Full um disclosure here. I'm I'm I'm a skeptic. >> That was my next question. I like it.
00:00:04
No. So was I. [laughter] Really? >> Yeah. So my background for those that don't know, I'm my background was law.
00:00:09
My last inverted commas proper job was criminal prosecution. I wasn't raised
00:00:13
religious. I didn't have a view of the afterlife. If anything, when I was in my
00:00:16
early 20s, I was that stereotypical early 20s kind of guy. Like if I don't see it, it doesn't exist. I started off
00:00:21
because I I just started a new job and I had a work colleague and she said to me,
00:00:25
"Have you ever been to a medium before?" And I was like, "Well, not really. Like
00:00:28
I don't really believe in it." and she says, "No, no, I know a lady who's
00:00:31
great. You should go see her." And I was like, "Okay, well, I'll go see what she
00:00:34
brings up." And within 5 minutes, she said something um you know, my grandfather had crossed over at that
00:00:39
stage. And she relayed like a conversation that him and I had had together. And we could sit for 100
00:00:43
years, Dom, you'd never even guess it. >> So, I was like, "Okay, that's
00:00:46
interesting." [laughter] And she said to me, she says, "You realize you can do this?" And I was
00:00:52
like, "Absolutely not." And she said, "I thought you knew, but the more that
00:00:55
we're talking, like we're 5 10 minutes into the reading and I realize you've
00:00:58
literally got no idea and this is your first ever time.
