Hello everyone and welcome to my first episode of my podcast. I'm actually recording this as well,

so I'm going to put this on YouTube too, but I'm actually very excited about this. I've never done

anything like this before. I've been on a few podcasts where I've been interviewed, but I've never

actually asked myself questions that I want to answer and share with you guys.

And on today's episode, the first episode, I'm going to talk a little bit about myself.

But just to give you guys a heads up on this podcast, on this YouTube series, what I'm going to do is I'm going to bring on people to interview and

share information with you guys that you enjoy, educate you, help you, and most importantly

make you smile. And that's what it's all about, you know? A lot of people have been asking me

what the next step for Duren is. What's the next step for you? And actually james on his book tour i was opening the shows

for him and i realized i'm actually all right at talking i mean i do a lot of talking on my stories

but you know what why don't i do a podcast you know i like holding the mic i like talking so why not

why not share with you guys a lot of people have actually been asking too. So let's start on the first episode and talk a little bit about me.

And talking about me, I can't talk about me and not mention my family because my family

mean everything to me. If it wasn't for my family, I wouldn't be where I am today.

You know, if it wasn't for my, if my mum't be where I am today. You know, if it wasn't

for my, if my mom didn't give birth to me and if my dad didn't give her the good, good,

you know, I wouldn't be here and you guys would have know about knee up 24-7. It's funny

because obviously English, English is my parents, third language actually, not second. Their

first language is Kurdish, second is Turkish,, third language actually, not second. Their first language is Kurdish,

second is Turkish, and third English. English isn't their strong point, so I can be really

cheeky with whatever I say, you know, and kind of get away with it unless my sister snitches

on me and translates it over. But start with my family. My family, I have a huge family.
