Merging Passions as An Entrepreneur: Retail, Music, and Environmentalism with Ellie Rollins

Send us a text

In this episode, we drop in with multi-talented quantumpreneur, Ellie Rollins and talk about how she’s followed her intuition, passions and commitment to service to create a unique and synergestic blend of businesses in the retail, music and environmental industries.

Tune in and be inspired by her story of moving up through poverty as she went from the Bay Area to Hawaii and now Los Angeles, creating various entrepreneurial ventures: from a house cleaning service to her now thriving Landfill Diversion program and thrift-store businesses, and even crystal shops that serve as metaphysical healing spaces and music venues.

A true quantumpreneur operating by her “design” as a manifesting generator, Ellie shares several key beliefs she credits to her success and takes us through several entertaining stories along the way.  Her remarkable ability to generate abundance, even in the face of limitations, will leave you inspired and ready to tap into your own inner power.

Learn about the upcoming benefit concert she's hosting at her store Cabin Creek Crystals in Santa Monica for the people of Lahaina who lost everything in the wildfires to keep Lahaina lands in Lahaina hands, and the story behind her inspiration to give back.

All her kids were raised inHawaii and she has deep ties to

(00:44):
Hawaii.
And we're doing this podcast totalk a little bit about the
benefit that she's organizingfor Lahaina.
And before we get there, ellie'sthree passions that she works

(01:47):
We're so excited to have youhere today, ellie.
I really am inspired by all thework that you do and just the
beautiful soul that you are.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Thank you so much.
I appreciate you guys having meyeah.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Awesome, and one of the things to start with is how
did you get into thismulti-passionate entrepreneurial
venture with these threedifferent areas?
You embody the being of a truemanifesting generator who has
multi talents that she brings tothe table.
So how did this all come about?

Speaker 4 (02:25):
I guess it started I mean, I don't know like the
exact starting point, but Ialways wanted to be a singer and
a songwriter and I just never.
You know, when I was a youngerperson, life didn't evolve for

(02:45):
me in a way where that came intobeing.
And I took a class, actuallywith Michael Beckwith.
That is a life visioning class,and I was living in LA about 12
years ago and the reason I washere was to pursue music.
And in that life visioningclass, one of the things that

(03:13):
Michael Beckwith has you do andthere's also a life visioning
book which I definitelyrecommend is ask yourself in
meditation what is seeking toemerge through you at this time
and this place.
And I was really surprised thatI was, you know, thinking that I
was here to be an artist andonly an artist.

(03:36):
And then what was seeking toemerge through me was a bridge
between all of my artisticnature and then my business
nature, and this really far outthere idea came to me called
Live Artist.
Now, that's actually how Ifirst met Euclipton and I

(03:59):
realized that we have tocontinue to ask ourselves the
question what is seeking toemerge through us all the time,
because we're ever evolvingpeople and we also.
It behooves us to ask how canwe serve?
And also is the place that we're, you know, is the place that we

(04:22):
are participating in the worldand living the place that is
like the highest vibration forus.
So, once you get to the placeon the planet that is the
highest vibration for you, thenyou get to ask yourself how can
I serve this community and whatis seeking to emerge through me,
as me, at this time and thisplace?
Because, as the world'sevolving, how I can serve and

(04:45):
who I am is evolving, and so Ithink that's where it all began.
I realized that I actually wasa really passionate entrepreneur
and that I had many talents andgifts, and that singing and
writing music wasn't the onlyone, and that, because I started
out as an artist, I truly knewhow to serve that artistic,

(05:09):
sensitive soul, and so that'swhy there's been many iterations
of many different companiesthat I've had, and that they all
have this level of service that, at the core of everything I do
, it's about how can I be ofservice.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Wow.
Yeah, spoken like a truequantum preneur, Literally the
archetype the artist with thatentrepreneur business.
How can we fuse both?
And I love what you said aboutI think this comes from Michael
Beckwith actually about how lifehappens as you, how you evolve
as you go through yourconsciousness journey from life

(05:47):
happens to you to life happensby you, right that's the next
one, and then through you.
Through you and then as you.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Yeah, yeah, those four levels of consciousness.
I've definitely memorized itand I describe it a little bit
different.
We have four levels ofconsciousness, and the first one
is it's happening to me.
Right.
And then the second one is I'mhappening to it, and then the
third one is it's happeningthrough me, and then the fourth

(06:17):
one is I am it.
And my goal is to live in aspace of it's happening through
me.
I feel like when I am it, Iwon't be in the physical body
anymore, so I'm not like makingthat my goal, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Gotcha so cool.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
So, yeah, it really helps put into contact some of
our life stories as we've movedaround and there's certain
modalities where you canunderstand what parts of the
globe you might have aconnection with and what might
be the highest vibration for you, and so I wanted to anchor it
into where you are now and howyou navigate all these different

(06:59):
businesses that are a naturalbyproduct of who you are.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I think where I am now is a little bit of coming
back to center, and you thinkit's easy as an entrepreneur or
at least for me to getdistracted and becoming someone
who's highly productive and youknow, I always see potential.
So there was a moment where Iwanted my company, cap and Creek

(07:29):
, to be a national brand and Istarted an online store and I
got a little bit away fromreally asking myself what brings
me joy, what is seeking toemerge from me, how can I be of
the most service and alsoforgetting about that I matter
in that equation so huge andyeah.

(07:53):
And so I recently have beenexperiencing and still kind of
going through a level of burnoutand I sold a store and brought
in a partner for another storeand just have been meditating
more and, interestingly enough,I think I'm doing like the same

(08:16):
amount of work.
I'm just taking more time formyself and doing more things
that bring me joy and also justbeing gentler in my self talk
and knowing that my worth is nottied up and how much I can get
done, and it feels like more ishappening.

(08:38):
But I'm giving the opportunityto work more collaboratively and
it's, overall, more joyful andI think I just have to spend
more time really sitting with.
If someone volunteers to help medo something, is that the right

(09:00):
imperfect collaboration?
And I keep on going back to?
I believe it's something thatGandhi said, that the more work
that he has to do, the more timehe spends in silence and that
is something that I've startedpracticing and I started
teaching a class, atransformation class, and that

(09:22):
has that teaching people how tocheck in with themselves more
often and that's the key totransformation is really knowing
who you are and cultivating adeep relationship with the inner
divine helps make every step inour ongoing transformation more
in alignment with ourselves inthe universe.
So I think that's where I'm atnow, where I'm just doing an

(09:47):
ongoing inner check in more timewith self and then not just
moving a lot slower.
I hope that that answered thequestion but that's where I'm at
now isthat I know that I want my music
to grow and to be heard and Iknow that I really love Cabin

(10:09):
Creek and Beach Goddess crystalsbut I'm actually really happy
with them being stores that aresuccessful, that don't have to
be national brands, Like that'snot even a desire, and it was
really interesting that I wastrying to make that happen and
that and I think it's alsobecause there's like a shift in
the in myself and the planetthat the most important thing is

(10:32):
my music, sustaining what Ihave and working to growing
sustainability and othermunicipalities.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Wow, amazing, and I love what you said about what
Gandhi said how he gets moredone when he's in silence.
And that really resonates withwhat we teach our clients in our
Quantum Purnure Academy.
We teach them to align to theirjoy and when you're operating
in that level of consciousnessof joy, things happen in a

(11:02):
nonlinear fashion.
It's like timelines acceleratefor you and things just come to
you and on the outside it lookslike you're moving less right,
because there's less of thatdoing, and there's more of that
being.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Yeah.
So, I mean, I still really needto work on it.
Like I will say, this does notcome naturally to me.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
As a manifest generator.
Yep, yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
This is not, like you know, borderline workaholic.
My boyfriend's a therapist, andso I asked him.
I'm like, am I a workaholic?
And he's like I don't think so,because there's nothing you're
trying to escape, but you dohave a hard time standing still,
and so I'm thinking that thisexperience of burnout is a

(11:48):
really great gift, because I'mlearning to practice doing less,
like I had a fellow musicianjust call me this morning asking
me about what is the B line,which I didn't even know what
this meant until recently.
I might even be saying it wrong, but so when musicians do

(12:09):
professional gigs, they have allof their.
There's equipment that belongsto the venue, and so when
musicians are traveling, theysometimes enjoy knowing what the
list of the equipment andmusical instruments are that are
available to them, because thatmakes going from gig to gig

(12:31):
easier, and especially withsomething like the La Haina
Festival, where we have nineartists I think eight or nine
artists each day performing anhour set.
So, that's like a lot ofmovement.
And so Lance from this bandcalled the Strands that they're

(12:52):
performing, he reached out to meand he's like what instruments
do you have available for all ofthe artists?
And I just wanted to like die.
I was like none, I don't haveany.
That hasn't even occurred to me.
I'm like I've been so busy withX, y and Z that that didn't
occur to me.
And he was like, well, noproblem, I think he kind of

(13:15):
figured that, and so he offeredup instruments and a plan to
make that happen kind ofeffortlessly.
And I wasn't doing anything, Iwas just today.
It took everything I had to getout of bed and put clothes on,
and I know that my brain is likeyeah.

(13:37):
I don't own a pair of sweatsbecause I love to dress up and
I'm literally like how can Ifind cute sweats that look like
I'm ready for work, Like there'ssomething new emerging in me?
That is all about comfort,which is like incredibly, not
the normal way that I operate.
But I cannot tell you howexcited I am about loungewear to

(13:58):
the point, in the middle of theconcert yesterday or not the
middle, but at the end of theconcert that we threw yesterday
I put my pajamas on and I justdid not care.
I went and said good night toall the musicians.
You guys keep playing.
Have a good night.
Yeah, I washed all the makeupoff my face.
It's like this hippie calf-gannightgown.

(14:20):
I just did not care.
I'm like this is the best I cando and I'm so okay with it.
So that's definitely a newthing about me and having that
opportunity to feel like Ishould be out in the world and
promoting this benefit, butknowing that I just don't have

(14:42):
it in me, and then to get allthe support without having to
leave my house.
After this phone call, I'mgonna order some pajamas online
and some sweatpants.
Ha, ha, ha ha.
Or after this talk, excuse me.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, cliff did, and I talk a lot about how B comes
to A when we're doing our workand we're in alignment, and
burnout is just a naturalbyproduct of being out of
alignment for too long andhaving the priorities skewed.
So B coming to A is what we seea lot.
When people step into theirbeingness and into their

(15:19):
alignment, instead of A movingthrough space and time to get to
B, it's like B just shows up.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I also in this class that I'm
doing.
I'm asking what do we do whenopening meditation?
And then I ask people everysingle time what is seeking to
emerge through you, and then wedo journaling about that and

(15:47):
then we ask ourselves what thenext indicated steps.
And it used to be in my life,all these action steps and now
and it used to be thesegrandiose ideas and I'm just
like I'm just entering into anew phase where what just keeps
on coming up for me issimplicity and asking for help.

(16:11):
Yeah, so cute.
Take over and over again.
Yeah, Give other people theopportunity to serve.
Like I've created thisframework.
I don't need to do all thething and I'm excited that I
don't have the desire to anymore.
Like that's pretty mind blowingto me.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, and I think it might be good to give a little
bit of context of where you'recoming from, so that the
listener doesn't think that, oh,you know what, I should just be
in swaths all day and not doanything.
There's an aspect of Ellie thatneeds to be established, I
think.
Yes.
Recognize what it is you'recoming into alignment to, and

(16:55):
that can speak a few moments tothe high performing nature of
yourself that maybe you wereover high performing that you're
coming back into alignment to,rather than just sitting on your
couch all day, kind of a thing.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah, and my idea of not doing anything is deciding
to stay home and promote and beon phone calls and participate
in your podcasts and there'sstill like 20 things and that
feels like doing nothing to me.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, it's like you've been running with 50
pounds on your back and nowyou're just taking the 50 pounds
off, but you're still running.
Yeah.
You're still doing a lot ofthings, yeah, yeah.
I think that's a nuance to getclear on so people understand
that you are moving forward andyou are doing a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
In comparison to what you were doing it seems like
less, but you've put in a lot ofwork.
I mean you're in a uniquelifestyle.
The way you've cultivated yourown environment, I think is a
really fascinating point oftopic for a second to discuss is
where are?
You, and how did you combineeverything that you have in your

(18:08):
living space?
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, yeah.
I think also there is greatvalue in understanding that I
did used to get.
What used to be in alignment forme was a lot of action steps,
and when I talk aboutmanifestation or I coach people,
when I ask what is seeking toemerge through me and it comes

(18:31):
up for me and then I ask whatthe next indicated step is, I do
not hesitate, like whatever itis, I go into action and I do it
.
I think there's two things aboutthere's lots of value in that,
but the things that come up forme are when you listen to your

(18:54):
inner self and you get an actionstep, whatever it may be, and
then you go and take action onit or subconscious the
information that you trustyourself and that you will take
action, and so what ends uphappening as a byproduct of that
is that your intuition justgrows to be more and more

(19:14):
powerful and you get divinemessaging quicker because your
brain and your consciousness andyour soul is like well, she's
really listening and the thingsthat the guidance that she's
given is not falling on deafears and that's like all inside
job right, like it's just likemy self knowledge knows that if

(19:35):
I get a message, I'm gonnafollow it.
And I mean when I started myvery not my very first, but in
the early days of myentrepreneurial journey, I would
wake up and do this processevery single morning of the free
right and the asking for thenext indicated step, and I would
recheck in if the thing thatand the project that I was

(19:57):
working on was still what I wassupposed to be working on or
what was in alignment for me.
And I'll always remember thatone day I got this message and I
tell the story a lot to go tothe coffee B&T we found Wilshire
, which is not there anymore,and wait for the red-haired
woman to speak to me.

(20:17):
And I just like.
I was like okay, sounds like aplan.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
And you know.
Okay, spirit.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
I mean there was some doubt.
I've got to say I was like whatis going on and at the time,
like I didn't have the money togo spend, I had just landed in
LA and I think I had like 20bucks to my name, so going to an
expensive coffee house was noton my radar, but I was just like
, well, I'll buy the cheapestcoffee and I'll sit there as

(20:51):
long as I can.
And it only took like an hourand I ended up feeling pretty
high vibration the whole entiretime because anytime my brain
was like what are you doing?
I have this practice of justsaying thanks for sharing.
You know, I don't engage.
I don't like engage with my ego.
I just am like thanks forsharing and I always compare it

(21:12):
to like if you have a childthrowing a tantrum you don't go
down to the child and be likeengaging in that conversation
with the child.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
You're just like oh, you're upset and you pick the
child up and you leave thegrocery store.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yeah, and you're like you might need a nap.
That's kind of how I treat myego.
And so I sat there and thisbeautiful woman, talia, gorgeous
red hair.
She walked out of the coffeebean and teemed me if I was
sitting like on the patio area,and she commented on my cute
outfit Like she has amazingstyle.

(21:45):
And I'm like, oh, thank you.
And then I just told her Idon't recommend this to
everybody.
But I just told her like hey, Iwas divinely guided to wait for
the woman with the bright redhair to speak to me, and you did
, and so would you like to havea conversation with me and see
like why she was totally open?
She was completely open to it.

(22:07):
She sat down with me.
The project I was working on wasall about live streaming music
and she was very well connectedin the music industry.
And she was also like needy meas well.
She had been working onproducing a film with a business
partner for years and shecompletely used all of her

(22:28):
financial resources to the pointwhere she did not know how she
was gonna pay her rent.
And at the time I was likerenting someone's couch to live
on and I just started a job, soI had the really good income
coming in, but I was like inthat middle point where I didn't
have any way to put a downpayment on an apartment and LA

(22:50):
is so expensive, and I was justlike I'm just gonna live on this
couch for however long, I'mjust gonna live on this couch.
It was in Mar Vista and she waslike I have this rent control
department in downtown SantaMonica for only $1,200 a month,
but I'm really worried that I'mgoing to lose it.
And I was like, well, yourapartment's way cuter than this

(23:13):
couch, and so I could come livewith you and you could stabilize
, and I could stabilize and wecould work together and I'll
just pay 100% of your rent.
And so that's what we did.
So having that confirmation thatwhen you just take a risk on
yourself, then helps you in yourentrepreneurial journey take

(23:37):
more risk on yourself.
And every time things have goneawry for me, it's because I let
the influence of somethingoutside myself mainly people
deter me.
And so the new lesson orreminder is not to share my
divine ideas with people thatcan't be trusted with them, and
what I mean by that is thatthey're not going to hold them

(24:01):
in the highest vibration.
So I let things be worked outwithin me and spirit and then,
once it's ready to share, I makesure that it's with somebody
that is really trustworthy withmy ideas and my dreams and my
thoughts.
I don't think we got to whatyou were talking about, clifton,

(24:23):
about getting context.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
I think we did.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
You did Okay, Well yeah, I mean, I think that was
beautiful and a wonderfulexample of intuition and being
that quantumpreneur, listeningto this higher guidance and
where we were going with.
That was just how you've cometo be where you are now actually
physically, where you fused allof these passions together in

(24:46):
where you're currently livingand having this podcast.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yes.
So what happened after that isthat I learned a lot, and
Clifton knows that that ideanever came to fruition.
I still think maybe it will oneday.
But it taught me so much aboutmyself and what I was capable
with and like the kind of peoplethat I want to work with.
So it's kind of funny that herewe are again, and then I felt

(25:11):
divinely guided to move back toHawaii to be close to my
children, and I went to work forthe four seasons and they're an
amazing organization.
But I was starting to realizethat I felt like I was
unemployable and I realized,because I had all these ideas

(25:37):
and desires and ways, that Iwanted to do things and they
just couldn't be like, theycouldn't be experienced or
explored working for someoneelse.
And so I just out of nothing,started a housekeeping company
and it was a practical side ofme, because there is a big need

(26:00):
in tourist places to havehousekeepers, because there's
just so much tourism and traveland it's a really great way to
create your own schedule andyour own freedom.
Rick Rubin talks about how thatyour passion doesn't have to be
how you make money, and I thinkas artists and entrepreneurs

(26:24):
and dreamers and people that seeendless possibility, that we
know it's possible for ourpassion to be the way that we
make money.
But it doesn't have to be thatway, and sometimes that puts too
much pressure when you'recultivating and growing a dream,

(26:47):
and so just doing somethingthat supports your dream and
supports your lifestyle and isof service can be a really great
bridge.
And so I decided that if I wasgoing to do something like
cleaning houses, then I wouldjust do the best possible job,
and so I got all these superhigh end clients and I networks

(27:08):
myself to real estate agents andI have this great desire to do
design, and so I started doingstaging, and then that turned
into working for an interiordesign firm and it just like
kept on growing and growing andI got to have more and more
freedom and then once again, Irealized that I didn't want to

(27:29):
work for another company, and sothen I ended up going back
within and asking what wasseeking to emerge through me,
and it was open, a thrift store,which I was just like oh my God
, why?
And it ended up being becauseit's like just truly a need,

(27:52):
like any thrift stores doing inlandfill diversion, there's so
many opportunities to servecommunity.
I started with my rent moneyand I did a Facebook campaign to
help to close the homeless.
Every Sunday, like it was justso many opportunities to serve,
I did a dress for successprogram.

(28:13):
I ended up becoming presidentof a children's charity that
helped kids that were in fostercare.
I mean, the amount of ways thatyou can serve when you own a
thrift store is kind of endless.
Workforce development I endedup working in prison,
reintegration like on and on andon.
What a life hack.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
I'll make a thrift store.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Yeah, I don't even thrift stores.
It's a really big life hack.
And I have this other ideabubbling up in me that one day
I'll create a franchise to teachpeople how to be their own boss
and entrepreneurs and servecommunity, all based on the
thrift store model that Icreated.
But I'm not doing it now, butthat's a thought.

(28:57):
It's brilliant, I love it.
I'm sure it'll eventually happen, but I'm not going to do it
alone.
And then that grew into alittle thrift store like mini
empire.
At one time I had nine thriftstores and then now I have seven
.
I sold one of my businesses,which was also a great

(29:17):
experience, and that's why thefranchising idea came up for me,
because I was able to createfinancial.
I was able to assist them onein creating financial stability
for themselves.
And then one of my I mean, it'sjust kind of a no brainer and
then one of my thrift storesended up reiterating into this

(29:40):
metaphysical healing space.
It was just like I startedevolving into a retail store
owner where I did all of myfavorite things.
I think that gets us to likewhere we are today, where now I
like get to sell crystals andsage and I'm obsessed with

(30:02):
jewelry and all the things thatI'm just like really excited
about are things that I get tooffer to other people.
And then I turned my back patiointo a music venue and then
there's an apartment above mystore and so that.
And then someone came in anddid a concert here and ended up
becoming my songwriting partnerand now I'm 80% done with my

(30:25):
first album.
So that was really interesting,that like I had let go of this
dream and like you were talkingabout earlier, it literally came
into my backyard and thought meout and so you created the
space for it, the container forit to find you.
So yeah, really beautiful.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Totally unintentionally yeah, but just
listening to the guidance, onestep at a time.
You know, a lot of times thepath is a little nonlinear and
how it looks like you don'tthink, oh, I'm going to go and
work for someone and then thathelps me create my business.
That's not like a logicalthought, right, but it creates
maybe sometimes that moreabundant mindset when we need it

(31:09):
.
So it doesn't put pressure onthe passion and what you're
describing about you know, thething that you do for money
doesn't have to be that passion.
We find that is very common,especially in manifesting
generators and human design.
We'll probably do a wholeepisode on human design for our
listeners because we keepreferencing it.
But something that is so key increating those beingness-based
businesses is understanding howyou naturally operate when

(31:32):
you're in alignment.
So manifesting generators tendto be the multi-passionate
entrepreneurs and they have alot of excess energy that they
could burn off.
So what they can do is createtheir side hustle and have their
job and their work, and theirjob doesn't have to be the same
thing all the time.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah, yeah.
Do people ever shift out ofbeing a manifesting generator?
You mean, like, where's the off?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
switch.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
I'm not a manifesting generator.
Do we age out ever?

Speaker 1 (32:07):
From what I've observed, they don't really
retire.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
I talked about retirement to Tom, my boyfriend,
and he looked at me like you'renever going to do that, yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Exactly, we go into that, some of the more societal
constructs and programming.
That just doesn't work forcertain energetic types.
Like Victoria's grandfather.
He walks more and does morethings than even his home
attendant at his age because hejust has so much energy.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
He's 94 now and he's a manifesting generator.
Yeah, he's like oh and he doesthe dishes and all this stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, and that's what's in alignment for him, and
so it's just interesting tonote those personalities.
And, ellie, you talk about yourjourney and I really appreciate
it.
One of the things that we alsotalk about is someone's unique
gift or ability, and it's oftenthose things that are so normal

(33:07):
or natural to an individual that, if you pointed out, you're
like, well, isn't that whateveryone does?
And something that I've seenand perhaps we can explore.
It is just your ability to bringin financial abundance, whether
it's within a community, andmaybe from there we can
transition to the concert youhave.

(33:28):
What is this gift of yours?
Like you just naturally talkabout oh I did this.
I made a lot of money.
I was successful.
I did that and I was successful.
If you look statistically,that's not the case, right?
So what is it about you thatcreates this kind of success?
What have you gone through andwhat is your just essence to a

(33:48):
team or to a community?

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, Clifton told me a story about how you had like
$1,500 as your budget for aproject and you did something
crazy with that amount that youhad.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
I remember the look on his face.
He showed up and he was likewhat are you doing?
What'd you do?
Yeah, so I produced acommercial for the app idea that
Clifton and I were working onwith $1,500.
It turned out really great.
Yeah, I think that's great thatyou point that out.

(34:19):
That actual incident.
One of my things is I will askanybody anything.
I don't believe in limitation.
I believe that people haveboundaries, but I don't know
what your boundaries are and Idon't know what is about, not
you personally, but of anyperson on the planet.
I don't know what yourboundaries are.

(34:41):
I don't know what yourperceived financial limitations
are, and so I just don't ever gointo any setting where I have a
request of anybody that thereis a limitation.
Bye my willingness to askpeople either really love about

(35:04):
me or really don't like about me, because some people don't want
to have to have a boundary.
You know, that's just like.
So, as I'm aging, I'm startingto realize I can use my empathic
, intuitive, psychic nature tobe a little bit more gentler
with people, but I just, I justdon't believe.

(35:26):
I just don't believe thatthere's any limitations.
I like, I try to tell my staff,or I tell my staff, every
single moment is an opportunityto have the best sales day ever,
and you never know who'swalking through the door.
And so, and we're all magnetsof our experiences.
So whatever is occurring in mylife, I magnetized into it and I

(35:49):
just I believe that I alwayshave a choice to change how to
tune my magnet.
And there's like the magnetismof my truth that is eternal and
existed before this physicalbody and like this after.
And then there's the thoughtsand the beliefs and the
attitudes and the emotion thatwill be in alignment with my

(36:15):
magnet or be out of alignment.
And the more I can get mythoughts and beliefs and all the
good stuff into to be inalignment if I'm making choices,
or in alignment, the faster I'mgoing to magnetize an
experience.
And I just believe that opulenceand abundance is the order of
every day and that anything thatis a limitation when it comes

(36:36):
to finances is a limitingconstruct that we have forced
upon ourselves that needs to bepurged because it isn't in
alignment with the truth of theuniverse, like we're in an ever
expanding, everywhere present.
There is no lack of resources.

(36:56):
So I have that and then I knowthat the world to me.
I believe that the world is amulti dimensional chessboard,
and so I can be at choice aboutwhat my energetic field is.
I'm not at choice about whateverybody else's energetic field
is.
So I'm just being open to amatch to my energetic field for

(37:22):
the thing that I am allowing tomaterialize, and so I just I
also just have fun with it.
I'm just like well, what wouldbe our day?

Speaker 1 (37:37):
today, yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
The joy part is really fun.
Sometimes I'm like what theheck?
Like you know, what was Ithinking?
And then I stumble and I falland then I remember how it felt
for the greatest manifestationopportunities I've had and I'm
just like oh yeah, I got this.
Telling the story of the reallyamazing things that you have
done is very empowering, becausethen you remember oh yeah, I

(38:03):
can totally do that, and thensharing them.
So I try to do today.
That's what we're doing.
$1,500 for commercial.
I like that $1,500 number forsome reason.
$1,500 for my first store Wow.
I started a company that has agross revenue of a million over

(38:24):
a million dollars a year withsomeone else's credit card.
They had like $10,000 on theircredit card and I had really bad
credit at the time and like noextra income.
The store I had at the time was, like you know, giving me my
lifestyle and I knew thattransportation, thrift stores
payroll was going to be around$35,000 every two weeks, but I

(38:49):
still started the company with aborrowed $10,000.
Wow.
And then by the end of 90 daysI was making net $30,000 a month
.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Wow Did you learn those skills from anybody, or
how did no?
No, I had no idea what the hellI was doing.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
I just I just ran the numbers.
I was just like, okay, it'sseventh thrift stores.
Here's what it would cost forall the people to work there.
Here's what the insurance iswould cost.
Here's what my thrift storedoes.
Here's what the potential ofwhat all these thrift stores
could do.
Here's the worst case scenarioof what they could do.

(39:34):
And then I'm like is that wortha $30,000 risk the first month?
And I was like sure the worstit's going to happen is I'm
going to fall flat on my faceand fail and they'll give the
contract to somebody else.
The best thing that's going tohappen is I'm going to become
wealthy in one year.
Yeah, Wow, and I love the quote.

(39:56):
Oh, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
I was going to say I love the quote you said a little
bit earlier.
What was it about?

Speaker 4 (40:03):
opulence and abundance, opulence and
abundance are the order of theday.
I don't know, is that?

Speaker 1 (40:09):
like a mantra of yours that jumped out at you
when you said it.
And I was like oh, I like that.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
Yeah, cause I feel like opulence is more about
experience.
Like I my intention setting, alot of the time is surrounded
about around creating an opulentexperience for myself and
others.
That seems to be something thatcontinues to come up for me all

(40:36):
the time.
And so my first thrift store Iwanted to create an opulent
experience for people with afair price.
So, like everything was washed,everything was clean, people
would walk in and be like, whyis this so beautiful?
It says thrift store outside,and that just continues to be

(40:58):
like a repeated mantra for me.
Like I want to set intentionsto give, I want everyone to know
that an opulent experience isavailable to them.
I think some people are livingin this world where they think
that that's something that otherpeople do, and I grew up with
extreme poverty.
Wow.
And I I don't nest Well.

(41:20):
So I had a really interestingthing happen.
Like my mom is a drug addictand we moved all the time and we
lived in extreme poverty andhad food insecurity.
Wow, I lived in the Bay Area,where and it's similar in here
in LA where you could just go tothe next town and you see some

(41:41):
of like the wealthiest people inthe world, and I figured out
that I could get an innerdistrict transfer and go to a
really good high school and Ijust had to take the part train
and I figured out that, like,style is affordable through
thrift stores and I had reallywealthy friends.

(42:04):
No one ever knew that I, youknow, was growing up in poverty
and I started making money, likereally young, and I was like 17
years old and making more moneythan my friends that had
college education.
I just, I was just like, oh,this is just like a belief
system.
All I have to do is like takethe bar train into a different

(42:29):
energetic field of a differentbelief system and I don't have
to live in the ghetto.
Wow, that's really nice.
Yeah, like I could just, and Ilike work, I enjoy work, I think
there's value in work.
It's like, oh wow, I can justtravel on a bar train, get off

(42:50):
and be in Walnut Creek, get areally good job and have a nice
place to live and raise a family.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
I think I'd rather do that.
You just teleported into a newreality.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
I just think that you know, that was a really good
experience like, oh, this isreally bad experience.
Yeah, I can just make adifferent choice.
And so each time I'm having abad experience, I'm like, well,
maybe I should make a differentchoice.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
It's beautiful.
I love the simplicity.
Yeah.
Sometimes people, myselfincluded, can get dragged into
the details and that details arethose anchor points to prevent
change and shifts.
And I wanted to hear how you'vecreated this kind of experience
on Main Street right Down inSanta Monica, cabin Creek

(43:41):
Crystals.
Like you walk in, you feelopulence.
I mean it helps that there'scrystals everywhere.
But how have you been able tocreate this kind of environment
and where you're hosting thisconcert?
How were you able to combinethis belief system with actual
physical opulence of crystals?

Speaker 4 (44:07):
I used to say earlier , clifton, that the things that
seem special about certainpeople, we don't realize that
they're special because they'rejust like how we operate.
So for me it was just like itcame pretty naturally.
It seemed like not even aquestion.
I have this hobby of going onLoopNet because I'm a little bit

(44:31):
obsessed with commercial realestate, and so it was during the
pandemic and I was at home inHawaii and I was just browsing
LoopNet on my phone and I sawthis space and I was like I know
exactly where that is.
That's right next to BuffaloExchange.
Like that's the store, yeah,that's right.

(44:52):
Ding, ding, ding.
And what's really funny, likeSide Note, is at one time I had
four crystal stores and all ofthem were next door to thrift
stores.
Wow, and I didn't, you ownedthem at the time.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
No, it's really interesting.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
So like I had this store, luhia Street Crystal
Company, and I had a store Iowned for Good Thrift, so that
was like the beginning, and thenI sold for Good Thrift and then
I rebranded Luhia StreetCrystal Company multiple times
and now it's in Waikawa, sowe're not next to a thrift store
anymore.
And then I had one in SouthLake Tahoe and it used to be a

(45:31):
thrift store and then I turnedit into a crystal store.
And then I opened one in Renoand it was a crystal store.
And then Freestyle Clothing,which is the similar or the same
business model as BuffaloExchange, moved in next to me.
Wow, I've sold that businessand Freestyle Clothing is still
there.
So it's a crystal store and athrift store.

(45:51):
And then this one showed up onLoopnet and there was Buffalo
Exchange right next door.
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
And so I was just like yeah.
It's like the evolution ofstorefronts, from thrift store
to crystal store to crystalstore music venue.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
Yeah, yeah, and I'm like, okay, there's a sign here
and I saw the pictures and itwas beautiful and it was
actually like affordable forMain Street.
I was in no position to open acrystal store.
I had just opened two duringthe pandemic and I at that point
had three and I also at thatpoint had eight thrift stores at

(46:28):
the same time, so like there isno business to do another
crystal store.
But I just felt something thatwas special about this space and
I really felt it called to me.
So I just made a little promiseto myself that the next time I
was in LA, if the space wasstill available, I would go look

(46:50):
at it.
And this is part of my practicein I always know that the
chessboard is moving and so Idon't force things and I just
allow each next indicated stepto unfold, and it also helps me
to not put pressure on myself.
So I just like simply said andI think it's a high vibration
way to be like it's there, it'savailable.

(47:12):
When I happen to be in LA thenext time, then I'll go look at
it.
And I forgot about it.
And then I was in LA maybe sixmonths later and it came back
into my awareness and I lookedon loop net and it was still
available and so I said, well,if the leasing agent will see me

(47:35):
today, then I'll go look at it,okay.
Universe.
And so I called the leasingagent and he said I can meet you
in two hours.
And I'm like, okay.
So then I show up and the spaceis really, really beautiful.
And I walk into the courtyardand I'm like, oh my God, I could

(47:57):
turn this into the classroomspace or like a music venue.
That immediately hit me.
And then the leasing agent saidwould you like to look upstairs
?
I'm like what's upstairs?
And he's like come take a look,it's for rent too.
And so I walk upstairs and it'sthis really cool apartment and
I'm like are you kidding me?
What's going on, universe?
So then I didn't have theability to take on another lease

(48:26):
at that time because I wasmoving my Reno store into a
larger space because it had doneso well that we had outgrown
our space in a year.
We were doing like $600,000 in2021.
And so and it wasn't that Ididn't have the money, it was

(48:47):
that I didn't have the manpowerto open another store.
So I thought, well, if they'llgive me three months free, then
I can hold this space and thenin three months, when I have the
manpower, I can open a storehere.
So I looked at the leasingagent and I said I have no

(49:08):
business looking at the space.
I just really felt called to behere.
And I know this is kind of acrazy question, Remember that
whole.
I can ask anybody anything, butnow I'm being a little bit more
gentler about it, Like preface.
I know this is a crazy question, but if the owner of the
building wants to rent to me, Ijust won't be ready to do it for

(49:32):
three months.
I can put a deposit on it, butI won't be available to take on
the lease for three months.
So if she wants to give me thefirst three months free, then I
can go into a lease around this.
And he's like well, there's twoother offers.
There was like a mini war andhe's like but I'll ask.
Her kind of looked at me like Iwas crazy and I just was like,

(49:54):
well, you know, if it's meant tobe felt really good about it.
When I left, kind of knew thatI was absolutely going to get it
Super excited to be on MainStreet, was thinking about the
apartment, how to secure thelease on the apartment.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
You're doing the inner game work, yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
And then he called me and goes she really likes your
business plan, she's excited forwhat you want to do in the
space.
Wow, she is open to your terms.
And so, yeah, I'm like okay.
And then I was like I'd likethe apartment too, and so that's
what we did, wow.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Amazing.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
That's beautiful and in that business model.
Did it talk about the vision ofhow you would use the backyard
yet, or was it primarily?

Speaker 4 (50:44):
It was just a retail store and an apartment and then
I got her permission to use itas a music venue and she just
thought it was like the greatestidea ever.
She also is an interiordesigner, so she loves what I've
done with her space and she'scome to visit.
And then we ended up you know,our windows were bashed in,

(51:05):
which was a great opportunitythat we redesigned the whole
front facade of the store intolooking like a cabin.
So I was just like, hey, thanks, dude.
You know I it wasn't fun tospend the $6,500.
But it pushed me in a directionthat I really needed to go with
the business and you know thateverything is in alignment and
on brand and it helped me reallyfigure out what my brand really

(51:29):
is and what my priorities arereally and what I want to do.
And so that's why I ended upselling other stores, because
this became the place that wasrevealed to me that I really
want to be.
That's happened multiple timesaround Santa Monica.
That whole energy of like whatis the right, imperfect place
for you and for me it's Topangaand Santa Monica, like those are

(51:51):
the places that I vibrate thehighest Like it's kind of silly
that like I barely go back toHawaii now and it's because that
isn't the place anymore that Imove forward in.
It's the place that I refuel.
So I still love it and it'sstill my home.
But it's just like I do all theaction things of my life here

(52:13):
and then.
I go home and I refuel, I reset,and so that's kind of why I
always feel this call to alwaysgive back to Hawaii, because
it's always nourishing me.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Yeah, so as we're sitting here talking with Ellie,
she's sitting in her beautifulbackyard space at that Santa
Monica location of Cabin CreekCrystals where this benefit
coming up for Lahina is going tobe.
So, ellie, I'd love to hearmore about this benefit that
you've been organizing.
You said that you feel a callto give back to Hawaii.

Speaker 4 (52:53):
Yeah, the first way we talked a little bit about it
and I'll move into what we'redoing for Lahina is that I have
this landfill diversion companythat has really been sustaining
for me, for my children,everybody that works for me

(53:15):
there, and we've diverted over 7million pounds of things from
the landfill just on the bigisland alone.
Wow.
And I just, and my children arefrom Hawaii, and so my soul, my
financial life, my ability toserve, I have three very

(53:38):
successful children, meaningthat like they're just really
Emotionally well, spirituallyawake, contributors to society,
kind people, and I know that somuch of that has to do with the
fact that they were raised inHawaii and the beautiful you
know.
My ex has this beautiful familythat they come from as well as

(54:00):
me, and so I was sitting here inmy apartment in Santa Monica
and doing my morning Instagramscroll.
Sometimes I put my phone in mykitchen so that I have to get up
and make coffee to touch myphone, so it's not like the
first thing I input in my brain,but this was not one of those

(54:20):
mornings.
And just seeing the devastationof the fires on Nali, there's
just something about it becauseI love that land for all the
islands.
Oahu and the big island in Mauiare where I spent the most time
and so I just really feel tiedto them and all three of those

(54:42):
places have been really bigspiritual gifts for me, and Maui
actually feels to me like I'm apart of that land.
I've never had that experiencebefore.
I literally got off the planeand started rubbing the dirt on
me.
The first time I ever wentthere.
It was like that's a topic foranother discussion of my psychic

(55:07):
Taitamao, which I think a lotof people feel.
But anyways, though I'm watchingabout the devastation of the
line of fires and I every day, Ijust can't stop crying and
seeing that the whole entirecity has just town has burned to
the ground, like the school isgone, the post office is gone,

(55:29):
the grocery store is gone.
I don't think we can evenimagine.
Not only did you lose your homeand you lost your family
members, but you lost your wholeentire town and you're not
living in the restaurants, likeevery place you used to go to
visit, when you used to go visityour auntie and your uncle, and

(55:50):
then on top of it, there arereal estate developers that in
the middle of your morningtrying to purchase land, and I
felt very, a very unfamiliarfeeling for me, which was
disempowered, and I just thoughtimagine what these people are

(56:18):
going through and how that wouldfeel to lose so much and then
to have somebody be soinsensitive of what your needs
are and such selfishness.
And I think that as spiritualbeings, that I just can't stand

(56:40):
by and do nothing, and so Idon't have the means to solve
the problem, but I do have alittle music venue and a
wonderful community andfantastic friends and I can
throw a benefit.

(57:00):
So, without any thought, Ihopped on Instagram and started
bawling my eyes out.
You can find it I'm Ms EllieRawlins.
Go ahead, look at my cry facein my bed.
It's the most watched InstagramI ever have had.
She sucks, because every singletime I go on Instagram it's me

(57:21):
crying, because it's like wepost this.
It's doing really well.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
It was so beautiful and authentic.
I loved when watching that Ifelt moved to tears as well when
I watched it.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
It's just, you know, it's how I really feel, and it's
nice to talk about all the nicethings that happen in the world
, but it's important to talkabout the things that aren't so
great that are happening in theworld.
And I think it's even moreimportant to not allow people
that have less than greatintentions to be opportunistic

(57:55):
when people that are at theirmost vulnerable and I saw this
thing going around social mediaLahaina lands in Lahaina hands,
and I just think there's enoughcultural trauma on the planet
that it would be really nice tosee the people of Lahaina have
the opportunity to not bedisplaced.

(58:17):
It would be really great tostop this cycle, and I know that
I'm not going to do it alone,but I can take a step in the
direction, and so I put out acall to action on Instagram and
Facebook, and so many peoplehave responded, and so we now,

(58:38):
on October 7th and 8th, aredoing a aloha Aina for Lahaina
two day festival in our cutelittle courtyard, giving people
so many different opportunitiesto come together and feel, to
bring awareness to what'shappening in Lahaina, to get

(59:00):
money directly into the hands ofthe people who lost their homes
or have been displaced inLahaina.
Like the people that aren'thomeowners, that were renters
there, they deserve to stay intheir community, and the people
that are landowners, theydeserve to rebuild on their land
.
So that's our goal.

(59:20):
It's two days of music, vendorsand a silent auction, and so
right now, I'm just so gratefulfor every person that has
volunteered to perform and everyperson that has so far donated
for a silent auction.
We're just a little bit over aweek away and I'm still looking

(59:42):
for more donations and morevendors, and now we're in that
last push to get every ticketsold and just put as much
resources into the hands in oursmall way, into the people of
Lahaina and I know there's a lotof people doing things for
Lahaina, so we're specificallyfocusing money going into the

(01:00:04):
hands of the people so they cannot be displaced.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Yeah, when we were talking offline, I know you said
100% of proceeds are goingdirectly into the hands of the
Lahaina people.

Speaker 4 (01:00:15):
Yeah, we've decided not to partner with a nonprofit
at this moment in time becausenonprofits they have to charge
an administrative fee to be afiscal sponsor, and so we're
just going through GoFundMe sothat 100% of the money can be
donated.
None of the musicians aregetting paid.
I personally have purchasedplane tickets.

(01:00:38):
Local hotels are putting upsome of the musicians.
We're still looking for somemore rooms from people that are
traveling all over from Hawaii.
It's a mixture of Hawaiiartists and also Southern
California based artists.
And we have Kaleo Phillips, whois an amazing singer-songwriter
who lost his home in Lahaina,and some family members that

(01:01:01):
will be performing for two days.
So we'll just have anopportunity to do good, starting
with Kaleo, and then theFairmont Miramar has given us
two days free for him and hiswife to stay at a resort hotel.
Anything we can do to hold thepeople at Lahaina to give them a
good experience, I think isworth all the exhaustion I've

(01:01:25):
experienced.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
Yeah, and offline you were explaining what aloha aina
for Lahaina means in Hawaiian.
What does that mean?
Could you share with ouraudience, please?

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
Yeah, so I mean I'm first going to preface this by
I'm a holy girl.
I'm a white girl from the BayArea who lived on the Big Island
and still lives on the BigIsland half of the time for 20
years.
Luckily, my daughter hasstudied Hawaiian language and so
I've been able to be around alot of amazing Hawaiians and

(01:02:00):
language experts.
But I'm just going to prefacewith I might not get it perfect,
but it's my understanding thatthe word aloha is an
acknowledgement of the shared ha, which is our life essence and

(01:02:23):
our breath.
The beautiful thing that I'vediscovered about the Hawaiian
language is that every word ismulti-dimensional.
It, to me, is the mostbeautiful language in the world.
So when you greet someone, youwould, in ancient Hawaii and
still with Native Hawaiians andlocal people you would touch

(01:02:44):
your forehead and you would takea breath and you would
acknowledge the shared ha, theshared life, energy, the
exchange of life, whenever youwould greet or whenever you
would depart, and so that's whywe ended up loosely translating
that into hello and goodbye, butthat's not the meaning.

(01:03:06):
Or we would loosely translatealoha to love, and yeah, there's
that.
The love is the building blockof everything that we are and
we're exchanging our life,essence, we are exchanging love.
So it's really just like thisexchange of life and love and
our essences.
So that is the meaning, as Iunderstand it, of aloha.

(01:03:27):
So we here are going to behaving our Southern California
family and our Hawaii familyexchanging music.
So our benefit is aloha, aina,and aina is the land for Lahaina
.
So we're giving our aloha toone another and to the land and

(01:03:49):
to the people of Lahaina.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
Awesome, and where can people join or register to
give love to the land and thepeople of Lahaina?

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):

Aloha aina for Lahaina.
Events page on our website.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
Awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
That's beautiful, and I just want to preference the
sensitivity with which you'reapproaching this, because it can
certainly be a challengingtopic, a lot of emotions, a lot
of opinions on it, and so justyour ability to hone in and
focus on the people and reallytake that personal perspective

(01:05:04):
of supporting them is beautifuland it seems like a fabulous
although in challenging times, afabulous culmination of
everything that you've beendoing up until this point.
The music with the landfilldiversion programs, with the

(01:05:26):
crystals, it's all comingtogether to support the land of
Lahaina.
And so I just want to take amoment and just reflect that
back to you and really, reallyappreciate you for taking that
action and not just feeling theemotions but using that to

(01:05:47):
catalyze some form of a response.
We call that true alchemy, thatemotion of pain, of loss, of
disempowerment and reallycreating a step in that
direction of empowerment, assmall or as large as it may be,

(01:06:07):
to create a new narrative forpeople to focus around and to
connect with one another.
And just the fact that you'resharing breath between LA and
Hawaii, with musicians who singusing their breath, is a
beautiful mix and expression ofthat intention, and I know you

(01:06:30):
cover the challenging topic ofcultural appropriation with such
conscientiousness and justreally appreciate you being you
and an example for people to seehow you can take that cry face
in your bed and turn it into adifferent face.

Speaker 4 (01:06:53):
Yeah, you know it's not always fun to be sensitive,
but I think it's a lot betterthan the alternative.

Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
Yeah, and you're not hesitating to take the inspired
action, as you were sharingearlier in our conversation.
Just listening to the call.

Speaker 4 (01:07:15):
Yeah, I mean it's usually after you listen to the
call and you're in the like thisthick of the work that I am
like, oh my goodness, what did Ido?
But I know that when we get tothe end of this benefit, that
I'll be happy that I listened toand I'm so happy.
Now I'm just in, you know, aweek out and I just I need

(01:07:40):
everybody else to listen to thecall.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
Okay, everybody let's all do this together.
They're listening.
They're going to tune into thepodcast?

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
Yes, and I mean, and so many people have we talked a
little bit about, maybe tellingthe people that have listened to
the call, which that's beenoverwhelming and amazing and
very touching, and the peoplethat are willing to travel all
the way to Los Angeles fromHawaii has been just like such

(01:08:09):
an honor that they would trustme for them to share their
stories and their music andtheir time.
So I'm really appreciative ofthat.

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
Yeah, wow, what an amazing conversation.
Ellie, I'm really grateful andhonored to have you on our show
today and I learned a lot fromthis conversation about you
about like energetics and howyou use the quantum field and
the universe, and you're such anexample of inner radiance and

(01:08:41):
outer beauty and confidence.
So really, really grateful thatyou joined us today.

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
Well, thank you guys, it's been wonderful.
I'll just remember to havetissue the next time I talk to
you.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
And for you all listeners.
Thank you so much for joiningus in this conversation and if
you feel inspired and called tocontribute to the people of
Lahaina, we'll drop the linksbelow for you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
Awesome, and beyond the concert.
What's the best way for ourlisteners to get in touch with
you for any of the topics?
That we covered today.

Speaker 4 (01:09:20):
I'm really active on Instagram.
You might have noticed that I'ma tiny bit addicted to it.
So on Instagram we have twodifferent ways that you can
private message us or, you know,post or share our post.
Cabin Creek, santa Monica, isour business Instagram and then
my personal Instagram is missElleRollins, and you can contact

(01:09:45):
me through messaging me in anyway on both of those, or you can
tell me.
It's kind of long, elizabeth atCabinCreekCrystalscom.
I think Instagram is probablybetter because I received like a
thousand emails a day, so Iwill be honest that, like, I do
not read them all.
So I definitely recommend, ifyou want to speak directly to me

(01:10:06):
, to message me on Instagram.
If you want to help and you'renot feeling called to come to
the concert or donate money,just simply going to our page
and sharing any of the postabout the benefit.
Or if you want to do all of thethings like the more people
that see what we're doing, themore successful our event could

(01:10:27):
be.
