Hello and welcome to the unleashed Podcast, I am your host Kristina Sjolund, and today is going to get a little bit uncomfortable. Either you're going to love me or hate me after this recording. I woke up in the middle of the night, and I almost came in to record, I was like, Oh, I know that I'll wake others up. It was 2:30 in the morning, and I laid there in bed and I was writing notes, I had to go downstairs and write notes because I didn't want to wake my guy up, and I'm like, these things have been eating at me, we are business people, we are entrepreneurs, we make our livelihood in business. Does this make sense? I don't want to feel or sound weird or anything like that, but I know that each and every person who's listening to this podcast is probably, if they're not feeling the way that I feel now, they probably have, or they're going to feel validated. If you don't, and you disagree with me, that's totally okay. I'm used to that, and it's okay. But, we're at a time in our world, and we've talked about this before, we're in a crazy time, I get it, It's different now. It's getting really tense, and we've always been told you gotta be careful what you post on social media because it'll hurt your business. Are you tired of that? Because here's where I'm at. We are where we're at, because we have been silenced. If you are a business person, if you're a business owner, or even if you're a sales person and you depend on sales for your livelihood, you are silenced. But you know what? Your voice matters.

SHOW NOTES:
• So I shared it because I loved it. It spoke to me. It brought something out in me that felt powerful. Not that I was powerful. But it was a powerful feeling. (3:50)
• Because I'll tell you what, my voice matters. When it comes to helping children, bringing attention where it needs to be, because if somebody else isn't doing that, those kids deserve that, we need to call out the people who are saying the things that they're saying, we need to call out the people who are doing the things that they're doing.(5:55)
• Politics is too divisive. But let me tell you something, our health and children can bring us together. If we come together, we can make changes, we can change things, we have been silenced for so freaking long, our world has gotten out of control. And let me tell you, it's not going to take just one person to get us out of this, it's not going to be one person, it's going to take us collectively to come together and start making ourselves heard, we need to speak for ourselves, we need to speak for the voiceless. (9:17)
• One of the posts that I did this past week has been shared over 1100 times, and the people who are speaking on it, I go back and I'm looking at the comments on it... That people are like, Yes, this needs to be said. Another one of my posts, it's one of the posts that I made regarding business and what's going on and speaking out and using your voice, that's their strength, that's been shared nearly 100 times, and the comments, the friend requests, the follows... When I go back and I want to see what people think. I want to see what people have to say, because I want to be their voice. (12:50)
• We all have to start fighting back because pretty soon are small businesses are gonna be no businesses, it's time to speak up, it's time to make your voice heard, it's a time you wanna live and least live on leash, it's time, it's time for us to all gather together, all speak our voices, we all need to stand up and call out what's wrong.
