De schade lijkt hersteld en Harmen kan weer in gesprek met zijn Trump-stemmende familieleden. In deze tweede aflevering ontmoet hij in een wegrestaurant met de ‘beste hamburgers’ van Michigan zijn oudste neef Johan: een ex-marinier en overtuigd aanhanger van Donald Trump, met op zijn hoofd de rode MAGA-pet. Verder maakt Harmen een uitstapje buiten de familie, naar ‘buurman Jim’. Dat Harmen en Jim elkaar nog niet zo goed kennen, blijkt van invloed op de toon van het gesprek. Brengt Harmen het er heelhuids vanaf? Leidt zijn nieuwe manier van ‘gevend luisteren’ tot toenadering of juist tot nog meer onbegrip en verdeeldheid?

And now your hosts, Alan Hall, Rosemary Barnes, Joel Saxon, and Yolanda Padron. Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Allen Hall: Podcast. I’m your host, Alan Hall, and I’m here with. Rosemary Barnes in Australia and Joel Saxon is down in Austin, Texas. Yolanda Padron is on holiday, and well, there’s been a lot happening in the past 24 hours as we’re recording this today. If you thought the battle over offshore wind was over based on some recent court cases, well think again. The Trump administration just dropped the hammer on five major offshore wind projects. Exciting. National security concerns. The Secretary of the Interior, Doug Bergham announced. The immediate pause affecting projects from Ted Eor, CIP and Dominion Energy. So Coastal [00:01:00] Virginia, offshore wind down in Virginia, right? Which is the one we thought was never gonna be touched. Uh, the Department of War claims classified reports show these giant turbines create radar interference that could blind America’s defenses. Half of vineyard winds, turbines are already up and running, producing power, by the way. Uh, and. I guess they, it sounds like from what I can see in more recent news articles that they turn the power off. They just shut the turbines off even though those turbines are fully functioning and delivering power to shore. Uh, so now the question is what happens? Where does this go? And I know Osted is royally upset about it, and Eor obviously along with them, why not? But the whole Denmark us, uh, relationship is going nuclear right now. Joel Saxum: I think here’s a, here’s a technical thing that a lot of people might not know. If you’re in the wind industry in the United States, you may know this. There’s a a few sites in the northern corner of Colorado that are right next to Nebraska, [00:02:00] and that is where there is a strategic military installations of subsurface, basically rocket launches and. And in that entire area, there is heavy radar presence to be able to make sure that we’re watching over these things and there are turbines hundreds of meters away from these launch sites at like, I’ve driven past them. Right? So that is a te to me, the, the radar argument is a technical mute point. Um, Alan, you and I have been kind of back and forth in Slack. Uh, you and I and the team here, Rosemary’s been in it too, like just kind of talking through. Of course none of us were happy. Right. But talking through some of the points of, of some of these things and it’s just like basically you can debunk almost every one of them and you get down to the level where it is a, what is the real reasoning here? It’s a tit for tat. Like someone doesn’t like offshore wind turbines. Is it a political, uh, move towards being able to strengthen other interests and energy or what? I don’t know. ’cause I can’t, I’m not sitting in the Oval Office, but. [00:03:00] At the end of the day, we need these electrons. And what you’re doing is, is, is you’re hindering national security or because national security is energy security is national security, my opinion, and a lot of people’s opinions, you’re hindering that going forward. Allen Hall: Well, let’s look at the defense argument at the minute, which is it’s, it’s somehow deterring, reducing the effectiveness of ground radars, protecting the shoreline. That is a bogus argument. There’s all kinds of objects out on the water right now. There’s a ton of ships out there. They’re constantly moving around. To know where a fixed object is out in the water is easy, easy, and it has been talked about for more than 15 years. If you go back and pull the information that exists on the internet today from the Department of Defense at the time, plus Department of Interior and everybody else, they’ve been looking at this forever. The only way these turbines get placed where they are is with approval from the Department of Defense. So it isn’t like it didn’t go through a review. It totally did. They’ve known about this for a long, long time. So now to bring up this [00:04:00] specious argument, like, well, all of a sudden the radar is a problem. No, no. It’s not anybody’s telling you it’s a classified. Piece of information that is also gonna be a bogus argument because what is going along with that are these arguments as well, the Defense Department or Department of War says it’s gonna cause interference or, or some degradation of some sort of national defense. Then the words used after it have nothing to do with that. It is, the turbines are ugly, the turbines are too tall. It may interfere, interfere with the whales, it may interfere with fishing, and I don’t like it. Or a, a gas pipeline could produce more power than the turbines can. That that has nothing to do with the core argument. If the core argument is, is some sort of defense related. Security issue, then say it because it, it can’t be that complicated. Now, if you, if you knew anything about the defense department and how it operates, and also the defenses around the United States, of which I know a little bit about, [00:05:00] having been in aerospace for 30 freaking years, I can tell you that there are all kinds of ways to detect all kinds of threats that are approaching our shoreline. Putting a wind turbine out there is not Joel Saxum: gonna stop it. So the, at the end of the day, there is a bunch, there’s like, there’s single, I call them metric and intrinsic, right? Metric being like, I can put data to this. There’s a point here, there’s numbers, whatever it may be. And intrinsic being, I don’t like them, they don’t look that good. A pipeline can supply more energy. Those things are not necessarily set in stone. They’re not black and white. They’re, they’re getting this gray emotional area instead of practical. Right. So, okay. What, what’s the outcome here? You do this, you say that we have radar issues. Do we do, does, does the offshore substation have a radar station on it for the military or, or what does that, what does that look like? Allen Hall: Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t, but if the threat is what I think it is, none of this matters. None of this matters. It’s already been discussed a hundred times with the defense [00:06:00] department and everybody else is knowledgeable in this, in this space. There is no way that they started planted turbines and approve them two, three years ago. If it was a national security risk, there is no chance that that happened. So it really is frustrating when you, when you know some of the things that go on behind the scenes and you know what, the technical rationales could be about a problem. And that’s not what’s being talked about right now that I don’t like being lied to. Like, if you want to have a, a political argument, have a political argument, and the, if the political argument is America wants Greenland from Denmark, then just freaking say it. Just say it. Don’t tie Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, new J, all, all these states up until this nonsense, Virginia, what are we doing? What are we doing? Because all those states approved all those projects knowing full well what the costs were, knowing how tall the turbines were, knowing how long it was gonna take to get it done, and they all approved them. This [00:07:00] is not done in a vacuum. These states approve these projects and these states are going to buy that power. Let them, you wanna put in a a, a big gas pipeline. Great. How many years is that gonna take, Doug? How many years is that gonna take? Doug Bergham? Does anybody know? He, he doesn’t know anything about that. Joel Saxum: You’re not getting a gas pipeline into the east coast anytime soon whatsoever. Because the, the east, the east coast is a home of Nimbyism. Allen Hall: Sure, sir. Like Massachusetts. It’s pretty much prohibited new gas pipelines for a long time. Okay. That’s their choice. That is their choice. They made that choice. Let them live with it. Why are you then trying to, to double dip? I don’t get it. I don’t get it. And, but I do think, Joel, I think the reason. This is getting to the level it is. It has to do something to do with Greenland. It has something to do with the Danish, um, uh, ambassador or whoever it was running to talk to, to California and Newsom about offshore tournaments. Like that was not a smart move, my opinion, but [00:08:00] I don’t run international relations with for Denmark. But stop poking one another and somebody’s gotta cut this off. The, the thing I think that the Trump administration is at risk at is that. Or instead, Ecuador has plenty of cash. They’re gonna go to court, and they are most likely going to win, and they’re going to really handcuff the Trump administration to do anything because when you throw bull crap in front of a judge and they smell it, the the pushback gets really strong. Well, they’re gonna force all the discussion about anything to do with offshore to go through a judge, and they’re gonna decide, and I don’t think that’s what the Trump administration wants, but that’s where they’re headed. I’m not sure why Joel Saxum: you’d wanna do that. Like at the end of the day, that may be the solution that has to come, but I don’t think that that’s not the right path either. Right? Because a judge is not an SME. A judge doesn’t know all of the, does the, you know, like a, a judge is a judge based on laws. They don’t, they’re, they’re not an offshore wind energy expert, so they sh that’s hard for them to [00:09:00] decide on. However, that’s where it will go. But I think you’re correct. Like this, this is more, this is a larger play and, and this mor so this morning when this rolled out, my WhatsApp, uh, and text messages just blew up from all of my. Danish friends, what is going on over there? I’m like, I don’t know what you want me to say. I’m not in the hopeful office. I can’t tell you what’s going on. I’m not having coffee in DC right now. I said, you know, but going back to it, like you can see the frustration, like, what, why, why is this the thing? And I think you’re right though, Alan, it is a large, there’s a larger political play in, in movement here of this Greenland, Denmark, these kind of things. And it’s a, it’s. It’s sad to see it ’cause it just gets caught. We’re getting caught in the crossfire as a wind industry. Yeah. It’s Allen Hall: not helping anybody. And when you set precedents like this, the other side takes note, right? So Democrats, when they eventually get back into the White House again, which will happen at some point, are gonna swing the pendulum just as hard and harder. So what are you [00:10:00] doing? None of, none of this matters in, in my opinion, especially if you, if you read Twitter today, you’re like, what the hell? All the things that are happening right now. RFK Jr had a post a few hours ago talking about, oh, this is great. We’re gonna shut off this off shore wind thing because it kills the whales. Sorry, it doesn’t. Sorry. It doesn’t, if you want, if you wanna make an argument about it, you have to do better than that. A Twitter post doesn’t make it fact, and everybody who’s listened to this and paying attention, I don’t want you to do your own research, but just know that you got a couple of engineers here, that that’s what we do for a living. We source through information, making sure that it makes sense. Does it align? Is it right? Is it wrong? Is, is there something to back it up with? And the information that we have here says. It is. It’s not hurting anything out there. You may not like them, but you know what? You don’t want a coal factor in your backyard either. Delamination and bottomline failures and blades are difficult problems to detect [00:11:00] early. These hidden issues can cost you millions in repairs and lost energy production. C-I-C-N-D-T are specialists to detect these critical flaws before they become expensive burdens. Their non-destructive test technology penetrates deep to blade materials to find voids and cracks. Traditional inspections completely. Miss C-I-C-N-D-T Maps. Every critical defect delivers actionable reports and provides support to get your blades back in service. So visit cic ndt.com because catching blade problems early will save you millions. Joel Saxum: When it comes down to sorting through data, I think that’s a big problem. Right? And that’s what’s happening with a lot of the, I mean, generalizing, a lot of the things that are happening in the United States in the last 10 years give it. Um, but people just go, oh, this person said this. They must be an authority. Like, no, it’s not true. We’ve been following [00:12:00] a lot of these things with offshore wind. I mean, probably closer than most. Uh, besides the companies that are developing those wind farms, simply because it’s a part of our day job, it’s what we do. We’re, we’re, we’re looking at these things, right? So. Understanding the risks, uh, rewards, the political side of things. The commercial side. The technical side. That’s what we’re here to kind of feed, feed the information back to the masses. And a lot of this, or the majority of all of this is bs. It doesn’t really, it doesn’t, it doesn’t play. Um, and then you go a little bit deeper into things and. Like the, was it the new Bedford Light, Alan, that said like, now they’re seeing that the turbines have actually been turned off, not just to stop work for construction. They’ve turned the turbines off up in Massachusetts or up off of in the northeast area? No, that they have. Allen Hall: And why? I mean, the error on the side of caution, I think if you’re an attorney for any of the wind operations, they’re gonna tell you to shut it off for a couple of days and see what we can figure out. But the, the timing of the [00:13:00] shutdown I think is a little unique in that the US is pretty much closed at this point. You’re not gonna see anything start back up for another couple of weeks, although they were doing work on the water. So you can impose a couple hundred million. Do, well, not a hundred million dollars, but maybe a couple million dollars of, of overhead costs in some of these projects because you can’t respond quick enough. You gotta find a judge willing to put a stay in to hold things the same and, and hold off this, uh, this, uh, b order, but. To me, you know, it’s one of those things when you deal with the federal government, you think the federal government is erratic in just this one area? No, it’s erratic in a lot of areas. And the frustration comes with do you want America to be stronger or do you want nonsense to go on? You know? And if I thought, if that thought wind turbines were killing whales, I’d be the first one up to screaming. If I thought offshore wind was not gonna work out in term, in some long-term model, I would be the first one screaming about it. That’s not Joel Saxum: reality. [00:14:00] Caveat that though you said, you’re saying if I thought, I think the, the real word should be if I did the research, the math and understood that this is the way it was gonna be. Right? Because that’s, that’s what you need to do. And that’s what we’ve been doing, is looking at it and the, the, all the data points to we’re good here. If someone wanted to do harm Allen Hall: to the United States, and God forbid if that was ever the case. That wouldn’t be the way to do it. Okay. And we, and we’ve seen that through history, right. So it, it’s, it doesn’t even make any sense. The problem is, is that they can shield a judge from looking at it somewhat. If they classify well, the judge isn’t able to see what this classified information is. In today’s world, AI and everything on the internet, you don’t think somebody knows something about this? I do. And to think that you couldn’t make any sort of software patch to. Fix whatever 1965 radar system they have sitting on the shorelines of Massachusetts. They could, in today’s world, you can do that. So this whole thing, it [00:15:00] just sounds like a smoke screen and when you start poking around it, no one has an answer. That is the frustrating bit. If you’re gonna be seeing stuff, you better have backup data. But the Joel Saxum: crazy thing here, like look at the, the, the non wind side of this argument, like you’re hurting job growth. Everybody that goes into a, uh. Into office. One of the biggest things they run on all the time, it doesn’t matter, matter where you are in the world, is I’m gonna bring jobs and prosperity to the people. Okay. How many jobs have just been stopped? How many people have just been sent home? How much money’s being lost here? And who’s one of the biggest companies installing these turbines in the states? Fricking ge like so. You’re, you’re hurting your own local people. And not only is this, you stand there and say, we’re doing all this stuff. We’re getting all this wind energy. We’re gonna do all these things and we’re gonna win the AI race. To the point where you’ve passed legislation or you’ve written, uh, uh, executive order that says, Hey, individual states, if you pass legislation [00:16:00] that slows or halts AI development in your state, the federal government can sue you. But you’re doing the same thing. You’re halting and slowing down the ability for AI and data centers to power themselves at unprecedented growth. We’re at here, 2, 3, 4, 5% depending on what, what iso you ask of, of electron need, and we’re the fastest way you could put electrons to the grid. Right now in the United States, it’s. Either one of those offshore wind farms is being built today, or one of the other offs, onshore wind farms or onshore solar facilities that are being built right now today. Those are the fastest ways to help the United States win the AI race, which is something that Trump has loud, left and right and center, but you’re actively like just hitting people in the shins with a baseball bat to to slow down. Energy growth. I, I just, it, it doesn’t make any logical sense. Allen Hall: And Rosemary just chime in here. We’ve had enough from the Americans complaining about it. Rosemary Barnes: Yeah. I mean, it’s hard for me to comment in too much detail about all of the [00:17:00] American security stuff. I mean, defense isn’t, isn’t one of my special interests and especially not American defense, but. When I talk about this issue with other Australians, it’s just sovereign risk is the, the issue. I mean, it was, it’s similar with the tariffs. It’s just like how, and it’s not just for like foreign companies that might want to invest in America. American companies are affected just, uh, as equally, but like you might be anti wind and fine. Um, but I don’t know how any. Company of any technology can have confidence to embark on a multi-year, um, project. Now, because you don’t know, like this government hates wind energy, but the next one could hate ai or the next one could hate solar panels, electric cars, or you know, just, just anything. And so like you just can’t. You just can’t trust, um, that your plans are gonna be able to be fulfilled even if you’ve got contracts, even if you’ve got [00:18:00] approvals, even if you are most of the way through building something, it’s not enough to feel safe anymore. And it’s just absolutely wild. That’s, and yeah, I was actually discussing with someone yesterday. How, and bearing in mind I don’t really understand American politics that deeply, but I’m gonna assume that Republicans are generally associated with being business friendly. So there must be so many long-term Republican donors who have businesses that have been harmed by all of these kinds of changes. And I just don’t understand how everyone is still behind this type of behavior. That’s what, that’s what I struggle to understand. Joel Saxum: This is the problem at the higher levels in. In DC their businesses are, are oil and gas based though. That’s the thing, the high, the high power conservative party side of things in the United States politics. The, the lobby money and the real money and the like, like think like the Dick Cheney era. Right. That was all Weatherford, right? It’s all oil and gas. Rosemary Barnes: So it’s not like anybody [00:19:00] cares about the, you know, I don’t know, like there’d be steel fabricators who have been massively affected by this. Right? Like that’s a good, a good traditional American business. Right. But are you saying it’s not big enough business that anyone would care that, that they’ve been screwed over? Joel Saxum: Not anymore Allen Hall: because all that’s being outsourced. The, the other argument, which Rosemary you touched upon is, is the one I’m seeing more recently on all kinds of social medias. It’s a bunch of foreign companies putting in these wind turbines. Well, who the hell Joel Saxum: is drilling your oil baby? This is something that I’ve always said. When you go go to Houston, Texas, the energy capital of the world, every one of those big companies, none of ’em are run by a Texan. They are all run by someone from overseas. Every one of ’em. Allen Hall: You, you think that, uh, you know, the Saudis are all, you know, great moral people. What the hell are you talking about? Are you starting to compare countries now? Because you really don’t wanna do that. If you wanna do that into the traditional energy marketplace, you’re, you’re gonna have [00:20:00] a lot of problems sleeping at night. You will, I would much rather trust a dane to put in a wind turbine or a German to put in a wind turbine than some of the people that are in, involved in oil and gas. Straight up. Straight up. Right. And we’ve known that for years. And we, we, we just play along, look. The fact of the matter is if you want to have electrons delivered quickly to the United States, you’re gonna have to do something, and that will be wind and solar because it is the fastest, cheapest way to get this stuff done. If you wanna try to plant some sort of gas pipeline from Louisiana up to Massachusetts or whatever the hell you wanna do, good luck. You know how many years you’re talking about here. In the meantime, all those people you, you think you care about are gonna be sitting there. With really high electricity rates and gas, gas, uh, rates, it’s just not gonna end well.

And OEM relations. Walk away with practical strategies to cut costs and boost uptime that you can use the moment you’re back on site. Register now at W OM a 2020 six.com. Wind Energy o and m Australia is created by wind professionals for wind professionals because this industry needs solutions. Not speeches if Allen Hall: you don’t have enough on your plate already. Uh, the FCC has panned the import and sale of all new drone models from Chinese manufacturers, including the most popular of all in America, DJI, uh, and they clo. They currently hold about 70% of the global marketplace, the ban as DGI and Autel Robotics to the quote unquote covered list of entities deemed [00:22:00] a national security risk. Now here’s the catch. Existing models that are already approved for sale can still be purchased. So you can walk down to your local, uh, drone store and buy A DJI drone. And the ones you already own are totally fine, but the next generation. Not happening. They’re not gonna let ’em into the United States. So the wind industry heavily relies on drones. And, and Joel, you and I have seen a number of DJI, sort of handheld drones that are used on sites as sort of a quick check of the health of a, or status of a blade. Uh, you, you, I guess you will still be able to do that if you have an older dj. I. But if you try to buy a new one, good luck. Not gonna happen. Joel Saxum: Yeah. I think the most popular drone right now in the field, of course two of ’em, I would, I would say this, it’s like the Mavic type, you know, the little tiny one that like a site supervisor or a technician may have, they have their part 1 0 7 license. They can fly up and look at stuff. Uh, and then the [00:23:00] other one is gonna be the more industrial side. That’s gonna be the DJ IM 300. And that’s the one where a lot of these platforms, the perceptual robotics and some of the others have. That’s their base because the M 300 has, if you’re not in the, the development world, it has what’s called a pretty accessible SDK, which software development kit. So they’re designed to be able to add your sensors, put your software, and they’re fly ’em the way you want to. So they’re kind of like purpose built to be industrial drones. So if you have an M 300 or you’re using them now, what this I understand is you’re gonna still be able to do that, but when it comes time for next gen stuff, you’re not gonna be able to go buy the M 400. And import that. Like once it’s you’re here, you’re done. So I guess the way I would look at it is if I was an operator and that was part of our mo, or I was using a drone inspection provider, that that’s what comes on site. I would give people a plan. I would say basic to hedge your risk. I would say [00:24:00]basically like, Hey, if you’re my drone operator and I’m giving you a year to find a new solution. Um, that integrates into your workflows to get this thing outta here simply because I can’t be at risk that one day you show up, this thing crashes and I can’t get another one. A lot of companies are already like, they’re set and ready to go. Like all the new Skys specs, the Skys specs, foresight, drone, it’s all compliant, right? It’s USA made USA approved. Good to go. I think the new Arons drone is USA compliant. Good to go. Like, no, no issues there. So. Um, I think that some of the major players in the inspection world have already made their moves, um, to be able to be good USA compliant. Um, so just make sure you ask. I guess that’s, that. Our advice to operators here. Make sure you ask, make sure you’re on top of this one so you just don’t get caught with your pants down. Allen Hall: Yeah, I know there’s a lot of little drones in the back of pickup trucks around wind farms and you probably ought to check, talk to the guys about what’s going on to make sure that they’re all compliant. [00:25:00] In this quarter’s, PES Win magazine, which you can download for free@pswin.com. There is an article by Fran Hoffer, and they’re in Germany. If you don’t know who Fran Hoffer is, they’re sort of a research institution that is heavily involved in wind and fixing some of the problems, tackling some of the more complex, uh, issues that exist in blade repair. Turbine Repair Turbine Lifetime. And the article has a number of the highlights that they’ve been working on for the last several years, and you should really check this out, but looking at the accomplishments, Joel, it’s like, wow, fraud offer has been doing a lot behind the scenes and some of these technologies are, are really gonna be helpful in the near future. Joel Saxum: Yeah. Think of Frown Hoffer of your our US com compadres listening. Think of frown Hoffer as and NRE L, but. Not as connected to the federal government. Right. So, but, but more connected to [00:26:00] industry, I would say. So they’re solving industry problems directly. Right. Some of the people that they get funding research from is the OEMs, it’s other trade organizations within the group. They’re also going, they’re getting some support from the German federal government and the state governments. But also competitive research grants, so some EU DPR type stuff, um, and then some funding from private foundations and donors. But when you look at Frow, offerer, it’s a different project every time you talk to ’em. But, and what I like to see is the fact that these projects that they’re doing. Are actually solving real world problems. I, I, I, Alan and I talk about this regularly on the podcast is we have an issue with government funding or supportive funding or even grant funding or competitive funding going to in universities, institutions, well, whoever it may be, to develop stuff that’s either like already developed, doesn’t really have a commercial use, like, doesn’t forward the industry. But Frow Hoffer’s projects are right. So like one of the, they, they have [00:27:00] like the large bearing laboratory, so they’re test, they’ve tested over 500 pitch bearings over in Hamburg. They’re developing a handheld cure monitoring device that can basically tell you when resin has cured it, send you an email like you said, Alan, in case you’re like taking a nap on the ropes or something. Um, but you know, and they’re working on problems that are plaguing the industry, like, uh, up working on up towel repairs for carbon fiber, spar caps. Huge issue in the industry. Wildly expensive issue. Normally RA blade’s being taken down to the ground to fix these now. So they’re working on some UPT tile repairs for that. So they’re doing stuff that really is forwarding the industry and I love to see that. Allen Hall: Yeah. It’s one of the resources that. We in the United States don’t really take advantage of all the time. And yeah, and there’s a lot of the issues that we see around the world that if you were able to call f Hoffer, you should think about calling them, uh, and get their opinion on it. They probably have a solution or have heard of the problem before and can direct you to, uh, uh, a reasonable outcome. [00:28:00] That’s what these organizations are for. There’s a couple of ’em around the world. DTU being another one, frow Hoffer, obviously, uh, being another powerhouse there. That’s how the industry moves forward. It, it doesn’t move forward when all of us are struggling to get through these things. We need to have a couple of focal points in the industry that can spend some research time on problems that matter. And, and Joel, I, I think that’s really the key here. Like you mentioned it, just focusing on problems that we are having today and get through them so we can make the industry. Just a little bit better. So you should check out PES WIN Magazine.

So strong that no matter what you are doing or not doing that, no matter what your kids are up to or not up to, and that whether you've got the person of your dreams or they're just not cooperating, that you are happy content and at peace, a space where everyone else's thoughts, attitudes, and actions are beautiful and exactly as they are supposed to be. Well, this is the space where I like to play. My name is Misha Z, and this is today's. Slap. Join me as I shed light on the thoughts, actions, and attitudes that are causing you pain. And we train our minds to go to the capital S inner self, the joy that is waiting for us, the God with him.Mischa Z: 00:53 I am going to talk about covert anger today. Covert, anger, and how I needed to, uh, have, uh, have awareness that I did indeed have some, perhaps what we would call subversive or covert anger issues. That's what, that's what we're going to talk about today. Um, when I, uh, was, so this morning, I, you know, did my meditation. Man, I slept not so well last night, it was interesting. Um, very tossing and turny. Very, very, um, very inter intermittent. Ooh, I think I'm coming across someone. I know Tony. What's the apps, man. Good, good to see how fun is that? Just got to say hi to Tony. Where was I? Oh yeah, fitful night's sleep.Mischa Z: 02:10 And I think what's interesting about a fitful night's sleep is as I'm having fitful sleep in that moment, I can be very concerned about what is the day going to be looked, going to look like as a result of my fitful nights, sleep? You know what I mean? Does anybody else had that before? So you're in the midst of your fitful night's sleep and the mind starts projecting. Maybe we could call it, the ego starts projecting. Oh no, what's my day going to be like, I'm going to be tired. How am I going to show up for people? Um, am I going to be, am I going to be exhausted in all my activities?Mischa Z: 03:07 What else could we say? Um, you get what I'm talking about? It could be anything, or, gosh, am I going to be fitful all night? Am I ever going to fall asleep? And the mind just starts rolling. And I guess the point of this little diversion is that, you know, I had my fitful night's sleep. I woke up, I was actually felt more refreshed than I thought it was going to. So that was a surprise. So all that projecting about I'm going to be exhausted and not be able to get anything done or whatever worries were happening in the fitful moment.Mischa Z: 03:48 And I headed off to do my meditation, my hour meditation. I do my hour meditation and it's a fun one. Actually, it was pretty good. You know, it's focusing on what, you know, the thoughts would run and then come back to breath and I do a meditation on a four count, oftentimes. So that's what I was doing this morning. And when I see a four count, each out-breath is a countdown from four. I need to figure out a better way to say this, how that works. But so, you know, in breath through the nose; out breath through the nose. Mentally say Four. Next breath in out breath say three. Next breath in and out breath two. And you're saying this to yourself, obviously in your mind. In breath out breath, one. In breath, repeat from four on down. And whenever the, so what happens is you doing the four count? Inevitably the mind will start thinking about things.Mischa Z: 05:07 And the awareness that I'm thinking about other things becomes evident is that a double, a double positive, the awareness becomes evident. That is funny. Anyway, the awareness that I'm thinking about other things becomes evident. So you come back to the four count and it's a very smooth, aware process. Lots of fun insights are flying around back to the breath. It's funny too, in some of those moments, I can have fear like, oh no, if I go back to the breath, the insights will go away. So I was definitely playing with that thought. And um, so I come out of the meditation. So the meditation is great, good hour meditation. And after the meditation, I was, I would say, surprisingly vibrant and vital. Full of vitality. I dunno if that's the right word, but it was refreshed. Shall we say? Yeah, it was refreshed. That's a great way to say it. So all my worries of I'm going to be tired all day... That may still be yet to come by the way, I might need an app or a new meditation session to find that refreshed attitude.Mischa Z: 06:50 Um, and so I went into A Course In Miracles and, you know, I had a powerful couple of days. So A Course In Miracles, I'm reading, this is funny. I'm trying recording on a new platform and I lose track of, it's hard for me to find the time. So come out of the meditation, do my A Course In Miracles. And I'm just super, I was so calm and centered and connected. I think that that's a great word to say. I was connected. Like I have was just at peace in the moment, savoring my cup of coffee. Um, very, I hadn't perhaps I'd say spaced out is the right word. I would start my reading the A Course In Miracles. And then the next thing you know, it took me to some starts is what I'm trying to say until I was able to focus on it. The A Course In Miracles, section of a manual for teachers, uh, section three, I think it was, I can't remember what the name was, but again, I was not hard on myself for not focusing, right.Mischa Z: 08:31 It can be frustrated and I'm not focusing. I have to start again or read that paragraph for the sixth time or that sentence for the seventh time. And that was very much, it's all good. It's all good. I was not tripping at all and having awareness that I was not tripping. So that, that there was very much the feeling this morning in the meditation and coming out in the meditation of the gift of the aware, observing the observer. Is that a way to say it? Uh, um, yes. So my mind was drifting it's it's one of those days. Thanks for hanging in there. If you've made it this far, really the whole point of telling you all about the meditation and such was to say, one of the thoughts that popped up is I was reading A Course In Miracles and I jotted it down was covert anger. I was very memories of my covert anger, um, issues. Had calm, subversive as well. They were so subversive to me and that I was able to definitely justify them. And so my rationalization was subverting my relationship, my happy relationships, how's that? Oh my gosh, Russell Brunson. If you're listening to this, you will not be happy. I'm not using fifth grader, lower words.Mischa Z: 10:23 Oh my gosh. So many thoughts, streams piling through the brain. But so, uh, I'll, I'll close that loop, uh, Russell Brunson and many others, uh, you know, they say, Hey, when you're talking to the public, oftentimes a very effective way to get your point across is take, keep it simple. Like keep, you know, you don't need to use big words like that can actually distract from your message. And I think about that a lot. Cause I, I love big words. I love looking them up in the dictionary when I come across them. It's fun to, to sometimes, you know, look up words and then see them see that word materialize in your, or in my, um, conversations are writing at a later date. And as a matter of fact, to continue on that loop, um, there's a thing called Hemingway Hemingway app or hemingway.com, Hemingway editor or Hemingway app.Mischa Z: 11:35 I think it's Hemingway editor.com (it's actually hemingwayeditor.com). I'll put the link, check the link in the show notes. Um, and by the way, does anyone else do this? Does anyone else like throw in the big words, thinking that will make you more effective? I know I do. So if you do, Hey, welcome to the tape. So Hemingway editor, I think that's what it's called. Hemingway editor.com. You can again, check the show, the links in the show enough, you can, you can put in your sentence and it will tell you what grade level you're speaking at and are the sentences too complex are like run-ons or things like that. Or, um, you know, are you using it'll, it'll tell you words that are like, uh, I'm trying to think of the word. Um, well it'll give you recommendations for like past tense, present tense or things like that, or it'll say, Hey, you can actually just omit this word. Fricking love that I've gotten in the habit of going to Hemingway editor.com and, and putting in, uh, sentences things that I'm writing and really using it as a tool to, to be more concise in my thoughts, in my writing and, um, fix run-on sentences and all sorts of stuff.Mischa Z: 13:18 And it's really fun to use it and then send it out, send out whatever I'm sending out email or, or show notes or something like that. And then read it at a later date and be like, oh yeah, that is much easier to read than my normal writing. Anyhow, the meditation subversive, anger, covert, anger, and the issues that it caused me. And when I had awareness of it and the steps that I took to break free of it, that's what I was was, and am going to discuss. Let's do that for covert anger part two. Okay.Speaker 1: 14:07 Thank you.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

 Good day sirs and non sirs and connoisseurs. Welcome to Shrink the State, where the discourse is subtle, yet profound. Today we will elaborate on the current state of that most dastardly and vile of viruses, the sinister COVID 19. We also entertain and debate topics ranging from law to currency, and delicately deliberate on technocracy with the elegant and poignant finesse to be expected of us. We top it off with a crisp, clear and most importantly courteous adieu.  The following is for our more refined audience and not for the more...shall we say...common fellow. Es stultior asino. Es scortum obscenus vilis. Te futueo et caballum tuum. Es stercus! Potes meos suaviari clunes, Moecha Putida. Perite. Vacca stulta, fututus et mori in igni. Mater tua tam obesa est ut cum Romae est urbs habet octo colles! Amoris sumus periti Leges noscis necnon ego Devotionem plenam intendo Hanc non habebis ex ullo alio Communicare volo tibi quod sentio Intelligendum tibi est  Tete numquam relinquam tete numquam deseram tibi ero desultor non numquam Faciam non flere te Nec dicam valere mendax vulnerabo non numquam Te cognovi tam diu Cor tuum dolet, at timidior quin dicas Intus nos ambo scimus quid fiat Ludum callemus et nos ludemus Et si rogas me quomodo sentiam Ne dicas te tam caecam esse Tete numquam relinquam tete numquam deseram tibi ero desultor non numquam Faciam non flere te Nec dicam valere mendax vulnerabo non numquam Deseram deseram non numquam Deseram deseram non numquam Te cognovi tam diu Cor tuum dolet, at timidior quin dicas Intus nos ambo scimus quid fiat Ludum callemus et nos ludemus Communicare volo tibi quod sentio Intelligendum tibi est   Merci Gentlemen.

This is a part 2. Why two parts, you may ask? Is the episode so bursting with juicy content that we had to split it? Uh...yes. For sure. It has nothing at all to do with incompetence. And it certainly was not Justin's fault. To be very clear, Justin is not an idiot. He is not a complete reet. He's not a dumb-@SS, cortex-deficient, j*zz-brained, IQ-challenged, instructions-on-shampoo-reading, white trash, b*stard-born, frickn c*nty c*nt, son-of-a-motherless-fatherless-slutty-ectoplasmic- protoplasm of a lying dog-faced pony-soldier who's the singular reason God abandoned us. Just in case you were about to accuse him of all that, I can say that's definitely not completely 100% absolutely without a doubt true. Not at all.  And in case you'r confused right now, what i'm saying is Justin is basically perfect. Not to start rumors, but have you even seen him and Jesus in the same room together? Since i'm an atheist, this means I don't believe in Justin. Do you have proof Justin exists? You do? Will this means I must be condescending to you and claim your an ignorant backwards gay-hating, puppy-hating, gay-puppy-hating, vile mustache- twisting villain that wants to stop all fun from existing. That's what my Bible the Origin of the Species says to do in Hail Satan. Chapter 1, Verse 19.

The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner.

Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community. In December 2019, she opened The Hippie Haven in Rapid City, South Dakota - a zero waste retail store & community space with a little free library - the first of its kind in the state.

Thanks for hanging out with us. This is episode three 20 of the it in the D show. Guests this week include a hundred episodes away from four 20 Oh I don’t know where that came from. Sorry. Guest this week include Maria Graham, Pat Sullivan, and from our friends at NuSpirea this security awareness month or we’re talking about programs, how to keep yourself secure a bunch and a bunch of news hacks that are coming out and different and how this company is absolutely blowing up lately and it’s been fun to watch. Cool. And then we’ve got a whole bunch of stuff going on in South Park’s killing it again. Bunch of hacks. Star Wars tickets are on sale that I already bought them. Davie may fire when ready. What is up? Thanks for hanging out with us once again and click and play. This is the it and the show. Speaker:              We made it all the way up to episode 320 broadcast and live here in studio one in podcast E Triton. Beautiful Royal Oak, Michigan. This is Bob, the sales guy. That is Dave the geek. Randy. I do the Twitters is doing the Twitters, find this online and it in the d.com. Do us a favor, give us a like on the socials and subscribe to us everywhere. Fine podcasts are sold. All right, so what do we got? We got hold on. Heads off to uh, the staff and Augie and everybody over whiskey in a jar. Dave, you use into that? Yeah, no, I’m just getting ready to talk event. This was an event post event. Then you could do new events. Um, but no, uh, every, you know I had worries about parking. I was going to jar obviously already figured it out cause it was, it was packed. Speaker:              There was some regulars there, but that was good too. But yeah, it was packed and everybody said, thanks for having it out here. I appreciate it. And the over under was nine and we had, we beat that at five 25. Yeah, fine. No, it was great. I mean like it’d be in wrong. No. And whiskey in the jar was like, that’s one of those places where like I said, it’s what we used to do. Like, it’s, you know, bring people to like, kind of a little out of the way off the beaten path places. Um, and, and I, if I heard it once, I heard it a dozen times. Oh dude, I, I’ve heard about this place. I keep meaning to get here. Awesome. It’s one of my favorite bars in town. Yeah, no doubt. Yeah. But yeah, thanks to the staff that, you know, Mikey and, uh, AKI just hung out for a little bit, but yeah, Mikey, Mikey outdid himself. Speaker:              Great bar time. It was great. Uh, but so next coming up, we’ve got Ann Arbor on the fifth, I believe. Yeah. We’ll be at haymaker public house. Cool. Right on Washington. Make sure you vote before you come to the meetup. That is a trait that at that day, election day, man, uh, and then the 21st we’ll be back at Umbro sweet downstairs. That pizza in eyeball pinned video games and electronic jukebox. Yeah. So, Hey, um, you know, we, Dave and I talk about all the time how we a email spreadsheets. We still haven’t figured this thing out, but I think we finally did. Um, we, we don’t know. We’re, we’re on all these different platforms. We, we, we don’t automate anything. Email for those docs for that sheets for that, but box for this, right? Yeah. Yeah. You did. I send you the Dropbox link. New, but Hey, growing up business is super hard, especially when you’re wasting hours moving data from emails to spreadsheets and CRM or wherever. Speaker:              That stuff should just, shouldn’t that stuff just happen or that you’re lifting a finger? Our friends at Zapier can help. It is the easiest way to automate work that connects all of your business software and handles work for you. So you can focus on things that matter most. No more wasting time on tasks you know, could be automated because that’s what they were built to do. If you don’t know what they are, checked them out. They’re literally, they strip the APIs out of literally every app you use. Got them to talk. So things like a sales automation, if somebody comes in, bring, comes in from your website, fills out a contact form, it goes right into CRM, triggers all these different alerts. When someone buys something from an eCommerce site, it’ll trigger a financing, shipping it. It’s insane. Doesn’t come with trigger warnings. It does not. Speaker:              Um, but Hey, do us a favor. Go, uh, go to our special link, zapier.com/it in the D a that’s Z a P I E r.com/it and the D. and you know what I just said is scratching the surface. They support more than 1500 business applications. So the possibilities are literally endless. Best of all, it’s easy to build the exact solution you need in minutes. No code, no asking a developer. 4.5 million people are saving an average of 40 hours per month by using Zapier right now through November. Tries Zapier for free by going to zapier.com/it entity. That’s Z a P I E r.com/it and the D for your free 14 day trial. You know, I keep meaning to ask cause it’s spelled like the sword. Is it Zapier or Zapier? Zapier, like happier. Okay. I just, I, every time I see it I’m like, is it okay? Speaker:              Zappia web 2.0 spelling. Right. So there’s a silent K in a Schwab and lot and yes. Um, but you know what, you know what our events though, it’s amazing. A meetup comes out and says they’re gonna charge $2 per 10 day and the, the mad coders at Microsoft, I mean LinkedIn, uh, went to work and now LinkedIn events is back. Yeah. And they announced it like they’d never had it before, which was the part that made me laugh like you clowns, like we were using you exclusive until you just dropped it for no reason. And then we had to go to meetup. Right. That was the only available option because we have 8,000 members on LinkedIn and like what a thousand on meet? I lost half of our traction. Yup. Well, well eighth whatever, 87.5%. Thanks. Sales guy. Yeah, I wasn’t going to do 12 and a half percent. Speaker:              Yeah, exactly. Do the math. But you know, we lost literally. Yeah. It was my understanding there would be no math. I did it for, you know, if you want to be 87.5% of our, we lost, you know, and who knows who, you know. Yeah. And it’s, and that’s not guaranteeing that, you know, it’s crossover that could have been new people that we picked up that aren’t on LinkedIn. And yeah. I mean, cause we did, we use LinkedIn events for fricking everything. Um, and I played around this feature maybe cause I’m not a group owner, but I couldn’t have see you in a way to associated with a group. Can, can group owners create it on the vent was never associated with the group. Like, so it was always you just created an event. Yes. You just created an event and off you went. Um, it would be better if they could do that, but yeah. Speaker:              By the way, I’m, I am going to come from the South park. I was giggling all day, last couple of days or after I’ll do it. It was amazing. So killing it, they’re not just killing it. They’re gonna make about what, half a billion dollars on the new streaming deal. Cause they’re shopping, they’re shopping themselves around, which probably won’t be picked up in China anytime soon. But member member member when South park central.com had all the episodes for free. I ma I remember now. Yeah. Now someone’s listing anymore. No, no, no. It’s been awhile. I think it’s like a clip and then you’ve got to go to a Hulu or whatever. But if you didn’t see this week, I’m totally going to spoil alert for you. Um, basically they’re trashing on the impossible burger from burger King, which is so good given that we just had all the hatch Detroit and the beacon folks got my favorite part. Speaker:              My favorite part of rainy goes to burger King and he goes, it’s impossible burger. No takes a bite. Goes tastes like shit. And like 10 burger King guys. I can tell it. Nobody seems to mind. So the whole Oh no, no, no. So no. So that like that was when Randy started making them. Um, cause that was right in the beginning when he went to burger King. Then he made it, decided to make them afterwards. Right. And started making them with all of the leftover weeds and all that other kind of stuff. And so yeah, there was like, he’s like, Oh God, Steve’s like shit. Takes another bite. Speaker:              Not that bad. Best part is the teas wearing the tee shirt, like to promote it’s Tegrity burgers. It starts this thing and it’s a Tegrity burger and it’s tastes like shit cause you won’t care cause you’re going to be high. You could buy them on Etsy, which is great. Like the shirts to the burger. I wish you could buy the burgers. Oh my God. Like, so then the, the, the impossible people are like being incredible people in South park. Yeah. So like he’s like, I’m a goo man. I sell, I so go, Oh yeah. I tried to play the whole, uh, like I couldn’t figure out if they were going for Stephen King character. Uh, but yeah, I’m a goon man and all I do is so goo goo that can be made in the hamburgers, patties, anything. You want it, they do it every week anyway. Speaker:              If you’re not watching it, you’ve got to catch up. It’s only been like, what, three or four episodes? Three or four episodes. It’s been pretty awesome. But, um, what’s, so when all this madness came out with Cinemax, with Comcast, I went, you know, when we had Comcast in here and I’m like, you’ve got to fix my crap. This is stupid. Yep. So I got my Cinemax. Uh, but guess what? Then all of a sudden start didn’t work. And I go, they, they moved they bars, they moved one in the other. But you’re telling me they dropped stars altogether. They are dropping stars. There was a big to do about it because I guess the new episode of Outlander, something was supposed to premiere last night. Um, and there was a big deal, there was a whole kerfluffle about it. Power. I think there’s another other one. Speaker:              Apparently 50 cent was, was raving about power and it was, it was the post about that that cause people were mocking 50 cent about it at, that’s what brought it to my attention cause well who doesn’t love to mock 50 cent? Ah, yeah, I know. Uh, but yeah, so yeah, now they’ve, now they’ve dropped stars and that’s a thing. And dude, like again, is it final or are they still negotiating? Uh, apparently the deal fell through and so I guess, I think it’s in the stars by the way. Lion’s gate. The movie production company. So they’re not part of the whole conglomerate. Apparently they are not part of the, yeah, apparently they are not part of the whole food chain yet. Um, and so, I mean, I guess good for them. Uh, but I mean, right. Not good for them. How many subscribers they lose? Well, what are they going, what are they going to come out with the stars app now? Speaker:              Cause I mean, let’s be honest, would any of us watch anything on stars? No. It’s not just in the lineup. Robocop. I mean, okay, I’ll watch it again, but I’m not going to seek it. No. And then, you know, yeah, right. If it’s on as I’m flipping through the channel guide. Yeah. Well, one of the dumbest ones now is AMC. The theaters are coming out with their own streaming app now. I was actually just noticing that as I was purchasing the tickets for the 19th yeah. Yeah. So you could actually buy [inaudible] you can buy like through Comcast on demand, you can get movies that are still in the theaters. Um, but you can’t watch like the blockbuster was still like a week or two after. Yeah. Well and I’m sure this is going to be the same way or unless they’re coming up with a different digital distribution deal. Speaker:              Who knows and it’s 20 but 1999 a month for this. Come on. Hey, you know what you give me and give me access to first run stuff that I can no, because those are supposed to be priced at like 50 bucks back when they were talking about the discount combination. If you’re also an AMC, a list gets called star a list. Yeah. You just don’t get free Slurpees Randy. Yeah, I know. But dude, I mean how many times did we had just got dude star Wars. This will be the second time this year that I will have been inside a movie theater. And the first time was cause I got talked into taking my kids to something and I, I don’t like movie theaters are more to the point. I don’t like people in movie theaters. So you give me access to something that will let me watch first run movies sitting in my living room I’m in now. The last one is the a imagine in Rochester because the seats are as big as my couch at home with the recliner that now that’s the experience dude. Look it. Yeah. Looking at like looking at the, um, the, the seats as you were picking them. It’s like two seats in an aisle, two seats in an aisle or did we see Susan solo or we all crammed together and it sucked. And that’s why you’re not allowed to buy tickets anymore. Speaker:              It was die by, I bought IMAX. So number one, you bought three D and all. I did not ask you did they were 3d a that for solo. Oh wait, no, that was for a, I think that was for solo. I bought the bouncy seats with my kids. That’s so, yeah. Oh, the D box. Yes. It was like awful. No. So I, yeah, I don’t know. But yeah. So now we’re, we’re going to be there on the 19th good times, which, which I think is actually, well no, cause we pull our event up early that month so that, that would be the event night. But no, it’s not going to be. Um, so the things I loved, um, I loved, uh, the internet archive. This is one of the stories we didn’t get to last week. So if you ever haven’t heard this yet, this is very, very cool. Uh, they released a 2,500 old ms dos games that you can play online, uh, which is just, it matters to probably nobody other than Bob and I, but there’s just so much old cool content that I remember growing up with and the fun someone remake or give me the emulator for leisure. Speaker:              So one layer, we’ve talked this, we can play it now like me. I’m sure it’s online somewhere. Somebody who has had that. Um, we talked about that the last [inaudible] no, no, no, no, no. We talked about that the last time cause somebody was talking about doing a reboot of it. Um, I can’t remember. I want to say it’s an independent publisher. This weird thing about that game as like it had this folklore that it was like it was dirty and it wasn’t, but you never really got to see anything. No. But you were all like playing his game. Hopefully that you’ll see like a Buba. Yeah. No, not just, not even about eight bit boobs. Yeah. There’s like four brick, like four light bricks in a dark pixels in it. Yeah. Speaker:              I still want to play it cause it was fun as hell. It was, it was, Oh hold on, hold on. Is it SpaghettiOs and in a Johnny Sacco dude, it could be. I mean it’s, you know, you gotta be careful what you wish for. I mean, you know, how many times have we had the, did it hold up conversation like it’s, it, it might, it might be pure nostalgia and it might be better, but I, I’m, I’m sure somebody has it out there somewhere else. You know, like games that held up like 1942 held a love Alica held out. Love it. Right? There’s, there’s like some of those, like even like plain old asteroids like to me holds up. Oh, I, I still play that all day. Do the centipede all day. Right. Those things are timeless. I’ll never, you know, um, but some of them are bad, some are just utter pieces of toilet. Speaker:              Oh yeah. And I like, I can’t, although I’m telling ya, uh, that stupid arcade game, uh, that I bought, uh, for, you know, uh, the brewery back in, um, is in my basement. I do to, I will sit there and play Kung Fu master for hours and just be perfectly happy. Um, so we love talking about we work, so we must continue to talk about we work because the chaos and mayhem continues and we stop. Nope. Not until they die. Um, so not only, yeah, yeah, exactly. Which, speaking of dying, uh, so apparently they have now issued a warning, uh, to all of their members because they have 2300, 500, 2300 phone booths that apparently have exceedingly high levels of formaldehyde and other known carcinogens. How does that happen? Um, I, let’s see, I maybe something to do with the fact that their largest, uh, investor is, uh, owns Asian manufacturing companies. Speaker:              Uh, and, and we’re probably having them done, they’re just saying yes. Well, I did read a rumor that SoftBank is taking them over there like, and you’re out. Yeah, they did it. Kenny powers on him. You’re effing out. I’m FNN get the F out of my chair. Well, they’ve put what, 12 into it so far? I don’t know the exact number, but I’d say because they’d put round a funding round, a funding round of funding to bail them out when the IPO failed and they weren’t gonna make payroll and they weren’t gonna like they had like a month and a half of operating capital. Um, I’d say they own them right about now. So I, I would say, I mean, granted it’s not like SoftBank’s doing all that great with Uber either. But today SoftBank offered $10 billion as part of a takeover plan. Wow. Wow. Speaker:              How, how is it still worth that much? So yeah, to me that’s an ego play. Like that’s, that’s that, that’s that guy not wanting to lose their investment. He was going to say that they’re, they’re buying stock after I got caught in half and they’re trying to just hedge there, you know. Um, the interesting one, this was, to me, this was the most fascinating story this week and it’s gonna give a window into the future on how food has done. So what have you, if you’ve noticed this shift, no one’s sitting down at a TGI Friday’s anymore, but they’re ordering the shit out of it on door dash or on whatever app you choose. People are ordering from TGI Fridays or whatever order from restaurants till two in the morning. Oh, those white castle. And you can get white castle delivered from door dash and make better choices. Speaker:              So door dash we always joked at DoorDash doesn’t own any restaurants but it’s worth more than combined. Well now they just got into the ghost kitchen business. So I got my little crystal ball out like a Halloween story. Who? Yeah, no, this is, I cut. This is what I envision. There’s going to be these fake, they’re going to be like pop up restaurants that don’t have that. You can sit down and eat but you can order a MUN food delivery done door dash. So we have the pizza joint up front. Pretty much. You can see, you can sit down and eat there, but you can get pizza and go right. Yeah, pretty much. But they’re gonna have like, like a food court. You’re gonna have like 40 50 people in these, in these ghost kitchens and all their only business is going to be home delivery. Speaker:              I feel like we talked about this awhile ago, like there’s a like start up incubator spaces like in Los Angeles, in New York where you just rent out space in a giant industrial kitchen for your own little well look, I mean that’s what my friends part. Hold on David, my, uh, my buddy of mine is part of a conglomerate down in Cincinnati where they’re doing that, but this was more for food trucks and so we can have a home, it wasn’t necessary. And then they have like a general seating space. So you can like of like, you can do popups there, but it wasn’t necessarily meant specifically for door [inaudible] shipping company, but bigger with it. But not in no, but not, it wasn’t meant for that, but with no tables. Yeah. Like that was a low point. Speaking of food trucks, just to segue for a second, what’s the, what’s the place that always had all the food trucks in Ferndale fleet fleet? Speaker:              Every named after the, uh, enema kit. Do, did you read that well, which was appropriate. Did you read the story that came out? I believe? No. No. Um, where, you know what, before I go slandering anybody, let me just make sure that I’m, I’m getting this right. Um, there is a restaurant, uh, that apparently has been bouncing payroll. Oh, that’s Otis supply to supply. That’s across the street from fleet. That’s essentially, yeah. So yeah, apparently like none of the payroll ever clears, uh, vendors, vendors 170 grand in the hole. So you’re to get a hand carved, sliding barn doors from Paris. That’s the crazy shit. Like the build out on that $4 million to build it out. And I love going there. It’s a nice space. I love it. But, you know, not for 4 million bucks, you’re not gonna make, you know, in this business. No way. Speaker:              No way. The margins on food and they’re not, they’re not that much. Yeah. Right, right, right. Um, a couple of things on the uh, security front that I thought were, uh, were not humorous and sad dude, Equifax, ah, dude, the breach happened because they left a portal with the user ID admin and password admin. Really, really Equifax. Really, someone brought up a really good point. I work today. And if you look at their stock ticker, when the hack happened and they then they shit the bed, the stock went down to like whatever, the all time low and now it’s actually creep back up where it’s decent. And now this class action lawsuits coming to basically drive them back down again. Yeah. Like, but when stories like this come out, when you’re admin admin like you, you deserve what you got. Yeah. You really deserve every, every single moment. Speaker:              Again, you know, our anger that w I don’t hire you, but you have all my shit, right. You, um, yeah. I didn’t voluntarily give you any of my crap, but you still have it from all in you. You won’t. Oh yeah. They’re the worst of all data. Those are huge, huge class action. Hey Bob, I forget. Do you have the [inaudible] head? A Chevy pickup? No. The galaxy, no, I have the nine. Oh, okay. Just checking. Uh, in case you’re listening to this and you haven’t heard yet. Um, the galaxy S 10, uh, if you’re using thumb print a to unlock it for identification purposes. Um, yeah, they, they admitted today that there’s a bug and any, any thumbprint will unlock it. It doesn’t have to be yours at all. Any, any, any thumbprint [inaudible] it was the cause I think what it didn’t a woman use her left than her. Speaker:              Right. Ask her husband to it and it opened up [inaudible] and then they stems from her using a gel based screen protector on the screen. So thumbprint applies screen protector, screen protector interferes with reading. The thumbprint detects the ridges in the screen protector as the thumbprint and just unlocks. So this is as good as the old windows seven facial recognition on lock where you, all you had to do was hold up a photo of someone to unlock us and that since any film will do it. That’s, that’s amazing. That’s, you know, that’s one of the reasons why no thumb, no retina scan. Oh, I’m fine punching in my stupid 60 digit card. I just, I always go back to demolition man. Like I, I get, I know I keep going back to eyeball on the pen to unlock. No, I’m good. My kid, my kid turned 13 so I got her an I a iPhone 11 a for a birthday and it not the pro one like Arnold Schwarzenegger cannon on the back of nice, just like the regular one. Speaker:              And uh, she was like, okay, now you can do your face. Can I go? Nope. And I was like, I don’t want, the government doesn’t need to see what your retinas look like. You’re only 13 don’t leave the device. I, and I’m just being funny right. Believably elegiac exactly. Allegedly. Yeah, sure. We would know by now. Yeah. And Snapchat deletes everything. When you say really and Equifax can’t get at, Ian wants to let us know that leisure suit Larry bundle is available on steam up one through seven available. Ooh, I didn’t even, it can’t be worn about sort of like, I didn’t know there was a house party for [inaudible] your suit, Larry. Seven $24. And you know what a, you know, so you know, since the church, you know, isn’t getting a lot that, you know, the kids just don’t want to go to the church no more. Speaker:              Um, uh, how bout uh, someone sat around a table and said, why don’t we get into the uh, the IOT game and someone said, layouts do it. Click to prey is the name of this device and, and it’s a rosary that you can wear like a bracelet, click to pray, click, click to pray. Uh, it talks to your phone. So it’s an essence. It’s IOT. When you make the sign of the cross, the motion sensors in the bracelet actually opened the app on your phone and start playing a rosary. That’s not real. It, it really is. Does that end gadget? Oh yeah. I know it’s from the Vatican for real. Right? It’s a thing. It’s the Vatican says the device part of the Pope’s worldwide prayer network, a tech based teaching tool for learning how to pray for peace in the world. You get points for each time you pray in, the more you [inaudible] are they going to game-ify prayer. Speaker:              Um, so Hey, but good news. Um, it, we’re only what, let’s see. This is 2019 almost the end of it. Um, the military is no longer going to use eight inch floppy disks. Dude, I had to read this troll nuclear launch sequences. I had to read this six times to make sure that it wasn’t the onion. It not, not, not five and a quarter, not three and a half, eight inch. The big MCI floppy discs like from like war games. I want to say this again. Hold on. Can we say this again? U S military will no longer use floppy disks to coordinate nuclear launches. That’s terrifying. Just last week, 19 under title or whatever the, whatever. What’s the subtitle? Um, no has a highly secure, solid state digital storage solution. Mm. That makes me nervous about pure storage. It’s all tells me, Hey, well they bought Dell EMC, right? Speaker:              I made an eight inch floppy joke. Uh, sorry. I get a belt just for them. So actually we were talking about star Wars. Uh, one of the things we did not mention is, so if, if you are so inclined, uh, so the believe the first showing of the movie, uh, the new movie is on the 19th at 6:00 PM. If you feel like being around fellow nerds for a long, long time. Yes. Uh, you can start on the 18th in the morning and for a, I want, I’m sure, uh, 27 hours and 21 minutes. Yes. They will show all of the star Wars films immediately followed by the new moon. My seat be a toilet. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It’s gotta be like the Cartman world of Warcraft says awfully amazing. I wanna know what sequence they’re going to show them, not just what sequence. I want to know what version, I don’t want the night. Speaker:              You do going to show me that in a second. But if you show me O G, O G, uh, episode four, they’re never gonna sh no, it’s going to be 97. It’s going to be the special edition toilet. I don’t want to go that, you know, to sleep through or just bring lots of coffee or you sleep through any of them. I’m episode one, episode one. You totally just yet the mall scenes are better than any of the others too. Wake me up for the pod racing and then boring. No, the pod racing’s totally the best dude. Not even for the pod racing. Just for, we’ll just for dual. The fades like that stool. The face is good. Yeah. So wake me up for that. Wake me up for a mall and then we’re good. And then two, um, okay. I’ll fall asleep after he kills two, two and then wake me up. I was dad and yeah, and then wake me up somewhere around the bondage scenes like when, when Pat may starts showing up in the leather gear can be up around that the most I’ve ever done is when judge are being slowed in three movements. Back to back to back. I don’t know if I could do this. I can’t sit in a single seat for that long. I would lose my mind. I did it. Be it a desire this weekend, I guess you’re right. Speaker:              Bring a Blakey, bring a pillow. So we’ve got to take a bet on which one of our friends Teslas is going to brick first because the flash memory wears out. Dude, I’m going Neil, you’re going neat. Neo is our first friend with one I know, but he got the uh, the fancy one. So I don’t know if that gave, um, so basically it’s the culprit resides in the flash memory and the media control under the older Tesla vehicles. Um, basically it keeps all the log data and it doesn’t dump it. Yup. And it doesn’t archive it and it doesn’t move it into the cloud. It just sits there and the firmware wasn’t, it’s a big in the beginning. So log data law is lots of spare room to play with and basically they wrote the workload spread over over all the memory. Yeah. And now it’s full. Speaker:              Yeah. Now they’re logging so much data. There aren’t empty sectors available for like fall over or error correction or anything. The best line is because Tesla is a highly dependent on electronics. Once the flash memory and an infotainment unit goes bad at essentially bricks the car. That’s amazing dude. Shit, the app went down and what was it, two weeks ago? And nobody could get into their cars. Yeah. So that was amazing. So, and so we can wrap up with the, from the, nobody cares, a department. Um, and also like from back in the day of eight inch floppy disks, um, Yahoo groups is winding down. I didn’t even know Yahoo groups. I knew Yahoo still existed company ever. Did you ever do Yahoo? I didn’t even know what was Yahoo groups mailing lists? No, no, no. They were mailing lists. It was, no, it was message boards. Speaker:              It was essentially glorified mail. Yeah. And yeah, but, but like the good message boards that had the email component to it and that kind of stuff. Um, like right as like CompuServe and that kind of stuff was starting to wind down Yahoo launched groups trying to take its place and fill that niche and fill that void. I never did that, ever. No. I loved message boards, you know that. Oh, I know. Yeah. But yeah, so no, apparently. Yeah, and I think it’s like what you have like a day left. Uh, they extended it to the 28th to download all your files. So they’re killing all the features except for the emailing. I couldn’t, what does everybody got to move to Reddit R slash Google. Yahoo groups or who knows? Who knows. I couldn’t even begin to tell you what I had out there and nor do I care. Speaker:              I’m just managing. I was looking at PopCap games. We used to play the shit out of those at Verio and I was, there was this, these two games. One was like a javelin throw and the other one was a poker piggy packer and they’re both gone. I can’t find them. And like there was like literally the hours, hours, we could have sold so much crap, but we decided we had to like we have an office tournament on piggy booger. Anyway, we’re going to take a quick break. We’re going to be back with Maria and Pat from NuSpire. This is the item that he show. Hey, we’ll be right back. Speaker 2:           I see. And that the raids meets, listen, networking Detroit one day at a time. Speaker 3:           Hey, this is John Schneider from nip tuck Smallville, the haves and have not. So Dr. Quinn hot in Cleveland secret lives, the American teenager and just about everything you can possibly imagine and Oh yeah, the Dukes of hazard. You’re listening to Bob and Dave. See it in the D, show Speaker 2:           it in the t.com. Speaker:              Hey, welcome back. Segment two episode three 20 this is the it and that he show broadcast in live here in studio one podcasts each, right and beautiful oil Oak, Michigan, Bob the sales guy, Dave the geek. Randy. I do the Twitters is doing the Twitters. Find us online it in the [inaudible] dot com where you will find all the things. All right, so nobody, nobody ever in the history of time has ever gone into business because they want to collect evenly Rob the song. Nobody. No God, no. But you know, cause they want to get like sales tax for the government. But it’s something we all have to do. Thankfully, Avalara takes the mystery and paint out of the complex process of managing sales tax. Avalara uses the power of the internet in cloud services to automate the tax compliance process for businesses of all sizes. Speaker:              Integrating directly with the accounting e-commerce point of sale and marketplace platforms that you’re already using. Avalara software automatically calculates the right amount of tax that should be charged for every product in every transaction in real time and files your sales tax returns wherever and whenever they’re due. Selling internationally adds a whole new level of complexity. But Avalara has experts in 15 countries around the world to help you navigate compliance challenges as you grow. Dude, thank God we are not a product based company. Um, because like I remember like even selling tickets for the wrestling stuff, Oh, suddenly that became a tax implication that had to be dealt with because it’s a physical product and yet idiotic. I told you I almost shut down my German club and three events a year, they’re selling beer to make money to pay for the damn property tax and all of a sudden, Oh yeah, you guys owe another eight grand. Speaker:              Wait, what? Oh yeah. Well it just, you know, like we said, you know, the like the vendors at cons and that kind of stuff, you know, they’re selling their stuff that are trying to do it right, that are collecting sales tax and having to deal with it, you know, with their phone off their square or Stripe or yet it’s just ridiculous. Um, so here’s the deal. Stop spending valuable time worrying about your sales tax returns and focus on the things you actually love about running your business. Go to avalara.com/it and the D to learn more about how Avalara can help you. That’s Avalara, a V a L a R a.com/it in the D Avalara tax compliance. Done right guys, give it a look. You need to, yeah, good stuff. Absolutely. So, Hey, we are joined by a old friends of ours and a new friend. But Hey, the team here from NuSpire, it’s where they’re in the house. Speaker:              Three people here, no Maria pads, knee pads knew she can be to people that, Oh well she was telling us she was doing four jobs. So HR, um, but no, we got him, Maria Graham and house and Pat O’Sullivan from newspaper networks. How are both of you doing? I always love having you here. Doing great. Happy to be here. Good. Thanks for having me back. Loving having you back. So this is a, I don’t know if this is goofy or not, but it’s cybersecurity awareness month and there’s stuff going on at work, like where they, you know, stop the fish and they’re giving away Swedish fish and people are still doing stupid things like making their, you know, service count password one, two, three and getting hit by auditors like credo, Equifax. [inaudible] man. So I mean, when, when, when, you know, cybersecurity awareness about like, you know, Oh, by the way, my father, um, double-clicked uh, an attachment in an email, shut his computer down and call an 800 number on the phone for two hours with this person. Speaker:              My dad gave them the credit card. Luckily my mother was smart enough to call immediately and cancel the credit card and I chewed my dad out for an hour and he goes, who told you? And I’m like, meeting my wife told me, well, she not supposed that you didn’t want me to yell at him. Oh here’s your dad’s still running a windows PC. No, cause he doesn’t know how to load it on Boone to Randy [inaudible] give him a Chromebook or something that, Oh my, I got my mom a Chromebook, but he likes his desktop. Anyway. Um, so I mean going back like cyber security awareness month, it seems like no matter how hard we try, it seems like these things still happen. I mean, what are, what are you guys doing and what can we do to like, you know, make people aware to not do that stuff? Speaker 4:           Well, it’s really interesting. So we talked to, we’re, well, we’re in the sales side, right? So we talked to people all day, every day. And I’m, when we start talking in, you know, discovery and what’s going on and what’s your biggest challenge? And it’s always my people, my people, my, I’m paying all this money for these platforms, really good platforms, no before and things like that. And, uh, there’s not adaption and there’s not a buy in from, you know, executive leadership teams or things of that nature. And that’s the first thing, right? They’ve got to, yes. Start with that. You start with your people and if you’re not going to get buy in at the higher level, you gotta figure out how to do that. I think Speaker:              so what you’re saying is an internally, they need to have a salesperson to sell internally. Speaker 4:           Amazing. I’m amazed. Speaker:              I know I cheated there. My dad. Speaker 4:           Yeah. Yes, yes. That’s the biggest, that’s the biggest challenge that I hear. I think day in, day out, day in and day out is, is, uh, it all comes back down to the user. And you can buy all the best tools and platforms that are out there, but if you can’t teach, Speaker:              people still click things. Yeah. He’ll open up. The emails are still open, empty attachments. So here’s the thing though, those, those emails are our utter shite when, when we all know that they’re what they are. But the phishing tests, yes, yes, they’re there. They’re bad. Some of them write good ones where you like they’d get the domain. I think Neil did a good one where he bought like your company’s it department or some stupid URL like that and then shot like a, you know, and he got like, they got like 14 people out of 500 to like update their password through it. And I was like, ah. So I mean, you know, again, I’m like security awareness, PR. I mean, I guess where do you start and how do you stop that? I guess it’ll never stop it, but I mean, are you doing this monthly, biweekly? Do you get it random? Is this mitigation of risk at this point? I would, Speaker 4:           yeah. I think so too. But I think that there’s gotta be enough of somebody that has the authority to say, no, I’m serious. You do this and you learn this and you take it seriously. Because if you don’t, you’re exposing a huge risk to our business. So you need to be aware. Speaker:              There’s no repercussions though for, you know, Timmy and accounting that that clicked, that password reset. He didn’t even get his hand slapped. They just like you, you made the list great. And then you have to sit down and watch this video. Yeah. Speaker 4:           Well were like 10 videos or whatever. So no, it’s, it’s an ongoing battle. So then you have to have, you know, you gotta, you gotta take it from there. Right. It starts with user awareness and it doesn’t stop there. You have to continue that. You can’t just do it once a quarter, once a year. You can’t do it this month only. And then hope that that’s gonna resonate with you. Speaker:              Well, cause are you only hiring people this month? Speaker 4:           No. Yeah. Right. It’s got to continue. It’s got to be ongoing, going to be Speaker:              busy. There’s still going to be rushing through their words. They’re still going to be clicking on things and opening things. Um, you know, and you said it has to be for, for front of mine, but you also had to do more because people are, no matter how much training you do, people are still gonna click. They’re still gonna look, you have to watch, you have to, you know, you have to be seeing what they’re doing. You have to be paying attention, you have to have eyes on because I’m training isn’t enough. I mean, cause if you look at it, I remember having a conversation, think I brought this up a few times of a CSO of a pretty large company that everybody would know and he goes, man, he goes, 70% of my budget is, is firewalls and VPN licenses. And he goes in the in, in IDs as IDPs and he goes, 20% is maybe doing, you know, buying a proof point or, or getting, you know, some sort of LDP or at all. Um, data loss, prevention, DLP, sorry, DLP. And then I got like 10% to do stuff that I want to do. So I, you know, everybody’s like small security’s important. Everybody’s crunched by the almighty budget dollar, you know, so you gotta go on the cheap and then, and then what, you know what I mean? So I think both both sides are accountable. Then your phishing emails look like crap. [inaudible] you can’t really, you can’t really get too mad at Timmy and accounting when you haven’t done shit. Yeah, Speaker 4:           right. Yeah. Well. And it’s also spending the money wisely. Right. So there’s a lot of things that you can do for teaching user awareness. Like I think it’s unique that your work is sending out, they’re doing a more of a social campaign. Right? Like just making you aware they’re not making you sit down and watch videos cause no offense, like I hate watching the videos. I work for a cyber company. Fricking words like I hate it. But like if you can do something fun just to keep me like, Hey this is the thing, don’t screw up. It’s important that Speaker:              so you get by us. If you leave your laptop on locked, you walk home. No, when you walk away, if security sees it, they basically shame you when they change your wallpaper to me. Like you got, Speaker 4:           Oh that happens. They’ll turn, they do the thing. Like I’m in sales, I don’t even know how they do this. Like I’ve done that twice. I think in 10 years at new Spier they’ll turn your whole stuff upside down. Speaker:              Controller. Okay. Yeah, I think it’s control. Alt arrow keys. Speaker 4:           Okay. Thank you. Critical knowledge for me. Speaker:              Most people get, they get it. If security doesn’t catch someone on our floor, they get Hastlehoffed. Yeah, the horizontal Playboy pose like that one. Yeah. That’s the wallpaper. Yeah. Yes. You’re hiring, right? Oh yes. Right. He just leaves his shit open all day. Right. Actually he just leaves one laptop open all day that he does nothing with and it does all his work on the other one now. Speaker 4:           Yeah. Well there’s like tons of things, right? So you can start with the training, but then you know, there’s a lot of people that are going, they’re skipping the training cause they feel like it’s not effective or they do it once a year and then they spend a fortune on point solutions that aren’t integrated. And you know, at the end of the day they spend a ton of money with a bunch of point solutions and they’re not integrated and a ton of time and they can’t, they still don’t know what the heck’s going on. They don’t know what they’re doing. So, um, and it’s no fault of anybody’s, it’s just here’s gaps. Let’s fill in with some tech and then, okay, now the text making noise and now what do we do with the noise? And now we’re ignoring the noise. And now our people aren’t. Now our people aren’t trained and now the fishing is happening and this caught the fishing. But we didn’t catch it because we have 40 other point solutions that are being build me a dashboard. Yeah. Now I use the dashboard, but now I’ve got 47 dashboards and it’s, it’s uh, it’s tough. Speaker:              Common. We’re seeing that a lot actually. Yeah. So what’s the a, is there an answer or is it just, just keep doing, keep doing. I don’t, you know, I’ve just, I think there’s always going to be a little bit of that, right? We have to keep layering security. But there is an answer. There’s a, I mean, there’s a few ways we can do it. The biggest thing is to get some help, get some help from people who know what they’re doing. Get some people who can actually pay attention. Um, who can look at the tools you’ve got in place, who can look at what’s going on in your network, um, and, and spend that money on those types of resources rather than continuing to invest $100,000 in new point solutions or a new staff to, to watch and body. I guess here’s the thing. You’ve got security vendors coming, you know, out of the woodworks. How do you know, how do, I guess, how do you trust that they’re not glue sniffers building model airplanes? You know what I mean? There’s, yeah, Speaker 4:           no, I agree. I think that’s a good point. No, I think a, a better thing to do would be to slow the heck down and instead of realizing that you’ve got gaps everywhere and filling the gaps, figure out a strategic approach to fill the gaps, right? So like, instead of buying this tool that’s gonna do this and this tool that’s going to do this, and Oh, by the way, both of these tools have this overlapping functionality really like slow down before you start pulling the trigger on some of that stuff and think about an integrated approach. Um, that’s also going to tie into your capability to manage that approach or figure out what you can and can not manage and figure out where you need to hire more people or maybe partner with some strategic people and, um, don’t stop the user training cause that’s again going to be the most important thing, right? So you have to have an integrated approach. You have to figure out what tools are gonna talk to, which tools you have to figure out what those gaps are. Please don’t start spending money on pen testing for no reason. Like if you’ve know there’s gaps, you know, your users aren’t getting trained and you know, your IDs is set up poorly and you know, you have these don’t spend money on a pen test that’s not going to work. We hear that a lot too, Speaker:              but sometimes like, but, and just, you know, but sometimes don’t you have to, to be able to check the box and said, yes, we did a pen test. Speaker 4:           You do. You do have to do that to check the box, certainly for depending on your industry, right? But as a solution fixing, um, we hear a lot too. That’s just the new think it’s not new, but it’s something that is starting to gain weight a lot, especially in like some of the, the mid market and maybe unregulated industries where they don’t have to do that, but they talked to other people that are regulated. I’ll go get a pen test. Well, why are you going to test something, you know, is broken? That doesn’t really make sense. Why don’t you, why don’t you, uh, you know, it’s like a leaky dam, right? Don’t, don’t try to patch the hole before you try to break through the hole. Right? Um, and then once you figure out where those gaps are, maybe taking a stick a finger in the dike. [inaudible] Speaker 4:           I know he was, I saw it in his face. I did. The eyes opened up like Johnny Cash I look at and I’m like, Oh my God, I’m sorry you’re allowed to do that. It’s fine. It’s fine. Um, but so you just gotta take integrated approach to the whole thing and then you’ve got to figure out what you can and cannot do yourself. That’s it. Right? Figure out, find some strategic partners, figure out what makes sense to manage internally. Figure out what doesn’t, but make sure from at the end of the day, spending a ton of money on cyber tool after cyber tool, after cyber tool. And then you have a whole stack of stuff that’s creating nothing but noise. Speaker:              Well yeah, there’s probably not integrated that Speaker 4:           it doesn’t make any sense. You gotta be strategic about it and you know, and so figuring out how to do that. So sometimes instead of just pulling the trigger, it’s hard. And I’m in sales like the worst. It’s the worst when I get into one of those conversations and I’m like, Oh my God, I could tell you all the things right now, but I’m not going to, you need to slow down. Like I need you to slow down cause what you’re doing isn’t going to work. And I, you know, this is why, right? Cause you, you’re talking about this tool, you’re talking about this tool, you’re talking about all these different things. And then you know, you’ve all P S you’ve got an it staff of 20 for X billion amount of users or whatever. This isn’t going to work for you to manage. So let’s figure out a better strategic way to integrate this stuff and make it so that, you know, we can be successful at the end of it. And that I think is, is the challenge that we’re coming into now because there’s just, I mean, you look at the fricking, you know, the LinkedIn, the infographic, we’ve all seen what the security value. Yeah. Like nobody even like you D my shoe hurts and I’ve got 47 security vendors for like, I don’t need, my shoe doesn’t hurt. It’s very comfortable. But you know what I’m saying? Like there so many options out there and these people, people, it’s tough. Speaker:              So, yeah, I mean I keep hearing over and over that the trend seems to be moving towards simplicity. Um, you kind of alluded to it. Um, I guess, are you seeing it too? And, and I guess to what degree, cause you know, when you say that that’s a very loose term. Um, but then I’m hearing this and you know, it kind of coincides with everything I’m hearing as well. Speaker 4:           Yeah. Um, I think that what I hear more is it’s too complex, right? So it’s a complex landscape right now in the, in the people that I talked to, ha, it’s too complex for them to deal with. Speaker:              What I meant was simplicity. Meaning where does it going to take and just strip everything away and we’re going to, we’re going to like the strategies from an end user are just, you know, go into more simpler route than stacking all these vendors on that. Yeah. Speaker 4:           Um, yeah, I think that or I th so yes, I do think stripping it back and finding a, um, well I guess there’s a couple of different ways to look at, and it depends on who you’re talking to. Um, larger scale organizations are going to take a different approach than more of the middle market. Right? Um, so for the larger scale, I think that what I found is everybody’s going towards single vendor, single platform. It doesn’t matter who it is, it doesn’t matter what it is. And once they buy into one piece of it, if they like it, they’re going to buy the whole thing, which is good as long as they have the people to manage it. Um, smaller enterprise to higher end mid market and mid market there, they’re still in, in my experience from, from the conversations they’re having. We’ve got a lot of people have just bought and layered on a ton of different tools, a ton of different applications, a ton of different dashboards and um, they can’t do it. Like they’re like, I got all this stuff, but I have no visibility. And it’s confusing to me is how you don’t have the visibility and it’s time and resources. They don’t have the time and resources to deal with. Speaker:              Well. Yeah, I guess that brings up a point that I wanted to, I wanted to ask you, you guys do always have done really well with small business and I could tell a couple of stories from just this past year where one, um, it was an insider theft scenario. [inaudible] cost them about a million and a half in legal fees, never implemented any solution to curtail that in the future. Another one, you know, basically got ransomwared um, never did it in, into stop, but in the future is like, here’s the thing, they’re getting burned. You know, it’s kind of like if you get your car stolen, you might get a low Jack next. You know what I mean? Yeah. And go, I don’t know. I want to deal this crap again. You know what I mean? You just go buy something or some of it comes down to, you know, where’s, you know, w what’s a, what’s your risk tolerance and B, where’s the cost benefit? Like if, if, okay, the ransomware is they want $200,000 and it’s going to cost me 30 grand to replace everything. All right. Everything just got lit on fire and I’m just replacing everything right. It’ll be stopped. We saw that happen with a couple of universities this year with the stories we were talking about, the library or whatever. Yeah. Speaker 4:           Um, well I think that it is, it’s always a risk. It’s a risk tolerance equation always. Right. And so, um, it depends on who you’re talking to. Right. Um, I think that providing people with a narrative when they’re going internally, cause it’s not like I’m never going to talk to a CSO that got burned and we’re not, we, we’ve done very well in the SMB, but we’ve moved a little bit upstream to more higher end Midmark in some, some low and enterprise type of, of, um, engagements in, in, um, target market in the last two years. But you’re never gonna talk to a C. so they got burned and is like, I’m okay with it. Yeah. Speaker:              Right. That’s exciting. I wouldn’t wish their job on anyone that when they do get burned because like how many people called Borg Warner the morning after the, whatever, that guy that got caught in erratic [inaudible]. Anyone know? They didn’t get burned. David target on their back. It’s tough. Average length, what was it, 18 months. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 4:           It’s, it’s very short. Um, but it’s not about the CSO though. It’s not that they don’t want to do it. It’s about helping them create the narrative to sell internally with the risk, with the risk. Right? Like, um, like you said, it’s like you need a salesperson. You need a sales person on the inside. And so, um, Speaker:              I found that’s a big challenge for a lot of them too, is translating the, the risk equation and translating the, you know, what they know needs to happen on the it side, into business language that the board can actually adopt and understand and resonate with. You know, they, they’re speaking in business terms and a lot of times translating that as a major challenge. Speaker 4:           Um, but, uh, um, you know, I think that, uh, a lot of it is just [inaudible]. You have to pay attention and you have to, you have to be aware of what’s happening. You have to train your users. You have to be constantly evolving because the landscape is constantly evolving. Every day there’s new things happening and changing. 10 years ago, tell me, ransomware was going to hit every 14 seconds and it would take four minutes to hack an IOT device. It’s literally, it’s 14 seconds. Every, every day, 14 seconds. Ransomware is hitting somewhere. And I think it’s right. It’s gotten to the point where it’s hitting my father’s computer, right? It’s everywhere. It’s everywhere. It’s ridiculous. Um, and so it’s, it’s, I think more and more people are understanding and I think it’s our job in a cyber secure and we’re not a point solution. We’re a managed security service provider. Speaker 4:           So I think the largest part of my job is not, I don’t have to sell a CSO. My service, there’s value there. They get it right? But I have to help them. I become there. I’m the sales person on the inside. Like, how do I help you, um, be successful and win? What can I do for that? And so that’s, um, probably, you know, where we’re NuSpires been very successful is, is kind of trying to crack that code and help people be successful in getting there. We always like hearing us. We always like hearing people that are hiring. Yeah, the magnitude of what you guys are hiring. 50 jabs. I got 50 open positions. We’re growing. It’s good. We jumped to a good problem to have. It’s a good problem to have. We jumped. Um, we’re number 27 on the MSSP list right now. Speaker 4:           That’s up like 25 spots from last year cause he was little kids. Do I know up first time I was scared of you the first time I was like Oh my gosh, she’s such, he says such foul language. What do I do? I didn’t, I didn’t say that I was probably dropping F bombs with them but no. But yeah we’ve got 50 open positions and majority of those are going to be in like um, the security engineering and the the, the SIM and SAC analysis and and stuff like that. But anybody thrown out, thrown out a wishbone here cause I’m a sales person, but we’re hiring, we got a ton of sales positions open to so hit us up. Yeah, that’s insane. I just had to give this guy $250 spiff. I split my, my referral fee with him for the last candidate he sent me. So if you know, people send them to me, we have bonuses. Speaker 4:           What else has got, I guess, what else is going on without, you know, what else is going on? Oh my goodness. So many things. We, um, Oh, secure world. How we’re supposed to see you in security. I really missed you guys there. I was really sad and you could see it was good. It was a good show. Such a chaotic week by the of God. I know. I what he said. I was texting him, but um, no, it was a, it was a good show. Uh, there was a lot of, a lot of traffic. Uh, topics were good. We had a panel, we had a couple of really good friends that were there, so that was fun. It was a good show. Oh, is usually is. Yeah. It was in a new venue this year, which is, it was at co, well, it’s not global. It’s not Kobo anymore. What is it now? [inaudible]. It’s called both. Yeah, I know. I know the people mover just says convention center. Yeah. Well it’s all confusing now because none of the maps, the maps don’t know where to send you. You put that, it’s very confusing. No, it was good. Um, Speaker:              [inaudible] chemical boys South wasn’t there last year? No. It was over the one that you’re thinking of the state of Michigan one with the CIO? No, not even dental was at Detroit science center. There’s that Kobo. No, there. Yeah, I was gonna say, cause there was the one that Michigan site, it was the cybersecurity summit. So that was the one that Snyder’s Brennan was there. Yes. But there was the other one we did. Oh. Oh, that was CBIS. Oh, that was a no, no, no, no. Uh, besides, so that was one of those two, what was it? B. Okay. Yeah. Cause it was on the second floor. Yeah. Yeah. That one second off besides, or was one of the, there’s two of them that are always back to back. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Speaker 4:           I mean, whatever it’s called. Anyways, it caused confusion for me. Paint up. Let’s just try now. I’m all screwed up. Shoot now. So that was good. Um, what else have we been doing? We, we just finished a overhaul on our security operation center. It looks awesome. Oh, I completely remodeled. Cool. Awesome. Kind of space age now. Yeah, it’s really fun coming from I was a baby so it was not that. And now it’s, Speaker:              well, you know, we need almost an Ivy designer cause it’s all like the fancy TV. Speaker 4:           I don’t even know. I’m like texting my old time clients from eight years ago. Like check on her sock now. I know you were here a while ago. Like what, five employees now? Yeah, it was small company, but we’re growing and we’re doing, it’s fun. It’s a fun place to be. The culture school. Um, and we’re going places. So it’s, it’s been really exciting or a year and a half and it’s been wild. Speaker:              Just the ride in that short time. How can we, we’ve grown and I say, I called it and you guys back in like, Oh eight when I was at HP, that’s when I first started talking to Dan. And, uh, yeah to that. That’s 11 years ago. Oh my God. But yeah, you guys are a little [inaudible] exactly. Go into the junior high dance doing the, the slow dance where your arms are fully extended. Yeah. Speaker 4:           Yeah. Now you’re getting our prayer fun. We’ve got a couple of, we’ve got security operation centers in, uh, in Denver and in Cincinnati now, so we’ve got a couple of different offices that are well staffed. It’s not just in commerce. So good for you guys. It’s fun. So when we send people to find out more, I go to, well go to careers@newspier.com Speaker:              and it’s, and you spoil, you’re not new. Did you buy NuSpire just to get really, should I probably do that actually should do that. I get a referral fee for that one too. You branding. Like, could that be real new is available.

While the sky may not be falling in Denver, people are still coming up to Dave and asking him what in the heck is going on with the Broncos. Dave weighs in on the debacle against Kansas City, and why John Elway should be taking calls for Emmanuel Sanders and Chris Harris Junior. We then get into the sticky conversation about the possibility of John Elway being fired. Dave gives us some insight into a conversation he had with the former Broncos quarterback, and Elway's acknowledgement the buck stops with him.   We offer up a quick preview of the Colts game and what the Broncos will need to watch out for. We then get into a conversation about Rob Gronkowski and his endorsement of CBD oil. Dave offers his thoughts on the opiod situation in the NFL and why CBD oil should be legal in the NFL. We finish it off with a game of "Cool or not cool" where we learn some interesting facts about Dave. The most interesting being he used to give away money for Halloween when he was single. And not just singles. Five dollar bills!!!  To ask Dave a question we will read on the podcast, just log onto thedaveloganpodcast.com and go to the contact section.  Or contact us on twitter @daveloganpod or @juliebrowman1

This week we are joined by the owner and co-founder of Father Daughter Records, Jessi Frick. We talk with Jessi about running her very unique label, and review some new albums from Sheer Mag, Whitney, Lana Del Rey, and Black Belt Eagle Scout.

The episode starts out by highlighting some painful truth about his latest relationship. Love addiction has reared its head one more time and we hear Beau admit to the painful pattern that quite frankly we've heard expressed throughout the podcast. Is addiction only an issue for a certain group or is it a humanity issue? I read an article to support my opinion that it is most definitely a human issue. Why can't I/we just be with ourselves? Well, here I go folks...wish me luck. It's about fricking time I choose whats on the inside versus the comforting outside thats no longer comfortable. I'm nervous and scared. Stay tuned...

Nadia and Kat take a break from the Top 25 RPG countdown to talk about what they miss from classic RPGs. Remember overworlds? Large party sizes? Fricking cloth maps? The pair reminisce about those old school features and more in this nostalgia laden episode of Axe of the Blood God.

Katrina Ruth: No, it's not a silent movie. Sometimes I just like to sit here silently at the start of a live stream because I feel like you should talk first. You should talk first. I shouldn't have to talk first all the time. It feels unfair. You know that you gotta start arranging hair as soon as you get on a live. I've said this many times. I'm just making sure you realise. All right. Katrina Ruth: Hey Dee. Hi, how are you? Hi 11 people in my live stream already. Those are some magical double ones. Okay 10, okay 11. You'll talk? Good. Somebody else should have to talk now and then. I just feel like I was gonna sit here and not talk until somebody else talked. I actually bought this swimsuit just for this live stream, you guys. Thanks [Carly Renney 00:00:58]. Katrina Ruth: I like to be super understated with my colours and shit. I was looking at myself side on in the mirror, before I went out to the pool earlier on, out there. The public area, not this little pool. Hair to one side you look like naked. Oh well. It'll drive the viewers up. That's fine. Okay, hair to one side. Fine Leah [Steel 00:01:22]. I'm not taking direction. Katrina Ruth: Yeah, look at my fancy new banner. How cool is it? But I need it to go all the way across the screen. Ow. I just whacked my hand on a pillow. A pillar, not a pillow. Do you know what's annoying? I'm gonna tell you something that's annoying. On my phone, I need to know. Here's what I need to know. Kelly, Leah, people who tell me the things, Jamie, all of you, Andy, Dave, can you see my under boob right now? Or can you only see some of the bikini? Because this phone screws with you. Katrina Ruth: What happens is, you think that you can see ... like when I live stream in a bikini ... Ella, I've been so crazy today. You have no idea the levels of crazy that have been happening in my head. So, you're not alone in your crazy. Okay, good. Because I feel a little bit of under ... See? I don't mind ... What I mean is can you see my stomach? Or can you just see bikini? No stomach? Because on my phone, I'm safe, right? On my phone, my whole stomach is not presenting itself to the live stream. Not that it's illegal to show it or something, but sometimes when I live stream like this and then I watch the replay on my desktop ... An inch or two below. Okay, good. Katrina Ruth: I just need to know where my cutoff zone is. Because when I watch the replay on the desktop, it seems to show a lot lower down, and you don't know what's going on down here. And nobody needs to know what's going on down here. But when I feel that I'm safe to let anything happen down here ... it's starting to sound weird now. But I feel like I don't have to worry about how I'm holding myself. Do you know what I mean? Like I'm not sitting here trying to sit perfectly posed and my lower abs held in. Katrina Ruth: And then if I watch the desktop replay later, I'm like, "Well fuck you, Facebook. You're just showing everybody everything." Okay, so there was that. And then the banner thing is amazing, but I want it to go across the whole screen, and I did actually buy this bikini just for this live stream because I felt bored with all my colours. Just show it all, it'll be amazing. Oh, did you guys see that stripper that went viral? For eating pizza while she was dancing on the pole? Katrina Ruth: I saw it on the Fat Jewish's page yesterday, who I do follow him. I do find him quite amusing. And I thought it was fantastic. Always something funny happening. Good. Oh my God. You have to ... just do a Google search for stripper goes viral eating pizza. She was fully dancing, wherever she was dancing at, some place in Vegas or Hollywood or somewhere, and eating pizza while she was doing ... Well, she didn't even give a fuck. She just sat down on the bottom of the pole and ate some pizza, and then got up and lazily did a bit of a dance to, I think it was Sandman, Metallica, which made it even more amazing than it already would've been. Katrina Ruth: It was hands down the most impressive thing you've ever seen on the internet. I went and followed her on Instagram straight away after that. I was fascinated by the whole thing. I think she was just hungry, but she's now viral. Or she's smarter than all of us. So, I'm trying to think about how can I replicate that. If I eat pizza on a live stream, am I gonna go viral? Because I think that would be reasonable. Katrina Ruth: So, all right. The crazies had me full under its spell the last several days. Full under its spell. You would've loved when I worked at the alternative and burlesque fair. Yeah, I don't mind a bit of burlesque. Were you doing burlesque dancing? I feel like I could do some sort of impression of burlesque dancing right now, however I won't. You've all been saved . Katrina Ruth: Okay. I was sitting over yonder ... I'll show you yonder. Check out yonder. Hang on one second. There it is. That's yonder. [inaudible 00:05:11]. Yonder looks pretty good. This is my little house, for now. I wanted to live stream on one of those chairs that's right over there, but it would require me to put the tripod in the water, which seems like ... given my propensity for clumsy shit just randomly happening to me, seems like it wouldn't be that smart of an idea to position the tripod in the water, but I must say I was very tempted. Katrina Ruth: So, I was sitting over yonder, and I thought I was gonna do a live stream an hour ago. I even told Callie Jones, who sends out my daily ask agree newsletter for me, that I was gonna live stream. I said, "Prepare the ask agree email ready to be sent out so that you can have the live stream in," and I was conscious also that it's gonna be 5:00 PM her time. Not that we have exact working hours, but still, I kind of keep them into consideration or I try to. Katrina Ruth: And then, I got into so much bullshit about why I couldn't live stream while I was sitting out there, because there was a quite a few people out there at the pool, and then ... Oh, okay cool. Who's watching this in the shower? Okay, Al, you definitely are crazy. She gets the crazy award. Hey Terry. I'm with the waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Still, I would totally live stream from the shower if I thought I could get away with it. I mean, I could get away with it. I don't know. I haven't felt called to. If my soul desired to I would certainly do it. Katrina Ruth: But I've done it from the bath, obviously. Who hasn't live streamed out of the bath? I feel like if you've not live streamed out of the bath, or you wouldn't be willing to live stream out of the bath, you definitely couldn't get to be in the inner circle. In fact, my brother via ... I'm gonna say via now, not via. I'm Americanizing my words. In certain places, gradually. Bit by bit. Because I feel like it makes me sound cool. Katrina Ruth: So, Jamie's in the bath. You're allowed to be in the bath. You're pregnant and engaged all at the same time. It's very intense. There's lots of things going on. Congratulations to Jamie, who got engaged right as I was calling her the other night for our one on one call, and she didn't pick up the phone, and I was like, "That's odd." And I messaged her and said, "Ready when you are." And she wrote back, "Sorry, I was just being proposed to. I'll call you in a minute." And I was like, "You don't need to call me in a minute. We can rebook the call, oh my God." She's said, "No, no. I still wanna do the call." I'm like, "Of course. Of course you do." My clients are amazing. Katrina Ruth: Anyway, send her a love hot shower. So, my brother via Frank [Kernel 00:07:42] ... No, hang on. Frank Kern via my brother wants me to do a questionnaire, a questionnaire, a questionnaire that people should have to fill out if they wanna be in the inner circle, like to apply to work with me. Like I think you can even go to work with Katrina Ruth dot com, and you'll see nothing at all, but you'll see that the URL is not available, because apparently there's going to be a questionnaire there. Katrina Ruth: So, I think that I'm gonna come up with these questions. Obviously if this questionnaire ever eventuates, and one of the questions is gonna be would you or would you not be prepared to live stream in the bath. Yes, Kat, and it will be multiple choice, and the answers will be yes Kat, I would love to live stream in the bath. I live stream in the bath all the time. Why are you even asking me such a silly question? The second answer, second option will be well, I've never live streamed in the bath before, but I'm willing to consider investing in myself this way because it feels like it's finally time. And the third one will be, hell now, I will never live stream in the bath, but please send me all your free content about how to live stream like a Stepford entrepreneur. Katrina Ruth: And then there will be another TR, which would be would you be willing to live stream in the bath with me and the entire rest of the inner circle? Not because we need to get weird and all have baths together, but because it's just the kind of stuff that happens on an inner circle retreat. Just randomly. Usually with obviously some form of espresso martini. So, those would be the sort of questions, because I don't even know what sort of fucking questions I would ask if I was gonna ask people questions. I just wanna basically estimate the level of crazy. Katrina Ruth: In fact, they should have to be an essay, a short essay answer question and it will be please explain your level of crazy. Okay. Had to jump, had to dry my hands. What was this topic about? That's right. So, sitting out at the pool. I was sitting out there. I came up with numerous reasons why I wasn't able to live stream, like there was too many people around, and then the phone was gonna get hot if I set it in the sun, and then ... I don't know if that's self conscious, and it was all a bunch of bullshit, so I nearly called the live stream I'm full of shit. Katrina Ruth: And then, I decided to call it whatever I called it, which was something to do with being normal. Because then I thought, well maybe it's good for me to have a little pause in my day. I've had an intense busy day. Had like a two hour massage in the middle of it, so i guess it wasn't that intense. Had my hair done, went to yoga, had a healing session for me. Okay, I'm not sure what the intense bit was, but there was definitely a lot of shit that got done somewhere along the way. It felt like an active day of alignment and ass kicker, as they all are. Katrina Ruth: And so, I thought maybe it's good for me to rest for a little bit, and just get some sun time and get my tan on. Half of my ass is too white because I've been wearing bikinis that are all the wrong shapes and sizes. So, there's a kind of a ... what's the word? Kind of like a patchwork quilt situation of tan going on on my ass, so I thought I should maybe work on that because I had the idea that I wanna put a photo of my ass on Instagram. Katrina Ruth: I'm not gonna say why, but there's a reason. Well, okay. Because I feel like ... Okay, the reason is every time I feel like I'm in really good shape, then I say to myself, "I just wanna get into a little bit better shape, and then I'm gonna take some really cool sexy photos", and I just feel what sort of bullshit story that is, and so I should photograph my ass with the ocean behind it. Yes? Yes. I'm not sure of the logic, but it's roughly ... That's what was going through my head. Katrina Ruth: And so, I was trying to work on the tanning situation because you can't put an ass photo up with white patchwork quilt stuff going on all over it. That makes no sense. You could, but I choose not to. But I managed to sit down for like four minutes, you guys. I would say four minutes maximum, and I was bored out of my brain. I was so bored. And I was just thinking how do people do this? How do people come somewhere amazing and beautiful like this ... I get that they do jobs and stuff like that. Normal people things most of the year, so then they come here, or they come to a place like this, which is pretty much where I am all the time in some sort of amazing place, and then how they wanna rejuvenate themselves, or relax, is they sit there by the pool, all fricking day ... I've watched them. Well, I've observed enough to understand. I haven't watched them in a creepy way. Katrina Ruth: And they have some cocktails and stuff, and sometimes they read books, but mainly they just sit there until they get super burnt because they don't have naturally gifted olive skin like me. It is what it is. And I just think I would go crazy. Don't you think you would go crazy if you had to sit there all day? I mean, I'm already crazy for sure, but it kinda feels impossible to do that for more than 30 minutes. I don't know. Tell me your thoughts about this. Katrina Ruth: Can you sit by the pool and do nothing, and just kind of tan or lay there in the sun or whatever you wanna do? Because I think I've definitely done it at periods through my life. I've definitely been known to sit by a pool and not really do anything, but it's such a ... I don't know. I'd have to be ... I don't know. I think I've done it once or twice. I don't know what the circumstances were. Maybe after I did a crazy intense workout, but for sure I'll always just end up journaling, or the closest I'll come to just sitting by a pool and relaxing is listening to rock start audios from my clients, or cool WhatsApp messages from my friends. Jamie says for 44 minutes, for sure. Katrina Ruth: You're pregnant, so you're allowed to sit wherever you want, whenever you want. We're just highlighting Jamie's pregnancy all the way through this. But when I was pregnant, I probably would've sat by the pool and done nothing, or I guess sometimes if I'm super tired, for sure, I can chill there and just have a little time. But even then, you know what? I'd be listening to a fucking meditation app, or I'll sit there if I'm watching the kids play, or I'm kind of engaging with them. If I'm sitting, watching them in the pool, playing Marco Polo, or maybe I'm playing with them, but sometimes I'll just sit on the edge and watch them. That's okay. But then I'm kind of on lifeguard duty, right? Katrina Ruth: I don't know. My point is, I think that sometimes we think it's bad that we always wanna be doing something. Tara says I have ADD so it's impossible. That's kind of why I wanted to come on and talk about it, because I don't know about you, but I know for me, sometimes I get into a bit of a story in my head that there's something wrong with me. Like I should be able to relax, or I should need to relax. And then it's kind of like, well what is relaxation actually? Katrina Ruth: Because for an entrepreneur, you can be in the most beautiful place in the world, with the most incredible luxury and surrounds, and quote unquote normal person relaxation shit going on, you're gonna feel stressed out as fuck if you're not doing whatever it is you need to be doing for your soul, right? To me, the idea of sitting by the pool during the day, drinking, sounds extraordinarily stressful and distressing. It sounds like something that by the end of it, I would just be like heightened anxiety energy and wanna punch someone in the face. Katrina Ruth: I'm sure there's a situation or a circumstance, if I was with friends, but if I was with friends, we'd be having amazing growth conversations while doing that as well. So, you know, I'm sure it's not impossible but in a general sense, the idea of trying to normal for even a few minutes, it's so hard, and I just wonder how do people even live their lives like that? Katrina Ruth: Ella says I'm always watching or listening, or writing. Anytime I switch off, why would I ... I'm gonna move. Nothing to do with your comment, but I think I wanna move and sit up at my little table there, because I actually only sat right here where I am so that I could get some more sunshine time, and get a little bit more tanned up, but now the sun's gone away anyways, so I'm gonna be way happier sitting over here. All right, hang on one second. We're gonna readjust this. Katrina Ruth: So, I mean, here's the thing right? This is actually a conversation about being too much. Okay. I'm gone. Where am I? Yeah, no, I didn't just crack it at your comment, Ella, and then leave. How fricking dark is it sitting here though? Maybe I should sit over there. Maybe I will sit on that little lounger over there. How do you feel about me putting the tripod in the water? Do you think that's a good idea? Or less than a good idea? Katrina Ruth: Jamie says totally, while listening to a deep audio book or meditation. Otherwise, no more than six minutes. Six minutes. Like six minute absolutely. I think it is a good idea to put the tripod in the water, because that way the light will be on my face, because I'll be facing this way. I think we're going in, you guys. I think it's time to go in. I'm in the water. I'm in the water with the tripod. Screenshot it, send it to me as proof of my craziness. Katrina Ruth: Don't let me shake my head too hard, or my earplugs might fall out into the water. This is so precarious, because I'm having to consider not flashing you my whole hoo-ha. I do have pants on, but still. And I'm also having to consider not putting the tripod into the water. Okay. Ha-ha. All right. Now we're set. But now you don't have the beautiful pool view behind you. How can I fix that for you? I got it, I got it. Don't worry. It's under control. Thank you. The ear pods are waterproof, apparently. Katrina Ruth: Oh, that's ... Patrick said they're waterproof, which I was very upset about because I just thought that it was because I was magical that my ear pods didn't die. And then he was like, no, that's because they're waterproof. All right. Don't worry, Lisa. It's under control. I'm fixing it for you. If [Sarafina 00:17:42] comes out right now, she's gonna be laughing her head off at what I'm trying to do here. Okay. Can we do it like that? Katrina Ruth: Okay. I feel like we've mastered it. It was a team effort. Congratulations, you guys. There's only one problem. The problem is I'm sitting with one ass cheek in the air because I'm sitting on the curvy end of the lounger. Okay, if I pull it too far it's gonna fall right off into the water and then I would fall right into the deeper part of the pool in front of everybody. Check it. Deep pool. Kat. Okay. Team effort, well done. I feel much better now. I feel like I can actually get into preaching. The whole other situation was annoying me. I was a little self conscious because I was sitting super close to the fence, and I was conscious that the people who I was trying not to live stream in front of are literally on the other side of that fence. Katrina Ruth: See? This is a bullshit story, right? So much bullshit. I nearly didn't live stream at all for you guys today, because I was in so much bullshit in side of my own head of whether or not I felt like it, and whether or not I was gonna be too noisy in a public place. And then whether or not the phone was gonna overheat, which is actually a legitimate concern, because if the phone overheats the live stream dies, which did happen the other day, right at a critical moment as well. Because all moments are critical. Katrina Ruth: Okay. I feel like we could go anywhere and any place in time and space from this. You know Kat's feeling aligned when the arm gestures are more fully leashed. You're right. I didn't even do that to emphasise that. You're so right. I was feeling really stressed over there, you guys. I was feeling like not in my flow zone, and then I didn't feel good sitting at the table because it was so dark, and the light wasn't on my face. Here, I'm compromising because I love you, because if I would sit this way, the lighting would be better on my face, but to show my love and care for my community, I'm sitting this way so that you can see some of my pool view. Katrina Ruth: I'm so glad you did, says Liz. I need some Katrina love real talk to keep my momentum going. All right, all right. Here's the truth, then. Here's the truth about the truth. We shouldn't have to fucking normal, either. But I shouldn't even use it as a live stream title topic. It's a stupid topic title, because what is normal even mean and who even cares? It's hardly announcement worthy that I made a title that says I can't even normal for a few minutes. Who gives a fuck whether I can normal or not? Katrina Ruth: The point is, why do we analyse these things, right? Why do we analyse it? Why do I sit out there at the pool going, oh well I should relax and just chill in the sun for a little bit because that's what you do after you've been out and about all day. And then I sit there for 10 minutes and I start to feel like ... I started to feel wound up, right? I started to feel a little bit anxious, I started to feel like ... I don't know, just kind of shitty at the world, and then I was starting to get annoyed at people talking around me, and I was feeling like, I don't know. The day felt like it was slipping away from me, right? Katrina Ruth: Like I felt like I was slipping away from my flow zone. So, earlier I said I've had an intense day. Well, I got up at seven. [Sarafina 00:20:45] arrived last night, my nanny. So, the kids are off with her this morning so I wasn't in mommy mode this morning. So, I got up, did my journaling, went to yoga, had my hair done whilst writing my blog which I posted. And then wrote on one of my books actually. Did some writing for one of my books around manifestation, and soulmate life, and then had a healing kind of coaching session for me. And then had a massage for an hour and a half, and then came back here. Katrina Ruth: But I did a whole bunch of other things, had some people, and do stuff on social media and team projects and stuff that we're working on. So, it kinda felt like a day of ... It was all structured around what I wanna do, but I also did all my shit that I always wanna do. Well, that's everyday anyway. But, then something inside of me is like, oh, well it's 3:00 PM in the afternoon, or it's 2:30 in the afternoon, and so that's a time when you should have a little rest, right? Katrina Ruth: Or if you've been at it since 6:30 AM and then you come home at three, then you should have some pause time. And many times I do. Many times I'll come home in the afternoon, or I'll have some sort of period like right now, before I'm gonna go pick up my kids from the kids club that they're hanging out at, where it's kind of like oh, this is the opportune time to meditate, or to have a nap, or to have just some peace and stillness, or maybe some reading time, but it's not like a fucking rule, right? And I think we so easily get caught up in rules in our heads that I should be able to relax, or I should be able to sit by the pool and just chill in the sun, and somehow prove to who, that I'm a normal person. Katrina Ruth: Like, who are you even trying to prove it to, right? But then you go into this weird thing of if you keep engaging in that, or you keep engaging in anything basically that's not actually flow, not actually what you want, because you're caught up in a story that this would make me a normal person, or a better person, or maybe a better mom, or better partner, or a better entrepreneur if I do these different things that other people are doing, or that have somehow developed an expectation like they do, then you just slip further and further away from flow. Katrina Ruth: And then you go into kind of resistance, and then you go into kind of a downward energy spiral where, for me, I know for sure if I would've stayed just sitting and kind of chilling, what I was doing was I'd already checked in on my team, and I'd checked in on anything important that I needed to respond to, so I was kind of jumping in and out of Facebook and Instagram, and that wasn't feeding my soul at all. It was very purposeless. Like I was actually starting to do that thing where I just checked if there was anything interesting in my notifications, and there wasn't, and then like two minutes later, I've jumped back on again. Like I'm wondering did an announcement about the fricking second coming of Jesus get put onto Facebook in the last two minutes? Katrina Ruth: And so, you're going down this little spiral pathway, and for sure, if I would've kept sitting out there, I would've basically kept doing that. Like refreshing my emails, or refreshing Facebook, or whatever. And I had my book with me, but I was disconnecting from my soul because I wasn't actually following soul flow. So, then I wasn't interested in reading the book, or reading anything on Kindle on my phone that would've been maybe uplifting or soul empowering, and if I would've continued down that, I would've probably eventually come back here and then probably been flat and down in energy, not done this live stream, maybe had a nap or something, which is fine, but not actually what was available or coming through me for today. Katrina Ruth: Because what was coming through me as I walked back to the villa earlier on, after doing all my shit from earlier, was I feel called to live stream. I feel like I'm gonna live stream. And then I went out there and made a whole story of why I couldn't, and then I was like, "Oh, well I'll just relax." And so, essentially I said no to soul, right? And when we say no to soul, when we say no to what's inside of us, then we automatically dial down all good things and all positive things. Katrina Ruth: So, really in a real sense, we actually dialled down abundance, ability to receive because we're saying no to soul. When you say yes to soul, life says yes to you. The flip side is also true. When you say no to soul, life starts to say no to you, or it just kind of like, oh, I see how you're not answering the call inside of you, you're not believing and trusting that you can say yes to whatever's coming through you, and that it always works when you say yes to soul. So, your faith is clearly like dial it down for today, so we're gonna dial down your ability to receive. Katrina Ruth: Where are you watching from? Are you right there behind that curtain? Holy shit, I thought she was in the gym. Seraphina: I'm sorry. Katrina Ruth: Well, you better come out and do a guest appearance or they're just gonna legitimately think I'm a crazy person. I just saw Seraphina jump on. I totally thought you'd already gone to the gym, you just gave me the biggest fright of my life. Seraphina: No, it's not a good moment to share. Katrina Ruth: Send the love hot shower to Seraphina Seraphina: Hi. Katrina Ruth: Here she is. Fresh from ... It's okay. Nobody wants to see their own face super close up. Seraphina: Hi. Katrina Ruth: She's fresh from Australia. Seraphina: Yeah. Katrina Ruth: I thought she'd already left for the gym. Seraphina: No, I've scared you twice now. Katrina Ruth: That's good, you gave me a nice little adrenaline boost. I thought I was all alone. Seraphina: Bye, I'm going to the gym. Katrina Ruth: See, I like how my team are like, she's right here. She's on the other side of the door. The door's closed and the curtain's closed. That's why I didn't know she was in there. And she's still watching me live streaming from inside the villa. Even though I'm actually right here in the flesh. Real. If you ever hang out with me in person, or you come to an event where I'm there, or we go to dinner together and I start live streaming, I'm gonna be very offended if you don't watch me live streaming on your own device, even if you're sitting right next to me, all right? Just so you know. Katrina Ruth: And also, the other day ... Actually, I handed over my Instagram to Sarafina two days ago and I've appointed her in charge of making it look fabulous, which she's already doing a very good job of. It's like fast shifts, as things always are, but I said to her, "Well, you can grab content that I post on Facebook and repurpose it to use it for the Instagram posts. Just whatever you think is good." And then I said, "Well, I'm not sure if you read all my content every day on Facebook, but I hope so." And she was like, "Of course I read all your content every day." Katrina Ruth: I was like, "Good, I'm glad we clarified that." It would've been extremely distressing if not. So, what were we talking about before that? All right. Dialling down abundance. Dialling down receiving. Dialling down flow. Dialling down connectedness. Basically ramping your energy down as well, and for me that's probably one of the things I guess I value the highest. I want to have great energy, I wanna feel lit up, I wanna feel inspired with my life and my day. I wanna feel like I'm charged from within and that I'm accessing creative power, and ideas flow, and source, and ability to make fast decisions. Katrina Ruth: And so, when I sit out there for 10 minutes, it seems like such a silly little thing I guess, in one sense, to be turning into an entire topic of conversation. Like, whatever Kat, big deal. Get over it. Like you don't need to make a whole song and dance about it. But actually, it was literally like deleting me? Depleting me of all the source of good stuff that I'd build up throughout the day, because all through the day I was saying yes to soul, right? It was my first day totally, really having the day to myself in a week since I came back to see my kids, and obviously I've had an amazing time with them, but I've had less time just for me. Katrina Ruth: So, today was really like okay, today I'm gonna get the kids back in the afternoon ... Actually I thought it'd be sooner than this, but little bit later now, so after this. And then, I thought up until that point in the early afternoon, I'm really just going to give myself what I need. I'm gonna get my yoga on, I'm gonna have a massage. Obviously I'm gonna do my writing, my journaling, and all my shit that I like to do. And so, I did all of that, and all of those things are like feeding into my own soul bank account, so to speak, right? Katrina Ruth: My own emotional bank account and my own energy stores, and my flow stores. So, I'm just being elevated all throughout the day, even though I'm pretty occupied all throughout the day. And then in literally five to ten minutes of sitting still and doing nothing, and trying to be like a good normal person, I start to lose all of that. My energy goes down, I feel like a bit grumpy, and I start to feel a bit shitty, I start to feel like maybe I won't go to the gym after all, because I'm basically thinking I'll go workout after this, and then it will be time to go get the kids. They've got some activities on, they don't want to come till a certain time. Right? Katrina Ruth: And so, I could feel that if I would've bought into that, I would've come back here more flattened down, probably eating some chocolate or something, which again, is not the end of the world, but it's kind of like a whole different pathway would be opened to me, and I would feel like I kinda can't be [inaudible 00:29:03] of going to the gym, and I don't really have to walk to go get the kids. I can get a taxi. And it's just kind of like you creating yourself into a whole different person, right? Katrina Ruth: Whereas because I honoured soul, and I was finally like, I got my ass up, I audioed Kelly. I was like, "Hey, if you haven't sent the daily ask agree out, you know what? I'm gonna go live after all", and I walked back here and I go live. And even then it still took me like 20 minutes or up until now, 20, 25 minutes, to actually get into flow. Now, I know, I was still doing an okay job of presenting, and I think I was being mildly funny earlier on in the live stream, but I wasn't really connected, and those of you who know me well, or even if you haven't known me for very long, you can feel my energy, you'll see difference now, right? From at the start of the live. Katrina Ruth: It took me 20 to 25 minutes to get connected to soul and into alignment and flow, and like Jamie said, the big hand gestures start coming out because I'm happy and I'm in flow. And so now, when I get off this live, well firstly I created content for my business and for my audience. To me, that's like a bonus, right? Because actually, that's not the reason I message or preach or teach. I do what I need to do for me, but I'm happy that I'm creating content and that I'm sharing a message that's gonna serve you in some way, or inspire you in some way. Katrina Ruth: It's sales activity as well. Actually, [Mim 00:30:12], you can drop the comment about Rich Hot Empire, so I'll remind you about Rich Hot Empire, my six week one on one intensive, which is open currently for April registrations. Remind you to PM me about that if you've been thinking about working with me one on one and I'll get you the whole overview of what we do in that six weeks. What it means to work with me one on one, and have me holding your hand and kicking your ass all at the same time, which is confusing but not really. It's just perfect. Katrina Ruth: So, I'm doing sales activity, right? There it is. There's the comment. Thank you, Mim. You're always on the ball. So, read that comment afterwards, right? So, just putting my message out there, putting my content out there, doing a call to action for those people who are feeling like you know what? It is fricking time to go all in. It is time to say yes to my soul. It is time to do it in six weeks working with Kat what most people will do in two weeks. Tell me more about Rich Hot Empire. If that's you, message me over on my personal Katrina Ruth page, and I'll get you all the details. Katrina Ruth: So, I'm doing content, I'm delivering value, I'm inspiring and empowering, I'm entertaining a little bit, and I'm selling, and I'm empowering and energising myself. And then after I get off this live stream, do you think I'm gonna be like, "Oh well, I'm all flat and down now. I need to sit around and eat fucking cookies before I go and get up and get my kids"? Or do you think I'm gonna walk over to the gym and have a great workout, and then probably be in the flow zone so that I'm probably gonna walk to go and pick up the children and enjoy the sunset as I walk down that way? And so on and so forth. And then be in a happy high vibe mood when I pick up my kids and engage with them, right? Katrina Ruth: And it's this whole different pathway. Like I was saying, that's open to me, just because I acknowledged that it didn't feel good for me to just sit around for five or ten minutes, and I made a choice to do something about it instead of buying into a story that ... Strut. I'll dance. I'll dance and prance while I listen to music. Actually, last night the kids and I walked home through the back alley ways, which I know this whole area so well. It's just like a second home to me. But we walked through this little dark back streets, late at night, because it was like one way and we couldn't get the car back. Normally I wouldn't make the kids walk home at night, but we did. Katrina Ruth: And we were dancing along the way to JoJo Siwa, and my little four year old son Nathan, was singing all the words to JoJo Siwa. It was hilarious. And also dancing to Havana. Havana-do-do-do ... Which I think I'm gonna dance and listen to again because it's a very sensual song, and one of my journaling intentions currently, and one of my decisions inside of my head, is that I'm becoming more sensual and sexy every day, by the day. Maybe that's why I bought the bikini as well, because it's kind of like, pretty. Katrina Ruth: So, thanks for that reminder. So, I think you got my point, right? Like really, it's so easy to tell ourselves a story that this little thing doesn't make a difference. Like, oh, I'm not really feeling in my vibe. Okay, I'm by myself at the pool so it's pretty easy to get up, right? Nobody else is depending on me to sit there, but there's many times in life where we might be at, I don't know, like maybe at a party, or a social event, or maybe even a meeting or engaging in a conversation with someone, or getting kind of reactive to what people who message you on social media, or thinking that you gotta do certain things in your business to create results and to create success. Katrina Ruth: And what's happening is you're ramping yourself down, down, down, because your soul is not saying yes to that, but your logical brain, so-called logical brain, because really logic should come from intuition. So, your head though, or some part of you, a fear based mind is saying, "Oh, well I should do this", or, "Oh well, it would be rude to say no to that person", or, "Oh well, it will be unprofessional if I don't ... if I went and did my own thing instead of responding and dealing with other people's things", and so on and so forth. Katrina Ruth: And you think maybe that you're being a good person, or a good entrepreneur, or a good mom, or that you're normaling, and that you should do that for whatever reason. Or whatever it is, but actually you're dialling down abundance. And you're dialling down receiving, and you're literally depleting and draining yourself of your natural energy source, and the natural energy source is and only can be you being connected to your own self. Katrina Ruth: So, my question to you today is, what music should I dance to while walking to pick up children? Firstly, give me your songs. But secondly, what do you need to do to connect to soul? It would be really easy for me to say oh, I don't need to do a live stream when I've already done a bunch of content earlier on in the day, and the conditions weren't really working to do it where I was at, and oh it's not that big a deal, I can just leave it. Maybe I'll live stream later on today. And it's not a big deal, except that it is in the sense that this is actually something that feeds me, and fuels me on a soul level. Katrina Ruth: So, investing this 30 minutes, or 40 minutes into live streaming, it's super cool that it's achieving all this cool stuff in my business, messaging, selling, providing value, connecting and conversing, which I like to do as well, and having engagement with you. That's really cool, but like I said, it's a bonus. The real reason to do it, and the real reason to do anything is because it's something that my soul says yes to, and in fact my entire business has been built on me really just leaning in ever more to things that my soul say yes to. Says yes to. And giving myself permission to do those things, and to allow them to not be an after thought, but to allow them to actually be the building blocks of a multimillion dollar per year empire. Which is what I've created just from following soul flow. Katrina Ruth: You know, earlier today, I posted my blog, and obviously it was a couple of thousand words as it always is ... Okay, it's hair rearranging time. Just in case you didn't know. Okay, we're good. Yeah, I post on my blog, and I'm pretty happy with my blog today. You should go check it out on my page around how to drop back in and connect to your soul when fear or self worth shit basically is kind of ruling you, and this guy who's a new connection, who came through [inaudible 00:35:51] group as a connection, who seems like a lovely guy and he messaged me and said hello and everything when we became friends. Katrina Ruth: But he commented on the blog and he was like, winky face, or smile or whatever. This would be great as a video. You know, it would be even better as a video, or something ... didn't say it would be even better. But said something about you could've said all of that in a video, smile winky face. That kind of like, that would be better or that would be more helpful for people, or it's easier to consume in a short video or something like that. And I was just like, whoa, dude ... I didn't say dude. But I did comment back and I was like, "Or, I could just fucking be myself and this is how I built a multimillion dollar empire, so thank you, but no thank you. Don't tell me how to do a better job of being me." Katrina Ruth: Ni haven't even read all these comments back, but he's kind of like, "Oh no, I'm not trying to attack you. I just think you could've said all that in a short video", or whatever. I'm like, "Oh my God, you so don't get this", right? But you get this. But maybe you're not living according to this, which is why I'm bring up that story and saying this. Thing is, it's not following the rule so of the online space to write a long blog post and post it every single day, 365 days a year. It's also not following the rules of how to supposedly build a following, or sell shit online, to do a live stream that goes for this long nearly every day, but also I'm so rambly, like I just talk about so much irrelevant stuff, or I jump all over the place, or I'm telling silly jokes or whatever. Katrina Ruth: None of the way that I do content follows any sort of formula, or any sort of rule book, and it actually breaks all the rules, but all I've done is gradually more and more along the way, given myself permission to just let whatever's in me come out. And the point that I was trying to explain to him, which he just didn't get, and I was just writing back quickly while I was waiting for my massage anyway, so I might go back and do it properly later, is no, it doesn't fucking matter if I could've said all of that in a short video. Yes, I could, yes, thank you for saying that people would like to watch me on a video. I appreciate the compliment. Katrina Ruth: But that's not the point. The point is that that message came out in the form that it did. It came out as a long blog post. This is coming out as a rambly live stream, which is gradually getting more and more into flow. And all the other things that I do are coming out however they come out, and I don't question it. I don't edit it. I don't filter it. I don't worry about if it's good enough or who's gonna be listening or watching, or what makes one live stream better than another. I just let the message be the message, and if you wanna build a business and a life based on you doing your purpose work, making money doing what you love, getting paid to just be you, literally just getting to wake up each day, open your mouth, your heart and your soul, and whatever comes out, comes out. Katrina Ruth: Then it's going to require you to say yes to all of that on repeat, not just when it feels like oh, that is a good topic, or that feels like you know, safe or a good idea or whatever. But every day, whatever's coming out is what gets to come out, right? And so, that in turn depends on all these different moments throughout your day, where you're either saying yes to soul and you're getting your ass up, and you're pressing go live even though you don't really feel in the zone, which is how I felt. Like, ugh, I feel like I've lost my live stream vibe a little bit again. Ugh, it's gonna be clunky, and then it freaking was, but now here we are, right? Katrina Ruth: Or it felt that way to me. Whether or not to you. It felt uncomfortable, and I felt self conscious for the first 20 minutes of the live stream. So, you can either ... I don't know whatever I was saying just then. You can either say no to the little messages and the flow that's coming through you because you feel like, oh, I don't really feel like it today. Or it feels a bit awkward, or maybe that's a silly topic, or somebody said that I shouldn't write one blog post and it would be better on a short video, or my hair doesn't look good, or whatever story you're telling yourself for the day. Katrina Ruth: But not only you're not gonna not gonna not create the business and the life that you wanted, that you're actually destined to, because you're not saying yes to soul, but you're really, truly gonna ramp down all those other things that we spoke about before. It's like there's a big old abundance switch on the wall, and you're just like no thank you. Disconnect, right? So, if you wanna connect to the abundance switch ... Hey Red. If you wanna connect into receiving, if you wanna connect into freaking money making and results based on you being you, guess what? You're gonna have to be you. There's really no other way to do it. Katrina Ruth: But also, and I feel more importantly, you wanna be in flow for your life, and lit up for your life, and feel happy, and feel energised, and feel like you can show up for the important people in your life, and give them the best parts of you. The only way to do that is for you to give yourself the best parts of you as well, which means that if you're a creative person like me, who has a high desire to be seen and heard, and to express and share their message with the world, then honour it. Fricking honour it, and make space for it, and just choose that you're not gonna buy into stories that now is not a good time, I don't feel like it, the lighting's not good, I feel self conscious, or it doesn't feel like a good topic, or it just didn't kind of work out today. Katrina Ruth: Here's how to know, right? It's very simple. When you feel like that kind of tug or that call from within, like say this thing, post this thing, or create this offer to sell, or do this live stream, or reach out to that person, you feel a sense ... it might be small, but you feel a sense of expansion and upliftedness, even at the idea of it. You can feel the vibe of how it's gonna elevate and expand you. And then on the other hand, if you buy into some sort of mindset of I can't, or I shouldn't, or it's not right, or it's not appropriate, or it's not time, you can feel it. You feel a slight compression. Katrina Ruth: You might be really good at ignoring it and telling yourself it's fine, but you know, right? You can feel yourself shrink a little bit, or go into contraction a little bit, and it feels sad and heavy. And it's not just about that one moment. What's the cumulative affect of all of that, right? What is the awful cumulative affect of day in and day out saying no to your soul? It's sadness, it's depression, it's binge eating or binge whatever else, it's addiction, it's sabotage, it's anger and resentment, and frustration at other people around you, it's ... Katrina Ruth: Well, not making the fricking money and doing your soul purpose work and getting paid for it. It's not having the body you want, it's not having the sex life you want, it's not sleeping properly, all these things are connected. I know there's many other things that go into each of those other things I just listed as well. But honestly, one way to really activate everything working is be in fucking alignment. Say yes to your soul, right? Katrina Ruth: So, then the flip side is that the cumulative effects of saying yes to your soul, even though you feel silly a lot of time, or it doesn't feel convenient, or it doesn't feel as you're getting the result that you wanted straight away or whatever, like that. But the cumulative affect over time is you create the life you fucking want, but you also get to experience and live in all the emotions that we all desire. You know, anything that you're thinking about that you think you want, like money, a big following, your shit selling, having a certain type of body, or relationship, or life, or whatever, that's only ... Katrina Ruth: That's a reflection of ... or what you really want is beyond that, right? What you really want is underneath that, it's the way you wanna feel, the emotions. So, we wanna feel fulfilled, we wanna feel lit up, we wanna feel happy, we wanna feel free, we wanna feel expansive, we wanna feel proud of ourselves, and whatever else comes up for you. And all of those emotions are available to you right now. Right now, right? Katrina Ruth: You can literally access all of that. You can actually access it without doing anything. Without fucking live stream or going to the gym, but it's gonna be a hell of a lot easier to just say yes to the guidance that's coming through you, because all of this stuff, those little messages from inside saying do this, say that, put that out there, that's actually just your sign post. That's the fricking blueprint for accessing super flow and accessing all things. Katrina Ruth: All right? So, there we go. That's our flow conversation for today. And here's what else. Rich Hot Empire, I did mention it before. This is such a powerful transformative programme. I've taken so many amazing badass people through this programme. It's six weeks with me one on one. We're starting April 30, so registration is currently open. Places are already selling. I believe we've sold ... I've only opened it a few days ago, and I haven't really spoken about it in a big way. I haven't been doing as many live streams, actually, and talking as much while I've been back with my little kids the last few days, but I think we've already got five or six places filled. Katrina Ruth: It will sell out. It's 20 places only. It always sells out. So, there's still about 10 days before we begin. But definitely you wanna be messaging me about it right away if it's something that is speaking to you, and also that we can obviously start that conversation. I can give you ... If you message me over on my personal page, my personal Katrina Ruth page, is better. I just prefer to communicate there. You can message here as well and I'll still answer you. But I just go on my personal page a lot more. Right? Katrina Ruth: And I'll send you the overview. So, what it is is a six week structured, plus six weeks one on one with me. So, the way that I do this one on one intensive is I have created six weeks of structured content going through everything you need to know to call in and build your core tribe, to create a multi seven figure empire and beyond, selling low right through to high end products. And to find a way to make money doing what you love completely on your terms. Katrina Ruth: This works on repeat. I've been running this programme since April of 2016. It is the only programme that I run on repeat. I always create new things, but Rich Hot Empire is so fucking good, and the results are so fricking epic, I have clients who jump in there who are completely at ground zero when they start out. Sometimes not even a Facebook page, and I've had several people who are already doing over seven figures a year, over a million dollars a year when they became Rich Hot Empire clients. Katrina Ruth: And it doesn't matter that people are at such different starting places. It's about who you are as a person. And people who come into Rich Hot Empire and say yes to their soul, and let me kick their ass into alignment and massive fucking action, the results are fucking phenomenal. We've got crazy awesome money results, but more importantly, I think, I believe, and I feel like you'll agree, alignment results, shifts, expansion, all those things, right? Katrina Ruth: So, often times people come out and they'll share their biggest takeaway, or their testimonial, I guess. And it's generally they'll say something like this is totally not what I expected, but holy shit this has changed my life. It's the most transformative six weeks ever, and just a whole bunch of really cool shit. It is an incredible programme that fucking works. If you have been thinking about working with me one on one, and maybe you're not quite ready to jump into the inner circle, which is my ongoing 12 months, highest level mentoring one on one, Rich Hot Empire is about place to start. It's the best place to start. Katrina Ruth: And then some people continue on into the inner circle after that. But either way, what we're doing in those six weeks is honestly more than what most people would do in a two year period online, and I can say that with certainty, because most people are fucking around watching freaking cat videos, or freaking out about whether Mark Zuckerberg's gonna shut Facebook down. Or, just doing a whole bunch of shit that maybe somebody's told you you've gotta do to stand out online and to build a following and get paid, and it's not true. Katrina Ruth: So, what I do is I come in and I show you exactly what to do, and exactly how to do it from the structure and strategy side of things, take you fully behind the scenes in my business, give you so many fricking resources. Everything from how to create your office, how to launch, how to build your following, any kind of how thing that you might wanna think about, is covered. And you get access to all that content for life. And if there was anything that wasn't covered, I would create it for you as a training, or my team would as well so you have support through my team there as well. Facebook ads training, funnels, I mean, I don't even know or remember all the stuff, right? Katrina Ruth: You'll never even use all the stuff that's in there, but what I did is I created everything for my private clients so that you've got it all there, so that we can then launch most of it and focus on the deep inner transformative work, so that's what you and I will be doing together one on one, through our one on one calls, but also you get daily unlimited access to me over my private client channel, so we do daily audios, messages, whatever you need to talk to me about. Katrina Ruth: Lisa says, "Rich Hot Empire is amazing." Thank you. Yeah. And so that gives you a bit of an overview of it. And so I wanted to create a structured programme, and I did create structure so that when you're coming into this, you're gonna really know like yes, all my questions are answered and I'll be showing you exactly what to do and how to do it on the building of the business side of things, but also the one on one, right? And the one on one side of things is unlimited access to me. Katrina Ruth: You're also getting to go into a mastermind with my other private Rich Hot Empire clients, and we do weekly mastermind hot seat calls as well. And there's other things additionally to that. So, what you should do, is if you wanna know more, if you have thought about working with me one on one, or you're feeling like you're thinking about it right now, message me. I'll get you a proper overview of everything that goes on in that six weeks, and then obviously we can talk about costs and all that good stuff as well. Katrina Ruth: Have an amazing rest of the day wherever you are in the world. Go and do something that your soul is saying yes to. When you say yes to your soul, life says yes to you. And don't forget, life is now. Press play.
