Hello everyone in my friendship circle, my audience, all you lifters and climbers.

Speaker: 00:00:11

This is not a typical episode today.

Speaker: 00:00:16

This is more of a status report, a check in, and also a preview.

Speaker: 00:00:22

of what's to come very soon.

Speaker: 00:00:25

On this day, I am packing my suitcases after having spent the last three weeks

Speaker: 00:00:32

in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and tomorrow I depart for Bali, Indonesia.

Speaker: 00:00:42

Where I'll spend a month.

Speaker: 00:00:44

This is a part of my Encore Explorer adventures.

Speaker: 00:00:50

I've shared some of that story, those plans with you in, uh, Episode 76, Teen

Speaker: 00:00:58

Mom to World Traveler, that is here, of course, on your favorite podcast

Speaker: 00:01:05

platform, but also available on our YouTube channel at the Encore Catalyst.

Speaker: 00:01:15

I also wanted to let you know that today is the announcement of Season 5 coming

Speaker: 00:01:22

up later this fall with new guests.

Speaker: 00:01:26

If you've been listening to the guests that we've had on Season 4,

Speaker: 00:01:30

You know, we've got incredible people sharing incredible stories and their

Speaker: 00:01:37

versions of how lifting and climbing has affected their life and what

Speaker: 00:01:42

they're doing now in the future to spread that good vibe to others.

Speaker: 00:01:50

This is also an opportunity for me to I want to share with you that episode

Speaker: 00:01:55

61 earlier this year, the beginning of the year, was about my connection,

Speaker: 00:02:03

my experience with a woman in Bali, who I'm on my way to see tomorrow,

Speaker: 00:02:10

so stay tuned, we'll be sharing lots of content around that on YouTube.

Speaker: 00:02:15

The story in episode 61, which is called Sewing for Living, tells an incredible

Speaker: 00:02:23

lifting and climbing journey of a very small Rotary International Club based

Speaker: 00:02:30

in Ubud, Bali, and how they transformed a local economy and lifted local women

Speaker: 00:02:39

who were without financial support Looking, facing a rather bleak future,

Speaker: 00:02:47

especially during COVID, to now really thriving micro entrepreneurial businesses.

Speaker: 00:02:55

And it all began with one woman's...

Speaker: 00:03:00

request for a ball of yarn on her birthday, and it has

Speaker: 00:03:05

snowballed, pun intended, into

Speaker: 00:03:12

a sustainable and very impactful global reach.

Speaker: 00:03:19

project.

Speaker: 00:03:20

So I'd welcome you to listen to that and really get inspired and also get ideas of

Speaker: 00:03:27

what you might be able to do starting with something as simple as one ball of yarn.
