Good morning, everyone. And oh, so many of us are still riding high from coming back from Idaho Falls. And oh, well, you just said so exciting to have these regional events. I thought it was all excited just coming back from Las Vegas and reminded again, but Michael Durkin talked about human beings love to accomplish things. And I am so thankful for this company. Thank you Where we can wonderful things about our lives. It's just having meaningful work and that's the work that you can do well and makes a difference out there. Another thought when I look at life, I think all of us would agree that real happiness is just the joy of good friends and relationships, who we love, who loves us. And along that line, and fitting in with Avini, one of my very favorite thoughts, William James, excuse me, it was Ralph Waldo Emerson, he said that one of the most beautiful compensations in life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself. I just think that's a beautiful thought right there. Another one that I think is really wonderful fitting into this is that each friend represents a world in us, a whole world. Possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born and that we are a part of all that we have met. Isn't that a fun thought? And so this idea of being involved with these powerful products and being able to share and build teams and, I want to talk about a friend that I met many years ago, Shu. We knew each other. Another company, not very close. And in fact, when I got into a Vini, I thought of shoe. I thought he's going to be interested in this, but it didn't have your sonal number and someone else did. But anyway, it's just wonderful to have a shoe in our backyard and that he's shared with some wonderful things he's making a difference out there. And so we've got. Kelly, a new friend, and she's right here. So we're all in the inland northwest, a beautiful place to live and people that really need these products. But, shoe, would you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you were introduced to this? And, then, how you've met Kelly and then I just want to turn it over to you guys and tell some of your most favorite stories because that is what this is all about. We're making a difference out there and, thank, thanks for the part that you're doing. I know a lot of people are grateful and this is one of those businesses where you can really have an impact on another person's life and get paid for it. My goodness, what a dream job. Well, thanks, Dave. Good morning, Kelly. It was really a great trip down to Idaho Falls. I've been there before, and it's a gorgeous place. And, we had energy. I'm still vibrating. And I told MJ, I said, MJ, I think you've got into my head. And I don't know if I like that or not. And because he's gotten me so pumped up. It's just, he's having me do things I've never ever thought of doing before. I never ever, and all the way back, Dave, when you and I knew each other in other companies, I never once thought of building a business. Ever. I was only chasing those products that could keep me out of a wheelchair or on crutches. And we found a few things along the way, but never did I ever check out those comp plans. I just wasn't into it. It wasn't my thing. But I do like helping other people, and it's been a really a wild ride. Miss Avini has set people on fire. We are headed to great things. For those that missed Doug's call yesterday afternoon, that would be worth going back, listening to that. He's got some exciting things coming up. He has me on pins and needles after he got done yesterday. Everything we do gets you excited. I had an opportunity to talk to Neil and his wife for a few minutes down there. We'll And I had to tell his wife, I said, do you have any idea what he's doing to everybody? I said, every time he opens his mouth, we all do better financially, health wise. And he's a person that doesn't have to do this. And it's just been easy and it's been fun. And, like Jerkin says, I'm not doing this unless it's fun. No matter what somebody brings me, I'm not doing it unless it's fun. Well, now he can't go anywhere because we have him. Kind of like Rick. We have Rick too. And he's not going anywhere. Neil's not going anywhere. They're all staying right on top of us. And I've got to meet some amazing people. Absolutely life changing, life saving people that have helped me get through things that I've gone through. And Stephanie sharing her story made me come out and share my story. I didn't share that story with my wife. It's one of those things that you can't get enough of. I didn't know Kelly, had her business card. I'm gonna let Kelly share that story. She tells it pretty cute. I like it every time she has that to share. Kelly, are you there? I'm here. Take it Carol. Take it. All right. All right. Well, my traditional business is I own a thermography business. I do medical thermal imaging, mostly breast imaging and breast health education, and I'm in a little clinic. She somehow got my card and one day I was in a meeting and my phone rang. Somehow my phone ringer was turned on. That never happens in a meeting. And the next thing is I actually answered the phone, which I don't do in a meeting. So as soon as I answered the phone, my first thought was, Oh no, how are you going to get off the phone and be polite? And all I hear on the other end is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I've got something that might help you. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Can we meet? And in my mind, I'm thinking, okay, I just got to get off the phone. I didn't hear anything he said, really. And I said, how about Tuesday at 10 o'clock? Okay, that'll be great. Quick, hang up. And I'm thinking, I have no idea who this guy is or what he wants. I'm thinking maybe he has a piece of equipment that's going to be helpful with my thermography business. So, Tuesday comes around, and honestly, I had completely forgotten about the meeting. And, knock, knock, knock on my door, hey, there's somebody here to see you. I peek out around the corner. Shoe's sitting down at the end of the hallway. I'm like, oh, great. Come on back. So, Shoe comes back. He pulls out his papers. Starts talking to me about A network marketing company. And my first thought is, Oh, MLM, but my hook was the zeolite. I have used zeolite before. I was very familiar with zeolite. As a matter of fact, I was currently even had a tab open on my computer, looking at a zeolite product that I'd used in the past because I was, I wanted to try it again, I didn't really have any results, but I had done enough research that I knew what they were. And I really wanted the results. So that was my hook. But still, again, network marketing company. So, Shu left and he left me with enough information to get me curious. He sent me a few videos of testimonials that I watched. And then I kid you not. Every woman who sat in my chair to get a thermal imaging, Would say something about either her having a health problem, her husband, her sister, her mom, her brother, somebody she knew had a health problem, and my mind would go, oh my goodness, I just heard a testimonial about that. Every single person. So this went on for I don't know, two, three days, and throughout that process, I'm in, I'm looking at a Beanie, I'm on his website, I'm checking things out, and I'm like, alright, you gotta do this, you just gotta give it a try for yourself. So I went in and I ordered the 7. 99 pack at the time. She calls me the next morning, he says, so can we meet again? And I said, sure, let's meet down at our Croc Center, which is our community center. So we met, we sit down and he says, so are you ready to sign up? And I said, I already did. And of course that was a good giggle. But as we're sitting there talking, we hear a kiddo scream in the background. She looks at me and he says, I'll be right back. He takes off. I'm sitting there for 45 minutes. I'm thinking this guy's rude. I don't even know this guy. He's just leaving me sitting here. Finally, I get up to go find him. She was standing outside talking to this mama. with a little girl who's on the spectrum. He heard that scream. He knew what it was. This is my first training, people. He knew what that scream was, and off he went because he knew he had something that was going to change that little girl's life. And when I walked out there, he's on the phone with Robin doing a three way call. Once again, this is my training. Three way call. Listen, you'll hear something from everywhere and everybody. These are my first trainings. So that was my, let's see, baptism by fire with Shu. That's how that worked. And Shu had given me a bottle of Cell Defender while we were sitting in there because my order hadn't come yet. And he says, Hey, you got that bottle? I need that bottle back. So I went into the table and grabbed the bottle and he gave it to that mama. And that is how I met Shu. That was how it started. So really, with that being said, you can't say the wrong thing to the right person. I mean, imagine I'd ordered that other Zeolite product and just gone about my way, but divinely Chu somehow got my card. We still don't know where he got it. And he called me that day. It's pretty amazing. Chu? Yeah, that brings tears to my eyes, Kelly. Thank you. I need that to get my morning started. They're all good tears, you guys. You did. I get so teared up listening to these calls and stuff and it just gets my morning started and they're very precious to me and what Kelly and I've done in the short period of time that we've been together has been, you can't put a measurement on it. Her family and me have come so close. She's got medical people in her family. I've met them all. They've had their own testimonies. Kelly has had major testimonies within her family and her pets and she's, like she said, she works in a clinic with other physicians. Every single physician has signed up with Kelly. She's got what it takes. She's got the medical language and her and I run around the streets together knocking on doors. I do some more this week. One day she calls me and she goes, I got this other gal, I need you to have some one on one with her. And so this was Donnell. And so Donnell and I went to an event at the Fairgrounds. I just kept talking to people, nothing big. Nobody signed up. Donnell got to watch me do that. The following week, I had a booth. Donnell came to work with me. You could not keep that girl quiet. She talked the entire time. She even interrupted me at times. And she signed up a couple at that time. Couldn't believe it. Now you can't stop her. In fact, she was the number one enroller this last month with ten people. She was in Idaho Falls. She's committed to go Diamond. As did I. And then J. D.'s talking on a call yesterday about Black Diamond. And now I'm thinking, wow, should I up my game? And so that's on my agenda today. And listening to Doug yesterday, who has changed how we're going to approach the medical people staff, not just medical, but all the professionals. He's going to have it wired. And anybody that missed his call yesterday, once he posts that, you need to listen to that one. I'm going to listen to it again. And we're going to get that one down. And that's where we're in because what he had said yesterday is life changing. I've never heard him say some things that were stated yesterday on that Zoom. And it's going to change how we approach this business to a lot of people very easily. Dave, I want to thank you for being on, along my side the entire time and always reaching out. And, look forward to doing a lot more with you and Kelly and all the new people coming in. Everybody needs to get in right away. They're gonna miss the boat. And I've got to get outside and talk to some people. I live out of town a little ways. Talk to out here. I've already been out talking to the birds. But, I can't seem to sign them up. Oh, I love the idea that if you love what you can do, then you can do lots of it. And sometimes I've shared with people, especially when they ask me, how many hours do you work this? And they say, what does it take? And all of this. And I tell'em, well, I gotta preface this because you get into this company, and it really messes up your mind. I'm so confused. I don't know whether I'm working or playing. This is not a business where you have a time clock. You're not thinking, oh, my work and or whatever. So so much of fun is just the relationships and visiting with people and a lot of times, people will say, how do you do this? And maybe I'm doing a three way or sharing a story or something like that. And think about this, what I'm doing right now. That's actually the job description and I believe you would really enjoy doing exactly what I'm doing and we can do it together. But this is what we do. It's fun. And oh, my goodness. And then the thing I'm thinking about, having that card. How did you get that? There are. No coincidences, there's so many wonderful tender mercies and I've heard this thought that I just love that, the most wonderful feeling is to follow up prompting and realize that by doing so you were the answer to someone else's prayer. And I know I've been led to this because of my prayers. I had some problems and and this was a wonderful answer. And, who would have ever imagined six years ago when I had a health crisis? That it turned into my new career, and this is just such a, just a fun way to live your life is being involved in this. I think also is follow those promptings, don't let it go. You might miss something wonderful because all of these wonderful stories, it's always connections. And I think in my mind, There's probably potentially a lot of other wonderful connections that could have been made, but we maybe ignored that prompting or we didn't, say something. It would be so easy, for shoe at the crock center to hear that kid. And not do anything. Most of us wouldn't do anything and it fits into this idea that I've heard. It's funny, but it's very thought provoking is how long does it take? The average person to go diamond answer? The average person will never go diamond. So push yourself a little bit. And I, I love this idea that I've tried to live my life with is, if you don't ask the answer, then as always. No, so I'll always ask, I get into the game so much of it really is just the magic of the numbers, doing something again and again, and we have such a wonderful story to tell, learn to tell it well and tell it often and it'll fall on the right people, over time, you look at what we have, these products, they really do work and almost no one knows about it. Everybody needs it. And you just think we're positioned in a very special place and oh my goodness, success, can become a certainty if, if you just talk to enough people and, do the right thing again and again. And you have this magic compounding effect, where over time, success becomes a certainty in this, but the certainty and the success is all about this idea, that the world is better because you came, you've had wonderful transformations along the way. What a wonderful thing. So the timing's right, the opportunity's yours and let's go for it. I got a few minutes left. If somebody wants to ask, these wonderful people, a question, go ahead and push star six and. And then, re mute yourself, after the question, but, we've got a little bit of time if you are available. Hey, Dave, I'd like to tell another story. This is Kelly. Please. Yeah, so yesterday, I stayed in Idaho Falls because I've got a lot of family down there and sometimes it's hard to talk to your family. But I have a cousin down in Rexburg, just a little bit north of, Idaho Falls. That I've been talking to for a little bit and, she just hasn't been real responsive. Although she has three boys who work out at the nuclear site. One of them has had some pretty severe bad cell issues. He's a young man in his early 40s. Her husband has had some bad cell issues. They live out in the middle of fields. When I stopped by her house yesterday, I ran across two crop dusters. I pulled up to her house. And she's sitting on a bucket with a bottle of Roundup. Once again, she hasn't been real receptive for me. I'm like, what are you doing? She says, I'm killing some weeds. I'm trying to get it done before my husband gets home because he doesn't like me to use this stuff. So we get to talking a little bit more. And of course, face to face is much different than over the phone or email or texting even. And so she got curious and started to ask me a few more questions. I figured out what the problem was, why she wasn't receptive to me. It was because I was talking to the wrong person. I need to talk to her husband. She said, he's the researcher. You need to send him this information. He's going to be really, really interested in this. I don't have time. I was just talking to the wrong person and I thought that was really, well, what if I'd given up? So I just wanted to share that. I just wanted to share that. Yeah, I'm just thinking, wow, crop dusting planes, it's cool watching them, but when you think of what, what's going on, it reminds me when I was a kid, when the truck would come through the neighborhood and all of us kids would, We all excited because they'd be spring DDT, this big cloud and we'd be running through it. I just think, oh my goodness, all the stuff that we've done. And, yeah, we all need cell defender. Just, another thought, Kelly, talking to a family, I just got to share something that a wise person said that, when you get into this business, make a list and, Write down all of your friends and your family and now if you've talked to all of them when you're done with your cold Marcus but seriously, though Talk to your friends and family. They might not be as receptive. I love that scripture You know a prophet is without honor in his own land sort of thing that sometimes happens but if you love somebody They need to know about this. They really do. And so share it with everybody. Such an important idea right there. We really need to let everybody know. Hi, Dave. This is Phil in, Vancouver, B. C. I had a quick question for Shu, and that is, what happened with that little girl? That, you heard her scream. Well, it's a little bit of a sad story. Come to find out that her mother is in the service. And she was too afraid of losing her benefit if her child was to get better. It's something I've run into, Kelly's run into it also, some of these veterans, they're gotten up on Oak Camp and, she happened to be one of those. And if anybody came on the call, if they're still unmuted, can you re mute yourself? We're getting some interference. Hey Dave, good morning. This is Tony. Hi, Shu. Hi, Kelly. Good morning. Yes, good morning. Absolutely love this call. Love this call. Really, really enjoyed hearing both of you. All of you. It's funny. It's almost like, and it was wonderful meeting both of you in Idaho Falls. It was really, really great. It's listening to you. It's like listening to you. Recognizing that all of our individual Aveni families are like food, and we all have, it's funny, I was looking for grandpa's barbecue when we were in Idaho because I couldn't find it on my Garmin, and it lists Korean, American, Italian, Chinese, Asian, whatever, and listening, it's like listening to a different flavor, family, listening to how you work together, listening to you, it's like, okay, here we have Italian, here we have Chinese, it's just, it's wonderful. This smorgasbord of family that we have with Avini. So thank you so much for sharing today. It was beautiful. Love just the freshness that you're bringing and the excitement because you're moving, you're moving fast. So great, great job today. Thank you. And Tony, I'm going to come in. This is Robin and, you're right. I mean, it's so exciting. It just kind of fires you up again. Shu, could you tell one of your favorite stories though? The success and why you will reach out to anyone who you think has an autistic child. Could you tell the story about, Helen's grandchild? Since we're here and just give that beautiful story real quick. You bet. Yeah, that just gave me chills. Yeah, a few years back, I got a call from a mother, her and I were in another company together. She lives a couple hundred miles from me and she called me up and she says, Shoo, I need some of that stuff you got. I have a 29 year old daughter that was just diagnosed with bad cells in their brain. So I grabbed two bottles. I go 400 miles round trip that day to get her started. And the good results was she never had to have anything done. But she didn't stay on the product long enough. And now we know, if you don't, there could be one bad cell in there that could come back. And a year later, it came back in her breasts. Mother was smart enough to get her back on the products. Those disappeared. Again, no surgeries. But the day I met that whole family in the parking lot, she had this little tiny girl in there They're on the, standing there, that couldn't talk, couldn't look at you, had two to three grand mal seizures per day. And all I said to her mother was, we have Marcy in our group that has helped thousands of those kids. I never said to give her the drops, I never said to how much to give her, or anything. But, unbeknownst to me, she did start her child on those. And I'm happy to say, ten days later, that little girl called me, And saying the alphabet to me. She didn't speak it. She's saying it. And at the end, she says, won't you join me and sing my ABCs? That little girl graduated from high school on the track team. Mom and daughter are doing fine. It's amazing. One of many, you guys, one of many. Yeah, that kind of started, that was a few years back. So, yeah, I'm looking. I didn't know anybody in my business, I didn't share it, but I own a hazmat business. I work seven days a week, 24 hours a day. So Amy and I had no friends. So when I started into this marketing arena years ago, I didn't know who to talk to. How do you do this? And so what I did with Robin telling me, just keep going, you'll find somebody. I went to Walmart. This is no kidding, folks. I got some groceries in the My wife will not let me go grocery shopping. And I always put a roast in there. And back in these days, there was no automatic checkout. So the loans were lying, the lines were long and I would find a long line and we'd start going through that line. And I'd look around at the other baskets and I'd ask somebody, I says, do you guys have any idea how to cook this roast? I just thought, and that started the conversation. There wasn't anything said about products. I was making a friend. By the time I get to the checkout, I have their name, their email, their phone number. And that's how I started. I wasn't afraid to talk to anybody. As I walk out into the parking lot, if somebody's in a walker or on a cane, I always make a comment. I try to make a funny one. Just get somebody laughing. Break the ice. Sometimes if a wife and a husband are walking together, I'll say, Did she kick you and hurt you? Whatever the case may be, it's all you gotta say. All of a sudden, somebody's got a joke and somebody's got a laugh, and you're on, and that's the daily grind I go through every single day. And today, I have no idea who I'm going to talk to, but I know I'm talking to people today. There's just no doubt in my mind. I'm focused. It's in. It's fun. It's just so much fun. I wish I had some people running around this ranch out here I can go talk to, but there's only cats and dogs. So, reach out. You gotta get out of your own self. You gotta have the confidence that products work. You know, the guarantee. I usually come up with that statement somewhere along the line. They're guaranteed. But as soon as you get bulletproof, you've all heard enough. You all know enough. You all know the products work. You all know. Nobody's just disappeared, but, I love what you're saying. And I'm thinking in my mind. Wow. If there's everything to gain by asking and nothing to lose, well, by all means, ask, just another thought, getting a roast and getting in a long line, looking for somebody that does, a thermography, One of my thoughts, I think listening to Doug yesterday, and I think it would be everybody's dream, the prestige of sponsoring a health care professional and the influence that they have. But one of the things I've often thought about, and it reminds me of, Being in a meeting, years ago with another company and we're talking about that idea of being able to, how do you talk to doctors and someone just wisely with their experience and seeing the track record, I just made this comment. I just stuck in my mind. It says, I would gladly trade a hundred doctors for just one loud mouth housewife and. And if you really think about that, that's really so much to that. If you look at this idea in general, that about 80 percent of the people involved in network marketing or ladies, if you look at the idea, That usually the people that are interested in health that make the decisions about health are usually ladies are the ones that are interested in that. And then also, they're just naturally networkers. They have relationships. They're really into that, which. Fits into my favorite term of what we described, this business, it's relationship marketing. We could call it networking, and every business loves networks. Every business loves referrals and just learning to get referrals. And so one of the most influential people that you'll talk to is, I would just say, maybe stereotypical, a lady that's 35 to, 45, Young mother, maybe homeschool, patriotic, wanting to do something, make a difference. Those are really good people to talk to. I guess it comes down to talk to anybody, talk to everybody. So, any final thoughts for you, Sue or Kelly? It's so easy. It's so much fun. Go out and talk to anybody and everybody. You know everybody needs it. Everybody wants it. We're the only ones that have it. And you got 10, 000 people to support you. That's what's kind of fun. 10, 000 people out there to support us. Don't stop. Please don't stop. There went the garbage truck. I just missed talking to him. Dang it. Thanks, Dave. Appreciate it. Thank you, Shu. Thanks, Kelly. Thank you. Thank you, Kelly. Thanks for having Let's you bet. Just, you just put the fire under me again. You always do. You're such an inspiration. This is Lisa Brandon. Awesome. Go for it. Well, black diamond, emerald, whatever it is, be one of those. Don't be a secret agent. If you need distributor, be one of those other pins, don't be in the, witness protection program. Let people know what you're doing. So take care of everybody. Love you all. Let's go do this. Thank you. Thanks Dave. Yeah. Great call.
