Mitch Carson
Welcome to the Amazing Authorities Podcast, where game changers, visionaries, and category leaders share how they built their brands, platforms, and global influence. Your host is Mitch Carson, international speaker, media strategist, and creator of the Instant Authority system. If you're ready to learn from those who've done it and want to become the go to expert in your space, you're in the right place.
- [00:31]
Lisa Anderson is here today, and I'm so excited to have her for multiple reasons. One, the topic you're going to find incredibly interesting, and two, we've had to tick a few boxes to get this interview to happen because we had some scheduling conflicts. I had an assistant that left and we're here. And it's been worth. It will be worth the wait because Lisa is going to share her dating expertise. Not only is she a dating expert, she wrote the book on it. Lisa, welcome to the show.
- [01:04]
Lisa Anderson
Hey, it is great to be here, Mitch.
- [01:06]
Mitch Carson
Yeah. And the title of the show is the Amazing Authorities Podcast. And you are an authority because you literally have written the book. Let's see your book. Tell us about it.
- [01:15]
Lisa Anderson
I did write the book. This is funny because I. In my everyday life, I work a lot with younger generations, millennials and Gen Z, and they're always looking for advice, you know, for their love lives. And, I mean, there are a number of things I talk about, but this is definitely one of them. And really, I wrote this book, Mitch, because I feel like I had talked it about seven or 800 times in various contexts, and finally people were like, hey, you got to write a book. Well, the problem is I wrote a book. I think I'm the only person who. For whom the advice in my book did not work personally. So I am. I am still single. So really what I'm an expert in is generally in dating poorly. But I feel like during the course of my dating experience, I gained a lot of wisdom and figured out that I was a train wreck. I was just making disastrous choices. I was dating a bunch of losers. I had friends stage interventions for me. All of the above. And finally coming out of that, the other side and realizing I actually got some great things in my tool belt. I got healthier in the process and all of that to say now I'm kind of in a position in life where I'm not. I'm certainly still open to dating and open to marriage, but I'm not going to go clamoring after it like I used to. And in a series of, you know, trying to complete myself or be something.
- [02:42]
Mitch Carson
That I'm not Well, give me an example. What are some of the lessons learned? I mean we're. You've gone through what you've gone through. And what would you advise somebody that's recently out of a divorce? I'm divorced. I'm part of this statistic in America. I think it's 60% divorce rate. What do you give for somebody who hasn't been out there and to then to start dating again?
- [03:08]
Lisa Anderson
I think probably the, the number one thing I would think or I would advise this person is to say you need to decide what your values are like, what your non negotiables are. Too many people approach dating and especially now in a digital world where the whole world is literally open to us. People are going out, just trying to randomly meet people either in real life or online without knowing what would be a good match for them. And I'm not talking about take an assessment that tells you what lip gloss flavor you are or whatever, what powder puff girl you are. But I'm talking about true values that center around priorities. There may be some faith elements, there may be priorities around family and children, family of origin stuff. Some of your mess that you might be bringing into a relationship. You have to narrow that down to probably your top five non negotiables and go from there. And then Mitch, I would say second would be to get a team around you. It used to be in cultures and sometimes still reflected now like great examples example would be the Indian culture or the Jewish culture where your entire family, your community dated this person. But now we've gone into this isolated mode of I'm going to just swipe an app and I'm going to look for people and I don't know, you know, I tell this to all of my audience. My goodness. When I'm a, I'm a highly rational person. And when I started dating, I basically lost my mind because I started getting interested in a guy and then all of a sudden all common sense goes out the window. I think he's amazing. My friends are like timeout, there might be some red flags. And I'm like, no, you don't know him. Like I know him. And I'm making all these excuses ridiculous. I mean, so I think you got to get a team around you who's going to put some objectivity on your relationship and really on the people that you're even level one filtering out. And I say, in fact, I say this in the dating manifesto. Probably one of the most controversial things I say is you get three people on this team, you can Have a bigger team. And it should be pretty varied. You know, older people, younger people, married couples, people you know and trust and who know you. And then from that you say you're going to pick three of these people who really have their heads on straight. They love you, they are wise, they are discerning and they are truth tellers. And you tell them if all three of you agree that the person I'm dating is a loser, I'm going to cut it off, no questions asked. So you're putting authority, you're putting some, some really, some authority and decision making in their hands on your behalf. And that's a tricky space to be in. But sometimes we need that.
- [05:57]
Mitch Carson
Well, you know, it's interesting, two words come to mind. Well, actually one word and then two different topics. What is objectivity? Because what you were describing is how do you keep an objective mind to looking at somebody? For example, for me, a deal breaker would be a smoker. There's just no way I'm gonna kiss an ashtray. Not in this lifetime, not in the past one or in a future one. It's just not gonna happen. Or if someone was mean or was a just a mean spirited person, since I don't have any time for that in my life, no matter how good looking or any of the physical attraction is, those are deal breakers today. But we also go through stages. And the second thing you described perfectly, and I'm putting a business context on this is a mastermind. And in, I've run masterminds, I've been part of masterminds. And you ask the respected members of your mastermind to give you feedback, which is also objective, hopefully and somewhat partial because they may love you and are out there for your best interest and we may have blinders on. Does that make sense?
- [07:06]
Lisa Anderson
It's so true.
- [07:07]
Mitch Carson
Yeah.
- [07:07]
Lisa Anderson
You know, and it's funny because we all act like we're open to feedback, but when it comes down to practicality around that very few of us are willing to humble ourselves enough to really take that feedback unless we are practiced in it or we have made enough mistakes or have gone after the real, you know, the capital that we need, the intellectual capital and emotional capital to know what that is. In fact, I wrote an article that I titled I want honest feedback, but not really.
- [07:37]
Mitch Carson
And in it I love that I.
- [07:39]
Lisa Anderson
Talk about a group of my friends and these are some of my best friends and a fellow friend and I. We decided, hey, we would get together pretty regularly and we said, hey, how about we start going through this thing where each of us takes a turn on the hot seat and the rest of us give you feedback about just things, areas where you could grow. Because we're thinking to ourselves, like, wouldn't you want to know? Like, the last thing I want is someone talking about me behind my back and saying Lisa should really change that about herself or she really needs to get a clue here. And so we offered this to our friend group. And again, Mitch, I'm not talking about acquaintances. I'm talking about this is like probably my, this is like my second level of friendship. Okay. I've known these women a long time. And two a one, they all said hard pass, we're not in for that. And it's like, you know, and it's, we had more conversation around it and some of them came around and all that. But it's just this idea of we think that we're so open to feedback. But the offense, the minute, you know, someone steps in and it's like, man, this is all for our growth. And the more that you are open to feedback and you are willing to act on it, the more you're going to mature, the more you're going to grow, the more you're going to be wise in a bunch of well rounded areas, not just your own areas, area of expertise.
- [08:57]
Mitch Carson
So we're, we're Americans. We have an American indoctrination and culture. My eyes widened. I've traveled to 63 countries in my career as a business person and speaker. I spent a lot of time, believe it or not, in the, in, in Pakistan and it just happened to work out that way in that culture and in the Indian culture. Pakistan and India, they were all was one country at one time. They are big into arranged marriages and their divorce rate is the inverse of American divorce rates. It's very rare to experience that. Tell me what your thoughts are on.
- [09:37]
Lisa Anderson
Yeah, I mean, obviously there's proof in the pudding for that and somehow it works. I think what they're doing right is they are saying, we're going to keep our eyes open as, as open as we can on the front end and again, utilize that network of people who know you love you, have their heads on straight. But then there's also an element, Mitch, of after the fact. Once you get married, what does it look like to not put the blinders on but to realize that you've made a choice? And you know, I'm pretty skeptical of this idea of the one. I think too many people are out there chasing this illusion that's Hollywood isn't It, yeah, the one like you're supposed to, you know, because then I'm like, what about people who were widowed and they remarried? Like they, sorry, they have to now choose plan B and take the second fiddle person.
- [10:25]
Mitch Carson
Because the other two.
- [10:27]
Lisa Anderson
Right. So I'm just like, this idea, the one is pretty bogus. What I think is you make a great choice on the front end and you pick someone who is high quality, who has integrity, who's growing, who's pursuing wholeness in all areas of their life, and then you focus on that person and together, as you're both going after individual growth, you're able to grow together. And so this idea, I'm not a big fan and I tell this to young adults and this is maybe countercultural, but I say, you know, it's not. No one wants to hitch their wagon to someone who always is looking around for a better option. You want the opportunity to grow in who you are, to grow in your relationship, to have, you know, you're going to have ups and downs, you're going to have struggles, we all do. But there's nothing heroic, there's nothing mature, there's nothing sexy about. I'm just going to go with this person until they irritate me or I get bored of them and then I'm going to move on. That's childish behavior. That's not adulthood.
- [11:30]
Mitch Carson
How important is religion, slash faith to be shared? For example, I know that you're a practicing Christian. Would you date a Buddhist or a Muslim?
- [11:42]
Lisa Anderson
I. I wouldn't, Mitch. And that is primarily because for a practicing Christian, and I would say this, of any major religion, they're gonna probably have a tenet that says this is kind of what it's about and you kind of have to be this. So for me, it's like, as a practicing Christian, I want a person not only who shares my faith and my values for the purpose of just walking along the same path and being able to. And of course, this plays very heavily into, you know, folks who are going to have kids and how are we going to raise our kids and what's that going to look like and stuff, big issue. But honestly, I literally believe the Bible is true, Mitch. And because I believe that, I believe that I would want to marry someone who also believes that Bible is actually true. Because that's going to play into how we live our life, how we live out this marriage, and ultimately how we walk into what we believe is eternity with God. And that's a value that probably is. That's paramount for me. So it's just my non negotiable.
- [12:52]
Mitch Carson
Well, that makes sense. Like, and I chatted before we began. A non negotiable for me is I'm never dating a smoker. I don't care if it's Miss America, albeit Miss Universe. No chance. Well, Miss America, Miss Universe be too young for me anyway. You get my point. Get my point.
- [13:09]
Lisa Anderson
Not everyone would say that, Mitch, so.
- [13:11]
Mitch Carson
Yeah, well, everybody's. Yeah, it is what it is. That's another topic.
- [13:15]
Lisa Anderson
Leonardo DiCaprio would disagree.
- [13:19]
Mitch Carson
But they're legal. I mean, that's just.
- [13:21]
Lisa Anderson
There you go.
- [13:21]
Mitch Carson
Preference whether it's age appropriate. That's another discussion. And. And I spent some time in Pakistan because I was writing a book on one of the religious leaders of the country which never came to fruition for an interesting reason. But I was over there and experienced something. I read the Holy Quran cover to cover while I was there. I'm a speed reader and I was curious. I cannot judge a religion or a people unless I experience it. A learned person reads himself or herself and is informed before you express an opinion. And I found in that text or religious document striking similarities to the King James Version Bible, which I've also read being raised Christian myself. More similarities than dissimilarities. Yet if you don't believe according to their way, we're infidels. It's interesting. And it, you know, what do you say about Christians who then say, if you don't believe our way, you're not going to heaven?
- [14:32]
Lisa Anderson
Sure. Yeah. And I ultimately think it comes down to who we pick or who we say is God and what he says about himself. So because I believe the God of the Bible and specifically Jesus Christ as he's revealed himself, I have to take. I think we too often set it up as these religious adherents versus these religious adherents. And the only thing we can agree on about all of us is, is that we're imperfect. We don't have a full picture, we don't know what we're talking about. I just yelled at a family member earlier today. So clearly I'm not perfect. So, I mean, I have no authority to set myself up as, like, I know all the things, but I truly do believe that the God of the Bible has revealed himself in creation, in his word, all of that. And again, I have friends of all faith, so I'm not going to say, you know, let me decide for you, but I always ask them, hey, check this out. See what God has said about himself. I think there's a supernatural component to it. As well, in that I truly believe that God intersects with our lives and shows us his truth again, reveals Himself. And for those who are humble and willing and open to receive that, to understand that, I think, you know, Bible promises that anyone who seeks me will find me if he seeks me with all his heart. And so I'm not here to say like, okay, I'm going to prove all the ways that XYZ religion is incorrect. I mean, I would probably argue that there are some proofs for Christianity, for sure. But that said, I think it's more a matter of let God be God, let God speak for himself. I have a background in public relations, and I always say the one person who doesn't need PR is God. He can pretty much speak for himself. He can do his own campaign. He doesn't need me yammering on about all the things. But I truly want to. As I walk out my faith and as I look to him, I'm just saying, man, if I believe the Bible's true, then what does that mean for me? What does that mean for the way that I frame the world? And that's kind of how I have to walk forward.
- [16:49]
Mitch Carson
Well, see, your faith is really your core, is what you're saying.
- [16:53]
Lisa Anderson
Absolutely. I think it's absolutely transformative. So. So again, rather than me just saying I'm going to. I'm going to take. I'm going to pick God. God sounds convincing enough. So I'm just going to, you know, take this little piece of what the Bible says, or this piece. I truly believe that I was given a new heart by God himself that allows me with right eyes, to see God. And as a result, Mike, that transformative experience, you know, the. The Bible says if anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation, literally. I believe that was a transformative experience that now allows me to live rightly with new eyes and experience him in a great way.
- [17:37]
Mitch Carson
What are you doing today? You've. You've got a. Tell us a little bit about your background and how are you helping people today, because I think you're all about your mission.
- [17:47]
Lisa Anderson
I am. And it's neat because I've been able to for the past. I feel like I started out, Mitch, trying to craft this amazing career for myself and figuring out all the things. And I'd originally planned on going to Yale, and I made it through the interview process and all this stuff. I kind of got knocked on my butt when I didn't. They wanted me to retake my SATs because my math score wasn't High enough, you know, here I am, a young late teen and I'm freaking out and what, what am I going to do for college? All that to say, I got into the world of communications journalism in particular, started doing some writing, transitioned into pr, and then while I was leading the PR team for a large nonprofit, I started hosting this show called the Boundless Show. And it was really the team that was running Boundless at the time that came to me, and it was a show that they wanted to start for young adults. And, you know, you and I obviously have talked a little bit about podcasting. This was Mitch, January of 2008. There weren't many people podcasting this.
- [18:57]
Mitch Carson
A podcast show. Just to clarify, was it a radio show or a podcast show?
- [19:00]
Lisa Anderson
It was. It started as a podcast, and then about five years later we added radio and we got syndicated on about 250, 60 stations.
- [19:09]
Mitch Carson
That's a big deal. Was that through iHeart? Something like, was it iHeartradio?
- [19:13]
Lisa Anderson
Just through. Actually through a number of different places. Some Christian radio networks work, some faith based, you know, elements, all of that, all the things. So a few international radio stations, but primarily us. So with that, I think the team came to me because they knew it was for young. They wanted to do it for young adults. And of course, most 20 and 30 somethings, I actually was a young adult at the time. Most 20 and 30 somethings are single. They're trying to figure out all these big life decisions in a very, you know, trouble, transition, heavy era of their lives. So what does that look like for dating and relationships and possibly marriage? What does that look like for picking your education, for picking your career, all of that. So these guys were running it, came to me and they said, lisa, you're single, you like to talk, you're willing to kind of share all your stuff and just how, how you're feeling generally. That's me editorializing. That's how I interpreted it. And they said, why don't you host this show? And I did. And that has been 17 years now of hosting the Boundless show. It's still active, so still, in fact, it's funny you asked because we just did our last show last week, Mitch. So Boundless just got finished. My organization that I work for decided to discontinue this portion of what they do and focus on some other stuff. And so I have been doing it forever and I might continue podcasting in another format. But I'm in like a very pivotal moment in my own career of figuring out what is next. And so this Show. I mean, honestly, it. Not only the show, but then two years later, I moved over and took on this entire nonprofit ministry called Boundless within my organization. And our goal is to help young adults grow up, kind of own their faith, date with purpose, prepare for marriage and family if that's what they're meant to do. We take a look at the culture, we help them put reasonable eyes on that for living maturely in the face of what's going on, just building great healthy habits that will ultimately make them adults and not just kids who can't decide for themselves, who can't take ownership of their own actions and responsibilities. So that's been a huge privilege because, man, I get, I get to see firsthand. I mean, I have like, for example, now that the show has been ending, we have a guest book and we have like 200 plus entries on that now with, with young adults who have said, like, man, Lisa, because of this show I left an abusive relationship, or because of this show, I learned how to do a budget, or I learned how to have a conversation with my parents as an adult instead of just using them, you know, for cash or for a place to stay or whatever. So it's been really rewarding.
- [22:15]
Mitch Carson
Have you thought about writing a compilation book of all these guests or the ones that would love to participate? I mean, to share the people, learn and grow through stories. And I think you've got all those stories. And it's, it's. To me, the immediate thought was anthology, compilation, maybe volumes. Because if you've got 200 plus people, that speaks to a lot of learning and helping. If I look at it in the context of helping people learn through.
- [22:44]
Lisa Anderson
Well, and even, even as I think of, you know, obviously my main audience is going to be the younger adult. And so we've created a community for them because so many young adults feel kind of disenfranchised, you know, whether in, in the church or elsewhere in the, in their communities, even in their own families. But another sub audience that has been really fun is like parents and grandparents of young adults because they'll listen to the show and say, I need to figure out what my 20something is thinking. Because we're like, we have a generational gap, and I love talking about generations. We have this gap. And I don't know, I don't know how to relate to them, or I feel we're drifting apart, or I feel. And so they'll write in there, like, I listen to your podcast every week on my walk or on my way to pickleball. And so it's all these boomers and others who are just excited to get to know their younger adults in their lives a little bit better.
- [23:38]
Mitch Carson
You know, a lot of people watch my shorts even more than the podcast, they want these snippets of information. So how people consume information has changed over time. I mean, it went from newspapers to now we're bombarded with data. It's now tick tock information. I think they're reading a book because TikTok talked about it. And how important was it for you to write a book?
- [24:07]
Lisa Anderson
I, I think it was extremely helpful because what writing a book did for me, in addition to getting all my swirling thoughts and experiences on paper and to have the ability to say, oh, I have this in a book, instead of retelling the same tales and stuff over and over again. I think the other thing that was cool about it is it opened up a world of speaking opportunities, of the opportunity to coach, to mentor. I've done so much mentorship of younger adults and just kind of helping them get their heads on straight, helping them, like I said, grow up and mature and, and not stay in adolescence or whatnot. So I think that's been really great. And of course, I'm sure all of your guests say this. There's a level of credibility to it to be able to say, not only did I incorporate my own stories, but I was able to bring in a lot of what I've learned elsewhere, including talking to a lot of folks who've made marriage go the distance and saying, hey, what did this look like for you? And, and none of it can be, you know, there are so many 20 somethings, Mitch, who come to me and they're like, Lisa, just give me the formula. Tell me the A plus B equals C. What do I need to do to do this right? And I say there's no formula, unfortunately, you know, for the, for the Christian young adults, you know, we've talked about faith. I have to tell them, you can't crack open your Bible and turn to the book of first and second dating, you know, and get all the formulaic answers. But there are so many great principles and it starts with getting healthy yourself. It starts with looking outside of yourself. It starts with being about something other than that desperate rom com person who's just going to be chasing after the next, you know, whether it's the next relationship or just chasing after sex, chasing after whatever. I think that's what's, what's been most important to put in that book.
- [26:03]
Mitch Carson
I can't imagine you not having a show. You're a great communicator. You're very clear how I. I was a journalist in a past life in a communications undergrad. I spot a great communicator in year one. What is the next show? If you would have to pick one. Coming up now that this sunsetted recently, what's your next ambition? Because I know you've had these thoughts.
- [26:28]
Lisa Anderson
I have had these thoughts. And what's fun is. So the show that I've been doing for so long has been like a magazine format. So three separate segments. It's been pretty formalized in that the. The first segment has been a roundtable basically where I facilitate a conversation among young adults. And that's kind of the peer to peer thing. The second segment was what I called the culture and that was me interviewing an expert kind of similar to. To your vibe kind of get. Putting it out there as far as who is someone we can learn from. And then we would do an inbox segment where an expert would just answer a listener question. So getting out of that construct, I can see myself now doing something that's just much more conversational, much more relational and quite frankly, Mitch. And I'm just going to be honest here. I have so many hot takes on so many things. I just want. Even when I talk to people about consulting. I had a friend who said, oh Lisa, you should get your master's in counseling and go in, you know, be a therapist or. Because you're just so. You care about people and stuff. And I said, here's why I can't do that. Because I want to tell someone to do something and then they turn around and do it. Therapists have to work with people who just want to talk and talk and talk and not really take any advice. So consultancy and just giving. I love, I love looking at the culture, looking at life, looking at relationships and being able to parse that out and make commentary on it and have fun in the process. Process and just make people feel seen and like they're part of a conversation. That, that for me is a blast.
- [28:06]
Mitch Carson
I would see you more versus a therapist, more of a life coach to a group of people. And scaling it's one to many versus one to one which could be an exclusive and I'm thinking business right away. But I think it's a, a deal of maybe a small group where you take through the journey. And that's what I would see for somebody like you've got so much experience and passion for your purpose. Maybe an overused term but you've got passion for your purpose. And the purpose is helping these young people navigate the dating and relationship way that is expected of them.
- [28:42]
Lisa Anderson
Yeah, maybe I'll pop into the corporate world and talk about, like what not to do dating at work. No, just kidding. That would be crazy. No, but what actually what I have done some of, and this is really fun because the opportunity is there, is taking my generational expertise and going into again, the corporate world, whether nonprofits or churches, corporations, business settings, and saying, man, y', all, you're trying to work as teams, but you have boomers who are working alongside Gen Z. You have Gen Xers who are supervising millennials. How do you understand the unique values and the unique strengths of each generation and maybe some of the pitfalls there? And how do you collab so that everyone feels heard? Everyone is working out of their strengths. Like, you know, corporate folks. If you're not using the digital know how of Gen Z, I mean, they are winning with AI right now. They are able, they're pulling stuff together that is an amazing level of being able to use a digital experience in technology. But they don't necessarily have the EQ necessary to make the right relational calls. There may be, you know, showing up. I tell my younger employees, I say, you know, if you're going to work with boomers and you're going to win with boomers, you need to not show up in the office looking like trash. You need to learn how to put sentences together and actually capitalize them and have good grammar and write an email that says sounds professional and stop saying bruh every fourth word. So stuff like that is just, I think there's a lot of value for that and to do it again in a way that is fun and relatable and gives everyone their moment in the sun.
- [30:31]
Mitch Carson
Yeah, I don't know how you feel. I'm, I'm a baby boomer. So when I get somebody who's 20 something calling me bruh, I'm offended. I immediately correct them and swat their nose, say, no, I'm not your brother. I'm old enough to be potentially your grandfather. Don't call me bruh.
- [30:47]
Lisa Anderson
Right.
- [30:47]
Mitch Carson
I'm not. And I'm not your dude either, and.
- [30:50]
Lisa Anderson
Exactly. And I think where that plays out especially, and where you see it, where it can be even more problematic in a, in a work setting, is they want to level the playing field to the point where they're going to show up. You know, they may be interning in your company and they're going to pass by the CEO and try to fist bump him and act like their opinions and their decision making is on an equal level as him. So they believe that they have a seat at the table where they should be able to contribute at the same level. Now, we're all going to do a collective eye roll when we hear that, but the thing is, they can be. They can be coached out of that. They can, you know, if. If they have someone, an older, more seasoned employee come alongside them and give them some reasons for why that's not going to play well, we can give them other alternative ways of bringing their strengths to the table and recognizing that. Yeah, a little bit of humility, a little bit of teachability, a little bit of just do the things that are necessary. Because sometimes you're going to have to just eat, you know, eat your words, eat whatever. Make that happen. And then. And then when you have an opportunity to shine, you will be able to do that.

So.

So I love mentoring younger adults and younger employees in that way.

I like the fist bump idea of just a hey, bra. No, I'm not your bra. I can't even imagine doing that. For example, to my uncle, who was a World War II veteran, and of that mindset of total respect. No way. He'd be gosh, aghast at the generation today. I just think of him being this astute Harvard graduate looking at what? Yeah, no, hard work. Hard work. You earn your keep. You don't get there because you expect it and you're entitled, dude.

Now, I will say, Mitch, though, that I say that again. My millennial, my Gen Z employees are going to be the ones who are like, hey, Lisa, can I just go out on this hiking trail and maybe catch up on this later? Or do all the. Or I, you know, stubbed my toes, so I need a mental health day or whatever. So they're going to say that. But they are also, Mitch, to their credit, they're the ones. They're the ones that I can text or teams at 10:30pm with some kind of deliverable I need, and they're going to show up and they're going to do it. Okay, My boomers have already checked out. They're already streaming something on Netflix, and they're just like, no, I worked eight to five and that's what I need and all that. So. So there are pros and cons. And so again, it's that. It's that coaching them into what they need to know to succeed here and then maximizing the strengths that they do have.

Lisa, how do people get in touch with you. What's the best way to communicate since you're a communicator?
- [33:53]
Lisa Anderson
Absolutely. Well, honestly, if people want to find me currently or what I've done and what I'm doing kind of sunsetting right now is@boundless.org if people just straight up want to reach out to me and shoot me an email, that's at Lisa Anderson speaks Gmail. And I'm an S o N Anderson, 100% Swedish. So Lisa Anderson speaks at Gmail and then I'm also on all the socials at Lisa Anderson. So.

Mitch Carson
Yeah, well, that's great. You've been an outstanding guest. Thank you so much for your time and good luck with your millennials. You seem to have mastered them or at least managed to work with them and it's been a challenge for me, but I'll have to listen to more of your coaches to understand how to deal with that generation because I'm confused. But so much value today. Thank you so much for your time.
