And their heart was like ripped. They were crying from the songs and they said,

Leeper, you left us. And if you bring back your pay us and you share it and everything,

you'll be back like regular and I didn't believe it and I you thought you were done

welcome back to another episode of inspiration for the nation and two years ago

when I started interviewing people,

there was someone on my top five list of,

I want to sit down and talk to him about his journey.

It was none other than Leipa Schmelzer. I was in touch with him. He said, come to my house in Muncie and at that time it was just very difficult to travel and do interviews, but I think I got a little more used to doing interviews and I'm like I will go to the places I need to go to in order to speak to the people I would love to speak to.

So I had the pleasure of sitting down with LIPA. LIPA is very interesting in so many ways. He's fascinating. He's

brilliant. You know you might you might think this episode is going to be about

hardships he was going through, whether it was family life or monetarily or just his career like he everything was going wrong and

he really found himself and and there's this story this idea of Chova and really, really tapping into who we really are and we all kind of in our own life have that journey, but Lippa's journey was, I guess on public display.

So at least for me to see that, I just from the outside, he has really given me Kizak and after sitting down with

him I think you're going to fall even more in love with Lippa. Without further ado, my episode with Lippa.

We can all use some inspiration to help us overcome the obstacles we encounter in our lives.

Get ready for thrilling conversations about struggle and triumph with those in pursuit of making a positive impact in this world.

I'm Yaku Langer and you're listening to Inspiration for the nation. Here I am in the lovely home of Leepa Schmelzer. I kind of feel very comfortable here. Is your home like an open house that everyone could just walk in?

Ah, not everybody can come in, but I would want to say that those who could come in feel at home.

I had lately came up with this line that the truth is we have to help all people. Everybody should help everybody.

But since we're limited in resources we can't, so we help those we can, those who are Shem's hands
