Hey, everyone.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau here.

This is a very special episode.

It's not that long, but it goes along with episode number 230 on the faith Based Business podcast about life's echo with Steven Endicott.

Now, if you missed episode 230, you need to go back and catch up because otherwise this, what we're about to do, is not going to make much sense to you.

Okay?

But this is something that is absolutely fabulous and I'm not going to take a lot of time to explain it because we went into a deep dive on the episode, the actual interview with Steven ENDICOTT in episode 230.

So please look at this.

This is episode 231.

So please look at episode 230 or listen to it so you understand what today's episode here on this 1, episode 231 on the faith Based Business podcast is all about.

Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm going to chat to you today about your early life experiences.

Let's start from the very beginning.

Could you tell me where and when you were born?

Yeah, I was born on 22nd February, 1965 in Kent, which is a county in England on the Isle of Sheppey, which is not a very pleasant place.

Thank you for sharing that.

It sounds like there might be some interesting stories tied to your birthplace.

Do you know anything about your birthplace itself?

Were you born in a hospital or was it a home birth?

And were there any memorable stories from your family about that time?

Yeah, I was born in a hospital.

And the most memorable story is my father had a few too many drinks before going to the registry office to register my name and got st out and couldn't remember how to spell Stewart.

So I became Steven S T E V E N and my mother wasn't very happy.

That's a funny story.

It sounds like your dad made quite the impression right from the start.

Do you have any insight into why your parents picked the name Stuart in the first place?

Was it a family name or did they just like it?

No, it was my grandfather's name and he was a bit pissed off as well when I became Stephen.

And no middle name.

It sounds like that incident might have caused a bit of family tension.

Having a name with such a personal connection must have given it extra significance, even if it didn't go as planned.

Moving on to your family background, could you share your parents names and maybe a bit about what they were like at that time?

How old were they when you were born?

Okay, so can you see the Point I made earlier about.

It's conversational.

It's got a list of thousand questions it's got to go through.

Yeah, yeah, that's cool.

It's a conversation.

It.

It understands what you said, it responds to what you said, it builds naturally on what is the next logical question.

And then you do five segments of 45 minutes, and then you get an autobiography, and then they turn it into this.

And remember, this is just the prototypes.

Yeah.

So this is me.

And no, I don't have any scary holograms or scary AI characters.

It's just a picture of me.

A better look in me I must give you.

So that's AI.

Steve.

Hi, I'm Steve Endicott's echo, here to answer any questions about his life, beliefs or attitudes that you may be interested in.

So how about asking me some questions?

Steve, where were you born and what sort of kid were you?

Are the grand beginnings?

Born on the gritty isle of Sheppey.

Definitely not a tropical paradise.

I was a bit of a handful.

A little ball of chaos, if you will.

Always up to something.

Exploring the world around me like I owned the place.

My early life.

Lots of mischief, a knack for negotiating my way into the bigger bedroom, and some serious resilience after that childhood accident.

And let me tell you, that shaped me into who I am.

Stubborn, confident and ready to tackle anything.

So, Steve, I believe you've been married twice.

What was wrong with your first wife?

Ah, the first marriage.

Well, let's just say it was more of a case of different life aspirations.

Leslie and I had some great times.

But sometimes you just grow apart.

You know how it goes.

We had our share of affection and conflict.

A teenager's ride of hormones and dreams.

She got pregnant and we faced some tough choices, which hit me hard.

But, hey, I learned a lot from it.

It's all part of the journey.

You adapt, you grow, and eventually you find the right partner who complements your chaos.

Enter Ruth.

Well, tell me about Ruth, then.

Ah, Ruth.

The gem I found after a bit of life's roller coaster.

Met her at a travel event.

Talk about serendipity.

We clicked over shared interests and managed to navigate the complexities of long distance dating.

Those arrangements were like juggling flaming swords.

But Ruth's fantastic.

She brings a level of calm to my chaos.

We blended our families and went on some cracking adventures together.

Our dynamic, smooth as butter, filled with lots of laughter and family holidays.

It's been a joy balancing our kids and making lasting memories.

I might even say she's the yin to my yang.

Okay.

What was your favorite job, Steve, and why?

Ah, favourite job.

That's like picking a favorite child.

Always tricky.

But you know what?

Working at Air Tours.

Amen.

Amen.

That's awesome.

Hopefully you get the concept.

Yeah.

So see how it's picked out.

My personality we are probably putting in control so you can actually tweak how it.

How it sounds at the end.

And yeah, make sure it tweaks down to what you think your personality is.

Mine's the prototype where it just come out the way it's come out.

Amen.

Amen.

Let me stop this record now.
