Jean Pearson (00:00):
Be gentle with yourself, accept who you are. We're all in the same journey together. We're all connected with one another. Most of all, treat yourself like your best friend. Be very gentle. The sooner you accept who you are that it's enough, it's good, it's great. You're alive. It's my message out there.
Ken McLachlan (00:34):
Hey everyone. Welcome to Realty Life, my podcast where I get to meet really interesting people that I've known for a while, some of 'em I haven't known. And I get to talk to people from all different types of industries, all different genres, not just about their work, but about really the focus for me has always been about getting behind the scenes of what's going on in their life, how they get through their life, and what makes them who they are today. So I have a lot of fun doing it. I'm really blessed to be able to do this. So today I have a really good friend of mine that I've known for. I think I first met this guy, I golfing at Actor's Studio, some type of thing, which I'm not even, I don't even know the name of that we'll find out in a minute. But we won the tournament several years in a row, not because of my skills, but in spite of my skills. But I am blessed to have him in my life, not only in my professional real estate life, but in my life as a friend and a mentor and someone I can count on to be there for me. And I'm really excited to have Jean here. So Jean Pearson, welcome to my program.
Jean Pearson (01:46):
Well, thank you for having me, Kenny. I love you. And just to, so you were at our act fraternal, we were raising money for the ACT funds with the DGC, the directors GU of Canada, and I was far from real estate. Then you came because we needed a fourth player and this is like 23, 24 years ago.
Ken McLachlan (02:09):
It's a long time ago,
Jean Pearson (02:10):
Isn't it? It's a long time ago. And we hit it off,
Ken McLachlan (02:12):
And I remember I made one special shot that actually won us to tournament. That's all I did all day. You guys carried us to get us there. But I closed my eyes and you guys hid behind me, looked the other way, and I hit it and made it sat. And we won. We got these leather jar. Anyway, that was a lot of fun.
Jean Pearson (02:31):
One par three.
Ken McLachlan (02:31):
Yeah. And that's where I got to meet you, which was a blessing for me. So who are you? Who are you, Jean Pearson tell about
Jean Pearson (02:39):
You? That's a good question.
(02:41):
I think it takes a lifetime to understand who we are. And same here. I'm glad that you're inviting me so I can share with your audience how you impacted my life throughout the years. Almost three years ago, we were at the office and you asked me, first of all, no, we were at the office. We went for lunch. And then you said to me, do you know Marcus Aurelius? I said, yeah, vaguely. He said, I have something for you. And then the second question says, are you doing any journaling? I said journaling. I used to do journaling years and years ago, so we can get back to that. But that episode really had a huge impact. It's going to be three years now that I journal every single morning. And I have a copy of Marcus Aelius meditations book and my journal, and I write down a lot of stuff like many people are doing.
(03:44):
But to be more precise, I grew up in Cent and Quebec. So my background is Francophone. I came to Toronto about 39 years ago. I used to come to Toronto to film. My background, as you know, I'm an actor. I've been an actor for almost 50 years. So I used to fly to Toronto to come and do commercials and all sorts of jobs. And I remember people may remember this that are in my vintage, and there was a commercial for Freedom, 55 of London Life. So I'm the guy on the sailboat that says I'll be retiring like my dad in the background, I remember. And the director said, you should come to Toronto, you will work for sure. So I took his word and I came to audition many, many years ago, and I decided to, he said to my cousin's, an agent. So I signed up, I met with his cousin, I signed up and I started auditioning. I was getting everything because I knew face in town and the Toronto. Then people were very curious if somebody knew they didn't want to miss an opportunity. So there was no preconceive judgment. So this is a good important thing to remember.
Ken McLachlan (05:09):
How did you get into acting though? I mean, did you just wake up and was your family in acting? Was it, how did you,
Jean Pearson (05:15):
Not at all.
Ken McLachlan (05:16):
How did you get this way?
Jean Pearson (05:20):
When I was 18, 19 years old, I let on really early. And right after high school, in those years, I didn't want to go straight to cjp, which was just before university. And I decided I had a friend that left, was living in California, and I just left on a song, take a walk on the wild side, Lou Reed. I bought a motorcycle and I said, okay, I'm going to go to la. I didn't even know it was an adventure trip. How old were
Ken McLachlan (05:55):
You then?
Jean Pearson (05:56):
I was 18, turning 19. So
Ken McLachlan (06:00):
You had a motorcycle. He said, I am, take a walk on the wild side. I'm going to, what year was this?
Jean Pearson (06:07):
1976. So
Ken McLachlan (06:08):
Lots of changes, music, arts, a lot of stuff going on. And you just grabbed your motorcycle and took off.
Jean Pearson (06:16):
I grabbed the motorcycle and I said, oh no, I had just bought the motorcycle. And I'm like, so I still had some marbles up here. So I said, no. I said, no, no, no. If I do this, I'll die for sure. You'll kill yourself. Yeah. So I returned the motorcycle. You did? I bought a plane ticket and I flew to LA and then I bought a motorcycle, the Hollywood Dream, 160 cc with the big, and we didn't have helmets there in Los
Ken McLachlan (06:47):
Angeles. Okay. Wait, wait, wait. I want to get this sage set. So you're fly to California, you buy a motorcycle. Did you have friends there? Did you have
Jean Pearson (06:55):
I had a friend. So when I arrived, so all I had was a piece of paper, the address of my friend. And I didn't contact him at all and didn't have any, we didn't have cell phones, we didn't have anything. So his family gave me his address. So I took a cat from the airport, and I will always remember the cab driver looked at me and I was very green, young man in landing in la. He says, okay, just remember one thing, son. Don't trust nobody. Wow,
Ken McLachlan (07:33):
That's good advice. Hey, coming from the
Jean Pearson (07:35):
Airport, I'll skip all the episodes because he saw me, he saw arriving with my big pack, Zach across the pool, and he played a number on me and had some friends
Ken McLachlan (07:47):
There. So you're in la, you're fresh in a Quebec and you're just there to have the adventure.
Jean Pearson (07:56):
Yes. But he was in acting school and I was very hungry to find anything to do. So I'm in Hollywood, very, very, I didn't join the theater group in high school. I just wanted to escape home and do something different. So I discovered acting, acting me a friend. Cool. They all have big homes, all the stars. I want that. So it's really, really innocent. Oh my gosh. And I remember joining the school he was at, and my first play a View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller, and I played Rudolfo, the young kid. And how
Ken McLachlan (08:43):
Was your English jean? How was your English at the time? Because French is your primary language, right?
Jean Pearson (08:49):
Yes. It was not as good as today, but it was to play in Italian. It was great. So I had some sort of an accent and I don't know if they knew it was Italian, French or whatever.
Ken McLachlan (09:00):
Okay, so you're in LA and you're 18, 19, and you're acting school. You get the odd gig here and there, and what happened
Jean Pearson (09:09):
Then? I came home, finished my CEP. And what is
Ken McLachlan (09:13):
CEP?
Jean Pearson (09:14):
CEP? It's like college. Okay,
Ken McLachlan (09:16):
Got you.
Jean Pearson (09:16):
There's two years of college before in Quebec? Before and university.
Ken McLachlan (09:21):
Okay.
Jean Pearson (09:21):
So I finished that, but I had already started in industry working in radio stations, working at CBC, international and journalism. I was doing everything possible to be in front of the camera or behind a microphone. And that's how it started. And I took courses. I was very driven. I wanted to make it. Wow, you got the bug. I got the bug. And as your L, it was difficult. It was not just like, oh my goodness, it was really innocent, the idea that I had about being an actor.
Ken McLachlan (10:03):
Well, did you know any limitations to it? Did you know that? No. How
Jean Pearson (10:07):
Different limitations were not, you didn't think of that. When you're a kid, you don't think of
Ken McLachlan (10:11):
It.
Jean Pearson (10:11):
That's something you start thinking when you get older.
Ken McLachlan (10:14):
Is your friend still in the business? Your LA friend?
Jean Pearson (10:17):
Yeah. He became a really well-known in his field, not in acting, but doing lighting for a huge, huge shows. He did some in Dion. He did major shows.
Ken McLachlan (10:29):
So he was in the industry
Jean Pearson (10:30):
Still. Yeah, doing
Ken McLachlan (10:32):
It. So you're back in Quebec, you're doing your thing, and somehow this I know about you, you end up in Tokyo.
Jean Pearson (10:38):
Oh, this was much later.
Ken McLachlan (10:40):
How much later was that?
Jean Pearson (10:42):
That was in, that was in 19, 19 94. I was in Tokyo with er de sole.
Ken McLachlan (10:48):
So from to the eighties and early nineties, you're working in Quebec as an actor in front and behind the camera.
Jean Pearson (10:56):
Yes,
Ken McLachlan (10:57):
Correct. And that's how you made your
Jean Pearson (10:58):
Living? That's how I made my living. I came to Toronto in 87. 87. So I came to auditions in Toronto. And like I mentioned earlier, that was the start. But before that I was in Quebec doing the odd jobs.
Ken McLachlan (11:14):
So it's not unusual for you just to pick up and make drastic changes in your environment, going to la, moving to Toronto. We're going to talk now about you living in Tokyo with Cirque de Soleil and doing that for years. And so your pattern was not to sit back, your pattern was to actually embrace what was in front of you, right? To take
Jean Pearson (11:39):
Changes? Absolutely. Because it taught me that, and that's why I was having a hard time planning. It was very hard to plan anything because my life on a phone call with November though, would change completely. I would do something, be on a lake, go fishing. I remember up north with a friend of mine who we had our little pagers, and the minute the pagers rang, oh my goodness, that's my agent.
Ken McLachlan (12:08):
Yep, you have a gig. So
Jean Pearson (12:09):
We found our way to the phone booth, call the agent. I have to be in Toronto when tomorrow morning. Okay, bad. So yes, you need to adapt it.
Ken McLachlan (12:23):
You were the whim of whatever was going on, and that's really the life you had. And so in 94, you ended up in Tokyo. And how long did you live there?
Jean Pearson (12:31):
Almost a year.
Ken McLachlan (12:32):
It was just a Cirque Solei thing
Jean Pearson (12:34):
In a five star hotel with the Cir sole. I had nothing to do with the Solei, actually. It was the woman that I was with who was the lead singer. What did you do in Tokyo? And what I did? Well, I've created work. I started coaching some of the people in the peripheral who needed this, some acting skills conversations. But what I did that I really, really enjoyed, I helped a group, something like that, a group of Japanese musician. There were two or three who were playing old instruments, medieval instruments, and they had a singer and they were prepping the show to go and to the festival. It was a musical festival that was happening in Quebec. It was easy. So I was introduced to them to help them.
(13:41):
They only spoke Japanese and they really wanted to make an impact. I worked with them for about a month and a half in prepping them to, not musically, but to interact with the audience and what they would like and all this. So I picked, we have a poet in Quebec, Felix Lele, who was really well known, one of our amazing poet. And he had a song that went so myself and my shoes have traveled a lot. So I had the singer rehearse learn that song and the music in no time, they had the music. The music scored them, and they played it. And they made such an impact that it made the news because the Quebec audience were completely floored when they heard that. And also the interactions with the public and all this in French. But it taught me how committed they were and how hard they worked. And I learned a lot from that.
Ken McLachlan (15:03):
So moving forward, you ended back to Canada, Toronto, you continue your acting business, you're very successful. You played a lot of different movies and different voiceovers and things, and you still do to this day. And it's a major part of your life, correct?
Jean Pearson (15:20):
Yes. I actually have a movie coming out the Carlton and on November 7th and a TV series coming out on CBC French. Same in November as well. Yeah. So I never quit.
Ken McLachlan (15:35):
So again, taking another leap into real estate.
Jean Pearson (15:40):
Okay,
Ken McLachlan (15:40):
So you're
Jean Pearson (15:41):
Your fault.
Ken McLachlan (15:43):
Well, so you have a very good career and you still have a very good career as an actor in front of and behind the scenes. And you did make the decision to, for whatever reason, to get into real estate and tell me why. How did that happen?
Jean Pearson (16:06):
The light bulb? So when we met some 22, 23 years ago, 24 years ago, following that, I remember you said, you should be an agent. You just said something. You should be an agent. I was like, we're talking about you should be an agent. I'm an actor, man. I arrest
Ken McLachlan (16:29):
My case.
Jean Pearson (16:30):
I arrest my case. So I ended up doing a movie in Prague, the Prince and Me.
Ken McLachlan (16:37):
Yes, I remember
Jean Pearson (16:38):
With Julia Styles. And we were at a hotel. My wife was pregnant actually early pregnancy, and I was not there for the first Echo Echo when
Ken McLachlan (16:56):
Ultrasound,
Jean Pearson (16:57):
The ultrasound, the first ultrasound. And I remember vividly, she sent me a fax at the hotel. We didn't have emails. And I saw this little dot, your daughter, my daughter Ava. And then I had an epiphany. I'm like, oh my God, what if this stops? I'm going to be a dad. And I became like, okay, I got to find something, something else. That's how it started. This basically, I remembered like it was yesterday and I took my course in real estate and oh my goodness, and I hadn't been in school in years. It's a change, isn't it? Yeah, it's a change. Yes. And people said, you're an actor, you're going to be great. I said, they had a misconception of what an actor is about. We do don't. We had zero skill in business. First of all, I had zero skill in business. I always had agent that looked after me. I just showed up for the performance.
Ken McLachlan (18:02):
Well, you had, if I remember the process a lot was the Deborah Bain was mentoring you at the very beginning. Yes. That's funny. And to this day, adores you. And she tells a story about having you with her at open houses and the time you spent together. And it's just a joy to her life to see you today. I know that. And it's fun to see the transition from you, a brand new agent and how you've combined your life, all aspects of your life, your acting, your work you're doing as a great realtor, the connections you have in this industry, the growth you've had in this industry. And let's add another layer or two on top of that, your work you do in the community to raise money for different causes, which are really near and dear to you and to all of us. You do a lot of work with that through your cycling, through a lot of stuff you do.
(19:05):
And I want to get into a bit now about changes in our life and how we deal with changes and how you did touch on it a little bit at the beginning of this podcast about the introduction to meditations in Marcus Aurelius. And for clarity, the book Marcus Aurelius to me that he wrote meditations, which is his life, his diary basically has made a tremendous impact on my life. And I find that it is a book that I read every day and I make notes on every day. And I probably have gone through it, I'm going to say 20 times. I don't know what the number is. I will go 20 times, 20 more times through the book reading it. I don't read a lot every day, but I read it enough to get impacted by it and the change that it made into my life for my life and how it made me deal with the different changes that are happening in my life and the realities that are happening in my life.
(20:11):
And I've been fortunate enough to talk to you about that and the impact that it made on me. I guess it was an occasion that we had that I mentioned it to you, I didn't start the day saying, I'm going to talk to Jean about meditations. It was just in our conversations that we had about things, I think you might've asked me about what I was reading, what I was doing, the things that impacted me. I don't know what it was, but I got to share what made a difference to me. And I want you to go a little deeper, if you can, about meditations and what it means to you in his words and the changes that have happened to you because of your work that you're doing every day, if you wouldn't mind.
Jean Pearson (20:56):
Well, that's a great question and it's a very good question. And you're touching basically the base of everything in everything we do. What I've learned through my life, and I think what Marcus Aurelius and the meditations provided me in the journaling was a framework to understand how inner peace being in touch with your authentic self was important. The past is past the future. I wake up in the morning and tons of stuff that's coming up, meditation's just the word itself. I started to do this writing down, meditation, putting on, but it has the form a letter sometimes it has a form of just the way of catching my breath. And I know you've experienced that too, where you're writing, you're writing something's upsetting you or clouding your mind. And at some point you go like,
(22:27):
I know that. I know that sound. I get it. I get it. Right. And that is the essence. And that takes away a lot of the fear. And for me as an actor, there was no other place more important to be than in the present and in the listening mode. There's nothing, you have to be absolutely 400% present when you're doing a scene to know what's going on in your partner, seeing partner's eyes or things happen. But to transpose this in real life, in other circumstances, for years and years and years in real estate, I was afraid of making mistakes because of the impact. You make a mistake as an actor, okay, we'll do it again. But in real estate, I was all the, oh, don't be careful. Watch yourself, watch your back. You can get sued. The consequences were huge. So it's only when I started to do this writing, and this will apply to anything, the fear started to fade slowly. And the inner peace connecting with my inner peace, that deep breath became more and more often and more accessible quickly. And then I became more present. So that's how impactful this Roman emperor of 2000 years ago that left some notes. And you're, can you imagine?
Ken McLachlan (24:27):
Yeah, I mean I think we talked, and I know we talked about, because I relayed to you my experiencing in journaling, and I think I may have said to you, Jean, that it was important to be unfiltered for me
(24:41):
To write, not trying to understand what I was writing, but just to write whatever was in my pen, in my hand and my mind, and to let it flow and to enjoy that process of letting it flow and learning from that at all times. And for me, journaling has always been about talking to myself basically and understanding myself better. And I think that without journaling and without having journaling in my life, the stress of my life would've been perhaps more overwhelming at times. I would've been more prone to get within myself and to get overcompensate for ideas and stresses and whatever you want to call that. So I can't tell you how important it has been for me to have journaling and meditations in my life, Marcus Aurelius, to learn from the words that he put down so many, many years ago. And to actually process that into my own thoughts, in my own words and how that made me deal with any problems that I may or may have in my life at the time. And it is been so impactful on me, and I've been with you when you've spent your mornings, we've been on trips together and spent your mornings with your book, and you do it by hand, pen. I don't do
Jean Pearson (26:18):
Thousands of pages of
Ken McLachlan (26:20):
Don't
Jean Pearson (26:20):
Have
Ken McLachlan (26:20):
To transfer this somewhere. Everybody does different. I do it on a computer program. I can't, my arthritis bothers my hand already. And that's just what it is. I used to do it by hand, but I have to do it every day. To me, that's part of my pattern every day is my discipline I have for the first hour of my morning. It's constantly the same no matter where am it has to be the same. And it's really important to have that and the impact that it's had on my life and the direction of my life has been so profound on that. So I think you've had that experience as well,
Jean Pearson (26:57):
Right? Well, you notice the small little changes, right? We don't observe ourselves, but except for the fact that you realize, okay, I'm more present. It's not going to change how reactive I am. If we compare each other, we've golfed enough that you'll know that I react quickly. But I think the writing and the, it's a reset. It's a daily reset. Yeah, it is.
Ken McLachlan (27:28):
And I don't think to be true to it, we all react. We all have our moments. But I know for me, I don't tend to spend as much time there in that reactive mode as I used to. I'm more prone to get myself out of there quicker and to not spend a lot, I mean, we all have these ups and downs in our lives. Everybody does. I'm no different than anybody else. But what I've realized with the work I've done with meditations and journaling and reading and is that I don't spend as much time down there in that dark, dark space. I get down there once in a while, but I tend to prop myself up quicker. And that's, to me, that I truly credit the work I've done on the learning I've done about who I am through my meditations reading and my writing, my journaling, that to me has been an incredible tool that I've been lucky enough to have that's gotten me to the point that I don't have to spend as much time down there anymore. Do you agree with that or,
Jean Pearson (28:33):
Yeah. What I love about you, Kenny, is that you share, you're not afraid to share. And your curiosity leads you there. You're curious about other people and you share your ideas and you share that with me, which was an incredible gift. And I know you do with so many people, no matter what happens, you always have an ear, an ear for how are you doing? You're connecting you, you're connecting with everybody. And that is, I think ever since I've known you, you are saying you're not different than anybody else and you have all these emotions and all this, which I don't really see all that much except you'll laugh quicker. Don't sweat the small stuff. Don't get in your way. I've heard that. Oh yeah.
Ken McLachlan (29:44):
Get out of your
Jean Pearson (29:44):
Way over and over and over again. So you come very equipped. And I think
Ken McLachlan (29:51):
So what are you different? How's de genre different today than you were three years ago?
Jean Pearson (30:00):
Much more focused. My focus is much better. I catch myself a lot quicker. It doesn't change the fact that I am in traffic and this morning in Waga, what's wrong with you? And it doesn't change the fact that I do have these moment where I react. I mean, there's me who was reacting at 5, 6, 7 years old, and I'm still doing the same thing except you mentioned, you said something a couple minutes ago. I don't stay in it longer. Yeah, that's so true. I catch myself to, okay, this is really not good, not good for my heart. It's not good for my brain, it's not good for my surrounding. So I put things in perspective. And the teaching of Marcus Aurelius is where he says, everything's about your perception of things, how you perceive your experience, control what you can control and what's outside of your control. Just let it go. And that resonates. It's not that complicated. Life is not that complicated. Things are meant to change. The nature changes. And that's one of his legacies. I'm like, it's going to change. What you're seeing right now won't be the same in a few minutes from now. So it's how you perceive it
(31:31):
That will make it a big difference on how it resonates in you and the experience of others with
Ken McLachlan (31:39):
You. And I always talk about always getting out of our way. We tend to, for me, once I train myself by my readings and my writings to get out of my way more, it made it easier for me to just be myself and to enjoy this journey that we're on. And to not be so tough on myself, not to be. So it's not life or death, it's just this journey that we're on of living a full life and being there for our family. And I know how important your family is to you and as my family is to Yeah, huge, huge. And you live it huge. You just
Jean Pearson (32:15):
Don't
Ken McLachlan (32:16):
Say it huge. You actually, I know you to live your life with your family. That's really, really important to you. You have the integral part of your life, and I love that about you. And I think that it's just this journey that we're on to keep growing, to keep experiencing things, and to get out of our way and don't get so upset about things and really just do the best we can is all that matters. And how I do it is by having the discipline every day of to read. Right now, I'm reading meditations. I read different books from different philosophers that are stoic. And to learn as much as I can about STO for me, and to have that be part of my life and to write about it and to be the best I can in that environment on that. What would you tell Jean to people that are stuck right now? Would you give them advice on anything or,
Jean Pearson (33:14):
Well, one thing that comes to mind, and I'm sorry I'm emotional about this. I'm not sorry, I'm emotional about this, is be gentle with yourself. Accept who you are. We're all in the same journey together. We're all connected with one another. And you need help. We all need help reach out. But most of all, treat yourself like your best friend. Be very gentle because all that matters is the sooner you accept who you are, that it's enough, it's good. It's great. You're alive. That's my message to you, my message to my daughter. It's my message out there.
Ken McLachlan (34:09):
Can I add something to it?
Jean Pearson (34:11):
Yeah, absolutely.
Ken McLachlan (34:12):
I think that it's important to listen to what you just said, and I think it's important to know that it takes work. It does take work. It's not going to happen by itself. It does take a discipline. And discipline's not a bad word. It does take the exercise, repetition, the exercise and the imperfection of what we do to make a difference. And to me, that's been the biggest thing, is that it's okay to have the imperfections of life and to be that, just be myself and to learn and to keep growing. And at my age now, I'm still doing that. I'm still, every day is growing and learning. And I know you're doing it as well. So it's a good lesson for us to have is to have that. So this has been fun. We're close to our time limit is so much more we can talk about. But this has been my friend, I've really appreciated you doing this. I know the scheduling was difficult at times to do this, but to share our personal journey of what the impact that we've had on each other and the impact that we get from things that are outside of us is very important. And people, if they wanted to get ahold of you, Jean, how would they get ahold of you?
Jean Pearson (35:38):
They can call the office.
Ken McLachlan (35:40):
Yeah,
Jean Pearson (35:41):
They can call you.
Ken McLachlan (35:43):
They can call me. But you have a website, don't you?
Jean Pearson (35:46):
I have a website, yes.
Ken McLachlan (35:47):
What is it?
Jean Pearson (35:48):
Jean pearson.com. Well, that's J-E-N-P-A-R-S-O n.com. That's the realestate website.
Ken McLachlan (35:56):
That's it's your real estate, but it's a connector for people to get ahold of you as well. All your numbers are there.
Jean Pearson (36:01):
Yes. And they can definitely comment.
Ken McLachlan (36:03):
Yes. What do you do? Working on it? What's your next thing? You mentioned a movie or something that's coming out.
Jean Pearson (36:07):
Well, I have a movie coming out. It's called I, and then now where I play this character who I'm the dad of, a young man who's struggling through cancer. And as a dad, I'm also, I have early Alzheimer, so it's very, very loaded, very emotional journey. And it's interesting that we're talking about our lives. There are people out there that are struggling with this, of course. And so that's the movie. It's their journey of going through adversity. So it was amazing to film and I can't wait to see it. I haven't seen it yet. Yeah,
Ken McLachlan (37:02):
It'd be fun.
Jean Pearson (37:03):
It'll be fun. Yeah.
Ken McLachlan (37:04):
Are you going to publish what you're writing?
Jean Pearson (37:06):
I dunno. Maybe.
Ken McLachlan (37:07):
Are you keeping the nose,
Jean Pearson (37:09):
Oh yeah, I have it here. And you go, here's one. Yes, I have lots of books.
Ken McLachlan (37:17):
Even if it's just to keep for your family, your daughter and your wife to share and your friends or your close friends. I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of intimate writing in that.
Jean Pearson (37:28):
I'm actually, I will. I don't put it out there, but you're asking the question. Yes, I'm going to do something with this. Okay. Well, I'm hopeful for it.
Ken McLachlan (37:45):
Jean, my friend, thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. And this has been fun. I appreciate your time and your effort and the difference you're making to myself and a lot of other people. So keep doing it. Keep reading meditations, keep writing, and we'll see each other soon, my friend.
(38:01):
Thank you.
