"Accepter la peur du vide" (vidéo disponible ici)Je reçois Vincent Klingbeil : serial entrepreneur - mais aussi un confrère dans les médias Tech.Sauf que lui est passé de 0 à 320 millions de chiffres d'affaires avec EDG, en 5 ans.Il a cofondé European Digital Group pour accompagner les grandes entreprises et ETI dans leur transition numérique.Mais avant ça il était avocat, puis il a planté sa première boîte malgré de très beaux chiffres.Ce qui m'a fasciné chez Vincent, c'est sa vision moderne de l'entrepreneuriat, où l'humain prime sur tout.Pour lui, le succès repose sur la capacité à fédérer une équipe autour de valeurs communes, de l'intégrité et de l'énergie, et surtout à transformer les échecs en sources d'apprentissage.On parle de la différence entre un entrepreneur et un patron, des talents et du business du conseil, mais aussi de leadership, de suivre son "gut feeling" et l'importance qu'il accorde au "care leadership".Oubliez pas de vous abonner (si c'est pas déjà fait

Today, I'm talking to Andy Sutton, GM of Data and AI at Endeavour Group, Australia's largest liquor and hospitality company. In this episode, Andy—who is also a member of the Data Product Leadership Community (DPLC)—shares his journey from traditional, functional analytics to a product-led approach that drives their mission to leverage data and personalization to build the “Spotify for wines.” This shift has greatly transformed how Endeavour's digital and data teams work together, and Andy explains how their advanced analytics work has paid off in terms of the company's value and profitability.     You'll learn about the often overlooked importance of relationships in a data-driven world, and how Andy sees the importance of understanding how users do their job in the wild (with and without your product(s) in hand). Earlier this year, Andy also gave the DPLC community a deeper look at how they brew data products at EDG, and that recording is available to our members in the archive.   We covered: What it was like at EDG before Andy started adopting a producty approach to data products and how things have now changed (1:52) The moment that caused Andy to change how his team was building analytics solutions (3:42) The amount of financial value that Andy's increased with his scaling team as a result of their data product work (5:19) How Andy and Endeavour use personalization to help build “the Spotify of wine” (9:15) What the team under Andy required in order to make the transition to being product-led (10:27) The successes seen by Endeavour through the digital and data teams' working relationship (14:04) What data product management looks like for Andy's team (18:45) How Andy and his team find solutions to  bridging the adoption gap (20:53) The importance of exposure time to end users for the adoption of a data product (23:43) How talking to the pub staff at EDG's bars and restaurants helps his team build better data products (27:04) What Andy loves about working for Endeavour Group (32:25) What Andy would change if he could rewind back to 2022 and do it all over (34:55) Final thoughts (38:25)     Quotes from Today's Episode “I think the biggest thing is the value we unlock in terms of incremental dollars, right? I've not worked in analytics team before where we've been able to deliver a measurable value…. So, we're actually—in theory—we're becoming a profit center for the organization, not just a cost center. And so, there's kind of one key metric. The second one, we do measure the voice of the team and how engaged our team are, and that's on an upward trend since we moved to the new operating model, too. We also measure [a type of] “voice of partner” score [and] get something like a 4.1 out of 5 on that scale. Those are probably the three biggest ones: we're putting value in, and we're delivering products, I guess, our internal team wants to use, and we are building an enthused team at the same time.” - Andy Sutton (16:18) “ You can put an [unfinished] product in front of an end customer, and they will give you quality feedback that you can then iterate on quickly. You can do that with an internal team, but you'll lose credibility. Internal teams hold their analytics colleagues to a higher standard than the external customers. We're trying to change how people do their roles. People feel very passionate about the roles they do, and how they do them, and what they bring to that role. We're trying to build some of that into products. It requires probably more design consideration than I'd anticipated, and we're still bringing in more designers to help us move closer to the start line.'” - Andy Sutton (19:25) “ [Customer research] is becoming critical in terms of the products we're building. You're building a product, a set of products, or a process for an operations team. In our context, an operations team can mean a team of people who run a pub. It's not just about convincing me, my product managers, or my data scientists that you need research; we want to take some of the resources out of running that bar for a period of time because we want to spend time with [the pub staff] watching, understanding, and researching. We've learned some of these things along the way… we've earned the trust, we've earned that seat at the table, and so we can have those conversations. It's not trivial to get people to say, ‘I'll give you a day-long workshop, or give you my team off of running a restaurant and a bar for the day so that they can spend time with you, and so you can understand our processes.'” -  Andy Sutton (24:42) “ I think what is very particular to pubs is the importance of the interaction between the customer and the person serving the customer. [Pubs] are about the connections between the staff and the customer, and you don't get any of that if you're just looking at things from a pure data perspective… You don't see the [relationships between pub staff and customer] in the [data], so how do you capture some of that in your product? It's about understanding the context of the data, not just the data itself.” - Andy Sutton (28:15) “Every winery, every wine grower, every wine has got a story. These conversations [and relationships] are almost natural in our business. Our CEO started work on the shop floor in one of our stores 30 years ago. That kind of relationship stuff percolates through the organization. Having these conversations around the customer and internal stakeholders in the context of data feels a lot easier because storytelling and relationships are the way we get things done. An analytics team may get frustrated with people who can't understand data, but it's [the analytics team's job] to help bridge that gap.” - Andy Sutton (32:34)     Links Referenced LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andysutton/  Endeavour Group: https://www.endeavourgroup.com.au/    Data Product Leadership Community https://designingforanalytics.com/community

In this episode, we break down the first two action-packed days of the "20 in 23 Redemption Weekend." From Thursday's kickoff event, OTH trivia, to Friday's EDG screening and Red Bedroom Records concert, we share our experiences and favorite moments of this epic gathering. Stay tuned for more episodes on the rest of the weekend!

Navigating Unprecedented Challenges The COVID-19 pandemic introduced a myriad set of challenges, upending the traditional norms and necessitating an urgent pivot towards empathetic leadership. Higher education, a particularly affected sector, had to swiftly evolve, fostering an environment where staff felt supported amidst the ensuing chaos. Embodying Transparency and Support Amy Hecht from FSU and Matt Imboden of Wake Forest University underline the importance of transparent communication and authentic actions from leaders. Through initiatives like FSU's Culture and People program, leadership at these institutions exemplified the care and long-term investment in their staff's career trajectories. Similarly, David Chao from the University of Pittsburgh highlighted a newfound focus on self-care, crucial for maintaining a balanced support system for students. Spaces for Grief and Adaptation Andy Wiegert at Washington University and Rachael Amaro of Cal State Fullerton share the vital role that organized grief spaces and an open line for support can play in sustaining staff well-being in times of loss. Melinda Stoops from Boston College emphasizes how institutional efforts to secure staff job assurance during such periods is a testament to caring leadership. Professional Development and Well-being Investment in professional growth and well-being, as recounted by Jackie Yoon from Harvard, ensures that employees feel valued and are more likely to contribute positively. The approach by Shatera Davis's leadership at Northeastern in Seattle during the pandemic harmonizes with this by preserving jobs and maintaining a connected community despite quarantine. Leading by Example The narrative of Leanna Fenneberg from Duquesne University describes leading staff reductions with care, prioritizing a loving environment even during departures. Moreover, Darlene Robinson of Seton Hall University speaks to the strategic support provided by listening leaders who aid employees during career transitions.   TRANSCRIPT Dr. Jill Creighton [00:00:01]: Welcome to student affairs voices from the field, the podcast where we share your student affairs stories from fresh perspectives to seasoned experts. This is season 10, continuing our season 9 theme of On Transitions in Student Affairs. This podcast is brought to you by NASPA, and I'm doctor Jill Creighton. She, her, hers, your essay voices from the field host. Hey, essay voices. Welcome to our second of 3 bonus episodes from the annual conference. Chris and I were able to move about the conference and talk to a couple dozen of you about your thoughts on the various foci areas. Today's question will focus on the 2nd conference focus area, which was Care in Chaos. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:00:42]: And the question we asked you was can you share an example of a time or a hope when a supervisor or organization provided effective care and support to employees during times of significant change or uncertainty in their careers. A lot of you had some really wonderful examples of how your organization Acquanetta Pinkard [00:01:07]: I'm Acquanetta Pinkard. I am from Montgomery, Alabama. I work for Alabama State University and I am a trio professional for 23 years. I believe that my supervisor as well as my campus have been very conscious of caring for the employees, giving us what we have need of whether that's time off, whether that's just opportunities to take a minute break, areas on campus where we could take minute breaks, and also providing just that continuum of care where we feel the liberty to be able to talk. So I think that that's what I've experienced. Taylor Cain [00:01:45]: I'm Taylor Cain. I work at the University of Georgia and serve as the director of engagement leadership and service there. Well, I mean, the one that comes most comes to mind first, most recently we had, unfortunately, 2 deaths on our campus. 1 of a former student and one of a current student. And while all of us were trying to spring into action to figure out how to care for students, in the midst of that, I was really impressed by the institution trying to find also ways to support those who were caring for those students. Our vice president for student affairs, who is newer to her role but not to our institution, made really intentional efforts to reach out to folks via email or text or when she saw them to take the time to show appreciation and care for the work that they were doing, recognizing the importance of it, but also encouraging folks to take care of themselves. And I think little acts like that go much further than some people may realize. And I think it meant the world to the staff who were doing the work. In times of crisis or difficult issues on campus, it's always really nice, I think, to have that recognition and affirmation of you're doing a great job and I'm right here beside you. But don't forget to take care of yourself too. Adrienne White [00:03:01]: I'm doctor Adrienne White. I'm the director of student success coaching at George Mason University, and I use sheher pronouns. I think my supervisor during COVID was remarkable in terms of how she supported us during certain times. And personally, during COVID, my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. And so on top of dealing with personal things, I'm now having to also grapple with how am I supporting my team at the same time. But then, also, how am I supporting myself during all of this and putting well-being at the forefront of our work. And I was extremely blessed to have a supervisor that allowed me the autonomy to create well-being opportunities for my team, but also well-being opportunities that worked for me as well because I was my mother's primary caretaker. And so, I adjusted my schedule. Adrienne White [00:03:53]: I went on 4:10 hour workday schedule because I needed to go to all a lot of doctor's appointments and be there with her during her treatment, and that was a significant moment in my life, in my career. And having the support of my supervisor and knowing that my supervisor has my back, right, knowing that my supervisor supports the decisions I need to make to take care of myself and to my team, you just can't put a number on that. It's incredibly important and has completely transformed my thought process and my leadership as well. Susan Hua [00:04:29]: Hi. My name is Susan Hua. I use sheher pronouns, and I'm the director of diversity, equity, inclusion at the Community College of Aurora, which is an MSI HSI just outside of Denver, Colorado. A hope that I have for supervisors or organizations to provide effective care and support to employees is to really just be intentional about how they are mentoring and having conversations with their employees during times of uncertainty during their careers. I think it's helpful to understand and really holistically look at your employees instead of just seeing them as one role or one fraction of your department, and to really understand that they have lives outside of the field as well, and to understand how to support their whole selves in the work journey that they have. Aileen Hentz [00:05:09]: My name is Aileen Hentz. I'm at the University of Maryland as the program director of academic and student services. I think constant communication was very important during times, especially when we're looking at budget cuts, furloughs, when we're looking at possible changing in policy that could have an impact on our office or our jobs. Just not being left in the dark was incredibly important, I think. So that kinda constant communication, opening things up. I loved when my supervisor was like, you know, I'm not supposed to tell you all this, but I'm gonna tell you anyway because I feel like you need to know. And that was really helpful for me when we were facing some of those uncertainties. Stephen Rice [00:05:49]: Stephen Rice, director of the Office of Community Expectations at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. I've been very fortunate to have a lot of supervisors who really take the time to get to know me and provide me with the resources and support. And so when tough times happen, they're able to really provide me with that information that I need. My current supervisor, Darren, always takes the time out to really talk to me about different cases and different situations. When things go awry, cause I work in student conduct, really provides that support that I need for those of things. And as an effect of that, I'm able to do that for the team that I supervise of 6 individuals to really help them in their growth through or different times and provide them support. And it goes with 1 on 1 conversations, getting to know who they are, what they're passionate about, understanding their strengths, tapping into those strengths, seeing things that they may not see about themselves, and really getting them to to do those different things and challenging support them in the way so they are very effective, in what they do. And as a result, they have better tools when they're looking for the next step that they're able to move forward with it. Amy Adam [00:06:47]: Hi. This is Amy Adam, and I am from the University of Missouri in Columbia. I have been a student services support manager for 20 years serving graduate students. I've been so, so lucky in my 20 years with supervisors and organizations. I work in the School of Information Science and Learning Technologies. So we have mostly distant students, but all of the faculty and staff are located in the same building. Really, my first supervisor, doctor John Wedman, was one of a kind. He passed away about 9 years ago, but he really was that mentor to get me into student services and really just encouraged me to advocate for myself, advocate for my students, and to build the relationship with faculty, but to remember not to let them take advantage of me and the willingness that I have to do work. So, really, just making sure that I keep students first and foremost in my goal for my job has been the biggest thing. And really even through COVID, my current department chair has been amazing with flex time and just making sure that we take time for ourselves. You can't just sit at your desk all day. You've gotta get out, gotta get water, go take a break, go play with your dog. So I just feel very lucky that I've had that type of relationships with my supervisors. Stephanie Cochrane [00:08:14]: Hi. I'm Stephanie Cochrane. I'm the director of student services at Northeastern University in Toronto. I'm here for NASPA for just the Sunday pre conference around graduate students. That's a great question. I think COVID created a huge shift in our entire world and our way of thinking about student support, and our dean at the Toronto campus has been really effectively caring for our our employees as well as our students, thinking about hiring the correct resources, asking for input from the people who are working there and dealing with the students on a daily basis to see what our students need and keeping that student centered mindset at all times. Amy Hecht [00:08:52]: Hi. My name is Amy Hecht. I'm the vice president for student affairs at Florida State University. I've been there 7 years now. At Florida State, we've launched a new position and program called Culture and People, and it's really about helping people feel at home in Tallahassee where FSU is located, connecting to other people outside their division, celebrating people, and rewarding them, and also developing them, coaching them, and that's been very helpful for people to feel supported and valued, but also that somebody cares about their long term career trajectory. Shatera Davis [00:09:32]: Hi. My name is Shaterra Davis. I use sheher pronouns. I'm the director of student affairs at Northeastern in Seattle. I think the most recent time and then the most impactful time was during the pandemic when I worked in housing before and everyone thought that they wouldn't have a job because our students were moving out. And so our leadership did a really great job of saying this is where we're at. I'm being transparent on what the leadership conversations were and then ultimately giving us opportunities to do other work besides being, like, resident directors in order to keep our jobs and keep our housing during that time. And then doing the most to make sure that we all felt community because while we were having to quarantine, we felt that we were all by ourselves. None of us have roommates, and so being intentionally using the spaces and the meetings we had to, like, build communities, check-in, and still just being transparent on where we're at and, like, how we're supporting students, but also how we're supporting ourselves during that time. Andy Wiegert [00:10:25]: I am Andy Wiegert, Director of Graduate Student Affairs, Arts and Sciences, Washington University in Saint Louis. Gosh. Yeah. I mean, we've kind of seen a lot in our time. Obviously, having gone through COVID is the one that stands out the most, but we've also recently experienced things like, you know, a tragic death of a student. And that's really difficult because you have administrators who are both trying to support students, but at the same time are also experiencing their own grief and trauma. And so it really has been neat to see some of our leaders recognize that, acknowledge that, and create spaces not just for our students to grieve, but also for our staff, our faculty, and support folks. Scott Peska [00:11:10]: Hi. Scott Peska, Waubonsee Community College, assistant provost of student services. I would say that this was a few years back, quite a few years back when I worked in res life, but I recall when 911 took place right there was some real challenge with direction during that time and really giving staff the space to not only help their students go through and kind of process, but to give us time to process individually was really important. And to really think about you're gonna deal with a lot of crisis management in higher education. And so are you prepared for this? You need to get yourself in a space to do that. And so being able to give us time to actually give us strategies, talk to people that were crisis managers and kinda looking at preparing that, that was helpful. Dilna Cama [00:11:53]: Dilna Cama. I am a director within student life at the Ohio State University, and I am part of the off campus and commuter knowledge community. My most recent supervisor, he did our organization was down to 2 of us, and we were essentially scratching everything and building a start up. And his support and the way he really reminded me we can do anything, we can't do everything. And that's something I remind myself each and every day. And so really keep making sure that I'm focused on what is most important has really allowed me to remain positive. And definitely the way in which he provided support, I think, was very notable. Sabina Kapoor [00:12:42]: My name is Sabina Kapoor, and I'm currently a a full time doctoral student with Capella University. I spent over 20 years in higher education as a staff within student affairs, student success, and academic affairs. So as I progressed in my career, I've focused more on staff so that they can better serve students. And I wanna go in deep with that, so that's why I'm pursuing the doctorate in IO Psychology because I wanna look at the relationship between the organization and the employee. What comes to mind is a few, the pandemic. During that time, a lot of universities were downsizing, and my university that I was at was no exception. And so it was really interesting because it was unprecedented in how many people were part of a workforce reduction. And so how the university supported people at that time, it was interesting. Sabina Kapoor [00:13:31]: I think the university really didn't know how to. And then you had the people that stayed that weren't, let go. And so I felt like they had survivor's remorse, and so it's real interesting. And so I think now is something hopefully, that won't happen again to that extent, not just my previous university, but other universities and colleges as well. But if it did, I think institutions know now how to handle that better and have that human touch. Carlie Weaver [00:14:01]: Hello. I am Carlie Weaver with Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. I'm a programs coordinator for the student activities in Union office. I'm not really sure how to answer that because I do feel like I don't really find myself being uncertain in my career because my supervisor, Kristen Merchant, hurt you, and Kristen Lloyd are very, very supportive in helping me to find my footing in my own voice and my role. Roxanne Wright Watson [00:14:31]: Hi. My name is Roxanne Wright Watson. I'm from Lehigh Carbon Community College in Pennsylvania, and I'm happy to be here. I think my direct supervisor, my dean, is supportive of what we do in the classroom, how we help our students. And in particular, a situation that I can recall is during COVID. During COVID, I think they were supportive to us in terms of having to just switch from face to face classes to online classes. The support was there. The support in getting things to instructors, supervisors did and how they helped us, the supervisors did and how they helped us as faculty. Yes. Carla Ortega Santori [00:15:27]: My name is Carla Ortega Santori. I work at Rice University. I am the strategic initiatives manager at the Door Institute For New Leaders at Rice University, and my job is really about helping students elevate their leadership capacity and to also elevate the capacity of all campuses to do really great leader developments in education. I think everyone went through significant changes in 2020. Obviously, our director and leader was really great about embracing that level of uncertainty and creating a safe space for everyone to also attend to their needs, be they professional or personal. Another big, I think, time of uncertainty or significant change was when we changed directors, and I think both the outgoing and incoming directors were really great at defining our roles and clarifying expectations really clearly, so that was really helpful. Laying out a vision and also being okay with if we needed to change that vision or significantly alter it to accommodate our current needs was also really helpful. Rachael Amaro [00:16:41]: I'm Rachael Amaro. I'm the admissions and academic advisor for the Department of Educational Leadership within the College of Education at Cal State Fullerton. I think a good example of that is the faculty who's the director of our EDD program. We had a really rough patch in our department, you know, between the faculty. The faculty were having issues with each other, which of course, the students pick up on, everybody picks up on. It makes the whole environment a little challenging, but my EDG director was always very level headed and very understanding and always open to saying, hey, if there's something going on, like, please let me know, like, don't, you know, don't keep things. It's important that I know what's happening so that we can all figure out what is going on and how everybody's feeling, at least in the office side, because the fact are gonna be themselves. They were having some issues with each other. Rachael Amaro [00:17:29]: The staff, obviously, we were okay with each other, but obviously it all affects everything, so I really appreciated her always being so confident and always so caring and open, and always checking in and making sure we were doing okay when we had some rough times with our own leadership within our department, she was always the one person that we knew we could count on. And, you know, she's the one person that asks how you're doing, Jess, how your parents are doing. It's just those simple acts make a big difference. Christine Wilson [00:17:59]: I'm Christine Wilson. I am in student affairs at UCLA. I have two roles. 1 is as the executive director for academic partnerships and the other is the program director for our director for our masters in student affairs program. I saw the leadership of our student affairs organization exhibit tremendous humility and vulnerability directly after the pandemic when there had been some things that were not seen that impacted fairly large number of staff, and they were unseen largely because of the pandemic. It was much harder to get a pulse on what was happening, and what was happening did impact a lot of people. And in order to heal that, our leadership really had to show tremendous humility and vulnerability. And the fact that they did that allowed the healing to begin to happen. And a year later, the organization was healthier, even maybe a little better for what they've learned. Olivia Ruggieri [00:18:53]: Hi there. My name is Olivia Ruggieri. I'm the associate director of administration operations for Northeastern University Seattle campus. I grew up in Pennsylvania, went to college in Florida, and came out here in 2013, but I've been working for the university since since 2018. I would say that right now, there's a big shift towards, not centralization, but standardization of policies across our network of campuses. And so while for folks, at my level, like the ops leads on our campuses, we already do a lot of coordination between each other. We know each other well. But for the folks on our teams, like our operation specialists, our event specialists, they had not yet built their network with each other. Olivia Ruggieri [00:19:34]: And so, coming out of our Vancouver campus, someone named Kayla organized a, mentoring, like, work group for all of those folks, which has been really amazing. So now, folks who are new to the org are mentored by folks who have been here a little bit longer. Those folks are mentored by people that whose roles they might be interested in the future, and I've found that this has helped some of that standardization that's coming across all of our campuses, and we're gonna be well equipped for the future. Christle Foster [00:20:05]: Hi. My name is Christle Foster and I'm from Chesapeake College located on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in Y Mills. I'm gonna point to the pandemic since it's so recent and I will say that our leadership at Chesapeake was very responsive and one of the things that they definitely emphasized was care. Self care as well as caring for our students and I've seen that change even when we returned to the college. With the CARES funds that we have, a lot of it was allocated to students who are going through mental health challenges as well as financial challenges, food insecurity, housing insecurity, and there was a lot of response in which those funds were put to, trying to retain those students and also help those students over those challenges. Nathalie Waite Brown [00:20:46]: My name is Nathalie Waite Brown. I am the assistant dean of students and director for graduate student life at Stevens Institute of Technology located in Hoboken, New Jersey. From a personal perspective, the institution that I worked at when I joined a few years following, we had a new president that came to the institution, and it was during a time where there was a lot of turmoil. And I believe that the leadership that remained really was committed to retaining staff and faculty in a way that was intentional and purposeful, not just for our students, but also for the climate of the employees and welcoming and supporting the new president. And that's something that's been impactful in my career. That was 11 years ago, and it it's still something that resonates with me. Dae'lyn Do [00:21:28]: My name's Dae'lyn Do. I use sheher pronouns, and I am the associate director for the Women in Science and Engineering Residence Program at the University of Michigan, and I am coming into the position of the WISA CASE co chair. I mean, I have been lucky to have some really great supervisors in my career and definitely supervisors who focus on that work life balance and really making sure that they're taking care of their employees and not giving them time for themselves when they've had like a high busy time. Making sure that we're building in those days and those breaks for ourselves, whether it's in the day to day or whether it's in the busier seasons. I feel like I have been really lucky to rely on some great supervisors who just really prioritize that and know that we are workers outside of we're people outside of our jobs too. Natalie DeRosa [00:22:18]: So my name is Natalie DeRosa and I'm from Lehigh Carbon Community College in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania. So my supervisor has been an amazing support for me personally when some of my programming had the plug bolt on it this year, and being that space where I can just grieve that that happened, that meant a lot to me. And also, we're still looking for ways to bring back the programming. I work at a community college, so sustaining programming is always a challenge for us. So being able to talk to my supervisor about it and have her be just right there as we're experiencing it has lended a lot of support to me professionally. Dan Volchek [00:22:58]: Dan Volchek, assistant dean of student success at Harvard Griffin Grad School of Arts and Sciences. My relationship with expect that and hope that in a supervisor. So as we're going through changes and uncertainty, both professionally in the career and at the institution, they were working as a team and they were talking. And sometimes that has happened and sometimes that hasn't, but that's a very important way to get through when issues come up. Vaughn Calhoun [00:23:31]: Vaughn Calhoun, Seton Hall University, hehim. I think, interestingly, you know, coming out of the pandemic, we were so used to being at home for 2 years and then coming back to campus with the thought of we're gonna be there a 100% of the time when literally our lives have readjusted based on on the pandemic. So one thing I advocated for was a work from home policy. We didn't have one across the institution. It was based on each department. So putting together a proposal, which was then accepted by our vice president and saying that, you know, this is what we can do. So that, I think, was really powerful because our staff knew and got the message that our executive administrators care. Darlene Robinson [00:24:14]: My name is Darlene Robinson. I'm the RISE general and director for Seton Hall University. I can speak to that in a sense that being that I'm just moving in to this career, I spent over 15 years in the financial aid department, and I just moved over to student services. And with this move, the supervisor that I currently have now has been very strategic in listening to me as a person, asking questions of how and what I need, and how he can be of service as well as influence. Whatever it is that I need to do my job in the Miguel Angel Hernandez [00:24:59]: Hello. My name is Miguel Angel Hernandez. I am the associate vice president and dean of students at San Francisco State University. I have been very fortunate as a individual to have had amazing mentors, supervisors, sponsors throughout my career. Faculty members that have really taught me, guided me, coached me at different aspects of my career. And so when I think about a specific time, the easy place for me is thinking about what we as a community, as a planet, have navigated these last 4 plus years of COVID through that particular global crisis. I think about the patience, the openness, the modeling that I saw from supervisors, from organizational leaders related to bringing people in, leaning in to the moment, to what individuals needed, and really giving us the capacity to rethink how we approach work, life, care, concern for each other and for the students that we serve. And so one of the things that I work very hard to do is not to romanticize that global crisis, but I am trying to make sure that I don't forget the lessons that were learned from the flexibility, the love, and the care that we demonstrated to each other to be able to navigate that time and that space.  And so that would be something that I saw both from supervisors and from organizations. I hope that we continue to allow those experiences to be centered as we move forward in our work. David Chao [00:26:29]: Hello. My name is David Chow. My pronouns are hehim. I serve as the director of IT for student affairs at the University of Pittsburgh, and I'm also the chair of the technology knowledge community. For sure during COVID, I think everyone became so much more attentive towards self care. And I'm not even just in higher education, I feel just like in the workplace in general, everyone just seemed to be working harder than their parents type mentality. And I think since then we've understood about the balance that, you know, we can't assist our students and serve them if we don't take care of ourselves as well. And some of the advice we give to them, we should probably take as well. Melinda Stoops [00:27:01]: Hi. I am Melinda Stoops. I serve as the associate vice president for student health and wellness at Boston College. In terms of looking at times when there's been significant change or and uncertainty in everyone's life. And in higher education, there were just all of us going home for periods of times and uncertainty in what our roles were in specific moments when everyone's off campus. How are our roles different, and what can we do to contribute, and what are we needed to do to contribute? And I feel like that that was a time where there was a lot of uncertainty, and I think one thing I appreciated about that was my institution's stance of there's a lot of uncertainty, but we are really going to make a real point to care for our employees during this time. Now with that said, again, we were off campus, so caring can show up in different ways. But feeling like they were like, we are concerned about employees. We wanna make sure that you all are healthy, that you all know that your job is secure, and just that really that in and of itself went a long way. And it felt so fortunate because I know not everyone was in that same position, and I felt very privileged to be able to receive that support from my employer. I know that my colleagues on my campus were as well. Derek Grubb [00:28:26]: Derek Grubb, Dean of Enrollment Management for Red Rocks Community College in Colorado. I've been fortunate to have a lot of supervisors and colleagues I think that I've learned from how to be effective, but one more recently was past president. Really taught me the value valuing people, celebrating even the small wins, and really how that promoted a environment of caring, great place to work mindset. Matt Imboden [00:28:50]: My name is Matt Imboden. I use the he, him pronouns. I serve as the chief student services officer in the School of Business at Wake Forest University in North Carolina. And, for the past few years, I've also been chairing the administrators and graduate and professional student services knowledge community for NASPA. So I'm sure there'll be some point at which my mind doesn't completely shift to the COVID experience when somebody asked this kind of a question, but I am not at that point yet. So my mind as you were speaking, Chris, went immediately to COVID as a time that I think revealed leadership or lack thereof depending on the experience. But that's exactly one of those stressors I just talked about in terms of uncertainty that you were talking about because my goodness. I remember feeling particularly impacted when people walk the walk and just didn't talk the talk of either high level administrators who personally sacrificed in the face of budget cuts to touch their own compensation or to really demonstrate not just sort of with words, but showed me that they're in this too and that makes you want to give as an individual and I think role model that for other people on your campus. And so that stands out for me of throughout all that COVID uncertainty when all of us were pulling out the depths of our leadership ability and administrative capabilities just to see people who, went beyond the talk and really walked the walk of leadership. Evette Castillo Clark [00:30:01]: Evette Castillo Clark, vice president for student life and dean of students at Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Oregon. I'll think of myself in this as a supervisor. When you can't give or when I can't give the gift of money, I know that in times of need or support to my team, I'm gonna give the gift of time. So when I look at them, if my team or my staff are exhausted, I always talk to them about tag in and tag out. If you need the time or you need the break, me as a supervisor, I have to be very understanding of that. If you can't always offer additional monies for stipend, you gotta give the gift of time. And you have to understand that people need to regroup, and people need people need time to refuel and regain their energy. So in times like this, campus climate issues, post pandemic breaks are needed, and I think I also have to model that as well. Madeline Frisk [00:30:56]: I started this job at Portland State in 2021, was working remotely up until the fall term. I started in the spring term at our institution, so navigating that shift from remote to in person and also having colleagues that I'd basically just met in person was definitely a difficult time for me, but my boss was very supportive and everyone was very welcoming. I found a community both with our union on campus as well as with my co workers and boss, and that was a great experience being initiated into a really wonderful community at Portland State. Gene Zdziarski [00:31:32]: This is Gene Jarski. I'm vice president for student affairs at DePaul University.  I can think of a couple of situations. I will go back 25 years to Texas A&M University when I was a young staff member there, and we had an unfortunate tragedy of our traditional bonfire collapsing. And, 12 individuals were killed and 27 others were seriously injured. And the amount of attention and care that was taken by the institution beginning with the president who came in and basically said to all of us who were trying to respond and trying to work with the situation, I don't care how much it costs. I don't I want you to do the right thing. I want you to do whatever it takes to take care of people, and that was such a reassuring thing as you're trying to manage through such a challenging time, and so, for me, that was a significant moment. Gene Zdziarski [00:32:36]: I also had one when I was at DePaul University, and we had a speaker come to campus that really, disrupted the campus community tremendously. I had actually recommended to the president at that time that being a private institution, we could make some decisions about whether or not this speaker really should come to campus. And he said at the moment, no. I think we need to have a process, a plan for that, but we're not in that place right now. I think we need to go ahead and do this. After it happened and there was a lot of backlash from the campus community, he stood by me the entire time and worked with me in meeting with all the different constituencies, stakeholders, and student groups to really listen, hear people out, and then help us begin to build a plan for how we would address that in the future, and that was pretty significant to me. Lyza Liriano [00:33:22]: Hello. My name is Lyza Liriano. I currently serve as an area coordinator at DePaul University in housing and residence Life. Originally, I am from Brooklyn, New York. Yes. So prior to my role at DePaul, I worked at the University of South Florida, Tampa, and this was only about 2 years ago when there was a lot of political change happening in Florida, and impacted my identities as a queer woman of color. I didn't feel safe being in Florida, but my supervisors at the University of South Florida specifically provided me with hope knowing that I would be safe at my institution, and not only that, that I could still be there for my students. No matter what legislation was saying, we still wanted to build that community and make sure that our students really felt like their needs were being heard. And so I felt that as a professional, and we kind of instilled it to all of our student body as well. So although I did end up leaving, I left knowing that my students were in great hands. Jackie Cetera [00:34:24]: Jackie Cetera. I use sheher pronouns, and I serve as the director of residential education at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania. For this, examples of when this has worked out really well has been when administrators and leaders within the institution really important for leaders to pour into their people and provide guidance even when it might be really hard to do so. Providing space to talk through situations and scenarios and to keep people informed is really, really important. Lisa Landreman [00:35:09]: My name is Lisa Landreman. I'm the vice president for student affairs at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. I think that COVID is the best example. I feel really proud as an organization, as an institution, how much we held space for our employees, that we gave regular frequent communication as a team of people who were managing the crisis, particularly early on. We did really regular communication. We stayed abreast of what was happening in the world. We thought well about our community. We allowed a lot of flexibility with work even though we were in person for our students. Lisa Landreman [00:35:46]: We gave options both for students and employees to do hybrid work or remote work as needed. I think we also gave a lot of flex to parents who were or people who had family members they were caring for, and so I think we were clear about our expectations for, you know, maybe some of our goals were on hold because we were tending to what was most immediately important and what was reasonable to ask people to accomplish at a time when we were all caring so much in our personal and professional lives. I think that was a way that I was really proud of how we managed that. Jackie Yun [00:36:22]: Hi. I'm Jackie Yun. I take the she series, and I serve as the executive director of the Harvard Griffin GSAS Student Center. Sure. I think I've been lucky at my institution that they have invested heavily in my professional development, and I have been able to go to them and say, I want to learn this thing. This is how I think this connects to what I do. And maybe in some cases, it doesn't always really connect, but they understand that providing me the support to keep learning and to try new things keeps me at the institution and keeps me doing good work for graduate students. Leanna Fenneberg [00:36:55]: Hello. This is Leanna Fenneberg. I'm the incoming chief student affairs officer at Duquesne University. I think so many of our institutions are going through reductions in force. I've personally, been impacted by those, and I've had to lead those with staff. And those are some of the most critical times for the people who are departing and for the community members who remain. And so I think of those difficulties as we all have budget reductions and how we can provide a loving supportive environment for all of the employees, even those who are directly affected in helping them support in their next journey and making difficult decisions and communicating those, but doing that in a ethic of care and concern for the individual and providing that kind of supportive community during some of our most difficult times. Jake Murphy [00:37:41]: Jake Murphy. I'm the director of prospective students services at OSU Institute of Technology, and I am over all recruitment and retention efforts at the university. Probably best example is my most recent position with a supervisor. I've just been in the role like about 2 years now. The university had been in a perpetual decline of enrollment for the last 10 years and it was morale was low. Everything was like absolutely terrible and my supervisor employed strategies to make sure that since we can't necessarily pay people the best in student affairs affairs sometimes, that she gave us the opportunity to use whatever time we needed to be felt supported and it really helped all of, like, bolster morale and just helped us avoid burnout which was great. Larry Pakowski [00:38:29]: Larry Pakowski. I'm the vice president for student engagement, inclusion and success at Aims Community College in Greeley, Colorado. I think COVID is a good example for us all that we all shifted to a remote environment overnight, and then some schools came back sooner, some schools came back later. And I think it was really an exercise in making sure that we not only forgot our people, but also the mission of the college and ensuring that we were doing what we needed to do by students, but also our employees as well. Jillaine Zenkelberger [00:38:56]: Hi. I'm doctor Jillaine Zenkelberger. I am the program coordinator over at Graduate Student Life at the University of Notre Dame. Yeah. So actually, a really good example is this year, we have a new dean of our grad school, Mike Hildreth at University of Notre Dame. And with any new head, new leadership, there's always, like, oh, what is this gonna mean for changes in our programs? But he's really taken the time to, like, sit down and listen to what our offices need and what our students need so that not only are we addressing students' concerns, but we're doing it in a way that's practical for us as employees. Because I think that sometimes we focus only on one side of initiatives and forget, like, well, somebody has to do it and has to have the capacity to do it. I think he's done a really good job and our team at the grad school has done a really good job of keeping those two things in mind. Kristen Merchant [00:39:49]: Hi, everyone. I'm Kristen Merchant. I am from Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. I am the associate director of the union and student Activities Office there and also the director of our lead programs. So my boss's name is also Kristen, but her name is Kristen Lloyd. She always just supports us with whatever we need, asks how we're doing. If she can sense that we're kind of feeling burnt out or tired or exhausted, she always takes the time to check-in with us us and give us some extra time off if we need it, and she just always helps make sure that we feel confident in our roles, and that just makes me feel very, very supported and confident in my roles. Joe Lizza [00:40:25]: My name isDr. Joe Lizza. I'm the director of the Chamberlain Student Center and Campus Activities at Rowan University in New Jersey. When I was a few years within my first full time job, I knew I wanted some type of change, and I had very supportive supervisors that provided me those opportunities knowing that the growth at the time in my current role and maybe the growth at the institution wasn't necessarily there, but they gave me some tools both through mentoring, but also through professional development opportunities to kinda seek out that next step. And they were just very upfront. I feel like sometimes people kinda string you along. They were very upfront to say, we love your work. You're doing a great job, but maybe your next step is not here. And they really provided that support to look elsewhere, which ultimately then allowed me for advancement outside of that original institution. Joshua Allred [00:41:19]: My name is Joshua Allred. I work at Louisiana State University in the College of Agriculture as their manager of student services. Sure. So we had a a pretty significant restructuring in our office a while back, like, about a year ago when our assistant dean left. And I work in an academic affairs unit so they took that time to really kind of restructure and move some pieces around. And so there was an uncertainty in terms of, are our jobs secure? Are our jobs moving around? Are we gonna have some significant changes in, like, what are what's under the purview of our our jobs. And again, I think having strong leadership and having them assure us and and talk through us the entire time as things were being discussed and actually listening to our input and getting feedback from us about our experiences being kind of the boots on the ground people working with students, I thought was really helpful and thoughtful. I think sometimes frustration, especially in uncertainty and during times of change, comes from folks at the top who don't necessarily have the most recent experience working with students in, like, a really direct way, making these really big sweeping decisions and not always taking into consideration the opinions and the feedback from folks who are doing just that. Joshua Allred [00:42:25]: Wow. So one of the things I continue to do is try to be innovative and think what's next? What more can I do to support students and support student success? I don't wanna come in and do the same programs over and over again. I want to do my best to collaborate, whether it's with my partners in academic affairs or my partners in student affairs. But whenever uncertainty comes, then that says, how do I make sure that students are successful? Because in uncertainty, they wanna make sure that what you're doing is supporting student success. So that's what I do. At Texas A&M, specifically, we just had a major change in who our president is, and we changed from the College of Education to the School of Education and Human Development. There were a lot of the professionals within the College of Education and Human Development who weren't happy with that change and thought that our peers around the country would look at us and say, School of Education and Human Development, we're a college, we do more, we're a research one institution, why is that happening with us? And, again, during that time of change and that time of uncertainty, our focus in the Burns Center was how do we make sure that we are supporting our students and making sure our students are successful? How do we make sure those persistence and retention and graduation rates continue to stay high and how can we raise them? Judy Traveis [00:43:58]: Hi, everyone. I'm Judy Traveis. I'm the associate dean for the Graduate Student Success Center at the University of Florida. I would say recently, I'm from the University of Florida and the Florida landscape has been impacted greatly with big issues in the DE and I space. And I think throughout it all, leadership had town hall meetings and general counsel available to help shape and create our programs so that they can live in the new world. Katie Caponera [00:44:31]: I'm Katie Caponera, director of student life at Harvard Divinity School. This past academic year has been one of the most challenging that I've experienced in my 15 years in higher ed, and I know it's been challenging on many campuses. It's felt particularly difficult at Harvard. We're very much in the national spotlight, but I think that what's helped me get through those challenging pieces and times have been the supportive colleagues and my supervisor who's been amazing at checking in and keeping everybody up to date on what's going on, talking through what we may be facing, and being very clear about what expectations are and what strategies are to approach what may be coming to us given the different types of uncertainty and and challenge that are present. Kathy Dilks [00:45:19]: My name is Kathy Dilks, and I am the director of graduate student and post doctoral affairs at the Icahn School of Medicine, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Supervisors have always been very, very helpful. I think one of the best tips they've ever given me is perception is reality. So anytime that I come with questions or uncertainties or even in my professional outlook, I remember that one phrase over and over again, and I strive to put my best foot forward if I've always had the luxury of working with other people who are able to answer questions, able to guide me along the way. Julie Payne Kirchmeier [00:45:58]: Julie Payne Kirchmeier, vice president for student success for the u Indiana University. It's not really a system. It's a multi campus university, but we can say Indiana University System if that's easier for folk to kinda place the role. It keeps me steady as a leader and as a member of an organization. It keeps me steady. And be vulnerable, as we talked about. It's a harder one to answer, I think, because particularly the past 4 years have just been so upside down for all of us. And so finding examples of care and support in such an uncertain time, relating back to question 1, is really hard. Julie Payne Kirchmeier [00:46:30]: But I will name a moment, and it was pre the disruption that we all know of COVID, but it was so fundamental and so just roiling with uncertainty is when I was at Northwestern as the associate vice president and chief of staff, and our vice president passed away. Beloved, long, long battle with cancer, and I will say her name, Patricia Theus Urban, an icon in our field. And it was one of those moments you knew eventually was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier. And the pain and the shock and just the sadness that just infiltrated the division and the campus, and there was a lot of burden that was put on our division to plan her memorial and a whole host of things. So, you know, like, good student affairs professionals, we just jump in and get it done. But during that time, we really tried to provide spaces, conversations, moments, touch points, remembrances of her, and not just at the memorial. We would take moments throughout the coming year to pause, to remember, to talk about, to laugh, to, you know, all the things that you wanna do to move through a really painful time. And, you know, I can look back on it, and that was 5 almost 5 years ago now, which is kind of mind blowing. Julie Payne Kirchmeier [00:47:40]: And I'm really proud and honored to have been part of a community that did that for each other. I'm not gonna stand here and say it was me. I'm not gonna stand here and say it was a small group. It really was that full community of student affairs that came together and did that. I think one of the sad things for me is that you don't often see that happen outside of student affairs in higher education, and I think we've got to do better Julie Payne Kirchmeier [00:47:59]: as an Julie Payne Kirchmeier [00:47:59]: industry, as a field, in industry, as a field in remembering that we have to show up for each other in these really important ways, large and small.

Episode Notes Basic Timestamps: 00:00 Start 09:00 Sharky 28:00 Flexible Web 42:00 Smart Glances 50:00 Wrap up Sign off Full Transcription: [Vision Forward] 11:02:14 Welcome to vision forwards, tech, connect, live, connecting you to the world of assistive technology. [Vision Forward] 11:02:20 And now here are your hosts, Corey and Lou. [Vision Forward] 11:02:29 Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hi! [Vision Forward] 11:02:34 Hello! How's everybody doing this morning? It is Thursday, June twenty-first, 2023, and that can only mean one thing. [Vision Forward] 11:02:47 Time, and that can only mean one thing, time for tech talk a little time for tech, connect, live. [Vision Forward] 11:02:54 We potentially are having good Jonathan. If you could confirm my troops, I just heard so over there, hey? [Vision Forward] 11:03:02 He must be Ok. Hello, everybody. Hello, good! So welcome. Hello! Apologist to those on Youtube who did not hear our lovely intro music. [Vision Forward] 11:03:09 Hopefully, we'll get that rectified for the next session. [Vision Forward] 11:03:12 Something always has to go wrong. But luckily this was a fairly minor thing. [Vision Forward] 11:03:17 So that is good, and thank you to everybody who completed our survey as well. [Vision Forward] 11:03:20 With me, too. Yeah, we did send out a survey with requests for ideas about where to take the show's direction, and we are probably going to make some small changes just to improve the show for those who enjoy it, and hopefully bring on that some do you know what the most requested change was go ahead let me know no, more [Vision Forward] 11:03:40 jokes, yes, it was, sadly. People don't seem to like jokes so much the jokes, but more just all of the chatting upfront. [Vision Forward] 11:03:49 So we are gonna try and get into the show a little bit more quickly and apologies to those who did enjoy those well, and I get it. [Vision Forward] 11:03:56 It is when we started this it was during Covid 3 years ago. [Vision Forward] 11:03:59 People, were at home. They had a little more spare time. [Vision Forward] 11:04:01 Yeah, now, people are connecting in the midst of work or whatever they might be doing and so they want to just get right to the information. Totally understand that. [Vision Forward] 11:04:12 So we are going to speed up our beginning. As we keep talking about I know, I think I think we have some further conversation to have, as well regarding show length and topics. [Vision Forward] 11:04:27 Yeah, if you didn't fill out the survey, please do so. [Vision Forward] 11:04:30 It should have dropped in your mailbox. Your email will probably maybe send it out one more time, just to make sure it really is helpful, though, to fill out that survey. [Vision Forward] 11:04:39 We can actually drop it in the comments of this video. [Vision Forward] 11:04:45 Once it gets archived on Youtube, we'll post and PIN that to this, to this session, so that those on Youtube can also have a chance to do that. [Vision Forward] 11:04:55 And it really is helpful. So we appreciate it. And if you really want to confuse us, fill out the survey twice with completely opposite points of view each time really confuses it will skew the results. [Vision Forward] 11:05:09 I assume people can fill it out more than once if they are feeling the fact as many times as they'd like I probably shouldn't have told them that so anyway, today we are talking about jaws, and some of the feature full features. [Vision Forward] 11:05:20 Yes, in jaws. So jaws is a screen, reader, for those who are not aware which is probably no one. [Vision Forward] 11:05:24 I imagine everybody on this show is aware of jaws, and it does have some really nice features that I don't think are necessarily all that explored. [Vision Forward] 11:05:31 Yeah, I think a lot of the features that we're looking to look at today are these features that have been introduced over? [Vision Forward] 11:05:36 Maybe the past 4 or 5 years. They're not really like mainstay features. [Vision Forward] 11:05:41 Everyone sort of jars, I think, is a lot like other programs where there's so much it does. [Vision Forward] 11:05:46 But you really just utilize what you know, or what you've been taught, and some of these other features, like smart glances, flexible web, and and the voice assistant are things that have been introduced more recently. [Vision Forward] 11:06:01 And you just may not have really gotten understanding of either how they work or what they do. [Vision Forward] 11:06:06 And so that's what we wanted to highlight today. [Vision Forward] 11:06:08 I think as a trainer, it's easy to get stuck in a rut with just teaching what you know, and not taking advantage of the newer features. [Vision Forward] 11:06:16 But then that's doing a disservice to your clients. [Vision Forward] 11:06:19 And as a user, I mean, it's the same type of thing. [Vision Forward] 11:06:22 There might be features which you haven't explored, because you are used to using whatever you know so hopefully, this will be some new information for people and make them even more powerful. [Vision Forward] 11:06:30 Screw, read a users just like Corey here I am, Corey, the power man. I am Mr. [Vision Forward] 11:06:35 Screen reader, that my friends, hey, Mr. Screen reader, please tell me that's true. [Vision Forward] 11:06:47 Howdy do you say? Hey, Mr. Mr. So so yeah, what we've got in store call? [Vision Forward] 11:06:51 So we're going to jump in now on the title of this session. [Vision Forward] 11:06:55 We're going to jump in now on our on the title of of this session we included a few different cool features. [Vision Forward] 11:06:58 We included flexible web, touchscreen support, smart glances. Yes, and Sharkey. [Vision Forward] 11:07:06 Yeah. The voice assistant yes. Now, at the top of the maybe I shouldn't say this, but right at the top I'm going to say we're not really going to touch on touchscreen touch on. [Vision Forward] 11:07:16 We're not really going to cover touchscreen support in this session. [Vision Forward] 11:07:19 Number one. I realize that I don't have a touch screen laptop super handy. [Vision Forward] 11:07:24 So it's gonna be kind of. I don't want to just sit and talk about the different gestures. [Vision Forward] 11:07:28 So we will do an upcoming session on touchscreen plus. [Vision Forward] 11:07:31 Actually, I think, touchscreen itself could almost take an hour there's a lot of different gestures and stuff so today we're going to look at 3 specific features that might be overlooked. [Vision Forward] 11:07:43 That's flexible web, smart glances and Sharkey, or the Voices Assistant. [Vision Forward] 11:07:48 So that's what we're going to jump into today. [Vision Forward] 11:07:49 So I will say, even though we are cutting down the intros, we are still going to have a joke. [Vision Forward] 11:07:53 But today, oh, yeah, today, Sharkie is going to jump right in. Oh, well, he's listening to you right away. [Vision Forward] 11:08:01 So why don't we go ahead and jump right into that piece? [Vision Forward] 11:08:04 So 1, 2, 3, 4. Let's did that do it? [Vision Forward] 11:08:10 No, which one is that one. I think it's an excellent luck. [Vision Forward] 11:08:13 Let me. I think you've got the right one. Actually. [Vision Forward] 11:08:14 PC, is that one muted? Now? Yeah, so if you go ahead and use jols here, if people could let us know in the chats whether they can hear jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:08:20 Ok, that would be a problem. I'll just type something oops. [Vision Forward] 11:08:25 Hello! Document one. There we go! Hello, everyone! Everyone exclaim. So let us know. In the chat. [Vision Forward] 11:08:34 If you are able to hear that. Ok, we are making our computer. [Vision Forward] 11:08:37 And I think it should be, okay. Yeah, just let us know. [Vision Forward] 11:08:39 So let's jump in here and just let me know if there's an issue. So they have released. [Vision Forward] 11:08:44 I believe it was in jaws 2021. They are released. [Vision Forward] 11:08:48 A voice assistant for both jaws and for zoom, text, or fusion and jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:08:55 It's called Sharkey is the kind of key phrase, and in zoom it's Zoomie now. [Vision Forward] 11:09:03 First and foremost, I actually sort of like both of them, but I will say I got an issue with the sharky and soothe me. The names. [Vision Forward] 11:09:11 Yeah, I get, why they chose it. But I just got a real issue. [Vision Forward] 11:09:16 I like shocking, because it reminds me of the cartoon shocking! [Vision Forward] 11:09:18 And, George, okay, I'm not sure if you I don't think that was in a American. [Vision Forward] 11:09:21 I wasn't sure. Yeah. So Shaki and George, they were crime fighters, and they were in the sea because Sharkie was a shock. [Vision Forward] 11:09:29 And George. What was George? Just a fish of some sort? I don't have a better way. [Vision Forward] 11:09:32 They swam through the ocean, and solving crime. There's a lot better crime. [Vision Forward] 11:09:39 So so released in 2021 and basically it's freedom, scientific version of the voice assistant. [Vision Forward] 11:09:44 What I wanna do real quickly is just show you where you can go to turn it on, and where some of the settings are. [Vision Forward] 11:09:50 So I'm going to go into my jaws. Menu. [Vision Forward] 11:09:54 Here draws context, menu. And we're going to utilities, utilities, submenu. [Vision Forward] 11:09:58 And actually, let's slow that down, leaving it slower, slower. [Vision Forward] 11:10:01 There we go, joyous context utilities. Submenu. Yeah, we'll go into utilities. [Vision Forward] 11:10:05 Josh Tandon, a voice assistant submit, and the second options. [Vision Forward] 11:10:10 Voice assistant, let's go on in here. Talk to jaws in search, plus alt plus space. [Vision Forward] 11:10:14 Now, here's one method for you to engage the voice assistant is by going in here and actually choosing this option, which I find to be a little bit cumbersome is it a keyboard? Chk? Yeah, yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:10:26 Or just coming right into the that would be great. Yeah. So we're going to go down. [Vision Forward] 11:10:30 Though to settings settings Dot, and let's just take a peek real quick. [Vision Forward] 11:10:34 Enter leaving Menus voice assistant Settings dialog enable voice assistant check box, check, for we want to make sure that this enable voice assistant checkbox is checked. [Vision Forward] 11:10:44 Otherwise we'll be just talking to our computer, and nothing will be happening. [Vision Forward] 11:10:48 Listen for wake word sharky radio. Button checked 2 of 2. [Vision Forward] 11:10:53 So we have 2 options. Here we have listen for the wake word, or we can choose the other option. [Vision Forward] 11:10:58 Listen for wait words, Sharkey radio, button check. So basically, you can choose from. [Vision Forward] 11:11:02 Hey! Followed by the wake word, or just the wake word itself. [Vision Forward] 11:11:06 Litigin so I'm going to choose the one with Hey? [Vision Forward] 11:11:11 Do not listen for weight, ward, checkbox, Snapchat, if you don't want. [Vision Forward] 11:11:15 If you still want to use the voice assistant, either through keyboard shortcuts or another method. [Vision Forward] 11:11:19 But don't want it listening for the wake word. [Vision Forward] 11:11:23 You can uncheck this box or check this box here, enable voice assistant sounds check box check you're going to hear when we give it a command that there is a start listening and end listening sound. [Vision Forward] 11:11:34 If you check you can, you can get rid of those here by doing this check box. [Vision Forward] 11:11:37 If you choose, microphone input device combo box windows, default. [Vision Forward] 11:11:43 If you've got a different microphone that you want to use, either set it to the default, or if you have a headset that you're always wearing, whatever it might be, you can make sure and choose which microphone you want take me to the privacy policy link if you want to go and take a [Vision Forward] 11:11:54 look obviously at their privacy policy. You can do that. Okay. [Vision Forward] 11:11:57 All right, let's do. Okay. We've got it turned down. [Vision Forward] 11:12:00 We're ready to go. So let's just do a couple little quick examples. [Vision Forward] 11:12:03 So we know that the listen word is hay, followed by its trigger word. [Vision Forward] 11:12:09 So we'll do it in a moment, and we'll just start real quickly with the time. [Vision Forward] 11:12:13 Hold on. We still need a joke as well. Oh, yeah, okay, let's start with that. That works. Good idea. [Vision Forward] 11:12:18 All right, we're gonna have our good friend Jaws here. [Vision Forward] 11:12:21 Tell us a joke, since we skipped over the joke. [Vision Forward] 11:12:24 Hey, Sharkey, tell me a joke! [Vision Forward] 11:12:28 What do you call a shark? Who wants to be by himself a lone shark? [Vision Forward] 11:12:33 A lone pair. Very good. I've asked it about 5 jokes. They also heard, as they all seem to be sharp, related. [Vision Forward] 11:12:49 At some point that's got to end. But you can get jokes from it. [Vision Forward] 11:12:56 No good voices. A voice assistant is not a good voice, assistant. [Vision Forward] 11:13:00 If it doesn't tell Joe, I think shocking. [Vision Forward] 11:13:01 The quality of shark. His jokes seem to be better than most. [Vision Forward] 11:13:03 All right. Let's give it one more. Hey, Sharkey, okay, let's try again. [Vision Forward] 11:13:04 Hey, Sharkey, tell me a joke! [Vision Forward] 11:13:07 I love the F. 5 key. It's just so refreshing. [Vision Forward] 11:13:12 Oh, my God! So that was a computer job that was shock, specific. [Vision Forward] 11:13:16 That was actually pretty good. So if you're very geeky like Korea and I, then you might enjoy your show all right. [Vision Forward] 11:13:21 Let's do a couple other real quick ones. Hey, Sharkey! [Vision Forward] 11:13:24 What time is it? [Vision Forward] 11:13:27 1113 A. M. So, like most voice assistants, we can ask it the time we can ask it. [Vision Forward] 11:13:33 The date. That's all good, but we're really more interested in sort of more specific jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:13:38 Youes right? And really the point of this voice assistant is for those who may struggle with remembering keyboard commands. [Vision Forward] 11:13:46 It's obviously it's not like windows, voice, access, voice control, where we can do pretty much everything. [Vision Forward] 11:13:55 This is, there's a lot, but it's still pretty limited on what we have to do. [Vision Forward] 11:13:59 So there's a lot of keyboard commands you still have to remember. [Vision Forward] 11:14:02 But for some of those things that you maybe don't do very often like increasing and decreasing your speech rate, we can do it via Shkey. [Vision Forward] 11:14:11 Hey sharkey! Speak faster! [Vision Forward] 11:14:14 You try again, faster, serious, trying to talk on my watch at the same time. [Vision Forward] 11:14:20 Hey Sharkey, Hey Sharkey Speech, Rate, 60. [Vision Forward] 11:14:28 Hey, sharkey speech rate, 30. [Vision Forward] 11:14:32 30%. So we can do either speak faster, speak slower, or we can give it a specific 30, 56 million dollars per minute, is it? Yeah, I think that's the percentage. [Vision Forward] 11:14:47 I think it might be based offwards per minute. But it's it's in line with what you would see when you go into the jaws settings and change the speech right? [Vision Forward] 11:14:54 So they are in line there, so you can do larger increments if you'd like to. [Vision Forward] 11:14:58 Okay, so let's go. I have a little cheat sheet here that I want to jump back to, because I don't want to forget anything. [Vision Forward] 11:15:08 Tell me. Oh, here's another good one, too. I have a question for you. [Vision Forward] 11:15:13 Yes. What is the keyboard shortcut to test? To find out the battery status of your laptop? [Vision Forward] 11:15:21 Well, I don't know the specific shocker. I would probably go to the notification chevron and open that up, and should be in there. [Vision Forward] 11:15:29 I believe it's inert. Is it? Insert all beer in search control, be insert alt. B. [Vision Forward] 11:15:38 No bookmarks. No, that's not insert control. [Vision Forward] 11:15:39 B control. B, no, that's all. Oh, well, maybe it's shift. [Vision Forward] 11:15:43 Geez! It's been so long now since I've done it A/C connect there it is. Recharge. [Vision Forward] 11:15:47 Insert, shift, B easy, because that's real easy to do with 2 hands, anyways. How about we do, hey? [Vision Forward] 11:15:52 Sharkey, hey, Sharkey? Okay. Third times. A truck, hey, Sharkey Clinton, like Hey, Sharkey, Battery? [Vision Forward] 11:16:06 A/C. Connected, recharging, battery battery, level, high battery, 97% vision forward. [Vision Forward] 11:16:13 That's cool. And again the Internet access as well, too, I will say the the lack of response. [Vision Forward] 11:16:20 Some of the hay sharky commands something you see pretty regularly. [Vision Forward] 11:16:24 With these speech recognition, yeah, then, with hay, Kultana. [Vision Forward] 11:16:27 Sometimes it responds, sometimes it doesn't. It might be better with a headset. [Vision Forward] 11:16:29 Possibly probably would be, I'd also be interested switching it to just the without. Hey? [Vision Forward] 11:16:35 And I'd be curious just saying, sharky, if there'd be much difference. Yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:16:38 So, battery. That's another really cool one, too. [Vision Forward] 11:16:40 Let me jump back to my other faster. Ok, we did that start selection. [Vision Forward] 11:16:47 Oh, here's an interesting one, so let's try this one. [Vision Forward] 11:16:50 There is a way in jaws to when you want to select text, and we know we can just use our shift key in conjunction with any of our text navigation keys and do it that way. [Vision Forward] 11:17:03 But there's also a way to do. Start and start and stop a selection so that you can start selection, and then move to where you want it to be finished selection, and then it'll just select all of what's in there so would you once you said start selection would you [Vision Forward] 11:17:18 move with the arrows. Yeah, exactly. So, for example, let's just type something here. [Vision Forward] 11:17:22 Hello! This is. [Vision Forward] 11:17:28 Lds selections. What works? So let's go back to the beginning. [Vision Forward] 11:17:34 Here. Black Alot. Oh, yeah, Shin forget what I typed for a minute. So I'm on the h here of Hello! [Vision Forward] 11:17:41 So hey, sharkey start selection. [Vision Forward] 11:17:45 Save document before marking place. Oh, that's interesting. Just save it first. Oh, yeah, I guess so, save as banter. All right. That's right. [Vision Forward] 11:17:54 Let's try it again. I didn't know that. [Vision Forward] 11:17:56 Never tried that before. Hey, Sharkey? Start selection. [Vision Forward] 11:18:01 Marking place, all right. So now I'm just going to use my end key and just move to the end of the line real quick blank period. There we go. [Vision Forward] 11:18:08 Now I'm at the end blank. Hey, Sharkey! [Vision Forward] 11:18:12 Hey, Sharkey, finished Selection. [Vision Forward] 11:18:18 Selecting between. Right now, how do I know, though, for sure, that it works? [Vision Forward] 11:18:26 Very good question. Hey? Sharkey? Reed selection. [Vision Forward] 11:18:29 Hello! This is a test to see how selection works. [Vision Forward] 11:18:33 There you go so real quick way to kind of select a big group of texts and then also double check that what you selected actually happen. Do you think that's any easier than using the keyboard to do those things? [Vision Forward] 11:18:47 Yes, if you can't remember how to do it, you know, I mean some of these really. [Vision Forward] 11:18:54 What it comes down to is, if you use a feature, a lot, you're obviously going to know the keyboard command yeah, right? And you'll do it. [Vision Forward] 11:19:02 Now the battery, one to me as a given that it's just easier to do using Sharky, because both going down to the notification system tray or doing the insert shift. [Vision Forward] 11:19:14 B can just be a little more cumbersome, so I think it comes down to how often you use a feature. [Vision Forward] 11:19:20 And are you? Are you more likely to remember? Start selection and finish selection versus whatever the keyboard. [Vision Forward] 11:19:25 I feel like selecting text is one of those fundamental things that you should be able to do. [Vision Forward] 11:19:30 And you're probably doing regularly, you are. But how many people actually use that method versus selecting the whole line or selecting word by word all the way through? [Vision Forward] 11:19:40 You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I think this method is almost a little more advanced method in selection. [Vision Forward] 11:19:46 I never use it to be honest, only it's one of those where I just forget about it. [Vision Forward] 11:19:50 You sort of get. As you mentioned earlier, you get into those kind of ruts, and this is for me. [Vision Forward] 11:19:56 This is one of them where it is a lot easier to do. [Vision Forward] 11:19:58 But I just always forget it's there I find, using voice assistance generally a little bit weird. [Vision Forward] 11:20:03 I do, too. And there is this. It's they're still a little delay that annoys me. [Vision Forward] 11:20:08 But it's like better. It's the delay was worse back in the day, and I do want to mention as well that this v assistant does require Internet connection, because it is using Microsoft Cloud in order to process all these commands and stuff. [Vision Forward] 11:20:25 So if you don't have access to the Internet, your sharky buddy isn't going to work for you. [Vision Forward] 11:20:30 Okay, let's we did those thanks. Let's take a look here. [Vision Forward] 11:20:34 Now at. Let's go to a web page, and that'll feed us sort of into our next one, too. [Vision Forward] 11:20:42 Go to vision forward.org, enter home, page visions. I hear this is a very good website, Corey, one of the best around windows of it. Home. All right. [Vision Forward] 11:20:50 So do you. Do you train individuals to use a list links, list and headings list? [Vision Forward] 11:20:59 I do. I show them how to do it, but also I don't necessarily know how useful they are to a lot of people so yeah, I mean, really, the biggest benefit to them is the first letter navigation but it's again, it's one of those where when I was trained. [Vision Forward] 11:21:17 And got in the habit of using. I just never did them, so I always forget to do them, and then I know the keyboard commands, but I always forget with Instr. F-six, and then F. [Vision Forward] 11:21:26 7 I always get them mixed up. Use them often. I mean, the other thing is if you're going to use first letter navigation that implies that you know the name of the thing that you're looking at. [Vision Forward] 11:21:36 Also, then why not just use virtual find? You could accept? [Vision Forward] 11:21:38 Well, I guess from a yeah, I guess from a keyboard shortcut. [Vision Forward] 11:21:41 It depends on keyboard how many presses you know. Virtual fine is quick as well. [Vision Forward] 11:21:46 You're still going to type in one thing. Yeah. So it becomes, we should do a whole show on which, yeah? [Vision Forward] 11:21:53 So Sharkey will let us do, a voice command. We can say, Hey, Sharkey! [Vision Forward] 11:21:57 Hey, Sharkey, hey! Sharkey list Links! [Vision Forward] 11:22:04 Links, list dialog links list. There we go, so it brings it up as if we did the keyboard command I'll tap my skis key and we can do the same. [Vision Forward] 11:22:14 Hey! Sharkey! Hey! Sharkey list headings! [Vision Forward] 11:22:20 Heading, list we can also get our for you. That's quite useful, because if you forget the insert of 6, insert and sell on which one is which. [Vision Forward] 11:22:27 Yeah, I'm using just you shocking stuff exactly, I believe, instead of 7 is lists. [Vision Forward] 11:22:32 It's already links. I think you might be I think I'm right. Let's find. [Vision Forward] 11:22:36 But now I gotta find out links that nailed it all right. [Vision Forward] 11:22:41 So that's one thing you can do on the Internet with the with sharks like, let's see what else I did that blank list comments. [Vision Forward] 11:22:50 So that's honestly, I mean, you can list tables. [Vision Forward] 11:22:54 You can list, form fields and things like that, but you can't navigate by heading, but you don't. [Vision Forward] 11:23:01 I mean, honestly, you want to hit H. You don't want to say hey, Sharkey? [Vision Forward] 11:23:04 Next, heading. I don't think it works. Please go toward or outlook to use this. [Vision Forward] 11:23:11 Okay, yeah, it does work in in word and outlook. [Vision Forward] 11:23:17 You can navigate by heading. So if you open the links list or the headings list with Sharkey, you have to use the keyboard and that arrow down or hit the first letter that you want, hey? [Vision Forward] 11:23:25 We can do a virtual find with show. You cannot really. [Vision Forward] 11:23:28 I'm surprised, at least not in what I read. You couldn't. [Vision Forward] 11:23:32 I'm not saying, yeah. So it's pretty. It's a bit limiting here on the Internet again. [Vision Forward] 11:23:35 It's really any of these lists, any of these lists from form fields, headings, links, those cable lists, those all have shortcut keys, and any of those you can bring up. [Vision Forward] 11:23:48 If you want. Hey, Sharkey List Tables? [Vision Forward] 11:23:54 No tables. No, we should mention as well that you found a list of these shortcuts on the Freedom scientific structure. Yeah. And I'll show you really quickly. [Vision Forward] 11:24:03 That's a great question. I should have mentioned it. But let me do it right now. [Vision Forward] 11:24:06 And now actually, yeah, we'll show that real quick here. [Vision Forward] 11:24:09 So if I go back into my jaws, menu here and we go back to utilities again. [Vision Forward] 11:24:15 Utilities, Joy's 10, and down to voice, voice, assist! [Vision Forward] 11:24:18 There we go expand, and we went to settings. Last time settings to go. One more getting started. [Vision Forward] 11:24:25 That's gonna take us right into the training material. And in there you're gonna navigate by headaching, and you'll find a heading it breaks it down by general reading word, Internet outlook. [Vision Forward] 11:24:38 And you can take a look at all of those different. That's for one thing, I think with a tool like this, like a lot of the a lot of the kind of usage is just going to be figuring out where it's more efficient to use sharkey, so you're not necessarily going to use [Vision Forward] 11:24:53 every single sharky command. It's going to be a few that help you with whatever you do on a daily basis. [Vision Forward] 11:24:58 We'll give one more quick example here in the word page, vision. [Vision Forward] 11:25:00 Hello, Doc! Doc's word. Okay, so let's do this document here. [Vision Forward] 11:25:05 And what I want to do here real, quick period work selection works. [Vision Forward] 11:25:08 Oh, okay, sk, Ok, so now, I just made a misspelling here. You know, the weird thing. [Vision Forward] 11:25:15 Word hasn't flagged it as a test to see how selection works is. [Vision Forward] 11:25:23 I guess that's a word and there's a capital S excess. It doesn't work. [Vision Forward] 11:25:30 Capital X maybe they're just a way. Okay, okay, let's do pause Z, at the end. [Vision Forward] 11:25:36 That's gonna be a right blank. So it's still no flag. [Vision Forward] 11:25:41 It just try it, though. I don't think it's going to work. [Vision Forward] 11:25:43 But let's try it here. So one of the features we can do is spelling error. [Vision Forward] 11:25:51 There we go. We actually can do one of 2 things. First, we can't spelling errors, and it'll put all theirs in a list for us, or we can say next, spelling error. [Vision Forward] 11:26:01 So if I say, Hey, Sharkey! Next spelling year. [Vision Forward] 11:26:06 The option to check spelling as you type is disabled. [Vision Forward] 11:26:09 Oh, well, that's weird. I didn't I thought that would do that, but that must be. [Vision Forward] 11:26:14 Why, it's not flagging, maybe, anyways, what it will do if you have that feature, turned on which it is by default, it'll just take you to the next misspelled word. [Vision Forward] 11:26:25 Tap your applications, key down, arrow through your spelling options. [Vision Forward] 11:26:29 Hit. Enter on the word you want, and now you've done your spelling. [Vision Forward] 11:26:33 So some people don't like the new revamped spelling and grammar checker in office. [Vision Forward] 11:26:44 So this might be one way of doing it. You can also say next, grammar mistake in in office. So this might be one way of doing it. You can also say next grammar mistake as well. So you can do just more than just spelling can do grammar I think that's a handy feature. [Vision Forward] 11:26:55 The other feature I like, too, is comments. I work with some college-aged students where they all get assignments back with comments. Yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:27:04 And jaws does a good job on it, but there is a command for next comment. [Vision Forward] 11:27:09 Previous comment. So you can just move right through the document, and there's keyboard commands as well yeah, which obviously, all of these things have keyboard commands. [Vision Forward] 11:27:16 All all the voice assistant is doing. Is just tying the words, the phrase you're saying to the keyboard command, if I wonder if I wonder if there is a future where all of this is just done by voice or just thinking can I think the battery? [Vision Forward] 11:27:31 And then it does it. How long it produces Jonathan, how to comment? Yeah, we do it. [Vision Forward] 11:27:40 Which, by the way, if people watch our apple vision pro video, which will be released today or tomorrow. [Vision Forward] 11:27:45 But I think today, by Jonathan, hopefully, today, hopefully, today, at 60'clock but possibly tomorrow at 60'clock. If you watch the apple vision pro video, then you will find out about the eye tracking inside the vision project and what the alternatives for people like me who cannot use my eyes to look [Vision Forward] 11:27:58 at stuff, yeah, it's 40 min long. By the way, so make sure you but we look at the new headset from an accessibility standpoint. So it's pretty cool. [Vision Forward] 11:28:08 Make sure you get your popcorn and coffee or alcoholic beverage. [Vision Forward] 11:28:12 If that is your preference. Alright. So that is Sharkey. [Vision Forward] 11:28:15 That's the voice assistant. There's a more when you look at the voice commands. [Vision Forward] 11:28:19 You're gonna see it a lot does a lot more. [Vision Forward] 11:28:21 I just wanted to highlight some of the most used ones are the ones I think would be most commonly used. [Vision Forward] 11:28:26 But I want to move on. Yes, for those with Zoomtox. [Vision Forward] 11:28:30 You do have Zoomie similar things. So Corey mentioned it before. [Vision Forward] 11:28:32 But yeah, yeah, you can say, Zoomie, or Hey, Zoomie? [Vision Forward] 11:28:35 Increased, magnific. Decrease me, you know those kind of things which I think I mean again, there are keyboard shortcuts for those those probably get used more often. [Vision Forward] 11:28:42 But then again, yeah, so alright. Are you ready to move on? [Vision Forward] 11:28:46 Oh, just one more thing sorry. I just thought, for those who are using screen magnification. [Vision Forward] 11:28:50 They might not know the keyboard as well as somebody using a screen. [Vision Forward] 11:28:54 Reader, show. So maybe for those people the the voice commands are actually more relevant. [Vision Forward] 11:29:00 That might be true. Yeah, I'm on board with you, all right. Next thing, we're going to take a look at is our buddy yeah, flexible web, I find the vision buddy. [Vision Forward] 11:29:12 You don't know anything about flexible web. I think it's where you send your computer to Yoga camp. [Vision Forward] 11:29:18 Is that right? Anyone in that, either in the Zoom chat or you Tube, throw it in there. [Vision Forward] 11:29:25 If you're familiar with flexible web, and if you land it, give me an example of how you use it. [Vision Forward] 11:29:30 Please? Is it where you can get rid of certain elements sort of yes, there's 2 main things. [Vision Forward] 11:29:37 Are are you ready? We're going to use vision forwards. [Vision Forward] 11:29:42 Website here, as an example, we use regions on our website. [Vision Forward] 11:29:48 We've got 3. We got 3 main regions that we kind of work with here. [Vision Forward] 11:29:52 First region is, takes us to the banner at the top of our website, and I think our banner has the shopping cart. [Vision Forward] 11:30:00 And let's take a look here. So I'm going to do an R to move by region list of 3 items. [Vision Forward] 11:30:04 So we have open search, form, search button. We can open up our search link card contents. Our C. [Vision Forward] 11:30:09 0, Lincoln Centre, font, size and change in. [Vision Forward] 11:30:12 So that's what's in the banner. There. [Vision Forward] 11:30:14 So let's say that I never want to deal with that don't ever need it. [Vision Forward] 11:30:20 Don't ever, want to work with that banner. It's just in the way I want to hide it so that jaws doesn't see it. [Vision Forward] 11:30:28 So we're gonna use flexible web to do that. [Vision Forward] 11:30:31 So we're gonna use flexible web to do that. [Vision Forward] 11:30:31 So first, we're going to use our key to move back to that so first, we're going to use our key to move back to that region list of 3 items. [Vision Forward] 11:30:35 And now we're going to do the Layer command. [Vision Forward] 11:30:39 Insert space and [Vision Forward] 11:31:02 Moment, and so I'm going to go over to Ok. [Vision Forward] 11:31:07 Enable flexible web checkbox chat. We want to make sure that that's checked, and it is by default, and we'll do our next enter. [Vision Forward] 11:31:12 How would you like to customize the page, hide an element radio button checked one of 2. [Vision Forward] 11:31:18 So now it's asking me how I want to change it. Here. [Vision Forward] 11:31:21 So we have start hiding element. High didn't know what saying hide, but it's almost saying, Hey, I can't tell. [Vision Forward] 11:31:26 It's pronouncing it where hide an element, or start reading at an element, start reading. [Vision Forward] 11:31:32 Now we're going to do that one next so let's just do hide first. [Vision Forward] 11:31:36 Hide an element. Good! We'll tab over back button next button all right. [Vision Forward] 11:31:40 Enter which of the following elements would you like to customize list, box list one of 4. [Vision Forward] 11:31:45 Now remember when we moved to that banner. It was also a lists. Right? Yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:31:52 So there is a number of 4. Now remember, when we moved to that banner, it was also a list. Right? Yeah. So there is a number of different elements. [Vision Forward] 11:31:56 It's seeing there. So now it's asking us by which element or which element do we want to hide? Now? [Vision Forward] 11:32:00 I don't want to do the list I don't want that which is a little bit more. [Vision Forward] 11:32:06 HTML stuff, but go down Banner region. That's what I want. I want to get rid of that whole region as a whole. So I'm going to go over and choose next next button. [Vision Forward] 11:32:17 Enter select a customization list, box, hide, banner, region, one, and I want to hide it. [Vision Forward] 11:32:20 That's what that's the first options. I'll keep that back. [Vision Forward] 11:32:23 Button finished final finish. All right. It's now been created. Hey? [Vision Forward] 11:32:27 If I go back up to the top of the page, and I do are Maine region. It got right. [Vision Forward] 11:32:33 It's skipped right over, actually that skip over 200 regions main region. There we go. [Vision Forward] 11:32:39 It skipped over that banner region, and it's no longer there. Cly, I have questions. [Vision Forward] 11:32:43 Yes, I have many questions, but before I ask my questions, Sean has a question what were the keystrokes we used to get to the list of sharky commandants? Very good. [Vision Forward] 11:32:53 What you can do is go into your jaws, menu, so that's a little tougher, because it depends. [Vision Forward] 11:32:59 If you run jaws from your system, tray or not, do you run jaws from your system? [Vision Forward] 11:33:04 Tray. Then you're just going to either. Do an insert J, or go to the desktop and hit. [Vision Forward] 11:33:09 Enter on jaws that brings up the jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:33:11 Context, menu go to utilities, then the voice assistant and then down arrow to get started if you don't run jaws in your system train, it's just in your task. [Vision Forward] 11:33:20 Bar alt tab till you get to the jaws window. [Vision Forward] 11:33:24 Go ahead and do your alt, you to bring up the utilities menu down narrow to voice, assistant, expand it down, arrow to get started, Sean. [Vision Forward] 11:33:34 Oh, actually, it was a show! Nice sorry. I just saw the full name. [Vision Forward] 11:33:37 Let's us know if that gave you what you needed, and so for my question, please question number one. [Vision Forward] 11:33:44 Yes, now that we have hidden that region. Yes, does jaws remember, if we close the browser and go back, will that region still be no right now? [Vision Forward] 11:33:53 It's temporary. Ok? So one thing that I'll notice is if I alt f 4 out of the browser. [Vision Forward] 11:33:58 Yeah, it will prompt me to ask me if I want to save it, or if I do my insert actors insert space. [Vision Forward] 11:34:06 Space, X. Flexible web. Dialog. What would you like to do? [Vision Forward] 11:34:09 Create a new customer. Z. Now I can do we try high banner region one from the top with id equals masked head or undue high banner region, one from the top, with save temporary customizations as a rule, radio button Shack. [Vision Forward] 11:34:22 I can now save it as a permanent rule. If I do that now, this is pretty cool. [Vision Forward] 11:34:26 I want to show you this enable flexible web. [Vision Forward] 11:34:29 Next button. Enter the Roomame edit type in 10. [Vision Forward] 11:34:33 We'll just call us R. It doesn't really matter we're just going to name it. [Vision Forward] 11:34:37 List view. How would you like that? List? View, hide, banner, reach how would you like this rule to apply combo box to the current side? [Vision Forward] 11:34:45 So this is to the current site. So that would be this. [Vision Forward] 11:34:51 This this region, I believe, As on every page that would apply to every page, so that would apply it to every. [Vision Forward] 11:34:58 So when it says current site, it really means current domain. So yes, any. [Vision Forward] 11:34:59 Any page on this site or if I down arrow to the current page just to the current page, I mocked. [Vision Forward] 11:35:05 So we'll look at the back button. Finish my favorite now. [Vision Forward] 11:35:11 It's permanently there. So now, if I leave Chrome and come back in, it'll be there. [Vision Forward] 11:35:15 But let me just show you this for a second kind of cool windows. M. [Vision Forward] 11:35:18 Desk. If we go to Microsoft, Edg, let's go to the opening new window address. [Vision Forward] 11:35:24 Insert. And let's go to vision. Borg entered our web page homepage homepage, and I do. [Vision Forward] 11:35:33 Our main region. Amazing? Yes, so cool. It's actually I was shocked when I so it works. [Vision Forward] 11:35:39 It's not so. It's not saved to the browser itself. [Vision Forward] 11:35:44 It's saved to jaw so that it goes across any browser that you're using. [Vision Forward] 11:35:48 It's pretty clever. So that is desktop. Incredible! [Vision Forward] 11:35:51 HP, I didn't actually expect that. No, my only concern with this is, it is pretty advanced, because not necessarily in terms of the key commands, but as you arerowing through the lists, making choices, some of that stuff I could see does get a little bit and I think that's where you [Vision Forward] 11:36:09 know with a trainer you can kind of get from a little bit familiar, more familiar with which ones you should choose. [Vision Forward] 11:36:14 You know some other great examples would be sometimes when you go to a website where you read an article, you'll use your H key, and you will hear the heading of the article, which is great. [Vision Forward] 11:36:26 But then, when you down arrow, you hear share on Facebook, hide all that. [Vision Forward] 11:36:31 So now, next time you go there to any article, usually they all carry the same kind of layout when you do your Hq. [Vision Forward] 11:36:37 And down Arrow, you'll all that will be hin, and you'll get right to your article. [Vision Forward] 11:36:41 That my only other concern is with placemakers, which is another cool jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:36:47 Feature I have had the experience more than once where the place markers disappear, and they are not temporary place markers. [Vision Forward] 11:36:54 They have been saved, but they disappear or, for example, if the web site changes as well that not can also call it. Can you just got to make sure, like when you create place markers. [Vision Forward] 11:37:05 One of the options is in. There is, you know, anchor to text. [Vision Forward] 11:37:10 Yes, and so you always want to use that. But yes, it's not a perfect size. [Vision Forward] 11:37:14 Well, I kind of wonder whether there might be similar issues with this potentially yeah, I don't know. [Vision Forward] 11:37:21 So in this case we hit an entire region. But you can hide just a single element. [Vision Forward] 11:37:25 So just a single link, a single button, whatever you want to do. And then, at any point. [Vision Forward] 11:37:28 Now I saved that, but if I do insert space X. [Vision Forward] 11:37:34 And I find view or change where roles apply radio button check, create a new view, create a new customer's April. Okay? [Vision Forward] 11:37:42 So what's enable flexible finish space if you were okay. So what's the enable flexible space view or change with? [Vision Forward] 11:37:51 And now it's crime, star vision, 0, global opened. What? One currency vision forward.org closed open. Let's open, Jan. [Vision Forward] 11:37:58 Current page, vision forward.org slash! Anyways, I don't want to go through all this, so you can go in and delete that customization at any point as well. [Vision Forward] 11:38:05 So if you set one, and then you're like, Oh, never mind, no, I need it back. You can do it now. [Vision Forward] 11:38:09 Let me do the other side of flexible web. So let's give an example here, where potentially, when you come, I'm trying to think of a good well, I'll just use ours here. [Vision Forward] 11:38:22 Let's use an example here when you come to our web page. [Vision Forward] 11:38:28 If you can't see some living with a vision I'm gonna just move by headings shot for adaptive vision products visited heading level 3 right now, let's pretend, for example, you go to a website and there's a heading that says trending stories. [Vision Forward] 11:38:40 Or or or today's news that heading is always there right? [Vision Forward] 11:38:44 But let's say, when you load that page with jaws, you always just want to start right from that headache right from that link, or whatever it might be. [Vision Forward] 11:38:54 So what you do is first move to it like I just did. [Vision Forward] 11:38:56 Here heading level 3 link shop. So I'm on the shop for adaptive tools. [Vision Forward] 11:39:00 If I do insert space. Space X. Flexible web dialogue, what would you like to do? [Vision Forward] 11:39:06 Creative. And we want to create a new one. Enter, how would you like to customize the page hide an element this time? [Vision Forward] 11:39:12 I don't want to hide. Instead, I'll down Arrow start reading it, and we'll do start reading back. [Vision Forward] 11:39:18 Butt next button enter which of the following elements would you like to customize list box heading level? [Vision Forward] 11:39:24 Shop for adaptive and that's what we want back butt next. [Vision Forward] 11:39:28 Button, enter, select a customization list box, start a heading level 3, one from the top. [Vision Forward] 11:39:32 With text, and we'll leave this at its default. [Vision Forward] 11:39:35 Here, back, button finished Button. Now, if I refresh this page F. [Vision Forward] 11:39:41 5, 3 regions. That reminds me of the jokes in 20. [Vision Forward] 11:39:46 -five. There's 4 smart lunch highlights visited heading level, 3 link shop and it immediately took us right to that headache. [Vision Forward] 11:39:54 So this is really powerful. If you really think from not only a personal, if they're sites, you go to all the time where you always think from not only a personal. [Vision Forward] 11:40:06 If there are sites you go to all the time where you always have sites, you go to all the time where you always sites all the time we use Emr system electronic medical records all the time, and if I could set it up so that flexible web where I can say no every time you load this page I want you [Vision Forward] 11:40:18 to go to this exact link or this heading, how much it can really save time, you know, getting places quicker. [Vision Forward] 11:40:27 This is a really awesome feature. Yeah, yeah, this to me, I think flexible web. [Vision Forward] 11:40:32 All of the ones we are going to look at today. To me this is the one that has the the biggest impact. [Vision Forward] 11:40:37 Does have a little bit more learning curve. Kind of behind it, and might be one of these where? [Vision Forward] 11:40:45 Where? Where, as a trainer, maybe, you help an individual set a month but once you start to get the groove and start to utilize them, you really can get rid of so much of that cruff and junk in a website, that you just don't need I think some of the only confusing part [Vision Forward] 11:40:57 is really some of those. HTML options that you have, because when you're listening to those, I just feel like if you don't understand. [Vision Forward] 11:41:05 HTML, then that's going to be the good news is you don't need a dose of them. [Vision Forward] 11:41:09 You don't know but you're right. Just learning to disregard exactly. [Vision Forward] 11:41:12 Yeah, wonderful. I can imagine implementing for some of this stuff like you could be a parent. [Vision Forward] 11:41:19 And your kid wants to access a website. But there's certain things on that website. [Vision Forward] 11:41:22 You don't want them to have access to. Yeah. So then you could obviously hide those elements so they don't have access to that. [Vision Forward] 11:41:28 And also for users who maybe aren't so proficient with their screen reader, as a trainer you could simplify websites that they want to use to make it easier than to navigate. [Vision Forward] 11:41:39 And then you could then start to unhigh as I get more and more, and you introduce more and more. [Vision Forward] 11:41:44 So you're still using the same page versus going to new pages that are more complex. [Vision Forward] 11:41:48 You still use the same page right now you're showing the relationship of okay. [Vision Forward] 11:41:53 Now, I'm unhiding this and this is how you interact. [Vision Forward] 11:41:55 So yeah. Very quick question. So if we hide the region which we did at the start here I assume that that region won't appear no matter how we're navigating. [Vision Forward] 11:42:03 So if we're navigating by, we don't want using the. [Vision Forward] 11:42:07 I don't believe so. Let's just try from the top real quick by down arrow. [Vision Forward] 11:42:10 Same page, length, main region. Directly. I just judge right to try and spare over that. Yeah, be excellent. [Vision Forward] 11:42:15 You got it. That's really cool. Yeah. Good job, freedom, scientific. [Vision Forward] 11:42:19 Ready to go all right. So we've got really one last one here to take a look at that's smart glance, smart glances. [Vision Forward] 11:42:29 This was a more recent addition. You might notice it when you've loaded up a new page in web pages, that when it reads the kind of summary. [Vision Forward] 11:42:40 So let's see, actually, does it read the summary here? [Vision Forward] 11:42:41 Do we have smart glance? That's fine. Let's find a home page. [Vision Forward] 11:42:47 Vision Forwardword, 3 regions, 14 headings in 21 links for smart Lens. [Vision Forward] 11:42:55 So basically, what smart glances are is that jaws looks at a web page, and it looks at the font attributes of the page. [Vision Forward] 11:43:03 It looks at different font emphases or styles, or colors, and then it sees how often it's used, and the more unique, so the less often it's used, the higher ranking it gets and the reason for this is what they're assuming is that the developer of a website [Vision Forward] 11:43:24 has taken a piece of text and used maybe a background color or a bold font, to draw your eye to that piece of content on the web page. [Vision Forward] 11:43:36 Yet it's not a heading for you to just use your Ht. [Vision Forward] 11:43:40 To get to, and so what they've done then is that that it, as it sees these, and you know, realizes, okay, this is only used a couple times. [Vision Forward] 11:43:51 Then it creates kind of what they call consider a smart glance for you to quickly glance or move around that page to see something when you and I talked about this Corey, I suggested. [Vision Forward] 11:44:03 Maybe this is this is at its best for websites that haven't been designed very well, because you would assume if the eye is being visually directed towards something on the page, it should really be a heading, because it's in a piece of information. [Vision Forward] 11:44:20 I agree. So I want to use it on ours here, because I don't know what it's considering and I want you to sort of tell me the key that we use is Y, the letter Y is what moves us through smart glances. [Vision Forward] 11:44:34 So if I do, y meet Jayie and learn more about her journey with vision loss. [Vision Forward] 11:44:38 That was not a heading. No, but is it bold or different colour? [Vision Forward] 11:44:44 It's definitely bold, and I'm not sure whether it's a different font. [Vision Forward] 11:44:48 But it's definitely bold. Why, again, first name started. [Vision Forward] 11:44:51 It required. So now it's moved to this form here, and so I don't know if the first name is maybe because of the star. [Vision Forward] 11:44:57 I'm not sure why it considers this to be. [Vision Forward] 11:45:00 I can't really tell last name starting. Obviously, the other one is a stop email star. [Vision Forward] 11:45:08 And it requires that's 3. So there's one more no tapes. If I did, if I hit the right key, that would be helpful. [Vision Forward] 11:45:12 First name start last name, email, stop wrapping to top. [Vision Forward] 11:45:15 That was all of them. That's right. So that's what's smart glances are, at least on our webpage. [Vision Forward] 11:45:23 Let me get show you a freedom. Scientific. The example they give. [Vision Forward] 11:45:27 We go to their website. [Vision Forward] 11:45:30 Calm, enter blank. [Vision Forward] 11:45:33 Downloads. Sure. Oh, I didn't go to their home. [Vision Forward] 11:45:36 Yeah, visited. Link Graphic. Enter home, page. Here we go. [Vision Forward] 11:45:40 So there's let's see what they have here. [Vision Forward] 11:45:42 First of all, let's find out if they have any, so I'll just do a quick refresh freedom, scientific high-quality, video magnifiers, braille displays screen magnification software. [Vision Forward] 11:45:53 And number one screen. Reader, choice, freedom, scientific high quality, video. [Vision Forward] 11:45:58 Oh, that's the longest title at any website has ever had. They should know about it. [Vision Forward] 11:46:03 Oh, yeah, they should. Ok, there are glances. We're going to cut the middle man. [Vision Forward] 11:46:08 Just tell you that there are glances. We're going to cut the middle man. Just tell you that there are. So I'm going to hit y and find out what so there they have one called. [Vision Forward] 11:46:12 Yeah, that's called today. And if then, if I down Arrow Link 1, 804, I get their phone number. [Vision Forward] 11:46:21 Yeah, so that cold today is visually is a different color. [Vision Forward] 11:46:22 But it's not a heading no, no, not a heading. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:46:25 So that's basically smart glances where jaws will just look at the webpage. [Vision Forward] 11:46:31 Determine if text is emphasized in some way, and if it is, then it brings it in as a smart glance. [Vision Forward] 11:46:39 So that you can kind of skim through and just get an idea of potentially some important pieces of the website. [Vision Forward] 11:46:47 That again. Maybe. Aren't navigated by heading or somewhere else to get some other methods. [Vision Forward] 11:46:55 I do wonder how useful that is, you know, whenever I say a thing is not useful, and it's never used. So many people. [Vision Forward] 11:47:01 Yeah, so I would love other people's opinions. How are you using smart glances? [Vision Forward] 11:47:07 I don't see it as super and intuitive. [Vision Forward] 11:47:13 Not that it's not intuitive. I don't see it super useful. [Vision Forward] 11:47:14 Yeah, what are you gonna find? That's not consistency. [Vision Forward] 11:47:17 There isn't the only upside to it is, is it? [Vision Forward] 11:47:21 Is a quick way to to, you know a sighted person would bring up this freedom. [Vision Forward] 11:47:26 Scientific webpage, and your eyes would be drawn to that. Call me right. [Vision Forward] 11:47:29 Yes, because it's there. So now I can do the same thing, and I can use a keyboard command to see what the developers wanted. [Vision Forward] 11:47:39 People's eyes drawn to. So it does give me more information. [Vision Forward] 11:47:44 It gives me more ways to navigate, to maybe potentially find important information. [Vision Forward] 11:47:49 And obviously smart glances is new. So there's been many other ways that we could have found this stuff as well in the past. [Vision Forward] 11:47:55 I would have come here done a virtual fine type. Call, enter, call today, and got right there, too. [Vision Forward] 11:48:03 So again it, but it was one key press versus 5 key Presses. [Vision Forward] 11:48:08 So yeah, that's fair. I think, yeah, it's one of those things it's easy enough to do. [Vision Forward] 11:48:13 So if you're on a website, you can just press your Mickey a few times. See what's there. [Vision Forward] 11:48:17 See if there's anything interesting. I think it's underutilized, and probably a lot of trainers potentially don't do this is, I think, when a when a new website is loaded up, I think taking that moment to use the Y key and the R key to move by regions can give you [Vision Forward] 11:48:36 a really quick idea of what how this page is laid out and what's potentially important, and what's not. Yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:48:44 You know, the Y is obviously going to give you these smart glances. [Vision Forward] 11:48:46 The R is going to move through the regions quickly, and you're going to find main navigation main, construct footer, and it just gives you an idea of what sort of on this page are not not so much what's on the page. [Vision Forward] 11:48:57 But how it's laid out and grouped together. You can start to build that visual map, and it's quick, and then from there use your Ht. [Vision Forward] 11:49:06 Or however else you choose to kind of navigate. So these features are available in jaws 2023. [Vision Forward] 11:49:15 Yeah, I don't remember. Let's do it right now. [Vision Forward] 11:49:18 So flexible. Web has been out forever you're stuck in a dialogue box. [Vision Forward] 11:49:24 At the same time no button enter freedoms control. Let's do Josh Smart, the one that's his turn the back come out. [Vision Forward] 11:49:35 The linked search was, what's new in videos? What's new in jaws? [Vision Forward] 11:49:38 2,023, okay, 3, so 2023, for smart glances. [Vision Forward] 11:49:43 Voice assistant who's 2021 flexible web, I think, was even before that. [Vision Forward] 11:49:47 It's been around for a bit. So yeah, so most of these are going to be if you're up to date, then you're obviously good to go. [Vision Forward] 11:49:56 But even if you've got an older one, you might be Ok. [Vision Forward] 11:49:58 Depending on how old your version is, and for those of you who are not up to date, don't forget that freedom scientific do have a subscription plan, and for those of you who are not up to date. Don't forget that freedom scientific do have a subscription. Plan. [Vision Forward] 11:50:09 Now where you can pay $90, convention sales and stuff. [Vision Forward] 11:50:13 Yes, I saw an old post on blind bgains from 2015, where they were selling jaws, licenses for $75, and magic licenses for $50. [Vision Forward] 11:50:24 Can you believe that? I think, when that was, I think, right when they started doing the subscription type? [Vision Forward] 11:50:28 It was a yeah. That must have been the deal of the century. [Vision Forward] 11:50:31 Anybody there was a conventions, anybody who was there. Let us know what you've got. [Vision Forward] 11:50:38 Apparently they had offers of Braille displays as well, but I doubt they were $50 that's not going to be cool, though. [Vision Forward] 11:50:44 So yes, so that was an overview of some of what I think are some can be useful jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:50:52 Features, yet are probably overlooked in most cases. So again, for on Youtube throw in the comments how you might use some of these, or, if you do, zoom, if you're connected, live, throw it in the throw it in the chat real quick. [Vision Forward] 11:51:06 If you've got any other questions, or I'd be curious if you know, maybe, how you use them as well. [Vision Forward] 11:51:11 Yes, me, too. And I definitely learned a lot today. Corey. [Vision Forward] 11:51:15 Thank you. I did. That's good. That's really the purpose of this. [Vision Forward] 11:51:18 It's just a trailing. Well, when we sat down, we're like, why should we do this? [Vision Forward] 11:51:23 And then you're like, I don't know anything and I said, All right, let's do a live session teaching you disclaimer. [Vision Forward] 11:51:28 That is not what they are. They could have done them so. [Vision Forward] 11:51:32 Yes, that is the end of our session for today, and we are going to like, say, we are going to have a conversation about our future format, and I expect that we will communicate. [Vision Forward] 11:51:42 Don't be afraid. We're not going. We're not going to disappear, not going any. We're just gonna we're gonna make it better. [Vision Forward] 11:51:48 That's really what it is. We want to give the people what they want. They. [Vision Forward] 11:51:52 Yeah, I want 24, 7, streaming like a news channel. [Vision Forward] 11:51:57 So yeah, we'll probably send out the survey again as Corey said, and if you haven't responded to it, then any thoughts would be appreciated. [Vision Forward] 11:52:03 It doesn't take too long to fill out. So we just want to get an idea of what people are looking for with these sessions. [Vision Forward] 11:52:08 So hopefully. Today it was helpful. And in 2 weeks time I'm afraid our schedule has gone a little bit off the tracks. [Vision Forward] 11:52:14 Here. So I'm not 100% sure what we're going to be doing. [Vision Forward] 11:52:18 Yeah, I mean, we at some point this summer. We're coming back to my house again. [Vision Forward] 11:52:21 We got a new basketball hoop. I'm going to show Hug where it's accessible. [Vision Forward] 11:52:25 But I don't know. Yeah, we have kind of jumped around a little bit. [Vision Forward] 11:52:30 So again, quick reminder, head over to our tech, connect website, tech, connect that vision, dash forward.org, create a free account. [Vision Forward] 11:52:40 You have access to all of these sessions, archived, and you can see what's coming up. [Vision Forward] 11:52:46 We'll be posting our next session that should go up tomorrow, so you'll see what's coming up, and you can just kind of keep updated with everything we're doing and all of our past stuff, both through 2023 and all of last year, 2022 they're all up there [Vision Forward] 11:53:04 as well. And we do have a Youtube also, it is Youtube com, forward, vision forward, tech, connect. [Vision Forward] 11:53:11 And that is where you will be able to see our latest video on the Apple vision pro when it releases today or tomorrow. [Vision Forward] 11:53:18 And you can also see that on the Lms. As well. [Vision Forward] 11:53:21 That's true. So you can see that in either of those 2 places. [Vision Forward] 11:53:23 But if you happen to check out that video, we definitely would appreciate any likes and comments, because those always help with the algorithm and the apple vision pro for those who are not aware of it is a pretty cool piece of tech, and we speculate on whether it might be good from a low vision. [Vision Forward] 11:53:37 Wearable perspective, so there is no clear sign from Apple as to whether they might have any features that were turn it into a low vision, wearable. [Vision Forward] 11:53:46 But it's fun to speculate. Nonetheless, it is yes, so make sure you keep attuned to that channel for that video. [Vision Forward] 11:53:52 Diane says I missed the jokes. Very sorry, Diana. [Vision Forward] 11:53:55 I miss the jokes as well, but I think we still will do a joke. [Vision Forward] 11:53:58 We're just not going to take 20 min to get into the. [Vision Forward] 11:54:03 But the audience didn't seem to like it as much. [Vision Forward] 11:54:08 So we are trying to tailor these to make as many people happy as possible. [Vision Forward] 11:54:12 So then fill out the survey, and let us know that you really want our long intro with multiple jokes, and we'll see how we'll see how we get on. [Vision Forward] 11:54:20 Once we've tallied all the results of those surveys. [Vision Forward] 11:54:22 But for the moment goodbye. We will look forward to seeing you in 2 weeks, and I hope you have a great couple of weeks bye, for now see ya! [Vision Forward] 11:54:35 And so.

This long-awaited Medtronic 780G is now FDA approved. It's been out for two years in Europe and has features that are a bit different from other commercially available automated insulin delivery systems in the US, including a target range down to 100. This week you'll hear from Heather Lackey, global medical education director for Medtronic Diabetes who also lives with type 1 and has used the 780G. We talk about what else this system can do – remember this is the one with the 7-day infusion set – and Stacey asks a lot of your questions. This podcast is not intended as medical advice.

It's been out for two years in Europe and its features that are a bit different from other commercially available systems in the US, including a target range down to 100.   Heather Lackey  0:44 And it's just been proven to do so successfully without really increasing a lot of time below range. You know, what will the next system lead up? Will it be below 100? I don't know. But it's so nice to be waking up with glucose levels that are so much closer to someone without type 1 diabetes with this lower target.   Stacey Simms  1:05 That's Heather Lackey, global medical education director for Medtronic. She also lives with type one, we talk about what else the system can do remember if this is the one with the seven day infusion set, and I ask a lot of your questions. This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider. Welcome to another week of the show. Always so glad to have you here. You know, we aim to educate and inspire about diabetes with a focus on people who use insulin. I'm your host, Stacey Simms, and we are getting some big FDA approvals. Along with the Medtronic 780 G, we got word that beta bionics islet will soon be commercially available. As I am recording this I do have an interview set up with the beta bionics CEO. If all goes to plan that will be our show next week. Real quick, while the original islet dual chambered pump was not what was in front of the FDA, the pump that has been approved has some really interesting features. It's unique in that there are no steps to the programming. When you get your pump, you're not putting in basal rates or insulin sensitivity factors or anything like that. All you do is put your weight in. But that is for next week. You can follow me on social media. We've already shared some information about the islet and I've done many episodes in the past if you want to listen to those to get an idea of what was approved, but this week, we're talking about the Medtronic 780 G, as you likely remember Medtronic at the very first of what we now call a ID systems automated insulin delivery systems with their mini med 670 G and that was approved in 2017. We've been hearing about the 780 G for a long time. It was submitted in 2021. I've talked a lot about the delays in the in the news episodes. It has been approved in Canada since last year. It was approved in Europe in 2020. We're gonna go through lots of features of the pump, but you should also know that the sensor used with this system The Guardian four is approved with no finger sticks for dosing, which to me is one of the most significant changes. My guest to talk about all this is Heather lackey. She has been with Medtronic for more than 19 years. She delivers medical education strategy for insulin pump systems. She trains Medtronic education teams around the world. She lives with type one she was diagnosed at age 16. She was also a consultant on the movie Purple Hearts. She also popped up in a scene in that movie and yes, I asked her about that. Lots to get through. But first Diabetes Connections is brought to you by Afrezza.

Heather, thank you so much for joining me. I have a lot of questions for you about the new system but first welcome. I'm glad to have you here.   Heather Lackey  4:52 Oh thank you Stacey. It's my pleasure to be here and so nice to get to meet you. I listen to your podcast and just excited Good to be a part of this one.   Stacey Simms  5:00 Oh, well, I'm thrilled to have you. And I'm sure you don't mind if I say it has been a long time coming. Lots of people very excited about this improvement. Can we start by just talking about the seven EDG? What makes this different from the Medtronic pumps that have come before?   Heather Lackey  5:16 Yeah, well, the mini med seven add system is different in the fact of course, it let's say what it Phil has right still has automated basal insulin, and that insulin ID based on the sensor glucose values, but this system is set apart because it delivers does auto correction boluses, like every five minutes is needed. So we know that life with type 1 diabetes, as you well know, as a mom, someone with type one and be living with it, we know that life does not go as we expect all the time and as planned. And so many things affect our glucose outside of the three things that we've always tried to juggle for years, right? Food and insulin and exercise. But now that we really kind of identify that there's so many other things that are impacting our glucose, it really brings to light the fact that we don't get it right 100% of the time, when we dose insulin, we adjust food. And so that's where those auto corrections that are coming in real time, every five minutes, if needed, can really help. And what I love about the system is the auto corrections, you don't have to be sky high to get an auto correction. As a matter of fact, you don't even have to be high. before they begin. They're really kind of thinking like a pancreas than as soon as your glucose rises over 120 milligrams, as the basal is working as hard as it can and saying, Hey, I need help, then the auto corrections come into play. And they can start dosing a correction bolus every five minutes if needed.   Stacey Simms  6:59 So what is the difference between the auto basil and that bolus that you're talking about? Because you know, the automated systems that are out right now already adjusted basal every five minutes? What is actually happening when you say oh, and it's also giving a bolus?   Heather Lackey  7:14 Yeah, so the bolus happens every five minutes on top of the date. Right, facie, so let's say, again, the goal for many meds seven ad G, there were kind of two goals in play, right, we wanted to further improve time and range, you know, compared like with the mini med 670 G system without compromising any safety, because we all know we can drive down glucose, right, but you don't want to have a lot of lows. And we wanted to reduce the daily interactions with the system. And those daily interactions, right, the the alerts and the alarms and all of the safety pieces that were were added to mini med seven, add, those have all been now relaxed, and so less than erection and improvement in time and range without sacrificing hypoglycemia. So what's nice about the system is you not only are delivering the auto basil, like you said, right, we have auto basil and other systems that now if the auto basal cannot keep the glucose level in the target range, it predicts that the glucose level is going to go higher than it would like then that's when those auto corrections come. And they don't come once an hour, they come every five minutes. As soon as that since your glucose rises over 120 milligrams per deciliter. If the system says, Hey, I'm working as hard as I can with your basal, and I'm not able to keep your glucose at the target range that we want, right. And we'll talk about targets and here in just a minute, hopefully. But if we can keep your glucose at that target range, then I'm going to ask for some help. And that's where those auto corrections. And those are boluses. Right? boluses that happen every five minutes without the patient having to agree to them, or take any action on their part. They just happen automatically.   Stacey Simms  9:14 Alright, I have a few more questions about that. But I'll get back to that in a couple of minutes. Because I feel like most people will just see the results. And they they may not have too many questions about exactly what's going on there. But I want to get back to that bullets in a minute. But you mentioned range, and the seven EDG has a lower range than Tandem and Omnipod. Five have currently right it's correcting down to 100. Or that's a choice. You can adjust that.   Heather Lackey  9:37 Yeah, there's a couple of things that are different and new about this. And Minimates seven add definitely treats to a target, not a range. But you're right though the target is the lowest target at this moment that's available and so the auto basal target, you can set three settings Three different targets are available to where the person was diabetes , their healthcare provider can can really identify which target is best for them. But the three targets are 100 milligrams per deciliter, 110, and 120. Now 100 comes as kind of the default auto basal target. And that's because we know that this system was all of the copious data that we have. And all of the simulations that were done before this system was even launched, was using that 100 target. And that's what this system is built around to be the best target to you.   Stacey Simms  10:36 We should note that tide pool type pool loop, which was approved by the FDA a few months ago, can correct down to 87. But it is not available in any insulin pump, yet. It's a software program that was approved. So 100 for Medtronic is the lowest that you can actually use right now. But it's interesting, that's 101 10 and 120, where some other systems have, you know, an exercise mode that is a higher range, do you have any insight as to why those were chosen?   Heather Lackey  11:02 Well, those are that close to target to mirror a normal functioning, you know, system a system without diabetes . And the interesting thing is, is the 100 target is very much achievable without sacrificing time below range, right? So we're able to drive with the auto basal target being set at 100. And with having the auto corrections that are even delivering up to every five minutes, this is the system, you know, determined that those were needed. We have the algorithm that built to drive the system to 100. And it's just been proven to do so successfully without really increasing a lot of time below rage. You know, what will the next system lead us? Will it be below 100? I don't know. But it's so nice to be waking up with glucose levels that are so much closer to someone without type 1 diabetes. With this lower target.   Stacey Simms  12:03 Let's talk about the sensor because there are changes here too. Right. Tell me about the sensor that goes along with the 780G? Yeah, well,   Heather Lackey  12:10 the Guardian four sensor is the center that it works with the mini med 780G system. And the Guardian Force center was designed really to reduce the burden as daily finger sticks. That was the whole goal. Let's remove calibration from the system. And let's try to develop a system that doesn't require finger sticks. As we know, sometimes finger sticks still are needed with really with any of the systems and sensors. But the majority of the time when our patients are in the mark guard feature is they are using the SR glucose to bolus off that, you know, there's no real need for a fingerstick glucose. And interestingly enough, most patients bend upwards of you know, 95% or so in that smart guard feature. And so many patients will tell me, I am forgetting my glucose meter at home. And I had one patient that went on a trip, he went out of the country and he said, Look, I totally left insulin and glucose at home because I had kind of forgotten to take my meter bag with me. Wow, learning for sure.   Stacey Simms  13:27 Oh my gosh, yeah, my son goes without a meter quite often. Since you know his we use the Dexcom in the control IQ system from Tandem. But yeah, you don't want to forget your bag entire. That's not good   Heather Lackey  13:38 news. Okay, that's if that's now a burden that is taken off of you. And that's lovely. Yeah, no doubt. No need to be prepared, right?   Stacey Simms  13:47 Yep, absolutely. And I think it's worth pointing out that this is the only automated insulin system in the United States. That is one system, right? It's a glucose monitor infusions that insulin pump. That's all Medtronic and this system has that extended infusion set right so you're talking to sensor you were for seven days, and an infusion set for seven days, right. We'll get right back to my conversation with Heather but vs Diabetes Connections is brought to you by Omni pod. And when you're deciding that a random insulin pump, you got a lot to think about, especially if you've never used a pump before. It really can seem overwhelming. I remember that there are a lot of choices, and you want to make the right decision. And that's why I'm so excited to tell you about Omni pod five. Curious about trying an insulin pump or seeing what life without tubes is all about. Unlike traditional tube pumps, you can try Omni pod without being locked into a four year contract. You might even be eligible for a free trial, go to diabetes dash connections.com and click on the Omnipod logo for full safety risk information and free trial Terms and Conditions. Also visit omnipod.com/diabetes connections. Now back to Heather answering my question about this seven day infusion set   Heather Lackey  15:03 That's exactly right. One kind of new feature of the mini med seven add system is the extended infusion set. And that extended infusion set. It's been launched for a few months in a few different countries. But it comes now with de minimis 780G system, and really allowing people to just kind of have to think about changing a center and changing their infusions that just one day out of the week versus anymore. And so that system, you know, I have so many people that will go have our youth told us for years, you know, that we have to change our infusion set every three days. And why are we able to start to use that system now, and just been using that now for seven days. And the the, it's really simple to explain without getting into a lot of engineering details, but that infusions that is made with this advanced material. And what it does is it helps to reduce the insulin preservative, you know, kind of the loss that we would typically have, it helps to maintain the insulin flow. And it helps to maintain the stability of the unfolding. And so there's such a reduced risk of any kind of blockage or occlusions, with your infusion set whenever you use this new extended infusion set. And I always have to remind patients and people with that need us and their families, make sure you're only using the extended infusion set for seven days, and you're not using your current infusions that are that long, because the materials are different.   Stacey Simms  16:41 Yeah, good point. Can you use any insulin in those extended infusion sets?   Heather Lackey  16:47 So well, in the mini med 780G system, the insolence that are approved and on label are human log and Nova logs. So both of those are available to us with that set.   Stacey Simms  16:59 So no, Lusia if I ask, just checking, those are not approved at this time. Got it? Got it. I had a listener ask if the duration of insulin is adjustable, you know, is that a setting that people can kind of go in and tinker with?   Heather Lackey  17:13 Yeah, so active insulin kind of talks about the or is our duration and insulin kind of tuning knob that is in the programmable settings on the mini med 780G pump, the active insulin Time is of the two settings that are critical is one of the two, right the first setting is the auto label target, you know, looking at that 100 glucose target for most people with diabetes, but then also setting the active insulin time to two hours. And a lot of people will say, Look, I have never had active insulin or insulin on board. I've never thought that human log or Nova log was out of my body in just a couple of hours. And so it's interesting that Medtronic is recommending a two hour active insulin time. Why is that? And the real answer is this is what the algorithm was designed around, right, it's fine to have the ability to, you know, the algorithm is asking the patient, if you set the active insulin time to two hours, then that gives me the ability to calculate insulin, if I think it's needed, right, that doesn't always mean that you're just gonna get insulin stacked on top of, you know, each other dose on top of a dose every two hours. It just means that gives the algorithm the ability to give correction sooner. And whenever you're giving those auto correction. as frequently as every five minutes, it makes sense to be able to just kind of give the algorithm the freedom to make the decision if it's needed. And anytime I have someone that really wants to debate this, and understand how the algorithm works, I just always have to say, let's just look at the data. And you know, we're not stalking we're not having hypoglycemia in the 10s of 1000s of patients that we have data on.   Stacey Simms  19:06 Yeah, it's actually I wish I had a diabetes educator. Maybe this will be for another episode. You are obviously a diabetes educator. But it'd be fun to have somebody else from a different pump company because other pump companies will say no, no, no, exactly. As you're saying like you're stacking insulin. We set it this way for a reason. It's not adjustable for a reason. Is this two hour duration. A different setting from previous Medtronic pumps forgive me? I'm not as familiar with them.   Heather Lackey  19:29 You don't know. That's a great question. They see it the same accident one time. Honestly that has been a part of the bolus calculator settings, the bolus wizard and now the smartcard bolus feature that even since the paradigm days, right, when the bolus calculator was first presented, we're now looking at decades ago with the active insulin time. So it's the same setting we've had, but now it's kind of viewed in a different way than Then it has been in the past, right? In the past, it was very traditional, like you're saying and, and kind of how patients will think of it with, you know, whenever I'm in conversation with them, they're like, How can this be. And the simple fact is, with setting the accidents one time, as low as two hours, which is what we see the best control, the best time and range and the lowest time below range, right? So the fueler lows is actually set at two hours. And what that does is it just is a tuning algorithm knob. And it says, Hey, algorithm I'm going to allow you to give, if you determine that it's necessary, meet Insulet. And because you're looking at my rate of change, you're looking at how much insulin is on board, you know, how many grams of carbohydrate that I've entered, it takes all of this information into account and decide if action should be taken. And what lovely is the patient, the person with diabetes that mom, dad, the family, they don't have to make any of those decision, the system is doing it for them.   Stacey Simms  21:05 It should have probably started with this question. But what does the algorithm use as a starting base? You know, we're used to traditional insulin pumps where you sit with your educator or your doctor and you say, Here's my basal rate, here's my sensitivity factor or correction factor, or, as we're talking about here, duration, there is a pump in front of the FDA right now that just uses body weight. What is the 780? G use?   Heather Lackey  21:26 Yeah, that's a great question as well, algorithm really start with total daily dose of insulin, kind of as it is its starting point, right, the calculation. And that's why whenever you are new on the mini meds 780G system, people have to stay in manual mode. So the kind of the non auto basal in auto correction kind of piece of it. So they stay in manual mode for 224 hour days, right. So it's two days in manual mode. And then there's enough data as a starting point for this system to be able to, to say, Okay, this is a safe basal amount for you to begin with. In addition, if there's sensor glucose tracings, in that 48 hours of kind of that warmup period, to the smart guard feature, then those fasting sensor glucose level pump is looking to see like, how much insulin Do you require, whenever you're not announcing meals and, and so it see, okay, this is your center, glucose is in a fasting state. Now, how much auto Basil is being delivered. And that is kind of the two main pieces of information of how the system decides how much auto basil to begin with, and to deliver,   Stacey Simms  22:49 got it, can the user switch back to manual mode,   Heather Lackey  22:53 yet, they can, at any time, they can stop the smart guard feature, we know that the data is so overwhelmingly heavy weights heavy on the smart guard side. So we definitely see a major difference in time and range being improved. Whenever people are in this barcard feature versus in manual mode, right? They're always encouraged to say and   Stacey Simms  23:16 got it but the system doesn't like. And I hesitate to say it this way. But you'll know exactly what I mean, the system isn't kicking people out as much as one of the very early automated systems for Medtronic, right? That was a big complaint with the 670 was I got kicked out of auto mode.   Heather Lackey  23:30 That was a complaint. And we know that whenever the mini med six, seven ad system, the first hybrid closed loop system of its time was a pretty conservative algorithm, right? Because it was first of its kind, Medtronic really had to build on a number of safety precautions. And in many cases that led to those unwanted alerts and alarms and interactions with the pump to keep the system kind of in that auto mode, smart guard auto mode feature. And so with this, we the exits on mini med 780 G system. I mean, they're just not happening, right. And again, though, the number one of two goals of this system was to reduce the daily interactions with the system. So we can't have beats and alerts and alarms. And hey, you have to enter a BG all the time in order to stay in to the automation mode. This is a big difference that people especially those that have been on previous hybrid closed loop systems of all kinds, they're like this is really a pretty big change right? exits at night, exit in the daytime alerts at night. Those are some of the things that are really different from a user lens. Whenever I hear anyone asked my husband, you know, like what kind of from your standpoint In a view, what's the biggest change with you seeing your wife were the minimis 780G system for a while. And he just says, look, it just doesn't wake us up at night. And he just seems to be a little bit more pleased. A lot of surveys that have been conducted all throughout, you know, the countries where people are using and wearing many hats, 7080 G system, you know, it's like 94 95% of people are saying that they're satisfied with the impact on the their quality of life, they're happier with the quality sleep, that's one that's pretty high, ranked and desired by many. So for us to get a good night's rest and to feel confident to go to bed, lay our head down, not have lows or highs not have alerts and alarms. That's the system that we need. And that that's what people are enjoying.   Stacey Simms  25:54 One more question about manual mode, a listener had asked me is manual mode usable during the auto mode? In other words, if somebody really feels like they need to do an additional bolus, can they do it?   Heather Lackey  26:05 It can be done, but I would kind of ask why do they feel like it needs to be done? Right? Why would you need to go out to manual mode if you need to give an additional bolus. So carbs can be entered at any time that those are consumed? Right, we definitely want to announce our mills. And at any time in the smartguard feature, a patient can always look to see if if they what we kind of say a user initiated correction dose is needed. So you don't you know, I don't ever want people to feel like once I'm in the smart guard feature, guy can't take action. If I see glucose, where I don't want it to be or if I've eaten something that I didn't tell it, you know, go ahead and deliverable list, at least check to see if a bolus should be given. And maybe some of the feedback that patients had on mini med 670 G system where they felt like they had to enter in perhaps kind of ghost carbs or fake carbs when they weren't actually eating them to kind of trick the algorithm to giving more insulin, I think you'll find with now that control that we have able to control on this system like that active insulin times and the auto basal. I don't see that people at all are having to what we say automate the automation? Well,   Stacey Simms  27:27 yeah, we let me ask you a follow up on that. Because I don't know anybody who uses an AI D system who just puts in meal boluses and says, Great, I'm always in the range I want to be are you saying that's what's happening with the 780?   Heather Lackey  27:39 Well, I'm saying that anytime that you eat in any of the AIP systems, right, you can you can enter those grams of carbohydrate. But because many meds 780G system gives the autocorrection doses starting at anytime, and glucose is over 120 systems. If the auto basal can't handle that glucose response, then they're gonna get it. So because you start you intervene the system intervene early and intervene often, there's less of the need to take matters in your own hand. Right. So it's a different mindset. Really it?   Stacey Simms  28:18 Yeah, no, it's absolutely it sounds great. Well, we'll see. When you said meal announcements, to be clear, you're talking about carb counting and putting in the numbers of carbs you're eating, you're You're not just saying I am eating?   Heather Lackey  28:31 You're saying I Yes. You're you're entering grams of carbohydrate. Thank you for clarifying going   Stacey Simms  28:36 no, I'm just you know, I know it's coming. It's amazing to see how these things are changing. I just want to be clear as we go. Yeah. Well,   Heather Lackey  28:42 you know, that's kind of a segue Stacey to a lot of the different thoughts on do people have to now with autocorrection? Do people have to be so precise on the grams of carbohydrate that they're entering into those bits? Okay. Well,   Stacey Simms  28:59 let me give you Yeah, let me let's segue into that. Let me give you the best case use that I can make in my house or something like this. I have an 18 year old, he's a great kid. He's very responsible with diabetes. He is terrible about bowling before he eats. It's just it's just not happening. And so we have a lot of, you know, excursions that perhaps don't necessarily need to be happening. I would be thrilled at a more aggressive post meal bolused system. So talk me through what happens to scenarios for you. Somebody has an AD of just throw 85 carbs out there because this happened recently. So somebody has an 85 carb dinner, they bolus five minutes after they finish it. Or somebody has an 85 carb dinner and completely forgets to bolus how does the system handle those things? Oh, yeah.   Heather Lackey  29:45 Well, I'd love to show you my report. Because not only does it happen with an 18 year old, it happens with me more than I would like oh my goodness. I plan for 33 years. How am I forgetting to push the button,   Stacey Simms  30:01 I love it, you're human, you're human. I'm totally   Heather Lackey  30:04 human. So the 85 gram carb dinner, and they bill it five minutes later, right? We know that if you are not giving insulin before the meal, right, you're gonna have food most likely showing up to the party before the insulin arrives, right, so you're gonna have food, their glucose is gonna rise because of the food digest. And then here comes insulin. In that case, we would say, Look, if then, you know, if you're really bolusing, after the meal, you probably are going to need to reduce your meal Bolin, than we have some exact parameters for healthcare providers to kind of discuss with their patients. But you know, on average, it's like, look, probably just dose for, you know, maybe that path in your case, maybe it's not, because as you know, as those is that sensor, glucose starts to rise, the auto basal start to increase, it gets to the maximum, let's say, and then here comes the auto correction. And then you've got insulin, you know, from the bolus still showing up to the party at that point. So what's so great about this system is it knows like, okay, auto Basil is increasing, then there's some, you know, potential auto corrections, as soon as the bullet is given, the system goes, Okay, let's just, let's back off, right, let's see, what's gonna happen with the system before we really just push the pedal to the metal and start giving more correction. Right? So everything is done with the total safety in mind, right, which is something that's so great. Now for the 85 grams of carbohydrate, and they don't bolus at all, well, then that's really what are the auto corrections and the auto basil can shine, that's really where you're going to see sensor glucose is rising. And am I going to say they're never going to go high with an 85 gram carbon bill, I would say that wouldn't be, you know, really unlikely, depending on what what the nutrients are in that food, I would think it was going to be unlikely. And so glucose is going to rise, the system is going to to handle it as as well as it can. But what I can see time and time again, with when mills are skipped, that patients don't go as high and they don't say as high as long. But we have a study that actually support that patient who did zero pole was seeing for a period of time. So this is every single meal for this length of time. And I'd have to look at the report to know exactly the days, but their time and range was just right under that 70% of time and rain. Yeah. And so that's not at all what we are recommending, because we know that if you bolus and you're using the recommended settings, it doesn't matter if you're eight year old, or if you are a 18 year old, or if you're a 58 year old or if you're a 78 year old, we know that for everyone, you can have an upward time and range of 80% plus, right. So we know it's better. And we absolutely want to provide the charge that we should be announcing mil but it's so nice, whenever the occasional I forgot to bolus to you know,   Stacey Simms  33:29 sort of occasional   Unknown Speaker  33:32 got your back for some more than   Stacey Simms  33:36 excellent. I did get this question about the bolusing system, how much of a correction is given? Because on some of these other systems, it's a partial correction. I don't know if you can share that, you know, it's it may be part of the algorithm that you can't share. And then also, how does the system differentiate? Or does it between a missed meal and a random high? You know, a high that may come for another reason?   Heather Lackey  33:57 Yeah. Thank you good questions. Okay. So for the repeat the first one, if you don't mind, sure   Stacey Simms  34:03 how much of a correction is given, you know, like on the T slim, I think I may not be correct here, but it's something like, you know, once an hour can give 60% of the program to bolus. So is that something that the Medtronic keep some good and maybe proprietary? Well,   Heather Lackey  34:16 I can tell you this is the difference with the mini med 780G system is it gives a full correction, you know, if needed every five minutes and every correction bolus, right? It's like if you were giving a correction yourself with a pump, you're going to enter your glucose. The system does the same. It says look, this is where the glucose is. This is where I want it to be. And it's targeting 120 Whenever it's giving a correction dose of insulin, right. That's why after 120 it can start to deliver a correction dose and it looks at the difference and it sees how much insulin is going to be needed. And then it also applies other metrics as well like how much insulin is circulating in the body and And then it determine the safe amount that is going to be needed every five minutes. Got it?   Stacey Simms  35:06 Got it. Okay, great. And then the other question is about does the system differentiate between, you know, missing a meal or a high for another reason? And I could think of highs, you know, and teenagers for, you know, hormones or exercise, things like that, does the system differentiate? And I guess the follow up is, does it need to, or is a high, just a high,   Heather Lackey  35:24 you know, really high is the high and and that's what's so great about the the system anytime there is a rising rate of change, and you know, parameters are met, that the pump says, Wait a second, this is a rising rate. Oftentimes, it's a meal that's missed right? To meet the parameters. When the system sees that this is Matt, what it does is it allows a correction dose to be delivered even a little bit more aggressively. Right. So you know, it does have a mill detection module built in. It has mill detection technology built in, but it doesn't so much say, Oh, this is your sensor, glucose is rising now because of the meal. So I'm going to act this way. Versus your since your glucose is rising, because you have hormone releasing in the middle of the night and you're sleeping, right. Either way, this system is looking at the sensor glucose response. And if it's corrections need to be delivered in a more aggressive manner, or larger corrections need to be delivered either way, then the system is able to do that. You know,   Stacey Simms  36:40 we've mentioned several times that you live with type 1 diabetes. I mean, I know I can talk to you about the pump for probably another two hours. And I hope you'll come back on and we can talk more about it. But I want to ask you about your your journey. You were diagnosed as a teenager, what did you use what was the first diabetes technology, I assume it was a blood sugar meter. coming right back to Heather in just a second. But first Diabetes Connections is brought to you by Dexcom. And Benny has been using the Dexcom CGM for almost 10 years now, that first insertion was in 2013, just before he turned nine. I mean, it was great. Then if you've done finger sticks for a while you know how amazing it is to go from that to continuous glucose monitoring. But it is even better. Now. The Dexcom CGM systems just keep improving, continuing to get more and more accurate with no finger sticks or scanning required. The easy push button insertion has made it easy for Benny to do it himself. He has done every one since we switched to the GS six in 2018, which is really great for his independence back then, as a younger teen. Of course, we still love the alerts and alarms, and that we can set them how we want if your glucose alerts and readings for the G six do not match symptoms or expectations. Use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions. To learn more, go to diabetes connections.com and click on the Dexcom logo. Now back to Heather talking about what things were like she was diagnosed at age 16.   Heather Lackey  38:10 Yeah, you know, I was diagnosed in 1990. And of course, I had a meter. The old lancing device that I had was the one that you lay on the table and it's spring loaded and it like warm around like a hammerhead, and it would poke your finger. Right. So that was my first one. And you know, I was just on conventional insulin therapy, right, at least had disposable syringes. I wasn't sharpening a needle or have a glass of orange or anything like that. And you know, for me, Stacy, my parents were so great. My dad worked internationally. And they were just constantly talking to people like what, there's got to be something that right because I was doing everything I could, I mean, I really tried hard. And I have for, you know, three decades, tried hard to really kind of manage things. And they said, you know, there's got to be something better. And that was right at the end was actually before the end of the DCCT trial, when my parents were told, Hey, there's, we've got to get her on something better. We're starting to notice that these multiple daily injections are going to be a lot better. So went to went and started multiple daily injections. And at that point, this was in 1992. At that point, they they the healthcare team said you ought to consider a tump you're you're young your parents have insurance. You guys are certainly kind of wanting to have the best control you should consider a pump and Stacy for cash for seven years. The first seven years after I was diagnosed I did not want an insulin pump to save my life. I wouldn't even think about it until someone said hey, I had gained some weight in college, as many females and male do and I was trying to lose weight exercising to on the elliptical and or the treadmill, either one. And every time I would exercise, I would go low. And every time I would go low, I would have to have juice and peanut butter crackers, or whatever the case was, and I was having more calories than I had exercised off, you know, you can see the counter of your calories that you're burning. And I'm like, This is ridiculous, I'm going to continue to go low, and not be able to trim down my weight some, and I didn't have the right tools. And so that's the reason I started on a pump and then have been on a pump. For the last, I don't know, 2026 27 years, maybe when you   Stacey Simms  40:37 used to do a lot of patient training on insulin pumps, I know you still do some now, I'm even in your role here. What are their biggest concerns? You know, there's a lot of mechanical learning if you've never used an insulin pump before. But there's also as you mentioned, there's a reluctance sometimes. Can you share a little bit about what patients tell you?   Heather Lackey  40:54 I think the unknown is the biggest thing for patients, right? They don't know if it's surgical, they don't know if it how this goes in how you disconnect, how you're going to get live. The five emphases as I call it, you know, how do you sleep? How do you shower? How do you swim? How do you go in, you know, with exercise and do sports, what happens with intimacy and things like that, you know, those are unknown if you haven't met with a an educator or you haven't had a friend or even a health care provider that's kind of talked to you through that. So I think once people understand how insulin pumps and continuous glucose sensors kind of work inside of our life, and really how easy they are. The trainings are so much more simplified today, because the therapy is so much easier, right? And so I think once they start to see they're starting to put the pieces together, like the technology is working in the background, I don't have to work as hard. Here's the the, you know, two or three things that I have to do change my infusion set once a week, change the sensor once a week, and then I have to enter some grams of carbohydrate, however those grams of carbohydrate are calculated, then they start to understand this is not as big of a deal.   Stacey Simms  42:09 All right, I have to go back. You said the five S's and then I kind of heard you editing as you went, you can say six on this podcast. But what were the other ones we had sleep swim.   Heather Lackey  42:18 So fleet that were when boarding and zek?   Stacey Simms  42:22 That's great. I love that list. That's a great list. All right, before I let you go, I can't let you leave without talking about Purple Hearts, this Netflix movie that you were a consultant on, right? Tell me a little bit about what happened there. This is a character that has type one. And she marries a marine to get benefits health benefits. And it's a very romantic story. How did you come to be a consultant on that? And what was it like? Well, what was so interesting   Heather Lackey  42:46 about this, I mean, it was I mean, what a one and a life champ or V I mean, it was really great. The director, or producer, I think it was the director, she had reached out to Medtronic, specifically, because she was, you know, obviously going to be doing this movie, and the hurt. So her team had reached out to Medtronic. And she really wanted to one US product in the movie. But I guess her colleagues and friends and and others that he had talked to whenever she mentioned that this character was going to have type 1 diabetes. They were all like, Yeah, well, we, you know, we've learned that Medtronic pump for, you know, years and years. And so that's why she reached out, right, so reached out to our communications team and our marketing team. And those teams were so great to say, hey, look, they're going to be using a pump and sensor on the set, they might need to have some help. Just making sure that everything is used correctly. And you know, you're always in film, in movies, etc. Whenever I see things being used in an incorrect way. So yeah, so anyway, I was able to go out on the set. And then, you know, one thing just kind of led to another and they were like, well, you know, we're gonna need someone to train. You know, Sophia Carson is the actress. I mean, like, what an amazing thing to be able to beat her and all the other dudes amazing talent on that, that and they were like, Why don't you I mean that you do this? So why don't you just do this in the movie. And I was so happy that that tiny little piece was not cut it, it was such an important thing for my friends and family to be able to see so. And it really does kind of make people with type one I've heard over and over it was kind of cool for the film to kind of walk through people without type 1 diabetes. Like there's a trainee, you know, like, we have to get to understand how to use this equipment. And it's kind of the big day whenever you go on an insulin pump. The coolest thing about the scene that I was in with Sophia Carson, whenever she we finished the scene and she got on the system and we had everything is moving and working at and it was it was there. She was like, Heather, this is amazing that people go through this. And then she was like, gonna give you a hug like this is like I feel empowered having this system on me whenever I'm playing a character that has type 1 diabetes, so it was very organic and natural. And that wasn't anywhere in the script, you know. So it was just a true testament to how powerful technology is and people with diabetes. Five,   Stacey Simms  45:31 is there going to be a second one?   Heather Lackey  45:32 I have pushed. I have said, I hope that there is everybody wants to know what happened to those two characters. I don't know about it, but I would I would love to see a second movie as well.   Stacey Simms  45:45 That'd be great. Well, we will leave it there. Thank you so much for sharing so much of your time with me. I would love to have you back on to talk more about this system. We still have a lot of questions. I'm sure we just scratched the surface. But I really appreciate your time. Thanks so much for sharing so much information.   Unknown Speaker  45:59 Thank you Stacey. Have a great day.   Stacey Simms  46:05 You're listening to Diabetes Connections with Stacey Simms. Lutz where information with diabetes dash connections.com. I know we didn't get to all of your questions. I will definitely talk to the folks from Medtronic. Again, I thought Heather was really terrific. And she laid everything out. I loved her five S's. But you should also know that the 780 G she mentioned this. It's currently approved for users seven years old and above with type one, they have started taking pre orders that happened in the middle of May, and they will be shipping later this summer. throughout the US. If you have a 770 G, you will be eligible for a free upgrade through remote software.

It'll give you all the information that you need. I'm taking a deep breath because as I have been telling you, my May was bananas. It was wonderful. It was busy and all the best ways. But I mean, I went to Ireland at the beginning of the month. Then I went to New Orleans for my daughter's graduation. Then we had a giant family reunion at my house. So hopefully as you're hearing this, nothing that busy has popped up for the month of June. What I do have on the calendar is the ADA Scientific Sessions conference toward the end of this month. I have never been to this. I've always tried to make it but it's never worked out. So I have immediate pass. I have my microphones packed Well, not yet, really. But I am going to be going and talking to all of these companies. I'll be putting stuff in the Facebook group. So please join Diabetes Connections, the group or sign up for our newsletter. And you can do that at diabetes dash connections.com Because I'm gonna be asking what you want here, who do you want me to talk to what questions you want me to ask. I'm going to try to do a whole bunch of interviews while I'm there and set up a whole bunch more. You can always email me Stacey at diabetes connections.com. I'm super excited about going to this event and really hoping to bring your questions to more of these folks. As I mentioned at the beginning of the show, I am scheduled to talk to beta bionics about the eyelet so that should be next week's episode. And of course we have in the news this Friday to fill you in if there are any more FDA approvals a there's more stuff in front of them. This has been a really interesting year so far, and we're not halfway through. Thank you to my editor John Buchanan, audio editing solutions. Thank you so much for listening. I'm Stacey Simms. I'll see you back here soon until the end. Be kind to yourself.

Les diplômes sont-ils la voie royale vers la réussite ? Les choses qu'on aurait aimé savoir plus tôt ont-elles eu un impact négatif ou positif sur notre vie ? Je vous invite à écouter cet épisode édifiant sur toutes les plateformes. https://linktr.ee/Gbetedem Dans cet épisode spécial, je parle de ce que j'aurais aimé savoir et de mes leçons pour l'année 2022. J'aurais aimé savoir que les diplômes ne sont pas forcément la voie royale vers la réussite, que l'Éternel bénit même ceux qui sont mal vus par la communauté chrétienne et que rien n'est permanent. J'aurais également aimé discuter des réalités qui entourent la vie de couple avec mes parents. J'aurais voulu cerner plus tôt que tous ceux que je rencontre ne sont pas forcément comme moi, qu'ils n'ont pas toujours les mêmes intérêts que moi en termes de relations humaines. Et toi, as-tu déjà vécu le jugement de ton entourage à cause de ta différence ? Te retrouves-tu dans ces choses que je partage dans cet épisode ? PS.

本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注这两天有一条新闻大家应该都看到了，一位叫周冠宇的年轻小伙儿签约了阿尔法·罗密欧车队，成为了F1历史上第一位中国车手。很多人对F1并不感兴趣，但是听到中国历史上首位就觉得非常牛x，也跟着兴奋了一把。这估计就跟前不久EDG夺冠，门卫大爷也跟着兴奋了一把一个道理。这两天后台很多人发来私信，希望我聊聊周冠宇，大家对他都很好奇，想知道这位帅小伙的家庭背景。大家这么关心周冠宇，是要给人家介绍对象吗？其实很多人虽然不看F1赛事，但也知道这是一项非常非常烧钱的运动，但是具体烧到什么程度，很少有人能说的出来。那么培养一位F1车手大约需要花费多少？周冠宇是靠实力成为了F1车手，还是有大佬刷脸或者砸钱换来的名额？在周冠宇之前，中国历史上有没有差一点就成为F1车手的前辈？周冠宇今后会成为舒马赫那样的F1冠军吗？中国赛车文化现在是什么水平？为什么中国的汽车企业没有一家参与F1赛事？今天这期节目，咱们就聊聊这些话题，由于我本人不是资深F1车迷，如有讲解不到位的地方，还望大佬们在评论区批评指正。首先，培养一位F1车手大约需要多少钱？2008年中国赛车圈的前辈，大名鼎鼎的车手程丛夫接受采访时亲口说过：“我是离F1最近的中国车手，我的父母为了培养我玩赛车，花了至少这么多。”他竖起一根手指，有人猜100万？1000万？兄弟们大胆点，是一个亿。程丛夫说：“我实在不能再烧父母的钱了，这是个无底洞。”程丛夫84年生人，跟我同年，他曾代表国家队参加A1世界杯方程式锦标赛，他跑过勒芒24小时耐力赛，参加过DTM德国房车大师赛，登上过纽博格林24小时耐力赛的领奖台。19岁就签约了迈凯轮车队，23岁就获得了参加英国F3赛事的机会，可以说他距离F1已经非常近。可惜只要你一天没进入F1车队，你就得拼命烧钱训练。当年唯一愿意赞助他的赞助商是一个国内的烟草公司，欧洲禁止烟草公司赞助，所以他自费训练了一年，最终还是放弃了。（程丛夫）程丛夫之后，中国F1希望又寄托在了马青骅身上。马青骅87年出生，比程丛夫小三岁，我在聊韩寒传记的时候提到过他。2010年中国房车锦标赛，马青骅和韩寒分别代表北京现代和上海大众车队，呼和浩特站马青骅赢了韩寒，北京站韩寒赢了马青骅。2012年马青骅成为第一位在F1大奖赛上驾驶赛车的中国车手，注意，这不是正式比赛，只是试车的机会。（韩寒）很快马青骅同HRT车队签约，当时的媒体已经把中国F1第一人的头衔给到他了。谁知最后来了个反转，2012年12月，HRT车队由于未交纳基础参赛费的50万美元，被国际汽联除名，最终无缘2013年的F1。所以马青骅曾经也被质疑是炒作，这锅背得不明不白。马青骅后来又签约卡特汉姆车队，但位置也很快被取代。最终，马青骅没有实现F1梦想。（编辑新一和马青骅（右）的合影）中国香港车手方骏宇，90年出生在加拿大温哥华，97年返回香港，他真的是差一点就成了F1车手，因为2015年签约了路特斯F1车队，但最终还是无缘F1赛场成为真正的车手 。其实主要还是钱没到位，在F1赛道上跑一趟就得花费大约200万人民币。从低级别的方程式F4，一路晋级到GP3和GP2分别训练2年，没有赞助，就得自己找钱来烧。毕竟不是每一个人都能像汉密尔顿那样被迈凯伦一路买单。还有董荷斌，82年出生于荷兰阿姆斯特丹，祖父母那一代就从温州移民到了荷兰。前两年国内某品牌找他做代言，他本人我见过，非常帅气，中文都讲不太好，他顶多算是F1历史上第一位华人车手，不能叫中国车手。他2010年加入雷诺 F1车队，作为车队的第三车手。啥叫第三车手呢，比如第一、第二车手俩人去外地喝酒，结果是个带星的城市，健康码变色了，第二天进不了赛车场。那第三车手就可以上了，相当于足球、篮球的替补队员。但如果第一、第二车手都正常，第三车手就永远坐在冷板凳上。（董荷斌）如果连董荷斌都算中国背景的F1车手，那马拉西亚籍的华裔熊龙，应该是第一个真正参加F1比赛的华人了。他父亲是当地华人，母亲是英国人。2001年在马来西亚政府及万能彩票公司的支持下，加入了意大利米纳尔迪F1车队。了解完以上背景，大家应该知道周冠宇成为F1历史上第一位中国车手对F1车迷来说，意义到底有多重大了。周冠宇是根正苗红的中国人，他出生在上海，12岁就去到英国中部的谢菲尔德开始了练习赛车的生涯。当然，这绝对不是普通家庭的孩子能走的人生道路的。99%的孩子还是得靠父母呕心沥血搞套学区房，然后获得较好的教育资源，考上不错的大学，过一段平凡的人生。所以大家一定很好奇周冠宇的父母到底是做什么的？其实，周冠宇的父母也没有大家想象中那么豪。跟斯特罗尔和马泽平这种顶级富二代F1车手相比，周冠宇与前者的差距，就是我们与王思聪之间的差距。因为前两位F1车手的老爹，一个买了支F1车队，一个正准备买F1车队。有人可能会问，周冠宇父母肯定也是土豪，就不能也买一支F1车队给他玩吗？别开玩笑了，买一支车队得花10个亿，运营1年再花10个亿，别说周冠宇家里买不起，就是国内的汽车厂也不一是谁都能买的起。一家中国车企一年盈利在100多亿已经算是非常不错的水平了，让他们砸20多亿在F1赛事上，性价比还不如冠名综艺节目和足球篮球这种体育赛事。不过，周冠宇的家底比我们大多数人那肯定是强的不是一星半点。周冠宇老爹名下有23家公司，其中有四家公司是以儿子冠宇的名字命名的，分别是：冠宇汽车销售服务有限公司、潍坊冠宇体育健身有限公司、潍坊冠宇汽车销售有限公司、潍坊冠宇中意汽车服务有限公司。如果有山东潍坊的粉丝，应该知道当地有个冠宇汽车园吧？长安福特、北京现代、东风日产、广汽本田、宝马4S店都是他家的。周叔叔还有一家公司叫潍坊冠成汽车销售服务有限公司，周冠宇的妹妹就叫周冠成。当然这些都不重要，他老爹的公司还有很多股东，据说其中一位比他爹还牛，是真的有矿的那种，这人是他爹的兄弟，周冠宇的叔叔。我曾经在4s店干了10来年，我的第一任老板就跟周冠宇他爹差不多，在南京有十几家4s店，一年流水几十亿，就算能赚几个亿，也不算是中国顶级富豪。不过，拿出几千万给儿子练练车应该是问题不大的。而且这次传言他能成为F1车手，是因为背后有3000万欧的赞助“带资进组”，这在F1圈子里也很正常。人家F1前任掌门伯尼都说了，F1不是体育比赛，是商业活动。想在全球打响知名度，就来F1烧钱搞赞助，没实力的企业就别碰这个无底洞了。其实随便国内哪个企业拿出3个亿赞助，并不是什么大问题。你看欧洲杯，中国企业那广告砸的是乌央乌央的。可是，周冠宇背后有自己的家族企业，所以这笔赞助是内部消化了，还是有外援，不得而知。周冠宇家里有条件允许他玩车，那他本人有没有这方面天赋呢？毫无疑问，天赋肯定是有的，任何竞技运动天赋都很重要，无论是丁俊晖打台球，还是EDG打英雄联盟。但是比天赋更重要的是得有人能发掘你的天赋。还好，周冠宇老爹不仅是个车贩子，还是狂热的赛车爱好者。如果他老爹把周冠宇安排在山东潍坊培养，估计现在他就是本地10几家4s店的老总了。他爹把周冠宇放在上海，就是要培养他玩车的氛围。2004年中国第一次F1赛事在上海国际赛车场举办，周冠宇那时候才5岁，老爸就带着他去看比赛了。那场比赛，西班牙车手阿隆索获得了冠军，周冠宇挥舞着雷诺车队的大旗，老爹给他拍了张照，我估计他爹那时候喝再多酒，也不敢吹牛皮，说自己儿子将来一定能跟阿隆索同场竞技。谁曾想17年后的今天，周冠宇儿时的偶像，成了自己的对手，这牛x吹一辈子都值了。7岁的时候，周冠宇老爹带着他去上海曲阳卡丁车场刷圈，他第一次在父亲的陪同下坐上双座卡丁车，咬着牙闭着眼睛，紧紧抓住老爹的衣服跑完全程。天赋是需要启蒙的，有这样疯狂的老爹，小周的血液里慢慢就流淌出了赛车的基因。8岁的时候，周冠宇第一次尝试玩卡丁车。他老爹一看，嚯，儿子挺有天赋，于是直接在潍坊自家的汽车园区里，给建了个卡丁车练习场，耗资1200万。大家也别惊呼WC，如果当年他爹是买地建的卡丁车场，那现如今这块地的价值估计够儿子玩好几年F1了。天赋就是老天爷赏饭吃，卡丁车我也带我女儿玩过，我女儿今年9岁，我看她开卡丁车的状态，我都不准备将来让她考驾照了，还是将来给她配个司机比较安全。周冠宇11岁的时候，老爹就鼓励他参加全国卡丁车锦标赛，结果8战8胜，拿下了全国卡丁车锦标赛所有分站的冠军。没办法，家里有赛道的孩子，就赢你在起跑线上，不服不行。眼瞅着中国也没什么对手了，周冠宇老爹就安排他去英国玩玩，看看能不能在哪儿也跑出点成绩。当然，如果真跑不出成绩，就回来好好读书，然后继承几十亿家业。于是12岁的周冠宇就来到了英国中部的谢菲尔德，英国这里赛车氛围非常浓厚，光是卡丁车比赛每年就有22000人参与。很多F1车手，都是从卡丁车锦标赛一路走过来的，所以这里也是F1车手的摇篮。周冠宇老爹在英国找人打招呼，加上自己儿子在国内大佬屠杀新手村般的成绩，很快就让周冠宇加入了一个名叫草莓的卡丁车队。2年后，周冠宇拿下了2次冠军、1次亚军、2次季军。其中，Super one national karting championships这场比赛的冠军含金量尤其高，当年汉密尔顿、巴顿、库特哈德都曾是这个赛事的冠军。所以，14岁的中国孩子周冠宇引起了法拉利的注意。2014年，周冠宇进入法拉利学院，成为法拉利青训营史上签约过的唯一一位中国车手。虽然这法拉利学院名气很大，但据说非常势利眼，而且院里有位太子爷，车王舒马赫的独子米克舒马赫。在F1圈子里，舒马赫这个姓氏代表着巨大的财富，而米克还是传奇车王迈克尔-舒马赫的独子，所以各方面的资源都朝着他倾斜。但就算待遇不平等，也得熬过这5年，毕竟从法拉利青训营毕业，那就等于是简历上镀了一层金。在这5年里，他从低级别方程式F4赛事开始，不停地刷新个人成绩。15岁就获得了FIA意大利F4年度亚军，新秀组冠军。一个赛季后，直接进军F3。三年后，他终于在FIA欧洲F3锦标赛拿下了法国波城站冠军。大家听的是不是很过瘾？但这背后每年都是成百上千万的投入，没有钱你一天训练也别想继续。虽然从F4到F3，好像距离F1很近了，但实际上越往上希望越渺茫。想成为F1车手，简直就是大浪淘沙，能走到这一步的，其实每个人的差距都不大。2019年，19岁的周冠宇与法拉利车手学院合同到期，他转身就投奔了雷诺运动学院，参加更高级别的F2锦标赛，为成为F1车手做最后的冲刺。虽然F2距离F1只有一步之遥，但是90%的车手都止步于这个阶段。因为F1赛事只需要20位车手，周冠宇不仅要在F2赛事中拿下优异的成绩，还得有让F1车队无法拒绝的理由。2019年，作为F2新秀车手的周冠宇获得了年度第七的成绩，一整个赛季最好成绩是排名第三。到了2020年，F2赛事俄罗斯站，周冠宇拿下了分站冠军。国歌第一次在F2方程式赛场上响起，那时候追随周冠宇的中国粉丝，已经热泪盈眶过一次了。后来，他又拿下了摩洛哥分站冠军。到了2021年，雷诺改名Alpine，周冠宇作为青训队员，积分榜排名第二。同年的F1奥地利站第一次练习赛期间，周冠宇代表Alpine车队驾驶阿隆索的赛车跑了几圈，心情无比激动。再后来的故事，大家就都知道了。前两天宣布，签约阿尔法·罗密欧车队，正式成为了F1车手。要知道，把天赋或者兴趣培养成职业是非常难的。我非常喜欢一个广告，广告词是这么写的：别人看到你的今天，我们看到你的昨天。别人看到你的成就，我们看到你的奋斗。别人看到你的付出，我们看到你的收获。别人看到你荣耀，我们看到你的执着。我身边有一个朋友，他儿子平时特别调皮，老师就建议家长带他去练一些能够集中注意力的运动，他想来想去，决定带孩子去练习射击。结果还真的被射击教练看上了，决定要好好培养。他孩子从小学开始，练了10几年射击，最终在省级比赛拿到了第二名，可是依然没机会进入更高级别的赛事。只能通过高考，上个普通大学，放弃走射击运动员这条路。我朋友跟我说，现在想来挺后悔的，射击又不能当工作，又不能当爱好，出不了好成绩，今后连当教练的机会都没有。同样的道理，周冠宇从8岁开始练习卡丁车，一直到如今23岁进入F1车队。家里花费上亿资金来培养他，绝对不是求他将来能靠这玩意收获更多的回报。我觉得他父母更多的是把自己的爱好，试着转化成孩子的梦想。周冠宇本人如果也喜欢开车，那咱就砸钱让他努力向上走，他父亲估计也没想到儿子这么争气，真的成为中国史上第一位F1车手。这事如果成了，那肯定是全村的骄傲，周叔叔就不再是有10几家4s店的周总，而是中国史上第一位F1车手他爹，这名号可不是花10个亿就能买来的，还得要有对赛道的信念，和烧光1个小目标微笑着离开的坚持。虽然周冠宇现在是F1车手了，但是大家也别给他太大压力，毕竟现如今的F1赛事，车辆的性能比车手的技术更重要。阿尔法·罗密欧车队在F1所有车队里是垫底的水平。阿尔法·罗密欧的赛车，就算是给汉密尔顿开，估计也拿不到冠军。但是中国人相信风水，这次周冠宇进入阿尔法·罗密欧车队的身份是2号车手，他的搭档1号车手是博塔斯。有人掐指一算，汉密尔顿和博塔斯成为队友，每一年都是世界冠军。那么周冠宇与博塔斯成为队友，说不定也能躺赢。那要这么说，中国男足就缺个贝利这样的球星，是不是挖一个过来，就算李铁带队，也能拿到世界杯冠军？F1远远不止是一个比谁跑得快的比赛。这是速度、技术、资源、政治和商业五位一体的游戏，你规则都没搞清就下场去玩，凭运气得到的，一定会靠实力输回去。所以周冠宇作为新秀，目标其实只有一个，就是进一次前十名，获得积分就行。23岁的周冠宇，对比维斯塔潘18岁进入F1比，不算早，但仍属于平均年龄。毕竟舒马赫、莱科宁、汉密尔顿等进入F1都是22岁。周冠宇最大的资本就是年轻，有足够多的时间去证明自己的F1驾驶能力。中国车企肯定也会盯着他，思考怎样通过这个契机来发展品牌全球化的布局。今天借着聊周冠宇和F1，咱们可以简单说说中国汽车赛事的发展。其实，也就才短短十几二十年。虽然早在1907年，北京-巴黎汽车拉力赛，从北京发车，看似是把中国与世界赛车运动联系到了一起，实际上中国只是个发车地点，连举办地都算不上。再之后就是1985年的港京汽车拉力赛了，当年火了一把555牌香烟，也就没有下文了。又过了十几年，1999年北京承办了WRC世界汽车拉力锦标赛，这是中国历史上最早举办的，也是国际汽联下属最高的世界级一类汽车赛事。再到2004年，上海国际赛车场建成，引入F1中国大奖赛，世界级汽车运动才真正长时间落地，并在华夏大地蔓延开来。中国是全球汽车保有量第一的大国，但是大多数国人只用车，不玩车，基本不懂什么赛车文化。不过这几年汽车赛事运动在中国发展迅猛，大家如果打开国际汽联官网，找到世界锦标赛这一级目录的，会惊讶的看到，全世界最高等级的五大世锦赛级别赛事，除了Rallycross冠军赛没在我国举办过，另外四个：F1、WRC、WEC、Fomula E都在中国举办过。我国每年举办的各种级别、各种规模、各类国家级、地区级的场地、拉力、越野、摩托等汽车和摩托车赛事数量不下千场。现如今，有蔚来333车队，拿下过Fomula E年度总冠军。有领克车队，拿下过WTCR年度总冠军。其实在我看来，咱们缺的不是中国籍的F1车手，咱们缺的是中国造的F1赛车。这一点大家一定要牢记。如果大家今天看完这期节目，对F1突然有了兴趣，其实可以看两部纪录片，开拓一下自己的知识面。一部是《Drive to Survive》，中文叫极速求生。另一部是《Chasing the Dream》，逐梦之路。看完之后，如果还是不过瘾，可以上网搜一搜F1模拟器，花个小几万，就可以配一套非常不错的了，在家里练习练习跑线。如果真的觉得自己有天赋。今后你可以报名F1电竞中国冠军赛，如果一不小心模拟器上赢了周冠宇，那你可以吹一辈子牛x了。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：

。其实主要还是钱没到位，在F1赛道上跑一趟就得花费大约200万人民币。从低级别的方程式F4，一路晋级到GP3和GP2分别训练2年，没有赞助，就得自己找钱来烧。毕竟不是每一个人都能像汉密尔顿那样被迈凯伦一路买单。还有董荷斌，82年出生于荷兰阿姆斯特丹，祖父母那一代就从温州移民到了荷兰。前两年国内某品牌找他做代言，他本人我见过，非常帅气，中文都讲不太好，他顶多算是F1历史上第一位华人车手，不能叫中国车手。他2010年加入雷诺 F1车队，作为车队的第三车手。啥叫第三车手呢，比如第一、第二车手俩人去外地喝酒，结果是个带星的城市，健康码变色了，第二天进不了赛车场。那第三车手就可以上了，相当于足球、篮球的替补队员。但如果第一、第二车手都正常，第三车手就永远坐在冷板凳上。（董荷斌）如果连董荷斌都算中国背景的F1车手，那马拉西亚籍的华裔熊龙，应该是第一个真正参加F1比赛的华人了。他父亲是当地华人，母亲是英国人。2001年在马来西亚政府及万能彩票公司的支持下，加入了意大利米纳尔迪F1车队。了解完以上背景，大家应该知道周冠宇成为F1历史上第一位中国车手对F1车迷来说，意义到底有多重大了。周冠宇是根正苗红的中国人，他出生在上海，12岁就去到英国中部的谢菲尔德开始了练习赛车的生涯。当然，这绝对不是普通家庭的孩子能走的人生道路的。99%的孩子还是得靠父母呕心沥血搞套学区房，然后获得较好的教育资源，考上不错的大学，过一段平凡的人生。所以大家一定很好奇周冠宇的父母到底是做什么的？其实，周冠宇的父母也没有大家想象中那么豪。跟斯特罗尔和马泽平这种顶级富二代F1车手相比，周冠宇与前者的差距，就是我们与王思聪之间的差距。因为前两位F1车手的老爹，一个买了支F1车队，一个正准备买F1车队。有人可能会问，周冠宇父母肯定也是土豪，就不能也买一支F1车队给他玩吗？别开玩笑了，买一支车队得花10个亿，运营1年再花10个亿，别说周冠宇家里买不起，就是国内的汽车厂也不一是谁都能买的起。一家中国车企一年盈利在100多亿已经算是非常不错的水平了，让他们砸20多亿在F1赛事上，性价比还不如冠名综艺节目和足球篮球这种体育赛事。不过，周冠宇的家底比我们大多数人那肯定是强的不是一星半点。周冠宇老爹名下有23家公司，其中有四家公司是以儿子冠宇的名字命名的，分别是：冠宇汽车销售服务有限公司、潍坊冠宇体育健身有限公司、潍坊冠宇汽车销售有限公司、潍坊冠宇中意汽车服务有限公司。如果有山东潍坊的粉丝，应该知道当地有个冠宇汽车园吧？长安福特、北京现代、东风日产、广汽本田、宝马4S店都是他家的。周叔叔还有一家公司叫潍坊冠成汽车销售服务有限公司，周冠宇的妹妹就叫周冠成。当然这些都不重要，他老爹的公司还有很多股东，据说其中一位比他爹还牛，是真的有矿的那种，这人是他爹的兄弟，周冠宇的叔叔。我曾经在4s店干了10来年，我的第一任老板就跟周冠宇他爹差不多，在南京有十几家4s店，一年流水几十亿，就算能赚几个亿，也不算是中国顶级富豪。不过，拿出几千万给儿子练练车应该是问题不大的。而且这次传言他能成为F1车手，是因为背后有3000万欧的赞助“带资进组”，这在F1圈子里也很正常。人家F1前任掌门伯尼都说了，F1不是体育比赛，是商业活动。想在全球打响知名度，就来F1烧钱搞赞助，没实力的企业就别碰这个无底洞了。其实随便国内哪个企业拿出3个亿赞助，并不是什么大问题。你看欧洲杯，中国企业那广告砸的是乌央乌央的。可是，周冠宇背后有自己的家族企业，所以这笔赞助是内部消化了，还是有外援，不得而知。周冠宇家里有条件允许他玩车，那他本人有没有这方面天赋呢？毫无疑问，天赋肯定是有的，任何竞技运动天赋都很重要，无论是丁俊晖打台球，还是EDG打英雄联盟。但是比天赋更重要的是得有人能发掘你的天赋。还好，周冠宇老爹不仅是个车贩子，还是狂热的赛车爱好者。如果他老爹把周冠宇安排在山东潍坊培养，估计现在他就是本地10几家4s店的老总了。他爹把周冠宇放在上海，就是要培养他玩车的氛围。2004年中国第一次F1赛事在上海国际赛车场举办，周冠宇那时候才5岁，老爸就带着他去看比赛了。那场比赛，西班牙车手阿隆索获得了冠军，周冠宇挥舞着雷诺车队的大旗，老爹给他拍了张照，我估计他爹那时候喝再多酒，也不敢吹牛皮，说自己儿子将来一定能跟阿隆索同场竞技。谁曾想17年后的今天，周冠宇儿时的偶像，成了自己的对手，这牛x吹一辈子都值了。7岁的时候，周冠宇老爹带着他去上海曲阳卡丁车场刷圈，他第一次在父亲的陪同下坐上双座卡丁车，咬着牙闭着眼睛，紧紧抓住老爹的衣服跑完全程。天赋是需要启蒙的，有这样疯狂的老爹，小周的血液里慢慢就流淌出了赛车的基因。8岁的时候，周冠宇第一次尝试玩卡丁车。他老爹一看，嚯，儿子挺有天赋，于是直接在潍坊自家的汽车园区里，给建了个卡丁车练习场，耗资1200万。大家也别惊呼WC，如果当年他爹是买地建的卡丁车场，那现如今这块地的价值估计够儿子玩好几年F1了。天赋就是老天爷赏饭吃，卡丁车我也带我女儿玩过，我女儿今年9岁，我看她开卡丁车的状态，我都不准备将来让她考驾照了，还是将来给她配个司机比较安全。周冠宇11岁的时候，老爹就鼓励他参加全国卡丁车锦标赛，结果8战8胜，拿下了全国卡丁车锦标赛所有分站的冠军。没办法，家里有赛道的孩子，就赢你在起跑线上，不服不行。眼瞅着中国也没什么对手了，周冠宇老爹就安排他去英国玩玩，看看能不能在哪儿也跑出点成绩。当然，如果真跑不出成绩，就回来好好读书，然后继承几十亿家业。于是12岁的周冠宇就来到了英国中部的谢菲尔德，英国这里赛车氛围非常浓厚，光是卡丁车比赛每年就有22000人参与。很多F1车手，都是从卡丁车锦标赛一路走过来的，所以这里也是F1车手的摇篮。周冠宇老爹在英国找人打招呼，加上自己儿子在国内大佬屠杀新手村般的成绩，很快就让周冠宇加入了一个名叫草莓的卡丁车队。2年后，周冠宇拿下了2次冠军、1次亚军、2次季军。其中，Super

championships这场比赛的冠军含金量尤其高，当年汉密尔顿、巴顿、库特哈德都曾是这个赛事的冠军。所以，14岁的中国孩子周冠宇引起了法拉利的注意。2014年，周冠宇进入法拉利学院，成为法拉利青训营史上签约过的唯一一位中国车手。虽然这法拉利学院名气很大，但据说非常势利眼，而且院里有位太子爷，车王舒马赫的独子米克舒马赫。在F1圈子里，舒马赫这个姓氏代表着巨大的财富，而米克还是传奇车王迈克尔-舒马赫的独子，所以各方面的资源都朝着他倾斜。但就算待遇不平等，也得熬过这5年，毕竟从法拉利青训营毕业，那就等于是简历上镀了一层金。在这5年里，他从低级别方程式F4赛事开始，不停地刷新个人成绩。15岁就获得了FIA意大利F4年度亚军，新秀组冠军。一个赛季后，直接进军F3。三年后，他终于在FIA欧洲F3锦标赛拿下了法国波城站冠军。大家听的是不是很过瘾？但这背后每年都是成百上千万的投入，没有钱你一天训练也别想继续。虽然从F4到F3，好像距离F1很近了，但实际上越往上希望越渺茫。想成为F1车手，简直就是大浪淘沙，能走到这一步的，其实每个人的差距都不大。2019年，19岁的周冠宇与法拉利车手学院合同到期，他转身就投奔了雷诺运动学院，参加更高级别的F2锦标赛，为成为F1车手做最后的冲刺。虽然F2距离F1只有一步之遥，但是90%的车手都止步于这个阶段。因为F1赛事只需要20位车手，周冠宇不仅要在F2赛事中拿下优异的成绩，还得有让F1车队无法拒绝的理由。2019年，作为F2新秀车手的周冠宇获得了年度第七的成绩，一整个赛季最好成绩是排名第三。到了2020年，F2赛事俄罗斯站，周冠宇拿下了分站冠军。国歌第一次在F2方程式赛场上响起，那时候追随周冠宇的中国粉丝，已经热泪盈眶过一次了。后来，他又拿下了摩洛哥分站冠军。到了2021年，雷诺改名Alpine，周冠宇作为青训队员，积分榜排名第二。同年的F1奥地利站第一次练习赛期间，周冠宇代表Alpine车队驾驶阿隆索的赛车跑了几圈，心情无比激动。再后来的故事，大家就都知道了。前两天宣布，签约阿尔法·罗密欧车队，正式成为了F1车手。要知道，把天赋或者兴趣培养成职业是非常难的。我非常喜欢一个广告，广告词是这么写的：别人看到你的今天，我们看到你的昨天。别人看到你的成就，我们看到你的奋斗。别人看到你的付出，我们看到你的收获。别人看到你荣耀，我们看到你的执着。我身边有一个朋友，他儿子平时特别调皮，老师就建议家长带他去练一些能够集中注意力的运动，他想来想去，决定带孩子去练习射击。结果还真的被射击教练看上了，决定要好好培养。他孩子从小学开始，练了10几年射击，最终在省级比赛拿到了第二名，可是依然没机会进入更高级别的赛事。只能通过高考，上个普通大学，放弃走射击运动员这条路。我朋友跟我说，现在想来挺后悔的，射击又不能当工作，又不能当爱好，出不了好成绩，今后连当教练的机会都没有。同样的道理，周冠宇从8岁开始练习卡丁车，一直到如今23岁进入F1车队。家里花费上亿资金来培养他，绝对不是求他将来能靠这玩意收获更多的回报。我觉得他父母更多的是把自己的爱好，试着转化成孩子的梦想。周冠宇本人如果也喜欢开车，那咱就砸钱让他努力向上走，他父亲估计也没想到儿子这么争气，真的成为中国史上第一位F1车手。这事如果成了，那肯定是全村的骄傲，周叔叔就不再是有10几家4s店的周总，而是中国史上第一位F1车手他爹，这名号可不是花10个亿就能买来的，还得要有对赛道的信念，和烧光1个小目标微笑着离开的坚持。虽然周冠宇现在是F1车手了，但是大家也别给他太大压力，毕竟现如今的F1赛事，车辆的性能比车手的技术更重要。阿尔法·罗密欧车队在F1所有车队里是垫底的水平。阿尔法·罗密欧的赛车，就算是给汉密尔顿开，估计也拿不到冠军。但是中国人相信风水，这次周冠宇进入阿尔法·罗密欧车队的身份是2号车手，他的搭档1号车手是博塔斯。有人掐指一算，汉密尔顿和博塔斯成为队友，每一年都是世界冠军。那么周冠宇与博塔斯成为队友，说不定也能躺赢。那要这么说，中国男足就缺个贝利这样的球星，是不是挖一个过来，就算李铁带队，也能拿到世界杯冠军？F1远远不止是一个比谁跑得快的比赛。这是速度、技术、资源、政治和商业五位一体的游戏，你规则都没搞清就下场去玩，凭运气得到的，一定会靠实力输回去。所以周冠宇作为新秀，目标其实只有一个，就是进一次前十名，获得积分就行。23岁的周冠宇，对比维斯塔潘18岁进入F1比，不算早，但仍属于平均年龄。毕竟舒马赫、莱科宁、汉密尔顿等进入F1都是22岁。周冠宇最大的资本就是年轻，有足够多的时间去证明自己的F1驾驶能力。中国车企肯定也会盯着他，思考怎样通过这个契机来发展品牌全球化的布局。今天借着聊周冠宇和F1，咱们可以简单说说中国汽车赛事的发展。其实，也就才短短十几二十年。虽然早在1907年，北京-巴黎汽车拉力赛，从北京发车，看似是把中国与世界赛车运动联系到了一起，实际上中国只是个发车地点，连举办地都算不上。再之后就是1985年的港京汽车拉力赛了，当年火了一把555牌香烟，也就没有下文了。又过了十几年，1999年北京承办了WRC世界汽车拉力锦标赛，这是中国历史上最早举办的，也是国际汽联下属最高的世界级一类汽车赛事。再到2004年，上海国际赛车场建成，引入F1中国大奖赛，世界级汽车运动才真正长时间落地，并在华夏大地蔓延开来。中国是全球汽车保有量第一的大国，但是大多数国人只用车，不玩车，基本不懂什么赛车文化。不过这几年汽车赛事运动在中国发展迅猛，大家如果打开国际汽联官网，找到世界锦标赛这一级目录的，会惊讶的看到，全世界最高等级的五大世锦赛级别赛事，除了Rallycross冠军赛没在我国举办过，另外四个：F1、WRC、WEC、Fomula E都在中国举办过。我国每年举办的各种级别、各种规模、各类国家级、地区级的场地、拉力、越野、摩托等汽车和摩托车赛事数量不下千场。现如今，有蔚来333车队，拿下过Fomula E年度总冠军。有领克车队，拿下过WTCR年度总冠军。其实在我看来，咱们缺的不是中国籍的F1车手，咱们缺的是中国造的F1赛车。这一点大家一定要牢记。如果大家今天看完这期节目，对F1突然有了兴趣，其实可以看两部纪录片，开拓一下自己的知识面。一部是《Drive to Survive》，中文叫极速求生。另一部是《Chasing the Dream》，逐梦之路。看完之后，如果还是不过瘾，可以上网搜一搜F1模拟器，花个小几万，就可以配一套非常不错的了，在家里练习练习跑线。如果真的觉得自己有天赋。今后你可以报名F1电竞中国冠军赛，如果一不小心模拟器上赢了周冠宇，那你可以吹一辈子牛x了。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：
