Welcome to another episode of Queernundrum! Today, we dive into a crucial and often overlooked topic—the experiences of LGBTQAI+ seniors. Our elders bear the resilience of having navigated discrimination, societal prejudices, and the challenges of developing their identities in less accepting times.Before we explore the unique journey of LGBTQAI+ seniors, let's take a moment to acknowledge the present. As of today, 84 anti-LGBTQAI+ laws have been passed across the country, while 227 were thankfully shut down. However, 187 laws are advancing, attacking various fronts like accurate IDs, civil rights, free speech, healthcare, public accommodations, and schools. (see ACLU to learn more).A Glimpse into the Past:Reflecting on the 1940s, homosexuality was largely criminalized, and individuals faced legal persecution. Living in the closet was a necessity, affecting their sense of community. Homosexuality was considered a mental illness, leading to harmful practices like conversion therapy. Discrimination in healthcare was rampant, and legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity were nonexistent.Progress:Fast forward to today, and there has been a significant shift in societal attitudes. LGBTQAI+ individuals experience greater social acceptance, a sense of community, and there's growing acknowledgment of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations. Legal milestones, like the marriage equality act and the 14th Amendment, mark substantial progress.Reflection:Our elder LGBTQAI+ individuals came of age during times of extreme prejudice, while younger generations often experience more supportive environments during their formative years. Elders may have spent a significant part of their lives in the closet due to societal pressures, while younger individuals often grow up in a more visible and accepting LGBTQAI+ culture. Elder LGBTQAI+ individuals might have faced rejection from biological families, leading to the importance of chosen families. Younger generations often experience more openness within their families. We recognize this is not always the case., discrimination still exist.Our call to action is clear: lets work together to create a future where our LGBTQAI+ seniors can age gracefully, surrounded by environments that honor their resilience, acknowledge their unique journeys, and celebrate the wealth of wisdom they bring to our community.We celebrate the resilience of our LGBTQAI+ seniors, acknowledging the wisdom they bring to our community. As we advocate for inclusive policies and cultural competence in healthcare, we commit to ensuring that the journey of aging is marked by pride, acceptance, and a continued sense of belonging.Donate:/Learn More at SAGE.

  Aravind Vogante, the Vice President of IDS, joins the conversation and talks about how AI, big data, and blockchain are changing the IT landscape. They discuss the potential of blockchain to validate and verify information in a world filled with false information. Aravind explains how blockchain can address governance issues in AI systems by allowing multiple stakeholders to participate in decision-making processes. He also discusses how blockchain can be used for student credit investigation management to prevent fraud and streamline background verification processes. Additionally, they talk about using blockchain for digital education resource service supply mode to create a marketplace where organizations can easily provide educational content to academic institutions. They mention collaborative development modes of public service platforms as another use case for blockchain technology in higher education.Polyversity is building an educational metaverse called Polyverse City, where universities can build their campuses. They are expecting at least 40+ universities and 100,000+ students to collaborate in this virtual space. To ensure credibility and trust, they are implementing a decentralized identity layer for verification before collaboration. The use of blockchain technology can accelerate collaborations and business processes. This academic paper provides real-life examples to support these concepts. Please use my social links below if you would like to know more about Web 3.0 projects or would like to connect with me.LinkedInanju@ultimateaccess.net

I am your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show. That's a completely BS free, unscripted and unrehearsed organic conversation about serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world. We've got a couple elite sellers on with us from opposite sides of the coast here, if I'm not mistaken or I'm not. Let's find out. Actually, where are you guys actually from? Let's start with Christine. Where are you at right now? Where are you calling in from? Christine: I'm in San Diego California. Bradley Sutton: You're in San Diego, so forget it. You're local to me. I don't know why I thought you were on the east coast for some reason. Where in San Diego are you at? Christine: Carmel Mountain, Carmel Valley area. Bradley Sutton: Okay, about like 30 minutes away from me. You know towards what is it? Towards the stadium down there, right? No, not like about 10, 15 minutes, okay, cool, wow, you're almost my neighbor and Sasha, about the distance south of me, you're north, you're up in like Orange County, California, right? Sasha: Yeah, I'm within like half an hour of any local workshop you guys put on. Bradley Sutton: I love it. I love it. Now here's a funny story about Sasha, like one time our you know, one of our executives, Bojan, he in our private Slack channel he posted a picture and he's like sell and scale summit t-shirt spotted in the wild or something like that, and he had snapped the picture of somebody that he saw in the checkout line in his grocery store up in I don't know somewhere in the OC and I was like wait a minute, that looks amazing. I was like yes, it's Sasha right there. So you're famous inside of Helium 10. There for wearing a Helium 10. Swag out in the wild, love it. Sasha: From now on, every time I go to Costco, I put that on. All right, you never know when a Helium 10 employee might capture you, awesome, awesome. Bradley Sutton: Now, Christine, let's go to your origin story. Is San Diego where you were born and raised, or are you a transplant, or what? Christine: I was actually born and raised in Los Angeles. My parents were transplants. However. They came from Switzerland on the Queen Mary for their honeymoon, and so they landed in Los Angeles, and that's where I grew up. Bradley Sutton: The Queen Mary. That's now like in Long Beach, that one that you can actually. Christine: Wow, nice, that one 1955, that came over. Bradley Sutton: Awesome, awesome, Sasha. What about you? Sasha: I'm originally from Odessa, Ukraine, and so I speak Russian, and I wound up doing a lot of business with Russia, and that's what actually led up to Amazon eventually. Bradley Sutton: Okay now, how long have you been here in the States? Sasha: I grew up here. I grew up in New York in 1980s. Bradley Sutton: Okay, so you must have moved here when you were one or two years old, all right. So growing up in New York, you had emigrated over here. What was your aspirations? Were you just wanting to be a fireman or an astronaut, or what did you think you'd be when you grew up? Quote unquote. Sasha: I had very little choice. My dad was an engineer and my mom was an actress, and all my life isolated between the two. So jump back and forth. Bradley Sutton: What did you end up going to college for then. Sasha: I ended up going. I got my bachelor's in computer science initially, and then, when my business was doing well enough, I went into a theater program. Bradley Sutton: So you still made both of them happy after my goodness, the model son here, Love it. What about you, Christine? What did you think you'd be when you grew up? Christine: I always wanted to be an interior designer and actually that's what my degree is in. So I was an interior design when I lived in LA, in Hollywood, for a big firm and often did a lot of the studio sets with the studio designers and maybe did something for Sasha's mom or there, you never know. Actually Johnny Cochran's office, I did. Bradley Sutton: Oh, okay, all right, wow all right. So now you know what. How many years were you in that field, Christine? Christine: 10 years. Bradley Sutton: 10 years and then after that? Christine: Then I went into nurse recruiting. Bradley Sutton: Nurse recruiting. Christine: Well, yes, recruiting nurses for travel assignments. So a travel nurse assignments across the US in every hospital there's probably 20-30% of travel nurses, so that they can adjust their fluctuations in census, and so they bring in travel nurses when it's high census and reduce the travel nurse population when it's lower census. Bradley Sutton: I'm half Filipino. Is it true that, like 30% of nurses, are Filipinos? Christine: They do bring a lot of Filipinos over, yes. Bradley Sutton: Okay, all right, so you're moving Filipino nurses around all the country, and others as well, and then how long do you do that? Christine: Ten years, at least ten years. Bradley Sutton: Oh, so you stick with stuff. You start. I like that. All right, so well. There's 20 years of work, so you must have started working when you were three, four years old, yourself there, okay, and then after that, did you find e-commerce or what's next in your life? Christine: Yes, and I found e-commerce, so it brought together everything I've learned and I just wanted to be able to do something that I could do from anywhere in the world. Since my family is from Switzerland, as you know, since my parents immigrated, I like to go there frequently and I wanted to be able to do a business I could do from there, if I needed to be there for two, three months, or from anywhere in the world, and I found this. Bradley Sutton: So did you just like Google at the time? Do you remember like where you know things I can do on the road, or something like that? Do you remember what you searched for? Christine: No, no, I um. I always like to buy things on Amazon, and I knew that it was growing, that people would be buying online more frequently, and so I started searching how to do that, and I did several webinars and classes and seminars In fact, I did probably six months of education before I even jumped into selling to make sure it was something that I could do, that I had the skills for, that I had the money for and that I would be able to grow with. See, like in nursing nurses, they can grow, they keep growing in their careers, they do all kinds of different things, they advance, and I wanted something that I could also grow with, so I could become a bigger seller, I could expand selling to different regions, different countries, and so I found this fit the bill. Bradley Sutton: Awesome. What about you, Sasha? How does somebody who studies theater and engineering end up in e-commerce? Sasha: I went to Russia with a suitcase full of computer parts. That's how I started in business, and from then, on, I think one dollar Sounds very shady. Bradley Sutton: Well, I don't know how. Sasha: Listen, I mean nothing with. Russia is a white hat, let's put it this way. So yeah, and so that led eventually to doing a lot of exporting to Russia. I did everything from computer parts to software to eventually slot machines even, and mining equipment, so that kind of led naturally to. Bradley Sutton: Did you say slot machines and mining equipment? Amazingly, yes, never in the history of vocabulary has that, I don't think, been used in the same Both of those things? That's interesting. So you're basically exporting whatever and whatever they wanted there. Huh Okay. Sasha: So it really does depend on relationships there as well, just like here in the States, and so wherever you can find a competitive advantage, that's a good place to go, and so eventually, when that died down as a market and now essentially it's almost entirely out of reach, you look for other opportunities, and by that point I've already had a number of other businesses that I was involved with, and so I started Amazon on a dare with a friend of mine who really did not believe that we could do any sales on Amazon when his website was doing so well. Sasha: So I bet him that we could beat his website sales with Amazon sales, and that's how it was what year are we? Talking about this was just not too long ago, I think it was 2018,. Bradley Sutton: I think it was Okay so that's about five years ago. All right, and then, and did you make that bet without even knowing a lot about Amazon? Or at that point, had you done some studying and research into it, or something? Sasha: I knew very little about Amazon. I did not have any experience selling on Amazon or listing on Amazon, but just simply understanding the marketing and the size of the market and the demand there. It just seemed it was a bet I couldn't lose. Bradley Sutton: So yeah, okay, I took it, Christine. What about you? What year approximately was it that you made this leap into e-commerce? Christine: Well, I launched my first product at the end of 2019. Bradley Sutton: Okay, Around the same time and are you still selling that exact product today? Christine: No Can you tell us what it is, then well, there's still kitchen products, but Well, I am still selling the remainder of that particular Also, somebody is still active. Bradley Sutton: That's pretty impressive for your very Not many people are still selling, like four years later, their very first product. Usually, it's like they just get their feet wet and they're like, oh nope, this was the wrong choice, but that's pretty impressive. You still have some inventory left and still going on that yes. Now how did you learn to how to sell on Amazon? Christine: You know I did a course. I did a course, but I can't say that I really learned how to do it from that course. What I really learned was when I started believe it or not signed up for Helium 10, because they have so many of the courses, you know the get started courses. That's where I really Like I was already on the platform beginning the sales, but there is so much to learn. Bradley Sutton: So in Helium 10? Christine: I did all of the modules you know, from the first set to the second set. I mean literally everything and I would say that, and also being part of the elite meetings, that is where I really learned how to sell, so you joined elite even before you were that big of a seller. Yes. Bradley Sutton: And then that that was me, Like in 2016, 2017, I wasn't even a seller and I was like you know what I just want to, like be a fly on the wall in these trainings and learn, and that's how I like. I probably learned more in six months than I could have, you know, in like two or three years taking a course or something. So I took a very similar path as you, All right, so that's interesting. What about you, Sasha? Did you take a course too? Or you just like got just dove right in? Or how did you learn to do what you were doing in the first? Sasha: year or 18? It was all just manual work, digging into Amazon specs, so really digging in into the specifications of flat files and categories. And I actually started with there are not category listing reports, but with transaction reports. You know those reports that list every transaction and the challenge there is that Amazon doesn't give you a flat file there. It actually is grouped by different categories. It's very, very hard to figure out exactly what the expenses are, so it really makes you work to break it up and clean it up. And that took a lot of time to break up that file and eventually I made it so that every column would be would represent a single type of expense, so it'd be easy to run pivot tables on it and analyze it. Bradley Sutton: There goes your engineering background a little bit there. Now, where are you still selling the very first product that you started with? Sasha: No, and it's not because it wasn't selling well, it's just it became less of a product for the manufacturer. So I don't really sell my own products. I help partners that I have sell products in their accounts typically, and so it depends in a way what they're. Bradley Sutton: So that first one that you launched was that for your friend, who you made that with. Sasha: That's right, that was his products and businesses that have storefronts that are brick and mortar they have other channels, so they have other needs, other interests, so they might have distribution, they might have a retail store, and so Amazon website aren't always their first priority. Bradley Sutton: Yeah, that's another thing that one of you have in common with me is when I first started until I worked at Helium 10, I didn't have any of my own products 100%. I launched over 400 products before I started working at Helium 10. 100% was for other people partners or people who hired me. Just my mindset was like I'm good at what I do, I have a specific thing I'm doing and I like doing this where there's not risk, like I'm not risking my family's savings and it could totally fail, so I'm gonna get. I mean, it's not. Bradley Sutton: Of course, I always try to have success, but I didn't have to stay up at night knowing that I risk my second mortgage or something to do this product launch. Amazon could just close the account down back in those days. Now, if I had things to do over again, now that I know what I know, I would have probably gone ahead and launched on my own products. But in those days I was very happy just getting a paycheck and if they made a million dollars from my $1,000 work, great for them. But then if they lost money, it's like all right, sorry, not sorry. We did it. We did what we could. Sasha: I hear you. I hear you, but for me it's entirely different. I prefer to work with somebody else's product and do the marketing. In a way. For me it's sort of more customer facing for me. To figure out what it is they need, what their needs are, and make it work. Bradley Sutton: What's the biggest success story? Like some projects that you've worked on and now they've scaled up to X number of sales in a year or something like that. Anything stick out in your mind. Sasha: For me. There was a client that had not been on Amazon at all, but their products have for years and years. They're a large manufacturer of beauty products who sold through retail and distribution and when I took them on, they had hundreds and hundreds of listings that were not created by themselves but by other resellers that needed to be on Amazon. So in the end, when we eventually were able to capture that market share, those beauty products wound up being really large, really large numbers for them. Bradley Sutton: Hmm, well, how large we're talking. Well, we're talking about seven figures. I like it all. Right, excellent. Now going back to you, Christine, like you've been selling now for like three years or four years, which year was your peak in sales and approximately how much was it? Christine: I would say this year is the peak in sales. So this year's increased like 300% over last year. Bradley Sutton: Wow. Christine: An increase, and well, we're in the high six figures at this point. Bradley Sutton: Excellent, so this is your full income now. Christine: Yes. Bradley Sutton: And do you have employees, or are you doing this all on your own? Christine: Oh no, I couldn't possibly do it all on my own. Now I have a VA who does all of the reporting and all of the things like that for me, and of course I have a team. I've got the photographer, videographer, social media. Bradley Sutton: So that's in-house, or you just like have somebody on retainer or something. Christine: I just contract out as I need it yeah. Bradley Sutton: Awesome, awesome. Now, what's been your biggest L, your biggest loss, still with you, Christine, like the worst thing that's happened to you since you started selling on Amazon, because that's something that I like to keep it real. Amazon is not all rainbows and unicorns Listings gets shut down, you get hijacked and bad experience with customer service. Let's keep it real here. Let's be vulnerable. What's your biggest loss you've taken, or worst thing? Christine: Well, I had a. It's a product I still sell, so it was actually selling very, very well and it was like top you know top numbers and a new person had designed a similar product and so they came in and cited us as patent infringement. Amazon pulled all the listings down, which, of course, stopped the sales immediately. Now we had authorization to sell, we had a patent, we had everything, and I contacted Amazon with I mean right away and sent that document, sent it to the person that claimed the IP, and it still took over two and a half weeks to bring the listings back up. Of course, by then sales were lost. It had to sort of rebuild its rank and everything, and this person did it which I've learned since in order to launch his product right. Bradley Sutton: So he wanted to clear the way so that he was the only kind of player in the chain. Christine: Exactly, and so that's my first time really realizing the tricks that people play just to get ahead and that was disappointing. It was sad I lost money, but you know what? I wasn't going to let him win, so I just worked hard to get those sales back. Bradley Sutton: I love it. Now let's flip the script. What's the coolest thing that's ever happened? You like something unexpected or something amazing where you went viral, one of your products you sold out of inventory in two weeks or you made ridiculous profit on something. What's one of the coolest things that's happened to you? Christine: Well, yeah, I have sold out of inventory, but I've learned now to keep that in stock in backup. But actually this last prime day was probably one of the most exciting for me because I sold over a thousand units on that day For me that was A thousand units in one day, wow. Yeah, for me that was big, that was a big, exciting moment. Bradley Sutton: How many SKUs? Christine: In that particular product line there were five SKUs. Bradley Sutton: Wow. So how many units did you have in stock to cover that? That's a huge day. Christine: Well, here's what happened is I did run out, but I have a backup over at Deliver. So when it ran out it pulled from Deliver and gave me enough time to get more in. So I had, thank goodness, in the backup warehouse. I had a whole another thousand units ready to ship. And was able to send them in immediately as Deliver was fulfilling the overflow orders. Bradley Sutton: What would you say is the reason you did so well on Prime Day? Did you have some kind of, you know, Prime Exclusive Discount? Did you have a coupon? Did you send some outside traffic? Is there one thing that resulted in that crazy sales day? Christine: Well, I did a Prime Exclusive Discount. I also, prior to that, made sure all my ads were prepped and primed and that I made sure that the listing was 100% perfect and the pictures were perfect all before that Prime Day. So I guess I was just prepared. Bradley Sutton: I like it, Sasha. What about you? You know, sometimes, working with multiple accounts, you get exposed to even more things than the average. You know, seller, what's the worst thing? It doesn't have to be from you, but just like you were part of an account and you heard that something crazy happened. What's? Sasha: on Amazon. I think the most heartbreaking thing is when listings become hijacked. I mean, I've seen policy violations on Amazon and all sorts of difficulties that we have working with Amazon, but when listings get hijacked, that's just. I think. To me that's the toughest part. Bradley Sutton: And so what was one of the worst? Like somebody who had like, was there any? That was like they were selling 100 a day and it went to zero because of it, or something crazy like that. Sasha: They've got an entire product line with something that competitors were able to put Covid-related keywords in there somehow During the time when Covid items were hot and Amazon was blocking sellers, and so their entire list product line was shut down. Bradley Sutton: Yeah, all right. Well, let's not be doom and gloom. Christine talked about her. Great, you know, 1000 sale prime day. What about you? What's a crazy, amazing thing that's, like you know, can't happen, probably in the rain or it's very. It would be very impossible or very difficult for it to happen off of Amazon, but you've seen it happen on Amazon. Sasha: Gosh, I have to think about that, but the thing that comes to mind that the most satisfying thing that I had experienced was when I finally figured out how to put attributes up on Amazon that they don't give you in the category listing report. There are, for some, certain categories, like in the, for example, a grocery category that I work with a lot. When I was finally able to put up the nutrition table to get all the nutrition values up for products when it's not it's not regularly available in your category listing report, that was probably the most satisfying experience. Bradley Sutton: Where is that show on the list? Or does it show on the listing, or is this is only? We're talking about the back end here. Sasha: So it shows on the listing right above the bullet points. It's in that prime space below the title and right above the bullet points it'll show like nutrition information. It'll show ingredients and it will show the nutrition table that you usually see on products in the grocery store. Bradley Sutton: But for most products you don't actually get those attributes even if you download the flat file that you would, you know like it's not going to. It's not going to show up there. Sasha: It's not going to show up, even though it should. Bradley Sutton: So how do you do it? Do you like copy it from another category listing report that it does show up and then just paste those columns or something? Well, at this point, at this point. Sasha: You could probably find it. You could probably find it in some other category. I had to search for those attributes throughout the internet. I found them eventually in a European Amazon catalog. So I had to scrape them off of there and that's how I populated those columns. It didn't exist anywhere. My suspicion and I don't know this for sure, my suspicion is that they were available for products that were sold through Amazon Fresh. You know Amazon Fresh that product line, and so if you were in stores at Amazon Fresh, you had access to those fields, but not if you were in seller central, and so that was a bit of a hack. Bradley Sutton: All right, we're going to come back to you because I know your specialty is like flat files and stuff like that. So we're going to be getting lots of strategies. But going back to Christine, let's talk some strategy. Not anybody can have a thousand sale prime day. Not anybody can scale up on their own to high six figures. So what are some things that you think you're doing that is unique or that you're focusing on? Maybe it's not so unique, but it's like you put a big focus on it and you feel that that's part of the secret to your success. Christine: Well, I have these master files on literally everything that's required. So I think being organized and having all the information in one place is really important for me. For example I have, since I'm on both Amazon and Walmart I have like a spreadsheet that's got you know the UPC, the ASIN, the titles, the bullets, I mean literally everything on it that I can then, you know, adjust before fixing a listing, and I can refer to that sheet at any time I need to when I'm doing something else in Amazon, and also the same with Walmart. They have different IDs, different things, and this sheet goes as far as it has dimensions of the products and the pricing of the products. Bradley Sutton: Now, guys, I don't know if you picked up on this, but something I like to tell people is, no matter what career you come from, there's things that you can take from your previous life and apply to Amazon. You know if you guys picked up. You know Sasha used to be, you know computer science and engineer and stuff, and now he's got this analytical mind and now he just happens to be an expert on you know Excel and flat files and stuff. And listen, Christine, you know being an interior designer. You know she couldn't just like throw stuff together. You know like she probably had. Bradley Sutton: You know this system where she would really plan out her sets and very detailed, and now she's taken that and applied it to the way she manages her interior, designing her Amazon catalog, so you can always take stuff from and then play. You know, plus, sasha, you know being a service provider too. You know he's taking his acting lessons. He's very well spoken and eloquent there and very good looking too, so he's using whatever he can do right there. Sasha, back to you Another, maybe a flat file strategy that you can share with the community. Sasha: So with flat files, I think it's important to know that the category listing report is not necessarily what's live on the product page, and that's a major misconception that people have is that when they receive the category listing report, when they download it, they think that that accurately reflects what's up on the system, and it's not the way I would. The way I think about the CLR is that it is just a suggestion. It's what you've uploaded to Amazon and then Amazon makes a decision about whether they will accept that recommendation and update the data in the system or not. Conversely, the file itself, the category listing report or the category template, that is also Amazon's suggestion to you, what you can upload to the, to the cloud, and you don't necessarily have to follow that recommendation. Sasha: That's why there are a lot of ways to hack the file, the Excel file that comes down from from Amazon, and so one of the first things that you do if you do have a conflict, if you have an issue, you may take a look at what's in your category listing report and then compare it to the, to the UI, to the data fields that you see in your seller central when you click the edit button and take a look at the shaded text and numbers that are right above the field, which shows you what's what's on the cloud live, and very often you'll find that what you've uploaded is not exactly the same as what's on that now, and that could be things like title, it could be bullet points, clearly, product ideas and other other fields that Amazon doesn't think that you have the right to update or you have the priority to update. So that's one check that I would do once in a while to make sure that what you think is being uploaded is actually getting up there. Bradley Sutton: Okay, is it? I mean, I know this was the case years ago, but you know what would happen and how some people would get their listings, you know, shut down. Is you know, like, like, like COVID type keywords, but any adult keywords, drug related keywords, they would go to a marketplace where that seller wasn't in and where there's open spots in their flat file sometimes they would get to, you know, throw some of those keywords in there and then it would stop it. And then you know what was you know one way years ago of how to stop that is like hey, hey, you know, make sure everything in your flat files are filled out and even upload it to different marketplaces. Is that? Can that still help? Or what is the latest protection on how you can stop people from abusing the flat file system? Where, where they can get your listing, you know, shut down? Sasha: That is absolutely the right thing to do is fill out the category list and report with all the fields that are relevant to your product, and there's a couple that that are sort of not part of your product listing unless you're in the adult category that you should also update. But that is the good recommendation to update as much as you can that is relevant to your product, because bad actors can update your listings by doing that in other marketplaces or by virtue of having access to higher level of Amazon account, for example, they can do it through vendor central right. So that is that is a good recommendation. It is getting harder for people to to hijack casually because Amazon is making it more difficult for people to create and modify listings for that are owned by brand registry. But they they could still do it, and so I would. Sasha: I would say don't go overboard and try to complete every single empty field in your listing report, because you really cannot do that. There are many more fields that are related to your product. Then you can actually see when you download your category listing report. So you can't really even contemplate completing every possible field, but you should fill out those fields that are relevant. You should fill out those fields that have to do with compliance has met and so on, and you should fill out the field that has to do with is is this an adult product? To make sure that those don't get in there. Aside from that, you could you could still have bad actors put bad, bad keywords in your product. They'll get you shut down so that yeah, that's that hijacking process still exists out there. Bradley Sutton: Okay, I'm just curious what's your ratio of sales from Amazon to Walmart? Five to one, 10 to one. Amazon more, Would you say it? Christine: for me it's. Let's see, last year it was like Five to one, this year it's more like eight to one on one. Bradley Sutton: It changed so eight to eight. For every eight dollars you sell on Amazon, you sell one dollar on Walmart. Christine: Yes. Bradley Sutton: Okay, are you using WFS? Christine: Yes. Bradley Sutton: Okay, how's your profit margins? You know like after, if you know calculate out what you're you know selling or you know doing for PPC, etc. Is the profit margins similar or you making more money than one platform, than the other? Christine: Well, last year I made more I mean profit margin was better on Walmart. This year the advertising Something's a skew there. So the profit margins not as good On Walmart as it was last year and I'm hoping they fix that and that goes back up. But typically because Walmart doesn't charge as much for delivery, they do still charge the 15%. They don't charge as much delivery. There is room for a better profit margin on Walmart. Bradley Sutton: Okay, interesting, interesting. Do you find that there's less competition for your niche on Walmart compared to Amazon? Are you fighting more competitors on Amazon or is similar to the same ones? You who are there on Amazon are also there on the Walmart. Christine: I think it's less competition. It's less competition, but it's harder to rank up for some reason. But you know, it's a unique client. Each platform has its set of unique clients, right and certain products. Like I, have five different products With many, many skews. So one product does very, very well on Walmart and Not so well on Amazon. Bradley Sutton: So you're doing better on Walmart than you are on Amazon for one product. Christine: Yes, yes. Bradley Sutton: Yeah, I know Kerry's got one or two like that too interesting. Christine: Yeah, and where the other products do better on Amazon. It's interesting. So I I come to where I'm picking out different products for the different platforms. Bradley Sutton: Could you have predicted that, like you know, when you were looking in helium 10 at the search volume or the competitors, like could you have said you know what I think this might be, or it did it just happen, and then now, in retrospect, you know what to look for as far as science about what could be better on Walmart than Amazon? Christine: I think it just happened. But yes, now in retrospect I can look a little bit more, I have a bit more information about what to look for and you know, price is a key it's just a key thing on Walmart. So having good price products so if you have a product that's a little bit higher priced For me I'm putting it on Amazon it just doesn't move as well on Walmart. In my category I'm talking about kitchen now in another category it might work just fine, but in my category the lower priced products that appear to have the best value for the price let's put it that way Move better on Walmart. And yes, now I'm picking out things that fit that category. Bradley Sutton: Sasha you doing anything at all with Walmart, or everything that you do is all on Amazon. Sasha: I help with Walmart as well, but it really varies by client. There are certain products that don't do well on Walmart at all because they are on Walmart shelves and so if it's a, if it's a product that can be purchased from Walmart, in the store and Amazon and Walmart will ship it at their Walmart price, it's very difficult to compete with an Amazon price that includes FBA fees. So it it's really kind of all over the board where some products do Better on Walmart when there's no competitors and there's some products that really don't even have opportunity to compete. Bradley Sutton: Okay, and what's your last strategy for us? If I were to ask you for your 60 second, your 60 second strategy of the of the day for you? I mean, I said flat files because that's your specialty, but it could be about anything. Sasha: I'll stick with flat files. My top recommendation would be to create variations. Create them often and Don't wait until it's too late. You're your ASINs, your, your product listings are your assets on Amazon and they're constantly at risk. They could be taken down for multiple reasons, and so when your product reaches a level of maturity, when you have Thousands of reviews and is doing very well, create a variation, even if you don't think you need one. Create something with small, small modification. Pair it up with your best seller and let that new product gather reviews and that new product becomes a new asset and Then, once are doing well, you have the option of splitting it off from your main parent and take up Amazon real estate. So that's one of the top strategies I use with clients is I create variations with, with new products cool, cool. Bradley Sutton: Now. If people wanted to reach out to you, Sasha, to see if you know to contact you and ask for your you know Russian escapades, or perhaps talk about you know flat files or whatever, how can they find you on the interwebs out there? Sasha: If, if they want, if you want to have, they want to have that beer, I'll tell them the local bar. But if they want to talk about Amazon I'm usually on the Friday calls at 11 o'clock that those are always great case studies, so I'm usually. They are also in the Helium 10 elite Facebook group and of course it. If you want to reach out directly, my email is at amazon@cutterstone.com. Cutterstone spell, just like it sounds. Bradley Sutton: Cool now, Christine, you know, no pressure, you don't have to say your contact information, but if somebody was inspired by something you said and they wanted to reach out to you, dude, would you like anybody to reach out? Christine: Yeah, I'm happy to help. I mean, so many people help me along the way I want to do the same, so I'm happy to help, and my email would be christioinfo@gmail.com. Bradley Sutton: Awesome, all right. Well, you too it's. It's a great, you know, been having you and you know weekly calls and seeing you at the elite events. And Next one, probably neither of you can make it to because I'm doing it, we're probably doing it in Germany, so that'll be a bit of a bit of a drive for you guys who are used to being here in Southern California, but perhaps I'll see you at the next, you know, like online meetup or Next conference. You know be great to see you again. Christine: Thank you. Bradley Sutton: Great to be here.

Have you heard about the UN, Bill Gates, and The Rockefeller Foundation launching the '50-in-5′ agenda to make digital IDs, vaccine passports, and CBDCs mandatory to participate in society by 2030? What about the concept of 15-minute cities where everything you need will be available by walking, bike, or public transportation?  These are just two examples of how life will change soon. While these people like to use words like inclusivity, sustainability, and equality, they deliberately forget about surveillance, tracking, and control.   Lisa and I will go over what this means in the very near future and how this all ties into The World Economic Forum agenda. This started as a “Tin Foil Hat Time” subject, but I'm unsure how far-fetched it is. These days, Conspiracy theories are just spoiler alerts, and these seem to be the same type of Conspiracy “Theory.”  Lisa will also be going over wound care and any questions she gets towards the end of the show. She will also be back in a couple of weeks to go into more detail about SHTF medical issues.

Matthew 25:1-13[Jesus said,] “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five of them were wise. The foolish took no oil with their lamps, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Look! Here is the bridegroom. Come out to meet him.'“So the bridesmaids got up and began to trim their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' The wise replied, ‘No. There will not be enough for you and for us. You had better go to the dealers and buy some more for yourselves.' And while they were out, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went with him into the banquet and the door was shut. Later, the others returned and, knocking on the door, cried, ‘Lord! Lord! Open to us!' But the bridegroom replied, ‘Very truly I tell you, I do not know you.'“Keep awake, therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” The fun and faithful thing to do with any good parable is to imagine where we fit into the narrative of it all. In the one about the Prodigal Son, we're supposed to wonder if we are the son who ran off with all of the father's money, or the older sibling who stayed at home, followed the rules, and pouted about the father's generosity. In another parable we're supposed to wonder if we are the one sheep who got lost and separated from the fold, or if we're part of the 99 who huddled safely with the rest of the flock. Are we the hardest working laborer in the vineyard or are we the ones who show up long after lunch and still get paid a full day's wage? Are we the priest, the Levite, or the Good Samaritan in that story about the guy who gets beaten, abused and abandoned by robbers on the road to Jericho? You get the idea.And this morning is no different, though it does seem a bit harder to distinguish where we should look to find ourselves here – or who's who at all in this strange story. The more traditional and obvious interpretations of the parable of the ten bridesmaids invite us to wonder about whether we'd find ourselves in league with the wise or the foolish. Are we wise, faithful and prepared, with enough oil to keep our lamps lit and be on time for the wedding banquet? Or are we foolish procrastinators, running out of oil and running to the store for more oil, just in time to miss the party?Isn't that what it seems to be about at first glance? Like someone is suggesting we keep awake, be prepared, keep our lamps trimmed and burning; that we keep the faith, practice our piety, do all the right things; so that when the bridegroom comes – who is clearly Jesus in this scenario – we'll be welcomed into the party.But this traditional interpretation requires us to wonder if Jesus is a jerk – like the bridegroom seems to be in this story; like he's some sort of bouncer at the bar, checking IDs and deciding who gets in and who is kept out of the pearly gates of paradise, rather than the loving, generous, merciful, forgiving, gracious host I've been told my whole life to expect to greet me when the time comes. It's a nightmare to suggest Jesus would leave us locked outside the Kingdom's door, saying “very truly” that he doesn't even know who we are.Because, think about it, Jesus promised, earlier in this same Gospel, “Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” So that can't be the guy standing at the door this morning at the wedding; the guy who lets the first five, wise ones in, and pretends he doesn't even know the other late, foolish bridesmaids who ran out of oil. Are you with me?This can't be the same Jesus who, just two chapters earlier in this same Gospel, warned the scribes and Pharisees, “…woe to you … hypocrites! For you lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. For you do not go in yourselves, and when others are going in, you stop them.” Why would Jesus chastise gatekeepers and door-lockers in one breath and then invite us to imagine him to be one of them in the next? I don't think he would. And I don't think that's what he's doing this morning.In a blog I read this week, a pastor named Michael Krey confirmed something I've preached before about this parable – that it's fair and faithful to see the bridegroom at the door in this parable, not as Jesus at all, but as Peter – as Cephas – the rock on whom the Church is built. And he made it seem more obvious and concrete than I have ever thought before.Remember that story about Peter? In this same Gospel, Matthew, Chapter 16, after Peter declares, with great faith, that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God, Jesus says that he's right, and that, because of his faith, his name going forward would be Cephas, which means “Rock,” and upon that rock, he would build God's Church; that he would give him the proverbial keys to the front door… I mean the keys to the wedding banquet… I mean the keys to the Kingdom… along with the power to bind and loose sins, and ostensibly, then, to choose who's in and who's out; who's wise and who's foolish; who wins and who loses; and so on and so on.And if all of that's true… if Peter is the one working the door and if Peter represents the Church… and if we are the Church – you and I… THAT'S where we find ourselves in this parable in the end. And THAT leaves us to wonder some pretty big stuff – not about how wise and foolish we are, like so many bridesmaids. But, we're left to wonder, instead, how we manage the blessings of the Kingdom we're called to share.Who are we keeping out and who are we welcoming in? Are we a place that plays host only to the wise and the well-healed; those who have all the oil, if you will; all the resources; those who refuse to share with those the world would call foolish? Are we throwing a party for the wise bridesmaids who don't have time or space or grace or mercy for the less fortunate; the less privileged; the late… or less desirable… or lazy… or whatever else the world encourages us to call those we don't deem to be worthy of God's fullness?If you prayed over the course of this weekend's 36 Hour Prayer Vigil, or if you paid attention to the materials we shared regarding this morning's Commitment Sunday, or if you've just been around here for a while, I hope you have received the message that we are trying to share our oil and the light of our proverbial lamps with the world around us in as many ways as we can manage.Remember, we've transformed our Building Fund into a Building and Outreach Fund, since we paid off our mortgage over a year ago. And that means we have plans to be prepared and ready, like so many wise bridesmaids, by saving some of our money for future expansion, and by saving for maintenance and repair needs, as they come. It also means we're committed to giving 50% of those offerings away, outside of ourselves, to the tune of about $80,000 this year alone.For me, that's our way of saying, this isn't all or only about “us,” by any stretch; that we're always working to make room for more. That we're always being called to give outside of ourselves. And that we're forever being challenged to open our doors and our hands and our hearts to whoever comes knocking, looking for the banquet of grace we enjoy in this place, on behalf of the world.Which brings me back to Peter, and the challenging invitation it is to see ourselves, in him, as God's church in the world, manning the door to the Kingdom among us. See, the other evidence and justification we have for imagining that bridegroom to be Peter, is the last, awful thing he says to the bridesmaids he keeps locked outside of the wedding banquet. Do you remember what he said? “Very truly I tell you, I do not know you.”Peter did that one other time, remember. Or three other times, actually, when he denied Jesus just before the crucifixion. “I don't know the man,” he declared when he was accused of being one of Jesus' disciples. The denial of the bridesmaids in the parable this morning is a foreshadowing of Peter's denial of Jesus, himself. And it's a warning for us, just that same, that that is not who or how we're called to be as God's Church in the world.So may this parable be an invitation, not just to be wise instead of foolish and prepared at every turn; not just to store up and share our oil in faithful, responsible ways; not just to wait patiently and with hope for the coming of God's Kingdom and, indeed, to recognize it in our midst.But may this parable be another invitation to look for Jesus, himself … in the outcast among us … knocking at the door when we least expect it. And may it be encouragement to do our best to be prepared, with resources and with grace, with hospitality and with hope, to welcome him in to the feast that is his in the first place … and that is ours to share … always, for the sake of the world … until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream for all of God's children, just as it has been promised to you and to me.Amen

As more people take tourist jaunts into space, and eventually into orbit for longer stays, social drinking will become part of the experience—even if it's just that bottle of congratulatory champagne. Besides the odd effects of zero-g on fizzy drinks in the stomach, the effects of imbibing alcohol cause a wide variety of risks and concerns. And while this is not entirely unknown territory—the Russians have been known to drink cognac from time to time (and are strongly suspected of taking vodka into space), the data is slim. Space alcohol expert Colleen McLeod Garner has studied this for years and written articles on the topic and will join us to discuss the joys and potential downsides of the consumption of booze in the final frontier—no fake IDs allowed! Headlines:  Astronaut Frank Borman, Gemini 7 and Apollo 8 commander, has died at age 95. He was an icon of the early space program. NASA launches a new free streaming app called NASA+ with space documentaries and live events. A tiny experimental satellite called TRISAT-R managed to take a blurry photo of Earth with a camera the size of a coin's edge. Main Topic: Alcohol Use in Space Brief history: NASA bans it, but a few Russians have consumed vodka in space. Astronauts had communion wine. Pros: Provides relaxation, normalcy, creature comforts to deal with stress. Processes in alcohol fermentation could be a component in closed-loop recycling. Cons: Impairs functioning, cognition. Unknown effects in zero-G include faster absorption, longer lasting buzz. Beer causes wet burps (gas issues). Experiments: Aging whiskey, wine, and beer in space - some marketing gimmicks but also valuable research. Tourism vs. settlements: Rules may be looser for paying tourists than permanent crews. Challenges: Regulating it, possible licensing. Hard to brew/produce enough in space initially.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, November 1st, 2023. Samaritan Ministries: How are you planning to pay your medical bills in 2024? Before answering that question, here are three reasons you should look into health care sharing with Samaritan Ministries. One, there are no networks which means you choose the doctors and hospitals you go to, and have a say in the treatments you receive. Two, you’re part of a Christian community. When you have a medical need, fellow members send money directly to you to help you pay your shareable medical bills. And you’ll do the same for them, all while praying for and encouraging one another. Three, it could be more affordable than what you’re paying now. For more reasons to join the Samaritan community, visit samaritan ministries dot org slash cross politic. https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/step-aside-hillary-joe-biden-may-become-king-email-scandals-new Step aside Hillary, Joe Biden may become king of email scandals as new stash alarms investigators The National Archives’ stunning admission that it has located 82,000 pages of potentially government-related emails from Joe Biden’s private accounts not only threatens to supplant Hillary Clinton in the annals of email scandals, it could also provide a boon to the ongoing federal and congressional investigations into the Biden family. The admission came out Monday as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit brought by the non-profit Southeastern Legal Foundation. “We're duty bound to make sure that everybody's following the law here. And it sure looks like that's questionable at this moment,” Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., a member of the House Oversight Committee that is conducting the Biden impeachment inquiry right now, said hours after the revelation. Perry told the John Solomon Reports podcast that lawmakers in Congress must take action to ensure all the emails are preserved given the history of Hillary Clinton’s team trying to delete her private emails or to destroy the devices they were stored on. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who first raised questions about President Biden’s use of private email years ago, said the discovery of the emails should be combed for potential evidence by every investigator from Congress to the Justice Department. Under legal pressure, the National Archives has confirmed to a court that it has located 82,000 pages of emails that Biden sent or received during his vice presidential tenure on three private pseudonym accounts. It’s a total that potentially dwarfs the amount that landed Hillary Clinton in hot water a decade ago. The total of Biden private email exchanges was disclosed Monday in a little-noticed status report filed in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought against the National Archives and Records Administration by the nonprofit public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation. The foundation brought the lawsuit seeking access to the emails after Just the News revealed a year ago that Joe Biden had used three pseudonym email accounts – during the time he served as President Barack Obama’s vice president. The status report filed Monday in a federal court in Atlanta was the first to provide an estimate of the size and scope of possible government business conducted through Joe Biden’s private email accounts. To date, there is no indication from the National Archives in the court case that any of Biden’s email contain classified information. However, the president is under criminal investigation by Special Counsel Robert Hur for taking classified documents from his time as vice president and as a senator and storing them in insecure locations in the garage of his Delaware home and a think tank office he kept in Washington D.C. Hur recently spent two days interview Biden in that investigation. President Donald Trump has already been indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith for mishandling classified documents the FBI recovered from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida or that Trump returned to the Archives belatedly. Perry said he will be inquiring whether the FBI or DOJ has ever reviewed the Biden email stash located by the National Archives for relevant criminal investigations involving Hunter Biden or Biden’s handling of classified information and whether prosecutors ever considered charges for possible violations of the Federal Records Act.

On Monday, the Department of Education (DOE) released a draft text that showed that the narrower plan would allow student debt forgiveness to apply only to specific groups of students rather than being a blanket rule that would cancel debt for some 45 million borrowers under the original plan. The first student loan proposal, announced by President Joe Biden, would have promised up to $20,000 in debt relief for low- and middle-income individuals. The Supreme Court struck that down in June. The DOE has yet to release the full details of the plan, saying that it wants to cancel some or all student debt for borrowers whose balances exceed what they originally owed; those who have loans that entered repayment 25 or more years ago; those who used loans to attend career-training programs that led to “unreasonable” debt loads or insufficient earnings; or those who are eligible for other loan forgiveness programs but did not apply. A fifth group is also being discussed, or “those who are experiencing financial hardship that the current student loan system does not currently adequately address,” the DOE said. The draft does not include details about how many borrowers would be impacted by the federal government's latest plan. It also did not include details about how much it may cost. The DOE stated it will continue to refine the proposal as it goes through a federal rulemaking process. The public will be able to provide written feedback next year. The draft proposal would give the department authority to wipe away federal student loans entirely for borrowers in some categories. The Biden administration has canceled more than $120 billion in federal student loan debt via existing student loan forgiveness programs for specific individuals. Previously, the president called for a plan to help “as many borrowers as possible,” but his administration seems to be moving away from the type of mass cancellation that he promised in August 2022. That plan was estimated to cost $400 billion. It’s unclear how much the second proposal will cost. https://www.dailyfetched.com/experts-claim-not-reading-mainstream-media-can-cause-heart-attacks/ ‘Experts’ Claim Not Reading Mainstream Media Can Cause Heart Attacks Not Reading mainstream media and opting for alternative sources can cause heart attacks, according to new research reported by the mainstream media. Yes, really. According to a pilot study led by Manchester Metropolitan University, those who do not read legacy mainstream media and opt for alternative sources of information demonstrate unhealthy symptoms of physical and mental stress, which can lead to heart attacks. The research study used so-called “sophisticated techniques” to monitor how people use media websites to measure their reactions to online information. The researchers claimed people with a low ID have a flawed ‘threat’ response when presented with misleading information in a stressful situation, which they say brings on cardiac responses and erratic reading behavior. The study also found that participants with low IDs also lacked self-confidence. It also claimed that reading alternative media from “unverified” sources (i.e., not reading CNN, MSNBC, BBC, ect) could negatively affect a person’s health and well-being. Senior Lecturer in Information and Communications at Manchester Metropolitan University and principal investigator on the study, Dr Geoff Walton, said: “Those who aren’t very good at making judgments about information they read or see in newspapers, TV, or social media, especially misinformation such as fake news, experience a negative physical response to it. This means that misinformation is actually bad for their physical health. “On the other hand, those people that are very good at making judgments about information tend to have a much healthier physical response when they encounter misinformation,” he said. Woman screams as Donald Trump is sworn in as President- Play 0:00-0:10 - That was an example of the healthy response they may exhibit. “Given the constant barrage of fake news that we come across every day of our lives, it clearly shows there is a worrying public health issue emerging.” “However, our previous research has shown that we can change this through teaching and training so that people get better at making judgments about misinformation such as fake news.” “By doing so, they will have a much better physical response, which will positively affect their well-being.” “This shows it is now time for school teachers and lecturers to be given the right tools, devised in our previous research, to develop ID in their learners.” The results will be presented at the European Conference on Information Literacy (ECIL) later this year. A peer-reviewed journal article is in preparation, and a larger study is planned. Similarly, a WHO study from 2022 claimed reading so-called “misinformation” can have a negative effect on health. The official website of the WHO reported: Incorrect interpretations of health information, which increase during outbreaks and disasters, often negatively impact people’s mental health and increase vaccine hesitancy, and can delay the provision of health care, a new WHO review shows. The authors conclude that the effects of infodemics and health misinformation online can be countered by “developing legal policies, creating and promoting awareness campaigns, improving health-related content in mass media and increasing people’s digital and health literacy”. The systematic review of published studies found 31 reviews that analysed fake news, misinformation, disinformation and infodemics related to health. Misinformation was defined as false or inaccurate information deliberately intended to deceive, while disinformation also included misleading or biased information, manipulated narratives or facts, and propaganda. The authors gathered, compared, and summarized this evidence in order to identify ways to address the negative effects of false health information on public health. “Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram are critical in disseminating the rapid and far-reaching spread of information,” the systematic review explains. The repercussions of misinformation on social media include such negative effects as “an increase in erroneous interpretation of scientific knowledge, opinion polarization, escalating fear and panic or decreased access to health care”. The increased spread of health-related misinformation in a health emergency is accelerated by easy access to online content, especially on smartphones. “During crises such as infectious disease outbreaks and disasters, the overproduction of data from multiple sources, the quality of the information and the speed at which new information is disseminated create social and health-related impacts.” The authors found that social media have been propagating poor-quality health-related information during pandemics, humanitarian crises, and health emergencies at an increasing rate. They note, “Such spreading of unreliable evidence on health topics amplifies vaccine hesitancy and promotes unproven treatments.” All the more reason not to read mainstream media.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, November 1st, 2023. Samaritan Ministries: How are you planning to pay your medical bills in 2024? Before answering that question, here are three reasons you should look into health care sharing with Samaritan Ministries. One, there are no networks which means you choose the doctors and hospitals you go to, and have a say in the treatments you receive. Two, you’re part of a Christian community. When you have a medical need, fellow members send money directly to you to help you pay your shareable medical bills. And you’ll do the same for them, all while praying for and encouraging one another. Three, it could be more affordable than what you’re paying now.

The admission came out Monday as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit brought by the non-profit Southeastern Legal Foundation. “We're duty bound to make sure that everybody's following the law here. And it sure looks like that's questionable at this moment,” Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., a member of the House Oversight Committee that is conducting the Biden impeachment inquiry right now, said hours after the revelation. Perry told the John Solomon Reports podcast that lawmakers in Congress must take action to ensure all the emails are preserved given the history of Hillary Clinton’s team trying to delete her private emails or to destroy the devices they were stored on. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who first raised questions about President Biden’s use of private email years ago, said the discovery of the emails should be combed for potential evidence by every investigator from Congress to the Justice Department. Under legal pressure, the National Archives has confirmed to a court that it has located 82,000 pages of emails that Biden sent or received during his vice presidential tenure on three private pseudonym accounts. It’s a total that potentially dwarfs the amount that landed Hillary Clinton in hot water a decade ago. The total of Biden private email exchanges was disclosed Monday in a little-noticed status report filed in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought against the National Archives and Records Administration by the nonprofit public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation. The foundation brought the lawsuit seeking access to the emails after Just the News revealed a year ago that Joe Biden had used three pseudonym email accounts – during the time he served as President Barack Obama’s vice president. The status report filed Monday in a federal court in Atlanta was the first to provide an estimate of the size and scope of possible government business conducted through Joe Biden’s private email accounts. To date, there is no indication from the National Archives in the court case that any of Biden’s email contain classified information. However, the president is under criminal investigation by Special Counsel Robert Hur for taking classified documents from his time as vice president and as a senator and storing them in insecure locations in the garage of his Delaware home and a think tank office he kept in Washington D.C. Hur recently spent two days interview Biden in that investigation. President Donald Trump has already been indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith for mishandling classified documents the FBI recovered from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida or that Trump returned to the Archives belatedly. Perry said he will be inquiring whether the FBI or DOJ has ever reviewed the Biden email stash located by the National Archives for relevant criminal investigations involving Hunter Biden or Biden’s handling of classified information and whether prosecutors ever considered charges for possible violations of the Federal Records Act.

On Monday, the Department of Education (DOE) released a draft text that showed that the narrower plan would allow student debt forgiveness to apply only to specific groups of students rather than being a blanket rule that would cancel debt for some 45 million borrowers under the original plan. The first student loan proposal, announced by President Joe Biden, would have promised up to $20,000 in debt relief for low- and middle-income individuals. The Supreme Court struck that down in June. The DOE has yet to release the full details of the plan, saying that it wants to cancel some or all student debt for borrowers whose balances exceed what they originally owed; those who have loans that entered repayment 25 or more years ago; those who used loans to attend career-training programs that led to “unreasonable” debt loads or insufficient earnings; or those who are eligible for other loan forgiveness programs but did not apply.

Being nerds, we also discuss the latest gadgets and pop culture news Subscribe To Our Podcast Bertrand SchmittWelcome to Episode 47 of Tech DECIPHERED. This will be the first episode in a series of two episodes about Day zero as a founder. Basically, we will talk in Episode 47 about what is Day zero as a founder? We will talk about when is it a good time to start a business, how to validate? Your startup IDs. Of course, we'll go around three key things: product, market, and team. That will be all for episode 47. You will hear more in our episode 48 about culture, about structure, legal, and about second-time funders. Nuno.Nuno Gonçalves PedroFirst things first.Bertrand SchmittFirst things first.Nuno Gonçalves PedroFirst things first, what is day zero? Day zero is basically to us when you're really starting your company. You have an idea, you may have done a little bit of market research. You've sought through a few things, but you're about to go and embark on this journey of having a startup or a company of some sort.Nuno Gonçalves PedroThe first important thing is, what are you doing? What is it you're going to do the company on? Is it a services company? Is it a product company? Is it something that you've done before? We're going to start a little bit today in this episode talking about first-time founders. Later on, we'll talk about the differences between second-time founders and first-time founders. Most of the episode today and then part of the episode next time will focus a lot on first time founders.Nuno Gonçalves PedroBut at least you have to have a notion of product or service. What is it that I'm supplying to the market? Second, what is the market? What market am I going to operate in? Third, what is the team? Normally, the team at day zero is you and potentially co-founders. It might be you by yourself, if you're a single founder or a solopreneur, as we call it.Nuno Gonçalves PedroWhat do you do first? The first things you need to do is to understand what markets are you going to act on, what products or services are you going to manifest in that market, and what's the ongoing team into this problem, into this company? That's your effective day zero start. If you don't have these things and you're like, "Oh, I just have an idea for a startup," that's cool, but it's not something you can go and raise money on. It's not something you can go and do anything on. You have to at least go to a stage where you have a plan, where you have a potential co-founding team, where you have a market that you're going to operate on.Bertrand SchmittBy the way, not all businesses are venture-backable or not, and that might be something we come back to. I would say another point is also around, are you still working another job? Are you doing this part-time during your nights and weekends? Or have you resigned from your previous job and moved full-time on this idea? That's always a big question.Bertrand SchmittI would say a lot of people, you wonder if they are serious enough when they have been...

The conflict in the Middle East continues to get worse as more evidence of the war crimes committed by Hamas is released. Reports indicate the terrorist group is drugging its soldiers up with Captagon, also known as “the poor man's cocaine.” If you were wondering how some of these atrocities were carried out, look no further than amphetamine-induced rage. Even worse, federal officials are concerned that members of Hamas and Hezbollah are infiltrating the United States through the southern border. The enemy is already here, whether our officials want to admit it or not. North Korea is deploying thousands of IT freelancers with fake IDs to work U.S. jobs to fund its weapons systems. Who exactly is vetting these individuals, and why are we unable to do a better job? A report from the Federalist details European travel limitations that are clearly intended to immobilize the masses. It's not about climate change; it's about controlling the populace. On his show, Bill Maher correctly pointed out that “higher education has become indoctrination,” and after the pro-Palestine madness on campuses the last few weeks, he's clearly right. Our education system has been corrupted from the inside out, and the only way to save the next generation is to keep college campuses out of it. Fans walked out of a Dave Chappelle show in Boston on Thursday after the comedian criticized Israel's bombing of Gaza. While Chappelle is likely coming at this in good faith, he fails to recognize that this conflict cannot be understood with a western mindset. The people in the Middle East, particularly Muslims, do not view the world the same way you and I do. We're joined by Carmine Sabia, journalist and editor, to get his take on Trump's chances to retake the White House and a potential Byron Donalds bid for speaker of the House.
