Did you know today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day?

We wanted to take a quick moment to feature a Brain from our community who among many things, is a Holocaust Survivor:

Yoka Brouwer

We also wanted to let you know that we have unlocked a new service on her profile today called:

"Talk about the Holocaust with a Holocaust survivor" (30 Minutes, Online, Free)

Yoka WOW's anyone who books her. Reading through her reviews the common theme seems to be:

"Book a meeting with Yoka and it may change your way of looking at life."

https://lnkd.in/gkEYHcJJ

❤️ Yoka, thank you for signing up to share your knowledge with the world in new and creative ways and for impacting everyone who books you. You are a treasure.

💡 Geography is a big part of diversity 📍🌏

We're born and raised in BC, Canada, but the Pick My Brain team are spread out across the world, including the and .

Our Brains hail from the far corners of the earth, too, and each week a new country finds us. For example, we've just had our first Brain go live from Latvia. LATVIA! Right?! 🤯 (Shout out to Eglis).

So what does this mean for us?

The more geographically diverse Brains (aka smart and interesting people) that create a profile and start selling on our knowledge marketplace, the more diversity we'll have.

Wouldn't it be awesome to have a conversation with a clarity coach from ?

Or what about a business coach from ?

Or even a 'joy pusher' from ?

One of our biggest goals is to represent the beauty and diversity of humanity and give each and every person a platform to earn a living doing what they're passionate about.

If that sounds like something you could get on board with, book one of our Brains and take our platform for a spin 🙌🏼

The support I have received over the past few days from my friends, family, brains and community re Marshal Finch’s loss has been incredibly uplifting.

The words, the flowers, the messages, the dms, the shares, the love… all of it. I’m so greatful for you all. You have no idea.

The love you are injecting is making me feel even stronger than I was before and I know I’m going to come out of this with an even better understanding of what it means to be human. Thank you.

You have all helped fill my tank. And it reminds me that when we have a community there to support us in times of need, anything is possible and we all become extra resilient to anything that can happen.

“The ache is not a flaw. The ache is our meeting place. It’s the clubhouse for the brave. All the lovers are there. It’s where you go alone to meet the world. The ache is love.” -Doyle

Below is a gift Marshal sent me that is so unique and memorable. Just like he was.

He asked Steve Wozniak - founder of Apple - to record this for me via Cameo.

He was always giving me so much support when it came to how hard and how long it takes to build momentum with a new idea and business. This is just one very special example of how he shared it. There were 100s more.

It was everything I needed in the early days and more.

Dream bigger,
Max
