Speaker 0 00:00:00 Use yourself to myself and the world and tell us who you are and what you're about.
Speaker 1 00:00:05 Sure. My name is crystal Lynch and I'm the owner of the Chrysalis method.
Speaker 0 00:00:10 Okay. And so crystal, what is this method about
Speaker 1 00:00:14 Basically? Um, it's about what happens when you decide to evolve? Um, it's almost like, uh, a reincarnation of now. So rather than thinking of reincarnation in like, oh, in my next life or a past life, it's we can, we have the ability to just evolve ourselves into, I don't want to say like better beings, but maybe just like, I like to personally focus on happiness and contentment. So that's kind of what it's about
Speaker 0 00:00:48 Point, uh, and this is nothing against the education system, but if you think about one skill that we need as adults that we use every day is, is financial literacy, right? We're making decisions, financial decisions. Every day we get up in the morning. Am I going to make my lunch? Am I going to buy it? Uh, I got to pay a bill. I go shopping. And even, even though, you know, where you're buying groceries, it doesn't seem like a, a consequential decision, but it is a financial decision. Right. So, you know, and the school doesn't prepare us for that. Right. And, uh, it's kinda funny. I saw this, uh, I was talking to Tanner too, but, uh, I was taught, uh, saw this cartoon that talked about I'm so glad I learned about parallelograms. Cause it came early handy, this parallel grime season. Right. You know, and I'm not, you know, nothing against the math teachers out there, eh, but you know, in addition to the math and the sciences and social study in English, why don't we add, you know, financial literacy?
Speaker 0 00:01:47 So we prepare these kids for adulthood. Right. Uh, you know, and, and I know some schools are starting to do that, but you know, doing it in grade 11 or 12 and one, you know, let's say a couple of chapters on how to bank and get a credit card is not, it doesn't do no. You know, so it doesn't suffice. Right? We need to teach kids at the elementary stage junior high and high school so that when they get to university college, whatever they do, they're able to manage money. His teachers have reached out to me as moms reach out to me, foundations have reached out to me to talk to this guy. So it's going to be a fun one, get ready for it and get ready to say, Aw. So I don't introduce my guests. They introduce themselves because they can do a better job. So hello, young man. Can you please introduce yourself to the people at home?

So here we are to stay and our daughter went through school here and she's now graduated and still living home. But, uh, going about her thing now, and I'm progressing, going through university, right in regards
Speaker 0 00:04:24 To yourself, I know like you have this career that you're doing right now, but in your off time, you, uh, you liked to mess around with music.

And you know, you have to do that somehow and try to make it a hobby and some day hopefully. Yeah. Some job or something like that, you know?

Speaker 4 00:05:20 And DJ and why? Well, I just make a, you know, like 40 minute mix of just a compilation of songs and stuff like that. And then I'll sometimes do a mashup of those two songs or whatever, just to give it like, you know, a new spice or new kicker.
