Speaker A: Hey, everyone.

Speaker B: This is Wade and this is Cody. And we're excited to be a part of Humans of Telecom.

Speaker C: Hey, everyone. A very warm welcome to Humans of Telecom, the unplugged podcast. This is your host, Anuragarwal. As you all know, this is where we go beyond titles and job roles to uncover the real people behind telecom. Their journeys, their mindset, and the experiences that shape who they are. And today's guests are. Ah. Someone whose venture instantly caught my attention because it's not just another telecom story, but one built on a powerful idea. The intersection of enterprise and philanthropy. With over a decade of experience in leadership development and organizational transformation, they have been on a mission to help individuals and teams unlock their highest potential. Whether through speaking, writing, or coaching, they create spaces for authentic growth and meaningful change. Their journey is rooted in a simple, yet profound belief that every individual has the capacity for extraordinary growth. And over the years, they have seen firsthand what happens when people align with their true life goals. As entrepreneurs, they have built organizations that balance both profit and purpose. And today, they continue this mission, creating ripple effects of positive change that go far beyond the immediate impact of their work. So, without further ado, please join me in welcoming Wade and Cody Dunn, founders of Love Mobile. Wade and Cody, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for agreeing to be a part of this journey. We'd love to hear more about you. Which part of the world do you belong to? And, um, from where are you joining this podcast today?

Speaker B: Wow. Thank you so much for the invitation. Wade and I are joining the podcast from Oklahoma, right in the heartland, the middle of the United States of America.

Speaker C: Guys, it's so amazing to have you both on the show. I've been tracking your journey and your venture for the last over a year now, and it's interesting to see what you guys are doing, and I hope that through this conversation, we are able to unlock this further. So, firstly, let's start by hearing your journey. Uh, I know you both are absolutely accomplished professionals, and I know that your journey seem to mirror each other, but would love to hear more about where it all started. What have you both been up to all these years? Even before you guys founded Love Mobile? And what's the journey about Love Mobile like? So walk us through the entire journey, both of you.

Speaker A: All right, Cody, I'll let you go. I'll let you go. Cody tells a beautiful story, so I always like to follow, follow up after she goes.

Speaker B: So Wade and I are married entrepreneurs. This year It'll be, what, 18 years? Oh, my God.

Speaker A: 18 years.

Speaker B: 18 years. Um, and so we had a successful technology, ah, streaming company. And once we exited that streaming company, we were ready our next venture. But something was happening in our life, in our family life at that same time. And our kids were going off into the world. And the math doesn't math until you understand that we are a blended family. So, um, single mom, meet single dad. And we have all these children together. What, seven total. And, um, right at the time that our company was, was exiting, they were exiting our house, um, leaving home and going off to college. And, um, a few years back, and I walked out of the house. I walked. I'm sorry, I walked out of my office, in the house, and Wade was sitting at our kitchen table. And I just kind of walked up to him and I said, sir, we failed our kids. And he looked at me like, what? What are you talking about, ma'? Am? They have this beautiful home and beautiful life. What are you talking about? And I said, look at society. Society is not in a good place. And here we are sending our kids into this world that's a little. Not okay. Um, we've got to do something. And we are problem solvers by nature. And we really just begin to sit down and look at how could we make giving back and improving society automatic. And so that kitchen table conversation was the beginning of our next venture, which, uh, was Love Mobile, the cell phone company that gives back.

Speaker C: Interesting. And Wade, what's your take on this? Has there been something beyond this that has kept you busy during the years and something special you'd like to share with our listeners?

Speaker A: Um, you know, it's funny, she kind of glossed over it, but, you know, we were married for 18 years. And, you know, when we got married, um, we kind of jumped right into life. Right? We were. I think she said, uh, I was a single dad of three, she was a single mom of two. And we started our first business, uh, maybe a few months after we got married. So we did that first business and raised our family for, you know, first 13 years of our marriage. And then once we got out of that, we kind of jumped in the corporate space. Took alexperience and jumped in the corporate space. And that's when we realized, you know, we got to do something. So, you know, I think it's been a great journey. Um, I will say this for the listeners out there. You know, I married my best friend. So someone asked me a question today of how do you work with your wife and how do you separate life from business? And I said, you know, well, I don't, because I, uh, married my best friend 1. And we are working with something we're both passionate about. So doesn't feel like work. Right. It's not like an obligation we're fulfilling. It's his passion. It's his legacy. So conversations flow from life, family to business and right back to life, all in the same paragraph. Because we just kind of. We didn't fall into this. We didn't create this out of, uh, a necessity, personally. Right. It was created out of desire of trying to figure out, how can we help about. And the name of the company is called Love Mobile because one, we want to share the love, but it was also. It was also built on love. Right? Built on love. 18 years of marriage and family and experience that we wanted to bring to the world, which is, you know, why we. Why we called it love. Because we wanted to be able to share that type of love with the community at large.

Speaker C: Interesting. And did you guys ever imagine when you first met each other? I mean, actually, it'll be interesting to hear a bit more. How did you guys meet each other? You know, if you're saying a single mom and a single dad, how did you guys cross paths? And did you guys ever imagine that you both together will be creating such an impactful venture within the telecom space?

Speaker B: You know, that's such a great question, because I was so, like, Ms. Super Single Mom. I owned all aspects of being a single mom. I actually loved it. Um, so I had just written a book about being a single mom. Like, I was the single mama. Okay. And then it's like we met. Um, he sent me a message. He, y'. All. He hopped in my DMs. M. Before DMs was a thing.

Speaker A: Oh, my God.

Speaker B: And that initial conversation was what, nine hours, Wade. Um, and we've been talking like that ever since. Like, we. We started talking that night at, like, o' clock in the morning, and it did not end until like, 6am the next morning because he had to go to work. Um, but we still talk like that. Like, we just. This literally is my best friend. We're just always together and talking and, you know.

Speaker A: So, yeah, she kind of glossed over it again. She said. She said it lightly. So we met online. True story. Um, she was. And I'll tell you how this happened. It's like, I was, um. It was on a. We're not gonna say the name of the platform. It was on this social media platform. It was a popular social media platform in 2000, 2008, and um, we weren't connected and we didn't know. So after the fact. And on this platform, you had to be connected with the person to talk to them. And anyway, she, um, she had this page. And on, you know, on this platform you can create your own page, you can put videos and, you know, you can change designs and all that. And I went to her page and when I saw that, I saw that she had this, this, this video on there, and I was like, oh, wow, it's a great song. Uh, tell me about the song. So I reached out to her, I said, hey, tell me about this song that's on your, on your page. And then she proceeds to pitch me on her company that she has. And I'm like, hey, I'm just asking about the video. And then she tells. But, but she launched this is, this is her innovation, her brain. In 2008. She had her own version of a YouTube platform.

Speaker B: I did. Yep.

Speaker A: And, and, and she, um, had her own version of YouTube platform. The song that she had on there was.

Speaker B: I had my own media player.

Speaker A: Yeah, home media player. So we connected over that. And then that's how, like, as they say, the rest is history. We asked her about that. She told me about the platform. And then I was doing something similar because we're living in different states. I was doing something similar where I was. And that was the thing that kind of started the conversation. And that conversation went on for probably about eight hours. And it was actually, it started in the evening. Uh, Cody, I remember this. It started in the evening. And then we talked via chat all the way to the next morning when the sun rose and we had to go to work. And that was our first conversation. And we literally ever, like, honestly, we talk like that to this day. Our kids say, oh, the parents are talking. Uh, we'll just wait because we still talk so much. Yes, but we talk. That's good, though. I mean, that's how we came up with the company. That's how we talked about.

Speaker B: I mean, yeah, it was a kitchen table conversation, like, because that's how we are. I mean, when you want to know us, we take road trips and nobody sleeps. Like some people, you know, they take a road trip and the whole car is like asleep. No, not with Wade and Cody. We're going to solve the problems of the world in that 10, 12 hour road trip. Like we, we look forward to it just because we're on the open road and we're just talking nonstop for, you know, 12 hours. So that is literally who we are. That's how we are.

Speaker A: It's not empty talk either. We're not. We're not just rambling. We're solving the world, solving problems. We're trying to figure out how to solve problems.

Speaker B: Like the world is fixed by the time we reach our destination.

Speaker A: Yes, problem solved.

Speaker B: Who do we need to call? Because I solved all of that. So. Yeah.

Speaker C: So you guys are on a mission to make the world great again,

Speaker B: even better.

Speaker A: Yeah, Uh, I don't want it great.

Speaker B: I want it better.

Speaker C: But, uh, tell me more about Love, uh, mobile. That's such an interesting concept, and I briefly touched upon it in the introduction. So while we don't really delve so much about companies, but specifically in your case, because the theme is so human in nature. So tell us a bit more about Love Mobile. What's that all about?

Speaker B: So it goes back to that original conversation. We said, you know, nonprofits are not funded. 80% of nonprofits will not hit their budgets this year. And so our conversation was, well, what if everybody supported nonprofits? Because people, you know, they pay their bills. And so if. If when you paid your bill, that bill supported a nonprofit, what that would create is a win, win. And we realized people pay, you know, their power bills and water bills and their utilities, and it just kind of connected it. Everybody's got a cell phone, so that means everybody's paying a cell phone bill. Well, what if that cell phone bill gave back to the nonprofits in your area? It creates the perfect little, you know, circle of just connectivity and, and, and resource for the community. And so that's the foundation that we built Love Mobile on. It's a cell phone company that gives back. And so every time our subscribers pay their bill, every bill, every month, we give back on a hyper local to our four pillars. Education, the environment, community services, and pet adoption and care. So, um, that is the ecosystem. That is a foundation of the company that we created. We literally, we say this all the time. We didn't start a company and decide to give back. We decided to give back. So we started a company.

Speaker C: Amazing. I think that's such a wonderful thought that you decided to give back and then you started a company, keeping this as the entire center point of the organization. Amazing. And within this entire journey of yours, Wade and Cody, has there been any one specific impactful moment or something very memorable you'd like to share with our listeners?

Speaker A: M impactful moment in the journey? Um, I think overall. Now, overall journey, not just Love Mobile, um, our first company, we had a lot of great interactions that first company we did was really well. Um, we had a lot of clients from across the globe and we was able to sit with a lot of different people. I think those interactions with um, those people, those organizations and companies really I think shaped us to where we are now with Love Mobile because we sat with like um, heads of companies, heads of organizations, heads of government agencies and we learned some things. And I know one conversation we had in particular uh, really shaped the idea of caring for your neighbor. Right? We had a conversation years ago and was in a room and it was just like the person we were sitting with had so much knowledge, they had so much um, learned experience, inherited experience, so much um, just wisdom in this space of being peaceful. And when we sat there, the questions always to us was when there was any type of opportunity to serve the greater good, even though all people maybe gather in that space may not be in agreement, the question was always, but for the purpose can we not work together? And I think um, that for me is a constant thought of I may not agree with um, I may not agree with everything that you do. However, do we agree that for this purpose we're both working towards the greater good? If that's the case, then I believe we can work together. Because if we can work together we can get more things accomplished versus just us doing it individually. So I think um, for me, I think that's one of the experiences I had in my, I guess, previous business, uh, venture that helped shape the thought with this business venture.

Speaker C: I think that's such a fair point. And I think from that angle there is always this saying that if there is a greater good which we can all align towards, it's easier for us to put our resources together and march towards that greater good. And I think from that point that's the starting point for change to take place and that's how impact is created. And you know, it's very interesting that this journey that you're talking about and the concept of Love Mobile, for me personally I have worked for the longest time in a, uh, conglomerate called the Tata Group. And I don't know how familiar are you with that? It's one of the largest conglomerates in India and a uh, very well known brand around the world. And even for the Tata Group, philanthropy and giving back to the community has been at the center of the entire group's operation. And it's very interesting to see that a company based in the US is having very similar thoughts and is using that as the focal point of moving ahead. So it's People before profits. And I think that's a fantastic journey you guys are creating together. So hats off to both of you for that.

Speaker A: Thank you.

Speaker B: Thank you.

Speaker C: All right, and now moving on from the company, from the telecom side to the human side. So let's talk a bit more about both of you. So you've told us some fun facts about you already, but if there is any one single surprising or shocking or unknown thing about you that you would like to share with our listeners, what would that one thing possibly be?

Speaker B: I think people would be surprised to know that Wade and I have seven children. Um, and I say children lightly because our oldest daughter is what, 29? 28.

Speaker A: 29, yeah.

Speaker B: 20. 29. Okay. Wow. That happened. Okay. She's 29. Um, but, you know, and when you can go to so many places and do so many things in the world, it brings color to your life and experience. But I will tell anybody that, uh, surprisingly, my favorite place in the world is right inside my phone, inside my family chat, because my children, the adult children, are all over the world doing amazing things and they travel and they're just living their lives and having these experiences. But in that family chat, they are still my baby. So, uh, I think that's surprising to people that, you know, my favorite destination is actually in a little chat box inside my phone where all my children are gathered. So, yeah, amazing.

Speaker C: Yes, I think seven children. Yes, for sure. I think in today's day and age, uh, one can't fathom it's literally in your case, like yours, mine and ours.

Speaker A: So.

Speaker B: Absolutely.

Speaker C: It's very interesting. And what's the gap? You said the oldest is 28 and the, uh, youngest. How old is the youngest child?

Speaker B: As of this recording, she's nine.

Speaker A: Oh, wow.

Speaker B: Nice little spread there.

Speaker A: And they're both girls and they both have similar personalities. They're very.

Speaker B: The oldest and the youngest are. Yeah, they're 20. Very independent year old, different twins. So.

Speaker C: Yeah, but you almost have what they call like a generation gap between them.

Speaker A: Almost.

Speaker B: Yes.

Speaker C: So it's hats off to you that much as you're busy conquering the corporate world, I think managing all these youngsters with different journeys of their life and such, different attitudes which come with every passing generation. It's amazing how you have to be so versatile to be able to manage all different facets of this reality.

Speaker B: Well, if you can handle that dynamic, you can handle anything that the world has to offer because they're going to throw it all at you. Right. So, uh, we have a good time, though. It's full of love. And they are our biggest, uh, advocates and champions, and they're talking about what their parents are building to their friends and their social media. So, um, even on a tough day, it makes you keep going because you know who you're building this for and they're paying attention. And, and. And when my daughter or my son is going, you know what my parents saw and they tackled it head on, what does that say to them of who they can be and what they can do and the impact that they can make in the world? So I absolutely love that they are locked in and tuned into our journey, and I'm excited to see what it does for them.

Speaker C: Amazing. And beyond this wonderful family of yours and the family chat which keeps you energized, what do you guys have as passions and hobbies? Is there something you guys love to do together or do you have your own individual passions? What's it like that interests both of you?

Speaker A: Yeah, we do. I'm laughing because Cody, Cody, I don't know what you're gonna say. Likes. Um, I'm gonna talk about me.

Speaker B: I was gonna say you go.

Speaker A: I realize. I realize it because I was laughing because I know what. I know what you enjoy. And it's so funny because you have my daughter, a nine year old, she, uh, enjoys it too. But for me, um, I think, you know, I like. I like traveling. I do. And I say travel, I'm not talking like I like traveling on the plane, but, like, I do like the road trips. Um, we. We have these things called wonder trips. And what that is is we, um. Our kids love it. They grew up on wonder trips. Wonder trips is basically a thing where you get gas and you just drive and you have no destination. You just drive and you just drive as far as you want to go until you decide, uh, let me turn around. And if you have a full tank of gas, that trip can be a while. But I enjoy Wanda trips. I enjoy Wanda trips with my family. Um, one of my best memories, looking, ah, in the rearview mirror and seeing all their faces of the kids as we take those wonder trips. And some are asleep, some are thinking, some are doing different things. Meanwhile, me and Cody in the front talking. But I think that's one of my, um. That is one of the most favorite things I enjoy. Those wonder trips are like quiet time for me.

Speaker C: Amazing. And Cody, for you, something that Wade said that he already knows, but I guess we don't know. So what is it?

Speaker A: I'm gonna see what you say. I don't know.

Speaker B: No, I'm gonna put my business out there, man. Okay, so I like watching international dramas. And I'm talking. I don't want it in English. It has to be in its original or native language. And I'm reading the subtitles, you know, for 20 episodes. And I don't know, it makes me, like, block out the world. I can't be on my phone. I can't be thinking about work or anything else. I am locked in on this, you know, drama, uh, that's in, you know, Korea or India or Africa or like, I'm just. Yeah, I watch international dramas. That's how I turn off the world. So there you go.

Speaker A: She has our daughter. Our daughter's nine year old. Nine. And she watches it and she reads it. And she like, she loves to watch international. And she has to watch it in the native language. And she will.

Speaker B: Literally, that's how you get it. That's how you feel it.

Speaker A: Yeah. Her and Cody. Her and Cody will lock. They'll be gone for hours. Hours. Like, what are you guys doing? And then they're watching there, and then they'll have, uh, dialogue about the shows they watch around me. I'm like, what? I'm thinking of talking about somebody that we really know. And then I'm like, what are y' all talking about? And they're talking about the actors or the characters on the show. I'm like, y' all talking about, like, it's a sir. I thought it was somebody we knew. So that's why I was laughing. Cause that's what they do to, um. They literally do that to decompress.

Speaker C: So I guess that if you don't have enough drama at home, you make sure that you bring in all the drama from the rest of the world as well.

Speaker B: Absolutely. Well, you know what, though? But it's showing my daughter different cultures and the food and the dancing and the music and just the places. Like we've been all over the world this month alone just because we watch, you know, international dramas. So, yeah, it's a lot of fun.

Speaker C: Interesting. So Wade takes his trips outside of the tv, and you take yours within the television.

Speaker B: Absolutely.

Speaker C: All right, and now we have a very interesting section. So two truths and a lie. So Wade and Cody would love to hear three statements from you, knowing all that you've said till now already, which is so fascinating. Uh, uh, it's almost unbelievable. It'll be very difficult for me to guess, but would love to hear three statements. Two of them have to be truths, One of them has to be A lie. And I'll try and guess which one of them is which. So can we have three such statements from you?

Speaker B: Absolutely. All right, so the first one is going to be our first date was at the aquarium. Um, the second one is going to be that we've been featured on a national TV show. And the third one is going to be we have three married children.

Speaker C: All right, uh, let me guess. Out there, I think somewhere you mentioned about two each from before, so I'm gonna start with the third one. So I'm gonna say that. Okay, you have three children together other than the two which each of you already had. So I'm gonna say the third one is true. Uh, your first date at the aquarium and then, of course, being featured on a national TV show. So I'm gonna actually take a chance and say that the second one is true. We'd love to hear more about that as well. And then possibly when you guys met online, you didn't end up meeting for the first time at an aquarium. So I'm going to say the first one is a lie and that the second and the third are true. So am I right out here?

Speaker A: No, you're not right. You're not right. You're not right.

Speaker B: Nope.

Speaker A: That was good. I like the logic, though, behind the way, uh, you kind of determine which was true or not. But, yeah. Now the third one is not true. We don't have three. We don't have three married children. We have, uh, one. One of our children is married and other. The other six are not married yet.

Speaker B: So we have a bonus son.

Speaker A: Yes. Ah, yes, a bonus son.

Speaker B: One of our daughters is married. Yep.

Speaker A: And we did actually have our first date at the aquarium because we met online and we didn't. We talked online for how many weeks? We talked online for a while before we met in person because it was in two different states about 600 miles apart. So our first actual date was at the aquarium when I flew down to where she lived and we had our first date. Okay, now let Cody talk about the TV show.

Speaker B: Yes. We were featured on a. In America, it's called House Hunters on Vacation. And, uh, they featured our family probably, what, uh, gosh, maybe 15 years.

Speaker A: 15 years ago.

Speaker B: Yeah, my 16 year old was like one. So I guess, yeah, 15 years ago, we were featured on. On a show called House Hunters on Vacation. Why did I tell you that?

Speaker A: Yeah, everybody gonna look it up now. Like, oh, my God, look it up.

Speaker B: Please don't look it up.

Speaker A: Fifteen years ago, we were so much younger. It was like newlyweds. We was probably with Mary for like a year and a half at that moment.

Speaker B: I think when they, somebody nominated this beautiful blended family to be on this TV show and they picked us and uh, they flew us out to um, San Diego, California and we got to tour three different million dollar houses and choose one to live in for a week. So it was a very cool experience. We met people that we're still in touch with today. Um, but yeah, it wasn't my best makeup moment, I guess, but my eyelash was kind of like attacking me. But it's okay.

Speaker C: So it's basically like a reality show which you guys. Interesting, interesting. If you guys still have like a YouTube episode of that, would love that the audience gets to see that. Even though I know you don't know.

Speaker A: I think it's public. I think it is on YouTube and it's public. It is. Yes. We do have it.

Speaker B: 100,000 views. Yep.

Speaker C: So Cody, I think if, let's put it this way now that if you guys don't share it, I'm going to make sure that we feature that.

Speaker A: Oh, it was a great episode. It was a great. It was a great episode. It's, it's um. Listen, it's so much when we watch as a family, it's crazy. There's certain things. We always pull out certain moments because we know what happened off camera. And then when he was filming and you gotta think these were kids. These kids. I think our oldest at the time was 11.

Speaker B: Yes. Was she 11?

Speaker A: She was 11. 12.

Speaker B: 11 or 12. Yeah. Cause she's 29 now.

Speaker A: And then, and then our youngest was the baby. Cause the little baby girl wasn't even born yet, the nine year old. So we only had six on the show. And these are all like elementary school kids for the most part. All of my elementary school kids. And then you have a little toddler and then a 12 year old. And then it's me and Cody and we're like uh, maybe a year and a half, two years married right here. So we laugh every time we watch the show because we know what happened off camera. And I'll tell you a secret about this. They filmed, was it three days, Cody? We filmed three days.

Speaker B: Yeah, Three days of filming.

Speaker A: It was three days of filming and they edited to make it look like it was just one day. Like it was looking at three houses in one day. So we had to wear the same clothes. And then the kids would like mess up their clothes and we'd be like, no, you need that shirt for Two more days. So it was.

Speaker B: We don't have any.

Speaker A: Right. We don't have any extra yellow shirts. So, uh, we laughed at when we watched the show. It was so funny because we know what happened behind the scenes.

Speaker B: The chaos.

Speaker A: Yes, the chaos. But, yeah, we'll send it to you. It's a funny episode, though. It's funny.

Speaker C: Yeah. We'd love to hear more about it. And now the last question of this section. So, guys, you had a fantastic life. I don't think you'd really want it in any other way, but if you could get a chance, is there any one thing about your life that you'd like to change?

Speaker B: Ooh, good question. Um, I know for me, I would have met Wade sooner. He's such a great life partner, and he, uh, even allows me to be a better version of myself that if, you know, give me all my children, I still want all my children, but I just want to meet Wade a little bit sooner. I think that would be something I would change if I could. But, you know, I trust my creator and, um, the timing of my creator and all things, you know, in. Well. But yeah, that would be mine.

Speaker C: And how about you, Wade?

Speaker A: Isaiah was actually the same thing. I think. We talk about this. We talk about this a lot because we've been married for almost 20 years and we always say that, oh, uh, man, I wish I would have met you, like, when we was in high school, right? Because, uh, we would have a great life, keep all we want. All of our kids, all our kids are phenomenal. But I think, um, that's the only thing I. I don't live. I try to. I don't live with regrets, right. I try to live with regrets. But that's one thing I wish would have happened sooner because we would have had, you know, we're 20 years in right now. We're this far. If we would have met in high school, we would have so many more years underneath our belt and so much more life that we would have been able to experience. And also, let's be honest, guys, um, life. When you're young and you're growing, you're growing, you're learning, it can be tough. You go through experiences that, ah, we probably both could have avoided, you know, be. You know, we could avoid it if we would have probably knew each other and met each other in high school. So that's one thing I wish I could change.

Speaker C: Well, let's put it this ways, that maybe if you guys would have met earlier, we won't have had to see the seven fantastic kids which are there today. So from that perspective, I think everything has a meaning attached to it. And I think we should all just trust destiny.

Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.

Speaker B: It may be 14 versus 7. 14 kids. Yeah, it'd be Madam President, Cody, President, Vice President Wade. Yeah, mhm. It'd be something like that.

Speaker A: So you know, the first married couple, uh, first husband and wife, uh, leadership

Speaker B: dynamic duo, co president one and two.

Speaker A: Yes, that's it. First time ever. Yeah.

Speaker C: Ah, you guys can create a congress of your own.

Speaker A: We are not kids. Right.

Speaker C: Amazing. And now we are down to our, uh, final section, our uh, sign off section. So guys, I'm truly having such a wonderful time in this conversation. I think something which the listeners haven't heard, but you guys had shared, I must say that I'm talking to two accomplished professionals, just not in the corporate space, but they've also been running a radio show for almost a decade or something you guys said. Yeah, and I think that's showing. Not only is the chemistry showing, but I think how you guys are able to balance it off with each other and complement each other so well. I think that's really showing so well in this conversation. And I wish we could go on and on and let's hope that we get another chance to have you guys on the show. But sadly we're down to our final question. What does being human mean to you? What sort of a human being would you want the world to remember you as, Cody?

Speaker B: Wow. I would want the world to remember me from my heart. That no matter what I experienced, I didn't allow life to harden my heart, but that I kept it tender and I kept my ability to not just see the loud and the bold, but the meek and the quiet people that would be mine.

Speaker A: That was pretty good.

Speaker C: And how about you, Wade?

Speaker A: I think for me, you know, uh, the question about what do you want to be remembered by or remember as? And what is human, you know, human to me, um, is a passing thought. That's what it is. That's how fast life is here. And in that little bit of time you have, you have to build something that impacts others. And I think what I want to remember as is I don't want to be remembered at all. I don't want you, you may not know my name. I want you to remember my impact. I want you to remember my impact. And when I say that, I mean you are able to do something because of the sacrifice I may have made in my life to open up a door or pave a new path that now you can walk down. Right. For me, that's, I think that's, that's if when I leave this earth to know that happens, that that is what human is to me, is to make the world better for the next person coming.

Speaker C: Amazing. I think there are some wonderful thoughts to wrap up this conversation on. And I think you guys are already living what you are saying. You're living your philosophy, and I think Love Mobile is a lot about all that you said. And I think you are doing your bit in whatever manner possible to leave the world a better place. And I, uh, wish you guys all the very best. We've never met, we've never interacted before this, but I do hope at some time within our journeys, our paths cross. Would love to meet you both and have a fantastic conversation about so many more aspects that we couldn't cover today.

Speaker B: Oh, yes, absolutely. Over food. We must do it.

Speaker A: I would say our wonder trips, they do crossing. Yeah, we're wandering right in there. You'll see the ride on. You'll see the ride right on past the window talking.

Speaker C: I'm gonna hold you to that, Wade. We must have one of those wonder trips where you just suddenly land up at my doorstep.

Speaker A: That's it.

Speaker C: Awesome. Awesome. So, once again, Wade and Cody, thank you so much. It's been wonderful having you on the show. And to all our wonderful listeners here, we hope this episode gave you a good glimpse of the human side of Wade and Cody Dunn. A power couple in the truest sense. 18 years strong as what they call married entrepreneurs building dreams side by side. Two incredible journeys.

Parents to a beautifully growing family of seven children across two decades. A life adventure that's even taken them onto a US reality TV show with passions as unique as their journey.
