I'm John Cadillac Seville from iHeart radio with my buddy Joyce Logan.
Hey, Joyce.
And speaking of buddies,
I mean, I've known this beautiful woman for the past 15 years.
I've had two beautiful women here, by the way.
And, I used to train her over the gym back in the day
over a Planet Fitness when I was a head trainer there.
And we got a chance to be really good friends.
And what really struck me so much about Linda's is she cares.
She got a heart of gold.
What she's done to inspire so many people over the years,
including, you know, with with what she's done with her son,
you know, with Gavin's house and, and she's she's the real deal.
And I'm just really proud to call her my friend.
I'd like to welcome Linda to Sarno, to what's good with John and Joyce.
Linda, so good to have you here.
Happy to meet you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because we're going to be talking, I mean, you know, in real estate.
Are you talking about real estate superstar?
Yeah. Oh, yeah, she is. She is awesome.
She cares about people. That's what.
Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Yep.
Thank you.
You know what I want to ask you about real estate.
Just saw that the very first house I bought.
I mean, I guess I was, like, 22 years old.
I was living in six years ago. Joyce.
Come on.
Oh, right.
And I was in a really bad neighborhood, and I really wanted to move to Brantford.
I wanted to get away.
So. And I had a real estate agent that was my bosses husband.
Okay. Very nice man.
He drove us everywhere.
Everywhere, everywhere.
And then one day I took a drive down a little cul de sac in Frankfurt,
and there was a sign on their lawn that said, like,
no agents, owners selling, you know, loss of life.
Right?
So I went and knocked on the door, and I fell in love and gave them an offer.
And I felt awful afterwards because that poor man worked so hard.
And then I trip upon this house, and and I always felt
bad, like for all the work that a lot of real estate agents do.
And then because you put a lot of time into that, what should I have done?
Well, it was so different back then to, I don't know, I, I back in
back in the day,
we always had to do a buyer agency agreement,
like a buyer, agreement with your, sign something.
If you do buy something, whether it's,
with another agent, with a seller for sale by owner, that you would get commission
if the seller wasn't offering it, your buyer would pay for that.
So if they didn't have that form, there really is nothing.
Nothing.
Yeah. I just kept apologizing.
Oh it's a good enough.
But it's not like you were going out of your way to, you know.
But nowadays we have a buyer agreement that.
Okay.
And were legally not even supposed to show another house,
someone else's brokerage without a signed by agreement with your client
and I really go ahead Joyce. Go ahead.
No, no, no, I was just wondering if you handle a lot of books
like For Sale by Owner only, or is that happening now, or is that.
I mean, they're it's it's not the best way to go for to sell your house, right.
You have a much smaller audience.
And these
you think you're saving on the commission, but you're probably excluding hundreds
if not thousands of buyers who would be seeing your house.
And exposing it to more buyers and getting multiple bids
and probably getting more
that you wouldn't you feel that commission that's true to deal with
anything is it's not just getting the house under contract.
It's working through inspections and
appraisals and all the other things that go with it.
So it's a lot to handle.
Like, I mean, before I became a realtor, I sold a few houses, but never on my own,
you know, when I, you know, became a realtor, I even had my mentor
help me because I felt like I needed, you know, and there's a lot of moving parts.
And, I mean, real estate people think you go out there, you're selling houses.
They don't realize all the different layers behind the scenes.
And quite frankly, as we all know, everybody knows a real estate person.
They're on every block.
There's a real estate.
And what why do you think you've been able to rise to the top?
So, so, so over the past several years because you're everywhere.
You've done very well, very much quicker than high.
I mean, I've had I had young kids says,
you know, I was like, when I was coming to see you.
I think right after that I got into real estate or I was like,
I think I was studying for my just about that time.
Yeah, you were, you were, you were practicing on me, selling me a home.
Right.
Like a preschool.
So maybe two and a half. Three.
But, yes, I, I just determination.
I mean, I just wasn't going to give up.
But I it took me a long time.
When I started, it was 2009 was the worst time.
Yes. Houses were going. Yeah.
I mean the houses were on the market for like 4 or 5, six months.
So it was a difficult time.
And then plus you know single mom and you know kids and it was hard.
It took a long time.
So I didn't rise that quickly several years for me.
But you loved it.
I did love it.
I mean, that's one thing I always say.
Like when people are like, oh, I'm so sorry to call you on a Sunday
or always because, you know, you know, it's Friday night,
you show me a house and I'm like, is this work?
What am I doing? I'm showing you, right?
I mean, your house, taking a tour like that, it's fun for me.
I mean, yes, it's stressful as most stressful job I've ever had in my life.
But it gave you the autonomy.
What, because you can have children just to. Yeah. Yeah, can.
I mean, so when they were,
you know, their dads on the weekend, I would just do the open house, and
then I'd get a baby sitter
at night, or my mom would come and help me in the early days, which is great.
So, yeah, I just did whatever I could.
And I knew that one day, you know, I had really,
inspiring peers like that I worked with that were not producers.
And I just, like, would walk through the hallways of Coldwell
Banker and see, like, their,
their names, like number one this month and and I and that gave me inspiration.
I was like, one day that's going to be me. I'm going to do that, you know?
So, I liked seeing that because I felt I think I can do that.
I just give it all.
I always thought that was the coolest job, because it's almost like, because
when you sell like a very expensive house, it's like winning the lottery.
But it could be then a long span until that happens again.
But it's like a throne to that.
Like, for me, the thrill is always when I'm
when I get a listing and I'm putting for them,
like putting it on the market, like putting it on MLS.
And I'm writing the description and like that to me is like that.
Mark, when you say putting it on MLS, was that mean, putting on the Multiple
Listing Service?
Okay.
We're going live. Right.
So go on Zillow everything. Yeah.
MLS and then it gets right put off to those third parties.
But that to me is the most exciting part, is the marketing part of it.
And then of course, like, you know, just seeing my clients
happy with the results is, is like very rewarding.
But there's a lot to it.
A lot of people think, oh, yeah, you get this,
you know, big sale and you've got this huge commission.
That commission has a lot of ways, it goes to the buyer's agent.
Yeah.
Your, your company and then all the advertising that you do
for the house and the gas and all the make sure you can work
with a buyer sometimes showing them 30, 40 houses before they buy one.
Right. That might be $300,000.
So it just I know it's, it's you just kind of
you have to just take it all in a big wave.
It's not like one transaction.
It's like the whole you really have to have an even keel.
You can't get too high or too low with this and just keep moving,
because I'm sure there's a lot of challenges as well.
You're dealing with all different kinds of personalities and yes, yeah.
And right,
like I have a boss, but then that boss, you know,
kind of like I get away for that boss after if I have a really different.
Right.
It's like, okay, well there'll be a closing and then
you'll be replaced by someone else.
Yeah, sure.
You have to be really good at math to pass. No.
Yeah.
And I was lucky I did pass it on the first try.
I don't I don't consider myself very, like, studious or anything like that.
I don't, I think I just got lucky, but, no, I, I,
I don't, I don't know, it's just you really don't have to be.
Okay. Have a calculator.
Your iPhone, you're good at what you do that you know, I don't know.
They don't like they the art.
My questions weren't really math, but do you have to keep taking the test?
Or you could opt to take the test instead of doing the continuing education.
But you have to do 12 hours of, continuing education every two years.
I say, okay, you get along with a lot of your fellow real estate people.
Yes. I, I don't think there's any.
Well maybe one very long time ago that
I worked with that was very difficult.
But yeah, I, I really like all of the agents
I work with and especially on the short line.
I know them all.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're they're hardworking agents.
Yes, I do care about their clients.
You know, I think real estate has this reputation for being,
I don't know, like, you know, like a lawyer or something.
Like, they just like this negative, like cutthroat or something.
Well, there aren't a lot for a real job, for sure.
I mean, but that doesn't mean that they're not good people, right?
Like, I, the realtors I work with.
And again, I'm just lucky.
Maybe because of this area, I get along with them really well.
Yeah. Respect each other. Like they want to work with me.
I, you know, I know which realtors I want to work with.
And, you know, as long as that realtor doesn't have an ego, that's that's it.
Yeah. What what causes
this?
When a listing comes up and you're working for, you know, an agency.
Yes. So your agency and everybody, everybody wants it, gets it.
It doesn't work that way.
You, the individual agent, get the listing.
So I mean, unless somebody is calling like Coldwell Banker, right?
And says, hey, I want to sell my house.
Whoever is on that floor call can take it.
Or they'll ask
the manager who they recommend, and that manager will give it to somebody.
I should say that specially for me, I'm advertising is word of mouth.
It's referrals.
So it's really it's me and going out and most
agents are going out and they are going on listing appointments.
And usually we are,
competing against a couple of other realtors with different agencies.
And then usually we know who they are.
We're going up to kind of the same, right, same area.
And Linda, you're very proactive.
I mean, you're out there
marketing yourself all the time, which is so key
because there's so much competition out there.
But you also have to have a lot of Teflon, too, don't you?
You really have to, because there's a lot of rejection.
Yeah.
And because it's sales, you know it's tough.
It is really tough. You do have to have a tough skin tonight.
And in the beginning, in the first like
I think I for like the first three years when I started getting like more,
busy,
when I would lose a listing, it was like, I would.
I couldn't sleep, right?
I mean, it would keep me up at night, you know, it wasn't just the money.
It was just like, what do I do wrong?
And that is one thing I have gone on.
I would say that, can you please tell me, like, you know,
wish you best, but just tell me, why didn't you choose me?
I'd always want to learn. Sure.
That you know.
And was I not aggressive enough to not follow up? Did I?
Did you not like my price?
You know what?
Just because I like to know, right?
Why did you choose me?
You know, it's all about self-development.
You want to know, and I think.
I think that's totally fair.
Yeah, I learn something every day.
So what's going on in the market now?
What would you say for people? Yeah.
You're selling well, I mean, I think it's funny
because it is definitely, low inventory.
So you still are getting a lot of money for your house, but you were, you know,
before Covid.
But you still, you have to have your house ready and put together.
You know, people are just going
to give you top dollar for a house that needs maybe a new roof.
You know, the tiles cracked and all the things, like, you want to
just get it as fast as you can, and if it's not in your,
if you can't do it financially, do what you can, you know, and put the,
the legwork in yourself, whether it's painting and things
that are just more sweat equity.
Yes, I know a lot of sellers
still think that they can get that top dollar
that, you know, maybe a year and a half to two years ago,
the market has softened a little bit.
But as long as it's priced right, they're going and going for over asking.
So it just depends.
It's just pricing, right?
Yes. Pricing high and not pricing low.
Just not fair.
Market value is really in my opinion.
And it's and it's good for the buyer and the seller at this.
Well, it's tough for buyers.
I mean that's why for a buyer it's really important to work with a buyer's agent.
Because a lot of them think that, you know, I'll just call the listing agent.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
And then sometimes the seller doesn't want to, you know, with
with you handling both sides or,
if you're working with an
agent who knows your area, they can talk to other agents
and see what they have coming on the market that maybe isn't right
and things like that.
It's really important to have your I think your reputation and
and again, think you're not going to steal a house in this market.
It's not those are not the days.
So, put in a, you know, just try to do the least
amount of contingencies, you know, if you're if you have a mortgage,
and you got to have financing and you want to have all the inspections
will then have a really low offer, right, right. Yeah.
Something's gotta give.
Because if it's a multiple bid situation,
you're likely to have someone who has cash or someone who's waiving inspections.
So I like to work with buyers and basically
kind of know what I'm up against and then give them
put their best foot forward, whatever that may be,
if it's not the highest price, but maybe it's the contingencies
that they have to like and, you know, it wasn't until Covid that
I never heard of people like, offering higher.
Yeah.
And and getting into bidding wars with supply and demand.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
I was a suspect.
A lot of people want to work with you specifically because of your reputation.
And they.
And they know the.
Hey, like, Linda gets things done because this has been hard
earned over the past 15, 16, 17 years.
And I'm sure that they, you know, you're and you've earned that.
You've earned that.
So I hope people know that I do like,
you know, as all realtors should do is put their clients interest first.
I love referrals and friends of friends
because, you know, I feel like they they already have a trust.
Yes. But, you know, knock on wood, I've never had a complaint filed
against me in 17 years.
I've never had any loss of nothing. Yeah.
That's great.
You such a litigious world that.
Yes, indeed.
For the amount of business I've done,
I've been fortunate to not have to have that happen.
Which, you know, again, if you do the right thing, you shouldn't have a problem.
And you've been doing the right thing to,
And speaking of that, the pay it forward thing,
look what you've been able to do with, in honor of your son,
tell us a little bit about what you've done with Gavin.
Very much, because you and I share something in common with,
but please tell us about your son and Gavin and friends.
Yeah. So, Gavin, is 21.
God, how did that happen? Wow,
I think I was, like, five or something.
Yeah, when we were working together for the gym.
So, he's 21.
He has autism. It's considered profound autism.
Even though we can speak, it's not really just want to functional.
It's just, you know, if you ask him, if he doesn't feel good,
he might be immobile.
I'll tell you where.
He just like the pound his head, you know, things like that.
So, you know, he would get into someone's car or walk across the street or a but,
you know, just things like that.
Yeah. So,
when,
before I became a realtor, you know, I, when I had him, he was my first.
So I really I knew something was not right with with my son.
Like, I just
love it was just not my.
You know, my sister had three kids.
I saw what normal development was.
And I just knew, you know, mom was gone.
I knew something was, so, fast forward to getting the diagnosis.
That's when obviously fear said, like, what are you going to do?
What's going to happen to him?
What happens if I pass away? Like, those will just.
You used to use it the same thing we were talking about that.
Yeah. Unfortunately, that's.
Yeah, yeah.
So, that, you know, happened,
many nights, and I just couldn't shake it.
Like, first off, I was very, you know, I went through all the stages,
you know, angry and. Yeah.
Why me?
And then when I became a realtor, I was started to think, like,
you know what?
The best thing I could do is try to find a home for him.
That one day, if something happens to me, he'll be able to live,
you know, and maybe with a couple of other participants or something. And,
have 24 hour care because he
won't be able to live independently.
So he needs 24 hour care,
you know, not 1 to 1 interact in the house like the rest.
So we can't drive or anything like that.
So, it started off like that.
Just me looking for a home.
And we're talking, like, 13, 14 years ago, like.
So I was looking for a house by the green.
Because I knew he'd never drive.
And I wanted to make sure that, you know, if I was even to live there with him
for a little while, whatever, he would have this house like an interest
and he'd stay there till his, till the end of his stay safe.
Right.
And stay in the town that, you know, very difficult to find.
That's what everyone loves.
Sure.
But, I think he's a 20, 20,
20, 20, or 21.
These two houses in Gilford, showed up on the market.
I was actually in my office,
and the agent told me about it, that she was working on it.
Just like two houses on one parcel.
And she said, you know, she told me the price of that.
I was like, I can't even afford one house, let alone two houses. Yeah.
And she was like, well, I just want to let you know
because I know what you want to do for Gavin.
So I didn't think much of it because I thought, I can't afford to.
Houses on the green, you know.
But then when it came out, the price was 740.
They need a lot of work.
They were one was like, you know, 1900 for almost 1910,
you know, he on the second floor, like, just really rough.
Yeah.
But I went and saw them and I thought, you know what?
I could do something with this.
Yeah, I didn't know what, but I thought, well, maybe
if he lives in this home, I could live in the next home.
You know, he can have 24 hour care.
I could live out in the other home.
There's a separate, separate.
But still I could watch over, see,
I started to get a little bit more excited about it. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. And I but I wasn't sure but I yeah.
And I, I know there was a popular property but it was a mixed use property.
Oh yeah.
So a lot of people were, you know, figuring out
what they could do business wise.
And and I was just like, you know what?
I'm not going to put any contingencies on it.
As a realtor, I was just like, I'm sure they'll just buy it.
So I ended up getting the house and,
it turns out one was a three bedroom.
One's a two bedroom.
And I wanted the two bedroom for Gavin's house because I thought,
you know, it's bigger,
but I couldn't do it because I needed a three bedroom for, like, a day situation.
When you, do a residential home with deeds.
Department of development.
This is what I wanted to do, was have a home where I owned
so that Gavin wouldn't be moved around.
I have friends with, sons who school children who are in residential homes.
And, you know, if the owner decides to sell the house or raise the rent,
then this home, this residential home has to,
have to move like that.
So sometimes it can be a little tough sometimes maybe in West Hartford.
And they and they like continuity.
They have familiarity. Continuity.
Yes I like yeah.
Yeah.
And those of you watching
Guilford Guilford, Connecticut, because we have people
all over the country and globally about that.
Our beautiful town of Guilford, Connecticut.
Yeah.
So so, so what I did was,
I bought the houses and not sure what I was going to do with two of them.
I was talking to my son's teachers,
and they were, you know, kind of going back and forth and like, oh,
we could do, like some sort of, like, maybe a consignment store at this.
Yeah.
Could, like, the special needs kids could work at the store and all these ideas,
but they were still finishing up their like,
you know, tenure in the school and they couldn't do it full time.
And I kind of needed to make rent on one of them.
So, that kind of fizzled out.
And so I thought, oh, I'll just try to rent the building.
So long story short,
no one was renting and Covid, no one needs a storefront during Covid.
And so then I decided to call Sarah Texas.
So, the Sarah Foundation,
they have, another part of it.
They do so much amazing work.
Huge, huge fan of Sarah Thomas's huge. Yeah.
So, and again, this was something, you know, discussing
with Gavin's teachers, like, what do we need here?
Like, what do we need for theirs?
What happens after they age out of the school system?
Guilford is like 22. Yeah.
There's nowhere for them to go.
There's no there's no day program.
There's no there's nothing.
So it's like your kid has lost like it's the high school
and then goes to a transition school, which my son is in right now.
Transition Academy.
And then after that, it just drops off, and then they're home with you.
Yeah.
And there's nothing going on.
So now Gavin can't be left home alone.
So what does that mean, you know? Yeah.
Who works 40 hours a week.
So I'm very fortunate.
So I can work because if she's sick, I'm home with him.
Yeah.
You know, he he needs to be looked after.
So, and I, I've seen I've seen
clients where I've gone to their house and they're eight years old
and they've got, there's, you know, 16 year old,
child with special needs living with them.
And it's an it's a very isolating life.
For. Yes.
Children, I call them children. They're adults.
But, you know, they can't drive, you know, so it's like in the parents aging.
So it's like they're not going out.
They're not, you know, do you have a babysitter come over and like,
you know, spend time playing a game with her son?
And, you know, we really needed something in this town and every town, really,
for this, population that it's just been forgotten.
It's just it's the amount now of, of autism, adults is just growing.
Yeah.
Staggering.
If there's not a you staggering.
I think they were never diagnosed before, but I don't think it's,
so much like the food in the air and all that.
I think there are always drinks.
Quote, strange kids in school
and things like that that were that were really on the spectrum.
Yeah. No. Yeah.
They didn't.
No, I don't think so.
I in my opinion I appreciate that.
But like you know, from one inch 10,000 to now, 1 in 31,
maybe if you just weren't diagnosed, you I mean, if you look at Rainman.
Oh, yeah, Dustin Hoffman and Tom cruise, and I was like, I never saw that that.
I mean, even my mom would say that this what we see now is nothing
like what we used to see before.
Covid wasn't like it wasn't a Gavin would be misdiagnosed.
You, me, Gavin for 30s.
You know, like he has autism.
So it's not like this
high functioning type of autism that I'm talking about where, you know.
Yeah, I know these are your family, you know?
Yeah.
You know, like, if some have said to Gavin, hey, come in my car, here's a train.
You go, you go right in.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, I think know to me, I just
it just don't, you know, you can't leave alone.
And that's on your mind every day. Everywhere you go, every day.
So that's really where this whole thing came about.
And then Gavin's house.
Yeah. Gavin and friends.
So basically,
I worked with Sarah, Texas,
and I renovated the building to the codes
and everything that it needs to, have that type of facility there.
So it is a day program for adults with disabilities.
So basically, you know, 18 enough I mean, there's
they can make exceptions, I'm sure.
How many people can you hold there?
I think there's between 15 to 17 participate participants at varying times,
you know, depending on what they need and what their budget allows,
because obviously it's either the state pays or the parents pay some somebody.
Sure.
So it is they are a nonprofit.
But, you know, there's these people who work there have to get paid.
So, there is an application process
and they decide who is a good fit for the program.
And the problem is, though, it's, it's, there's a waiting list.
You know, at this point now they're maxed out
and I would think there'd be a lot of people in waiting.
There's a lot of a lot.
Originally when I did this, I thought, oh, man, maybe this is my mission.
Maybe I'll just keep doing this and get another.
It's just too much work.
It's too much money.
Are you living in one of the homes? No.
So right now, Gavin and friends is is there?
And they say, Sarah, Texas runs the program.
Yeah.
And then the house next to it is currently under construction,
and that would be Gavin's future residential home.
And so he basically,
he'll live with me until that time is ready.
I don't know where it'll be, but for me, I, I want it done
because again, that's what happens if something happens to me.
I want it done.
And I don't care if it sits there and doesn't get used for five years,
I think maybe I'll move in there with him.
So he gets acclimated to the home and then I'll just live there
until the program set up where there's 24 hours care for him.
But he'll be right next door to Gavin and friends
and then, you know, when he'll go from the house
and go to Gavin and friends during the day and and Gavin friends.
The program is awesome.
I mean, people go on the Sarah, Texas website, or Sarah Foundation.
They can find, about it.
They also have a similar program in Westbrook called The Harbor.
Yes, I've heard of that.
Yeah.
And that's kind of what I modeled Gavin and friends after.
Like I they took me to that facility, and I was totally impressed.
Yeah.
For older, it's just like, yeah, it's for, Yeah.
Just with developmental disabilities.
It's a huge, huge.
How many of these actual facilities exist?
Well, in the Connecticut area, I'm sure there's more.
I just don't know.
I think there's one in Wallingford
and it's called the Park or something, which is a big one.
So maybe if you're watching right now wondering, what can we do?
And I get literally messages and every week somebody,
how do they get in touch with you? Linda.
So on Facebook they can go to my Facebook page.
And how do you spell your last name?
Oh, SCA and right, we'll have all that information up there.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
But I just
I just love what you do in the community
because it can't be easy because you're going out there
doing what you do with real estate, which demands so much of your time.
Yeah.
You're like Wonder Woman, you know.
Yeah. Wonder woman. Yeah. Same woman.
And she was awesome.
Excited. Get the races out there.
An updated version of Wonder Woman starring Linda Tucson on.
As long as I could do the voiceover work for the trailers, because it takes
just one person in your town and one person at someone else's channel.
The domino effect.
This can't be done.
I think, if there's one thing that I can,
I tell people because I go to these meetings and I meet
with older people and younger people, and I, I love to be a resource for
especially people with younger children because that's like the worst time.
You don't know what's happening with them.
But even the older generations that are like,
you know, worst rating like, and our kids still home.
Yeah, you can do it.
I mean, it's of course you need some money.
I mean, sure you can.
You can you you can have your own house become a few hours, you can call them.
And, you just have to work with the right company.
And Sarah, Texas is wonderful.
And they have a lot of use.
They have a lot of residential homes.
This is, you know, but for the day programs, that's, you know,
that's something that I don't know.
That's harder, I think, in the way you I don't know,
I don't know how I was able to do it.
I just I didn't know I could do it and I just it, it it
it's amazing what we can do when our back is up against the wall.
We have to do it.
So you're a great contact source for people
that might be watching and listening right now seeing what do I do?
Yeah, yeah, I stand for
the residential something you can.
Yeah.
But that's our trivia question for today.
Why do I know it's
the it's what deeds is calling my house that I'm going to buy for them.
And if it falls under that can. Yeah.
It's something residential.
I can't believe I is.
They're going to say that one that I can't believe.
Umbrella.
Sarah.
Well, it's just a, it's the deeds, like type of housing.
So there's two, there's a CRS and there's something else.
Not like a group home, but it's something like where you have a house and like,
whether it's parent owned or three participants
or the families get together, and then Sarah Titus or another nonprofit
that's licensed runs the program 24 Hour care.
Right? That's what they need.
Yeah.
Overnight sleeping or they, you know.
Yeah. Right. So,
yeah, but it has to be approved by DSM.
In my case, you go through the Ethics Commission and all.
Oh of course.
Yes. But yeah, that's different from the day program.
So but Linda, thank you so much for being a part
of what's good with John and Joyce. Now, where are you currently working?
I work at Coldwell Banker and, the Gilford office right as Gilford, Connecticut.
And do you travel outside of the area?
Primarily focus in this area? Okay.
That's fantastic, but we appreciate you.
I appreciate your friendship.
You know, all these years.
And, just appreciate all you do to help those who really, you know,
are sometimes forgotten.
And everybody wants to be seen. Yes. Right.
I think that's a great message.
So thank you so much for tuning in to What's Good with John. Enjoy.
