Teens interviewing Glen - Part 2!
✨Hay you wonderfuls✨
Yes, it's finally here! 🥳
The second and last part to our teens asking Glen some fun and interesting questions!
Wait, you haven't seen the first one? Oh my!😱
Better take a look right here then!
I'm not going to make you wait much further, lets get to reading 💓
@Kitsies
I read this the other day and have been trying to think of something. I don’t think I have one.
What’s the most touching moment you had on the website?
@Aceofallthespades
What made you want to make this, is there a way we can give out advice without breaking rules like CBT skills for example?
How exactly did you come up with the idea for 7cups?
The first cup kisses away my thirst,
and my loneliness is quelled by the second.
The third gives insight worthy of ancient scrolls,
and the fourth exiles my troubles.
My body becomes lighter with the fifth,
and the sixth sends word from immortals.
But the seventh—oh the seventh cup—
if I drink you, a wind will hurry my wings
toward the sacred island.

What if 7 cups doesn't exist? And have you met anyone who helped out by 7 cups?
By the way thank you for this wonderful platform Glen.

@LovesSprintCars
How did you get the name "7 cups" ? Is it from "7up" the beverage?
@GlenM
See above. I like 7up!
🙏
@ShiningBubble
Hey, I wanna ask that if it is okay to be calm? Even in pressure situations like day before exam or a speech, or even a test, as I never become tensed due to these things, so people mostly think that not serious for these things, which is wrong, please answer this.
🙏

Hi Annaaaaaa! 😊 ❤️
Many thanks for facilitating, once again, a wonderful interview with our founder!
Hi Teens! 😊 ❤️
Well done on asking some incredibly thought provoking questions! I loved hearing your questions as well as the responses to them!
Hi Glen! 😊 ❤️
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to answer these fantastic questions! I loved hearing your responses.
Thank you also, for providing the links. I've seen them previously, however I love revisiting them! I for one, enjoy your style. You have the "us" and "we" mentality. You speak on behalf of us all, accept the awards on behalf of us all. You consistently share the space and never once do you ever make it all about you! And might I say, "you" is pretty darn amazing!
I love your leadership style. For someone so very fantastic, you sure do humble yourself. What an amazing trait to have. Thank you for "being the example"! We have much to learn from you by seeing you in action. Loss of the ego, sharing the space, showing strength in vulnerability and giving credit to others when you feel credit is due.
You built this place, this was your brain child. This took a great deal of personal risk and courage. This was a brave move Glen. You rolled the dice with love in your heart for others. ❤️ I'm so glad that you believed in yourself! While you and your family took all of the risk, you consistently share with us all and make it about us.
The origin story of 7 cups and everything that you went through to get us up and running is awe inspiring. You will leave quite the legacy of touching the hearts and minds of others and allowing so very many, to do so in kind.
I love that you are still here with us, front and center. There truly is no better person to represent us than you. No one is ever going to feel as passionate about what it is that you have created than yourself. No one is ever going to know your "product" better than you will.
You are an impeccable public speaker and orator. Your love for others and 7 cups shines through at each moment. You are sooooo incredibly genuine. It feels good to get behind something that is so much bigger than ourselves and by someone that walks a path of authenticity. Many of us quietly look to you as our North Star ✨ in how "to be" here on the platform and it can translate to real life as well.
I've met some smart people in my life. Sure, plenty of them. CEO's, CFO's, professors, business owners, incredibly wealthy and high profile people, politicians, royalty, ambassadors for other nations. Hands down, you take the win! I really do believe you must be the most intelligent person I have ever met in my life! It's beautiful to see someone use it all for good. Just sayin' 😊.
I hope you have a nice and relaxing weekend. Happy Easter! 🐰 I sincerely hope that you take a moment to appreciate yourself, to see how far it is that you have come and what it was that you had initially, to do it all with (seems like a bit of disparity there) . I hope you take a little "bow" privately as many of us *bow in front of greatness* to you.
*high fives* 😊 and big *hugs* ❤️
@SparkyGizmo wow Sparky thank you for all of these very kind words! Humbled and honored. My family and I took some risk on this, and there have been plenty of bumps, but what an amazing outcome. I'm very proud of all the work we've done.
I believe we've saved 100s of thousands of lives. I think that is the most rewarding part of our work. The bricks that matter the most in the cathedral we are all building. I have likely placed a few of those bricks, out of the hundreds of thousands of bricks, but not anywhere near the amount that all of you - all of us - have collectively placed.
The same goes for every compassionate conversation, shout out, upvote, or kind word. And you have shared many of these gifts yourself! Each of these is also a brick. Very important bricks. They all stack up. We have built something remarkable here.
One could argue - well, Glen it was all your idea. That would be partly true, but even in the creation of what we've done, much of this has come from the community. You could say I'm a good listener and try to listen to the signals that you all surface. I definitely do that (some would argue that I could do better!). It is these collective nudges or signals that have helped us co-create 7 Cups.
As the founder, I get a lot of credit. I'm thankful for that credit, but I zoom out, far out, and see the beauty of what we've built. I've played my part and I count it a great privilege. Millions of others have played key parts too. And the amazing thing is we don't really know how each of those gifts to others that have visited us have rippled out and impacted others. We don't have any way of knowing.
I like to think that somehow it is experienced or sensed by new people that join us. Like there is some sort of vibe or feeling that they get from our collective efforts. Perhaps we don't yet have the science or language to measure these sorts of things, but I believe it exists. And, for that, and for each person cared for, I am eternally grateful 🙏💗🙌
@GlenM
❤️❤️❤️
I don't know what I would have done without cups at certain points of my life. Thank you all 🙏❤️🌼🤙🕯️🍵
Great questions here
