We don’t care about timelines.
You know what?
We’re gonna show up late.
You know why?
Because we’re having a really
great conversation with someone else
and we didn’t want to
interrupt that conversation.
Now I’m 100% here.
And I’m so here, that no one
else has ever been this here with you.

Primary Blue Ocean...
25% of Canada.
One of the things you’re going to notice
is that we’re quite calm,
we’re quite relaxed.
We trust Blue Oceans implicitly.
We’re all made of ear,
like tympanic membrane.
We’re just one big giant ear.
Totally focused on the other person.
We don’t even know what we’re noticing.
We notice things so that someone says,
“No, no. I’m good”.
And we’re like, “Come here, tell me about it”.
We listen.
Empathic.
We connect.
We understand.
And we always seek to understand
the other person’s perspective,
expecting that we’ll get that back in return.
Although we rarely do.
We basically absorb
what’s going on in the other person’s world.
So we get so connected to their world
that we actually absorb it,
and we feel what they’re feeling.
So if you think of like the inner ear,
and how delicate and sensitive it is,
the smallest bones in the human body,
all used to capture little vibrations
and subtle changes...
we pick up on that subtlety.
So that blue is that
depth of personality.
That depth of caring.
That depth of character.
And that depth of uniqueness.
When you’re staring out over that cool blue ocean,
and it’s all different shades of blue,
and they're all changing.
And the sky is blue
and it’s all changing.
So we are this
adaptive,
innovative,
changing person
who's almost constantly changing,
to suit you.
The ocean side is that depth, it's always changing
and its conversation.
Conversation for us is like
back...
and forth.
Back...
and forth.
Like the waves...
back....and forth.
That’s what we do.
We hear it all.
We don’t miss anything.
We ask questions.
In this world of technology and
faster, faster, faster...
that value of
authenticity,
there’s a realness that we are…
that value is on the rise.
[Music continues]
If you put us together
you get the 75.
That 75% is why Canadians,
globally, are know for what?
Being nice and apologizing.
