To me, mindfulness and perspective are the same thing; an awareness of where you stand in this vast world and universe. When you recognize the importance of family, friends, your own health and happiness, and the happiness of those around you, it brings a deep sense of calm. That awareness itself becomes a grounding and calming influence. Thoughts on Breathing I have a running coach who's a two-time marathon Olympian for Canada. Every time we're out there, we're talking about breathing. Not just the depth of the breathing, not just about the number of breaths you take, but breathing through your nose instead of your mouth, things like that. He talks about really in-depth things such as how much oxygen your body is taking in. It's such a complex and important thing. It is part of life just like eating. Resources Book: Beyond Elon: The Next Great EV and Living Past 200 by Jerry Kroll App: Jevitty.com Bullying Question I feel encouraged that in 2025, awareness around bullying has grown so much. Today, if bullying happens, there are enough people ready to step in and say, 'That’s not right.' It’s not the 1940s or 1950s anymore; we’ve evolved. People now recognize bullying for what it is, whether in everyday life or in high-profile political examples. The greatest power is identifying bullying clearly, and I believe nearly everyone can. Addressing it may take time, but resolution is inevitable.

0:18.6	That's one of the things. And yes, I know he's a trailblazer in the
0:22.8	area of electric vehicles. Car racing is one of his things. I'm really, really excited today to be here

0:57.0	and it's the chance to get in touch with my body push myself not to the limit but out of my
1:03.5	comfort zone and be be comfortable with being uncomfortable and there's something visceral about getting in touch with your body because we really
1:14.8	don't do that that often anymore.
