| 0:00.0 | I don't want to pretend that I'm like, yeah, mischarismatic, I'm definitely, I mean, you know, |
| 0:04.6 | obviously maybe there's times, but overall, you know, I am an introvert, I am naturally shy, |
| 0:10.0 | and yet I love people and I love helping them and bringing them together. And so for me, it's like |
| 0:15.2 | I'm really fueled by ideas and possibilities. So the people I'm inspired by are the people that |
| 0:20.9 | have these big ideas that could change the world, the people who, I don't know, I can just get behind |
| 0:25.3 | their message, I love what they're about. So it's not like, oh, I want to be around all these people. |
| 0:29.5 | I mean, I personally prefer to just talk to people one-on-one or over an email and be in a group, |
| 0:35.2 | even like a three-person group feels like too much for me sometimes. But yeah, so, you know, I don't |
| 0:42.0 | think, I mean, I think that, you know, a lot of relationships, like a lot of my relationship building |

| 1:00.5 | in the room. I get to pick the environment, the food, the everything. And there's not |
| 1:04.7 | fully so many things to talk about, you know? Because, you know, when you're the host of the event, |
| 1:09.0 | so that has definitely helped me. But it is, I mean, even I think it's kind of a weird thing because |
| 1:13.3 | sometimes I'm in certain situations and I'm like, oh, I feel really uncomfortable and yet this is |
| 1:17.5 | what I do. And I also know that, you know, in certain ways, like I'm extremely good at it. But |
| 1:22.7 | then there's other ways where I feel like it's, you know, it's still hard for me. |
| 1:30.4 | I'm Strenie Rowe and this is the unmistakable creative podcast where you get a window into the |
| 1:34.9 | stories and insights of the most innovative and creative minds who've started movements, |
