Narrator: Welcome friends to another episode of The Story and Experience podcast. Join your host, Japhet De Oliveira with his guest today, and discover the moments that shape us, our families and communities. Japhet De Oliveira: Hey friends. Welcome to another episode of the Story and Experience podcast.
I'm delighted to connect online virtually with our guest in another location to where I am. Hence, they are online and it's going to be fantastic today. If you are brand new to the podcast, you should know that we have questions. They become progressively more vulnerable and more open as we get close to , and our guest gets to choose where they want to go and what stories they want to share about their stories and experiences that shape their life into the leader that they are today.
So with that, they are smiling. This is a good sign and I'm happy for that. We will begin. I'll ask the first 10 and then we'll hand over to you to pick a number. So could you tell us your name and could you tell us if anybody ever mispronounces it? Sarah Gutierrez: Sure. My name is Sarah Gutierrez, and everybody always mispronounces my last name. Japhet De Oliveira: Oh, it's really good. That's good. Well, I'm glad to call you Sarah.
Japhet De Oliveira: Sarah with an H. So not Sara, but Sarah. That's great. Sarah Gutierrez: Correct, correct. Although I think at one point when I first met my mother-in-law 30 years ago, she asked me how to spell my name and I said, "Oh, there's an H in it.
She spelled my name Sahara. Sarah Gutierrez: Because she didn't know where the H was. And English is not her first language, it was adorable. I loved it. Japhet De Oliveira: That's cute. That's really cute. Well, you clarified it for sure. So Sarah, what do you do for work? I'm in another country, where is Simi Valley? We are about 15 minutes from the beach in Malibu-ish area, but we don't really feel that beach breeze per se.
