I sat down with someone who left me speechless. Nico DeGiacomo, better known as Mass of Man, isn't just a rapper or internet personality. He's a fighter.

But instead of giving up, Nico chose to change everything.In this raw, deeply vulnerable conversation, Nico opens up about food addiction, mental illness, his darkest moments, and the turning point that sparked a viral 100-day transformation, one that's now inspired millions. We talk about the power of accountability, his unbreakable friendship with Anakin, the emotional weight behind his music, and how he's rewriting his story in real time.This episode is for anyone who's ever felt stuck in a cycle they couldn't escape. It's about addiction, healing, resilience, and what's possible when someone finally believes in you and when you believe in yourself.Whether you're battling your own demons or know someone who is, Nico's story will move you.

[Genesis 37:5-11] One night Joseph had a dream, and when he told his brothers about it, they hated him more than ever. [6] “Listen to this dream,” he said. [7] “We were out in the field, tying up bundles of grain. Suddenly my bundle stood up, and your bundles all gathered around and bowed low before mine!” [8] His brothers responded, “So you think you will be our king, do you? Do you actually think you will reign over us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dreams and the way he talked about them. [9] Soon Joseph had another dream, and again he told his brothers about it. “Listen, I have had another dream,” he said. “The sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed low before me!” [10] This time he told the dream to his father as well as to his brothers, but his father scolded him. “What kind of dream is that?” he asked. “Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow to the ground before you?” [11] But while his brothers were jealous of Joseph, his father wondered what the dreams meant. ________________ dreams can cloud us from hearing God's dream.

Surround yourself with _____________ If you want to know God's dream for your life, get to _________ __________. [Ephesians 3:20] Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

It's no secret that the B2B sales game has become harder and harder. With more informed buyers, the same old sales techniques aren't working at the same success rate to convert prospects to customers. But, what should sales reps and leaders do to really move the sales needle? The answer is simple: better prospecting! Yet, the key to doing this successfully often comes down to your sales cadence and the specific actions you're taking and when. This is the topic we cover in a special episode of the Modern Selling Podcast with one of the greatest minds in sales. Priya Sachdev is the Chief Customer Officer, here at Vengreso. She is responsible for Vengreso's Customer Success and Support team as well as all implementation, training, coaching, and delivery of the entire LaaS (Learning as a Service) and SaaS technology suite to the 1,100+ companies that Vengreso has served. Priya has been in the sales training industry for over 20 years and has overseen sales enablement for a leading global provider of digital transformation services as well as serving for 13 years at Miller Heiman Group, where she was the Enterprise Sales Transformation Leader, responsible for consulting with clients globally in sales transformation. In addition, she served as the Vice President of APAC where she was instrumental in overseeing, accelerating, and delivering sales training, methodology, and consulting to the APAC region. If that wasn't enough, Priya has been named as one of the top 25 Most Influential Women in India by CEO Magazine and recognized as one of the 10 Successful Women to Watch by Insights Success. Make sure to tune in to the full conversation to see the specific sales cadence and prospecting strategies are working now to book more meetings, fill pipelines, and get to a sale even faster! How Do You Get to the First Sales Conversation? Going from a cold outreach message to a sales call is often the hardest part of the entire sales cycle. That's why when we polled almost 1,300 sales professionals, 69% of them acknowledged that the most challenging part of their work was getting the first conversation. At Vengreso, we created a full prospecting guide with our unique PVC methodology that walks through the secret formula we've found that works to engage prospects with EVERY message. So, I was curious to hear Priya's perspective on what sales reps can do to lower the barrier to entry and get to a sales call faster. She shares, “we're in a sales pandemic and the biggest problem with prospecting is that sales reps are not following through. The sales cadence and the sales channels used are not right for the target audience.” I've seen in my 20+ years of sales that follow-through is everything if you want to close big deals. But, all too often, sales leaders overemphasize quantity over quality, which leaves lots of money left on the table. Join the conversation and download this episode to learn more about what's working to get prospects to lean in with the first message. What Are the Best Channels for Prospecting? In today's hyperconnected world, there are so many ways that we can reach and engage with prospects. From social media to email, to SMS, to phone calls – we're not short on channels to choose from. However, so many sales reps focus on one channel and never diversify their approach. Studies have found that when you use one channel you can expect about 10% engagement. If you add a second, third, or fourth channel to reach prospects, then you can increase your engagement by 400%! That's why at Vengreso, we take a multi-channel strategy that includes four key parts of our sales cadence: Connecting on LinkedIn Sending a personalized text message Following up with email Using video to engage In my conversation with Priya, we dive deeper into how to implement each of these channel strategies to increase prospecting success. This part of the conversation alone can be game-changing if you've been struggling to get higher prospect engagement with your current sales cadence. Get a pen and paper ready and listen to the episode now. Pay particular attention to the first 15 minutes for actionable insights that you can apply today to your sales cadence to produce better results – without adding extra work. How Should You Use Sales Automation Tools? This can be a tricky question to answer. Because although automation can help to streamline processes and increase your sales productivity, it can also be the reason sales reps aren't closing deals. Modern B2B buyers are savvy enough to know a personalized message from an automated response. Personalized messages get responses back. Automated, generic messages do not. It's really that simple. But, automation does still have its place in the sales process. Using powerful tools like FlyMSG can be great to make it easier for you to quickly personalize your sales messages. In addition, leveraging LinkedIn's Sales Navigator can give your sales teams incredible insights into which connections to make, who to engage to get to a sales call, and what personalized bits of information you can insert into your messages. Modern seller beware! Sales tools are only effective when you know how to use them properly. As I always say, “a fool with a tool, is still a fool.” This is why having the right sales training and using sales tools in the right parts of your sales cycle are so critical. Make sure to listen to this episode to hear what unique strategies we're using at Vengreso to land bigger deals, increase our prospecting success, and make the B2B selling process seamless!

Listen to Episode 161: What Do You Want and How Do You Get it? What you think, what you want, and what you do. You need to train your brain to be more acute, more aware. You want to handle your level 10 problems at level 10 energy. How your Mindset works: What is the function of your thoughts? What is the function of your emotions? Of your actions? “Here is a breakdown of how your mindset works.” We want a mindset that works 100% FOR us, not against us. Excerpt from You Are a Badass at Making Money: ”Your beliefs are driving the bus. They take you where you're going whether you're paying attention or not.  Your thoughts are the tour guide, the person upfront with the microphone and the clipboard—she can lean over and yank the wheel, slam on the brakes, step on the gas, flip the bus—she can do whatever, whenever she wants. She usually works in harmony with your beliefs, but she has all the veto power. Your words are the assistant to your thoughts and beliefs. Your words back them up, voice their opinions, anchor in the message, they keep it real. Your emotions are the fuel. They are ignited by your thoughts and can change your beliefs and the direction of your life. Without emotions, you're going nowhere new and exciting. Your actions build the road. They pave the path for your beliefs, but will reroute should thoughts and emotions make a change of plans and decide they want to stop at Dairy Queen or something. When all these facets of your mind, body, and spirit are in alignment, focused on the same desire, singing “Ninety-nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall” as they merrily roll along, you can manifest all the riches yo desire. But if you're thinking about how much you'd love to make an extra five thousand dollars a month and how you have no idea how to do it, if you're feeling terrified and extremely doubtful, believing that people won't take you seriously (yourself included), if you're saying out loud, “I love money and it comes to me easily” every morning in the mirror, and if you're making one sales call per day after which you give up and crack open a beer, you aren't gonna get very far.” In order for me to put the left thumb on top, it takes conscious thought. Your thoughts, words, and actions need to back up that want. This business is so damn challenging, you want to have as much working FOR YOU! That is going to get to you where you really want to go.

Utilizing Underrated Marketing Channels w/ Rand Fishkin   In Episode 115 of the Lion’s Share Marketing Podcast, Tyler and Jon discuss the unexpected resurgence of Sirius XM. Stay tuned to hear Tyler talk shop with Rand Fishkin, the CEO and founder of SparkToro, which streamlines user insights for marketers. Rand and Tyler discuss the dangers of Google’s new FLoC program, which addresses privacy problems but has little consumer benefit. The two consider the importance of Rand’s article that discusses the implications of Google searches that end with Google-authored results rather than independently created sites. Rand worries that this trend will lead to diminished content creation even though Google is making the user experience more efficient.   Tyler and Rand ultimately examine the importance of underrated marketing channels like podcasts and the power of influence marketing. Rand’s key takeaway is to identify what media your competitors aren't using, and then buy low, and sell high.

Copyright in a Nutshell for Artists & FilmmakersBrian L. FryeIntroductionHello! Welcome to this introduction to copyright for artists and filmmakers. I’m Brian L. Frye. I’m a professor of law at the University of Kentucky College of Law, where I teach copyright law, among other things. But I’m also an artist and a filmmaker. I earned an MFA in film from the San Francisco Art Institute, was included in the 2002 Whitney Biennial, and co-produced the documentary film Our Nixon, which premiered at SXSW and was broadcast on CNN. So, I understand copyright not only from the perspective of a lawyer, but also from the perspective of an artist and a filmmaker.The purpose of this lecture is to help you understand copyright law and how it affects artists and filmmakers. Hopefully, they will provide practical information that will be useful for practicing artists and filmmakers. Obviously, I can’t even begin to explain all of copyright law in an hour. But I will address the most important concepts and help you understand how they apply to art and movies.I’ll begin by asking why copyright exists in the first place. There are lots of ways to answer that question. For example, some people think the purpose of copyright is to help authors profit from their works. Other people think it’s to help authors control the use of their works. And still others think it’s to benefit the public, by encouraging authors to create works in the first place. Maybe all of those reasons are true. Often, they all point to the same answer. But sometimes they conflict with each other. And when they do, we have to ask which reason is the most important and why.Next, I’ll ask what copyright protects. The answer is, almost everything! Copyright protects the original elements of a work of authorship. But it is very forgiving. Essentially, an element of a work is original so long as it isn’t copied from another work.I’ll ask how you get a copyright, and what you should do once you have one. The answer is, it’s easy! As soon as you create a work, you own a copyright in all of its original elements. No need to do anything else. But you can and should register the work with the Copyright Office, if you think it might have commercial value, because you usually can’t enforce your copyright without registering it.I’ll ask how long a copyright lasts. The answer is, almost forever! Currently, the copyright term is usually the life of the longest-lived author of a work, plus an additional 70 years. The exception is that copyright in works created for an employer lasts 95 years from creation or 120 years from publication, whichever expires first. When the copyright term ends, a work falls into the public domain, which means that anyone can use it in any way they like, without asking permission.I’ll ask what copyright does. The answer is, it gives authors certain exclusive rights to use the works they create. Specifically, copyright gives authors the exclusive right to copy, sell, and show their works, as well as the exclusive right to create new works based on their works. Of course, authors can sell those rights to others. And there are also certain limits on their exclusive rights, including fair use.I’ll ask what counts as copyright infringement. The answer is, any use of a work that violates one of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner may be infringing, unless the owner gave permission. In other words, copying a work, selling copies of a work, and presenting a work to the public all may be copyright infringement. Likewise, using elements of a work to create a new work may also be copyright infringement, if the new work is sufficiently similar to the original.I’ll ask what happens to copyright infringers. The answer is, nothing good! The copyright owner can not only force them to stop infringing, but also force them to pay damages. Copyright owners who prove infringement are always entitled to actual damages, but many copyright owners are also entitled to statutory damages, which may be substantial, even if the cost of the infringement was trivial.And I’ll ask what fair use is and why it matters. The answer is that it’s the most important exception to copyright infringement, because it ensures that copyright permits free speech. Among other things, the First Amendment prevents the government from limiting speech, without a really good reason. Copyright necessarily limits speech, by preventing people from using works in certain ways without permission. Fair use says that copyright owners can’t stop people from criticizing or discussing their works.Obviously, there’s a lot more to copyright than these eight questions. But I think they will help you better understand what copyright is for, what it protects, what it prohibits, and what it permits. And maybe most importantly, I hope they encourage you to ask what copyright actually does, whether it is effective, and how we could improve it.What is Copyright?You may have heard people talk about “intellectual property,” a blanket term for ownership of expressions and ideas. Copyright is a kind of intellectual property that protects original works of authorship. Other kinds of intellectual property include patent, which protects novel inventions and discoveries, trademark, which protects distinctive marks used in commerce, and trade secret, which protects confidential commercial information. While we refer to all of these things as intellectual property, they don’t really have anything to do with each other, other than that they all protect “knowledge goods,” or valuable concepts.People often confuse the different kinds of intellectual property. That’s a problem, because they protect different things in different ways. For example, in order to get a patent, you have to describe your invention to the Patent Office and explain why it is new. If you get a patent, it can only protect the new thing you invented, and other people can use your invention to create other new things. In order to get a trademark, you have to use a symbol in a way that communicates information to consumers. For example, you could use the word “apple” to tell consumers who made a computer. Or you could use the word “amazon” to tell consumers who is selling a book. For what it’s worth, a commercial publisher uses the phrase “in a nutshell” to identify its legal study aids, but they did not publish this lecture or essay, and I have nothing to do with them. Are you confused?Anyway, copyright gives authors ownership of the works they create. Or rather, copyright says that no one can copy, sell, or show a protected work, without the 7author’s permission. Copyright has existed for a long time, more or less since the printing press made it possible to publish books. Copyright forced publishers to compete by selling different books, rather than by selling the same books for lower prices.The Constitution gave Congress the power to create copyright in the United States, and it did. In the United States, copyright is created almost entirely by federal law. While most other countries have also created copyright, different countries protect copyright in different ways. However, most countries have joined the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, which provides some common ground.People disagree about the purpose of copyright. In the United States, most people think the purpose of copyright is to encourage authors to create new works. If copyright didn’t exist, people wouldn’t have to pay for works of authorship, and it would be hard for authors to make a profit. Copyright means authors can force people to pay, which encourages them to create more works. This is an economic theory of copyright, because it says that the purpose of copyright is to benefit the public, by encouraging authors to produce works the public wants.But many people think the purpose of copyright is really to protect authors. Some people think that authors have a natural right to own and control the works they create. After all, a work doesn’t exist until an author creates it. Surely people ought to be able to control the things they create? Other people think authors ought to be able to control the use of the works they create, because they express the autonomy and personality of the author. Why shouldn’t people be able to control the use of their ideas and expressions? These are moral theories of copyright, because they say the purpose of copyright is to protect the rights of authors.Theories of copyright matter, because they shape what copyright protects and prohibits. We decide what copyright should do by asking what copyright is for. Often, economic and moral theories of copyright reach the same results. But sometimes they don’t. For example, the economic theory of copyright says people can use a work, so long as they pay for it. But the moral theories say authors can stop people from using their works, even if they are willing to pay. So, is copyright about compensation or control? As always, it depends. But how we answer that question shapes both copyright and the freedom of speech.What Does Copyright Protect?Copyright protects original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium. That’s a mouthful, but it doesn’t mean much. As a practical matter, copyright protects just about everything you create. Obviously, copyright protects books, songs, paintings, and movies. But that’s not all. Copyright protects a lot more besides. Every email, tweet, instagram, tiktok, snapchat, and text is also protected by copyright, so long as it’s arguably unique, even in the most trivial way.But I’ll be more specific. The Supreme Court held that a work of authorship is original and can be protected by copyright only if it was independently created by the author of the work and reflects some minimal degree of creativity. Independently created just means not copied. Even the most banal work is independently created, so long as it isn’t a copy of another work. After all, most emails aren’t copied, and every snapshot is by definition unique. Of course, copyright also requires creativity. While it’s unclear what creativity requires, it clearly doesn’t require much. The Supreme Court held that copyright couldn’t protect a white pages telephone directory, because it totally lacked creativity. But it implied that copyright could protect anything else.Some works of conceptual art might not be protected by copyright, if they are sufficiently abstract. But the overwhelming majority of works are obviously protected. As a rule of thumb, if your work consists of more than an abstract idea, it’s almost certainly protected by copyright.What’s more, copyright protects every original part of a work. So, if you create a work, you own the work as a whole, but you also own all of the original elements of the work. Obviously, copyright protects the sentences in a literary work and the images in a pictorial work, but it may also protect a particular way of expressing an idea in literary or pictorial form.But copyright can’t protect abstract ideas, only particular expressions of those ideas. In other words, as the elements of a work get more abstract, they get less copyright protection, until they get none at all. Or rather, copyright can protect a particular way of expressing an idea, but can’t protect the idea itself.An important thing to remember is that copyright only protects intangible works of authorship, not particular copies of those works. So, copyright protects the text of a novel, not particular books. But copyright also protects the intangible work of authorship expressed in a painting or sculpture, not the physical object itself.How Do You Get a Copyright?I bet you’ve heard people talk about copyrighting their work of authorship or telling you to copyright something you’ve created. They don’t know what they’re talking about. Copyright isn’t a verb. You can’t copyright anything, because copyright automatically protects works of authorship, as soon as they are created and recorded.The Copyright Act provides that copyright protects original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium. In other works, as soon as you create something and create a record of what you created, it’s protected by copyright, automatically. You wrote down a poem? It’s protected by copyright. You recorded a song? It’s protected by copyright. You made a video? It’s protected by copyright.Of course, you can also register your work with the Copyright Office. Registration doesn’t create copyright ownership. But it does give copyright owners certain valuable rights, including the right to sue for copyright infringement, and the right to demand statutory damages, as opposed to actual damages, which may often bee nominal.Copyright registration is easy and relatively inexpensive, and you can do it online. If you’ve created a work you think might have commercial value, it might make sense for you to register it. You might even be able to register several works at the same time. But you don’t need to register your works in order to own a copyright in them. And it probably doesn’t make sense to register them, unless you want to be able to stop people from using them without your permission.Anyway, whether or not a work is registered, the author can only own the original elements. Sometimes, they are quite valuable, but more often than not, they aren’t. More often than not, copyright is a way for people to accept that the dream is over, because no one is offering a better deal.Who Owns a Copyright?In theory, copyright ownership is simple. If you create a work of authorship, you own the copyright in the work you created. But in practice, it can get complicated. After all, some works are created by many different people, and many works are created for an employer.When people create a work together, everyone who participates is an author and a copyright owner, so long as they contribute an original element that copyright can protect and everyone agrees they are a co-author. So, if you have the idea for a work, but don’t actually participate in creating it, you aren’t an author or copyright owner, because copyright can’t protect ideas. And if you edit a work created by someone else, you aren’t an author or a copyright owner, unless the original author agrees.Co-authors own the copyright in a work jointly. In other words, all of the authors own the entire work collectively, and all of the authors can use the work in any way they like, so long as they don’t harm the value of the work, and share any profits with the other owners. Of course, the owners of a work can make more complicated agreements about how to use the work and share profits, as well.If a work is created by an employee for an employer, then it is a “work made for hire,” and the employer is the author for the purpose of copyright ownership. For some works, like movies, everyone can agree that the work is a work made for hire in a signed contract. But many works, like books and paintings, can be works made for hire only if the person who creates them is actually an employee, which usually means they have to be on payroll.Copyright is a property right, so it can be transferred, like any other property right. While the author of a work is the initial copyright owner, the author can transfer copyright ownership to someone else. Authors can even transfer copyright ownership before they even create a work. In addition, copyright owners can transfer as much or as little of their copyright as they want. If you own the copyright in a movie, you can sell it to someone else, or you can sell part of the copyright, like the right to show the movie in a particular place, in a particular way, for a particular period of time.When authors sell their copyright in a work, they may eventually be able to get it back. The Copyright Act allows authors to terminate the transfer of copyright after 25 years, by following certain procedures. However, the person who created a work can terminate its transfer only if they were the initial author and copyright owner. In other words, an employee can’t reclaim the copyright in a work made for hire, because they were never the author in the first place.How Long Does a Copyright Last?The length of copyright protection has gradually increased over time. Initially, copyright lasted 14 years, but could be renewed for another 14 years. Every once in a while, Congress made the copyright last longer, until it lasted 56 years. Then, in 1976, Congress revised the Copyright Act to make copyright last until all of the authors of a work died, plus an additional 50 years. And in 1998, Congress made copyright last an additional 20 years.Today, copyright usually lasts for the life of the author or authors of a work, plus an additional 70 years. However, because the author of a work made for hire is usually a company, copyright in those works lasts for 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever ends first.When the copyright in a work ends, it enters the public domain, which means no one owns it anymore, and anyone can use it in any way they like. Every year, on January 1, works published 95 years earlier enter the public domain. So, in 2020, works published in 1925 entered the public domain.In theory, copyright is supposed to ensure that works are available to the public, by giving copyright owners an economic incentive to publish them. But in reality, most of the works protected by copyright aren’t worth anything when they are created, and even those that are worth something quickly lose their value. As a result, many works are unavailable, because the copyright owner can’t be bothered to publish them. But copyright means that no one else can publish them either. Scholars have observed that public domain works are far more widely available than works protected by copyright, precisely because people can make them available without worrying about infringement.Many people think copyright lasts too long and protects too many things. They think more works should be in the public domain and people should be able to use copyrighted works more freely. Unfortunately, the law isn’t on their side. Congress assumes people want to own whatever they create, and tends to make copyright stronger and longer, rather than shorter and weaker. In fact, the Copyright Act doesn’t even provide a way for people to put works they own in the public domain.Accordingly, people who want less copyright protection created Creative Commons licenses, which enable copyright owners to give people permission to do things copyright prohibits. After all, if copyright owners can sell their rights, they can also give them away. The most popular Creative Commons license is the CC-BY license, which permits people to use a work in any way they like, so long as they credit it to the author. But there is also a CC0 version, which declares a work to be in the public domain.What Does Copyright Do?Copyright gives copyright owners the exclusive right to use the work they own in certain ways. That’s why we call it a property right. It creates the right to exclude people from using a work without permission. Broadly speaking, copyright gives copyright owners four exclusive rights: reproduction, distribution, presentation, and adaptation.The reproduction right is the essence of copyright. It says that copyright owners have the exclusive right to create copies of the works they own. In order to use a work, you need a copy of it. The reproduction right enables copyright owners to control access to a work by controlling the creation of copies. Of course, it is often observed in the breach. People often create copies of works, without even realizing they are infringers. After all, if you’ve ever created a mixtape for your friend, or written down the lyrics of your favorite song, you’ve infringed the reproduction right.The distribution right reflects the reality of copyright ownership. The primary purpose of copyright is to enable copyright owners to profit from the works they own. Accordingly, copyright owners care about commercial uses of their works, but don’t care about private uses. The distribution right gives copyright owners the exclusive right to distribute copies of their works to the public. Or to put it more bluntly, only copyright owners can sell copies of their works.The most important limitation on the distribution right is the first sale doctrine, which says that copyright owners can only control the distribution of a particular copy of their work the first time it is sold. The first sale doctrine is why we have used bookstores and record stores. Only the copyright owner can create and sell copies of a book or record. But once they sell a copy, it’s just a thing, and the owner can sell it like any other thing.The transition from physical to digital media is a problem for copyright, because it’s unclear how to distinguish between a work and copies of a work. It used to be that copyright protected a story or a song, but not a particular book or record. But what is the difference between a story and text file, or a song and an audio file? What does it mean to own a digital file, if anything?The internet is also a problem for copyright because it makes reproducing and distributing works essentially free. Back in the day, it was expensive to make copies of a work and make them available. Now, it’s effortless and free. Suddenly, copyright ownership is pure profit, with little or no risk, once a work proves popular. But how much should copyright owners be able to charge, as their costs evaporate? Copyright was designed for a world in which reproduction and distribution were costly. Does it make any sense in a world where they are free?The presentation right gives copyright owners the exclusive right to publicly display or perform the works they own. It used to be that public display and performance was how copyright owners made money. For example, when people went to movie theaters, the public performance right enabled movie producers to profit from every screening. Today, the public display and performance rights are important primarily because they supplement the distribution right.The adaptation right gives copyright owners the exclusive right to create derivative works, or new works based on a work they own. Typically, that means translating a work into a different language, transforming it into a different medium, or creating a sequel. But the adaptation right is much broader. It gives copyright owners the exclusive right to use any original element of the work they own, which means every sentence of a book, riff in a song, or sequence in a movie might be protected by copyright.Almost everything we create is a derivative work, even though we don’t realize it. The Copyright Acts says that a derivative work is a work that incorporates an original element of a previously existing work. Well, most works owe at least something to an existing work. And quoting or paraphrasing an existing work is a great way to make your work a derivative work, at least from a copyright perspective. We tell ourselves that works are original, but in reality almost all of them are based on something else. And we like it that way. People tend to like familiar things, and dislike weird ones. Most people don’t like creativity all that much. A little bit is fine, but don’t overdo it.Anyway, while most people think copyright protects works as a whole, it actually protects every element of a work, no matter how small, as long it qualifies for copyright protection. Of course, copyright protects almost everything, so almost every element of a work is protected by copyright, whether or not the author even realizes it. For better or worse, any element of a work that makes people think about the work is probably protected by copyright, and lots more besides!Copyright also gives artists special protections. In 1990, Congress passed the Visual Artists Rights Act, which gave artists the rights of attribution and integrity, in order to bring United States copyright law in line with the Berne Convention. The attribution right enables artists to prevent plagiarism and the right of integrity enables artists to prevent the destruction of their works. But VARA doesn’t really do all that much. It only applies to unique works, only protects important works, and can be waived by the artist. When a work is valuable, the owner usually wants to attribute and protect it. The only time VARA really matters is when the owner of a work wants to get rid of it. Many recent VARA disputes involve graffiti. When a property owner wants to demolish a decorated building, in order to create a new one, who’s in the right? It all depends on how you think about copyright ownership.What Is Copyright Infringement?Copyright is a property right. The primary purpose of copyright is to prevent people from using a work without permission. And any commercial use of a work might be infringing. But of course, it depends. In order to prove copyright infringement, a copyright owner has to show the defendant actually copied a protected element of the work, and that the works are similar, because of the copied element.Actual copying matters, because most works are similar to each other. Or rather, copyright only protects the original elements of a work, but most works aren’t all that original, and people have a disconcerting tendency to arrive at the same ideas at the same time. Sometimes, works are similar because of copying. But often, it’s just a coincidence. It’s not unusual for people to have similar ideas at the same time.But copyright infringement also requires substantial similarity. In other words, a new work infringes a previously existing work only if it actually copies elements of the previously existing work, and is substantially similar to that work, because of what it copied.Different courts have different ideas about how to identify substantial similarity. Some courts identify the protected elements that the allegedly infringing work copied, and ask whether copying those elements constitutes infringement. Other courts just compare the two works, and ask whether they are similar. Obviously, how you ask the question affects the outcome. On one level, more copyright protection is good for artists and filmmakers, because it enables them to exercise more control over their works, and claim more profits. But on another level, its bad, because copyright makes it harder for artists and filmmakers to use existing works in order to create new works.More often than not, artists and filmmakers want to have it both ways. They want to be able to use existing works when it’s convenient. But they also want to control the use of the works they create. How should we square the circle? Should we let authors control how people use their works, or should we let people use works however they like?You’ve probably heard about plagiarism. It’s similar to copyright infringement, but different. Copyright gives authors certain rights to control how their works are used, in order to enable them to make a profit from selling their works. Plagiarism norms allow people to copy and use works without permission. They only require attribution. But if you copy a work without attribution, the plagiarism police will make you sorry.Notably, plagiarism norms protect works and elements of works that copyright can’t protect. Copyright can’t protect ideas, but plagiarism norms do. Copyright says you can copy ideas willy-nilly. But the plagiarism police will punish you if you copy ideas without attributing them to their “owner.” Similarly, copyright says you can use public domain works in any way you like, but the plagiarism police disagree. For example, copyright says that I can publish The Importance of Being Earnest by Brian L. Frye. After all, it’s a public domain work, and I can use it in any way I like. But plagiarism norms say I can’t, and the plagiarism police would punish me if I tried.What Happens to Copyright Infringers?Copyright enables copyright owners to profit from their works. But it also lets them force other people to shut up. When a copyright owner notices that someone is using their work without permission, they can tell them to stop. If the work is registered with the Copyright Office, they can also file an infringement action. Even if you prove infringement, it can be hard to prove damages. But the Copyright Act enables copyright owners who register their works to claim statutory damages, which can be substantial, even if there is no evidence of actual harm. In fact, statutory damages can be as much as $150,000 per infringement, although courts usually award less. Still, the risk of damages can encourage defendants to settle, even if the infringement claim is weak.Copyright owners can also seek an injunction, to prevent an infringer from using their work. The problem is that injunctions can infringe free speech. After all, copyright owners are usually happy for people to use their works. If they want people to stop, it’s usually because they want to control what people have to say. But sometimes, people use copyright because they don’t have any other choice. For example, some people have used copyright to suppress images and videos of themselves. It’s understandable that people would use any tool available to protect themselves. But should they have to rely on copyright? After all, it applies to some offensive works, but not others. Or should we find another way to suppress offensive works?But the internet has its own rules. Many people think the internet is a copyright-free zone. Wrong! But it can be hard to enforce copyright on the internet, not only because so many internet users are anonymous, but also because the internet is just too vast to monitor.Anyway, most copyright owners want to stop popular platforms like YouTube and the Internet Archive from providing infringing content. Not to mention illicit pirate sites. In 1998, Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or DMCA. Among other things, section 512 of the DMCA gave websites a safe harbor to protect them from copyright infringement liability for third-party content. Under the DMCA, if a copyright owner tells a website that someone has uploaded an infringing file, the website is immune from liability if it takes down the content. If the person who uploaded the content objects to the takedown, the copyright owner has to file an infringement action. If they don’t the website can restore the file.What is Fair Use?Copyright prevents people from using works without permission. But copyright has many exceptions. The most important exception is fair use, which provides that people can use works without permission, if they have a good reason. Essentially, copyright says that copyright owners have an exclusive right to use the works they own in order to make money. But fair use says that everyone else has a right to use those works in order to talk about them, so long as they aren’t competing with the copyright owner.In other words, copyright says that the copyright owner of a book has the exclusive right to reproduce and sell copies of the book. But the fair use doctrine says that other people have the right to copy parts of the book in order to criticize it, or comment on its reception. Fair use ensures that copyright owners can’t abuse copyright, by preventing them from asserting copyright claims against infringers who are engaging in protected speech.The fair use doctrine has existed for a long time. In fact, a version of the fair use doctrine is probably as old as copyright itself. After all, when publishers invented copyright in the 17th century, it reflected industry norms and expectations, same as always. When copyright became a property right, rather than a cartel norm, courts recognized certain exceptions, which came to be known as fair use. And when the United States created copyright law, courts read fair use into the statute.Eventually, Congress codified the fair use doctrine in the Copyright Act of 1976. At least in theory, the codification wasn’t supposed to change the law. Among other things, it identified four factors that courts should consider when determining whether an unlicensed use of a copyrighted work is a protected fair use:Whether the use transforms the original work;Whether the original work is factual or fictional;How much of the original work is used; andWhether the new work is a substitute for the original work.Typically, the first factor is the most important. Courts tend to ask whether the use of a work is transformative. If they answer yes, it’s almost always a fair use. The problem is that no one knows what “transformative” means. Sometimes, a use is transformative if consumers can tell the difference between the original work and the new work. But sometimes it isn’t. After all, a court held that Blurred Lines infringed Got to Give It Up, even though no one could possibly confuse the two songs. Sure, they are similar, but they aren’t the same. Transformativeness says changing a work avoids copyright infringement, but it doesn’t tell us how much change is necessary.At the end of the day, courts don’t actually rely on the fair use factors, any more than they rely on any other doctrinal test. In reality, they ask themselves whether a use is infringing, and use the test to explain their decision. So, a use is transformative if the judge thinks it should be protected, and not transformative if the judge thinks it should be infringing.The Supreme Court has explicitly recognized that copyright owners can’t prevent people from making fun of their works. But it hasn’t done a great job of explaining the scope of the fair use doctrine. Many people think fair use protects parody, and little more. They’re wrong. Fair use can protect any critical use of a work that isn’t a substitute for the work it criticizes.Many people are critical of fair use. Some of them think it goes too far. After all, why should people be able to use a copyrighted work without permission, or even paying a licensing fee? But others think it doesn’t go far enough. The copyleft advocate Lawrence Lessig famously referred to fair use as “the right to hire a lawyer,” because it can be hard to know whether you are protected, and expensive to defend yourself, if a copyright owner disagrees.But copyright maximalists and copyright skeptics both go too far. Yes, there’s a lot of copyright infringement, and it can be hard for copyright owners to stop it. But works are made to be used. And users have rights too, whether or not authors like it. For example, fans can and should be able to use the works they love to create new works, especially when they do it for free. Sure, some authors don’t like it. But when you create a popular work, public commentary comes with the territory.As for copyright skeptics, they’re right that fair use can be dangerous ground. But at the same time, we do fair use all the time, without even thinking about it. After all, quoting an article is technically infringing, but fair use. And yet, we don’t think of it that way. Rather, we just think of it as non-infringing. The purpose of fair use is to force us to have a conversation about the kinds of uses we want copyright owners to be able to control, and the kinds of uses we want to protect.And things have begun to change, especially for filmmakers. Thanks to the efforts of copyright lawyers like Michael Donaldson, filmmakers who claim fair use can insure themselves against the risk of copyright litigation. If you can insure yourself against a risk, you can safely ignore it. As a consequence, filmmakers take full advantage of the fair use doctrine.Artists have always ignored copyright, using whatever they like to create their works. As Picasso famously observed, good artists copy, but great artists steal. Actually, he probably lifted the quip from someone else. The point is that artists usually don’t care about copyright, because they typically create and sell unique objects, not copies. But some artists have been hit with copyright infringement actions anyway. Andy Warhol copied the image he used for his popular Flowers paintings, and ultimately paid a licensing fee. More recently, Jeff Koons and Richard Prince have been sued for copyright infringement, with mixed results. Maybe artists need a way to insure themselves against copyright infringement actions, too?At the end of the day, the purpose of the fair use doctrine is to ensure that people can use copyrighted works in productive ways. Does it always accomplish that goal? No. But at the very least, fair use encourages people to think about what copyright is supposed to do, and what it is supposed to accomplish.

Pros and Cons of Flying Under a Certificate of Authorization Today’s show is about COA vs. Part 107. Is flying under a Certificate of Authorization the most practical option for fire-fighters and law enforcement officers? What is a UAS COA? First things first. What exactly is a UAS COA? The FAA defines a COA or a Certificate of Authorization as a document issued by the Air Traffic Organization to a public operator for a specific UA activity. How Do You Get a COA? You can apply for a COA on the UAS COA Online System. Federal employees can log in to the system using their federal email address. Whereas, external users will have to go through an extra hoop by getting their identity validated here. External users will have to share their phone number and SSN to get their identity validated. You can check out a sample COA application here. COA vs. Part 107 – What are the Biggest Disadvantages of Flying Under a COA? There is a common misconception within the drone industry that a Certificate of Authorization (COA), and not a Part 107 certificate is the best option for public safety agencies. However, in today’s show, you will learn why this is not true. Specifically, these are the main DISADVANTAGES of flying under a COA: Liability exposureRestrictions on leasing equipmentAdditional Documentation RequirementsYou CANNOT train pilots So, let’s take it from the top: Liability Exposure Using a COA, while you may get the necessary permission to fly almost instantaneously, you also risk exposing yourself to additional liabilities. How so? Well, if you read the fine print, most drone insurance policies state that in order to claim damages, a drone pilot must be flying in accordance with “FAA guidelines”. Now, when you are flying under a Certificate of Authorization, you are operating under your guidelines. So, you have a very high chance of running into this legal hurdle if you have to invoke your insurance. Additionally, when you are operating under a federal COA, all your flight logs and documents can be audited if any citizen of the United States requests this information by filing an FOIA request (Freedom of Information Act). Restrictions on Owning Equipment 49 USC §40102(a)(41) states that “An aircraft exclusively leased for at least 90 continuous days by the government of a State, the District of Columbia, or a territory or possession of the United States or a political subdivision of one of these governments, except as provided in section 40125(b)”. So, when you are flying under a COA, as per the rules, you cannot go for longer than 90 days without owning equipment. So, let’s presume that you are leasing a drone and your drone gets damaged. If you do not get your drone back within 90 days, you are violating the law and possibly exposing yourself to liabilities. Additional Documentation Requirements Lastly, flying under a Certificate of Authorization means that you will have to put in additional up-front work. This includes: Self-certify airworthiness Self-certify the pilotLetter from Attorney GeneralDetailed concept of operations You CANNOT Train Pilots when Flying Under a Certificate of Authorization (COA) Moreover, as per the rules, while you can self-certify drone pilots, training them is not permissible! Is Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual the Best Drone for Public Safety? What About the Yet-To-Be-Released Autel Evo 2 Dual? We wrap up this show by discussing some of the best drones for public safety.

A longer text version is hosted at AIER.org, along with many other articles. How Do You Get to Carnegie Hall? By Art Carden The phone rang. It was someone from TV news channel CGTN asking me to be on their show The Link the next day to talk about the new Costco in Shanghai. I agreed, they booked me a spot at a studio downtown, and we confirmed everything via email.

How is my foot health? Today I went into the dermatologist because it felt like someone was shoving a needle into my heel each time I took a step. After checking for a splinter and finding nothing, I assumed it was a planter's wart. Wrong. What I have is a corn. Yes, an annoyingly painful callus type pit or core that my body produced to protect itself. You see, that's how corns and calluses are made. Your body is trying to protect your sensitive tissue/skin when friction or rubbing occurs. What is a Corn? This corn has had skin removed to help with the pain. Corns generally occur at pressure points, typically the bottom of the feet and the sides of toes. They can be painful. A hard corn is a small patch of thickened, dead skin with a central core. A soft corn has a much thinner surface and usually occurs between the 4th and 5th toes. A seed corn is a tiny, discrete callous that can be very tender if it's on a weight-bearing part of the foot. Seed corns tend to occur on the bottom of the feet. WebMD What are Calluses? Callus and non-callused feet. Calluses are not painful but build a thick layer on the outermost layer or part of your skin. Unlike corns, calluses can develop when there is repeated friction, on the hands, feet, or other places on the body. Now there are different types of calluses. The first type, which is the most common, is where there is repetition, rubbing, or friction. The second is called a plantar callus found on the bottom of your feet. How Do You Get a Corn or Callus? From friction caused by ill-fitting shoes or by walking improperly. High-hilled shoes are the worst.By wearing sandals or other footwear without socks, causing your foot to slip around. RunningBeing on your feet for long periods.Plugged sweat ducks. RubbingPressure Remember how I thought mine might be a sliver or wart? Well, that's something you need to check out too. Warts have little black seed-like heads and keep your fingerprint, so to speak. Slivers or splinters when pushed, can release pus and push out the object under your skin. Be careful, anytime you deal with feet, and where moisture builds bacteria, that you clean and keep dry any open skin or corn. Again, keep the area clean anytime there is a cut or open wound of any kind in any situation as a staph infection could start. What Do Corns and Calluses Look Like? "A callus is a patch of thick, dead skin anywhere on the body which is subject to friction. There are different common names given to the various type of calluses.A hard corn is a compact patch of hard skin with a dense core, located on top of a toe or the outside of the little toe.A soft corn is a reddened, tender area of skin, has a thin, smooth center, and is found between toes.A seed corn is a plug-like circle of dead skin, often painful, on the heel or ball of the foot.A plantar callus is a callus on the bottom or plantar surface of the foot." -WebMD Treatments You will notice a pattern in the remedies below. All will either remove dead skin or moisten your skin. Keeping your skin soft and subtle will help prevent and treat corns and calluses. Lemon Juice The citric acid in lemon juice softens the hard-upper layer of the corns and calluses. Using a cue tip, soak the end and apply the lemon juice morning and evening. Baking Soda "Baking soda is a natural exfoliating agent that scrubs and removes the hard-layer of dead skin cells that cover the corn and also promotes the process of healing. The potent antibacterial and antifungal properties of baking soda also prevent skin infections." -thefitindian.com Warm Water Treatment Use a 20-min warm water treatment to soak and soften the outer hardened layers of dead skin. To remove the skin, rub it after soaking and after you towel dry with your fingers, a pummel stone or razor. When using a razor, however, be extremely careful not to cut too deep. The point isn't to bleed,

‘How Do You Get the Figs into the Fig Rolls?' This has been a famous and iconic ad run by Jacobs biscuit years ago but Gavan, the speed mentor, is still fascinated with this. How so? In this episode of the Speed Mentor Podcast, Gavan reflects on how figs can be likened to healthy relationships we have, or we can have. He also shares The Parable of the Fig Tree to support his statement; just like the fig tree, every human connection requires concern, care and affection. Let's admit it, we have, maybe once in our lives, have taken granted a relationship we have – may it be with your loved ones or with people at work. It's time to put in some effort and let the fig tree (your relationships) grow, so you'll have something to harvest! KEY TAKEAWAYS The Parable of the Fig Tree tells the story of the vineyard owner who has been disappointed with his tree because it has not been bearing any fruits for three years. He asked the gardener to cut it down, but the gardener refused and swayed the owner instead that he be given a year to nurture it. If the tree still hasn't borne fruit by then, then the owner could do as he pleases. Just like the fig tree, every relationship should be taken care of. Don't expect relationships to flourish if you don't do anything. Start communicating and add value to others. We should take responsibility if we see that our relationships are deteriorating. Are we too distant? Do we drag them to their misery? BEST MOMENTS “Stephen Covey said, ‘When you show deep empathy toward others, their defensive energy goes down, and positive energy replaces it.'” “We expect so much of others, of our relationships with others, of there being there for us, of the relationship to flourish, but so few of us are spending the time to fertilize the fig tree that represents the people in our lives, and the figs are the fruits of our relationships with them.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Luke 13:6-9 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.

Podcast Show Notes: Traveling to Antarctica Meet Chelsea Turner from the New Wifestyle blog and listen to the above podcast episode on traveling to Antarctica. Chelsea and her husband decided to go to Antarctica together a few years ago and this experience changed her life for the better. How Do You Get to Antarctica? You can fly to Antarctica, but it’s going to cost you a pretty penny, possibly adding 10k to your trip. Most take cruises through Drake Passage, which has some of the roughest seas in the world. It’s a 2 day (38 hour) boat trip from the most southern part of Argentina, Ushuaia, which is where many Antarctica trips start. You can also take a boat from New Zealand. How is the Cruise to Antarctica? The boat that Chelsea took was smaller than most, it held around 80 people, which is nice if you ask me. They weren't on a cruise like an Alaskan Cruise, they were on a true adventure expedition! They went with Antarpply Expeditions. The first two days traveling to Antarctica had rough seas, but it was nice and calm when they made it to Antarctica. It’s a good idea to take the drowsy Dramamine and spend those 2 days sleeping on the boat until you arrive in Antarctica.  She and her husband had her own room, but they went with a cheaper room and had bunk beds and a shared bathroom with another room. The people you are on the boat with are the same people you will see the entire trip, and they made life-long friends on the boat. The entire expedition was 10 nights and 11 days, but 4 of those days were travel days. What Does Antarctica Look Like? It's stark white with majestic sharp-peaked mountains, icebergs, untouched snow, and it feels like you are on another planet. It’s so isolating and makes you feel apart of a huge world and gives you a new perception of how vast it is. It’s a beautiful blank slate and it feels like a different planet. Chelsea didn’t see a town. There are 10,000 people that live in Antarctica in the summer (November-March), but in the Winter, there are only 1,000 people that live there during the darkest of the days in the Winter. There are research bases in Antarctica, but the tourist boat didn’t go to a research base. What Can You Do in Antarctica You are constantly going on and off the boat. Get a ‘cruise’ out of your head, this is an exploration. You are exploring day in and day out. Zodiac boats would take you to little islands and they even took them to an active volcano. They saw penguins, humpback whales, orcas, and got to see many icebergs. Why Travel to Antarctica? You can go to a place where not many people get to, plus you can see a goal come to fruition in saving for a big trip. Go to Antarctica if you love adventure and meet like-minded people. Go there if you want to have an experience that you’ve never experienced before. Plus, you'll make lifelong friends, and who doesn't love those? How Much Does Traveling to Antarctica Cost? Including flights to Argentina and the boat and expedition to Antarctica, it was about 10,000 per person. This was for a budget room, a bunk bed with a shared bathroom, and they planned this 10 months in advance. If you are flexible, you could find a cheaper last-minute deal. If you skip the 38-hour boat ride, you can fly to Antarctica and then join up with a fancy cruise, but you will be paying a pretty price tag for it, at least 20,000 per person. You can check out current rates with Antarpply Expeditions here. When Can You Tavel to Antarctica? November-March are you only months that you can travel there, or you might get stuck in Antarctica. Antarctica Packing Checklist • Smart Wool Socks • Good Winter Coat • Warm Hat • Warm Gloves • Hiking Boots • Snow Pants • Thermal Pants • Fleece • Face Mask • Under Layers • Passport *Don’t bring hand warmers, they won’t work Top Tips for Traveling to Antarctica: • Be open new experiences, new people • Embrace the fact that you are in Antarctica

During this week's show we look at the teams likely to be in contention (and in the Steeler's windshield) at the end of the season. What about the chances in our own division?  Can we go 6-0 again, or the Bengals poised to make a run at it?  Certainly it will be interested to see if the Browns can capitalize on a ridiculous number of high draft picks.   How Do You Get a Franchise QB? The predominant coverage over the course of this season's draft was focused on QBs, five of whom were chosen in the first round.  Do you need to take a dive (a la the Cleveland Browns) to win a coveted early pick?   Do you take the best athlete available? We explore some of the strategies that have been used by various teams and the results that ensued.   Please drop us a note:  Hit us up on Twitter at @Steelersoutpost  Leave us a note at the website - www.Steelersoutpost.com Shoot us an email at Steelersoutpost@gmail.com

What Is Intuition and How Do You Get in Touch With It? As described by Angela in her book, intuition is the inner voice that helps direct you towards your purpose. By listening to it and following it, you can begin to create a life that is in line with your passion and purpose. Your life flows. You are seemingly in the right place at the right time and opportunities appear to drop into your lap. You cannot be swayed by others. Listening to your intuition allows you to become the leader of your life and connect with your mission and true purpose. Intuition is an innate intelligence that we are all born with, but because our rational society discounts it in favor of reason we are taught to not listen to it; to not trust what it is telling us. As we grow into adults our intuition becomes dimmer and dimmer to the point where most of us are not in touch with it at all. In addition to the rational mind blocking your intuition, fear of being wrong, over analyzing and trying too hard are sure-fire ways to keep your intuition at bay. The good news is you are able to reawaken the connection to your intuition. In her book, The Intuition Principle, Angela points out that one of the hardest parts about getting started reawakening the connection to your intuition is that you don’t recognize its presence. It is not a booming loud voice or a physical force pulling you in one direction or another. It is quiet and subtle. Some people experience intuition as a feeling, others a gut reaction, others will see images or have a dream, others hear an actual voice. As you go through the process of reawakening your connection to your intuition, become familiar with how it communicates with you. One of the best ways to reconnect with your intuition is to meditate. When your mind is calm and quiet it is easier for you to experience your intuition. According to Angela, the benefits of meditation can be gained from only practicing 15-20 minutes a day and she outlines in her book very practical, down-to-earth meditation techniques that anyone can follow. Developing your connection to your intuition is similar to developing any skill. It might seem cumbersome at first, but with practice the intuition within you will more easily come to the surface and your life will begin to flow in a way that is in line with your authentic purpose.
