Teil 3 - Martin Frey und Stacy Taniguchi - Über lebensverändernde Entscheidungen, Erkenntnisse und magische Momente

Torsten J. KoertingIt's really making me think with these questions, it's wonderful. And I'll put Andreas on stage. He's a loving and young father that is striving for his life and to live his life fully together with his family. So it's great to have you here on stage, Andreas. Andreas, what's your question?

Gast 2Yeah, Stacey, Martin, good afternoon. Thank you so much for this incredible and inspiring speech today.

Torsten J. KoertingIt's a big honor for me to listen to your words and being part of the audience today. And so first question, Martin, after all these challenges, so the sweaty preparations, the setbacks, and the pain you've been through, and as a result, all these incredible accomplishments,

Gast 2what is it that today that keeps you motivated?

Gast 1Andreas, thank you for your question. I think it's important to realize that I feel most blessed in life because I've always been able to create the next Everest, the next thing I was aspiring to do. And when I say that, it's not always about Martin. It's oftentimes a cause that I'm contributing to. But as I've evolved my career and I've evolved my family life and all the things that I do for service, it's always been able to flow together beautifully. And that's what I feel most grateful for in my life, that I didn't get hung up somewhere and that I've kept this momentum. By keeping that momentum, it stays fresh every day for me. And so I'm naturally, you know, I have this test. You talk about tools, Andreas. It's the shower test. If I'm in the shower and I can't wait to get to work or I can't wait to do what I have planned that day, then I am not motivated in quite the same way. And I know it's time to reevaluate where I am in things. I'm so grateful that the motivation has stayed throughout the years. I see a lot of people, they start to shrink their world and create a safe little box and they play golf or they do their little thing in that box. I've been able to constantly keep stepping out of my comfort zone, trying new things and letting that refuel me in that recovery and renewal process that has just made it joyful through the journey. And that is what you can do. And so you create this upward spiral. Sometimes you have to make huge pivots like Nicola did. And then you have to keep fueling it in a way that enables this upward spiral rather than a downward spiral. And there are lots of things to read and absorb and think about that allows you to keep that upward momentum going. And that's where the motivation comes from. Wonderful. And how about you? How do you keep it?

Torsten J. KoertingWell, actually, I think a big or huge part of that is gratefulness. So it's one thing in my morning routine. It's gratefulness and most of the time I'm grateful for my life, the life I lived up to now and my wife and my little daughter.

Gast 2And I have a wonderful time with her, actually.

Torsten J. KoertingAnd I enjoy every day. And, yeah, it's pretty much if I see her laughing, if I watch her growing up, that's a wonderful moment. And that's a wonderful start into the day, actually.

Gast 1Congratulations, because you know your why. You know why, you know, building your family and strengthening it are a big motivator for you. And that is giving you that energy in the shower that I got to deal with all the things I have to do to pay for everything and build my career to all of that. So that's where those drivers come from.

Torsten J. KoertingThank you so much. Actually, I got a second question for both of you guys. And if you could choose only one experience out of your life, what would that be? Stacey, maybe you start.

Gast 2You mean from the list?

Torsten J. KoertingOut of your life, only just one experience.

Gast 2Yeah, it would probably be finding my wife. So I'm like you. That's a huge value for me. And then, of course, finding her opened the door to having children. We were fortunate enough to have two children of our own, but we also adopted two children. And they now have their families. So we now have 10 grandchildren that we enjoy. I've discovered that being a grandparent is better than a parent because then you just have them for when you want them and can do things. But, yeah, no, it definitely was meeting my wife and starting my family.

Torsten J. KoertingPerfect. So, Martin.

Gast 1Well, I think for me, it's going back to what I'm most grateful for is that constant evolution of evolving my life forward. Obviously, including my family and my wife, who's listening, so I better mention her and how grateful I am for her. But it's that so many people start to settle or they start to doubt their own journey, that the journey is this joy of progression. And that's what this adventure mindset teaches. It's the freedom that comes to who we can become and how we will evolve if we continually build on our self-efficacy and our self-determination and our resilience in our way as we face challenges and setbacks and things we can't control. But I submit to you that each of you listening to this call have more control over your life outcomes than what you realize at no matter what stage in life we are. And we have to exercise that understanding. And as we do, we will realize that we can control and manifest our destiny and point our life in the direction we'd like it to go much better than we realize. And that would be my wish for you. So don't be afraid to choose that Everest or to choose those things beyond you that are bigger than yourself today. Use those values to enhance your life, to know who you are and what you stand for, and to not compromise. So many people disintegrate, truly disintegrate because of those compromised values. They don't have a way to measure the success of their life. And I think all of that contributes to who we can become, what we can achieve, how we can serve and make an impact in the world and expand our circle of influence. So I wish all of you a great journey.

Torsten J. KoertingInspiring words. Thank you so much. Thank you, Martin. Thank you, Stacey, for taking these questions. And thanks for Andreas. Thank you for raising them. Outstanding insights you have uncovered with these questions. Thank you very much. And we've got one more question before we, I wouldn't say wrap it up, but at least, you know, have some transformation in this group that is still with us. So thank you, Andreas. And we'll now have Heiko on stage and here with us. Heiko just recently made a big decision without knowing us, really, but feeling the energy that we are able to spread and to ignite in people's lives. And within their massive action approach to be guided by us and mentored by us for a year. So I think he's really looking forward to this and maybe has some like these feelings in his stomach that you would have, Martin, if you would need to skydive or base jump or bungee jump. So, Heiko, I'm really looking forward to your question, which will take you to the next level, Heiko. Maybe, maybe. Thank you. Yes. And you explained when you climbed the highest summits and when you get higher and higher, especially when you get above 15,000 feet. I heard the air gets thinner and thinner and a lot of people get crazy there because you don't have enough oxygen for your brain. And so I have two questions for both of you. Oh, God. Four questions. Not, not, not, not difficult. Did you carry something like a mask, mascot with you? And did you leave a mascot or a sign or a flag on the top of the hands, on the top of the mountains?

Torsten J. KoertingStacy, you want to go first? What has been the symbol, the mascot you took and what have you left behind?

Gast 2So a lot of times when you climb some of the, the, the big mountains, um, you, you may have sponsors. So you're usually carrying a memento to recognize the people who have contributed financially supported, you know, whatever. But one, one of the things for me has always been, I always have a picture of my family and I carry that with me on every expedition and it's, and it will go with me all the way to the summit. Um, I, I usually don't leave anything on the summit. I, I know a lot of people do, but I, I usually don't, but yeah, I would say it's, for me, it's, it's always the picture of my family. Because, uh, like Martin had said, you know, you, they are actually the anchor that keeps me safe. Whenever, you know, when, when you climb Everest, what we would do is because like you said, our minds may not be working as well because we are not assimilating the oxygen as well, et cetera. We actually write things on our hands to remind us of the things that we need to do to check our oxygen tank regulator, to actually make sure that we're going to put our gloves back on our hands. Uh, you know, those things for me, the, the one that's always in capital letters and it's at the bottom of my hand is remember your family. And that's, that's the message that I always, when I take my gloves off and I'm checking through there, that's the message that always keeps me remembering that I've got to get off this mountain alive. And, and, and so it, that, that, that's, that's basically, I guess, my mascot.

Torsten J. KoertingSo Martin, what has been your mascot and what did you leave behind?

Gast 1So Heiko, I took three things with me. The first was a picture of my friend, Steve, who died after summiting Denali with me. And I promised him, he would climb with me on every mountain. And he's done that. And, and that's been important. Number two, I took, uh, a, uh, my family. I had a little poster of my family that I showed them. I love them. And number three, I took a university flag. To the summit of Everest and planted it on the summit of Everest to let the unit, let the, the, the students in the state of Utah understand that their college education would take them anywhere. They want to go in life and to pursue as much education as they could, even if they didn't go to college. But that was the big enabler for them. So that was my big statement. I think if I were to go again on another big climb, when I went to the North Pole, I actually planned, I had a poster or a banner, I guess. And we held it up at the North Pole on climate change. And I can pull that up and share it with you. But that was the most important thing I wanted to share from the North Pole. What's going on in the Arctic is, is, makes you cry when you see how we are decimating our world. And, uh, it will be, uh, a real challenge for future generations to figure out how to, how to clean this up.

Torsten J. KoertingThis has been a decade ago, right? Or not. It has been a decade ago. Yeah. Seeing this. I see it very interesting that, that you both have your family, especially your friends, as anchor with you. And, uh, yes, you all also take your vision with yourself. That's, that's great. That's, it's good for us as well to use it for our business.

Gast 1I think having that purpose and utilizing that purpose and growing into it and finding out how much bigger it could be as you have opportunity to expand it and through service to others. And, uh, it resonates with customers. It resonates with employees. It resonates with us internally. All of that is just good business, uh, uh, sense.

Torsten J. KoertingThank you, Haikyuu. Thank you for that question. And thanks to you for these insights. And we, we will wrap it up in a couple of minutes. And, um, for the two of you, we have a surprise, which I'm going to share with you in a couple of minutes. However, this is a transformational call. And both of you are driven by, um, inspiring people so that they might change their life a little bit and turn it either two millimeters into another direction or maybe have a 180 degree turn like Nikola. So, we would like to have everybody in that room, think about, for two minutes, what's the decision you will make today that might change your life and give it a different direction for the future to come. What has been the decision, what has been the decision, what will be the decision you're about to make, might, that will change your life forever. Will you change your life for the time to come? What you are hearing tonight, what you have been inspired by, what you have been inspired by, the messages that have resonated with you, what's the decision you're going to make today? What you are going to make tonight, right now, right now, in that very moment, to give your life a direction to appeal to your life and your environment deserves. It's not too late, not too late to give your life a direction to thrive, to live up to your full potential, to envision to climb your Everest.

Torsten J. KoertingTurning your life around or moving it in another direction can happen now, can happen tonight. If you're willing to make a decision, because you have been inspired, you have learned something about yourself. So, if it's okay with you, Martin, just for a couple of minutes, we'll take some shares. And, well, we see whether there is some courage in the room to write it in the chat and commit yourself in front of that audience. By also raising your hand to be on stage and to articulate the decision you've just made. And to commit on that decision so that your Everest becomes even more concrete than ever. Who's willing to share his or her decision that you just made? Just raise your hand. And see whether you have the courage to turn it into reality. Now give a big hand of applause to Georg, who raised his hand first. And Georg, there are two men in this room that have strived so far and that will strive until they take their last breath in life. And they're here to inspire people. And they're here to inspire people. It's their free time. We're far beyond what I have anticipated, how long this call should go and will go. But sometimes it's like a box of pralinés. You never know what you get. So, Georg, we're really keen to understand what you're thriving for and what's the decision you have made. Georg? Well, since at the moment I'm in a big transformation process, my commitment to all of you is that I will skip my many lists and do only one list. And, Stacey, that was the very, very valuable nugget for me which was missing till today. Once it's on the list, I will keep it. That's the new habit and my new process where I commit to. Thank you very much for the inspiration. Georg, thanks for sharing. It's great how you reflected on that and making this transformation process even more real than it probably was already. What will be different, Georg, tomorrow? What are the items that might be scrapped from the many list and what is the item that springs to mind that will be the first one on the list to thrive? One crazy first one is six months ago, I started to learn martial arts and I said, okay, I will do it. I just go there for one year. I will just show up. But it already has become a part of my identity to do it and to learn it. So, it already works in my mind and now this is the first thing to put on the list. I will do it for my life long. Easy. Thank you. Easy. Georg, what seemed to be hard became easy. That's what it is. Thanks, Georg. So, thank you for sharing. And we've got two more shares that raised their hand. So, first of all, ladies first. No, not ladies. I saw Agatha. But the young ones first. Justus. Back on stage. The one that is thriving already. Justus. What's the decision you made tonight? I made the decision tonight that I don't want to define ever again money as success or as the only success. I want to do this what is my passion about and what I want to completely change. I will call tomorrow one of my customers. They have a project that is not paid or anything. And I will do it for completely free because it's for a good purpose. So, I will do it like I did many times before. And I think I lost the spirit like six months ago. And I think it was a very bad decision or like a decision I not really took. But yes, I took it. But I want to do it. I do. I want to do it. I want to reverse it. And I also want to order a PvP drone. A first person view drone. So, it's a thing that I've never did before. But I want to do it so that I can take more epic footage. Or probably I do it right tonight.

Torsten J. KoertingMartin, you're on mute. I'm sure you want to say something.

Gast 1Sorry. Justice, I love that you're seeking that intrinsic motivation rather than that extrinsic motivation with money. Congratulations. Thank you, Justus.

Torsten J. KoertingAnd this will change everything, right? Hopefully, yes. Very good. We'll watch you.

Gast 3I know, I know. I know, I know.

Torsten J. KoertingWe got your back as well. So, thank you very much, Justus. So, there are more shares to come and we'll take them, of course, because it takes courage to promise and make a decision in front of that audience. So, let's have Christian back on stage. So, what's the decision you will make and or have made and how will it change your life forever? So, my decision tonight is to use my heart as a compass to my Everest. So, my mind and my skills and all the things I learned, I have done so far, they support me in my way, but my heart will really be the compass to guide me, to lead me, to support me, go through the things in my head. And the anxiety and the fear and all that crazy stuff, all the voices in my head saying you cannot do that or it's not possible because my heart knows everything I want, I can do. So, and there is no limitation when I follow my heart. Christian, how will that change your life tomorrow? Is there anything that you have followed that where the heart was not the underpinning driver that you might look into from tomorrow on?

Torsten J. KoertingYeah, I think I have to, no, I feel, I feel I, I have to focus more on my heart and not spend so much attention to my mind, because my mind is also very active. And I see it as a tool, it's not another enemy, but to, maybe they can work together. So, this is something that will maybe change from tomorrow. Christian, may I? Yeah, go ahead, Martin.

Gast 1Christian, as you seek to listen to your heart, make sure you find quiet and solitude and quiet. It's hard if you practice mindfulness. That's a great way to get into that awareness state and a listen to what your head and your heart are telling you to guide you.

Thank you.

Torsten J. KoertingYeah, silence is a very good space for me to, to do that. Thank you, Christian. Thank you, Christian. We can't wait to observe and see the changes that are going to take place. So, two more ladies we have in the room, and we'll start with one of them that has been in our closer proximity for a couple of years now. And she made a bold decision in one of the events, Martin, where you were on stage as well, where we dialed you in from Utah and we had that very deep conversation. And she made a decision to quit her job and to go into the unknown. Wow. This was a decision that bothered her for quite some time. But during that experience that we went through over those two days, she made that bold decision. So, she's now here on stage. And I got a gut feeling that it's not like, oh, I might get out of bed tomorrow. It's going to be a different decision. So, Isa, welcome on stage. What's your decision you made tonight?

Gast 5Okay. First of all, it's so good to see you again, Martin. And I've seen Kim in the audience as well. So, so good to see you again.

Gast 1Thank you. Thank you. You too, Isa.

Gast 5Thank you. And Stacey, unfortunately, I was a little bit late to the call tonight, but I will listen to the replay and it's so great meeting you today. Thank you very much for being here. And to my decision, which will change my life is unfortunately one which has to repeat again, because Torsten, as you said three years ago, I quit my, quit, quit it, quit my job back then. And I think I have to do this decision again. Okay. It's the second time I need to do it, but it will be to my best because, yeah, my decision is I will leave my current job at the technical university where I'm currently working at. And to finally find and work a meaningful job. And shall I continue with the rest now? And hopefully I can do it with the curtains. The curtains. Yeah.

Yes. Yes.

Torsten J. KoertingHa ha. Great move. Stacy, Martin, you changed not just her life, but our life as well.

Gast 5Yeah, I wasn't sure if I can be that detailed or if I should. But yes, it's time for me to change again. And I'm so happy because this call today was the last bit, you know, to bring me to this decision. So thank you very much, guys. Time is up for change.

Torsten J. KoertingWe opened the bottle of champagne tonight.

Gast 5Yeah.

Torsten J. KoertingOkay. She's the one organizing the nature leadership experience for us, Stacy and Martin, that you might be part of this year. If you made that decision tonight. Yeah, we don't know. We already have a little bit of her time and skill and experience and love and energy.

Gast 3But we need more. And now we're going to get it. So we're so happy.

Gast 1Well, Isa, I want to tell you that part of the nature leadership experience is here in the United States. So we do events in both places. Oh. And you should come do a evaluation of the places here. We need to get. Yeah. I'd love to do that.

Torsten J. KoertingWe'll send you there. And you take Linnea with you. She's part of that. Yes. And the tour.

Gast 5I would love to do that, Martin. Yeah. Of course I would. Yeah. Great. So thank you guys. It was the last bit. Thank you for that.

Torsten J. KoertingAh, big hand of applause to Isa. Thank you. See you later.

All right.

Torsten J. KoertingSo there's one lady left to share. And then we've got the surprise for the two of you. I can't wait. And she has been with us as well for the last 20 years. And she was a client of ours. She was a partner of ours and so many more. And she lives a great life with the kids and her husband and made some bold decisions as well over the last couple of weeks and months. So let's listen into what she has to say and what she has decided tonight. Anik, your stage.

Gast 4Okay. Hello. When I left you a few months ago, I promised you to stop being on a journey. Stop screwing around, finding one stop, another stop. And today, I think I stopped. It took so many energy finding my way. So I decided, stop searching now. Take all my passion. Take my knowledge and take my heart to enable other people to let them grow and let them shine. And stop doing it for myself. Sharing because I got a lot to give. And this is what I decided today. And that's the promise that I make to you guys. And I put all my power now to focus on that, to let other people shine.

Torsten J. KoertingThank you, Anik. And to twist that a little bit and to give it a little bit more concreteness, what will be different tomorrow?

Gast 4Tomorrow, I'm working only on the focus to get my new brand started, to cut all my other stuff up and really to be like, I don't know, I just can't say what I feel now. I don't know exactly what I do tomorrow, but it feels like all my power is back. You know, it was like I was totally cut it off from my energy. And today, my fingers are, you know, it's power in my fingers. I haven't had that for the last, I don't know, years. So I can only tell you that it feels like now I can do this. And I promise you to tell you tomorrow what I will really exactly want to do. But it is a yeah, it is for me overwhelming because I haven't expected that today. So thank you for sharing all this inspiration. And hopefully I can give some from your inspiration back to other people. That's great.

Torsten J. KoertingThank you, Anik. And we can feel you. You're a very empathic and feeling oriented person. That's how we've known you for decades. When I got to know Stacy and Martin introduced him to me, he mentioned that Stacy was on his path to get his PhD. So the doctor thesis and to get a doctor thesis, you have to dig deep. You have to study people. You have to study something that is unique. And he found out about the principles that let people and teams grow in nature. And what it takes for within adventures to let you grow. And right now he's on a different, on a different journey, Stacy. And maybe you can ask Anik a question that enlightens or supports what you found out already, Stacy.

Gast 2Well, I find it, Anik, that it's interesting. And several of your other audience members have mentioned this as well, is that they're making some decisions right now because they feel something. They feel support, they feel encouragement. And that feeling, several of them have mentioned, comes from the heart. And I know that might be a figurative thing, but it's, you know, obviously there's something internal. And I think most of you are aware that there are different, studies have shown that there's different types of intelligences that people have. You know, there's cognitive intelligence, which we measure by IQ. There's emotional intelligence. There's physical intelligence, which is about your physical nature. But there's one particular area that some people talk about, but they, they don't talk about it very much because they feel like it's too tied to religion. And a colleague of mine, he and I have been actually doing some studies and we're finding some very interesting things. And when you talk about how you feel and you're going to make a decision based on that feeling, we couch it in an area we call spiritual intelligence. And in, in the academic world, it's, it's an area that some people have started to delve in, but not very much because it's very hard to study. But what I'm finding very encouraging is that many of you have mentioned tonight that you're, you're going to make some actual changes in your life because you, you feel it in your heart, you feel it internally, you have the courage to move on. And it's giving me a whole lot of insights and encouragement to continue our studies around this thing we call spiritual intelligence. We definitely have found that it's something that everybody possesses. Not everybody is aware of it, but what our question is, is can you strengthen that level of intelligence? Just like you can, you know, you can strengthen your IQ, you can strengthen your emotional EQ, you can train your body to have a better physical ability. We are looking into the idea that people can build their spiritual intelligence. And I think what we've been talking about tonight is a part of that process. And you have been giving us. And you have been giving us verification that it must make sense to you that it resonates with your audience members, that if you're given some ideas and insights and tools, it can strengthen that spiritual intelligence to get you to actually move. Move forward in your mind. So I really appreciate that from those who have made those comments.

Gast 4May I give you one answer from my side?

Gast 2Yes, please.

Gast 4It's probably the way from just my opinion that I gave me the permission to feel it. To feel it, to live it, and to speak about it. Because I felt it before. I felt it as a child. It is nothing really new for me. But giving me the permission to live it, to feel it, that's the big major change. And I guess if people would talk more about it, that's my experience, which I got in my life. When people are, like, encouraged to talk about it, they tell me, "Oh, yeah, yeah, I felt that as well." And it makes it stronger. And it's really, really crazy what happens if the people are encouraged just to talk about it. And it's like, yeah, multiplying the power.

Gast 2Yeah, thank you.

Gast 1Annick, may I share a thought? I know you have said a thing for tomorrow in your mind. You have a milestone. You're going to provide the answer. I'd invite you to consider that you lay out your game plan. Or you lay out your ideas on paper. And then you really then allow yourself time to ruminate on them, to consider thoughtfully the congruence with your heart and with your head. And maybe sleep on them. And then the day after, right, give yourself two days. Then just see what still feels like you are Everest or that thing that stands out. When I left Silicon Valley, I had to make a big choice, right? For 13 years, I was building out the internet around the world. And then I had to define the next chapter of my life. And there were things that I consciously wanted and I thought they were the drivers. But I got a pad of paper and I started to write. And things started to come out of that discovery process. And all of a sudden, I realized how important it was for me to give back. And that wasn't something that was conscious at the time. So if I'd only given myself one day, I think I would have chosen some of those things that were at the top of my mind. But because I then allowed that process, I chose a whole different path. And I'm so grateful that I locked on to that, which I did the second day, right? And then proceed from there. So consider that. Okay.

Torsten J. KoertingWhat a smile, Anik. That's the smile we want to see. Thank you very much, Anik. Thanks for sharing. And yeah, we could say all the best for your new life. Martin, Stacy, it's almost three hours ago that we started. A call that we anticipated to last maybe 60 or 90 minutes. At least that's what we talked about. And you're still here, fully focused. And we can feel you, that you live your passion. And that you found your why to inspire audiences like this. To invest time in midday Utah time. We started at 12:00 PM Utah time. It's now 2:30, 2:40. I don't know what the weather is out there, but it must be amazing. And you're still here, fully focused. And there is one way how we would like to thank you. There is no money because we know that's not the driver for you guys. It's the decisions that have been made, as well as the impulses, as well as the inspiration you were able to share based on the life you lived to make other people, the audience here, to live their life they deserve and their life they really want to live. And from what we were hearing, as the people that stood up on stage shared, you made a great impact already. And we made the decision to have something being created during this call that will remember you or that it will let you remember the magic moments that you have created, those two and a half, almost three hours investing and inspiring people that stepped into the room that we have created with you to become successful and to live the life they want. And therefore, I would like to call up on stage a lady that we got to know a couple of years ago. And she's one of the most talented cartoonists and caricaturists that we ever got to know. And she's got one special talent. She's able to inherit and, how do you say, integrate and observe a certain situation and transform that into a caricature. I don't know the English word for this. And Martina just joined the stage here. I know she's a very humble person. She gets nervous easily. And she's shaking everywhere because this mountain that she had to climb tonight, for the two of you, is mentally higher than probably other mountains that she has climbed already. So, first of all, give a big hand of applause to Martina. And Martina, I'm sure you've got some words to say and maybe to show what you have created for the two of them.

Gast 3Well, TJ, you know me so much. Good. Good. Yes. Yes. I'm very nervous. And it's not. I think I have to draw something around the night, you know, the things. I start with Stacy and I'm nervous and I listen and I have to. Oh, God, my English.

Torsten J. KoertingFantastic. You're doing great, Martina.

I miss all the words.

Gast 3Yes. I do this. And I think this is one of the most. decide to thrive.

Torsten J. KoertingYeah. Martina, thank you.

Gast 3And I'm sure that, uh, we will, um, reduce the time of anxiety. Is that the right word? Of, uh, uh, curiosity, um, by sharing, um, the, the digital version of the world.

Torsten J. KoertingYes. Yes. First. And share it to the audience here. Isa, ask for it. Yeah. And I'm sure we will all remember the night, um, with you and with your messages and your inspiration. Yeah. Yeah. And maybe Isa and I decide to bring it to be the, um, physical, uh, person to hand it over. So we do at least one for Stacy, one for Martin. Isa, what do you think? Yeah. So thank you very much, guys. It has been such an honor. Thanks to everybody that is still in the room. Um, listening in and listening in and listening in and listening in and listening in and listening in and listening in and listening in and listening in and listening in and listening in. Yeah. And maybe Isa and I decide to bring it to be the, um, physical, uh, person to hand it over. So we need two at least. One for Stacy, one for Martin. Isa, what do you think? Yeah. So thank you very much, guys. It has been such an honor. Thanks to everybody that is still in the room, um, listening in. And, um, supporting Martina in, you know, um, crafting that and handing it over to you. Um, we would both like you to invite for the next Alpine X this year, September. If you are able to do this, um, the two of you, I think you've never climbed a mountain or crossed the Alpine spine together. Um, that would be a great moment, uh, not just for us, but I think maybe for your life, even if your 100 list doesn't, uh, doesn't have that item on there, um, because Martin ticked it already. Um, I'm sure Stacy, that you would be, uh, um, it would be a great magic moment for you. Um, you haven't done it yet. And for all the ones that, uh, would be, and, um, are able to be part of that proximity, uh, when it takes place. So that's our invitation for you guys. Thank you very much. And it's always our, um, how do you say our, um, routine, our ritual that the last words, um, are with the ones that, um, have, um, inspired the room. The last words, not to us. It's not about us, but to the audience. Um, what's your core message that are your last words, Martin, you first, and then Stacy, um, to the audience that is still here, Martin.

Gast 1Would you mind if we did it in the reverse order of Stacy go first? Is that okay? Sure.

Gast 2My, my, my message is simple. Choose to thrive and want to come back and live your life over and over again.

Torsten J. KoertingThank you.

Gast 1My invitation is for all of us to go on gallery view for a minute. To take one hand and put it, your right hand, put it on your heart and your left hand and put it on your, your belly. To take a moment. To look around the room. To feel the strength. And the love. And the support that we have amongst ourselves. Picture us around a campfire. Looking in each other's eyes. Feeling each other's spirit. Recognizing we are each on a journey. An individual journey. But one we are doing together. One that we know we share with those close to us. Let's promise to support each other going forward. To give of our hearts and be mindful of where everybody is in their journey. To show love as we progress. And be willing to be open. And humble. When we fail. To reach out and, and ask for support. To help. Help enable us. To break down those barriers that keep us from drawing on all the strength that's in this room. My heart is full, and I share with you my support. If any of you have a need or a question, reach out to me. Brigitte and TJ have all my contact info. Call me on the phone. I will talk to you any time of day or night. I am here behind you, and I know Stacey is too. We leave you our blessing together, that you may pursue your Everest and your life of thriving. And we say that with our blessing and our gratitude for being here with you today. Thank you.
