DESCRIPTION For this episode, you get to benefit from one of the pod classes that the members of the Canine Business Academy have access to. This is an in-depth discussion with Adam Ashburn, the co-founder of Test Tube Marketing. They help businesses to generate more sales. Adam explains how to layout your sales pages and write content that holds the attention of the customers you want; make it clear you understand their pain points and can be relied upon to solve their problem. His surprisingly simple 17 step sales page checklist, which can be implemented gradually, is sure to significantly boost your sales.

Once you know the academy is a good fit for you, the cost is just £27 +VAT per month and you can cancel at any point. KEY TAKEAWAYS A sales page is very different from other types of webpages. Talk directly to the type of customer you are there to help. Focus on what you can do for them. Stop talking about yourself, your years of experience, etc. It switches people off. You don´t need to constantly justify yourself. Use testimonials and case studies to do that. Don´t over complicate things. Just demonstrate that you understand the problem, know how to resolve it and can be trusted to help. Some people read every word; others skim read. Adam explains how to engage both types of readers. Avoid jargon so Joe Public can understand. The more generic your sales page is, the less impactful it will be. To avoid this, create detailed customer avatars. Outline your promise, be clear who it is for, what problems you are promising to solve and how your fulfilling that improves your customers´ future life. Think about how the person you are speaking to feels now, and how you want them to feel after you´ve helped them. Anticipate and address objections. Create a sales page for each service. Tempt people onto your mailing list so you can convert them into customers later. BEST MOMENTS “As soon as you start talking about you, then, you are switching people off.” “It is impactful because people feel you are talking to them directly.” “Showing not telling is best.” “As a consumer …. I just want to know what you can do for me and what I need to do next.” “A good sales page makes the price less important.” “Simple is smart, complicated is stupid.” “The simpler the language is, the simpler it is to navigate, the better results you'll get.” EPISODE RESOURCES Access the free 17P´s Sales Page Checklist - https://www.instagram.com/testtubemarketing https://hemingwayapp.com SOCIALS AND IMPORTANT LINKS https://www.tiktok.com/@letstalkdogbusiness https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkDogBusiness Website www.caninebusinessacademy.com Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caninebusinessacademycommunity/ Let´s Talk Dog Business Strategy Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lets-Talk-Dog-Business-Strategy/dp/1068791705 ABOUT THE HOSTS Meet Jo and Vicky!

If you've spent years successfully managing your own investments, do you really need a financial advisor? That's the question Bob, one of our listeners, sent in. He's got an MBA, knows the markets well, and has always handled his portfolio solo. So, is working with an advisor just an extra expense, or could it actually add real value? In this episode, we break down when and why even experienced investors might benefit from professional guidance and when they're probably fine on their own.   Important Links: Website: http://www.yourplanningpros.com Call: 844-707-7381   ----more---- Transcript:    Speaker 1: If you've spent years successfully managing your own investments, do you really need a financial advisor? That's a question that one of our listeners sent in, and it works really well, because earlier this month, we had a similar question, but from a business owner's standpoint. So let's tackle it now from the other side and see if we can help you break it down here on Plan With The Tax Man.   Hey everybody, welcome to the podcast. Thanks for hanging out with Tony and myself as we talk investing, finance and retirement. Of course, Tony here is the star of the show, if you will. He's the CPA and the CFP, he's the big kahuna. He's an EA with 30-plus years of experience helping folks get to and through retirement. And Tony, we had an email question that came into the website, yourplanningpros.com, you get lots of emails for things, and this one was based off the podcast. But either way, it was still interesting this month, so we tackled really two of them this month, in the month of February, thinking about the business owner's standpoint from our last episode for a question that had come in about, hey, I've built a nice business, but how do I make a retirement plan out of that? So if folks didn't check that out, feel free to go check out that prior episode, Plan With The Tax Man, on whatever app you like using. You can also find that information on his website at yourplanningpros.com.   And this week, we're going to do a similar question, but this is from Bob, and it's more the DIY, just do the normal thing retirement planning yourself. So Bob's question, Tony, says, "I have an MBA and I understand investments well. I've always handled my portfolio myself instead of having professional help, and I've done pretty good at it, if I'm being honest. So in your honest opinion," he says, "Is there really any reason for someone like me to work with someone like you, an advisor?" So we get a lot of this, and the DIY movement's been very popular the last couple of years.   Tony Mauro: It has, yeah.   Speaker 1: And so, it's certainly a fair question, because a lot of people definitely have taken this route. And Tony, I'll set you up this way, I'll let you just jump right in and tackle it how you want to with his question. But to me, the biggest piece is, is it the accumulation phase he's been working on or the distribution phase? Because it sounds like the accumulation, just based on this question, and that is a whole lot easier, I think, than the preservation, distribution, AKA the retirement phase. But anyway, what do you think?   Tony Mauro: The honesty is it depends, because if he truly is savvy enough that he thinks he is and basically doesn't have a lot of worries about what he's doing and how he's progressing and he feels good about it, we would tell him, "Hey, look," if we were sitting... What we do, the first phase of our whole planning process is we sit the client down and have them basically answer 10 extremely easy questions and we score it, and if they don't, based on their own responses, show some anxiety or worry or need for help, I tell them, "I don't really know why you're here in this meeting because it looks like you've got it under control." So then you have a conversation from there, "Tell me why you are here," and let it go from there.   But I think that where we can lend value, even in the accumulation phase... Because I try to convince people right off the bat, it's not about what investments or whatnot we pick, it's basically about setting a plan, let's make sure all the bases are covered, whether it's accumulating to a certain amount, your estate plan, making sure we're doing it with some tax efficiency, whatnot, and then let's check in regularly and let's make sure that this plan's still on track, and that's really what you're paying for. The investments we choose, we tell them, "Look, if you want to go choose your own, you go ahead. You'll just pay us a fee, just like you would your attorney." If you want us to help you manage that a little bit and you want to give us an asset-based management fee, we do it, but it's fee-only, no matter what. And so, we leave it to the client.   So I do think there's some benefit to a good financial advisor, but you have to understand as a client, any financial advisor that's worth their salt wants to do more than just give you ideas for investments.   Speaker 1: And so, let's look at it from that standpoint, Tony, because yeah, Bob sounds like a very smart gentleman, sounds as though he's able to handle things himself just fine, and many people are in that same boat, and that's great if you're thinking about one section of your finances, your money. So I want to look at it from a couple of different places to give Bob some reference. So the questionnaire and the thing you talked about, that's fantastic, helping people break it down. Is it just the portfolio? Because that's what he mentions, the portfolio. Okay, fine, you've got investment skills, you've done well managing your portfolio, but what about all the other pieces, Tony? So the stuff that we talk about here on the show quite often that maybe a lot of DIY people, A, don't consider, or B, really have much knowledge in or even thought about, like estate planning, just that piece of it, or tax efficiency, retirement income, any of those pieces. Wherever you want to go next, just jump in there. But I feel like those are a lot of things you go, whoa, I didn't even think about that.   Tony Mauro: All those things make sense as far as us as advisors being able to help with. And I think a lot of other things too, as far as somebody brings us their portfolio and they're all chest out and pumped up about look how good I did, and we try to run it through some computer models, just to maybe address some of their risks that they didn't think about maybe. It might be they're overly concentrated in a few securities that doesn't really line up with their overall goal or risk assessment. And then, most of the time, the people that do it themselves generally are trying to time markets to an extent.   Speaker 1: Or match the market, right, they're trying-   Tony Mauro: Or match.   Speaker 1: Yeah, I got 22% in the last two years, so I want to make sure I get that 22%, but your risk exposure is awful high.   Tony Mauro: It's awful high. So we always ask them, "In order to get that, what did you have to do, what did you have to risk to get that, and is that really truly what you want?" And then, the other thing is, let's take taxes into that. If you're investing inefficiently, are taxes knocking down your returns? So a lot of it goes into that, especially on the technical side. But let's say he passes all that and he still thinks he's in good shape and we say, "You know what? You are." And then it's up to the client to say, "Am I going to get some real value out of working with this guy or gal?" And hopefully, it's something that they can definitely do and be better off with us than without us.   Speaker 1: Yeah. And as a CPA, I would imagine, Tony, that one of the things, if the DIYers... Again, accumulating your wealth is a little bit easier nowadays, technology is very helpful, there's a lot of just some good stuff out there. Let's be honest, we've had basically a 16-year bull run. Yeah, we've had a couple of blips through the... But we haven't had a prolonged downturn since '08/09, right?   Tony Mauro: Correct.   Speaker 1: Not a long one, no more than a couple of months. The COVID thing was pretty short-lived, it was a little down in 2021, 2020, obviously, shortly there after COVID as well, little blips here and there. But for the most part, we haven't had a prolonged downturn. But let me get back to the CPA point, from a CPA standpoint, if you're doing really well as a DIYer on the accumulation, have you thought about the tax advantages or disadvantages that you're just not aware of? Especially as you get closer to retirement, pulling your money out from what income sources and what that does to your income, and maybe that triggers IRMA, that's another one that people don't think about often. So there's all these little nuances that we're just not normally aware of.   Tony Mauro: Yes, that's true. And I think another big one that we hear a lot of clients talking to us about is they think that they are doing themselves a great favor by, they hear something on TV or the internet and they'll start pulling money out of their IRA and transferring it to a Roth or their 401(k) into the Roth conversion, but what they don't realize is it's much more tax efficient to just fill up your current tax bracket bucket and then postpone the rest until the next year, because you're needlessly costing yourself taxes when you could spread this out a little bit, and sometimes that can add up to large amounts of money.   Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. And we've talked about Roth conversions here, and I think we think they're a good idea, I don't want to speak for you again. But you've got to Roth it correctly, not just wholesale Rothing, but Rothing over time, for example.   Tony Mauro: Over time, yeah. Because I think a lot of people miss, and certainly outside the tax community, the tax efficiencies or inefficiencies that you can do in investing. Now, is it going to kill you? No. But why leave money on the table, so to speak, and give it to the government, when legally you may not have to?   Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. All right, Bob, so here's another thought process for you to go through, to work on. Is this what you want to do in retirement? I think that would be another piece. Or even let me go one more, what about Mrs. Bob? Is this what she wants you to do in retirement, or does she have plans? So I think that's the other thing about the DIY side of things. It's great, we can do a lot of wealth accumulation a lot easier, Tony, than we used to could. But when it gets to the preservation phase, which is retirement, A, it's more complicated, B, do you want to spend your time doing that, or do you want to be with your grandkids and your spouse and fishing and golfing and whatever it is that's on your list?   Tony Mauro: And if you don't like it, and I mean really like it, you're going to end up putting it off, and then you're going to miss some things, both in the accumulation stage and definitely in the distribution stage. That's where, like you said before, it does get tricky, especially as you age. And then, you've got to think about long-term planning and some things there, and of course taking an income and distributing properly. And so, I always say it's two stages in life, like you said, it's accumulation, distribution, and each are vastly different.   Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, totally different animals. And boy, the first time you miss your RMD, you're going to be real mad about that.   Tony Mauro: Real mad about that, and you're going to have to beg the IRS to forgive the penalty.   Speaker 1: Right. One of the other questions that we posed in the earlier podcast this month when we were talking about the business side was the succession plan. So I'll ask Bob, and people like Bob, the same question here, Tony, what is your succession plan? Now, by that, you say, "Well, what do you mean? I don't need a succession plan, I'm my own advisor." Yeah, but you're going to die, we're all going to die, and if you pass away first, which statistically is the case, and again, Mrs. Bob, she might not want to do any of this, she might not have any interest whatsoever, so what is your succession plan for having her taken care of, or vice versa, whatever?   Tony Mauro: Yeah, vice versa. And even if you have this all laid out, whether it's on the computer or a life book, she may not have the same enthusiasm that you do with this and it's going to be difficult for her. I've had clients with this, the husband dies, the husband did it all. Most of the cases, the wife has no idea, not what's going on, but how to manage it and whatnot, nor do they want to. And so, I think that's where an advisor could certainly lend a lot of value in that case as well, and you want to start that relationship before something happens to you preferably, not after.   Speaker 1: Yeah. When you're grieving, it makes it easy to know, hey, when I'm gone, reach out to Tony and his team, they're going to help you.   Tony Mauro: Yeah.   Speaker 1: That kind of thing. Or whoever it might be, but that's the idea. So I'll wrap it up with this. So look, you started off by saying if you're just picking items in your portfolio. And it's still funny, because the term advisor is so loose now across different kinds of fields, many investors believe advisors do just that, Tony, that the only thing that they do is help them pick stocks. And so, what would you say to folks who think, well, I'm going to do it myself because I can pick my own stocks? Because as we've touched on, there's so much more to what you do than just that. But what's your final thoughts?   Tony Mauro: I think my final thoughts there is that I would challenge anybody out there to try to not only match but beat the S&P 500 over long periods of time, and/or match what professional advisors can do. Now, that term is loose,, yes, I'm an advisor, but I'm not an investment advisor out sitting in a mutual fund researching individual stocks and bonds all day.   Speaker 1: Right, not run a broker, right, yeah. And you're not day trading, right?   Tony Mauro: No, we're not doing that. I would challenge you though to see if you can match those things year in, year out, when they're sitting there, who have much more knowledge and access to information than we do as Joe Public. And so, I would say that I don't think you could do it, I really don't, I haven't met anybody yet that can do it over long periods of time. And so, the idea for having someone like us is to keep you on track and get you where you want to go outside of the investment portion of it. If you want to go choose your own investments, again, that's great, but I think you need somebody that deals with the planning portion, day in and day out, to keep you on track.   Speaker 1: Yeah. And think about a company like Vanguard, which is a very low-cost option for people who want to buy and do their own thing, they even talk about the value that advisors bring, they rounded about 3% annually. And they also talk about, from the behavioral analysis side, one of the big pieces that they even talk about that advisors bring to the table with working with folks is that behavioral modification, because we are our own worst enemy.   So Bob might be doing a great job, but what if, all of a sudden, he's been reading a while about some new tech thing or some new cyber coin or whatever, and all of a sudden, you want to risk too much? Having that sounding board is a great idea, not only for Bob, but for Mrs. Bob as well, because it could be like, hey, we're on two different pages when it comes to leaving money to the kids. Bob wants to balance his last check so that him and the Mrs. can spend it all and have a great time, but she wants to leave a bunch to the kids or whatever, or the grandkids. So it's all those other pieces that, I think, having that... Well, Tony, basically that sounding board, sometimes you're like a counselor as well as an advisor.   Tony Mauro: We are, and I can't mention how many times... I like to mention it to the clients who will call up and say, during the good times, "Well, we don't feel like we got as much return as we needed in the previous year," or something. Or the best one is a client or a prospect will say, "Well, I'm going to divide up my between you and another advisor, we're going to see who does the best." And I'd say, "We're not in that game." Not that we're not focused on returns, we are, but I like to tell clients, "Our job is to keep you grounded, especially when the bad news comes out." Because clients, it's inevitable, bad news starts coming out, the markets go down a little bit, they're calling, "Maybe we should go all to cash." And I said, "Based on what? Who said that? And then, when do we get back in? Who's going to tell us, the news?"   And so, just keeping them from blowing themselves up, which they don't really ever see, but I like to sit in the background and say, like you said, "The last, what, 15, 16 years, we kept you in the markets, when many times..." Pick the subject that came out, COVID was the big one, we've got to get out, the markets going to hell and we've got to go all to cash. And it's proven that that didn't need to be the case. We did take a little blip, but they're so far ahead of that now that it's crazy.   Speaker 1: Well, and look at the turmoil that we're in right now too. So we've got a new administration, they're doing things that have never been done before, whatever the side of the aisle you find yourself on, there's a lot... We're $6 trillion in a deficit, that's annual, so we're $35 trillion in debt, but we operate at a $6 trillion annual deficit. You can't run your house that way. If you were running your house, Tony, that every year, you were losing $60,000, let's say, you wouldn't survive real long, unless you're mega, mega rich. And the government's been operating like it's mega, mega rich, and it's not.   However, I digress, point being is that there's a lot of things happening, and the market is reacting fast. There's all this AI stuff, there's this new DeepSeek version of AI from China that says they can do it cheaper and less energy and so on and so forth. Then you've got the fact that tech markets are massively overweighted, and they have been for a number of years. It feels very much like there's a bubble, similar to '08/09 with the housing bubble, and we've got all this stuff happening, and to your point about the markets, people can be edgy and they can be like, "Well, I'm going to panic and jump out." Well, okay, well, if you're 40 years old, that's insane.   Tony Mauro: Yeah, that's absolutely insane.   Speaker 1: Because you've still got plenty of time. And maybe even if you're 55 years old, it's insane. But how do you know if you don't have a plan?   Tony Mauro: Yeah, you don't. I just had a client, he's 55, for example, we've done well, and basically, he watches too much TV. I always get the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up when he's calling, because he's calling now saying, "You know what? I want to be more aggressive. I really think that the markets are going to be booming." I'm like, "What? You're starting to get where I'm thinking maybe we should go a little bit of the opposite, not all, but as you get a little closer to retirement, let's give up some of that risk for more steady returns." And so, it's weird, because when people want to get in, generally, if you ever read anything about it, of course, that's the time to be a little bit spooked. And then, when everybody's euphoria or when the market is tumbling and the blood's in the water, that's obviously when you want to be going like gangbusters and putting money in. But that's short-term stuff. Really, the plan is to stay long-term-focused.   Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a great point. The market's about the longevity in it, not jumping in and out and so on and so forth. And I get that it's been booming for a while and that's very enticing, so all that stuff we talked about, comes back to having that ear to lean into, "Hey, Tony, what do you think about this? Is this a good idea, bad idea? And could my portfolio handle this, or could it handle that?" And so on and so forth. "And what does that do to my retirement?" And so on and so forth. And then, we didn't even touch on long-term care, so that's another whole piece there, Bob.   So again, you may be doing a great job, but it also may be worthwhile to sit down with an advisor and have an hour conversation and say, "Hey, what are some things that could be missing?" To Tony's point, they can walk you through those steps. They can put you through a questionnaire and just see where you're at. You may be doing a great job, in which case, they're going to pat you on the back, shake your hand and send you on your way. But you may be shown some areas where there could be some improvement, or maybe you just, at some point, decide you just don't want to deal with all of it anymore.   Either way, if you've got some questions, you need some help, hopefully you enjoyed the content this week, we certainly appreciate it, reach out to Tony and his team at yourplanningpros.com.

It's Tuesday, February 11th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims killed 16 Christians On Sunday, February 2nd, Fulani Islamic extremists stormed a village in Ebonyi State in southern Nigeria, killing Christians and setting their homes on fire. Tragically, at least 16 Christians connected with The Lord Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry died in the attack, reports International Christian Concern. British farmers protest proposed inheritance tax Hundreds of tractors blocked the road leading to the British Parliament building in London yesterday, reports the BBC. The liberal government announced late last year they would be adding a 20% inheritance tax on agricultural assets including land worth over £1.3 million pounds for the first time. Nigel Farage, a Member of Parliament, spoke to the protesting farmers. FARAGE: “From what I can see, Joe Public is getting behind the concept that the family farm should not be driven out of existence. So politically, I think we can win this. “This inheritance tax, it isn't just the farms that it hits. It's family businesses as well. In fact, inheritance tax, when you think about it, it's on money that we paid tax on already. The whole thing's monstrous. Let's just stand up and say no to death taxes. Full stop. End death taxes. They're wrong. They're immoral at every level.” (cheers, applause) Farmers claim the inheritance tax will drive food prices up and bankrupt some farming families. Job 24:1-3 speaks of this: “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, why do those who know Him see not His days? Some remove landmarks; They seize flocks violently and feed on them; They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; They take the widow's ox as a pledge.” GOP Chair introduced transgendered Rep. as biological man Here in the United States, the acting chair of the House of Representatives, Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois, would not refer to a certain representative of the state of Delaware as a woman. Representative McBride of Delaware is pretending to be a woman — the first transgendered person elected to the U.S. legislative branch.   Listen to the audio for the introduction that occurred last Thursday. MILLER: "The chair recognizes the gentleman from Delaware, Mr. McBride, for five minutes.” McBRIDE: “Thank you, Madam Speaker.  When I was elected, I promised to work with anyone who would help Delaware and Delawarians.” Tim McBride, who once served as President of the student body at American University in D.C., has taken on the name Sarah. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced last November that “transgender women may not use women's restrooms in the Capitol … to include changing rooms and locker rooms.” Philadelphia Eagles coach gave God the glory Head Coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, Nick Siranni, gave thanks to God after his team won the Super Bowl on Sunday.   REPORTER:  “Nick, Super Bowl champions. What does the moment mean?” SIRANNI: “Man, God has blessed us very much. He gave us all the talents to be able to get here. So, first and foremost, thanks to Him. Thank God. Thank You, Jesus.” The Eagles stopped the Kansas City Chiefs, on an attempt to break a Super Bowl record with a three-in-a-row Super Bowl win.   Both quarterbacks in the game, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, are professing Christians. After his 40-22 win over the Chiefs, Hurts told Fox News that “God is good. He's greater than all the highs and the lows.”  Psalm 96:4-5 exhorts us to “Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

FEMA paid $59 million to house illegals in luxury hotels last week Elon Musk posted on X just yesterday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had given over “$59 million to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants” just last week, reports The Epoch Times. Musk called this a violation of law. The U.S. House Budget Committee found that the federal government had spent $88 billion in 2023 taking care of illegal immigrants.  As of May 13th, 2024, the illegal immigrant crisis has racked up costs for federal and state governments of anywhere between $150 billion to $400 billion. Back in 2023, half of New York City's hotel rooms were occupied by illegals, many of whom had been sent to New York City from Texas. Fourth American to receive pig's kidney Surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital have successfully performed the fourth pig kidney transplant in America, reports U.S. News and World Report. Unfortunately, the first two recipients last year did not survive. The third received the genetically edited kidney in November, and the fourth just last week.  It marks a major step in efforts to address a critical nationwide shortage of donor organs. R.I.P. American penny! And finally, the American penny is no more, reports the Associated Press. President Donald Trump has instructed the Treasury Department to cease minting the penny — which most recently has cost 3.7 cents to produce, representing a loss of $85 million per year. Interestingly,  the U.S. Mint made 3.2 billion pennies last year. That's more than half of all the new coins it made in 2024.

As a former multi-time world champion in cyclocross, Erwin is pretty adept at riding off-road on a dropbar bike. It would be fair to say that gravel racing since the arrival of the UCI into the gravel racing scene, has seen stratospheric growth. Today we're going to be chatting to Erwin about the UCI's plans for gravel racing in 2025 and beyond... What's cooking on Gravel Union website:Armchair Adventure - Across the AndesUltra-distance gravel event riders seem to be a different breed to mere mortals, riding incredible distances in short periods of time and surviving on tiny levels of sleep, unimaginable to ‘normal' riders. But is there a point where the safety of riders is being overlooked in the pursuit of ever greater challenges? When he took part in this year's Across Andes, Mark Livesey was pushed to his absolute limit and wonders whether the spirit of gravel is being lost somewhere out there in the wilderness? Gravel Adventure - Canyon's gravel review of 2024It's that time of year where we all probably start thinking about what the future might bring, but also reviewing how this year went. What went well? What do we need to work on? What shall we just gloss over and pretend never happened? It's not just Joe Public who do this of course, the cycling industry having been doing it too. Canyon sent over their version of a “year in gravel” featuring two of their sponsored riders, former Unbound winner Carolin Schiff and ‘the original gravel privateer” Pete Stetina. We've cherry picked some of the highlights from their year to share with you. Armchair Adventure - Getting cross in Antwerp“Do you fancy going to see one of the rounds of the cyclocross world cup later in the year? We could take our gravel bikes and make a long weekend of it?” As a veteran of numerous CX world cup and world championship viewing weekends over the past twenty years, Olly thought he knew how to make a mixed CX/gravel weekend fun. Despite the fact that only one of his regular gravel riding buddies actually ride or race CX, everyone else were keen televised CX racing fans and jumped at the chance to see it in real life. Plans were made, tickets booked and the #fridaygravelgang were soon on their way to Antwerp. Read on to find out how they got on.

Dr. Cruz, how are you? Yeah, I'm very well, very well indeed. Very excited to have this conversation. But first up for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it you could just share a little about yourself, please. Dr Jack Kruse (00:08.76) Pretty good, how about you? Dr Jack Kruse (00:21.976) Yeah, I'm a board certified neurosurgeon in the United States. I have been living in El Salvador for the last four years. When COVID hit, I began to question a lot of the things that were present, and I decided to unretire, go back and do trauma call to see if they were lying to us or not. And I found out that they were. So then I decided to do something about it. and I wound up presenting to the Bukele administration in El Salvador and they shared some of their country-wide data with me and things that they were facing. And they asked me, what did I think was the solution? And I told them, I think you need to have a constitutional amendment put into your constitution so this would never happen again. And I think you need to re-educate some of the people in your health ministry, I think. You need to educate the doctors. You need to tell people the truth. You need to have freedom of the press. You need to embrace freedom. And this was an easy message for Bukele because he gave his people freedom almost as soon as he got elected the first time in 2019, 2020 made Bitcoin legal tender. And that basically returns freedom back to people and their, and their money. So since he did that first, and then he cleaned up the crime problem in the country, fixing the next problem actually was pretty easy. The real hard part, since you're Australian, I can imagine you know this because it's still going on in your country, that you can't get even people to admit that there was a problem with COVID. And if you can't admit there's a problem, you can't solve for X. And that's kind of where we're going. And then after me helping President Bukele, then... Stuart Cooke (01:59.77) Mm-hmm. Dr Jack Kruse (02:16.854) that information started to bleed into Bobby Kennedy's vice presidential candidate, Nicole Shanahan. And then Bobby called me about the law and then they started to use the law in their campaign. And then next year, know, this summer he joins forces with Donald Trump and then Donald Trump has got the message now too. So I would consider myself more of a lethal pathogen for probably the COVID narrative than most other people that you could probably have on. Stuart Cooke (02:45.957) Fantastic, wow, that is quite an introduction. And very interesting times ahead. Let's see what happens. mean, game on. Everything that we've been speaking about in the counterculture world of health, wellness and human performance is about to take centre stage. So really, really interested. So coming from a traditional medicine background into being one of the... one of the leaders in the biohacking and wellness space now. How do you look at traditional medicine right now? Dr Jack Kruse (03:16.664) Traditional medicine is like a sweet on the Titanic. They would like to renovate it and I would like the boat to sink. Why? Because we've gone past the point, you know, it's like a patient with metastatic cancer in just about every Oregon. You know, the time to fix it was to do the prevention earlier, but you have to realize that Stuart Cooke (03:26.829) Right. Dr Jack Kruse (03:42.636) The people that control big pharma really are the bankers. It's a, it's a very big story. And when I mean big, complicated because it's a Leviathan to know where all the missing pieces and parts are, you know, it take a lot longer time than you have allocated to talk to me. But in the last, I would say six months in the United States, I have been doing a ton of podcasts. Why? Because people in the United States, unlike probably Australia, unlike Canada, unlike Europe, they're ready for this discussion about really what happened. And I think, you know, the people in the States voted that way on November 5th, that they were sick and tired of being lied to. And we didn't go down the path that, you know, Canada went, you guys went, Europe went, or even places like South America went. We decided that we're still for the freedom of speech. Stuart Cooke (04:16.12) Hmm. Dr Jack Kruse (04:42.456) And we're still fighting for the truth. We're not going to have digital IDs or we're saying right now that we're not going to have central bank digital coins. But I don't know if that's going to be true or not. I think there may be a path to that because the people that truly control the United States, which are the bankers and the industrial military complex, may have different designs because effectively, you know, what Trump and Bobby Kennedy are bringing to the table right now, really is the vaccine for Big Pharma. It's really the vaccine for the bankers. It's quite a lot to swallow. And like I said, one of my good friends in this story, Kevin McKiernan, who's the person that found SV40 in the jabs, said it's kind of like expecting Trunk and Bobby to go into the Death Star and somehow make Darth Vader nice. I don't know if that's really possible. But I certainly think that it's worth an opportunity to do it. I think other places in the world have actually got collateral effects from COVID. And that's actually what the people who were doing this, the Agenda 201 people, the WEF people, I know there's a lot of people in Australia that are now really fighting hard against this. But you guys already got digital ID. You guys are. are headed towards a CBDC. you know, basically they're interested in making us economic slaves on the plantation. And it's kind of the way in which they've done it is, I'm going to tell you, it's brilliant. It's a brilliant plan. It's been crafted over 120 years and they've done small little changes, insidious changes that you're like, come on, this isn't that bad. But when you add the whole collection up, you know, it's not a good situation. And they've used medical tyranny to pull it off. They've also used financialization, you know, through rehypothecation of money. That's actually the base problem for every country, including my own. And it's actually the base problem that was here in El Salvador. But El Salvador was the one country who started to reverse this trend because during their civil war, Dr Jack Kruse (07:09.292) that the United States CIA effectively started, you know, 30 years ago, they lost their fiat currency called the Cologne and they started to use, you know, U.S. dollars as their economy. So they're completely, you know, dollarized and that creates, you know, a huge problem. when Bukele got in and broke the cycle of corruption that was down here, the first thing he did was, I'm going to give my people a parallel monetary system. that's not tied to the Federal Reserve. And I don't think people like all over the world realize how big a thing that was. And believe it or not, that's actually what got me to come to El Salvador because I realized that this type of maneuver was like what George Washington did for the United States where was, but Kelly was like George Washington on steroids. Why? Most people don't know the history. of the United States well enough, especially you guys, since you're a commonwealth. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison wrote in Federalist Papers before our founding documents were done. They actually had fights with each other and a guy named Alexander Hamilton, which you probably heard. And Jefferson was ardent that the biggest problem with the Bank of England was that their level of usury. and also the way the bank handled business. And he said that no government will ever be successful if you allow the bankers to have this level of control. And Alexander Hamilton took the other side and said, well, that's all well and good, but if you're to create a country like we're trying to do here in the United States, you still have to have a monetary system. right now, going back to the Magna Carta, the Britons have done a pretty good job for about 1,000 years. Why don't we just roll with that until something comes up? And we didn't have a better form of money, you know, at that time. But the funniest part of the story is when Jefferson becomes president after George Washington, his vice president, Aaron Burr, kills Alexander Hamilton in a duel. Like this problem has not gone away in the United States. And I would say to you, it went all the way up into the Bitcoin Nashville event in Dr Jack Kruse (09:29.816) You know, July this year, when you had both Trump and Bobby, when they were both running for president, both of them said that they were about making Bitcoin a reserve currency to back the US dollar, you know, to make it affect how it used to be prior to 1971 when it was backed up by gold. And that's a good step. You know, for me as a Bitcoin maximus, it's not what I want to see. But is that a really positive step? you know, for the United States, yes. If it's a positive stuff for the United States, when we do something, everybody else usually follows. The interesting part is, I don't think Britain is gonna be doing that now because what did they do in their election? They voted for a version of Kamala Harris with a penis. That's called pure scarmor. And generally what the UK does, that's what Canada does, that's what Australia does. And a lot of times the same thing is true with Europe. But this is the first time I can tell you, think, maybe since World War I, when the United States and Britain have gone two different paths. Trump is radically different than King Charles. And in a good way, King Charles is trying to bring the UK and the Commonwealth back to the Dark Ages, medievalism, feudalism, you know, some, I think you guys call it Fabianism, because it's a version of you know, communism, but that's good for a monarchy. And, you know, I'm perfectly fine if the people of Australia, Canada, and the UK are cool with that because, you let's face it, you guys lived with it for a really long time. But that version of bullshit doesn't follow in the United States. Remember, we are the misfits that told the king to kiss our ass in 1774. So I can tell you that I am the latest iteration of that asshole. in 2024 because I don't want any part of what England's doing. I don't want any part of what Australia is doing. I don't want any part of what Canada is doing. I like our founding documents. And this was the case that I made to Bukele in his basement. I actually had to teach him the story that Jefferson went through with a guy named Benjamin Rush. The only remnants that you'll ever hear about Benjamin Rush from anybody else, he was a Dr Jack Kruse (11:57.706) a doctor and a politician who is originally British. You know, he was born in the States, but he had lots of ties to England because remember, we're effectively British just like you guys are in the States. And what Benjamin said that we needed to put a constitutional amendment in our founding documents and the founding fathers who are writing these papers, they went back for 5,000 years and couldn't find anything in human history where Medical Tierney was the attack vector to take a government down and apart. And Jefferson told him, he says, look, I think it's a good idea, but I just don't think that we can do this and do it well because it's going to slow our process down. And there was a lot of different things that went back and forth if you read the Federalist Papers. But I told Bukele the story, and that's when Bukele said to me, so you think that's the best plan of attack? I said, yeah, it is. Because if you try to use lawfare, like having lawyers go after Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca. That's gonna be a giant shit show, especially in the United States. And the reason why is most people don't know this, and I know you guys are just waking up to this, but who is the distributor of the jab? It's the Department of Defense in the United States government. It wasn't Big Pharma. Big Pharma acted like the local street dealers that sell cocaine on the streets. The guy who is the big cartel in Columbia selling the jab is the Department of Defense. This came directly from a bio weapons program that I laid out on some of the podcasts that I had told you about earlier. The specific one is the Danny Jones podcast where I really let it all hang out. And when you find out that the original SV-40 problem showed up in 1951 through 1957 in the polio jabs by Salk, And now we have proof positive that they're present in the jab. 75 years later, you gotta ask yourself a question unless you're completely brain dead. How does, how does SV 40 wind up in the first generation of the polio vaccine and now in these brand new, supposedly cutting edge vaccines? Well, the reason why is because the program isn't what it was designed to be. It was a bio weapon that they decided to use at Dr Jack Kruse (14:24.704) a specific time to actually try to slow Trump down and get him out of office. And it was successful. And in the United States, the real big issue that happened was not only did they get Trump out, they were trying to manufacture, you know, falsified election. That's what January 6th, you know, 2020 was all about. Everybody thought that these people were trying to overthrow the government, but it was actually the opposite. The government certified a falsified election. And we now know that. If I would have told you that three or four years ago, I probably would have the FBI and CIA knocking on my door. But now we now know that things were falsified in Arizona. We know that they were falsified in Pennsylvania. We know that it were falsified here and there. But it's four years later. You can't change history once the government certifies the election on January 6th. They try to pin this insurrection on Trump, which was an absolute joke, but believe it or not, they've thrown a lot of Americans in jail over this issue. Like I know you guys in Australia, Europe, and Canada, you guys actually really bought the story hook, line, and sinker that these people were truly crazy and they were trying to overthrow their government. They were let in by the government. This was a government PsyOps. And it fits now with the narrative that we see with the aftermarket data for the four years of COVID. We are the people for the rest of the world now overturning and putting Windex on all your glass eyes just how bad this really was. So I told people early on, this is before the jabs even were coming out, I looked at the patents of Moderna and Pfizer and I noticed something very interesting, that there was two legal definitions in the Pfizer patent, one for BioNTech and another one for Pfizer. And I just looked at it and I said, this doesn't make sense to me. My initial gut feeling was that they were going to present one to the FDA and then they were going to use one that they were going to mass produce. So that way the FDA wouldn't have all the true data. And since vaccines are protected in this 1986 law, that's horrible that we have, they could unleash this as a giant experiment. Dr Jack Kruse (16:47.5) to get the jab out. I told people, I did a documentary with Robert Malone and Robert McCullough, who are two doctors here in the States that you probably have heard of. And that had to be behind a paywall because you can imagine at that time, the things that we were saying were pretty controversial. Now I was the least controversial person in the movie. Why? Because I didn't really talk too much about medicine. I talked about these two legal definitions at length. And why was I doing that? Because I knew the story in detail more than anybody knew that I knew. Now people know it because I unleashed that story on the Danny Jones podcast. And I felt that they were going to put SV40 in one of the jabs. Why? Because their development team at Pfizer wasn't as advanced as Moderna. Moderna was using an E. coli vector, which I could see in the patents. made sense to me. you know what they were doing. I still thought it was a bad idea because it didn't have any proper safety testing. But I didn't have as big a problem with Moderna as I did with the Pfizer thing. And that's what I said in the documentary. So here we go till 2022 and all of a sudden, this guy, Kevin McKiernan, for those of you in Australia who don't know him, you need to know him. In fact, he just came out on the Danny Jones podcast because I hooked him up with Danny Jones to get his end of the story down because the aftermarket data we have now is even more devastating, probably even more devastating than you know in Australia because something just got published that he did, which we'll talk a little bit about. Kevin got two vials of Pfizer jabs from two lots, tested them in 2022 and found out that the SV40 promoter was in it. He published that information on Twitter. And of course you can only imagine what happened on Twitter at that time. everything exploded, everybody that was on the opposite side, the Biden and Kamala Harris side, the Operation Warp Speed people, the big pharma, they're like, this guy's full of shit, we don't believe him. It got so bad that one of the molecular virologists who is part of the evil empire, or the dark star as we talked about before, he said, I'm gonna prove him wrong, I'm gonna do the test myself. His name's Philip Buchholz, he's at the University of South Carolina, very accomplished. Dr Jack Kruse (19:16.856) virologist who works and has lots of grants with the federal government. Lo and behold, guess what he found? He didn't prove Kevin wrong, he proved Kevin right. And to his credit, to his credit, I have to give him a lot of credit here, he immediately went to the state Senate in South Carolina and actually told the senators that this is a huge problem. Why? Because now we have to start to question other things that potentially could be going on. Because at that time, The initial pulse in the aftermarket data is that I think everybody everywhere in the world knew about the myocarditis story. We knew about the clotting story, but we had just started to see there were several people with several locks that were getting cancers who had no history of cancer at all. And they were getting not minor cancers. These were stage three and stage four cancers in very young fit people. Remember, we were all told the lie that all the fatties were going to die. And it turned out that also was a lie early on. The fatties weren't the ones dying even in the hospital. The people who are dying are the people who getting Tony Fauci's drugs and the people who got intubated. It actually was the hospital algorithmic medicine treatment, you know, that the people in big tech and what we call HARPA, which is a version of DARPA, those are the people that are Silicon Valley connected healthcare folks. came up with these algorithms to treat people with and it became obvious something was going on. So you remember when we started this podcast, I told you I was effectively retired. And when I started hearing all this story, you can only imagine Uncle Jack said, I'm going to check into this bullshit big time. So what did I do? I go back and start volunteering to do a week of trauma call and I'm spending time in the ERs and spending time in the ICUs because that's what neurosurgeons do. So I got to see the sickest of the sick. Stuart Cooke (20:55.641) Mm. Dr Jack Kruse (21:15.352) And lo and behold, what did I find over two years between actually two and a half years, 2021 through 2024? I was averaging 13 clots and at least eight to 10 cancers in a week that would show up in the hospital. And most of those were in vaccinated people. The most amazing part of my observations is that there was no unvaccinated people. that were afflicted by these problems. Like people who just had regular COVID, this truly was like the cold or the flu. And these people never sought care in the ICUs. They came to the ERs, but the ERs would send them out. They wouldn't do anything with them. The people that got admitted, they got put on these algorithms that the hospitals did. And it turned out the hospitals were incentivized by CMS is the government version of healthcare that pays for things and the government would pay for things that they wanted done. They wouldn't pay for the things that shouldn't get done. That's where you heard nobody would let us use hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin. They wouldn't let us use methylene blue. They wouldn't let us use vitamin D. And it turned out all those things for the people that were in the ER that went home, they did really well. In fact, that's actually what Bukele found. Bukele found within two months of doing the jobs, they started to notice a problem. So what did he do? Even through his own Twitter feed, started telling people, we're going to give you little bags of goodies in it that had a lot of these off-label medications. And they didn't have a huge problem. It turned out the people that got admitted and wound up having to go into the ICU who were getting drugs they shouldn't have gotten and got intubated, those are the people that died. And the story continued to get worse. Why? Because we started to see the pulse of the serious stuff, meaning these turbo cancers, the spike in the data went straight up. And for you guys in Australia who don't know this, there's a guy on Twitter that you should follow. His name is the Ethical Skeptic, at Ethical Skeptic. And he is a former Navy intelligence officer in the United States. What did he start doing? Dr Jack Kruse (23:40.856) He's good with numbers. So he started to post many different things and to show how the CDC, the FDA, and everybody was lying through these numbers. And when I saw this, plus I had my observations of being in the hospital, that's part of the reason when Bukele tapped me in 2023 to write this law. I said, you can't fix this problem in the United States with lawfare. And that's when I found out that El Salvador had assigned these special agreements with the drug manufacturers because guess what? El Salvador doesn't have a 1996 vaccine protection law. Turns out Australia doesn't either. Neither does Europe. Neither does Canada. So guess what? This should tell all of you in those countries that the politicians who were in charge at that time, they signed those documents with them. That means they're all technically a path, a legal path in your country to actually go after them soon. But this is only if the politicians aren't crooked. And it turns out in Australia, we found out they're as crooked as all get out. know, the chick that was in charge of New South Wales, she was being paid off by Fisler. We know that. So, and we also know how serious the lockdown effect was, you know, in Canada and Australia. I think you guys probably had it way worse than we did because remember, as Americans, we didn't put up with too much. And I can tell you what I did. I closed my clinic in Louisiana and moved to Florida where DeSantis was. It was business as usual. I was on the beach the whole time, you know, during COVID. And we didn't give a shit. We actually laughed at you guys. And here I was getting on planes and going to states where the COVID situation was bad. And I was actually able to go see what was happening in different areas. And of course, then I started talking to other doctors in the United States to see what their experience was. And what I found out is the zip code of where people were linked to the ideology and the politics of a specific policy. And it was much worse when you were around people who were, how shall we say, left-wing progressives, where they were taking freedom away much faster, kind of like King Charles. Dr Jack Kruse (26:02.316) you know, has advocated through his, you know, good friendship with Klaus Schott. Like, you know, his famous saying is, you'll own nothing but yet be happy about it kind of stance. You know, that's kind of what the Mararkey was all about for a long period of time. And I noticed that the states that had politicians that are in power like that had the worst outcomes. And it turned out places that should have been bad, like for example, One of the things that I did very early is I started to look at data in Africa. Nobody in Africa was getting any problems from this, even though the vaccines were given to them just about for free. But nobody took them because nobody got sick. And it turned out the ethical skeptic started showing that there was a lot of people in Equatorial Africa that were already immune to the virus. Why? Because that was proof positive the virus had gotten out earlier than anybody said. That's when I realized that we were in a giant PsyOps. This was a bioweapons program gone wrong through a lab leak in Wuhan. And we knew the link in the States because we know the story of Fauci. We know why he had to go offshore because of 9-11, because of the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act has a provision in it that we're not allowed to do gain-of-function study in the United States. If you do, it's punishable by treason. So why did the Department of Defense decide to give Anthony Fauci a 67 % raise a long time ago? Because he moved the bioweapons lab to both Wuhan and the Ukraine. Maybe that'll tell you why we have a Ukraine war going on as well, because we're protecting something that we don't want anybody else to know about. And all of this stuff starts to come free through Freedom of Information Acts. And we start to find out that his links are to this cat in a place called EcoHealth Alliance. That's the guy that basically creates all the gain and function studies that get shipped over to the bioweapons lab. Then all of a sudden the story makes sense. The aftermarket data continues in 23 and 24. And it's very clear now when you look at it that we have huge problems not only with clotting and that's with certain jabs. Like all the jabs have different Dr Jack Kruse (28:26.55) diseases associated with them. And we now know through Kevin McKiernan's work, because he's kept on this, when the turbo cancer data came up, he went to Germany and found someone who got four injections, four jabs, patient got colon cancer, the patient decided to have a biopsy done. Kevin was able to sequence the first tumor, then he did another biopsy a week later. and then he did a postmortem biopsy. And what he was looking for was the sequence in the spike protein, the sequence in the cancer, was there intercalation of the plasmid from, you know, Pfizer in the tumor itself? In other words, are you a GMO person if you took this jab? And it turned out without a doubt you are. So that proved what Philip Buchholz was really concerned about when he went to talk to the centers in South Carolina. because frame shift mutations are one cause of cancer. But the other big one is could these little plasmids that are in these jabs also show up? This made Kevin go look further. And then he found out that every single jab you get, there's 60 billion copies of DNA plasmids in each one. That's common to all the messenger RNA. See, SV40 is only in the Pfizer one. But it turns out, is there another nuclear bomb? with the other Jabs and it is, it's that there's DNA plasmids all in there. How did many of the manufacturers hide the level of plasmids in there? They made sure that they put aluminum in their Jabs. Why? Because it turns out aluminum, they'll tell you it's an adjuvant, but it's really an agglutination effect that decreases the number of plasmids so you can get it through, you know, a regulator, which in our country is the FDA and I know in your country has a different name. And I know they're under fire right now too. for some of the stuff that's going on in Australia. But this is how it went down. And this is exactly how they got the Gardasil vaccine approved in the United States as well. It was through this aluminum effect. So the question immediately came up, you know, for guys like me and Kevin, who started to communicate and also communicate with the ethical skeptic and many other researchers in the world. We're talking about Jay Badachari, Martin Kulldorf. We've all started chatting. Dr Jack Kruse (30:52.652) you know, and had our private conversations because we put this together better than the FDA, CDC, and the people in Washington, DC. We figured out the scam very, very quickly. And we started to say, these are the things that we need to start testing and looking for. We now know that in the spike protein of these German cancer patients who had colon cancer, there's sequences in there. that are not attributable to the Pfizer vaccine. So you know what that means? It means one of two things. That means this came from somewhere else, another vector, like it's out there running around, or it came from the people who manufactured the vaccine in there, meaning that this can go through jump conduction. That's a really big problem because that means that now we have a new problem to worry about. This is the latest data I'm bringing to you. It's only two weeks old. Okay, no one's talking about this. Like in the gain of function world, nobody knows what I'm telling you right now. I know nobody in Australia knows this. I imagine when you put this out, people's heads are gonna explode. But I can tell you that Kevin McKiernan just talked about this live on Danny Jones, which is the reason why I told Danny Jones to get Kevin on. podcast because this is information that you're never going to get from the Department of Defense. You're never going to get from the CDC. You're never going to get it from the FDA. Why? Because this directly exposes the fraud and the problems that were present. And not only that, this now takes this vaccine story to a true next level. This means people who took the jab, not only they potentially genetically modified humans, but they may be the source of many future pandemics down the road. And the diseases they get, this is the thing we don't know. This is the next level testing. We need to test every lot in every jab to see what the effect is because what we believe now is that people are gonna get. Dr Jack Kruse (33:16.562) certain diseases from different companies and different lots within those companies. So this is the reason why in the United States we see certain lots associated with turbo cancers. This is why we see certain lots associated with clotting. This is why we see certain lots associated with myocarditis. And this is the reason why we see people getting rhabdomyolysis. And we're starting to see another pulse now with people getting really nasty diseases. called prion diseases, those are diseases neurosurgeons deal with, that's diseases like Jakob-Kreutzfeld disease or amyloidosis, okay? And autoimmune conditions. And the autoimmune conditions have really spiked up. We're starting to see a lot of cases of very unusual type one diabetes in people who shouldn't have it. And we're also starting to see some very unusual. cases of neuroendocrine tumors and guts that normally we wouldn't see that are usually associated with people that have bad diabetes over a period of time. And we're also starting to see neurodegeneration happen at very rapid rates, meaning generally when someone gets diagnosed with a dementia, whether it's frontal temporal dysplasia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, any disease like that usually has a prodrome that takes, you know, a couple of decades to go. These people are getting going from like mild cognitive delay to serious neurodegeneration. Many of the stories that you you hear in Australia, Canada, Europe, where people call it long COVID, it doesn't stay long COVID forever. Certain people get it, certain people don't. Our belief right now has to do with the changes in the lots that are there. So that means we need to start testing every single lot that's out there. Do you think that that kind of issue is gonna happen in the United States where big pharma sits at the Cantillon effect? The answer is no. In fact, here's the real joke of the situation. Big pharma, those medicines haven't even withdrawn from the market here yet. At least, you know, the crown got rid of the AstraZeneca one. There was enough for NHS to say, okay, enough of this shit. Dr Jack Kruse (35:38.672) And Johnson & Johnson in the United States was really smart because they pulled their drug off the market themselves. I think they realized that this is a can of worms that nobody really wants to go through. And Johnson & Johnson has a very different vaccine than everybody else. They used an adenovector virus. They're not polluted with a lot of the same things that Pfizer and Moderna are. But Pfizer's risk right now, in my opinion, off the chain. I really think that while we may not be able to get them by lawfare in the United States, even by some of the things that Bobby Kennedy will probably do in HHS, because of the vaccine law, because of the Dole Buy Act, which you may not know about, but that allowed guys like Fauci to profit off of taxpayer funded research, that's actually the incentive that dictate the outcome why Fauci Stuart Cooke (36:15.822) Hmm. Dr Jack Kruse (36:37.794) you know, was so incentivized to work with gain-of-function people and move it offshore because he made a lot of money. And we now know about a year ago, we found out that he got $440 million in royalties through the NIH and CDC. That money was then redeployed to other scientists that supported his criminality. So you can see that this is a giant conspiracy and we have a law that actually Bobby Kennedy's father was important in writing. It's called the RICO statute. And when Bobby Kennedy Sr. was our attorney general when his brother was president before the government killed him, he's the one that came up with the RICO statute. It turns out, even with this 1986 law that's on the books in the states with the Bayh-Dole Act, there's no protection for these people from a RICO case. So guess what may happen? What may happen? And I think this is where Bobby's going to go in HHS. And this is the reason why I think he's going to have a really tough confirmation process in the United States, even though the Senate is now, you know, weighted to the Republicans. You have to realize in the United States, there's a uniparty problem, meaning the DNC and the RNC has a lot of people that are being paid off by Big Pharma, kind of like what I told you happened in New South Wales. And I'm sure there's many people. and many politicians in Australia, Canada, and Europe, who often has been paid off. We'll find out about this eventually, but that's not my current focus. My current focus really is what can we do to help these people that have been harmed by the vaccine? And that's really my focus, you know, in the future, because I'm the guy that understands the interplay between the nuclear genome and the mitochondrial genome. And that's what decentralized medicine really focuses in on. And you have to realize Stuart that the system that you have in Australia, the system they have in Canada and the system in the UK and in the United States is centralized, meaning that no one will ever get to the point that these people are going to need who've been harmed by this bio weapon. And while I would love to jump into the fray on the medical legal side of things, that's not Uncle Jack's expertise. My expertise is understanding how do we keep Dr Jack Kruse (39:04.098) the genetically modified people in the world, how do we silence that DNA? There's no way we're gonna be able to get it out of our DNA. Like a lot of people are gonna tell you you can detox from it. That is absolute pure insanity. That's the kind of thinking that comes from not understanding truly the science behind it. That's what Kevin McKiernan is really good at explaining. So my goal is to teach people the science that I've been developing over 20 years so we can help people. Now, do I think we're going to come up with new treatments down the road? Yes. So what would I like to maybe end this so you can ask me your next question? It's this is going to be much like the AIDS virus. When AIDS came out, it was a death sentence for everybody who got it. And then magically, slowly over time, We did come up with something called protease inhibitors that actually has now made, you know, AIDS almost a non-issue for most people. But the problem is we had 20 years, 25 years of people dying from it before we came up with the answer. I think that we have a duty as decentralized clinicians to help the people in that 25 year span that's gonna happen between now and then. So that really is my focus. And I think The focus that I brought to the table, at least in the United States, the last 12 months is I went from being apolitical to political. Why? Because I believe this story needs to get out. I believe people like you in Australia, the people in the UK and the people in Canada need to know the truth from the United States because guess what? We made you sick and you bought our bullshit story, hook line and sinker. So I believe that my government has a duty to all of you to tell you the truth. And since my government is not telling you the truth, I'm going to come on podcasts and I'm going to fucking light their house on fire. Stuart Cooke (41:08.482) Boy boy boy. So much to unpack and I think we'll get lots of people scrabbling for the show notes as well to cut and paste names into browsers and to follow this path a little bit further. I just want to share a little bit of a story that happened to me last night in as much as I have had internet problems at home and I'm looking for a new internet service provider and I actually signed up with the same one again but for a faster plan and I had to go through and enter credit card details and give them all of my details. And right at the very end of the conversation with the agent on the phone, she said, I'm gonna send you a link and this link will be for you just to finalise your digital ID. And I said, I'm not sure what you mean. I was expecting to give you my bank. my bank details and my personal details, et cetera. And she said, no, no, you need to take a picture of yourself on your mobile phone. You need to scan some documents, your driver's license, your Medicare number, and that will play a part of your digital ID. And I said, well, no, I'm not very comfortable with that. I don't want to do it. So I think I'll just end. I'll end this. Don't worry about that at all. And she rushed off and went to her manager and came back and said, Well, you don't actually have to give us your digital ID right now. You can go into the store afterwards. And I said, well, I don't want to go into the store afterwards. I'm not very comfortable with me giving you my details and building up a digital profile. I'm not going to do that. Does that mean I won't be able to access the service? And she said, no, no. You will be able to access the service. Perhaps you can do it in the future if you like. So hence, I have my new internet plan, at least I will do at the end of the week. I don't have a digital ID. But that's just an example of a curveball that's thrown out perhaps to me as an unsuspecting and law-abiding citizen as part of the plan that I'm sure will develop into something much bigger down the line. So my question to you is that if we've been following the advice of the government and all the powers that be, and we're guided to what we put in our mouths, which typically will be... Stuart Cooke (43:15.713) a low-fat diet, lots of healthy whole grains. We go out into the sunshine. We're taught in Australia to slip, slap, slop, so hatch, sunscreen, avoid the sun at all costs. And now we seem to be in a little bit of a mess where we are getting sicker, we're getting fatter, children have diabetes, obesity, every autoimmune condition. Dr Jack Kruse (43:38.456) You also have the highest skin cancer rate in the world, just so you know that. No, it's not bizarre to me. It makes total sense to me. It's bizarre to you guys. Turns out the sun doesn't give you cancer. It's all the artificial light around you that does. Stuart Cooke (43:42.357) It's bizarre, isn't it? Stuart Cooke (43:49.72) But what if... Stuart Cooke (43:54.446) Well, I'm a British citizen, so I've lived for 21 years of my life under doom and gloom. So there was no sun. You may get a week in the summer, of which we called our heat wave. But now living in Australia, And I've been in this health and wellness sphere for best part of a decade and a half, doing the complete opposite of what I've been told, in terms of what I'm eating and how I'm exposing myself to the sun. I'm drawn to it like a magnet every day and we get plenty of it. No burns, nothing of any of that sort. I've managed to dodge the medical system for best part of 25 years. I've only been into the doctors to get tests that I've wanted to, bloods and things like that. So my question to you is, It seems almost impossible for Joe Public to be able to even conceptualise doing the right thing because they think they're doing the right thing, because they're following all the roles that we are told that the science and the doctors and the powers that they tell us to do. So where do we go? Dr Jack Kruse (44:58.25) everything they say you do the opposite. If you go and look at my Twitter, what does it say in the little circle? Do not comply. And I got news for you. Every, I famously said this to Rick Rubin and Andrew Uberman on a Tetragrammaton podcast that 99.9 % of things that I learned in medical school and residency are pretty much wrong. And there's a lot of reasons why they're wrong. Stuart Cooke (45:00.279) Yeah. Yeah. Stuart Cooke (45:06.202) Yeah. Stuart Cooke (45:15.673) Hmm. Dr Jack Kruse (45:28.002) But you have to realize that incentives dictate outcomes. The reason why you're told to do many of these things, like I've said this in the United States, I haven't said it too much in Australia, but I'll say it to you. Ask yourself this question, why do Bill Gates, ophthalmologist and dermatologist all want to block the sun? Because it's a great business model for them to be profitable. That's exactly the answer. And it turns out if you are not a dumbass Australian, Stuart Cooke (45:51.416) Yeah. Dr Jack Kruse (45:56.554) and you go out to the bush and you see, you know, the kangaroos running around and you see the birds out there. Notice they don't have sunglasses and sunscreen on, right? They go under a tree. mean, the kangaroos really smart. They actually lick their arms to cool themselves off. But they don't, they don't run away from the sun. And the interesting thing is even when you're under a tree, you still have all the light around you. problem is most people in Australia now they go inside under these fake lights and you don't realize it turns out there's no light controls in any of the dermatologist studies. Like for example, when a dermatologist tells you that UV light causes cancer, you're actually allowed to believe that. You know why? You have a duty that the doctor didn't tell you that the study was done with UV light by itself. Let me ask you this question. Does UV light ever show up from the sun by itself? Or does it have six other colors with it? Turns out it's got six other colors. And you told me you're a British guy, so you know the whole famous story about Newton and the prism, right? He's the guy that created the Pink Floyd album cover so that everybody knows there's seven colors from the sun. Well, it turns out, if you take UV light by itself, yeah, that's a problem. That's what the dermatologists hitched their wagon to. But here's the thing. They didn't tell you that red light is the antidote to purple and to blue. Stuart Cooke (47:08.216) That's right. Dr Jack Kruse (47:22.488) And here's the funny part. Anytime the sun's up, anytime the sun sets, red light's always present. And guess what? It's the most dominant part of the solar spectrum, of terrestrial sunlight. 43 % is infrared A or near infrared light. So when you begin to realize that nature has got the antidote for you and you have a government or a doctor or Bill Gates telling you... No, no, no, we want to geoengineer our skies, want to geoengineer your eyes, and we want to geoengineer your skin. It shouldn't be shocking to you why they're telling you to do it. But I would fully agree with you. When I've been to Australia, I look at them and I think they are the dumbest asses in the world to not figure this out. Why? Because even in the dermatologist's literature that's published in Australia, it shows people that have all the skin cancers have the lowest vitamin D level. If they dermatologists are right, it should be exactly the opposite. People that have the highest vitamin D levels, because you can only make vitamin D from UVB light, right? You know that. They should be the ones that have all the skin cancer. And it turns out every single paper that looks at this shows the lower your vitamin D is, the worse your skin cancer is. How do you like that? So when you think about that and you're wearing sunglasses and slip slather and... Stuart Cooke (48:27.812) Mm-hmm. Stuart Cooke (48:41.262) Yeah. Dr Jack Kruse (48:45.91) all that other bullshit's on the side of your buses. It's no shock to me, actually the reason why you guys have that, but it's also the reason why you were very compliant with the government. Because guess what? What's the part of the story that no one in Australia has heard yet? It's what I talked to Danny Jones about. Turns out when you block the sun, you change the orbital frontal gyrus in your brain, dopamine levels drop, and you become more suggestible. That is a program that started back in the United States, but really started in Nazi Germany called MKUltra. Then MKUltra was graduated to the Stanford Research Institute. Then it was graduated to the Brain Health Initiative. In other words, this is how the bioweapons program in DARPA, part of the DOD that also made the jab, how this all links together. And when you begin to realize that these ideas that you have in Australian medicine actually link to why you guys all rolled up your sleeves and took the visor jab, then you begin to understand why Uncle Jack, know, 20, 25 years ago, everybody thought I was a crazy sob on the internet. I got news to you. It's amazing to me how less crazy I've gotten and how brilliant everybody thinks I am in the last four years because guess what? Just about everything I told people was coming, came and it happened. And right now, Uncle Jack's not just talking to Stuart. Cook on the internet. He's talking to Bukele. He's talking to Nicole Shanahan. He's talking to Bobby Kennedy. And he's talking to Donald Trump. I'm also talking to people in different states about taking this law and putting on the books. Why? Because through the lawfare that's happened with Big Pharma, we've created a big mess in the United States. And as I told you before about going into the Death Star in the Pentagon or Washington, DC, I don't believe that Trump and Bobby are going to be able to fix all the problems. Like, I know that most of you guys in the free world now are hoping that Trump and Bobby can do a lot so that that tsunami wave will come to Australia, come to UK, come to Europe and come to Canada to try to help you. I'm going to be, I'm probably going to be the bearer of bad news to you, my friend. I don't think that's going to happen. And I think Bobby is going to be hamstrung by Dr Jack Kruse (51:14.258) some of the powers that be that are linked to the bankers and Big Pharma. And we probably don't have a long enough podcast for me to explain how all these things link, but I can promise you that Big Pharma was the reason why the First Amendment was destroyed in the United States. Why? Because the money that they were able to use, were, Obama changed the law in the United States. It used to be against the law to actually have Big Pharma ads on TV. He changed that. It's called the month act and it was changed I believe in 2008. Soon as they were able to do that, what did that do? Pharma started paying for all the ads on news media and that means the news media was incentivized to tell the propaganda story of Big Pharma on there. And if they didn't, they would just defund them and not pay him. So it turns out all the news anchors and everybody on those places, they all became shills for Big Pharma. In other words, they were just like the drug dealers on the street for the Colombian drug cartel. That's exactly what happened. And this slowly happened from 2008 to 2024. So now when you put on like Fox News or ABC or NBC in United States, all you see is stuff for this drug, that drug, the other drug, you don't see like, you know, advertisements for kiddie food, because kiddie food can't pay their salaries. Okay. But Big Pharma can. And this is why I don't think you guys, you know, across the pond. Stuart Cooke (52:34.593) You Dr Jack Kruse (52:42.124) really understood how important Elon Musk was for the political process in the United States. Why? Because when he bought Twitter from Jack Dorsey, that actually, remember the first thing he did, he got rid of advertising, right? The advertisers all boycotted him. That was the biggest mistake ever because then Twitter or X, however you want to call it, became truly the town square in the United States. That's where people who were canceled under the previous regime, actually got a voice back. And unfortunately, I've told people this and I don't think you know this and probably the people in Australia do. I was one of the few doctors that weren't canceled on Twitter. Why? Because Jack Dorsey was one of my friends and one of my patients. He followed all of my stiff. Why? Because he was a big technologist. You know that he owned Twitter from the beginning and he got sick from his own tech and he came to me to get better. This is the reason why he lives now in a place with a lot of sun. and he does many of the things that Stuart, you do, and you understand the reason why, but what most of you don't understand in Australia and I think UK and Canada, and this is important for you here, this is gonna be a tough swallow for you. If you go look at the last Jason Bourne movie that was made in 2016, do you know why that Hollywood, the Harvey Weinstein and his friends made that movie? That was a direct threat. to Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg, either you're gonna play ball with us or we're gonna kill you. So guess what? Go look at the storyline. I'm telling you, I knew that. And how can I tell you that I knew? At the Bitcoin Miami event in 2021, Dorsey came to meet with some of my VIPs and told us then that he was gonna sell Twitter. Why? Because at that time he was getting called up in front of Congress all the time and they were talking about section 230 and all this and that. And he said, look, I'm done playing ball with these assholes. you look at just what happened in the United States, did you hear Jack Dorsey say anything about Kamala or Trump? No, he was totally out the mix. He washed his hands of all that. But guess what? Elon Musk knew everything directly from Dorsey. See, many people think Jack's a bad dude. He wasn't a bad dude. Remember, he's 100 % Bitcoin maxi. He's just like what I told you about Boo Kelly in the beginning of this. Dr Jack Kruse (55:07.532) He believes in freedom of money and he realized that Twitter was a bad experiment gone wrong because his board was filled with all those assholes from Silicon Valley that I told you were behind the jab. Those were all the bankers that were tied to this. Like A16Z, these guys are the worst of America. Like we create really amazing products, but you have to realize there's a dystopian side of this side of business. Stuart Cooke (55:20.185) Hmm. Dr Jack Kruse (55:37.66) And this was really why I give Elon a lot of credit, because there's a lot of things about Elon I don't like. I don't like Neuralink. I don't like Starlink. I don't like being controlled from above, because I think DARPA is going to use that technology to do that to all of us eventually. They just haven't got to that point in the game yet. But what Elon did is he gave Americans that had different ideas the opportunity to speak. And I can tell you that's the reason why the election went the way it went. I got news for you guys in Australia think that this was a landslide. I think it was even bigger than that. Why? Because we know that the Democrats did a ton of cheating and even with their cheating they couldn't overcome this because guess what? Americans are truly fed up with what went on. Like you guys think you're a little bit mad? Dude, you have no idea how pissed off. people are here because we understand the scale. And most people are waking up to the stuff that I shared with you here about SV40 and the DNA plasmids and the 60 billion per shot. Dude, that's not even why Trump really won. He won because of all the shit with inflation, the open borders, and the global socialism that the people who are behind the jab, the people in the Department of Defense, they're all in cahoots with each other. That's the stuff that you're dealing with right now with the world economic forum and the people that are in charge in Australia. All of these people got their marching orders from King Charles. Remember, King Charles has been, when he was the prince, he was up Klaus Schwab's ass from almost 50 years ago. And who was their best friend in the United States? Henry Kissinger. He's another guy that's tied to the Council of Foreign Relations. How far does this go back? mean, look, you're a UK guy. You remember the whole story about the Pilgrim Society and the Rhodes Scholars. This all was stuff that came out after Queen Victoria died and the new monarch came in, which was King George, who was Queen Elizabeth's grandfather. His brother, you know this story very well. His brother, Edward VIII, abdicated because everybody wanted to talk about Wallace Simpson. No, he abdicated because the royal family Dr Jack Kruse (58:02.156) was part of propping up Hitler with their bankers, the Rothschilds. And we now know that. It's very obvious. And that's the reason why the king really had to step down. It got so bad in World War I that the king had to change their name from Saxe, Coburn, Gotha to Windsor. They took it off a castle. Wasn't even, you know, didn't even think about it good. And why did they do that? They had to do that because one of the guys from Russia, who took over their land, shot and killed the Romanovs, which was the cousin of the king in England, also the cousin of Wilhelm in Germany. Well, they didn't plan on that. They didn't plan on killing him. But we now know that the Rothschild bankers at the time were the ones with the king that wanted the Romanovs put in jail in Siberia. Why? Because people always forget this. This Bolshevik revolution happens in the middle of World War I. It's the craziest thing ever that you can have a revolution in a royal family and they were worried. But it turned out one of the guys of the three in Russia, that's Trotsky. Trotsky is the one that made the decision to kill the Romanovs. Guess what? Lenin and Stalin didn't want that to happen. They knew that that was going to create a huge problem down the road. When you think about this as a Briton now, now I'm talking to you as a Brit and not as an Australian. Remember what the British Empire is all about. They're all about that imperialism and you are part of the Commonwealth. Well, in one stroke, you lost Russia. You lost the United States in 1774. So what was really World War II all about? It was about setting up a bad deal for the Germans in the Treaty of Versailles so you can guarantee a second world war. That's really what happens. Why? Because the king wanted to bring the United States and Russia back into a war so they could regain a loyal title. And let me just tell you something. There's one thing you're going to learn about the royal family from this midfit who came from you in England, is that the royal family and their bankers Dr Jack Kruse (01:00:23.82) have screwed up the 20th and 21st century more than you can ever imagine. Most of the things that we're all dealing with now are because they want to recapture the lands that they lost and bring them back under British rule. And it turns out the one thing they've done, they've infiltrated a lot of the United States government with people who are still loyal. That's what the Council of Foreign Relations is. And who is the main group in the United States that the Royal Family and the Rothschilds partner with. It's the Rockefellers. Rockefellers were richer than the Rothschilds and the Royal Family. So guess what? They brought them in. And then, magically, we got the Council of Foreign Relations. They're tied to Tavistock. They're tied to the Committee of 300. You got this whole story. And then, magically, we get the Federal Reserve, which is basically all of the families that were in Europe, now the big ones in the United States, who are also all ex-Britain. Now they're all in bed together and go, hey, let's start this process in the United States to see if we can get back to the Middle Ages where everybody's on a feudal plantation and they're working for us and they're happy about it. That's just the marketing slogan that changed from the 1920s to 1973 and 71 when Kissinger and Schwab start the world economic forum. The process for the last 50 years, slow incremental changes to get us back. to the one world government idea. That's all the stuff that we're talking about, all the health stuff, all the COVID stuff. That is the true metastatic cancer that sits at the base of this shit sandwich. Stuart Cooke (01:02:13.032) I think you're like the modern day magnum PI on steroids. What is it we don't know? Dr Jack Kruse (01:02:18.956) Well, just think, well, Stuart, this is what I will say to you, and hopefully this resonates with you and resonates with the audience. There's two type of people in the world, those that believe the government and then those that know the history. And it turns out when you know the history, you have to have one caveat. The victors write the history books, but it turns out the real history is still discoverable if you know what rocks to look under. And when Stuart Cooke (01:02:46.328) Yeah. Dr Jack Kruse (01:02:48.286) I started this whole process because people have asked me, how did you figure a lot of this stuff out? Well, it turned out my mentor in this whole thing, which is Robert O. Becker, who's a doctor in the United States who was canceled by the Industrial Military Complex over the effect of non-native EMF. Turned out when I saw how he was canceled, it was tied to the same story. And when he got canceled in 1977, I met with him in 2007. He had 30 years to figure out who really did him wrong. And let me tell you something, if you think Uncle Jack is salty, you should have met this cat. He was truly pissed off. This guy was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize. So when I sat down with him and we shared notes, he casually warned me. He said, don't do anything crazy like I did and go on 60 minutes and try to tell the world the truth. because the world will never believe the truth because they're in a propaganda of lies. And those lies were set up by the architects that I just told you about, the bankers, Big Pharma, all the corporations, all the people that BlackRock own in the United States, those are all the people that you guys are affected by too. BlackRock affects Australia, UK, everybody else. And the idea of BlackRock... is you only have to have 5 % ownership in a company. Everybody else has fractional ownership. So effectively, this is the same idea that the Rothschilds used in 1812 at the Battle of Waterloo when they took over the banking situation. You they had better information than anything else. You don't have to own a company 100 % or 51 % to control it. If you control the finances, you control the country. And that's actually what Thomas Jefferson warned. are people about in 1774. This is the reason why Thomas Jefferson was absolutely adamant that the Bank of England was filled with a bunch of criminals. And he was right. I mean, I hate to tell you this, but this problem has now persisted on for 250 years in United States. And I would love to tell you that we were smarter than the Britons, but we weren't. We use their system. And now the system is so broken. Dr Jack Kruse (01:05:09.622) and it's so slated to them, they're going, they think we're complete idiots. So they're trying to, you know, completely go back to the way it used to be. And that makes King Charles very happy. Makes the Rothschilds happy, makes the Rockefellers happy. Why? Because they're able to recapture everything. If they can get the United States, they believe they can eventually get Russia back. That should make you realize truly what's going on with NATO, the Ukraine and Putin right now. It completely gives you a different spin on things when you look at what's happened in European, you know, world history here lately. And I just want to be the guy to tell you that I think if you focus on the history here, you'll understand more of the biology and why decentralized medicine is really important for you to follow from this point forward. Like the story that you told me about the digital ID. I really appreciate it because it definitely ties into the story. I think every resident of the UK, every resident of Australia needs to follow your model. think what you said and that you weren't going to comply with this level of intrusion and surveillance is absolutely it. mean, look, we got a guy in the United States right now, Edward Snowden, who warned us about this and he's sitting in in Russia being protected. If you don't think that this story resonates with people in the United States, you're crazy. And look, you guys have a guy that just got out of jail for WikiLeaks. And you forget what WikiLeaks was about. It was about turning all the state's evidence through WikiLeaks of all these connections that I'm telling you about now. And the crazy thing is they treated D platform, right? Through the bank. They got rid of his bank accounts through the Bank of England and all the banks in Australia. Stuart Cooke (01:06:37.123) Yeah. Stuart Cooke (01:07:03.097) Hmm. Dr Jack Kruse (01:07:06.808) So what did he do to continue to do it? He used Bitcoin. Bitcoin actually allowed us to realize that John Podesta, the Clintons, Jeffrey Epstein, all these people were all linked together. This is how a lot of this story started to come out, Stuart, so that the regular folk on the people in Main Street could start talking about it on Twitter. That people like Matt Taibbi, you know, dropped the Twitter files and everybody in the world was like, holy shit, Snowden was right. You know. Julian Assange was right. Like this is no more, this is not a mystery Stuart. You know what the mystery is? Is that people all over the world are too busy watching Netflix, rugby games, soccer games, and doing Circus Maximus. It's the same story that we were told in Plato's Allegory of the Cave, that even when the slave is shown the truth, they're like, I'm gonna go back in the cave, just put my cuffs back on and I'm good. Most of you probably won't like to hear, Stuart Cooke (01:08:02.956) Yeah Dr Jack Kruse (01:08:06.038) of just how much disdain I have for you. But that's the truth. I told the people the same thing in the United States before the election. I said, if you vote for Kamala Harris, you are the slave that's going back in the cave. And I'm not telling you that Trump's any prize package, but he's got less warts than the other person. And I think it's going to take a while for us to really get rid of this metastatic cancer. Organ by organ, we have to change it. But I'm hoping by doing a podcast like this with you, Stuart Cooke (01:08:17.401) Hmm. Stuart Cooke (01:08:23.501) Yeah. Dr Jack Kruse (01:08:36.29) that you can really understand how decentralized finance and decentralized health are linked together. This story is just like the medical caduceus that you look at. The two snakes are intertwined. And it's our job as the patient not to comply with fiat money, with bullshit CBDCs, when any kind of things are controlled, whether it's the internet company or your bank. Take all your money out of the bank. Don't leave it in the bank. And I would tell everybody, I think

Pepe Marais is the Co-founder and Group Chief Creative Officer at Joe Public, a full-service agency and communication group supporting high-growth brands. Joe Public has been ranked as the #1 agency in South Africa for five years. In 2004, Pepe founded Joe Public's CSR program, One School at a Time, an organization that creates exceptional education systems. He has received numerous local and international industry awards, including being ranked as the “Most Admired Creative Leader,” and has served on various judging panels and boards. In this episode: As an advertising agency, creativity is a necessity. So when faced with implementing processes and procedures, many ad agencies reject the task, believing it restricts freedom and creativity. Conversely, business systems promote a sense of control through organization and consistency. How can you create and implement growth-oriented processes? The leading advantage of procedures is that you can evolve them consistently to align with changing business needs and industry standards. But successful process implementer Pepe Marais says you can't develop systems without a strategic goal or purpose in mind. Identifying an intention behind your execution maximizes the full potential of these processes and provides clarity into propelling your business forward. In today's episode of Systems Simplified, Pepe Marais, the Co-founder and Group Chief Creative Officer at Joe Public, joins Adi Klevit to talk about executing processes with a “why.” Pepe addresses the role of systems in scaling a business, the takeaway advertising model, and how to manage client expectations.

To this end, he has actively contributed to the industry as Chairperson of The Creative Circle, the highest decision-making body for advertising creativity in South Africa and served as Chairman of the Loeries (2012–2014), South Africa's premier advertising awards show. He also strives to give a voice to African creativity on the global stage, having served on the juries of almost every renowned advertising award show across the world. Most recently, he was a member of the international board of the One Show – the premier advertising show in the United States. His passion for creative excellence is also evident in the numerous awards won throughout his career at both local and international awards festivals, including Cannes, D&AD, One Show, Loeries and more – earning him recognition as South Africa's joint No. 1 creative leader in 2018 and number 2 in 2020 and 2021.

A time when so many people, including us, had a cheap second-hand upright piano in the house. The idea - great pianists played their tunes which were ‘recorded' onto paper rolls and those who made the Piano Rolls of paper with holes in them, sold them to Joe Public and anyone with the Pianola could then slot the roll into their piano (with an opening hatch at the front so you could see turning it if you wanted to) replicate perfectly the performance as it was originally played. Some performers cheated with this and conned the listeners of course! I remember playing with the speed - so if you pedalled slower, it slowed down and the tones became deeper - speed up and vice-versa. As a 5 year-old boy, I was fascinated! How did they work? I shall try and uncover it before we record - take a principle like a music box cylinder perhaps and apply it to holes instead of twang-prongs?!

This is a really, really important episode.Kelly Molson: Steve, thank you so much for joining me on Skip the Queue podcast today. It's really good to see you.Steve Mills: Pleasure. Thanks for inviting me, Kelly.Kelly Molson: I've got a few icebreaker questions for you, Steve.Steve Mills: Go for it.Kelly Molson: You can only save one of the Muppets. Which Muppet do you choose, and why?Steve Mills: Oh my God. Well, I'll tell you the one I'd like to be, I'd like to be the drummer, Animal. Aspiring to be fun and exciting and a bit off the wall, really, to be honest. But I would say very much it's an aspiration rather than reality with me, to be honest. I'm probably more like Scooter, who is the more rational, down to earth, logical one.Kelly Molson: I think that might come across in what we talk about today, Steve.Steve Mills: Okay. Fair enough, fair enough. No, that's definitely it for me.Kelly Molson: All right. How would you describe your job to a two year old?Steve Mills: I find out all the fun stuff that people like doing.Kelly Molson: That's a great answer. That is a great answer. You nailed that, Steve.Steve Mills: Good.Kelly Molson: Okay. Last show that you binge-watched on your television viewing platform of choice? I don't know why I've done that. I'm not the BBC. No one cares what I say.Steve Mills: No, no, it's all right.Kelly Molson: Netflix, Amazon, whatever. Disney+.Steve Mills: I'm quite sporty, so Disney+, I've been watching this series called Welcome to Wrexham, which is all about Wrexham Football Club and the fact that Ryan Reynolds and the other guy whose name everybody always forgets ... Jim, Joe, McElhenney or whatever it is, taking over the football club. And it's a kind of fly on the wall documentary about how they've taken over the club, and trying to make a success of it. But very interestingly, there's lots of these fly on the wall, football type documentaries, and this one is made for an American audience. It has some quite subtle differences in there, so they have things like translations between English and American phrases for things like bloke means buddy and that kind of thing. It has got a little twist in it, which I quite enjoy.Kelly Molson: That's interesting. That's on my list, to watch that one. But we've watched the Tottenham one that was on Amazon, because we're big Tottenham fans. And we watched ... What was the one ... Was it Sunderland? Was there one about-Steve Mills: Yeah.Kelly Molson: Yeah, we watched that one as well, that was really good. Okay, we'll watch that one, and there's little, subtle differences because it's for Americans.Steve Mills: Yes.Kelly Molson: All right, Steve. What is your unpopular opinion?Steve Mills: That's an interesting first question because given my profession, which we'll come on to, my job is really about conveying others' opinions rather than having them of my own, to be honest with you. But my unpopular opinion is sticking with the sporting theme, really, is that I think that there's no better sporting drama than a five day cricket test match.Kelly Molson: Oh God.Steve Mills: Which is definitely an unpopular opinion, to be honest. Or even a four day cricket county championship match that's watched by three men and a dog on a wet Tuesday in April, to be honest. Because I know it's difficult to believe that anyone could be interested in a sport where you could have a draw after five days' worth of activity, but for me, it's like reading a novel, but it's being played out in front of your eyes, in many ways. There's time to get to know all the characters properly, and story kind of ebbs and flows, and you get these unexpected instances happening that change the plot. And you can see these individual battles gradually unfolding during five days that you'd never get in a couple of hours.Steve Mills: And what I like about it is it's a kind of test of character and a test of patience for the players, not just the audience, as well as pure, sporting ability. Yeah, I'm sure it's a very unpopular opinion, but I think it's a kind of antidote to where we're going as a society generally, so it's the whole antidote to having low attention span, these quick rewards and these superficial pleasures. You don't want any of that, go and watch a five day test match. Which ironically, I don't think I've ever done, to be honest with you. But it's certainly something I've got in mind when I retire in a few years' time.Kelly Molson: Steve, it was a really beautiful analogy. I really enjoyed your analogy about it being like a novel, and playing out the roles and the characters and stuff, but you have not sold it to me.Steve Mills: I wasn't intending to.Kelly Molson: But well done on the analogy. All right, listeners, let us know what you think about Steve's cricket is a novel analogy, and we should all be in watching cricket for five days. I know that I've got a lot of different things that I could be spending my days on, but there you go. Thank you for sharing.Steve Mills: That's all right.Kelly Molson: Right, Steve, I've asked you to come on today because we're going to do a bit of a state of the nation chat. But tell us a little bit about you and what Decision House does, for our listeners that haven't heard of you, which I will be surprised if they haven't.Steve Mills: Okay. No, thank you, yeah. I started Decision House back in 2017. I used to head up the Tourism and Culture team at BDRC, which is now called BVA BDRC. I headed those up for a good few years before that. Decision House really specialises in generating insights that help organisations in the culture and tourism sector specifically, and particularly attractions, really. Just helping them to make better decisions for their organisation, hence the Ronseal type name, Decision House.Steve Mills: And we mainly do that by conducting fresh, primary research, either with your current customers, so whether you call your current customers visitors or bookers or members, and that helps with making sure that we deliver, or they can deliver, optimum experiences for their visitors. Or, we do research with prospective customers, so more market and audience research to understand how they can grow their customer bases, actually. We can do that. We do both quantitative research, so the typical surveys, online surveys, face-to-face surveys et cetera, or we also do qualitative research as well, so things like focus groups, in-depth interviews, which really get under the skin of the issues that organisations have. Typically, quantitative surveys will measure visitor opinion, whereas qualitative gets to the root of why visitors have those particular opinions.Steve Mills: That's really what we do, and during COVID, we did an awful lot of work to really track public sentiment. And that led us to setting up visitor benchmarking surveys to understand reactions the visitors had to COVID measures being put in place once attractions reopened back in 2020. And that's really, both of those surveys, public sentiment work for ALVA and the visitor benchmark and consumer views for the last couple of years and still going now, really, albeit they've evolved into pieces of work that aren't COVID related anymore. They're more general sentiment work now.Kelly Molson: And they've been incredibly valuable, Steve. And I reference them continuously, and I do reference the BVA BDRC's work as well. And they've been incredibly insightful. Now, we spoke a couple of weeks ago about coming on to talk about the state of the nation and where people at, because what had been happening is I had been contacted by a few attractions, saying, "What have you heard? Numbers are down a little bit. What have you heard? What's the sentiment like?" And I always fire them your way, but I thought why not get the man in himself to talk us through where we're at?Kelly Molson: We've got a really weird situation at the moment in the UK. I mean, we're recording this. It's the fifth of October. We're in the run-up to what is usually a busy half-term, and then the run up to Christmas which can be quite quiet for a number of attractions, depending on what you're doing. But we've got the cost of living crisis, we've got the pound was at its lowest since the '70s, which blows my mind. We've had the death of our monarch, we have a new king, and a new prime minister, all happening at once. I mean, that's quite a lot to be dealing with. But I guess, what does all of this mean for attractions as we move into that winter period and beyond? And I thought this is what we could talk about today, Steve. So, where are we at? It's big question, but where are we at?Steve Mills: A massive question. I'll try my best to try and pick some of those issues apart, really. I think if we deal with the death of Her Majesty the Queen first of all, and what the ramifications of that might be ... And this is, I guess, a personal opinion, first of all, really. I mean, I think domestically, it's not going to have a huge impact, if I'm perfectly honest. People will move on relatively quickly from that. I suspect attractions won't see ... Unless you are something that is specifically related to the monarchy, you probably won't see a huge amount of difference. I mean, clearly somewhere like Windsor Castle is already seeing queues of people outside the gates, for example.Steve Mills: But I think outside of that niche, domestically, I doubt we'll see a huge difference. But then, obviously, internationally, it has raised the profile. And actually, I think showcased all the positive associations that people abroad associate with the UK, and why they travel here. It has emphasised our heritage, it has emphasised our amazing ability in terms of the pomp and ceremony, et cetera. And it has been a great showcase for London sites, to be honest. I think internationally, it should have a significant impact going into next year, allied of course with the low value of the pound. Now, it's not all good, obviously, but obviously, in exchange rates terms, it's a good thing for next year, particularly [inaudible 00:10:48]. I guess that's where I'd see the death of the monarch situation.Kelly Molson: It's interesting, what you said about the pomp. I mean, as we watched the funeral here, a very emotional day, actually. And I was transfixed to the ceremony for the entire day. It was quite mesmerising. But in my head, I just kept thinking, people outside of the UK that watched this, it's strange, isn't it? It's quite strange, and it's very grand, and it's a real sense of what the UK is about, that kind of level of ceremony, and people coming together. It was quite phenomenal. And it did make me think ultimately, it's a really sad day, but it's such a big thing for the UK to be able to do. I wonder if that does represent a surge in international tourism because of that, and people wanted to come and be a small part in that kind of thing.Steve Mills: Yeah. I think increasingly, whether it's people from the UK or people coming into the UK, people want to do things now that is different. And they want to be seen to be doing things that you can only do in one particular location. And I think the UK, I don't think there is anywhere quite like it in terms of ability to deliver on things like the pomp and ceremony. And that's what really sets us apart from many other countries around the world. And I think we shouldn't forget that, and not be afraid to promote it.Kelly Molson: Yeah, absolutely. And then that brings us to the new king. There will be a coronation at some point.Steve Mills: Yeah, it's similar, similar.Kelly Molson: So, similar kind of reaction to that, probably, and something very positive to celebrate as well.Steve Mills: Yeah. But then yeah, the other side of it is I think you mentioned cost of living.Kelly Molson: Small, little issue that we're all struggling with.Steve Mills: Probably yeah, less positive. I think with that one, as a lot of listeners will know, we have been commissioned by ALVA throughout COVID, and also a couple of waves this year, just to gauge public sentiment into how people are feeling about visitor attractions. We did a wave back in June this year, which first highlighted some financial concerns for the attraction-visiting public. And it also said at that point that COVID actually was still a noticeable barrier, particularly for the older generation and those who are more vulnerable. We're just literally hot off the press at the end of September, so we did another wave the 22nd and 27th of September, just to update that and try to understand how people are feeling about visiting attractions in the autumn and the winter, up until about February next year. So, how attractions are going to cope.Steve Mills: And one of the key questions we asked is just a completely open question. People can respond in any way they like to this question. But we just ask, "At the moment, how are you feeling about visiting attractions over the next few months?" As I said, they could say absolutely anything there. We've not prompted them with anything. And I think the issues that are coming up here, first of all on the positive side, is that COVID is being mentioned by less and less people. I think the assumption is that it's completely not an issue any more, but I wouldn't say it has done that. But back in June, we still had 15% of people at that point saying something to do with COVID was putting me off going to visitor attractions, which was partially explaining why we hadn't seen that bounceback to pre pandemic levels.Steve Mills: That has now, in the September wave, come down to 9%, so it's disappearing. That said, you've still got one in 10 people who have still got some sort of concerns around COVID. As I say, it's particularly older people and vulnerable people that are still saying that. But that's quite positive.Steve Mills: But then on the other side, the financial concerns have gone up considerably. Again, back in June, we had about 15% of people mentioning some sort of financial concern as a barrier to why they wouldn't be visiting attractions, or would maybe think twice. But that has now gone up to 24, 25%, something like that. So, quite a significant increase. And again, it's as you would expect, it's especially among those with lower incomes, but also families are increasingly expressing financial concerns. And this time around, we asked a specific question as well about whether there was any positive benefit of all the government support around energy bills. And actually, we're finding that it's probably not because any sort of positive benefit of government support is being negated by just the still absolute rises in energy costs.Steve Mills: It's a difficult situation at the moment, and we've now got around about half the country really feeling that they feel worse off than they did at the same point last year. Clearly, that's going to have an impact.Kelly Molson: Yeah. I wonder, I mean, I can give you an example. I went to an attraction on Monday. I took my daughter, I met up with some friends, and went to Paradise Wildlife Park for the day. And I definitely thought more about what I was going to spend when I got there than I usually would. And I thought well, I'm quite lucky. My daughter is a big eater. She's not fussy. She eats anything. But I went, do you know what? I'm going to just pack her a packed lunch, so she has got sandwiches, fruit, whatever, and I'll buy myself my lunch when I'm there, and that just saves just a tiny, little bit of money. And it sounds silly. It's insignificant, but it was enough to make me, in my head, go, "I feel a bit better about that."Kelly Molson: And I probably spent longer at the attraction as well, because in my head I was like, well, "I've paid, I want to get my money's worth. We'll go here and we'll go in the Tumble Tots place and we'll do the soft play." And I just really extended the time that I was at the attraction as well, for the money that I paid for it. And it wasn't unreasonable at all. We had a great day, it's a brilliant, brilliant day out. But it did make me think about just small changes I wouldn't have thought about six months ago.Steve Mills: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I think you've picked up on secondary spend there. I think that is one thing that's going to be a challenge. And also, memberships as well. We were, a bit earlier in the year, seeing people saying things like, "Well, I'll squeeze as much as I possibly can out of my existing memberships," which is a good thing. Makes you more likely to renew. But I think now we've reached the stage where people are starting to do that a bit less, because they've actually scared of any visit occasion because there is secondary spends associated with even a visit occasion that is associated with a membership, because you've got to travel to get there. And then you've got to potentially have something to eat there, or buy something in the shop. And I think the situation is now with some people that they're, even when they have a membership of some organisation, they're actually more reluctant to use it now, more than trying to squeeze as much as possible out of it.Steve Mills: I think it's going to be a tough time for memberships over the next few months, definitely. We've got, again, evidence from that piece of work that is saying people are less likely to renew and less likely to acquire new memberships over the next few months, because of their personal financial situation. And it's all within that 50% of people who are feeling worse off, obviously. Which I guess on the positive side, what we're seeing is that I guess if there was going to be a prediction, it's that at the high end, limited supply-type products, there's virtually going to be no change there. If you've got limited supply of something that's priced at a high level, I think there is still going to be plenty of demands for that sort of thing. And you see it all the time, really.Steve Mills: I mean, I think things like the Christmas lights displays, for example, at attractions, I have a feeling they're still going to be okay and do well. I mean, I tried to go to, there's one reasonably local to me at Walterstone. And I don't know if it's completely sold out yet, but I know the slots that we wanted to try and book, we booked three or four weeks ago for it. I think those sorts of events and the higher price point end with limited supply should be okay, in my view.Kelly Molson: Yeah. And I would agree with that, again from personal experience of trying to book the Audley End miniature railway Christmas experience. All of the weekends are gone. I did manage to get a Friday, thankfully. More for me, to be perfectly honest. I can't wait to go on it. But yeah, those peak Saturdays and weekend slots sold out within hours, and they're all gone completely. Yeah, I definitely agree with you on that.Kelly Molson: Do you think that that then leads attractions to they're just going to have to try harder in terms of the experience that they're putting on? Should they be looking at trying to offer things that are a bit more unique, at a higher price point?Steve Mills: Yeah, I think yes, definitely. I think as well, it's important to point out that this isn't going to be across the board. Again, there's a lot of evidence for ... Again, I guess this is all very intuitive, but there's going to be a much higher negative impact on paid attractions than free attractions, so again, there's very strong evidence that people will be switching out from paid attractions to free attractions. But then even within that, within paid attractions, it's perhaps starting to emphasise that this is all going to be about value message. And what else can you do to add value to whatever ticket price is, really?Steve Mills: Yeah, and again, a third of people said they will visit paid attractions less than normal, and only 13% said more. Whereas on the free attractions side, you've got a third saying they will visit free attractions more than usual, and only 8% said less. And again, that's all driven by those that feel worse off. Yeah, I think it's all completely about that value message over the winter. Need that reassuring communications around it.Steve Mills: And I think as well, what has also come out of this is there's this assumption that the cost of visiting attractions will be rising at the same rate as everything else in the economy. There were quite a few people saying things like, "just assuming that the cost of visiting attractions was going to be going up". I think there is a really important communications message to put in there, some thought actions to come across, is that we are maybe holding our prices at '22 levels, or whatever it is. Or only increasing it by a small amount, or adding this extra value item in or whatever it is. I think something that is related to value and price has to be the message this year, just to reassure people that actually, we're not going up at the same price as energy and wheat and sunflower oil and all the rest of it. Actually, it's going to be fairly marginal, if anything, for visitor attractions, which I thought was one of the quite interesting things that came out of it.Kelly Molson: That's really interesting, isn't it? Yeah, I hadn't considered that. I mean, look, it's unfair to say that attractions won't be putting up their prices, because their energy bills are going up just as ours are. Actually, their energy bills are going up more dramatically than ours, because there's currently no cap on businesses. There isn't a reassurance piece to be done, but I think that has to be done quite tactically by the attraction because they can't come out and say, "Look, we're not putting our prices up. We're not doing this," because they might have to because of the cost of living. Okay, but that's something that I wasn't expecting, that they just assumed that it would rise that rapidly.Steve Mills: Yeah. And coincidentally, I read something somewhere recently in the trade press as well of just someone had done some research across other sectors as well, and was seeing a very similar sort of scenario as well. Actually, when you think about it, average Joe Public, if inflation is at 10%, your immediate thought is well, everything is going up 10%. Why wouldn't it be? Most members of the public wouldn't think about the nuances of what's going up and what isn't going up.Steve Mills: I think it's just something to bear in mind. Although again, what I would say is that I'm of the view that attractions should try and hold their nerve in terms of pricing. And I suspect there won't be much merit in reducing prices or holding prices as they are just for the sake of it, because I don't think we're talking here about those people who are financially squeezed. The odd pound or two lower admission price at a visitor attraction I don't think is going to make a huge amount of difference to whether they visit or not, to be honest. All you'll be doing is rewarding the people who would visit anyway. Why would you do that? I think it's holding your nerve and being confident that you offer a good value, worthwhile experience.Kelly Molson: Yeah. Good advice, Steve. And that also backs up the last interview that we had with Simon Addison about being confident in what you're delivering, and the price that you're charging for it. Yeah, really, really good advice. Okay, what else have you discovered?Steve Mills: I think they were probably the main points, really. Yeah, I mean I think as I said, it's going to be pretty tough for membership, so existing members, we're now seeing they're less likely to renew than they were back in June, and they're less likely to acquire new memberships as well. And yeah, just more reticent about using and squeezing as much value out of their existing membership as well.Kelly Molson: Yeah. It's interesting, the membership one, because my National Trust membership is up for renewal in January time. We were very kindly gifted it for a wedding present last year. And I'm absolutely going to renew, because for me, it's such incredible value for money. And we were literally talking about it last night. We were like, "Well, that's fine. We'll renew our membership. We'll make sure that we are not only using the brilliant National Trust parks that are around us, like Wimpole and Anglesea Abbey, et cetera, Ickworth, but go further afield as well. Actually, if we're going to use that membership, then we don't mind traveling a little bit further, even though that's going to cost us a bit more in petrol, to go to that attraction because you're then not paying the attraction fee on top of the travel costs as well. Yeah, it's funny. I'd never even considered not renewing it.Steve Mills: Yeah. And I'm exactly the same. And I guess, let's be clear, here. I said 50% of the population are feeling worse off than they did at this point last year, but then 50% are feeling okay, the same or better. And I think it was something like 15% or so were actually feeling better off than last year, which I think says something about where we're going as a society. You've got people dividing even further, to be honest with you. There are still significant proportions of people that are feeling fine about things, and will renew their memberships, or see them as a charitable donation.Kelly Molson: Steve, I want to ask you a little bit about pre booking, because I mean we've talked about this for years now, pre booking. Obviously, it was kind of forced upon attractions during the pandemic, when they were allowed to open. I still don't know why anyone wouldn't pre book in advance, but then I am an organised planner. I need to know that I've got my ticket and I'm going to get in. I'm not going to have a wasted journey. And obviously, from an operational side, aspect from attractions, it's a brilliant thing to be able to do.Kelly Molson: What's the kind of sentiment now from general public? Are they still happy with it? Are they starting to want to go back to the old days, where things were just a little bit more flexible and bit more spontaneous?Steve Mills: Yeah. Well, I think almost, it's switching that around a little bit. I mean, I think obviously COVID was this fantastic opportunity to almost change the culture of the public to one where, as you said, it's why wouldn't you pre book an attraction in the same way that you would pre book lots of other things in society, like going to the theatre or going to a restaurant or whatever? Certainly, paid attractions. There was a really good opportunity to change the culture. And so I think the main point for me is that attractions need to be proactive in encouraging that behaviour.Steve Mills: It's not something that will naturally come to the public, and public sentiment won't change unless attractions are proactive in changing it. Why would it, really? I think it's incumbent upon attractions to really create that appetite for pre booking. And I think to an extent, we're beginning to get there. But I think there's a lot more to be done in terms of what nudges can we put to the public to encourage to pre book? I think things like online discounts that are notable, or switching it around premiums to walk-ups, depending on which way you want to look at it, should be used more than they probably are at the moment.Steve Mills: And things like dynamic pricing for advanced booking, for example. Again, I know you talked to Simon Addison about dynamic pricing last week. But the more that that can be used, in particular for things like advanced booking, I think just will encourage pre booking. And then gradually over a period of time, it then gets ingrained into the people's psyche, "I'm going to an attraction, therefore I will pre book."Steve Mills: I think it's just one of those that I think the industry as a whole almost needs to come together and say, "Right, we're going to push pre booking as much as we possibly can because we need to change the way that society thinks about booking attractions." Easy for me to sit here and say that, and much more difficult to do. But I think that's what needs to be done because yeah, as we've seen, there's huge benefits in terms of creating that relationship with anybody as soon as you grab their email address. And that investment or the discounts you offer may well pay dividends in years to come because you've managed to keep that relationship going, which means you get more repeat visits, you get more top of mind so you get more recommendation being spread around, et cetera. I think it's a worthwhile investment.Kelly Molson: Brilliant, yeah. Good advice. I agree with every, single word you have said, Steve. Thanks for backing up everything that I put online about it as well.Steve Mills: It's all right. And to be honest, it helped me as well on my visitor surveys. I now try and make sure that they are online, post visit surveys, which tend to help the more pre bookers people have got. It makes that research a lot more cost effective, shall we say, as well.Kelly Molson: Helping us all round, Steve. That's what I like. Sector collaboration and all that. Right, Steve, thank you for sharing your insights today. It's really appreciated, and I know that this will help a lot of people that are feeling a little bit anxious about what's going on and just not really sure how to approach things. Thank you very much.Kelly Molson: I always ask our guests to recommend a book that they love or something that has helped shape their career in some way. What have you got for us today?Steve Mills: Okay. I've read this book called Silt Road, silt road rather than silk road, by a guy called Charles Rangeley-Wilson or Rangeley-Wilson. Not quite sure, to be honest. And he's quite niche based, so be prepared. It tells the social history of High Wycombe, which is where I live, through the lens of the River Wye, which sort of runs through it, although most of it has been culverted and put under a shopping centre and a flyover, these days. Yeah, it tells that story through the lens of a river. It tells a story about things like the mills on the river, the history of Wycombe as a furniture and chair making town, which led to me actually being ... I'm now Chair of the Wycombe Chair Museum, which is rather ironic.Kelly Molson: That's niche as well, isn't it? I love it.Steve Mills: It is. It's incredibly niche. It's incredibly niche. And it also tells the story of things like how trout became ... Trout are a thing in New Zealand, apparently, and they are a thing in New Zealand because they were taken from the River Wye and transported over thousands of miles to New Zealand many years ago.Steve Mills: But the reason why I mention it is because I'm not originally from Wycombe. I've lived here for about 15 years. But it really helped me form this identity with the town, because Wycombe is a few miles outside London. It's very commuter-able, which means that actually, there's not many people live in Wycombe who are originally from Wycombe. I'm a big believer in getting pride in your local area so you look after it better and make you want to contribute to the community.Steve Mills: Books like this help with that because it has really helped me to understand Wycombe in more detail, understand the social history, and feel more proud of the place I live.Kelly Molson: Steve, I love that.Steve Mills: It's not really a recommendation to read that specific book. It's more of a kind of a plea to go and find out a bit more about your local area, read about the social history, so that you feel more proud about the places you live in.Kelly Molson: And more connected to it as well.Steve Mills: Completely, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pride and connection.Kelly Molson: Steve, I think that's lovely. It's amazing, the stuff that you can learn on this podcast. Who knew? Who knew? Who knew that Wycombe ... I had no idea that it was a big chair and furniture manufacturing place, and that you had got a Chair Museum as well.Steve Mills: We do, yes. It's mentioned in Gavin and Stacey as well.Kelly Molson: Is it?Steve Mills: Yeah, there you go.Kelly Molson: Well, I mean I'm an Essex girl, so that fits for me too.Steve Mills: Well, James Corden is from High Wycombe, so that's why it's mentioned in there.Kelly Molson: Got you. Right, okay. Well, look, listeners, if you want to win Steve's book, and why wouldn't you?

This was actually the first recorded interview for the JPS Opioid Addiction & Recovery series, and it took place shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic really started messing everything up. We recorded in the UNH Communication Department's Media Lab, and as you will hear, the original idea for the series was to keep is focused on UNH as a microcosm for other universities across the country, and for that matter, the issue in general, in our society today. Well... you know what happened next. Bye-bye campus. The interview wound up staying in the hopper for awhile, but now here it is. Prof. Nolte has so many insightful things to say, so hearing her discuss her response to the way we look at the addiction issue is very enlightening, and her practical ideas for addressing the issue are invaluable.

Guest: Martin Rumscheidt Location: Recorded for video at SomeCity, Somersworth, NH. Audio tech: Bill Rogers Music: "Here Comes the Shutdown", Kevin Healey (khealey.bandcamp.com) Host: Tom Jackson *Hi, it's me, Tom. I did the audio edit, as I always do. You might think that you hear an un-denoised audio hiss in the background, but that's actually rain and downtown traffic, in Somersworth, NH. It was 5PM when we started recording, and it was raining steadily, during the interview, and SomeCity is in a storefront in downtown Somersworth, so the main drag was filled with drive-time traffic, which you can hear, along with the falling rain. I was tempted to sing an acapella version of Tom Waits' "Downtown Train" as an outro for this edition of Joe Public Speaking, but then thought better of it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tom-jackson2/support

My guest today talks about being in a relationship for most of their teens with a person who was addicted to opioids. As my guest points out, the realization that one can't expect a child to take care of another child in this type of a situation was an important one, and it took a long time for that realization to fully set in. My guest asked to remain anonymous, so their voice has been altered. I hope that even if you find the sound annoying, you'll still listen all the way through--- they have some really well stated, important thoughts about this issue which is still very much among us in American society today.
