"Karjeru vēl nebeidzu – man ir ļoti daudz ideju! Fakts, ka es par to domāju, gan ir īsts, taču tas nav paredzēts ne nākamo piecu, ne desmit gadu laikā. Patiesībā šī epizode tika izrauta ārā no konteksta: mūsu trīs stundu garā saruna tika reducēta dažās minūtēs izlasāmā materiālā un līdz ar to sanāca tā, ka beidzu savu karjeru," komentējot plašsaziņas līdzekļos izskanējušo mulsinošo informāciju, kas sekojusi pēc intervijas Austrijas televīzijas raidījumā "Brokastis ar mani", skaidrību ievieš pasaulslavenā latviešu operdziedātāja Elīna Garanča. Sarunā ar Latvijas Radio 3 "Klasika" direktori Gundu Vaivodi dziedātāja stāsta par grezno Vīnes Operas balli, kas risinājusies 8. februārī un kurā piedalījusies jau trešo reizi, par pasaules nemieru un ukraiņu karavīriem adītajām vilnas zeķītēm, kas top, mācoties operu partitūras, par grūto ungāru valodu, kas nekādi nedodas rokā, un arī par divām dzīvēm, kuras tiek izdzīvotas vienlaikus: "Ir dziedātāja Garanča, kas ir smuki sapucējusies, uzstājas koncertos, prezentācijās un raksta diskus, un ir Elīna, kura dzīvo paralēlo dzīvi un ir meita, sieva, māte, vienkārši draudzene vai paziņa. Sieviete, kas iet cauri dzīvei. Kaut kad tai Garančai balss vairs nebūs, taču Elīna vēl var nodzīvot ilgu mūžu! Tāpēc man negribētos atstāt Elīnas dzīvi novārtā." Gunda Vaivode: Tu Rīgā šodien esi ļoti privātu iemeslu dēļ, jo tavai mammai ir 75. dzimšanas dienas atcere, bet viņa tev, protams, bija ne tikai mamma, bet arī skolotāja un gan jau arī pirmais cenzors. Ko tu pa šiem gadiem - nu jau astoņiem - esi sapratusi un iemācījusies pa šo laiku, bez mammas? Mammas aiziešana bija ārkārtīgi liels šoks un trieciens mums visiem... Kā jau tu saki: viņa bija pirmā recenzente, pirmā kritiķe. Brīdī, kad pēkšņi viņas vairs nebija blakus, likās – tagad esmu pati par sevi. Savā ziņā tā bija arī tāda kā brīvības sajūta – un apziņa, ka tagad pati par sevi esmu atbildīga. Jau no paša sākuma ar mammu vienmēr bijām runājušas, ka vienam viedoklim nedrīkst akli uzticēties: man vienmēr bijuši arī citi pedagogi un citi cilvēki, pie kuriem esmu gājusi uz konsultācijām. Esmu meklējusi pedagogus arī sava repertuāra attīstībai. Mamma zināja arī par manu pašreizējo pedagogu, un deva savu svētību, tā ka zināju: viena pati nepalikšu, būs noteikti kāds, kuram uzticēties. Bet nu… Protams, ka vēl joprojām pietrūkst sajūtas, ka pēc liela koncerta vai izrādes translācijas varu mammai piezvanīt un pajautāt – nu, kā bija? Kam zvani tagad? Noklausos pati, šad un tad paprasu savam pedagogam, šad un tad sazvanāmies ar tēti, kurš pasaka savu viedokli, bet nu – tētim vienmēr ļoti patīk teikt man tā: "Tu neforsē un nedziedi par daudz!" To mēģinu ielāgot. Bet tavos sapņos sarunas ar mammu droši vien turpinās? Jā. Mamma pati bija māksliniece. Redzot, kā šis process mājās notika un cik daudzas reizes viss ir jāatkārto, pati sev esmu kļuvusi par tādu kā cenzori: ir situācijas, kurās šķiet – vēroju un vērtēju sevi no malas. Turklāt mūsdienās jau var ierakstīt jebkuru izrādi, jebkuru koncertu un uzreiz noklausīties. Ja zinu, ka zālē būs radio vai televīzija, vienmēr pieprasu visu ģenerālmēģinājumu un skaņas pārbaužu ierakstus: klausos un mēģinu arī šādā ziņā sevi attīstīt. Tagad tu pati, būdama profesionāla dziedātāja, turklāt ar laika distanci vari novērtēt savu mammu – kā viņa dziedāja? Man jau likās, ka šis jautājums parādīsies... (sirsnīgi smejas) Jā, nu... Ir interesanti! Es domāju, ka mums būtu, par ko parunāt! Arī tev tagad varētu būt pirmā cenzora tiesības! Varētu, jo operdziedāšanai un ļoti sarežģītajam belcanto repertuāram ir savas nianses, pie kurām jāstrādā un kuras jāattīsta; tāpat ieraksti, kas tapuši studijā pie mikrofona vai lielajās koncertzālēs – tehniski ir daudzas lietas, kas jāattīsta, jāpilnveido un jāpamaina. Mūsu fonotēkā ir ļoti daudz Anitas ierakstu, kuros viņa fiksējusi tieši latviešu mūziku, un domāju, ka šajā ziņā viņa ar tevi ļoti lepotos. Patiesībā mēs visi lepojamies ar to, ka tu savos koncertos jau no sākta gala esi iepludinājusi arī latviešu komponistu mūziku. Arī tava solokoncerta programmā Zalcburgā, kas notiks 20. augustā, redzam deviņas latviešu dziesmas! Tur ir Jāzeps Mediņš, Alfrēds Kalniņš, Jānis Mediņš, Jāzeps Vītols... Vai, tavuprāt, mūsu mūzika labi pieguļ sekojošajam Rihardam Štrausam? Tas savā veidā ir liels izaicinājums. Varbūt pat risks, jo mūzika nezināma? No muzikoloģijas viedokļa par risku domāju mazāk, drīzāk tās ir manas iekšējās sajūtas un pārliecība: uzskatu, ka mūsu dižgari muzikālajā ziņā ļoti labi sader ar jebkuru romantiķi vai pēdējā gadsimta komponistu mūziku. Mediņš vai Dārziņš ļoti labi saskan ar Rihardu Štrausu! Mēs taču zinām, kur mūsu komponisti mācījušies, no kādas mūzikas viņi ietekmējušies, un uzskatu, ka ir laiks šo mūziku iznest arī kaut kur citur. Nu, ar ko gan, piemēram, Vītols ir sliktāks par Štrausu vai Māleru?! Jā, varbūt dimensija ir cita, bet tā ir mūsu identitāte, mūsu iekšējā pasaule, mūsu valoda. Ļoti daudzi tādu latviešu valodu nemaz nav dzirdējuši! Daudzi koncertzāļu direktori saka – mums vajag jaunu materiālu: cik var klausīties Brāmsa dziesmas, cik var klausīties vienu un to pašu Vāgneru vai Māleru? Līdz ar to tā ir arī iespēja parādīt latviešu komponistus. Tu tikko minēji, ka mamma daudz dziedāja latviešu mūziku: jā gan – viņai tika rakstīti daudzi pirmatskaņojumi, un es vēl joprojām atrodu dažādu komponistu notis ar ierakstu "veltījums Anitai" vai "mīļajai Anitiņai". Ir tik daudz atšķirīgu melodiju! Sāku spēlēt, klausīties un domāju – es taču šo darbu pazīstu un atceros; pilnīgi vizuāli redzu, kā mamma gatavoja koncertus, kurus viņa dziedāja visās iespējamās koncertzālēs. Tas man pašai šobrīd ir tāds kā sentimentāls ceļojums, jo liekas, ka arī man pamazām tuvojas zīmīgs vecums un nepieciešamība būt ļoti tuvā kontaktā ar šo mūziku. Pavisam drīz "Deutsche Grammophon" laidīs klajā arī jaunu tavu albumu, un arī tajā iekļauta latviešu mūzika. Tas man bija ļoti svarīgi. Ar Maestro Raimondu Paulu jau pirms kāda laika bijām šo to ierakstījuši, bet izrādījās, ka nesapas kaut kāda programma vai bija citas tehniskas nianses, kāpēc "Deutsche Grammophon" tas nederēja, tāpēc speciāli vēlreiz ierakstījām dažus skaņdarbus. Un kas vēl būs šajā diskā? Tas būs tāds noskaņu albums. Tas būs tāds kā ceļojums dažu stundu garumā – kad pienāk vakars vai kad pienāk nakts... Tā doma bija – cilvēks atnāk mājās no sava darba, no sava skrējiena, no pārbrauciena, un pamazām, pamazām aiziet sapņu pasaulē. Pēdējais skaņdarbs albumā mums ir a cappella "Aijā, žūžu, lāča bērni", kas man bija ļoti, ļoti svarīga. Ar šo dziesmu saistītas pirmās atmiņas par manu omi, šo dziesmu dziedāju saviem bērniem, un man liekas, ka tieši a cappella dziedājumā šī dziesmiņa būtu labs noslēgums albumam. Ja nu gadījumā kāds cilvēks tiešām klausīsies šo disku, tas būs kā pēdējais pieskāriens pirms ieiešanas sapņu pasaulē. Tātad Maestro pats arī piedalās šajos ierakstos? Jā gan, Maestro tur arī pats piedalās, un vēl bija interesanta sadarbība ar Hosē Mariju Galjardo del Reju, kas ir spāņu komponists un ģitārists: arī viņa darbi ir šajā diskā. Man likās tik maģiski: dzīvoju Latvijā un daļēji arī Spānijā, un abas manas pasaules kā piramīdas tiek saliktas kopā. Jā, tā bija tiešām ļoti interesanta sadarbība un enerģija, kas virmoja studijā. Sarunu pilnā apjomā aicinām lasīt portālā lsm.lv.

Welcome back, wine enthusiasts! This week, we're taking a delightful stroll down memory lane to May 22nd, 2021, when I had the privilege of visiting Youngberg Hill. As I meandered up the enchanting driveway, Wayne Bailey's daughter zipped by on a lawnmower, her infectious smile setting the tone for the day. Smiles truly are contagious, aren't they?Youngberg Hill's charm hit me like a spellbinding symphony – a massive tasting room perched on a hill, vines stretching as far as the eye could see, and a view that could steal your breath. Wayne Bailey, the owner, welcomed me, and we settled on the deck with a glass of their 2016 Sparkling Blanc de Noirs – an apt choice for our chat.The history here is rich: a Swedish farm family owned this land in the 1800s, and in 1987, Norman Barnett took over. The late 80s saw Ken Wright planting vineyards, igniting a transformation. Wayne Bailey entered the scene in 2003, nurturing the land organically, progressing to biodynamic practices, and embracing a no-till approach.Our conversation took us to the Jordan block – a haven of own-rooted vines, a rarity in Oregon. Wayne's eyes sparkled as he spoke of the soil, igniting a fascinating dialogue about viticulture. As we sipped wines, Wayne shared his journey – the struggles, the experiments, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.Tasting the wines, I was captivated. The 2017 Bailey Family Chardonnay Reserve, the 2017 Natasha Pinot Noir, and the 2017 Jordan Block (now J Block Y) all danced on my palate, each telling a unique story of the land. But it was the 2012 and 2013 vintages that stole the show – Wayne's dedication to craftsmanship and the land were palpable.We delved into Wayne's family, his daughters, and their shared love for the farm. Nutmeg and Ginger, the Scottish cows on-site, added an extra layer of charm to this idyllic setting. Oh, and did I mention the upcoming vineyard tour? Exploring the vineyard with your phone as your guide – a modern twist on a timeless experience.So, pour yourself a glass of Youngberg Hill wine, join me in reliving this enchanting journey, and discover the symphony of flavors that only nature and Wayne's passion can compose. Don't forget to mention "AIJ sent you" when you visit. Cheers to a symphony of wine and nature's wonders!

Join us as we dive into the remarkable story of Jim Maresh, an unsung hero of Oregon's wine industry. In this episode, we revisit the history of Oregon wine and shine a spotlight on Jim Maresh, whose contributions have left an indelible mark on the region.As a fourth-generation winemaker, Jim's journey began in the late 19th century when his family established vineyards in Burgundy, France. Born in 1926, Jim's early years were shaped by his grandfather's teachings on winemaking, instilling a deep love and appreciation for the craft.In 1948, Jim married Lois Lowey Hanson, and their adventurous spirit led them to embark on a new chapter in Oregon. With only a modest down payment, they purchased a 27-acre farm filled with prunes, cherries, and filberts on Warden Hill Road. Little did they know that this decision would lay the foundation for a lifelong dedication to viticulture.Over the years, Jim's passion for farming and wine led him to expand his property, acquiring neighboring land and planting acres of vines. Despite the challenges and skepticism they faced, Jim's vision and perseverance paid off. He became an integral part of the Oregon wine community, selling grapes to renowned winemakers like Dick Erath and Fred Arterberry Jr.In this podcast episode, we explore Jim Maresh's journey, from his humble beginnings to his role in preserving agricultural land and preventing large-scale development in Yamhill County. We delve into his encounters with influential figures in the industry, like Dick Erath, who recognized the potential of Jim's vineyard as a prime viticulture site.While our host, AIJ, never had the opportunity to meet Jim personally, the narrative is pieced together from various sources, capturing the essence of Jim's character and his profound impact on Oregon wine. Through stories of family, hard work, and a deep connection to the land, we pay homage to Jim's extraordinary legacy.So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and join us as we celebrate the life and contributions of Jim Maresh, a true pioneer in Oregon's wine country.

Neste episódio conversamos com a Dra Virginia Utz sobre o consenso da SBOP de Uveite na AIJ. Meste bate papo falamos sobre as semelhanças e diferenças entre o que se faz no Brasil e nos USA e a importância de se ter um guideline.
A artrite idiopática juvenil (AIJ) é uma doença reumatológica crônica da infância caracterizada por sinovite inflamatória que afeta cerca de0,1 a 1 em cada 1.000 crianças em todo o mundo! Enquanto várias séries de casos de crianças com artrite não relataram artrite da ATM, estudos que avaliaram prospectivamente o envolvimento da ATM com várias modalidades de imagem colocaram a prevalência de artrite da ATM em crianças com AIJ em torno de 50%! Muita coisa, não? Nem sempre há sintomas associados, o que torna o diagnóstico ainda mais desafiador. O maior problema é que esta artrite afeta crianças e adolescentes em fase de crescimento e quando não tratada pode gerar sérias complicações. Neste episódio eu bato um papo com a Profa. Dra. Liete Zwir, a dentista que mais pesquisa e entende sobre o envolvimento da articulação temporomandibular (ATM) pela AIJ. Profa. Liete é especialista em Odontopediatria, Ortodontia e Disfunção Temporomandibular e Dor Orofacial e doutora em Ciências da Saúde Aplicadas à Pediatria pela Universidade Federal de São Paulo (2011). Atualmente é pesquisadora do ambulatório de Reumatologia Infantil da Universidade Federal de São Paulo e vice presidente da Sociedade Brasileira de DTM e Dor Orofacial (SBDOF). Foi uma conversa deliciosa, recheada de boas informações! Estou torcendo para que este programa chegue aos ouvidos de grande parte da odontologia, em especial, os odontopediatras, ortodontistas e radiologistas. Compartilhe também com aquele seu amigo reumatologista ou pediatra! Ah! e se você quer entrar em contato com a professora Liete, segue o email: lfzwir@gmail.com Bom programa!
Theme: Have Utility NFTs Peaked? MoonBirds showed value of Utility NFTs as Proof floor >100, Moonbirds > 30 Speed up can be an indicator of speed down. Is this different? New utility NFTs launching (PoolSuite, Quantum, VSP, MyBFF, MetaRelics, etc) Monster projects seem to be coming up each 3 months Affordable project: Vayner Sports Pass NFT NewsRantum NFT Market Data, Cryptoslam.io NFT Headlines: Get Paid to List NFTs on LooksRare Artist Trevor Jones Announces A NFT Holders Party In A Scottish Castle ApeCoin Experiences Massive Rally Ajax football players trade Sorare NFT cards on insider info allegedly - Ledger Insights - enterprise blockchain Transcript [00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs. We're talking about the very unaffordable utility NFTs a little bit more into moon birds and the the larger [00:00:54] ecosystem of again, how utility is really justifying valuations and valuations of, of these projects. [00:01:04] What have [00:01:05] we seen in the news? [00:01:06] Yeah. [00:01:08] Yeah, here we go. Got a few headlines here. rare. They got a new sort of marketing tactic out here where you can know. The looks token by listing your you know, it's, innovative, I guess it's not my favorite favorite marketplace. But they are certainly trying to move some more adoption to. [00:01:32] That to their marketplace one way or another. are rewarding users by adding there. So I think I read That you need to do 10 or so to make it worthwhile, but if you do have and have some that you want to list, it is check out. [00:01:48] Yeah. I mean, looks token are actually about 25% over the past seven days, which kind of nice [00:01:55] Right. I believe around $2 or so [00:01:57] right now. [00:01:57] Yeah, I got up there. I got up there. Cool. All right. So I guess another token news we've got Abe coin, which they believe last I looked was up over $15. It 30% in about one day. And that was after news leaked out. That UGA labs was planning to do their other side land sale or to hold that sale in the. Ape token rumors are, that's going to start at 600 ape, which would be w had $15 would be around 9,000. [00:02:33] So a little bit over three eat at these, at these priorities, sorry, around three, that these prices. So that's sounds like an aggressive price. When you consider that this first land sale will have thousand pieces and they plan a second land sale for hundred [00:02:50] Sorry, you said a hundred 200,000 [00:02:54] 200,000. Okay. [00:02:56] So I don't, you know, that's a lot, [00:02:58] I'm sorry. 200,000 things priced at three east. Yeah. So that would be 600, you know, if that's real, that's about ether, which would be over what over. Yeah. Oh, that's $1.8 billion or so, so I can't imagine they can really take that in. I would think that I, you know, I've heard also that it could be Dutch auction of, I don't understand how the Dutch auction or worth of work with I don't know. It'll it's, it's interesting. You know, I don't know. If it's too aggressive of a swing, certainly sounds like it may be. But they are going for it. Anyway, and so far people are buying the token in anticipation of that. We'll see closer to the launch. These are All rumors So far the actual mechanics you know, haven't been announced for that land sale. [00:03:42] Although so far, a lot of these rumors that have leaked out of UGA have proven to be [00:03:47] accurate. [00:03:49] Yeah, I'm just looking 14 days. Roughly speaking, it's up 35%, but literally as we're talking over the past 24 hours, it's dropped 16%. So this thing is, this thing is getting wild, right? It's going up and I don't own any aid. [00:04:04] I will say prior. I do own looks [00:04:06] and I know that you own [00:04:07] eight and looks right. [00:04:10] I do not [00:04:10] own looks anymore. Now I have a little bit of ape. Yeah. All right. So next [00:04:17] I just like really quick, like on the eighth thing, like I said this in the discord, but like, I'm like, I missed the train. I missed the train and anytime I find myself trying to throw my baggage car, as it pulls out of the station, like I make a mistake. I buy it. So I am firmly of the belief that like I missed it. That's fine. I, I might keep an eye on the but I'm nervous about those numbers. Maybe we'll do about land perhaps. [00:04:43] Alright, perhaps. All right, what else we get for headlines here? we've got a rate Georgia. You've invited to a castle, a Scottish going on. [00:04:56] Andrew, I'm going to have to have a whole new, a whole friends, because artists, Trevor Jones announces that NFT holders get to So Trevor Jones is an you know he's done a number Bitcoin angel and you know, this is an interesting project, one of the like [00:05:13] tying to Integration to the reaches 7, 7, 7, 7, 7 of giveaway. However, this is [00:05:21] really funny. Sterling castle in an invite only, I I don't think I'll be able to make it. It's nice to get. Usually it's just nice to be invited to a castle. [00:05:32] I mean, I, I wouldn't see a few. You can just swing by, you know, [00:05:37] I don't know. Maybe I [00:05:38] can do it. I've got to talk to you a wife and see if she'll no, no, I think I know the answer to this already. Yeah, [00:05:46] I got an extra I have to, I can give you one if you want to come with. right. Well, we'll see what happens there. I think that we'll see you when you make it over to the party. Sounds like anyway, moving on. Let's see what else we've got here. We've got this one and this one's good. so we've got the Ajax football team soccer team. We're caught like or trading on some civil rare and FTEs. had found out. [00:06:13] that they were going to switch the starting keeper. starting keepers NFTs, bought the back. Before the news went public, of course, people have figured this out. They've got public accounts. So you know, fans and others quickly figured out what happened here. So, so far they're saying not, it's technically not. [00:06:33] Regulated by commission. Although I imagine that that one's not going to hold up so well with their, with their league. I don't know about the the financial implications remember what you do on the blockchain can be seen could see the time. So even if it's not known right at the Yeah. I mean, clearly if it were a stock, that is [00:06:58] something that is frowned upon by the And in general a public market in any ways. He's a big no-no, it's just dumb. Like, what are you doing? Don't do that. But it's the beginning of the complexities of when NFT marketplaces that offer liquidity to you know, players, trading cards and pieces that impacted, like, I wonder what would have happened if those were sports cars and instead they dumped them on eBay. [00:07:26] I don't think anybody would look two ways about it. But because it's on the chain, it's with your name doing this and people will find out. [00:07:35] That's true. Yes. You know, her too hard to complete that information when it's on the [00:07:42] speaking of sports smooth transition here, look at me. [00:07:46] Speaking of sports, the Vayner sports pass, you're bringing this to us. I have heard about it. We talked about it. This was AAJ Vaynerchuk, Gary Vaynerchuks brother, this was the notorious [00:08:01] and infamous now uh, Supermint price where the cost of minty. [00:08:07] Far exceeded the actual amount that was paid for the actual project. So do you want to talk us [00:08:14] through the Vayner sports pass and why you see it as an [00:08:16] opportunity? now. , So this is now it's the collection is now sitting at about a point for a floor. I believe gun back and forth a little bit under that. We. you know, has, as we talked about, this caused a quite the waste of gas when launch and has certainly helped to keep the full floor down. [00:08:40] I think, you know, it got a lot of negative attention when it launched. So I think in some ways that is good as a, you someone at the collection now. We talked about at first, it is by AIJ banner who is Gary Vaynerchuk. Brother I don't know, a ton about his, ex his past. [00:09:01] I know he's been some of guarantees projects in the past. believe, you know, I have to think that he's going to use a lot of his connections that he felt with with Gary over the years to to help promote they do have a, they've announced that they have a roadmap coming this But hopefully it is more than some of the roadmaps we've seen where they are quickly maybe a Google doc and published. That's this is my hope that it's done in a much more, professional manner. They have announced some partnerships with athletes in the NMA area. I've not terribly familiar with MMA. [00:09:35] So I don't know, sort of the level of notoriety these athletes at this point. So these keys themselves are. There are various icons on various backgrounds and colors for the part or the basic ones. There's, not much difference among those. [00:09:54] From what I can tell, I don't there's much different in what they give you in terms of access. There are a few levels of these. So when you're looking at see that there are so. Let's see different, there are different colors that do have a more, that are more rare than others. So you see different levels. Once you get, let's see into like the gold, those jump up a bit. Let's see. The green actually. Let's eight aren't much above floor. Again, I if there's something to that color I have to think that there will be certain certain levels of access with different tier cards on here. [00:10:33] But I think it is you know, it's at an affordable price now let's see. Point three, nine, five as we speak. I've been watching it, do not have any yet. And I don't think you have any at this port point either, right? George. [00:10:46] I don't, but like my macro piece on this you know, from podcasts I've been listening to. Including overpriced JPEGs and people that have worked firsthand with ADV Vaynerchuk, the guy is sharp. The way that this was coded on chain was done intentionally. So the, the bad byproduct was the cost of gas and sort of getting this out there. [00:11:08] But it was in favor of a long-term technical decision. So far. What I know of the Vaynerchuk brand is succeed and is tied to the whole. And that they're [00:11:20] very, very deep into these sports [00:11:22] media. and what's more the sort of the [00:11:26] Vayner VaynerMedia And the marketing therapy works with a lot, [00:11:31] As you [00:11:31] mentioned, sports teams and has a lot of access, and they're becoming frankly, the leaders [00:11:38] in crypto consulting and NFT consulting. and I dunno, you combine those things for me. And I think. [00:11:44] It's very clear that [00:11:47] this probably pays back with drops alone. And the other reason of sort of like why now because that was one of the worst drops I have [00:11:54] seen ever, and I think [00:11:58] it's still holding at a price, [00:12:00] It would have killed a lot of projects and I think [00:12:03] in the water. You kidding me? [00:12:04] and I think it's really, I think it's, it's, it's great that it hasn't killed this one. and I also would have been surprised if it actually did because you know, Vayner name, they don't, they don't take it lightly when they put it out there. [00:12:16] As you said, You know, I think it's, it's interesting to think about how they think it's all part of the the whole, and you know, one bad project is going to you know, make it a lot harder for them to continue going. They've been in this space, you know, for a long time. You know, at least as, as long as you can be in it it's not like some of these other names that are coming in getting involved and then launching a project, you know, within AIJ has been in the space, you know, has definitely been around and with both Gary and Vonda own, in the space. [00:12:49] So, you know, that makes me more positive in thinking that they're to continue on this project. I also think that there's a very. A very strong likelihood that a lot more young athletes begin to get into NFTs and Vayner sports has a big leg up on the competition. When it comes to getting involved with getting those, athletes, athletes involved with them, they are already here. [00:13:13] They're web three native, and I look at that and look at this as one of the leading brands. [00:13:20] Yeah. just to make this even more complicated in addition to the card type which has escalating at that peak looking at diamond, in addition to [00:13:29] that it looks like there. are icons on them about each one, has like a couple of icons and [00:13:35] each one is associated with things like e-sports golf, football, So. [00:13:41] do actually have. Value to that. Are there, are there, are there like that's, I didn't believe that there were, there was anything to [00:13:49] those, but I wouldn't [00:13:50] This one has a baseball ache. Just one. So some have one. Okay. [00:13:57] Yeah, I don't know exactly if there is something to, you know, if there's actually a valued, tied to what is shown on the card or not. You know, so it may be worth looking into a little bit more. I haven't found anything about that at this point, if you do find something or we find something we'll of course discuss that in the discord. [00:14:16] So hop in there. If you are looking to get into this one, and hopefully we have discovered a little bit more, we can share [00:14:21] there. [00:14:22] Yeah it's, it's worth looking at. And I, And I like the why now, And also getting back, you know, to what we're gonna be talking of main utilities and new moon birds, watch this smooth transition. I think when you have a project like moon, birds come in and literally move the entire market. and when I say move the market like crypto slam for the past seven, Shows a hundred percent increase. and guess what? 375 million of that came from moon The next highest is, mutiny at 68 9, which all these numbers are absurd. So when I see that, oh, I, you know, I know I'm frustrated about missing the boat few weeks, which is. actually a lot, I'm missing a boat on, on moon birds, but the opportunity is that. [00:15:09] These other projects some of these like high value, you, [00:15:12] know, projects are out there and have an opportunity kind of some value. Right. And that's what we're, we're trying to do here. Find something affordable and all right, Andrew, let's talk about, and FTS. We just talked about members. [00:15:29] They showed the value of utility NFTs. Can you just explain, like we're throwing around utility? What the heck the actually get if you have like a moon bird, what is, how has utility. defined. [00:15:41] I mean, that's a good question for me. What the utility of the moon bird is. It seems to me that the proof pass was more of the utility They created this moon bird collection approved pass gives you, gave you access to mint, one of the moon birds. You know, I guess, how would you ex how do you think, do you consider the moon bird project, a utility still? [00:16:02] Or do you, or, or is that just a PFP project? [00:16:07] it is definitely utility And that you get access to a certain type of discord. Right? I know that you're going to be able to hang out in discord room. Kevin Rose. Cool. you're going to probably be surrounded by a lot of whales and people. Influential or at an absurd amount of money, for these things. [00:16:25] And I believe that there's going to be continued utility. They talk about what is it like towers or elements that they're going to be developing. And the way that I see the utility is like yeah, you get access to this discord. Yeah. future drops as people tripping over themselves. [00:16:40] You know, do the next partnership and drop and you'll get [00:16:44] to two of them. And, you know, you'll probably have like an art blocks effect where, you know, it'll have the sort of shiny gloss of something exciting. And then the other part of it is you're kind that this is going to be the next Hugo labs because of hype and potential of a at this point. Like for that much money, you're like essentially a [00:17:05] seed investor in a company. that's kind of guess what I'm looking at. When I looked at the utility there and I was like at play ball. [00:17:16] Yeah. think we're we're sort of getting started with, with these utility NFTs. You know, we've talked about Vayner sports, you know, that's at a pretty low price, you know, I think there's not, we haven't seen what that is seeing up. [00:17:30] Quantum art the Photography platform by Justin Arsano. They've released a quantum pass recently. I see that six or seven eat now. And access to future drops. We seen some others pool suite is one they've been operating as kind of a, I don't know what you'd call them, but an agency of sorts doing pool sweet they've recently done a NFT project, That again, is going to give access to things. I think we're going to see a lot more of these especially with I don't mention this before, but when people start looking at the, the amount that was raised by moon birds, so quickly 78 million, and have, you know, have. The credibility of people like Kevin that are looking at that and starting to make plans right now. So I don't think that I don't think they we're even close to seeing utility in FTS peak yet. I think we're, we've an immense demand. And I think everyone's trying to maybe spin their project, the mold of a utility and Ft. [00:18:41] Now, you know, it's going to be, I think we need. To start thinking about, you know, how to actually at what a utility, what utility really means to an NFT, because it's going to be a term that every project uses now. [00:18:57] Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, they were using it before, but this is just to look at this. It blew away. Even my high-end expectation of like price tracking and what I thought would actually happen when a bunch of frankly, random you know, two things that they had bought and it just, it was incredible. [00:19:19] And so I, I also agree, I don't think utility utility is peaked, but I thought it'd make a good subject title. So I toss it in the top. And the reason ties into, I think you're selling in part belonging, tied to financial website, and both of, those things are quite powerful in and of themselves. [00:19:38] But what I mean by belonging is the same. Dynamics that happen on Sunday in a church, in your neighborhood where people show up into the same room in the same way and say the same with the ability to feel like you [00:19:53] belong to a group is in large part. What I think I see the value of a utility when you talk it about [00:20:02] as like, all right, we have access to this discord. [00:20:04] Oh, I'm going to be able to socially identify as this, you know, group of people. Capture some part of my identity and you know, there's very much value in that utility There's a reason why people signal with, [00:20:18] you know, $60,000 Rolex watches, because they want [00:20:21] to show off that they have been club. [00:20:25] I am successful because I have this thing, so that's not going away. So it's not peaked. It's very much endemic to [00:20:30] our [00:20:31] Yeah. So I had argued that that part The value for the sake of having it be high value. Isn't that more of a PFP sort of aspect to a, a, collection than a utility. And if key, I mean I don't know nobody who, people, at least weren't calling board apes and, utility and Ft. [00:20:52] Although they've proven to be that if you've held the I've given away all these things, but, you know, initially it was more like, well, you're around these other people that want to hold this thing that is absurdly you know, I think in that regard, but you can always say that as long as private discord and it's a high for praise there's, you know, It's a there is some. [00:21:14] Utility to it and that It's keeping out people that can't afford that if that is not saying that that is what you're you know, I'd say, I'd say that these, the moon birds is certainly prompt. You know, they're already talking about adding more to this. dates And and have to do this, at the time. [00:21:28] And I don't think that it would have meant much to people to say, to promise all these things, you know, nobody knew that that were going to hold any value. Now people have seen that play. kind of explicitly saying we're going to continue to build they've even they've hinted at tokens. all out there. So I think there's a, it's much more known that these are going to not just be a highly valued collection or not. And I can't say collection. It's not just seeing it's a highly valued collection. It's also that they will. [00:21:58] Give holders more value or at least more assets, you they'll have to prove. But they're going to give them more assets. They're going to continue to build. And they're going to put, put effort into this, that a lot of projects maybe have promised and have yet to deliver on. [00:22:14] So your original interesting and I can take the extreme that a position that all PFP projects and all NFTs have a promise of. I could put them on a utility spectrum. Right. I bought a one-on-one piece of art and the utility I get is it's beautiful. I like looking at it you can say, I get access to a discord. I have, you know, an extra that I can own and I can, I have all of the rights to so I can put it on a t-shirt And a mug. So I think the, question is what is the versus what is the actual utility you get? you know, You're seeing now it's more about execution and trust. I'd say there's no longer a, a new clever, like, and by the way, in our roadmap, we're going to have sparkles. [00:23:05] I think the, the magic of the are kind of fading away. And coming back to what happens here is it is trust in the founders. And you know, he's built up this community of people that listen to his podcast. that like this is, you know, the guy [00:23:19] behind dig knows how to build things. [00:23:21] And then, you know, the, that vision, you know, getting behind that vision and believing it is, is you, you're just acting like a seed investor. More so baked, into there somewhere. five spot. There's a new competitor, right? Like this time you, the labs didn't freaking exist. Like hold that in your mind for a second, And punks were like dominant. [00:23:45] Leave. They were out at this point, but it was right. they were just in their infancy. Believe it was around. [00:23:52] I could be [00:23:53] Let's look it up. I'm kind of saying they hadn't launched yet and you're saying they have, okay. See, 30th is the first [00:24:14] day I saw. [00:24:16] All right. So about a year [00:24:17] ago, [00:24:18] I'm a mirror almost on the universe. Like when this comes out, this will be so, so about that for a second, right? Like time, suddenly this like massive company [00:24:26] starts you know, it didn't take off until a couple [00:24:29] months after the project, then you have something like a Zuki, which launched like massively in, [00:24:35] I think you know, Q3, whatever it was. [00:24:37] Have to get the [00:24:39] memory of a [00:24:39] Right. I mean, I think we've seen a lot. I mean, I think even going back further unit. Two a year ago This is in 2021. It, you could even look at it. If, if you want the market was there was nothing going on And it would, it's amazing to think then you the labs launched their project. And it people into it. [00:25:00] We saw art blocks going it was kind of leading up to that. It wasn't until the summer that it really went crazy, that has certainly died down, but then started really noticing the UGA labs success or bird ape success. And I, you know, I think it spurred a lot of. Copycat projects you know, just some other animal project that you know, we're promising the same things and people have, over time kind of maybe realize that it's not a matter of just a ton of different projects of the same of the same ilk. you know, you need different projects. And I think that's what we're seeing here with, You know, with proofs and with with moon birds, even with the quantum different projects lead of categories and. become the project to to, to sort of dominate that category. [00:25:50] And we don't necessarily, we're not going to see said we're not going to see maybe, you know, a hundred different projects that are successful with that same model. You'll see a few different ones, but they're going to need this. have something different to them. And I don't just mean the animal that they're using. [00:26:03] You know, I think we've, we're seeing, we're seeing board aid to be very successful, what they do. You know, obviously you see move birds right young project. We don't know, you know, I don't want to, you know, I don't want to say. Overstate what they done at this point. You know, I think that come back down to a a level below that 38th floor and still be as quite successful. [00:26:25] But, you know, it's hard to say the long long-term success, but I, I think it is, you know, it's interesting to think, you know, as, you know, getting back to what you were saying, like how we've seen different projects, take the lead and. Yeah, I guess, you know, another one is at a Zuki and seeing more of the sort of into this. [00:26:40] I think that was a big entrance and we do see a few projects, but it's not like it's completely shifts the market. And I think we're starting to see that a bit that the best projects from these different, continuing to [00:26:50] shine through. [00:26:52] Yeah, another one I was going to call out was artifact And when they, when they dropped but it's like it's like every three months. it seems like, there is just this sort of like, [00:27:02] Huge [00:27:03] setting, [00:27:03] launch. What I'm also noticing is different than board apes, which frankly sat at a 0.5 E floor for like a months. is that these newer ones, right? the ones I just went through, like every three months, we're getting these new big. There they're up. into the right almost day one. you have to take really uncomfortable levels of risks to get in on these, on these hype cycles. Right? Like we looked [00:27:33] at artifact and we talked about it as affordable project. [00:27:35] We were like, oh, Nope, sorry, psych your [00:27:37] mind. and like Zuki went from zero to 60 immediately [00:27:40] within a matter of like days and hours, not months. So like, clearly we just talked about what happened with boomers. So these new large [00:27:47] projects. In my mind [00:27:49] prior was this idea that like, oh, there's like very treasure around. [00:27:52] One of [00:27:53] these is going to take off. And that the truth seems to be more like there's going to be something that is absurdly hype that comes up. And the question on something [00:28:04] So massive size bet. I would say we have to start thinking about this a little bit more. They are it's big bets. They are big sized bets. But I think what is interesting to notice, these are some of the most hight and they're succeeding. So you know, in, in the sense of the risks, Reward as risky as risky in the terms of it's going to go to down, you know, at least if you can get in at the very early part, you know, now at 30th, obviously I think that can that can go down 50%. Pretty easily, you know, at, at that 80th floor, when you see the volume that had, it's a you know, in you know, I'm thinking about that And that's not, it it's, it's hard to think that it D volume was Oakland to all of a sudden disappear to the point that the floor would printed 80 is a lot of ease to get into that part is challenging. You know, it it's but I am starting to see that the big projects, it's not exactly these, these diamonds in the rough they are, well-known, everybody's talking about them. And if you can get into them, even, you know, at the, the inflated floor, the initial floor price of them, they've been. [00:29:20] Extremely good investments. And especially compared to kind of trying to find the, the follow on projects that, that launch hopes of, you know getting some of the, you know, getting some of the success of those bigger name projects. [00:29:39] Yeah, I, I, guess, you know, kinda, still, I'm still like frustrated by like the fact that like, even if you see the next one coming, the, the level of risk you have to be in it is like pretty darn high. and you know, I think coming back to like, what we're doing here are the look at things like. [00:29:57] I'm not giving up on that I think there's a lot of fun to looking at, you know, pieces that won't make the top 10 and that's fine, but you, know, things that, by the way, still can like provide value and like give access still very much part of this Coinbase [00:30:14] bringing in the NFT market. And I'm hoping that brings more life to the middle market. Because look, we're, we're dealing in a market and we're like suddenly looking at [00:30:23] Lamborghinis and we're like, we don't drive fricking things. Like I drive a, you know, a cheap, a cheap plugin. I want to that's fuel efficient. it's just, it seems like we're being asked to look at markets that outside of our size range. In general, [00:30:39] you know, if you, if you talk about [00:30:40] what's. Appealing to you know, it's just a disturbing show of money being thrown around at a I'm still doing it. I'll still look for affordable projects. They're out [00:30:54] there. [00:30:55] Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, I think there's affordable projects. It's I, I'm, I'm more wary of, of, of thinking that the market will follow a leading project rather than just that leading project becoming the sort of category filler. And then moving to sort of, what's going to be the next innovative project that that does something different to define. [00:31:17] A project rather than just a lead or follow along with the trend. [00:31:24] Yeah. Well, I mean, what's interesting is that every quarter Massive run-up because one, the Capitol is going to look for another place go with it and throw, throw around. [00:31:34] And there are so many talented founders, leaders, developers, companies that have not [00:31:40] even touched this space yet. And you know, they're coming and there's going to be [00:31:45] opportunities in there. And know, that. that, that is exciting. So I'll, I'll get over my I'll get over my phone. [00:31:52] Eventually and look at, look to project, but man, I don't know, Maybe next time [00:31:58] I, when I, have that high conviction, just, you know, it up and just say like, all right, should I do this? and maybe I'll just trick you into splitting it with me. [00:32:09] All right. Yeah, we've got, I mean, it isn't, these are great wins. If you do win [00:32:12] the the raffles and those [00:32:13] course, I did respect that they did the raffle. that was very [00:32:17] they did, gas. And obviously there were some big winners there. So, you know, I'm a happy for the people that were able to spend the two and a half Yves and now are sitting on a 30 each asset. [00:32:25] So that is that you know, that. Didn't have a lot going into that. We're able now, Ooh, that's a big, that's a big win. So hopefully there are a lot of people that really appreciate that and you know, whether they take it or not you know, that's you know, that's a tough choice, but [00:32:42] yeah. [00:32:43] Good one to have, [00:32:44] Yeah, I had one more note just to call out here is that I get I'm always concerned about the speed and time with which something runs up as and time it takes to run down things that burn fast burn out. so there's, of this coin for sure. And those founders know it though. [00:33:02] I know is very, very savvy in terms of building tech tools And user engagement. As you know, as far as dig your window to execute is, is very [00:33:12] narrow, I would say. And [00:33:14] also the risk of saying like, you know, it took, you know, three, it took one week to get like 36 ease. Okay. I'm much more comfortable if that's like it took three years to get to this point. [00:33:25] Like that's a, sturdier base with people that have been sort of like holding in a competency And tested. You know, the board ape apes and moon birds right now is, is really not a fair at all. But those prices, I imagine, like their minds, they're like, oh yeah, this is like going to be a blue chip stock. Oh yeah. Bloomberg's is blue chip now. And you're like, because prince. [00:33:48] Yeah, I'm sure there are already people putting that in there. And I think price is a dangerous indicator of it being or dangerous sole indicator of something being blue chip. You know, there is a, there is definitely a concern that it. could come down relatively quick. We have seen it in the in the past, not saying it's going to happen. [00:34:06] And I think that. Nesting slash staking mechanism will help some with with a sudden flood of, of listings. You know, that being said, you know, things, things can change in in very quickly and, and FTS. [00:34:25] All right. That's what we got. Hopefully that was helpful. In summary, utility NFTs have not peaked. All utilities have NFD. All, all utilities have NFT, you know, NFTs have utility. [00:34:37] One of those is maybe true, possibly true, but one, well, we'll let you think about it.

We'd love to hear from you. Um, but yeah, let's just get right into the show notes for today.Uh, so without further ado, I would like to welcome AIJ and David to Mooner bust. How are you both doing today? Thanks for having me. Yup. Good to meet you. Yeah, pleasure is all ours. So let's just dive right into it. Um, David, you are the, the founder of the crypto project, chin tie, uh, and Asia you're coming from the investment side from Kymera wealth, uh, could starting with David, could you walk us through, you know, your background in crypto, how you found yourself, where you are.Yeah. I mean, my background, uh, maybe isn't that uncommon, but it's certainly different from probably a lot of people who are in the crypto space right now. Um, particularly this current generation just coming in. I, uh, found my way in via a 20 year career in financial services, working for banks and asset managers.And so I got to live through the 2008, nine financial crisis. Uh, from St seeing it from the very inside and, uh, and really got a sense of just how flawed the existing system was, um, that it really wasn't working for us generally. Um, and that, that led me to start looking in 20 15, 16 onwards to wards, uh, disruptive technologies that I could use allies to help, uh, improve prove the financial system in petite.Um, so that, that led me down that first, uh, crypto rabbit hole. You know, I started looking at Ethereum, uh, beyond Bitcoin and getting a sense of what was possible with small contracts and, and beyond. Um, but, but really then, uh, that's what led us to, uh, creating Gentiles, which is a digital asset platform for dynamic forms of issuance and market creation.And, and, uh, yeah, I mean, th the whole growth of the DFI sector over the last three years is a phenomenal, uh, illustration. I think of that potential. Awesome. An agent. Yeah. So I am a managing partner and chief investment officer of a registered investment advisory firm here in the United States. We're talking about my crypto expertise.Well, I dabbled, you know, right when it became a bit popular in 2017, uh, not gotten to extensively until actually I was introduced to David and what their project is over I and tie. Uh, that's where not only for my own. Personal portfolio, but also as a firm, we've started to do well a bit more into the space, especially with clients nowadays on both sides of the spectrum, whether you have the younger generation or those who are nearing retirement, really just looking to diversify their assets and portfolios through different areas.So, um, yeah, that's pretty much where my exposure came into this. Awesome mate, Jay, we're really happy to have both of you on here today. It's great to see both sides, uh, you know, both the builders and the investors. Uh, so we're going to get right into it. So, David, could you tell us what chin tie is from a very high.Yeah. From, from a very high level. Um, we actually started out, I guess, in the defy space before he got called defy, um, back in, in 2017, we decided we were going to build out a full on chain, uh, order management system and an exchange, and actually try a new concept, which was trading of the utility of. Um, in this case, we started off with network capacity and, and it was a great initial use case, although it didn't last that long.Um, but really once we actually spent all that time building that out, we started to realize the sheer amount of time and effort we'd spent issuing our own network, token, the checks. Um, uh, we, we did that post, the kind of ICO, boom, if you all recall back in 2017, and it was just around the time that the governments were starting to crack down on some of the scans that had had erupted throughout that period.And we're starting to make noises like this is actually a security and things, and that really scared off a business and the promise of mass adoption for a couple of years, um, during that period. But nonetheless, we. Did a full issuance of the checks token, uh, during that period. And we built an exchange and we realized the entire process of doing that was incredibly complex, um, and very, very challenging for anybody else who really wanted to follow in our footsteps.So it really, the moment you looked at every other project, though, they had a need by and large to issue some sort of. To deploy on a, on a secondary market and, uh, and have liquidity with it. And so that was the fundamental foundation, uh, underlying Gentile as a platform, which was to say we were going to provide a solution that would enable dynamic forms of issue and spit utility tokens, and NFTs write down.Um, securities real estate. Um, so, so we've pursued licensing out of Singapore to ensure that we'll be able to, uh, do that type of thing with a fully compliant, uh, framework as well. And, uh, and that that's a fundamental differentiator too, between what we're doing at anything else in, in that everything is operating, um, on a compliance control framework so that, uh, whenever you've got an asset that's, that's red needs to be red compliant and, and handle that way.It can have rules in place. Uh, while still interfacing, uh, long-term potentially with the defy system too. So we kind of, uh, tend to tend to describe it to two outsiders as we're building the regulatory bridge between traditional finance and defy, and we're going to enable that mass adoption curve. And so it's a, it's an exciting time because the networks, uh, about to launch next next month.And, uh, yeah, so we're delighted to have, uh, Comera wealth on board with us. Awesome. So AIG, I know Kymera wealth has a background in real estate. Could you tell me specifically what interested you in the chin type? Yeah. So before I forget, um, and we're, we're going to get into this later on. Uh, I do need to disclose that, uh, Kymera wealth, as well as myself and the partners do have an investment in shin, Thai, uh, as backers.So, uh, yeah, just have to disclose that out there. But yeah, what really interested us is, as I mentioned, we're coming from the traditional financial space, right? There's kind of two aspects. One of those is acting as a fiduciary for our clients, really trying to develop a portfolio that's in their best interests.And as we're getting into this even more complex economic environment, we're having to diversify our investments, not just from the traditional stocks, bonds mutual funds, right. But also in different. Classes. And that's where the digital asset space is growing, not just in popularity, but acting as a very beneficial, uh, diversification tool, regardless of if you believe.Bitcoin or what have you and the fundamentals of it. It is acting as a diversifier for client portfolios, and I'm not talking about going 100%. Right. Uh, you can do something as small as one or five. And then so yeah, I come here a wealth, not all the way we're doing that aspect. And that's really what attracted us to, uh, what the team that shouldn't ties really do.Providing that platform, but also the compliance and regulatory aspect. Uh, as I just mentioned earlier, right? I have to disclose that well, we're investors in shin Tai. And so our area is very heavily, regular. Especially following the global financial prices and it's for good things, it's for the protection of the investors.And so that's really what attracted us is. We're seeing a lot of these projects out there and the digital asset and the crypto space, you know, initial issuance and such, but nothing really. That's kind of providing that regulatory or compliance framework and all that. David of course, top more in depth. I don't want to steal any thunder from him, but.Uh, that's one component. And then the other side is yes. What we're working on on a private funding side. I can't give too much information, uh, but we do have some expertise in the real estate as well. Some of the venture capital area. So really partnering machine tie on providing that, uh, through this new asset class digital assets versus doing the traditional route of either bringing up a venture capital firm and only being able to.Give that exposure to accredited investors and more towards the retail investor, right. The general population. And again, everything we want to do is in a compliant regulatory mindset. So having project like shin type to partner with is just perfect for us. Aja. I'm curious to know, did you receive any pushback from your big investors, uh, for moving into the crypto space where any of them kind of spooked by it?Uh, and if so, how did you handle that? How did you explain it and did they come up. Yeah. So right now we haven't really gotten much pushback. Uh, I will say there are some clients that we have that, uh, it is a new space to them and really what we try to do. And this is an all aspects of how we deal with clients is really focused on the educational aspect.Right. What I've found is most. Portion is just the financial literacy, whether you're talking about crypto or anything, stocks, bonds, and it's really our job to educate our clients that, Hey, this is a digital assets, uh, that we're really looking into, whether it's Bitcoin, Ethereum, a platform like shin tie or something that we're trying to privately issue.Once you educate the client from my experience, it's a lot easier to get them to jump on board versus just saying, Hey, there's this hot trending? Token that's out there. I want to invest 10%. Right. Um, so that's really where we focus and we don't really typically get much pushback once we educate those clients on just informing them.It's great to hear. So, David, my next question is for you, which blockchain does chin use and what does your multi chain architecture look like? Ooh, what a technical question. I mean, before that, I have to say again, I'm somewhat sheltered and being, pushing your clients into.No, I wouldn't do that. No, no. I would say that might be wise from a long-term hold perspective, but who knows? So yeah, the underlying protocol. Um, so, um, one of the other lead investors in the round for us was Dijuan. The role team known for launching the ESI protocol. Um, however, um, we, we select start because it's highly scalable and configurable.Um, and although it's had a bit of an interesting, uh, I think period over the last two and a half years, uh, since the original, uh, wider public blockchain was launched, uh, it's actually been very well maintained during that period. And it's is, I think there's some encouraging signs in that wider ecosystem, but.What I generally look at now is what is the underlying linkage potential to multiple other protocols? And that's just a general demand. That's coming from all clients that we were talking to you. Now, they want to be able to have that flexibility to lest on the very best protocols and in the, in the best potential markets, or they want to be highly selective, maybe about what they do as well.So, as an example, if you were to spend all the time going through an issuing a security token and putting controls around the marketplace, Who's a participant and maybe you're putting in place mandatory KYC, AML anti-money laundering checks in there as well. And so on and so forth. Uh, you defeat the whole purpose.If you just decide you're going to go and list it on unit swap, for example, because at that moment you get the, the, the, one of the great aspects of defy, which is that it's decentralized in censorship resistant. But the problem with that too, is that at that point, frankly, you know, your securities could be going off and being used for money laundering or being sold.You know, a country where somebody maybe is blacklisted elsewhere out of the business environment, because. The links to terrorism or something. So from an issuer point of view, this is where the they're more interested in other compliance solutions too, and saying it will be great to have options to connect in.And so the good news there for us is that we've got a really strong partner. Um, the announcement will be going out soon. Which provides us conductivity full conductivity to about 30 different other blockchain protocols. And I think that's broadly the future that we're going to see, which reminds everybody.I think, of the whole, uh, you know, underlying protocols of the internet itself, which is no one really. What's some of the technical connectivity issues are, you know, w w we're talking right now across this, and I know it's very easy to get really passionate about some of the blockchain protocols, the layer one stuff, but actually they can intercommunicate increasingly well, and, and I think from an end user perspective, you can imagine log-ins, you're on the line of account.You see, you're asking. The fact that you might then go and choose to trade a sale on one exchange or another. And under the surface, it's actually transferring between those chains as part of that process really shouldn't matter to you. And that's broadly where we're moving towards, which is encouraging, I think.And it's a, it's, it's an exciting, uh, component we need to needed to collect a, we get over the line for achieving mass adoption. Yeah, I think that's a good take. Do you have any plans on integrating with Ethereum in the future? Uh, yes, we're, we're already able to connect to it. Um, so for example, uh, the checks token, uh, network token, uh, we had to be.Limited by the initial listings. Uh, we are about to push a hat with listings or a number of, uh, Ethereum based, uh, exchanges. And, uh, and it's such a rich ecosystem that even though it has obviously some evident flaws, people talk about like the gas fee issue and so on. It's it's got an incredible number of talented developers in that pushing out some really innovative models, uh, related to everything from, you know, insurance to lending.And I think it's that type of innovation, which is fantastic for the wider financial system, because it really, it gives ideas to the, the wider financial system on what's possible. Uh, even if you know, it is subsequent stage, we find that some regulatory controls maybe start to creep in from governments or, or maybe not.Um, but, uh, yeah, I, I personally love what they've been doing over the last two years on the device space on, on the Ethereum. Totally me too, for sure. Uh, can you give us an overview of the process it takes to tokenize a real-world asset on the blockchain? Yeah, it's actually really easy. So, so from, from the perspective of actually tokenizing anything, it's a much over-hyped, uh, process in that it really is, is relatively straightforward.So within our platform, for example, now we were on a life, uh, call, call with a client the other day where they, they set up the. Got registered and have configured in and tokenized and issued an asset within about five minutes. And it was live on the chain to their exact parameters and they were able to then deploy a secondary market and commence, active trading with other people.Now that, that is all well and good, but the problem is if you're doing that with anything, that's actually like a, like a security, for example, with, with controls that need to be placed around that. This is where regulatory compliance and this other more complex side kicks in. And that's really where, um, I would say.90% of the value app really kicks in because tokenization is, is inherently going to be something that we all have, uh, disposed increasingly. I mean, if you think about it with NFTs, what that's shown us is with things like open seas, anybody can issue a token, right? I mean, you guys could have, have a Benzinga token, right, right now in a variety of different forms and you could issue it out pretty fast.Um, so the same really does apply here, but where it comes, uh, becomes really relevant. Ensuring that all the underlying controls and rules are put in place so that you can not only then say you've issued a security token, but that it actually combined and be handled in exactly the same way as the security.And that's how we eventually moved to all of the financial system going digital, going to tokens and, uh, and all the associated benefits we'll get from that. And how does holding custody of these real world assets work? Uh, yeah, it's it. Can sorry, go on. Finish your question in the custody of the real world assets that are tokenized on the platform?Uh, well, in, in the case of the regulatory ones, we've actually signed partnerships with several. Local and international, um, digital asset custodial solution providers. Um, again, there, there are announcements that are going to be going out very soon, um, on that side of things. However, when you get to things like utility tokens, um, we absolutely could be custodians as well.I think it then becomes something of a network security issue generally. Um, so why should use as necessarily have to trust and throw, throw the dice with every single thing athletes are up to or particular. Uh, asset, it kind of generally makes sense that particularly when the, um, doing anything that involves cross chain, that there, that utilizing a provider who maybe has got aspects like insurance, um, and is a established player who's in type business is looking after your people, digital assets securely.Now that doesn't mean that they couldn't still take control. You know, put them in their own wallet and maintain the key, but there are points in time where you are going to want to hand that off to somebody in a secure way and know that yes, it's moving around the underlying defy system here, but, but we're generally comfortable with it.So where we were definitely very focused on partnering with firms of that kind of quality to ensure that our users have the maximum. Yeah, that's great to hear. It seems like custody is becoming more and more popular, which maybe the earliest adopters of crypto didn't always like, or, you know, see the need for.But I think, you know, to get some sort of mass adoption events, Retail won't even realize they're interacting with blockchain and we'll all be taken care of for them. Uh, w which is, you know, it's good for some people in certain applications, especially when there's there's high value assets at stake. Uh, so speaking of those high value assets, can you tell us, uh, what, what is the main type of asset that, that Shantae is focused on tokenizing?Um, and how is it bringing this type of asset to a new audience or a new market? Yeah, well, actually it's, it's entirely being client driven. So as an example, comment or wealth, um, I think, uh, agent, maybe you could speak to this, but I know, you know, for example, Definite interest in, in the fractionalization and tokenization of real estate, because it fundamentally disrupts an asset class like that and adds liquidity to, to an illiquid asset class for the first time, which is not to be underestimated, what a big deal that could be, but there's a variety of other things possible.Um, and if you think about a firm like Kymera wealth, that's. Got back potential. It really, to some extent it's almost imagination is to, to is one of the core limits as well as what their client base might be. But I'm just broadly curious what you would say to that one in terms of what you think that the primary asset classes will be served for you over the next three years beyond real estate.Yeah. So I mean, one of the things we've been exploring is of course, real estate, so tokenizing that aspect, and it's not just the physical real estate work, just mentioning it it's conversation, but also the forms of. Right. So if you actually look at financial markets, the bond market is a massive market.Of course you can probably second me on this. It's it's bigger than what we have is this. So that's an area where also looking at Kymera as well. Um, whether it's into the mortgage real estate space or just in and of itself, just from my experience in my network, talking to other individuals as well, some of these businesses, uh, I think debt will probably be one option.Ty's biggest players. Um, I know one who's doing. And I think David, I introduced them to you. I can't recall, but they're really looking at doing like a Def con reconsolidation right. And seeing if they can have somehow tokenize that there's other areas too. I think it's very interesting how innovative some of these entrepreneurs are being in regards to another one I had project I had run into is looking at doing the like solar energy credits and how that could somehow be tokenized to help incentivize individuals.I Kymera wealth. I would say our biggest area is, as I mentioned, the real estate space, uh, that just seems to be where a lot of our clientele is kind of driving us and part of our network and in house as well as, as I mentioned, the loan space for the private debt dealing area. Yeah. And actually an interesting, uh, illustration of, of how difficult this is, is, is to predict is that I would have never predicted for example, that AF first go live market next month would be a carbon.So, you know, I thought all expands would be real estate or it's bound to be securities or, or just the standard utility token. But no, it's actually the global carbon market is forecast, for example, to be, um, up to $50 trillion by 2050. Um, because obviously the, the, the issue related to. Um, climate change and so on.And just the general challenges of the amount of carbon being dumped into the atmosphere is whether or not people fully agree with all of, all of that. And it's a relevant, because there's wider global consensus on the need to remove it, the statistical test written. So actually there's a huge potential that.The global carbon market is a great example of why blockchain technology will gradually pervade and, uh, move into lots of other sectors beyond what we've seen so far, because it's a corrupt sector and the carbon credit market can be faked. And you can end up with stale credits being Retraded elsewhere, which is a great way of kind of saying, no one really can control this properly.And it becomes somewhat meaningless. Uh, You know, your audience are gonna get it better than anybody, uh, that blockchain and be able to link some carbon directly removed and then burn those tokens. When they've actually been consumed, say by government to offset that that's a perfect use case for blockchain.And so. If we've got that as our launch market, who knows actually what some of the other, you know, really big use cases out there will actually be. Um, I think it's, that's the exciting thing about digital assets is that it extends to really, almost anything in any way that we, we exchange value. Um, and that's, that's where it's going to be a fascinating one for us to watch how this evolves over the next one.I want to touch on the tokenization of real estate a little bit more. How does tokenizing real estate benefit retail investors? So say one is providing greater access. Uh, so I had mentioned earlier, right? In regards to tokenizing, not just real estate, but other areas where it's only privy to, for, to give you an example, there's a.Particular investments, basically a non-traded REIT, a real estate investment trust. Typically you have to have certain requirements that the investor meets, whether they're an accredited investor, meaning they have like a $1 million net worth or earn 200,000 a year. For the past two years, there are certain income requirements that.So tokenizing some of these real estate's whole physical assets can provide greater access to retail investors versus, you know, other areas of the market where they weren't privy to. And that's, again, that's one of the reasons why, as I kind of hear our wealth is really interested in this area of.Providing greater access on all these different areas, not just real estate, but those private companies who maybe want to tokenize their equity in some sort of form or fashion to give it to the people. And you're seeing that trend grow right. We have crowdfunding and stuff like that. They're even online platforms that have been doing these kinds of deals, just in a different method.And so it's greater access for me that I would say is the biggest factor, David. I'm not sure what you would like to have. Uh, yeah, no, I think I broadly agree with everything you've said. I mean, really fundamentally to, um, tokenization of real estate. Uh, it doesn't have the potential to, to, uh, unlock access to an asset class that a huge proportion of the population right now, the, the, the younger adult population or affects will be priced out of.We can argue whether or not it's actually a good time to do that, given that we're at cyclical, highs on everything. But, uh, outside of that, it's fundamentally. One of the few asset classes that has literally solid backing in terms of asset backing behind it. So it's fundamentally undervalued right now because of the liquidity issues and the, and the lack of access, uh, for, for many, to be able to trade in and out of it.So for me, I just look at it as a way that, uh, people will be able to fundamentally change how they interact with real estate. They'll, there'll be. Utilize it and dip in and out of it in the same way we do it securities, um, over time. But also over time, I think it's going to disrupt how we have all the financing aspects of, of, uh, of, of real estate as well.You know, that they'll, they'll come a time when the concept of a mortgage may end up becoming obsolete as we know it now, because there's the tokenized. I mean, if you can imagine owning a house, and this is looking ahead in the future of the potential of it, if you can tokenize it in, in sort of say a mil, a fraction of, uh, And each token, therefore is linked to one Millington of the property.Well, the underlying market, um, would be able to effectively you, you could borrow those tokens off the market, in the form of leasing and pay the holders. The equivalent of view you, the way you pay the bank right now. And, uh, and over time you acquire through some special permissions, more and more of those tokens off the market to do eventually on the house.If you want in such scenario. Now that's the type of mechanism that could come into play eventually as an alternative way of actually funding out something as simple as, uh, over some of these fundamental as a house. So. Um, yeah, I think it's not to be underestimated the potential of all of this. And again, it's really going to come down to a combination of the, the innovators coming out with these types of concepts and trying to deploy them.And obviously the regulators and governments globally getting comfortable with such, such a design as well. AJ you mentioned, uh, that you suspect real estate bonds, and that may be one of Shanghai's biggest, you know, uh, platforms or applications in the future. Um, could one of you speak to, uh, you know, a little bit, little bit more detail on how this might work?Well, I can talk about the mechanics of it. That's for sure. I mean, I definitely agree with AJS point that bonds is probably the. Biggest potential market of all digital assets. I mean, like it or not, there is a hell of a lot of debts watching around the world. And, uh, it's also fairly fundamental for the way that we, uh, we actually conduct different forms of, of, uh, commerce generally.As well. Um, and it's actually very important. It's not always about a thing. So as an example, um, there are ways that if you, if you're a company, for example, you don't want to necessarily sell equity in your company, just because you need to access to investment capital, the idea that you could far more cheaply access and issue your own kind of corporate bond to, uh, to token holders, uh, backed by, you know, various fundamentals that you've provided related to cash flow and so on, and then pay them off over two or three.And access that farm in a way that currently most small companies are priced out of as is the type of thing that's possible. I mean, even some, just a single use case like that is a huge deal. And, uh, so I do think that broadly it's going to be a big one, but as to how it mechanically works well, it's programmatically, not that dissimilar to the underlying permissions you have with things like a security, it's just the.Whereas with a security, you might have things like voting rights and dividends and that type of permissioning built in and actions. Uh, with bonds, you just have bond blind ones instead. So you have coupon payments and you have the underlying dates related to them and you'll have certain default criteria.And what typically can happen, um, in, in a variety of other scenarios. They just get programmed in and then they get handled. Um, and of course, if it's a digital bond, well then you're logically also going to have to apply a different set of compliant compliance rules as well. So they'll have to be in coded and built around that to ensure that the, the market operates in it in a legitimate manner too.But, um, yeah, other than that, it really is just one of another multitude of new digital asset classes. I think we're going to see in the, in the coming two or three. Yeah. The point you make about kind of requiring reporting of, of, uh, financial data and, you know, kind of putting on chain, the risk that's associated with certain bonds, I think is really interesting.Um, I I'm by no means an expert in the real estate sector. But like, I know that that's one of the big things that led to the financial crisis of 2007, 2008, was that the, the, the debt ratings or like the risk ratings on these bonds, uh, were completely fraudulent. And, you know, synthetic bonds were created with, with just like never-ending leverage and, and an entire market was made out of basically thin air.Right. Um, so. I see the huge need for this, uh, product and the service that you guys are providing with, with the regulation as well. Um, so maybe we could touch a little bit on the regulatory, uh, you know, position we find ourselves in, uh, across the world than in the us specifically. Um, what type of measures are you guys, you know, proactively taking to avoid security issues in the future?Well, certainly speaking from perspective because compliance is one of the biggest areas we're focused on. Uh, it's kind of not a problem. Uh, how, however insane and restrictive a set of regulations may be passed by any given, uh, government gloves, but really there's still a set of rules that we can encode and feed into the rules engine, the compliance engine and enforce.For example, at the most extreme level, we can enforce China's current rules on crypto, which is a complete ban and just simply block them from any utilization because you put mandatory KYC around the regulated markets. Right? And so there's a degree of that. That's not to say obviously, breaches couldn't take place, but you can do that now.Um, it, it, it depends really in terms of how complex and difficult the system maintain on how frequently they change the underlying rules. Um, Typically regulators publish them out in a consultation period and make updates. And they don't tend to rock the boat and change rules too dramatically, too fast because they need time to see how they're going to play out.And in terms of whether the intent behind the rule is actually what ends up playing out or not. Um, and just generally the way most regulators operate globally is, is through a kind of consultation. Um, a process with the underlying industry that they're operating and regulating. So, um, the, the, the, um, uh, a jurisdiction like Singapore is, is very, very high quality.I would argue it's, it's comparable with London and New York as a financial center. And it's really, I think, set itself now as the premier, uh, APAC, uh, financial hub for me, which is why we selected it as our HQ. They've also got an, a regulator that's treading an interesting line between trying to ensure that everything's done the right way, but still trying not to stifle innovation and therefore pass rules that enable that too.So from that perspective, um, you know, I find regulators like that very easy to work with. We can encode their rules and give them guidance. And feedback and help shape that process. I think when you get to the U S it's a slightly different case because the U S is it's got a lot of conflicting different perspectives, and obviously it's kind of federal too.So it's got different states with different perspectives as well. Um, That makes it more challenging from, from an operational perspective, I think. And, uh, you know, I, I would hope that the U S will gradually get to a point where it has a cohesive set of rules that, that everybody can understand that if you're like a level playing field, even if it's not the absolute best.Um, because right now, I think it's generally very challenging for a lot of the digital asset firms in the U S to, uh, to be able to not just meet every role, but, but also be able to be as competitive as some who are based on. Totally. And we saw that the sec went after, you know, swap for supporting tokenized stocks earlier this year.Do you guys have any plans on tokenizing stocks as well? Or are you going to stay away from that? I mean, it's not on our roadmap right now. Um, but there is absolutely nothing to stop. Um, you know, an existing exchange for example, but may, maybe does do all that as part of its business, um, leveraging our platform to deploy out a digital version of.Now, in fact, we, we certainly could in theory, do that, I suppose. Uh, I don't get that excited by the idea of tokenizing stock generally, because it's already fairly liquid, it's accessible and relatively cheap. I mean, you just need to look at the size of the equities market. And the average retail investor is in an able to trade in it almost as they ought to be more easily than they are with, with crypto right now.So from that perspective, I think you have to ask the question, well, why generally have certain. Stop tokens appeared as a, as a concept or one is to kind of prove that you don't just have to tie something like a stable coin to the U S dollar. For example, you actually can tie it to something as dynamic as a security.Um, but broadly is one. I do think that there is ideologically a very big group in the, in the crypto area who are generally, um, determined to try and completely upend and replace the financial system from the inside out. And. They are awesome in, in many ways, in terms of what they're looking to do, that the challenge with something like that is that if you just go out and flagrantly, ignore the regulators and just say, we're going to do that.And we're going to have no controls in place. No KYC, no transaction monitoring, no anti money laundering controls. Eventually they, you know, you can imagine a scenario where they turn around and say, well, we've analyzed all this chain activity and we can see direct flows of capital going back to . Um, and that's where, you know, the, the DFI system won't do itself any favors.So it, you know, I think there's ideologically some issues here between, uh, the, the pragmatic side, like ourselves who want to actually, you know, enable controls and mass adoption through that, and then gradually helping influence and change the system and allowing that disruptive technology to kind of do that as well.And then there's another group that just generally want to stick two fingers up the entire system and just deploy everything out regardless. But, yeah, I mean, you only have to look at the likes of finance for the, they actually issued stock tokens as well, and had to pull them quite rapidly to see that, you know, even an exchange like that with, with a level of parent influence, it has, was unable to withstand pressure from growth global regulators.So I think. What we're seeing with that level of innovation and experimentation is more likely to end up being adopted and pushed out by the rest of the financial system with some appropriate controls around that. Yeah. I was certainly two camps as far as like strict centralization and strict de-centralization for a long time.Uh, and this market cycle, we've seen a whole bunch of products pop up. They kind of embrace both sides and find some middle ground, uh, you know, with an acceptable level of decentralization for the application. So they've uh, could you talk about how decentralized exactly shouldn't have. Yeah. And, and I think we're a very good example of exactly that kind of a thing that's coming out.So, um, on network launch, we've made a conscious decision to operate on a permission chain, which is effectively a private chain, uh, at this stage. And the reason we've done that is because there are a lot of benefits to launching a network and a project of this nature. With, with centralization. Um, so having gone from the inside, out of a network, a blockchain network launched the, went for the full decentralized option.The problem is that decision-making is extremely challenging in those environments. And, and I would argue. Uh, decentralized governance is probably one of the big unsolved challenges for crypto over the next five years. It's something that still hasn't been necessarily mastered. We're still trying different types of governance models.Um, but the intent certainly for, since I longer-term, that is to actually decentralize our bus network and chain and govern. Working with the underlying users and clients to find a model that works for everybody. So one example of that could be that all the largest, uh, clients become no validators on that.And gradually, and obviously, um, take part in that or that you can end up with a proposal system related to how upgrades to the network and enhancements are made. That that becomes a vote based system. I mean, these, these are things that we see you're already operating on on other kinds of downtime structures.But that's that's, you know, certainly the longer-term vision, there will be a de-centralization of the network, um, fundamentally over time, but it needs to be done in a way that also the regulators generally are happy with it as well. Um, so for them, they may want to say, well, if you're going to wish you and, and do all of these regulated products, we still need to have some central point where we can effectively say you're accountable.And therefore, you know, we know who we're talking to because one of the big problems with dowels in general, Yeah. People then resigned from the whistle positions and no one's clear who, who actually runs it. And people have a habit thinking that means they're no longer, there's no liability risk. But of course, what actually happens is that the regulators can just go after anybody.Who's a public figure for that network could be the, the validators. It could be the, the governance people, or it could be the developers. And as soon as they apply pressure at that level, you, you realize that actually decentralization as a concept. Quite malleable. And once, uh, once all authorities put a degree of pressure on you, you can see these things actually.I'm not, not proving to be quite as resistant as perhaps when we first thought, do you think that this level of regulation is bad for innovation or causes capital flight? Uh, yeah. I mean, I definitely think that, uh, the smartest thing that broadly governments could do with the defensive. Um, it's only cracked down on, on areas where they can see absolute flagrant examples, um, that are, that are having a negative impact.So an example of that, they cracked down on the ICO. Boom. Now it was innovative, but with zero controls in place, we saw massive. People being ripped off access scams. We saw wine, we needed some, some rules in place to, to keep it open and honest. So that's an example that where I think fine, but, uh, when you're getting experimental token models, uh, trying out a variety of different things and the, the pace of innovation, if anything is accelerating to me, it's, it's not healthy to try and impose rules on something.Moving that fast. It's actually more interesting and probably wiser generally to step back and let it evolve. For say another couple of years. And then one, as it looks to be starting to mature and maybe problems that are more clearly identified, then you can start to actually put in place controls. Um, I do think that generally, if you over-regulate, you end up stifling innovation and so.I, I very much hope that the more light touch approach generally with regards to digital asset rent regulation is something that regulators globally continue to push for. And I think in many cases they are, but, uh, you do get some who, for example, can't even do something as basic as differentiate between a utility token and a security token.And when we're not doing that fast, a good adoptive stifling innovation couldn't agree more. Ryan. I think you have the next question here. Oh yeah. So how does single-sided liquidity provision work? Because it's, double-sided on stuff like unit swap, right? You're providing two assets with single sided.You're just providing one, correct? That's absolutely correct. Yeah. Um, so it's been, uh, something of a holy grail for a long time and different types of groups that have come from. Approaches to try and remove this concept of impermanent loss. So for those not familiar, when you act as a liquidity provider on something like Eunice, SWAT, you inject liquidity on both sides of the pool.So it could be, you know, let's say Bitcoin on one side and the, the uni token that it's paired to on the other side. Now the problem with that is as inherently, whichever way the market moves. Whether it goes one way or the other, you, you then suffer something called in permanent loss and it's, um, it's something that only then gets realized when you take you up a seat back end of the market, but you can end up in that loser to quite substantial amounts, um, in terms of what you end up getting.Without going into specifics as to why. And therefore, the only way that, that, that, that is generally handled is by paying very high amounts of the liquidity providers, which actually makes liquidity provision more expensive than it needs to be. Um, if you look at ways around this one example is insurance whereby um, collective groups will provide a degree of, uh, that they will take the impermanent loss when realized, but they will, um, broadly give you coverage for a certain.So that you, you've got a degree of certainty, you'll get back what you are that you're, you're going to accept that there's an inherent cost to that as well. Um, that is okay. But actual one side of the Quincy is possible. If you actually create an underlying, uh, automated market-making algorithm that can happen.Um, I won't go to the specifics of it, but we patented a, um, a mathematical algorithm we developed in house on that front. Um, and it checks out and broadly what that means is it introduces two concepts or, um, impermanent loss still exists as a possibility for LPs, but so there's a concept called impermanent game.And you can therefore, as a liquidity provider, Choose whether or not you could lock in an impermanent game and actually realize a gain or simply a loss, uh, and they will, they will do so in response to market conditions and, uh, things like the underlying rates being provided well, PS, um, it's going to add some interesting dynamics to that, but what that fundamentally means from a, you know, the perspective of define, for example, is that provided we get full interfacing.With our regulatory markets to define the future as well, which is that the long-term goal you'd be able to onboard your, your. Collateral from somewhere else in the defy system, the same way we move it around right now, you build to then inject liquidity into just one side of the protocol and you build to get that amount back out again as well, but you'd be able to effectively, you know, um, access additional yields, but what they should do, uh, is also broadly, uh, reduce the fees that actually, uh, LPs need to be paid because they're not taking as much risk anymore.Interesting. So this, uh, impermanent gain, it does not come from the. No, it comes from the movements of the, of the, of the market in the same way as impermanent loss does. So, um, you've got a given exchange rate, let's say between, uh, Bitcoin and the checks like an athlete, and then checks appreciates by a certain amount versus Bitcoin.And at that point, when you, you, as the LP, Um, so, so you've gone on the, uh, on the check side, you suffer or you, you get you, uh, having permanent game. If you've gone on the Bitcoin side, you'd, you'd have some internet loss in that example without the balance. Um, but likewise, it, it provides you with a way of actually making a decision as to whether or not you think that that movement in the market is law short term.And you can effectively as a, an LP participate in the market by making those decisions yourself and saying, I'm going to. Uh, our exposure, um, as a liquidity provider here, because I think actually this is just a short-term spike. So we're locking the impermanent, uh, gain hit, and then we'll, we'll actually inject more liquidity back then when we feel it's reached a more balanced level again.So these are interesting dynamics or what it will require instead is for higher rates to be paid, to maintain the depth of the pool. Now, uh, we're going to be quite interested to see how some of these dynamics play out, but, um, broadly it's, it's definitely uncharted territory in terms of. Uh, this is going to walk right across the market.Yeah, most definitely. And I don't want to dwell on this for too long, but I know this is a complicated topic. So I'd like to show a quick example on unit swap. So this is an LP position that I have, it's represented by an NFT, and you can see as providing liquidity between the east and Manoj pair, uh, of which my Manor was drained as it took off against Eve.Uh, and so I may have made $300 from fees, but I definitely lost money and missing out on all of the gains that men have made in the media. Um, yeah. So that is the kind of impermanent loss that we're referring to here. Yeah. That's a good example of, uh, well that one's also partly opportunity costs. So. It could be just even if you ignored, um, something like staking rewards and the fee side of things.If, if you get a movement in that market and then took it back out, you might end up with less money than you put in, in that scenario, for example. And that's another side to impermanent loss. Um, that is yeah. Generally going to be, you know, an interesting one. I think it's quite a complex area that the average defy user generally struggles to fully understand.And, uh, that in itself is kind of unhelpful because what people really want is a degree of certainty. They want to know that I'm putting in I'm contributing, say liquidity services, and therefore I'm going to get reasonably well paid for it. And I have some high degree of certainty as to what I'm going to get paid for it.They don't really want to sit there and go might work out really well. It could be a complete disaster for me. That's never really a, you know, a helpful model. And that's, I think, again, it shows points to the innovation of defy, but also the continued innovation as we're stopping. Try out different, uh, configurations that could enhance that further.Most definitely. So, uh, one of the big arguments I see long-term for the success of crypto and tokenization is purely for the sake of capital efficiencies alone. So could you talk about how you're able to reduce overhead by over 50% through digital asset issuance? Yeah, I mean, this, this is, um, I think reasonably well understood by a lot of the, uh, the defy community, but maybe not.Um, as somebody who's a more casual crypto user, who's, who's just dabbling. The different token markets, they probably don't fully appreciate the efficiency gains that come from blockchain generally. Um, because they, they won't necessarily understand the existing structure of the, the, uh, the current financial system.So if you think about every different, um, asset manager and bank global, To varying degrees, they are going to be operating their own internal systems. They're going to have their own, uh, teams that, that carry out different forms of, uh, checks. And they're going to have to reconcile that with anybody that they, who was a counterparty that they tried with on the markets, or if they're going through a broker, they're still going to have to go through that same underlying process.So if you, if you think about what that sucks up in terms of time, energy jobs, resources, It's actually astronomical. I mean, we're talking hundreds of thousands, probably millions of white collar jobs, which are means people earning well over a hundred thousand dollars a year. And their job is to check data and to make up for the inefficiencies of the fact that we're all sitting around with lots of different computer systems, arguing over what the positions are on databases that can be corrupted and not reflect properly.Now, you know, a distributed database, I a block. That sits in the central event, on my process, dramatically lows, all of those costs and adds massive efficiency. So really, um, the best estimates are from the likes of Accenture, um, are that between 50 and 70% of the back office, which is the side that handle all of these reconciliation of positions and settlement can be completely removed out of the global financial system by, uh, embracing blockchain.So that is probably why we're also seeing some. Substantial, um, adoption, uh, and the interest in adoption amongst financial institutions, even though they're not participating with us yet in the don't defy side, they can see the underlying potential for them just to shoo this into their existing, um, structures in a, in a more efficient way.Yeah. And I can second that just coming from a financial services firm, right. We have to do audits third party audits. And the maternal or the partners, and I do the accounting. So having this kind of platform where it'll speed up the process, not only saved time and hours with what we prepare ourselves or an associate, but also just having a trusted, full blockchain in this scenario.Sorry, one thing I was thinking that there is an interesting, other perspective on this, which from a regulator perspective too, they don't really know what the hell is going on in the financial system. So they're relying on people sending them reports and, and, you know, data dumps of their positions. And then they sort of retroactively may analyze it, or may not.If you think about a blockchain though, where they have site permissioned access and can see. And it's the central golden source of truth throughout the trade life cycle for a given market. It gives them a very powerful position because they can get instant preemptive reporting. They can keep a very close eye on things and they don't need to go back.And I'll say AGA and Carnera wealth to send things through. They can just generate it themselves and look at it themselves too. And that I think is a fundamental change in how regulators are gonna be able to, um, interact in, in the system. So on a kind of related tangent, we see these automations in blockchain, these automations in AI machine learning self-driving cars self-driving or not self-driving, but you know, you see these checkout kiosks at McDonald's there's no longer like the people needed a and the greater trend towards automation.Uh, a lot of people think that this presents, uh, an issue. Um, but there's also the counter. That there may be metaverse jobs opening up to replace these. And I've heard people like Gary V say the potentially long-term, uh, there could be more jobs in the metaverse than in the real world. Do you guys see this as a possible outcome?What do you think? I mean, if time has shown us anything, I think when we have innovative technology, Right. It's really just coming down to adoption. Right? As we have things that are automating, that take a factories right now, we're training those who had those industrial jobs into other aspects of our society.Whether it's going to be metaverse is going to take place more than the physical that I don't know, maybe David, you can provide some clarity there, but I think in the long run it all, just come to where we adopt as a system. Yeah. I mean, my perspective on it broadly is that nothing that Facebook now called Matta, that what they presented was original, um, or hasn't already been largely put together in different forms by the VR community already, um, on a, on a variety of levels.So even the concept of LFTs, although are tokenization digital assets of existing. In gaming environments, um, with some quite high value secondary markets for a long time, as well, as well as skins and other things like that. Now, um, the, the, the question is how can it actually fundamentally disrupt how we, we engage with each other, particularly in a remote world, you know?Um, and, and I'm definitely bought into that idea. We could, you know, my team is, is located primarily in Germany and Singapore, and I'm on the east coast of the U S the idea that I can actually sit in a virtual office space with them for meetings, where we actually feel like we're, we're in the presence of one another and just engage in a much more, uh, dynamic way than we are right now with four squares on, on a, on a little screen staring at it.Um, that definitely appeals to me. And I think it will appeal to a lot of other. And probably the way therefore the will be able to interact, not just in business, but other forms of, uh, um, sports and other things too. It could feed into those two for sure. And certainly gaming is a given. Um, so I think that personally, therefore it will overtake the real world from a commerce perspective, undoubtedly, um, because you'll be able to do things more efficient.In that environment too, you won't be constrained by physics and other aspects of it. Um, and, and therefore, I think we will see a point where people prefer doing business in, in that metaverse concept. Um, but the real world is not going to lose its place. Right. I mean, we're, we're still gonna want to get out and walk on the beach and get fresh air and need to look out for our health and sunshine.And frankly, No, no, no. My back a few beers, virtual beer doesn't sound as good to me as real. So, you know, I think that you, people have to be realistic about this. There has to be, uh, you know, just like we say, there has to be work life balance that will have to be met a real real-world balance. I think, uh, in that, in that future too.And people will realize that it's not healthy to just sit there and one is in front of a screen all day. Um, but yeah, I, I think broadly it has the potential to fundamentally disrupt, um, You know, crypto itself will form the under arching backbone that enables the, of that to function. Certainly a crazy world and metaverse that we live in right now.Um, I know that we are getting close to running out of time. Uh, so I wanna thank you, both David and AIG for stopping by today. Um, but before we wrap it up, I'd just like to give you both the chance. If there's anything else you want to mention, let the people know where to connect with you, where to follow along with, with your respective, uh, projects.The floor is yours. Yeah, I'll go first and then I'll let you close. But, uh, yeah, if anyone wants to contact me, my email is aij@kymerawealthdotcomoryoucanvisitourwebsiteinmarijuana.com. All I would say is just as an investor perspective, right? Always conduct your due diligence. We were joking about me and coins and stuff like that.Um, from the perspective of a financial services, I definitely agree that we are getting to a point where, especially in the United States into a transitionary period, Crypto or digital assets will be massively adoptive. Uh, I don't know how that will look like. Um, luckily not one of those people that makes the rules, but I think we are getting into that position.So a platform like shin Tai, those firms like Conger wealth, um, and those individuals who are trying to be innovative to have.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to working capital the real estate podcast. I'm Jennifer galley and my special guest today is Brittany Arneson. Brittany is a full-time commercial real estate investor. And I think you just have to take one, look at horror at her Instagram page to really get a sense of what she does. Commercial real estate junkie, a DIY jaggy, retired power engineer, author, speaker, educator, and investor. Britney. How are you doing today? Brittany (47s): I'm really good. Glad to be here. Thanks for having me. My pleasure. Jesse (51s): So we talked a little bit before the show about past guests saying that you have to have Brittany on, you have to have Brittany on, I've been following you on Instagram, on your DIY projects for probably over a year now, maybe longer, really inspiring stuff. So thank you again for coming on. And I think it's going to be a treat today. Brittany (1m 9s): I appreciate it. Jesse (1m 11s): So Brittney, on the show pretty standard for us is to have guests come on, take a step back and talk a little bit about real estate in general and how they got into the industry and what their, you know, initial steps in the journey were. Brittany (1m 27s): Yeah, so I got started super young. I bought my first house at 18 years old and so I've been in real estate over 10 years now. And really I got started when I was even younger than that. Cause my mom owned rental properties and she would get my brother and I to help her out with renovations, but just kind of where you can see that DIY stuff filtering through my Instagram page, but got started with her. She would just, you know, hand me a paint brush and say, get to work kid, help me out. I can't pay people. So I want to just get, so that was fun. Learned a ton from her. And then I was always really motivated throughout high school and everything to buy my first house. So, but one in Saskatchewan, if anyone knows where that is talking to it, talking to a kid from Toronto. So yeah, totally. All my American friends are like, huh, what's the schedule. It's kind of like in the center of Canada where all those super cheap properties are and have family out in Saskatchewan and notice that the properties were quite cheap. So got the first house for $25,000 for the property and rents were around 850. So tenants pay all utilities, right? So I'm like, okay, super simple math. You don't need to know more details than that. That makes sense paid off in a few years. So, I mean, it's funny looking back because it was kind of one of those things you'd jump in without knowing a lot, which I think nowadays it is kind of difficult for people because it's information overload all the time. But if you keep it super simple and you don't know all, I didn't know anything, I never looked up anything online. I didn't listen to any podcasts or books or anything. I just kind of saw an example from my mom. So I'm like, this makes sense, like put money into something and it pays you. Okay, I'll try and do that. So, but not getting too wrapped up in all the details. So it's interesting looking back on that right Jesse (3m 19s): On. So your first property was the price of a now used Honda civic, roughly. Brittany (3m 25s): Exactly. Right. The cool thing is too. Like I could still buy properties out there. I kind of away from the single family world now, but there's still properties out there for that price. Yeah. Jesse (3m 37s): It's funny too. You see all these online, you know, the 1% rule, the 10, whatever gross multiplier, you're like, those properties don't exist and it's like, no, actually that one did that one pretty much worked out like that to have $800. Yeah, absolutely. So are you, are you, you I'm a us citizen or can, or do you have dual citizenship when you purchased it or Brittany (3m 59s): So, yeah, I'm from Canada. I was born just outside of Banff, Alberta, so super awesome mountain town. And that's kind of where a lot of people where you see the real estate market is just insane. Right? So when my parents moved there in the nineties, everything was dirt cheap. Like it's $40,000 for a house or something. And now it's probably worth over 2 million. It's just like absolutely ridiculous, but so grew up there. And once I started in real estate, I moved out to Saskatchewan and because that's where the cheap properties were and I had some family around there. So, you know, I just really wanted to be successful in real estate. And I'm like, how can I make this work? And if I'm just starting out, don't have a ton of money and all that sort of thing. So that's kind of where I went because Ken was ridiculously expensive. So got it. Yeah. Get out of that town. But now I have been living in the states last six months and just have a working visa right Jesse (4m 53s): On. So at 18, I mean, not everybody's thinking about buying properties and growing a portfolio. So you had the parents with the rentals kind of, you know, got the edge from there to where you are now. I've seen, you know, the, the DIY projects that you do. How did you jump into actually constructing and maybe part of that is that a, you are a retired power worker. So arranger, that's what Brandon said on the that's amazing. He would a power engineer, I should say. Yeah. So, so how did, like, what was that story like? Brittany (5m 29s): Yeah, so I really got into power engineering because it was a job that I could, I could get my certificate within six months and then get a really high income and I wanted the high income so I could buy real estate. So the end goal was always, I want to get that paycheck so I can buy real estate. But then I worked as a power engineer for six months, which was awesome. I learned a ton and I really liked the hands-on stuff. So it's fixing machinery and all this sort of thing, but working in it for six months, I just, I, for a fact, I already knew this beforehand, but I was like, this nine to five life is not for me. So I kinda got out of that as quick as I could and jumped into real estate. Full-time so use the advantage of having the W2 income. I always say the T4 or W2, whatever, but use that to get some lines of credits and mortgages and all that sort of thing. And then I'm like, well, I got to get out of this and do my own thing. So, and actually started during that job is when I kind of started my whole Instagram page and started to really get involved in the networking and creating that credibility for myself, for Jesse (6m 36s): Sure. And I mean, like, just for those that, that are living under a rock, haven't seen your page, I think it's your summit 215,000 followers on Instagram, just as an aside. What was that like just, you know, from you posting your first stuff. Cause I I'm, I'm almost positive. Maybe it was a year or two years, but I don't think you were at that level yet. So what, how did that kind of, how did that evolve that, you know, everything you started posting? Brittany (7m 2s): Yeah. Well, that's a good question because it is really hard when you first start out because it takes so much time to it's trial and error and it's a lot of consistency. It's hard because you can't really see the long-term benefits when you're first starting out. And you're like, this is just a lot of time and frustrating, right? Because it's not getting the engagement and you don't really know what to post super own. Sure. But for me it was just that trial and error. So I, when I first started, I actually had a mentor. I was at a real estate kind of meetup, super new. I think I had three properties at the time, but a mentor told me, you know, you have to do something as a new investor, you have to do something to create credibility for yourself. So he suggested, you know, starting a blog or a newsletter or an email list or something like that. And so that's what I did. I started a blog and I called it little investments on the Prairie's. So, cause I was buying these little property. That's pretty cute, but I'm not writing, isn't my strong suit. So I try to take me so long to write up these blogs and it wasn't really gaining a lot of traction. So I started, I didn't have Instagram beforehand, but I thought, you know, I really liked the photos and the videos and that sort of thing. I always kind of had that artistic kind of sense, I guess. So I started with Instagram and I named, I think I had that name for my Instagram as well, little investments on the Prairie. It was just super long. And I'm like, okay, I'm not getting anywhere with this. And then I saw a girl, her, her handles thought it was girl. And I'm like, how would invest a girl best to grow Brit? And that's where that kind of started. So it was a little, a little bit trial and error and figuring out what works. But I do suggest for people to have their, their first name or something to do with it because now when people type investor on Instagram might have wanted to come up. So I love having my first name, but also the word investor in there. Cause that's what I'm all about. So yeah. And, Jesse (8m 51s): And it's, I mean it is, is I think it's topical and it's important. You mentioned where the credibility pieces, because you just see so many people in our industry online, you know, you don't know what I can only imagine at this time, like I started investing, you know, the same, roughly the same age you were, I was 19 turning 20. And at that time you had magazines, you had like a few magazines, BiggerPockets was in its infancy and now there's so much information and you don't really know, you know, what to, what to really go to what's credible. So having that credibility building, whether it's an ebook or like, like you said, you started a page. I could totally see where you're coming from the blog. I feel like it's a lot of effort with potential, you know, not exactly a lot of, if there's not output from the blog, you'd be like, why am I doing all this? This is a lot of Brittany (9m 40s): Work. Totally, exactly. And what's good about Instagram is the stories too, where people can really get to know you as an individual and see that behind the scenes. So when I was renovating properties, it's not fun all the time, you know? So I try to show all the ups and downs and, and get in bed to, to invest in. Cause that's relatable. Cause it's the truth about it. It's not all fun all the time and highlight reels. It's actually, no, this is real life and this is hard. So I think, I think that's, that's a good way to go about it, to just be your authentic self and not trying to be any, you know, like show, tell people what your goals are, what you're trying to do and, and just grow your network that way. And people can really start to relate to you. Jesse (10m 22s): Yeah. And I think there is something about Karabakh Backman, who was, who was on the, the show last year. She does, you know, has DIY projects as well. I think there's something about just humans in general, when you see the before and afters, regardless of it's, you know, weight loss, or if it's a real estate fix and flips, there's something about that that were like, it's satisfying seeing that. So I think like you hit a perfect niche where, you know, you have a education, you have investments that you're doing, but you're also seeing a product and what it potentially could be Brittany (10m 52s): Totally. And it's, it's that transformation like any good movie or story or anything it's like, the character is not the same at the beginning as they are end, but you know, it's that real life situation and people are kind of looking for, for some somebody to connect to. And that's why we have our little drugs as real estate investors, I think, cause it's, it's difficult to stay motivated all the time when things aren't going always the right way or, or you want to be able to celebrate your wins with people. And yeah, I think it's a really good way to do it. Jesse (11m 20s): Yeah. I have a mentor of mine that he's always saying, you know, tell, you know, teach in stories and explain in stories and when you really grasp it, you're like, wow, it does, you know, when you hear somebody talking like that, you initially, you know, you're engaged because like you said, it's a journey. I don't know if it's, I think it's just a human tendency. So you start down this path of doing DIY projects, maybe for listeners, you could pull one of the, maybe not the first one, but a one in the past that you did, that was kind of your first foray into that world. And what were some of the challenges during that time? Brittany (11m 59s): Yeah. So lots of the renovation stuff was, and I would go out. So even during the power engineering job, I'd drive four hours out to a property and then stay there over the weekend, renovate it and then drive back home like four hours back. It was a lot, but it was, it was something that I just, you know, is that sacrifice you kind of honestly have to make if you're a new investor and you're just trying to get in the game. It's like, okay, do I have to, because a lot of people also get stuck in an expensive market. So I was looking outside of the market just to see, okay, what makes sense? This, this house cost $40,000 and it's going to bring in 1200 a month. So, you know, that's go for that. And it was kind of just always looking, not knowing exactly all the answers, but, but finding the ones where the numbers did make sense and then being able to, so it was kind of going and Burr was the main strategy at that time. I've moved more into the commercial real estate stuff now, but, but with the single families, it was all bird projects. So it was get in there, renovate them, build up that equity and then rent it out, pull out that money and then move it on into the next one. But a lot of these projects too, it was just, you know, how can I make this work? There's always rope, roadblocks and things problems happening. So it's okay. It can get a mortgage for this $40,000 property. But I asked a whole ton of banks and they said, we can't give you a mortgage for this. These are the reasons. But what I can do is give you a personal line of credit for $75,000. I think it was. So it was a $75,000 credit they gave me. And so I was able to purchase the property and get a renovation costs and then refinance after that. So it was, it was good. Like there's just, I feel there's always a way there's always a partner bank or someone else to talk to, to get the project moving forward. Yeah. Jesse (13m 39s): I think if, you know, even one of the deals we're doing right now, we're raising capital for, and you know, even when it's on the goal line, you've closed or sorry, your all the deal sort of the APS, the purchase and sale agreements finish, you have your closing date everything's should be smooth sailing. And then there's always something, oh, we have an encumbrance, oh, there's a lien. Oh, we just did title search. And I think it's as investors, you do that once, twice 20 times, you start just, you know, that one thing you can expect is that there's going to be something that comes up that you're going to have to handle. And if you can't do that, you're probably in the wrong industry Brittany (14m 12s): And it just gets easier over time. It's like those problems. Cause I think back to those days renovating the property and it was so frustrating, you know, learning how to do these renovations and all this stuff. And then all this pro tenant ruin this flooring or something like that. And then it's so, so overwhelming. And, and then, and then you look back at where we're at now and those problems are small, but you can't see it when you're in it. So I think that's just important for people to know if you're just starting out or you know it, and it's just new, new levels, new problems all the time. Professional problem solving problems. Yeah, exactly. Jesse (14m 49s): I was having this like joke or debate with a few of my buddies and we were talking about just, you know, what you would leave for your kids. And something came up, would you leave a property to your kid? And, and we were talking about smaller prop properties if you had a kid. And I was like, somebody brought up the idea of it being a gift. And I was like, honestly, you give a rental property with a bunch of headaches as a lesson to your kid. Not as a gift, Brittany (15m 14s): That's a good plan because Jesse (15m 15s): I was, I mean, it was the same for me at, at, you know, 19 20, 21, maybe a couple of years older where you're learning how to do things that you would otherwise not have had to do. What's a S what's a C trap. Why am I doing, why am I mudding? Like everything to do with actually fix, fixing up? Because the reality is if you buy single family houses in the beginning, you are doing things that you can outsource as much as you want at that point. You're, you're going to actively do things in the property. And it sounds like for you, you took it to the next level and you're actually doing the brewer strategy and like going in with the idea, I'm going to add value to this and refinance. Brittany (15m 52s): Exactly. Yeah. So how has, Jesse (15m 55s): How has your portfolio, or what you're doing now, you mentioned commercial real estate. How has that evolved over the years, Brittany? Brittany (16m 3s): Yeah. So got up to, you know, a few single family duplexes and then the last purchase was apartment building. So 27 doors now, and those are all in Canada. So those it's been great. It took a while to get the process of handing everything over to property management and getting bookkeepers. But I read a book called who not how, I don't know if you've heard of that one. Dan Sullivan. I think Dan Sullivan's author Benjamin Hardy. Yeah. So I love that book and that really changed my mindset along with some mindset coaching and stuff like that. So it's just kind of getting myself, cause I kind of did get stuck in this DIA DIY mentality. And I was like, I just love the work. I'm going to do this every day. But I was kind of just in my comfort zone, but I, I always had this in the back of my head. Like, no, I want to expand. I want to do more. I want to scale, but it's really hard to scale when you're and I was tying myself to the property cause I was building myself into this job of having to do renovations to the property completely. So I was living there. I was like sleeping on the floor and all the drywall dust. And I was like, okay, this isn't working for me anymore. It was awesome at the time I was so glad I got started in that and learned so many lessons, but it got to a point where it just, you know, I just had to make a mindset shift and I was reading who, how do mindset coaching and all this. And, and it wasn't what I wanted. I was telling myself that, but it wasn't actually truly what I wanted because the main goal in real estate was that time and location freedom. And I wasn't, I wasn't doing that for myself because I was just doing renovations all the time, every day. So I still like to do the DIY stuff and I love that kind of work. I love being hands-on, but that's more of a hobby now for me, rather than just my main real estate investing strategy. So, but it was really curved. Did Joe or good too, I guess. I don't know. It's kind of funny. It's like when you started real estate and then it was really difficult and then you get to a plateau like, oh, everything's easy. And then it's like, I don't want to scale. And then you could try to get to the next level. So that's kind of what I've been transitioning into, but it's been, it's been awesome. So yeah, Jesse (18m 9s): I, I think it's for people that have been successful too, it's like everybody, or nobody's immune to feeling comfortable. And even though your comfort in flipping houses, might've been way out of somebody else's comfort zone because they hadn't gotten to that level or maybe didn't want to, you know, that wasn't something they wanted to do, but then you get to that level and you continue to do it for a while. And then yeah, like you said, you get comfortable and you have mentors or coaches to constantly push you and be like, well, what do you really want to do? And I, I totally hear your point of, you know, we talk about freedom and not having a job. And then all of a sudden we're busy. We're the busiest person we know. Brittany (18m 45s): I think, I always think it'll always be that way because you get to this point for a reason because you are that way and you're like, let's go, that's progressing, moving forward and, and the trial, and then you just start to, you know, want to do more bigger projects, but you want to be able to have the choice of it. I think that's where it, Jesse (19m 4s): Yeah, it was just reminds me of the matrix, the illusion of choice. Yeah. So the 27 doors in the great white north tell, tell us about Brittany (19m 13s): Them. Yeah. So mostly in Saskatoon is kind of the main hub. So I have a few duplexes out there and then kind of just went all surrounding areas where the cashflow made sense because it was just in, and I always tell people this because people do get really stuck, especially Canadians, I think, cause they're such expensive markets like Toronto or Vancouver. And then you really have to kind of look into those other areas like Saskatchewan, cause there's lots of industry there there's, you know, tons of renters and not a ton of nice places to, to rent. So that was kinda my thought process behind that. It's like, okay, create this really nice rental in this smaller area, but it's, there's never a problem with vacancy and there's no appreciation, so that's the trade, right? Like there's a little bit through the forced appreciation with the renovations and then a little bit of, you know, passive appreciation as well with the market, but it's not a ton. So it's a different strategy between Vancouver and in Toronto and those types of areas, but then still it's solid cashflow. Yeah. Yeah. So I think that was kind of the thing. It was just kind of looking at these smaller centers, seeing where there is heavy industry, but a lot of the workers, like for example, the apartment building, that's 14 units, there's a ton of transient workers. So they're there for maybe a year or two and they don't want to buy a house because why would they buy a house if they're not going to be there forever? So they're kind of just not committed to buying a house, but they will pay top dollar for rent, like same as city prices, but you know, could buy the apartment building cost 450,000. So for units, and then, you know, now some of the bachelor units are getting, I think it's 850 rent for a bachelor unit. So yeah. But yeah, and then it takes care of all of it too. So now I'm just like, yeah, free. Jesse (21m 4s): It's so true though. Like the 450,000 and like, you know, you, you move into some markets and that's how much it is a unit. Like you go certain, especially smaller multi-family in Toronto. It's I tell people that come on the show that if they're from New York, they can kind of understand if they're from San Francisco, any of those really extremely hot markets, Vancouver and Toronto would be in that same category. I'm curious. So last time I was at west, it was no boarding out in Whistler, so I didn't get a chance to stop and, and in Saskatoon, but I'm curious out, out in Western Canada, are we starting to see more manufactured housing that, you know, everybody in the states that comes on my show has either something to say about manufactured housing or is that investing in it? Brittany (21m 49s): Hmm, no, I don't really do much of that now, especially right now I'm kind of focused actually more on the U S market. So I haven't really been that involved in actually dosing actually. Jesse (22m 1s): Yeah. Right on. So for yourself, I mean, just on that point, looking at investing in the states, what are, what are some of the opportunities you're looking at right now and what do you think, you know, we have in store in the next year or two, just in, in that regard and opportunities? Brittany (22m 17s): Yeah. Well I'm really, really excited right now because so through, you know, actually through social media and online and everything I got on bigger pockets podcast. And so that was a few years ago now, but I created some really awesome connections and, and really great friends. Some of my best friends, I met through bigger pockets and going to a Maui mastermind that Brandon Turner hosted. So he just kind of picked 20 people out of his fall or people that he was following on Instagram or whatever created this little mastermind group. And that's where I made some really amazing friends. And, you know, I have, I started to focus this year, just on my strengths. What am I really good at? And you know, my reach through Instagram and everything like that and partnering with these expert operators because ADA Osborne, which is where I'm at right now, I'm in Boise, Idaho working with AGA Osborne. And he's an incredible operator and industry leader in self storage. So they have, you know, over a million and a half square foot of storage right now and they're just rapidly expanding their portfolio. So I'm kind of on the acquisition side of it. It's, you know, reaching out to brokers and my Instagram audience and everything, looking for self storage facilities to either do value, add projects with or development site as well. We're working on a big development hero in Boise. So that's going to be started right away. And I'm just really excited about it. So being on a team, cause I was always, you know, focused on is working on like, oh, like kind of doing, I was like DIY everything, all, all of it. But now what I realized is what I enjoy doing. What I like doing is the collaboration and working with these incredible operators, they already have all their systems. They already have, you know, amazing network, like everything all sorted out. So what, what I'm doing is bringing investors into these projects and helping with acquisition side and everything too. So right now it's been like self storage, everything. So there's a ton of opportunity in that right now. What's cool too, about storage is that the fragmented market? So 72% of the self storage facilities are owned by mom and pops. So it's funny. Cause I was, I actually had a self storage facility, I think a year ago under contracting in Canada. But what I was doing is just kind of going around cold, calling a bunch of owners and just saying, you know, it's funny cause you call the number, doesn't it don't pick up. Like they don't pick up. And then once in a while they'll pick up like, hello, I'm like, oh hi, I'm looking to rent a storage unit. Oh yeah, let me just call you back. Sure. So that's not managed correctly. And then, you know, you make an offer and go from there. So that's, that's, what's pretty cool about self storage and you know, a recession recession resistant asset class as well because even through COVID, it's just performing super strong and there's a lot of people moving and there's a lot of people downsizing at this time. So storage is very needed during this time, but it's been one of the, you know, growing asset classes the last 20 years. And there's a lot of, lot of opportunity with that fragmented market if you're able to go in and really expertly turnaround the operations. So it's immediate value add with the existing facilities with through operations. Jesse (25m 33s): Yeah. We're seeing a lot of, a lot of self storage. Sorry, sorry to interrupt Brittany (25m 37s): There. Continue. Jesse (25m 39s): Yeah, no, I was just going to say we're, we've been seeing, I think it's everywhere. I think a self storage is one of those areas that there's just a lot of attention and I think you're absolutely right. It's there's just a large percentage of mismanagement, I think where there's operations, like you said that you can immediately add value. I'm pretty sure Aja is also speaking actually quick shout out to your speaking at BP con 2021 new Orleans. It is happening. I'm speaking as well. And I'm pretty sure AIG is as well. I think he's on some sort of panel maybe talking about self storage. So yeah. So there's that there? So as a, as a, I guess in this case, somebody that's investing from outside, cause you're on a visa. Is, is that any different in terms of how you invest? Do you ha are you creating a different structure for the investments when you go in with operating partners? Brittany (26m 34s): Yeah. So right now I'm on a working visa. So for me it's a little bit different and I still have a company in Canada, but I'm actually employed now by Cedar Creek wealth, which is a data company. So I'm employed through them and I'm able to make my positive investments. It gets a little bit complicated. Like the syndication side is easy. Cause you can invest quite easily as a Canadian. You just have to set up your holding company and then it kind of goes through that way. And then you save on taxes, but I'm not trying to give tax advice. So that's the disclaimer, but that's how people, so I have quite a few Canadians now as I was presenting these opportunities to my audience, like quite a few of them are Canadian. So it's just, it's, it's awesome because there is so much margin with returns, especially in storage. So I mean there's a lot of opportunity for investors as well and Canadians as well. Cause I mean, yeah, I guess people do, I'm like everybody can join Jesse (27m 36s): These, the self storage. Cause we've, I mean, we talked a lot on the show about, you know, different syndications, a limited partner, general partner type structures, the self storage are they, are they structuring them pretty much similar to other real estate investments where you, you have an operator, you have multiple limited partners or are you doing something different? Brittany (27m 57s): Yeah. That's pretty much how it's been so limited partnership. And then it's, it depends on the deal. So we do both right now, the development deal was structured a little bit differently, but then from the existing facilities, but yeah, it's a 60 40 split. And then we have a waterfall structure after the investors for this specific deal, it was after 120% return. And so the investors get their returns and then it splits the waterfall structure happens. So it's turns from a 60%, the LPs to 40% of LPs. And then yeah, Jesse (28m 34s): I have a, basically a preferred return built in and with each, each IRR or each percentage return, you have a different split for, for Brittany (28m 43s): Exactly. And we're getting into it cause so AAJ has not done a ton of syndications that he just recently started to cause they're rapidly growing their portfolio and have so much on the go. And there's so much opportunity right now. So that's when it pretty much just started with the syndication side right now. And that's where my role has kind of been as well. So it's just kind of a whole new thing where we're, we're getting all, we're trying to get all of these investors in because it's so fun to be, you know, providing these opportunities to people. So I've, I've had a lot of fun with that as well because you know, starting my Instagram page too, I never thought I'd be in a position where I could like provide these opportunities to people and it's like, wow, this is crazy. You're like I have the funnel. I know do these massive deals together. So yeah. Yeah. Definitely fun. Yeah, Jesse (29m 35s): No, that's really cool. And I think the, just the private placement or the exempt market has been blowing up, it's always, I mean, it's been a big part of the market. I don't think a lot of people that aren't in our industry or say the movie industry or oil and gas realize how so much money is raised through just private placements and, and that's the market that oftentimes that we're dealing with. But I think it's something that is really blowing up. I know for, you know, Canadians the fact that we're hearing about syndications and more and more people doing them up here when we are pretty conservative, when it comes to investing, I think is just kind of an illustration of that. So in terms of, you said you're in Boise right now in terms of the geography that you're investing in right now, is it focused on one specific market or are there a number of markets that you're looking at? Brittany (30m 24s): Oh, looking all over, especially with storage, there's opportunity all over the country. So looking for a population in a that's growing 30,000 people plus, so kind of looking at that. So there's lots of options there, but yeah, we're kind of all over focused in Texas, Oklahoma city, Kansas city. Boise's an awesome market. That's where new development project is and it's just growing like crazy, so super hot markets and, you know, looking for that. And then we, we have a lot of different ways. So I'm, I'm getting actually a lot of people sending me deals through Instagram, we've been in and we're looking for a storage facilities, 60,000 square feet plus, and you know, so and value add. So if there's any problems that we can solve, we're pretty good at solving those problems. And then we're able to turn them around pretty quickly. So that's kind of what we're looking, we're open to really any market, but as long as we, you know, we go in and do our deep dive of course, but it's, that's kind of the general criteria. Jesse (31m 26s): Nice. So I can only imagine your inbox is just probably hammered on, on Instagram. Brittany (31m 31s): I know all the VA's and that's like the other part of it. Cause I need to, you know, I'm in the phase of just hiring people out to help with all the organization of everything as well. So that's been really fun cause I'm used to doing everything on my own, but like this past year it's been definitely awesome to have this team around me and people on my side helping me out and to your point, who not, how not, how exactly changed everything Jesse (31m 58s): Point there, the team, what is the, what does the team look like right now in terms of the investments that you're doing? So, you know, AIJ, you know, in storage, for example, you know, there's the analytical, there's the operator, there's the market like where do you fall in that? And you know, who are your indispensable team members? You don't have to say their names, but just kind of the roles they do. Brittany (32m 19s): Yeah. So I mean the ADA's team is 35 plus people. So there's definitely a lot, but then there's the construction manager, acquisitions manager and myself, I'm kind of helping with the acquisitions and then syndication side. So that's kind of been my role and just kind of, you know, getting out cause we do a lot of on the education side as well. So there's an inner circle and you know, there's a lot of ways and that's the other part of it too, because once we get so many deals coming into us, maybe they don't exactly meet our criteria, but we're able to completely analyze them and help other investors out. If there's people who want to buy these, maybe a smaller facility, that's less than 60,000 square feet. So there's a lot of opportunity in that as well, sharing these extra deals kind of with it, that investors. So, but yeah, there's, there's a big team. They're really incredible with their operations and they have everything super streamlined. So taking Wilbur can flip them round super quick and get things on the operation side happening really fast. Very Jesse (33m 19s): Cool. So we're, we're almost coming up to the time here, but before we, before we kind of get into four questions, we asked every guest on the show. What I'd like to do is talk a little bit about the current environment that we've been living through, you know, from call it the last year and a half. Just what your experience has been like over this time, you know, as there been some, you know, wins or losses and what you think the opportunities over the next few years are going to be, or is there anything you're doing differently as a result of what we've experienced? Brittany (33m 54s): Yeah, well I think for me, it all my rentals have, I had a few, you know, tenants to work with who lost their jobs here at COVID. And so helping them out, you know, get things kind of a little bit more on track with them. But other than that, everything has been pretty stable and it's been a little bit, you know, it has been a way different year for me, but not really due to COVID. It was more due to my mindset expansion and trying to get into the commercial real estate space and working with expert operators who, you know, they, they know every single little detail and I'm like, okay, I can team up with the people who already analyzing every single little detail about everything there is to know, and if I can team up and help them with, you know, what I'm an expert at, that's where I kind of want to be. So it's been really fun connecting with these other operators in the spaces, but we're just, there is a lot of opportunity right now. There's a lot of changes happening with, in the states and everything with the 10 31 and there's all the talk of everything, but it's just kind of adjusting and pivoting and, and not being kind of intimidated, but just kind of analyzing and knowing, you know, we can mitigate a lot of risk in that way just with our experience, but yeah, yeah, for Jesse (35m 10s): Sure. I think it's just a matter of kind of being prepared. There's really nothing we can do if, whether it comes to capital gains 10 31 exchange, which as, you know, we, we don't have here, so we're just roll our eyes. Okay. You're going to lose it potentially. Very cool. So Britney, we ask guests on the show, we've touched on some of them, but pretty much four questions, pretty, pretty softball questions, everybody at the end of the show. So if you're game for that, I throw them at you. All right. One thing that you know now in your career that you wish you knew when you got started at what was a young age of 18. Brittany (35m 50s): So I think starting to build that credibility for yourself, you know, getting out there, building your network. I think that was a huge for me and I didn't see it at the time, but now I can definitely see how beneficial that is. So getting out there and starting building your network, you know, there's so many places you could go online and start posting in groups and everything. Even if you're a new investor, just get started now because it's intimidating posting. If you feel like you don't know what you're talking about yet, it's really hard to post. Cause you're like, feel awkward. Like, oh, I'm not an expert yet, but just start as soon as you can because people kind of connect to you no matter what stage you're at. Jesse (36m 27s): So you touched on it a little bit earlier. I think everybody's on the same page when it comes to mentorship, especially in our space, but your views on mentorship and maybe in the context of, you know, younger people getting in the industry, you know, what would you say to them? Brittany (36m 42s): You have to prove yourself because I think there's a lot of people that just take, take, take, they want one while all these things, but you really have to get out there and provide. So for me, you know, when I was starting, my, I didn't even have a thousand followers, I don't think. And I was posting on Instagram listening to bigger pop cause I was talking to my mentors and saying, oh, listening to BiggerPockets. This is what I learned on this episode, tag run and take Josh or David or whoever was hosting at the time and, and, and try to provide value for them by just, you know, shutting up their work and being like, okay, you guys should buy their books. You guys should do this to my little audience that I had at the time. But then that was kind of gaining this attention. And I was just working really hard every single day and mentors and people, they can see that they can see the people who are really trying willing to take advice and actually implement it and put it into action. But mentors, mentorship for me has been everything. And I have a lot of really awesome people on my side, but it's through that hard work that they're, they're going to want to help and continue to. Yeah, Jesse (37m 39s): For sure. I mean, especially with the social media now, if you're a champion of something that you find interested at, first of all, I think it's shines through, you know, if you're excited about it, but also just with social media, you're able to connect directly with that person. You know, it's something where, you know, 10 years ago, if you really liked a book, you could call the author, but now you kind of, you have everything at your fingertips if you want to take advantage of it. Totally. So in terms of, so question number three for you here, you already mentioned who not how, but is there any other resource or book that you, you know, you're using that you'd recommend to any of the listeners? Brittany (38m 16s): Yeah. Huna has a really good one, crushing it in apartments and commercial real estate by Brian Murray. He was another mentor of mine and a really awesome friend. He's just the best. So that's been one of my favorite books and that really started to change my mindset from single family to commercial real estate. And I do suggest, you know, getting cut cause it takes a long time. Right. So I read that book two years before I bought my first commercial building, but it was always in the back of my head, like, okay, you know what we're going to get started, but just like getting in that mindset sooner rather than later. Right Jesse (38m 48s): On. All right. My favorite question, first car, make and model. What are you strolling around Saskatchewan with? Brittany (38m 58s): Well, I had a Ford, 1995 work van. So that was that that's a good one because that's like a vehicle plus a house. So, and having just sleep in that for years. So yeah, be creepy if I was driving it, but I guess it's a normal Jesse (39m 15s): Vehicle and Northern Canada. Awesome for listeners, Brittany, obviously. I mean, you're a Google search away. Like I always say on the show, but if people want to connect with you or see what you're doing, see what you're up to in terms of investment, anything really, what's the, what's the best place that they can go to? W we'll put a link in the show notes. Brittany (39m 40s): So investor, girl grits, my Instagram page, that's where I post most of my stuff. And then my website, Brittany arneson.com. Jesse (39m 48s): My guest today has been Brittany Arneson Brittany. Thanks for being part of working capital. Thanks so much for having me.

Before You Partner With A Contractor Watch THIS! It is VERY common to want to partner with a contractor when rehabbing a house. 1. It seems like it’ll be cheaper 2. It seems like they would do a better job 3. It seems like you won’t need to babysit them and on and on… I’m sure you noticed how I said “SEEMS” and not “IS”. Not everything is as it seems. In this episode I will share with you not just the HORROR stories of partnering with a contractor but, if you still want to do it, how to do it the RIGHT WAY! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Dickie Bush is a full time Portfolio Manager based in New York City. He is a graduate of Princeton, where he received a degree in Financial Engineering and played on the football team.Dickie writes a weekly newsletter called Dickie's Digest where he shares thoughts and links on growth of all kinds, including personal, intellectual, physical, network, economic, and other forms of growth.Dickie is probably best known as the founder of Ship 30 for 30, an online cohort based course where he teaches writers how to write better, grow their audience, and show up consistently.In this episode, you'll learn: How Dickie runs Ship 30 for 30 How to build an online writing habit How to shorten your feedback loops to improve your writing Tactical tips to build a following on Twitter Links & Resources James Clear The Art and Business of Online Writing by Nicolas Cole 30 Days to Better Writing by Sean McCabe ConvertKit Jack Butcher Tim Ferriss The Nathan Barry Show 031: Mario Gabriele – From Lifelong Obsession to Thriving Business David Perell Andrew Wilkinson Sahil Bloom Julian Shapiro Dickie Bush's Links Ship 30 for 30 Substack: dickiebush.substack.com Twitter: @dickiebush Episode TranscriptDickie: [00:00:00] One that accelerated my growth, every morning, Monday through Friday at 9:00 AM, you'll get a question to reflect on where a lot of the replies become interesting pieces of advice. Right? I'm playing with one right now that I said, “Give the best advice you can in just two words.” It had 3,000 replies.The Twitter algorithm. When people respond to something, it shows up in more feeds.Nathan: [00:00:27] In this episode, I talked to Dickie Bush, who works in the finance industry, but has this wildly successful side hustle teaching writers how to write better, grow their audience and show up consistently, called Ship 30 for 30. This episode we get into a ton of great stuff, how to grow your Twitter list, how to stay accountable.We deep dive more than any other episode on the Twitter algorithm, what works, what doesn't, some of it is pure speculation. Some of it are things that have been pretty verifiable. There's a lot of good stuff. I think you're going to enjoy it. I particularly love how Dickie has put together these flywheels that he's refining each time he does a new cohort of the course. There's a ton of momentum here. He's just absolutely going to blow up. And it's really, really impressive. So with that, let's dive in. Dickie, welcome to the show.Dickie: [00:01:15] I appreciate you having me. Look forward to it. Nathan: [00:01:17] All of our listeners are very active on Twitter. And you can't be active on Twitter in the circles that you and I run in and not see your Twitter growth. I see Ship 30 for 30 growing, like crazy everyone, you know, posting essays and all of that. Before we dive into all of that, there's something that I actually didn't realize until prepping for this episode yesterday.And that's that everything we see online is just a side hustle for you. Can you talk about, at a high level, what you do day to day, and then, how you balance that with your wildly successful side hustle. Dickie: [00:01:58] Sure. So what I do, full-time, I'm a macro portfolio manager and the way I kind of describe it as my day job is to predict the global economy and how that unfolds. And there's only so many charts and numbers you can look at on kind of a daily basis from seven or 8:00 AM to five or six. And so my writing online and kind of journey, and that has been just a, a way to kind of step back from kind of the madness of, of markets and economies and things like that.And explore just little interests to me. And that has evolved relatively quickly, over the last, you know, nine months.Nathan: [00:02:38] Oh, I'm glad you said the nine months time. I, cause that that's roughly what I've noticed as well. What was that inflection point where you decided you're going to really focus on building an online audience and, you know, start writing online?Dickie: [00:02:54] I guess a little bit of a backstory it's probably longer than nine months. So I started writing online in January of 2020. With just a weekly newsletter. So I came into 2020 saying, I'm consuming all these podcasts and books and articles and just interested in learning. But my notes would end up in the back of a Notion notebook kind of into the void where, you know, there was no upside.And so I started kind of exploring, how can I start to have a forcing function to learn more about the things I'm doing? So I just started writing a weekly newsletter. I had seen people do it and you just curation and et cetera. So that was kind of my foray into it. And I did that for about 35, 40 weeks, and started writing on a blog, exploring dabbling in some things that I was interested in, but in July, I'd probably published 30 or 40 newsletters in a row, a couple of blog posts, but just felt like I was kind of stuck and had so many ideas that I wanted to explore, but didn't have the medium to do it. When my feedback loop was slow, I was on the weekly cadence, but it was inconsistent, et cetera. And so coming into August, I started just tweeting more and getting through these ideas. And I'm sure we'll talk more about Twitter. It's kind of an idea refinery, right? You can just get these ideas clear the junk that's in your head to find out what you really want to talk about.And so that was, you know, that was kind of the inflection point was when I made a new Twitter account in August and said, “I'm going to start to share these ideas that I think I want to talk about.”"Nathan: [00:04:27] As much as I want to ask there, but you said you made a new Twitter account. You just started more from scratch and kept, you know, forked off of an old one. What did you do there?Dickie: [00:04:34] So that one, I had a Twitter I've had Twitter since 2014, 2015, you know, big lifetime, just been involved with the product and loved it. And. There was a little bit of, okay, I'm going to pivot this. I had four or 500 followers at the time, had done some kind of thread curation and things like that. But my follower graph, I think was a little bit not damaged, but Twitter's algorithm.If you went on my account and said, who are this person similar to? It was all inactive accounts from high school. And so I just wanted a fresh slate too, kind of start over. And so I made the new account and said, Hey, I'm making a new account when I kind of reset this thing. And so I didn't also have like tweets from high school and things like that in there.so I just started fresh and it felt like a good way to do it.Nathan: [00:05:19] So you made a new account. Did you slide over like, you know, swap the same username or is it a different username?Dickie: [00:05:26] I swapped the username. So cause that one, it's just thinking like, I didn't want to lose it. So yeah. I changed the username on the old one, made the new one and then change back. So.Nathan: [00:05:34] Yeah. And you have that, that brief 45 second window where you'reDickie: [00:05:38] Yeah. And like sprinting, I'm like, Oh, there's hundreds of people who are about to steal it. Yeah. They're just counting down.Nathan: [00:05:42] So that's the first time I've heard the, like the Twitter algorithm or this idea of a damaged account.Can you talk about that more?Dickie: [00:05:51] It's a total hunch. Right. But now if you go on my account and it might've just been, I didn't have kind of that breakthrough or followers, but it was. You know, now when you go on my account that people, similar to, or other people in kind of our Twitter sphere. Right. Whereas in the old one, I was engaging in that community, but it was just inactive.So I, you know, I have no proof to back it up, but I was able to kind of grow what, sell more quickly right after.Nathan: [00:06:22] Yeah, that's interesting. And I wonder how that plays into it. But I could totally see that of Twitter being like, I don't know, the guy's just tweeted about random stuff for five or six years. Like, what do you want me to recommend them for? And then you're like, no, no, no, this stuff. And you're like, okay.But that's like 2% of what you've ever tweeted. Yeah. Got it. So, Dickie: [00:06:42] Yeah, there's something there, but I don't know.Nathan: [00:06:44] I'd love for someone to run some experiments on that and see if, how much that matters. But, one takeaway from it that I appreciate is you didn't just say like, Oh, here's a new thing that I'm doing.Let me lean that direction. You said, no, no, no. This is something that I'm taking seriously. We're going to go all in on. And really you didn't, you weren't attached to the sunk costs. You know, or like I, but I I've already 500 subscribers, then I'm going to throw that away. It was just the approach of like 500 is not going to take that long to getDickie: [00:07:16] It was almost like an acceptance of an inconvenient truth because I did have that sunk cost for like two months of like, Oh, I have 500 followers. And when I made the new one and said, Oh, I'm making this new one, like 45 came over. Right. So, so many of those were inactive accounts as well.So it was kind of this mental thing of like, Oh no, I can't give this up. But it was clear that I really hadn't done as much as I thought.Nathan: [00:07:38] So that's interesting. Cause that's the, you know, the person With an email list that they're proud of, but with a terrible open rate and they're still like, I have 10,000 people on my list and you're like, yeah, but you have a 5% open rate, but you don't have 10,000 people. And they're like, no, I have 10,000, you know?And it's just like, you got to accept the reality and realize that. Now you've got 500 people that actually are paying attention to you.Dickie: [00:08:00] Yeah, there's, there's tons of, like. Goodhart's law or just whatever, whatever it is, where you have this indicator of like, Oh, I have 10,000 email X, but now you're, you're spot on.Nathan: [00:08:10] Yeah. So how many subscribers did you have, like last July when you sort of started to take Twitter and writing more seriously or just before that?Dickie: [00:08:17] On my newsletter, I had about 200 and that was over 40 or 35 weeks. And, you know, I probably signed up about half of them. And I, I hadn't done much on the growth side. I just was kind of writing it and saying, now this is fun. It's a forcing function. What have you? And, I started that Twitter account really with about a hundred.So relatively small, to start.Nathan: [00:08:43] You know, at that point it sounds like you, you transformed it from like journaling. Here's what I learned all of that to actually focused on, on growth. Is that right?Dickie: [00:08:54] Right. It was, I started to just, I, I took a look at all these things, what I, to basically done in the nine months leading up to that was built up this idea of a blog post in my head where it's like, Oh, I have to sit down and write this thing and edit it and get feedback on it. And so it just had this super slow feedback loop.And I had this massive list of ideas, like, Oh, all these different areas I wanted to explore, but no medium to do it. And so what Twitter became was just, I could share these one-off ideas, Write, feel like, do a little bit of writing, make these small bets on if things resonated. And then at the same time to kind of have just more eyeballs on there.So I wasn't publishing into the void. I took what I was doing on my newsletter. you know, Podcast curation and started just summarizing the ones I was listening to. Right. And people appreciated that it made them more digestible. So it was kind of this, this, value add while I was exploring these more ideas.Nathan: [00:09:51] Yeah. And that's interesting. I think, I probably do the same thing of like building up, like my favorite blog posts that I read are from where you can tell someone to put a huge amount of time and effort into it. And it's polished detailed Research. Do you know whether it's a piece from like someone like James clear or, you know, I love these like complete guide type posts.And so I find myself waiting, you know, And I might publish four of these a year or something myself, but. Exactly. As you're saying, there's a lot more ideas out there. And a lot of unrefined ideas that if you're not careful, like that's the unrefined ideas, what's going to make it into your, like your long form detailed blog post.Dickie: [00:10:34] Well, I think it's important. That's an important point because now you can publish for a year because you have a credibility to it. Where in the beginning you could publish the ultimate guide, but there's not really anyone who sees you as an authority in that area. Right? So in something we preach and Ship 30 is you have to just get these ideas out there and work through a lot of it.Where people are going to come to your blog later, once you've kind of built a small following versus people just finding their way onto your blog, right? So its kind of a chicken or egg problem. And that's why I think the beauty of Twitter is you can start to accelerate these feedback loops, versus just kind of publishing into the void.Nathan: [00:11:16] Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. So something that you're doing A lot, and I'm curious when this started is playing around with different formats for tweets. You know, and, and really with Ship 30, I've seen you popularize that a lot of having a headline, you know, you're leading in the tweet itself and then the essay, as an image, when did you start to notice that working and was that inspired by anybody?Dickie: [00:11:39] So I've seen it all over Twitter early on. not early on, but a couple months ago where I think the very first one was, I can't remember his name, but he, he was doing like venture capital, blogs, like blogs in a single screenshot. And I loved the media. Right. It's like Twitter is a horrible place for long form content.Well or medium form content. I should say, Write threads are kind of they're just a little bit clunky, right? There's a time and place for threads on like, Poignant advice and things like that, but there is a, sometimes you want to read something like that. And so the atomic essay is just a way to tweet something, expand on it all in the same medium.Right? So it's like you said, with the lead in, you put something out there. If people want to read more, it, they can click on the image, read it, but it's also kind of a standalone, whatever it is at the top. Right? So it's like this optionality that you create. That leads and it's kind of a, it's a scroll stopper, right?People stop on images versus a, just a sea of text. And it's easy to kind of scroll through.Nathan: [00:12:45] Yeah. And what's interesting about it is also the load time. I have spent a lot of time in user experience. You know, I got started in designing mobile apps and, and just people have really interesting. behaviors when they're on their phone, especially, if the, the internet connection might not be the best and all of that.And you just see so many people click through to a site, let's say it's currently popular on hacker news that day, and it's overwhelmed. And the server's loading slowly. And they'll just click right back out and move on because it didn't load fast enough. And there's also just this unknown of sure. I clicked through this link, but what am I actually getting?And Twitter tries with the Twitter card, sort of give you a little preview maybe. but the expectations and the load time are Things that I don't think you should underestimate with. You know, what you're calling in a telematic essay of just clicking right in. And I know. You got to fit the whole thing in that screenshot.And so, you know, it's going to load super fast and I only have to commit to reading it for, I don't know, the next 45 six.Dickie: [00:13:51] And it's, it's something we talk about. And it's a quote from Julian Shapiro. That's where I, first of all, it is people don't have short attention spans. They have short consideration span. And so it's a, it's an empathetic writing medium, right? It's like, you're not going to have to read very much. We try to say that you better grab attention even in your atomic essay in the first line, because people can just swipe it away.Right. So it's like a, it's a way, it's a way of thinking of, we're not asking you to do very much by reading. This is clearly not going to take you all day. you can swipe away if you want. And yeah, the load time is interesting too, cause it's always right.Nathan: [00:14:25] You named it and atomic essay, is what impact do you think that has had on, on, you know, giving it a specific brandable name?Dickie: [00:14:35] It made sense to me as I see these as the building blocks for a lot of longer form content. And these, like you said, these, these blockbuster blog posts are really 15 or 20 writing sessions boiled down and kind of put all together where you could take one of the sections and it could be a standalone blog for a lot of them.So we see it as like this building block, atomic chemistry. What have you, physics, a lot of these longer form ideas. And so it just brings down the friction. It's I'm not publishing anything long It's I got to take one idea. I got about 200 words of space and I'm going to do it every day for 30 days.So all of these things kind of make it of lowering the, shaky hand to hit publish. Take all that friction away and make it as small as possible.Nathan: [00:15:29] Yeah. I love it. You know, so many people obsess over word, count, obsess over. I was going to say substance, I think, I mean more like making it really impactful. And so, you know, if you're publishing on a weekly or a monthly cadence, then you're putting so much more pressure on yourself. And so, or they're doing other things where they're saying I'm going to write every single day and it never leaves their computer.I'm curious as you made this pivot, Ooh, you know, last, last July last August, what did you notice different in your own writing habits and maybe what were some of those examples of ideas that got refined? You know, when they actually, I guess, hit the market rather than just being inside your newsletter.Dickie: [00:16:13] I think first and foremost, I learned to write quickly the part of the constraint is we say under 250 words, try to do it under 45 minutes and just get in the habit of being okay with B plus quality, with a plus consistency in the beginning. Right. Earn the right to focus on quality by getting through and building this consistency.And then. So that was kind of, for me, my ability to sync has gone through the roof to where it's like, I have this every single morning, this Coliseum to do, thinking on a single idea where anything I'm kind of want to explore further, I get 45 minutes to an hour to try to refine it. And the. The constraints of it, of getting it down to 250 words really improves my ability to kind of work through it in a, in a simple way.So it's all of these things that just bring my thoughts a little bit more coherent.Nathan: [00:17:15] Yeah. That makes sense. and then are you still bringing it to long form essays or you found that you're really focused on, on the shorter, medium?Dickie: [00:17:24] So I haven't, I'm disappointed in how much long form writing I've done, just because building the business side has kind of taken a lot of the long form content. So I'm still publishing along. I'm about to hit my 100 and at that point, I'm going to start to flip back through them because I've a lot of the things.Like my threads have been, you know, expanded upon atomic essays and things like that. So I had this foundation that I'm looking to put on a blog or on a whatever from here, but I just haven't found the time. So I got this big backlog and eventually I hope to kind of pivot into, into the longer form.Nathan: [00:18:01] Yeah, well, it's interesting. I'm, I'm thinking about the number of ideas that I've been putting down and writing into a book and found that because that format requires so much thought and structured and they all almost should be accompanied by. This other side of the really casual, like it here for a high friction of we're going to put it into a traditionally published book.These are well-refined ideas. Then we should have the opposite of anything here is where there's complete freedom. You have to publish. I love the time constraint of like, try to do an under 45 minutes, and just iterate quickly and refine those ideas.Dickie: [00:18:42] So we think the constraints are the biggest part of it, right? Any I'm writing a down on this now it's like there's seven or eight different constraints you can have as a writer and decisions. You can make, you know, medium platform, topic, length, time to Write publishing and. Every ounce of thought you put into those decisions takes away from your rights.So everyone that comes into Ship 30 it's like here are the eight things you might have to decide, and we've already made them for you. Now go Write everyday for 30 days, we give you the templates. We give you all of the things you need. It's like, okay, just explore 30 ideas now. And we, the creative freedom that we see it unlock is, is tremendous.Nathan: [00:19:25] Yeah. Okay. So let's talk about, for a second about the format of Ship 30 and. So you it's a, a course, you know, cohort based course that you're running monthly. How many months have you been running it now?Dickie: [00:19:38] So it's every six weeks just to give a two week break in between kind of reset. so the very first one was in November and we're on cohort number four Day 16 and today's April 14th. So yeah, we're on the fourth cohort right now.Nathan: [00:19:52] I had, like in first reading, I had seen it as monthly and I was like, that must be crazy to go 30 days, like, and justDickie: [00:20:01] Yeah, we found it, with, with off-boarding and trying to make improvements like the two week between each one has just been a heads down sprint of how can we make this better? What can we learn from our off-boarding and how can we Ship as many new features? and so that's always a fun time, but yeah, it's about every six weeks.Nathan: [00:20:17] So is it a ramp up? And then like when I sign up as a student, isDickie: [00:20:23] SureNathan: [00:20:24] up over our first week? Or take me through that experience?Dickie: [00:20:26] You will sign up. We drip you through like a resources sequence until the start of onboarding week. So onboarding week will start one week before the first day of the 30 days. So on that Monday, You're brought into the community Slack. We take you through a pretty comprehensive onboarding where, which is when you take the, how to Ship 30 for 30 course, which is, are just, it's a, it's a writing course, but it's really a habit design course.We give you everything you need to set up your daily writing workflow, all the templates and everything, and then work you through some more resources. Get you introduced to the community, sets you up in your accountability partners, et cetera. And then on Monday, you're ready to hit the road.Nathan: [00:21:05] Yeah. So, and then before that you're talking about dripping it. So if I were to sign up say, let's say I were to just miss, you know, sign up for one cohort and I'm like, Oh, the next one sounds interesting. I could buy that. Today. And then I would receive that Content timed out, you know, over a couple of weeks.Dickie: [00:21:25] So you wouldn't have access to the actual how to Ship 30 course. We put that just as the week on this, these are more just how to improve your writing Podcast articles, you know, things like that. And then on the first day you are entered into a 30 day email course written by Nicholas Cole. Who's just one of the most he's my business partner.And. The master of online writing in my opinion. And he put that together every single day, you get a prompt if you're running out of ideas and then kind of an actionable piece of writing advice on crafting headlines, gathering attention, distribution, those kinds of things.Nathan: [00:21:59] Nice. Yeah, that's great. Something else I noticed that you do, in your pricing is that the pricing changes as it gets closer to the date. Can you talk about that?Dickie: [00:22:09] Yeah. The, we like to have a good sense of how many we are going to have. and there's also a bit of the most public momentum on it happens at the beginning of each cohort. Right? So on day one through five, we've been on kind of a two week, two week break. And so during that first week and a half people that are unfamiliar are going to be greeted with a bunch of new essays.And so we try to capture that momentum in saying, Hey, if you want to sign up now, like you're going to regret it later if you don't pull the trigger earlier. And so it's just a, it's a way to incentivize early sign-ups and that gives us more clarity on the size of each one.Nathan: [00:22:50] Right. So it's something I. I'm realizing I'm relying on a screenshot from my notes, but the pricing being like one 99 until April 5th and then two 49 until April 26th and then two 99 from April 20, 2016, up until close. So, you know, it's basically saving 30% if you sign up today rather than say, Oh, that's so cool.I'll totally do it. And then in 20 days from now, when it's actually time to sign up being like, Oh yeah, I've, you know, I've got busy or whatever else.Dickie: [00:23:21] Right. It's all about taking action. And so that's what we try to incentivize.Nathan: [00:23:25] Yeah. So how do you think, the balance in, right in the product that you're selling of in Ship 30 for 30 it's obviously courses, Content, accountability, and all that. How do you think about the balance between a course like in the, the content and the structure that you're selling versus the accountability of like, look you have.You have all the ingredients, you, you just need someone to say like, like hold you accountable to Shipping and, sitting down and doing the writing.Dickie: [00:23:55] Yeah, it's a, we try to front-load the. Here's everything you need. And then the 30 days give as much accountability as we can. So we have office hours sessions. We have a, popping into Slack. We have accountability partners. It's we try to say, okay, if you have all these things in place to sit down on the first day of the 30 days and start writing, no matter what Day 11 is going to be hard.And so how can we intervene in that and continue to give you new ideas, engage with friends, bounce things around, you know, that is so it's like a Content Content Content course to begin. And then all about accountability.Nathan: [00:24:37] When you're running the same cohorts, you definitely see those trends of like, alright. Day 11 is hard. I can totally imagine that. The number of times that I've had a daily writing habit. Start or any kind of daily habit practicing the piano, you know, running or whatever else.And you hit basically that like day seven, you're like, yes, I've got a streak and then Day 10, 11, 15, somewhere in there. You're like, damn it, this is hard. This is a lotDickie: [00:25:03] Exactly. And we track a lot of that data where we're attracting the analytics to our web app, where you publish the essay and we're able to see, as people started to fall off, what can we do? And we've learned from the first three lines. If you can get to Day six or seven with some momentum, you've got a good chance.And then you're going to face another struggle around day 15, we call it the debt. Just, you know, Seth Godin's the debt. It, it happens to everyone. And so we really intervene during that time. You get them over that hump and then they're getting to day 30. So we've found kind of these places to intervene, to maximize the number of people that get all the way through.Nathan: [00:25:38] Yeah, that's interesting. So you're talking about this web app. So people aren't just posting their essays on Twitter, or maybe to their existing email list there they're actually publishing them inside the application as well.Dickie: [00:25:48] No. So the application is just kind of a text box that allows, so we started with just a Figma template. And distributed to everyone, but you can imagine the user experience is not that easy to maneuver a Figma template. So shout out to the first two cohorts, who've kind of put up with that. And then we had a community member build this web app where you get full creative control, but with a much easier interface.And then you export it right to an image you tweet right from there, but there's no platform kind of for the images themselves yet, or thinking about something with it. But for now it's just, just a standalone.Nathan: [00:26:25] Yeah. So how do you think about the, like the viral loops on this? I guess there's two sides of it. One is for the individual creator, you know, of the audience of their building and all of that, but I'm, I'm work here is about for the product that you're selling. Right. Of, The shift 30, it needs, you know, new, new creators to come in and participate in all of that.And you haven't really conveniently that all of your students, you know, all of your successful students are doing your marketing for you. How intentional was that? And then what changes or what tweaks have you made along the way?Dickie: [00:27:04] That was not as intentional as I would like to say that I had this thing, you know, big vision, but when it hit me that the more successful you are. The more marketing you do for the program, every successful one becomes kind of the front end asset for it. It was, I knew we were onto something when that clicked.So I threw in, there was a little things like in the Figma template, if you want, you can put it your own URL, but if not, it just says Ship 30 to thirty.com. You know, we have the hashtag, we have people it's a very ubiquitous thing, right. So there's a lot of parts to, The branding of it, wherever it's very recognizable and it's working, right.The audience that each member builds wants to then do it. So its kind of a, it's a beautiful loop.Nathan: [00:27:52] Yeah. Are there other, products or courses or things like that that you've seen with a similarly successful, viral loop?Dickie: [00:28:00] I'm not sure to be honest. I think it's. Because of the nature of it being like a writing challenge, in a sense you there's a lot of other courses, you learn something and then apply it to something completely different. But this is a very specific thing of what your goal is, is to write. And so by nature of writing, you build in that, that viral loop.Nathan: [00:28:24] Yeah. And it's just, it's taking everything that would be spread out over a long period of time. Like someone might be thinking about, okay, I'm going to do a cohort based course. I'm going to, I'm going to charge a thousand or 2000 or $3,000 for it. It's this big thing. It's, it's going to be six weeks or three months, like a semester long, you know, or.All of this stuff. And then they're going to implement what they learn over the next three, six, 12, 24 months. And that like, that's interesting, but what you've done is you've just taken all of this and crammed it down into one thing with very clear deliverables. And so all of that momentum happens all at once and it's fascinating to me.Dickie: [00:29:07] Yeah, and I think that's why we've been able to grow relatively quickly. We started with 55 and the first cohort were 171. Then two 50 and now the current one is 335.Nathan: [00:29:18] Wow. Hmm. Okay. So, so those are some of the numbers get into the revenue side, right. how much have, have you earned from the business and, and what are you looking for going forward?Dickie: [00:29:30] So total we've, we've done some things with the pricing where in the beginning, In the January cohort, the price was $99 because we didn't have the how to Ship 30 course. We didn't have the email course. We didn't have a lot of the things that we put in place now where we feel much stronger about charging.So now Write the price. As of right now is 250. And so our average price for every single person who has come through is about 135, but that's increasing now. And so the revenue breakdown. From just shift 30 is right around a hundred, a hundred thousand. And we have now Nicholas Cole and I have launched a follow on writing course called the right to Ship, which is for everyone who takes Ship 30 for 30, and really wants to double down in kind of an immersive online writing masterclass.It's the only way to describe a Nicholas Cole's book, the art and business of online writing, which of course is based on his kind of head blowing emoji. Where he's just been in this game for so long. and so he, he's a primary teacher for that, and that has done about 45,000 between, so those are when the first quarter, and based on just our, our current trajectory where we're looking to, I don't have an exact projection, but we just start, it's hard to forecast.Right. We're just moving quickly and continuing to improve all the products. And, and on that side, we'll see what happens.Nathan: [00:31:00] Yeah. Yeah, that's good. One thing. Right? So those are all the really positive, exciting, sides of it. one thing that I want to ask about it, especially because it involves, you know, our community directly, is some of the, like when you first came out with the sales page and everything for, shift 30 for 30, like the cost and similarities to Sean McCabe's, 30 days to better writing.And so I'm curious. One how that came to be. And then also, you know, how you handled a mistake like that. And then maybe the final thing is, is sort of this, this balance between, inspiration and us all being in the same community and learning from each other versus, you know, something like plagiarism, which is a big deal in the, in the writing community.Dickie: [00:31:48] Yeah, that that was a, drastic mistake on my side and caught up in. The idea I had was just market research on some are things. And I, to be honest was, it was just a terrifying moment for me when I realized what I'd done caught up in kind of a, a swipe file of notes and different things like that. And right when I kind of clicked two and three, it was, I need to own this mistake spot on.And so I said, Sean, this was a massive mistake. I, I. Take full ownerShip of it. I apologize. And I took it. I mean, it would have been up there for no more than a minute or two, no lie. And I took a step back after that and said, I have some, this has grown faster than I thought and had some work to do. And so I tried to, you know, took a step back and said, how can I prevent anything like this?I need to check myself and. That was a big moment of growth for me, where I kind of got shaken awake and I'm glad Sean was tremendously respectful and had every reason to be, you know, not as, as nice as he was about it until I'm very glad that we were able to, to kind of work that out.Nathan: [00:33:06] Yes, I'm in, Sean's an incredible human I've known him for a long time. He actually lives here in Boise. He was over at my house like four days ago for dinner. and, and so I, he's just so generous with his time and everything. And I think on the business side, there's a lot of places that you can make missteps.I've certainly had them with ConvertKit over the years with my own writing. And so, you know, one, I think it's important to talk about them, too, like exactly like you did, I've just own up to it. There's this other angle that people can take of like, Oh no, I didn't like let's pretend that happen or something.And that is a sure way to take, you know, a small problem and turn it into a huge problem. cause the internet is very unforgiving of people who. Pretend that they didn't make a mistake, you know? and so just like owning up to it directly and then sharing lessons learned from it. So, I love to hear that, you know, that was a point where you're, you're putting in more, safeguards or things like that.Is there anything that you recommend for writers going through your course or how they should, you know, make sure to cite sources properly or, You know, bridge this gap between inspiration and, and, like w wild side of inspiration and what they're actually publishing.Dickie: [00:34:31] I think it's a, you hear it to imitate then innovate where the more you can, all of these ideas are remixes and you want the best way to do it is say where your you are inspired from. And so it it's credit in the footnotes or whatever it is, but the more you can take ideas and then expand upon them, remix them, bring them together with others, is something we preach heavily.Nathan: [00:34:55] Yeah. Yeah, that's a good one. It makes me think of there's this idea of, you know, leverage selling products, multiple times, all of this that I've talked about for a long time, you know, I wrote a book about it and back in 2013, All this stuff. And then I came across Jack butcher, you know, in the last couple of years, phrasing it as build once, sell twice.And that was just the, you know, the, all these concepts that he had just narrowed down into one really simple phrase. And it's like, Oh man, one, I wish I thought about that. I thought of that because it's such a good phrase. and then, you know, too, I want to use it in my work. And so it's just like, okay, I.As a writer. I absolutely can. I just have to immediately say like, well, I learned from Jack butcher. You just have to give that, that credit immediately. cause there again, there's nothing new under the sun. It's all been said one way or another and it's just cite your sources.Dickie: [00:35:54] Yeah, spot on. It's fine.Nathan: [00:35:56] Let's dive into the Twitter growth side. Cause that that Twitter account that you spun up, you know, starting from scratch, is now over 20,000 subscribers. So things have, have taken off. what have you learned in going from zero to 20,000 and what are we at eight months now?Dickie: [00:36:16] Yeah, I think it's a, it's definitely a consistency side where I think I've tweeted. 35 times a week for the last call. It, however long since August, have written three or four threads a week and Twitter, it's a fickle platform because you have to consistently create content and continue to put it out.There is a way you can kind of put some Metta threads together and have, you know, ways of, of linking your old content. But at the same time, if someone visits your site or your profile, They get about four tweets or your bio to decide to follow you. So it's a consistent kind of putting things out and also just having a clear value proposition either whether it's in your bio or things like that, where the amount of optionality that anyone has to follow other people on Twitter, you kind of have to have a decent calling point.So all those points you can put in place to make that easy is the name of the game.Nathan: [00:37:17] So were there, like in all the different types of. Tweets. And I'm wondering if you even break this down. All right. There are things where you're or if I look at what's working for me, sometimes I'm surprised by it. Like I asked a question of, Hey, what is genuinely asking? what has made for a great Airbnb that you've stayed in because I own a few Airbnbs, I'm looking to level up the experience, et cetera.And that was like 350 replies and all this engagement and all of these followers. and I was like, I was just, you know, taking advantage of the fact that I have bunch of trends. That's what our followers to get an answer to a question rather than, you know, looking for engagement. So I'm curious in all the different types of tweets that you could do, whether it's threads questions, pithy, little perfect, you know, quotes like things that people will always agree with.What stood out to you that has worked in those, or are you just always playing with every different style?Dickie: [00:38:16] I have a couple consistent ones that I do. So in February, I for I've been journaling every morning for two or three years now and have kind of a staple of questions. And so this was one of my old blog posts that I published kind of into the void of my 10 favorite journal questions, 10 favorite questions to reflect on and where I found them.And I wrote up a thread on, on those, inspired by Tim Ferris. And in February he shared a link to my thread in his five bullet Friday. As a and so that was, for me, it was, I mean, I've listened to every episode. It was one of the coolest things to, you know, be just scrolling through and boom, get your name hit in the middle of it.So one that accelerated kind of my growth, but at the same time I'd been tweeting some reflection questions. And so now every morning, Monday through Friday at 9:00 AM, you'll get a question to reflect on. And it's just an interesting question for me. And so I find that these consistent formats where. You kind of become a Chipola like consistency, where people come to your profile and they know what to expect on a lot of things.Like I ask a question of the day on Mondays and Wednesdays of just, you know, what is financial freedom look like to you? Where a lot of the replies become interesting pieces of advice, right? I'm playing with one right now that I said, give the best advice you can in just two words. And it had 3000 replies.Had just because it was, and it was just a classic example of these constraints, creating creativity. but now those, the ones that are just engaging, asking questions, obviously scale is you have an audience, but they're the most fun task. And as a nature of the Twitter algorithm, when people respond to something, it shows up in more feeds, right?So there's that kind of, like you said, about the Airbnb, it was the reason so many people saw it was everyone else saw other people respond to it.Nathan: [00:40:10] As you look at that algorithm, are you seeing other things that are, you know, rewarded more? since Twitter does reward, you know, at first it was just retweets. You know, if you want to be seen in other feeds, it had to be retweeted and now favorites and replies are, are playing into it as well.Dickie: [00:40:27] Yeah, I think less so on that. What works? It's the, what does it work or posting the links. And so if you try to take Twitter off, if. You can see it in the data of, if you try to post links to something, you're it just gets crushed. I don't, I understand why I don't know how they kind of program it, but I'm sure it's some algorithm to do so, but that is a reason to any kind of writing you do.And you're seeing it more is you have to repurpose everything for Twitter. And that's what their goal is, is like they are taking flight in this creator ecosystem, right. They want you to stay on the platform, create content there. And so if you have a blog post and you're not, you know, I think Mario who was on the last episode does a tremendous job breaking down every post of the generalist into a thread.And that gets a lot of engagement naturally, because if he just said, Hey, here's the breakdown, go click on it. One people don't like to leave Twitter very much. And two the algorithm doesn't like when you try to bring them off. Right? So it's a double whammy that, if you're repurposing, you're going to get the best of everything.Nathan: [00:41:31] Yeah. And I mean, that's something that we've seen with, YouTube quite a bit where YouTube does not like to drive traffic off of the algorithm or off of the platform and the algorithm, you know, you could say. It's debatable, whether it penalizes videos that drive versus it rewards, videos that keep people on the platform.Probably some combination of both, when we have these, this Content that, you know, so I wrote an article, probably the last, like really serious, essay I wrote was called the billion dollar creator. And I wrote that on my blog. It's, you know, I don't know, 3000, 4,000 words long or something. and. That Twitter thread that I wrote of taking the highlights all the way down, you know, turning it into a threat and making sure there's images for each thing.That's probably the most popular tweet I've ever put out. but I'm curious when you're thinking about taking long form writing and repurposing it for Twitter. When do you go to a thread? When do you go to, you know, an atomic essay or something put into, you know, a screenshot and. Is there a system there?Dickie: [00:42:43] There's not that clean of a system, but my kind of mental hierarchy is everything starts as a tweet. And if it's got a little bit engagement, I'll explore it more for myself and posted it as an atomic essay. And then if that gets a lot of engagement, I know there's people are more likely to share threads.I think just because the, you know, I think it's a little more natural of like a retweet versus retweeting, the image. so that's kinda my. Sot. And I think on the long form side, it's definitely a thread because it ties nicely in to most of your long form content. It's going to be a lot of not standalone things, but sectioned off things.Right. So you can repost each one is its own kind of standalone, all the way down.Nathan: [00:43:28] Yeah. That's interesting. Somebody else I see is like, David Perell will often do this as he'll go back to these old threads. or AIJ who created card? he'll do, he has this thread, that's probably like 500 tweets long at this point of like every update and improvement he's ever made to card. How do you think of that as opposed to new ContentDickie: [00:43:48] Yeah, that, one's a little bit of inside baseball, where if you, if you have a tweet thread and you respond to it later, it shows the top tweet and the most two recent replies. So I just wrote a thread in my most popular one, ever. And it was just 10 inside Twitter, like advanced Twitter tips. And that one blew up beyond my wildest dreams had 40,000 likes or something like that.And one of the tips was if you want to re, re bring Content back up to the top, just respond to it. And don't retweet it, like add a new layer of thinking to it or something like that. And it naturally just brings it back up to the top as if you just tweeted it.Nathan: [00:44:31] And so then people are seeing this, this tweet that's already, popular. It's already maybe got 300 likes and twenty-five retweets and they're like, Oh, this must be good. And they're not paying attention to the fact that it's, you know, six months old or six weeks old,Dickie: [00:44:48] Correct. Yeah, exactly.Nathan: [00:44:50] What are some of, of those other things? And then we'll obviously point people in the show notes to the thread about Twitter threads. If we can get more meta than that.Dickie: [00:44:57] Okay. The first one of the big thread was just advanced Twitter tips and it was things like how to create lists, how to block, meet words. So that one is a little less prevalent, but I wrote one breaking down. Why I thought that one was successful. And that is kind of my approach to thread writing.And so a couple of just small ones, his eye of the camp that every tweet should act as a standalone. So I don't number things because you're able to engage and pop in and reply to single ones on your own. I think there should be. 90% of your thread success is going to be the very first tweet. And it's just a exercise in copywriting.And we've seen all the trends of, you know, time for thread or capitalized thread, those come and go. And once people get sick of reading them, there's a new one that comes out that kind of captures people. So that one is something we're spending more time on than cause at the end of the day, like that's the click-through rate, the better that you can get people to.You're just clicking on an article in the same sense. Right? So however you can. Write your copy too, to bring that up. and then just, if you break down the virality of it, it's people share things that are educational or entertaining. And so you should very clearly see which one, like Sean periods, clubhouse thread, that's the funniest, one of the funniest things I've ever read.And there was just, no, it was as long, it was the longest thing I've ever read on Twitter, but there was no way I was, wasn't going to go back up to the top and share it. And speaking of which, I guess one last tip is after you post one, you can quote, tweet it at the very bottom to give someone kind of a call to action, to jump back up to the top, to share it.So it's, Hey, if you enjoyed this. You know, jumped back up to the top and, and share it with your, with your followers and then they can tap right on it. And it brings it back up because so often you get to the bottom and it's just, you just swipe away. It's, you know, I'm onto the next thing, but this is, this is a way to say, Hey, if you enjoyed this, you probably forgot that this started up at the top here.They can click on it right away and share it. So it's just, you know, empathetic writing, getting them to do a little bit less work to go up and, and share it.Nathan: [00:47:01] Yeah. And that works well for you. And so one thing that you could do is if you had some popular threads in the past, you could even put that tweet at the very end referencing, you know, doing the circular reference and that, you know, would work well to, make the thread more effective going forward.And as you were saying, it would resurface the thread almost like a retweet would.Dickie: [00:47:23] Yeah. There's like a, there's a. Ecosystem of content you can start to create. Once you have a bunch of threads on a bunch of different topics, it's like, Oh, I've already covered this here. If you want to learn more about it. So, and it it's a, like a Roam Research of, of Twitter, which they don't do a great job of, of working out.But there's like a way to link all your content together in a way that's almost immersive. Right? You can just jump around and stay down the rabbit hole.Nathan: [00:47:48] have you noticed something like on threads? You'll see people, you know, do take Mario for example, with it, you know, club, he's writing all of that up. And then at the end, he's usually linking to like, go read the full piece. Ha when that's buried a little further down in the thread, do you think Twitter penalizes that?or do you think that works fine to link people off if it's at the end, right? Yeah.Dickie: [00:48:14] I think that works fine. I think it's on the tweet level that you will, are penalized for a link. So it's not that they like sense that you're trying to do it at the bottom. I think it's, if it's like a simple statement of, if this contains a link like penalize share-ability.Nathan: [00:48:30] How that's fascinating. What about media? Like, I think about a thread, from Andrew Wilkinson that he did on, it was like the. The real story about private equity firms and being bought. So it was like a mix of his, his experience plus general experience and all that. And his media all the way through was mostly like Scrooge McDuck, you know, gifts like diving into gold coins.And like, it wasn't that relevant, but it didn't make it a lot more engaging. And so I'm curious, does obviously the image to get people to click in and pay attention, but he had an image tied to every single one.Dickie: [00:49:11] Yeah, I have. I've noticed that I have, more pure text, mostly because I'm not creative enough to like figure out an image for every single one. But. Some like Sahil, Blum who writes tremendous threads on, on finance does a lot of images and everyone just to kind of give it some context and some texture, I think it is.And I'm sure it works for, for everyone. Right. But, it's not something I've particularly explored, but I think it's, I enjoy reading them when they've got some kind of image or a little video clip here and there. or gift that, that keeps the reader going.Nathan: [00:49:43] Somebody else that I want to touch back on is you mentioned you don't number threads, or like, you know, this is tweet four of seven, which is something that always annoys me for whatever reason. when people number the threads, I feel like, I don't know. It makes it feel like non-native Content.Like it doesn't actually belong on Twitter. it, and like you were saying, each tweet can't stand alone and often you'll find that where you'll click you're seasoned and retweeted you back. Oh, that's interesting. You click into it to see the replies, and then you realize that it's actually tweet five of a 25 tweet thread.It's not even the beginning of it. for some reason, it just seems less engaging when you're putting something in there that is not necessary for the tweet itself. So I think that's a really good point.Dickie: [00:50:34] Yeah, like the one flash, it just, it, it doesn't do much, you know, it, it takes away from the flow of it. Right. That's how I feel.Nathan: [00:50:41] Yeah, that's good. Keep bringing it back to newsletters. so Twitter, these days is one of the biggest channels that people are growing newsletters. how has your efforts on Twitter? How has that played back for your newsletter? And what's worked to drive, subscribers or followers from Twitter to newsletter subscribers.Dickie: [00:50:59] I haven't done. So my newsletter is it's just a curation of links that I'm interested in, on. I just really call it growth. So growth of companies, people, systems improvement, that kind of thing. I have had really three events. I think I have like 2,900, 3000 subscribers on my newsletter. because I've kind of focused more on Twitter.I feel like I could start to share my news that or more to drive traffic, but the three that had one of my very first successful threads, I wrote one on biology's tryna Boston, that Naval picked up and I went from 300 to a thousand Twitter followers. And. From 250 to 800 newsletter subscribers, just cause I popped it at the bottom.And that was, I like to say it took 40 weeks to get to, to 300 in about nine hours to go to to 800, which is just how it goes. Right. but I have, my newsletter has turned more into just kind of a personal thing and the, the growth of it, I'm less focused on because there's not. Everyone has enough curation his letters.I'm really writing it for me at this point. Will I take it to a different medium or something in the future, maybe, but, today it's really just, you know, I'll tweet it out and pop the link at the bottom. every, every Sunday when I write it, but nothing too, too crazy.Nathan: [00:52:25] Yeah. That makes sense. Is there anything that, as someone let's say they've got 10,000 subscribers or 5,000 subscribers, they've got some traction. Is there anything that you would want to leave them with of things that have worked really well for you that you think other creators listening should, should take into account?Dickie: [00:52:42] Yeah, one of my biggest lessons learned on the content side was from Sahil, who I mentioned earlier and it's create great content, but don't underestimate the importance of distribution and for a lot of us Twitter, especially if, or whether it's your newsletter. You want to feel confident in sharing the things you're writing, right?So it's almost this forcing function where if I say every thread that I write, I'm going to DM it to 10 people who I think will find it valuable. I know that I'm going to put more effort and more refining into my content, but at the same time, that's going to force me to create better content. They're going to be more likely to share it.And so I've fallen into this trap of, “Oh, I've, I've hit that 10,000 Mark enough people are reading.” You never know, they could be on an off day. And so hustle for distribution and take it seriously, I think is the biggest lesson that I've learned and the result is better content and just more growth.Nathan: [00:53:46] Yeah, that's great. Well, where should people go to follow you on Twitter? Subscribe to the newsletter, check out the course and everything else?Dickie: [00:53:53] Sure. So on Twitter, I spend way too much time. That's @Dickiebush, D I C K I E B U S H. I'm sure you'll find me there. If you want to learn more about Ship 30 for 30, Ship30for30.com, and my newsletter is Dickiebush.substack.com. So I keep it simple. And yeah, the DMs are open. Reach out.I love to chat, and you'll definitely find me on Twitter that's for sure.Nathan: [00:54:21] I think what we've established for sure is that you're very accessible on Twitter. Well, good times. Thanks for coming on and we'll chat soon.Dickie: [00:54:31] Cool. Thanks Nathan. I appreciate it.

Questions That Need Answering Three Tragic Stories Michael D Siau, 38 of Boyce, LA was found beaten to death on September 26, 1985, in a ditch in Alexandria, LA. Unidentified white female found April 12, 1998, alongside I-49 in Lena, LA, 20 miles north of Alexandria, LA. Adam John Breaux, 50 from Houma, LA, was last seen in August 1991 at a convenience store on Barrow St. www.mysteriesofthebayou.com Full Transcript Below Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (00:02): Hello, and welcome to another episode of mysteries of the Bayou I'm Roy today. We've got, uh, about three different cases. Uh, one, there are a couple of them have very, very little information and one has a quite a bit more than any story that we've covered so far. So go ahead. And, uh, we are the podcast that covers, um, you know, the murdered missing out of Southwest Louisiana and other places as well. We will do stories from around from around the United States. So if you have a case that is either cold or unsolved, you can please reach out to me at Roy at the mysteries of the, by you.com. Uh, I'd love to hear any case submissions, or if you have information on any case that we've presented, um, uh, previously friend relative law enforcement that did want to comment, be glad to, uh, talk to you about that as well. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (01:06): So let's just jump right in today. Uh, the first case is again, out of, uh, the repeats parish, uh, Alexandria area, the victim's name is Michael PSEO. It's spelled S a U N N. I think the French pronunciation is C. He was a 38 year old resident of Boyce, and he was last seen about 2:00 AM, September 25th, 1985. Uh, when his truck broke down, his body was later found by a jogger on the morning of September 26th, 1985. Uh, his partially nude body was located in a ditch on plantation drive near Hartwell road in Alexandria. He had been severely beaten. Uh, Mr. PSEO had a debilitating disease that made it hard for him to raise his arms over his head without experiencing severe pain. So there's a high level of doubt that he was able to put up much of a fight with whoever attacked him. It is also suspected that, um, he had a few pieces of unique jewelry that were on him that were never found. So it is speculated that the robbery could have been the motive or at least secondary once. Uh, they had killed him. They went ahead and took anything that he had a value off of him. If you have any information on this, please reach out to the repeat Sheriff's office or your local, uh, law enforcement agency or Crimestoppers with any more information. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (02:56): The, uh, the next one is one with no information whatsoever. This one I just happened to, uh, while I was doing some research on Mr. PSEO looked in, um, found this was a unsolved cold case off of the repeat sheriffs, uh, website, uh, the repeats Paris Sheriff's website. It, um, an unidentified body was found on April 12th, 1998. It was partially decomposed and was nude a white female. And she was found along the southbound ramp onto interstate 49 near the rule Lina Louisiana exit. That's about 20 miles North of Alexandria. Uh, the site is frequent in by 18 wheelers and campers that are passing through who often uses on ramp as an official us use me as an unofficial overnight rest stop. So anybody, uh, again, having any information on this, please reach out to, uh, the repeats parish, Sheriff's office, crime stoppers, uh, and just, uh, that'd be helpful. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (04:13): Any information that you have on this unidentified body that was found the next one, this is going to be one, we've got a little bit more information on than what we've had in the past. Uh, this is, uh, going to be out of home a Louisiana. The victim's name is Adam John bro. Uh, he was also known as AIJ and like I said, he was, uh, lived in Houma, Louisiana in terror, bone parish, his entire life. And he had also raised a family there. He was, uh, he was born in January, 1941. So he would have been 50 years old when he was last seen in August of 1991. And he would be approximately 79 years old today. Uh, December, 2020, uh, he is, was five 11, 160 pounds, Caucasian Brown hair, Brown eyes. And he did wear glasses. Occasionally. He does have a birthmark on his knee and a scar on his left eyebrow. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (05:28): He was last seen leaving the easy does it club, which is an alcohol support group around eight 30 on August the 28th, 1991, which is, uh, the club itself is located in the 120 block of Bernard street, about 9:00 PM. And I've read two stories on this. Uh, it's somewhere between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM. He bought a quarter milk at a local convenience store on Barrow. And that was, uh, the last time that he was seen his locked 1988, silver Ford tempo was found two days later in Jim Bowie park, which is close. Uh, again, two descriptions I'd read. This was a claw across the street from the club, or it was, uh, within about a quarter of a mile from the, um, easy does it club where he was last seen this, uh, Jim Bowie park is adjacent to the Bible black. So his fuel Gates page was near empty. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (06:33): And it's reported that he had made a $10 purchase of fuel the day that he went missing. Actually, it was earlier in the day, uh, you know, prior to him purchasing the milk, the clerk remembered him because he made a comment about the high price of fuel. Uh, there were no signs of foul play, his wallet, two checkbooks, and a bag of cash from the AA meeting were all found in the car. Now, the one of the checkbooks was his personal, the other was the, uh, a meetings checkbook, and he was the treasurer. So he should have been in possession of that cash anyway. So robbery didn't appear like the initial motive, or at least they didn't take the time to go through the entire car. They didn't know he had the money. The, uh, one of the bad things that had happened was it had been raining so hard when his car was found. It had to be moved to drier ground over at the police headquarters, before it could be searched there. Um, the heavy rain washed away, any hope of finding other forensic evidence that could have been surrounding the car on the car itself. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (07:51): Now, this is a strange incident, strange case because four people have come forward and claim to have seen him after his August. Um, 28th last siding when he was at the convenience store, buying the milk first was an acquaintance, uh, who he had, who has since passed away, but they claim to have seen him on August the 30th, outside another convenience store on a payphone said that he appeared, uh, very rumpled and unkept. And this was kind of an oddity for AIJ since he had worked in the clothing industry for over 30 years at a local Clothier there in Houma, the witness reported that there were three men in a red compact car who, uh, were parked in front of the convenience store, watching him and AIJ was watching them back nervously. Like, you know, he knew that they were watching every move that he made. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (08:54): So a second came forward who also knew AIJ and said that they saw him about eight miles out of town with three men and a compact car. He said that he waved at AIJ, but AIG did not wave back, which was very uncharacteristic for him. So he felt like that he was under some duress as well, and both descriptions, uh, describe three men in a compact car. So the third witness, uh, was about 30 miles from home, uh, who was not acquainted, uh, previously with J claims that he came up on her porch, uh, selling frozen fish and was dirty and reeked of alcohol. And he, she actually thought that he was a homeless man. Speaker 2 (09:45): Um, the Ford Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (09:48): Witness claims to have seen three men forced a fourth into a vehicle and drive away, but he couldn't positively identify AAJ as the man that was forced into the vehicle. Speaker 2 (10:04): Uh, it all Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (10:04): Shows it also should be noted that about two weeks after AIG disappeared, the police received a note that he had shot himself while drinking and his body had been dumped in a local Lake. Uh, the Lake was reportedly, uh, searched and there was no body found. It's also important to notice to note here that while we don't like to victim shame or really talk about the previous their previous life, because it really doesn't matter. They've been a victim of a horrific crime that, you know, we just want to help solve is that, um, Mr. Breaux was a recovering alcoholic and he had been sober for eight years and he was very active in the easy does it club, which is an alcohol support group, which was one of the places he was last seen. So, uh, because he worked at a Clothier, you know, his rumpled appearance was, uh, very uncharacteristic. What a couple described him as. And, uh, one of the witnesses said that he reeked of alcohol. So there are a couple of competing theories, um, on Mr. Bros case one is that, um, he was believed, has relapsed into drinking and just, uh, walked off. The other one is that maybe he had had, uh, some type of a memory loss event from his years and years of drinking. And then his family leaves that he was abducted. And so there's, um, Speaker 2 (11:43): There's Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (11:43): Enough evidence on both sides of this coin that is just really hard without somebody coming forward and either confessing or having, uh, a lot more information on the last few days of his life, uh, what may have actually happened to him. So again, uh, if you have any information on the AIG, bro, uh, please call the Homer police department or your local local law enforcement agency. I know these have been somewhat short episodes. The, um, you know, there just, hasn't been a lot of information wrapped around these cases, uh, this, uh, AIJ, uh, it's kind of a coincidence that the afternoon I was putting this together, normally don't leave the TV on, but just had happened to have TV on and on silent. And it came up that, uh, this was, uh, a featured episode on unsolved mystery. So I felt very compelled to, you know, not wait any longer to go ahead and get this out there. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (12:52): Maybe there's somebody that has some information. He does have a daughters that are still alive and, you know, we'd love to find out, you know, would love it if he was still alive somewhere. But if not, we'd love to just find out, you know, what actually happened to him. So again, thank you for your patronage and for listening. Um, you know, we will be putting together more cases, hopefully have some more detail and make these episodes a little bit longer as we get into the future. But just, uh, none of these cases, I don't, I don't think they deserve to not be covered just because, uh, there isn't a lot of information about them. So, you know, from time to time, we will have the shorter ones just to, you know, put these, um, put these unsolved cases out there, no matter how much information they have. Roy - Mysteries of The Bayou (13:45): Again, if you have information on any of these cases, reach out to the, um, jurisdiction that is investigating them, reach out to your law, local law enforcement or, uh, Crimestoppers, give them what you may have if, uh, you have, uh, other cases that you feel would be a good fit. Just give me a call. I mean, give me an email with the details. I'd be glad to look into it, see if we can featured on an upcoming episode. And, um, or as I've said before, if you're a friend relative or have more information on these cases that we could, uh, you know, maybe do a follow-up episode where we could give more information, you know, about the individuals and the last days of their lives. Uh, that would be great as well. Again, thanks for listening. This is Roy. We are mysteries of the buy. You can find us@wwwdotmysteriesofthebayou.com. We are on Facebook, Instagram, and, uh, we will put up a videotaped, uh, uh, this episode on, um, YouTube as well. So until next time, take care of each other.

Welcome! Everything is fine. The Good Place, la serie creada por Michael Schur, nos ha robado el corazón como pocas series han conseguido en la historia. La sitcom que NBC encargó dandole un cheque en blanco al creador de otras joyitas de la comedia televisiva moderna como Parks & Recreation o Brooklyn Nine-Nine llegó a Netflix sin hacer ruido en 2018 (2 años después de su estreno en la cadena americana) y, poco a poco, ha ido ganando adeptos y fans entre sus filas, hasta la llegada de su cuarta y última temporada en septiembre del año pasado. Hablar de esta serie es hablar de la vida y de la muerte, de lo bueno y de lo malo, de lo ético y moral… y del humor porque, como toda buena sitcom, las risas están más que aseguradas. Y es que la suma de todos estos elementos la convierten en una de las series más friki de la historia de la televisión, mucho más que otras, a priori, más dirigidas a ese público, así que, en esta semana del Orgullo Friki, nos hemos juntado, de nuevo, con Miguel Ángel Aijón, para hablar, como hicimos el año pasado con Juego de Tronos, de una serie que, sin la menor duda, acabará (si no lo está ya) en el Olimpo de las series hasta el final de los días. Si no sabéis de que estamos hablando, id a verla y volver cuando lo hayas hecho (porque HAY SPOILERS). Y si ya conocéis a Michael, Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, Jason y Janet, poneros cómodos y acompañadnos en este viaje al lado bueno en este especial Orgullo Friki que os hemos preparado. ¿Cuál es vuestro sabor favorito de yogur helado? ----

Se abre la sesión en la que repasamos algunos títulos importantes en ese género tan reputado como es el cine judicial. En este episodio: INTRO: Toni sigue con su cruzada personal (y busca un lado positivo), proponemos un menú del día ecléctico y hacemos nuestro primer índice en audio, que si estáis leyendo esto es redundante, porque, como veréis, viene... 0:11:48 - 12 ANGRY MEN (12 HOMBRES SIN PIEDAD): Cuestionamos la selección de jurado, lo refrescante de las películas que no dependen de su final y ¡os proponemos una quedada! 0:55:20 - WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION (TESTIGO DE CARGO): Una obra con un decorado de diez (y como la película la mejora), el enfrentamiento de distintas escuelas de interpretación, el principio de los "Spoiler Alerts" y el peso de una estrella. (FE DE ERRATAS I: Toni confunde Gloria Grahame y Gloria Swanson. Y justo al decir el nombre, estaba pensando "no confundas Grahame y Swanson...". Manda narices...) 1:33:56 - ANATOMY OF A MURDER (ANATOMÍA DE UN ASESINATO): Óscar nos da la clase "Saul Bass para Principiantes", directores vs. publicidad y lo delicado que es tratar a cualquier nivel el tema del abuso sexual en el arte. (FE DE ERRATAS II: el caso del PAN&SCAN al que Óscar se refiere fue con Sidney Pollack denunciando a la tv danesa por su "mutilación" de Los tres dias del condor, que uno no es la enciclopedia británica). 2:43:26- INHERIT THE WIND (LA HERENCIA DEL VIENTO): Una película que literalmente creó escuela, unas reflexiones sobre el fanatismo (no fílmico, para variar) y obra maestra vs. obra importante. 3:17:16- MY COUSIN VINNY (MI PRIMO VINNY): Óscar cae en un dato absolutamente increible (y uno más creible), un vínculo directo con el último episodio y el pasado de feligres de Toni. 3:51:55- A FEW GOOD MEN (ALGUNOS HOMBRES BUENOS): El juego más cinéfilo, la zona de confort de Tom Cruise (cuando no está corriendo) y el secundario de lujo entre secundarios de lujo: JT Walsh. 4:21:54- A TIME TO KILL (TIEMPO DE MATAR): Una manipulación necesaria (y el debate al respecto), cuando a Hollywood se le antoja lanzar estrellas y los límites de la justicia. Y, como novedad (y no os acostumbréis), cerramos con un resumen musical con producción y mezcla de Miguel Ángel Aijón. ¡Se levanta la sesión! --

A principios del siglo XXI, la mitad de Cine por los Codos decidió grabar un programa completa y absolutamente innecesario al que decidió llamar desayuno con replicantes (Básicamente porque se grabó una fría mañana de domingo en noviembre de 2019). Los replicantes Nexus-6 que participaron en la grabación de este programa fueron Óscar Villalba y Miguel Ángel Aijón (porque Toni tenía otros quereceres). Fue un programa corto (dentro de las duraciones estándar de Cine por los Codos) en el que decidieron meterse a comentar, analizar y criticar el universo de Blade Runner y su secuela Blade Runner 2049 desde la perspectiva personal y única que les daba sus mentes cibernéticas y sus ojos eléctricos. Una vez el programa estuvo en el aire, los oyentes tenían orden de disparar a matar hacia cualquier comentario que pudieran escuchar en este programa, algo que hizo que los participantes estuvieran proscritos en el mundo del podcast bajo pena de muerte (tampoco nos pasemos que esto no deja de ser una simple charla). A esto no se lo llamó ejecución, se lo llamó retiro... Básicamente porque pensamos retirarnos después de decir tantas tonterías pero si tú como nosotros, has visto cosas que nadie más creería y eres un pellejudo, un andy, un unicornio, o un simple ser humano buscando pasar un buen rato, tal vez disfrutes de este apasionado debate sobre una película que más de 30 años después de su estreno, aún sigue manteniendo abiertos debates, teorías, filias y fobias y que, habiendo llegado a la fecha que nos muestra su trama, sigue despertando interés más allá de Orión. Es hora de empezar. Descríbame con palabras sencillas los recuerdos que le vienen a la mente acerca de su madre... ---

Charla con el actor y guionista Miguel Ángel Aijón sobre el apasionante y peligroso mundo de las conspiraciones: cómo entrar y cómo salir de él. Música conspiranoica y ambiente inquietante bajo la lluvia y truenos del verano madrileño. Grandes sorpresas: hablamos de reptiles, del 11S, de poderes paranormales y de secretos del gobierno.
Mientras Óscar levanta el país, Toni se une al muy brillante (y desternillante) Miguel Ángel Aijón para ver cuatro películas que merecen ser (re?)descubiertas. Tanto, que Aijón ni las había visto. En el menú de hoy... 0:00 - INTRO: Filosofía vulgar, bautizamos un nuevo grupo y un constante del cine griego. 25:00 - FUNNY GAMES (1997): Las dos experiencias en cine más extremas de Toni, una experiencia fuera de cine muy extrema de Aijón y dos acomodadores muy distintos. 1:29:00 - LADRONES DE ANUNCIOS (LADRI DI SAPONETTE/THE ICICLE THIEF): La llegada de las televisiones privadas a España, saber de cine vs. amar el cine y una reflexión sobre Toy Story 4. 2:27:00 - A ROOM FOR ROMEO BRASS: La mejor saga de la historia (que probablemente no conozcas) e intentamos dar apuntes nuevos sobre la corrección política y el humor negro. 3:49:20 - ASTERIX & OBELIX: MISIÓN CLEOPATRA: El enemigo público número uno en Francia, el ocaso de Ford Fairlane y traducción de guiones: el trabajo maldito. 4:21:00 - OUTRO: Cine vs. Streaming.

Valar Morghulis... Sansacabó (y todos los chistes que os de la gana hacer), pero lo cierto es que hemos llegado al fin de una era. 9 años, 8 temporadas de absoluto disfrute, sufrimiento, teorías, dolor, gloria, amor y haterismo por doquier han convertido Juego de Tronos en historia de la televisión (y ya puestos del séptimo arte en general). Y no podíamos dejar pasar la ocasión de dar nuestra opinión al respecto. Porque eso parece que se haya convertido en lo importante: dar MI OPINIÓN... Por encima, incluso, de dar las gracias que es lo que, para empezar, creemos que habría que hacer, a George R.R. Martin, David Benioff y D.B. Weiss por darnos esta maravillosa e irrepetible serie. Así que hemos dejado reposar los eventos una semana y nos hemos traído un invitado que sabe cosas (no como John Nieve), el señor Miguel Ángel Aijón (@el_aijon) y nos hemos pasado la tarde del Dia del Orgullo Friki haciendo una de las cosas que más le gusta a los frikis: hablar de cosas frikis... Y antes de decir friki una vez más (¡maldita sea!) os invitamos a uniros a esta conversación sobre esta última temporada de Juego de Tronos, su cierre final y los momentos que más hemos disfrutado con ella, abuela de dragones incluida.

Paco Fox, el actor y guionista Miguel Ángel Aijón y un servidor, nos juntamos para hablar de la nueva película de "los compadres" Alfonso Sánchez y Alberto López, "El Mundo es Suyo", y de paso, hablamos también de su anterior OBRA MAESTRA, "El Mundo es Nuestro", y de la sátira en el cine español. Un buen plan para el veranito o incluso para el inviernito, pero mejor escucharlo ahora para poder ir a ver la película, que está en los cines...
Comenzamos Historisas con un personajón al que todos creemos conocer gracias al cine y que os va a sorprender. ¡Nada es lo que parece con Ricardo! Las Cruzadas, Saladino, sangre, honor, disparates, locuras. ¡Y un oscuro secreto! ¡De verdad vais a tener el valor de no escuchar esto? Nuria García, Francisco Molina, Miguel Ángel Aijón, Diego M. de Saura, Miguel Ángel Vázquez, Juanjo Ceballos y Lorenzo Gallardo nos lo pasamos pipa haciendo Historisas. ¿Quién se apunta a este fiestorro?
Paco Fox y el actor y escritor Miguel Ángel Aijón visitan TDC Podcast para tratar el espinoso tema de la piratería de contenidos, mundo en el que España es una potencia mundial. Trataremos la historia de la piratería de contenidos en nuestro país, así como el estado actual de la misma, haciendo especial hincapié en las ediciones piratas "alegales" (que son ilegales realmente) que se venden o han vendido en grandes superficies sin tener los derechos. También intentaremos responder el debate de piratería SÍ o NO desde un punto de vista más profundo: hablaramos de autores y editores, de productoras y creadores, de manteros, de acceso a la cultura, de redes p2p... Hablamos y decimos muchas cosas. Porque nosotros, cuando nos tiramos al ruedo, lo hacemos con todas las consecuencias... Y alguna que otra hostia.

AIJでは、企業から運用を委託された投資顧問が、年金資金の大半を消失した事件がありました。 オリンパスの一件でもそうですが、元野村の人達がいい意味でも悪い意味でも活躍しています。 株式のインデックス投資で、デリバティブの逆張りという方法を使って、千数百億円を失ったようです。 ITM証券の西村社長は、この件に関しては何も知らなかったと言っています。 AIJ投資顧問の高橋さんという女性も、月収300-400万円もらっておきながら、私は浅川社長の単なるアシスタントで何も知らなかったなんて言っています。 今回の事件は、明らかに金融商品取引法(金商法)違反ですし、彼らは預かったお金を失ったことを把握しながら顧客に嘘の報告書を提出するなど詐欺を働いているように見えますが、浅川社長を含め、本人たちは詐欺のつもりはなかったと主張しています。 しかし、少なくとも浅川社長は、人の金を千数百億円失くした主たる責任者として刑罰の対象になると思います。 さまざまな人がお金を失うことになりましたが、特に中小企業の厚生年金基金を預けていた方々の被害には甚大なものがありました。 北関東自動車整備や栃木県石油業、甲信越印刷工業、岐阜県石油業などです。 彼らは、株式投資のことをよくわからないまま、結果としてハイリスクなことに手を出してしまっていたわけです。 AIJは、5.5パーセントの利回りを保証すると謳っていましたが、落ち着いて考えれば、これは達成不可能な値です。 しかしかなり投資のことをよくわかっている人でも混乱するような話を素人がわかるわけはありません。 結局は、増えるどころか減ってしまい、ついにはなくなってしまいました。 政府に預けている年金についても似たような状態です。 無理やりお金をとられて、年々失くされていっています。 もともと厚生労働省や社保庁にいた人たちは投資については素人なのですが、厚生年金基金に天下りして大金の運用を任され、自分では5.5%の利回りを達成できないので、できると主張する他の人に運用を委託しては騙されてお金を失っていくわけです。 こうした事態に対応するには、自己防衛をするほかありません。 自分の分は自分で貯める、というのが社会常識となってきています。 国民年金を支払う若い人たちも減ってきているようです。 今日言いたいことは、何をしているかわからない資金運用にお金を出すな、ということです。 今回のような事件は、過去にも何度も起こっています。 日本の金融資産の利回り平均1パーセントですので、そもそも5パーセントも儲かるなど、そんなおいしい話はないと思ってください。
