Speaker 1 (0s): Well, good morning everybody.
Speaker 0 (14s): Or is it good afternoon or is it good evening? I guess it depends on when you're listening to this. However, whenever it is, you're listening to this. I'm hopeful that it's good. I had a great weekend cause I'm recording this on Monday. I spoke with an incredible woman this weekend that had such an amazing story. It was like the hero's journey.
And it made me think about how strong people can inspire the lives of all of us. At times we all face adversity. And at times we all face obstacles that we seem are insurmountable and often a lot of us get stuck. And when we get stuck, I think it's important to turn to the stories of people who have made it through those tough times. As an example. So much of the media today is commodified.
And as a father who has a young daughter, I often worry about the examples for her to follow. As far as strong women, my wife is incredibly strong and beautiful, and my mom and the women in my family are very fortunate. They're all that way. The woman I spoke to today, mrs. Mona's shake is a standup comedian who came from Pakistan at the age of 14. She has overcome so many obstacles and the way she carries herself, our outlook on life and her ability to fight with the heart of a champion is really inspiring.
Now, wish I'm hopeful that we'll be seeing more of her. And I wish she was on prime time giving talks at schools and I really admire her courage and I really admire her willingness to be open about life. And I really admire her. So that being said, I hope everyone here enjoys this interview with an incredible woman and you can look her up on the internet on Instagram and are all her links will be in the notes for this particular podcast.
So thank you. I hope you enjoy Aloha.
Speaker 1 (2m 52s): Hello. I'm so Mona, how you doing?
Speaker 2 (3m 0s): I, I got, I'm not gonna lie. I was a little nervous. I was a little stressed out there for a minute, but I feel much better now. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (3m 8s): Thank you. You discovered a new platform. You can connect all your stuff on here and you can, the world can get to know the greatness of George Monte. That is so kind of you to say that. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (3m 21s): Yeah, it's interesting. Cause I was looking at similar platforms to try and understand how to connect everything. Yeah. And it's so nice to know someone that had gone through this that you can kind of piggyback their experience and have them teach.
Speaker 1 (3m 37s): I'm all about that. Piggyback this back is strong. Let's do
Speaker 2 (3m 42s): It is strong. Mona. I've been
