Ever wondered how global events like a pandemic can reignite old flames and spark new beginnings? Let us take you on a journey through the heartwarming story of Morgan, a dedicated veterinarian, and her childhood friend turned partner, a geophysicist. They share the fascinating parallels between their professions while uncovering how unexpected circumstances during COVID-19 rekindled their romance. Listen as they reveal the unique dynamics of a "COVID Ship" relationship and draw intriguing connections between medical imaging and geophysics.

Feelings of vulnerability can often be seen as weaknesses, but what if they were actually strengths? Through candid discussions, we challenge societal expectations of strength, particularly for men, and explore how embracing vulnerability can fortify relationships. Morgan and her partner bring humor and honesty to the table as they share personal anecdotes about overcoming injuries and fluid gender roles, illustrating how partners can complement each other by defying traditional norms. This episode underscores the importance of communication, understanding, and support in crafting resilient partnerships.

In a world where remote work is on the rise, have you ever considered the impact on our lives and work culture? We spotlight the transition from traditional work models to results-oriented environments, the perks of reduced commutes, and increased flexibility. However, the episode doesn't shy away from discussing the geographical hurdles of commuting in Texas and the essential role of in-person interactions. We round off with a celebration of Dr. Morgan's achievements and encourage our audience to engage with us through likes, subscriptions, and insightful questions, paving the way for future enlightening conversations.

Speaker 2:

Welcome back to another episode of Two Generations, one Mic, and today we have a couple of interesting guests. And since we are talking about relationships, today's episode is called COVID Ship. For you that you don't know, covid Ship is like the relationships that nurtured during COVID.

Speaker 3:

So we met this couple, very interestingly enough, at a restaurant and we started talking to them and you may recognize Morgan here she is Dr Morgan and she is a veterinarian and her boyfriend here. They both went to Texas A&M and I recognized the rings right away because I paid for Texas A&M for my daughter.

Speaker 2:

Lucky Tiffany.

Speaker 3:

Lucky her with no college debt. So I always recognized those rings and we were very excited talking to you guys. We thought you have an interesting story and you met during that time. So you are a doctor of veterinary medicine and you have an engineering degree geophysics, geophysics degree. So what, exactly? What is that degree called?

Speaker 4:

so geophysics falls underneath, like the science of geology. Um, geophysics is more. Think about geophysics in the way that we use medical imaging to understand what's going on in our bodies in a non-invasive way, which you probably relate to with ultrasounds. But geophysics, you're using physical means to see what's going on underneath the earth's surface without drilling holes or digging. It's useful primarily in oil and gas, water, excavation, minerals.

Speaker 2:

So kind of like LiDAR and things like that, like all the kind of like.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, so LiDAR would be. Lidar would still be above the surface, things like ground-penetrating radar or GPR If you like, ancient aliens as a show.

Speaker 3:

Oh, we love that show.

Speaker 4:

So to find some of those lost, hidden civilizations? Ground-penetrating radar, they use geophysicists all the time to find those locations Right.

Speaker 3:

And Graham Hancock is another one of our. We're huge fans of Graham Hancock and watching his stuff. We've seen him on Rogan and we've seen him on a bunch of things and we just he's fascinating. And they keep finding more and more amazing structures down in Latin America that they're finding with that kind of radar. So it's really fascinating.

Speaker 2:

That's a fun. That's really fun. I didn't think that was geophysicists. I didn't. I don't know what I thought they were.

Speaker 3:

I don't know what I thought.

Speaker 2:

they were Just people running radars. I didn't think about, oh, geophysics.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, there's a lot of applications to it. It's a cool field of study for sure.

Speaker 3:

It's cool. So how long you guys been together, we've been together for four years yeah our anniversary was yesterday actually.

Speaker 1:

Oh wow, Anniversary, Thank you.

Speaker 3:

And you met. Tell us the story. So this you met during.

Speaker 1:

No, they met before.

Speaker 3:

Oh, before COVID yeah.

Speaker 1:

So we actually have known each other since we were 11. We grew up like going to the same schools and things, Swim team, Swim team together, those sort of things. So we've known each other, been friends for a really long time and kind of were friends through college and everything. And then I kind of like lost touch. And then during COVID I was off of school for vet school. I couldn't do anything that summer. Usually I would be doing a research project or a study abroad or something like that. But with COVID I couldn't do anything. And so I came back to my parents' house and he was in town at his parents and so we were like, you know, he reached back out and was like, hey, you know, let's go get dinner and then kind of, the rest is history from there.

Speaker 4:

So yeah, we, uh. So we first met up. We went to go get like a simple dinner and I was like man, it's just going to be great catching up with her. And then that dinner turned into us going to a wine bar and getting dessert, and then I think we got like a cocktail or something like we, we, spent like like like uh, what was supposed to, what I thought was going to be like an hour and a half dinner turned into like we hung out for like six hours straight or something.

Speaker 2:

It was incredible. Yeah, did you guys like, did you guys always liked each other?

Speaker 4:

or it was like oh, definitely, yeah, I went.

Speaker 1:

I'm speaking for myself, absolutely, I mean, I guess we technically we dated for a little bit like in high school, but you know how much you can count that.

Speaker 4:

I don't know um, but yeah, so, um, no, we definitely like, had liked each other before that, but, um, covid was really like the reason that we, you know, actually started dating and, you know, going well I mean because, well, one of the like things that I still wouldn't be like, fascinated by is you weren't supposed to be in Cyprus during the summer. You're supposed to be in by is.

Speaker 1:

You weren't supposed to be in Cyprus during the summer, you're supposed to be in Italy For, well, I was supposed to be in Italy for spring break but I wasn't supposed to be in Cyprus because I was supposed to be doing my research stuff, which was like in Colceiton and other places. So, yeah, like, if COVID wouldn't have happened, like we may not be together because we, you know, wouldn't have been in the same town, I would have been off doing my other stuff. Who knows who I would have met, you know, going abroad and doing all those sort of things. And so, yeah, you just, you never know what's going to happen.

Speaker 3:

It's truly amazing how much, on both sides, covid affected the world.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And both on the sad side and also on the happy side and what it caused for the entire world and how things changed. And your story is not unique.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I have an interesting fact you know I love interesting facts, so doing some research and so all the people that started dating during COVID time, they have broken up this year and a lot of these people are like these couples. The men is the one that are being dumped by the women and I really think, like I always say, relationships are very complicated and when we started all this process of confinement and everything, I just think everybody felt vulnerable and I just think that somebody thought they've maybe like their uh emotional support person kind of saying right and I, but with you guys I don't see that because you guys knew each other before then.

Speaker 2:

It was just like COVID was the catalyst for us. Yes, it was the serendipity that got you guys together and that it was meant to be. I always say all the things happen for a reason. Good or bad, they happen for a reason. And then when you remember them, they're like, oh, thank God, because I'm pretty sure you were sad that you were not going somewhere.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, absolutely, I was pretty sure you were sad that you were not going somewhere. Yeah, absolutely, I was like you know, this is going to affect my career, like you know, not getting to do these things that I wanted to do. What am I going to do with my summer? You know I worked some and those sort of things. But, yeah, definitely like going into. It was definitely a little bit bummed about, you know, all of the negative things that were happening because of the lockdowns and everything, but we had no idea that it was going to kind of like spark the rest of our lives really.

Speaker 2:

That's amazing. Like I just again, a lot of people got divorced during COVID because they couldn't stand each other. Other people met some other people and some people like us. You got AFib, I got some chest problems, but most of them, I mean, you guys, found each other and that's. That's really cool, like what's. Is there something like you guys think, since you guys have known each other for a long time, was it easier to get into like a, like a point in your relationship where you like felt more um, how do you say like um, comfortable with each other? Like you guys, I don't know, when you start dating somebody, you know, like you always have these things. Like me, for example, I didn't let him see me pee for the longest time because I was like, no, like it all took us to go to spain and don't have a door in the bathroom that I was like, okay, now he has to see me pee.

Speaker 1:

And, and I don't know for you guys, since you guys, now I can't stop watching it I mean, yeah, because we, we just we grew up together, so there was always that level level of like comfort between us. Um, so I don't, I mean, I don't know that we really went through like an awkward stage where we just we've always been comfortable with each other because we grew up, you know, together I actually totally disagree.

Speaker 4:

You do, I so, and not on your end. But I am such a stubborn ass I would not ask for help with anything that's's true. Like and we had problems where I, like both of us are so type A, where we love doing things, we love helping people Like we. Just we like to be involved. Um, I have a tendency to overload my schedule and over commit to things and then would fail to be like, hey, like.

Speaker 4:

I really need help with something, etc that's um, so I tore my pectoral muscle back in 2022. Like was in a sling for eight weeks, ten weeks or something. I couldn't bathe myself, I couldn't drive myself, so she had to. Like anytime that we wanted to go out on a date or, if we like, had to take a trip somewhere. Like anytime that we wanted to go out on a date or if we like had to take a trip somewhere, she had to be the one to buckle me, drive me.

Speaker 4:

And that really forced me to be like okay, like I need to ask for help. I have no choice but to be like very humble and honest about like what I'm having a difficult time with and that's just been able to really blossom and like make our relationship much stronger where. I feel a lot more comfortable just being like hey, like it's not a big deal for me to ask for help.

Speaker 1:

Like if.

Speaker 4:

I'm having a hard time with work, or if I need to run something by you, it's. I'm not being a burden. I'm trying to engage with you as my partner, to be like yeah, I need help here.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that is that is interesting and that could be like daunting, right. Like especially when you're dating with someone, right, like I mean at this point in our relationship, me and Mark, like I know, if he breaks something, I'm going to have to like be there.

Speaker 2:

I have to be there, right, like I don't have a choice, right, and I wouldn't like just let him be there, like by himself. But when you're dating like it wasn't your responsibility, like you, you didn't have to do it, so so that's when you see somebody like that's when you see someone's true character exactly in the in the good times and also in the bad times, because in life I mean amazing if all the life is good, but you usually have bad moments too.

Speaker 2:

And that she was there that's, that's a good thing. Would you be there for me, pepe? Yeah of course you're better he doesn't have a choice. He doesn't have a choice.

Speaker 3:

He knows that no, you have to be there it never really felt like a choice for me.

Speaker 1:

It's just, you know, like he's my partner and of course I want to like help him through those things. But it was hard, like at first he because he moved back in with his parents actually when it first happened and he didn't want me to come over and help and he didn't want me to see him like that it was embarrassing, yeah, and so that was like a hurdle, yeah it's fine.

Speaker 1:

It's not like you were covered from head to toe, I know yeah, I think it was just like a mental thing for him to like get over as far as like um, you know, thinking that I like will see him differently if he's like not in this, like vulnerable state, like a weak guy.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, so I tore the muscle completely off the tendon, Like I couldn't use my left arm at all. Yeah, and so for me, like my dad had to bathe me, I couldn't dress myself. Like it was so humiliating. I thought to be like she's going to see me as weak, Like I'm not going to appear strong to her ever again. Like, oh my gosh, and really like it took us kind of working together and her being very direct, Like hey, like I'm here to help.

Speaker 2:

That's such a man thing, Totally Well absolutely Not you. You really like. Let me do a lot of the man work at home.

Speaker 3:

Well, yeah, when it comes to fixing stuff, I can't fix anything.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he's always like call the Mexican. Oh wait, you are the Mexican, oh my God. So yeah, no, I like to do stuff at home and I'm like, okay, move, because he will take forever to fix something or he wouldn't do it right. Again, he will call somebody and I'm not going to pay.

Speaker 3:

I wouldn't do it right, or perhaps I'm not doing it right on purpose.

Speaker 1:

Maybe you didn't learn how to do it on purpose.

Speaker 2:

I know that's what he is, but he's always like I mean, I'm like the man of the house, right? He's always saying, oh, thank God, we have a man in the house, I'm not kidding.

Speaker 3:

She fixes everything from electrical to plumbing. She puts in sinks, she'll put in a new, she's put in new stoves and microwaves and dishwashers, and she, just she, can do any of that stuff. Handy, handy there you go but.

Speaker 1:

I see what you're saying.

Speaker 2:

Like men, and we actually had an episode about talking about this, like why women prefer bad boys and not per se bad boys, but just knowing that that guy is stronger. Or like, um, because as a evolutionary thing, we as women search and seek for the stronger male right, and that happens in nature, like you see it, with animals, and we think that if somebody is nice or, like you say, weak, we're gonna be like in our subconscious, we don't think that person can protect us right, which is not really the case, because it was just temporary and it's not like she's looking at you like saying, oh no, this guy can't move his arm now.

Speaker 4:

Gotta go, gotta go. Next he's weak.

Speaker 3:

He won't be able to hold the club if the village gets attacked. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2:

Subconsciously, he's going to hold the pitchfork. It's not going to be me, right.

Speaker 3:

But you know, I mean I think you grow and you'll find out that more and more things will happen and you may get to return the favor someday.

Speaker 2:

Now you have to return the favor.

Speaker 4:

Well, I think that one thing that we have always done a really good job of like, even as friends, so like we're both the oldest child and when, when shit hits the fan, when something happens like we, I think we really do a good job of like locking in and being like this is what needs to get done.

Speaker 4:

you go here, I'll go here, ready break yeah so, then, for me to be like I feel very broken right now, like I need help with something I wasn't sure how to direct that, but now that you know we've like learned through that together, I think that I mean really it's made our relationship a lot stronger.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 4:

And she doesn't get as irritated because I'm like I need help and she was like thank you for asking.

Speaker 2:

That's me. I never asked for help. I'm like I can do it. Help like I'm like I can do it. And usually if I ask for help, this guy is like he takes forever to to help me. Like I'm like, babe, help me with this, never mind, I'll do it myself. He's like I was coming. I was like what do you do? In the process he went to the bathroom, started shaving.

Speaker 2:

I don't know I had to shave my arms, which is apparently a topic that keeps coming up on these episodes if you guys haven't seen that I swear like this, like this guy, always we have to leave the house, we have to do something. Hold on, I'm going to shave my arms Apparently. It's very important, but if I need help immediately, I just learn not to ask for help Because with my ADD, like it's… you just want it done like now, yeah, now, like now, like now, or I'll move into something else. So this is a moment where I need this project to finish and if I am determined to finish that, I want to do it right now. So if he, like, we got this mattress delivered to our home because we bought a new mattress and Amazon was running this special and it came shrink-wrapped and like a vacuum sealed in my head, I thought I can, I can bring this upstairs myself, not a chance, a three-floor.

Speaker 3:

We have a three-story townhome. Like she's gonna drag this up three stories because our bedroom is the top floor he comes down and he's I'm sweating, I'm like he's like need.

Speaker 2:

I was like yeah.

Speaker 1:

I do need help.

Speaker 2:

But it's hard. I understand your point of view. It's hard to ask for help when you're like a very independent, self-sufficient person, Absolutely yeah, it had nothing to do with me not trusting her.

Speaker 4:

It was very much like I can do it. I can take it on all on myself myself, which, like therein kind of lies the problem, because that leads to breakdown in communication and, um, you know, she assumes like, well, like, why doesn't he want my help?

Speaker 3:

like I'm here to help um yeah, there's nothing wrong with having to ask for help at all at all um and what so in your relationships, in your relationship, how do you um? Are you? What's your schedule? Are you? Do you work at a different place? You're at home? What do you work out of? How, like? How often are you together during a day or?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so I'm an emergency vet, so I work three to four days a week and I oftentimes work like weekend days.

Speaker 3:

So a lot of times like 12, 13,.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes it turns into 16 hour shifts and so you know, oftentimes we will only see each other for like an hour or so, like if I, you know, come home super late or something like that.

Speaker 1:

And then you know he works a normal kind of like nine to five job but has work from home like three days a week. So there's some weekdays that, like I have off, like, let's say, monday, so we do get to like spend some time at, like it's nice that he does. I guess that was. Another benefit of COVID is that now his work has turned into a hybrid schedule where he only has to go into the office so often so we can spend some time at home, like when I'm off during the week you know he's really good at being like, okay, I have a meeting at this time, this time, and this time like let's go, you know like run and get lunch or you know, do something you know, so that we can spend some time together. You know, even on those weeks where we have like opposite days off, and you guys, how long have you lived together, so she lives with her parents.

Speaker 1:

Technically no yeah.

Speaker 4:

But I live with a roommate in like the northern parts of the Heights, so she'll come over three or four times a week or so.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, almost live together. Yeah, I usually am over at his place like all my days off. Yeah, I'm usually almost live together. Yeah, I usually am over at his place like all my days off. But it's a closer commute for me to work from my parents' house too, so usually a lot of times when I work like I will stay at my parents' house.

Speaker 4:

I mean, it's like a third of the time. It takes you a while to go from my place to the clinic Sacrifices we make, yeah, but I would say that remote work, kind of like going back to us like first beginning our relationship, like I was able to work remotely in college station so I was able to stay with you a couple days a week and just like hang out like whenever, like if my day wrapped up at like right at five o'clock be, able to like go to the pool, hang out and so, while, like, the world around us seemed to be like completely crumbling so many questions, so much concern like we were able to have like a really amazing time together.

Speaker 1:

It was such a um, like polar opposite time because, like my mom's a nurse, so she was seeing things firsthand, um, you know, at her hospital and things and and obviously like it was a really scary time. But then, kind of in this little bubble that we created, you know, we, you know made some of the best friendships we've ever had, like created really good community, like a really good basis for our relationship. So, you know, it's definitely I'm sure you know most people can relate to that kind of disparity of feelings, you know, towards that time in history. That's like pretty unique, like I'm hoping we never go through something like that to that level again. But yeah, so it was definitely like an interesting time and we're still like feeling those effects with, like his working from home and those sort sort of things. Like it's definitely something that I think will stick with, like all of us, for a really long time.

Speaker 3:

You like working at home.

Speaker 4:

I do. I like the flexibility that it provides where, instead of taking an hour for lunch, I can pull clothes. I can do various things. But that in-person aspect of it I think it's really important for building trust with your coworkers with remote work is well, you know, you have people that have like automated mouse shakers or like okay, like like you're getting your work done, but are you really working a 40-hour work week? Um, I think being in office, it's true it's a huge thing.

Speaker 3:

What is it an?

Speaker 2:

automated mouse shaker where, like, you're shaking your mouse, so so they think you're like on there like working yeah so so people will buy machines to put their mouse on top of so it'll like move it'll move their mouse, like it'll move their cursor, so like their team's notifications or like on on outlook.

Speaker 4:

They're online but they're not doing anything. Um, so actually a couple high end tech companies have actually started tracking mouse cursors to see when the mouse stops or like to pick up like patterns of the mouse moving, and then they're then firing those people on assumption that they are using one of these like mouse movers. It's great, but again like trust totally being removed and are these people actually working? If they're using a mouse shaker and if they're not working, like, then that warrants a conversation of like, okay, like, are you really working your job or not?

Speaker 2:

But if you get the results done, yeah.

Speaker 3:

We're more in our company. We're more results oriented than we are Like what are you doing every moment of the day? Because I don't own you, you just work for us and so.

Speaker 1:

And I'm like I need to do a job, yeah.

Speaker 3:

We want to know that you're doing a job you know like, and again, I'm a big proponent of that and I think this showed us that I always say that that old model and I grew up having to do that and I hate that and I will never, ever have an office where I have to go sit in it again because I just don't want to do that and so, again, I always prefer it's not the 1960s and we don't work in a bank or an insurance company or put me, for God's sake, in a cubicle, might as well, just put me in prison. I'm not ever doing that again. So you know that to me is just miserable life. I think there's more to life and I think a lot of this comes from the fact that we live in Europe half the year, because Europeans don't work like that. They live life. It's not all about work. They enjoy life and work pays the bills. Here we pretend. You know, americans tend to think that work is the number one thing we do. And also we'll let you slide in a little bit If you ask us on paper and ask us for permission. You could have this much time for your family, but not more than that, and so I don't like that. I think the COVID thing showed us that it's a new world and the new generations understand that, and there's so much more life than just constantly working. So to me I'm like okay, did this get done? Did that get done? Where are we at with that? I know the tasks. Is it done? Okay, we're good. And then we move on and next thing, enjoy your thing.

Speaker 3:

My daughter, who worked because we paid for her college, she works for me. That's her payback and she loves it. She works out of her house, she does her own thing, she knows what she has to do. She gets it done. In the middle of the day yesterday she texted me hey, I'm going to get my eyebrows done. All right, knock yourself out. It wasn't like okay, when I have my lunch break, I'm going to go take my lunch hour for my 45 minutes and I'll do this. That's nonsense. Again, it's not the 1960s, forget that bullshit. We just and Tiffany's like, hey, she literally said in the text this is done, this is done, this is done. I emailed this. You're waiting on this, waiting to hear back from this. I'm going to get my eyebrows done. I'll talk to you in an hour. Okay, cool, there's an emergency. I'll hit you up. Otherwise, enjoy your life, right, you know, that's fine.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's the way it should be, so you enjoy that. You like working remotely, I like working as a whole.

Speaker 4:

I would say that whenever I go into the office, I like to make a point to have in-person meetings. To have in-person meetings and I think that that's something that a lot of companies are missing. The opportunity on is if you're in person, make that time valuable. Don't just go into the office just to sit down there and then-.

Speaker 4:

Do what you could do at home Right and have like virtual meetings, when someone's like sitting across the room from you. Like that doesn't make sense and there's a like like in like all industries right now where people do have a hybrid work schedule, there's a lot of vocal pushback about like how can we make this more personable? You know, being able to work remotely has also led me to kind of pursue my own hobbies and my own interests, which has been helpful, and I also commute time and, instead of driving for two extra hours a day, like you can use that time you know.

Speaker 4:

Exactly right. And I get every other Friday off because I work 980s. So if she's working then I'll go bring you lunch or go stop by and say hi, aw, yeah, if she's off, he's really good about that.

Speaker 1:

He does bring me lunch and, just like, stops by the hospital which is like a drive, for I mean the hospital I work at is like 30 minutes at least 30 to 40 minutes from his house, so he'll take time to go.

Speaker 2:

Well, what people don't realize. Like in Texas, everything is so far away. That is just between the traffic and everything. Everything is so far away because the land is so big. Texas is a very big state.

Speaker 3:

So I always say this People ask me how big is Houston? They have no idea, but it's. I think it's either Houston or LA is the biggest geographical city in America that I know that. You could literally start on one side of the city, get on the freeway at normal freeway speeds, 55, 60 miles an hour, you can drive an hour and you're still in the city. It's just crazy how big the city is. It just keeps growing and growing and growing and more people are actually moving here from california everywhere else because state you know, texas has no state taxes people.

Speaker 2:

Don't tell them people are gonna want to move here they're already coming.

Speaker 3:

Believe me, they're texas, california, new york. They coming Bringing their money with them and they're coming. But speaking of so you said you have time to do your side hustle. This is great. So one of the things we started talking in our conversation was this is one of the things, because he knew that we started talking about us being in the beauty business, and this is one of his things he developed and this again this generation. I love it because everybody's got a side hustle, one of his things he developed and this again this generation. I love it because everybody's got a side hustle. They're always doing stuff and this is pretty cool. It's very ingenious. This is skincare basically for unisex right, you can use it for both, but it's clean. It's organic, clean.

Speaker 1:

All natural ingredients. Yeah, look at all these pretty things.

Speaker 3:

These are amazing. What got me is I like the packaging. Thank you what.

Speaker 2:

What got me is that you've put a lot of research into this and the fact that is tell us a little bit, uh, but it's about with mushrooms or something.

Speaker 4:

So um, it started with my sister having eczema. She had terrible experience with eczema and like she would like like hide her hands because she had eggs on her hands and I'm like what can I do to fix this? With my geophysics background, I did research in undergrad. That made me very comfortable with learning things that I had no background knowledge on.

Speaker 1:

Or, like you know, comfortable reading research papers and obviously, like I do as well.

Speaker 4:

And so I'm able to bounce stuff off of her.

Speaker 1:

So you just started doing a bunch of research Like how can I help my sister, and then you know how can I have cleaner like skincare, and that's kind of how this whole thing blossomed, so the product in your hand marked in a black jar. So that's our face balm.

Speaker 4:

That was our first product. That really so I gave it to my sister right and her eczema cleared up in three days after she started using it.

Speaker 2:

Like all, we do that, like I, I do the same thing. I I create something. I would like try it in the family, just in case something goes south yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Like that's where product development starts friends and family friends and family.

Speaker 2:

Something goes south, you know they're not gonna like, do you?

Speaker 4:

at least you hope my sister has high standards of stuff too, so if she didn't like it, it's dead in the water. So I started with that and she was like this is great. And I thought well, people struggle with eczema, let's see. So we have a morning serum and an evening serum, and the blends of mushrooms and herbs are perfectly formulated for your skin's need. Morning serum it has vitamin C, cordyceps tremella mushroom, which is a natural source of hyaluronic acid. It firms, it brightens. We also have a unique formulation in there where it acts as a UVB protectant. Love our morning serum Radiance is a super lightweight moisturizer for people that have clogged pores. Evening serum helps to reduce your sebum secretion, so your skin's natural oil, um, and evens out your skin tone. A lot of people, um, especially in this digital age, like we talk a lot about skin tone and how we can look better on camera, so a lot of people like well, that's why the filters right, like you can't never.

Speaker 2:

You. I sort of got some people with the filters, some people you just can't recognize them in person, like who is this person right? And then you just realize you have a friend right, like he's some people on his facebook that he's always showing it to me and and when I meet them in person I'm like what, it's not the same person he's like oh, you know her from facebook, or you know him from facebook.

Speaker 4:

You're like so, so the for me, it's so important to be able to have skincare that's clean. We're we all seem to be a lot more aware of what we're ingesting, what we're putting on our face, um, so we're using natural herbs, um and mushrooms to be able to deliver exceptional skincare for all skin types.

Speaker 1:

It doesn't matter. So it's kind of his goals like simplify you know the process for people that are like I can't do skincare, it doesn't matter. So it's kind of his goal is to like simplify you know the process for people that are like I can't do skincare, it's like too complicated. So that's kind of part of the goal, as well as just having an option for people that like want to, to focus on like clean skincare and just start something which is a big priority right now yeah.

Speaker 3:

Clean, clean steps, so that's great. So you have a website, obviously Sevo. Sevo is the name of the actual company, right? S-e-v-o.
