Shannon Putman: Yellow everybody.

00:00:01.759 --> 00:00:04.849
Welcome to the pop, as I like to call it.

00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:08.480
I have something incredibly exciting in store for you today.

00:00:08.899 --> 00:00:20.480
A woman that I could not be more proud to call a friend, Ms. Lynn Henderson, the CEO and co-founder of Certify Ed Lynn, welcome on into the Pop.

00:00:21.169 --> 00:00:22.249
Thank you, Shannon.

00:00:22.249 --> 00:00:24.259
I'm really excited to be here today.

00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.639
Well, it's an absolute honor and the joy is all on my end.

00:00:29.029 --> 00:00:34.309
So instead of me rambling on about Certify ed, why don't you go ahead and tell everybody what exactly that is?

00:00:35.089 --> 00:00:36.259
Well, certify

00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:39.739
Lynne Henderson: Ed is a CTE curriculum company.

00:00:39.979 --> 00:00:42.794
We develop our own courses and.

00:00:43.654 --> 00:00:51.874
With each of the courses, we have simulations so that the students can practice what they're learning in the course.

00:00:52.124 --> 00:01:04.464
Our course and simulations can be done on different types of devices, can be done on VR, headset laptop, desktop, or tablet.

00:01:05.613 --> 00:01:06.513
Shannon Putman: Fantastic.

00:01:06.573 --> 00:01:13.933
And that's already a very unique per point that you just made, that you are available on all different platforms.

00:01:14.023 --> 00:01:20.833
And I think that's critical because VR is not into education to the level that we're hoping.

00:01:21.283 --> 00:01:31.993
So are you finding that a lot of people are accessing the content in, you know, the standard 2D format, or do you see that more people are now starting to get invested in the VR as well?

00:01:32.938 --> 00:01:43.043
Lynne Henderson: Well, when we started the company seven years ago, the reason we did it across all the devices was because there, you know, VR wasn't as popular in education.

00:01:43.823 --> 00:01:50.423
We're starting to see more schools wanting the students to do it on the headsets.

00:01:50.773 --> 00:01:55.903
They are purchasing maybe five or 10 headsets.

00:01:56.263 --> 00:01:56.983
They're not.

00:01:57.848 --> 00:02:08.048
Getting enough for the entire class to have it, but it is becoming, each year I see it becoming more and more popular.

00:02:08.048 --> 00:02:13.748
So I think eventually it will be where there's a headset for every student in the school.

00:02:14.948 --> 00:02:15.458
Shannon Putman: Yay.

00:02:15.458 --> 00:02:26.168
From your lips, because I've been saying that for a while too, and I'm sure people are absolutely sick of hearing me saying it, but to hear from somebody else definitely helps to support my cause, so thank you.

00:02:26.938 --> 00:02:28.258
You were not paid to say that?

00:02:28.633 --> 00:02:29.353
Lynne Henderson: No I wasn't.

00:02:31.508 --> 00:02:31.778
Shannon Putman: Phew.

00:02:32.468 --> 00:02:46.366
So, one of the things too that I love about Certify Ed is that you are one of the few companies if only that I have worked with that actually goes the full steps through the process and offers credentialing.

00:02:46.666 --> 00:02:50.326
So can you tell me a little bit about you, you know, what you guys actually do with that?

00:02:50.851 --> 00:02:51.091
Lynne Henderson: Yeah.

00:02:51.091 --> 00:03:07.551
When we are developing the courses, we're looking at the industry standards the national standards, and we're looking at the certification, what's required of the certification.

00:03:07.881 --> 00:03:16.581
We align our courses to, NTI is one of the big national organizations, N-O-T-N-O-C-T-I.

00:03:17.131 --> 00:03:28.881
In our culinary arts usually students take ServSafe and the drone course is aligned to the FAA unmanned pilot's license.

00:03:30.051 --> 00:03:41.781
So the students, well, a lot of VR companies or that have simulations, they don't have the course with the vr, they just have the VR.

00:03:42.681 --> 00:03:49.031
Or they just specialize in one field, let's say medical or you know, STEM or something like that.

00:03:49.511 --> 00:03:53.674
With certify ed, We have different types of courses.

00:03:53.674 --> 00:04:11.114
We have 23 courses currently, and it, they're in the trades, plumbing, electrical, you know, medical biotech, as I said, drones, carpentry, electrical, and the student can get the entire course.

00:04:11.234 --> 00:04:17.624
And then after the course is finished, then they're prepared to take the certification exams.

00:04:18.398 --> 00:04:33.158
Shannon Putman: That's absolutely fantastic because the whole point of all of this learning, no matter what type it is to prepare our students for life after school, whether that be service, whether that's college, right into the workforce.

00:04:33.578 --> 00:04:40.358
And you guys actually have a program that takes them all the way through to being prepared,

00:04:41.258 --> 00:04:41.798
Lynne Henderson: correct.

00:04:42.381 --> 00:04:43.521
Shannon Putman: That's absolutely wonderful.

00:04:43.551 --> 00:04:55.641
And like I said, I haven't seen much of anything else that has taken the time to align to all those standards and everything, because that's typically one of the first things the teacher will ask me, well, what standards does it align to?

00:04:55.641 --> 00:05:00.631
And I'm like you know, especially being new in the CTE field I was like, I don't know.

00:05:00.631 --> 00:05:02.551
And with Certify Ed, I'm like, Nope.

00:05:02.551 --> 00:05:02.851
Boom.

00:05:02.881 --> 00:05:07.981
I can rattle 'em off right away because you guys have taken the work to do what is necessary.

00:05:08.211 --> 00:05:10.671
To give it legitimacy to your programs?

00:05:11.301 --> 00:05:11.901
Lynne Henderson: Yes.

00:05:11.961 --> 00:05:12.411
Yes.

00:05:12.831 --> 00:05:26.151
We want the courses to meet the standards, but more importantly, we want the courses to be engaging for the students and for them to get something out of it.

00:05:26.391 --> 00:05:35.061
And then at the end, if they decide to do the certification, that's gonna help them when they graduate and go out into the workforce.

00:05:35.799 --> 00:05:36.939
Shannon Putman: Absolutely wonderful.

00:05:37.509 --> 00:05:40.979
And that's kind of some of the best we can hope to do for our students.

00:05:42.119 --> 00:05:42.629
Yes.

00:05:42.749 --> 00:05:43.019
Lynne Henderson: Yeah.

00:05:43.799 --> 00:05:47.939
Shannon Putman: And so, you know, we've been talking about the, this, you know, credentialing and everything.

00:05:47.939 --> 00:05:56.269
Are there certain areas that you are seeing you know, or certain courses maybe, that are more popular or any kind of trends in the workforce demands right now?

00:05:56.679 --> 00:06:08.982
Lynne Henderson: Well, I'll tell you the courses that are very popular that we have with the students, and that is the culinary arts.

00:06:09.432 --> 00:06:16.872
any of the trades, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and animal science and vet science.

00:06:17.622 --> 00:06:19.522
Those numbers are high.

00:06:19.622 --> 00:06:25.622
And then criminal justice is a popular course too with students.

00:06:25.962 --> 00:06:33.422
I think that the job force, you know, it's always changing and you always have to be.

00:06:33.812 --> 00:06:37.082
Changing with whatever the trends are.

00:06:37.412 --> 00:06:41.972
And technical and digital skills are very important now.

00:06:42.262 --> 00:06:44.032
We have a digital media.

00:06:44.062 --> 00:06:47.662
We are working on a cybersecurity course.

00:06:48.112 --> 00:06:57.442
And then the trades and hands-on skills like welding, culinary arts, animal science, those are very popular also now.

00:06:58.477 --> 00:07:10.147
And when we're deciding on courses, what our next courses will be, I really like to talk with people to find out what they see out there.

00:07:10.147 --> 00:07:14.847
And you know, one of the partners we work with there in St.

00:07:14.847 --> 00:07:29.107
Lucia and she was sending me a text saying, They're saying that the electrical cars and being able to work on the charging stations and all is very popular.

00:07:29.317 --> 00:07:30.937
Can you do a course on that?

00:07:31.597 --> 00:07:37.407
So we're, we've put that on our list and eventually we'll be developing a course for that.

00:07:38.239 --> 00:07:40.459
Shannon Putman: That's incredibly interesting.

00:07:40.459 --> 00:07:45.109
It's smart too, of course, obviously to listen to your customers and see where the demand is.

00:07:45.109 --> 00:07:49.849
But as you mentioned, everything is always changing, you know, in, in the world.

00:07:49.849 --> 00:07:55.199
And one of the things that I did hear a lot from educators when I was out.

00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:08.409
The different schools asking was not just the charging stations but the auto mechanic professors were asking a lot about electric engines 'cause they can't get one to even practice on.

00:08:08.799 --> 00:08:09.039
Lynne Henderson: Yeah.

00:08:09.099 --> 00:08:17.559
So we're going to try to be developing a course on all of that, the electric engine and also the charging stations.

00:08:18.499 --> 00:08:21.649
Shannon Putman: I will absolutely have some people that will be ready for that.

00:08:21.649 --> 00:08:24.619
So don't for forget me when that comes out.

00:08:24.889 --> 00:08:25.909
Oh, I definitely will

00:08:25.909 --> 00:08:27.139
Lynne Henderson: never forget you, Shannon.

00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:28.849
Shannon Putman: Aw, well thank you.

00:08:28.909 --> 00:08:29.809
Right back at you.

00:08:30.309 --> 00:08:33.409
It would, I would be remiss if I didn't ask the standard question.

00:08:33.409 --> 00:08:40.594
I feel like we all have to ask about it now, but, you know, AI being the big buzz word and everything like that you know, you guys are.

00:08:40.739 --> 00:08:44.309
Because I think a lot of people try to force AI into things when it's not needed to.

00:08:44.339 --> 00:08:48.039
So, you know, how is AI affecting what you guys do at Certify Ed?

00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:49.349
Or are you using it?

00:08:49.349 --> 00:08:50.129
Are you not?

00:08:51.064 --> 00:08:51.634
Well,

00:08:51.634 --> 00:08:55.894
Lynne Henderson: you know, we use it in our everyday work.

00:08:56.164 --> 00:08:59.254
We haven't put it in our courses yet.

00:08:59.914 --> 00:09:04.354
We've gone back and forth about whether to do that.

00:09:04.664 --> 00:09:08.984
And it's not because we don't think it's useful because.

00:09:09.764 --> 00:09:16.064
The student being able to have a tutor right there with them is very valuable.

00:09:16.124 --> 00:09:25.494
And the AI being able to recognize what the student is weak in and being able to bring them up to standards, it's great.

00:09:25.824 --> 00:09:32.994
We're just trying to figure out, you know, how we do this and, or the best way.

00:09:33.044 --> 00:09:34.934
And a lot of it is because.

00:09:35.219 --> 00:09:44.809
The technology, you know, is changing so much, you just want to keep up with it and be able to give the best service to your clients.

00:09:45.699 --> 00:09:47.349
Shannon Putman: Yeah, absolutely.

00:09:47.349 --> 00:10:00.749
And, you know, you've designed your programs, your courses are all incredibly well thought out and designed so that, you know, on I love what you said about potential recognizing, you know, patterns and then tutoring and things like that.

00:10:00.749 --> 00:10:07.409
But the way you go through assessments and everything in your program, it doesn't really necessitate the need for it.

00:10:07.599 --> 00:10:09.609
But I also love that.

00:10:10.779 --> 00:10:22.539
You have done the work to use this as a preparation and a supportive learning experience as opposed to a replacement of any educator,

00:10:23.019 --> 00:10:23.259
Lynne Henderson: right?

00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:31.329
Shannon Putman: how do you guys really ensure when you're talking to teachers that, Hey, look, you know, we're not telling you put them on this, and then you never do anything again.

00:10:31.329 --> 00:10:35.589
How do you make it a part of the instruction as opposed to just a standoff?

00:10:36.204 --> 00:10:37.674
Thing they do in isolation?

00:10:38.004 --> 00:10:38.274
Lynne Henderson: Yeah.

00:10:38.484 --> 00:10:54.504
Well we have our courses, they're used with online schools that do not have a teacher, like in the, they go to a classroom and they have a teacher there, and then we have it in the brick and mortar when, where they do.

00:10:54.924 --> 00:10:59.324
So we always talk with this teacher about the flexibility.

00:11:00.149 --> 00:11:13.379
That they can use our course as a standalone, or they can insert things into the course that they want the students to do or they can have projects.

00:11:13.949 --> 00:11:19.709
And then the way we have our courses set up, it's learn, apply and create.

00:11:20.189 --> 00:11:26.339
And the create is where the student is given two assignments and they have to.

00:11:26.849 --> 00:11:29.609
Show competency in those two areas.

00:11:29.969 --> 00:11:40.519
And they can do that by teaching others, you know, they could do a presentation in front of the class or they could do a PowerPoint.

00:11:40.549 --> 00:11:45.869
They can use their cell phone to record themselves doing the task.

00:11:46.469 --> 00:11:48.269
And the teacher.

00:11:49.439 --> 00:11:50.639
Has to grade that.

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.609
So that makes the teacher become involved in it.

00:11:53.939 --> 00:12:07.339
And we have about 20 schools that with the culinary arts they have the students actually cook the omelets and everything in the classroom.

00:12:07.849 --> 00:12:12.074
So, and then afterwards everybody eats the omelet.

00:12:12.554 --> 00:12:20.254
So you know, the students Can practice it in the virtual reality and then actually get the hands-on experience.

00:12:20.434 --> 00:12:32.944
So one thing with our courses, it's, they're very flexible and they can be used in different, you know, like I said, as a standalone or it things can be added to them.

00:12:33.950 --> 00:12:35.030
Shannon Putman: I cannot.

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.900
Express how wonderful that is and how unique of a feature that is.

00:12:41.900 --> 00:12:50.960
Because a lot of the software that I see and the programs that I've experienced don't go to that full level of.

00:12:51.980 --> 00:12:54.200
Of now you've mastered it.

00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:59.030
Show me different ways how you've mastered it and teaching others is, I think one of the best ways.

00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:09.110
So congratulations on that because that is absolutely unique and I think a game changer when educators are looking at what programs to purchase.

00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:09.650
Lynne Henderson: Right?

00:13:09.680 --> 00:13:09.950
Yeah.

00:13:10.130 --> 00:13:17.360
When we developed the courses, we did a lot of research on what was the best way for students to learn and.

00:13:18.095 --> 00:13:22.865
Students now love to go to YouTube to learn how to do everything.

00:13:23.435 --> 00:13:28.605
So the short videos all our videos are usually.

00:13:29.490 --> 00:13:31.530
Four to six minutes.

00:13:31.530 --> 00:13:37.680
We do have some that go up to eight, 10 minutes, but most of them are short.

00:13:37.950 --> 00:13:42.290
It keeps the student's attention and that's the learn category.

00:13:42.890 --> 00:13:47.270
And then the apply are the simulations.

00:13:47.510 --> 00:13:53.630
And it's been proven that when a student can actually do a project.

00:13:54.260 --> 00:13:56.510
Then they retain better.

00:13:56.570 --> 00:14:04.460
And then finally the create where they are actually teaching others that helps the retention rate.

00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:08.990
So we used all of those aspects to put in the course.

00:14:10.425 --> 00:14:19.195
Shannon Putman: refer to that as like a trifecta of terrific ness because it's really has all three aspects that we're striving to get.

00:14:19.195 --> 00:14:25.445
And I also love too that it allows not only the educator but the student to still employ their creativity.

00:14:26.490 --> 00:14:29.765
So you have 'em create, but you don't tell them what to create.

00:14:30.575 --> 00:14:31.535
Lynne Henderson: Right, right.

00:14:31.535 --> 00:14:34.415
And I've gotta tell you this 'cause I thought it was funny.

00:14:34.715 --> 00:14:42.395
On one of our creates, it was for the culinary arts, they were supposed to show how to do a omelet.

00:14:43.265 --> 00:14:54.005
And one of the teachers sent me the video that the student had done and the students started from going out to the chicken coop and getting the egg.

00:14:54.725 --> 00:14:55.565
From the chicken.

00:14:55.835 --> 00:14:57.875
It's amazing going all the way through.

00:14:57.935 --> 00:14:59.315
But I thought that was funny.

00:15:00.485 --> 00:15:02.405
Shannon Putman: That is absolutely amazing.

00:15:02.585 --> 00:15:03.785
See, I would've never thought of that.

00:15:03.815 --> 00:15:08.435
and that student did, so I mean, I mentioned how much fun they probably had with it too.

00:15:08.695 --> 00:15:08.875
Lynne Henderson: Yeah.

00:15:08.875 --> 00:15:13.705
I told the teacher they should definitely get an A just for their creativity.

00:15:14.545 --> 00:15:15.115
Shannon Putman: Yes.

00:15:15.215 --> 00:15:18.005
And I think that's so missing nowadays in education.

00:15:18.065 --> 00:15:29.530
You know, 'cause everything is so standards based in core content and test scores and I think we're losing that creativity that, you know, makes learning fun, right?

00:15:29.920 --> 00:15:30.370
Lynne Henderson: Yes.

00:15:30.370 --> 00:15:30.430
I.

00:15:30.910 --> 00:15:44.340
Shannon Putman: I was even saying that the other day that I'm, what I miss, you know, I don't miss everything about being in the classroom, but my creative outlet, since I don't like Pinterest or any of that kinda stuff, is, you know, understanding how kids learn and then, you know, making the content accessible.

00:15:44.790 --> 00:15:53.190
So that's what I found fun and creative and I've been, I think missing that and that joy that comes with it, because.

00:15:54.350 --> 00:16:00.440
On this end of, you know, the spectrum of education, sometimes it's not as much of the fun stuff,

00:16:00.770 --> 00:16:01.280
Lynne Henderson: right?

00:16:01.400 --> 00:16:01.760
Yeah.

00:16:02.955 --> 00:16:04.695
Shannon Putman: So this has been wonderful.

00:16:04.695 --> 00:16:09.165
We're, I have absolutely enjoyed every minute of it.

00:16:09.165 --> 00:16:10.795
And you're not quite done yet.

00:16:10.795 --> 00:16:26.225
I just have a kind of few wrapping up questions before the closing countdown, but you know, how is it that you ensure that you work with companies and things like that, and that people understand how important the credentialing system is.

00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:41.900
Lynne Henderson: Well, again, when we design our courses, we look at the industry standards, and also when we design our course, we try to find a expert in the field.

00:16:42.650 --> 00:16:50.060
So like if we're developing a welding course, I don't know that much about welding, you know?

00:16:50.330 --> 00:16:53.780
So we have an expert in the field who is.

00:16:54.500 --> 00:17:06.480
Looking at what we're writing, they look at the simulations and tell us, Hey, yep this is right, or No, you need to change this.

00:17:06.980 --> 00:17:14.540
And we also try to align to certifications that are nationally recognized.

00:17:14.855 --> 00:17:22.435
That's very important that you want a certification that is recognized, you know, by employers and by the school.

00:17:23.554 --> 00:17:23.794
Shannon Putman: Absolutely.

00:17:24.405 --> 00:17:32.085
Yeah, those, like you said, those national standards so they can be prepared for wherever, you know, it might take them to get a job.

00:17:32.115 --> 00:17:43.935
'cause you know, I've seen a lot through Kentucky that there just aren't jobs and people are having to leave, you know, their home communities to be able to find work.

00:17:43.935 --> 00:17:47.115
And so it's important that they'll be prepared no matter where they go.

00:17:47.535 --> 00:17:48.015
Lynne Henderson: Right.

00:17:49.470 --> 00:17:50.430
Shannon Putman: Well, wonderful.

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.860
Like I said, Lynn, this has been fantastic.

00:17:52.860 --> 00:17:58.485
I need to get some more synonyms to explain how much fun I have with these and talking with you in general.

00:17:58.485 --> 00:18:11.945
And for the audience that doesn't know, Lynn has been amazing and rescheduled like 19 times with me because, my former student, Joe and his team from Bowling Green made the state net the state championship for basketball.

00:18:11.945 --> 00:18:16.625
So she was not only supportive of me, but of the bowling Green purple.

00:18:16.625 --> 00:18:17.525
So thank you for that.

00:18:18.065 --> 00:18:18.905
Lynne Henderson: You're welcome.

00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:30.830
Shannon Putman: Is there anything you know, so I know obviously I'm putting links in with the podcast and people can always reach out to Putman Consulting you know, especially part of our product bundles or individually to get certified ed.

00:18:30.830 --> 00:18:36.650
But is there any information you wanna share with them if they wanna get more where they should go or anything like that?

00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.020
Lynne Henderson: Yeah, they can call eight.

00:18:40.065 --> 00:18:54.065
9 7 0 1 3 9 3 or they could go to our website, certify ed.com and fill out a request for information.

00:18:54.305 --> 00:18:59.405
And I think the best way to learn about our courses is to set up a demo.

00:18:59.465 --> 00:19:05.265
Let us show you what the courses looked like and what all the all of the components entail.

00:19:06.075 --> 00:19:06.705
Shannon Putman: Perfect.

00:19:06.795 --> 00:19:15.295
And I love that you're willing to show a demo so people can actually experience it and you know, that we know that makes the difference.

00:19:15.505 --> 00:19:15.745
Yes.

00:19:15.745 --> 00:19:16.975
And also props.

00:19:16.975 --> 00:19:20.725
You're the first person that has given a phone number, so yes.

00:19:20.725 --> 00:19:21.475
Thank you.

00:19:22.015 --> 00:19:22.795
You're welcome.

00:19:22.885 --> 00:19:30.505
Everybody else has just been given websites and I appreciate that you actually have a phone number that people can call.

00:19:30.925 --> 00:19:32.665
Yeah, I love phone numbers.

00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.110
Yes, exactly.

00:19:35.110 --> 00:19:39.700
My grandma used to say she was not gonna have one of those dot coms, and that's what she referred to.

00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:43.300
Anything that had anything to do with the computer, so right.

00:19:45.123 --> 00:19:47.343
Okay, well closing countdown.

00:19:47.343 --> 00:19:48.363
You cannot escape it.

00:19:48.363 --> 00:19:49.353
It's my favorite.

00:19:49.353 --> 00:19:50.853
It's the audience's favorite.

00:19:50.853 --> 00:19:51.723
It's everybody's favorite.

00:19:51.723 --> 00:19:52.953
I don't know, I'm just guessing.

00:19:52.953 --> 00:20:00.583
But to get to know a little bit more about Lynn, what if you had three things to you could do outside of work?

00:20:00.583 --> 00:20:03.253
Absolutely no work related.

00:20:03.613 --> 00:20:04.693
What would you do?

00:20:05.803 --> 00:20:19.173
Lynne Henderson: Well, I have a brand new great nephew who will be one at the end of this month, and I love seeing him playing with him.

00:20:19.413 --> 00:20:26.823
He loves to be outside and we have, you know, call it a, the one of the can ams.

00:20:26.853 --> 00:20:29.013
He loves to ride around in it.

00:20:29.283 --> 00:20:29.733
I love to.

00:20:30.063 --> 00:20:31.893
Take him for rides and that.

00:20:31.893 --> 00:20:35.793
So anything with Travis is fun.

00:20:36.123 --> 00:20:44.843
And then this last year I've started two new I guess you'd say hobbies and one is pickleball.

00:20:46.163 --> 00:20:53.393
I never played, I played tennis but never tried pickleball, and I started playing pickleball and I love it.

00:20:53.933 --> 00:21:00.378
So I've been playing in a couple of leagues and I really enjoy that.

00:21:01.038 --> 00:21:14.538
And then for my birthday last year, I'd always said that when I retired I was gonna get me a potter's wheel and my, he said, you know, most people.

00:21:14.913 --> 00:21:20.673
Say they're traveling, they're doing whatever when they retire, not you say, I'm getting a potter's will.

00:21:21.213 --> 00:21:30.728
And so, my nephew and my niece they gave me a certificate to take a five week pottery course.

00:21:32.048 --> 00:21:36.188
And I went to that and I loved it.

00:21:36.248 --> 00:21:39.548
And so I've continued to take that.

00:21:39.548 --> 00:21:49.263
So on every Monday evenings, I'm either on the wheel or I actually found out I like to hand sculpt too.

00:21:49.833 --> 00:21:53.903
So, I'm letting my artistic side out.

00:21:54.803 --> 00:21:57.573
So those are the three things I like to do.

00:21:58.563 --> 00:22:00.273
How Absolutely

00:22:00.273 --> 00:22:03.333
Shannon Putman: fascinating as a fellow Pickle Baller.

00:22:03.333 --> 00:22:04.143
I agree.

00:22:04.143 --> 00:22:05.313
It's a nice outlet.

00:22:05.313 --> 00:22:12.493
And then also how wonderful with the great nephew, but with the pottery, that was completely unexpected.

00:22:12.553 --> 00:22:16.393
And I do have to ask, do you watch the show, the Great Pottery Throw down?

00:22:16.773 --> 00:22:17.063
Yes.

00:22:17.153 --> 00:22:18.053
Oh my gosh.

00:22:18.053 --> 00:22:18.503
We love it.

00:22:19.703 --> 00:22:20.183
Yes.

00:22:20.243 --> 00:22:20.663
Yeah.

00:22:20.723 --> 00:22:20.933
Yeah.

00:22:20.933 --> 00:22:41.487
Lynne Henderson: And I'm actually going now, since I like it so much, I'm going to build myself a little studio to put a, the wheel in and all, you know, all that stuff I'm, ' cause it gets little old trying to bring out all your stuff and do it and then try putting it all back up.

00:22:41.487 --> 00:22:41.757
So.

00:22:42.597 --> 00:22:45.807
I'm going to build a pottery studio.

00:22:46.677 --> 00:22:49.677
Shannon Putman: How wonderful, how exciting.

00:22:49.677 --> 00:22:55.607
I, when you said, you know, from the wheel, I only knew because of the great pottery throw on the language you're talking.

00:22:55.607 --> 00:22:57.467
So, so shout out to that show.

00:22:57.467 --> 00:23:07.267
If we got any listeners and and to you and I fully expect some sort of, you know, once you get going, I would love to to peruse your collection and purchase a thing or two.

00:23:07.267 --> 00:23:09.787
So, well, you wouldn't have to purchase Shannon.

00:23:09.787 --> 00:23:10.057
Aw.

00:23:10.147 --> 00:23:12.367
Lynne Henderson: Just tell me what you would like.

00:23:12.772 --> 00:23:15.922
And I'll, and I would try to do it for you.

00:23:15.952 --> 00:23:16.852
It won't be perfect.

00:23:16.852 --> 00:23:17.152
Thank you.

00:23:17.267 --> 00:23:18.172
I promise you that.

00:23:18.172 --> 00:23:19.582
'cause I'm just starting.

00:23:20.452 --> 00:23:21.772
Shannon Putman: I love imperfect.

00:23:21.772 --> 00:23:23.392
I think it makes it even more special.

00:23:23.392 --> 00:23:29.322
So I'm a big fan of tea, so if you make a teacup or anything of any design, it doesn't have to be, I.

00:23:29.872 --> 00:23:32.522
Your classic teacup, you can pick the design of it.

00:23:32.912 --> 00:23:33.422
Lynne Henderson: Okay.

00:23:33.632 --> 00:23:34.772
Shannon Putman: That sounds perfect.

00:23:34.982 --> 00:23:35.462
Alright.

00:23:35.462 --> 00:23:36.662
See, look at this.

00:23:36.662 --> 00:23:41.142
Not only did I get an awesome conversation with an amazing person, I'm getting a teacup outta of this.

00:23:41.512 --> 00:23:43.522
An original Yes.

00:23:43.642 --> 00:23:43.822
Oh.

00:23:43.872 --> 00:23:45.675
I'm gonna hold onto it too for really big.

00:23:46.545 --> 00:23:48.135
Well, again, Lynn, thank you so much.

00:23:48.135 --> 00:23:49.755
This has been absolutely wonderful.

00:23:49.835 --> 00:23:59.600
You know, I feel like I've been saying a lot, so people aren't going to believe me or think it's disingenuous, but everybody that I've been having on the pop and everything I truly consider friends.

00:23:59.600 --> 00:24:04.760
And you've been supportive of me and my journey from the very beginning since we met at that conference.

00:24:04.760 --> 00:24:07.010
So, I want to thank you from a professional.

00:24:07.335 --> 00:24:11.315
A personal level and I just love what you're doing in any way I can support it.

00:24:11.315 --> 00:24:13.445
And thank you for always being so supportive of me.

00:24:13.445 --> 00:24:17.120
And I cherish you and I'm excited for what's to come.

00:24:17.870 --> 00:24:26.390
Lynne Henderson: Well, thank you very much for being my friend and a coworker and for inviting me to be on this.

00:24:26.450 --> 00:24:28.820
I really enjoyed our conversation.

00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:29.930
Shannon Putman: Yay.

00:24:30.290 --> 00:24:31.400
Well, thank you so much.
