Hey guys and welcome to episode 124 of the Ocede stories

dot-com podcast.

And this episode is very special to me for several reasons.

One, because it's based on a weekend that I've found,

very life changing, which was the OCD camp which was only a week ago.

I've put sort of a year of prep and research and living with uncertainty into that weekend and to see it come to life was really meaningful for me and has changed my life in

ways I never expected.

So I got on, but this episode is also special I should say because I got

on several of the campus to share their experience for a few reasons. One, it's an advert for next year so when I open applications later

on in 2018, people who are unsure about the camp, if they want to find out it's for them, they

can absolutely listen to this episode.

Secondly I believe there was going to be a lot of learnings from the campers and

when I was doing these interviews that that came true they shared a lot of great advice that I feel

uh... is going to be useful for you guys

and thirdly because i've talked about the camp over the last twelve months i wanted to do this

is kind of a wrap up just to give you guys some closure and

some behind the scenes and what it was like and and what elements you can take

into everyday life and use. So I got six of the campers on to talk about their experience and I asked

them a few key questions around kind of what was their highlight, you know, what was it

compared to what they expected, what did did they learn would they do it again and then the fun question at the end

is what would you tell you 20 year old self so it's great to hear their answers to that and some of the key things that came up was

that was shared by several of the campers was this idea of not feeling alone.
