A Medical Doctor's Journey into the Realm of Telepathy and Psychic Phenomena

The salient focus of our discourse centers on the profound exploration of telepathy, an often overlooked and misunderstood phenomenon, as elucidated by Dr. Diane Cartwright. Throughout our conversation, we delve into Dr. Cartwright's compelling narrative, detailing her journey from a conventional medical background to her pursuit of parapsychological inquiry. We discuss her extensive research, which reveals that a significant portion of the population has experienced telepathic events, challenging the prevailing skepticism surrounding such phenomena. Dr. Cartwright articulates her belief that these abilities are intrinsic to human nature and merit recognition rather than dismissal. As we navigate this intricate subject, we invite our listeners to reflect upon their own experiences and the broader implications of telepathy within the realms of science and spirituality.

The discourse presented in this podcast episode intricately explores the nuanced realm of telepathy, a subject that Dr. Diane Cartwright has passionately investigated throughout her career. Dr. Cartwright, a seasoned medical professional, recounts the genesis of her fascination with psychic phenomena, which commenced during her adolescence when an extraordinary dream of her father foresaw a friend's demise. This pivotal moment catalyzed her journey into understanding the complexities of telepathy, leading her to conduct a survey among her patients, revealing that a remarkable 80% had experienced phenomena consistent with extrasensory perception. Through her empirical approach, she challenges the stigmatization of such experiences within the scientific community, positing that telepathy is an innate human capability, deserving recognition and exploration. As she articulates her findings, Dr. Cartwright not only sheds light on the prevalence of telepathic experiences but also advocates for a broader acceptance of psychic phenomena as integral to the human experience, thereby bridging the gap between science and spirituality.

The interview further delves into Dr. Cartwright's academic journey, revealing the societal constraints she faced as a woman seeking to enter the medical field during a time when such aspirations were met with skepticism. Her narrative is not merely autobiographical; it serves as a testament to the evolving perceptions of women's roles in science and medicine. The podcast also addresses the challenges Dr. Cartwright encountered when attempting to publish her research, underscoring the reluctance of established scientific institutions to embrace studies that delve into the metaphysical. This barrier has not deterred her, as she has chosen to disseminate her findings through her self-published book, thereby ensuring that the discourse surrounding telepathy is accessible to a wider audience. Through her compelling narrative, Dr. Cartwright invites listeners to reconsider the boundaries of scientific inquiry and to acknowledge the validity of personal experiences that defy conventional explanations.

In conclusion, the episode serves as a profound exploration of telepathy, articulated through the lens of a medical professional who has transcended the traditional confines of her discipline. Dr. Cartwright's insights not only illuminate the commonality of telepathic experiences among individuals but also challenge the scientific discourse to embrace a more holistic understanding of human consciousness. As the podcast unfolds, it becomes evident that the intersection of science and spirituality is not merely a realm of speculation, but a landscape rich with empirical possibility, warranting further investigation and open-minded consideration. This episode is a clarion call to both the academic community and the public to engage in a more profound dialogue regarding the mysteries of the human experience, encouraging a reevaluation of what is deemed possible within the expansive tapestry of life.

Speaker A:

Welcome to Deadly Departed PDN Books.

Speaker A:

Author.

Speaker A:

How are you?

Speaker B:

I'm fine, thanks, joc.

Speaker B:

Apart from all the technology problems, it's all good.

Speaker B:

So it's a pleasure to see you here today.

Speaker B:

Fire away.

Speaker B:

What would you like to know?

Speaker A:

Well, yeah, we got here.

Speaker A:

Finally.

Speaker A:

Finally we got here.

Speaker A:

We've had A bit of a time trying to get connected, but now we are and this is great.

Speaker A:

So listen, I know a little bit about you, I know a little bit about your wonderful book on telepathy or lost sense, but I think it may be a great introduction if you just tell people a little bit about you and then we'll get into how the book came around, you know, where your passion lay and maybe you know from your experiences what led you onto this field of research.

Speaker B:

Fine.

Speaker B:

So I was born at the end of the Second World War, so I'm a really old lady now, born in Brisbane, Australia and I grew up there in a very happy home with a sister and two brothers.

Speaker B:

And yeah, it's interesting, I studied both at the University of Queensland two times.

Speaker B:

The first time I did a biology degree in science and the second time I did medicine 10 years later.

Speaker B:

So in my day it wasn't kosher for a female to become a medico.

Speaker B:

It was considered to be a total waste of time because we wouldn't work, we'd marry, we'd have children and would all be great waste.

Speaker B:

That's what my parents thought anyway.

Speaker B:

So around about the same time came along the pill.

Speaker B:

And that made a huge difference to lots of women, including myself.

Speaker B:

So I was just fortunate I could go back and do medicine, which is my real passion in life, a bit later on.

Speaker B:

So I'll just tell you how I got interested in psychic phenomena.

Speaker B:

About the age of 17, my dad came out to the breakfast table one day and said, I've just had the strangest dream.

Speaker B:

And he said, I dreamt I saw our neighbor Frank sitting on his fence across the road.

Speaker B:

And he said, you know, he's been dead for three years.

Speaker B:

So he said I went over to him in my dream and I said, frank, what are you doing here?

Speaker B:

And he said, I'm waiting.

Speaker B:

And dad said, well, what are you waiting for?

Speaker B:

And he said, oh, you'll find out in the morning, I can't tell you.

Speaker B:

So that was the dream.

Speaker B:

And then later on that day we discovered that Frank's best friend, who lived down the end of our street, had died unexpectedly overnight from a heart attack.

Speaker B:

So this was a huge, amazing, mind boggling incident in our otherwise normal lives.

Speaker B:

And I'd have to say that I was fascinated by it and turned to reading lots of books like the Third Eye, written by some supposedly Tibetan monk.

Speaker B:

My sister turned to the Ouija board and my brother became a born again Christian.

Speaker B:

So that's where it all started about later on.

Speaker B:

Yeah, it was pretty was pretty incredible.

Speaker B:

About three years later, I started receiving telepathic messages about things that were going to happen or actually hear what somebody was going to say before they opened their mouth.

Speaker B:

And this eventually became much more common once I got into my 40s and 50s, although it was sporadic and unusual, and it was always absolutely incredible and never to be forgotten experience.

Speaker B:

And so I started knowing things about things that had happened, like somebody who died, and then I'd find out the following day that it was true.

Speaker B:

A friend of mine, I thought, she's going to have her baby tonight.

Speaker B:

I thought, that's a bit strange.

Speaker B:

She's not ready yet.

Speaker B:

You know, she's got another six weeks to go.

Speaker B:

And I discovered the next day she'd had her babies, she had three of them, she had triplets.

Speaker B:

So she'd been keeping it very quiet.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker B:

So eventually, you know, lots of different sorts of things were happening.

Speaker B:

I knew what was going to happen in the future.

Speaker B:

I was aware of dangerous things.

Speaker B:

I just.

Speaker B:

I'd been contacted by a couple of ghosts and I thought, well, what's going on here?

Speaker B:

I thought, how many people have these experiences?

Speaker B:

And I started talking to my friends, and then I found that almost every second person had one of these strange experiences, a strange psychic experience that they couldn't understand, couldn't believe, but put it down to a psychic experience because there was absolutely no other explanation for it.

Speaker B:

So towards the end of my career, after all this, I was thinking I was pretty special and that I thought, I wonder how many people can actually do this stuff, you know, even if it's only 5 or 10% of the population, that's millions of people all over the world.

Speaker B:

So at this point, I decided to survey my patients.

Speaker B:

So they come in to see me about their cough or cold or blood pressure tablets or any whatever.

Speaker B:

And when I finished, I would say to them, I'm doing a survey on a topic that interests me.

Speaker B:

Would you be willing to take part?

Speaker B:

And they all said, yes, of course.

Speaker B:

And then I would say, have you or any other member of your family ever had an experience of esp?

Speaker B:

Now, they pretty much all knew what ESP was, they all knew what it meant, and.

Speaker B:

And I was expecting 5 or 10% on the first day.

Speaker B:

More than half of them said yes, then proceeded to tell me this great, long, convoluted story that came out in big gushes of.

Speaker B:

And scrambled up.

Speaker B:

So they told me the ending first or the beginning or the middle.

Speaker B:

It was all haphazard, and at the end of the day, I was running Two hours late.

Speaker B:

And I thought, oh, my God, I can't do this.

Speaker B:

This is incredible.

Speaker B:

So, so I continued the survey, but I used to have to pick a day when I wasn't too heavily booked, and then I would ask every person on that day who came in these questions.

Speaker B:

And I also asked them about the telephone questions.

Speaker B:

So the telephone questions were, do you ever know who's on the telephone before you answer it?

Speaker B:

And the second question was, if you ring a friend that you haven't, or a relative you haven't spoken to for a long time, do they ever say, I was just thinking of you?

Speaker B:

And so to me, those two things mean that those two questions mean that if the people said yes to either one of them, they were receiving or sending a message to another person that was being received by that person's brain before the telephone actually rang and was answered.

Speaker B:

So this to me is an indication of telepathy, because telepathy is defined as mind to mind communication without using our normal senses of hearing and sight and sign language and reading and all those sorts of things.

Speaker B:

So the results were absolutely astounding.

Speaker B:

80% of my patients said yes to one of those questions.

Speaker B:

And that meant I was.

Speaker B:

When we talk about illnesses and diseases and things in medicine, we talk about the prevalence of something which is the, is the number of people who suffer from that particular illness or disease sometime during their life.

Speaker B:

So when 80% of the people said yes, that puts it up right up there with the common cold.

Speaker B:

It's as common as the common cold.

Speaker B:

So that was really intriguing.

Speaker B:

And then I thought, if this is so common, it means that it's a part of our ability as a human, it's part of our DNA.

Speaker B:

So it's got to work physiologically and it's got to obey the laws of physics.

Speaker B:

So how does it work?

Speaker B:

So eventually when I retired, then I had the time to sit down and start going into it.

Speaker A:

Hmm.

Speaker B:

So that's, that's the background of why I was interested in.

Speaker A:

And you didn't have.

Speaker A:

I just.

Speaker A:

Sorry, you.

Speaker A:

You said to me as well beforehand that with you being a doctor, a medical doctor, you had to do this all kind of quietly and sort because it was frowned upon.

Speaker A:

It was very difficult for you in Australia to do this research and then write about it and kind of come out into the masses.

Speaker A:

So you had to wait until literally you retired to be able to voice your opinion or to share your research.

Speaker A:

But you correct me if I'm wrong, you were doing this research for a very long time before you even.

Speaker A:

You retired.

Speaker B:

Oh, well, only for the year before I retired.

Speaker B:

Took me a whole year to do the survey and then I retired.

Speaker A:

Right, so yeah, so you did it for a year.

Speaker B:

Okay, I did it for a year, which is unfortunate really because you know, I didn't set it up properly scientifically, although I did all the right things.

Speaker B:

I didn't get.

Speaker A:

Yeah, it was your own research and.

Speaker B:

I didn't do all of that stuff.

Speaker B:

And so when I later tried to get it published academically, nobody wanted to know me.

Speaker B:

So I went to the University of townsville that I. J.C. james Cook University based in Townsville gains which I.

Speaker B:

Which I was a associate adjunct lecturer for.

Speaker B:

I went to Queensland University where from which I had 2 degrees.

Speaker B:

I tried the Australian College of General Practitioners.

Speaker B:

Absolutely nobody wanted to know about my work.

Speaker B:

As soon as I.

Speaker A:

None of them would look at you.

Speaker B:

And none of them would look at it.

Speaker B:

And then even the Journal of Scientific Exploration, the Parapsychology Journal, they didn't like it either because I hadn't set up the survey exactly the way they would have done it.

Speaker A:

So yeah, no irb, no ethics, nothing like that.

Speaker B:

Yeah, yeah, so I did have ethics because I always asked my patients for verbal permission, but I didn't get them to sign a piece of paper.

Speaker B:

So that was where I came unstuck.

Speaker B:

So although the survey was conducted properly, the findings of it can't be published academically.

Speaker B:

Which is why I decided to write the book.

Speaker B:

Because I think that this is a really important thing that people need to know.

Speaker B:

They need to know that telepathy and some other psychic experiences are very common amongst humans, that they're not something to be secretive about or hidden away.

Speaker B:

It's nothing to be feared, it's just part of who we are.

Speaker B:

And yeah, so that's why I started researching and writing the book.

Speaker A:

And how did your, how did, when you finished the book, Diane, and you published that book, how did your peers accept that?

Speaker A:

I mean you obviously didn't care then cause you'd retired.

Speaker A:

But did you get any kind of flashback from it?

Speaker A:

Did you any push back and stuff?

Speaker B:

No, I don't think that the Medical college or the College of General Practitioners or any of those people actually know about my book because it's very hard to get it into the sight of the general community and into society because I was self published.

Speaker B:

So you don't start off with a big book launch and fanfare from a recognized publishing company.

Speaker B:

So yeah, so so far I don't think too many of them know about it.

Speaker B:

The doctors who do know about it all say, oh yes, that's interesting.

Speaker B:

I can do that, or my mother can do that, or somebody, you know, amongst my friends and peers that I know about it.

Speaker B:

They're all very accepting of it.

Speaker B:

And then quite a lot of people say, oh yes, the scientists are very secretive.

Speaker B:

So when I asked my friend who is a quantum physicist, yes, they are a hands up about how she thought this might work and was it anything to do with quantum physics?

Speaker B:

She said, it's absolutely nothing to do with quantum physics and it's probably an antenna.

Speaker B:

Your brain is acting as an antenna for electromagnetic radiation.

Speaker B:

So I said, oh, okay, fine.

Speaker B:

She said, now if you're going to write a book about this or publish this, do not mention my name.

Speaker B:

And that's the way it's been.

Speaker A:

Where have I heard that before?

Speaker B:

Yeah, I ask all these.

Speaker B:

I had to reach out to quite a lot of people in different fields.

Speaker B:

Like there was this lovely guy who was a lecturer in physics and had given a course at Liverpool University or somewhere like that on how antennas worked.

Speaker B:

And when I reached out to him, he said, oh, this is really interesting.

Speaker B:

Write me these six page letters.

Speaker B:

And then he said, I can't do this, I'm a laser physicist.

Speaker B:

And he said, I don't want to hear any more about it.

Speaker B:

So I said, okay, you know, it's just.

Speaker B:

That's pervasive throughout the scientific community.

Speaker A:

Absolutely it is.

Speaker A:

And I think, but however, I do think that we are making ground and certainly we are breaking some scientific barriers.

Speaker A:

And as you probably know, the parapsychological association was accepted into the scientific community.

Speaker A:

And what people don't understand out there, Diane, is that in parapsychology we do have very scientific methodology for measuring anomalous phenomena and probably even more stringent than some other materialistic frameworks.

Speaker A:

So I think, you know, it's.

Speaker A:

And, and of course your book is a great time now because telepathy, with the telepathy tapes and everything else is kind of becoming a bit of a, a bit of a keyword, a bit of a buzzword.

Speaker A:

Everybody wants to know about it.

Speaker A:

So it's an innate.

Speaker A:

Now, I love the fact in your book, you, you mentioned that this is a forgotten sense.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And I couldn't, I couldn't agree with you anymore because that to me is, is a forgotten gift or a forgotten aspect of us that, that, that people don't realize they have.

Speaker A:

And when you were, when you were talking to your patients, was any of them surprised that you were actually doing this?

Speaker A:

Research.

Speaker B:

They were surprised when I asked them the question about the did had they had an experience of asb.

Speaker B:

I used to get this long silence and they'd absolutely stare at me with this really penetrating stare.

Speaker B:

And they'd look at me so I had to maintain eye contact so they didn't think I was tricking them or being dishonest or anything like that.

Speaker B:

And then they'd eventually say, yes, I have.

Speaker B:

And away they go.

Speaker B:

So excited.

Speaker B:

So they're all really excited to be able to discuss it with someone.

Speaker B:

And they had never ever, most of them discussed it with anybody outside their family.

Speaker B:

So yeah, it was, it was, it was fun to do it.

Speaker A:

Can you give.

Speaker A:

Give me for people that are listening, for people that are listening out there, give me probably one of your greatest examples that's in your book that would make someone think, wow, yeah, I've probably experienced that as well.

Speaker A:

And obviously we want them to read your book.

Speaker A:

But what is one of the strongest examples of telepathy from within the pages of your book?

Speaker B:

Let me think.

Speaker B:

You might have to edit this a bit, Jock, so that we can cut out this gap while my brain ticks around.

Speaker A:

Let me think, Listen, you do it finding.

Speaker A:

Don't need to worry about editing because I've written several books, I've been on many shows and I've been asked questions about Deadly Departed and my books I've written.

Speaker A:

I'm like, hang on a minute now, I can't remember what bit I wrote that.

Speaker A:

So don't you worry.

Speaker B:

Gosh, that's a tricky question.

Speaker B:

I heard so many stories that were so mind boggling.

Speaker B:

But to narrow it down to one of the telepathy stories, probably.

Speaker A:

Well, let me ask you, let me make it a bit easier for you.

Speaker A:

Was there anybody that was maybe a peer of yours, maybe somebody that you spoke to that was a researcher or in the scientific community that shocked you by saying, you know what, I have had these experiences and.

Speaker A:

But they've never been able to speak about it.

Speaker B:

Well, I guess, yes, one of my friends, this is a story I heard before I did the survey.

Speaker B:

This was a mind blowing story.

Speaker B:

He was one of two children and his father died when he was quite young, maybe about five or six, and he had a small sister.

Speaker B:

And this was, he was my vintage.

Speaker B:

So this was back.

Speaker B:

He was a bit older than I was, so he was actually born during the Second World War.

Speaker B:

And in those days it was very difficult for women to bring up two kids on their own.

Speaker B:

So his mother managed to get a job as an Uttered at a cinema, a movie theater.

Speaker B:

And this particular night she'd had to leave the cinema with Graham, rush off to the childcare person and pick up her little child.

Speaker B:

And she'd forgotten to do something at work, so they had to go back to the work.

Speaker B:

And they were in the theater, it was all dark, there was just a couple of lights on here and there.

Speaker B:

And they were walking up the stairs to go up to the.

Speaker B:

The actual projection room.

Speaker B:

And there was a person standing up the top of the stairs, dressed in a long sort of overcoat and hat on his head.

Speaker B:

And Graham said, there's daddy.

Speaker B:

And so he ran up the stairs to greet this person and his mother saw his father as well.

Speaker B:

So the two of them saw the father and both together and in the dim light and.

Speaker B:

Yeah, and so that was one of the first stories I heard from a friend who'd never talked about it outside his family.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And that was one of the ones that set me to asking other people what their experiences had been.

Speaker B:

Other friends.

Speaker B:

And I got those sorts of experiences.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And some of the telepathy experiences, they're not straight telepathy.

Speaker B:

The most mind boggling story I heard was also a lady who had dreams about a friend of hers.

Speaker B:

And she was only.

Speaker B:

She was quite young and she dreamt on the Wednesday night that there was a car accident and she saw a person, a body sitting propped up against a fence and there was this very frightening.

Speaker B:

So she ran in, she woke up, she ran in, she woke up her parents and told them all about her dream.

Speaker B:

And on the Thursday night she had another dream.

Speaker B:

And in this dream she'd run to a house nearby and she was wanting to use the telephone to ring up the police or ambulance about this accident.

Speaker B:

And the owner of the house said that he'd already rung and so she was wrestling with this person to try and get the phone off him so that she could tell her story.

Speaker B:

And on the Friday night, and again she woke up her parents.

Speaker B:

And on the Friday night she had another dream.

Speaker B:

And in this dream she was being put into an ambulance and she couldn't breathe and she thought she'd broken a collarbone, but she was gasping for air and she couldn't breathe and she was somehow very unhappy with what was going on.

Speaker B:

So that was it.

Speaker B:

And the third night she woke her parents up as well.

Speaker B:

So on the Saturday she was supposed to be going out with her boyfriend on Sunday and she rang him up and she said, I'm canceling our trip on Sunday because I need to Be with my friend.

Speaker B:

And on the Sunday, she heard that her friend was in hospital and had had an accident.

Speaker B:

So.

Speaker B:

So she went in to see her friend, and her friend told her the story of what had happened.

Speaker B:

And they'd been in the car.

Speaker B:

There's a group of teenagers.

Speaker B:

One of the girls was thrown out of the car, hit a head and died and was propped up against the fence.

Speaker B:

This girl was the only one who was conscious.

Speaker B:

She jumped out of the car into a neighbor's house or somebody.

Speaker B:

A house nearby.

Speaker B:

And the same.

Speaker B:

The telephone thing happened that she was trying to.

Speaker B:

Wanted to make a call on the phone, and the guy said, I heard the accident.

Speaker B:

I've called already.

Speaker B:

And the third thing was, was that she was perfectly all right.

Speaker B:

But when the ambulance arrived, they insisted that she should get into the ambulance and be taken to the hospital.

Speaker B:

And they put a mask over her face to put.

Speaker B:

Give her some oxygen and stuff.

Speaker B:

And she didn't like the mask, and she was fighting with them to try and get the mask off, and she couldn't breathe.

Speaker B:

So that was the most amazing story.

Speaker B:

And that story was told to me on the very first day that I started doing my survey.

Speaker B:

So that was a big.

Speaker B:

A big hurry up to keep doing the survey and keep going with it and pursue it.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So I think that was probably the most amazing story I heard.

Speaker B:

And it's sort of a combination.

Speaker A:

That's absolutely fantastic.

Speaker A:

That's an amazing story, Diane.

Speaker B:

It's impossible to say where clairvoyance and telepathy meet.

Speaker B:

On that one, you know, she was obviously seeing the incident through the eyes of her friend, but it hadn't happened yet.

Speaker B:

It happened on the Saturday night.

Speaker B:

So, you know, it was three years.

Speaker A:

So you're having a precognitive experience.

Speaker B:

Yes, yeah, exactly.

Speaker B:

So that, to me, was probably the most interesting of all the stories that I heard.

Speaker B:

What's your next question, Jock?

Speaker A:

Well, Diane, thank you.

Speaker A:

I want everybody that's listening to this to, if they're interested in psychic phenomena, ESP and telepathy, to dive in and to check your book.

Speaker A:

They're going to get a link to your book from this podcast episode, from this PDN Books episode, But also they can go on to Paranormal Daily News.

Speaker A:

You've got a whole book page there where they can connect with you and they can buy that book.

Speaker A:

Because I think it's brilliant what you've done with your book and publishing the book on your own.

Speaker A:

And I think for someone in your position as a medical doctor, I think to have the courage to go against the grain of your peers and what people expect from you in the medical community takes a great deal of courage for what you've actually done, Diane.

Speaker A:

And for that, I think, you know, I take my hat off to you.

Speaker A:

And it's a lot easier for some of us that have been doing this for a long time that don't have that worry in your field, in the medical field.

Speaker A:

A good friend of mine is a psychiatrist, and he had to come out and really shake the whole scientific community because of his experiences.

Speaker A:

And that takes a great deal of courage.

Speaker A:

So, Diane, thank you for being with me on this book episode on Deadly Departed.

Speaker A:

I wish you all the very best and we are going to get you back so we can have a longer and a deeper conversation.

Speaker A:

Once we got your camera and everything else and all the technology sorted out, we'll have you back.

Speaker A:

But it's been a pleasure connecting with you and it's been really great to hear your story and your passion, and I wish you the very best.

Speaker A:

And ladies and gentlemen, it's great to read a book.

Speaker A:

Someone like myself, my wife, other people that are mediums that have these experiences, but it's very different, ladies and gentlemen, when someone comes from a very scientific side of things, from a materialistic perspective.

Speaker A:

If you've listened to some of the podcast episodes before, I've spoken to scientists and just more recently, Marjorie Wilcock, who is a neuroscientist and has totally changed her whole direction in her life with the experience she's had.

Speaker A:

So telepathy, scientific studying telepathy, the power that we have of our innate intuition or psychic senses, ESP is very real.

Speaker A:

And I would urge any one of you to go out and click the link below, get Diane's book and read it from her perspective as a medical doctor and doing her own research with her own patients into their experiences.

Speaker A:

Diane, thank you so much for being with me this evening.

Speaker B:

Thank you, joc.

Speaker B:

It's been a pleasure and I've really enjoyed our chat.

Speaker A:

And this is the first of many, Diane, don't you worry.

Speaker A:

We've just got to get the technology right for you so that I can see you and everybody else can see you.

Speaker A:

And she's gonna be back, ladies and gentlemen, talking more about her experiences in telepathy.

Speaker A:

So send in your questions to Paranormal Daily News or on Deadly Departed on our Deadly Departed site.

Speaker A:

Or, of course, you can even message us through our episodes on wherever you listen to them.

Speaker A:

You can message us and get in touch with us.
