Hani Mourra Social Media Video Guru. Hey, Hani, a couple of months ago you and I were talking about the challenge, and explain to the folks what the challenge is, and why you got involved with that.

Hani: Yeah, so there's a challenge going around the internet. I heard about it before but it's basically, it's bring awareness to veterans. There's a stat, a very disturbing stat. 22 veterans commit suicide every single day due to mental illness. People are trying to bring awareness, especially on Facebook. And so somebody, I'm not sure who, came up with a 22 pushups for 22 days challenge and you post these videos on Facebook and you nominate people. Hani Mourra Social Media Video Guru

And the whole point is to bring awareness that there is an issue out there that people need to be aware of. So I got involved from Mark. Mark Asquith from Podcast Websites nominated me and I took on the challenge. Actually, my wife joined me as well. She took on the challenge with me. Hani Mourra Social Media Video Guru

Bruce: Why is that important to you? People think about the United States they don't think about Canada and the same problem is germane up there so let's talk about that part of you and then we'll jump into the software side. Hani Mourra Social Media Video Guru

Hani: Absolutely. I mean, whatever the issue is, I mean this happens to be about veterans but whatever it is, whenever you as a person can offer any kind of value even if it's just as simple as building awareness about something, I'm all for it. I'm the kind of person who just wants to help people in any way I can and pushups, even though they don't sound very difficult, they are really difficult, but that's not the point. The point is just to put yourself out there and help people whenever you can. That's the way I look about it. Hani Mourra Social Media Video Guru

Bruce: Yeah, and we all got stories. In the warm up I shared one like ostensibly and folks, if you haven't come alongside one veteran, guy or gal, in your community, I know there's one person within a mile where every person lives that's hearing my voice right now. There's no question about it. And a simple, "Hey let's grab a cup of coffee. Let's have a beer. Hey, let's go out and play some golf. Let's go do this. Hani Mourra Social Media Video Guru

These people need you even though you think they don't, every single one of 'em needs you to get out of your own sandbox, get into theirs and spend some time. It doesn't take a lot of time, but you might be the most important person in their life.

" These people need you even though you think they don't, every single one of 'em needs you to get out of your own sandbox, get into theirs and spend some time. It doesn't take a lot of time, but you might be the most important person in their life. Why? Because I had a friend that I would not take to the range. I would not put a loaded gun in his hand. Why? You know the answer to that. And it's real. And so whatever you can do as an individual, as a couple as a family, come alongside a veteran. If you're uncomfortable, so what? They need you more than you could ever believe. So that's my thought on that. Hani, your thoughts? Hani Mourra Social Media Video Guru

Hani: Well I agree. I mean it's just you're doing a human to human favor. Like you're helping a human, somebody in need who needs something, needs your attention, needs to build awareness about the issues in this world that people need to be aware of that I didn't know about this until somebody nominated me for this challenge. And just being there for somebody, just lending an ear, is of tremendous value. Hani Mourra Social Media Video Guru

Bruce: And so with that,
