Everyone. This is Kurt Frankem, the host of the Leading Saints podcast and the executive director of Leading Saints, coming to you at maybe an atypical time when we don't publish an episode, but I wanna make this an announcement episode, an opportunity that I would love for you to be a part of. This is for this isn't just the cat for the casual listener of Leading Saints. This is for the superfan of Leading Saints who really wants a deeper, more engaging experience with myself and the Leading Saints brand as we explore all things leadership in a very unique place. Well, where is that place? It is onboard the BYU cruise. Now there's a BYU cruise happening on April 11th through 18th 2025, and we have partnered with them to create a experience within an experience. So the foundation of this experience is you will be on a cruise ship full of BYU fans. Now for some of you, that may not be a billing. Maybe this isn't the cruise for you. However, if you're a BYU fan or you're a BYU alumni, this would be a remarkable opportunity alone that we we poured out of Los Angeles. We go to places like Ensenada, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Mexican Riviera type of cruise, beautiful surroundings, beautiful beaches, beautiful experiences, and adventure there. But not to mention, the things that happen on the ship are remarkable as well. And so I wanted to personally invite you to join me as part of the BYU cruise, and by doing that, if you come through the Leading Saints door, we're going to have an even more remarkable experience on the Leading Saints level. Podcast interviews, workshops, late night, early morning discussions. Right? Even just meals together where we can really dig into some leadership principles, share leadership experiences with others that are gonna be part of this experience, and it will be life changing. This is more of like a transformational retreat rather than just a vacation on a boat full of BYU fans. Now, again, of course, this boat is full of legends when it comes to BYU sports and BYU experience everything from Jim McMahon, Kehlani Sataki, Jennifer Rockwood, Chad Lewis. So some remarkable individuals in the realm of of BYU, but then some fantastic entertainers as well. One of my favorite comedians, Steve Solbergs, one of my favorite, singers, Hilary Weeks. So many more entertainers that it's gonna be an all around remarkable experience in and of itself. But like I said, we are going to take it a level deeper with, leading Saints experience as well. They've been kind enough to set apart a a conference room, a section on the boat where we can gather and really get into some conversation as as it's permitted with the schedule. We have a lot of time on the deck to discuss as well. And drum roll, please, the big announcement is I will have the opportunity to interview Kalani Sataki on the ship. That's right. For the Leading Saints podcast. Now, of course, I will, publish that for the the world of Leading Saints to listen to and hear, But to be there in person to help me out with some questions and to really dig into the leadership of Kehlani Sitaki, will be fantastic. There's so much I wanna discuss with him, so much I wanna learn from him in the world of leadership. Now here's the thing. Like, I go through those those names. You know, we got Brandon Dohman on the ship. He's a current stake president. Chad Lewis is a current stake president. There's so many other, leaders. Gifford Nelson, right, a member of the quorum of the of the seventy. Right? He may need to take a few more, permissions to get an interview. But, nonetheless, they're gonna there's gonna be people. I'm gonna be working it on the boat to make sure that, we reach out to as many as possible so that we have multiple interviews that you can sit in, listen to, and then just the the social aspect of us getting together and talking about some principles of leadership. That's where where, the the the principles of leading saints really come alive when you're in a setting where you can discuss them one with another. And this happens every time I'm on one of these cruise experiences is that I, run into an everyday leader who's on the ship. Right? Maybe it's part of our Leading Saints group, and I think you need to do an interview with me. We'll find a place. We'll record, and it is just so remarkable to to have these opportunities in such a unique surrounding on an awesome ship and, full of Latter day Saints. So the energy is just gonna be awesome.
