Tällä kertaa arvostelussa uusin Predator leffa Predator: Killer of Killers, joka tuli juuri Disney+Olen iso Predator fani. Eka osa, jota Arska tähditti oli mahtava elokuva. Toinen ei aivan niin hyvä olekaan. Kolmas taas varsin toimiva ja neljäs melko kaameaa. Sekä sitten pari AVP leffaa, jotka toimivat no jotenkuten. Kun Disney sai franchisen oikeudet ostettuaan Foxin niin oli selvää, että näitä alkaa tulemaan. Muutama vuotta sitten tullut Prey oli yksi parhaista Predator leffoista ja nyt sen ohjaaja Dan Trachtenberg ohjasi tämän uuden animaation, sekä loppuvuonna tulevan Predator: Badlands leffan. Mutta miten toimi ensimmäinen animaatio Predator? Entä haluaisinko nähdä näitä lisää? Tai miten tämä leffa muuten toimi? Näihin palataan arvostelussa. Odotatko tätä? Joko olet nähnyt? Entä mitä mieltä? Miten muuten Predator leffat toimii?

"SaaS as we know it is DEAD." This might sound controversial, but as Manav Garg explains, the old model of simple workflow automation is being rapidly superseded. AI agents are now capable of executing complex tasks based on simple commands, fundamentally changing how businesses operate and what they expect from technology. Manav Garg is the Co-founder and Managing Partner of Together Fund, an operator-led VC firm managing over $250M AUM and backing ambitious early-stage Indian SaaS and AI startups. Before this, he founded Eka Software Solutions in 2004, building it over nearly two decades into a global leader in commodity management software. He scaled Eka to $34 million in revenue with $9 million in profit by 2014, raised over $55 million, navigated a complex pivot to the cloud, and ultimately exited the company. He is also a co-founder of SaaSBOOMi, Asia's largest SaaS community, and is passionate about building India as a Product Nation. Key Insights from the Conversation:

In this episode, Andreas Munk Holm talks with Jon Coker, co-founder and GP at Eka Ventures, to unpack the strategy behind their conviction-led investment model and its outsized outcomes. Jon shares why Eka's focus on consumer health and sustainable consumption is redefining what it means to deliver impact from venture, not just within it.Jon challenges the traditional index-style logic of venture capital, arguing instead for deep diligence, founder-first frameworks, and high-bar decision-making shaped by firsthand experience with outlier success. This episode is a masterclass in aligning fund design, sourcing strategy, and conviction-building to deliver both impact and performance.Here's what's covered:03:25 Why Eka Doubled Down on Concentrated Portfolios05:44 Structural Drivers Behind the Portfolio Strategy07:18 Challenging the Index Logic of Venture14:05 How Eka's Style Shapes Decision-Making Processes16:34 Consumer Tech: Eka's Favorite Layer Cake21:05 Bias for Action: A Key Founder Trait28:35 Building Conviction: The Founder's Role at Eka29:12 Eka's Deep Founder Diligence Model44:57 Impact From Venture vs. Impact In Venture50:57 Scaling Impact: Why Depth and Scale Matter

Eka is back! We first talked to her about two and a half years ago on episode 255 when she was just about to have her first child. She's in her mid-thirties and has been exploring non-monogamy in a variety of ways since about 2012. Since we last spoke, Eka and her partner Em had baby Elle and it's been an adventurous few years! Today Eka shares how having a newborn (and now a toddler) has impacted her life, her relationships, and her sexuality. She's been exploring her sexuality, demisexuality, kink, and multiple connections and partnerships all while figuring out how to be a new mom! There's never a dull moment and we absolutely love when we get to talk to Eka and hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did! Check out the full show notes here.

Stāsta horeogrāfe, dejotāja, baleta pedagoģe, Latvijas Kultūras akadēmijas profesore Gunta Bāliņa Tas ir  viens no skaistākajiem vēstījumiem pasaules baletā – "Žizele", kas pirmizrādi piedzīvoja 1841. gadā Parīzē. Scenārija  veidotāji Žils Anrī Vernuā Senžoržs un Teofils Gotjē aizguva ideju no vācu dzejnieka Heinriha Heines publicētajām leģendām par nelaimīgas mīlestības dēļ mirušajām meitenēm – vīlām, kuras ievilina jaunus vīriešus nāvē ar savām dejām. Iedvesmai kalpoja  arī kāds Viktora Igo dzejolis par dejojot mirušo spāņu meiteni Žizeli. Komponists Ādolfs Adāns ātrā laikā – desmit dienās – radīja baleta mūziku. Horeogrāfi bija Žans Koralli un Žils Pero, kuram bija padomā iespaidīgo titullomu uzticēt savai audzēknei un protežē Karlotai Grizi, kura arī šajā lomā piedzīvoja īstu triumfu. Dažu gadu laikā balets nonāca uz vadošajām Eiropas baleta skatuvēm, un arī mūsdienās "Žizele" stabili turas baleta teātru repertuārā, taču, atbilstoši laikmetam, piedāvā jaunas, pārsteidzošas interpretācijas stāstā par meiteni, kura nenojauš, ka viņas iemīļotais nav vis no viņas pašas kārtas, bet gan princis, kuram jau ir sava augstdzimusi līgava.  Radikāli atšķirīgu interpretāciju 1982. gadā piedāvāja zviedru horeogrāfs Matss Eks. Saglabājot oriģinālo scenāriju un Adāna mūziku, viņš izcēla situācijas dramatiskumu: vienkāršo ciema meiteni Žizeli varmācīgi izmanto Alberts, kurš ieradies no pilsētas, lai kopā ar saviem draugiem izklaidētos. Kad sapņu vīrietis Žizeli nodod, viņa zaudē prātu. Uz skatuves tradicionālo romantisko Reinzemes ciematu aizstāja ainava krūšu formā, bet vīlu pārdabisko valstību – trako nama skarbā realitāte. Titullomas atveidotāja Ana Laguna valdzināja un aizkustināja ar savām basajām kājām un koķeto bereti. Horeogrāfa Eka izgudrotās pilnīgi jaunās un oriģinālās kustības bija ideāli piemērotas titulvaronei, kuras lielie, plašie žesti, ātrie lēcieni un griezieni atspoguļoja un simbolizēja viņas kaislīgo dzīves mīlestību. Izliektās pēdas, grīdai pietuvinātās līnijas pauda gan garīgās, gan fiziskās mīlētāju attiecības. Tas škita nepieņemami gan baleta faniem, gan sarūgtinātajiem kritiķiem, kuri apsūdzēja horeogrāfu klasiskās sāgas skaistuma iznīcināšanā. Tomēr mūsdienās Matsa Eka "Žizeles" iestudējums joprojām ir tikpat moderns kā tā tapšanas laikā. Baltijas baleta festivālā "No klasikas līdz avangardam" bija iespēja redzēt Matsa Eka "Žizeli" klātienē, un mūsdienu deju vakarā "Trīs solo un duets" savukārt dejoja divas pasaules dejas leģendas – Mihails Barišņikovs un Ana Laguna. Ne mazāk intriģējošs bija Moldāvijā dzimušā ukraiņu horeogrāfa Radu Poklitaru iestudējums 2016. gadā. Poklitaru baleta sižetu bija pārvērtis nopietnā, sociālpsiholoģiskā drāmā, kurā notiekošais attiecināts uz mūsdienu sabiedrību: Alberts un viņa līgava Batilda nāk no baikeru kompānijas, bet vīlas ir vieglas uzvedības meitenes. Tiesa, Žizele nonāk bordelī ne tāpēc, ka būtu samaitāta, bet mātes padzīta no mājām. Žizeles ilūzijas sabrūk nevis mīļotā nodevības brīdī, bet gan tad, kad viņš ar naudaszīmēm norēķinās par abu mīlestību. Horeogrāfijā iekļauti arī iespaidīgi erotiski dueti, parodētas klasiskā baleta vīlu dejas un atjautīgi risinātas baikeru ainas uz motocikliem. Tajā pat 2016. gadā Anglijas Nacionālā baleta trupa iestudē pasauslavenā horeogrāfa Akrama Hana "Žizeles" versiju. Šī izrāde ir par mūsdienu verdzībā nonākušiem strādniekiem un viņu  saimniekiem – greznībā peldošiem bagātniekiem, kuriem pieder arī Alberts. Žizele ir atstumta migrantu meitene, kura dzīvo starp tikpat nelaimīgiem, bet iekšēji stipriem cilvēkiem. Atšķirīga no ierastā tradicionālā iestudējuma ir arī Žizeles vājprāta aina: cilvēku pūlis viņu samīda līdz nāvei, un viņa nonāk svešā pasaulē, kur mājo atriebīgas, viduslaiku pasaku raganām līdzīgas sievietes, kuras dusmās klaudzina ar savām nūjām, gatavas nogalināt arī Albertu. Žizele piedod Albertam, taču tas nenes laimi: Alberts paliek vientulībā ar savu nodevību un zaudējuma sāpēm. Izņemot dažas sižeta līnijas, Akrams Hans tikpat kā neko neizmanto no oriģinālā, klasiskā baleta. Gleznainā ciemata un kapsētas vietā skatītāju sagaida telšu pilsētiņa, viesstrādnieki mīt spokaini pamestā rūpnīcā, un galvenokārt šeit ir jauna veida horeogrāfija, kuras pamatā ir gan indiešu déjà kathak, gan laikmetīgā deja un ikdienas žesti, atveidojot arī dzīvniekus un mašīnas. Mūzikas autors itāliešu komponists Vinčenco Lamanja (Vincenzo Lamagna) partitūrā iekļāvis arī dažādus biedējošus un vidi raksturojošus trokšņus. Ne mazāk saistoša ir Dienvidāfrikas dejotājas un horeogrāfes Dadas Masilo "Žizele". Savu novatorisko klasiskā baleta un Āfrikas dejas saplūšanu viņa izmantojusi, lai pievērstos dzimuma, seksualitātes un kultūras identitātes tēmām. Iestudējumā darbība norisinās Dienvidāfrikas ciematā, un tas ir šokējošs stāsts nevis par mīlestību, nodevību un piedošanu, bet gan par atriebību. Žizele ar noskūto galvu un kailajām krūtīm atrod sabiedroto un nogalina Albertu. Āfrikas tradicionālie sitaminstrumenti un dziedājumi iekrāso Adāna oriģinālo partitūru, ko aranžējis Dienvidāfrikas komponists Filips Millers. "Žizele" turpina un droši vien turpinās iedvesmot gan baleta, gan laikmetīgās dejas horeogrāfus, ar šī romantiskā stāsta starpniecību piedāvājot atšķirīgās pasaules kultūrās balstītas versijas un tulkojumus.    

A bunch of startups are not entering the booming Indian e-bus ecosystem and becoming overnight successes. Just take the case of EKA mobility. Before 2023, EKA was barely a company. It was more the R&D wing of Pinnacle Industries, which is a major manufacturer of seating and interiors for legacy automakers like Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland. But when the government launched the PM E-Drive subsidy back in September, everything changed for Eka Mobility. The five-year-old startup turned into a full-fledged EV manufacturer. Eka Mobility is one among many beneficiaries of the EV wave here in India. But naturally, it does not come without its challenges. Which is why, despite India's e-bus ambitions slowly gaining momentum thanks to government funding, the private sector has barely put its foot on the pedal. Tune in. Daybreak is now on WhatsApp at +918971108379.

Dalam memperingati Hari Ulang Tahun (HUT) BRI yang ke-129, BRI Regional Office Padang menggelar donor darah, pada Selasa 17 Desember 2024. Kegiatan bakti sosial ini ditargetkan dapat mengumpulkan 129 kantong darah yang berasal dari karyawan bank plat merah tersebut. Jelang siang, peserta yang mendaftar sudah lebih dari 129 orang. Salah satu peserta donor darah adalah Asisten II Setdaprov Sumbar, Arry Yuswandi. Usai memberikan sambutan mewakili Gubernur Sumbar pada kegiatan tersebut, Arry yang didampingi Regional CEO BRI Padang, Riza Pahlevi langsung memeriksakan diri. Setelahnya mantan Kepala Dinas Sosial Sumbar ini berbaring di tempat tidur yang disediakan. “Memeriahkan HUT BRI ke-129 tahun ini, kita tak hanya menggelar kegiatan seremoni tetapi juga bakti sosial. Seperti hari ini, karyawan BRI berbagi setetes darah dalam kegiatan donor darah,” kata Regional CEO BRI Padang, Riza Pahlevi di gedung BRI RO Padang. Selanjutnya, BRI RO Padang mengadakan khitanan massal dengan peserta anak-anak dari masyarakat tak mampu yang tinggal di sekitar kantor BRI, baik di kantor cabang hingga BRI unit. Pesertanya juga ditargetkan sebanyak 129 orang sesuai dengan usia BRI saat ini. “Puncak HUT BRI diadakan pada Sabtu 21 Desember 2024, di antara agendanya adalah pagelaran pentas seni,” terang Riza Pahlevi. Asisten II Setdaprov Sumbar, Arry Yuswandi dalam sambutannya memberikan apresiasi kepada BRI sebagai lembaga perbankan tertua di tanah air yang didirikan pada tahun 1895. Berbagai inovasi yang dilakukan BRI makin memudahkan masyarakat mengakses berbagai layanan BRI, seperti hadirnya Teras BRI dan BRILink. “Kehadiran BRI memberikan dampak besar bagi kemajuan perekonomian daerah, termasuk di Sumbar. BRI menjangkau masyarakat hingga ke pelosok nagari,” katanya. Selanjutnya kegiatan donor darah dalam rangka HUT BRI ke 129 ini, lanjut Arry, merupakan salah satu wujud nyata kecintaan BRI kepada sesama. Pihaknya berharap ke depan, BRI memberikan kontribusi yang lebih besar lagi untuk Ranah Minang. Di antara peserta donor darah, terdapat peserta perempuan, di antaranya Eka dan Selvia. Usai pemeriksaan kesehatan, dengan penuh semangat Eka menyodorkan tangannya kepada petugas medis dari PMI Cabang Padang. “Dulu sewaktu kuliah, saya rutin ikut donor darah. Kalau sekarang, saya ikut donor setiap momen bakti sosial yang digelar BRI RO Padang,” ujar Eka. Tak jauh berbeda yang diungkapkan Selvia. Awalnya dia tertarik ikut donor darah karena mengikuti suaminya yang rutin mendonorkan darahnya. Setiap kali donor, dia merasakan badannya lebih segar dan menjadi penuh semangat. “Beda sekali rasanya antara sebelum donor dengan setelah donor darah. Saetelah donor darah, saya merasa lebih bugar,” katanya sambil tesenyum.

Eka, der spätere zweite Patriarch des Zen, wollte von Bodhidharma unterrichtet werden. Doch der weigerte sich und sagte: »Die subtilen und höchsten Lehren des Buddha können nur durch unendliche Beharrlichkeit verfolgt werden. Wie kann ein selbstgefälliger Mann wie du davon träumen, dies zu erreichen?« Damit stürzte er Eka in einen unglaublichen Zweifel und er zog sich zurück. Doch eines Nachts stand er wieder hinter Bodhidharma im Schnee und bewies seine große Entschlossenheit, indem es sich den Arm abschnitt und rief: »Mein Geist hat noch keinen Frieden. Ich bitte dich, Meister, beruhige meinen Geist!« »Bring mir deinen Geist und ich werde ihn für dich beruhigen«, antwortete Bodhidharma. Daraufhin begab sich Eka vertrauensvoll auf die Suche, bis er schließlich zurückkehrte und sagte: »Ich habe nach meinem Geist gesucht, aber ich konnte ihn nicht finden.« »Siehst du, dein Geist ist beruhigt«, antwortete Bodhidharma. Der große Zweifel, das große Vertrauen und die große Entschlossenheit sind die drei Antriebe der Erleuchtung und werden in dem Geschehen rund um Koan 41 des Mumonkan thematisiert.

Manav Garg is the founder of Eka and Together Fund.Manav started Eka before SaaS was even a word. We start with Manav's journey from a small town in Punjab to founding Eka, one of India's first vertical SaaS companies. He shares all the ups and down in Eka & his life in the last 20 years. From building and selling from India to global businesses. From pivoting, which few companies survive, to coming out not just alive but highly profitable again. We also discuss his work with SaaS Bhoomi, future of Indian B2B SaaS, Together fund and Manav's next mission.-------------------------------------Timestamps00:00 - Introduction00:39 - From Small Town Punjab to International Trading12:08 - Quitting Job & Now What17:00 - Fundraising Struggles & Launching Eka23:07 - Scaling Eka from $3-4 million to $10-20 million26:57 - The Journey of Scaling a SaaS Business From India30:00 - The Time To Pivot & How to Come Out Alive35:23 - Build SaaS From India: But Where Are The Lessons?36:26 - Reaching Revenue Peaks Again After The Pivot37:23 - Next Mission After Eka41:14 - How To Plan An Exit Like a Pro48:30 - Together Fund and Its Mission54:17 - AI Wave & SaaS: What's Changed?1:00:08 - The Growth of Indian B2B SaaS1:03:33 - AI-First Tools From India1:08:08 - AI and New(&Old) Industries1:12:00 - Business Runs On Trust1:17:20 - Don't Be Indisciplined About Discipline1:21:14 - Lessons From 20-year journey with Eka___________________________________Hi, I am your host Siddhartha! I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes. We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings. ___________________________________Visit our Website: https://neon.fund/Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theneonshoww/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheNeonShowwFollow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beneon/___________________________________*Sponsor Shout Out*Looking to build a differentiated tech startup with a 10X better solution?

“As I said, I am from a middle-class family. I was earning $10,000/month, which is a large sum in those days. And sitting in Singapore, Bangkok, travelling around the world. So my the larger question in my mind is that how do I take the decision?” says Manav Garg.Manav Garg, founder and former CEO of Eka Software, a SaaS company that operates in the global commodities trading space. "Former CEO" because Manav started Eka in 2004 and just sold it earlier this year. Since Manav was earning $10K a month back in the early 2000s, we talked about golden handcuffs. You know, when people earn so much that they become risk averse? A lot of people are attracted to the lure of startups but not necessarily the grind that comes with them. Including much, much lower pay. “So, my competition was TriplePoint, Openlink, SAP. Large companies, at that time. $100 million plus companies. So, I started calling them. Cold calling. And few of them didn't pick up my phone.One person luckily picked up my phone saying, ‘Please don't call me again and again. It's not nice. I'm never going to work for Indian company.' I said, ‘Fine. Since I have you on phone, can I meet you?'He said, ‘No.'He said, ‘No. What will you do by meeting me?' I said, ‘Let's have coffee. What I will do is, tell me your travel schedule.' He said, ‘I am flying to London tomorrow, so I am going to be very busy.' I said, ‘Okay, let me do one thing. I will travel to London next day and I will meet you at Heathrow. Just have a coffee. You anyway will take a shower.' Most of the people from New York travel to London that red-eye flight, take a shower in the arrival launch. I knew that. I said, ‘I will meet in the arrival launch. Half an hour coffee and then you are free to go.'He said, ‘Fine.'Luckily, he said, ‘Fine.'” It takes a LOT of courage to fly to London to meet someone who said he doesn't want to work for an Indian company. And a LOT of vision to convince that person to join you. That's what happened at the end of that 30-minute meeting that stretched to 2 hours.  Today, after 20 years as founder, Manav has jumped right back into the ring as the co-founder of venture capital firm TogetherFund, along with Girish Mathrubootham of Freshworks and others. When I asked him about something most potential founders overlooked, his answer was easy: Co-founder selection. “See, in India also, still we have in that cultural mix, where you start up with your college friends because you spend time in dorms together, in college, you went through life's ups and downs together, right? So, therefore, you're very attuned to start up with your friends from college, most likely, that's the most likely case, or from your workplace. You work with somebody in Amazon, Flipkart, Freshworks, Eka, Zoho, so therefore you end up starting up.I personally think that there is also a way to manufacture your co-founders.” Manav advises founders to set aside at least 6 months to “manufacture” their co-founders by just meeting a LOT of people. My conversation with Manav uncovers a lot of insight on how young founders should think about building for the long haul. He did it for 20 years. There's a lot of very counterintuitive builder wisdom to unpack in today's conversation.Welcome to First Principles–The weekly leadership podcast from The Ken.Let's get started.-------------------------Daybreak is now a daily podcast.Listen to the first special episode we released on 17th May: “Why aren't we scared of chemicals in our skincare anymore?”-------------------------If you love listening to First Principles, we're sure you will enjoy reading our Sunday newsletter, aptly titled First Principles as well.

Tässä jaksossa kerron, mitä teen kollegoideni kanssa. Ja poikkeuksellisesti tuossa alla on koko podcast-jakson melkein täydellinen käsikirjoitus! Tästä voi olla sinulle hyötyä: https://randomfinnishlesson.blogspot.com/2015/03/spoken-language-tips.html P.S. Tervetuloa hiljaiselle aamukurssille toukokuussa. Vielä ehdit hyvin mukaan. https://randomfinnishlesson.blogspot.com/2023/03/yosyottokurssi2023.html Hei kaikille Random Finnish Lesson -podcastin kuulijoille. Tänään on huhtikuun viimenen päivä eli toukokuun kolmaskymmenes päivä eli vappuaatto. Mä puhun tänään yksin ja mä ajattelin kokeilla sellaista mulle uutta juttua, että mä kirjoitan tämän podcastin etukäteen mulle mahollisimman luonnollisella puhekielellä ja sitten luen sen ääneen. Yleensä mulla on podcastissa joku vieras, jonka kanssa me vähän suunnitellaan, että mistä puhuttaisiin, ja mä lähetän kysymykset etukäteen, mutta ois ihan hullun iso homma litteroida kahenkymmenen minuutin keskustelu jälkikäteen, joten sen takia näissä jaksoissa ei oo tekstitystä. Ja nytkään mä en tiedä, mihin mä tämän tekstin laitan, mutta katotaan. Tän päivän aihe on se, millasta yhteistyötä mä teen mun kollegoiden kanssa. Mun päätyö on suomen kielen yksityisopetus, ja sen lisäks mä kirjoitan selkokirjoja ja koulutan selkokielestä. Mä teen yleensä töitä yksin ja tosi itsenäisesti, mutta parin viime vuoden aikana mulla on ollut aika paljon yhteistyötä kollegoiden kanssa eli sellaisia juttuja, jotka me on yhdessä ideoitu ja toteutettu. Se on tosi kivaa vaihtelua, ja on paljon mukavampi kokeilla jotakin uutta yhessä kuin yksin. Lisäksi siinä on se hyvä puoli, että jos vaikka jompi kumpi opettajista tulis sairaaksi, niin sitte toinen voisi vetää kurssin tai tapahtuman myös yksin. Ja opiskelijoille on tietysti tuplasti hyötyä, ku on kaksi opettajaa. Ja suunnittelu on mukavaa yhdessä, ja myös sen tapahtuman tai kurssin aikana on tosi kiva, että voi vetää sitä yhessä jonkun toisen kanssa, joka on yhtä kiinnostunut ja innoissaan. Ensin mä kerron siitä, mitä mä oon tehnyt toisten selkokirjoittajien kanssa, ja sitten mitä mä oon tehnyt toisten yksityisopettajien kanssa. Mä oon järjestänyt toisten selkokirjoittajien ja kirjastojen henkilökunnan kanssa kirjastotapahtumia, joissa esitellään selkokirjoja ja keskustellaan kuulijoiden kanssa. Eka kerta taisi olla syksyllä 2021, kun mä olin Marja-Leena Tiaisen kanssa puhumassa Kuopion kaupunginkirjastossa. Täällä Jyväskylässä on ollut kaksi tapahtumaa Riikka Tuohimetsän ja Sanna-Leena Knuuttilan kanssa ja nyt viimeisimpänä Oulussa oli Sanna-Leena Knuuttilan kanssa. Käytännössä se on mennyt niin, että me on ite ehdotettu tapahtumaa kirjastoille, suunniteltu esitys ja valittu ne kirjat, joita illan aikana esitellään ja jotka on varattu sinne kirjastoon, ja sitten on myös osallistuttu sen tapahtuman markkinointiin. Nyt viiimeksi Oulussa oli 23 kuulijaa, mikä oli tosi hienoa, ja oli mukava tavata kasvokkain myös selkokirjoittajia, jotka asuu Oulussa. Toisten suomen kielen yksityisopettajien kanssa mä järjestän sekä työpajoja verkossa että kielikursseja kasvokkain. Lisäksi mulla on oma tuote, jota mä markkinoin nykyisille ja tuleville kollegoille, ja se on yksityisopettaijen koulutuspäivä jossain kivassa hotellissa. Eka koulutuspäivä, jonka mä järjestin, oli huhtikuussa 2022 Jyväskylässä ja viime syyskuussa me oltiin Tampereella. Ja seuraava koulutuspäivä on viikon kuluttua Turussa. Sen koulutuspäivän sisältö on tosi yksinkertainen: jokainen seitsemästä tai kaheksasta osallistujasta pitää noin puolen tunnin esityksen tai vapaamman puheenvuoron jostain työhön liittyvästä asiasta, ja sitten me jutellaan ja syödään hyvin ja tutustutaan siihen kaupunkiin, missä me ollaan. JATKUU, mutta ei mahdu tähän. Lue koko käsikirjoitus: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xFogIgkX7NVMyXJeeLfboGhfuAGAAsLhlAu9JLWK-Zo/edit?usp=sharing
