Uh, yes, hi, Stefan. Sorry, my volume is muted.

No problem, no problem. I heard a bit of background noise there.

Uh, yes, I can turn that down. Yeah, just a background noise is not ideal.

Okay, gotcha. Sorry about that. No, no problem at all. Are we, are we on? Are we recording?

Uh, let me just, I'll get a backup recording going.

And yeah, it's a public call, so just remember no names and places, please.

And we are all set.

Yeah.

Do you want to just tell me what the issues are that I can help you with?

Well, first, I want to thank you for taking my call and also for returning to Twitter,

X, whatever, I think it's quite a testament to your skills, what you've been doing with your life,

that your daughter was able to provide you some great reasons to come back and talk to the

people out there who need your help.

Yeah, so I suppose I could just jump into it.

This past year of my life has just been a year for me where I've been going through a lot of,

I've just been going through it. I've had like a lot of just rapid changes,

experiencing a lot of new things for the first time.

I think in my email to you, my basic, I kept it very brief.

Obviously, I'm in my mid-30s for over a decade, I was on welfare benefits due to injuring myself in my early 20s.

And I finally managed to come around and get healthy enough to get back on my feet,

get into the workforce last year and um uh it's uh it's you know i'm really going at it i'm i'm working in a retail environment um within very short period of time, thanks to, you know, the time I spent while I was injured, spent a lot of time listening to you, listening to other mentor-like people out there, trying to improve myself,

improve my reasoning ability, stuff like that,
