Speaker Identification

Speaker 1 - Announcer / Prerecorded Show Voice
The opening and closing segments use third-person promotional language introducing Sound Pathways and Dr. Karen Olson, indicating a prerecorded announcer or show-identification voice.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host
The opening announcement explicitly identifies Dr. Karen Olson as the host. The primary interviewer welcomes Donald Newsom, asks the episode's questions, discusses sound, creativity, service, and listening, and closes the interview.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest
The uploaded transcript identifies the guest as Donald Newsom, and the host introduces him as one of the twin founders behind BBS Radio TV. He discusses his upbringing in Canada, his twin brother Doug, business losses, fires, spiritual experiences, the founding and development of BBS Radio TV, soul wealth, and future plans for the platform.

Speaker 4 - Prerecorded Song Vocal
Donald introduces a musical piece made from one of his brother Doug's poems. The following lyric passage is treated as a prerecorded song segment rather than live dialogue. Several lyric lines are too garbled in the source transcript to reconstruct with confidence.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Today, I am so honored and grateful to welcome Donald Newsom. He is one of the twin visionary founders behind BBS Radio TV. We're going to hear about lessons from the ranch and business, fires and rebuilding, faith and awakening, and soul wealth. We'll learn how to explore our gifts and how he helped create a pioneering platform for voices and ideas that matter.

It's one universal voice, building a network of life and transforming vision, struggle, and creativity into voices that matter. BBS Radio TV gives Sound Pathways, and so many distinctive voices, a home and a platform to share globally and make a difference.

The original vision began with Don, an innovator and a man of deep, abiding faith. His belief in a loving divine presence inspires his service, peace, compassion, and change. His brother joined him afterward with his gifts in technology, creativity, writing, and connecting people and ideas. Together, their talents and shared purpose built this platform for important voices.

I am just so grateful for their extraordinary kindness and support of Sound Pathways. It has really made a difference in my life, and I feel grateful that I can share, that guests can share, and that listeners can embrace the messages. As you listen, consider what gift, challenge, or voice may be asking to serve through you. Thank you. Here you are. You're always amazing.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Well, it's a pleasure. Thank you so much.

You know, I haven't done a lot of interviews because we just don't have a setup for that sort of thing. Our setup is really for remotely handling things. So I don't do a lot of interviews, although I've done a few recently. Before that, it had been years. I enjoy it. I mean, I'm a talker. I love to talk.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
And you're a thinker.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Well, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
And what a voice you have. It's really made for media.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Well, thank you.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
I want to talk about how it all began in Canada. From your early days, I read that you were punching cattle on the ranch and learned about responsibility, hard work, and perseverance. You watched your father rise and fall and find the courage to begin again. How did those early lessons shape your ability to rebuild, reinvent, and invent yourself?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
I must say, my folks were a huge advantage because they were very loving, very intelligent, very kind, hardworking people. We had great parents. You can't always say that. I see that a lot. In fact, it's rare that you have two very awesome parents.

My mother was a little more conservative. My father was wild. He was like a wild stallion. By that, I mean he loved adventure. He sought out glory and money, and for him it was all a game. He would bet the farm every time. If he made quite a bit of money, he would just as easily walk away from it if he didn't like the people. And I mean walk away from the money - millions - and never turn around. Or he would, figuratively, bet on black and put it all on black. He wasn't a gambler, per se, as far as chips and cards, but he loved a gamble in business. The bigger the risk, the greater the reward, the way he always put it.

We learned a lot from both of them. There was a very interesting dynamic between the two, and Doug and I got to feed off both. It was an adventure.

I was born in Canada. My father got into ranching, and it was a rather large ranch. He first wanted to get into timbering, taking timber off quite a bit of northern British Columbia, but then the NDP got in and they weren't going to have any of that. So he had a difficult time. Then a very expensive timber mill burned down. You're talking tens of millions. It was just horrifying.

When that burned down, he slowly went into cattle. He went into cattle to save the ranch, and then beef prices fell. They fell right out of the bottom.

We probably lived in this place - I think it was 56 bedrooms - with a double winding staircase, and the cookhouse was 4,000 square feet. Everywhere you looked, from the rivers to the lakes to the mountains to the streams, he owned it all. You'd fly different places in the little planes. It was a fairy tale for a little while. We were about six, and then he went pretty broke.

Christmas used to run until New Year's. They would cut this massive Christmas tree, bring in these huge workhorses, put the tree on a massive sled, and take forever getting it set up. You'd get everything on your list. You could have a three-page list and you got it all. But what was weird was that the next day after Christmas there was even more. You'd open gifts forever, and the next day there was even more, all the way until New Year's.

Then, when he lost it all, I remember that year my mother gave me a belt and socks. She said, “Well, this is a good lesson for you. You're not always going to have what you want, and there are ups and downs in life.” But they were extreme - very extreme ups and downs.

Then we ended up in one of the worst places in Canada, in Vancouver. We saw kids who were murdered, drug addicts, people in terrible circumstances. We lived there for a spell and couldn't wait to get out. There were these big malls in a very dilapidated area. We spent a few years being really broke.

Then, when I was nine, my father decided to [unclear phrase in source transcript] start all over. He knew a lot about mining - gold, silver, and base-metal mining - and he went back into that. He did very well again.

My brother and I started working when we got to about 15 or 16 years old. We moved up the ladder quickly because he was our dad, and we messed everything up. We were young, naive, full of vim and vinegar. We didn't know anything. We were cocky, arrogant, foolish, and it cost him a lot of money.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Wow. It's amazing that you observed your dad having such extreme wealth and everything you could dream of, and then having so little. You witnessed both ends.

That makes me think of the fires you endured. I can't even imagine; I would shudder at one. You lost everything more than once, and you rebuilt with such dedication. What did you learn from all the times you've lost everything? What did you learn can't be taken away, and how were you able to take even the first step?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
That's a tough thing. What do you learn in situations like that? I can tell you that I still wake up sometimes in fits because I can't believe the loss.

I have a pretty interesting family, being a Newsom, and a pretty interesting family lineage in Europe. I was given a lot of things, and I collected a lot of things. Some were things where there might be only one or two copies or one or two examples in the world. They were so valuable that you might not even be able to put a price on them.

I had six massive boxes of pictures from everybody, and almost an entire collection of mint U.S. stamps. I bought out a comic store, and I filled a five-bedroom home from ceiling to floor. I set aside the most expensive ones and all the books where my dad had said, “Don't ever lose this. There's only one,” or, “There are only two copies of this. You never want to lose this book.”

I wanted my kids to have an adventure. I didn't want them to just have money when I died. I wanted them to have the adventure of a lifetime. I spent my life building that, with every cent - sometimes five, ten, even fifteen thousand dollars a month - going into all this stuff for years. And it was taken away from me just like that.

So what did I learn? I learned that it isn't fun. It isn't something anybody should ever have to go through. I've never collected a thing since then, and I never will. It's just too dark for me. I couldn't do it.

But I did learn one valuable thing, the most important takeaway from losing everything. I have lost everything three times, nothing quite as severe as that. My brother and I did quite well. We started over a dozen companies. We were go-getters. We went through a flood, a fire, and another fire - two fires and a flood.

Then there was a situation with a person we were dealing with whom I regarded as very corrupt. We made a deal for 50 percent of a company. We had 430-plus accredited investors. They signed the accredited-investor forms; they were Doug's and my friends. All that information and all my contacts burned up in the fire, too.

The people we had worked with ended up getting lawyers involved, turning it into a private situation, and, in my view, screwing everybody out of their holdings, including Doug and me out of our 50 percent and every shareholder we had.

The takeaway from all of it is: don't dwell on the past. It's gone. That's a valuable lesson I had to learn. It's so important. You have to let it go, especially if it's money. If you can't let it go, if it means more than it should, you're missing something. I'm still trying to learn that, by the way. It's a repetitive thing for me. It has happened so often that now it's starting to be drilled into me. I'm getting my bearings on it now.

Don't worry about the past. Forget it. It's the past. Just move on.

A lot of people end up in much worse situations. In that Paradise fire, people lost their lives, pets, family members, and homes. That didn't happen to me. I was still able to continue. I was young, I had my twin brother, I had a good family, and I was able to pick right up and start over without really missing a beat.

BBS Radio was something I started because, when we were losing out on that company we were working with, I wanted a hobby. I was meeting very, very interesting people. I went through a spiritual phase. When you lose so much, you can't quite understand it. You get into that “woe is me” place, and then you really get in touch with your inner child, your inner knowing, your inner self. You read every book you can find and you just go deep. That's what I did.

That opened me up to some interesting things. Then some very paranormal things started to happen, and people started contacting me. I wanted a way to share that.

BBS Radio became a way for me to share things I found important but that I felt the media wasn't talking about. They were talking about 9/11 and what really happened. In my view, they weren't talking about the money lost at the Pentagon, or my belief about what went into the Pentagon. They weren't talking about UFOs and alien life forms, which I believe visit and spend time here. The people I had met had knowledge. I had some experiences, including physical experiences, and they had knowledge because they worked on some of this stuff.

I couldn't believe that nobody knew, and I wanted to create a forum where people could talk about these things without censorship. That was the key. There are many life-changing things, and not being allowed to talk about them or discuss them in an open, safe forum - I think that's wrong.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Wow. You really made that happen. It's amazing. It's beautiful. What does BBS stand for?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
BBS stands for Blog and Broadcasting Service. We started out as “Blog in Service,” a blog in service to others. As we were starting that Blog in Service, it later morphed into Blog and Broadcasting Service - BBS.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
That's beautiful. How long did it take to merge into the TV and radio aspects?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
We were there by 2004, 2005. I had started tinkering back in the late 1990s, and I did it slowly. I've never been in a radio station, and I've never been in a TV station. I don't know how they do it or what they use. I never cared. I still don't care.

All I had was tinkering around a bit. I realized I could put something together that would allow a few of us to discuss these strange events and let people listen on the internet. When I figured that out, people started tuning in and saying, “Hey, I want to call in. I have a question.” So then I figured out that aspect. Eventually it was just a little bit more and a little bit more.

About five years later, Doug, my twin brother, joined me. We started moving really well at that point because I had help. It was around 2009 or 2010. With his help, the workload got a lot easier, and we were able to really start growing.

We got into video, audio, and remote production. I think we were one of the first two companies to remotely engineer web media. The other company I knew was VoiceAmerica. I heard from someone who owns a media company that they may not remote-engineer web media anymore, but I didn't check because, again, I don't care what other companies do. I never did. I don't know what they do, what their ideas are, or how they do it. I figure, if you can't be original, then who are you? I've always developed things in my own mind.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
It's amazing how you merge your business ideas, your spiritual ideas, your willingness to serve, and your curiosity. That's the way we should all live.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
It was very organic. It's like it was meant to be. It's weird when you work on something and, organically, for no other reason, it just becomes a beautiful enterprise. It starts blossoming year after year. It was never really my intent. It just became. It evolved.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
You have so much passion. You're like an Energizer Bunny. You just keep going, whatever it takes.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
There's no air conditioning here, so I'm just letting you know. You can see me sweating, and I'm sweating for real. It's Texas weather and our AC units are being worked on. I couldn't find a fan, so please bear with me.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
What's the temperature outside?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
I'm not sure. I stay inside when it gets this hot. I believe probably 98, maybe, I guess.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
It's amazing. I wish we could send you some breeze. But you just plow through it. So many days, whatever happens, you're ready to give more. It's really a testimony. It's an amazing life.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Thank you. You make me sound like I'm putting every moment into this. Actually, I'm just having fun. I mean, I don't have to work a day in my life. I get up around seven in the morning. I work seven days a week until around 10 p.m. I love it so much that I don't get tired of it. I smile when I get up and when I go to bed. It's a real joy.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
That's amazing. So inspiring.

One thing you've said is that we're mirrors for one another and that love is reflected back. What does it really mean to become a loving mirror and help another person see their goodness?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
I always think that, if you're not of service to others, you're missing something. A lot of people say, when you get on a plane and the plane is going down, don't forget to put your mask on first; everyone else can wait. I always thought that was a big joke.

I've had somebody say, “No, no. It's because you've got to put yours on so that, if you're safe, then you can help others.” Look, if I've got kids there, they get the mask first. I promise you.

I think the world has gone a little backwards. If you're not of service to others, then you're missing out on the greater part of yourself. You're the greater me. You're the greater part of me because there's so much out there, and it is all me and I'm all it. Therefore, all this vastness everywhere must be the greater part of me. I love that.

If you choose to be of service to others, I think somehow that wins you more points, maybe.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
And you do it with so much compassion. It's really beautiful.

It's also very special, your relationship with your twin brother, and the strength of going through all those hard things together. What a difference that must have made. Was Douglas a little more technically oriented, business-oriented, or what did he bring to the table?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
My brother can write and put documents together, do underwritings and financings, put prospectuses together, and put the numbers together and crunch them all. He loves to research data and build. He's really a financial builder.

He can raise money because he has a very eloquent way of speaking. He'll sell you, no matter what it is. He's really good at it. He brings financing ability, the ability to keep things financially organized, and the ability to put the financial instruments together necessary for a company to thrive. That's important.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
That's a great balance. Is he also creative?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
He's very creative. He sings. He writes a lot of poetry. He used to study under Phil Mattson, [additional musical-training reference unclear in source], and he did that for about five years. He had been singing for a decade before that. He's spent his lifetime singing, writing music, and writing poetry.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Does he bring that to the station - a show where he reads his poetry and sings?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Oh, yeah. I've turned several of his poems into music that plays on our station.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Wow. I'd love to hear that. What's the name of one of them?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Do you want to hear the little one?

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
I sure do.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Let's see.

Speaker 4 - Prerecorded Song Vocal:
If I could reach out and hold your heart,
I'd stave off the dawn and return the stars,
Carry your name through the wind,
Cross the seas and back again.

If I could just [unclear lyric] all your tears,
Carry them with me through the years,
Showering the earth a million times over,
Covering the land with four-leaf clover.

To be or not to be.
To be or not to be.

If I could just [unclear lyric] your hands in mine,
I'd banish the seasons for all of time,
[Unclear lyric involving angels],
And open all our eyes so the world could see them.

To be or not to be.

But if you didn't find that [unclear lyric],
I would tear out the flowers, cut down all the trees,
Banish the birds, banish the bees,
Banish the water from ocean to ocean,
Level the mountains, hold the wind's motion,
Rip out the sky and tear it asunder,
Snuff out the stars, [unclear lyric involving spring and summer],
Until from the surface everything dies.

To be or not to be.
To be or not to be.

So it would be best to give me your heart,
[Unclear lyric involving tears],
And [unclear lyric] your hands forever in my own,
[Unclear concluding lyric].

To be or not to be.
To be or not to be.
To be or not to be.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
It's a tearjerker, isn't it? Beautiful. It's amazing - the words and how it's done. I know you shared that it's AI. Some people on this platform are singers and composers, but it's beautiful to capture the meaning and the melody. It would be fun to hear a singer sing it, too. You did a great job.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
There is a singer who was so taken by the song - a singer of note - and they're still talking about possibly putting it on an album.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Wow. I love it. It makes me think about being good, being of service, being who we're meant to be, and not being taken by darkness or evil or anything that doesn't serve us in the highest and best, which you really represent. It's beautiful - the compassion.

There's a phrase - I think it might be Doug who came up with it - but it fits both of you and your mission: “soul wealth.” How is soul wealth different from financial wealth, recognition, and all of these things? How do all the things you've gone through, with the losses, the pain, and the victories, speak to creating soul wealth, which you have so much of?

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Soul wealth is all that matters, isn't it? Can you hear me?

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Yeah.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Okay. I switched something around.

Soul wealth, I think, is all that matters. Nothing else matters - not the money, not the cars, not the job, not even the relationships. Nothing matters more than your soul wealth. I think that's what we're all here to learn.

We might go through many people, many partners, here or on the other side. I think we're on this one big, long, crazy journey that never ends. And what a reward that is. Eventually, I think, we're growing into something, each and every one of us, and we're growing together. There's something evolving here, and that's the journey. I'm looking forward to forever.

I think when we come here, it's really a school ground - maybe a playground, but a school ground. We can see that because, in my view, there are off-worlders that scribble little alphabets on fields. They're a little more involved than alphabets, but it's like, “Here's your playing blocks.” You're in a school. You're learning science, learning philosophy, learning etiquette, learning how to get along with people, learning how to be of service - what's important and what isn't.

You do this over and over again until you polish yourself. There are a lot of things I think we need to take away from this. Gratitude is most important, and forgiveness. Those are two key things: gratitude and forgiveness, including for everyone and everything you have a problem with.

That includes when you lose money. When that fire happened, even though I still wake up in fits because the loss was just so much, especially for my kids, I've learned from it. I had envisioned my four beautiful kids and their beautiful kids having the time of their lives with all those things. They're never going to see a picture of my mother - well, they might if I can find one.

But gratitude and forgiveness are really the key. I've learned now to be grateful even for that fire. Look, I'm evolving. I'm still trying to get there. It isn't easy. You don't just wake up one day and say, “Hey, I'm okay with it.” But I'm trying to get there because there is so much value in understanding that. When that much is taken, there can be value in what you learn from it. That's the real reward, and it's a lot when you finally understand what it all means.

I think it comes down to community and communication. Those are really among the most important things we can have and build. When we're gone and on the other side, I'll bet we'll have great memories. I'm thinking we're probably going to remember just about everything we've ever done and every conversation we've ever had. But I don't think we're going to care about the wooden house or the “50 bucks in the wall” [wording unclear in source].

It's going to be: What did we do? What joy did we bring somebody? Where was the community? Where was the grace? Place grace in your life. When you get grace or blessings from, let's say, the Creator, you have to extend that, too.

I think we're here on a journey, and we've been doing this for long enough that I would have to say most of us are narrowing it down to the refinements - what's really important. I find that those two things, community and communication, are the most important.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
That's beautiful. From what I've experienced firsthand, it's a lot about sharing. If you're just building wealth for yourself, that's not what it's about. It's that you share it. You are a mirror of the love you give, with compassion and so much joy. It's just beautiful.

I'm also thinking about listening - being a good listener and not listening while having this little judge going on in your head: “Oh, that's really weird. I've never thought of that. That doesn't make any sense,” or whatever you might be thinking, rather than just listening and accepting.

You can say, “That's what they're thinking,” even if you don't choose to take that on for yourself. This whole project is about listening - listening to the host because they have something meaningful they want to share, listening to the guest, and listening as an audience.

I really want to acknowledge each person who's listening right now. You're taking the time and being open to taking in, hopefully, some inspiration and some lessons. It's nice if we don't have to learn everything the hard way, if we can borrow a little from you and what you've learned.

On this show, one of my big hopes is sharing the concept of creativity, because I believe we're all creative. I think some people look at what someone else composes or creates and think, “That's not possible for me.” But we are all creative.

What I love is the concept of creating our dreams, because that's what it is. Creativity can be a bridge over our problems. We see how to put different parts together, and that's creating our lives. We're not just taking what comes to us. We can be proactive and create, which is something you're such an example of.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
I like the way you put that. I totally agree. I love the way you put that.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Thank you so much. I want to ask how we can support your dream. I know your dream is always expanding, as is your creativity. I want to pick your brain because I know you're creating even more and even bigger things. You had a GoFundMe project. I want to hear about that.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
We closed down the GoFundMe. We wanted $11,000, and once we got it, we didn't want another dollar. That's the second time we raised money.

We wanted $11,000 for new servers. Doug and I have a hard time coming out of pocket all the time. It's rough when you're constantly putting money into something you're trying to make money from. But we raised the $11,000. Most of it came directly through PayPal on our website. Once we hit the $11,000, we shut it down because we just didn't need any more.

A lot of people raise money and want to go way over - more and more money. One time, after the fire, Doug and I needed about $90,000, and we got it within 30 days. Then we were sending checks back - $25,000 checks - to people. We said, “No, we're not going to cash it. We don't need it. We got what we needed.”

What people are going to see here soon is what we've put together with bbsradio.com. Believe me, we're ready. We could roll this out now, but there's always one more little thing that needs to be done. It's a battle. We're dealing with those “one more things,” but we're rolling it out soon.

BBS Radio TV is going to be a sister site, but it's also going to be our host-development console. You're going to get a Google-, YouTube-, Facebook-type content-creation environment. The developer was explaining what I should be calling it: a content creator.

You'll have a sister site, but you'll also have tools with which you can create advertisements, get sponsors and advertisers, and schedule advertisements with your own calendars across your social networks. You'll be able to create short videos and images, and there will also be an AI chat that will help you.

We're trying to give hosts tools that will allow them to market, distribute, syndicate, and monetize their programs in a much larger way. These are tools we're going to be unleashing on you. I say “unleashing” because some people will be overwhelmed by them and never touch them, and some people will say, “Oh, thank you.” I don't know where you'll fit in. It's fun.

There's a development console and content creation for all of our hosts, guests, and musicians. They're going to be able to do almost everything we do, and a lot more with AI, with agents working on their behalf 24/7, literally.

And bbsradio.com is getting a facelift. It's going to be so vastly different from what you see now. Nothing will remain the same. The templates, code, and database work have been created. We've moved all of our files into a new server array, provisioned the servers, finalized various things, and now we're going to start implementing these new templates.

So all of that will probably happen around the same time. Things with bbsradio.com and bbsradio.tv will start coming out. And it's going to be [heavily garbled platform-description phrase in source transcript].

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
That is amazing. Wow. So inspiring.

I like the concept of one universal voice - that you bring so many people together. When you look at the shows and all the variety and impact they have in this web of people, ideas, information, energy, creativity, and consciousness, it's really amazing.

Each voice matters. People can call in, contribute, or simply bring their energy by listening, and they become part of this one voice. It's really beautiful.

And not everyone is the host of a show. We express our voices through relationships, work, and service. Harmony doesn't mean one person speaking at once or playing one note. It's when it comes together that we really feel, sense, and hear the harmony as we listen.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Yeah, that's the word. And we're going to give you community now. That is our goal.

You're going to be able to work with your guests in ways you haven't seen before. Your guests are going to have their own universe, which will allow them to promote, move, and distribute your information through our systems using their own admin dashboards. The same will be true for musicians and writers.

We're giving writers, musicians, hosts, and guests massive tools and integration systems where everything is very quick and easy, and it's going to work for them. It's going to be a one-stop creation, aggregation, and distribution system.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Wow. I love how you have visions and you make them happen. Once you've achieved one, you're on to the next one. It's a flow. That's pretty amazing.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Next year, I'd like to get into something else. I'd actually like to see - how do I put this? - the U.S. is probably one of the few countries that has remote engineering of internet media. I've never heard of many companies doing this in other countries. It might be their phone systems, internet systems, or whatever the case is. In some countries, it may be growing quite a bit now.

But I would like to see BBS in Germany, Britain, China, and Japan. I'd like to see a station in that language, with people from that country working in the station. It would be somewhat like franchising it, but we would own the majority of the company. That's what I want to see happening.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Wow. That'll happen. That's exciting. Global.

Thank you for all the blessings you give. I hope we all find more and more ways to invite people into this family of communication and connection. It's really beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your story, your brotherhood, and your faith in creativity and service, and for reminding us that creativity is not just what we produce. It's how we respond to life, imagine, build, solve, connect, transform, overcome, and begin again every day.

This has been so inspiring to me - what true abundance is, with the love, courage, wisdom, and all that we contribute. We're not competing. We're helping each other serve, and you make a platform for that and for the ways we complement each other.

Losing what we build does not mean we're losing what we are. We keep building and growing, and each voice matters.

Ask yourself: What are you creating? What's being created through you right now - in a project, a conversation, a collaboration, an act of kindness, or the courage to speak? It's one universal voice because we're all contributing and we're all listening.

Thank you so much. I love the way you speak and what you do. You inspire me every time. Blessings and love.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Blessings and love. I want to thank your audience for putting up with me. No matter when I would have done this, it's always going to be a rat race for me because it's a studio life for me, and I love it. But it comes with its own entertainment. Having no AC today - thanks for putting up with me, and thank you for tuning in.

You're such a wonderful person.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
You're a wonderful soul. Thank you so much.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
You're so brilliant and so beautiful, and the type of music you bring out - when I listen to it, you're a master. It does heal. Absolutely, it heals. I thank you for what you do, and I appreciate it, too. There are very few people who can master what you've mastered.

I used to play the violin for a few years, so I just love it.

Speaker 2 - Dr. Karen Olson, Host:
Thank you so much, and thank your brother also for all he's done. Bye for now.

Speaker 3 - Donald Newsom, Guest:
Bye for now. Thank you.
