Les Brown And The Bamboo Tree Intro 0:00 When we're young, we have an amazing positive outlook about how great life is going to be. But somewhere along the line we forget to dream and end up settling. Join Up Dots features amazing people who refuse to give up and chose to go after their dreams. This is your blueprint for greatness. So here's your host live from the back of his garden in the UK, David Ralph. David Ralph 0:22 Yes, hello, Good morning, here. Good morning. And welcome to a Join Up Dots. This is a solo show, it's a solo show, it's just gonna be me, just gonna be me. But I've got things to say I want to, I want to talk to you guys, I want to talk to you about something that I get asked so many times, not by email, not by sort of listeners, but more often when I'm sitting with someone, and we go out for meal me and the wife. And me and my wife and my wife has this annoying habit. And she starts talking to the table next year. And it's all right, when they say sort of have a little chat, and then they disappear. But sometimes the people next to us kind of go, Oh, you don't mind if we join you and I joined another good. Okay. And so I end up talking to a lot of people that I've just gone out to speak to my wife, but just going out to have a lovely time. So juicing the old Why buy a bag of chips and a subway? I don't do any more than that, you know, is she worth it? After 400 years? Of course she is. But she likes a big subway. If you don't know why subway is across the world. It's like a big, ugly looking hot dog is kind of red. God knows what's in it probably the worst of humanity. And it has like little hard bits at the end, which it sounds disgusting. And you don't cook them, you just like lay him in boiling water. And I just thought simmer for a million years. But I love a subway, and my wife hates one. And they look they know, I'm not going to say that I actually censored myself here just for a second, it doesn't happen very often.  I've got this image in my head about Labradors. And kind of Let it out, let it out of the bag. But still, anyway. So we were sitting there the other night, and this family sort of sat next to us and the guy was talking about his job up in the city and stuff. And he made that fatal mistake of saying, I'd love to leave my job. I don't know what to do. And I'll keep my mouth shut, David, keep your mouth shut. And my wife didn't keep my mouth shut. And she said, Oh, we can help you with that. He's got his own business. And so the guy said, Oh, what do you do? And I said, How are you? I'm a podcaster of a podcaster? Oh, okay, um, can I hear you anywhere? Which is what I get that a lot. And what would be the point of being a podcaster? If I go? No, actually, you can't. You can't tune in. You can't. But they always say" Can I hear you anywhere?" No point would there be no point? And I said, Oh, yeah, you can get me everywhere you can get me on iTunes, you can get me on Stitcher, you can get me on tune in radio, you can get me on Amazon dot you can get me any way you want. But you use special man have got me here. And so he said to me, you know, what I'd like to do is I'm starting my own business. But I don't really know what to do. So I sat with him for a little bit. And we were sort of chatting about different things. And he was, it was a pleasant God. And Benny said to me the thing, which is what this episode is all about what this episode is all about. He said to me, you know, but how long do you think it will take?
