| 0:07.5 | and today we are joined by Nikki Tibbles, who is the founder of, first of all, Wild at Heart, |
| 0:15.2 | which is a gorgeous flower shop here in London, and what I'm most excited about, Wild at Heart Foundation, which is a foundation |
| 0:23.6 | which helps dogs and animals all around the world. All over the world. Thank you. So nice to be here. |
| 0:30.5 | Thank you so much. It's so nice to have you. And I honestly don't really know where to begin. |
| 0:36.8 | I guess we could talk a little bit about, well, let's just talk a little bit about your life |
