00:00:00.000 Be who you are up front, and then you don't have to worry about it catching you behind.

00:00:04.840 If your AFA affiliation or your practice of Ausitru is some big secret and is completely

00:00:10.960 incongruent with who you are at work, then yeah, if they find out some secret that's completely

00:00:16.520 contrary to everything else that they've known about you, then that's going to cause a certain

00:00:22.640 amount of shock value. So building a reputation where you're a straightforward person and they

00:00:28.280 know who you are and what you stand for, that has helped every single member of leadership that I

00:00:34.400 can think of when this has happened over just this issue. And the other thing is you don't

00:00:43.400 have to tell all these people you're in the AFA. That's up to you. We don't divulge membership

00:00:50.600 information to any outside source, and we would not do that without some kind of a subpoena or

00:00:56.960 something we we're not going to do that your privacy is important to us um but at some point

00:01:04.400 you know it does take a little bit of courage uh it takes a little bit of courage to

00:01:11.520 put yourself out there and to tell folks what you stand for and to stand behind it

00:01:17.600 it. And it's only courage because there is a possibility of cost to it. But I still think you

00:01:27.680 should do it. I think it's important. I think it's important for all of us. And it's important

00:01:32.680 for those who come behind you. And it says something about yourself. And doing that is a

00:01:38.160 step in building your honor. And yes, I'd really encourage you to do that. I'll say this, my wife

00:01:44.960 was was doxxed again because she's my wife and she was doxxed in uh she works for the government

00:01:54.520 and her boss is you know a homosexual and her boss above that is a very liberal person

00:02:04.440 and there's a lot of a lot of liberality in that and those people treated her great

00:02:11.640 They let her know that somebody was after her just so she'd know.

00:02:15.220 They reassured her, hey, the only reason we're even mentioning this to you is so you know that somebody was after you.

00:02:20.420 Looks like they're trying to get us to fire you for expressing your faith.

00:02:24.100 And that's not what we do here.

00:02:25.940 And they've been great to her ever since.

00:02:28.100 So it's not a death sentence, and it's not a death sentence for your career.

00:02:34.060 So take heart, have a little bit of courage, and we would all be here to support you and

00:02:39.260 have your back the best we could.
