Jn 6,41-51. Los judíos murmuraban de él, porque había dicho: "Yo soy el pan bajado del cielo". Y decían: "¿Acaso este no es Jesús, el hijo de José? Nosotros conocemos a su padre y a su madre. ¿Cómo puede decir ahora: 'Yo he bajado del cielo'?" Jesús tomó la palabra y les dijo: "No murmuren entre ustedes. Nadie puede venir a mí, si no lo atrae el Padre que me envió; y yo lo resucitaré en el último día. Está escrito en el libro de los Profetas: Todos serán instruidos por Dios. Todo el que oyó al Padre y recibe su enseñanza, viene a mí. Nadie ha visto nunca al Padre, sino el que viene de Dios: sólo él ha visto al Padre. Les aseguro que el que cree, tiene Vida eterna. Yo soy el pan de Vida. Sus padres, en el desierto, comieron el maná y murieron. Pero este es el pan que desciende del cielo, para que aquel que lo coma no muera. Yo soy el pan vivo bajado del cielo. El que coma de este pan vivirá eternamente, y el pan que yo daré es mi carne para la Vida del mundo". Voz y Meditación Fr Pedro Brassesco. www.rosariodelaaurora.org

Juan 16,16-20. Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: "Dentro de poco, ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver". Entonces algunos de sus discípulos comentaban entre sí: "¿Qué significa esto que nos dice: 'Dentro de poco ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver'?. ¿Y que significa: 'Yo me voy al Padre'?". Decían: "¿Qué es este poco de tiempo? No entendemos lo que quiere decir". Jesús se dio cuenta de que deseaban interrogarlo y les dijo: "Ustedes se preguntan entre sí qué significan mis palabras: 'Dentro de poco, ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver'. Les aseguro que ustedes van a llorar y se van a lamentar; el mundo, en cambio, se alegrará. Ustedes estarán tristes, pero esa tristeza se convertirá en gozo."

Judah - Wangol Sko: What's happenin family? Let's see… I walked up late, at like 2:08 so I want to give a shout out to the Potawatomi and Ho-Chunk and the Menominee. [00:02:41] So, we out here talking about the theft of the lives of descendents of stolen people, on stolen land, and a bunch of folks are embarrassed about looting. Right? Is that right? [00:03:07] I didn’t write no bars, I don’t have no songs in my pocket, I was brought almost to tears. One of the things, one of those lyrics 'Ti moun you pran lwa' that means roughly --it’s the invocation for young people to come to the gods of their ancestors. Now, I’m not a Christian, but Jesus was lynched. All my queer family, Stonewall was a riot led by Black trans women. So, what are you talking about? [00:03:46] There’s people out here who heard about this day, were invited to this day, and I’m going to try to do well. At the time that they came out they were embarrassed, they were embarrassed at these young people with no degrees and you know like no education and no savoir-faire running around in the streets. [00:04:15] And they wanted to say 'Yo, they out here. This is not right. This is not the way to dissent.' [00:04:22] But I have to tell you when I see in L.A. they talking about major steps to defund the police. [00:04:30] When I see the Minneapolis City Council talking about maybe like police is not what we need at all. [00:04:37] Then I feel like for those who are embarrassed, like maybe you’re embarrassed because people got up in the street after hundreds of years, and decades, and even just these last four months, where the system told them over and over again that they didn’t care about them, they didn’t care about their voices, they didn’t care about their votes, and they tore down some capital, right? And in two weeks some things are actually changing faster than any of these votes changed anything. [00:05:22] I’m not sure that I can add a whole lot to what Nick Davis and what brother Winchester and what that young sister Liana gave you. But I’m going to say this: a couple weeks ago a sister of mine called me weeping because there’s enough without George Floyd or Tony McDade or Breonna Taylor. There’s always something to weep about. She said, 'I don’t know. what does liberation look like?' And I can’t tell you that I know what that is, but I’mma just tell you the things that came through me when she asked me. And if you’re here and you’re about that, then you know, do something. [00:06:17] My big brother Judah said, if you got some privilege risk it. So, we could talk about that, but I’m going to say liberation looks like, so far as I can tell, quiet to hear the voices of our ancestors and descendants. [00:06:47] Space to live our purposes and destinies. [00:06:50] Time and access to feel the earth, and touch the sun, and a deep practice of care and honor for each other’s humanity and divinity. [00:07:00] And if you think that’s like feel-good shit then you don’t know about the strength of the spirit and what that looks like in practice and action. Sometimes what that looks like is self-defense. [00:07:16] You know, Judah said tell the truth. Last time I was in a crowd this large or this mixed, I got myself in trouble. I was at Niles North High School talking about truth in Black history month. And afterwards I had to do a next set, which was like a teach-in with a whole bunch of faculty and staff to try to figure out how they were going to handle the outcome of what I said. [00:07:56] Listen, here’s what I’ll say. I want you to listen critically. I want you to continue to talk to each other and among each other. And I want you to think about the things that were said today that were true. Think about the things that were radical, and think about the things that were said out of fear. Think about the things that were said because people want to hold on to the structures that we have right now and are afraid to imagine something new and something different. [00:08:25] I want to ask you to be brave. [00:08:28] Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid, it just means going on. I don’t know what tomorrow is going to look like, but I want to imagine it and build it together with you. And it can’t look like what today looks like. [00:08:44] So many people were talking in the last couple months about 'going back to normal.' Man, normal was killing us. Normal is still killing us. Imagine something else, y’all. And listen critically, think critically, cause we are not all saying the same things. And we don’t all have to, but we’ve got to find a way forward and sometimes that means we have to dare. [00:09:19] Sometimes that means we have to be bold. [00:09:23] I’m not going to leave you with no rah-rah slogans, that’s not what I’m feeling right now. We’ve got to all play our positions and bring the thing that our ancestors sent us with. The thing that gives you joy, the thing that makes you feel alive. Bend that into the service of justice and freedom. And you will have done what you came here to do. [00:09:54]
Once again, get a pen and paper, find a quiet spot, and dive deep to answer these questions to discover your life purpose. What are your greatest regrets? Who inspires you the most? What are your natural talents? What makes you feel good about yourself? In what areas do people ask for your help? What memories do you want to have as an 80 Y/O?

¡Hola, hola Flamingada! Volvemos a la actualidad podcastil con un nuevo programa salpicado de nostalgia y burradas a partes iguales. Os contamos lo que se llevaba en las jugueterías y en los patios de colegio cuando éramos unos tiernos polluelos desplumados. Pero, ojo, esto no va a ser todo lo bonito que el enunciado hace parecer. Por lo general, casi todos los juguetes y cacharros de los que hablamos acababan mutilados, torturados sin piedad, quemados, explotados, destruidos o, en el mejor de los casos, pintarrajeados. Así que si esperabas un programa más de nostalgia friki, te has equivocado de charca; esto no es un 'Yo fui a EGB´(eso ya está muy sobao). Venga, ¡ya le estás dando al play! (Y déjanos un poco de amor en forma de Likes y comentarios, joer, que es gratis y nos da vidilla para volver con renovadas fuerzas). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Facebook: pinkflamingosradio Twitter: @flamingosradio Instagram: @pinkflamingosradio (Además de en Ivoox, también nos puedes escuchar en Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn y en alguna más).

Resources NMN Bio by Elena Seranova Lifespan by David Sinclair The Dream of Life by Alan Watts Learn more about Daryl’s group coaching and pay-for-performance model! The Best Business Podcast with Daryl Urbanski Episode Highlights [7:02] How Daryl Started Out Daryl was orphaned as a kid, and his stepdad was an entrepreneur. His father showed Daryl that an entrepreneur was someone who is of service and respected by their community. He wanted to be like that too, so he shovelled driveways and did a newspaper route for money at a young age. Since Daryl was an orphan, he felt the need to be self-sufficient and self-directed. At 17, he joined a company that was one of the early pioneers of early marketing, got interested in growing businesses, and the rest is history. [10:45] Katimavik Daryl was part of Katimavik, a Canadian social program in which ten children aged 17-21 live, travel and work across Canada. Katimavik was a turning point in Daryl's life. Daryl initially lived in a dangerous city. Katimavik was his way out. It was a source of many experiences for Daryl. [21:52] Youth Development In raising his daughter, Daryl has a thing called neglect under supervision, where he tries to carefully neglect her in some ways to let her develop, grow and overcome obstacles. He won’t stop her from falling, but he’ll try his best to catch her. Growing up in a city is more about surviving in social dynamics than the social and environmental dynamics you find when you grow up on a farm. Children would benefit from more physical activity in their lives. They'd develop differently, and would not feel the need to lash out violently. Children need a better sense of responsibility and consequences — power and skill are earned. [27:17] Lessons from Martial Arts Martial arts teaches progression: your skills will develop over time, through with observation and training. You learn about people and how your emotions impact decision-making. Martial arts isn’t just about training but also about recovery and rest. The best way to get out of a bad situation is to prevent it from happening. When he first learned martial arts, he thought it was about doing things to people. In reality, it’s about self-control and boundaries. Martial arts also taught Daryl about overcoming obstacles and testing himself. [39:04] The Secret to Building Businesses There are many great places to start, and one of the hardest ones is getting something new going. Always start with a market. Find a problem you’re willing to solve for people. The purpose of a business is to locate a prospect and turn that into a customer who returns. Figure out what problem you want to solve, then design it and do it in a scalable way. The critical success factors for businesses are self-efficacy, strategic planning, marketing, strategy, market intelligence, money management, business operating systems, business intelligence and government and economic factors. [46:05] The Next Level Ask yourself where the customers are and where they want to go. Can you take them there? Fix what makes your customers unhappy, find out how to get busy and aim for consistency. What helps your team grow is documentation and training. Create systems. How do you communicate your vision and keep the team productive? [50:23] Getting Out of the Startup Gate The hardest part is dealing with the imposter syndrome and self-doubt. It’s all about managing stress and avoiding burnout. Many people sacrifice their health to make money but end up spending all their money trying to get their health back. It is better to collect money first and then develop a product. [56:39] Daryl’s Current Core Focus Now, Daryl is focused on group coaching. For people who want more dedicated attention, he has a virtual VP of Marketing service. He also has a pay for performance model, where people only have to pay if they make a profit. [1:00:05] On Keywords and Google Trends Keywords can tell you how many people are thinking about this particular thing. Keywords are a powerful tool from a market intelligence standpoint. From keywords, you learn what people are looking for, where they are and more. Make your marketing about your customer. [1:04:03] What You Need to Be an Entrepreneur Be transparent. People need to trust you for them to give you their money. You’re going to need all eight success factors, but most importantly, answer the question: ‘What problem are you solving’? 7 Powerful Quotes from this Episode ‘Life is full of challenges and hurdles, and through overcoming those we develop our character’. ‘Pain often…makes you stronger and makes you more able to withstand—that’s what exercise is all about. You hurt yourself, you get stronger’. ‘It’s not just training, but it’s also how to recover and rest…Silence is part of music just as much as music is’. ‘Prevention is so much better than cure…the best solution is, don't let them do it to you in the first place. Know it, recognise the signs and protect yourself before it happens’. ‘It’s not even about being the best, the smartest, the brightest. It’s about making the least mistakes’. ‘You don’t know what you’re capable of until you do it’. ‘Evolution is about growth and challenge and overcoming obstacles’.

Welcome to Pushing The Limits, the show that helps you reach your full potential with your host Lisa Tamati, brought to you by lisatamati.com. Lisa Tamati: You're listening to Pushing The Limits with your host, Lisa Tamati. Thank you once again for joining me. Today I have another exciting podcast with a man named Daryl Urbanski. Now, Daryl is a very well known business coach. So today, quite something different for you. This is all about what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Daryl is also a martial artist. So, he uses a lot of analogies from his sporting as we do in this podcast, from a sporting life and how that helps him in his career and also helping others build businesses. Now, he's helped over 1,000 businesses in his career in 50 different industries, and this guy knows how to grow and scale and overcome problems. So, he's a real expert in this area, and I really enjoyed our conversation. Before we head over to Daryl in Vietnam, just wanted to remind you, if you're into finding out all about your genes, and what they have to say about you and how you can influence your genes to live your optimal lifestyle and be your best self, then make sure you check out what we do in our Epigenetics Program. So, this is all about understanding your genes and how they are expressing at the moment how the environment is influencing them, and then optimising everything, from your food to your exercise right through to your mindset, your social, your career, all aspects of life are covered in this really revolutionary programme. Now, this programme is not something that we've put together; this has been put together by literally hundreds of scientists from 15 different science disciplines, all working together for over 20 years to bring this really next level cutting edge information about your genes and how you can find out how to optimise them. No longer do you need trial and error; you can work out what the best diet is, when the best time to eat is, exactly the right foods to eat right down to the level of, 'eat bok choy, don't eat spinach', that type of thing. And as—but it's so much more than just a food and exercise. It also looks at your health and anything that may be troubling you and future and how to deal with it. So, it's a really comprehensive programme, and I'd love you to check it out. You can visit us at lisatamati.com, hit the Work with Us button and you'll see our Epigenetics Program. We've also got our online run coaching as normal, customised, personalised, run training system, where we make a plan specific to you and to your needs and your goals. And you get a session with me—a one on one session with me and a full video analysis of your running so that we can help you improve your style, your form, your efficiency, plus a full-on plan that includes all your strength training, your mobility workouts, and great community, of course. So make sure you check that out at runninghotcoaching.com. And the last thing before we go over to the show, I have just started a new venture with Dr Elena Seranova, who is a molecular biologist from the UK, originally from Russia, and she is a expert in autophagy in stem cells, and she has made a supplement called NMN. Now, you may have heard of this nicotinamide mononucleotide. It's a big fancy word, I know. But you will be hearing more about this. It's been on the Joe Rogan show; it's been on Dr Rhonda Patrick show, some big names now talking all about this amazing longevity compound, anti-aging compound. Now, this is based on the work of Dr David Sinclair, who wrote the book, Lifespan: Why We Age and or How We Age and Why We Don't Need To. He is a Harvard Medical School researcher who has been studying longevity and anti-aging and is at the really the world's forefront of all the technologies to do with turning the clock back and who doesn't want to do that? So I've teamed up with Dr Elena to import nicotinamide mononucleotide, our supplement from NMN bio into New Zealand and Australia. So if you are keen to get your hands on some because this was not available prior in New Zealand, I wanted a reputable company, a place that I could really know that the supplements that I'm getting is quality, that it's been lab-tested, that it was a scientist behind it, a lab behind it, and this is a real deal. Now, I've been on this now for four months and so as my mom and my husband, and I've noticed massive changes in my life. Certainly, weight loss has been one of those things, that stubborn last couple of kilos that I've been fighting have gone without any muscle loss which has been really very interesting. It improves also cardiovascular health, your memory cognition, the speed of your thinking; all the things that start to decline as you age. And the reason this is happening is because we have declining levels of NAD, another big word, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. And this NMN is a precursor for NAD. So, lots of big words, lots of science. f you want to find more about that, you can head over to lisatamati.com, under the Shop button, you will find out all about our anti-aging supplement NMN, and we're about to launch a new website which will be nmnbio.nz, but that's not quite up there yet, but it probably is by the time this podcast comes out. So, check that one out to nmnbio.nz, bio, just B-I-O. If you want to stop—well, not completely stop aging, but if you want to slow the clock down and get the best information that's out there then make sure you read Dr David Sinclair's book, Lifespan it's an absolute game-changer. You'll be absolutely amazed at some of the stuff that's happening and what they consider my mononucleotide can already do. So check that out. Okay, without further ado over to the show with Daryl Urbanski. Lisa Tamati: Well, hi, everyone and welcome back to Pushing The Limits. Today I have the lovely Daryl Urbanski with me who is sitting in Danang in Vietnam. And Daryl, this is gonna be a little bit of a different episode because usually I've got some health science-y thing or some are elite athlete doing—well, not to say that Daryl was not an elite athlete because he is into martial arts. But Daryl’s specialty and what he's come to share with you guys today is, he is a business expert and a marketing expert, and also a mindset expert, I would like to say. So Daryl, welcome to the show. Fantastic to have you. Daryl Urbanski: Yes, it's an honour and pleasure to be here. We've had some good conversations, like minds, two birds of a feather. Just an honour and a pleasure to be here. Lisa: Yes. Thank you so much, Daryl, for coming on today. So, Daryl and I cross pass by his lovely lady who organises half my life as far as the business side of things goes. So it's been a fantastic liaison. And—but Daryl was actually here on his own accord. And he's—so Daryl, I want you to give us a bit of a brief background, where have you come from, how did you end up in Vietnam? And what do you do for a living? Daryl: Right, so I'm Canadian. So I'm from Canada, travelled all over the world, and I don't know if it's too short. So that's where I come from, I ended up in Vietnam. That's a long story. So I guess I'm Canadian. I'm in Vietnam. I help businesses or websites get customers and keep them to make more money. And that's really kind of it in a nutshell. It's been a long journey. When I was a kid I was an orphan and my adopted family, actually my step adopted dad's the one that really raised me and his brother, my uncle. We would visit him every time we went to Toronto, and he was a bit of an entrepreneur. He also did some property management in that and every time we went to visit I almost felt like he was kind of like the Godfather. What I meant was people were always coming by with like, a gift basket or to thank him for something. So the impression that was put in my mind was like to be an entrepreneur is to be of service to the community, and to get people's respect and adoration for the good that you're bringing. And that was really like—I know, there's all sorts of different like your salesmen, and everyone's got different images. But that was when I was a young kid, I was like, ‘Wow, I want to be valued by my community, too’. So that really laid an impression on me at a young age. Again, I didn't have the lemonade stand, I didn't mow lawn, but I did shovel driveways. We have so much snow in Canada in the wintertime. We would shovel driveways for money. I did have a newspaper route. And just at a young age, I just kind of felt, maybe because I was an orphan, but I felt the need to be self-sufficient and self-directed. Yes... Lisa: How to be your own ship, really. Daryl: Yes, sort of. Yes, I just—I also had issues like I did air cadets when I was a kid. There's some other kids, they were using their authority outside of cadets to try to, like, lord over people and stuff. And right away, I kind of learned at a young age, you kind of have to be careful—you can manage up, let's just put it that way. It's not just managing down, but you can manage up, and you can choose who's above you too, it's a two-way street. So I really laid an impression on the young age. And then when I was 17, I added a co-op in university with the company called marketme.ca and they were just one of the early pioneers of online marketing. Got me into the whole business growth avenue and that... Lisa: The rest is history. Yes, now that's fabulous. So you from like, in my young years, like I was an entrepreneur from the get-go. I never fit in in anybody's corporate square box. Tried—I tried, I failed. Did you have that feeling like you were just outside of like, you just wanted to be in charge? Because you've been in business, basically, since you were 17 years old. And you've learned a heck of a lot on this massive business journey that you've been on. And you've helped—I know that you've helped over 1,000 businesses in 50 plus industries. And you've really grown into this role of helping businesses scale up and grow and develop your own systems around this. But did you have an idea when you were that 17-year old that this was where you were going, and this is the direction? Or has it sort of meandered throughout time? Daryl: No, I was—because I think I had a lot of, they say, like everything, I'm not maybe everything that I am and not knowing my biological roots, and that as a kid left me really to kind of be given the path of self-discovery, you could say from a young age. A lot of confusion, maybe anger in my younger years as well. But what really made the difference, at least in the earliest days, was that when I was 17, I ended up at Canadian government programme called Katimavik, which means ‘meeting places’. Inuit, which a lot of people call them Eskimos. But now we say the people of the North, the natives of the North they’re Inuit, which means snow people. Eskimo means meat-eater or flesh-eater. So they don't like being called Eskimos, you call them Inuit, but Katimavik is an Inuit word, and it means ‘meeting place’. And it's a government programme that's been on and off over the last 40-50 years in Canada. And really what the—when I did it with the terms of the programme where it's a social programme sponsored by the government, 17 to 21-year-old youth, and then what they do is they put a group of 10 kids together, and the group of 10 kids is supposed to represent Canada. So, what that means is that they grab some from the east coast, the west coast from up north they try to make it, so it's representative. Like we had half guys have girls. French, we have three French speakers, right? Then the English speakers. We had an Inuit guy Kenny, who when he came, he actually didn't even speak English. We always knew when the phone was for Kenny because we didn't—it all be like, '[mumbles] Kenny this is for you, I don't know what's happening, either it's a bad connection, or this is someone who talks in their language'. And that programme, what we did—when I did it was we spent three months in British Columbia, three months in Alberta, and three months in Quebec and in every province, there was a house. In that house, there is a project manager, project leader... Lisa: Wow. Daryl: ...basically he was someone that would go to the house, and they were there, the whole duration of the programme. And this isn't a pitch for the programme, but I feel like it was—my life was really before and after. Lisa: Wow. Daryl: Because life skills I got from this... Lisa: That's cool. Daryl: ...so every place would have a project leader, and they would organise full-time work for all ten kids. And you were like a volunteer full-time worker, and in exchange, the government and I think this businesses may be paid a reduced hourly wage, I don't really know the details of it. But you worked for free, and in exchange, the government paid your grocery bills, they paid your rent and your travel expenses, and you got 20 bucks a week for like toothpaste and whatever else you wanted. And that was—it was a fantastic programme. I learned so much when I was in Alberta and British Columbia. I worked at a native band office, which is in Canada, we have a lot of native land, and that's land, like, we were the original immigrants. We took over the landmass, and then we gave the natives, ‘This is your land’, and so it's like a country within a country, and a band office is like their government office. Lisa: Right. Daryl: So, I actually worked at an Indian band office, Similkameen Valley band office and Iwe helped build sweat lodges. We did all sorts of stuff. I work there newsletter, helped communicate with the community. In Alberta, I was a seventh-grade teacher's assistant at a middle school, and a social worker assistant and I worked with a librarian as well. And then in Quebec, I was actually a mayor's assistant for three small town, 150 people. But you had a full-time job in each place, and then after work when you came home, the 10 of you were basically instantly signed up for any community events that were going on. I remember in the small town of Karamea we built something like 20 out of the 25 of their Christmas floats for their Christmas parade. We did soup kitchens, music festivals, like, you name it, and there's just like, instantly—if there was something out of the community like the project leader would know about it and just drag us, and we just show up be like, 'Hey', and it was like ten pairs of hands. Like just we were coming just to make things happen. So every three months, you had a full-time job, evenings and weekends, except for Sunday. You basically anything in the community, you were instantly signed up as a volunteer, and every two and for two weeks, every three month period, you would build it, you would stay with a local family for two weeks to like, see how they live. And that was really insightful because I didn't know any other family or how the family operated. But then I got to see inside the workings, like, I remember this one family, I stayed with the three, the parents, the father was in finance, and he was always, like, his suit and his hair's so proper. He was very strict and very like this. And his kids on the other side, they had like mohawks, spike collars and black nails and eyes. And it was so funny because I felt like it was a yin yang. I felt like the kids were the exact opposite in the extreme of the parents, and just watching the dynamics of people. And also every week, a boy and a girl would stay home from their full-time jobs, and they would be the mum and dad in the house because we had a budget like for groceries and they would have to cook and clean. So that nine months experience when I was 17, I came out of that with more life experience than a lot of people and… Lisa: What an incredible programme and how lucky... Daryl: Yes. Lisa: ...for you, like, because so many kids go off the rails, as they say at that point yet, and they get lost and to have the sort of a structure of development and experience must have been a real game-changer for you. Daryl: Yeah, I mean, we moved around a bit when I was a kid, but we ended up settling in a city called Kingston, Ontario, which also happened to be the penitentiary capital of Canada. And so it was a unique community because you've got Queen's University, which is one of the top three universities of Canada. You've got the second-largest military base. It's almost one of the largest government employment cities. So you've got these high-income earners in the public sector, and then you've also got this great university. Some of the largest businesses out of Canada, actually, even in Kingston, like we've got one of the largest real estate investment trusts. There's a company that makes the shafts for all the pro golf clubs outside of Kingston. It's kind of weird, you got these unique massive spikes of success. But then because of the penitentiaries, a lot of families move to Kingston to be closer to the family. So then you have these areas where there's like when you get out of jail, you just settle in the town that you're in, and so it's weird, and I actually didn't think I was gonna see my 21st birthday. Lisa: Wow. Daryl: I was in high school, and I didn't—I had a friend that was found in a lake rolled in a carpet... Lisa: Oh, gosh. Daryl: ...and things like that. And I didn't think I was really gonna make it. Lisa: So, really dangerous areas to be growing up as a youth. Daryl: But then, I always say when you live in a city, you don't live in that city, you live in your bubble in that city. So my bubble was mixed. It was a mixed bag. I was in the middle—I grew up in a nice suburb, but through school and all that, I got involved with lots of different things. But in this group one day, they spoke at my high school, and they're talking about, 'Yo, we're getting to travel Canada for free'. Like, I was like, 'Hey, that sounds great. I need to get out of here. I don't see a future. I don't see a future', and I signed up and that was what I did. And then after that because of being involved and so I almost got kicked out. Now, after the first two months, I was on my last warning, you get three warnings, and you get sent home. And every time you make them, you have to write a commitment to improve. And I was like, I just thought I think that project leader didn't like me, but I was like, on it by a hair. And it was so funny because I remember when I made the first three months, we moved to the second location, I was like, 'Wow even if I get kicked out now. Now I've learned everything that I could learn from this programme'. Three months, Alberta and I met all sorts of new people and new experiences. And I was like, 'Wow, I made it to six months. Now that I'm going to Quebec, now I've learned everything, I mean, so good'. And then the next three months, and then I finished it like, 'Wow, I made it to the end. Now I've learned... Lisa: You're an expert. Daryl: ...programme, right. But now here it is years and years later, and I met because they were like family, the other ten kids, right? And I still catch up with them every now and then, like I learned through, 'Why? You got a kid? You got three kids'? Lisa: In other words, we all say we're no’s all the time. And then we're actually just at the beginning of our next journey. And it's all stepping stones to the next part of learning and stuff. But what a fantastic I wish we had a programme like that here because I mean, it must cost a lot to run and be really difficult to organise. But man, they could change lives, say for kids who are just lost and don't quite know what's the next step and how many of them are be. Daryl: It's a fantastic programme. It's actually I don't think it's running in Canada anymore. Again, because of the cost that it gets government funding, it gets taken away. The Trudeau lineage is the one that started—they tend to be behind it. There was a big scandal in Canada 'we something charity' and it sounds like that they were going to give a billion dollars in one organisation that does something like that. But of course, it got into, like, where's money going and people arguing and is that a good use and I think nothing happened at it. But it's a shame because... Lisa: It changes your life. Daryl: Well, I think right now there's a ton of people, especially the younger kids who need a sense of responsibility. I think in some ways, I don't want to go on a big rant. But I think life is full of challenges and hurdles. And it's like, through overcoming those we develop our character. And some people, they just have such a cushy like... Lisa: Yes. Daryl: .Things have become so politically correct. We've softened all the hard edges. I remember seeing in Toronto, they replaced a bunch of the kids playgrounds, because kids were falling and getting hurt. Lisa: Yes, yes. Daryl: Like, yes, but that's, like, you climb a tree, you fall, like, you don't... Lisa: There's no consequence to anything anymore. And there's no, like, yes. Daryl: It's like participation awards versus achievement awards. Like, we really, in some ways, become a society of participation awards versus achievement awards. And that's... Lisa: I totally get it. I totally agree. Because I mean, I'm showing my age, but I grew up in the early 70s and stuff, and it was a rough ride. I'm lucky to be alive. Daryl: Not everyone. Not everyone made it in adulthood. Yes. Lisa: And, but you know what, I wouldn't change that for the world because I don't want to be wrapped up in cotton wool and bounce around like a bunch of marshmallows for the want of a better expression. I want to be able to climb trees and cycle. I had to laugh yesterday. We live in a little village that, sort of, no police around here. And you've got all sorts in, and it's a lovely village, it's a sort of a beachy resort-y place. But you get the kids, they got no helmets on, and the other ones are on scooters, and there's three of them hanging off it and other people with their youths, and the kids are on the back, which is all illegal, right? Daryl: Right. Lisa: And I'm not saying it is good, but I do have to smile because it reminds me of my childhood because that's where... Daryl: A little bit recklessness, a little bit of foolishness. We don't want it, but the world has real limits. Lisa: Yes. Daryl: And especially as a parent, like I have a daughter now and it's like, I call it careful neglect. I try to carefully neglect her in some ways to force her to develop and grow. Lisa: Beautiful. Daryl: It's like neglect under supervision, that's probably the best way to do it. Because if I always do it for her, and then I'm not there like they say kids who grew up with a single parent tend to be more independent than kids that have two parents, although kids with two parents tend to do better overall. I want a blend of that. The kids with single parents, they are more independent because that's expected of them. There's not all—you can't... Lisa: backup. Daryl: It's not all the swaddling. Lisa: Yes, no, I totally agree. And like, not even just for kids, but like dealing with my mum with her disability, I had to—and people would criticise me heavily, but I used—I make her do the hard stuff. Like, if she's struggling to get out of a chair at night and she's tired I don't get up to help her and not because I'm an asshole but because I need her to learn which muscle it is to push and people would, like when we're out in public that'd be standing there watching me watch her struggling and I'd get abuse sometimes. Like, ‘why aren't you helping’? Daryl: Yes, yes. Lisa: That's all I'm doing. I have to do it all the time with her because I'm teaching her new difficult tasks all the time. I'm having to put her through some painful regimes and training. And because I've been an athlete all my life, I understand that pain often, when in training, in difficult training sessions and stuff make you stronger, and make you more able to withstand. I mean, that's what exercise is all about: you hurt yourself, you get stronger, you hurt yourself, you get stronger. And with mum's training, it's very often like that. So okay, she's not a kid, but it's the same principle. I have to let her go. Or winching out when she got her driver's license, and I would let her drive my car and go around town. I mean, I'm still panicking half the time, a nice—and for the start, I would shadow her, like from behind. She didn't know that I was following her way right through the town where she went so that she had that backup. But she didn't know she had that backup. Daryl: As I actually had been saying that to Kathy, but my daughter, I'm like, I won't stop her from falling, but I'll do my best to always catch her. Lisa: Yes. Daryl: I'm not gonna try to stop because sometimes you're like, 'Your daughter and you try to pad the room'. And I'm like, 'I gave her a pair of scissors'. This is when she was really young, gave her scissors, 'Don't, she'll cut herself', and I'm like, 'Yes, and it'll be a valuable lesson'. 'You're right'. And I'm right here, and it'll be a vet ship. She'll learn a valuable lesson; I don't know if she doesn't, I feel like that's partially where we have things like all these school shootings and that. These kids aren't growing up on farms. They've never been kicked by a horse or a goat, or they've never hit themselves in the foot with an axe. So they playing these video games of extreme violence and sexual violence in the movies and they feel these emotions, like really common as a teenager. They have access to such powerful tools. I'm Canadian, but in the States, they sell guns at Walmart and so you've got a kid that's angry, he's got no real sense of the reality of the world around him in terms of like, what happens if you fall out of a tree and break your ankle, that's so distant because they grew up in a city and it's just, it's more just surviving and social dynamics versus a social and environmental dynamic. Lisa: I totally agree. Daryl: And I go to school, and they lash out with guns, I really feel that if those kids grew up with more hard labour in their lives, more physical—even if they just had more physical training conditioning. You play hockey, you get hit too hard, like something like that, it would have less school shootings because they still feel the same emotions, but one, they'd have different outlets, and they would also kind of respect it better. It's like my jujitsu. You mentioned I do jujitsu. Lisa: Yes. Daryl: I feel like it's very—when you guys are new, you get a lot of these strong guys, and they try to tough on everybody. And they just, it's useless. And they get beaten up by the more skilled ones. So then when they develop skill, they're kind of like a 'Hey, like, I know what it's like to be the one getting beaten up'. Lisa: Yes. Which is the correct method. Daryl: Like, the power, the skill is earned. So, you treat it with better respect. Lisa: Humility is always a good thing. And I think learning.. I've taken up skimboarding with you, and I don't bounce very well at 52. But it's really important that I do something that I'm really useless at.and I'm having to learn a new skill. And I sometimes ski myself because if I don't get the stage, that's when you start losing those skills. And I don't want to lose any of my abilities, and I've still got good reactions and stuff like that, so I want to keep them. So I constantly want to push myself outside that boundary. So let's dive in a little bit to your martial arts, and then we'll get onto your business side of things because what you've done the years is just incredible. What sort of lessons have you learned—I mean, that was one—but what sort of lessons have you learned from doing Jiu Jitsu in the discipline that's required for this very tough sport? Daryl: Yes, that's great. So yes, I did jujitsu for about six, seven, maybe eight years. I haven't trained, probably in a couple years now. I've been doing more kind of CrossFit and my own physical training, but I think the lessons are through any—you learn about progression over time. You learn things like the fundamentals are fundamental. You kind of learn the basics, but then you get bored with those, and you want to learn the fancy, advanced stuff, but then it's hard to apply it and get it to work. And then through just time and observation and training with the greatest you understand it really is about the fundamentals. Virtue is doing the common uncommonly well. The fundamentals that we learned are the stuff that's actually working against the highest level black belts. The basics that you learn, you see that happen at the highest level World Championships in the biggest competitions, and the really great to the ones that can do the basics and just walk through everyone with them. Like, 'How are they able to do that so well'? Everybody knows what's happening. Everyone knows what to expect, but they can't stop it from happening anyhow. Another lesson was it's a game of inches in the beginning because jujitsu is kind of like a submission wrestling, submission grappling.It's not so much punch and kick.It's more about pull, roll, and just and using things like gravity. So there's things about drilling how practise makes perfect. You learned the rule, like 10,000 hours that it's if I've been training for 200 hours, and you've been training 10 hours, generally speaking, I have a major advantage. If I've been training 2000 hours, you've been training 100 hours, typically speaking, I'm gonna just mop the floor with you because I've—there's nuance detail and you can almost endlessly drill into the fundamentals. And then there's just the progress. You've talked about learning new skills. Last year, I learned how to handstand walk. I can now handstand walk about 20 feet, I'm gonna be 38 in a couple of months. Lisa: Wow, I can't do that. Daryl: Yes. Lisa: I'm jealous. Daryl: It’s specifically for the skill development, for the neurological developments, to like to balance in a totally different way and physical development. So I mean, you just see you learn about people, you learn about how your emotions impact your decision making in certain respects. You learn about how it's not just training, but it's also how to recover and rest. And we talked about this I think before I interviewed you for my podcast, like, silence is part of music just as much as music is, the difference is it's intentional. Lisa: Yes. Daryl: Silences, intention. So it's about doing things with intent. Taking a concept like I want to learn and get good at this and breaking into pieces. And I was talking about this to my friend yesterday. Actually, I forget how it came up. But he's talking about something, and work, and the situation, and how to avoid, and I remember I was training and I was fortunate to do some training with Rickson Gracie in my early parts of my training career, legendary fighter guy. And I remember I kept getting caught in these triangle chokes. Triangle choke is a type of choke. And I kept getting caught in these triangle chokes. I remember asking, like, 'How do I get out of it'? He says, 'Well, don't let them put you into it'. I'm like, 'Yes, I know. But I already got into it. Now what do I do'? he's like, 'Don't let them put you into it'. And I just wanted—I wanted the cure, and I was like, 'Yes, but I want it' and there are, there's some things you can do. But the real answer is... Lisa: Prevention Daryl: ...prevention is so much better than cure. Like, well it's good... Lisa: Great principle. Daryl: You're in it, like, you gotta panic, you got two or three options, you got to panic, you're gonna spend a lot of energy, you're gonna flail and struggle, it's gonna be close. We can talk about how to do it. But really, the best solution is, don't let them do it to you in the first place. Note and recognise the signs and protect yourself before it happens. Lisa: That is a great law for the whole of the health paradigm that I live under. Daryl: Yes. How do I deal with heart problems? Lisa: Prevention, prevention. Daryl: Prevention. Yes, exactly. And you know proactivity. Lisa: Yes, occasionally,you will still get caught out and you will still and then you want to know those tricks. But in the first line, let's learn prevention and then we'll look at how do we get out of this mess? Daryl: And another really—which kind of ties in and then we can if you want to move on, move on. But this one, I think is also really, really, really important. When I first learned martial arts, I always thought it was about doing things to other people, I'm going to do this too, or I'm going to use your leverage against you. I'm gonna do this to the world. What I've really realised is two things. One, it's not even necessarily about doing things. It's about two things it's about not doing things externally, it's about self-control. It's about boundaries. So we just talked about 'Don't let him put you into it'. That means that I have to have boundaries around things. Will I let him grab me here? Well I’ll not allow that. Well, I let him grab me there. And I'll be like, 'Okay, whatever. And I'm going to try to do some'. So again, when people start and forgive me, I don't want to go on a huge long rant on this. But when you start, I'm going to do this to you, going to do that to you and I'm trying to do this... Lisa: You got to be kidding. Daryl: ...and so I don't even care what you're doing to me. When you get—later, it's like what do I accept? What are my boundaries? Lisa: Wow. Daryl: What situations do I let myself enter into? And that was—and then the other thing is that a lot of times it's not about what you do. It's not even about winning. It's about who makes the fewest mistakes. Lisa: Wow. Daryl: It's really—it's not even about being the best, the smartest, the brightest. It's about making the least mistakes. Lisa: Wow... Daryl: In this situation, how many doors do I open for my opponent? Lisa: I totally... Daryl: These things are great, right? Lisa: Yes, yes, yes. Daryl: There’s just me posing on the world and more about controlling myself. Lisa: Yes. Daryl: And am I allowing myself to be manipulated this way? Am I allowing myself to be grabbed here? Am I allowing his energy to mess with my mindset? Lisa: Wow, that is gold. Daryl: In a tournament, I've seen them lose the match before it even begins. Get you two guys step up, and the rest get in there, and they like their eyeballing on each other. Lisa: Yes. Daryl: You see one guy like and he's just kind of coward. Like he lost before we even get started. So... Lisa: I haven’t seen that in ultramarathons are—another sporting analogy, but I've seen when people start bargaining with themselves and you do during an ultra. You start saying, 'Well, if I just get to there, I'll be happy with my results’. Or if you start to negotiate with yourself as how far you can get. And when I'm when I see people going, 'Well, I've at least done more than I've ever done before and therefore it's a success'. And when I start to hear talk like that, I know we're in the battle, like we are in the battle. And if they don't change the mindset, they're not going to because they're no longer in that, 'I'm gonna do this, come hell or high water there in the' Well, it's okay to fail and it is okay to fail. But in the battle, you don't want to be in that mindset. You want to be in that mindset, like, 'I'm going for this and I'm giving it everything I have.’ When you start to negotiate with yourself where ‘It would be okay if I got to that point, and therefore this is the longest I've ever run and therefore that's still a success'. When you start doing that type of bargaining with yourself, you're in deep shit basically because you've got to tune your psychology around too because otherwise, you're going to give yourself a way out. I remember when I was running in the 220k race in the Himalayas that extreme altitude and I had a point where I just completely broke after going up the second path, and it was about—I'd been out there for 40 plus hours in a massive snowstorm. I had hypothermia. I had altitude sickness, asthma. I was just completely good enough reasons to be pulling out. And one of my guys came back to me, and I said, 'I think it's only two kilometres to the top of the mountain because you're calculating in your head'. And he came back and said, 'No, it's six kilometres to go'. And that just completely broke my mentality because six kilometres, I was going out 3k an hour, it was two hours of hell, and I couldn't, and it broke me. And I just fell into a heap and started bawling my eyes out, and everybody was giving me permission to give up. They were like, huddling around, 'You're amazing. We're so proud of you and you did everything you could', and then there was one guy. And he came over, and he shocked me, and he wasn't smiling, and he wasn't patting me on the back, and he was like, ‘Get the F up now’. Daryl: You're so close. Lisa: ‘You're so close, you're not failing, and I'm not letting you fail and get your ass up off the ground. And I'm going to stay here with you. And I'm going to walk you up top of that mountain’. And that was key because it got me over that psychological break—I broke, but he picked me up, and he got me back on my feet. And I followed his instructions. I just did what he told me to do, put one foot in front of the other, and he got me over that hump, literally. And it's this type of stuff that you learn through sports; it's just so valuable. Daryl: It's just overcoming obstacles and just testing yourself. You don't know what you're capable of until you do it. You can spend all day reading a book about tennis, but until you're out there actually playing it. And there's learning you have to learn, you can learn through reading through lecture through conversation, personal experiences, and through other people's experiences and that's... Lisa: That's what this is about. Daryl: Yes, I mean Alan Watts has this great video called The Dream of Life. Imagine if every night you went to sleep, you could dream, however many years of life that you wished and because it's your dream, you can make them as wonderful as you want it. And so for the first—let's say you're dreaming 100 years of life every night. And maybe you do this for a couple of years, every night for a few years, you're dreaming 100 years of life. And all these lives that you're living, they're all the most filled with all the pleasures and all the wonderful things that you could possibly want. And what do you think would happen? And over time, you would kind of get bored, and you would want some risk and some adversity. And then eventually, you would want to be able to dream and go to sleep, and not know the outcome. ‘I want to go to sleep. I want to have this adventure, but I don't want to know the outcome’. And that's kind of like that's almost like life. And if you could dream a lifetime every night in your—in a life of eighty years, you could possibly dream the life you're living right now. And that's the whole thing of evolution. Evolution is about growth and challenge and overcoming obstacles and... Lisa: Yes, obstacles like phone calls coming in the middle of your podcast. Daryl: But, we got—everyone’s with me. Lisa: I think people listening to my podcasts are quite used to interruption. You just cannot stop the world from functioning half the time like somebody's phone is somewhere. Daryl: Murphy's Law, you just gotta keep on recording. If you wait for perfection, it's never gonna happen. Lisa: Exactly. You could panic now and start editing for Africa or another way, you could just get it out there and apologise for what happened, which we'll do. So, Daryl, I want to move now because I think there was absolutely brilliant and really insightful. I want to move into the business side of things. And you've had a really successful business. You've taken lots of businesses to the million-dollar in a plus businesses from scratch, you've done that over and over again. You've helped people scale up and develop these systems and mine the data and work out all this complicated world of online, which is I'd struggle with daily so I want to know from you, how the heck do you do this? And what are some of your greatest secrets from building businesses over a long period of time now? Daryl: That's a great question. There's a lot of different places to start; I think one of the hardest places and where I've had the most failure myself is getting something new going because well, one, it's just not my superpower. But if you've got someone that's got a proven concept, and that's really how in the beginning, I should look it up. But I got my seven-step rollout system. It's like you always start with a market first. So that means you always have to start with a need and or want so because you can't—the idea of selling ice to Eskimos. It's not about doing mental gymnastics and pushing something on someone that they don't want. That might happen in the world. There might be people that invest a lot of time, energy and resources in that but I have no interest. It's really tough to be like I'm gonna generate this demand. It's not there. The demand already exists. People already want to feel beautiful, people already want to be entertained, people already want to travel and to explore the world. So these needs and wants and that already exists. The idea is that you want to stand in front of it. The demand and want is already there and it's constantly evolving. And every time someone a business comes out, and you create a new product or service to fix a problem there'll be a new problem. Lisa: Yes. Daryl: Because now, like before the internet, the issue was how are we going to have these conversations like we can? You’re New Zealand, I'm in Vietnam, how will we do this? Well, now Zoom is created. These companies created tool, and they created tool. And now here's Zoom, but then what's the next issue? And then what's the next problem? So problems are markets, not demographics. Lisa: Oh, wow. Daryl: Not demographics, the problem is a market. This is the problem that we solve for people. Once you've got that a lot of it—for me, it's like different ways that you can go, but the purpose of business is to locate a prospect, turn that prospect into a customer and then make a customer your friend. Lisa: Yes. Daryl: It's really a big part of it. It's tough to have a business survive. There are businesses that survive off one-time sales, but the vast majority of businesses need recurring business, recurring freight, ongoing relationships. And a lot of businesses aren't thinking about how to do that. And so, your business is a service to the world. And so the first thing you have to figure out on a small scale, ‘What problem do I solve’? And when you solve a problem, you kind of need to create, I call it a black box. This black box maybe is a mystery to the outside world; we can use a dentist's office people come in crying and in pain on one side, they go through the black box, which is a series of checklists, checklists for this, checklist for that, checklist for next thing, okay, check that we did this, this, this, this is this, boom, they leave smiling and happy on the other side. So that's the black box. That's the problem-solving box. Lisa: Wow. Daryl: The problem-solving box, all the company is one group of people solving a problem for another group of people via a product or service. Lisa: Wow. Daryl: Before that problem is, and you've got it, now you need to design it. Here's some people solve problems really well, but they don't do it in a way that's scalable. So the rule of 10,000. Now I know how to solve the problem. Now I know THE kind of the type of people having that problem. How do I solve 10,000 of these problems for people, think, if I had to bake a pie if I'm trying to bake one pie versus bake 10,000 pies... Lisa: It's going to be more efficient. Daryl: there's a different mindset that you got like, I need a bigger kitchen, I got to do that. You've got like planning in batches, and food storage, it changes the nature of things. And then you got to kind of go out and find those people and that's like a marketing function. So there's—actually, I can share this. So last year, I actually spent like $40,000 hiring all these research teams to help get down to what are the critical success factors for small and medium-sized businesses? Lisa: Wow. Daryl: We came up with eight, there's actually nine, but the ninth one is government and economic factors. And it's not realistic that a person is going to influence. Lisa: No. Daryl: Not one person. Lisa: Yes. Daryl: No, it's not realistic. So the ones that we can influence is things like self-efficacy, which means your ability to be effective with your time, your energy, just yourself and through others. So it's like leadership is part of that, right? Your time management is part of that like mindset might be part of that. But self-efficacy, strategic planning, marketing strategy, market intelligence. So these are different market intelligence is understanding the needs, wants desires, problems of the people of the marketplace, and the competitors, the available options. So it's market intelligence is like, what's going on out there? And then marketing strategy is how am I going to get my message across. Then you have sales skills and strategies, sales strategy. And then you have money management. You have business operating systems, which is—it could be technology, it could be simple checklists, it could be meeting rhythms, it could be a hiring process, that's the operating systems. And then you've got business intelligence, and business intelligence is like the awareness of different things. So for example, like you are working with my partner, Kathy. She's helping you with your podcasts, you're getting greater awareness on how many downloads are we getting and how many people are sharing the downloads and how many people are listening and then coming my way—that's all business intelligence stuff. Daryl: It's the idea of not just doing activities, but to actually measure… Right. But it needs to be aware. It’s like wearing a heart rate monitor, right? Like how's my—that's an intelligence system. How's my heart rate doing? How's my heart rate variability? Lisa: Yes. I do all of that. Daryl: What's my sleep pattern? Lisa: Yes. Daryl: Am I waking up twenty nights? That's like business intelligence. Those eight factors really are the critical make or break focus points for business. Lisa: Wow. Daryl: And anything that you would do for a business should back into one of those. So, team building activity. Well, that's kind of self-efficacy, maybe operating systems, it depends. You're going to do a podcast, well, that's a marketing strategy, right? And then the strategic planning is the plan strategically of how you're going to pull the strings together. And like, we know how you plan you develop, how you plan to meet people, is there a thought process and from all this stuff? Lisa: And the hard thing is for the young entrepreneurial. I know we have a lot of people who, in business, starting businesses, or in developed businesses and wanting to scale further. You’re wearing so many hats at the beginning, like you're in charge of all of those departments if you like, and that is the very hard thing at the beginning. Once you get a team around you like we're at a stage now where we have small teams that are helping us with different aspects of what we do, and we're trying to outsource the stuff we're not good at. It's not our specialty, because we don't want to waste... But at the beginning, you have to do it all. And so you're just constantly wearing these multitasking hats and not being very efficient. Daryl: Right. Lisa: How do people get to that next rung on the ladder? And this is something that where we've been backwards and forwards going on for a long time. How do you get to the next stage? And how do you make an effective team? And how do you outsource certain things, but not the other things? And it's getting to that next level, isn't it? Daryl: Yes. Lisa: And at the beginning, you just forbought everything. Daryl: If you've been doing a lot of activity, and you're not really sure what's working, a simple way to think about this is forget Uber and Grab and these other... Lisa: Yes, this huge... Daryl: Originally, if you were a cab driver, you would have a car, and your idea first figure out where are the people who need to be driven places and then pay money to do it. Maybe it's taking kids to school, maybe it's picking people up at the train station, or the bus station or the airport, maybe it's doctor's office appointments, right? Like every week for whatever. But first, if you were the taxi driver, first, you'd have to figure out, how do I keep my schedule full every day? How do I keep myself busy every day? And so first, it's where are the customers? And where do they want to go? Right? Where are the customers and where they want to go? Can I take them there? You get paid in size over the relationship, and the problem you solve. What that means is if I want to get across town, but I have all day to do it, I can walk, right? But if I'm in a hurry, if my child is sick, and they're bleeding, and I got to get in the hospital in half the time, that's a bigger problem. I'll pay whatever, right? I can rent a car, I could bike, right? If I don't want to rent a car, I could pay more to have someone, you get what I'm saying? Lisa: Yes. Daryl: I could pay someone to drive me. So there's a scale of problems. So first, like, where are the customers? What do they need? Where do they want to go? And then how do you get yourself busy? Now that you're busy what's going to happen is now you have to do is you have to train someone and had it on quality control. How do I deliver this consistently? What is my doing? Because when you do something for someone, why—what's making people really happy? What's making them not happy? Right? How do I make sure I have a consistent good experience for people? Good. Now, how do I help more people? And then if you're the cab driver, you might have to take a pay cut? Because at some point, you might have to bring someone in and have them drive the car for half the day. Lisa: So you can focus on the business. Yes, yes. Daryl: You can focus on getting another car and getting that. And so there's this weird period where it's like, 'Hey, I'm busy full time, but I can't be any busier'. So I can charge more money, or I'm going to hire someone, give them some of the work. Lisa: Yes. Big portion of the money. Daryl: Right. They're gonna take a pint of the money. And now I'm going to get the second part going. And that's actually how Kathy got started. So Kathy is working with you. And one of the beginning she had some clients online, and I was like, 'What do you like doing the most? What's the one thing that you think you can do a lot of? And she really enjoys the writing component', and so we got her really busy. And then she hired someone, and then right? And then she was busy, and they're busy, she hired another person. And she had another person on now she had like a team of six, she's got some, like 26 people now. But in the beginning, she had like four or five, six, 'Hey, now you need a manager'. 'Okay, well, now I need a manager', okay, and that's your manager for the team and the next problem and building that out. And that's a really natural way to grow. And part of what helps you do that is documentation and training, an edge explained, demonstrate, guide, and power. First, explain how you do it. Let me demonstrate it for you. So you can see it done. And then let me guide you in doing it with you. And then I'm going to empower you to do it on your own, make some mistakes and learn from them, and just repeat that process. Lisa: Wow. Daryl: So it's an edge thing. And that's creating documentations and systems. But then you've got to actually keep—now you're getting into a different level. How do you communicate a vision? How do you keep a team productive? How do you monitor progress? How do you—because we're talking about self-efficacy, right? If you hire someone that could be brilliant, but if they don't get the work done, and now you're getting into people skills, and how do I communicate? And how do I help them tap into their own internal motivation? So they're not just showing up, clicking on the paycheck, and just clocking out, going home just on their phone all day. So these are different tiers of problems that people fall into. So I don't know if I read a whole of... Lisa: No, these are perfect, Daryl, and it does highlights here. There's always the next level. Daryl: Crazy amounts of entrepreneurship. Lisa: No, but, like getting out of the startup gates is the hardest part and you dealing also with self-doubt and imposter syndrome often, and can I do this? And people telling you you can’t. Your family members or friends going, 'What the hell are you doing? And you've tucked in your regular job for this'? And you know, that 80% or more of businesses fail. I can't remember what the statistics were, but they're pretty horrific. And you're wearing all these hats. And what you then see is a lot of people starting to burn out. And that's really like part of what we do is all about managing stress and not burning out and how’s the basics of health because you need to do all that in order to be successful because there's no use having millions of dollars in the bank, but you are dead because that isn't going to help anybody. Daryl: I've seen that. I've seen people sacrifice—I see people make money and keep their health at the same time. But I've also seen a lot of people sacrifice their health to make money and then end up spending all that money trying to get their health back. Lisa: To get their health back. And I must admit like I've—not for the—just for the business but saying in rehabilitating mum cost me my health. I ended up nose diving because you're working 18 hour-days sometimes and you just go and helpful either trying to make the mortgage payments at the same time by the hyperbaric chambers, or the whatever she needs and trying to rehabilitate, and running all these juggling balls that we all have in various combinations. And you can't work yourself into the absolute—into the grave if you're not careful. And that's why health and resilience and stress reduction and stuff is what we do. Daryl: Yes, it's always best to have people—one of the biggest—and I've done this before, I've done this a couple of times, unfortunately. Better to collect money first and then develop a product. What I mean is like in my hometown, they're opening up a gym, and they were building, they bought this building, they were kind of doing rentals on the inside, and they set up a trailer outside. And they were actively marketing and were signing up people for the gym that was not yet finished being built... Lisa: Brilliant Daryl: ...so they're not yet open. And what happened was at some point, they just closed down the whole operation and left. And what it was is they had a pre-launch goal for themselves. ‘We need to generate this many new members in order to breakeven, or we stop’. And that's a really good thing, and you don't, it's like if you just get pre-orders, Elon Musk did this with, I thin
Aaron Lee, violinista, cuenta en Fin de Semana con Cristina todo lo que sus padres le hicieron al enterarse de su condición sexualAaron Lee ha tenido una historia dramática. Él es homosexual, que entre otras cosas tuvo que enfrentar el verse confinado en una celda de tres por dos metros en una isla perdida porque sus padres pretendían quitarle esa tendencia. Es un prodigio del violín. Es de origen surcoreano, pero nació en Chamberí, en Madrid. Es de familia de músicos y acaba de publicar un libro, “Yo soy el que soy”, donde cuenta su historia, por un lado, admirable y, por el otro, de un enorme sufrimiento. Ha empezado hablando de su presencia en el cierre de sesiones del teatro: “Es un privilegio y un honor debutar y echar el cierre en el Teatro Kamikaze en 'Yo soy el que soy'. Mis padres son músicos, en mi casa empecé como si fuese un juego lo que ahora es una pasión". Pese a esto, ha querido comentar cómo empezó su vida demostrando su sexualidad: “Mis padres, como artistas que son, pensé que aceptarían mi homosexualidad, pero vienen de una sociedad coreana con valores distintos. Ahora mi relación con ellos pasa por horas bajas, mantengo la esperanza a que podamos volver a hablar" ha comentado el violinista. En un momento dado se vio...

We answer 'Yo, Tony' questions and keep it humorous while talking about Fat Jesus, being above average, aerobic and anaerobic workouts, and striving to be the best we can be.
Jorge Ernesto Ramoa -Exfutbolista argentino- Nos habló sobre su amistad con Diego Maradona, lo que fue compartir y la forma cómo celebraron el título en Boca Juniors en 1981, el único que ganó en esta institución 'Maradó'. En la autobiografía 'Yo soy el Diego de la gente', el astro reconoce a Ramoa como su mejor amigo, en su paso por el 'Xeneize'.
Lucas 19,11-28. Jesús dijo una parábola, porque estaba cerca de Jerusalén y la gente pensaba que el Reino de Dios iba a aparecer de un momento a otro. El les dijo: "Un hombre de familia noble fue a un país lejano para recibir la investidura real y regresar en seguida. Llamó a diez de sus servidores y les entregó cien monedas de plata a cada uno, diciéndoles: 'Háganlas producir hasta que yo vuelva'. Pero sus conciudadanos lo odiaban y enviaron detrás de él una embajada encargada de decir: 'No queremos que este sea nuestro rey'. Al regresar, investido de la dignidad real, hizo llamar a los servidores a quienes había dado el dinero, para saber lo que había ganado cada uno. El primero se presentó y le dijo: 'Señor, tus cien monedas de plata han producido diez veces más'. 'Está bien, buen servidor, le respondió, ya que has sido fiel en tan poca cosa, recibe el gobierno de diez ciudades'. Llegó el segundo y le dijo: 'Señor, tus cien monedas de plata han producido cinco veces más'. A él también le dijo: 'Tú estarás al frente de cinco ciudades'. Llegó el otro y le dijo: 'Señor, aquí tienes tus cien monedas de plata, que guardé envueltas en un pañuelo. Porque tuve miedo de ti, que eres un hombre exigente, que quieres percibir lo que no has depositado y cosechar lo que no has sembrado'. El le respondió: 'Yo te juzgo por tus propias palabras, mal servidor. Si sabías que soy un hombre exigentes, que quiero percibir lo que no deposité y cosechar lo que no sembré, ¿por qué no entregaste mi dinero en préstamo? A mi regreso yo lo hubiera recuperado con intereses'. Y dijo a los que estaban allí: 'Quítenle las cien monedas y dénselas al que tiene diez veces más'. '¡Pero, señor, le respondieron, ya tiene mil!'. Les aseguro que al que tiene, se le dará; pero al que no tiene, se le quitará aún lo que tiene. En cuanto a mis enemigos, que no me han querido por rey, tráiganlos aquí y mátenlos en mi presencia". Después de haber dicho esto, Jesús siguió adelante, subiendo a Jerusalén. Voz y Meditación Fr Pedro Brassesco. www.rosariodelaurora.org

A mi regreso yo lo hubiera recuperado con intereses'. Y dijo a los que estaban allí: 'Quítenle las cien monedas y dénselas al que tiene diez veces más'. '¡Pero, señor, le respondieron, ya tiene mil!'. Les aseguro que al que tiene, se le dará; pero al que no tiene, se le quitará aún lo que tiene. En cuanto a mis enemigos, que no me han querido por rey, tráiganlos aquí y mátenlos en mi presencia". Después de haber dicho esto, Jesús siguió adelante, subiendo a Jerusalén.

Lucas 18,1-8. Jesús enseñó con una parábola que era necesario orar siempre sin desanimarse: "En una ciudad había un juez que no temía a Dios ni le importaban los hombres; y en la misma ciudad vivía una viuda que recurría a él, diciéndole: 'Te ruego que me hagas justicia contra mi adversario'. Durante mucho tiempo el juez se negó, pero después dijo: 'Yo no temo a Dios ni me importan los hombres, pero como esta viuda me molesta, le haré justicia para que no venga continuamente a fastidiarme'". Y el Señor dijo: "Oigan lo que dijo este juez injusto. Y Dios, ¿no hará justicia a sus elegidos, que claman a él día y noche, aunque los haga esperar? Les aseguro que en un abrir y cerrar de ojos les hará justicia. Pero cuando venga el Hijo del hombre, ¿encontrará fe sobre la tierra?". Voz y Meditación Fr Pedro Brassesco. www.rosariodelaaurora.org

Evangelio según san Mateo 25, 31-46 En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: «Cuando venga el Hijo del hombre, rodeado de su gloria, acompañado de todos sus ángeles, se sentará en su trono de gloria. Entonces serán congregadas ante él todas las naciones, y él apartará a los unos de los otros, como aparta el pastor a las ovejas de los cabritos, y pondrá a las ovejas a su derecha y a los cabritos a su izquierda. Entonces dirá el rey a los de su derecha: 'Vengan, benditos de mi Padre; tomen posesión del Reino preparado para ustedes desde la creación del mundo; porque estuve hambriento y me dieron de comer, sediento y me dieron de beber, era forastero y me hospedaron, estuve desnudo y me vistieron, enfermo y me visitaron, encarcelado y fueron a verme'. Los justos le contestarán entonces: 'Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento y te dimos de comer, sediento y te dimos de beber? ¿Cuándo te vimos de forastero y te hospedamos, o desnudo y te vestimos? ¿Cuándo te vimos enfermo o encarcelado y te fuimos a ver?' Y el rey les dirá: 'Yo les aseguro que, cuando lo hicieron con el más insignificante de mis hermanos, conmigo lo hicieron'. Entonces dirá también a los de su izquierda: 'Apártense de mí, malditos; vayan al fuego eterno, preparado para el diablo y sus ángeles; porque estuve hambriento y no me dieron de comer, sediento y no me dieron de beber, era forastero y no me hospedaron, estuve desnudo y no me vistieron, enfermo y encarcelado y no me visitaron'. Entonces ellos le responderán: 'Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento o sediento, de forastero o desnudo, enfermo o encarcelado y no te asistimos?' Y él les replicará: 'Yo les aseguro que, cuando no lo hicieron con uno de aquellos más insignificantes, tampoco lo hicieron conmigo'. Entonces irán éstos al castigo eterno y los justos a la vida eterna».

Social Scene: Death of Christopher George Latore Wallace, aka ‘Biggie Smalls,’ ‘The Notorious B.I.G,’ or ‘Biggie,’ 54. Childhood & Early Life: Born on May 21, 1972 in Brooklyn, New York, to Voletta Wallace and Selwyn George Latore. His mother was a Jamaican preschool teacher and his father was a politician and welder. His father left the family when he was two years old. He attended the ‘Queen of All Saints Middle School’ where he excelled in English, won many awards, and was given the nickname ‘Big.’ because of his weight, around the age of 10 (1982). He started dealing drugs as early as 12 while his mother went out for work, and she says he adapted a ‘smart-ass’ attitude, while attending high school, but he was still a good student. He dropped out of school at 17 (1989) and gradually got involved in criminal activities. Shortly after dropping out, he was arrested on weapon charges and was sentenced for probation of five years. He was again arrested in 1990 for violating his probation and again a year later for drug dealing in North Carolina. He stayed in jail for nine months. 55. Career: As a teen, he began exploring music and performed with local groups, such as ‘Techniques’ and ‘Old Gold Brothers.’ He made a casual demo tape titled ‘Microphone Murder’ under the name ‘Biggie Smalls.’ The name was inspired from his own stature as well as from a character of a 1975 film ‘Let’s Do it Again.’ The tape was promoted by Mister Cee, a New York based DJ and was heard by the editor of ‘The Source.’ In March 1992 (@19), he was featured in the ‘Unsigned Hype’ column of ‘The Source,’ magazine. Shortly thereafter, he was signed by ‘Uptown Records’. In 1993, when Sean 'Puffy' Combs, a producer/A&R with ‘Uptown Records’ was fired, Biggie Smalls signed with Combs’ ‘Bad Boy Records.’ In August, 1993 (@21), he had his first child T’yanna. To financially support his daughter, he continued to deal drugs. Also in 1993, he worked on the remix of Mary J. Blige’s ‘Real Love.’ While working for ‘Real Love,’ he used the pseudonym ‘The Notorious B.I.G.,’ the name he used for the rest of his career. He followed up with another remix of Blige's ‘What’s the 411’. He debuted as a solo artist in the 1993 film ‘Who’s the Man?’ with the single ‘Party and Bullshit.’ 56. As a solo artist he hit the pop chart in August 1994 (@22) with ‘Juicy/Unbelievable.’ His debut album ‘Ready to Die’ was released in September, 1994, peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200 and was subject to critical acclaim and soon a commercial success. Three singles were released from the album: "Juicy", "Big Poppa", "One More Chance". "Big Poppa" was a hit on multiple charts, peaking at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and also being nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance at the 1996 Grammy Awards. At a time when West Coast hip hop was dominating the mainstream, this album became a huge success, making him a prominent figure in the East Coast hip hop scene. [Side Note: 2 months later in November, Tupac was shot five times in a NYC recording studio]. In July 1995 (@23), the cover of ‘The Source’ magazine featured him along with the caption ‘The King of New York Takes Over.’ 57. Recording of his second album, ‘Life After Death,’ began in September 1995 but was interrupted due to injuries, hip hop disputes, and legal squabbles (much like his friend Tupac). He was in a car accident which hospitalized him for three months. He had to complete rehabilitation and was confined to a wheelchair for a period. The car accident had shattered his left leg and made him dependent on a cane. He was arrested outside a nightclub in Manhattan in March, 1996 (24), for manhandling and threatening to kill two of his fans who were seeking autographs, and again in the middle of the year, he was arrested from his home at Teaneck, New Jersey, for possessing weapons and drugs. On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas, Nevada, and he died six days later. Rumors of Biggie Smalls’ involvement in Shakur’s murder were doing the rounds and were reported immediately. In January 1997, he faced an order to pay 41k for a dispute that occurred in May 1995 where a concert promoter’s friend accused him and his entourage of beating him up. 58. Death: In February 1997, he went to Los Angeles to promote his upcoming album ‘Life After Death’ which was scheduled for March 25th release. On March 7, 1997, he attended the 1997 ‘Soul Train Music Awards’ and presented an award to Toni Braxton. On March 8, he attended the after party at ‘Peterson Automotive Museum,’ hosted by ‘Quest Records’ and ‘Vibe’ magazine. While leaving the party, his truck stopped at a red light, and a black Chevy Impala pulled up alongside it. The Impala's driver, an unidentified African-American man dressed in a blue suit and bow tie, rolled down his window, drew a 9 mm blue-steel pistol, and fired at Wallace's car. Four bullets hit Wallace, and his entourage subsequently rushed him to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where doctors performed emergency procedures, but he was pronounced dead at 1:15 a.m. He was 24 years old. 59. 16 days after his murder, his double disc album ‘Life After Death’ was released. The album peaked at No. 1 spot on the U.S. charts, ultimately went 11× Platinum, was nominated for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Solo Performance for its first single "Hypnotize", and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for its second single "Mo Money Mo Problems" at the 1998 Grammy Awards. In 2012, the album was ranked at No. 476 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Biggie has been described as ‘the savior of East Coast hip hop’ by some and ‘greatest rapper of all time’ by others. 60. Tupac and Biggie Best Frenemies: Biggie's first single, “Party and Bulls**t” came out in 1993. By that year, Tupac was already a platinum-selling artist, so Biggie asked a drug dealer to introduce him to Tupac at a Los Angeles party, according to the book 'Original Gangstas...' by Ben Westhoff. An intern who worked with Biggie recalled the meeting. “'Pac walks into the kitchen and starts cooking for us. He's in the kitchen cooking some steaks,”. “We were drinking and smoking and all of a sudden ‘Pac was like, ‘Yo, come get it.’ And we go into the kitchen and he had steaks, and French fries, and bread, and Kool Aid and we just sittin’ there eating and drinking and laughing...that's truly where Big and ‘Pac’s friendship started.” There was mutual respect between the two and Biggie would crash on Tupac’s couch when he was in California and Tupac would always stop by Biggie’s neighborhood when he was in New York. In essence, they were like any other pair of friends and both of them respected the other's talent. At the 1993 Budweiser Superfest at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, they freestyled together. Biggie often turned to Tupac for advice in the business, and even asked him to manage his career. But Tupac advised him to, "stay with Puff. He will make you a star.” 61. The first big fallout happened when they were scheduled to work on a project together for another rapper, Little Shawn. Tupac arrived at Times Square’s Quad Recording Studios on November 30, 1994, and was getting ready to head upstairs to where Biggie and Combs were. But instead, Tupac was gunned down in the lobby and shot five times. Tupac reportedly believed that Biggie had prior knowledge of the attack and that he also knew who was behind it. "He really thought when he got shot the first time, not that Big set it up or anything, just Big didn't tell him who did it," Tupac's friend and Naughty by Nature frontman Treach told MTV News in June 2010. "In his heart, he was like, 'The homie knows who did it.' Biggie might have wanted to just stay out of it, like, 'I don't know nothing.' [Tupac] was like, 'Yo, man, just put your ear to the street. Let me know who hit me up.'" Despite Tupac's claims, Biggie remained adamant that he had been loyal to his friend. "Honestly, I didn't have no problem with [Tupac]," Biggie previously said. "I saw situations and how sh*t was going, and I tried to school [Tupac]. I was there when he bought his first Rolex, but I wasn't in the position to be rolling like that. I think Tupac felt more comfortable with the dudes he was hanging with because they had just as much money as him." 62. Still, Tupac's suspicions were only heightened when Biggie released "Who Shot Ya?" a month after Tupac's attack. Biggie claimed that he wrote the song "way before Tupac got shot," but the rapper took it as Biggie's confession. "Even if that song ain't about it, you should be, like, 'I'm not putting it out, 'cause he might think it's about him,'" Tupac said in an interview with Vibe while incarcerated for an unrelated charge. 63. When Tupac joined Death Row Records, the East Coast-West Coast rivalry was cemented. While Tupac was incarcerated for another incident, he came to believe Biggie knew about the attack ahead of time. The west coast rapper reached out to Suge Knight, who offered him a place on his Death Row Records roster. Tupac accepted, cementing the rivalry between Knight's label and Combs’ Bad Boy Records. “Any artist out there that wanna be an artist, stay a star, and won’t have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the records, dancing—come to Death Row!” Knight proclaimed at that 1995 Source awards show. 64. There was never proof that Biggie or Combs knew about the incident. But a couple of months later, Biggie’s B-side single was a track called “Who Shot Ya?” which led to Tupac’s response with the song, “Hit ‘Em Up.” In it, Tupac claimed he slept with Biggie’s wife, Faith Evans. According to Vibe, Evans denied the claim, saying, “That ain’t how I do business.” 65. Open Comments: 66. Question: What Notable deaths hit you pretty hard?

Music Scene: Erykah Badu, Queen of Neo-Soul 112. Childhood & Early Years: Born as Erica Abi Wright on February 26, 1971 in Dallas, TX. Her father spent a considerable period in jail, vanished altogether in 1975, and only returned twenty years later. Her mother, a much respected actress in the local theatre, raised the children with the help of her own mother and her mother-in-law. Erica spent a lot of time with these ladies while her mother was busy on the stage. Erica was born the eldest of 3. Although they were comparatively poor Erica never realized that because everything was neat and clean. Despite the absence of her father, she had a very happy childhood, surrounded by uncles, aunts, grandmothers and cousins. Her mother imbibed in her daughters a love for music, playing the songs of Chaka Khan, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder to them. Erica inherited her mother’s artistic traits and a desire to perform. She would often sing in front of the mirror pretending that she was a background singer for Chaka Khan. She would also make her grandmother sit up and watch her while she sang, danced and acted. In 1975, Erica first appeared on stage, performing with her mother at Dallas Theatre Centre and by seven, she started learning to play the piano. Her favorite song was ‘The Greatest Love of All’. Another important aspect of her character was that from her childhood she loved to be in control of the situation around her. Therefore, when it was time for elementary schooling, she refused to continue her education there, mainly because she found that in school she was no longer in control. She began her formal education at a grade school, where her talent was quickly recognized. In her First Grade, she appeared in ‘Annie’, skipping and singing the song ‘Somebody Snitched On Me.’ During the summer vacations, she sang at the choir of the First Baptist Church, honing her choral skills.Along with acting and singing, little Erica also began to expand her cultural horizon, attending different festivals, especially Harambee Festival in South Dallas, slowly developing an interest in African culture and dress. The tall headgear she would wear one day originated from these visits. 113. In 1980, she was enrolled in a dancing troupe. Later she also learned formal ballet. By 1982, she had also started rapping. When it was time to attend high school, she chose Dallas' Booker T. Washington High School, an arts-oriented magnet school. While studying there she rejected what she considered to be a slave name, changing the spelling of Erica to Erykah and replacing Wright with Badu. After graduating from high school, she enrolled at the Grambling State University, a historically black institution in Grambling, Louisiana, studying theatre until 1993. Thereafter, she returned to Dallas without completing her degree, mainly to concentrate on music. 114. Career: In 1993, Erykah Badu started her career as a music teacher in Dallas. For a time, she also taught drama and dance at South Dallas Cultural Centre. To augment her income, she also served as waitress. She also formed a hip-hop duo with her cousin Robert Free Bradford, calling it ‘Erykah Free’. Very soon, they started going on musical tours and earning local opening slots. Her big chance came when in 1994 (@23), Erykah opened a show for D’Angelo. Through him, she caught the attention of Kedar Massenburg, an American record producer and founder of Kedar Entertainment. Impressed, he set her up to record a duet, ‘Your Precious Love' with D'Angelo. In 1995, she signed a contract with Kedar Entertainment and moved to Brooklyn. In January 1996, she made her debut with ‘On & On’, which remained at the number-one position on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for two weeks. In 1996, Erykah also recorded her debut album, ‘Baduizm’. Released on February 11, 1997 by Kedar Records, The Grammy award-winning album received universal acclaim from critics, who not only praised the musical style of the album, but also her ‘artistic vision’, establishing her position as the torchbearer of soul music. Her next album, ‘Live’ was a live album released on November 18, 1997, barely a month after the release of its lead single, ‘Tyrone’. It was also a huge hit and reached number four on the US Billboard 200 and number one on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. While ‘Live’ was being recorded Badu was pregnant with her first child. After its release, she took some time off to raise her child, not returning until 1999. 115. Open Comments: 116. Question: What is neo-soul and why don’t I like it? 117. Movie Scene:Eve’s Bayou, Written and directed by Kasi Lemmons; produced by Caldecot Chubb and Samuel L. Jackson - Starring: Samuel L. Jackson (Louis Batiste), Jurnee Smollett (Eve Batiste), Lynn Whitfield (Roz Batiste), Debbi Morgan (Mozelle Batiste Delacroix), Vondie Curtis Hall (Julian Grayraven), Meagan Good (Cisely Batiste) and Diahann Carroll (Elzora). 118. Review #1: “...As these images unfold, we are drawn into the same process Eve has gone through: We, too, are trying to understand what happened in that summer of 1962, when Eve's handsome, dashing father--a doctor and womanizer--took one chance too many. And we want to understand what happened late one night between the father and Eve's older sister, in a moment that was over before it began. 119. We want to know because the film makes it perfectly possible that there is more than one explanation; "Eve's Bayou" studies the way that dangerous emotions can build up until something happens that no one is responsible for and that can never be taken back. 120. All of these moments unfold in a film of astonishing maturity and confidence; "Eve's Bayou," one of the very best films of the year, is the debut of its writer and director, Kasi Lemmons. She sets her story in Southern Gothic country, in the bayous and old Louisiana traditions that Tennessee Williams might have been familiar with, but in tone and style she earns comparison with the family dramas of Ingmar Bergman. That Lemmons can make a film this good on the first try is like a rebuke to established filmmakers..."Eve's Bayou" resonates in the memory. It called me back for a second and third viewing. If it is not nominated for Academy Awards, then the academy is not paying attention. For the viewer, it is a reminder that sometimes films can venture into the realms of poetry and dreams. - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times 121. Review #2: Kasi Lemmons’ fluid, feminine, African-American, Southern-gothic narrative covers a tremendous amount of emotional territory with the most graceful of steps. Young Jurnee Smollett plays 10-year-old Eve, struggling to understand the womanizing of her adored daddy (Samuel L. Jackson in easy, sexy command) and the passions of her big sister; Debbi Morgan, in a blazing performance, plays Eve’s vibrant aunt, infused with good-witch spiritual powers. The film’s dream-state visual elegance is matched by a great soundtrack. Grade, A-. - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly 122. Review #3: First and best, it's got a rip-roaring story. It sweeps you along, borne effortlessly by believable if flawed characters, as it flows toward the inevitable tragedy. But it's also got a heart: It watches as a child harsh of judgment learns that judgment is too easy a posture for the world, and it's best to love with compassion. - Stephen Hunter, Washington Post 123. Review #4: “You don't have to believe in magic to be gripped by the psychic forces that the characters' sorcery unleashes. Sibling rivalry, sexual jealousy and anxiety are all feelings that, when heated to the boiling point, have incendiary, semi magical powers. And as the psychosexual forces that bind but also threaten the Batiste family heat up, you can feel the lid about to blow. Every element of the film -- from the turbulent, stormy performances to the rich cinematography (which includes black-and-white computer-enhanced dream sequences) to the setting itself, in which the thick layers of hanging moss over muddy water seem to drip with sexual intrigue and secrecy -- merges to create an atmosphere of extraordinary erotic tension and anxiety. 124. At the center of it all, exuding a dangerous magnetism, is Jackson's Louis, a swashbuckling, flashing-eyed, slightly oily lightning rod of a charmer whose charisma conveys a warning electric buzz. Jackson has never played a character quite this avid. And in a performance that requires him to infuse the role of perfect father and dream lover with a demonic charge, Jackson makes Louis at once irresistibly lovable and slightly terrifying. - Stephen Holden, New York Times 125.

TV Scene: “Miss Evers’ Boys”: Powerful, haunting and artfully mounted, “Miss Evers’ Boys” is a docudrama of uncommon quality and clarity. The acting is exceptional, the characters vivid, the presentation balanced. Original films for television rarely aim so high as does this HBO NYC production...And cinematographically, it is a revelation, with director of photography Donald M. Morgan lending the production a strikingly dingy, washed-out look that blends perfectly with the piece’s bleak sensibility. The story as told here centers on nurse Eunice Evers (a dynamic, layered performance from Alfre Woodard). Evers went to work at Alabama’s Tuskegee Hospital in 1932 to assist a certain Dr. Brodus (brilliant work from Joe Morton) in caring for poor black men (sharecroppers mostly) who have been stricken with syphilis. Enter Dr. Douglas (Craig Sheffer), a white doctor who brings with him a fully funded program to treat syphilis at the hospital, offering free treatment to any man who tests positive for the disease. A few months pass before Brodus travels to Washington to meet with Douglas and a government panel of doctors who tell him the funding for treatment has dried up. However, money is available for a study of the syphilitic African-American men. The catch: They can receive no medical treatment initially as a way to establish whether syphilis affects blacks and whites differently. Brodus initially is outraged, but acquiesces in the belief the study will disprove the racist notion of physiological inferiority in blacks. Evers also reluctantly follows along, lying to the men while giving them only vitamins, tonics and liniment rubs. But as the months turn into years, it becomes clear that the afflicted men will never receive treatment. Only with their deaths is the study of how the disease runs its course made complete and viable….[the movie] switches gears during its second hour to become an examination of Evers’ gut-wrenching moral ambiguity in sticking around to help perpetrate this ghastly fraud over 40 years. Woodard movingly conveys the conflict weighing down Evers’ guilt-riddled soul, giving a profound resonance to the disturbing ethical questions raised by her dedication in the name of lending the men comfort and a form of loving (if deliberately ineffectual) care….the overall tone and tenor of “Miss Evers’ Boys” is one of subtle brilliance, bolstered by an exquisitely detailed period sheen that screams excellence. After it’s over, you sit disbelieving that such an inhumane, insidious experiment designed to reduce black men to the level of laboratory animals could ever have been conducted in the United States of America — much less gone undetected until 25 years ago. It went far beyond mere institutional racism. It was pure evil. — Ray Richmond Vanity Fair 128. Open Comments: 129. Vote: Best/most important/favorite pop culture item from 1997?

Pocas veces una noche de investigación depara tantas sorpresas. Cuarto Milenio pone sobre la mesa todo lo que Paloma Navarrete y el equipo captó en su visita a Belchite "Va a ser muy difícil para este equipo olvidar las investigaciones en Belchite. Uno no imagina que eso intangible, extraño, que debe acompañarnos desde el principio de los tiempos, se puede cruzar con nosotros. No ha sido una persona, hemos sido todo un equipo, cada uno con su forma de pensar, de una forma sectorial, hemos vivido y sentido cosas que además se acompañan de datos tecnológicos", así de emocionado presentaba Iker la segunda parte de la investigación en el pueblo abandonado de Belchite. A la primera entrega se une la experiencia de la sensitiva Paloma Navarrete en el pueblo en ruinas. Extrañas visiones que Navarrete tuvo en el viejo pueblo y que explican el origen de estas voces, cánticos y ruidos captados por los equipos de grabación. "Pocas veces he visto a Paloma tan inquieta. Paloma se desplazó a Belchite sin saber nada de lo que este equipo había vivido unos días antes… y Paloma estaba tan inquieta que llega a decir: 'me quiero ir de aquí'", recuerda Iker con la invitada en el plató. "Ha sido una experiencia muy inquietante porque ha sido el lugar donde me he encontrado con un mayor nivel de angustia, un lugar muy impregnado de sufrimiento, de dolor, de angustia y todo muy vivo, muy ahí", asegura la protagonista. "Era tal la sensación de muerte ahí que yo les dije: 'Yo no subo. Yo me quiero ir'. Luego ya me entró la sensatez y subí con el resto del equipo. Yo subía por las escaleras y oía respiraciones y cuando llegué arriba lo único que había era cadáveres unos encima de otros…¡terrible!", así recuerda Paloma uno de los momentos más duros en Belchite. Psicofonías Además, Iker analizó junto a Manuel Rodríguez, los sonidos captados allí. "Es de los sonidos más extraños y más difíciles de interpretar como algo extraño… los cánticos se oyen claramente", afirma el ingeniero de sonido y colaborador del programa. Pruebas sonoras que dan fe de que Belchite es, sin duda alguna, un lugar marcado.

Evangelio de hoy en audio, ¡suscríbete para escuchar siempre el evangelio del día! 21 de mayo de 2020 Jueves de la sexta semana de Pascua Evangelio según San Juan 16,16-20. Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: "Dentro de poco, ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver". Entonces algunos de sus discípulos comentaban entre sí: "¿Qué significa esto que nos dice: 'Dentro de poco ya no me verán, y poco después, me volverán a ver'?. ¿Y que significa: 'Yo me voy al Padre'?". Decían: "¿Qué es este poco de tiempo? No entendemos lo que quiere decir".

Today, 2/16/2020, we pay homage to Big L Lamont Coleman (May 30, 1974 – February 15, 1999), known professionally as Big L, was an American rapper and songwriter. Emerging from East Harlem, New York in the early to mid-1990s, Coleman became well known amongst underground hip-hop fans for his freestyling ability, and was eventually signed to Columbia Records, where, in 1995, he released his debut album, Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous, an album that is now considered by many fans to be a classic[citation needed]. On February 15, 1999, Coleman was shot nine times by an unknown assailant in East Harlem, New York, his hometown. He died from his injuries[citation needed]. Noted for his use of wordplay, multiple writers at AllMusic, HipHopDX and The Source have praised Coleman for his lyrical ability,[1][2] and he has also been described as "one of the most auspicious storytellers in hip hop history."[3] Regarding Coleman's legacy in an interview with Funkmaster Flex, Nas claimed "[Coleman] scared me to death. When I heard [his performance at the Apollo Theater] on tape, I was scared to death. I said, 'Yo, it's no way I can compete if this is what I gotta compete with.'"[4] #29DaysOfBlackHistory *Putting People On Game does not own any rights to this music or images* Hit us up or send us a text 214-744-3601!

Hi everyone! One of the commitments for One Movie Punch in Year Three is to feature more microbudget and independent features. We’ve started to receive screeners from a variety of small independent distributors, featuring a wide variety of films. Every Wednesday, we hope to feature an independent and/or microbudget feature, with up to two interviews per month with the filmmakers when schedules allow. Today’s review will cover Irish filmmaker Robbie Walsh’s EDEN, a microbudget drama looking at homelessness in Dublin after a recent economic crash. And it doesn’t get more microbudget than this film, made for just around 600 Euro in 2012, although not completed until 2016. I was lucky enough to sit down and speak with Robbie about the film, along with his film career and his brief MMA career. The full interview will be available at our Patreon page this Sunday, but you’ll hear snippets of the interview throughout today’s review. We’ll also be playing the full trailer audio for EDEN beforehand. Subscribe to stay current with the latest releases. Contribute at Patreon for exclusive content. Connect with us over social media to continue the conversation. Here we go! ///// > ///// Today’s movie is EDEN, the Irish microbudget drama written and directed by Robbie Walsh. Set against the dire homelessness crisis in Dublin, Ireland, EDEN follows a day in the life of Adam (Johnny Elliott), a homeless man living his life to the best of his ability. Throughout the day, he encounters a variety of Dubliners, struggling with their own problems, and a few willing to help him with his. No spoilers. I always get a little nervous when filmmakers tackle homelessness. I think the first film I saw that tackled homelessness was John Hughes’ last film, 1991’s CURLY SUE, where Bill Dancer (Jim Belushi) and his companion Curly Sue (Alisan Porter) pull scams to make enough to eat and conning a divorce lawyer into a heartwarming conclusion. The second instance was seeing another Hughes screenplay, 1991’s DUTCH, when Dutch (Ed O’Neill) must transport his girlfriend’s son Doyle (a very young Ethan Embry), and after losing their car, spend a night in a homeless shelter. The overall messaging in both films was positive, but making a comedy out of child homelessness and including a scene of a rich kid slumming it in a shelter cannot help but feel privileged. The same privilege sparked a more complex debate over 2014’s TIME OUT OF MIND, where Richard Gere played a homeless man on the streets of New York, including some method preparation by hanging out on the street. While this kind of effort also feels privileged, because Gere knows at any time he can just catch a cab home, it was also for a drama, which at least gets us moving in the right direction. I’ve seen a new wave of films about homelessness that have gotten better at capturing the real plight, at least in the United States. 2016’s CARDBOARD BOXER saw Thomas Haden Church play a homeless man exploited by rich kids to participate in the atrocious phenomenon known as bum fights. It is a very difficult watch, and has its rough moments, but tackles way more than the tantalizing subject matter. 2018’s LEAVE NO TRACE saw the return of Debra Granik, the genius behind WINTER’S BONE, adapting a book based on the rumored lives of a father/daughter pair living completely off the grid in Oregon. The film not only showed a different side to homelessness, with a special focus on PTSD, but also the very real strains on families living off the grid. And now, as I’ve recently seen in Robbie Walsh’s EDEN, the situation isn’t just limited to the United States. ROBBIE: "The inspiration itself came from a few different areas. At the time, I had recently just left the military and found myself in between jobs and in between homes, essentially. And at the time, I was lucky in that I still had a lot of my military equipment, like sleeping bags and what not, and I had my car, so I had a couple of weeks, and I was too embarrassed to tell my family I didn't have a job at the time, and eventually I did and I had to come back home, which was a huge thing you find with Irish people, especially if they travel overseas. And as we were making the film, our lead actor, Johnny Elliott, fantastic actor, as we were filming, he was literally the same thing, he was between homes and a couple of the actors who would guest, small roles, and a couple of two and unders, two lines and under, you know, one of the guys was my housemate, and he moved into the house with my producer, who we were all living together. We found out he was living in a doorway in the city center in town, in Dublin, and we were like, 'Dude, what are you doing?' And he was a dear friend of my friend Philip's, and he said, 'Yo, come on, come live in the house with us.' We helped get him back on his feet. Our cameraman was in between homes. He'd just been told his rent would be going up in his apartment, and he couldn't afford it, and he was trying to find somewhere else to live. Very, very rampant. One of the girls who was living with us was struggling to pay rent to the point where she didn't have a tv or anything. There was an actress, one of the finest actresses in the country, you know, and nothing. She could barely feed her kids, like, you know? We didn't know this until we were filming, and as we were filming, they were telling, sharing the stories, and telling the stories, you know? And I was just like, 'This is going to get worse before it gets better'." If anyone is going to talk about homelessness in cinema, it should be those folks who have actually experienced homelessness. I’ve been lucky enough to have always had a roof over my head, but I’ve known a few people who’ve spent some time without a home, and the experience affects each person in similar and unique ways. EDEN’s cast and crew all have experienced some form of homelessness, and the authenticity shows in the storytelling and in the character’s portrayals. The hardest part about portraying the homeless is to not fall back on stereotypes, even if sometimes homelessness expresses itself in similar ways. ROBBIE: “and that's where I tried to do as much as possible was to show slow descent into Adam's situation with each interaction, and each person will reflect a stage of life where Adam has probably found himself, and he's chosen to go left or right. Literally through no fault of his own, it's just because work dried up and he couldn't afford to pay the rent.” Every character along Adam’s journey feels authentic, and each serves a unique purpose. Sarah Carroll plays Claire, a mother turning to sex work to make ends meet. Kelly Blaise plays a woman jumping to conclusions about Adam. Robbie Walsh himself gets in front of the camera as a taxi driver who had previously been homeless. And in Robbie’s favorite scene, Kevin O’Brien plays someone who just lost their job. ROBBIE: “My favorite scene is the one where he sits on the park bench, and the guy sits beside him. At times, because of how Kev O'Brien plays this spoiled guy, he gets sympathy, you feel sympathy one second, then he's a sleazebag the next. And the next minute, I can see where people have done that. And then you're like, 'You know what, do you deserve it or don't you?'” One of my favorite parts of speaking with the filmmakers for these special review episodes is that I get a chance to learn more about the process of how the film was made. I think films should be judged similar to how diving is judged at the Olympics; difficulty definitely plays into overall rating. I’m particularly interested in the constraints independent filmmakers are working under, and in the case of EDEN, just how much can be done with very little. ROBBIE: “I filmed it in four days, because I didn't have the money, I had like 600 Euro, which works out at the time about $800, you know. When we finished filming after three days, my editor came to me, he's like, 'Robbie, you know, we need a bit more footage. We need another scene or otherwise we don't get the feature.' I was like, 'You know what, I have this great scene wrote for something else, but I think it might work. Let me see if these two guys are available.' And they were. We went down and shot the last day with just the two of them and a skeleton crew. I say a skeleton crew, it was my crew, my entire crew of four. And we got this wonderful, lovely scene that I really, really love, you know, and that... I don't know if it resonates with me but certainly my favorite scene in the film.” I can’t think of many films that can be made for $800, at least not without a lot of sweat equity and team passion. Knowing this fact made my only concern about the film seem moot, a bit of shaky camera work in some scenes, particularly when Adam is playing with the producer’s dog, Lily. In fact, most of EDEN was shot in 2012, but finished up later on closer to 2016, when it first debuted. It has since been screened around the world, at a few festivals, and in support of the Simon Community in Dublin, which work to fight homelessness. Back to the diving analogy for a bit, this has to be one of the highest difficulties, and as such, EDEN excels well beyond its means. The flipside of talking with the filmmakers is that sometimes you learn things you weren’t quite expecting. One of my favorite aspects of EDEN was the incredible scoring and soundtrack, mostly in the form of instrumental post-rock from an Irish musician named Andrew Mann. I was really excited to find out more about it, but wasn’t quite ready for the story that followed. ROBBIE: “So I went along, and we got talking to this American girl at it, who was going out with an Irish musician, and I'd happen to mention to him that I was looking for music for a film, and his name was Andrew Mann. ROBBIE: “And he went and sent me all of these pieces on, and then when I gave them to the editor, my editor rang me and he was like, 'Look, we can use this piece here, this piece...' He was literally reading my mind. And the closing song is from a friend of mine, a really great band called Keywest. If you guys check them, if you want to check them out, they are a fantastic Irish band, and there's a little bit of music from Richard Geraghty, but Andrew Mann scored mostly the entire film.” ROBBIE: “Unfortunately, Andrew Mann passed away earlier this year. It was a very complicated situation, and it was by his own hands. It was literally two weeks or three weeks after the film had gotten its theatrical release. There was a lot of, a lot of personal... very public, very personal stuff that was really out in the world, and himself and the girl he was with a very long time, had kind of taken their own lives. I can't really talk much more about it because I don't know the intricacies of what happened, you know. Really nice guy. Fantastic musician." Suicide sucks, and that’s coming from someone who suffers from anxiety and depression and has had more than one bout of suicidal thoughts. It also happens at a higher rate among those in poverty and dealing with homelessness. Mental illness isn’t necessarily something someone has but is a situation that can be brought about by the right circumstances. In these tough economic times, it’s easy to slip into that downward spiral. For anyone out there that might be having similar thoughts, please reach out to anyone and seek professional help. On a side note before we wrap up, Robbie Walsh was also an MMA fighter, Ireland’s first MMA title holder by luck of the card. You can hear more about it in the full interview on Sunday, but what’s truly inspiring is how he leveraged that experience for filmmaking. ROBBIE: “Actually, that's how I got my money to make ACES, my short film. I had no money to make it, so I fought in a cage and got some money together and made my short film ACES. I went then to get it into Cannes, and after that, it was pretty stoked about that. It was the first short I had directed, then I went on to do some coaching in boxing. A decent MMA career but I had to hang up the gloves because I was too old, too tired, and too blind." If “filmmaker does cage fighting to fund his craft” isn’t an inspiring story, I don’t know what is. EDEN is a marvelous microbudget drama dealing with homelessness in Dublin, as seen through a day in the life of one man. Constrained by a $800 budget and a quick four day shoot, the cast and crew of EDEN manage to leverage an incredible amount of a value from a very low cost, authentically held together by great acting and an excellent score. Coming in at a tight 76 minutes, EDEN is a quick, but powerful watch recommended for anyone who advocates for the homeless, or to see how great the microbudget scene can be. Rotten Tomatoes: NR Metacritic: NR One Movie Punch: 7.5/10 EDEN (2016) is not rated and is currently playing on Amazon Prime, OPPrime TV, UK Film Channel, and on VOD.
"Al que tiene, se le dará; pero al que no tiene, se le quitará aún lo que tiene" Hola, soy Alekz ¡Vamos a viralizar el Evangelio! Evangelio de hoy en audio, ¡suscríbete para escuchar siempre el evangelio del día! Miércoles de la trigésima tercera semana del Tiempo Ordinario Evangelio según San Lucas 19,11-28. Jesús dijo una parábola, porque estaba cerca de Jerusalén y la gente pensaba que el Reino de Dios iba a aparecer de un momento a otro. El les dijo: "Un hombre de familia noble fue a un país lejano para recibir la investidura real y regresar en seguida. Llamó a diez de sus servidores y les entregó cien monedas de plata a cada uno, diciéndoles: 'Háganlas producir hasta que yo vuelva'. Pero sus conciudadanos lo odiaban y enviaron detrás de él una embajada encargada de decir: 'No queremos que este sea nuestro rey'. Al regresar, investido de la dignidad real, hizo llamar a los servidores a quienes había dado el dinero, para saber lo que había ganado cada uno. El primero se presentó y le dijo: 'Señor, tus cien monedas de plata han producido diez veces más'. 'Está bien, buen servidor, le respondió, ya que has sido fiel en tan poca cosa, recibe el gobierno de diez ciudades'. Llegó el segundo y le dijo: 'Señor, tus cien monedas de plata han producido cinco veces más'. A él también le dijo: 'Tú estarás al frente de cinco ciudades'. Llegó el otro y le dijo: 'Señor, aquí tienes tus cien monedas de plata, que guardé envueltas en un pañuelo. Porque tuve miedo de ti, que eres un hombre exigente, que quieres percibir lo que no has depositado y cosechar lo que no has sembrado'. El le respondió: 'Yo te juzgo por tus propias palabras, mal servidor. Si sabías que soy un hombre exigentes, que quiero percibir lo que no deposité y cosechar lo que no sembré, ¿por qué no entregaste mi dinero en préstamo? A mi regreso yo lo hubiera recuperado con intereses'. Y dijo a los que estaban allí: 'Quítenle las cien monedas y dénselas al que tiene diez veces más'. '¡Pero, señor, le respondieron, ya tiene mil!'. Les aseguro que al que tiene, se le dará; pero al que no tiene, se le quitará aún lo que tiene. En cuanto a mis enemigos, que no me han querido por rey, tráiganlos aquí y mátenlos en mi presencia". Después de haber dicho esto, Jesús siguió adelante, subiendo a Jerusalén.

Jesús enseñó con una parábola que era necesario orar siempre sin desanimarse: "En una ciudad había un juez que no temía a Dios ni le importaban los hombres; y en la misma ciudad vivía una viuda que recurría a él, diciéndole: 'Te ruego que me hagas justicia contra mi adversario'. Durante mucho tiempo el juez se negó, pero después dijo: 'Yo no temo a Dios ni me importan los hombres, pero como esta viuda me molesta, le haré justicia para que no venga continuamente a fastidiarme'". Y el Señor dijo: "Oigan lo que dijo este juez injusto. Y Dios, ¿no hará justicia a sus elegidos, que claman a él día y noche, aunque los haga esperar?

Together they run The Chori-Man, a local chorizo deli located on 24th and Alma St. Humberto was originally in the medical field when he became known amongst his peers for always eating beans for lunch. There was nothing extraordinary about his routine until one day his co-worker wanted to try some. This was the beginning. The beans were cooked with homemade chorizo from his family's traditional southern Mexican recipe. It was a matter of time before he quit his job as a medical professional to become what he called a "chorizo man". Humberto on leaving his job to become the "chorizo man" : "I came home one day from school and I was like ' you know I don't think this is for me. I don't want to do this anymore'. So I call my dad and was like 'Yo, can I get the chorizo recipe' and he says 'Yeah. You going to have a barbecue?' and I was like, 'Nope!I'm gonna become the chorizo-man.'" After a few a few wholesale deals between local restaurants and the deli he was working at at the time, he was starting to get known in the area. One day he was a approached by a man who later described his chorizo purchase much like a drug deal on the corner. It was this purchase and the fine chorizo that inspired this man, a writer for LA Weekly, to write about LA's "Best Secret Chorizo". Mandy on meeting The Chori-Man: " I live in Pedro, and in 2015 I discovered him at Crafted. I'd never eaten chorizo before ... It became my Sunday ritual. I'd go to the farmers market and I'd go to the Chori-Man." The Chori-Man plans to expand to it's second location in the near future and it's third location at the San Pedro Public Market after it's completion. Humberto is also a candidate for San Pedro's Honorary Mayor. His business is raising money for San Pedro Meals On Wheels and Green Girl Farms.
