pWotD Episode 2999: Felix Baumgartner Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 278,000 views on Friday, 18 July 2025 our article of the day is Felix Baumgartner.Felix Baumgartner (German: [ˈfeːlɪks ˈbaʊ̯mˌɡaʁtnɐ]; 20 April 1969 – 17 July 2025) was an Austrian skydiver, extreme sportsman, and BASE jumper. He is widely known for jumping to Earth from a helium balloon in the stratosphere on 14 October 2012 and landing in New Mexico, United States, as part of the Red Bull Stratos project. By doing so, he set world records for skydiving an estimated 39 km (24 mi), reaching an estimated top speed of 1,357.64 km/h (843.6 mph), or Mach 1.25. He became the first person to break the sound barrier relative to the surface without vehicular power on his descent. He broke skydiving records for exit altitude (38,969.3 metres), vertical freefall distance without a drogue parachute, and vertical speed without a drogue. Although his name is still attached to the two last records, his exit altitude record was broken two years later, when on 24 October 2014, Alan Eustace jumped from 135,890 feet (41.42 km; 25.74 mi) with a drogue.Baumgartner was also renowned for the particularly dangerous nature of the stunts he performed during his career. He spent time in the Austrian military, where he practised parachute jumping, including training to land on small target zones. On 17 July 2025, he died in a paragliding accident in Porto Sant'Elpidio, Italy, aged 56.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 19:56 UTC on Monday, 21 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Felix Baumgartner on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.

Dr. Michael Gervais is one of the world's leading high-performance psychologists with an obsession about the relationship between the mind and human performance. His clients include the US Olympic beach volleyball team, Olympic athletes, NBA players, Formula 1 racing, Felix Baumgartner (jumping from space as part of Red Bull Stratos) and for 9 years he partnered with Coach Pete Carroll at the Seattle Seahawks, helping them to an NFL Superbowl Championship in 2014. Michael's Business, Finding Mastery, consults to Fortune 500 CEOs and leading organisations. As host of the Finding Mastery Podcast, Michael takes you inside the minds of the world's most extraordinary thinkers and doers. And on a personal note, Michael has been extremely generous with his time, mentoring Jon Clarke (JC) and I behind the scenes with some of the frameworks we are introducing with the Manly Sea Eagles. JC joined me behind the mic for this rich, robust and raw discussion about all things performance psychology and stepping up when it matters. In this episode Andrew, JC and Dr Michael discuss:2:30 How Michael feels about his bio being read out, growing up being obsessed with wanting to be better and feeling very grateful for where he is now.6:00 How Michael was hit with imposter syndrome before going on stage at a global conference, how he managed to calm himself down through a form of mindfulness, and how that has led to his 27 year long mindfulness and presence practise.12:50 "Did I do my best to prepare for this moment?" When something really matters, you do what it takes to make it happen and how Michael leveraged some parts of his sometimes challenging upbringing.18:20 Michael's purpose is unlocking the potential that lies dormant within people, how to unlock your personal purpose and its cousins (vision and values) and the importance of having clarity. 24:05 Hacks are for hacks, confidence in your skills takes time to grow, and working with the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Pete Carrol, for 9 years.31:55 Why Michael loves working in sport, avoiding having corridor conversations, and the 3 rules that kept the culture going at Seattle Seahawks.39:15 Releasing the magic of players and how good coaching is as simple as letting someone know what they did right and speaking the language of high performance "that, yes that!"44:35 The 3 types of skills to get better at, the learnings from losing a Super Bowl, better preparing players and teams to deal with loss, and the "longbody" concept rooted in that Native American tradition of tribal members being connected.53:50 Vulnerability and courage are cousins, what JC is afraid of, and Michael's story about saving his marriage with intensive therapy and working on himself.1:07:15 Why Andrew loves working in the mental skills field and why JC loves working in sport. You can find Dr Michael at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmichaelgervais/Listen to the Finding Mastery Podcast: https://findingmastery.com/Listen to the podcast with John Schneider: https://findingmastery.com/podcasts/john-schneider/Watch the Interview with Willie McGinest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtS2w6XRKrYYou can find JC at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-clarke-1152a065/?originalSubdomain=au Use Code "PIPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/Learn more about Andrew and Performance Intelligence: https://performanceintelligence.com/Find out more about Andrew's Keynotes : https://performanceintelligence.com/keynotes/Follow Andrew May: https://www.instagram.com/andrewmay/If you enjoy the podcast, we would really appreciate you leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Google Play.

Schnür die Senkel, lass die inneren Schmetterlinge fliegen, spuck in die Hände und mach dich ready für die Tombola unter den Gottesdiensten, voller Glückslose für dein Leben. Lass den großartigen Schöpfer den Staub deines alten Lebens wegpusten. Spüre den Atem der neuen Schöpfung durch Seele und Birne ziehen. Atme Freiheit ein und Kraft aus. Lass sie in dir einziehen, sich um dich ausbreiten und sei du. „SEIN – Entfalte Kraft“. Die Serie die dich fest an der Hand nimmt und mit dir staunend, mit offenen Augen und ausgebreiteten Armen vor dem Menschen steht, der du in Gottes Augen bist. Lass ihn uns freilegen, uns selbst sein, Kraft entfalten, krass werden, andere anstecken und groß machen.

Notiert, aufgeschrieben und erzählt vom Evangelisten Lukas und betitelt mit dem Namen Apostelgeschichte. Eine Story die dich einlädt der Botschaft der Liebe Gottes zu folgen und dabei zu sein, wenn sie bei den ersten Christen tief ins Leben eingreift und eine Community baut die wir heute Kirche nennen.

Every leader aims to maximize their potential and that of their teams, but mastering the complexities of human psychology is a formidable challenge. Dr. Michael Gervais is considered by many to be the world's #1 performance psychologist focused on unlocking potential during high-pressure environments. From working with three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh and daredevil spaceman Felix Baumgartner who jumped from 120,000 feet, his techniques have proven effective across a spectrum of disciplines. In today's episode we talk about why fearing others' opinions can keep you from reaching your full potential, the dangers of tying your self-worth to performance metrics, and I'll also share the things that make leaders feel most vulnerable at work and why.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

ChillRadio.UpliftingPills.com Instagram.com/UpliftingPills I recently re-watched the record-setting supersonic, freefall jump that Felix Baumgartner performed in October of 2012 from 39 km high up in space. The words he uttered before taking the leap of faith resonated with me: "I know the whole world is watching, and I wish the whole world could see what I see. Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you really are." I started thinking about the type of everyday moments that we just might look at differently if we could see them from "space". Then I came across this inspirational post by Sahil Bloom that succinctly put my thoughts in words: "Important Rule for Life: When in doubt, zoom out. Being perpetually zoomed-in creates two challenges: struggle feels bigger than it really is, and growth feels smaller than it really is. I hope this mix inspires us to appreciate the bigger context of our everyday moments and to "time travel" to the past or future to observe the present through that new lens.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 The pursuit of mastery is part of a process. It's an orientation towards experience. It's about being fully absorbed in the moment. Our fear of other people's opinions (FOPO) has become irrational and unproductive, and its negative effects reach far beyond performance. If you start paying less and less attention to what makes you you—your talents, beliefs, and values—and start conforming to what others may or may not think, you'll harm your potential. Acknowledgments: “To Lisa, the love of my life. “It's because of you that I no longer pray for calm waters, but to rather test the strength of our sails.” Basing self-worth on performance –  when the core motivation of pursuing excellence is proving our self-worth, mistakes, failures, opinions, and criticism are experienced as threats rather than learning opportunities. A Learner's Mindset  - A student came to a renowned monk and asked to learn about Zen Buddhism. Shortly after the monk launched into his discourse, the student interrupted him and said, “Oh, I already know that” in an attempt to impress the monk. The monk suggested they discuss the matter over tea. When the tea was ready, the monk poured the tea into a teacup, filled it to the brim—and then continued to pour—spilling tea over the sides of the cup and onto the table. The student watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself, “Stop! You can't pour tea into a full cup.” The monk set the teapot down and replied, “Exactly. Return to me when your cup is empty.” “Anchoring our sense of self in discovery is not a cop-out to avoid committing to who we are; rather, it's simply an acknowledgment that we change with time.” Harvard psychology professor Dan Gilbert points out, “Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they're finished.” Purpose over Approval – From a young age, we are conditioned to seek approval. Over time, we develop a built-in mechanism to check outside ourselves to see if everything is okay. But… we have another choice. That is our purpose… “Purpose is the belief that you are alive to do something. It is an internally derived, generalized intention that's both meaningful to you and consequential to the world beyond you.” Optimism isn't soft. in fact, it sits at the center of mental toughness. Have you conditioned your mind for optimism? Dr. Mike has worked with Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, and his leadership team to develop psychological principles and practices for high-performing teams and cultures. As a sport psychology consultant, he was a member of the Seattle Seahawks team for 9 seasons, including two back-to-back Super Bowl appearances (winning in 2014). His primary objective was to assist Head Coach, Pete Carroll, to build a mindset-based culture. For Red Bull Stratos, Dr. Mike helped Felix Baumgartner manage his mind and body under pressure for his record-setting skydive from 128,000 feet. We need to make a fundamental commitment to practice at the edge of our capacity. One of the prompts I use in my life is, “What did I do today to push my edges?” What did I do that was uncomfortable… And making the commitment to stack day after day of pushing my edges makes that comfort zone bigger and bigger. Ask yourself, “What did I do today to push my edges?” FOPO shows up almost everywhere in our lives—and the consequences are great. When we let FOPO take control, we play it safe and small because we're afraid of what will happen on the other side of critique. When challenged, we surrender our viewpoint. We trade in authenticity for approval. We please rather than provoke. We chase the dreams of others rather than our own.

You did. You got it. Awesome. We're going to be talking about something today that I visited before and it always seems to trigger people for some odd reason when you can the whole thing and in the dog mall around this subject, we're going to talk about a little bit. We might get into religion when I get into conspiracies. And obviously we talked about a conspiracy, but this conspiracy want you talk to people. 00:01:13They lose their ship, but you can come out and say, hey, 9/11 was an inside job with people. Yeah. That is an inside job. The Earth is flat. And God isn't real. It's almost the same. I think so. Where did can you share your your social media or anything that you want to share for the people where they can find your work? And I can post that in the description as well before we dive into it cuz I really want to talk to you about. This is my YouTube is the initials for deep inside the rabbit hole. It's just ditrh the initials for deep inside the rabbit hole and my podcast is the Flat Earth podcast. And I also have an app which will help you understand what the Flat Earth is. Because the people that are upset at what they think it is, don't really, they have a misconception of what it is and they really don't even know what the globe model is. So we're driving to that as we go along and see what 00:02:13And soda kick off the show. This is a question. I asked everybody. 00:02:19First-time guest who is David Weiss? 00:02:23Who is David Weiss? I am, I am a guy at a successful? Businessman. I was in Corporate America. I started my own company about 7 years ago, ran that for Yale five, or six years and the flat-earth kind of got a hold of me. And I and I realized that I got to leave. I walked away from a great company, still a great company. I'm just no longer there and I'm doing this full-time, trying to spread the light of the true Earth to people because as we go along, for those of you that are new to this, you going to throw up your hands and what is the matter after week debunk point? After point after point that you think proves the globe? Is it? What difference does it make? And I'm going to tell you what difference it makes. 00:03:09So, can you give us before we get into all the nitty-gritty stuff. Can you give us obviously Flat Earth. It's in the name, but can you give us the gist and and just a simple breakdown before you get any more deeper into it? What Flat Earth is? What is the Flat Earth model? So 00:03:29Sure, let me get. Let me share my screen here. I'm going to show you a little model of how it works, what it is and it'll take about two minutes. I'll go through it. You can stop me at any time. I'm, can you see that? I cannot get the I bet it up. You got to just activate it. 00:03:49You double check is yes. In the Flat, Earth by Googling it. You ended up with the Flat Earth Society and that showed you a disc floating in space, and a whole bunch of other bullshit. And none of that is what any of us believe. So, that's a gatekeeping government-controlled site to control your mind and make you laugh and flatter. The Flat Earth is like a big lake in Kansas. Imagine a lake ten miles across a circular Lake and inside that Lake. You have all of these islands and all these islands are the continents in the center of the lake. You have a North Pole. Just imagine a big tall magnetic mountain in the center of that Lake and 00:04:39You can Circle the lake. If I turn on this Compass, hear you, can you can Circle the lake East and West. Those are circles like, I'm here in America. And if I want to go west 270°, I'm following my compass. I think I'm going straight, but I'm turning. I'm going to hundred and seventy degrees, West, West, West, West, West West West. I'm back to where I went at circumnavigated. That does not prove that the Earth is flat cuz that works the same on a globe, I can go. You see see see see all the way around back to where I was. I can't even go from you know, the United States in a straight line. I'm going north, north north north north, bypass the center. I'm now going south, even though I'm going in the straight line. I'm over in Japan, Indonesia, and I just crossed over the North Pole. That's not circumnavigation either. That's not proving either. You can do that my ball and I'll Flat Earth. What you can't do on a flat Earth is go sell from let's say I go from Santiago Chile. I go south and Papa. 00:05:39Brand New Zealand, or I go from Johannesburg, and I go south which is anyway, away from the center and pop up over New Zealand. You can't do that on the Flat Earth. And the funny thing is nobody's ever done it. 00:05:52Nobody's ever gone, South circumnavigation, Antarctica, is the highest land on Earth. So it's holding its Shoreline of this world Lake. Here. It is the shoreline of Antarctica that hold in the world, the Waters of the world, and they put some people call it, the ice walls, not the ice wall. Like like the ice wall on Game of Thrones. It's the shoreline and it's higher than all of the other land on Earth. You get there. There's a 200 High foot ice wall and then you get up and there's this ice plane that goes on for hundreds of miles. And then there is a mountain range that's taller than Everest. Okay? That surrounds the whole thing. So what's beyond their? We don't know it's off limits and we can talk about that if you want a little bit. But so you have this, this Salt Lake water lays flat. What is the other at the 70% water? What large bodies of water arrest? Lay flat? 00:06:48So the sun let's meet up circles around once every 24 hours. There's your 24 hour time zone and it lapse the moon. You can see it's getting a little ahead of the Moon there at last the moon, once every 28 days. Okay, and that sets up all of that sets up all of the phases of the moon. But slow it down. And I turn on the Stars, the stars are going at almost the same speed as the Sun, but those fixed stars, all the constellations. They're going slightly faster. So they laughed the sun once a year that way, the sun will move into the the sign. That's right behind it or move into each constellation about once a month cuz it's going slightly faster. So that's why the sun is in a sign for about a month out of the 12 signs throughout the year. So the Stars keep track of the seasons, the moon keeps track of the months that the Sun. 00:07:48Keep track of the hours that the sky is a perfect clock. And if we lived in this crazy nonsensical, beehive heliocentric mess, none of that will work. I will get into that in a minute. So on this app, I can turn on. I could turn on the world time, and this will show you this ring. I'll show you right now. It's 9 a.m. In Eastern Australia and it's 5 a.m. In South Africa, and I'm right here in United States, its 6 p.m. For me and I'll be right beside right? It is my app is called The Flat Earth Sun Moon, zodiac clock app. And the reason I'm pushing this app is because this app will teach you about the Flat Earth cuz Google will not teach you about a date 5 years ago used to build a search and see all the great Flat Earth information out there. But now it's all hidden and you'll get just propaganda. You get Flat Earth Society, you get, none Center get hit pieces. You get National Geographic. 00:08:48Light pieces were there it was where they're clearly lying, but I'm in the app. I have the frequently Asked question page. And you know, you can say you know, hey, where is The Edge or are, you know, what about ships over the rise? And that proves that the Earth is flat or you know, you are all the pilots in on it or if you know why the lie that's going to be? That's the big one. Did you click any one of these? Not up,, not only one video but a whole playlist of videos that answer those questions. So all of your questions are answered their it also has no other other platter show. Other shows that will give you good information on the top right corner. We got Crow Triple 7 radio better than any college University. If you want to learn the ways of the world you have globebusters 24/7 and the last area that stuff about mud floods biblical Flat Earth for people that want to know like how does this relate to the Bible? It's truly amazing. Different playlist for different languages. 00:09:48I'm for your non-english-speaking friends and the store real quick. Let me just show you how The Season's work. And then I'll, I'll stop screen sharing the right now. We're heading to the Isle of the winter. Solstice. The sun will be at its farthest point. Not its lowest point, but its farthest point from us. In the inner North it's going over this outer yellow line on December 21st, and that's the Tropic of Capricorn. We've all heard that but it's not a circle at the bottom of the ball. It's a circle on the Outer Edge, you know, of the tropical Zone. And then six months later. If I jump the sun 6 months in addition to the Future. It'll be over the Tropic of Capricorn, on June 21st, right now, it's June 15th to go to the desk, and it's right over the Tropic of Cancer. I'm sorry. The Tropic of Cancer and it's the inner Northern summer cuz the sun is closer and because it's closer, it looks higher in the sky. We have longer days, just jump back out. 00:10:48To today's date. We're having our winter now because the Sun is far from us. And the outer Southern lands are having their summer. Is very simple. It has nothing to do with despite little tilt of the earth. If you want to talk about that more, the tilt of the earth doesn't, cause he's in. So, here's the last thing on this, on the bottom left. It says, every day. There's a new future video. Yo, you click the video. I just short ones during the week longer ones in the weekend. I say, take the Flat Earth, app challenge, watch a video a day for two weeks and you will know you don't live on a spinning ball flying through an infinite universe and your whole life will change. What happens. What is, I'll get emails from people saying, hey, I watched you on the the, the one on one podcast and I bought your stupid app, and I took the challenge, but I didn't want to wait till I hit that little red button next to the Future video, to go into the archives. And up comes all of all of the videos that were as it loads all of the 00:11:48Videos over the last month and you hit that little hamburger at the top, all of the other months. I haven't slept in two days. My partner thinks I'm insane. I hate you. You know, what do I do now? And I say, welcome to flat and this is the beginning of more. I'm blasting is. If you click the weather up top here, bring to the dark sky. Everybody needs a weather app, all sorts of stuff. You can do with customizable, backgrounds, you going to settings, I can pick a different background. You could also go down and you can share it with a friend. You can check out the T-shirt shop. I got great stuff, including this covid-19 t-shirt, and then I have to pick one of those of us for you do and there's all sorts of ways to customize. I can hide the countdown timer and you just customized, you can customize the way it looks and what it does. It's $2.99. 00:12:47And you get everything. And that's, that's it. And I recommend for those of you that have it, share it with a friend, cuz there's nothing better than turning into a loved one, or a good friend into a flat earther. Would you agree with that? So, that's a lot that I want to ask you about that. Let's, let's talk about this as far as cuz my whole take on this is, obviously it's history. It's his story. So the To the victor, the spoils, and it seems that everybody throughout all of history that has had something else to say, as far as the main narrative is either been killed or pretty much, that's it. Right. So some people over to take others excetera excetera, but the point is, they always try to silence the people who say otherwise from the from the, the main 00:13:47You think so? 00:13:50My issue with the globe. Then again. I have a big ass telescope behind me and I have a picture of a nebula. Cuz I've I've personally I've seen the celestial bodies for 10, right? I've done after he talked to me and and it's just hard for me. And I mean, I said I didn't get episode with with Mark and to begin with. So, 00:14:15What it what are the celestial bodies as far as from the Flat Earth model perspective? Good question. And the answer is because we can't get up there. We don't know how big their, how far they are or what they're made of. We don't know anything. The only thing that you could honestly truthfully say, is that there lights. I don't mean like a lightbulb. I mean their lights because there's light coming off a time. That's all we can say. No, if you think about it, you know, they tell us Mars is Dusty dirty, you know, planet is reflecting sunlight in the Mars's, way farther from the Sun than the Earth are. So the sun is way smaller. So it gets a lot less like the weekend, but somehow that light is able to reflect off the dusty 30 surface and come back and shine down on Earth where Mars looks brighter than any star in the sky. Think about that. It makes zero sense. I'm with you on that because the problem with these conglomerates of of companies in these entities write these governmental entities. And all these corporations is that we're only here. 00:15:15What? From One Source, I can't go up into space and confirm for you that the world is Round, right? I'm only being fed, and I just find it hard to believe that in two weeks. You can undo this whole indoctrination of a full. Let. You know what I mean? So in for the night, the two weeks out here where I where I drove into is that we was talking about the challenge and challenge. Another 2 weeks will tell you, there's something wrong with the ball. I took two weeks and I tried to prove the globe. That's how I became a flat earther. If you take it seriously and try to prove the globe, you're done your toes. You're flat out. What do you want to be your not? I'm a lot of people will just, you know, they can't handle the emotional strain of that. But let's just look at the people that tell us the Earth is a globe. These people right here, these guys, I went to this Dusty dirty ball, the moon. Okay. Well, when we have a full moon, it's this bright. Okay, this bright bright moon, is 00:16:15Did we buy it in the middle of, you know, what away from the city lights at bright? When you light up a, a, a ball with a single-source light, the sun ball, a moon. It has a hotspot, and then it should fade out. But that's not what we see. This moon is lit, edge-to-edge. Almost like there's a light inside of it and it's like a light bulb, but I'm not saying that's what it is. I'm saying, the Moon is not reflecting sunlight. It is its own light. Okay, it is, it is producing a cold light to the whole nother topic. But if you learn about the inverse Square law of light, if you go half the distance to the moon, it's four times as bright. If you go half that distance to the moon, it's 16 times as bright. If you go half that distance, it's 64 * 2 quadruple. Every time you have the distance. Okay, let's call the inverse Square law. Light in the same thing is when you go away, it cuts down by by four times. 00:17:15So, if you look at the moon at the brightness, it is, if it was one Lumen, which is this is this moon is way brighter than one Lumen and you went all the way up to a hundred miles to the Moon. It would be like 10 million lumens, which makes your eyeballs and cook, you okay. Know your argument is, they wouldn't have been able to take that picture on there because they would be at the light source is it would be well, know, if it was reflecting sunlight, whatever. I'm not saying what it is. I'm saying for us to see the moon, the brightness that we see it. It would have to almost be the, it would have to be 10 million lumens ever, get the 20 million lumens, whatever it is. It's ridiculous number and right here, you know, if he's in a Dusty dirty ball, so that shows deception right there. Okay. 00:18:03Here's two photos of from Pluto. Write the number of Jupiter. I'm sorry. Thank you for correcting me. So, so, the first one is NASA took this in 2016. At the book. We saw these amazing Aurora's. Look at this Aurora, we talk. I mean, you have to laugh. Even if you don't know how to use, Photoshop on what a crappy job. That is what the problem is. The one, the picture that the NASA, these are both NASA photos from 2 years earlier. If you ladies over each other, every single little crinkle storm. Cloud is exactly the same and that's the telling us that those bands are spending a different directions. Those storms are moving that. It's a cash is liquid crazy planet and nothing changed in two years. It would change in 2 minutes guy, that tells you NASA is lying. Did you know that? 00:19:01Pluto, the planet it was discovered the same near Pluto. The dog was created right now. I don't have the the Pluto picture but handy but I'll do it. This is the picture that was on everyone's iPhone was called the Blue Marble and everybody thought it was a photo of the Earth. But if you look at all of these clouds are stepping repeat that, now, those are the same clouds the same clouds. Okay, the same clouds in there. They're these are just some of them and the guy the NASA visual artist that made it Robert Simmons said in an interview that he made it from strips of day that he created any hidden commands. Do you a lot? So they admit they have no photos of our Earth. 00:19:47Okay, they admit they they lie about those, the photos of other planets. What else do you need to know that everything? The NASA tells you is a lie. I can get behind that. I'm a hundred percent behind that. I've talked about the the government being, it's not out of the norm. We we've caught the government line before we've caught the government doing fuckedupshit to its people. Before we leave. That's been proven MK Ultra. You have the tuskeegee experiment. You have the government trying to insinuate Wars with the Bay of Pigs. You have the 2003 Baghdad the weapons of mass destruction. That's a whole another conspiracy theory on its own. 00:20:28But why would, what is, what is it about the round earth? And this is what I always think about, just to go deeper into what is it about the rounder that they will? Why would they hide that? Why would they? They keep the glass and intentionally hide the, the the, you know, the the Earth? Why would they mislead us to think that the Earth is round vs. A flat model? What is the the reasoning behind that? We have to go there right now we have to cuz when I think about all this everything you're saying I'm 100% on board with you. I guess. This is what I talk about all the time on the show. I want to go deeper and I want understand on a deeper level for this is the latest picture of Pluto. This one I'm pointing to okay, the Cassini spacecraft. I think it was that doesn't matter cuz they're all fake. I was going at 60 thousand miles an hour way out at Jupiter, where we're at that distance to the Sun looks like a star and it was well enough lit at 60 thousand miles an hour to take that photo, which happens to have this little outline on it, which kind of resembles Pluto more than just 00:21:28Okay, this is an official photo from NASA. Right? I believe that that NASA the whole reason up their name masses because they couldn't name themselves. The Nazis right. Date-date. They could intentionally say Nazis. They had a wall. I mean, what's the closest agency at the Hollywood studio? They don't want anything in the space except little model rockets and blimps that's a whole nother show. But, you know, they feed us cartoons. They, they admit, they don't have any photographs. They never use of the word, the name, the word photograph. They use the word picture and image, because those are photographs and they hate lying, but they're, they're deceiving us. So we can jump into. Why, why would they lie? And the answer is because they want you to feel insignificant. They want you to think that you are a random accident. 00:22:28In a infinite Universe spinning out of control on a speck of dust with billions of others of specks just like yours where an asteroid could take you out any second where we sources are low, where there's no out, no other place to go and you are powerless, accident, freak of nature versus knowing that you are at the center of creation that you are special, that you are powerful and that we are here. Having a Soul's Journey where there is more, there's probably more land. There's more continents. There's other worlds across the Earth, plane know, extraterrestrials are people from the extra Terra across the land Beyond Antarctica. 00:23:20Yeah. Yeah, I can get behind. It's like what's that movie? The Truman Show that I was going to say that there's nothing else to discover Truman. It's all been discovered. No hands a quote that he says that he doesn't look at the very end. It's a you only believe whatever you're giving are you, are you believe the world is presented to you. 00:23:44Let me find that Cobra. I love that much, a really good movie. And so you talked about the, the spaceships and the satellites. So what is it bad? That they're launching up into? Is it still considered the atmosphere? Can we call it the atmosphere? Or I do believe there's a dome, and I think there's some sort of do more roxies. You can count that. You can say atmosphere. I don't need to change that word. Some people call it the atmos plane, but there's you know, how they tell us. Space is a vacuum. Okay, and that if there's a hole in the spaceship you all the air gets sucked out and you got home, okay, but 00:24:29It breaks the second law of Thermodynamics. The second law of Thermodynamics says, you can't have high pressure next to low pressure. Let alone a vacuum without a physical barrier. Okay, you can't do it. So we live in a high-pressure world then and there next to a infinite, most powerful vacuum that we can't even recreate on Earth without the NASA. Vacuum chamber adult has 11 foot thick walls, of lead, you know, so it doesn't impact implode on itself and they still can't get it to the vacuum that they say space is why doesn't the vacuum of space? Just sucked all the air off the earth. And the only after the globe Believers have is gravity, gravity is holding down the air, you know, when it gets thinner and thinner until there's no, where it's bullshit because that any 00:25:15Altitude, I can get a straw, I can point it down. I can just live the week, vacuum of my lungs, sucking some air or even suck up some water, which is heavier than air and pull it up and away from Gravity effortlessly. Okay. So the gravity is not holding the air down, we are in. Now, the way I look at it is you will see a bubble on the bottom like you do if your pot of water and you got a bubble on the bottom, like when you're boiling water through the bubbles on the bottom live in that bubble, you know, we we I think that's space is liquid of some sort. At least that's what it appears to be. That's what, y'all many things point to the Bible on the first place of the page of the Bible. Not that I'm a Bible guy. But it says that the god separated the waters from The Waters. At with the firmament. There's lots of evidence of it. I don't believe space is a vacuum though. So do we actually need a physical barrier? I don't know. I don't know. 00:26:14Yeah, and that, that quote was we accept the reality of the world with which were presented. It's as simple as that and that stuff from The Truman Show also movie. And so yeah, there's also the plasma universe theory, which should I just hang of it? It's almost like when you said then when you when you separate water and oil, it doesn't make. So you've got that barrier. Almost. Is that what you trying to get out like that? If you look at the, the bubble on the bottom of a pot of water, there's really no physical barrier there. It's just the water separating from the water below, you know, from the bottom of the pan, Which is the Earth and it's holding up the water. The pressure is holding up the, what I think about this, When does the, when does it rain it rains? When we have a low pressure, a hurricane is really low pressure and then the water really play it. Well, that's measurable. When there's low pressure. There's a lot of rain comes in. So maybe that water is coming from the cloud. I mean, you've been in a real heavy rain storm. That's a lot of 00:27:14Get a bucket of water 5 gallon bucket of water. That's heavy is fuck. Okay. Well those clouds that planes can fly right through. You know, any of the pounds of water. Are you fucking kidding, you know, how much, how much a cloud weighs millions and millions and millions of tons. Yeah, and it's like, I didn't fucking floating above you. I was, I was out fishing with a friend of mine. So, you know how much like always? I was like, I don't know, we Google, it was like why you said millions of tons or something like that on my next time you fly through a pile. Cloud watch the windows on the plane. They barely get. Damn. Yeah. Okay, you're not flying through water. You know, that it's it's nonsense. So there is a transition up there between the waters above and the reality blow again. I don't know how it works. But when there's low pressure these, these these rivers of water come out of the sky, and then they hit those high winds and they get scattered. And you have the Gardens Denver. 00:28:14Hurricane, it comes down and sheets and rivers. It's crazy,. Florida, man. So it's not just floating above your head willy-nilly. So again, and they're lying about everything. They're lying about the water looking to tell us that the water started soon. There's not a water shorted, you know, the clouds that the evaporation condensation and precipitation is secondary water. Primary water is below us and above has its infinite in nature yoga. Be discovered primary water and was pumping it all over Africa until we blew it up. That's why he's dead, you know about the river. I didn't know about that because it gets Island somewhere another yet. So this is what wars are all about. Wars are about stopping people from knowing our true Origins. I'm going to be for 2 minutes. 00:29:14So good after he was in his search for oil and is always company country. Discovered an infinite Christine ancient Waters deep underneath the desert until he started, the largest aquifer project in the history of the known history of mankind, and he was building these. These Aquaphor pipes, you know, that you can literally drive trucks through. You have dug into the desert and he was pumping water all across Africa. He was any family that wanted to start a farm, he would give them, you know, tractors seeds, land, water, show everything you need everything you need to grow organic farm and is organic farms are popping up all over Africa. He was going to feed all of Africa, it took him forty years to complete this and then Hillary Clinton and gang went in and blew it up with the pleated uranium bombs the guy. 00:30:06It's on my channel ditrh. There's a video called just look up. Khadafi. Great man-made. River 5-minute video. You'll get, it'll, it'll tear you apart when you see what? What really happened and that is being wiped from the Internet. It's so hard to find the information about these farm. So happy we were all shown a, I'm a little older than you just. He was a horrible man, and he spoke in the UN and you I don't understand whatever language is Biggs livian and and that he's got that angry. Look on his face. He's able dictator were called and everyone just thought he was horrible stories about him. Raping girls. All nonsense. Khadafi walk through his treats and people hug him, not for fear of death because they love him. He was the great brought in my mind, the greatest leader of all time and his his speech that the news put off as just as horrible Decatur basically was saying that the new 00:31:06Call daughter is going to take over the world with a virus in the shell, in the, in the 20th, and 19th century by Century. Whatever yard, where is that? What is it? Just check out my channel. I have a Khadafi playlist, the, and if you can, also check out, I think it's on stoplookthink.com, and under a moammar Kadafi page. Nothing. Wild. It's on fucking real, but what an awesome guy and he was pissed. And so he's the first one that broke away from the petrodollar, you know, because we had a deal that all oil had to be traded through the u.s. Dollars and he's like, fuck that and he was doing it for Golden are so that along with, you know, discovering primary watering and feeding the world. They they couldn't have that because if people could sustain themselves, they wouldn't need the government. Well, that's why I again Nikola Tesla was onto something maybe. 00:32:06Add some tartarian knowledge of some sort. He was able to tap into the other The Ether, right? And that's why JP Morgan cut off his funding and Addison took all the credit for his work. You know, I'm familiar with that. But a question because I like when when conspiracy theories and our arguments conspiracy arguments, when they when they connect is Hollow Earth and flat related. Can they be so holler? Or if you thinking of a hollow ball with the world inside a ball again? That's ball thinking you have to clear that out of your head. What makes more sense is? Is there an underworld? Very possibly, I believe that there is I mean, there's definitely mud flooded underworld. What's that? So, you know, how do you know everybody in their science books and says the, you know, the world? And the there's a cross-section of the Earth where it shows all the different layers in the molten mantle, and your magnetic core. 00:33:06Bullshit, it's all made-up nonsense because the deepest hole ever dug on a flat Earth or bullet. Doesn't matter the deepest hole ever dug. And what is that? What happened at 8 Miles? They hit an impenetrable barrier, an impenetrable barrier. So, maybe that's the firmament of the underworld. Okay, and there's some crazy stories of like screaming noises like them. Hell coming out of there again. It wasn't there, don't know. But I I've heard a recording of it and it is really well done. Bakery of something. Or if it's real. It's sounds just like what he'll would be. But 00:33:47Maybe that's where the other one was. If you think about the Flat Earth build mock-up, it makes more sense that there is layers underneath us in layers. Above us, the highest rocket that was ever shot up was the go-fast rocket went. 73 miles is going super fast spinning and all of a sudden when kerplunk into a thicker medium, I don't say is water but it's thicker biscuits medium, it had. And then while it was floating and turning from Arizona, by the way, was shot in Arizona. It's all the moon. Well, the problem is, the moon was directly over Australia. What happened? Okay. 00:34:26How quickly did they turn that off? People didn't notice it, and it's out. It's still on the internet, but that wasn't done by an amateur rocket. So, you know, I don't know what they put out there on purpose. What? What flips out there. I think that honestly was a slip, but again, I'm not there. So I don't know. 00:34:50so, 00:34:52And that you'd know more about this than me. Cuz again, I've I've drove into Fighters before but not nothing too crazy. Just enough to just it just I know I just enough to be dangerous, right? Because I'm I'm up to par with with religion and there's different depictions and there's all these priests 1600 map 1600 the year 6. Inner maps that show different parts of the world that aren't around anymore and they just they attribute that to two errors. We have obviously the tartarian argument where there was this big Empire, but then after that Sequoia was dirt, they all committed errors that they did. They really? Or that all these wars that were happening all at the same with it. All happening, all at the same time because the whole thing with, with the government and we can we can get into that as far as as and again, it gets kind of controversial cuz you start talking about the Jesuits and all that shit, but at the end of the day time itself, Joseph Gallagher, which created 00:35:51Gallagher and chronology literally created the AD and BC system. That was a Jesuit priest, but I'm saying it was a man. You know what I mean? It was one guy who created and is able to keep it cuz how would, you know, like I saw this this article yesterday said that there's a computer that can compute 2.6 billion years and four minutes. What do you know, what 2.6 billion years is? How do you know that in one light year? There's 7 trillion miles. How is it that the Palladium star system is the closest system to the Earth by two hundred light-years away. But then it all looks all the same. You can have a map of the Galaxy. They literally came out with a map of the Galaxy but you can't figure out covid on Earth. Get it. So it's all nonsense. If you look at it, cartoon series equations, and lies it. It's not that you said you had a picture, you know, of the stolen. So Galaxy know you have a picture of some light up in the sky with in the earth system everything we see. 00:36:50In the sky is within the Earth system, you know, they say that that we've known for 500 years ago. They figured it out with sticks and Shadow as well. Guess what? Aristophanes is a made-up story inserted into Rockefeller textbooks in the 1980s. That story didn't exist before the 1980s. Okay. It's it's all nonsense. I interviewed a woman in January of this year hundred and two years old. I was interviewing her about the World Fair's. What's that? No, she went to it and she remembered it only should yeah. Yeah, so I was talking to her and she also was telling me about her 5th birthday party with Susie was upset about the coconut cake or whatever and Susie had a pink dress on. And I'm like, wow, I don't remember my fifth birthday and I was like, wow, she was around back, weird, weird interviewed a woman from Croatia who said that she was taught that the Earth was flat in the 1930s. 00:37:47Anna in school, so I said, where I have to where she went to school. She told me the name of the school, her teacher kindergarten teacher, who was in her class. She remembered all of this shit. And I said, what did they teach you in? Science class about the Earth? And I had never mentioned, but I think she goes. They taught me. The Earth was flat, but then they changed it a couple years later in the 1920s in America, in Connecticut in public schools. They were teaching flatter everyone in the world. Knew the Earth was flat in the 1920s and it wasn't until World War 1 World War 2 and all the other nonsense has put out there that they destroyed history. The world's fairs were I believe were built by tataryan. Okay, and it was the, it was the then then they destroyed those amazing incredible building Acres of this, beautiful architecture, destroyed. And there's there's so much proof out there. Still that will teach you about the Toria in the in the app on that second page on the more resources page. 00:38:47I'm right corner. There's a tutorial button, amazing stuff in there and it it changes all the time. So anybody that gets that check it out here and I got some maps different ideas of what the flat earth looks like you owe this blue one, right? Here, shows an outer ring outside of our world with more confidence. Okay, and perhaps the Sun and the Moon out there, some speculate, as Mars and Venus, Mars is a son in the outer realm, okay. 00:39:18So again, but the reason I asked you about if Hollow earther or flattered that they were late because obviously Antarctica, I always found it. Interesting that they would limit us to write this. This place that nobody owns. Nobody can ever own because of this treaty that they signed nobody's ever done. You can't go out there unguided why you can't venture out and, and there's even talks about pyramids and all this craziness out there and it's like, why would they, why would they do that? Like, why would they, you know what, I mean? Yeah, so and Antarctica, they don't want you to go there because if you go there you will understand that you don't live in a ball. The answers are not entirely. So the people that that are are having cognitive dissonance right now. I'm screaming every 1,000 people to go there 15 different companies where you can Charter a yacht charter you can go on a 00:40:18For of Antarctica, what was 15 companies are owned by the same guy. So there's really only one company while posing as 15 different companies. It would cost you ten to twenty thousand dollars to go for just a couple of days. You go there they'll bring you right to the edge of the shoreline will just bring you to the Shoreline and then we'll show you some penguins will bring you a couple miles out South to show you a pole in the ground will tell you it's a ball but you can't verify it. Cause compasses don't work in GPS, doesn't work and and that's it. There's no independent travel. The Antarctic treaty was made in 1957 and all the countries in the world. With all the bullshit going on in the world signed on and say we must protect the ice and the Penguin. We can't drop a cigarette butt down here. It has to stay pristine, right? That's insane, because environmentalism wasn't even a thing. And, you know, to this very day we can cut down the Amazon forest and plant palm oil trees. It's it's absolute insanity. This treaty is stays in. 00:41:18Play and cannot be questioned by any individual or any Corporation until the year 2041, right? You can't even in the treaty. It says, you can't question the treaty, OK? Google, you can't just go to Antarctica. Eat logistically is almost, it's impossible. But if you want to plan a exploration and then. You got to fill out a ton of paperwork. If I see about $200,000 in applications, and then when they deny you, they keep your money. Okay. So it is we have a video on the app under the 21 questions on there. What about Antarctica? It's called. Sorry, Antarctica is closed and one of our researchers was a lawyer. He did all the research to all of documents and showed you why it's impossible to go to Antarctica and explore independently. 00:42:12Send another question. So that's the South Pole or Antarctica. Obviously, we can't go there. 00:42:19What what's the reasoning? A 10in? What's the reason behind the north pole? Shifting? And then supposedly they have to adjust that every so often. What's up with that? Have you ever have you ever seen the North Pole? She has been told that the people that have Tonya Colvin to think they're the ones that told you. Okay? 00:42:40Wow. Yeah, the thing I posted on my Instagram was like the same people that want you. I want you to believe the elections weren't rigged are the same people that want you to believe that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself to the same, but the reptilian ask people that that that rule everything and they just sit there and is is the United Nations Flag. Is that Flat Earth? Is that right there? I mean the in-your-face don't go check out this this map. I'm trying right here. This is the world record Guinness Book of World Record for circumnavigation. If you follow that trail there you basically just goes down into into Antarctica and then turns around and comes back. This is let me see what it looks like on a real map. Okay. So this is this is the the the trip that they went. So well. It's coming up. So they went from, they went from the North Pole, you know, they went all the way down south. They went down to Antarctica. 00:43:40I went out a couple hundred miles or whatever that distance is a turned around came back, then they went cuz it backwards so it's hard to make. It went all over all the way over here to New Zealand and then went back to United States. I came early Point not to do this and then up and around. And that counts is circumnavigation. That's the world record for circumnavigation. That's the actual path that they took. Who was that person? That did that? I'm, I forget the name. I had you could look it up and I think it's called the pilot or something. It was paid for by the elite. It's all bulshit said, nobody crosses over Antarctica, you know, if if you want to fly from New Zealand. And if I was going from from south from the tip of Santiago South America, and go over to Australia, which is right behind me here. So, Australia 00:44:35I am, I can see the name all the way up on all the way back down. That's on a ball. That makes absolutely no sense. When the truth is, this is the, the real path. This is the same flight. Pass on that y'all converted on a flat Earth Map. It's a straight line. That's how you go to those places. There's also another route that they take, they do sometimes go around the outside around the around the long way because there is super high-speed winds out there, a mail to 200 miles an hour plus that they can get a Tailwind on. And then they have these special planes that can fly you home at 6, 700 miles an hour. Now that bread that brings you up to around 3 to 9 or 2 miles an hour and all of that make sense, you know, with these flight times. So, so I don't know if you answer my question. What are they launching up into the 00:45:35The flattest, fear, whatever it is, you really want to trigger your audience. Right? I mean this is what this shows all about triggering people. Yeah, so I can say I'm a big Elon Musk fan, I have stocks in Tesla. I love, I love who I don't like to think that he is. I don't like to think that they're using project starting to initiate Project Blue beam and to use it as a, a projection system that they already have. So maybe is NASA and all the space agency's because they talked about needing a space force is all this for the, for the government to launder money. Or what the fuck is all? I can tell you. What was the question you asked me months ago that we're going to look into those rockets work at? We're going to get there in a second. So this is official picture of Earth from Mass. 00:46:35Okay, and you can see we got the United States here and I represented what we're seeing on the face of this globe with this circle here on this map. OK, Google and is on the other side of that ball. 00:46:52Okay, and and and Elon Musk is involved in that seal. Unless he's the CEO of Tesla cost of a Tesla automotive. He's the CEO of the largest tunneling. Companies, the CEO of the one of the most successful solar power companies. Easy was the CEO of PayPal. He's the CEO of 00:47:1208 took over fucking NASA. Okay, he's building rockets that are going to. There's no way a team of 20 people could handle what he supposedly handling. It's all bulshit. He's a, he's a puppet. He's are an idol to worship. He's a moron. You heard what he said? When he lost his stupid, fake are in the space, right? If that looks fake as fuck, but I don't know. What did he say? He said, you can tell it's real because it looks so fake. We would have better CGI, right? So I have mixed feelings about when it comes to Elon Musk because I feel that I feel that cuz he's, he's come on. He said a lot of weird things as far as I quit covid and the simulation that you behind him. Again, let it's like the Flat Earth Society. They throw out a little little piece like all know. He's a good guy. Throws out some bullshit. You know, it it's it's not that 00:48:08Wow, I mean, I love you. I love you mama. And then how about the other guys? You got ya Virgin. Galactic you have also Amazon with Jeff and we break down these rocket launches. They do their it's so it's it's so bad that love the CGI. It's so fucking horrible. It's so horrible. It's unbelievable. These burnikel Landings Landings. On the Drone ships. They cut out, you know, before it landed ten stories tall and weighs like 20, tons, or forty tons empty and a little bit of fire and a little milk. Crates are moving around, you know, are going to are going to steer it on to the tilting and this drone ship. That's Heating in the waves and it's going to land, upright. Are you kidding me? You couldn't. Cuz I'm in Florida. We have plenty of space in. Or what am I looking at? 00:49:08I'm seeing this thing fly in the air and go up towards because I have a video that I can pull up when I'm talking so. 00:49:20I'm going to get into that in a second, but I'm just going to bring up this picture first. Okay, this is we're all traumatize where every kid in the country was wheeled to television into their classroom, when the Challenger what took off and the teacher on there and everything and it blew up and every kid was traumatized and it could kick the can down the road because you have work. And I will tell them space by eating all the year 2000 and in 2010, and in 2014, and 2024, now, and whatever. So, all of these guys died, except we kind of found their twins that have the same name. They all were the universe him. Okay, they say they have an idea that they're not, the person that there is a identical twin. Okay, this guy, Richard Scobee, he's got a company where the logo on his company is a flying cow with smoke coming out of his ass. That does the same Loop Dee Loop that the smoke Trail of the Challenger did. Okay. 00:50:20I mean he's trying to tell you something there but here's the thing. All right, so maybe not to like hiring. Astronauts that have twins that they could study like bone density of the one that went to space in the one that didn't post yet, but I'll give him that none of the twins showed up at any of their twins funeral. 00:50:40None of them so they felt Krista Macaulay at a funeral and her identical twin did not show up at the funeral. Wait till they had that it's proven. They have identical twins. Well, you can deny it but that y'all do it with those videos. Again. We have the videos, this this woman right here. She is a law professor at Yale. Okay, bonds, and this is her when she went up, and there's a video of both of them doing speeches. Yo, her, when she was going to get into space and her at the as a lot better. If they have the same dimple, the same twerking their tongue, the same teeth, the same voice, the same hand Jesters, the same everything. Okay, there's zero chance. It's not the same person. Right? But these people are scamming, you. So what goes out? Let's go back to, you know, what goes up. This is hurting. My this is hurting my head David because I bet if 00:51:39You're talking about kids and this is just NASA. Okay, we got to keep in mind that all these other countries has space programs. What that mean? Why are all in bed together? Is this all just a live-action role-playing game and they're just they're just fucking with us and all these wars and all this shit is is just it's how many battles were? How many people died in an in the battle of the Cold War? 00:52:08I don't got a clue. There's no battles. Nobody died. There was no clothes washed. There is nothing. It's all, they're all in on it together. If you look, now, the Chinese just landed a one-man Craft on the moon, the other day just recently, and they got dust and it came back. Did you watch it? It it what looks worse than the original? Atari space invader. Okay. It's a dumbest crap ever and people just buy it. People hear about it. They don't go and look at it. And when they look at it, I don't know what happens to their brains. They melt because it's the worst crap ever. It's worth South Park. Could do better animation. All right, it was it the Chinese, the Chinese landed, landed on the moon, just the other day and it if you watch the video, it's it's the most pathetic crap ever. So. So let's talk about, let's talk about what what goes up in. 00:53:08Space. All right, so 00:53:14They're launching something because you were seeing these things. Lots. But if you watch the, the one you if you see something completely different than when you see on television and when you watch on television, watch just go look up, any launch, there's three or four or five cuts before the thing basically, you know, clears the power. They never show you one clip. It's a movie, right? They throw your clothes out that far that is up in the air and zoom in on it. They never show you a One-Shot from the ground all the way up. Okay, and you can make excuses all you want but they never show you that this and they also go up. They care about the go out over the Bermuda, Triangle, restricted Waters and they either crash them or they blow him up in the sky. I don't know what they do, but they're out of you very quickly within a minute. You're watching CGI. On the computer is on the television. It's nonsense. 00:54:08The space shuttle. Never had any people on it. The space shuttle. This is this is the one that's going to freaking kill people and this is where they're going to, they're going to short-circuit, but I have videos coming already ready, you know the external tank on the space. Shuttle the Big Orange tank. Yeah. 00:54:27You know, when the space shuttle takes off at rolls over on its back. So the tanks on the top side and the space shuttles on the bottom side,. Why I rolled over? I don't know because that external tank is a blimp. 00:54:41Get the fuck out of here is the largest user of helium in the world. Okay. It's a blimp ever. See how slow it takes off. Okay. Yeah. 00:54:52It's a rocket assisted blimp at that. Sometimes they yell, they launched. They don't want anything. Sometimes they lost a miniature. You're too far away to tell the size that you really don't know. But those are blimps and if you watch the tank, when it disconnects, it's floating in the sky like a Macy's day parade, balloon, right? I have videos that will show you all of it. Your I can pull up a video right now. If you want you want me to do, I'm just trying to process it. So so love you. Let's talk about this. Talk about this. I was going to say that when Joe Rogan had this business, like I have this astronaut on the bald guy. Forgot his name. Mark Kelly on Earth. He said he's married to Gabby Gifford the one that got big shot in the head. 00:55:52He said he said, would you ask him? He said cuz one time he's like, I went up there one time, and there wasn't this window and then I came back the next time and that the window was there, and Joe Rogan said, who, put who put the window up there. He was like, he like freaked out and 00:56:12He just change the subject and there is also I talked to Mark about it. There was a this this I forgot the story that they wrote that there was a hole in the space station, but then if there was the vacuum where what would happen with the whole? What caused the whole? You know what I mean? Maybe there isn't a vacuum because it's not real. All right, and if you really think about it, when they have they shipped up, parts for the space station, what year? Was it? Even built? And I don't even know that shit. There was a hole that that hit hit the space station just like last year. A couple years ago. I forget how far out long ago was and Mark Kelly. I know I forget which astronaut tweeted a picture of it. Okay. 00:56:56It was whatever there was a picture. So he tweeted a picture of it and they fix it with duct tape and gum, right? Guess what? That hole is the album cover of a band that was about 10 years earlier. Okay. It's that one of them is the one Mark Kelly tweeted. 00:57:20And the other one is an album cover from 10 years earlier. 00:57:24Wait, so it cuz it says they're 24th released 2014 years ago. 00:57:34That's the thing. I mean, it looks the same, but here's a thought. The same rephrase that sends it is the same. Okay, it's the same picture. It's the same picture, NASA is lying, again. They lie about everything. But are there so sophisticated. What were they fuck up with that? I needed. This is what David I talked about the poor. Not that bright. Check this out. They fucked up like that. What I'm thinking that they did it on purpose because they're laughing, because guess what? They put this out dishes. This alone should destroy not to 100% biggest 65 million dollars a day spell. Even though, Elon Musk took over with SpaceX. They still get 65 million dollars a day. I don't know what the hell they're doing. This. Should the joint after, but people don't care. Tesla, put his fucking car into space. That pretty cool. That's pretty cool, right? 00:58:34Homes in the world. 00:58:36Of course, there's the wall over the place. That's what's the worldwide company. Don't you think they'd have a freaking poster of that in the showroom. Hey, this car went into space freaking ad campaign, ever the cover of omni magazine Time, Magazine Newsweek fail, Popular Science, National Geographic. It's not in any magazine. It's not in any car dealership. It's know where they want to bury those pictures so fast because it's all bulshit. You don't send that car up and I'm not use that. That's an impossibility. 00:59:10I thought I saw it on a magazine cover. I was like, the time I can be no possible that it was on one magazine cover, but it wasn't on the big boys. Right? And then nobody covered it because it was such crap, you know, people say, you know, what, what about the space station there? Their, they're floating there playing with stuff and augmented reality. No luck luck. Check this out. I'm on the space station. I'm floating on the space station. Okay, and then, they have things all demented reality of contact lenses and sometimes just monitors and they can manipulate things in space. Right? It's not a theory, they do that. We even have caught them passing something, and the guy was passing his hat and the guy missed it, and he thought he had it and he put it on the Shelf, but he missed ya. Ya, ya. Ya is this is astronaut to get so butt hurt, when people call him out on it. Who was it? Lance Armstrong or something that Armstrong? 01:00:11It was just a sore throat. Punch somebody in the face, Neil Neil Armstrong email and he's guys won't do that. Cuz they know the about the by putting their hand. On the Bible says that I'll give you $5,000 cash right now. We had the money that and just where he walked on the moon and then you can give it to a charity. How nice? Is that? Would not do it. I have David David Nunez Rodriguez, David Rodriguez. I was interviewing and he's he is a professional boxer and he met a Buzz Buzz, Aldrin. And he knew that the moon landing was faked. And he goes, he, he got buzzed look like semi alone for me to go to a buzz because I know you never went to the moon. I know you're at the moment and Buzz smiled at him, patting him on the back because you're smart kid and he walked away. 01:01:06Yeah, but how much credibility do these stories have? It's like Alex Jones talking about Buzz Aldrin. How he told him about the monolith, you know, I get it, you know, you can tell stories all day, but it's, you know, if you went to the Moon. 01:01:27You're the first guy on the moon and not only, did you go to the Moon, you bought a fucking dune buggy and a set of golf clubs. You played golf. You wrote a dune buggy. You had a great time. You're hopping all around you came back there. Or would you recite? Yeah. I mean, I've seen the pictures where they're just like, you know, they would you be so men. 01:01:53I want to get into into. Imma see, you said that these Venus might be a a a star from another system outside of the, the ring. The nordics also have a Had A peculiar system of what they interpreted the world to be almost sort of a flat Earth model, really of. You can't deal with the disc and then you have the different worlds up above that. Where do you stand when it comes to the Multiverse and different dimensions and all this stuff, and Aliens, the greys Bigfoot. What where do they play a role in? 01:02:31And flattened in the Flat Earth model. So, you know, aliens, y'all people say, those are demons, whatever. Aliens are extraterrestrials two different things extraterrestrials come from the extra pair of Beyond Antarctica. That makes perfect sense to me. They could be from the Lands Beyond Antarctica. That's probably speak English. They can get here in a date rap, you know, it's not it's not a big thing. 01:03:02L is Bigfoot, I haven't seen anybody that yellow one of our fellow researchers who lives in The Boondocks of South Carolina. She said, she's has experienced some things and she did a great video, exposing me all possible Bigfoot or whatever his help again. Probably believe it. I have no proof. It's not something I can really speak to with any solid information. And then sorry, if the, if the round earth model is fake. 01:03:34What else is fake as far as cuz I mean this can drive a person insane. I mean I can see why you would say 1 1. What is that one video a day or two a week isn't a video day? One video day and and it'll, it'll wake you up to this reality. Here's the problem me again. People don't like change, you know, and then let her rip the entire floor out from underneath you. But once you get over the being pissed, when people say, you know, there's nothing I can show you. Dave, that would convince you, you never willing to change your mind, but that's what I changed my mind. I used to believe in the freaking Globe, right? I made the biggest change in history, you know, because I realized I didn't know anything about the globe. So, you know people that defended low birthday, think about her. If there's a disk in space with other circular plan is global young spiracle planets, that's not sent nothing like what we think. They think that the Earth is rising to cause the gravity. That's not true. That's Flat Earth Society nonsense. 01:04:33They they they don't know how big the Earth is. They don't know how fast it's spinning. They don't know all the Motions of the earth. Do you know the Motions of the Earth? 01:04:43No, do the Motions of the Earth are crazy on the, on the spinning ball or a jumped past here at the spinning. A crazy amount of miles per hour is 1000 miles per hour. So that means, when you're watching the sunset, you have to believe that you're falling over backwards faster than the speed of sound and that's making the sun appear to go down. Okay, that's the slowest motion, what? I'm going to tell you while you're spinning faster than sound your orbiting, the Sun at 66600 miles per hour, how fast that isn't the answer is absolutely, do not do any of the fathom. That's because I can't comprehend why nobody can while you're orbiting and Spinning, You Are Chasing the Sun like a comet, and the sun's going at a half a million miles per hour and all of the other planets are keeping up orbiting the Sun while it's shooting through the sky. And that entire system is moving. 01:05:43Highways at 1 to 2 million miles per hour. It's a klusterfuk and everything Remains the Same everything. If you go out tonight and look at the stars in the sky. The fixed star is not the wandering stars and you mark where they are at like midnight or whatever time and then go out next year at this exact same time or any year. 01:06:11In the future or the past, those Stars will be in the exact same position. 01:06:17That wouldn't happen night tonight in this beehive spiraling out of control. Insane heliocentric system that they tell us we live in it. Here's the problem. It's called the two by the three-body problem. NASA has what's called the three-body problem. You have the sun which is this Giant Gas ball to somehow coalesced and created this infinite amount of gravity and then to 93 million miles away is the earth. That's like if the sun was a one of those yoga ball. The Earth is a marble like a mile away. Okay? That it's insane. 01:07:01Somehow the Earth is falling around the sun because the Sun's gravity is holding it, but it's falling around the sun because obviously, it's a gravity so that's gravity's holding on. And now that's a good. Make. A model of the computer hair. Got this ball here. I got that says, it's much better. This one does this much gravity and the model works perfectly. Then you add a third body, any size body that has any gravity in the system and the entire system falls apart. So, while we're orbiting the Sun, the Earth grabbed onto this Moon and this moon is falling in the opposite direction around the earth and it's holding it. What happens when the moon gets in between the Sun and the Earth? The sun's magical gravity ignores the moon and just holding on to the Earth and the Earth. Hold on to the Moon. 01:07:51That's ridiculous. Bullshit. And you couldn't sell that as a B rated movie. Right? Why doesn't the sun rip the Moon away. Why does it even just tug on the moon a little bit? We got all these other giant planets in our solar system, when they all line up. How come that gravity doesn't just tuck them in a little bit out of position and change. What's going on. The sky is a perfect clock. Okay, clock is in a beehive. We all were bees are flying and every different direction. A clock is a precise mechanism. Did you know that eclipses, go on an 18 year and I think, 11 day cycle, and then they repeat again and again and again, no, I didn't know that they are on a cycle. Like the wheels are clock. Okay, they Mark, they Mark time. 01:08:38So we are, we're on the the sky clock is is a precise marking of Seasons X ages ugly. On December 21st. We're going into a new age of other Age of Aquarius. What is at the age of Aquarius? Is that what they talked about? You know, again, these things don't happen like that. You know, nothing I say nothing is going to happen that day, but it's the clicking over. It's like when you wake up in the morning cuz I got you have to get up at 6, whatever. Then you're allowing this month, the 21st of December to 2020. This is the Chain lyrics. This is a once-in-a-lifetime wait longer than a lifetime. So 01:09:24What's going on? You know, what are the lead of the elite hiding? Maybe it's a time where we know our brains are going to awaken Amor and they're trying to keep us in fear, and they're limiting or oxygen with these masks and they're giving us back scenes that could stop us being from being able to think properly who the freak knows what's going on, but this is all about control. 01:09:52This is why they're hiding Flat Earth because they don't want people to know that we are. We are literally spiritual Souls, having a journey at in this realm. And they want us to believe that we're in significant, you know, accidents that happened in the middle of a Godless are distant God, the universe. Well, I name my last episode covid-19 the new religion because, yeah, I feel it is, I mean, it, it, it's what we all think about 100% of the time that we were, it's in Golf Tour live for the last Almost year and maybe, perhaps maybe they've kept it inside, so they can do maintenance on this whole system of projection, right? NATO. 01:10:40What? I have a question for you, what would it take for you to? Let's say that. Okay. Let's say that they got the math wrong. 01:10:48What they have the model, correct? I'm talking about the round earth model broad, doesn't prove. The Earth is flat. It just shows you the NASA fraud and they're they're the main portrayers of the globe. There is no curvature. Okay, we can we are Optics have outrun their lies. We can leave use lasers mirror flashes with the sun. We've used microwave just visual zooming in on stuff. We can see too far we can see where one foot above the water, water the rising to be 1.9 miles away so we can see what are Beyond known distances like an oil rig. Wind turbine of 15 miles away where there should be two hundred feet of curvature. Okay, you shouldn't be able to the water but not only we can see the water Beyond them, the surface of the water. Be on them. 01:11:48Right stuff, like this picture behind me. Convinces people. That there's a space station. Okay, but this was taken in a swimming pool, right?

Joining us today is Steve “Stix” Nilsen, the vice president of lifestyle marketing at Liquid Death Mountain Water. He has some bold strategies that have proven effects on branding, brand loyalty, marketing, and generating profits for Fortune 500 companies. When asked how he does it, he said “I do cool shit, with cool people, that makes people buy things.” You won't want to miss this fun and lively interview with a down to Earth guy that has some serious moxie! What we're talking about Epiphany on a Beach Tenacity and Forging His Own Path Trying New Things, But Knowing Your Boundaries  Epiphany on a Beach Steve grew up just outside Minneapolis, MN, but visited family in Hawaii over the summers. It was his summer fun that sparked his love for surfing. Even though he went to a private prep school and played traditional sports, he was also passionate about skateboarding and music. It was his love of discovering who he was that led him to try jobs in many different industries, from being a golf cart boy to construction to working in a bank. All the way to working for Northwest Airlines to indulge his love of travel! It was during one of his adventurous trips around the world, Stix had an epiphany. He was sitting on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia when he had a revelation. His career needed to be in action sports! Tenacity and Forging His Own Path  To obtain a career in action sports, Stix went about it his own way, by grabbing every action sports magazine and studying the brands he liked the most. He cold called companies. He took their existing ads, and redid their marketing with his own comic flair. Sending them back to the companies for review. His boldest move and big break came when he talked to the director of marketing at Airwalk. Her home had just burned to the ground and she had to be on a plane to Europe a few hours later. She was too busy to take his call, so he mailed a smoke detector to her home! It worked and he was hired. Trying New Things, But Knowing Your Boundaries Steve had worked hard to get his foot in the door, and he started working in merchandising. It was when he realized that they were doing it all wrong, and his advice fell on deaf ears, that he decided to learn everything up and down the ladder so he could make the decisions to best position the product.  Will you take your passion and make a career out of it?

Man, that sounds weird because I know Steve as Styx STI x, and I'm not going to ruin the story of how he got that nickname for you. It's coming up early in the episode and he'll tell you all about it himself. Styx has built a career in the action sports Industry helping to build brands and marketing companies like air walk Red Bull paps. Yep, the Blue Ribbon beer. And now he is helping to build the brand of liquid death, which sounds like some weird cannabis brand, or a punk rock band. But it's canned water.

I could listen to stix of stories for hours and I loved his honest take on branding and what it takes to build a brand and this is his story. Alright, I am here with Steve Nilson of liquid death. And Steve, I think this might be the last time I call you Steve, because everybody calls you stix. How did you get that nickname? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 3:12 No, I honestly I was given it was 1998 around there. At the time I was building snowboard boots for airwatch and I was over in Asia and long story short is you know, when you're over there in these factories is roasting right and I would wear shorts to the factories because obviously it's super hot in Thailand or Taiwan or or Shanghai, China. And when I wear boots, you know if you guys have skinny legs, it looks like Jiminy Cricket with the boots on and one day my boss at the time who's still very close with me got super irritated about something he was not really me personally but what was going on in production. And we all got really loud. How do you balance them sticks because he's he's from frickin Boston. So stix stuck like that and coworkers are laughing by time I got like some in states camp so he felt that way to SPX and Stop, but it literally is because I've seen the lights. That's not very, you know, glamorous story. But literally, I did look like Jiminy Cricket. I just came across some photos I dug up the other day and I'm wearing snowboard boots and 100 degree factory. So Marc Gutman 4:14 well thanks for that context. Now we're gonna know why we're referring to stix going forward. And stix. You probably have the coolest bio of anyone that has ever been on the show so far. And I'm going to read it because it's very, very short and to the point, I do cool shit with cool people that makes people buy things. What's that mean? Yeah, what's that mean to you? Like how'd you how'd you come to that bio? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 4:40 You know, I think it's because I, you could cut and paste your resume or you could do liquid gas. I'm sorry. resume or you could go to LinkedIn rather, and just cut and paste things and there's not a whole lot of soul to that, I don't think and if you really want me to dumb it down, that's the best way because I'm always run, moving her miles now. And they always say there's quote unquote elevator speech. That was the best way to explain it to you, as he was about to drop it into skate park. If someone asked me what I did, that's what I'm telling you. I mean, it's quick to the point and then maybe pique their curiosity like it is you and it's really just, I'd like to think that my career like, I've had so much fun. And I think that I did all my life, I can look at it that way. I just, I'm not going to do something. If I'm not reading, my heart's not into it. Let's just put it that way. And so you sniff out in your life, brands, people situations, you want to be a part of and make it so you know, and that's really, again, it's probably being a little cryptic, but I hope that answers your question. Marc Gutman 5:36 Yeah, it's a great, it's a great, it's a great answer, stix. And you know, one thing that I know about you and you've touched on it, you dropped a bunch of clues right there talking about dropping into the skate park doing cool things, the cool brands, you know, why don't you tell me a little bit about what your young stix was like? I mean, where did you grow up? What were your interests? And how did that set the foundation for where you are today? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 5:58 Make a very long story short I grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Specifically, it's called the Dinah, Minnesota, which we are known as cake eaters. It's a hockey reference to long strip, anyone can look it up enough cake eaters if you can Google it. Anyway, I have relatives in Hawaii, and I became absolutely infatuated with surf skate culture. I just thought it was the coolest cook back then. There was no packs on. There's no zoomies. There was no, you couldn't find the really cool clothes. Except if you go to the skate shops or shopper. Well, we obviously have a lot of that in Minnesota. So when I visited my relatives, I come back with Quicksilver and the different surf brands, billabong, Town and Country. And people are like, where'd you get the word you get the clothes? Where'd you get that? And it's it had made to mainland United States. Yeah, to me, I guess on the coast, but not on Minnesota. And I fast forward. You know, I really got into skateboarding. And snowboarding hadn't existed yet. And I love that but we could only do it a certain amount of time during the year and that wasn't particularly good. But I got Have some kids from this called Southwest High School, which kind of borders along with the suburb that I grew up in. And they were like the kids, I was just, I was fascinated with the fact that they were so into punk rock that they're the ones to tell me about First Avenue and Seventh Street entry, which is anyone has anyone played those venues as a kid like we're talking to a black flag, Jeff a circle jerks, like all these bands, you could go see him for like five bucks because they'd have a matinee show in the morning or midday and then they'd have the Id show at night they call them or whatever. 21 Plus, and that was really what I did. It's funny because I played traditional sports the whole time. But I just was something about that the music, the way people dress, all that really, like captivated me at a young age. And I think it has to do with the fact which is why I believe travel is so important for like the growth of kids if you possibly can do it, to see other cultures see other things. It helps you figure out who you are and for me by me going to experience what it was like in Honolulu and in Maui, and seeing these guys these cool you know, Massimo was actually a surfer and originally people don't know that. That brand And things like that I was just infatuated with it. So that so hope that kind of gives you a little snapshot that I kind of did both. It's like I played the traditional sports, but I love the punk rock skate side. It just was such a curiosity, but I just love how passionate people were. And you could kind of express yourself, you could just be you didn't have to follow on and I went to private school. So everyone kind of the same costume and not that we had to wear uniforms. But I was fascinated that, again, the music, the the activities of skateboarding, and then eventually snowboarding. It allowed you to be you like whatever that meant, and no one's gonna judge you in those circles. Yeah, it's Marc Gutman 8:38 so interesting. I mean, you and I have a very similar background in that, you know, I grew up in Midwest as well. I was super fascinated with skateboard culture. So much so that I used to just look at Thrasher magazine and dream about that lifestyle until the second I could go to California. I did move to Venice Beach and quickly realized that it wasn't quite like it wasn't the magazine at that time. But But like, you know, Really can relate to that. And so what was like, I mean, what was just so special for you and the one thing that was a little different was like, you know, I always thought like, some of the music that like all the skaters were listening to and I can thrash and all that was a little like, a little hard for me. You know, I was more of like a Detroit Detroit Rock City like heavy, you know, metal hairband, kind of kid, you know, what was it about that? That combination of skate and in music that really spoke to you and you talked a little bit it allowed you to, to self expression to like, why was that important? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 9:31 I think it is because I went to, you know, a very well renowned private school in Minneapolis. But the cool thing with this school, I will say from freshman year on in high school, they really had them really that the kids they're really like music, and I'm not saying about playing on a saxophone or a quarter or even though they were known for the choir. But you got to remember I grew up in the thick of the replacements, Cusco do early soul asylum and people would go to the shows and I would have a senior driving freshman to go see the violent felons, let's say. And I just started going to any show I could get my hands on, like you get a ride to but here the school I went to would be a preppy I guess is the term you'd use. But it was fun because we didn't have like any high school you're gonna have the guys little known fact, one of the founders of ice magazine was a year older than me. And we used to see each other punk shows all the time, you know? Think suroosh Alvi. And he's still there. And we would see each other all the time it was funny because then I yes, did I have clothes I guess you can probably but then I would maybe do a twist on it and go buy a pair of camel pants at the army surplus store. And then my mom would would hand them in or make them a little narrower. You don't need to be so baggy, and just like a fun little twist on stuff but we have very little to choose from back then. Not in a destitute way but in a way that we're pretty much had a few department stores to choose from. So the fact you could go do that so like I had a friend of my late friend morning almost. I bring him up because my one of my closest friends died in 911 100 fourth for the South Tower. He's actually the first person on the victims list. If you look at His last name is Ahmed. And he's one of my son's is named after him. But he was funny with Mr. Like, preppy guy, but be the first guy that one might make his own t shirt or want to go to a punk show. And then he wouldn't alter what he could still wear like, it was like a damn shirt to a punk show because he just no one really messed with the meter. It's kind of bigger guy, but he and I are totally online on music. You know, we'd love everything from the cure to again, replacements to Cusco do and then digging really really deep. Like I said the gfa is the world which word for it and we're even pit pihl public engineer limited, which is an offshoot, obviously the Sex Pistols, but we used to take a bus to downtown Minneapolis, the six plus and we would go to northern lights which was the record store and dig through crates for vinyl. And then there was this was owned by this Asian couple called sons su ns and they're the ones who have all the concert tees and you go on their wall and you look at these five screens printed in black, but you couldn't any of the bands you couldn't see you ever see like the Smiths I go into the Smith's work by seeing a T shirt. I bought the T shirt I have no idea meat is murder. What the Smith It was different. You walk down the street, you were like, what is meat is murder. You know, that's the name of the album. But that was kind of how it happened in Minneapolis. Fortunately again, though, it considered a cold destitute place. Otherwise, it had a really good art scene. My mother works for me, Apple sister of arts for decades, you know, had a really really good thriving theater slash music scene that you wouldn't find major metros, you know, and you needed to try it. But I'd argued right up there was Chicago, you know, they've got venues too, but just a smaller version. No, yeah. And I think Marc Gutman 12:31 it was really cool, like in those kind of smaller, mid major towns because Minneapolis isn't like a small town, but it's not Chicago. But when you get the bands that come into town, you get them to yourselves. And so in a way, it's almost better than when you're like trying to fight through a Chicago crowd or an LA crowd or New York crowd for both tickets, just proximity and that type of stuff. You'd be out on the town and you'd run into your favorite band or something like that, which was always so cool. And, and you touched on something and I don't want to get too existential here, but like There really is this awesome idea that, you know, when we align with brands and we, we display those brands, it really says a lot about who we are and you were able to really go out and perhaps and I don't know this to be true. I mean, was this sort of your first touch in realization of the power of brands and aligning with brands and also, not just that you aligned with one brand when what I really heard from you is that, you know, young stix who wasn't stix at the time was really this combination of many brands in order to kind of be the person that you wanted to be. Steve "Stix" Nilsen 13:38 Hundred percent you know, I can honestly this is, again, gonna sound cliche, Fast Times return Hi, I will completely 100% that movie. I went checker dance. But the funny thing is, you can find him in Minnesota. My sister was going to school in Arizona, I get a graduate degree, and they actually she was able to get a pair for me there. And I remember I wore those and they ain't Another thing is I didn't want to wear socks or anything but Korean socks. They were like a science experiment. I mean it was just was so those things were so right. My mom would meet people outside. But those were like a badge of honor walk around those vans because we didn't have them in Minnesota. Now they're solely to get their name bands and always been kind of mail order. Back then it wasn't FedEx, you know, maybe there was but like, I, you weren't gonna get your shoes overnight, right? You find the backup when you said Thrasher or Transworld or skateboarder and that was around, and you'd fill out it was 1799 for tear shoes, whatever it was back then. But those to me that and like camel pants and just a white t shirt. It's pretty cool kit, you know, 1984 you know, whatever it was, you know? I mean it was and so you're right and but you gotta remember that he we didn't have Abercrombie and Fitch, we didn't have, again, Pac son. He didn't have these places. You just like Okay, I'm gonna go to the department store. And then we think of fun ways to maybe monkey around with the clothes. I might not mean to designer I can't so to save my life. But maybe it alters a jacket completely. Obviously you're cut the sleeves off. If you want to. mean like you're just wrong. And by no means again, I wasn't. Let's not paint this picture and walk around like a guy. That's cool enough, but I always try as best I could with what little I had to work with, to tweak it a little bit. You know, I didn't want to be the same shirt, same things, everybody else because they all we all wear the same outfits with costumes, as I like to say, at the time. Marc Gutman 15:18 Yeah. What do you think that interests like in fashion and pop culture came? Because it certainly shows up later in your career. And we'll talk about that. But you know, where do you think that really came from? Where was one of your parents kind of into that stuff? Was it more your association with your friends? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 15:32 No friends, so I came from the most conservative household ever, you know, very Christian, amazing upbringing. I don't have a complaint in the world. It's just very, very conservative. You know, I mean, now the house is pretty much like I think those rooms I still never been in or have been their house, you know, but and that's no disrespect. But definitely I was there was one of my family was near punk rock. I don't know. I have three siblings. My oldest is my brother. And she did introduced me to a lot of bands that I got into late and like I'm talking about the last five years were way before I ever thought I would like it, you know, Fleetwood Mac, he would play jurnee. He would play Pablo Cruz, he would play. What's the one like Michael McDonald, Doobie Brothers, all these things, which at the time I didn't care for, as I've gotten older, like, I kind of dig it back. You know, I mean, it's some of the stuff which I never would have never. That's way too slow for me at the time. But now I've come to appreciate like journey. Like I just got journey's Greatest Hits for President. Are you kidding me? Like, if I know I played in my living room. Marc Gutman 16:33 So we went here that's exclusively with Mack and journey. All right, everybody. So like stix is a Fleetwood Mac journey efficient. Steve "Stix" Nilsen 16:40 I mean, I can't listen all the time. I wouldn't be able to sit still long enough. But the funny thing is, though, my brother did go to concerts a lot. So I kind of got caught. He told me some hilarious stories when this first arena shows me you know, I must have been five years old, and he's going to these and tell me when the house lights went off. The first time it's film that stadiums with North Stars played. He literally thought there was a power outage. You know, they do that. before they get on stage, and I forget who was going to see I think was, oh, Linda Skinner, something like that. And, you know, they cut the house lights, obviously for anyone and he just said how he almost urinated soiled himself because he thought the power was out, you know, but just explain what it's like to go to his first show. But he took me to see kiss. He was in college, and I was in middle school, whatever it was, and I got to see kids when they were in their heyday. This is 1979 or 80 or something like that. got like, that's first time ever smell weeks. I had no idea what the smoke was everywhere. And it just smelled funny, you know? But again, I taken my brother ticularly first kiss show again. That was the full original lineup. So I got to see that was pretty cool. Marc Gutman 17:36 Pretty great claim to fame. So here you are, you know, you're just finding out who you are. You're dabbling and skate culture and music and figuring things out. You know, like, what was your first real job and what was it in marketing or was it Steve "Stix" Nilsen 17:51 God? No. I my first look from a neighbor was he literally had a Chris craft boat where those goodies whether they're called you know the ones for eautiful Have to store that. But in the meet the same time, my brother at this point my brother has was in law school, whatever, but he'd worked for a local golf course. And I ended up because they liked my brother so much. They literally like, I got a job there. And it was awesome because I was in charge of the golf carts. So I go around, but I got to interact with everybody. You know, I mean, anytime you just wanted a cart, I'm going to bring it up in in the golf carts and really actually a really good golf course. So public course. But that was one where I was just, you got to, you know, really interact. A lot of people see different people for different walks of life, because again, it's a public course. Right? And that's where I was introduced to the Beastie Boys, because one of the guys that I worked with him cards, pull out this license, the L tape, and I was like, What is this and I was like, I think I melted the tape. We listen to it so much. And I just was so fascinated because I didn't know anything about hip hop or rap or anything like that. But I loved the Beastie Boys style those guys to me, if anyone has moved the needle culturally, with anywhere, this the Beastie Boys, I'm serious. Like I was So in fact, I'm thinking how could these dudes leave their from Brooklyn and you know, the fighter, right, all that stuff, but if you really outside of that hit that they had. So the subs, like amazing like Paul's boutique, I think is one of most underrated albums. Like, I put in the top 10 most underrated album, I mean, what those guys did. And it's ironic now there's this spike Jones documentary on it, but those guys just look at what they went through. I mean, I remember reading an article they were they bought ups, outfits to wear on on stage, but yet they had a big catalog out of like, retro champion where they were going to do who was doing that at the time, you know, I mean, just retro old school athletic wear, and they were making it cool, you know, and then I saw him play live and I was like, Okay, this is this is a whole nother thing, you know, but that was I roundabout way of saying how I was like, I got exposed to something else. You know, being at this public golf course. It's like, wow, Beastie Boys. What the hell is this? You know, I knew all about punk rock, but I didn't know and then that there became a crossover. Those guys originally. Were coming in, you know, not many people. I don't think That lookup I think it's probably walk stools are first of all up and look it up. Yeah. And Marc Gutman 20:04 so you know musics of throughput through your life where'd you go after the golf course, Steve "Stix" Nilsen 20:08 golf course my senior year and then I worked construction, which, again, great life lessons there. I learned to this day enough to be dangerous. It's Brian wall wiring plumbing. But it also made me realize I didn't want to do manual labor. It was a great experience. I got through with friends we a lot of laughs But I knew it was something that I didn't want to do. Second summer, I worked at a bank. And that was another huge learning experience because I'd have to go every morning I put on a tie go down downtown Minneapolis, and I remember calling my parents saying I'm going to be in college for 15 years. This is what the real world is like, because I can't it was just like, droids marching every day. The same thing was just a miserable experience on under artificial light in a cube. You were wearing a tie. I was wearing a tie. Yep. And I the funny part is I'd have to drive myself First Avenue to get to the where I worked. And I thought someone's gonna just pull me out of my jeep and just wild me for wearing a tie so close to sacred spot like that, right? Who would have thunk it years earlier, I'm waiting in line with all the other kids trying to get a ticket. And I drive by and wearing a tie. Right? And then I thought that the most the least painful thing to do would be to be a copywriter because I was originally an English major, and I didn't know what to do with that. I loved it. I got to work on the Harley Davidson account. I got to work on this thing called Skeeter Boats. I'm not kidding you. But it was like it was a cool environment. My boss was really cool. I got college credit for it, which is awesome. From there, I went to work for Northwest Airlines. And the reason I'm telling you that is the fact that I studied abroad in Australia for a bit and by that when I got this internship with united with Northwest Airlines, which became Delta, they just opened up the Australian market. So they actually ran everything by me to see if it was going to be authentic or not. And it was just something about travel once again. I'm like wow, this place I live in this earth. I got credit for it. And my payments was they gave me four tickets to go anywhere in the world. I wanted to go back paying cash. And then my last internship for credit was I work for a public relations for Minnesota North Stars, the hockey team. And I obviously did a great job for Dallas the next year. No, it really I just didn't realize I didn't want to work. It's not what it's cracked up to be to work for protein. But it's not okay. When you're in the bowels of the stadium, not not only the fun part was those I part of my job is to take players to go talk to schools. And that was, I will argue that not just because I play hockey, but professional hockey players are probably the coolest pro athletes will ever meet your life. They're so humble and self mocking and appreciative and because most of them did come from small towns in Canada or Europe or wherever, or or they went right into juniors and never really got finished high school. So for them, they're just happy go lucky and it was a great experience. So that's a long winded way of explaining kind of experiences I had. Marc Gutman 22:57 Yeah, where'd you go on those four free trips. Steve "Stix" Nilsen 23:00 Let's see I blew my knee out. So I went to see a friend in Maui who's a dive instructor. I'm a certified no Patty diving, whatever. And I would just because I couldn't move my leg, I think I could every day, which is diving groups. And I just tagged on behind the group. So I got to scuba dive every day for free for 10 days, where my leg was just dragged behind me in the water, and I did that. So I think I went to San Francisco but then I went back to Australia, because after I graduated college I got and that's where I had my epiphany for my career. That's where I was like, that's when the light bulb went off. I know the exact spot on Bondi Beach rather sitting having a beard like seeing that when there's a skate they used to have skate ramps, now their actual cement bowls, and I remember I want to be an actual sports. I was watching these guys surf and like I want to be this is this is like I would go into the surf shops and every corner I would always want to surf shops. There's this brand SNP that wasn't really a player for a while it actually sports business and that was bought by Riot snowboards and then it's just kind of like it's licensed out now. But that's a hot brand on Australia. The time is just fascinating. Everything about everything. Every little magazine I get my hands on. I was absolutely infatuated and funny thing is my job down there had nothing to do with music art or action sports. It looked I was writing copy for a nonprofit that I care because it gave me a tax ID to live there for a year and live on a beach. So that's really where I was like, This is what I do. Marc Gutman 24:19 Yeah, like, what was the will kind of take a little moment here, but like, what was the scene like that? I mean, was there really like an action sports industry at that time? Or is it more like these sort of like little brands, little skate shops, like what does it look like at that time? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 24:34 It's, you know, the one thing that was starting to take off at that point was snowboarding. Okay, this is 95 year of 95. And I lived in Australia, and I made my way over to New Zealand to ride it's called the remarkable mountains over there. I mean, I still have my first snowboard jacket that literally is a glorified flannel with like a Teflon pad on the bottom and it's funny, it's like dropped, which frankly is back in style, though. I should pass it on next year. But never it was just everything about it to me though black flies was like the hot sunglass brand and they made goggles my first goggles were black box okay, but it wasn't it were the really the final part. The final catalyst for me saying this is what I have to do is I got back to the states turned down some job offers were literally charity from like my buddy's parents You know, it just it was nothing I would have accelerated or really enjoyed. It doesn't matter what it was. I t just was not to me it's more corporate stuff right. And I went to my first work tour. And at that point was the second year of the tour. I missed the first year living in Australia but I saw it in a magazine and they had a couple bands so I just still to this day love orange nine millimeter quicksand l seven, some wine was a part of the first one. And I drove to Milwaukee Wisconsin with my girlfriend at the time. And that's where I saw a Warped Tour and I still have some photos of like me in the pit shooting with a 35 millimeter inside, penny wise and then the outside me shooting guy skating the skateboard and remember going this is what I want to be this What I've got to do like this is so me just just people having fun was punk rock. We're skaters. And then the brands that were part of that, you know, at the time it was billabong, and I think even though there's a thing called split, it was it was a clothing brand. They were part of it. But they had a little booth there. And, you know, I was a little kid in the candy store free stickers. I mean all that like I get it. You know, that was my first taste. But yeah, this is like marketing 101 or grassroots marketing, just get the brand in people's hands and let them decide for themselves where to put the stickers what to do what brands, you know what I mean? And that was that was my aha, like, Okay, I'm onto something here. Because there's no way there'd be a tour like this if this wasn't what yet. But you got to remember, this is before magic zoomies existed at that point. But before these was in the stores started, really, really being a little more prominent in cities more and more popping up and skateboards is something it had been in California, obviously in some pockets around the US. But I was sitting there going, Hey, how can I get in this business? And that was literally like that. I mean, I was like laser focus. Like how many The minute I got home, I started my long slog and try to get my foot in the door. Marc Gutman 27:05 Yeah. And so it's so interesting to me. I mean, you know, from a very young age when you describe those internships, you were very astute to align your interests with some sort of business need, right? So you know, you love to travel so you went to work for the airline, you loved hockey, so you went to the North Stars realized it wasn't for you, but that's okay. And then you go to Australia and you have this like, you know, this this epiphany and what I was imagining when you were talking just about that environment were with grassroots marketing and people handing out stickers. It was so interesting to me. It's kind of like where we are now today with social media, right? Where we're like brands don't really own the brand. There's all this conversation and all this interaction going on outside the brand, by the customers by their by by the fan base and very much like that was happening for you, right, like everyone's handing out stickers and authenticating the brand and having their own conversation. Somebody was just like, really interested. To me, but you come back and you're like, I want to be in this business. I mean, what's that plan? I mean, so, Hey, man, I've been struck a few times in my life to where I'm like, I know exactly what I want to do. And I have this amazing fantasy. And then I go like, Oh, crap. Now I got to like, actually make it a reality. And sometimes that doesn't always add up. Like how did you like, start that process of getting into action sports and actually making a career out of it? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 28:26 Honestly, I grabbed every magazine I could get my hands on. And I just got to the players were and not not in a backdoor I'm in it was like I just I knew brands that I really liked. brands who maybe didn't resonate with me as much and I had no choice. This is pre internet. Like I'm cold call, right? Well, then I find out there's this thing called si a show. And I literally was 300 bucks for like three nights and airfare to Treasure Island at Vegas. And I went into the show with resume And the funny part is I've never really told him the story. I was thinking to myself because I was surrounded by like, how am I gonna? Help me stand apart? Like, these guys probably gonna have pluses I didn't know what the trim bro man that everyone's just kind of gets backdoor bro jobs. And in Minnesota like I grew up in a walk, right so I've flown ski I wakeboarder which is how I destroyed my leg. But I also compare for so I literally was handing out these resumes with us a picture staples of me barefoot, right because I thought that was kind of badass. Like, you know, I didn't know what I know now about how what like a charity of sorts and he's actually sports Branson, so I'm sure in high tech Okay, cool. You know, you don't hindsight 2020 but I thought how can I turn some heads or get some attention with my resume? So I attached picture of me barefooting you know, cuz I still do those tumble turns and go down. You can spin around and get back on your feet again. I thought you know, someone find that interesting, but they got it in hindsight. I mean, I might as well Wearing a tutu? No, they probably thought, who's this clown. So I literally when I went started doing was collecting business cards. Everywhere I went and I took some, some people were nice enough to give me like a honcho card. And other people would give me like a customer service persons card, it didn't matter. And then I thought, Okay, I'm going to take what I learned at the agency, and I took their ads from the different brands and I made them funny. I just stopped funding them making stuff and get a kick out. So I was mailing back at this again, pre internet, so I was really going to everyone under the sun Marc Gutman 30:33 Yeah, how are you making ads talk about that. I mean, were you like making collages with paper Steve "Stix" Nilsen 30:37 I would take their ads out of the magazine Exacto and change their headline, or take a Polaroid or something and kind of superimposed on at the time and it was kind of a cool come to write, but I didn't, I didn't I didn't register, Marc Gutman 30:50 but you're not using like a computer or like Photoshop or anything. Steve "Stix" Nilsen 30:53 I didn't have any of that. I didn't have computer for years. And I thought I would mail them back and of course then I will The phone call and you gotta remember man, like, I'm trying to get my career all my buddies are in Wall Street. You know, that was where I grew up. I wrote that set with those guys role. And that's nothing wrong with that just wasn't my scene, but you know, and then my parents dining room table, you know no buddies are all partying in New York, right? But I just knew I couldn't do it but I kept calling, calling calling some people I got through to some people I didn't. But I just knew that I knew I was so mobile. I was like, someone want to be moved to California because I was moved to Chula Vista for that brand SMP. I would, I probably never would have left Southern California and I moved to California, and it just didn't pan out. But again, it just you just lesson learned. You got to try and try and try again because you are gonna have the door slammed in your face, especially that industry being as young as it was at the time. I mean, it was like the ultimate like old boys network, you know, and, boy, good luck breaking into that. And I just knew I was going to be an asset to a brand but I also still knew I need to learn a lot from pinion that only makes a mistake once and never having a mistake again and I'll own up to it. You know, so that's really where I was at the time. Marc Gutman 32:03 But I'm sorry, I missed that. Did you? Did someone bite on that? And did you get a job? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 32:08 Yeah, I what had happened is I was getting so down in the dumps. And the one brand that I focused in on because they weren't every single magazine snow surface skate magazine was arawak. And at the time, they had the who's who, every sport. They even had a few surfers, and I was taking their ads and doing stuff in cut. I don't remember her last meeting, but the director of marketing, same thing was Nina. All I remember is that they were they moved from Carlsbad, California to Pennsylvania, and I was just thrashing around with letters, and I call call call cold call. And then I picked up the phone one day and said, hey, it's Steve Nilson, you know, and she was Oh, it's cute kid again, because Listen, kid, I don't have time to talk to you. My house just burned down. I gotta leave for Europe and fires like, Alright, I gotta go. So I mailed her a smoke detector in the mail. And she called me like last But two weeks, three weeks later, she's Oh my god, you have balls kids like, Yeah, she flew me out. And that's what I end up getting a job. That's what I needed. That's why I was always confident, like, one on one with someone, but I just needed a chance. I just needed someone open the door for me, you know, and apparently I did well, my interview, you know, but I just I guess maybe I was so pumped up from trying to get in the industry that I probably overwhelmed with all those feeling. It was just longing for an opportunity to just like, show I know what I was talking about. And I guess the one thing that you know, I was fortunate enough to go to some really good schools Is that you? I was I learned how to kind of cut mentalize and articulate what I not only looked at the industry and just being a sponge, which showed me how when I'm interested in something, I am like that idiot savant. Like I can just absorb everything. Remember every little detail and I think I would probably overwhelmed with them when I was interviewed at arawak. But again, all I needed was that chance and they gave it to me and the rest of you know what that is. So that was my first stepping stone but I had this Fight and claw to get that, because there was still an old boys network even at erawan at the time, they're like, why would you hire a guy from Minnesota? No. And my parents were so blessed because they taught me early on things when only manners but being a good listener. And, you know, by that you can you can learn from people and comment on it versus some people just want to be heard all the time. And so I've been blessed the way I was raised, because I think that I was able to do both of them. I was a student of the game, but then some that I was going to go out this kind of a calculating way and not just fly by night for stuff against the wall. Hope it sticks. Marc Gutman 34:34 You know? Do you remember that first day at arawak? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 34:37 I do. And you know, I'm gonna be honest with you. I feel again, I haven't really ever told anyone this but I just remember one of the first big meetings I was at. And there was a few people and again, it doesn't matter who it is whatever else but I just sit there going in my brain. Were positions that I wanted and going, Oh my gosh, I know I could run circles around this person. Like no comparison and I I was amazed. It's my first taste. And it happens to this day of people you could put in positions either, you know, right or wrong happens. But I'm thinking, I would absolutely crush that position. And that was the only thing where I was like, Okay, I'm the one getting chided, because I'm from Minnesota, and I'm looking at these people, like, I'm sorry, but there was just I started questioning these people could even put a sentence together, you know what I mean? Like, you'd be cool all day long, like, Hey, man, there's got to be a business acumen to this too. You know, that's all it was just again, no disrespect to anyone in particular. It was just more of I sat there going, wait a second. So I'm getting chided by these guys. And I'm sitting there going, you got to be kidding me. Like, what? You know, um, so that was a big eye opener whether it was an old boys network was just like, selling to someone and that kind of thing. And I don't know, this is a brand you can't just off your Bros. Like you gotta have people who bring in people that know what they're doing, you know, but I think then again, I wasn't a physician because I had no experience at the time to do that. I know like the stand up. So became my goal. to basically get these What do you want to say? feathers, my capper arrows in my quiver to learn, learn, learn, learn and learn. So every part of the business, the sales part, the marketing part, the production part. And that's what I set out to do. Marc Gutman 36:13 And so what was your role when you started and what was your role when you left Steve "Stix" Nilsen 36:17 So funny that when I started, I'm not kidding you. My first thing because I wanted to get my foot in the door, was I was a merchandiser. I'm not kidding. So my skin my role was to run around big to stores and make sure our stuff look good. But the funny thing is, it became very, very obvious to me that we were doing it wrong. And I was so low on the totem pole. No one would listen to me but like, the Tony Hawk shoe should not been to Carnival should not have been on the wall at journeys, because that was the lifeblood of the skate shops. And I started telling him that but the person who reported you didn't want any part of it was the type of person that just never wanted to rock the boat and just kind of did on the roof. And I was just didn't sit with me. I'm like, No, no You can't just do enough. All right, don't check box. It's like this isn't right. We're headed for disaster here. Because back to skate shops like I felt comfortable in skate shops. And to this day, I could go have a conversation with a kid about skaters or surfers snowboarders. You don't I mean, it's a different it's, it's almost like a little clubhouse of sorts. But that was a real eye opener. So what did I do? I just tried to like I went to Nordstrom for Pete's sake, we had our shoes in Nordstrom. Okay. And I'm sitting there going, Okay, like, there's no product differentiation here. Like we can't be having the skate stuff in a Nordstrom. You just can't do that to these little shops because, you know, they were, you know, less than what you'd get it. You know, I mean, Nordstrom just undercutting and price wise, I guess maybe not torture, but you know, some of the other places the bigger big box stores mean arawak ended up paying for the sins of all the brands that are in malls now. Because it was so it was just antichrist to have your shoes, or any action sports apparel in a mall, you know? So that was where I started and then at these meetings, I would say this is what I'm seeing out in the field, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And to make a long story short, basically they said, okay, tough guy. If you see an issue with a pricing, one, you want to get development. And that's when I got into the snowboard boot development, and spent three weeks a month in Asia building summer boots, and it's actually dabbled in shoes as well in the skate stuff. And again, total eye opener, got to travel the world like, you know, see, Bangkok see Hong Kong numerous times, Taiwan, Thai Chung, you know, and the funny thing is at the time that he was getting all the crap for sweatshops, but they're getting picked on because of the big one and having success but we all share the law at all. But we all share the same factories. They were the ones who just the big target, but I thought was so funny that they were getting all this heat, the sweatshop thing and we're all in it. And frankly, factory jobs like the best job in town, a lot of those places they were getting, you know, people lived on campus. They three square meals a day, their schools for the kids, it was actually like Good deal for the local locals. So I just I learned a ton from that time being a product developer. And then fast for the last role I held was was basically snow marketing measure. You know, working with Mike arts and Joe Babcock and the abs. It's funny, it shifted from being a rapper to going into development. And that was the last role I had was was when they moved the company to Colorado, and I was working the snow division.

Yeah, and so in at that point, you know, you were doing snowboard boot development, you're in the snow division. Did you start doing some of those unique collabs at AIR walk or was that a little bit later in your career? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 40:48 That was that came later. But I think that why those came to me was because of my understanding of product timelines, raw materials, how that works, how the how they come to production. caliber work. So if you want to work with a brand like, Hey, we want to do a shoe or a jacket rubber for it, let's do it for, you know, 2021 season Well, this day and age, I don't care how good the technology, you still can't get anything done that fast. And you're gonna like, probably wouldn't be able to unless you put a patch on something that's an existing silhouette, you know, but again, we did, I will be honest with you. I mean, I do have a few pieces that I have made for myself over there that are one off, and it's just kind of fun to have something that no one else in the world has, you know, because I knew that just custom shoes for friends and family, things like that. It's not a big deal. All I do is have a little extra different material to make the tongue a little different color or whatever. That was super fun for me. And again, I can't draw to save my life. But I think one of the things that I was able to do because my time is merchandiser when we would do a design review and put all the silhouettes on the wall. I'd like to think I picked out probably the one was going to sell the best off the shelf. Like I don't know what it is. I just Look at it took me two seconds, I look at that one. And I'm not saying it always was the case. But I think that again, I want my learnings of being at retail, and going to numerous countless, because I covered the whole Midwest accounts, everything from shields, in the Dakotas to these little skate shops, like I was like, okay, that's okay, what the company is doing that they're not going to do. Now given. Once I went into the office environment. I was more traveling to like trade shows and events and things like that I wasn't on the boots on the ground as much. But again, unfortunately, that culminated in so many poor decisions made by the teams, the leadership that by the time, my counterparts and I got a position to do anything that brand was pretty much done, unfortunately. So that was my MBA. I'm not the only one. Were my office, my family and I have a master's degree and that was my extra degree. And how not to do business was what I learned. arawak Yeah, when I started getting that would arawak argue is one of the top action sports brands of any time. We just made the number boots on word. I thought they were eating burdens lunch wise. And they haven't done head to toe yet. But just if you look at the old rosters of the teams, I mean, there was no comparison. You know, it was that hot and to the way that that that poor decisions that were made, in hindsight and again, it was just it bringing the sales guys from the big shoe companies, you know, phila, Reebok wherever, didn't sell these guys were taking orders, it dumped the shoes on the table and furniture, knees, that's looking stuffs, the skate stuff that ended up in journeys. And then we just choke out the little guys that they've relied on Jeff rally shoe. There were a lot in 2002. There were a lot of Jason Lee, there are a lot you know, Mike Frazier, and we kill them. We literally like it. Because again, Vance wasn't a player that they are now. And it was asked us at these events on the wall, the skate shops, and the majority Was there one shoot and it's just to see that happen and not really have any control and I'm never gonna get in that position again. That was brutal. Marc Gutman 43:56 Yeah, and you're I mean, you really did you. I mean, you hit it like it's heyday like where it was like at its best. And then due to private equity and demands on shareholder returns really kind of just went went downhill and didn't go the right way. But, you know, like you said, you did get basically an MBA there, you learn so much. I mean, we don't have to get into it now. But I know that you have so many close friends from those from those days as well and that have gone on to do other things. But from that point, you sort of start like a new chapter of your career, which really is turned into canned beverages in a weird way. And so if I forgot this, right, you went to red balls that right? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 44:38 Yeah, Marc Gutman 44:39 yeah. And so you got there and oh, my gosh, talk about sort of the poster child for action sports marketing. I mean, really, is there anything you know, at the time better? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 44:53 No, you know, I have to be honest with you like, the stars aligned for me at that point. It was without trying me. It took me a year. To get hired, and that's how they were so new, no one who had an energy drink was, when I think about it, we was it was so crazy, I guess would be the best way. And I'm not I'm not kidding you. It's like I won the lottery. Because all sudden, overnight, you know, again, they didn't have the brand equity yet they were they were gonna build that. But overnight, I basically had a, you know, on my expense report, I had a line item for a long time, like I could expense I mean, who does that? Right? And it took me a while to really, I was one of the first force marketing managers and I remember I've always believed in rolling my sleeves and training my team. I've never asked anyone to do something I would do myself. And I was putting on an event somewhere and I'm in Brighton all over the venue, right? And my boss stopped me. He's still a dear friend. He's like, Dude, what are you doing? And I'm like, dude, I gotta help you. Because that's why you have a budget to hire the event crew to worry about. Okay, I need you to make sure everything's straight. Like, again, you want to help, that's fine. You're going to help us big time by making sure your branding looks right and whenever it's just chill, like let the worker bees work. Your phone And so it's not saying I ever got comfortable with that. But but then it got to the point where we literally live by the mantra like, pay the fine. Like we asked for forgiveness, not permission. And it was unbelievable because right then we ended up having to remember the channel crossing. You know, we are Felix Baumgartner goes across the English Channel on a jet when he does that, right. And that became a benchmark where it was like, Alright, what's our next channel crossing? Because I've made international news, you know, and so that was where the heat was turned up on us as sports, right matches, what's the next athlete project you're going to do? What's the next event? What is the next channel crossing, you know? And so it was overwhelming to me. I mean, they treated us so well at Red Bull. I mean, just it's, the company is very, very skewed like they, they get it does have that euro vibe. They're very, very like driven and results driven. But the difference, this is one thing I've learned, which is my soft spot, is that I was never ever held to a scalable number. All right stix you do that we better sell X amount of cases. Never, ever once in my tenure, there was I ever held my hand held to the candle saying, if you're doing this, you better said we better sell more cancel. They just knew it. And I think that that is a key to a really, really successful team is when you all have a common goal, but you trust each other. And no one's ever packing anyone else. No one's ever like, well, he did this. She did that or whatever. No, it was like the part that became the biggest pressure cookers when we'd meet a couple times a year and we'd literally have each, each of us or five of us would get called out to the carpet. Okay, what's the next big idea? That's pretty when you got the Austrians over here, and they're like, what, what's next? What do we do? What's the next idea? And that you could never have the exclusive This is the crazy thing. Think about this. Money was never an excuse. Like I mean, I didn't know that was $960,000. Okay, money was never so that was not new, you could hide behind. But the funny part is, you can have a very, very impactful event with just a case of product in a bottle of vodka. You know, I mean, it's just dependent on you don't I mean? How to do that. Not everything was a home run. Not every single thing resonated. But this is before you know, certainly before any social media, you know, so the only output we had for a lot of this content was it was originally a G shock rush hour I think it was called some like that which became fuel TV. Well fuel TV. It was that like after a while, like okay, rebel, you're doing amazing stuff. But this is also becoming the rebel channel. We can't use all your content, which is why Red Bull and they started getting into this when I parted ways in the rebel media house where they become their own production and all that and, you know, it's funny, ESPN even sniffed out as well. It is brilliant on rebels. Yeah, they were painted by this crazy airtime and New Years and just put their own branded events on there. And you'll get basically if you consider what the cost of media buys, it was nothing was a drop in the bucket for Redbull to reach millions and millions, millions of people something super unique. You know, like Robbie Maddison doing the lawn rolls large jump over a football field. Or you know, All righty, Madison stuff. You've seen it years. And that's typical red bull, like we're going to come in. We're coming hot. We're going to do it right now. It's gonna be people can't touch us probably, you know, cost wise, you know? Marc Gutman 49:05 So why'd you leave red bull, if it was so great? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 49:07 You know what? Honestly there's like any company there was um, shifts and how they were going to do originally the sports marketing crew reported to Santa Monica and had a dotted line to Austria and and that got watered down and there was they decentralized that and you know it's like anything you get Growing Pains is a big company and you know when I started a sports marketing manager, you handle everything from a soapbox race or a photog which maybe you've seen where you know, flying the means when people make their own little crafts or jump off a deck, you know, they've done it everywhere all over the country of Portland, Santa Monica New York City. All sudden they broke it out to right now you're gonna have an event manager you're gonna have an athlete manager. It's just got her water down. I'm not saying from a control freak perspective that I needed my hand and everything. But then they want to they were talking about shifting people move different places, but surely wasn't really Colorado and Pascual Riven came out of nowhere and different stuff to think about how to hem and haw about us the passing of the money was pretty much a dormant brand. But I could sense there was this brand equity that was building because the athletes I care I could give whatever they wanted whatever bottles surface especially the skates know guys like I want Pepsi. Pepsi ribbon. I had had that in college and that was literally because it was whatever's on sale. Right. And it's just had this cachet to it as an escape guys special they're just like password and password like what is going on? And it's funny how that segue happened. Because I went in there going Oh, yeah, I can do some fun with this brand in the back of my head going holy crap. How you gonna pull this off with nobody? You know, I mean, talking I said over and over again talking about going penthouse to the poorhouse. That's exactly what happened. The budget was big time. Yeah, but then Marc Gutman 50:47 so and what was that? Like? What was the marketing plan at paps? I mean, like you said you have a lot, you know, not very much budget. So how did you deal with that? Steve "Stix" Nilsen 50:58 Well, the one thing that It became very clear to me was I had something that 99% of events need. And that's alcohol. And I knew if I could figure out the distribution system, you can't ship alcohol in certain legal but we had hired FM's field marketing managers, our market agents we had a calling in different cities. And we thought you know, we're going to do this as grassroots as in as in person as possible in you know, in marketing to amplify the brand. But we if the stars align the way a couple things got one, we were in a recession, okay, to perhaps in having marketing behind. So if nothing was being shoved down consumer throats, this is the you know, PB army SAP, none of that, but it was just it just chugged along. And we're cheap. I mean, the bottom line is with that, and I often like to refer to Goodwill hunting. Remember that that wealthy girl starts dating Matt Damon, and it's almost like she's kind of slinging it. He says to her, it's almost like you know, paps had this like kind of dirty connotation to it. You know, like you're a little dirty. I have in the past. The big aha moment for me, I think it was 2010, something like that. We did a, I'm sorry, I was approached friend or friend type thing, which is where a lot of my opportunities came from, like once I was able to pass on some of these doors started opening for me in music, art and action sports because of my relationships and past jobs. And I got hit up by I don't remember what brand it was. It was Alexander when tech ran, but it was one of the brands was doing an event during fashion week in New York City and they said, We want taps there. And I'm sitting there scratching my head like, Okay, I have zero money to give you. This is something Heineken would pay 10 grand just to be in the door. I don't get it. So I said I will sponsor this but I need to be able to come check it out. And sure enough, I went there. I didn't have a black turtleneck like everybody else but whatever. That's right. And I walked backstage and it's passed in these bins and you know, they do that where they put the cloth drape in there and then they put water in the bins. It was us some shishi water and don't carry on. I'm not kidding you. But when the light bulb went off when I was sitting Around whenever he was milling about after the show was a runway show, and I sat there and watched it and whatever, didn't get half of what these people were wearing, but whatever I'm supposed to, but I saw these little wavy models carrying pops in their head. And I knew, right, well, they wanted nothing to do with the liquid inside. It had everything to do with it, they had that camera in their hand. And that to me was like that is brand equity. And literally, I always kind of looked at apps that way, I looked at it as it's not, we're not a beer company. We're a brand. And I think it drove the other beer companies nuts because they just couldn't figure out how to crack our code. But they weren't set up to. They couldn't be nimble. They couldn't do what we did. And we never asked permission, just like Redbull we just did it and we'd literally get asked for forgiveness. And I can say now knock on wood. I didn't have one thing but you the button, and there's a lot of illegal things that happen just b
