What's up everybody? Welcome to day one of the 12 days of Christmas. Like I mentioned, each day is going to be a different topic that we want to touch on that we think is important going into 2023, recapping some of the conversations that we've had in 2022 and some of the conversations that we want to have in 23. So our first topic today is what is giving? Why is this a season of giving and what does it mean to be a giver, right? So as we all know, Christmas is a time where we're all giving. presents, we're all going to parties, you know, things of that nature, right? And the conception around giving is that you have to give material items, you have to buy presents, something, right? Something tangible. But the reality is that we can give in a variety of different ways. It doesn't necessarily have to be a gift. We can give our time. We can give our energy. We can give our effort, right? things that sometimes are not attainable, but something that may be something that someone needs, right? So if you have a friend or a family member that they ask for a favor, go do that favor. Maybe something that may have to take you out of your every day.

You may have to be late to that party, late to that function, whatever it may be, but go help that individual, right? Each and every time that we help someone and we give, it's a moment where we can reflect on our selfless actions, things that take us out of our everyday task, things that make us do things that may make us a little bit uncomfortable, but put a smile on someone's face, right? And that's what it means to give. So give means to put a smile on someone else's face, not with the intent of getting anything in return, not for any reason, just with the action of doing something good for somebody else. So I hope this Christmas season and into 2023, we live in the mantra of giving. We live in the mantra of doing selfless acts for others, whether it's a stranger, whether it's a family member,

whether it's for yourself, right? You can give for yourself. But the act of not having to do something materialistic and form of giving, it could be through actions, you know, buying someone a coffee and randomly in line, whatever it may be, but there's different ways of types of giving. So I encourage you guys to give. I'm curious about what are some of the ways you guys choose to give this holiday season. If you haven't already, make sure to tune in. Listen to the podcast on Spotify. Listen to it on YouTube, wherever it may be.

Share with friends, share with family. But this is for the season of giving. And we appreciate you. Thanks, guys.
