PODCAST SATELLITETHE VOICE OF ISRAELNissan 20, 5784 Prince HandleyPresident / RegentUniversity of Excellence PROTECTION AGAINST ALGORITHMS & TERRORISTS LIVING INDEPENDENTLY & SAFELY הגנה מפני אלגוריתמים ומחבלים Prince Handley 24/7 Commentary (FREE) > BLOG Email this message to a friend and help them! ____________________________________ DESCRIPTION OF THIS TEACHING In this message I want to alert you to the Coercion of Algorithms PLUS the Imminent Threat of Terrorism. However, I specifically want to inform you HOW to PROTECT yourself against both. AI runs off of algorithms, but not all algorithms are AI—neither are they all the same. They're developed with different goals and methods. An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the capability of computer systems or algorithms to imitate intelligent human behavior. Most of us are familiar with China's Social Credit System and the CCP's ubiquitous use of surveillance. Online behaviour is monitored … and algortihms are KEY to everything. So HOW does this fit into Geopolitics, Israel and the End Times? Keep reading or listening.   Plus: Information to PROTECT you from terrorist attacks and chaos … even in Israel. _______________________________ PROTECTION AGAINST ALGORITHMS & TERRORISTS LIVING INDEPENDENTLY & SAFELYהגנה מפני אלגוריתמים ומחבלים For years the Chinese government has been using technologies to control its citizens in frightening ways. The internet is highly censored, and each person's cell phone number and online activity is assigned a unique ID number tied to their real name. Facial-recognition technology is also increasingly widespread in China, with few restraints on how it can be used to track and surveil citizens. The {China] Supreme People's Court maintains a blacklist of people who the government alleges did not comply with court judgments, for example by not paying fines, but also things like failing to formally apologize to someone they are found to have wronged. Being on the blacklist now comes with harsh punishments. You might be unable to purchase high-speed train tickets, fly on an airplane, or send your kids to a private school. The government has prohibited more than 20 million plane tickets from being purchased. SO WHAT IS AN ALGORITHM … An algorithm is a a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end. The definition of an algorithm is “a set of instructions to be followed in calculations or other operations.” This applies to both mathematics and computer science. So, at the essential level, an AI algorithm is the programming that tells the computer how to learn to operate on its own. SO HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO YOU ... What China and the CCP does “leaks” over to the Israel and other countries. Online behavior is already a BIG part of what is monitors, and algorithms are KEY to everything. The basic goal is to process the vast Israeli data—and data from other countries—to create individual ratings which will determine YOUR access to most things … from travel to jobs. A plan released just recently by the Beijing municipal government dictates that personal creditworthiness points will be used to reward and/or punish individuals―and companies―by granting or denying them access to public services like healthcare, travel, and employment. High scoring “Green Channel” people can more easily access social opportunities. Those who actions are disapproved of by the state will be restricted …even to having passports revoked. One high profile system, which has already been used in USA for years, is Sesame Credit—created by Ant Financial—an offshoot of the Chinese online retail giant Alibaba. Using a secret algorithm, Sesame Credit constantlys scores people from 350 to 950. WARNNG: It's ratings are based upon info such as “interpersonal relationships” and “consumer habits.” Being friends with “low rated” people is NOT good … and buying video games gets you marked down! Algorithms fuel—or dictate—HOW these surveillance tools operate … and AI facilitates the operation! EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE USA … You can speak all you want to … but just not in a public forum: like a local School Board Meeting OR on Social Media. [Just look back to what has happened since January 2021.] USA citizens actions are going to be monitored more and more. How many of the people arrested for alleged Jan 6th crimes never were in the area but some communication or relationship supposedly “tied” them to that event. Look at how the Government is atttacking Elon Musk who “healed” X (formerly Twitter) and exposed unfounded censorship by Government influence on the previous Twitter. Across the world, governments have invested heavily in setting up a surveillance infrastructure. There are millions of cameras, but no one to monitor them 24/7. However, artificial intelligence (AI) can process every frame and present real-time analysis. The reason AI is making a vast impact is because of its self-learning capabilities. AI is constantly learning and improving. Error is minimized with every iteration and moves closer to—or even better than—human error. Algorithms “attempt” to influence you now whether you realize it or not. Surveillance of travel, purchases, relationships, recreation and spending—and soon thoughts—will be the next encroachment into YOUR life. In the USA the Biden Adminiistration is already funding cognitive research to develop HOW to influence—and thereby change—people's thinking. One way they will do this is by influencing what people SEE, HEAR and FEEL on News, Social Media and Entertainment … and by training people and shaping policy through NeuroScience. Read or listen to Smart Cities … Or Are They by Prince Handley [focus on “What To Watch Out For” at the end.] SO WHO TRAINS “AI” HOW TO MAKE DECISIONS … That's a very good question. It is the programmer who inputs—influences—the algorithmic outcome (the answers) and many times with BIAS depending on the desired outcome: political, financial, spiritual or other ideological opinion or bias. Look at the recent example of Google AI Gemini which would NOT allow a “white person” image on certain searches for George Washington. Gemini responded to a prompt for “a portrait of a Founding Father of America” with images of a Native American man in a traditional headdress, a Black man, a darker-skinned non-White man and an Asian man, all in colonial-era garb. Elon Musk accused Google of pushing a pro-diversity bias into its product. Experts have long warned that AI tools therefore have the potential to replicate the racial and gender biases baked into that information.   Evidence of racial bias in Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and ChatGPT has been proven. Google's public apology after its Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) produced historically inaccurate images and refused to show pictures of White people has led to questions about potential racial bias in other big tech chatbots. Gemini was asked why showing a picture of a White person was bad: "racial generalizations" have been used historically to "justify oppression and violence against marginalized groups."   Let me interject here. We are NOW at the entrance to the End Times. As we progress farther into the Last Days many demonic forces will be loosed—many are already here—look at what has happened SINCE January, 2021. Lots of algorithms will be formulated (written) not only with ideological “bias” … BUT with demonic anointing: either by demonically inspired people OR by hybrid beings. And there will be increased demonstrable BIAS against Jews and Israel. ____________________________________ HYBRID One whose DNA has been changed by genetic manipulation (synthetic biology) OR A product of conception via sex between a fallen angel and a human woman. ____________________________________ There is a NEW form of eugenics—not only being espoused but heavily financed in research—to create super-humans via genetic modification of human genes in eggs, sperm and early-stage embryos. Heritable genome editing changes genes in eggs, sperm, or early embryos to try to control the traits of a future child. Such alterations would affect every cell of the resulting person and all subsequent generations. Read the book Enhanced Humans: Mystery Matrix by Prince Handley. The Nephilim [giants or fallen ones] that were destroyed by the Flood in Noah's day died; however the demons from Fallen Angels that inhabited them did not. You can read later in the Book of Numbers (Chapter 13:33) in Torah that they [the Nephilim] were back after the Flood. Again read my book: Enhanced Humans: Mystery Matrix. SO IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW … Yes! In addition to Coercion of Algorithims—while we're talking about things that can mess your life up—there are external attacks from terrorists and enemy agents (both individual and foreign governments) that can set you back to the 1800's literally. Things like EMP attacks that can shut down your automobile, your electronic devices, your hospital emergency centers, your military and police communications, your banks … and critical supplies. In the aftermath of an EMP event, individuals and communities may face several challenges: Loss of Communication: The disruption of communication networks can isolate communities, making it challenging to coordinate emergency responses and receive critical information. Limited Access to Information: Without functioning electronic devices, access to news, weather updates, and emergency alerts becomes limited. Transportation Disruptions: Modern transportation systems, which rely on electronic controls, may experience malfunctions, affecting travel and logistics. Financial Transactions: Electronic payment systems can be disrupted, requiring a shift to alternative forms of payment during recovery. Hospital and Emergency Operations: Electronic and necessary medical procedures plus critical supplies along with crisis communication. SO WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PREPARE … Glad you asked. Study carefully [read or listen] to “Code Red: EMP Threat Urgent Priority” by Prince Handley. Then prepare by making sure you have the following on hand: Food Water Electricy (Power) Money (Cash, Gold, Crypto) Communications Faraday Cage (or other EMP shielding equipment) NOTE: Gold outperformed both Stocks & Real Estate by over 80% since the year 2000. NOTE: Don't let a crisis keep you from the medicines you need. EMP Preparedness for Electronic Devices and Communication To enhance resilience and mitigate the impact of an EMP on electronic devices and communication networks, consider the following preparedness strategies: EMP Shielding: Invest in EMP shielding for critical electronic devices to protect them from damaging pulses. Backup Power Sources: Have backup power sources, such as solar chargers or hand-crank generators, to keep essential devices operational during power outages. Communication Alternatives: Establish communication backup plans using non-electronic means like two-way radios or signal mirrors. Data Backups: Regularly back up important data to physical storage and store in an EMP protected Faraday bag. DO NOT BE LEFT WTIHOUT COMMUNICATION … The effects of an Electromagnetic Pulse on electronic devices and communication networks are significant challenges in a technology-driven society. Understanding these effects empowers us to take proactive measures in EMP preparedness. And do NOT forget the impact of an EMP on transportation systems and the steps individuals, their neighbors, and communities can take to enhance their resilience in this critical area. SO … CAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS USE ALGORITHMS AND AI Defense customers and manufacturers alike know that it's those actors who can reliably access intelligence and act on it first who have the advantage. That's where AI and algorithims play a very important part. But what about IF those systems are being directed against Israel or USA by rogue terrorists OR enemies from within or abroad. As of January 2024, more than 7.2 million migrants had illegally crossed into the USA over the Southwest border during U.S. President Joe Biden's administration—a number higher than the individual populations of 36 states. This is WHY Israel needs to control Gaza AND to beef up intel from her Arab neighbors on all fronts! A foreign government can easily provide an individual terrorist inside Israel ... or near Israel ... with both the materials and the expertise to implement an EMP attack in LOCAL Israeli areas. This is NOT to mention EMP attacks aimed at Israel from outside her borders. [Again reference my teaching: “Code Red: EMP Threat Urgent Priority” to see how an attack can be launched from a beer can! But think about HOW non-EMP [other type] attacks programmed with algorithms and directed at specific geographic OR technocentric operations by AI can cause chaotic rupture in society! SO DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT AI … If you want to learn about “AI” go to Prince Handley's teachings at the University of Excellence. The following teachings will also give you an IDEA of HOW AI may be used in the End Times by the antiChrist (FALSE messiah—not the REAL Messiah) and his Global Director of Religion: the False Prophet. This will cause a chaotic rupture in geopolitics while fulfilling prophecy in the End Times. There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 1 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 2 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 3 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 4 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 5 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 6 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 7The 4th Industrial Revolution & New AI  - Part 8 Hopefully you've gained some enlightenment as to what forces may be shaping your future. ___________________________________ NOW YOU KNOW HOW THE COERCION OF ALGORITHMS AND "AI" FIT INTO GEOPOLITICS, ISRAEL AND THE END TIMES ____________________________________ SO WHAT ELSE DOES PRINCE HANDLEY RECOMMEND … Stop using Google / Gmail for your private email communications. I recommend: Proton Mail or Signal or Telegraph for private communications and text and email. All of these are FREE. I use them all. I like the layout of ProtonMail best for email and you can use Proton Mail for DOUBLE encryption. Also, you can make international phone calls FREE on Telegram and Signal. I like Telegram for layout with image and graphic communications, ether personal or with channels you implement with 1,000's of followers. Telegram has a great history of NOT bending to government requests!    Finally: Get off the grid as much as possible but prepare for chaos! Take EMT / EMS Training. Set up communication cells: Friends, Neighborhood, Community, Synagogue. Familiarize yourself with bartering. Have items you can trade for what you need. Make sure you know Yeshua personally … so you can PRAY and get direction.      _________________________________ PRAY THIS PRAYER: “ADONAI, I am not sure I know you personally. Please forgive my sins and help me to live for you. Please reveal to me IF Yeshua is really Israel's Mashiach. If He is, then I ask Yeshua HaMashiach to save me and take me to Heaven when I die. Show me the way every day, and help me to help others.” _________________________________ If you prayed this prayer, start reading the Tanakh and Brit Chadashah every day (start in the Book of Yochanan in Brit Chadashah). Find a Messianic Synagogue that believes in MIRACLES. Pray every day. Tell God what you need. Ask Him to lead you.

Then prepare by making sure you have the following on hand: Food Water Electricity (Power) Money (Cash, Gold, Crypto) Communications EMP shielding equipment and a Farady Cage GOLD, SILVER & PRECIOUS METALS (Asset Preservation) ~ I recommend Lear Capital. 24 hour Risk-Free Purchase Guarantee! FREE information on HOW precious metals can help preserve your hard-earned assets. Just last year most Seniors lost 22% on their IRA's. Find out what products are exempt from IRS reporting by Lear Capital. Lear is the Precious Metals Leader since 1997 with “Best-In-Class” reputation. Plus: Do NOT forget: Protect yourself from inflation! NOTE: Gold outperformed both Stocks & Real Estate by over 80% since the year 2000. COMMUNICATIONS ~ I recommend having a Satellite Phone, a PTT Phone (Push to TalK), or a Satellite Radio (can be also used by groups). Establish communication backup plans using non-electronic means like two-way radios or signal mirrors. NOTE: You can BUY or RENT the communications devices I recommend. MEDICAL SUPPLIES ~ I recommend Jase Medical. Use the DISCOUNT CODE “PRINCE” when checking out. Stock up with your necessary prescribed medicines and others, including Ivermectin and Amoxycillin. Lots of medicines are hard to obtain even now with China problems and supply chain interruptions. And it's NOT going to be any better with the multitudes of illegal immigrants (many of whom are terrorists) in our country now Compare Jase Medical prices with Walmart, Walgreens and Target.. NOTE: Don't forget to use the DISCOUNT CODE "PRINCE" when checking out.   PROTECTION FOR ALL YOUR ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND COMMUNICATIONS ~ You need an EMP SHIELD for your electronic and communication devices!To mitigate the impact of an EMP on electronic devices and communication networks, I recommend: EMP Shielding. Invest in EMP shielding for critical electronic devices to protect them from damaging pulses. Protect your home, vehicles, radios, solar, generators, RV, motorcycles, boats, and 3-Phase setups. Do NOT be left withut POWER!!! Use this DISCOUNT CODE “princehadley” for $50 DISCOUNT on each item. (NOTE: forget the misspell … use it.) Or, shop with THIS LINK and $50.00 DISCOUNT will be appllied for EACH item purchased. Also, PREPARE by doing the following:   Backup Power Sources: Have backup power sources, such as solar chargers or hand-crank generators, to keep essential devices operational during power outages. However, your best move is to PROTECT YOUR EXISTING ONES. Data Backups: Regularly back up important data to physical storage and store in an EMP protected Faraday bag.   The effects of an Electromagnetic Pulse on electronic devices and communication networks are significant challenges in a technology-driven society.

Most of us are familiar with China's Social Credit System and the CCP's ubiquitous use of surveillance. Online behaviour is monitored … and algortihms are KEY to everything. So HOW does this fit into Geopolitics, Prophecy and Your Health? Hang on for the ride! ____________________________________ ALGORITHMS, AI AND YOUR HEALTHCREATING YOUR FUTURE INDEPENDENCE For years the Chinese government has been using technologies to control its citizens in frightening ways. The internet is highly censored, and each person's cell phone number and online activity is assigned a unique ID number tied to their real name. Facial-recognition technology is also increasingly widespread in China, with few restraints on how it can be used to track and surveil citizens. The {China] Supreme People's Court maintains a blacklist of people who the government alleges did not comply with court judgments, for example by not paying fines, but also things like failing to formally apologize to someone they are found to have wronged. Being on the blacklist now comes with harsh punishments. You might be unable to purchase high-speed train tickets, fly on an airplane, or send your kids to a private school. The government has prohibited more than 20 million plane tickets from being purchased. SO WHAT IS AN ALGORITHM … An algorithm is a a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end. The definition of an algorithm is “a set of instructions to be followed in calculations or other operations.” This applies to both mathematics and computer science. So, at the essential level, an AI algorithm is the programming that tells the computer how to learn to operate on its own. SO HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO YOU ... What China and the CCP does “leaks” over to the USA and other countries. Online behavior is already a BIG part of what is monitors, and algorithms are KEY to everything. The basic goal is to process the vast USA data—and data from other countries—to create individual ratings which will determine YOUR access to most things … from travel to jobs. A plan released just recently by the Beijing municipal government dictates that personal creditworthiness points will be used to reward and/or punish individuals―and companies―by granting or denying them access to public services like healthcare, travel, and employment. High scoring “Green Channel” people can more easily access social opportunities. Those who actions are disapproved of by the state will be restricted …even to having passports revoked. One high profile system, which has already been used in USA for years, is Sesame Credit—created by Ant Financial—an offshoot of the Chinese online retail giant Alibaba. Using a secret algorithm, Sesame Credit constantlys scores people from 350 to 950. WARNNG: It's ratings are based upon info such as “interpersonal relationships” and “consumer habits.” Being friends with “low rated” people is NOT good … and buying video games gets you marked down! Algorithms fuel—or dictate—HOW these surveillance tools operate … and AI facilitates the operation! SO WHAT ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT ALPHABETS … You can speak all you want to … but just not in a public forum: like a local School Board Meeting OR on Social Media. [Just look back to what has happened since January 2021.] Your actions are going to be monitored more and more. How many of the people arrested for alleged Jan 6th crimes never were in the area but some communication or relationship supposedly “tied” them to that event. Look at how the Government is atttacking Elon Musk who “healed” X (formerly Twitter) and exposed unfounded censorship by Government influence on the previous Twitter. Across the world, governments have invested heavily in setting up a surveillance infrastructure. There are millions of cameras, but no one to monitor them 24/7. However, artificial intelligence (AI) can process every frame and present real-time analysis. The reason AI is making a vast impact is because of its self-learning capabilities. AI is constantly learning and improving. Error is minimized with every iteration and moves closer to—or even better than—human error. Algorithms “attempt” to influence you now whether you realize it or not. Surveillance of travel, purchases, relationships, recreation and spending—and soon thoughts—will be the next encroachment into YOUR life. The Biden Adminiistration is already funding cognitive research to develop HOW to influence—and thereby change—your thinking. One way they will do this is by influencing what you SEE, HEAR and FEEL on News, Social Media and Entertainment … and by training people and shaping policy through NeuroScience. Read or listen to Smart Cities … Or Are They by Prince Handley [focus on “What To Watch Out For” at the end.] SO WHO TRAINS “AI” HOW TO MAKE DECISIONS … That's a very good question. It is the programmer who inputs—influences—the algorithmic outcome (the answers) and many times with BIAS depending on the desired outcome: political, financial, spiritual or other ideological opinion or bias. Look at the recent example of Google AI Gemini which would NOT allow a “white person” image on certain searches for George Washington. Gemini responded to a prompt for “a portrait of a Founding Father of America” with images of a Native American man in a traditional headdress, a Black man, a darker-skinned non-White man and an Asian man, all in colonial-era garb. Elon Musk accused Google of pushing a pro-diversity bias into its product. Experts have long warned that AI tools therefore have the potential to replicate the racial and gender biases baked into that information. Evidence of racial bias in Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Meta AI and ChatGPT has been proven. Google's public apology after its Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) produced historically inaccurate images and refused to show pictures of White people has led to questions about potential racial bias in other big tech chatbots. Gemini was asked why showing a picture of a White person was bad: "racial generalizations" have been used historically to "justify oppression and violence against marginalized groups." Let me interject here. We are NOW at the entrance to the End Times. As we progress farther into the Last Days many demonic forces will be loosed—many are already here—look at what has happened since January, 2021. Lots of algorithms will be formulated (written) not only with ideological “bias” … BUT with demonic anointing: either by demonically inspired people OR by hybrid beings. ____________________________________ HYBRID One whose DNA has been changed by genetic manipulation (synthetic biology) OR A product of conception via sex between a fallen angel and a human woman. ____________________________________ There is a NEW form of eugenics—not only being espoused but heavily financed in research—to create super-humans via genetic modification of human genes in eggs, sperm and early-stage embryos. Heritable genome editing changes genes in eggs, sperm, or early embryos to try to control the traits of a future child. Such alterations would affect every cell of the resulting person and all subsequent generations. Read the book Enhanced Humans: Mystery Matrix by Prince Handley. The Nephilim [giants or fallen ones] that were destroyed by the Flood in Noah's day died; however the demons from Fallen Angels that inhabited them did not. You can read later in the Book of Numbers in the Tanakh (Old Testament) that they were back after the Flood. Again read my book: Enhanced Humans: Mystery Matrix. SO IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW … Yes! In addition to Coercion of Algorithims—while we're talking about things that can mess your life up—there are external attacks from terrorists and enemy agents (both individual and foreign governments) that can set you back to the 1800's literally. Things like EMP attacks that can shut down your automobile, your electronic devices, your hospital emergency centers, your military and police communications, your banks … and critical supplies. In the aftermath of an EMP event, individuals and communities may face several challenges: Loss of Communication: The disruption of communication networks can isolate communities, making it challenging to coordinate emergency responses and receive critical information. Limited Access to Information: Without functioning electronic devices, access to news, weather updates, and emergency alerts becomes limited. Transportation Disruptions: Modern transportation systems, which rely on electronic controls, may experience malfunctions, affecting travel and logistics. Financial Transactions: Electronic payment systems can be disrupted, requiring a shift to alternative forms of payment during recovery. Hospital and Emergency Operations: Electronic and necessary medical procedures plus critical supplies along with crisis communication. SO WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PREPARE … Glad you asked. Study carefully [read or listen] to “Code Red: EMP Threat Urgent Priority” by Prince Handley. Then prepare by making sure you have the following on hand: Food Water Electricy (Power) Money (Cash, Gold, Crypto) Communications Faraday Cage (or other EMP shielding equipment) For GOLD, SILVER & PRECIOUS METALS (Asset Preservation) I recommend Lear Capital. 24 hour Risk-Free Purchase Guarantee! FREE information on HOW precious metals can help preserve your hard-earned assets. Just last year most Seniors lost 22% on their IRA's. Find out what products are exempt from IRS reporting by Lear Capital. Lear is the Precious Metals Leader since 1997 with “Best-In-Class” reputation. Plus: Do NOT forget: Protect yourself from inflation! NOTE: Gold outperformed both Stocks & Real Estate by over 80% since the year 2000. For COMMUNICATIONS I recommend having a Satellite Phone, a PTT Phone (Push to TalK), or a Satellite Radio (can be also used by groups). For a Faraday Cage to protect your electronic devices, go here: EMP Shield. NOTE: You can BUY or RENT the communications devices I recommend. For MEDICAL SUPPLIES I recommend Jase Medical. Stock up with your necessary prescribed medicines and others, including Ivermectin and Amoxycillin. Lots of medicines are hard to obtain even now with China problems and supply chain interruptions. And it's NOT going to be any better with the multitudes of illegal immigrants (many of whom are terrorists) in our country now. PREPARE with Jase Medical! NOTE: Don't let a crisis keep you from the medicines you need. EMP Preparedness for Electronic Devices and Communication To enhance resilience and mitigate the impact of an EMP on electronic devices and communication networks, consider the following preparedness strategies: All of the following are available from the Satellite Phone Store I recommend. EMP Shielding: Invest in EMP shielding for critical electronic devices to protect them from damaging pulses. Backup Power Sources: Have backup power sources, such as solar chargers or hand-crank generators, to keep essential devices operational during power outages. Communication Alternatives: Establish communication backup plans using non-electronic means like two-way radios or signal mirrors. Data Backups: Regularly back up important data to physical storage and store in an EMP protected Faraday bag. DO NOT BE LEFT WTIHOUT COMMUNICATION … PREPARE NOW! The effects of an Electromagnetic Pulse on electronic devices and communication networks are significant challenges in a technology-driven society. Understanding these effects empowers us to take proactive measures in EMP preparedness. And do NOT forget the impact of an EMP on transportation systems and the steps individuals, their neighbors, and communities can take to enhance their resilience in this critical area. SO CAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS USE ALGORITHMS AND AI ... Defense customers and manufacturers alike know that that it's those actors who can reliably access intelligence and act on it first who have the advantage. That's where AI and algorithims play a very important part. But what about IF those systems are being directed against us by rogue terrorists OR enemies from within or abroad. As of January 2024, more than 7.2 million migrants had illegally crossed into the U.S. over the Southwest border during U.S. President Joe Biden's administration—a number higher than the individual populations of 36 states. A foreign government can easily provide an individual terrorist inside the USA with both the materials and the expertise to implement an EMP attack in local areas. [Again reference my teaching: “Code Red: EMP Threat Urgent Priority” to see how an attack can be launched from a beer can! But think about HOW non-EMP [other type] attacks programmed with algorithms and directed at specific geographic OR technocentric operations by AI can cause chaotic rupture in society! SO DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT AI … If you want to learn about “AI” go to Prince Handley's teachings at the University of Excellence. The following teachings will also give you an IDEA of HOW AI may be used in the End Times by the antiChrist (FALSE messiah—not the REAL Messiah) and his Global Director of Religion: the False Prophet. This will cause a chaotic rupture in geopolitics while fulfilling prophecy in the End Times. There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 1 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 2 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 3 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 4 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 5 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 6 There's More Than Artifical Intelligence - Part 7The 4th Industrial Revolution & New AI – Part 8 Hopefully you've gained some enlightenment as to what forces may be shaping your future. ___________________________________ NOW YOU KNOW HOW THE COERCION OF ALGORITHMS AND "AI" FIT INTO GEOPOLITICS, PROPHECY AND YOUR HEALTH ____________________________________ SO WHAT ELSE DOES PRINCE HANDLEY RECOMMEND … Stop using Google AND Gmail for your personal and private email communications. I recommend: Proton Mail or Signal or Telegraph for private communications and text and email. All of these are FREE. I use them all. I like the layout of ProtonMail best and you can use the Proton Mail for DOUBLE encryption.   SO … FINALLY [  ] Get off the grid as much as possible but prepare for chaos! [  ] Take EMT / EMS Training so you can help sick or wounded people. [  ]  Set up communication cells: Friends, Neighborhood, Community, Church / Synagogue. [  ] Familiarize yourself with bartering. Have items you can trade for what you need. [  ] Make sure you know Messiah Jesus personally … so you can PRAY and get direction. ____________________________________ PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Father in Heaven, I am not sure I know you personally. Please forgive my sins and help me to live for you. I ask your Son, Jesus, to save me and take me to Heaven when I die. Show me the way every day, and help me to help others.” ____________________________________   If you prayed this prayer: [  ] Start reading the Holy Bible every day (start first in the Book of John). [  ] Find a Church or Messianic Synagogue that preaches the Holy Bible and believes in MIRACLES.[  ] Pray every day … tell God what you need, and ask Him to lead you.   Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai Your friend, Prince Handley President / Regent University of Excellence Copyright © 2024 by Prince Handley OPPORTUNITY Donate to Handley WORLD SERVICES Incorporated and help Prince Handley do EXPLOITS in the Spirit OTHER KEY RESOURCES Prince Handley Videos and Podcasts Rabbinical & Biblical Studies The Believers' IntelligentsiaPrince Handley Portal (1,000's of FREE resources) Prince Handley Books VIDEO Describing Prince Handley Books _________________________________

Abstract: Environmental exposures produce heritable traits that can linger in the population for one or two generations. Millions of individuals consume substances such as artificial sweeteners daily that are declared safe by regulatory agencies without evaluation of their potential heritable effects. We show that consumption of aspartame, an FDA-approved artificial sweetener, daily for up to 16-weeks at doses equivalent to only 7-15% of the FDA recommended maximum daily intake value (equivalent to 2-4 small, 8 oz diet soda drinks per day) produces significant spatial learning and memory deficits in mice. Moreover, the cognitive deficits are transmitted to male and female descendants along the paternal lineage suggesting that aspartame's adverse cognitive effects are heritable, and that they are more pervasive than current estimates, which consider effects in the directly exposed individuals only. Traditionally, deleterious environmental exposures of pregnant and nursing women are viewed as risk factors for the health of future generations. Environmental exposures of men are not considered to pose similar risks. Our findings suggest that environmental exposures of men can produce adverse impact on mental health of future generations and demonstrate the need for considering heritable effects via the paternal lineage as part of the regulatory evaluations of artificial sweeteners.

Abstract: The heritability of human connectomes is crucial for understanding the genetic and environmental factors that influence variations in connectomes, which can provide insights into behavior and disease. However, current approaches to studying connectome heritability assume an associational effect and often rely on modeling assumptions that may not hold true for complex, high-dimensional connectome data. In this study, we propose a causal perspective to investigate connectome heritability, using statistical models that capture the underlying structure and dependence within connectomes. These models allow us to explicitly define different notions of connectomic heritability by removing common structures with increasing complexity across connectomes. We develop a non-parametric test to detect and test for these notions of heritability and apply it to connectomes estimated from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) diffusion data, demonstrating their heritability after accounting for confounding variables such as brain anatomy, age, and sex. This work highlights the potential of using statistical modeling of networks and causal methods to study connectome heritability, ultimately providing a better understanding of the genomic influences on brain connectivity.

Abstract: Matrix around cells exerts many effects, some of which depend on the putative tumor suppressor Myosin-II, but whether such factors affect DNA sequences in a cell remains unclear. Here, live-cell monitoring of changes to chromosome copy numbers is developed and studied under diverse perturbations, including Myosin-II inhibition in confined mitosis. Squeezing of mitotic cells is seen in vivo and kills in vitro, but stem cells and cancer cells that survive show heritable loss of mono-allelic GFP/RFP-tagged constitutive genes that function as novel Chromosome-reporters (ChReporters). Myosin-II suppression increases such loss in 3D & 2D confinement but not in standard 2D, with lethal multipolar divisions proving myosin-dependent. Viable chromosome loss after confined mitosis associates more with mis-segregation than with multipolars or division number. Solid human tumors and teratomas in mice also show ChReporter loss and a confinement-signature of Myosin-II suppression, although losses are selected against in 2D culture. Heritable loss in rigid-confinement also appears independent of a spindle assembly checkpoint that functions in 2D. Confinement and myosin-II thus regulate pathways of heritable mechanogenetic change. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info Podcast created by Paper Player, LLC

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.10.527950v1?rss=1 Authors: Pauls, K. A. M., Salmela, E., Korsun, O., Kujala, J., Salmelin, R., Renvall, H. Abstract: Individuals' phenotypes, including the brain's structure and function, are largely determined by genes and their interplay. The resting brain generates salient rhythmic patterns which can be characterized non-invasively using functional neuroimaging such as magnetoencephalography (MEG). One of these rhythms, the somatomotor ('rolandic') beta rhythm, shows intermittent high amplitude 'events' which predict behavior across tasks and species. Beta rhythm is altered in neurological disease. The aperiodic ('1/f') signal present in electrophysiological recordings is also modulated by some neurological conditions and aging. Both sensorimotor beta and aperiodic signal could thus serve as biomarkers of sensorimotor function. Knowledge about the extent to which these brain functional measures are heritable could shed light on the mechanisms underlying their generation. We investigated the heritability and variability of human spontaneous sensorimotor beta rhythm and aperiodic activity in 210 healthy adult siblings' spontaneous MEG activity. Both the overall beta spectral power as well as time-resolved beta event amplitude parameters were highly heritable, whereas the heritabilities for peak frequency and measures of event duration remained nonsignificant. Interestingly, the most heritable trait was the aperiodic 1/f signal, with a heritability of 0.94 in the right hemisphere. Human sensorimotor neural activity can thus be dissected into different components with variable heritability. We postulate that differences in heritability in part reflect different underlying signal generating mechanisms. The 1/f signal and beta event amplitude measures may depend more on fixed, anatomical parameters, whereas beta event duration and its modulation reflect dynamic characteristics, guiding their use as potential disease biomarkers.

This guideline updates and widens the scope of the previous British Society for Haematology (BSH) Clinical guidelines for testing for heritable thrombophilia1 to include both heritable and acquired thrombophilia. The term thrombophilia is generally used to describe hereditary and/or acquired conditions associated with an increased predisposition to thrombosis. Heritable thrombophilia refers to genetic disorders of specific haemostatic proteins. These guidelines focus only on the factors that are identified from laboratory testing and therefore exclude disorders such as cancer, inflammatory conditions and obesity that are associated with thrombosis through multiple mechanisms.

Recorded on 30 June 2022 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a discussion with Dr Calum MacKellar. What will it mean for society if science enables us to choose a future child whose health, athletic ability or intelligence is predetermined? This future is becoming ever more likely with the latest developments in human reproduction. New procedures, making possible heritable genome modifications open the door to ‘sanitized' selective eugenics; but these practices have some unnerving similarities to the discredited eugenic programmes of early twentieth-century regimes. A Christian perspective is urgently needed to evaluate both current and future selection practices. After completing his Diplome d'Ingénieure in bio-organic chemistry with the European High Institute of Chemistry, now part of the University of Strasbourg, in France, Dr MacKellar obtained his doctorate in Biochemistry with the University of Stuttgart in Germany. He worked with the University of Edinburgh as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and then in Glasgow industry synthesising new kinds of DNA to be used as possible drugs against disorders such as AIDS. He taught biological chemistry & bioethics at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, before returning to Strasbourg to work with the Bioethics Division of the Council of Europe. Since 2003 he has been the Director of Research of a Scottish bioethics charity and a Visiting Lecturer & Professor in bioethics at St Mary's University, London. He is a member of the United Free Church of Scotland and is the author of The Ethics of the New Eugenics (2014) and Christianity and the New Eugenics (2020).

I thought it was going to be canceled, but you were like the only events that I saw even still happens. I'm like, dang, she pulled this off. I better get to it. Yeah, it was, it was, we had to move venues two weeks before like really I was literally pulled out from under us and they're like, Hey, we're not gonna, we're not gonna be able to load your event.Speaker 2 (01:33):I'm like, Oh, what do you want me to do? Call like 600 people and just tell them, Hey, we're moving. Like not doing it. Like, like, what do you want me to do? So I'm like me and me door knock. And Sam, I just go start knocking on venues. I'm like, how about deer? How about here? How about here? And I just started calling. There's not a ton of options in Utah with like to fit that many people and vendors. And it was hard, but, uh, yeah. So, but yeah, kudos. You've pulled it off. I'm just, I was, I was sad that David Goggins didn't want to come anymore, get seatbelt. He got scared of COVID dude. Like he literally was like, Oh, I'm just nervous to travel with Kona. And I was like, you can't hurt me. What dad is doc. They're like, no iron cowboy. And he's doing his hundred Ironman right now in a hundred days. And there's anybody that James Lawrence was like, yeah, David Goggins a. And I was like, anybody can say that you got some balls to shake. I'll shut my mouth. They'll beat my, I thought it was funny that John Maxwell comes and he's like, what? 70, 80 years old? I literally tell John Maxwell. I was like, Hey, I was so shocked that you came David Goggins Belden. And John Maxor goes, Oh, COVID, it's a joke. It's not real.Speaker 2 (02:54):I was like, Oh, it's not even real. That's awesome. I didn't know.Speaker 3 (03:01):But he was so cool. I have so much more respect for Maxwell. Like just how he showed up and like just who he is. I mean, I'm excited. I'm excited for this next year. We're we're vetting some speakers right now. I'm not going to say, but, um, we're open to suggestions too. So if anybody's listening to this, like I'm friends with Mark Cuban, I'd be like, yes. So I am throwing that out to the universe. Um, so connect me if you guys know of any good keynotes, so,Speaker 2 (03:33):Okay, good, good. Oh, cool. Um, so hopefully you should all know who Sam is, but I guess if you don't, I mean, he's the door to door master. He's started door to door experts. He has the door to door podcasts. So I'm, unless it's like your first day or something, you probably should have heard of Sam by now. I would hope. Um, but yeah, that's what he's about. So if you haven't go subscribe to his podcasts, he's done a good ton of awesome stuff. And we'll talk about his event. He has coming up soon. Um, but Sam, what I kind of wanted to jam on today is just the first app, uh, podcast we did with you. We focus more on like the solar specific stuff. Like I think we did kind of like a live role play thing and, um, you know, broke down objections, things like that. So this time I kind of wanted to focus on what you've really just learned to views. You've consulted all these companies and you've been doing this for years. You've probably seen what works, what doesn't work now have a ton ideas on that. So I kind of wanted to see just kind of the broader, um, perspective, I guess now. So in all your consulting, what do you see that is making a big difference for the solar companies you work with? I guess what's, what's been helping the companies you work with.Speaker 3 (04:43):Um, it's everybody asks me like, what are the behaviors that I should be doing? Right. Like teach me the right pay skills, teach me the right. You know, knocking techniques teach me the right training. What they're not asking is then like I go to most companies and they'd never really understand why they're a company. Like what's their identity. And I'm finding the companies that really get clarity around their vision, their core values, their identity and, and anchoring in some sound foundational elements of like what our mission is. Then it's so much easier to couple on the, the, the behaviors and the structures and all the other things that follow up. Um, so a big piece of what we do a lot of times is just help realign them because even businesses that have been around for 10 years, I mean, we've consulted some, you know, billion dollar companies and it's like, we're just sitting here kind of like, you've lost your, your mojo.Speaker 3 (05:43):You've lost, like why you even exist. You're just like in this mud of like, we're just like rowing, but with no direction, like, so where are we going? I don't know, you know, another 10 million. And it's like, okay, where we go? And I'm like, you're people are losing a little bit of their love because they don't see the vision. They, they, they're not getting communicated with on the path. They're not getting in a role every week, every month, every year, why they should realist re-enlist in your company. Does that make sense? So like a lot of big problems in this industry is turnover. A lot of big problem in this industry is how do I avoid getting my reps to go start their own company or go to my, get poached or, or ask for more money or whatever that is. And I'm like, yeah, they got to understand like where you're going for sure. Driving themselves.Speaker 2 (06:38):Yeah. Yeah, no. And I know that was, that was a big problem. We had it's one of the previous companies I worked for is, um, we would hire, we, it was a setter closer model, so we would hire all these setters on, but then, um, you know, fast forward a few months, the setters started hearing how much like the closers can make and, you know, even reps from other companies and things like that. And then they want, they start asking how they can progress. And, um, the culture is basically you can't progress. We want you to just keep, you know, keep sending bills. Um, so just cause a ton of turnover. Yeah. We had some solid guys, but they wanted like, what's that next step? How can we progress into like closing the managing or whatever the next thing is. So yeah, I think that is super important and just creating that vision and just helping guys see what the next step step is, where they can go. So when you're consulting these companies, how do you get them to like, what are the steps you take them through to help them out with this and create like, I dunno that vision and keep their reps motivated and all that.Speaker 3 (07:37):Yeah. And every, every like, I mean the first thing is every company is unique. And so it's really understanding, like getting down to the root of what, what, what do you want? You know what I mean? It's like some companies, like we have a pest control company that we kept asking me like, well, are you building this to sell off your accounts? Are you building this to just keep building a reoccurring residual? Or are you building this to go and you know, build more in an empire all over. Do you want to stay at a local guy and lean and mean, and take big distributions? Do you want to keep reinvesting? Like, I don't know, you tell me. And I'm like, well, I'm not going to tell you what you want. Like that there'll be some purpose. If I just projected what I want on you in a week, you're going to be like, well, that's maybe not what I want.Speaker 3 (08:24):And I'm like, but the fact that you can't answer, what do you want? That's the impediment to your real growth and success. The clarity when you can understand what you want and, and define it and clarity and, and then go into why you want it, then it makes it easier to go and, and, and construct. So a lot of the things I start with is like, what do you want? Like, what do you want? Let's fast forward a year. What do you want to have happen? Let's fast forward five years. What would you want to have happen? Oh, I want to be selling off in an distance. So The Bahamas in Selma company, I'm like, okay, what assets do you have? What's the, what's the enterprise value. You're fricking sales, or you don't even install. Do you have any IP? Do you have any actual value located? And let's start putting some tracks down right now, putting some enterprise value to where somebody to actually transact, like you're going to sell to like a, I don't know, like, well, how do you, how do you, so when you don't even know what type of buyers are looking to buy you.Speaker 3 (09:22):Okay. And I'm like, okay, you're going to have to private equity and banks. Are you going after a bigger solar company acquire you? And why would you, why would a bigger solar company buy you if they're already there? Like, what is like, what value like, and so I just start quizzing them and they're just like, I don't know. And I'm like, okay, at least you've got your wheels turning. And so being a coach or a consultant, it's like, it's fun because I get to ask the questions. They're afraid to ask themselves, but they know deep down inside there should be asking themselves and they're just avoiding it.Speaker 2 (09:55):No, that's key. And I think, um, that's something that even just sells people can do too, is I think you talked about this just on your most recent episode is just that, like, why exercise, figuring out why you're trying to do the things that you do and like a, you know, Dean Grasiozi talks about like the seven whys and it's just digging super deep on the why. And most people I know when I did that exercise, I didn't know why I, I, I I'd tough time answering the questions of why I wanted to do anything. So when you take seven levels deep,Speaker 3 (10:26):It's hard. And another exercise that I didn't mention that podcast. That's a good one. It's like, okay. So where are you? You know, you're going to go build this solar company and then what, and then, you know, do it with me. So you, Taylor, you're running the solar company. So, so you build this solar company and then what?Speaker 2 (10:48):Um, I, um, I sell it and, or sell the solar company. So, um, make tons of money retire and yeah, just vacation the rest of the time.Speaker 3 (11:06):So you would make tons of money, you vacation and then, and then what?Speaker 2 (11:13):Um, yeah, just spend time with my kids, help them with soccer practice andSpeaker 3 (11:20):You go skiing. And then one,Speaker 2 (11:23):Um, then I bias, uh, I started doing some real estates by some houses. Um, andSpeaker 3 (11:34):So you buy some real estate, you buy some houses.Speaker 2 (11:39):Um, and then I start buying some commercial, commercial, real estate, some apartment units. Um, and then I, um, yeah, I don't know. I buy an Island. You bought some on the Island? Um, I, yeah, I dunno. Just relax on the islands. Just hang out there. It's my life.Speaker 3 (12:10):You've got these cars, properties. You're relaxing on an Island and then we'll,Speaker 2 (12:15):Um, I,Speaker 3 (12:19):You can't think so. You're just now trying to answer, right. But you're trying to give me an answer just to give you an answer. I get it. The point is, and then you die.Speaker 2 (12:29):Yeah. Okay. Eventually you're going to die out of that,Speaker 3 (12:34):But most people never even think they, like, I challenge them like this. And then what, and then what, and I'm like, so where are you going? And then they're like, Oh, then I do this. And then I do this. And I'm like, okay. And then, but then you die. And what happens is so many people are so preoccupied about like this life after death or there's, where do we come from? And what's the purpose. And I'm like, we need to preoccupied more about, is there life before death? Is there life now? Is there happiness? Like we chased this whole, like, I'm going to be a $10 million company one day. Okay. And then it's like, where are you going? And I think I watched these businesses. They just, like, I literally just had this tech company in here. They're like, we're going to do this thing.Speaker 3 (13:14):We're gonna do this. And then we're going to sell in three years. And then, and then, and then, and I'm like, you know, is it like, is this going to kill us and make us terribly unsatisfied trying to do it? Or are we going to be happy doing this? Is it fun? Are we aligned? Is it is what's now like, I love looking in the future and I love living in taking risks, but I think so often businesses, they they're so focused sometimes on an exit. They're so focused on the life after death. Once I'm done knocking doors, life will be good. I'm done running the solar company in the mud and the chaos I'll then be in the sunset. And I'm like, really what happened?Speaker 2 (13:59):Yeah.Speaker 3 (14:01):Hold on. Let's reevaluate who you are and how you're living. And nine times out of 10, it switches to more of a personal development leadership conversation because I go, you're chasing something. That's just not even really something you need to cling to. And you're disappointed because you're not selling or making enough, or you're super satisfied because you're making more than you ever thought. But you're clinging to this expectation, this ideal that you've created somehow in your mind. And we need to deconstruct that sometimes and say, let's get to the roots.Speaker 2 (14:36):Yeah, for sure. And I think it's, yeah, to that point, all the people that are knocking, especially in solar, we hear that all the time is like, Oh, I'm just going to get, uh, online needs now, because now I don't have to knock anymore. Or I start managing, then I don't have to like knock anymoreSpeaker 3 (14:57):Managing, like I can only babysit now know these crazy hours for X amount of years. And then they're like, Oh, then what? I just am like, how about you just love what you do now.Speaker 2 (15:07):Yeah. That's huge. So yeah, something that comes to mind. Um, I know you helped Mo fall on those boys. Simple solar. Um, I was talking to him, he was telling me that you guys helped, uh, you know, their company out a lot, probably on some of these same things. Um, but I don't know. Do you have any stories around that or any, any companies that you've helped them kind of identify those big things to turn them around? Yeah.Speaker 3 (15:31):Yeah. I like take Mo perfect case study doing 30 a month. Com brings a bunch of sales guys to our sales summit last year. So we just had our sales summit last week in Nashville last year, we did it in Vegas. You know, it's just a new company, young entrepreneurs, 24, 25 years old is saying, okay, I'm going to do this. And he's hungry. He's ambitious. He's got swaggers is the right profile. If I could go recruit a guy like that, you're like, like he's, he's a step. It's not just Mo it's. Josh has his VP. It's John it's Anthony it's it's. They have a lot of good reps that are young, hungry and ambitious. And it was really easy for a guy like him to get caught up in the I'm happy selling my 50 deals, 30 deals a month making a fat override and let's just be okay.Speaker 3 (16:14):And he took a big plunge. He joined my mastermind, even though he was the youngest dude in my mastermind group. Most of these guys are big CEOs. And, um, he then hires us to consultant and which is a six figure dollar amount. I mean, and when we consult a company it's like deep, deep, we recruit for you. And we recruited probably 30, 40% of his people up to Matt, a bunch of bodies. We helped them put a bunch of his sales systems together as training platforms, his strategy, his areas, his schedule, how he runs his meetings, how he runs his competitions, how he does like all of that. Like we just said, let him lay this out there. We call it the unfair advantage. And um, I mean, that's what we really do. We have a bunch of experts and, um, Brandon was their expert and he's a stead.Speaker 3 (16:57):And, um, what he came to summit, he says, all right, I'm in, let's do this. And we add a compete against another one of our clients. It's also another fat success story of voltaic, right? In the same backyard. We said, let's compete them against each other because too often companies don't have an act antagonist to fight. So we just launched this national knocking league amongst all of our consulting clients to facilitate something similar. Um, but what it is is we said, okay, let's put this in place. And last month in March, he just did 300 solar deals. So it's like, he went, he 10 Xed, his whole company over the last 12 months. And that we've been working with them. And it's been really fun to watch him develop as a leader because speed of the leader should be the team he was in pouring into himself to say, and he was that squeaky wheel.Speaker 3 (17:46):We have a lot of clients, some of them never talked to us that, you know, they only raised their hand when we asked them to raise their hand. But Mo is the type that milk probably out of what he paid us three times out of what he paid us. Does that make sense? Like we have agreed to doing this for him. And we ended up doing this because he was always calling us always. I mean, he came on our company triumph and he was like, how do I hang out with you guys? Way more? Like, how do I be more and more and more and more and more and more involved so that I can get more and more and more and more out of understanding what the collective of solar, what the collective of door to door sales reps with the collective of the network and what you guys bring to the table. And he did it right. Like I, uh, I applauded like, literally I was like, you don't need me anymore. Like I literally, it was like, you fly little birdie. I got like a bunch of little companies that are trying to freaking figure what you just did out and I need to go help them. You know? So for me, it's, it's, uh, it's really fun. I could give you 20 use cases like that over the last 12 months that we have, he's just really loud about it. But, um, he's a dude, what a studSpeaker 2 (18:51):Heritable. I know, I couldn't believe it. I gone on the state. Yeah. I mean at door to door con, um, he hopped on the stage and like, I thought it was other guys winning awards, but his entire team up there on the stage when I can't, what, what word did he win up there? Is that like just the biggest growth or something you guys grow with someone? Yeah.Speaker 3 (19:10):So anyway, we have the duty industry awards we launched this year because I felt like, you know, he didn't win a golden door award because he didn't sell that much, but it's impressive what he did as far as growth. And I think having those industry awards is kind of cool this year, just having top management top recruiter or talk, you know, company growth. And I'm excited to see how that progressed for regresses. And the hall of fame was a cool one this year. And new people being inducted into the hall of fame will be exciting. And every year the event just gets cooler and go on like that.Speaker 2 (19:45):Yeah. No, no doubt. So yeah. Super cool success story. Um, yeah, we've interviewed Mo on the podcasts of you didn't hear that. You can go check it out for all our listeners. Um, yeah, I'll send it to you. But yeah, the last thing I kind of wanted to touch on Sam is just, I know you probably had a lot of experience in your consulting. Other companies too, is just helping them get that good culture. And it's something that, um, yeah, I've, you know, companies I'm with, we struggle with it all the time, just building like that working culture, especially in solar, like we were talking about just a lot of easy guys and not wanting to put on like the minimum amount of time to get their results. So what do you do? How did you help Moe and these other companies you work with, what do you do to help them get that good culture and just get these guys to stick?Speaker 3 (20:29):Well, it's cool. I went to lunch yesterday with a guy named Steven, a buddy of mine. He was in charge of the culture department of vivid Inc in alarm. Um, there's a guy named Kevin Swiss. He worked under him. He assumed he has now left. He works for a restaurant company. Um, this other guy Damon just left and went to work for similar silicones. So there's probably like four or five key players discussion was there. Video Damon was designed and we call it sales and sales marketing department. And these guys were all in charge of their events, their design, their videos, but not for the customer or most people spend so much money and time developing that for the customer where they're too cheap because they don't see the ROI spending money and time putting a sales marketing department. It's all for internal. And the companies that are winning are investing more money to market to their salespeople than they do to their customer base because they see an immediate ROI.Speaker 3 (21:25):They say, Oh, I get one lead. I close one lead that equals X dollars, but they don't compute is the value of a good events team, a good marketing team, internal design video clout scoreboards because of the culture. So like Viven solar, Alex COO. She also worked on the sales marketing team of Bindman solar, but she had about a $5 million budget. I did a year just in swag. And you say, okay, why did they make money on these competitions with the prizes and this and that? No, they actually broke even. But what they wanted to do is elevate the waterline by showing their reps a new level of personal performance through competition. So a good culture, isn't just designed by con competition. It's by vision it's by relationships. You know, a lot of people, they don't take the meaningful time to build a relationship with their people.Speaker 3 (22:23):So they just hire bodies and say, good luck. Here's your pay scale. Go make it happen. Um, it's by app innovation and showing uniqueness and competitive advantage. If I'm just one company amongst the mixed of all the other same company, he's using the same stuff, doing the same thing, but it makes me interesting. Um, you know, so, so you, culture is created by design, not by default. And what most people end up doing is they just have a default culture that they fall into based on their competency to orchestrate culture. You look at, and I'm not trying to toot my horn, but we've created, we said, DDD is going to become a culture. Like you're you have that plaque behind you with pride. You're like, look, I was a golden door winner and it means something. And we made it mean something and we highlight it and we say this, it is a big deal.Speaker 3 (23:10):We talk about it, everybody listening, you, we do 130. We upped the ante. It's 130 installs 2021. And that means I'm one of the elite of the elite. And, you know, is there anything meaningful in your company that looks like that? Um, you know, we do community type stuff where it's like, we have a nonprofit, we're doing ways that people can participate. We're highlighting certain people. We're, we're collectively saying let's, let's create value. And, um, we're, we're associating with cool influences like John Maxwell's and Jordan Belfort's and people like that. Like, so what are we doing as a company to make us interesting and cool. What are the relationships that we're building? I mean, me and you, we've created a relationship over the few years, even though it's not like we hang out and go to dinner every night. It's just like, we still talk on Instagram.Speaker 3 (24:03):We still, you know, there's still like an association of like, cool. And are you doing that with your sales people? Or is it kind of like, yeah, I don't want to talk to them. They don't matter to me. Like all those things create culture. And my question is what is the systems that you're intentional around implementing your core values to create a culture so that everybody in uniforming uniformally? Oh my gosh. My first manager is calling me the dude, that management alarms, my very first year, I haven't talked to him 10 years. Um, what are we doing to create that culture? And I think people are just trying to think that by having, I don't know, by being a company, that means they have a culture.Speaker 2 (24:50):That's no, that's yeah. I love those points. And it's funny you say all these things, you're saying I it's some of the exact same things that Moe was talking about. Like, I know he's doing those same things. He has like a marketing department, basically marketing to his reps right now. He's paying a social media guy, like thousands and thousands to create like, you know, social media content for his reps and like the leaderboards and all those things.Speaker 3 (25:15):We said, you have to do that in order to be play in the big leagues, smell like you want to play in the big leagues. That's what makes this company a retainable leader influence in the space. And he is just milking it and killing it. Yeah.Speaker 2 (25:33):That's incredible. But no, yeah. That's huge. And um, yeah, some good things to think about. For sure for me is we're trying to build the culture. I love doing the podcast. Cause I can ask about a lot of other things that like, like I'm struggling myself with, on the teams. So I go out and find the best and the best of that. I'm just gonna ask them my questions.Speaker 3 (25:52):My guess. I'm like, I get it. I get paid for people. Realize I literally had like a culture reset meeting this morning with my recruiting department. And I was like, guys, let's like revamp this thing and let's have a heart to heart. And I, I mean, I'm, I'm literally like finding opportunities to implement the same stuff. I preach just like anybody else, guys, like it's people think on the outside, like, Oh, they must have it all together. I'm like, no, it's not easy. I'm like, no we don't. But we're trying and getting the right people empowered in the right positions is so important to getting the culture bought in. But you need like, all I did today was like, guys, this is where we're going as a company, guys, this is what's happening, guys. This is like, where what's next? And they were all like, Oh, I needed that. You haven't told us that in the last week. Like, it's just crazy how often you have to remind people to be like, this is what we're about.Speaker 2 (26:49):Yeah, no, yeah. No doubt. No doubt. Yeah. Well Sam, thanks for sharing these things with us. Yeah. Super important for our listeners create that culture, create the vision, create the relationships. And then, um, also you mentioned just being part of something bigger. Um, Moto, I don't know if Moe is doing this anymore, but he was, um, when I had him on the show, he was talking about doing a sales competition where it was a thousand dollar buy-in and then all the money that's people bought in with the winner got to donate it to a charity of their choice. So things like that, I'm like, wow, that's super cool, man. Like you're not just winning something. You can donate your thousand dollar buy in. Whoever wins the competition to something bigger, you know, something that you can stand behind. So I think that's another thing that companies miss is, um, you know, create that vision behind the scenes and make it more than just money. As you talked about competitions and other meaningful things you can do. So say I'm I know we got to wrap up pretty quick. Let you get to your, uh, call with your, your first manager there.Speaker 3 (27:48):That's exciting. It's so fun. I'm like really?Speaker 2 (27:53):That's awesome. Um, but yeah, before we wrap up here, can you tell people about the event you have coming up, you're doing some event on the road and then just maybe where people can find you and reach out to you.Speaker 3 (28:04):So the D tour is coming up, we're going May 17th to LA. Then like the 19th to Phoenix. Then we go to Dallas. Then we go to Atlanta. Then we go to Orlando, Charlotte, Newark, New Jersey, Chicago, Denver, and salt Lake city. So we're hosting 10 events in 10 States and driving around the country where you can for 40 bucks, bring your whole sales team per ticket and come and do a half day sales training. It's like people are sick of hearing tailoring this correlation meeting, teaching the same crap. Let's be like, just run a better cooler sales meeting where I train and we've got a tax and a finance and a real estate and you know, kind of some other cool speakers that are going to be doing some panels. And um, in each of these markets and I'm really just training on, um, really cool sales techniques and, and getting your people some new relevant stuff and fired up to give them some juice to go into the next couple of weeks. You know,Speaker 2 (29:02):See, I guess I guy that blew my mind 40 bucks if you're not there. I mean, you're not going to find it cheaper than that.Speaker 3 (29:08):Yeah. I've never, I literally, I, my whole team. So like we have a sales bootcamp next week, so anybody that's injured. I mean, you're probably wanting to hear this by the time it's out. But like we host a sales bootcamp is a thousand bucks. It's two day event. We host a business bootcamp, 2,500 bucks.

If you've been a time listener, you have probably heard the episode with the man, the myth, the legend to Sam Taggart. And we're fortunate enough today to have him back on the show. So Sam, thanks for coming back. Once again, he must be doing something right for you to agree to come on the show again. No, I'm, I'm excited to hear, to spread the love, you know? Yeah. Well, you're doing awesome things, man. And, um, I'm just happy that you pull off a door to, to work on steel during COVID. I thought it was going to be canceled, but you were like the only events that I saw even still happens. I'm like, dang, she pulled this off. I better get to it. Yeah, it was, it was, we had to move venues two weeks before like really I was literally pulled out from under us and they're like, Hey, we're not gonna, we're not gonna be able to load your event.Speaker 2 (01:33):I'm like, Oh, what do you want me to do? Call like 600 people and just tell them, Hey, we're moving. Like not doing it. Like, like, what do you want me to do? So I'm like me and me door knock. And Sam, I just go start knocking on venues. I'm like, how about deer? How about here? How about here? And I just started calling. There's not a ton of options in Utah with like to fit that many people and vendors. And it was hard, but, uh, yeah. So, but yeah, kudos. You've pulled it off. I'm just, I was, I was sad that David Goggins didn't want to come anymore, get seatbelt. He got scared of COVID dude. Like he literally was like, Oh, I'm just nervous to travel with Kona. And I was like, you can't hurt me. What dad is doc. They're like, no iron cowboy. And he's doing his hundred Ironman right now in a hundred days. And there's anybody that James Lawrence was like, yeah, David Goggins a. And I was like, anybody can say that you got some balls to shake. I'll shut my mouth. They'll beat my, I thought it was funny that John Maxwell comes and he's like, what? 70, 80 years old? I literally tell John Maxwell. I was like, Hey, I was so shocked that you came David Goggins Belden. And John Maxor goes, Oh, COVID, it's a joke. It's not real.Speaker 2 (02:54):I was like, Oh, it's not even real. That's awesome. I didn't know.Speaker 3 (03:01):But he was so cool. I have so much more respect for Maxwell. Like just how he showed up and like just who he is. I mean, I'm excited. I'm excited for this next year. We're we're vetting some speakers right now. I'm not going to say, but, um, we're open to suggestions too. So if anybody's listening to this, like I'm friends with Mark Cuban, I'd be like, yes. So I am throwing that out to the universe. Um, so connect me if you guys know of any good keynotes, so,Speaker 2 (03:33):Okay, good, good. Oh, cool. Um, so hopefully you should all know who Sam is, but I guess if you don't, I mean, he's the door to door master. He's started door to door experts. He has the door to door podcasts. So I'm, unless it's like your first day or something, you probably should have heard of Sam by now. I would hope. Um, but yeah, that's what he's about. So if you haven't go subscribe to his podcasts, he's done a good ton of awesome stuff. And we'll talk about his event. He has coming up soon. Um, but Sam, what I kind of wanted to jam on today is just the first app, uh, podcast we did with you. We focus more on like the solar specific stuff. Like I think we did kind of like a live role play thing and, um, you know, broke down objections, things like that. So this time I kind of wanted to focus on what you've really just learned to views. You've consulted all these companies and you've been doing this for years. You've probably seen what works, what doesn't work now have a ton ideas on that. So I kind of wanted to see just kind of the broader, um, perspective, I guess now. So in all your consulting, what do you see that is making a big difference for the solar companies you work with? I guess what's, what's been helping the companies you work with.Speaker 3 (04:43):Um, it's everybody asks me like, what are the behaviors that I should be doing? Right. Like teach me the right pay skills, teach me the right. You know, knocking techniques teach me the right training. What they're not asking is then like I go to most companies and they'd never really understand why they're a company. Like what's their identity. And I'm finding the companies that really get clarity around their vision, their core values, their identity and, and anchoring in some sound foundational elements of like what our mission is. Then it's so much easier to couple on the, the, the behaviors and the structures and all the other things that follow up. Um, so a big piece of what we do a lot of times is just help realign them because even businesses that have been around for 10 years, I mean, we've consulted some, you know, billion dollar companies and it's like, we're just sitting here kind of like, you've lost your, your mojo.Speaker 3 (05:43):You've lost, like why you even exist. You're just like in this mud of like, we're just like rowing, but with no direction, like, so where are we going? I don't know, you know, another 10 million. And it's like, okay, where we go? And I'm like, you're people are losing a little bit of their love because they don't see the vision. They, they, they're not getting communicated with on the path. They're not getting in a role every week, every month, every year, why they should realist re-enlist in your company. Does that make sense? So like a lot of big problems in this industry is turnover. A lot of big problem in this industry is how do I avoid getting my reps to go start their own company or go to my, get poached or, or ask for more money or whatever that is. And I'm like, yeah, they got to understand like where you're going for sure. Driving themselves.Speaker 2 (06:38):Yeah. Yeah, no. And I know that was, that was a big problem. We had it's one of the previous companies I worked for is, um, we would hire, we, it was a setter closer model, so we would hire all these setters on, but then, um, you know, fast forward a few months, the setters started hearing how much like the closers can make and, you know, even reps from other companies and things like that. And then they want, they start asking how they can progress. And, um, the culture is basically you can't progress. We want you to just keep, you know, keep sending bills. Um, so just cause a ton of turnover. Yeah. We had some solid guys, but they wanted like, what's that next step? How can we progress into like closing the managing or whatever the next thing is. So yeah, I think that is super important and just creating that vision and just helping guys see what the next step step is, where they can go. So when you're consulting these companies, how do you get them to like, what are the steps you take them through to help them out with this and create like, I dunno that vision and keep their reps motivated and all that.Speaker 3 (07:37):Yeah. And every, every like, I mean the first thing is every company is unique. And so it's really understanding, like getting down to the root of what, what, what do you want? You know what I mean? It's like some companies, like we have a pest control company that we kept asking me like, well, are you building this to sell off your accounts? Are you building this to just keep building a reoccurring residual? Or are you building this to go and you know, build more in an empire all over. Do you want to stay at a local guy and lean and mean, and take big distributions? Do you want to keep reinvesting? Like, I don't know, you tell me. And I'm like, well, I'm not going to tell you what you want. Like that there'll be some purpose. If I just projected what I want on you in a week, you're going to be like, well, that's maybe not what I want.Speaker 3 (08:24):And I'm like, but the fact that you can't answer, what do you want? That's the impediment to your real growth and success. The clarity when you can understand what you want and, and define it and clarity and, and then go into why you want it, then it makes it easier to go and, and, and construct. So a lot of the things I start with is like, what do you want? Like, what do you want? Let's fast forward a year. What do you want to have happen? Let's fast forward five years. What would you want to have happen? Oh, I want to be selling off in an distance. So The Bahamas in Selma company, I'm like, okay, what assets do you have? What's the, what's the enterprise value. You're fricking sales, or you don't even install. Do you have any IP? Do you have any actual value located? And let's start putting some tracks down right now, putting some enterprise value to where somebody to actually transact, like you're going to sell to like a, I don't know, like, well, how do you, how do you, so when you don't even know what type of buyers are looking to buy you.Speaker 3 (09:22):Okay. And I'm like, okay, you're going to have to private equity and banks. Are you going after a bigger solar company acquire you? And why would you, why would a bigger solar company buy you if they're already there? Like, what is like, what value like, and so I just start quizzing them and they're just like, I don't know. And I'm like, okay, at least you've got your wheels turning. And so being a coach or a consultant, it's like, it's fun because I get to ask the questions. They're afraid to ask themselves, but they know deep down inside there should be asking themselves and they're just avoiding it.Speaker 2 (09:55):No, that's key. And I think, um, that's something that even just sells people can do too, is I think you talked about this just on your most recent episode is just that, like, why exercise, figuring out why you're trying to do the things that you do and like a, you know, Dean Grasiozi talks about like the seven whys and it's just digging super deep on the why. And most people I know when I did that exercise, I didn't know why I, I, I I'd tough time answering the questions of why I wanted to do anything. So when you take seven levels deep,Speaker 3 (10:26):It's hard. And another exercise that I didn't mention that podcast. That's a good one. It's like, okay. So where are you? You know, you're going to go build this solar company and then what, and then, you know, do it with me. So you, Taylor, you're running the solar company. So, so you build this solar company and then what?Speaker 2 (10:48):Um, I, um, I sell it and, or sell the solar company. So, um, make tons of money retire and yeah, just vacation the rest of the time.Speaker 3 (11:06):So you would make tons of money, you vacation and then, and then what?Speaker 2 (11:13):Um, yeah, just spend time with my kids, help them with soccer practice andSpeaker 3 (11:20):You go skiing. And then one,Speaker 2 (11:23):Um, then I bias, uh, I started doing some real estates by some houses. Um, andSpeaker 3 (11:34):So you buy some real estate, you buy some houses.Speaker 2 (11:39):Um, and then I start buying some commercial, commercial, real estate, some apartment units. Um, and then I, um, yeah, I don't know. I buy an Island. You bought some on the Island? Um, I, yeah, I dunno. Just relax on the islands. Just hang out there. It's my life.Speaker 3 (12:10):You've got these cars, properties. You're relaxing on an Island and then we'll,Speaker 2 (12:15):Um, I,Speaker 3 (12:19):You can't think so. You're just now trying to answer, right. But you're trying to give me an answer just to give you an answer. I get it. The point is, and then you die.Speaker 2 (12:29):Yeah. Okay. Eventually you're going to die out of that,Speaker 3 (12:34):But most people never even think they, like, I challenge them like this. And then what, and then what, and I'm like, so where are you going? And then they're like, Oh, then I do this. And then I do this. And I'm like, okay. And then, but then you die. And what happens is so many people are so preoccupied about like this life after death or there's, where do we come from? And what's the purpose. And I'm like, we need to preoccupied more about, is there life before death? Is there life now? Is there happiness? Like we chased this whole, like, I'm going to be a $10 million company one day. Okay. And then it's like, where are you going? And I think I watched these businesses. They just, like, I literally just had this tech company in here. They're like, we're going to do this thing.Speaker 3 (13:14):We're gonna do this. And then we're going to sell in three years. And then, and then, and then, and I'm like, you know, is it like, is this going to kill us and make us terribly unsatisfied trying to do it? Or are we going to be happy doing this? Is it fun? Are we aligned? Is it is what's now like, I love looking in the future and I love living in taking risks, but I think so often businesses, they they're so focused sometimes on an exit. They're so focused on the life after death. Once I'm done knocking doors, life will be good. I'm done running the solar company in the mud and the chaos I'll then be in the sunset. And I'm like, really what happened?Speaker 2 (13:59):Yeah.Speaker 3 (14:01):Hold on. Let's reevaluate who you are and how you're living. And nine times out of 10, it switches to more of a personal development leadership conversation because I go, you're chasing something. That's just not even really something you need to cling to. And you're disappointed because you're not selling or making enough, or you're super satisfied because you're making more than you ever thought. But you're clinging to this expectation, this ideal that you've created somehow in your mind. And we need to deconstruct that sometimes and say, let's get to the roots.Speaker 2 (14:36):Yeah, for sure. And I think it's, yeah, to that point, all the people that are knocking, especially in solar, we hear that all the time is like, Oh, I'm just going to get, uh, online needs now, because now I don't have to knock anymore. Or I start managing, then I don't have to like knock anymoreSpeaker 3 (14:57):Managing, like I can only babysit now know these crazy hours for X amount of years. And then they're like, Oh, then what? I just am like, how about you just love what you do now.Speaker 2 (15:07):Yeah. That's huge. So yeah, something that comes to mind. Um, I know you helped Mo fall on those boys. Simple solar. Um, I was talking to him, he was telling me that you guys helped, uh, you know, their company out a lot, probably on some of these same things. Um, but I don't know. Do you have any stories around that or any, any companies that you've helped them kind of identify those big things to turn them around? Yeah.Speaker 3 (15:31):Yeah. I like take Mo perfect case study doing 30 a month. Com brings a bunch of sales guys to our sales summit last year. So we just had our sales summit last week in Nashville last year, we did it in Vegas. You know, it's just a new company, young entrepreneurs, 24, 25 years old is saying, okay, I'm going to do this. And he's hungry. He's ambitious. He's got swaggers is the right profile. If I could go recruit a guy like that, you're like, like he's, he's a step. It's not just Mo it's. Josh has his VP. It's John it's Anthony it's it's. They have a lot of good reps that are young, hungry and ambitious. And it was really easy for a guy like him to get caught up in the I'm happy selling my 50 deals, 30 deals a month making a fat override and let's just be okay.Speaker 3 (16:14):And he took a big plunge. He joined my mastermind, even though he was the youngest dude in my mastermind group. Most of these guys are big CEOs. And, um, he then hires us to consultant and which is a six figure dollar amount. I mean, and when we consult a company it's like deep, deep, we recruit for you. And we recruited probably 30, 40% of his people up to Matt, a bunch of bodies. We helped them put a bunch of his sales systems together as training platforms, his strategy, his areas, his schedule, how he runs his meetings, how he runs his competitions, how he does like all of that. Like we just said, let him lay this out there. We call it the unfair advantage. And um, I mean, that's what we really do. We have a bunch of experts and, um, Brandon was their expert and he's a stead.Speaker 3 (16:57):And, um, what he came to summit, he says, all right, I'm in, let's do this. And we add a compete against another one of our clients. It's also another fat success story of voltaic, right? In the same backyard. We said, let's compete them against each other because too often companies don't have an act antagonist to fight. So we just launched this national knocking league amongst all of our consulting clients to facilitate something similar. Um, but what it is is we said, okay, let's put this in place. And last month in March, he just did 300 solar deals. So it's like, he went, he 10 Xed, his whole company over the last 12 months. And that we've been working with them. And it's been really fun to watch him develop as a leader because speed of the leader should be the team he was in pouring into himself to say, and he was that squeaky wheel.Speaker 3 (17:46):We have a lot of clients, some of them never talked to us that, you know, they only raised their hand when we asked them to raise their hand. But Mo is the type that milk probably out of what he paid us three times out of what he paid us. Does that make sense? Like we have agreed to doing this for him. And we ended up doing this because he was always calling us always. I mean, he came on our company triumph and he was like, how do I hang out with you guys? Way more? Like, how do I be more and more and more and more and more and more involved so that I can get more and more and more and more out of understanding what the collective of solar, what the collective of door to door sales reps with the collective of the network and what you guys bring to the table. And he did it right. Like I, uh, I applauded like, literally I was like, you don't need me anymore. Like I literally, it was like, you fly little birdie. I got like a bunch of little companies that are trying to freaking figure what you just did out and I need to go help them. You know? So for me, it's, it's, uh, it's really fun. I could give you 20 use cases like that over the last 12 months that we have, he's just really loud about it. But, um, he's a dude, what a studSpeaker 2 (18:51):Heritable. I know, I couldn't believe it. I gone on the state. Yeah. I mean at door to door con, um, he hopped on the stage and like, I thought it was other guys winning awards, but his entire team up there on the stage when I can't, what, what word did he win up there? Is that like just the biggest growth or something you guys grow with someone? Yeah.Speaker 3 (19:10):So anyway, we have the duty industry awards we launched this year because I felt like, you know, he didn't win a golden door award because he didn't sell that much, but it's impressive what he did as far as growth. And I think having those industry awards is kind of cool this year, just having top management top recruiter or talk, you know, company growth. And I'm excited to see how that progressed for regresses. And the hall of fame was a cool one this year. And new people being inducted into the hall of fame will be exciting. And every year the event just gets cooler and go on like that.Speaker 2 (19:45):Yeah. No, no doubt. So yeah. Super cool success story. Um, yeah, we've interviewed Mo on the podcasts of you didn't hear that. You can go check it out for all our listeners. Um, yeah, I'll send it to you. But yeah, the last thing I kind of wanted to touch on Sam is just, I know you probably had a lot of experience in your consulting. Other companies too, is just helping them get that good culture. And it's something that, um, yeah, I've, you know, companies I'm with, we struggle with it all the time, just building like that working culture, especially in solar, like we were talking about just a lot of easy guys and not wanting to put on like the minimum amount of time to get their results. So what do you do? How did you help Moe and these other companies you work with, what do you do to help them get that good culture and just get these guys to stick?Speaker 3 (20:29):Well, it's cool. I went to lunch yesterday with a guy named Steven, a buddy of mine. He was in charge of the culture department of vivid Inc in alarm. Um, there's a guy named Kevin Swiss. He worked under him. He assumed he has now left. He works for a restaurant company. Um, this other guy Damon just left and went to work for similar silicones. So there's probably like four or five key players discussion was there. Video Damon was designed and we call it sales and sales marketing department. And these guys were all in charge of their events, their design, their videos, but not for the customer or most people spend so much money and time developing that for the customer where they're too cheap because they don't see the ROI spending money and time putting a sales marketing department. It's all for internal. And the companies that are winning are investing more money to market to their salespeople than they do to their customer base because they see an immediate ROI.Speaker 3 (21:25):They say, Oh, I get one lead. I close one lead that equals X dollars, but they don't compute is the value of a good events team, a good marketing team, internal design video clout scoreboards because of the culture. So like Viven solar, Alex COO. She also worked on the sales marketing team of Bindman solar, but she had about a $5 million budget. I did a year just in swag. And you say, okay, why did they make money on these competitions with the prizes and this and that? No, they actually broke even. But what they wanted to do is elevate the waterline by showing their reps a new level of personal performance through competition. So a good culture, isn't just designed by con competition. It's by vision it's by relationships. You know, a lot of people, they don't take the meaningful time to build a relationship with their people.Speaker 3 (22:23):So they just hire bodies and say, good luck. Here's your pay scale. Go make it happen. Um, it's by app innovation and showing uniqueness and competitive advantage. If I'm just one company amongst the mixed of all the other same company, he's using the same stuff, doing the same thing, but it makes me interesting. Um, you know, so, so you, culture is created by design, not by default. And what most people end up doing is they just have a default culture that they fall into based on their competency to orchestrate culture. You look at, and I'm not trying to toot my horn, but we've created, we said, DDD is going to become a culture. Like you're you have that plaque behind you with pride. You're like, look, I was a golden door winner and it means something. And we made it mean something and we highlight it and we say this, it is a big deal.Speaker 3 (23:10):We talk about it, everybody listening, you, we do 130. We upped the ante. It's 130 installs 2021. And that means I'm one of the elite of the elite. And, you know, is there anything meaningful in your company that looks like that? Um, you know, we do community type stuff where it's like, we have a nonprofit, we're doing ways that people can participate. We're highlighting certain people. We're, we're collectively saying let's, let's create value. And, um, we're, we're associating with cool influences like John Maxwell's and Jordan Belfort's and people like that. Like, so what are we doing as a company to make us interesting and cool. What are the relationships that we're building? I mean, me and you, we've created a relationship over the few years, even though it's not like we hang out and go to dinner every night. It's just like, we still talk on Instagram.Speaker 3 (24:03):We still, you know, there's still like an association of like, cool. And are you doing that with your sales people? Or is it kind of like, yeah, I don't want to talk to them. They don't matter to me. Like all those things create culture. And my question is what is the systems that you're intentional around implementing your core values to create a culture so that everybody in uniforming uniformally? Oh my gosh. My first manager is calling me the dude, that management alarms, my very first year, I haven't talked to him 10 years. Um, what are we doing to create that culture? And I think people are just trying to think that by having, I don't know, by being a company, that means they have a culture.Speaker 2 (24:50):That's no, that's yeah. I love those points. And it's funny you say all these things, you're saying I it's some of the exact same things that Moe was talking about. Like, I know he's doing those same things. He has like a marketing department, basically marketing to his reps right now. He's paying a social media guy, like thousands and thousands to create like, you know, social media content for his reps and like the leaderboards and all those things.Speaker 3 (25:15):We said, you have to do that in order to be play in the big leagues, smell like you want to play in the big leagues. That's what makes this company a retainable leader influence in the space. And he is just milking it and killing it. Yeah.Speaker 2 (25:33):That's incredible. But no, yeah. That's huge. And um, yeah, some good things to think about. For sure for me is we're trying to build the culture. I love doing the podcast. Cause I can ask about a lot of other things that like, like I'm struggling myself with, on the teams. So I go out and find the best and the best of that. I'm just gonna ask them my questions.Speaker 3 (25:52):My guess. I'm like, I get it. I get paid for people. Realize I literally had like a culture reset meeting this morning with my recruiting department. And I was like, guys, let's like revamp this thing and let's have a heart to heart. And I, I mean, I'm, I'm literally like finding opportunities to implement the same stuff. I preach just like anybody else, guys, like it's people think on the outside, like, Oh, they must have it all together. I'm like, no, it's not easy. I'm like, no we don't. But we're trying and getting the right people empowered in the right positions is so important to getting the culture bought in. But you need like, all I did today was like, guys, this is where we're going as a company, guys, this is what's happening, guys. This is like, where what's next? And they were all like, Oh, I needed that. You haven't told us that in the last week. Like, it's just crazy how often you have to remind people to be like, this is what we're about.Speaker 2 (26:49):Yeah, no, yeah. No doubt. No doubt. Yeah. Well Sam, thanks for sharing these things with us. Yeah. Super important for our listeners create that culture, create the vision, create the relationships. And then, um, also you mentioned just being part of something bigger. Um, Moto, I don't know if Moe is doing this anymore, but he was, um, when I had him on the show, he was talking about doing a sales competition where it was a thousand dollar buy-in and then all the money that's people bought in with the winner got to donate it to a charity of their choice. So things like that, I'm like, wow, that's super cool, man. Like you're not just winning something. You can donate your thousand dollar buy in. Whoever wins the competition to something bigger, you know, something that you can stand behind. So I think that's another thing that companies miss is, um, you know, create that vision behind the scenes and make it more than just money. As you talked about competitions and other meaningful things you can do. So say I'm I know we got to wrap up pretty quick. Let you get to your, uh, call with your, your first manager there.Speaker 3 (27:48):That's exciting. It's so fun. I'm like really?Speaker 2 (27:53):That's awesome. Um, but yeah, before we wrap up here, can you tell people about the event you have coming up, you're doing some event on the road and then just maybe where people can find you and reach out to you.Speaker 3 (28:04):So the D tour is coming up, we're going May 17th to LA. Then like the 19th to Phoenix. Then we go to Dallas. Then we go to Atlanta. Then we go to Orlando, Charlotte, Newark, New Jersey, Chicago, Denver, and salt Lake city. So we're hosting 10 events in 10 States and driving around the country where you can for 40 bucks, bring your whole sales team per ticket and come and do a half day sales training. It's like people are sick of hearing tailoring this correlation meeting, teaching the same crap. Let's be like, just run a better cooler sales meeting where I train and we've got a tax and a finance and a real estate and you know, kind of some other cool speakers that are going to be doing some panels. And um, in each of these markets and I'm really just training on, um, really cool sales techniques and, and getting your people some new relevant stuff and fired up to give them some juice to go into the next couple of weeks. You know,Speaker 2 (29:02):See, I guess I guy that blew my mind 40 bucks if you're not there. I mean, you're not going to find it cheaper than that.Speaker 3 (29:08):Yeah. I've never, I literally, I, my whole team. So like we have a sales bootcamp next week, so anybody that's injured. I mean, you're probably wanting to hear this by the time it's out. But like we host a sales bootcamp is a thousand bucks. It's two day event. We host a business bootcamp, 2,500 bucks. Um, and then everyone's like in 2000 bucks last year for door-to-door cotton bucks. And people were like, I literally was like, I'm not even doing it to make money. Like I just want to pay for the venue guys. I'm doing it because I want to get out on the streets. So I'm going to go knock in each of these markets. And I was like, this is my way of getting out of my comfort zone and giving back. And really we're actually just promoting the DDD association. The certification is coming out next week.Speaker 3 (29:51):So level one, not non-profits, it's a, it's a certification that the door to door association is launched that will educate on sales practices, licensing terms, things like that for door to door, people to be validated by a third party and gain credibility in the streets. So it's a passion project that I've been pushing and really that's the big push. So that's awesome. We're doing incredible things. So we salute you, Sam, we appreciate you for the value you're adding to the industry, change, changing the lives of the solar professionals, professionals, our solar printers. So thanks again for coming on the show and guys we'll hope we hope to see you at the next event Sam's doing. It's going to be awesome. 40 bucks. You can't beat it. So be there. And, uh, Sam, thanks for coming on the show today. Thank you. Appreciate it. Okay. We'll talk soon.Speaker 1 (30:46):Hey Solarpreneurs. Quick question.

Interview with Eli Y. Adashi, MD, MS, author of Heritable Human Genome Editing: The International Commission Report

A conversation with Dame Kay Davies, University of Oxford geneticist and co-chair of the just-published international commission report on Hereditary Human Genome Editing (HHGE), which lays out a roadmap for if, when, and how we should proceed with embryo editing for couples with severe genetic diseases.

In this episode, I talk about my experience with a family member with Alzheimer's and how this applies to people with heritable family conditions like cancer genes or a strong family history of cancer. We go over how to adress your fear, how to release your guilt and how to feel better about the situation in general.

As I said in a BreakPoint commentary last month, gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR and what's being called “Prime Editing” are “existential threats.” We have no idea what our attempts to play god with the human genome will unleash on humanity. Yet, we insist on charging ahead despite our imperfect knowledge with an unbounded confidence in our abilities. Coming from a concerned non-scientist like me, these concerns can be easily dismissed as alarmist, but what if the concern comes from the Director of the National Institutes of Health? It turns out that Francis Collins is also concerned. In a recent article in Discover Magazine entitled “We Must Never Allow Our Technology to Eclipse Our Humanity,” Collins called for a “moratorium of at least five years on heritable human gene editing.” Heritable gene editing technologies, like “Prime Editing,” aim to edit genes that can be passed on to future generations, along with any unintended and dangerous mutations. This differs from “non-heritable gene editing,” which can be used to treat people with “life-threatening disorders, such as sickle cell disease, HIV infection, cancer and muscular dystrophy.” Proponents of Prime Editing talk about the possibility of making “any kind of DNA change that anyone wants at just about any site in the human genome.” Thus, according to Collins, “scientists and leaders around the globe have an obligation to consider the appropriate use — if any — of heritable human gene editing. This involves scrutinizing the safety of such experiments, including the risk of unintended mutations, as well as a clear-eyed analysis of actual medical need.” Anticipating some objections, the NIH Director added that “the current arguments — that the benefits outweigh the risks — are surprisingly uncompelling.” Finally, Collins insisted that “We must weigh the profound social, ethical and moral issues associated with modifying the germline in ways that could change the human species forever.” It's good to hear someone as prominent as the director of the National Institutes of Health voice many of the same concerns we have at BreakPoint. But, as Wesley J. Smith pointed out at National Review, it's probably not enough. As Smith notes, when it comes to “the rapid development of the most powerful technologies ever invented — CRISPR germline gene editing, “artificial life,” “3-parent” embryos, cloning,” the Trump Administration has been, and I am quoting Smith here, “derelict.” For the most part, while NIH Director Collins' statement should be applauded, it is an exception. As Smith states, “unless leaders higher up the food chain engage the question in more amplified media venues than Discover,” Collins' proposed moratorium will never happen. In some ways, as I recently pointed out, the Communist Party of China, by sentencing Dr. He Jiankui to three years imprisonment for experimenting on fetuses using CRISPR, has demonstrated more commitment to reining in scientific hubris than our own government. Of course, given their track record, it would be silly to think that Beijing cares at all about humanity dignity and the sanctity of human life. Their reaction was almost certainly because Dr. He's transgressions portrayed that country in an especially bad light. In our country, scientists differ from Dr. He in only one respect: They're a lot more subtle about what they are doing than Dr. He was. We need much more evidence that those “higher up the food chain” in this administration care about the issue and are willing to make it a priority. For that to happen, we have let them know that it's a priority for us. Gene editing, what Smith has called “biotech anarchy,” is among the greatest threats to the sanctity and dignity of human life that we currently face. I will say it again: It is an existential threat. It's time for Christians, and through them our leaders, to treat it like one.  

Every year, the President submits a budget request to Congress, but how much attention does Congress pay to those requests? In this episode, we compare the Trump administration requests to the amounts actually provided by Congress for fiscal year 2018.
