| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to iWay with Jimmy Lijamel, a podcast that is determined to murder all of your shame. |
| 0:07.1 | I hope you're all right. I know that the news cycle is just too much to bear. I don't have all |
| 0:14.0 | of the right words, but what I do have is at least part of a solution and when it comes to |
| 0:20.4 | the war that we are seeing break out over in Ukraine, I can remind you about the organization |
| 0:29.1 | that we've spoken about a few times on this podcast that helps support refugees. They are called |
| 0:34.4 | Choose Love. Now I've had the founder of Choose Love on this broadcast before her name is |
| 0:39.9 | Josie Norton. The episode is absolutely extraordinary. She is extraordinary and if you are wondering |
| 0:45.7 | about where to put your money right now and how to help and you want to learn more about any |

| 0:56.0 | where every single penny of your money goes and what the organization does specifically because |

| 1:19.5 | are funding ambulances that pull women and children and people out of the rubble of their fallen houses. |
| 1:25.7 | So they are called Choose Love. You can find them online and if you need any more information about |
| 1:32.5 | them, it's all in the podcast episode or also on their Instagram at Choose Love. Now on this |
| 1:38.4 | podcast, I try to always bring you as much information as I can and hopefully also entertainment |
| 1:43.2 | and I'm so lucky that I'm able to access some of the great thinkers of our time and today's guest |
| 1:51.0 | is truly the epitome of that. He's one of my favourite people. I was so too scared to ask him even |
| 1:58.2 | on this podcast a few years because I assumed he must surely think I'm a fucking idiot and a piece |
| 2:04.0 | of shit because he's so smart and I feel so so stupid next to him. But when you're actually with |
| 2:10.7 | him and talking to him, he doesn't make you feel stupid. He makes you feel like it's exciting |
