Hello my beautiful friends and welcome to the icons podcast. Today I'm here with Alex as always. Hi Alex. Hey, it's good to be here.

And we are going to chat about the current situation that we're all in.

Kind of going deeper into what's going on in the world. Our personal thoughts and vision of the future.

If you want to kind of go inside of our minds and see how we see this whole thing unfolding in the next couple of years.

We just really believe it will be great to chat with you as friends.

You know a lot of us are physically isolated or physically distanced at the moment.

And I really don't like the term social distance. We're still being very social.

Exactly. So we still want to be social if you would be physically distanced.

But in the way imagine if we would be here, you know, chatting all together by the fire, having some tea.

What kind of conversations will we have? And so same conversations that I mean, you know, I have.

And we thought it would be really great for a lot of you share because many of us are getting our sources from all sources.

Things trying to really make sense of this whole situation.

And we just want to share with you how we are, as you know, myself and Mimi are making sense of the situation.

And also how are we living in the present and also how are we preparing for the future.

So we're really excited to be able to have this conversation, to be able to also kind of be real with you, but also uplift you and see how you can be better prepared and positioned for the world that we're living in and entering at the moment.

So that's something that we just want to kind of catch up with you. But wherever you are in the world, which one of the century love and make sure that you're feeling loved and that we want you to know that we care.

And this is why we're doing this podcast on this evening just to connect with you.

It has now been almost five weeks. I can't even believe it that we're basically. I've been operating 99% from the house except for occasional grocery shopping and occasional walks around the house where we're staying.

And it's an interesting time. I feel like every day we go through this little phase where, you know, I wake up and I'm like, oh, like it's still happening.

This is not a dream. We're still in lockdown. I still can't go see any of my friends. I still can't just like just go out and like be free in a way like talk to other human beings, like get close to people, especially for somebody like myself.

This is a crisis for extroverts all around the world. Absolutely. Not just extroverts, but I'm also very much like my love language is physical touch as you know, I love people, you know, one of my dreams ever is to go around the world hugging people like, you know, this I share this before.

I love strangers. I love people. And here I am even on that occasional, you know, grocery shopping run. I have to like stay two meters away from every human I come across and it's so awkward. It's so weird. All I want to do is just hug people, you know, tell them it's all okay.
