Coach GC: [00:00:00] What's going on everybody? It's Coach GC, and I am joining with my co-host, Marie. What's going on, Marie?
Marie Donnelly: Hello, hello, everyone. All is quiet over here in the Green Isle. GC, how is things at your part of the world?
Coach GC: it's funny because I am currently over here in America right now. So but where are you at?
Marie Donnelly: I'm in Ireland.
Coach GC: Wow ...
Marie Donnelly: my feet are firmly on the Ireland-
Coach GC: All right, perfect. And we're here doing our inaugural episode of The Hot Air Balloon, and I am excited to do this with you. Tell me a little bit about your practice. Tell us all about how you got here
Marie Donnelly: That's a long story to start off bore people with.
so my background is mental health and addiction as a social worker in adult services, for over 20 years, and I then transferred into coaching, [00:01:00] and that's where it has led me now to work with athletes and CEOs and professionals in terms of helping them step off the hamster wheel and helping them find themselves, but from looking from the inside out, basically.
What about yourself? How have you got to this journey? I'd be interested to hear.
Coach GC: So coincidentally, I got to this journey because I went up too high. I almost died. I literally went up too high, right? I got a blood disorder. I went to the mountains. It did not work out well. And then upon, surviving, I realized I really wanna do something a little bit more with my life.
I wanna make a difference. I wanna help people create greater change, and so I became a certified executive coach, and now I work specifically with, lawyers and high-stakes professionals, give them systems so that they can break through their plateaus, which is funny, because I believe that's today's topic. How do you get [00:02:00] higher?
Marie Donnelly: But do you know what would be
Coach GC: also interesting? All right, so let's, let's just jump right into it. Go ahead, tell me.
Marie Donnelly: I'm wondering should we let the listeners in on a secret of how we came to the name of the Hot Air Balloon?
Coach GC: You know what? If they stick around to the final season, then, then we let them know.
I think we, I think we keep them, we keep them listening until then.
Marie Donnelly: So will there be a surprise in the final season of how we show up?
Coach GC: Yeah. Yeah, exact- There you go. There you go. We're gonna do it live from an actual Hot Air Balloon, flying over some- Are we? Whatever is in between Ireland and America, we'll go there and then we'll do our first one.
That's- That's not happening ... that'll be our final episode, y'all, for this.
Marie Donnelly: Might be just a background on a coach.
Coach GC: All right, but let's talk about, let's talk about plateaus, because I see them, [00:03:00] in a completely different way, because I've, I've been on one before, right? Where you achieve, you get success. Especially early on, for those who hit their strides early on, and you tend to do things and it gets a massive amount of return on investment.
But as you continue to be successful, your success is looked at as normal. It's just, that's just who you are. It becomes less impressive, and then as it becomes less impressive, it becomes less impactful. And because of that, you end up doing a lot more effort and getting a lot less return, and that's the plateau that I've seen for many of the high stakes professionals that I work with.
And so it's about, one, even just realizing that you're on a plateau, 'cause so many people are on the plateau, and they either don't know it or they don't care about it. And so that's, that's from the outside perspective. But what's happening on the inside, for folks if they're... But what's your experience been like?
Marie Donnelly: I [00:04:00] see this a lot with people who climb the ladders, and their identities and their titles walk into the room before they do. so they get to a point where they can't be sometimes authentic with themselves or with other people around them. If you take it... An analogy I would use on this one is whenever a plane, we're t- we're talking about altitude and you go into great heights and that in the past, but whenever, a plane is cruising, and the altitude, and it's going at 500 miles an hour, and all the passengers are sitting there, and they're sitting still, that's what plateau often feels like, 'cause there's so much going on in the background- where it actually looks calm on the outside. And it almost, in my experience from speaking with people, when people plateau, there's almost an element of boredom and soul-searching. [00:05:00] 'Cause really they get to the point of, "Where am I?" And it then just becomes the job. So that satisfaction then is removed, where then they don't become, in align with their own values.
Because again, it's about the dopamine hit. It's about chasing the next month- It's about chasing the next hit, however that may look, whether that be with going in and buying a whole bar a round, or drug use, or doom scrolling, or whatever it may be. And I remember speaking to an executive there, and he went out and partied hard at the weekends.
He would have worked very hard, partied hard at the weekends, and, would end up actually then going and buying his partner a Range Rover or something 'cause he felt guilt. He felt all of this hidden annoyance at himself of going out, blowing a load of money on the [00:06:00] weekend, but it didn't mean anything to him.
So in terms of plateau- he was getting to a point where he was- He didn't know where he was, and he had plateaued because he was, merely existing at this point rather than just living. So it's very interesting. Plateau was very interesting. What is your take on plateau?
Coach GC: So for me, it's, one, it's just helping people identify that they're even on one.
And a lot of times- it's the difference between where you are and where you feel like you're capable of getting, and as a third one, and where you actually want to go. And see, so what I, what I see with, my coach lawyers or any high stakes professionals is, you're so good at what you do that you get to a point where it just becomes easy, right?
This doesn't even matter. It's just it's rudimentary. Like you said, you're just going to work. It just becomes a part of who you are. But the [00:07:00] easy part of who you are, not the high end, right? Not the, not the upper echelon version of you, just- just the- the- the mediocre version. The normal version, so to speak.
And so those people are so much capable of more, but for whatever reason, either they, have become jaded about career prospects, something else has happened in their life that's taken away their joy for the pursuit of excellence, their joy for creating that greater change that I'm always talking about.
And so they're just just, they are doing the thing that they've always done because that thing has gotten them to this level of success, and they continue- to do those things, but they don't get that same success back anymore.
Marie Donnelly: Right.
Coach GC: It's just like weightlifting. I know you just recently, just got sponsored, by an athletic, company, right?
What, sorry? I saw that on LinkedIn. My... Didn't you just get sponsored by an athletic company or like athletic [00:08:00] leisure wear? I'm pretty sure I just saw that on LinkedIn.
Marie Donnelly: Yes. We're getting there. We're trying to get sponsored.
Coach GC: My co-host is famous, y'all. I just don't know if y'all know that yet. But, yeah, so-
Marie Donnelly: For what?
Coach GC: It's just working out. If you go and work out with the s- with weight, you're gonna get stronger, but at some point, using that same weight is not going to get you any stronger And that's what I see with my coach players.
Marie Donnelly: I also have to add on to that.
Sorry for interrupting-
Coach GC: Go ahead. What you got?
Marie Donnelly: But there's, there's a point of being complacent, but there's also a point of, I had used this analogy with a client the other day about going to the gym, and this is why I am talking into that, is that there's a difference about going to the gym and lifting the appropriate weight. However, if you go to the gym and you are lifting that weight when you have a torn shoulder or a torn ligament or you've hurt your foot- there's a difference between knowing in terms of ... So you can go to the gym, I go to the [00:09:00] gym and come out, and there's days I feel sore all over my body, and I'm like, "Yes," and I love that pain. It's a really good pain. But if I was to go to the gym, you're laughing at me saying that's a good pain. If I was to go to the gym and I had an ankle, injury, and I was to do the same workout or I was to try to run on that, it's gonna take me longer for re- my recovery.
So it's exactly like that what you're talking about, is going into work, that plateau, that complacency. it's, it is about knowing when to keep going and knowing when to stop and to look different. My view on this has always been the same. If I ever become complacent at a job and think that I know it all, it's time for me to leave.
It's time for me not to do that. 'Cause I am ... the people I see, they are the professionals of their own lives. I am only there to walk alongside them [00:10:00]
All right. But you you brought up a really astute point, and I wanna dive into it and let's draw it out a little bit. You talk about into the gym, but you're hurt or you're injured, you can't do the same things that you've always been able to do.
And so you focus so much on plateau breaking from the inside- Yeah ... from the true core of a person. So how do you distinguish between when you're hurt and when you're injured? And I know, just 'cause granted, keep in mind everyone for those watching, me and Marie have known each other for a couple months now.
All right? We've, we've been locked in on LinkedIn, but there's just a, there's a lot of differences between, some of her nomenclature and some of mine. So bear with us. But so I think of it as hurt as, There's gonna be a lot of arguing
here ...
yeah. So I look at it as hurt as you're, you don't feel the best, right?
You're sore, things of that nature, versus injured where [00:11:00] you have a problem. So for the professionals listening today, can you explain from a plateau perspective the difference between being hurt and being injured as you see it?
So for what, from my experience in working with people, being hurt is something that we can work on quite quickly, and we can take the helicopter view on it, and it may be that somebody reacted to something that you said, or you reacted in work to something that somebody else said, a reaction that normally wouldn't happen, but you're feeling a lot of stress and stuff in the background.
This then goes on into injury when you carry that on further, when you start to overthink this, when your [00:12:00] mood constantly holds you down, when you are, feel that you're accountable for everything, when you start to feel the weight of the world getting on your shoulders, when you're high-flying and that you have no one to speak to, and the first person that you go to, the first friend that you turn to at home isn't your partner or your family.
It's maybe that bottle of wine in the fridge. this is when playing hurt is turning into injury So I think we've lost Coach GC. Oh wait, oh there he's back.
Coach GC: No, I want-
Marie Donnelly: I was talking to
Coach GC: all of you ... I wanted to give you the f- I wanted to give you the floor 'cause you were cooking, and I wanted- ... the audience to only focus on you.
No, like- Well,
Marie Donnelly: you could have- ...
Coach GC: that is profound ...
Marie Donnelly: you could have explained that to me and the audience before that happened. I just, that was just a shock, me seeing me. Hey. People wanna see me.
Coach GC: It was your- Totally off ...
it was your moment. It was a spotlight.
Marie Donnelly: See, this is the thing. And I [00:13:00] thought- This is the pro in GC and this is not the pro in me, so yous are gonna have, this is how we rock.
He turns up all professional. All, has everything scripted. I'm like, rock up. Rock up and just talk.
Coach GC: We're both doing the same thing, free- freestyling here for the benefit of our audience. But-
Marie Donnelly: We are.
Coach GC: We are ... I want you, I wanna hold on, I wanna hold onto that moment though. I want you to tell us a little bit more about what happens, what are the trends that you can see before you get to the point where you're actually injured?
Is there any way to I'm, I'm actually hurt. Because I, I'm certainly, I've been there in my career where I'm just like, "Oh, this is not, the returns that I'm used to getting are not what I'm getting now, and so is it me? Is it my situation? What can I change? What can I make better?" Et cetera, et cetera.
Marie Donnelly: But- Let's delve into that a little bit further ...
Coach GC: when is it time to actually pause? So that's the thing- What you got? ...
Marie Donnelly: Let's delve into that a little bit further about how that actually felt [00:14:00] for you, because again, this is about being open and honest for people to relate to.
There's so many people hide behind so many different masks, and for us to actually pull that apart here in the studio, that is gonna be beneficial for people that are high level and listening to this podcast, because that's the audience that we want to hear. We want to make an impact to you, our listeners, who is going through this.
So let's, let's unpack that a little bit here, if you're comfortable to do so.
Coach GC: Now I'm grossly uncomfortable with this, but I'll do it- ... for the benefit of the audience. So, for, from my perspective-
Marie Donnelly: We're not gonna go too deep ...
Coach GC: so I started my career-
Marie Donnelly: We're gonna, we're not gonna go too deep on it. We're just in terms of surface level.
Coach GC: Yeah. We won't, we won't... Yeah, we won't go too deep for the intro, but, for, from my perspective, I started my career, I had the benefit of being the son of a lawyer. My dad's a judge. but so I've kind of seen it. I had the benefit of seeing other lawyers and [00:15:00] understanding, this is how you, this is how you move.
And so I moved that way. And it led to a lot of success, particularly early on. Pretty much every award that one could win, I was involved. I excelled to leadership quickly. didn't take the path of most people, 'cause most people are trying to get their feet wet. Most people are trying to just focus on their practice area.
Most people are just trying to establish themselves. But I kind of came out of the gate and just was like, "Hey, I'm here now. I'm established." just just, speak it as though it is, until it is. And because of that, you end up skyrocketing upward. but then you get to a point where you're not a young lawyer anymore, so that like young upstart vibe that you gave off, it isn't anymore.
It doesn't work the same. It doesn't move the needle nearly as much. 'Cause at some point in time, if you keep showing up, then you're just, you're a person that shows up.
Yeah.
So that's less impactful in and of itself. And so I had to find [00:16:00] ways to continue to be as impactful as I wanted to be or as how I knew I could be.
And then ultimately, what worked for me was just doing a complete pivot. Yeah, I was, I was great at the law, right? But that wasn't truly what was making me feel like I was impacting the world. And so I had to learn. I got my certification, in executive coaching, then learned some more and myself until I finally to a space where I was like, "Hey, I can now adequately provide, this as a resource to other lawyers."
And then, but, doing that, you basically, you basically restart. That's the funny thing about plateaus, as I try to warn my coach lawyers. you're, you're, you're one plateau, you're, you're stuck. You don't even know how long you're stuck. But when you get to the next one, you're starting at the bottom again, and then you gotta go up.
And so same thing with executive coaching. When you restart and all of a sudden you're a brand new coach, you're brand [00:17:00] new. There's so much that you don't know, there's so much that you're learning, and there's so much that you're still trying to build. And it was difficult going from someone well established, well successful, to a person who's at the fledgling level again.
Marie Donnelly: Right.
Coach GC: And then seeing all those people who had previously seen me as, super successful, now they get a front, you know, a front watch of me struggling and starting off, you know, doing webinars where nobody shows up. Right. And stuff like that. And it kind of makes you wonder, man, should I continue this?
Am I wasting my time? Is this not going to work? Because it didn't work as well as the last thing that I was extremely good at. So it's just like, no, because if you think about it, you weren't 100 when you started that one either. You had to build to it. So it's the same thing with the coaching, so.
Marie Donnelly: 100%.
Coach GC: And in all- There you go. That's the last time, last time this season I talk about myself.
Marie Donnelly: We'll see. We'll see. [00:18:00] But there is a lot of learning, for you looking back at that time. And I, and I talk about that quite a bit openly as well too. But, what has been the biggest learning in that for yourself in terms of being at, coming into a world and almost being set upon a pedestal rather than earning your way up to that pedestal, and then almost, not a fall from grace, but as such, but getting to the point where you thought, "You know, I am plateauing."
And then actually the stresses and the strains and what happened then at that point, then you turned your, what you can do and what you've learnt and where you were at that point into something really beneficial for other people that actually were gonna reach that point also. So in terms of your learning, what was your biggest learning out of all of that?
Coach GC: All right, so- So it's almost like if you get pointed to a path, right? A lot of people just don't [00:19:00] even have the path, and that's, that's what I've learned. so for me, I was- a long time, was able to see what he did well, what he, what he felt like he could have done differently. And so I was able to actually chart out a path and go and do it.
So it's, not a pedestal thing, it's like a the race thing. Because what, what do we all need to do to accomplish anything? We gotta do it.
Marie Donnelly: Yeah. Just start.
Coach GC: We could have all of the best... Yeah, we could have all the best workout plans in the world, but if you don't actually take your, yourself to the gym, you're never going to improve.
So having that roadmap, having that benefit of a dad who had a stalwart career gave me that roadmap, so I just immediately started going, right? Started doing. But when you start and do something different- Then I started back at the bottom, and I did not have a roadmap. I had to figure all the things out myself.
Now granted, I had the benefit of, hey, I've s- I've been successful before, I'll be successful again, right? And just having that dogged [00:20:00] belief that I, that I was going to win, 'cause we never lose, right? So it's just believing in that until it was ultimately successful. But the biggest lesson that I learned, and then it's one of the things I had to overcome, nobody cares.
Nobody cares. Everyone has their own problems. Yeah. Nobody is watching my problems.
Marie Donnelly: And nobody's coming to save you.
Coach GC: So I Yeah, so once I kind of got to that space of nobody cares if my webinar falls flat. No one's going to know that my webinar did well or didn't do well. No one knows. And if they do know-
Marie Donnelly: 'Cause nobody showed up
Coach GC: nobody cares.
Marie Donnelly: And so- So nobody's gonna know. Right?
Coach GC: So it's how are they gonna know? But it's hey, I might as well shoot the shot 'cause, who cares? I either make it or I miss it. Yeah. But I know I'm not gonna make it if I don't shoot it. So now, once you put that down or once you lean into that and then you're like okay with po- the potentiality of failure, then you can start seeing true success.
'Cause if you only take a [00:21:00] shot that you think you're guaranteed to make, you find yourself taking less shots, and you find yourself on a plateau, because you can't rise without conflict.
Marie Donnelly: But I also find, I think that you find that you lose yourself, because what happens then, in my experience, is that a lot of your values then have been instilled on you from a societal point of view or from your caregivers from growing up.
And you get to the point you actually ask yourself, "Who am I? Who am I without the title?" Or, "Who am, who do I want to be? What path do I want to follow?" and it was very similar even in my own upbringing. I have, I have five brothers, and I'm the youngest child. I'm the only female. and my family are a business, all very business orientated family.
And I took a different path, so I went down a social work route. I didn't know what social worker was first and foremost. This is how chilled out I [00:22:00] am. So I totally got a big awakening.
But, doing that and then turn, going through 20-odd years of working mental health and addictions, getting to the point where I started to question myself, going, "Yes, I do wanna help people. Yes, I know I'm really good at it," but I had a limited belief. Even though I came from a business family, I had the limited belief that I'm no business woman.
Who would I be to be a business woman?
And that's when I got to a plateau in my own head where I had to work through that myself, going, "Get your self on. Of course you're a business woman. Just because you haven't done it yet doesn't mean that you're no good at it." and it's about working through that sort of thought pattern in your head, and it's exactly what happened with you.
It's take the shot. If you don't take the shot, you're never gonna either miss or hit it, hit your target. So what's the point? What's the [00:23:00] point if you don't take that shot? so it's- Honestly. So it's, whether you're taking a three-pointer or a one-pointer, I totally sound like I know what I'm talking about.
Coach GC: There's no one-pointer in basketball. I, they,
they- Is there not? ...
they're gonna kill you in the comments.
Marie Donnelly: No. Who are they? Well, to be fair- Yeah ... if we go with Gaelic football, which is my side of the fence, well, yeah, you can get one points.
So, yes.
Coach GC: I mean, I guess you could get, you can get one point from a free throw, so I guess in a way there, you are capable of getting one point.
Marie Donnelly: I think that's what I was talking about. That's what, exactly what I was talking about. Of
Coach GC: course. Nat- naturally. Naturally.
Marie Donnelly: But basketball's actually a really good point of even when you are feeling very in a, in a plateau, that actually...
' What do you call that when you're bouncing the ball up and down? [00:24:00] when you're bouncing it? Dribbling. They're not looking at the ball. They're looking ahead. So what actually is happening- here is peripheral vision rather than a foveal. So if we widen that out, that we are using our prof- peripheral vision within the work that we do, we see the picture as a bigger picture rather than being so focused on what we can and can't do. And again, it's just because we haven't done something doesn't mean that we can't do it. What I think is exciting about this as well also is you start off with a title.
Like we've started off with about being high, what keeps you there in terms of work, but we've also then, we've looked at plateau. But we've been able to look into different memories and take them in as a general point, which allowed for us, and allowed for me to see you to be uncomfortable, [00:25:00] apologies, with being true to yourself.
But so many people, coach, is gonna actually be able to relate to what you have said in terms of opening that up for them. Because when we carry something around in here for so long, it becomes a lot bigger. Almost like if you had a balloon in your head, the balloon of worry, if you had this balloon, the more that you add air to that, the more room it's taking up in here.
So it's about letting that air out, just very slowly and at a pace that you're comfortable with
Coach GC: All right, so let's give our, let's give our folks some tangible advice, right? So what is it that you can do to break through the plateau that's inside?
I'll give them a system. You do the inside work, I'll do the outside work. How about that? [00:26:00]
Marie Donnelly: Sounds good.
Coach GC: So of course, ladies first, or, Still chivalrous in America.
Marie Donnelly: You're so kind. So in terms of, it's looking at what isn't serving you anymore in terms of when you reach this plateau- What are you reaching for outside of that no longer serves you? What habits are you creating yourself? But this is about, this is stuff that I talk about in my inner power system, and I talk about stillness, what it's like to be still, how to learn to be still.
And in that, I also ... The importance ... So even if you look at athletes, it's so important for them to have rest days. It's exactly the same for us internally. We need to learn how to be still. And then I [00:27:00] look at the yield as well. And when I say yield, I mean give way. Give way to the stuff that causes you the stress, the anxieties.
Be honest with you. Start to look at that. And a lot of people I work with, I work in what's known as gray area drinking. In terms of what I mean by that is, people that is drinking to the point of where it's not enough to worry a, the, a doctor or to concern a doctor, but it's more concerning for themselves, where they're saying maybe that weekend starting to have more bottles than just the one, or they say the weekend going into the week.
So it's about starting to look at the coping mechanisms that no longer serve you. They once did, they once had a purpose, but they no longer do. And then it is about starting to look, again, at the inside out. For me, this is so important. Start to look at your values. Who really are you, and who do you want to be?
If people were to speak about you now, what would they [00:28:00] say about you, and what would you want them to say about you? Because knowing our values is about starting to lean into our truth about who we really are, and when we expand on our thinking in terms of not... Because as human beings, we are so hard on ourselves, and we are so used to hearing the negative voice.
We're so used to listening to the negative voice and agreeing with it that we sometimes don't even argue against it. So it's about starting to expand on our thinking, but actually question it. You mentioned your dad being a judge, coach. It's about imagine you had your thoughts up on the dock. Prove it.
Prove that they're real. And then it's about living into your mastery. So it's taking all of these bits and pieces and starting to actually live into the life that you want. Have fun. Let your hair down, if you have hair.[00:29:00]
Not pointing any fingers, but hey.
Coach GC: Feel like you're taking shots at me.
Marie Donnelly: A one-pointer or a three-point?
So it's, it's
Coach GC: about- Well, look, if you-
Marie Donnelly: Go ahead.
Coach GC: I'm just gonna say, if you are doing the same thing that got you to where you are, it's not going to likely get you to a different place.
Truly, if you keep doing the same things that made you successful, sure, you'll be always at that level of success, accepting arguendo that, the situation doesn't, randomly change.
In order to get different results, you have different mechanisms. You have different skill sets. You have to push yourself beyond what you're comfortable with, beyond what you have been doing. You have to reassess your landscape. So many of us are on these plateaus because we [00:30:00] don't know we're on a plateau.
we think we're doing well, we think we're happy, we think we have the, the success that we're capable of getting. But the truth is we're only applying ourselves maybe, 50%, 75%. Think about the last time you went all out And not just, not just you, Marie, but when is the last time that you actually sat down and went all out on a plan, all out on an idea, all out on a concept that was yours, something for you?
When's the last time you did that? I think about how much effort people put in, to work, and I typically work with a lot of solo practitioners, so they work for themselves, so their bosses are crazy. But for the people that work for other people, it's how much effort do you put in when it's for someone else and someone else's dream versus for your own?
And so getting you into the mindset of knowing, the level of success that you have now [00:31:00] doesn't have to be the level of success that you always have. You could have more. If you
Marie Donnelly: want- I'm gonna argue against that, though, because what is your definition- Go ahead ... of success?
Coach GC: I leave it up to everyone else to define.
You define your own success. That's the, that's the beauty of this race. Like me, getting a webinar with just one person was successful when I first started doing webinars, right? Because, hey, I'm coming from nowhere. so getting anyone is good. Whereas if I was doing it for several years or if I had previously had hundreds of people at my webinars all the time, getting one would feel like a letdown.
So it's just different. It's all about where you are. So I want you to define success. You define what means success for you, but you also have to realize that no matter what the definition is, you could achieve more-
if you want to, if you wanna make that change, if you want to make the effort to move yourself up and off the plateau.
Marie Donnelly: So working from the outside in [00:32:00] as the opposite to what I do is working from the inside out, what would be your advice to our listeners today?
Coach GC: So if we're doing outside in, I want you to create a system. The first thing I need you to do is do an analysis on whether or not you are on a plateau, and you gotta figure out if you wanna stay on that plateau.
Some of, some of your lives are great. Some of your lives are truly great Some people have gotten to that... What they want to achieve matches what they're capable of achieving, matches, giving them the life that they want. If you are there, you've hit the trifecta. You've hit perfection. You're in nirvana.
Hold onto that. Love it. Enjoy it. As Marie says, let your hair down if you have hair, which I don't know why we're talking about, the hairless community. But, nevertheless, let your hair down. Enjoy yourself. But if you feel like you have more talent
The success that you have, then I want you to consider looking around , thinking through what you can do to get [00:33:00] off. 'Cause at bare minimum, hopefully after this conversation you realize that you are on one. Yeah. So that's the start. First you gotta acknowledge And then to find out what else to do from there, you gotta tune into episode two.
So that's it for episode one.
Marie Donnelly: That's it.
Coach GC: How'd we do? Let us know in the comments. We hope... We appreciate you being here with us on our Hot Air Balloon as we continue to try to take everyone to new heights.

Marie Donnelly: I loved it. Loved it. The adrenaline's pumping.
The dopamine's just, chasing after it soon.
Coach GC: All right. Perfect. Well, again, thank you. I'm Coach CC, and
Marie Donnelly: And Coach Marie, can we just add in about, to the listeners about the whole Marie/Murray thing?
Coach GC: Yes. Marie/Murray.
Marie Donnelly: So it's just coincidental. So we'd love to hear how yous [00:34:00] pronounce it. So I pronounce my name as Marie, and Coach GC's surname is Murray, so it sounds very- Yeah ... similar. So I'd love to hear your take on it in the comments also. But other- Well, I
Coach GC: mean, I got the right one. I got... I'm the... Yeah, 'cause you're Marie.
Marie Donnelly: Yeah. You're Murray.
Coach GC: How do you say it?
Marie Donnelly: You're
Coach GC: Murray. I'm Marie and you're Murray.
Marie Donnelly: You're Murray. Murray. I'm Marie.
Coach GC: Whatever. We're, we're going, we're gonna go mad doing this, but I hope you all tune in again. the Hot Air Balloon's going to come out, w- what did we say? Weekly? Yeah. Bi-weekly. I think we said bi-weekly.
