Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's say good morning now to the founder of National
bucket List Day. It's Cindy Lee.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Morning, Cindy, Helloha, how are you.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
We're great. So I think we all know what a
bucket list is. But how did national I mean, like,
what took it to the level where we said we
need to make a National bucket List Day?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well, actually it started at age sixteen. It was Princess
Diana's wedding and I sent her a card and that's
where my whole love for gratitude began because this national holiday,
it all resonates from gratitude. And I started doing a
lot of stuff that she was doing, giving back, doing
orphanage work, stuff like that. In twenty twenty, I became
(00:39):
an ambassador with National Day Calendar where I share a
national holidays, and just about three years ago I became
the founder of National bucket List Day. And it's important
to live your death. So we have the day we're
born and the day we pass away. Yet to live
that in between times.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I love that you have to. It's the dash in between.
I've seen that like on people's headstones before, and it's
so true. The day you're born is one thing. The
day you leave is another, but it's what you do
in between. And so for National bucket List Day, like,
what are you encouraging people to do? Does it have
to be huge pie big things like going to space.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
No, and it's not just travel. So here's some examples.
So you want to give back to your community, learn
to skill, like, for instance, if you want to start
a new business or start a podcast, be a guest
on a radio show, start creating lists with your friends.
That's actually going to help you keep accountable. And of
course follow National Dey calendar. There's over sixteen hundred national
(01:40):
days throughout the year, and today it's also National Pigs
in a Blanket Day. Also promote a local restaurant. We
have a lot of local restaurants. I'm based here in
Huntington Beach. I want to do a shout out to
Masala Waves, which is the Paul restaurant. There's also a
karaoke place called Yama's. Okay, and then if you like pastrami,
then we got a whole bunch of stuff in La
as well. So so many different things to do for today.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Okay, So Cindy, let's talk more about bucket lists though,
because you know, like you said, it could be something
like a small goal, but how do you encourage people
then to get to some of the bigger ones, Because
like I'm going, I get to go to Paris. I've
never been to Paris. I don't know that it was
a bucket list thing, but it definitely is like to
travel internationally. Again, I want to do that more as
(02:25):
before I, you know, before I leave the planet, because
it's an amazing planet. So how do you start like
thinking of those things that you want to do and
then making them turning in into reality.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It all starts with having that accountability and just finding
people who have the same likes and interest in just
keeping each other accountable and hey, we should mark off
the Northern Lights, or we should go to Paris, and
it's just a great way to get everybody together and
create life experiences together.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
What are some of the wackiest ones you've you've heard? Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Wow, well, I want to say that the most scariest
fear bucket list would be jumping down of airplane or skydiving.
And once you do those two fear bucket lists, you
pretty much can do anything for three weeks after doing that,
especially people who are afraid of heights. It's just super
crucial to overcome that fear. It's going to help you
(03:21):
overcome a lot of different things in your personal life
as well.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, okay, so there's a fear bucket list. I think
I'm going to stick to the fun bucket list. National
Bucket Day found bucket List Day founder Cindy Lee. Thanks
so much for your time. Go and live your dreams.
It's a good thing to do, right, Thank you. All right,
