So today we're gonna talk about my experience filming on the Social Harmony Time to Talk podcast. I believe we filmed it in March, I believe, and it just came out early this morning. And I tell you what, that was probably the funnest interview that I have done. And I've done a few. So yeah, go check out my interview on YouTube or go listen to it on Spotified or Apple Podcast, and you can find it at Social Harmony, Time to Talk. I know I was really excited because he posted it on his social media and tagged it to me yesterday. But he is based in New Zealand and it's a different time zone. So when I thought it was coming out yesterday, well, yesterday when it was daylight, it was nighttime there. So it came out really early this morning, and I got off at 2 a.m. and it was posted I think between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Somewhere around there. I I don't really remember, but man, it it was so awesome. And he just the questions that he asked me, and he's so professional, and I actually got to talk to him when the podcast was done recording, and he's such a good dude, man. I would love to sit down with him and talk again. Like it was such a good experience, and I hope if I ever do another interview that it's as awesome as that one because he put time in researching me and asked me questions that no interviewer has ever asked me, and it was cool. I I want you guys to go check it out. Like, I also poured my heart out. I I was honest about everything, and I in it I had fun. There was some parts that were kind of emotional, but I didn't show it. But all in all, great experience, Mr. Davis is a wonderful host. I just had a blast, and more interviewers need to be like him. So go give him some love, please. And tell him the CFG sent you, because probably again, my favorite interview that I've done. Other than that, it's been a really good week. Um, I did a couple 12-hour shifts at work. Um, me and Lindsay are doing amazing, and you know, that's another thing I wanted to talk about today is I'm just blessed, you know, and it takes one special thing to really show you how blessed you are. You know, a lot of people take things for granted, and I too have taken stuff for granted, and it just takes that one thing to really show you how blessed you are. You know, whether it's you bought your first house, or you know, you can put food on the table, or you meet somebody you never expected to, or your job, you know, and just the relationship that me and Lindsay have had the past a month and a half has been wonderful. I mean, yes, we dated as teenagers, but we're adults now, we're two different people. And, you know, the 11 years that I was single, you know, the the first, you know, four or five, I didn't want nothing to do with a relationship. I was happy being single. I it was just me and my son, I did, we just did whatever we wanted. And the past few years, you know, and I don't talk about religion much, but it came to a point where my son was getting older, and it was like, you know what, maybe it's time. I don't do dating apps, but you know, I did try the whole Facebook dating thing. That is an absolute joke. And, you know, I was getting ready to come to the conclusion that, you know what, maybe there really isn't anybody out there for me, and I'm okay with that. And then I get a message from an old friend, and we just reconnected, and now it's like the best thing that's really happened to me. Like, I am truly blessed to have her. She supports me, she encourages me, she stands by my side. It I I'm just truly blessed. Like, and I hope you have an experience like that where something makes you realize how blessed you are. There's so many things that I could say about Lindsay. It's just it it's just been wonderful. Like it truly has been wonderful, and I hope that if you're in the same situation, don't lose hope. Don't lose faith. Because honestly, you know what? They're right when they say there's somebody out there for everybody. I didn't believe it. And I I asked God to bring me my person. And I realized that He was just putting me on, I don't want to say putting me on hold, but it was time. And the past 11 years, it just wasn't time. It wasn't time yet. I still needed to, you know, get my mental health in check. I needed to, you know, really come together as a person. And I needed to grow up a little bit. And there's so much things that we just don't think about. And then when something like that happens, you start to think about it. And we sit down, you know, a few times and like, you know what, this happened for a reason. And the things in your life happen for a reason. Don't ever lose hope because you're destined to do great things. Whether you see it or not, it's true. You are destined to do great things, but you gotta put in the work and you gotta put in the effort. And you just gotta if you can dream it, do it. And there's a lot of cool things that are being talked about and planned right now that I will discuss at later times. But yeah, things are good, and I I can't believe how good things are. It's been amazing. And not only my personal life, but with the podcast, like I'm at like 900 and something downloads. Like, I'm still very new to podcasting, and there's a lot of things that I still don't understand, but nine hundred and something downloads that's amazing. And like, I never imagined anybody would want to listen to me, you know. I I I just can't, I'm dumbfounded, you know. People see a logo that says confident fat guy on it, and I know if I would see that, I would definitely not expect what the confident fat guy really is. And it it just blows my mind, and I thank you all so much. Um, I I just can't thank you guys enough, and I hope you guys keep sharing the podcast out and sharing it with your friends and family, and just putting in the word and follow me on TikTok, follow me on Instagram, follow me on Facebook. I have an email at confidentfatguy.com at yahoo.com. Email me, you know. Um, if you want to be a supporter, you know, go to wherever you're listening to the podcast and hit support channel. Like you guys have blown this up so much that I never imagined it. And I'm thankful and I'm truly blessed, not just with my personal life, but with the CFG. Like I'm gonna I'm working hard on building this and taking it uh further and I'm not rushing things, you know, I'm planning things out and I'm weighing the pros and cons. And also I put on my social media yesterday that I'm thinking about doing merch, which I've said that before, and I've been thinking about it, but I just wanted to see if anybody would be interested in it. And if I do do it, it's not to be rich. I'm not charging an arm and a leg like other, you know, peep other brands, you know, it costs five bucks to make or ten bucks, and you charge sixty dollars for it. That's not gonna happen. Um, I've just got to sit down and plan things out, and not only that, but you know, there's talks of, you know what, I'm not even gonna ruin it because there's so many cool things that are in the idea phase right now, and that's all I'm gonna say about it. You guys, I will catch you guys up on future episodes. Just, you know, follow me on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, at Confident Fat Guy, and I there will be more details on the podcast and on my social media. It's just it's a good time, and I'm blessed. And you know what? I hope you guys are blessed too. I hope the things you're working hard on, you accomplish everything. Remember, like I tell you, conquer your dreams and crush your goals. But while you're doing it, be a good person. Treat people how you want to be treated because there's a lack of that. And if you're struggling with mental health, talk to somebody, get help because you're not alone. You might think you are, but you're not. I preach that. You are not alone.
