Is Sex one of your favorite ways to meet people? Sultry midwest feminist and sex-positive realtor Sara Lederach is a mother and wife who had squished herself small to serve others, but everything changes when she opens up her failing marriage, gets on Tinder, and meets the love of her life, Chuck. So when Sara reveals that she has fully functional diphallia, he rewards her bravery with the ultimate in fantasy fulfillment: a custom DP. Because isn't that what love is, really?   Song: ‘Believe in Yourself' (Shirley Gnome)   About the Storyteller:   Long time Bawdy listener, first time Bawdy story submitter Sara Lederach is an artist, mama and realtor based in Nashville, TN. Sara is a big fan of creatively designed lives, which she feels plays into the spaces we live in and the way we relate to one another. In her free time you can find her hiking, sequestered in her studio with piles of fabric, or digging through dead people's things at estate sales. Being a sex-positive realtor is Sara's of my greatest delights; her first couple of transactions originated in that space. Sara is your go-to if you need exposed beams for suspension play or if you just need more space because your polycule is changing.   Uterine Didelphys l Double Penetration l Threesome l Fantasy l Open Relationship l Hotel Room l Septum l 2 Vaginas l Google Spreadsheet l Abortion l Bang l Filet O'Fish l Menstrual Blood l Blindfold l Country Music l Musician l Favorite Vagina l Masturbate l Pandemic l Speculum l Connection l Home l Flight Attendant l Nashville l Vulnerable l Apologize l Isolation l Russian Nesting Doll l Partnership   Episode links:   Bawdy Storytelling Live Shows: We're On Tour!   September 6th, 2024: CHICAGO, IL   Tickets at https://bit.ly/BawdyChicago2024   This Friday, Bawdy will on the Heath MainStage, at the beautiful Den Theater in Chicago!

Key Points Discussed:1. **Definition of Conversions and Key Events**:  - Historically, conversions were straightforward leads, typically tracked when someone filled out a form on a website.  - Now, Google refers to them as events or key events, emphasizing the importance of tracking user interactions before and after a lead is registered. This includes actions like scrolling, clicking buttons, or visiting specific links, which can indicate user interest in your service.2. **Value of Key Events**:  - Not every click results in a lead, but user behavior can indicate engagement.  - For instance, a user who reads all the content and spends time on the site is more engaged than one who leaves immediately.  - Assigning values to these events can help measure engagement. For example, low-value events like scrolling or clicking might be valued at £1.3. **Lead Generation Events**:  - In the context of lead generation for brokers and advisers, the primary key event is capturing the lead, which holds a higher value, approximately £50.  - This differentiation helps prioritize actions that contribute directly to generating leads.4. **Tracking Offline Events**:  - For clients who prioritize quality over quantity, it's essential to report the outcomes of leads back to Google Ads.  - A traffic light system (red, amber, green) can be used to indicate lead quality, providing valuable feedback on which clicks lead to business, which have potential, and which are dead ends.5. **Methods for Tracking Key Events**:  - There are multiple ways to track conversions, but using the Google tag is Google Ads' preferred method.  - Even if you're already using Google Analytics, integrating the GTag method ensures comprehensive data collection.  - Creating offline conversions involves using automation tools like Airtable and Make.com, particularly useful for managing multiple accounts and clients.  - For simpler setups, a Google Spreadsheet can suffice, and adding precise processing and advice fees can refine the value tracking.By understanding and implementing these strategies, you can enhance your Google Ads campaigns, better track user engagement, and ultimately improve your return on investment.Brought to you from the team at The Lead Engine who specialise in lead generation, web design and content marketing for financial services.

Episode 202 contains the Digital Marketing News and Updates from the week of Mar 4-8, 2024.1. IndexNow Insights & Top SEO Insights Report - In an announcement at PubCon and then shared on the Bing blog by Fabrice Canel, Principal Product Manager at Microsoft Bing, Bing Webmaster Tools has introduced new insights and reports aimed at enhancing site performance across Bing and general search engines. The new IndexNow Insights report, now offers more than just a glimpse into URLs submitted through IndexNow; it provides:Learn about issues with crawled URLs and the status of your submitted URLs.Receive detailed reports on the number of URLs submitted, crawled, and indexed.Learn about your latest 1000 submitted URLs, including their index status, first indexed date, and whether they were submitted late.Get insights into the source of your URL submissions, whether through Cloudflare, WordPress, manual submission, or other means.With the "Important URLs Missing" tab, find out which newly discovered links are getting clicked but were not recently visible in IndexNow, helping you to better optimize your content and identify any technical issues.Get detailed information on individual errors, including content quality, robots disallowed, not crawled, indexed, and deadlinks. View a list of problematic URLs and steps to fix them.Drill-down for further details on non-indexed URLs, sample URLs, submission times, and mitigation steps to getting URLs indexed.Export indexing trends for further analysis or reporting.With IndexNow reaching 2.5 billion URLs submitted—up from 1.2 billion six months ago—and accounting for 17% of new URLs clicked in web search results, as stated by Canel, the importance of adopting this protocol cannot be overstated. 2. YouTube's Algorithm Insights for Creators - In a recent conversation on the Creator Insider channel, Renee Richie, a creator liaison, delves into the intricacies of YouTube's algorithm with Todd, who leads the Growth and Discovery team at YouTube. The discussion focuses on clarifying common misconceptions creators have about the algorithm and offers valuable insights into optimizing content for better visibility and engagement.The algorithm, contrary to popular belief, evaluates videos on an individual basis rather than assessing the overall performance of a channel. This approach ensures that a single off-topic viral video or a poorly received video does not adversely affect the channel's standing with the algorithm. Todd emphasizes the importance of aligning content with audience interests to maintain and enhance video performance.One of the most enlightening points made during the discussion is the concept that YouTube does not push videos to viewers; instead, it pulls videos based on viewer preferences. This viewer-centric approach means that the algorithm is activated when a user visits YouTube, making recommendations based on the user's history, device, and other contextual factors. Such insights underscore the importance for creators to focus on creating content that resonates with their audience, rather than trying to game the system.Another key takeaway is the algorithm's persistent support for videos, regardless of their immediate performance. Todd reassures creators that a video's success is not confined to its initial launch period. YouTube continues to recommend videos over time, adapting to shifts in viewer interests and trends. This perspective encourages creators to remain patient and not to disregard videos that do not perform well initially.The conversation also touches on the dynamics of content strategy, highlighting the necessity for creators to adapt to changing viewer preferences, such as the rising popularity of short-form content. Recognizing and responding to these shifts, and understanding the competitive landscape, can significantly influence a creator's success on the platform.Creators are advised to analyze their content's performance, especially how it's received by subscribers, to identify areas for improvement. This process can help pinpoint issues related to content packaging or delivery that might affect viewer engagement.In summary, the discussion between Renee and Todd sheds light on the operational principles of YouTube's algorithm, debunking myths and providing creators with a clearer path to optimizing their content strategy. Understanding that the algorithm favors content that meets viewer demands and preferences can empower creators to produce more engaging and successful videos.3. Local Services Ads Verification to Combat Spam - On March 4, 2024, Google updated the verification process for Local Services Ads (LSAs), aimed at enhancing security and trustworthiness among users and advertisers. This update, first rolling out in smaller U.S. states and progressively expanding to larger ones throughout the year, introduces a stringent verification procedure that includes identity checks alongside the existing license verifications for professionals featured in LSAs, such as lawyers.The revised verification process is Google's response to the growing concern over spam and fraudulent activities within the LSA program. By enforcing identity verification, Google intends to safeguard consumers from impersonators posing as licensed professionals. This move ensures that only verified business owners or senior partners, along with their affiliated professionals, are eligible to appear in LSAs, thereby enhancing the integrity of the ads shown to users.Affected advertisers are notified via email, with instructions on completing the verification process through Google's partner, Evident. Failure to comply within a specified timeframe results in the removal of the ads from search results, impacting the visibility and potential reach of the business. This initiative reflects Google's commitment to improving the LSA ecosystem, protecting both consumers and legitimate advertisers from the adverse effects of deceptive practices.4. "Solutions": Google Ads' Latest Innovation to Streamline Ad Management - Google Ads has announced "Solutions." This new tool is designed to simplify and automate the management of Google Ads accounts, offering a seamless experience for advertisers. Accessible for free under the "Tools" section in Google Ads, Solutions empowers users with the ability to generate comprehensive reports, automate basic management tasks, and much more, all tailored to enhance campaign performance relative to business goals.

Daniel Pope ist der Gründer von Be Known, einer Marketingfirma, die Kleinunternehmern und Rednern hilft, ihr Geschäft auszubauen. Tipp 1: Seien Sie authentisch und ethisch. Zeigen Sie Ihren Kunden, dass Sie sich wirklich um ihr Geschäft kümmern und nicht nur Geld verdienen wollen. Ermitteln Sie anhand Ihrer Eigenschaften, Ihres Hintergrunds und Ihres Fachwissens Ihre "idealen Leute" - das ist Ihre wichtigste Kundenzielgruppe. Finden Sie heraus, wo sich Ihre ideale Zielgruppe aufhält, und bauen Sie Beziehungen zu ihnen auf, denn sie werden später zu Kunden und Empfehlern. (Aus dem Buch "Ready, Fire, Aim" von Michael Masterson) Vergrössern Sie Ihre E-Mail-Liste, indem Sie ein kostenloses Produkt oder einen Lead-Magneten verschenken - einen hilfreichen Informationsleitfaden. (Das Beispiel von Daniel Pope ist "Wie man ein Restaurant in 60 Tagen in 12 Schritten umkrempelt") Eintritt in Facebook-Gruppen: Beobachten Sie zunächst, was die Leute posten und kommentieren, anstatt sofort Ihre Dienste anzubieten. Vermeiden Sie den alten und aggressiven "Autoverkäufer-Ansatz". Sie können Facebook-Gruppenadministratoren direkt kontaktieren, eine Beziehung zu ihnen aufbauen und dann Ihre Dienste anbieten. Scheuen Sie sich nicht Ihr Netzwerk aufzubauen, in dem Sie an persönlichen Veranstaltungen teilnehmen, z. B. durch den Beitritt zu einem Fachverband. Denn nicht alle Menschen sind in den sozialen Medien aktiv. Tipp 2: Erwerben Sie sich Marketing-Kenntnisse. Identifizieren Sie, welche Marketingstrategien anwendbar sind: a. B to C oder Business to Customer - Facebook-Anzeigenoder Google Ads b.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Lead exposure: a shallow cause exploration, published by JoelMcGuire on April 11, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary This shallow cause area report explores the impact of lead exposure in childhood on subjective wellbeing (SWB) in adulthood. It was completed in two weeks. We performed non-systematic searches to estimate the impact of lead exposure on SWB and to find potential cost-effective interventions. We found studies investigating two correlational longitudinal cohorts (following children to adulthood) from New Zealand and Australia analysing the relationship between childhood blood lead levels (BLLs) and adult affective mental health (MHa). Based on this data, our best guess estimate is that an additional microgram of lead per deciliter of blood for each year for ten years of childhood, leads to a total lifelong (62 years) loss of 1.5 WELLBYs, and a larger overall 3.8 WELLBYs loss when we include some guesses about household spillovers. Hence, we estimate that a modest amount of lead exposure severely impacts on wellbeing across the lifespan. From several back of the envelope calculations, we tentatively conclude that lead-reducing interventions would be 1 to 107 times more cost-effective than cash transfers. Advocacy against lead in paint, food, cookware, and cosmetics seems particularly promising. The scarcity of causal and context relevant data means that we are very uncertain about the effect and cost-effectiveness of these interventions. But, given the potentially high cost-effectiveness, we think this is a promising area for additional research. We especially encourage further research into the causal relationship between lead exposure and SWB and the most common sources of lead exposure to reduce uncertainty about the cost-effectiveness of lead interventions. It's unclear if the top organisations working to reduce lead exposure, like Pure Earth or the Lead Exposure Elimination Project (LEEP), have sizable funding gaps. Therefore, we're unsure how much more work should be done to evaluate funding opportunities related to reducing lead exposure for philanthropists aiming to maximise their impact. Notes This report focuses on the impact of lead exposure in terms of WELLBYs. One WELLBY is a 1 life satisfaction point change for one year (or any equivalent combination of change in life satisfaction and time). In some cases, we convert results in standard deviations of SWB to WELLBYs using a 2 point standard deviation on 0-10 life satisfaction scales (i.e., 1 SD change is the equivalent of 2 point changes on a 0-10 life satisfaction scale). We consider the limitations of converting from affective mental health measures to WELLBYs in Appendix A4. This naive conversion is based on estimates from large scale data sets like the World Happiness Reports. See our post on the WELLBY method for more details. Our calculations and data extraction can be found in this Google Spreadsheet and this GitHub repository. The shallowness of this investigation means (1) we include more guesses and uncertainty in our models, (2) we couldn't always conduct the most detailed or complex analyses, (3) we might have missed some data, and (4) we take some findings at face value. Clare Donaldson was co-director of HLI before becoming the current co-director of the Lead Exposure Elimination Project. We do not think this influenced our choices or analysis. Outline In Section 1 we introduce the issue of lead exposure and define some key terms we will use throughout the rest of this report. In Section 2 we explain the mechanisms for how lead exposure could affect wellbeing. In Section 3 we model the harm of lead exposure on subjective wellbeing using studies of two datasets from New Zealand and Australia (n = 789) relating childhood lead exposure to their adult affective mental heal...

OPTIMIZE with Brian Johnson | More Wisdom in Less Time

Want to Get 998,822,690,009,590 Times Better?   In our last +1, we talked about Brian Cain's wisdom on The 1% Intention.   Let's review the math.    There are 24 hours in a day. 60 minutes per hour. That's 1,440 minutes per day.   1% of that?   14 minutes and 24 seconds.   1% of your day.   Here's the question: What's the #1 thing you KNOW you could be doing that, if you spent just 1% of your day doing it, would have THE most positive impact in your life?   Seriously. What is it?   How can YOU invest just 1% of your day into getting 1% better Today?   Think about it.   And…   As you do, let's think about some James Clear wisdom on the subject to bring the point home—because the math is CRAZY.   Actually…   Before we go there…   I have to say that I want your potential investment of 1% of your day into HEROIC to be (goosebumps) at least considered as one of the highest-leverage things you could do to improve your life 1%.   14 minutes and 24 seconds.   Choose your own adventure with how you want to split that up in the app.   Of course, you can get “more wisdom in less time” (Theory!) via these +1s, the PhilosophersNotes, 101s, Basic Training and Mastery Series to make sure you have the right strategies.    And, if you feel so inspired, I think you'd be wise to consider a few minutes invested into the Target PRACTICE side of things as this will, in my opinion, always be THE HIGHEST LEVERAGE thing you can do as committing to being our best selves then actually doing the things that help us close the gap between who we're capable of being and who we're actually being is how we'll move from Theory to PRACTICE to Mastery Together TODAY.   Again, early research shows that spending just a few minutes a day using the Heroic app to hit just 3+ Heroic Targets in your Big 3 protocol can help you boost your Energy by 40%, your Productivity by 20% and your connection by 15%.    So…   LET'S GO, HERO!!!   Now…   Back to the math…   Here's how James puts it in his brilliant book Atomic Habits.   He tells us: “It is so easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small improvements on a daily basis. Too often, we convince ourselves that massive success requires massive action. Whether it is losing weight, building a business, writing a book, winning a championship, or achieving any other goal, we put pressure on ourselves to make some earth-shattering improvement that everyone will talk about.   Meanwhile, improving 1 percent isn't particularly notable—sometimes it isn't even noticeable—but it can be far more meaningful, especially in the long run. The difference a tiny improvement can make over time is astounding. Here's how the math works out: if you can get 1 percent better each day for one year, you'll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you're done. Conversely, if you get 1 percent worse each day for one year, you'll decline nearly down to zero. What starts as a small win or a minor setback accumulates into something much more.   Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement. The same way that money multiplies through compound interest, the effects of your habits multiply as you repeat them. They seem to make little difference on any given day and yet the impact they deliver over the months and years can be enormous. It is only when looking back two, five, or perhaps ten years later that the value of good habits and the cost of bad ones becomes strikingly apparent.”   1% gains aggregated and compounded for a year equals an astonishing 37x improvement.   And... As I say in our Notes on Atomic Habits, create a spreadsheet (like this) and run that 1% daily improvement out for another year.    Guess what? After two years, you're not 74 times better. You're now 1,400 (!!) times better.   Why stop there? Run it out another year. After the third year of aggregating and compounding those 1% gains, you're now 53,405 times better. Four years? You're 2,017,828 times better. Five years? You're 76,240,507 times better.   Shall we run it 10 years out? OK. Let's.    Result: Well, on day 3,472 we hit our last normal number. We're 998,822,690,009,590 times better. (That's nearly a quadrillion times better by the way.)    Then we break our Google Spreadsheet by day 3,650 when we're at 5.87074E+15. I don't even know what that means but I assume it's even more zeroes. (Hah. )   All that to say: Little things matter. A lot. Especially when we compound them over time.    Let's use 1% of our day to +1%.    TODAY.

The Option Genius Podcast: Options Trading For Income and Growth

Allen: All right, everybody, welcome passive traders. I have one of my good friends with me today, Denny is going to be here. He's going to be talking about trading life in general, and everything that he's learned along the way. Denny, you know, we've, you've been in our programs for a little bit now we've seen your success. And I'm, we're friends on Facebook. So I see you with your posts from Hawaii, sitting on a beach house and all that and we're on the coaching calls, you're always you know, you're always making me jealous. You're always like, "well, I'm going to Hawaii next week, or I'm going on vacation. I'm going golfing". I'm like, Come on, man. So I'm glad that we finally got to talk, you know, thank you for thank you for taking the time to be out here and talk with us. And I can't wait to learn from you. Denny: Okay. Well, the way I you know, the way I originally got hooked up with you is I saw one of your marketing deals on the internet. And I thought, you know, well, you know, let's give this a look. And so I talked with Cory and and I said to her, hey, look, you know, I've got I said, I'd like an honest answer that if I come in and buy the program and everything, and I've got $10,000. Is it possible for me to make $2,000 a month on the $10,000? And she said, Well, we've got people doing it. She was very honest. You know, and then so so I got in on the oil deal. One. I think it's blank check trading is that was the oil is. And boy, I learned a whole lot. The first year, I was just sailing along making money hand over fist. And that was when oil was not very volatile. And it was just making, you know, moving sideways, which is perfect for if you want to trade oil futures, you know, it's perfect. Allen: Yeah. Yeah. All markets are our friend.  Denny: And, and then all of a sudden, oil shot up. And I think it was November two years ago might have been three. Now I know I've been doing it quite a while. All of a sudden, I went in. And I looked and the market had dropped. And I and I was in a position where I was going to end up getting a margin call. So I liquidated my position was $4,700 that day, and I'll be damned the next day, boom, it pops right back up. And that was the day after Thanksgiving. And then on the next call, you talked about the Friday after Thanksgiving is not a very high volume deal. And so one big guy in there can make the market he can make it drop, you can make it rise, and I fell prey to that because I didn't know but you know, you can learn from your mistakes. And I made made plenty of them. But now I make money every month. Allen: That 4700, did that wipe you out? Denny: Out? No, no, I had 10 Okay. Okay, so I started all back over. And it took me it took me damn near a year to get it to get it back. And in the meantime, you had your program on stocks. Okay, so I signed up for that. And I fooled around with the stocks for a while and I went back to oil because to me, it's a little more passive where I can put a trade on and I will look at it once a week you know, and I feel comfortable with it. But then what happened is we got get them the next chapter Benny Alan COVID here. And my advertising agency that I own I do direct mail advertising for automotive industry. And I don't know if you've been reading but the car dealers don't have any new cars. Allen: Yeah, they don't need advertising. Denny: So, I my business the first year of COVID was down 2,000,400 and some $1,000 Right now, the second year is about 2.8 million and now we're into the third year of the car shortage and so far this year I'm down $1,976,000 From where my normal years would be so I went from a mid six figure income guaranteed down I collected my Social Security check with my wife, okay. And so I go okay, let's start fooling around with your knowledge with oil and with stock options and get yourself a little income so I took $25,000 out of our savings account and put it into my tasty works account and I make on an average trading two ETFs and oil and I just started doing spreads on weekly options in oil and that I've been doing okay on it but you got to watch that a little quicker because you'll, you can get caught up in a margin call on everything pretty quick on that. But since I have no other job, okay, I can watch it. You know, I just make sure that that when I go to the golf course on my daily trip I've got my phone with me. And I can hop in on the tasty works phone app and protect myself if I need to. But what I learned most from you was paid.. Allen: So how are you doing there? So you're like, Okay, so you Alright, so I'm following the story. Right? So you were you were learning like, you've been in our program, I think two years. So three, three, okay, three. So you learn how to do the oil you were doing great. And then you had one bad day where it crashed and you basically went back to zero and you had to start over? Right so that at least you didn't lose it you had you know you get back your gains then you know COVID hit so you had to basically all hands on deck for the business trying to figure that out. Now you're at the point where like, okay, you know what, I got this stuff that I know how to do let me see if I can make some money on the side. So you've been trading oil you've been doing you said you doing 2 ETFs. So what are you doing on? Yeah, what type I do? I do SPX and (inaudible). So what strategy are you doing on those? Okay, well, Denny: Let's go back to my educational background. Okay. Okay. I have a master's degree in Environmental Engineering. My master's thesis was the statistical modeling of dam failures due to excess runoff. Okay, so I'm a numbers guy, a numbers game, I understand standard deviations, regression lines, Bayesian coordinates, you know, all of this fancy mathematics that all of these indicators that when they write them, you know, I know how they get there. So I started looking at the stuff and I started looking for patterns, because standard deviation and stuff like that is nothing other than patterns, okay, that create a probability statement of the same thing occurring, okay. So, I started looking and I found the correlation between the VIX that, you know, on the CMOE, right, the VIX, right? And what happens with it? And so, I take the VIX and say it was it traded at 2588 and open this morning at 2588. I can't I can't remember exactly what it is. I go in, and I divide the VIX by 16. Now, why do I divide by 16? Allen: I have no idea. Denny: There are 256 trading days in the market. Right? The square root of 256 is 16. Okay. So I take the 68 divided by 16. And that gives me a percentage that's 87% accurate as to the upward or downward movement of SPX or rut on a daily basis. From what it opens that not what it closed that yesterday. But when the opening bell dings like, this morning, yesterday, right? Close to 1806. Okay. But this morning, when the bell rang, it was 1843 just for a short period of time until the CPI stuff caught up in the rear end dropped out of it. Okay, right. But so what I do is I go in and take what it opens at, and take the percentage and what it opens at, say it's one point it was 1.61 today, so you take 1.61% of the opening bell, and you subtract that from what it opened that and you add it to what it opened that and you gives you a high and a low rate. Okay? Allen: Say that again, do make doing so. Okay. The VIX divided by 16. Okay, then what do you do that? Denny: Okay, you multiply that the 1.61% Okay? Times when it opened that, okay, and that comes out to roughly what, close to 30 bucks. I don't have my calculator here. Okay. So you would take, you would take it and if it opened at 1843, you take the 30 off of that, that would be 1813. And then you take the 1843 and add the 32, which would be 1873. So that means that you've got an 87 point something percent chance that the right is going to close somewhere between the 1813 and 1873. Okay, okay, so now, we wait until the Between 1030 and 11 o'clock central time, okay. And the reason that I wait until then, is if you look, the market goes in and opens it bounces up and down. And if it's on the way up between 1030 and 11 o'clock you have what what usually happens and happens most days is a mid morning reversal of some sort where people are in taking profits or, or getting rid of losses. So okay. And at that point, it gives you a direction of the momentum of the market for the rest of the day. And the rest of the day barring no news or anything, it pretty much goes sideways or slightly up or slightly down. And I go in and sell a put put spread or a call spread at the bottom or the top that was ranges away from the way the momentum of the markets going. And I do that on a daily basis. Allen: So if you think is going down you sell calls if you think it's going up you sell puts at the end of that range. So is that like you said 87% So what is that like as like one and a half standard deviation?  Denny: One and a half standard deviations?  Allen: Okay. All right. But but why do you do the VIX because what does the VIX have to do with the rut? The VIX is based on the VIX, SPX the VIX Denny: Gives you the volatility, the market as a whole. Allen: Right. But it has to do with the volatility of the SPX, the RUT has its own.. Denny: Okay, okay. But the RUT is based on 2000 stocks, okay. And vix takes into account the volatility of what's happening in the 2000 stocks, the Dow Jones and the standards and poors. The way they calculate the bets, Allen: Okay, because I thought the VIX was just only on the SPX the 500. The large ones. Denny: Yeah, yeah. Well, but it is, but they just weren't right. There's yeah, there's a there's a correlation between what's happening in SPX and what happens in RUT. Okay. Allen: Yeah, they're, yeah, okay. Right. They are correlated. So it just it just happened correlated workout, right?  Denny: And it's just and it's just like if you want to see what's going on with gonna happen for disaster time, with the SPX. Go in and look at what's going on with QQQ. If QQQ is dropping, you better watch yourself on the SPX, with about, I forget what percentage of the SPX is Fang stocks now? Right? Yeah. Okay. Allen: So how long? How long have you been doing this? Denny: I've been doing for about four months. Allen: Four months. Okay. And you back tested it? Denny: Yeah. Oh, yeah. I spent a couple, couple $100 and got some good back testing software and back tested it. And if you go through the thing and wins about 80 some percent of the time, okay. Allen: And how much are you trying to make on each trade? Denny: Okay, I'm trying to make 4% Three and a half to 4% on a trade, okay. Allen: And these are weekly trades or daily trades daily. So you want the SPX, Denny: The SPX, the SPX has a closing every day. Okay, Allen: So these are at the close. Yes. Okay. Denny: And the rut has Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So I only trade the rut on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Allen: Cool. So now your results been so far? Denny: That I'm doubling my money every month. Allen: Wow. 100% every month? Denny:  When Putin cut the pipeline off, okay. And the market and the rear end fell out of the market that day. I was at my computer when it started happening. And I closed everything out. If if I hadn't closed it out, I probably would have lost about three or 4000 that day, but I don't you know, what I do, Allen is I take a future value calculator, okay. And if this month, I want to make $10,000. I plug in $10,000. And I put three and a half percent of $10,000 times 21 or 22 trading days. And I print it out. And it tells me how much I need to make each day in order for that to occur. And then I keep a spreadsheet that I'm plus or minus off of the predicted number that I was supposed to be asked. And I adjust my trading from there now like right now for this month. So far. I'm up 900 bucks as a closing day. So I'm actually today is the 13th. Yeah, and I'm actually to where the tweet where I should be on the 20th of them. month. Okay, so if I think the markets going to be a little volatile or, or there might be some bad news coming, I can lay off, okay, and skip a day and see what's happening. Okay. That's where what you taught me is the patience. Is that it? You don't have to do it every day. Allen: Right? Right. So okay, so you're saying that you're doubling to 25? Every every month or no, Denny: Not doubling how much I want to make God, I got 25 in there, but you're trying to make you want to make if I want to make 10 This month, I put 10 up. And with the whole idea that I'm could lose all 10,000 of it. Allen: Okay so you're only using 10. Denny: Yeah, but I'm only using 10. If I lose, I lose the 10 then, you know, I'm a big boy. You know, we try again next month. Allen: So like, today's the 13th, you're only up 900. So you still got a ways to go before you get to the goal. Denny: No, no, I'm up 900 over how much I should be up. Allen: So you've already made the 10. And you made another 900? Denny: No, no, no, no. Oh, hold on a second. Okay. Okay, I started out, okay, with 10,000 in the account, okay. And I go to a future value calculator and I plug in, say three and a half percent. Okay. And I plug in 21 days, okay. Yeah. Well, that'll, at the end of the month, if I do that I shouldn't have around $21,000. Okay. And what the future value calculator says is that on day two, I should have 10,300 and some dollars on it. Okay, and then day three, I should have close to 10 Seven. Okay. So I go down what the day is what it says where I should be to achieve the deal. And I'm up 900 Okay, over that. Allen: I say okay, okay. Okay, so you're on pace. You're better you're better than doing on pace to double Denny: Yeah, right. I'm, yeah, I do what's called a phase and betting deal. Okay. Yeah. And so.. Allen: So that's what you're doing on the SPX on the RUT, and you're also doing oil. So how do you put in oil? Denny: I don't know oil, I buy maybe two to three contracts okay of the weeklies now, okay, and do a credit spread on them and try to make, you know, 4 or 500 bucks on the credit spreads and let them expire worthless. Okay. And, and then and the only and I'm only trying that because I know how to make money doing the monthlies and, and getting in at 45 days and, and monitoring it. So I'm a natural born tanker. Okay. Right. And, and, and it can cost me money at times. Okay. But, you know, I guess I'm fortunate that I'm not looking where my next meal is coming from. Allen: Right. Cool. So like today, you know, we have SPX is down 4.3% Today, big moves, they move down. So I'm assuming based on what you said, when you got in on SPX had already started moving down, so you sold calls today? Denny: Yeah, I sold calls I sold about 4090 and 4095. Allen: Okay, and then basically, you didn't have any trouble today? Denny: No and yesterday, yesterday went up. Okay. But when I went when I entered it, it was going sideways. And it was more advantageous on the calls yesterday. So I sold 4185 and 4190 yesterday, okay. And, you know, they they expired worthless okay. Allen: And is there any time you do both puts and calls? Denny: Yes. Yep. It looks like it's going absolutely sideways. Like I say, enter my trade between 1030 and 11. And I usually go to the golf course about one o'clock. But before I go to the golf course, I pull my account up and I look at it and the pit looks like it's going sideways. Then I create an iron condor and I go in and sell puts. Allen: And then what about a stoploss you have any? Denny: Yeah, I put stop losses in on everything. Allen: What percent? Like how do you know when to get out? Denny: I put 40% Okay. Allen: So 40% loss. Denny: Yeah. Allen: Okay. Cool. And so you're pretty happy with that? Denny: Yeah, you know, until it burns me I guess I will you know, I'm waiting. I'm waiting for it. I'm you know, I've done this long enough now that I know that nothing is failsafe. Allen: No, but you're doing this in a time that it is pretty volatile. You know? I mean vix today was at 27. But yeah, even so the VIX is kind of low for what's going on and all the stuff that's happening with the Fed. And, you know, we're still in a bear market. So we're still getting these wild bull market, not not a bull market rally, but a, like a whipsaw rally to go up, and then we, we hit back down on a dime. And so it still it has been very up in Downy and so well, having a you know, the strategy that you're just like, hey, I'm not gonna, I'm just gonna play day by day and not worry about at night. I think that makes a lot of sense. Denny: Yeah. You know, and, you know, I am a very, very avid reader. Okay, so I read Barron's, I read the bestsellers, Business Daily, and stuff like that, not because I think that they are going to enlighten me on anything. But what I have read is, there's a lot of guys in there that tell us about the history of the market. Okay. And for every bear market, you know, usually lasts nine to 18 months. And there's usually four to five mini rallies in there that everyone is calling the bottom of the bear market, and then it drops again, you know, and so, if we understand that, you don't get too overly enthused with the rising SPX or a Dow. Allen: Yeah, yeah. It's, I mean, that comes with experience or like you said, you know, learning and education. Cool. So what do you see going forward? Like, what's, what's next for you? Denny: Man? You know, I just enjoy doing this stuff. You know, I mean, you know, I'm in the twilight twilight of my life. You know, I'm 76 years old. Man. I'm a real young 76. I mean, I'm very mobile. I play, play golf every day. Right now, while we're speaking. I'm in Duncanville, Texas at my grandson's tennis match. He just, he just won his doubles match. And so about a half hour he'll start playing singles. So we'll watch that but.. Allen: Yeah it's a little how, I tell you that. Denny: Yeah, 95 right now here but you know, my normal week is yesterday was Monday I was in junior high volleyball and Flower Mound, which is 30 miles away from where we live. But today I'm at varsity tennis in Duncanville. That's not bad. That's close to where I live. Tomorrow. I got off then Thursday. I got junior varsity tennis. That's a home meet. And then Friday night, I've got got varsity football and Flower Mound. Okay. That's almost every day of the week. I'm doing something with the grandkids. Allen: You're going golfing every day and you're still trading every day? Denny: Yeah, and I'm trading every day. No, and you know, thanks to you. You've shown me ways that I don't have to sit there and stare at a computer. To make money. Allen: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, that's not the I really like what you're doing. I like your style. You know, it's like, okay, you know, put a trade on, let it work, and then go enjoy my life. Denny: Yeah. Doesn't work. So what, you know, there's another day. Allen: Yeah, but the return is good enough that, you know, you get compensated, even if there are losses, the you're, you're playing with bigger numbers. So it's like, hey, if I can make 100%, then yeah, I can lose 20, 30, 40%. That's okay. Yes. Because I can still make much more than that, you know, in the stock market. They're like, Oh, wait, you know, you shouldn't lose more than five or 10% of your account? Well, you're only making 10% a year. So obviously, you don't want to lose more than that. But if the numbers are bigger than you can take bigger, bigger, bigger bumps, so.. Denny: And I'll tell you, I'll tell you what I use I still I still use your option trading Google Spreadsheet. Allen: For the credit spreads, yeah. Denny: Yeah, I use it every day. Allen: Yep, makes it simple, right? Just calculate Yeah. Denny: The only thing is I went in and change changed the 25% to 40%. Allen: But I like it because it's like simple, you know, and I'm sure people listening to this. They're gonna be like, Okay, what do I do again? So it's like, just gonna recap. You know, you wake up in the morning, you see where the SPX and the RUT are opening, right? Yeah, take a look at the VIX. You divided by 16 and then you add that.. Denny: That's your that's your percentage movement in the ETL. Okay, that's Allen: A percentage move of the SPS. Okay. So you multiply that percentage by the open. By the Open, and then that you find your range. Denny: That will give you the that'll give you the movement, which, so say it's 1843 and say, say your your divide by say, say it's say VIX is 32. Okay, okay. Okay, you divide by 16. That's two to 2%. Okay, so say.. Allen: Okay that's percentage. Okay, yeah. Denny: 2%. So say right, opened at 1800. Today, you take 2%, that's $36. So then you take 36 off of 1800. Okay. And, you know, that puts you down to 1764. And then you add 36 to the 1800. And that gives you 1836 yeah. Allen: We have a 87% probability of this range working out for the day, it's not for the month, whatever it is for the day. And that works out to be about 1.5 standard deviations. So we've got the range, that's about one and a half standard deviations, that's 87% probability about that. And for you, it's been working pretty good. And you set it at a 40% stop loss. Oh, and then the other thing is that you get into the trade about an hour and a half an hour, hour and a half after the market opens. And so.. Denny: And the reason of the hour, hour and a half is it took me a while to realize this, the market tends to at times gap up or gap down. Okay. And then about an hour to an hour and a half later, it kind of self corrects itself. Allen: Sometimes that Yeah, yeah. But they say, you know, the opening bell is usually amateur hour. And so yeah, I mean, I could have told you that I don't trade the first hour of the day, you know, markets open markets open about 8:30 here Central time, so I don't trade before 10 o'clock, which is exactly an hour and a half. So I do that.. Denny: Yeah, that's when I'm looking at the momentum indicators and everything.  Allen: And then you let your trades expire? Denny: Yes. Allen: Okay. So you got that going on. And then.. Denny: Well the good thing about it is trades good, you can't get out of it anyway, because you've made all your money by about two o'clock and go in and try to close the trades. It says that say you get the message just some of the bid ask or zero. Allen: So, okay, so you got that going on. And you got the oil, weeklies gone. So that keeps you busy. That keeps you diversified. You're making decent amount. You're happy. That's awesome. I love it. That's that's what this is all about, you know, Denny: Keeps going to Hawaii. Yeah. You know, Allen: Yeah life is good, right? You're hanging out with grandkids you got you still have the house in Hawaii, you go on vacations, everyone, wherever you feel like it. So I like it.. Denny: In two weeks. I'll be in New York City. Allen: That's great. Cool.  Denny: Going to see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden. Allen: Very nice. So did you do any kind of trading before you came across us? Denny: Yes. And I lost my rear end. Allen: Oh, no, that's not good. Yeah. Denny: I was way too aggressive. Okay, and not patient. And that's when I was gonna get out of the equity market completely. When I saw your oil deal, okay. And, you know, and I figured I had a better chance at oil, because it's something that we all need. And it's something that's not going out of style. Even if we go to all electric cars. What people don't understand is that two thirds of the pharmaceuticals and all of the plastic comes tomorrow. And that's none that's going away. Nope. There's going to be a demand. Allen: Yeah. In fact, you know, even with everything with the more solar and the more wind power they bring on, the world is still using more oil now than we have, like 10 years ago, the demand continues to increase, just goes up and up and up every year. So yeah, it's not going anywhere, anytime soon. So we're going to continue to trade even if demand starts going down. It's such a big market that we'll be trading oil for, you know, for the next 20-30 years.  Denny: Yeah Allen: That's, I mean, it's a different so basically, the you are trading equities but then when you found out and you learn about how we sell options, that kind of really flipped the switch?  Denny: Yeah that intrigued me. Okay. First of all well, my background before I got into the advertising thing was I owned a car dealership. Okay, I owned a Ford dealership. If you know anything about car, guys, we're super aggressive and we love leverage. And when I saw options, and I saw the leverage available, I said, this is my ticket. Allen: So then, why are we still at 25,000? Why don't we go more? Denny: You know, I've got a, I've got a wife. Okay, that funny story, okay? All donations came in and bought me out. I guess it's 28 years ago now. And I got a very sizable check. And the day I got that check, my wife reached over and she grabbed that check. And she said, seed money only comes once in a lifetime. And this is going for our old age and for fun. I go, Okay. Well, one of the ways that I've stayed married 52 years, is that I always get the last word. "Yes, dear". So, she, in the money, she basically watches it, okay. And, and she thinks that, you know, a lot of what I'm doing, although I'm making money and stuff like that, on on a basis is a little bit too risky for her, her deal. And so that, you know, that's what she has given me to play with. Okay. Consequently, I have pointed out to her recently, that because of that money, she's not had to buy any groceries out of her retirement account. For her Social Security check. I played for all the plane tickets wherever we go. This trip to New York. I've got $1,000 in Hamilton tickets invested. And she didn't have to pay for any of that. So don't you think it's about time that we started looking at adding more to that, you know, so that I think by the end of the year, she might, you know, lead me forward a little bit more. Allen: Do you have other investments and stuff elsewhere? Yeah, yeah, money's coming in. So it's not like you need this to live off of   Denny: No, no, no, no. Man, like, it's like I said that when my COVID that stopped an annual mid six figure income. I mean, on a normal week, before COVID. I was, well, on a normal month, I was doing 800,000 to 1 million pieces of direct mail a month. But that so you know, it's a good sized business, okay. With annual revenues, anywhere from two and a half to three $3 million. And, and I'm a one man show. I have no employees in that business. You know.   Allen: So it's still running, you still run that business? Yeah.   Denny: Yeah. In fact, I just got a job today. I mean, you know, they're, they're doing  infrequent, you know, I mean, you know, I might have made 30,000 bucks for the whole year doing that, you know, which, you know, that used to be a week sometimes, you know,   Allen: You know, so let me ask you this. Are we going to see below MSRP prices anytime soon?   Denny: No, no, no.   Allen: How about MSRC? Like, I'm seeing prices that are like way above like, double MSRP. Yeah, I'm not paying.   Denny: As soon as the chip shortage is alleviated, and they start to get inventory sometime in the next 18 to 24 months. They'll have inventory again. Oh, wow. But I don't know if you've seen what's happened to the used car market?   Allen: No, it's taken off like crazy.    Denny: Yeah, I mean, you know, my wife has macular degeneration now. And so, leasing a car is unless you have a business purpose. leasing a car is a bad investment. Okay. My wife had macular degeneration, we didn't know if she was going to, they were going to be able to get it stopped and whether she was going to be able to continue to drive. So the car that I'm sitting in right now is her car. Okay. And we leased it, and it had a $21,000 residual on it at the end of the lease period. And we were, you know, we were gonna turn it in. And then I pulled up what the value on it was, the retail value on this car was 31,000. So I went down to the Ford dealership, and broken but check for the car. And they can't want me to lease another one. I know. Thank you, you know, and so and that's happened all throughout the industry. And it's consequently forced the US car prices way up. And so what's going to happen two fold things going to happen. Matt, real quick, I know that you know, either way saw your day on this, but this is interesting. Once the inventory, get levels get up, all these car dealers that have these massive use car inventories are going to have so much water in their inventory. And water is excess pricing to what the current market book value on the vehicles is. In other words, if you can't sell it for what you own it for, you're gonna lose money. Right? And, and a lot of these big-- you live in Houston, I live in Dallas, a lot of these big dealerships that have two and 300 guards in the ground, are going to have a million and a half to $2 million in water in their inventory. And they're going to have to get rid of them. Okay. And so the rear end will fall out of the used car market. And you know, so right now consumers are getting screwed on automobiles. But the dealer has his day of reckoning coming due.   Allen: Yeah, but if you need a car now, you're screwed.   Denny: You need a car now you're in trouble. A buddy of mine went looked at a Subaru Outback with 19,000 miles on it, that it was a year and a half old. And they wanted $35,000 for it.  Allen: Yeah, yeah, don't get in a wreck. I mean, my car I've been thinking about my wife is like, can you just get a new car, please? I'm like, No, I like it. You know, I'm trying to get it up to 200,000. You know, miles on it. Yeah, trying to get there. I mean, it's fine. It works. You know? It's comfortable. It looks fine. From the outside. Everything is comfortable. It works. You know, it's nice Toyota keeps running. But she's like, can you get some bigger? I'm like, Alright, so we looked around, and I'm like, Man, I don't want to pay this stuff. You know, it's not even. It's not like we can't afford the payment or anything. It's just from where it used to be to where it is. Now. There's no difference. The car is the same. You just charged me a whole lot more for no reason. Just because yeah, there's a you can. So yeah, yeah, no, I don't want to play that. Denny: Yeah, their day of reckoning is coming.  Allen: We'll be alright. Well, do you have any advice for our listeners, people that are learning and trying to figure out like you found your way, right, you found your niche in trading, and it took you I don't know how many years you were trading for two years. But how many years? Were you looking before? Before that? Denny: Oh five years, I probably probably five years before I found you. Okay. And two years, two years of.. Allen: Learning and testing Denny: Not doing what you told me to do. And getting and getting burned, to realize, to realize that the things that you teach patients, you know, just the little thing and Think or Swim your standard deviation deal, you know, saying, Oh, you've got a red line there. That's not good. You know, just those little things, you know. So the biggest advice, the best advice I could give to an individual, be patient. Don't try to hit homeruns. You know, the age old adage, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered, is so true. It's like one of my rules on the SPX. You know, a $5 spread. Okay, a $5 spreads on the SPX is 500 bucks. Okay. So if I'm trying to make 4% to 5% a day, that means I'm looking to get 20 cents. On my credit spread. That's it 20 cents. Okay. And if you look at what the delta is on that, it's usually 12 to 13, which puts me in a real advantageous position. You know, so don't get greedy. Just let time be. let time be your friend. Allen: Right? Yep. And that actually might be a shortcut for you. So you don't even have to worry about the VIX. You just go in to get the 12 Delta.  Denny: I'm in the process of doing about a year study on this, okay. Because I back tested it using the Delta. Okay. And some wild market swings, it comes out that it doesn't work out. Right. Okay. Yeah. Allen: But the thing is, it's hard to back test it because you're saying that you go in after looking at it visually and being like, Okay, I want to be on this side or I want to be on that side. You can't do that. Unless you do it manually yourself with a like a software that I like the one I use where you got to go in day by day by day. If you're one of those programs where you just put in the numbers and you Just let it run, it doesn't work. Denny: You've got to plug them in yourself. Yeah. And it's time consuming. Especially if you're doing dailies. Yeah. Because you got you got 256 for every year. Allen: Yeah. And I mean, like, you know, when we when we back test a new strategy, it's like I want to I want you know, a good 10 years of data, you know, I want to see the the ups and the downs and the flats and the recessions and the bulls market and everything. I want to know that it's going to work long term, not just for a couple because I've been burned on that too. You know, I, I back tested different strategies like the butterfly on McDonald's and a butterfly on a Walmart and they worked great for five years. For five years, they made money. I went in there with guns blazing. You know, I took like every money out of money I had at the time at $25,000 on one trade, just want Dre put it all and boom, blew up. And I'm like, what happened? Oh, my God, man. It was a fluke. I'm gonna do it again. Next month, next month, boom, blew up again. You know.. Denny: Those butterflies and iron condors look great. You sit there and you look at the leverage you've got on that you go, Whoa, you know, but you know, you got to think, why isn't everyone doing it? There's a reason. Allen: So, there's lots of little tweaks behind it. Yeah, yeah. This has been fun. Denny, I'm gonna let you go. I appreciate you. And if there's anything you need, please reach out to us. We're always here for you. And thank you for sharing your wisdom. Denny: Okay, well, you know, I mean, I just want to tell you and your listeners that your program has definitely taught me a lot and made me a lot successful. Faster than I ever would have been.

EA - Simple estimation examples in Squiggle by NunoSempere

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Simple estimation examples in Squiggle, published by NunoSempere on September 2, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This post goes through several simple estimates, written in Squiggle, a new estimation language. My hope is that it might make it easier to write more estimates of a similar sort, wider adoption of Squiggle itself, and ultimately better decisions. Initial setup One can use Squiggle in several ways. This blog post will cover using it on its website and in a Google Spreadsheet. An upcoming blog post will cover using it in more complicated setups. squiggle-language.com The simplest way to use Squiggle is to open squiggle-language.com/playground. You will see something like the following: You can write your model on the editor in the left side, and the results will be displayed in the right side. As you make edits, the url in your browser bar will change so that you copy it and use it to refer people to your model. Squiggle Google docs When working with multiple models, I've also found it useful to use Squiggle in Google sheets. To do so, make a copy of this spreadsheet, and allow app permissions. Edit the “Main” sheet, and click on “Squiggle” > “Feed into Squiggle” to compute models. If you have difficulties, read the “Instructions” sheet, or leave a comment. So without further ado, the simple example models: Partially replicating Dissolving the Fermi Paradox (complexity = 1/10) Page 2 of the paper defines the factors for the Drake equation: Page 10 of the paper gives its estimates for the factors of the Drake equation: Because Squiggle doesn't yet have the log-uniform probability distribution, we're going to have to define it first. A log-uniform is a probability distribution whose log is a uniform distribution. // () loguniform(a, b) = exp(uniform(log(a), log(b))) // Estimates rate_of_star_formation = loguniform(1,100) fraction_of_stars_with_planets = loguniform(0.1, 1) number_of_habitable_planets_per_star_system = loguniform(0.1, 1) fraction_of_habitable_planets_in_which_any_life_appears = 1 // ^ more on this below fraction_of_planets_with_life_in_which_intelligent_life_appears = loguniform(0.001, 1) fraction_of_intelligent_planets_which_are_detectable_as_such = loguniform(0.01, 1) longevity_of_detectable_civilizations = loguniform(100, 10000000000) // Expected number of civilizations in the Milky way; // see footnote 3 (p. 5) n = rate_of_star_formation fraction_of_stars_with_planets number_of_habitable_planets_per_star_system fraction_of_habitable_planets_in_which_any_life_appears fraction_of_planets_with_life_in_which_intelligent_life_appears fraction_of_intelligent_planets_which_are_detectable_as_such longevity_of_detectable_civilizations // Display n This produces the following estimate: The estimate is fairly wide, but the model gives a 10%-ish chance that there is, in expectation, less than once civilization in the Milky Way. After updating on a bunch of observations, the paper raises that probability, hence the conclusion that the Fermi paradox has been “dissolved”. Why did we set fraction_of_planets_in_which_any_life_appears to 1? Well, the paper considers an estimate of 1−exp(−r), where r is distributed as a lognormal(1,50). But because r ranges from very small numbers to very large numbers, they get collapsed to either 0 or 1 when going through 1−exp(−r), which produces some numerical errors when multiplying by 0. In addition, that estimate has been questioned. So following a similar move in the paper, we can set that factor to a high value (in this case, to 1, meaning that all planets capable of life do host life). And then, when we notice that the probability of no other life in the Milky Way is still significant, the Fermi paradox will still have been somewhat dissolved, though to a lesser extent. From here on, we could tweak the ...

We do love AWS, but sometimes we have to admit that it's not always a silver bullet. There are definitely use cases where it might be worth considering alternatives to AWS. In this episode we will discuss some of these use cases and try to highlight what are the advantages that other platforms or services can have over AWS in very specific circumstances. First of all we clarify why we like AWS and why (and when) it's worth sticking with it. Then, we discuss what are some of the reasons why it might be worth considering alternatives to AWS. At this point we go into the specifics and talk about authentication services (Auth0), search services (ElasticSearch, Algolia), CDN Services (GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, CloudFlare, Fastly, Akamai), Databases (MongoDB Atlas, Digital Ocean managed databases, IBM Compose, CloudFlare D1, Upstash, Confluent Kafka), Headless CMS services (ContentFul, Storyful, AirTable, Google Spreadsheet), Virtual Machine services (Digital Ocean, Linode).

Money Hack of the Week: Nest or SMART thermostat - learns your habits - saves on energy bills. Knows when you're away, knows when you come home. Main Topic: Tracking your financial health What do I mean when I say financial health? I think of financial health as a measure of how well we're doing with our money IT'S NOT: Our credit score, how well we pay our bills, etc… IT IS: How much money do we have in our wallets and what type of assets do we have. Put most simply - financial health generally equates to: how is our net worth looking and ARE we tracking our net worth? Way back on episode #1 of the podcast - 1.5 years ago…. We did a show talking about net worth and why it's so important. Buried in that episode, we told people they should be tracking their net worth. It's the one truth serum there is. Why tracking net worth is SO important: It tracks exactly what you owe on all your debts It shows you quickly how much equity you have in property And IT CAN show you in real time what your investments are worth r What Lance and I do: We have a Google Spreadsheet - we share it Using google sheets, you can actually track in real time the value of your investments. So we track all of the following on this spreadsheet: Retirement accounts Brokerage accounts 529 accounts Our mortgages Our home values Checking/Savings We add up all the assets and subtract out all of the liabilities At the bottom of the sheet - on ANY GIVEN day, we can see exactly what our net worth is. Record your net worth on a monthly basis. You will be amazed at how this makes you look at money from a different perspective. It shifts your mindset. You start seeing how things impact your net worth. For example: You go buy a nice car - you now get to depreciate the value of that car You put money into investments, you will see how that money grows Your real estate investments - you will see gains in value when your tenants are paying down the value of the house while the house appreciates in value Going back to episode # 1 We provide a copy of the net worth spreadsheet we use. You can download it here . There are 2 tabs to the spreadsheet: 1st is to track all of your assets and liabilities 2nd is to track your net worth from month to month If you ever wonder if you're on the right track - this is the best way to figure it out. Start tracking net worth and you will find out if you're going forwards or backwards. Other things to note: If your net worth is below 0 - don't let that discourage you. Almost everyone starts out with a negative net worth. College is expensive, life is expensive, especially when you're just starting out. Don't confuse net worth with self worth - this doesn't define you as a person Think of this as a tool for evaluate your financial health.

222: Behind The Scenes of the Expand Online Summit for Music Educators

Let's go behind the scenes of the Expand Online Summit! This is the third year that I am running the summit and be sure to go to expandonlinesummit.com and get yourself a free ticket which gives you access to the sessions for 48 hours. There is also the option to purchase extended access through April 30, 2023 right after you register. My first task was to figure out how this summit is going to be different from last year's summit and from the summit before that. It came down to the state of the world. When I did the first summit, it was 2020 and I had started sending out invites before the pandemic. But I recorded the very first session when my kids were already home because school had closed down. We were in a state of uncertainty and closures and unknowns. The sentiment of that summit was “you can do something online and be successful and you can do something to sustain yourself through the uncertainty that is coming.” Last year, I really wanted to focus on doing better and putting down roots online so we weren't feeling like a fly-by-night operation anymore. We were really saying yes to online For this year, I realized that the people who wanted to come to the summit this year have said yes to expanding online. It's not a matter of if they're expanding, but how they're expanding. And so I put the theme together of scaling beyond sessions. What can we do beyond flipping on the Webcam and getting out in front of the computer screen and teaching a lesson through videoconferencing. We gotta do better than that! It's 2022, the Internet has gotten faster, the tools have become more robust and so on and so on. S Next for this year was sponsorship opportunities. My summit is extremely focused; it is geared 100% towards music educators and I know that there are some amazing companies out there that cater to music education and helping music educators to do more, bigger, better, faster. I created some really great sponsorship packages which yielded four incredible sponsors. Muzie.Live (Sam Reti) The SpeakEasy Cooperative (Michelle Markwart Deveaux) Duet Partner (Neylan McBaine) The Cascade Method (Tara Boykin) Their sessions are not to be missed and the cool thing is that two of these sponsors signed up as sponsors after we had recorded their sessions. They said, you know what, I'm fully invested in this summit. I want to be a part of it, I want to promote it, I want to sponsor it and kind of just have a ringing endorsement. One of the reasons I felt it was important to bring sponsors this year was to add a little bit more authority to the event. I want the Expand Online Summit to continue going on for years and years to come. I want to make it into the premier event for online music educators. That is my goal, that is where I want to take it and I feel like we are getting there now that we're in year three and we have solid sponsors and we've got great registration and all of that stuff, Inviting Speakers My first step this year was to look at the amazing folks who spoke on the summit previously. I then reached out to some of them and invited them back. Once I had my “yeses” I looked at the topics we were going to be able to cover and identified holes that I wanted to fill within the theme of scaling beyond sessions. Then I reached out through Instagram and email with the ask. The best part is that some of the people that said yes to attend have never done summits before. They have great products, great services for music educators, but they just haven't played in this arena and I feel so privileged and honored that they said yes to participating in something that is so new and so different from anything that they've done before. Recording and Producing the Summit Content I recorded most of the sessions on Zencastr. A couple were recorded on zoom. Then I use Camtasia to edit and Vimeo to host. This is what takes the longest – from here I also pull together session highlights which I use to create the playbook (more on that later!) I keep track of everything in a Google Spreadsheet although I actually prefer using Airtable, I just didn't get organized with it this year. Summit Buildout and Testing The speakers provided free gifts for the attendees (with email signup) and/or discounts/offers/coupons for the All-Access Pass holders. It is my responsibility to make sure that the links they provide work and do what they are supposed to. This takes time but I need to make sure that whatever link someone provides me works and it delivers the content that they said, it's going to deliver and that that experience is on par with everything that I am putting together in the summit. It doesn't make me look good or make the attendees feel good or the speakers if I put a wrong link in or if things don't work smoothly. It is on me! One of the discounts inside the All-Access Pass is 10% (that's $600) off the Online Music Course Accelerator program that I run with Brocha Kahan. The All-Access Pass is as low as $67 and will go up to $297, so if that's the only offer you take, you're still ahead $303 :) The total value of the All-Access Pass is over $3600! Now onto the tech stack… WordPress website Deadline Funnels ThriveCart Learndash Gravity Forms ActiveCampaign Tidio Beaver Builder / Beaver Themer That's a lot but I'll tell you that it was SO MUCH EASIER this year, because I already had so much in place and ready to use from last year… Especially the emails that I needed to write for my automations and swipe copy for the speakers to promote the summit. Most of it just went so smooth. I didn't have to do that much and I am so thankful. I mean obviously there's still a ton of work but I didn't have to write a ton of copy from scratch. I feel strongly that that is the reason why this year's summit is going to be even more successful because I didn't have to focus on those little details. I just had to go and plug and play and do the work, which is actually probably one of the reasons why I was so excited to record this episode for you! Gamification and Engagement The final elements of the summit that I feel is crucial to share about are the BINGO board and the Playbook. The BINGO card makes it fun to show up and attend/participate in the summit. There are pre-recorded and live elements and the BINGO board is helping people get into it. And the Playbook is all about making the most of the content. I say this in several of the sessions – the summit is not for entertainment purposes alone, it's a motivation, inspiration, education tool. The Playbook helps to take the ideas from the sessions and make them real and tangible. I am working to make the Expand Online Summit the premier event for music educators who are expanding online, creating online products and services. This summit is part of the launch strategy for the 2nd round of the online music course accelerator which is starting later this month. If you are interested in creating an online course and you want strategy support, camaraderie and hands on assistance making that happen, the online music course accelerator is absolutely for you. There's so much opportunity for music teachers to double down on what you're creating online. I wish you all the best, look forward to seeing you at the summit and connecting with you to see if OMCA is right for you and with that. Hey, here's my Instagram – send me a DM, okay?

Betty needed a flexible way to keep on top of her marketing content. So, she wondered if there was a Google spreadsheet calendar template that's versatile enough. You see, like many entrepreneurs and small business owners, Betty had a lot on her plate. She also knew that grabbing a regular freebie calendar that she found online may require too much customisation. What she needed is a calendar developed for marketers by a marketer who understood the importance of editorial calendars. Let me know if you find these points relatable. You've used dozens of tools to map out your promotion calendar without successYou're a planner who likes to map things out weeks or months in advanceIf you get an idea for content 12-24 months in advance you'd like to put it on the calendarYou've searched high and low for the perfect editorial calendar but none was perfect If only there was a Google sheets calendar template that'll help you develop content ideas for the next 3-5 years successfully. In the post, you'll learn how to customise your very own editorial calendar template. You'll also get the opportunity to grab the best Google spreadsheet calendar template on the market. Disclosure: Please note that this post may contain affiliate links which means that if you buy one of my recommended products I get paid a commission for sharing the link at no additional cost to you.  I only recommend products that I have tried myself and have experienced success. What is an Editorial Calendar In case you've never heard the term before, let me first explain what is an editorial calendar. An editorial calendar is also known as a publishing schedule or content calendar. Normally it is a 12-month calendar that has important dates, public holidays and calendar events. It is normally used by bloggers, teams, small businesses as well as an editorial team to manage and control the publication of content. This content is published across various platforms like a blog, magazine, newsletter, social media, etc. One reason why people use an editorial calendar is that they have a team of people producing the content. For example, they'll have graphic designers, video producers, copywriters, photographers and editors. Other team members include social media managers and at least one marketing strategist. The bigger the team the higher the need for a single source of truth or a central repository. Essentially, an editorial calendar is a project management tool used to manage entire marketing campaigns. It means that a content calendar template is a powerful tool for marketing campaigns. If everything is not in one location then it gets difficult to manage the content effectively. Content Marketing Statistics At the end of the day, the main reason for creating an editorial calendar is for the purpose of content marketing. So, before investing time and energy in developing one it's important to look at the content marketing statistics. According to Ahrefs, 82% of marketers are investing in content marketing. 51% of businesses that invest in content marketing publish content daily. Interestingly, 60% of marketers report that content marketing generates leads for their business. Blog research conducted by Hubspot said that 48% of companies who leverage content marketing use blogging. Also, 60% of marketers say that they measure content marketing success through sales. When it comes to content formats the number one content type on the list is video. The content marketing institute conducted research that showed that many marketers are planning to increase their spending on video this year. What's even more interesting is that 80% of the marketers surveyed said they used content marketing to build awareness and credibility. After video content, the area with increased spending for marketers is events (in-person, hybrid and virtual). The Customer Journey

Welcome back to the Scale Your Small Business Podcast with your host, Jillian Flodstrom. Last week, we dove into assessing all the systems you may have in place. This week, we're going to talk about the feedback that we received from the community.    Many folks were wondering where to get started. It's important to have a baseline so you can work in a system to your business, assess how it's going, and pivot if you need to. Otherwise, it's hard to tell where the holes are.   To demonstrate a place to get started, we can look at scheduling--specifically with Google Calendars and Calendly. In combination, not only can you have a highly-customizable and shareable calendar, but you also allow people to schedule themselves into your day. Be mindful, though, to block out time in your day for appointments, travel, etc. so clients are booking themselves at a time where you're not available. In return, you're saving time scheduling, plus people can write themselves in after your office is closed. Plus, they can reschedule too! Calendly also allows you to be available for a specific kind of appointment--so you can further narrow down what you're spending your time doing every day. From there, it's all automated--reminders, invitations, etc are all taken care of. All you have to do is show up!   Another question that came up is how to manage what systems you're using and paying for? Best practice is a Google Spreadsheet. Keep columns of what the system is and when you're paying for it. Have sheets for each month!    Key Takeaways   Having an online calendar is a great place to start implementing systems.  Calendly is a great tool to give your clients flexible scheduling. Keep track of your systems and when you pay for them in a Google Sheet

I Jasmins team har de tagit fram idéer för nya test och prioriterat dem tillsammans. Alla i teamet får komma med alla idéer de har, alla idéer är välkomna. Sedan klustrades idéerna ihop till olika kluster av så kallade teman eller spår vi skulle kunna tänkas jobba med. Därefter fick var och en rösta på vilket spår där vi skulle kunna lära oss mest och skapa mest värde för organisationen. Värde är kopplat till North Star Metric. Lärandet är viktigt för att organisationen ska kunna skaffa sig fler lärdomar än konkurrenterna så snabbt som möjligt. Att på ett enkelt och snabbt sätt få reda på om en taktik eller strategi är fel är mycket värdefullt. Inom ett spår behöver vi sedan tömma våra huvuden på ännu fler idéer på vad vi skulle kunna testa. Vi formulerar idéerna som hypoteser. En hypotes kan formuleras såhär: Genom att göra x kommer vi nå mål y. När vi har ett gäng hypoteser är det dags beskriva dem kort. Hur mäter vi testet? Hur ser testet ut? Hur många gånger uppskattar vi att vi behöver testa detta innan vi kan vara säkra på att resultatet är en insikt? Därefter behöver vi prioritera alla hypoteser. Det gör vi enligt en mall som vi länkar här nedan. Parametrarna som vi prioriterar efter är: Värde: 0 – 5 Lätt att göra: 0 – 5 Lärande: 0 – 5 Hög risk: -1 eller 0 Värdet av dessa räknas ihop till en score (100% är högst, och 0% är lägst) för hela hypotesen. När alla hypoteser fått en score kan de sorteras efter hög till låg score och teamet har en priolista att gå efter. Mallen är en justerad version av ICE-score-modellen: https://growthhackers.com/articles/a-simple-ice-score-calculator Just den här mallen är det Daniel Hansson på Signific som ligger till grund för.

Episode Introduction Alexander Betts, Professor of Forced Migration and International Affairs at the University of Oxford, and Ola Rosling, CEO of Gapminder, discuss what (almost) everybody gets wrong about refugees in this episode hosted by IKEA Foundation CEO Per Heggenes.  There are a lot of misconceptions about refugees, especially around their intentions and why they leave their homes, belongings and loved ones to venture into the unknown. Do you think you know your facts about refugees? Learn more from two interesting and knowledgeable guests who shine a light on some of the issues faced by the world's 26 million refugees. Guests Bio  Ola Rosling is President and Co-Founder of Gapminder Foundation, which he founded together with his wife and his father. Since 1999, Ola has led the development of the Trendalyzer software, which was acquired by Google in 2007. At Google Ola and his team delivered the Motion Chart as part of Google Spreadsheets. As Product Manager for Google Public Data, Ola then helped democratise access to public statistics by developing the infrastructure needed to make official statistics part of Google Search results. Ola and Anna went back to Gapminder in 2011 to develop free teaching materials for a fact-based worldview. In 2014, Ola coined the term “Factfulness”, which Gapminder is now promoting to make education about Sustainable Development less ideological and more fact-based. Together with Anna and Hans, Ola wrote Factfulness, a book launched in April 2018.  Twitter handle: @OlaRosling Alexander Betts is Professor of Forced Migration and International Affairs, William Golding Senior Fellow in Politics at Brasenose College, and Associate Head of the Social Sciences Division, at the University of Oxford. He served as Director of the Refugee Studies Centre between 2014 and 2017. His research focuses on the politics and economics of refugee assistance. He is co-author, with Paul Collier, of Refuge: Transforming a Broken Refugee System (Penguin Allen Lane), which was named by the Economist as one of the “Best Books of 2017”.

Good Morning, RVA!

Good morning, RVA! It’s 59 °F, and we’ve got yet another gorgeous day ahead of us. You know the deal: Expect highs in the 70s and lots of sunshine. Looking forward, I think we’ll get to tack one more day on to our streak of excellent weather before clouds start rolling in over the weekend.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 509↘️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 12↘️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 26↘️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 15, Henrico: 9, and Richmond: 2). Since this pandemic began, 379 people have died in the Richmond region. I finally put together a chart of the seven-day average of localpositive reported cases over on my public coronacounts Google Spreadsheet. You can see that the number of reported cases has trended down over the past month, and—despite blips here and there—Chesterfield, Henrico, and Richmond are all experiencing the same general numbers and trends. You can also see that, for whatever reason, Google decided to appropriately label the x-axis of this particular graph unlike literally every other chart I’ve ever tried to make with it.In his daily email, Superintendent Kamras announced that the new Richmond Public Schools daily schedules approved by the School Board earlier this week will take effect Tuesday, October 20th. If you’d like to learn more than what you can glean from the aforelinked Google Doc, head over to RPS’s Facebook page tonight at 5:30 PM to hear some folks from the Curriculum and Instruction Department discuss the updated schedule.Today the Urban Design Committee will take a look at the VCU Health System’s plan to build a pedestrian bridge stretching across the intersection of N. 11th & E. Marshall Streets (UDC 2020–16). Back in February, staff had lots of thoughts on the proposal (PDF, p. 4), and I always enjoy reading through their PDFs when they get thoughtful—especially about issues that impact pedestrians in one of our most pedestrian-dense parts of town. While I don’t love taking up a bunch of right-of-way with concrete pillars to support a bridge that most folks will never use, if I’m reading the drawings (PDF) correctly (and I’m terrible at engineering drawings), both 11th and Marshall will get curb bump outs to narrow the street, slow traffic, and make pedestrian crossings easier and safer. At the moment, staff recommends that UDC approve the project with the understanding that VCU Health System will “further study pedestrian flow and safety in the public right-of-way.”Ned Oliver at the Virginia Mercury reports on one of the police-reform bills working its way through the General Assembly. Oliver says the GA “sent a bill establishing rules for how police officers use chokeholds to Gov. Ralph Northam’s desk Wednesday after the Senate rejected a blanket ban on the maneuver and felony penalties proposed by lawmakers in the House of Delegates.” As with most things police-reform, the House wanted something more progressive than the Senate. One of my pals who understands the GA a lot better than I do frequently points out that the two chambers often have totally different vibes. Here’s said vibe difference on display!Richmond BizSense’s Mike Platania has a small update on the planned 12-story apartment building going in on the northwest corner of Broad & Lombardy Streets. What I really want to point out, though, is the final paragraph of Platania’s piece: “The Dollar Tree at 1510 W. Broad St. closed in recent months and is now listed as available for lease.” This is an excellent opportunity for the new occupant to work with the owner and close the western-most “garage” and open it up as a pass-through for people trying to walk, roll, or ride north on Lombardy. For whatever absolutely bananas reason, that building sits directly on the street and there’s no room for a sidewalk!Today at 12:00 PM on WRIR—that’s 97.3 FM on the radio—you can catch Sheri Shannon talking with four women in politics: Sen. Jennifer McClellan, 8th District City Council Candidate Amy Wentz, Mayoral Candidate Alexsis Rodgers, and 3rd District School Board Candidate Sabrina Gross. If you’re interested, WRIR has a whole Women & Politics show that airs every Thursday from 12:00–12:30 PM. I love the pitch for this week’s show: “Exhausted with men talking over women?”The Richmond and Henrico Health Districts will host another community testing event today at the Robinson Theatre (2903 Q Street) from 9:00–11:00 AM. By now you should know the drill! Spread the word, not the virus! Etc!Last night, during the Vice Presidential debate, a fly landed on Mike Pence’s head and sat there for two full minutes. I don’t know why, but it was like the collective coil of tension we’re all carrying around inside of us relaxed for those two minutes. Scrolling through Twitter and a few group texts, I laughed until I cried. Over a fly! I’m thankful for that fly.This morning’s longreadThe All-or-Nothing Approach to Social Distancing Isn’t WorkingI’m probably guilty of the all-or-nothing approach to social distancing—although, with school starting, my family has begun unclench. Don’t get me wrong, we still keep our six feet of distance, but you might could find us in a park with friends or on a bike ride with pals.This apparent coronavirus fatigue is spurring some public health experts to call for more nuanced guidelines to help people avoid contagion. Their recommendations draw on a pragmatic model called harm reduction, which seeks to reduce the negative consequences of potentially risky activities, particularly drug use. Harm reduction emerged in the early 1990s during the AIDS crisis, and one of its key lessons “was that people had to think in terms of safer, not in terms of absolute safety, figuring out how to do activities that were essential to life,” says Daniel Wolfe, of the Open Society Foundations’ public health program.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Episode 103: How to Run a Big Household Efficiently

Fostering Voices Podcast

Let's try this again! We are definitely going to give you some great tips and tricks on how to run a big (or small, or medium!) household efficiently. But, I just need you guys to know that this episode was a real pain to get out into the world! I posted it once - and it just disappeared. So I rewrote the show notes, much shorter than the first time; and then the audio was SO BAD that we had to take that episode down IMMEDIATELY. And so here I am, writing these shownotes for the THIRD TIME! And, we re-recorded the whole episode. So, enjoy! You would think that being on episode 103, we would know what we were doing... **palm to face. Oraganization So in this week's episode, we talk about the importance of being organized!  When we were a small family of 4 - we were super disorganized! Our house was a mess, as were our finances! But we have found that with each child we add to our home, the more we NEED order, schedules, routines, and a BUDGET! We talked about this calendar and chores chart, which is definitely my most recommended Amazon purchase to date. Although I have also recommended these headphones with mic and share port, to quite a few early elementary parents who are doing online school. We even mentioned them in this episode. The way we like to organize the Chores Chart is to add daily chores - which include emptying the dishwasher, setting the table, and clearing the table. We have 4 kids on rotation for those chores, so that makes sense for our family. If you have 2 kids, you may want to add another daily chore to make sure things are fair. :)  I also add what for lunch and dinner everyday, which helps me to meal plan, and also prevents the kids from asking me what we are eating for every single meal, every single day. And we also add what the monthly chores are, and who is in charge of what. The monthly chores are done every Sunday, but each kid sticks with the same chore for the month, and then we rotate. Those chores include cleaning the toilets, tubs, picking up dog and tortoise poop, cleaning sinks, vacuuming, and tidying up the car. It's pretty great! We've heard people say that they can't get their kids to do chores. Well guess what? You don't give them a choice. You can get your kids to do chores, you just may not be able to get your kids to WANT to do chores. Those are different things, and also things that don't matter. Doing chores is an integral part of childhood, and launching into successful adulthood!  Another important part of our daily routine is that we do not allow the kids to be on any devices during the week. They can watch a bit of tv in the afternoon if all of their schoolwork is complete, but the kids are encouraged to get off their butts and MOVE AROUND. Especially in this time of online schooling, the kids do not need to keep sitting and staring at screens. And they need to interact with other humans!  Finances We truly believe that financial freedom leads to freedom in so many more areas of life. Being stressed about finances causes you to be stressed about pretty much everything else in life.  If you don't have a budget yet - YOU NEED ONE! There are so many different budgeting spreadsheets to suit your needs. Whether you use Microsoft or Google Spreadsheets, there is something for everyone! Chris recommends doing a Zero Budget. You start with all of your income, and you account for everything! The $0.89 you spent at the gas station on your debit card? There's a place in your budget for that! Account for how much you are saving, tithing and giving away, and spending everywhere you go.  And, it's a great idea to let your kids start having control of some of their money as well. This will help your kids to see how much they have in savings, and in checking, and they have their own little debit card too. We use Greenlight which is a handy app for everyone to use.  We love to listen to the Defining Stewardship Podcast because they make financial talk and practices so easy! This was Chris' podcast pick of the week, as he listened to this episode on whether to save or for your kids' college funds, or not.. Mine was this episode of The Storybrand Podcast, with an interview with Nicole Walters. Darren Hardy talks about the Compound Effect, in his book of the same name. The 'Treat Yo' Self' moments you have now have a cumulative effect for the future. If you always 'deserve' a Starbucks treat, the compound effects are hundreds of dollars wasted, extra calories consumed, and... well, that's a lot of serious repercussions. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy a treat every now and again. But if you do it every day, it's not a treat, it's just a lifestyle. But is it a lifestyle you can afford?? The Good Word of the Day “Kids develop their identity by getting clues from you about what you think about them, feel about them, and hope for them.” Dr. Meg Meeker, Pediatrician We have to trust our kids to do chores, to have some control of their finances, and to see that we think that they are smart and capable little humans!  Thanks for listening to another episode of our podcast. We are so thankful for all of you. We hope that you will do great things with great love.

Bob and Jane come into my office to discuss when they should file for Social Security. Three things I need to know to guide them: 1. What are their PIAs (don't know what PIA is? click here: https://youtu.be/EoMQSwVh0XE) 2. What their Income NEEDS will be. Now this is SO much more important than simply taking a percentage of current income, like 80%. This is a rule of thumb that is highly used in the industry but is not specific enough to YOU. We need to understand truly what your expenses will be! Everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING is contingent of an accurate accounting of your cash flow needs...in retirement. What you spend today may have no relationship to what you spend in retirement. So, there is some guesswork involved but it's important to take the time to truly analyze and predict future expenditures. 3. Value of your liquid net worth. Liquid net worth includes your investment accounts and bank accounts. Any type of accounts that can be quickly converted to cash to be used to live on. Once we identify these three things, we can come up with a pretty thorough idea of when is the best time for Jane and Bob to file for their Social Security benefits. It will be important to understand the health of both too. After all, if Bob isn't long for this world, we probably will have different planning than if he most likely to live until he's 100. In this video, I use a very simple Google Spreadsheet to analyze the options Jane and Bob have when it comes to optimizing Social Security. You can easily recreate this for your own analysis as well. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/josh-scandlen-podcast/support

It'll be a pretty big shindig, with several star-studded guests!  AIE Final Fantasy member Rounca Pardylle [rounce-uh parr-dill] has donated two Everquest Landmark Closed beta keys and a copy of Final Fantasy XIV to give away, and we'll also be saying a fond farewell to Ghomus after more than three years at the helm of this show.

We're taking a look at Mumble to see if people prefer it over Ventrilo, so please give it a try and let Stigg know what you think. The really cool thing is, the Mumble server tied to UMAMI, so you can sign in using your personal UMAMI username and password. No more having to deal with Vent password changes.
