Vue developer Alex Riviere joins Amy to explore the fundamental differences between Vue and React, diving deep into Vue's unique approach to reactivity, templating, and developer experience. From the magic of V-Model eliminating controlled/uncontrolled input complexity to Vue's proxy-based reactivity system that "just works," Alex explains why Vue's mental model clicked for him coming from jQuery. The conversation covers Vue 3's Composition API and Script Setup syntax, the evolution from VueX to Pinia for state management, and exciting developments like Vue Vapor Mode that will eliminate the virtual DOM entirely. Alex also breaks down Evan You's recent $4.6M VoidZero funding to revolutionize JavaScript build tooling, the flexibility of Nuxt as a meta-framework, and why Vue remains approachable enough to sprinkle into any project without complex build steps. Show Notes00:00 - Intro01:10 - How Alex Got Started with Vue03:00 - Vue vs React Mental Models08:00 - Vue's Approach to Forms and V-Model10:20 - Vue Frameworks: Nuxt and the Ecosystem17:00 - Vue 2 to Vue 3 Migration Challenges19:00 - Nuxt as a Dev Dependency vs Runtime22:30 - When Do You Need a Framework with Vue?25:30 - Laravel Integration and Alpine.js Connection27:40 - Vue's Reactivity System and Proxies29:40 - State Management: VueX to Pinia Evolution32:20 - SSR and Server Components in Vue34:10 - Hosting and Deployment Options35:40 - Evan You's VoidZero Funding and Vision43:10 - Vue Vapor Mode: Eliminating Virtual DOM47:40 - Getting Started with Vue Resources48:40 - Picks and Plugs Links and ResourcesPeople MentionedAlex Riviere - @alexriviereEvan You - Vue.js creator - @youyuxiBen Hong - Vue core team member - @bencodezenDaniel Roe - Nuxt team - @danielcroeTaylor Otwell - Laravel creator - @taylorotwellVue.js ResourcesVue.js Official Site - vuejs.orgVue.js Documentation - vuejs.org/guideVue School - vueschool.ioVue Mastery - vuemastery.comFrameworks & Tools MentionedNuxt - nuxt.comVite - vitejs.devAstro - astro.buildPinia (Vue state management) - pinia.vuejs.orgVueX (legacy state management) - vuex.vuejs.orgAlpine.js - alpinejs.devLaravel - laravel.comLivewire - livewire.laravel.comSolid.js - solidjs.comReact - react.devSvelte - svelte.devBuild Tools & InfrastructureESBuild - esbuild.github.ioRollup - rollupjs.orgNitroPack - nitro.unjs.ioWebpack - webpack.js.orgVoidZero (Evan You's new company) - voidzero.devHosting PlatformsNetlify - netlify.comVercel - vercel.comCloudflare - cloudflare.comReact Ecosystem (for comparison)Next.js - nextjs.orgRemix - remix.runRedwoodJS - redwoodjs.comGatsby - gatsbyjs.comPodcasts & ContentDeja Vue Podcast - dejavue.fm (mentioned Evan You VoidZero interview)Vue.js Conferences - VueConf eventsTechnical Concepts to ResearchVue Composition API - vuejs.org/guide/extras/composition-api-faq.htmlVue Script Setup - vuejs.org/api/sfc-script-setup.htmlVue Directives - vuejs.org/guide/essentials/template-syntax.html#directivesVue Reactivity - vuejs.org/guide/extras/reactivity-in-depth.htmlVue Vapor Mode (experimental) - github.com/vuejs/core-vaporJavaScript Proxies - MDN Proxy DocumentationSignals (reactive programming) - General concept in modern frameworksPicks & PlugsDropout TV - Nobody Asked - dropout.tvCodeMash Conference - codemash.orgWhoosh Screen Cleaner - https://amzn.to/4nBR5UtAdditional Helpful ResourcesVue 2 to Vue 3 Migration Guide - v3-migration.vuejs.orgVue vs React Comparison - vuejs.org/guide/extras/composition-api-faq.html#comparison-with-react-hooksIslands Architecture - jasonformat.com/islands-architecture

Jon Ostrower talks with Brian Sumers about this year's Paris Air Show, including the new "stretched" A220, ATR's strategic move into the U.S. market with JSX, LOT's big A220 order, and how the Air India Dreamliner accident — and how information-scarce the ensuing weeks have been — changed the event this year.We would like to thank Plusgrade and Intelsat for supporting The Air Show.Visit www.theairshowpodcast.com to get in touch with us.

In this episode, Richard Feldman (creator of Roc, Elm educator, and Zed engineer) discusses AI's focus on "vibe coding" over high-quality tools, why functional programming's real value lies in ecosystems—not dogma—and how frustration with slow compilers led him to design the Roc programming language. He shares Zed's pragmatic use of AI for code "rough drafts," lessons learned from teaching Elm and Rust, and why prioritizing outcomes always beats out industry hype. He shares some Java war stories, JSX's early controversy, and why Zed's performance-first approach defies today's norms. Tune in for deep dives on language design, where he sees AI's potential, and the myth about using "boring" tech.Check out Richard's Frontend Masters courses here: https://frontendmasters.com/teachers/richard-feldmanFrontend Masters Online:Twitter: https://twitter.com/FrontendMastersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/frontend-masters/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FrontendMastersInstagram: https://instagram.com/FrontendMastersAbout Us:Advance your skills with in-depth, modern front-end engineering courses — our 150+ high-quality courses and 18 curated learning paths will guide you from mid-level to senior developer! https://frontendmasters.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=home_link&utm_campaign=podcastepisode24

React Core team member Dan Abramov joins us to explore "JSX over the wire" and the evolving architecture of React Server Components.

Why did Eddie Van Halen leave Peavey? In this episode, we dive into the real story behind Eddie's departure from Peavey in 2004, taking the iconic 5150 amp and Wolfgang guitar with him to launch EVH with Fender. According to a new Guitar World interview with Peavey CEO Courtland Gray, Joe Satriani's endorsement deal may have played a key role in Eddie's decision to walk away. Was Eddie upset that Peavey signed another guitar legend? Did the launch of the JSX amp cause friction? We'll break down the timeline, the behind-the-scenes tensions, and how this split shaped the future of EVH gear.

Delphine Bugner, Mobile Tech Lead at BAM, discusses the inner workings of Yoga in React Native. Yoga is responsible for positioning components on the screen based on their dimensions and styling props. Delphine emphasizes the importance of understanding how things work under the hood and why they were designed that way. She shares her uncommon journey into becoming a React Native tech lead and her passion for exploring the technical aspects of technology. She also discusses the architecture of Yoga and how it works under the hood, including the translation of JSX into native views, the creation of shadow nodes and Yoga nodes, and the communication between JavaScript and native code. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the future of Yoga and its alignment with React on the web.Learn React Native - https://galaxies.devDelphine BugnerDelphine Twitter: https://twitter.com/DelphineBugnerDelphine Github: https://github.com/delphinebugnerLinksDelphine "The Yoga Enigma" talk in Berlin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU3vK3IbprYYoga: https://www.yogalayout.dev/TakeawaysYoga is responsible for positioning components on the screen based on their dimensions and styling props in React Native.Understanding how things work under the hood and why they were designed that way is important for developers.Yoga was created as a replacement for CSS in React Native and provides a common platform-agnostic layouting solution.The architecture of Yoga involves the translation of JSX into native views, the creation of shadow nodes and Yoga nodes, and the communication between JavaScript and native code.The new architecture in React Native improves code maintenance and performance.View flattening is a concept in Yoga that minimizes unnecessary containers in the view hierarchy.Debugging Yoga can be done by using breakpoints in C++ to understand the algorithm and identify the source of bugs. The new architecture in React Native brings more conformity with the web and allows for features like suspense and transitions that were not possible before.Working with native modules in React Native is not as difficult as it may seem, and developers can use tools like Bob or Create React Native Library CLI to simplify the process.Expo provides a more maintained and active ecosystem compared to the community libraries, making it a good choice for new projects.Yoga is continuously evolving to align React Native with the web, and future updates will offer more configuration options for developers.

Presented by Brand USA Episode Notes New York City has cracked down on short-term rentals by requiring hosts to register since last September. Since then, the city has only approved a little less than 2,300 applications, reports Executive Editor Dennis Schaal. Schaal writes the figure is a sign of the lack of short-term rentals in New York City. Christian Klossner, the Office of Special Enforcement's executive director, said Local 18, which also requires hosts to be present during the stay, has helped reduce illegal short-term rental listings in the city. The office has only approved roughly 36% of applications submitted since September.  Next, the Federal Aviation Administration is looking to tighten safety requirements on public charter airlines such as JSX. That could be a blow for companies like JSX, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi.  Maharishi notes that if the changes are approved, public charter airlines would fly under the same rules as commercial airlines. The FAA has said some public charter flights operate like commercial airlines. Major carriers such as American Airlines and Southwest Airlines have lobbied the U.S. government to consider more stringent rules on JSX, arguing that JSX was benefitting from a regulatory loophole.  Maharishi writes that tougher safety rules would be a problem for carriers like JSX since part of their appeal is a private jet-like experience. JSX, for example, operates out of small private terminals, and passengers don't go through a typical TSA security screening. .  Finally, China is continuing to expand its visa waiver program, adding Australia and New Zealand to the list recently, reports Asia Editor Peden Doma Bhutia.  Chinese Premier Li Qiang announced on Monday that China would include Australia in its visa waiver program. While Beijing hasn't revealed the details of the new visa arrangement, Bhutia notes Chinese officials announced a similar decision concerning New Zealand passport holders last week.  China's moves to provide travelers from more countries visa-free access are part of its strategy to rejuvenate its tourism industry. The country only welcomed about 36% of its 2019 foreign visitor total last year.  Get more travel news at https://skift.com Producer/Presenter: Jose Marmolejos

JSX and Contour have completely different business models, but they both have something in common.  They are able to take advantage of a loophole that allows them to run their operations more flexibly in terms of pilots, security, and more under Parts 135 and 380. The industry is divided on whether this is good or bad, but it has generated some real debate in Washington. Jon Ostrower and Brett Snyder talk about what's happening as well as the pros and cons.We would like to thank Plusgrade and Uplift for their sponsorship of The Air Show.Visit www.theairshowpodcast.com to get in touch with us.

In today's episode, we sit down with Uma Subramanian, a seasoned aviation expert with a wealth of experience in the industry.Having known Uma for many years, we've been really eager to bring her insights to our audience. From her time as an engineer working on F-18s, to doing corporate development and strategy at Rolls Royce, to leading the urban air mobility network Voom, an Airbus company, to being the founding CEO of Aero, an airline catering to premium passengers, from March 2019 to September 2023, Uma truly brings a unique perspective to the table.Our conversation with Uma covers a wide range of topics, from the genesis of Aero and the economics of running an airline to the challenges and opportunities in the ever-evolving aviation industry. One particularly contentious topic we explore is the ongoing debate surrounding Part 135 and Part 380 regulations, sparked by the success and recent public discourse around JSX.Throughout our discussion, we delve into the intricacies of airline operations, exploring questions such as the right strategies for profitable growth, the role of labor in shaping airline policies, and the regulatory structures that either hinder or foster innovation in air travel. We also touch upon exciting developments in electric aviation and the potential for regional air services in the U.S., shedding light on the future of aviation and the path forward for industry innovation.So join us as we unpack the complexities of starting and running an airline, navigate the economics of air travel, and explore the fascinating intersections of innovation and regulation in aviation.

CSS-in-JS has been around for years now, but have you tried JS-from-CSS? This week we talk about the new alternative trend sweeping through the web development community: writing only CSS to create a fully styled and typed React component. Two early frontrunners in this race are MistCSS and Stylin, and we'll keep an eye out for if this new twist on writing JSX components catches on. AnalogJS, the meta-framework for Angular we covered several months ago, announces release 1.0 with all the bells and whistles we've come to expect from other meta frameworks: Vite integration, filesystem routing, SSR/SSG, server routes, tRPC support, etc. and plans for future integrations with libraries like Astro, Nx, Vitest and Storybook. Chrome officially replaces the First Input Delay (FID) web vital metric with Interaction to Next Paint (INP) to try to do a better job of evaluating a webpage's performance beyond just the first user interaction.

Wilmer Leon (00:14): Welcome to the Connecting the Dots podcast with Dr. Wilmer Leon. I'm Wilmer Leon. Here's the point. We have a tendency to view current events as though they happen in a vacuum, failing to understand the broader historical context in which most events take place. During each episode, my guests and I have probing, provocative, and in-depth discussions that connect the dots between current events and the broader historic context in which these events take place. This enables you to better understand and analyze the events that are impacting the global village in which we live on today's episode. The issue before is what are the problems facing African-American aviators and other aviators of color in the commercial aviation space? To assist me with this discussion, let's turn to my guest. He's a man with well over 12,000 hours in the cockpit. In the commercial cockpit. He is Captain Clovis Jones, retired. Captain Jones, welcome to the show. Capt Clovis Jones (01:23): Thank you so much for having me. Wilmer Leon (01:25): If you would please introduce yourself. You have such a broad, such a vast resume. I don't want to give short shrift to any of your accomplishments, so please take a moment and introduce yourself, sir. Capt Clovis Jones (01:39): Okay. Clovis Jones Jr. Born in Dawson, Georgia. I wanted to be a pilot since I was four years old. I actually turned down a scholarship to Morehouse College in premed to go to the Army High School to Flight School program. However, my recruiter put something different on my contract. One reason is that he didn't get credit for recruiting officers and secondly, and that part of the world as a black person, that was not something that people who looked like him wanted people like me who looked like me to do so. I wound up in the infantry for three years, got out and asked for my scholarship back and went to Morehouse for a semester and was called by the Army's Aviation Department to see if I was still interested in flight school and I said yes. So I reenlisted into the army and did go to flight school, completing flight school. (02:35) I was a turnaround flight instructor for both the Huey Helicopter and for the Huey Gunships. Deployed to Vietnam as an instructor pilot, the safety officer and assistant officer officer. My second two in Vietnam. 10 days prior to that end, I was commissioned in the Army Field Artillery branch as a second Lieutenant Aviator returning to the states, I went to the basic course field artillery, then to the Army Aviations school at Fort Rucker, Alabama and became an academic instructor leaving the army. After about 10 years of active duty, I got my first line job with Hugs helicopters when they were working on the Army's new attack helicopter, the Apache and I was there from its flight test department, the Hughes helicopters from the building of the helicopter to its initial test flight through its delivered to the Army. Then my second flying job was with Xerox Flying Executives, third flying job with the Western Airlines, which is now part of Delta Airlines. Then to California, which is now part of American, and I found a home at FedEx and retired from FedEx as an MD 11 captain. I have been involved in flight organizations, both black and white and current president of the United States Army Black Aviation Association, and former president of the Organization of Black Airline Pilots, which is now the organization of black aerospace professionals. And my most recent flying job was with as a captain with JSX, a regional airline. Wilmer Leon (04:16): You are rated to fly both, as you just mentioned, helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. How unique is that for an aviator, particularly an African-American aviator? Capt Clovis Jones (04:30): Well, I don't know how unique it is, but there are a few of us who are dual rated and even fewer who were black. During Vietnam era, there were only about 600 black army aviators. So there's a book 600 more or less. And so to be dual rated, that's rare Wilmer Leon (04:54): To be dual rated. That is rare. Before we go any further, I'd be remiss if I did not mention the passing of Captain David E. Harris, the first African-American pilot for a major US passenger carrier. He died March 8th at the age of 89, and he once said, there's no way I should be the first. It should have happened long before 1964. I know you were friends with Captain Harris. If you could speak about him and his accomplishments. Capt Clovis Jones (05:37): Well, Dave Harris, just a principal gentleman, he was just outstanding and always he was a mentor, he was a good friend based on his experiences, he basically told us what to look out for and that was a time where the airlines use sickle cell trait testing to keep us from being hired. Yes, either you have sickle cell and one blood test says it all, but they would continue to test you to see if you had the trait. And that was one way that they would not bring us on board. Another was testing, so Dave Harris with American Airlines, he challenged that. So with the psychological testing, which had no barrier on you becoming a pilot. So he challenged that as well as the repeated blood testing to see if somehow if we didn't have the sickle cell trait with the first blood test, they would keep testing you hoping that you would show the trait and they could deny you hiring. So that was one of the milestones, and he was one of the presidents of the organization of black airline pilots. But just a principal gentleman Wilmer Leon (07:00): Mentioning the psychological testing, one would think someone with your background, Vietnam aviator, that all of the trials and tribulations that you went through overseas that the fact that you survived, that should be enough psychological testing to warrant you to be a commercial. I mean, if you can fly there, you can probably deal with passengers going between Dallas and wherever it is you're going to go. But that sounds as though that was another exclusionary process, not an inclusionary process. Capt Clovis Jones (07:40): Yeah, that's correct. That is correct. And when Marlon Green won his Supreme Court decision, Supreme that broke the barriers of us being kept out of the industry. He was hired but not trained, so he didn't get a chance to fly. So it was a delay even in that process. So there are a lot of delaying tactics that were used and there are those that are still out there. Wilmer Leon (08:07): Talk a little bit about Marlon Green. He was an Air Force aviator hired by Continental in I think 1957, but they rescinded his offer and then it took about six years for it to go through the Supreme Court, and the ruling was in his favor and sent a very wide message to the US airline industry about hiring. And I think he started flying for Continental in 65. Is that right? Capt Clovis Jones (08:39): Roughly around that time. I'm not sure exactly on the exact year or date, but you look at his background, he was well qualified to be hired, but then when they found out he was black, they rescinded it. So that's when he engaged in the lawsuit that wound up making his way to the Supreme Court. But this industry was supposed to be all white. Curtis Collins, a congressman from Illinois. She knew some of us filed it, and we talked about the challenges, trials and tribulations. So a congressional study was initiated and the University of Pittsburgh did that study, and it showed that the airline commercial airline industry wants to be all white, not a janitor, not a baggage handler or anything. Wilmer Leon (09:33): Even down to that level, Capt Clovis Jones (09:35): Down to that level. The other piece is that the Airline Policy Association Alpha had a clause in its bylaws that if you were black, you could not be a member. So even if an airline did hire you, you were not allowed on the property. So it was no point in them hiring you. Wilmer Leon (09:54): That sounds like the American Bar Association sounds like the American Dental Association. There were so many professional organizations. I know for example, my grandfather was a dentist. He graduated from Howard in 1911 and was the first African-American licensed dentist in New Orleans, but he could not join the American Dental Association, so he had to go to their conventions and wait tables so that he could be in the room while the latest advances in dentistry were being discussed. So it sounds like the airline industry was right along the same lines as so many of the other professional organizations in this country in terms of their restrictive, restrictive covenants and whatnot. Capt Clovis Jones (10:48): Well, that was just a reflection of America, what it was all about. We were to serve others and we were not to advance and we would to have restrictions on what we could do, what professions to go into. Nevertheless, with that in place, there was no profession that we were not proficient in. And as a point of history from Pineville, Louisiana, there was a gentleman by the name of Charles Frederick Page who had a flying machine. It was a lighter than air, kind of like a balloon, but it had directional control as well as a propeller, so it could move and change directions rather than just go up like a hot air balloon and let the wind take it where it would. 1903, you had a patent. The patent was finally granted in 1906. Well, here was a black man who was born during enslavement, taught himself how to read and write, invented this flying machine, filed for a patent and eventually was granted a patent. So we've been in and around the industry for a long, long time. Wilmer Leon (12:03): Over the past three years or so, we've been hearing a lot about DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and according to McKinsey and Company in the workplace, these are three closely linked values held by many organizations that are working to be supportive of different groups of individuals, including race, which is an artificial construct, but they list it, so I'll say it, ethnicities, religions, abilities, genders, and whatnot. With that being said, according to NBC, news Tech, billionaire and Tesla, CEO and SpaceX, founder Elon Musk has drawn a lot of recent criticism After he criticized efforts by United Airlines and Boeing to hire non-white pilots and factory workers, he claimed in a series of posts on X, that efforts to diversify workforces at these companies have made air travel less safe. Of course, he offered no evidence to support that claim because there is no evidence to support it, and he winds up getting into this exchange with people talking about it'll take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy. Do you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritize DEI hiring over your safety? And he then went on to say, this is actually happening. That post got 14 million views with just a few hours. I know you've got some ideas on the issue of DEI as well as some of Elon Musk's comments, and of course, we all know Elon Musk being a South African. He was obviously well-trained and well-versed. But your thoughts Capt Clovis Jones (14:08): Well, on the subject of DEI or as Elon Musk assembles, those D-I-E-V-I-E want to doc, first of all, when I hear the word diversity, basically it's a non-starter, and I don't like the term when it applies to black people, because black people have been in every industry. We have been from the White House to the outhouse, build a White House, build a capital, had engineers doing the building of the White House who were black, even though enslavement was the status of black folk in the country for the most part. Wilmer Leon (14:58): And to that point, design the city of Washington DC That's Capt Clovis Jones (15:01): Right, that's right. Wilmer Leon (15:02): Since you mentioned the capital in the White House design, the city of Washington DC after having designed the city of Paris. Capt Clovis Jones (15:08): Yes. Well, here you have us serving from the highest levels down to the lowest level and excelling. By the way, the first book on hospitality was written by a black man, and it is in the archives of the University of Massachusetts. Here's a successful man who basically set the standards for how you serve people in terms of accommodations as well as restaurant service. So we've been at the top of the games in every industry. We wouldn't have the space program that we have. We wouldn't have the internet that we have today. We wouldn't have self lubricating engines if it wasn't for black people wouldn't have turbocharges if it wasn't for black people. (15:54) So when I'm hearing this diversity piece, to me that's just the way the headcount, because now we can say we are diverse. We want to include everybody, and yes, they are, including everybody, because between all different groups and categories that HR departments have now, they can reach out and say, we have the most diverse work group because we have Pacific Islanders, we have Latinos, we have Africans, we have whatever other category you want to name. But then when it comes to the crux of fairness of black folks, there's an exclusion because you can hire all these others and fulfill your diversity claim, yet avoid hiring black people. So that's one of the reasons to me, if you are fair in your hiring and you have the standards set and you know what it is that you want, you're going to have a range of people from all colors, all genders if it's fair. So if it's not fair, then you have these made up constructs to basically for exclusion purposes. Now, that's my personal view. Wilmer Leon (17:07): Well, and to that point also, when you start looking at the categories and the qualifications or the demarcations within the categories, you start drilling down into, okay, you have 15 African-Americans. What positions do they hold? Is your CEO African-American is your CFO, African-American is your COO, African-American within your management structure and management chain within your elite classification of managers? Then all of a sudden we start to fight a different day. Capt Clovis Jones (17:44): Yes. One of the young fathers that I knew, he was asking me, I was flying for this company, he says, Clovis, why don't I have you as the chief pilot? I said, Hey, I don't have the complexion for the connection. So that ends that. Wilmer Leon (18:02): Did you fly President Mandela? Capt Clovis Jones (18:05): No, that was Captain Ray Doha. Wilmer Leon (18:08): Ray do. Oh, okay. Ray did that. Okay. Okay. Okay. (18:13) So give us a little bit about your background getting into the industry and overcoming the barriers that you had to overcome and how prevalent are those problems today? Because when I look at the data today, 90% of the pilots are still white male, 3.4% are African-American, 2.2% are Asian, and half of a percent are Hispanic or Latino. So those numbers tell me that we're still having a problem. In fact, I got a little bit ahead of myself because the question I was going to ask you to get into this conversation is we've spent a lot of time in the fifties and since the fifties singing we shall overcome. We can now board a plane and see African-American captains and first officers. Have we overcome? Capt Clovis Jones (19:21): By no means things have changed. There are things that are different. There are some things that are better, but the underlying system has just changed. So we still have this system where the overarching piece is that we're encapsulated to only hold certain positions, and that of course depends upon the company and the culture of the company, but we don't have, for example, desegregation. You had that and then you have the opening of opportunities for the airline at for minorities and women were considered a minority. So there were more white women, higher than black pilots, and that's still the case today. (20:05) So overcoming obstacles, my first day on the flight line to be trained as an army aviator, I had an instructor from the Northeast from either Vermont or New Hampshire, I don't recall exactly which. But en route to the helicopter for our first flight, he said to me, you look like a pretty good athlete. Do you know who Jackie Robinson is? I said, yes. Jackie's cousin lives down the street from me, says, well, I think you should get out of the army and go play baseball because black people don't make good pilots. And here's a person who is telling me that I shouldn't be a pilot and he's going to train me, but blacks don't make good pilots, so I should leave the program. So I knew what was in front of me. So I went to the flight commander and asked for a change of instructors, and the upshot of that conversation was, well, both of you are new. (21:03) He's a new instructor. You are his first student. You are a new warrant officer candidate, and this is your first flight, so it's going to look bad for both of you. And he wanted to know why. And I explained to him without saying, the guy's a racist. And he says he mulled over it for a second or two and says, this is what I'll do. I'll ensure that you have every opportunity that any of the other one officer candidates have in this program. And I said, okay, that's good. However, when I come back and ask for a change of instructors, I want a change of instructors, no questions asked. And that is what happened. This gentleman was, you can read the syllabus, you can understand what is to be done and you can mimic it, but there are certain standards or there are certain ways that the army wants you to fly. (21:59) And if you aren't trained to do that during your check rides, you get downgraded. He was teaching me wrong. So I had a progress ride. A young instructor who was about the same age as I was, was about 21 years old, and he'd been flying. He had his license when he was 16 to 17 years old. His came from a wealthy family and his family got him trained in the helicopter instructor and all that. He asked me to do a taxi, oh, this is not how we do it, asked me to do a takeoff. Oh, I got the aircraft. This is not how we do it. So he demonstrated every maneuver that he asked me to do because I was doing it as I had been trained to do it. When he showed me the way that I needed to do it in order to meet the standards that were expected of me, I did them as he demonstrated. (22:50) And at the end of the flight he says, I've got to talk to the flight commander. That's something not right here. You started this flight off unsatisfactory now, but you end it. You're above average. But I can't give you an above average because where you started, I just got to talk to the flight commander, and I just smiled. And so I said to myself, I already have. So my next day of flying, the Deputy flight Commander, Dick Strauss, need to give him props. And also the flight commander, Sam Countryman, Dick Strauss, we got into the helicopter, flew out to the stage field, we landed. He says, take it around the past three times and park it on a certain spot. And that's what I did. I soloed that day with this gentleman just flying with me from the main hella Ford at Fort Walters, Texas out to the stage field that we were operating from that day. (23:42) And at the end of my primary flight training, Dick Strauss showed me some things that you could do with a helicopter that were not in the syllabus. He said, it may come in handy one day, and it did for me because in a COBRA helicopter, which is know is heavy, I was an instructor giving an in-country orientation to a new pilot. And on very short final, we lost our 90 degree gearbox and tail rotor. And without a tail rotor, you do not have directional control in the helicopter. So we went from a nose up attitude to a nose down attitude spinning right, and it wanted to roll inverted left. And all of that last day of flying that Dick Straus showed me what the helicopter could do. Instinctively I did it. I stopped the turn by closing the throttle right rear cyclic to level the aircraft, pull the collective up, and we spawned about 1800 degrees like in about two seconds. But I was able to land the helicopter with just minimal damage. And I was told that's the first time that you'd had such a catastrophic failure that either the helicopter was not destroyed or the palace would not either killed or injured. (24:51) So everybody encounter is not against you, but you do have the remnants of the shadows of the echoes of you still have the echoes of slavery. You still have the echoes of containment of us being in certain categories, and there are people who really want to keep us there and some people who want to put us back there. So that is prevalent in our industry as well. Wilmer Leon (25:17): You're 21 years old, you're in the service, which is a hierarchical organization, and your instructor tells you that you need to leave the service and go play baseball. Capt Clovis Jones (25:30): Yes. Wilmer Leon (25:31): Where did you find the intestinal fortitude to manage that circumstance? By A, not punching him in the face, B, not saying anything derogatory to him and then punching him in the face. You see, I got to think about punching people in the favor, but no. So where did you get that ability to manage that circumstance to your favor, not your detriment? Capt Clovis Jones (26:09): Well, I learned firsthand about white racism and at four years old, and we had black insurance agents and white insurance agents come to the house to collect whenever that cycle was. And this one agent, he had a white car. My father had a black car, and so it happens that my father's car was parked in front of the house that day. He pulls up and he calls me over, and I was hesitant about going, but then I did go. He says, come over. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not going to do anything to you. He says, put your hand on my car. And I hesitantly raised my hand. So he put my hand on his car. He said, how does that feel? I said, it feels okay. He said, now, go touch your father's car. So I put my hand on my father's car, and because it was about 11 o'clock in the day, sunshiny day in the summer, it was hot. (27:02) I jerked my hand off the car. He said, that's what I wanted to show you. White is better than black. And from that point on, I didn't like that gentleman anymore. So I realized there are people who will be encouraging to you and people who will try to convince you that you should take some lesser position or that you are inferior to them. So with that background, it's like then I knew about the Tuskegee Avenue at that point. Plus one of my mentors, Carl Bohannan, who was the first black presidential pilot when I was in an infantryman, he was flying the flying cranes in Vietnam in the first cab division. So I had examples of excellent black aviators that I knew about. So with that, I'm thinking, this guy's totally out of his head, and I know he's not going to train me properly. And so that's why I went to the flight commander and asked for a change of instructors, and it worked out in the end, but I had to put up with this nonsense and even accused me of leaving, of causing a circumstance where the engine could fail because he said, I didn't put the Carter pin back in the oil cap, and the vibrations could have caused the cap to unscrew, and because we of flying, the wind would pull the oil out of the reservoir hints causing the engine to seize, and we would have to do a forced landing. (28:34) I know that I didn't do that, and that was the day that I asked for change of instructors Wilmer Leon (28:39): Because Capt Clovis Jones (28:39): This guy, if he's going to lie and say that I did something that I know I didn't do because I was meticulous about everything, but you just have to understand who you're dealing with. Wilmer Leon (28:50): That was my second question on this issue, which was the subjective nature of your instructor's evaluations. So knowing that in circumstances like you're articulating, there's the checklist that he would go through, but then there were also the subjective factors that would enable him to fail you if he so chose to because he didn't like the fact that you tied your shoes because you're right-handed versus tying your shoes because you're left-handed or whatever it might be. Speak to that, please. Capt Clovis Jones (29:32): Well, that was the case. In fact, one of my dearest friends who's now made transition, Robert B. Clark Jr. He and I started in the same class. We didn't graduate in the same class because Bob was terminated from flight training because his instructor said that he could not fly. However, Bob knew how to fly helicopters before he came to flight school. He had the syllabus, he knew everything, and he appealed it all the way to the Department of Army. And the base commander was asked to get involved. So he asked Bob, can you fly this helicopter? He says, yes. Well, let's go out to the airfield and let's go fly to the stage field to where your flight group is flying. He did. I mean, he was off for three months, got in the helicopter, flew out there, landed, and they went and talked to the flight commander. And also that instructor, that instructor was fired on the spot. Of course, the flight commander was trying to protect him because it was civilian pilots training us, and they were with Southern Airways based out of Birmingham, Alabama. So again, that cultural piece, Wilmer Leon (30:40): Was that Birmingham or Bombingham? Well, both. What year are we talking about? Capt Clovis Jones (30:47): We're talking about 1967. Wilmer Leon (30:49): Okay, we're talking Bombingham. Yes. Capt Clovis Jones (30:52): Yes. 1967. Wilmer Leon (30:54): Okay. Capt Clovis Jones (30:54): So you have people who don't want to see you there in the first place. And there was this rule, there's only going to be one black graduate per class, just one. I don't care how many start, there's only going to be one. But after complaints by Bob, by me and others about what the situation was, in fact, that was a program. You had these data sheets that you would answer your questions on when the final exam for any of the courses we were taking, and they could program things based on the way we were using social security numbers. Then even if we knew that we scored a hundred based on going down after the test was over and looking at what you had marked versus what the answers were, black pilots could only get in the eighties if you got everything right, you were in the low to mid eighties, you never got higher than 86 on any exam because if you were just average going through your flight training and you were excellent with your academics, you could wind up being in the running for honor graduate for that particular class. (32:10) So they program that the black pilots could not score 100 on all of the written exams. So that was another trick, and it was proven that that was the case. So there are all kinds of obstacles out there, but you just have to be well versed enough to understand and identify and just not take things. I saw during the civil rights era of where corporations would come and they'd say to people who had, do you have a college? Oh, you're different. They try to tell 'em, oh, you're a different kind of black person, and they give them jobs. So jobs that black people never had an opportunity to have, make the kind of money. And then you have some of these people who got that because people were demonstrating an industries and some people got killed. They said, well, I have to pick my fight. Well, no, the fight picked you now. Do you have the fortitude to stand up and fight the fight, or are you just going to IQS and say nothing and go along with maltreatment? Wilmer Leon (33:10): What you just discussed in terms of taking the exams and the particular scoring parameters that were set. One of the things that both of my parents would say to me repeatedly, but my mother was incredibly emphatic, you have to be three times as good, four times as smart, and worked seven times as hard because you're black in America. And with that, you'll only get half as far. Because when it came to education and grades, my folks didn't play, and that was their thing. You have no idea how hard you are going to have to work to be successful because you are black in America. And what you just articulated is the living example. And the other thing, when I went to law school, what I found out my first year was if I was in a class, actually it was my second year, I was in a contract negotiating class and kicked everybody's butt in the negotiating rounds that we would go through, only got a B. And what I found out was the a's were reserved for the third year, students who needed that A, there were only going to be a certain number of a's awarded, and they were reserved for the third year students who needed that grade to increase their GPA. Capt Clovis Jones (34:48): Yeah. The thing is, this system was not designed by us. It's not a fair system, but we have to learn how to navigate it. And unfortunately, some of what I call the under 40 crowd, young people who are 40 and under, maybe I could increase the year by another five years or so, they came up thinking that things are fair, and it's all about your qualifications and your abilities, but there is a whole nother system that governs whether you get an opportunity, whether you succeed or whether you fail. The thing is you need to be aware enough to navigate those challenges. And some of my young people, Wilmer Leon (35:30): Well, you just said, be aware enough. And what I have found is a number of my contemporaries, they don't want to have these discussions with their kids. They don't want to. When I taught at Howard, I would say to my students, you got to be three times as smart and workforce. Many of them, they never heard that before. Dr. Leon, what are you talking about? Well, that's life in America. Oh, no, no, no, not anymore. Oh, Dr. Leon, you don't understand. Capt Clovis Jones (36:07): Well, that's the brainwashing. That's the brainwashing that's taking place. Yeah, it's example. I used to wear a P 51 pen and I'd paint the cockpit black, and that was several of those black pilots who did that, and that was just honoring the Tuskegee ever because they were the first to people in mass to show that we could do this. But you had pioneers like Eugene, Jacque Bullock, who was a World War I fighter pilot, had to go to Germany, not Germany, to France, France, France. But he caught a ride to France on a German boat, learned to speak German in route, and he wound up during World War II of being in the French Underground because he had a nightclub in Paris. And the German officers wanted to come and enjoy the entertainment and the music and the atmosphere. So he got a lot of intelligence that he passed on to the French Underground, and he and Charles de Gall were good friends, and he was given Wilmer Leon (37:12): Awards, the Legion of Merit. Capt Clovis Jones (37:14): Say again, Wilmer Leon (37:15): The French Legion of Merit. Capt Clovis Jones (37:22): Well, I'd have to do the research, but Charles Gall came to the US and he wound up coming back to us, and he was an elevator man for the NBC where the NBC studios were in New York, and he was interviewed, but his background is phenomenal, and I happen to know his grandson and other members of his family, a cousin, (37:49) But he couldn't fly in America. But in France he did Bessie Coleman. And you have Chief Anderson, who was the civilian chief pilot for the Tuskegee Airman, who by the way, trained Captain Dhar. He taught himself how to fly. He wanted to fly. His father borrowed money from the white person that he worked for, bought a plane for his son. No one would teach chief how to fly, but he'd go to the airport every day and he'd listen to the white policies. They came back and talk about what they did was successful and the stupid stuff they did. And Chief would get it in his airplane every day, crank it up and taxi. And one day he taxied it fast enough that he lifted it off the ground. He said, now I got to figure how to land this thing. Eventually he did get some instruction from the Wright brothers, and I've had the opportunity to fly one flight with Chief. So I guess I'm one degree or two degrees away from the Wright brothers and my flight journey. But you have all those obstacles in a way. (38:57) You have other pioneers, Janet Bragg, Cornelius Coffee, you have Willow Brown, and there are any number of others that have pioneered the way for us. Chauncey Spencer, Edwin Wright, Dwight, the sculptor. He was chosen to be the first black astronaut, but again, he was a pilot, but then that didn't the astronaut program because they didn't want any blacks in the program. And he had difficulties there. But he wound up being followed his passion in business and with art, and he is one of the most prolific sculptors in the country and doing art eye kind of art for us to recognize our heroes and sheroes. Wilmer Leon (40:01): You had as a Morehouse man, you had a relationship with Dr. King. Capt Clovis Jones (40:08): Yes, yes, I did. Wilmer Leon (40:09): If you could elaborate on that a little bit, please. Capt Clovis Jones (40:12): Yes. During the Albany movement, I would go down and listen to Dr. King's speech almost every night that I could. So I would catch a ride with teachers who lived in Albany, but worked in Dawson, walked to the church, and because we were young, they would put us young people right on the front row below the pulpit. And my minister of my church and Dr. King were Morehouse classmates. They graduated at the same time. So he said, well, when you see Martin again, you tell him I said, hello. I did. So that started a relationship with Dr. King and I, and after my tour in Vietnam, my foxo buddy invited me to Chicago to work on a political campaign, which I did, and that was this organization called the New Breed Committee. And they had a bunch of black organizations that were meeting with Dr. King on this one particular night when they were planning to march through downtown Chicago. (41:17) So I go to Hyde Park, and who do I sit next to? Dr. King. So we reignited our friendship, and he was saying during the meeting, we need some young people to lead our march through downtown Chicago. And I said, well, hey, I'll do it. And some of my Vietnam buddies, and we led that march through downtown Chicago. And then when I did leave Chicago and went to Morehouse for the second time, he would come, well, for the first time actually, because that was 1966, he says he would come to the college, Hey, come by the office and talk to me. And I just thought he was being nice. And that's one regret that I have that I did not take him up on just going to his church office and sitting down and having a conversation with him. But I did become good friends with his press secretary, junior Griffith. So he and I would have wonderful conversations, but I'd see Dr. King often come into Morehouse and every time come by the office and talk to me, come by the office and talk to me. And that's something that I didn't do because it's like he's just being nice. But now I wished I had Wilmer Leon (42:29): You do your tour in Vietnam, you go to Chicago, Dr. King asks you to lead a protest in Chicago. How did you reconcile what you fought for in Vietnam versus what you were subjected to when you got back home? Capt Clovis Jones (42:56): Well, during those days, it was tough with Vietnam veterans coming back didn't call us baby killers and spat on us. It was no reconciliation. Thing is is that Vietnam was dangerous. Being black in America was dangerous. So it was no different than walking through downtown Chicago for a purpose for black people in America than going to Vietnam, supposedly fighting for democracy when all they wanted to do was have their own independence. Because Ho Chi Minh came to America and he was trying to speak to the President of the United States, and that never did happen for whatever the reasons are. I mean, there are a number of stories as to why it never happened. And Ho Chi Minh lived in Harlem. He worked in a restaurant, but he lived in Harlem, so he understood the plight to black people in the country. That was one patrol we on. You have North Vietnamese out in the middle of nowhere, and they see that the unit is mostly black, wave at each other and keep going. Why are we going to fight each other out here? For what? So it was dangerous. It was dangerous in Vietnam. It was dangerous here in America because then as well as now you get in the wrong situation, in the wrong part of town, you can wind up dead. Wilmer Leon (44:21): You can wind up dead in the right part of town. Capt Clovis Jones (44:23): Well, look, you can wind up dead in your own house with no consequences. Nobody held accountable, nobody indicted. And Dr. King's last book, where Did We Go From Here, Wilmer Leon (44:38): Chaos or Community? Capt Clovis Jones (44:40): He said that shooting was the new lynching, and that is what we're living through right now. Wilmer Leon (44:49): I asked you that Vietnam question because I had an uncle, senior Master Sergeant George W. Porter, who was a Tuskegee Airman, an original and flew World War II and Vietnam, and I'm originally from Sacramento, California, and Uncle George lived around the corner. And so the Sacramento Kings honored him at a basketball game, and he could barely walk. By this time, he was about 89, maybe 90, he could barely walk. But when they played the national anthem, he stood up so fast and so erect. And so when it was all over, I said, oh, help me understand something. He said, what's that son? I said, how is it that with all that you went through? And he used to tell me all these stories about all the stuff that he was subjected to. I said, how is it after all that you went through, you still have the reverence that you have for this flag? And he looked at me like I had three heads, and he said, boy, that's my flag. I fought for that flag. I risked my life for that flag just because they want to claim it doesn't make it theirs. Do you understand me? Yeah, unc, I got it. And so that's why I asked you that question. Capt Clovis Jones (46:30): Well, just on the question of flags, black people live under a lot of different flags, but almost anywhere you go in the world, we're treat it the same. So just to me, a flag is just a marker. It is not something to be reverenced. Yeah. America treated me poorly in some instances, but America gave me opportunities as well. So just need to understand. This is where, to me, the principle that's going to liberate us all is where is the fairness? Where's the fairness in this whole process? Because you have communities that have been deliberately destroyed by local, federal, and state governments because black people were successful. Jacksonville, Florida, for an example, highway five, right through the black community, destroyed it. Other places, Wilmer Leon (47:28): Oakland, Detroit, Cleveland, urban Renewal, and the interstate highway system has decimated African-American communities. Capt Clovis Jones (47:41): Yes. And you have off ramps to get into the community, but you don't have on-ramps for people to leave the community to get back on the freeways. Wilmer Leon (47:52): The freeway in New Orleans that goes past, I don't remember the name of it, but it goes past the Superdome. Yeah. That's another example of how that has decimated the communities. Capt Clovis Jones (48:07): Yes, yes. And that's by design. And people talk about the government. Well, the thing is the government, you have to demand treatment from government, from anyone who have laws. And of course, you have to understand laws are things that are written on paper, but the real law is whatever that judge says, and you can appeal it if you want to, but you might fight for who knows how long and how many different appeals to different courts. But the laws, whatever that judge says, look at Plessy versus Ferguson. Separate, but equal is the law of the land. Then you have the 54 Brown versus Board of Education, no, separate. It is not equal. Okay. Same document, different judges. So when that happened, in my mind it's like, wait a minute. That's something not right about this whole picture because why you have the same document. Where is the fairness in all of that? What is really right? And now you have school desegregation, but you have most of the teachers a female, and they are not black. And you have this whole school system of charter schools being created by white women who didn't want their children to go to school with black children. So you still have people say, oh, we have overcome. Oh, it is better now. Yes, it's different, but in a lot of ways it's the same. Wilmer Leon (49:40): So what do you see as being the, if we look at the, again, I gave the data a little earlier, about 3% of commercial pilots are African-American. The system that they're flying under down does not seem to be that much different from the system that you flew under when you were in the commercial space. Capt Clovis Jones (50:10): Well, that's true. You have airlines having their own programs, which we tried to get them to do decades ago. They didn't do it until they have the critical pilot shortage. But it was oap that had the first US based flight training program from no Time to getting you into the commercial space. That was a venture between oap, the organization of Black Airline Palestine and Western University. With the support of Kellogg and the transportation department. You had foreign pilots being trained from no time to becoming first officers for British Airways, Emirates and United Arab Emirates, and Air Lingus and Ireland. I'm saying, well, wait a minute. Why don't we create a program where black people who want to become pilots, who have degrees go through the interview process, go through the testing process, and if they qualify and this meets the criteria for what the airlines want, then let's train them and let's move them into commercial airline space. Well, that program lasted until money was diverted from training black pilots to buying airplanes. And now the airlines are replicating what was done by BAP and University Western Michigan University. Wilmer Leon (51:46): Is there a sense of comradery today amongst black pilots that there was when you were coming through the system, or do many of them feel a sense of accomplishment and a sense of success and participation in the system to where that sense of comradery isn't deemed necessary? Hopefully that made sense. Capt Clovis Jones (52:16): Well, kind of both are true at the same time. Two opposites can be true at the same time. The younger group, if they kind of know each other, then there's that comradery, Hey, we're going to support each other. We're going to party together. Hey, we're going to have each other's backs when during the ups and the downs and all of that. But among those of us who came along early, we would talk about whoever was being put upon by the system or by that airline or by something we knew about it, and we would support, because if something was happening at one airline to a black pilot, we look for it to happen at our airlines. So how did we outmaneuver that? How did we navigate those systems? How did we learn from those challenges so that we wouldn't even be confronted with those issues? (53:12) But now, the young people who know each other, they tend to have that camaraderie. But with us, Hey, if you were a brother, and when sisters black women became pilots, we embraced and supported them because we knew how tough it was going to be for all of us young people. They think, oh, well, hey, it is fair. And the story I wanted to tell about the pen I used to wear with the P 51 and with the cockpit painted black. Oh, there was a white pilot and a black pilot, and they were both academy graduates, air Force Academy graduates. And the white pilot said, oh, Tuskegee Airmen. I said, oh, yeah, yeah. I said, they're some of my heroes. And the black pilot says, what? (54:05) And then the white pilot told him, oh, the Tuskegee Airmen did this, this, this, and this. He said, oh, well, I guess I need to brush up on my history. I said, yes, you do. I mean, you a Force Academy grad, and you don't know who the Tuskegee airmen are. That gives you some idea of the deficit in our history that is not being taught among our own people. And some people think that because they have a job and some money in the bank or millions in the bank, that they are immune. None of us are immune from how this system operates when it operates against us. And we need to own our own. We need to train our own. We're at a point now where there's no way that we should be dependent on somebody else to teach or train our own. Because as I experienced doing with my first stint with my first flight instructor, you can be taught wrong. (55:09) The subject can be covered with the items that need to be covered, but you can be taught wrong. And sometimes, for example, just one degree off on a heading for 60 miles, you are one mile off course. So small deviations can cause you to be way off course if you continue on that path. So we really need to know our own history. We need the truth to be taught so that our young people understand, number one, who they are to this social system that we live under and who we are to each other, that we'd better have each other's back and hold each other accountable. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Just because you're black, you don't get a chance. And all this I don't snitch. Well, the thing is, is that what you need to do is hold somebody accountable for bad behavior and destructive behavior in our own community. And we need to understand that our communities are precious and that we need to maintain the land that we have, the homes that we have in our communities, because others will come in and you won't recognize it five, 10 years from now. Wilmer Leon (56:22): I'm chuckling, I'm debating. I'm going to go ahead and bring this up. Just to your point. When the Willis situation developed in Atlanta, I did a show criticizing her for the horrific mistake that she made resulting in the process that she had to go through, and the weapon I took mostly from black women because all I was saying was that behavior is indefensible, especially at that level. She's playing at the level of the game where she's going after the former face of the empire. Capt Clovis Jones (57:13): Yes. Wilmer Leon (57:17): And I made the comment, you have now brought this on yourself. You couldn't keep your panties on, and homeboy can't keep his fly up, man, they came at me, but I hate black women. I have a colonized mind. Oh, who am I to? Oh, because one of the points I made was the community should not be tolerating this type of behavior. We don't want to go and tell our daughters or go and tell our sons that they're supposed to engage like this in the workplace. Oh, man. It was brutal. It was Capt Clovis Jones (57:55): Brutal. And you can attest to this. There's a course that you have in ethics in law school. So hey, where's that? I like the philosophy of Maynard Jackson, first black man of Atlanta. He says, his philosophy was if you are close enough to see the line that you're not supposed to cross, you're too close. And young people need to understand that, hey, you can take risks, but don't take risks on things that are going to come back and hurt you. We used to be told there's always somebody watching you and they were talking about God, the creators. There's always somebody watching you. Well, now there's always somebody watching you because you have these devices that your cameras can be turned on, microphones turned on track wherever you are. Wilmer Leon (58:53): And what was one of the things that they got her on? Cell phone records? Capt Clovis Jones (58:57): Yes. Wilmer Leon (58:58): Yes. Cell phone records. Yes. Well, you said that you only visited him so many. Oh, but his phone seemed to wind up in your driveway 55 times. Now, when I worked in corporate America, at one point, I taught sales ethics to the sales team, and my line to them was the appearance of impropriety in many instances could be worse than the impropriety itself. So just ask yourself, how does it look? And if it looks bad, it's going to be bad. Capt Clovis Jones (59:45): Simple enough. Wilmer Leon (59:46): Hey, simple enough. You and I did a show last week, and as a result of that show, you got a phone call from a young man who was very, very encouraged by what you had to say, a lot of which we have covered in this conversation. And he said to you that you, through your story, let him know he had a lot of work to do in his community. Could you elaborate on that, please? Capt Clovis Jones (01:00:20): Yes. Well, it's a group of us who are in narrative and learning about our history, understanding the principles, Africana studies that no matter where in the world you are, you're an African and your black person, and there's a whole system that's designed not to have you rise above a certain level. How do we recapture? When do we start our history? We started in 1619. We've cut ourselves out of millennia of culture, religion, spirituality, science, inscribed on the pyramid walls. Our people have depicted surgical instruments that are used to this day. So the Greeks did not invent medicine. Hippocratic was not the one who basically founded medicine, not the father of medicine. It was African folk folks that look like you and I. So with that, where's our mindset and what are we waiting on? So it encouraged him to do the work in the community. (01:01:35) So one of the things that I've learned through the years is that for a group of people to make progress or to make any change, good or bad, you have the square root of that number of people say 300,000. Well, you need 600 people, like-minded folks moving in the same direction, maybe not always agreeing, but you're like-minded in making things better, and you're doing the work on the ground to make it happen with whatever your talents are. That shifts the entire population. And so he talked about, Hey, we need to find a way to make this happen so that we can do our work on our own, teach our children. And he's on the ground doing just that. So he said, Hey, I figured it out. I know what we need to do. This is what we need, and these parts of town, now we have the template. Now we got to do the work to make it happen. (01:02:38) And one of the elders said, Hey, we already have the teams in place. It's just a matter of educating the teams to get them to think outside of the borders that they live in and expand their minds and understand that, hey, we were educating folks long before we came to America. We had culture. We had all kinds of things. Now, again, I have to say that everything about Africa is not glor flyable, but there are some things that are so you pick the best because when you do your best, you're going to get better and you're going to advance things rather than destroy things. Wilmer Leon (01:03:22): Captain Clovis Jones, Jr. Thank you so much, sir. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your commitment. Thank you for your work. Thank you for joining me today. Capt Clovis Jones (01:03:33): You're more than welcome. It is my pleasure. And thank you for having me. Wilmer Leon (01:03:37): Well, I'm going to have you back, folks.

Mitchell 0:00  People get really frustrated and they burn out and they say it's all a hoax. But really when it comes to the art of manifestation, there's a lot of grit and tenacity that is required like you absolutely have to have a vision. You absolutely have to believe like the loose stuff is real, but it has to be backed up and substantiated with action, and ongoing action, especially when it looks like it's not working.Lesley Logan 0:20  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:02  Hi, hi. Okay, you guys. This woman needs no introduction. You've already heard her on the podcast before but we're already having her back because she's phenomenal and multifaceted in so many ways. Nikole Mitchell, thank you so much for being here. One, we had the best time in person with you last time and we talked about so many things. So if you missed that episode, it's linked in the show notes go listen to it. However, one of the things that I have been following you and just loving you talk about is manifestation like making our visions happen. And so I wanted to bring you back and I wanted to like nerd out and go deep because I think people can get a little woowoo on the manifestation thing. But I guess before we go right into that, maybe just a quick little two-second, two-minute intro like who you are and what you rock at. Just in case you haven't listened to the last one. Nikole M. Mitchell 1:49  Yes. So thank you, Lesley, for having me. I'm Nikole Mitchell. I'm known as many things one of those things is past return stripper. I'm a life coach. I've gone from food stamps to seven figures, and I'm really good at helping people unlock their power, their pleasure and their profit.Lesley Logan 2:04  Yeah, I I love how concise all that is. And like each one has its own like life story. I guess like, the I feel like the only way any of those could have happened was because of visualization and true, like clarity around what you want. So maybe, I hear people say I'm manifesting this. They throw that word around a lot. What are some, like myths around manifesting that you hear are some misconceptions about it? Nikole M. Mitchell 2:33  Yes. I think one of the biggest one is like if you just say it, it'll happen. If you think it once, it will happen. Yes, it's just like a one and done kind of thing. And people get really frustrated. And then they burn out. And they say it's all a hoax. But really, when it comes to the art of manifestation, there's a lot of grit and tenacity that is required, like you absolutely have to have a vision, you absolutely have to believe like the woowoo stuff is real. But it has to be backed up and substantiated with action, and ongoing action, especially when it looks like it's not working. That to me, I found my own personal journey the manifestation is right when everything looks like it's falling apart. That has always been my catalyst to the greater things. But most people freak out, everything's falling apart, you're thinking this doesn't work. Not only does it work, it's made everything worse. And that's when they bail. It's literally three feet from the goal. They're right for like right there. And they quit right before the finish line. And it kills me every time. So like I've seen this happen so many times that shift that rearranging that feels like a disaster. It's a divine rearranging means you're right there, stay the course.Lesley Logan 3:35  Yeah, I can I like so when we, this house that we're sitting in, when I like I spent time in April with one of my coaches and when she had this whole, like quantifying your vision, so it wasn't just enough to like have a vision like she had all these questions. All these prompts. We're to quantify it, we had actually go How much does all these things that we want in this dream life cost? Because not to scare you to be like you can't ever afford that. But to like, have clear goals around what that is you can actually say yes to that. And so I was very clear on this, like five bedroom house, I had this yard like I would be had it all pictured and Brad and I were on the same page and we came to Vegas, you guys and the real estate agents took all these houses and I was like none of these are the vision and how did I get this so wrong? Like I felt like I was so wrong about it. And we got in the car kind of bummed because we first we rented a car to come to Vegas to see these houses cuz we didn't have a car. And we got in the car we're like, let's just drive to where we fell in love with Vegas first and then like drive around until we find something. And I remember being on the phone with someone and I was just kind of like at a loss. We came back to LA we hadn't found anything but I just hadn't couldn't give up on this goal. And I wanted to move by June 1st and this is like nine days before June 1st and I'm on the phone with her I'm like I can't be wrong about this. Like I know I have had the vision I'm so clear and I know everything that I it's going to cost we can afford all of this like everything is ready. But I didn't find it and I don't understand. And I got off the phone with her. And I was like, I just can't be wrong. I know I'm not wrong about this. I opened my phone and there was an email from a real estate agent like, I think I found this one house for you. And you guys there were staying in the house. And you know, no one was everyone said, you can't move in nine days. I'm like, no one moved in nine days, we moved in nine days. But I think there was that moment where I could have just given up and we we did not we like we kind of get through so I feel like that is the heart that is the hardest part. What do you do when you are like in everything is a mess and like you're like, you I mean, you're, you're so equipped that you know that it's going to work out but like what did what are some tools that you use to like, when everything feels like it's falling apart? Nikole M. Mitchell 5:42  I still panic. Like, as a professional manifester I do feel like I've really nailed the art of it. I still panic. I call it my holy tantrums. Like I throw divine fits where I like, I'll punch pillows, I'll curse the universe. I'll be so mad. I was like I know these laws. I know how this works, why the f this is not happening yet? Why the f does it look like everything's falling apart? Why do things have to fall apart like I am so like, direct with the divine because I know the universe can handle it first of all. And second of all, it does something in me when I can get all that rage out and not have to pretend like I'm okay with it. It does something to me, once I get it out. I come back. But I found when I tried to keep in to be proper and to be appropriate and to like be a person of faith and trust, like it would just boil under my skin. So I've really found that having a tantrum really helps me get it out of my system without letting me quit.Lesley Logan 6:36  Okay, thank you for saying that, I have I have to throw the tantrum. And then sometimes I'm like, why do I throw tantrums all the time? Like why can I just like, get to the point where it's after the tantrum. But there's something about like, if you're not going to fight for it, you know, like Nikole M. Mitchell 6:53  It shows how much you care about it. It's like we have this idea like Zen, like I'm just always gonna be at peace, and it's totally fine. But when you really care about something, and you're so passionate about it, and your your heart is screaming, that this is meant for you. It doesn't make sense that you'd be calm, it makes sense that you would panic and be mad and fret because you care so deeply. And this is what I love about it. It just that tantrum communicates how committed you are to that vision. And it's it's, it's really is a genuine spot of misery to know what it's meant for you and to not be there yet. And it's in that state of misery. It's temporary, but gosh, it feels eternal. When you're in it. Can you stay the course long enough to not quit nine days before that house showed up or whatever the goal you're calling in? Because it is temporary, but it's because you care so much, you know that is meant for you. It's gonna cause you to throw some tantrums.Lesley Logan 7:44  Yeah. I love that. Okay, you said this calling in? Yeah. Can you explain what you mean by that? Because I think that that's probably a part of manifestation most people don't do.Nikole M. Mitchell 7:55  So for me. So I think we're maybe a little different. I do way better manifesting things, I don't know the logistics around things I don't know the numbers like I like to get so dreamy in my head that I have no idea how on earth this could ever happen. And the more I try to figure out the how the more I go crazy. So then my goal is to be like such a magnet that it just it is forced to shoot my reality like literally pulls it in. And I almost view it as like the split through fabric in time like this whole visualize it. And like my hand grabbing the future and pulling it for like it gets to be mine now. It was interesting, when I was flying into Vegas, today, I always journal on my flights, or I read old journals. It's like my time like as I'm elevating literally, I elevate energetically. Lesley Logan 8:38  Oh, that's so fun. Nikole M. Mitchell 8:39  It's my favorite ritual. So like, I'm very careful as like, as I'm with you rise up higher and like I am rising higher my life and making more money, having more success, I'm having more fun, like it is such a symbol for me like what's coming my way. So it says reading an old journal and I read what I'd written in 2021. I'm like in 2021, I'm going to be a million dollar woman. And it was in 2022 that I became a million dollar woman. But I was like, Oh my gosh, like back then I had no concept of how I'd make a million dollars. I just knew I was meant to make a million dollars, I had a heart for it. I had a vision for it. And I declared it and over time as you take inspired action and you try different things and you put yourself out there like it will find its way to you so for me it's less about me trying to chase it down and force it to happen. It's more of like I surrender to this desire. I show the f up for it. And then I let the universe surprise me with how it shows up.Lesley Logan 9:29  Yeah, I think I'm I definitely do the big picture vision. And the only that quantify was the first time I ever did it. The only reason that helped me is because I actually grew up since I grew up with no money. I've never had money and actually six so this year was my 10th year anniversary when I was homeless for the third and last time. So like I actually was just like you know when you like I'll buy a house like I never even knew like how much money one would need for that. So doing that has allowed me to know, okay, I have to make X number of dollars. And y'all, we made it the next weekend. So like, but like, I didn't go into that with the I'm gonna make this like I was like, we have this thing and it can do that, and I'm gonna keep that vision in life. So I think, but I do, but I do like that youI like that elevating up, I've got this new, I got a new remarkable tablet guys here to hear me talking about all the time because I can't read my own writing, which is why I've had I've stopped journaling because I can't read it. But I hate that I've stopped journaling, because that's when I have been the most clear about what I want. So my we had (inaudible) on the show, and she has one I was at her house in the UK. And she's I was like, Can I just try it? You guys, it can read my own horrible writing. I'm lefty, itcan read it. So it's on its way to this house right now. And I'm like, good. That's what I mean. I knew ritual on planes because I love that. Nikole M. Mitchell 10:50  Do you know, the reason I actually started this is back. So I was on food stamps for nine years. And I made this intention that because traveling, I couldn't afford it. And I was afraid that when I would travel, I was losing money, right? This was my mindset back then very traditional, very lack based. And I want to believe the principle right of the law of multiplication, that anytime you circulate, spend or invest money, it always comes back to multiply so very much direct that towards travel. So I very intentionally said whenever I travel, I always make more money, I have money making ideas, I make connections clients hire me like so I very intentionally every time I feel I'm journaling and I'm journaling kind of saved my life because I'm like, I'm spending this money. I'm on food stamps. This is so irresponsible. My heart says this is what I'm meant to do. So I'm journaling like, I'm a wealthy woman, I make millions of dollars, massive success, like massive fame, like almost as like a plea to God. Like I'm doing this as a commitment to my future self into who I'm becoming I refuse to stay where I am. And that ritual is now carried on for five years. Like it's become my most sacred time to remember who I am as I elevate as a reminder that we are always evolving and transforming and I've only just gotten started.Lesley Logan 11:57  I love that. Okay, so I want to know how what, because I feel like I can picture you there and I am because I've had similar situations. How do you write I am this when you're not that yet? Like what is the what is what do you have to tell yourself or believe like, what's that? Because I feel like that's being it until you see it. And that's my manifestation like so many people like I believe I am a million dollar person. But if you are on food stamps, like there is there's dissonance there that the brain is you know, there's a brain there that means like you're not so how did you how do you overcome that?Nikole M. Mitchell 12:30  So for me for my truth, let me know if this resonates with you, Lesley and those of you listening? I actually find when I get still and I declare these statements. They feel like the truth is truth I could speak me on food stamps felt like a fraud. That actually felt like a fraud me wanting a million dollars did not like when I got really still since I was a young girl. I've wanted to be famous, I wanted to be rich, I've wanted to be successful, it was never allowed in the spaces I grew up in that was never looked up when I was very much looked down upon very much shamed and shunned and so I quickly and quietly stuffed those desires down. So when I got older and started learning manifestation, and owning these desires have always had it felt like coming home. And sure this was your brains like you're not that but more than not it was like It felt good to breathe until breathe life into and speak into existence what I've always wanted. And the frustration the frustration was, why am I this when I meant to be that? Why am I in food stamps when I meant to be a millionaire? Why? Why am I struggling at home when I am meant to be a CEO? Like this. this is the fraud. This is truth. And so it became easier like to really own it. And I think that's what people need is permission to own the audacity and the size of your dreams. Because we're always taught to shrink to make it palatable for me to be like I want to be a millionaire would never have flown in my family, in my circles or in my church. So I keep that quiet. But what would it look like for us to believe in each other's size of our dreams and our audacity and ability to manifest it to become it to achieve it? It would make it so much easier for people to speak it aloud own it and I think call it in.Lesley Logan 14:06  Okay. So many just different gems. Everyone has to rewind and go back because I want to listen, I love all of it. But I love that you share what it is that the life you're living was actually the fraud. That I think is actually most people's existence, but they don't they think it's real. Nikole M. Mitchell 14:23  Yes. And this is the power of the illusion. Like it's strongest fog. It's like when you're on food stamps and you can't pay your bills and you're crying I would cry myself to sleep I'm starving except such severe anxiety from not able to provide for our family like it feels as real as anything. And so this is where I had to work really hard at finding two minutes of peace to find the the teeny tiny kernel of truth and my soul. Where like that whisper that would not go away that said you were meant for more than this, Nicole. This is not all there is but it was quiet enough to where I think a lot of people stuffed it down, ignore it and convincing them selves. This is as far as they're gonna get. This is how it's always going to be. But for those of us brave enough to water, that kernel to water, that seed to let it grow a little sprouts within you, and you're going to feel crazy, people are going to tell you like, don't don't raise your hopes be willing to lose them. Like, be realistic. Yeah, I don't want to be realistic. Because at the end of the day, I don't want to realistic life. I want a mind-blowing life. So I'd have mind-blowing beliefs about mind-blowing possibilities, if that's what I actually want. So the more I watered it, the more I started to feel it, the more I started to identify it, the more I started to experience it. But you have to intentionally cultivate that, because it will not happen on its own with all the odds you're facing. Lesley Logan 15:37  Yeah, because your internal voice is just yours and every other voice around you of all the people and all their fears and all the protection all those people who haven't listened to their voice and generation. Telling you something (inaudible) I think that's so cool. Okay, so how did you listen to your voice? Did you know it was your voice like this might sound crazy, but like, I feel like when I first heard my own voice, I remember who is that? You guys, I remember driving on the one on one freeway, as in my last relationship. And I heard myself say, Dear God, can you just have him break up with me because I don't actually know how to get out of this. And I'm going who is talking?Nikole M. Mitchell 16:20  But it's so true. Like, we've become so disconnected from our own truth and our own voice that it does feel foreign. And then we've been taught to not especially as women, and if especially if you're from a marginalized community, if you're a person of color, if you're queer, if you're disabled, like you've been taught to not trust your body, you've been taught to not trust your desires, you've been taught to not trust your intuition. So when you're working, you're trying to find your voice again, there is a lot of doubt, and there is a lot of confusion. But the more you just practice and try it will become clearer and clearer. So what I did in the beginning, when I didn't have my voice, I clung on to the person whose voice resonated with me. And that like kind of woke up my voice the more I heard them speak the more I read what they wrote, the more I listened to their live streams on like, I could feel her coming alive in me. And then back then I had my kids were really little have three kids and I was exhausted, and I'm still nursing and all were so broken, everything's so stressful. And I'm not a morning person. So the only time I could afford peace and sanity in my life, I would set my alarm two minutes, literally two minutes before my kids got up. I couldn't do five I couldn't do 30 minutes, but I'm not I'm not that extreme. I'm, I need my sleep. But then I laid two minutes. And I would just I would visualize being a wealthy woman, I would visualize the big home I would have I'd visualize living in the state of my dreams. And it felt crazy considering my circumstances. But those two minutes eventually became five minutes eventually became my tradition back then was every time I was at a red light, because driving all the time, I would stop and I'd visualize and I would start crying because I could see it and feel it and smell it and taste it so clearly, the light would turn green, I'd snap back to reality and go so I would incorporate these moments is trigger it's like a red light or flying on a plane. Who are you really Nikole? What is your truth? What do you want? Remember that above all the noise that you're facing right now.Lesley Logan 18:07  Okay, so some of the things I love about this first of all, y'all, when you if you do this right before you wake up, there's a reason why morning pages are called morning pages and you're supposed to do them as soon as you wake up. And I have people go, what can I do after I have coffee? No, you're because it says in the morning, why? Your theta it's like there's a wave. It's the it's you're almost still in hypnosis. So it's actually when the best time to do meditation, visualization, journaling, because there's just the the part of your brain that's actually still kind of doing the work is the one that's in that's I'm gonna be wrong. But I had a hypnotherapist on here. It's it. It's like almost hypnotic. And so you can actually really retrain your brain rewire your brain to what it is you want to see. The other thing I love about it is you're doing small doses, so it's not, you're not changing your entire life. 30 minutes is way too much. Y'all retiming habits, he will even tell you, you cannot go from zero to 30 minutes on anything, no matter how much you want it. The other thing I love is that like you're spending more and more time trying to hear your voice and see your thing and it throughout the day because that's the only way to find the evidence that the universe is out there. So you can be the magnet that you're saying and like to go back to manifestation the only way you can magnet anything in is if you can actually see that oh, that's that's the turn I'm supposed to make. And you can only trust that turn because you've seen it so many times in your in your visions.Nikole M. Mitchell 18:07  I would write affirmations down on sticky notes and plastered them all over my kitchen, my bathroom, my hallways my bedroom literally everywhere I walked because I just I had to inundate my psyche that was convinced I would be poor for the rest of my life that possibilities exist up leveling exists. Manifestation exists. Wealth exists for Nicole not just I felt like it existed for everyone but me and then friends would come over and I'd tear through my house to tear all the sticky notes down because I couldn't afford anyone's kickback. I couldn't afford anyone making fun of me because I was so fragile at this and I was such a baby like it not an insult like a beginner. And so I would take them all down and no one's ever left I've classroom backup like I was very protective myself the first year when I was learning how to manifest and visualize a different future for myself. So anything you can do count every small thing and I teach to my clients it will compound like your cup is going to fill fill, fill, fill fill, and then it's going to spill over into up on it. So if you do those sticky notes, you take two minutes here a minute at the stoplight, it all adds up and it will help you get where you're meant to be.Lesley Logan 20:26  Yeah. Thank you for bringing back up and we talked about this more in the first episode we had you on was just like protecting you have to you have to protect this beginner this new version of you, whatever it is, because you we are you don't have the muscle to like articulate always, like, why you're doing what you're doing. And anyone who could act like even if it was a simple question, like why do you do this and it doesn't even have to have the tone of negativity. It could just be curiosity. But if you're if you don't feel like you have the words to say it in a way that feels confident that could actually keep you from putting them back up. So I love that brought that back up. Okay. So manifesting. Obviously you do visualize there's that but like, it can't just be okay speak into existence like the secret which everybody was like all in I think my own family gotten to the secret which I thought was very interesting for a moment there like speak it out, guys speak it out. But what, but it's also combined with as you said, grit and tenacity. So how do you do you you write these things down? Do you put them somewhere? And then you call them in? Like, what are those looking like.Nikole M. Mitchell 21:32  So it's easier to call something and the more it's normalized in your brain in your body. So when I was poor, I wanted I had no idea what wealth was like. And so I started going to like fancy cafes just to sit and I'd order the cheapest thing on their menu and then I remember one time, like I'm going to order the most expensive and is a latte that had gold flakes on it, like 24 karat flakes. I sat there I'm like, I'm so rich right now but like just to normalize oh, people do this every day. I can afford one latte a month people do this everyday. I go to the lobbies of super rich hotels. I felt like such a fraud. I was like waiting to get caught like you miss what are you doing here? Like I no one cares. It's a freaking hotel. But it just showed what an outsider I felt like when it came to beautiful things to wealth to elegance to glamour. And so like I started to expose myself, I would make vision boards right literally like old school sky. I'm like printing off million dollar homes from California and printed off beach sunsets and plenty off dollar signs and productive number of money I want to make some day. I started like, one time to my girlfriend. I'm like, I want to meet a millionaire. I never met one before and that felt like an alien from space. Like there's so few and far between. They probably don't exist. I hear they exist. I've never seen one in my real life. And now, almost everyone I know in my life is a millionaire. It is crazy. Lesley Logan 22:44  It's crazy. Y'all it is insane. How many millionaires are out there? In fact, now it's like that's not even enough. Like the billionaires like,Nikole M. Mitchell 22:52  Yeah, millionaires. I'm like, that's cute. Before it was like, woahLesley Logan 22:56  No, but, if you haven't like I only got it. You're taking me back in time because I there's certain things I would do to like, make sure that I could tell myself I was wealthy like even when I was homeless. I ate at Whole Foods. Yeah. And I went to the I went to the salad bar guys, and I have no idea how much it was gonna cost. But like I was like, nope, I am not. I am not someone who is going to have ramen. I don't even know how I get gluten-free ramen. But I'm not going to have ramen for lunch. Like, I'm going to have a regular meal. I'm going to sit out here in Brentwood, while celebrities walk out of that Whole Foods. Not because I wanted to be that was I wasn't actually manifesting being famous, but I wanted to live and be welcomed in that neighborhood. And I wanted to stop like my manifestation was like, I will no longer get an apartment somewhere because that's what I can afford. I will get an apartment somewhere because that's where I want to live. And that was like my thing and I would so I would sit there and it was this way of taking action in like, action towards the vision like this is going to be comfortable. In fact, it'd be so normal for me to park and this Whole Foods it's not gonna go like who is this person here? Is she selling like signatures on the front of the Whole Foods? No, I don't work here. This is where I shop. This is where I eat. There was somebody who used to write their scripts I think at it wasn't the Waldorf. There's a very famous hotel that's escaping me over on Sunset Boulevard. It's a, if Brad was here he could tell he's like probably he's trying to tell me what it is to my brain but like where script writers would go to write their scripts because they wanted to someday be staying be famous enough and rich enough to stay at that hotel. All I can think about you guys if you're trying to like which hotel? It is the one Lindsay Lohan was at there's been other famous people I just can't think of it right now. Nikole M. Mitchell 24:39  I love it. The other thing that's really helped me manifest and normalize my goals is hiring those who already have it. So hiring mentors or coaches or guides, people who have the lifestyle you want them when you want, the business you want. Even today I was interviewing a business owner. He's been a restaurant and gambling owner for 20 years and I'm like If you need to mentor people that like opening a restaurant, a brick and mortar business is absolutely terrifying, huge risk lots people don't make it, you've had a massively successful for 2020 years, you need to mentor he is like I want to mentor people. So you want to gravitate towards those who have what you want. If you can't afford them at first, read everything you can on them online, watch their podcasts interviews, like do everything to be in their energy. And if there's ever an opportunity to take a free masterclass or a small price best, like, do whatever you can to learn from them. I would say that's been one of my biggest hacks isn't trying to fumble along and figure it on my own. I hire people who are already where I want to be like, Tell me everything you know, and then being in their energy being in that like being learning their understanding how they approach things. makes it so much faster for me to get there. Lesley Logan 25:45  Okay. Yes. Okay, that is awesome. Because you are skipping the line. You're not because also when you're especially when you're new to manifesting, you're, especially when you're new to like calling in what you want and haven't gotten tenacity. Nothing sucks more than trying to like fumble along, and then realize you've been going down the wrong road this whole time. It is and if you don't have the strength and that muscle believing like no, I do believe this, it could be a setback that just takes you out. So I do love that I um, the first time I hired a business coach, and people are like, why do you need to hire a business coach? I'm like, I'm taking my business to private school. And they're like, What am I? Why does everyone pay for private school for their kids? It's not like they're learning anything different. They're learning the same things that every other kid is learning. It's just that they have smaller class sizes. And what a network. And so that is what happens and I need my business to be in private school because you get to skip the line. You get more connections and and, yes, I everything I did before I hired a business coach, I learned from a podcast and I like I treat a podcast like I paid for that education I'm like, I had a notepad out every time I listen to certain podcasts. I was like, what are my three takeaways? In fact, I found a podcast where the host actually goes, here's my takeaways. And I was like, great, I'll just write yours down. That sounds great. Thank you. But like so that's what's so crazy in the world that we live today that there's actually so much that you can do if you can't afford to hire anyone. In fact, every, every single one of these multi-figure coaches out there have podcasts or have free content. I'm gonna tell you right now, I promise you, they're giving their best stuff away for free. If they're doing it right. It's just out of order. So if you can take the time to reorder it, you you can get an MIT to education without paying for MIT. Now, as all their education is free, the only way you get the degree is if you pay them. So if you want the certificate, you pay them but like, it's all out there, it goes back to that grit and tenacity like are you going to be willing to like, stop just thinking about it and actually, like, take some action towards what you're thinking about.Nikole M. Mitchell 27:43   I will give that feedback once awhile, like, why do you charge for this, this should be free. If it's if it matters so much you shouldn't make it available to the masses. So a couple of thoughts on that, like I put out so much free content that if you if you consume my free content and implement it in your life, it will change your life period. Second, we take for granted things that are free. If advice worked, the coaching business wouldn't exist. Obviously taking free advice does not have the same impact as hiring a mentor who can guide you through real real shit in real time. So just trusting that there is enough information for you to get started. And then I will say this because it's really important because woo and manifestation and personal love is so popular right now. Don't let yourself get scammed. There's a lot of people who can make you big, lofty promises, you're gonna make $7 million in seven weeks, it's like, and it gets you excited because you feel like anything's possible. But if your gut is saying something feels off, your gut is always telling you the truth. So I would much rather start with someone smaller, someone more grounded, someone who's not as big because it's like, there's something I can relate to this and I can connect to so really trust your intuition. Don't get caught up on the gimmicks and the bells and whistles of people trying to like dazzle you into the program. Hire the person or the people that you really resonate with. You can tell they have integrity. You can tell they're legit. Those are the people to learn from.Lesley Logan 28:58  Oh, yes. Yes. Because I mean, even some of the really big name coaches out there that you know, everyone knows who these guys are they have they sell people courses, but if you don't actually have an idea, if you don't know how to, even if you can buy it, it doesn't mean it's gonna make you money. In fact, there's like a shout out to this podcast it's my favorite I listen to Queen of the Con Season Four is all about the real housewife from Salt Lake City. And she had these companies that would, they look legit, you would like Google like work from home course. And then you know they had all this stuff but they were like oh well if you want that, buy this. Oh, that only works if you buy this and it was like all these things. It's truly like as a business coach, we're very honest. We'll tell you what's right for you. What's wrong for you. Like oh, actually, this is not gonna be the best thing for you. You go do these things. Here's why we think your ideas amazing. Here's what it's gonna take to get there. Super, super honest. Even in the 15 minute consultation call with Brad does you'll get coaching because we'll be like, I love that idea. Here's why you need to have anan assistant to do that. Like just really honest information you got to find coach like that because you can get you can buy the wrong course or be scammed or also, you got to know yourself do you need like I, I bought a course recently and I'm halfway through it and I have six more months to finish it. And I had to make appointments of myself to do it because I actually show up better when it's live.Nikole M. Mitchell 30:26  I'm so that is gonna say the exact same thing. And like you have to know what kind of learner you are. I will ship something live, I will not ship something pre recorded. I just know myself and the only way I will ship something pre recorded is just like you said, I literally put my calendar 4pm on Tuesday watching module ones program, otherwise I never get around to it, but live in it. Which is why to this day even though I've been in business for five years, I could automate and sell all my programs forever and ever never teach live again. I teach every single one live, because I know I'm a better learner when it's live energy, I love be able to like meet you in real time. Like talk to me. Where are you at? I'll give you feedback right now. Like, yeah, there's benefits to both. So I have people who thrive in courses, and I'm the kind of person who thrives on live energy. So just know your style and support yourself in that direction.Lesley Logan 31:05  Yeah, and like, and then also, it's okay to be where you are like, yeah, for example, the particular course I bought, the reason I bought it was I was like, I liked this idea. I've listened to a podcast, issue is valid information. I don't want to spend, like I love spending money but I was like, I don't want to spend that money on that thing. What I think I just want this module. So I've had to go, Okay, it's in my calendar, I had to literally tell Brad, okay, this is Mondays at 10am. I'm going to watch the thing, I'm going to do the thing. And then I'm going to do these things. And so I've had to do it and tell them every Monday, okay, here's what I learned today on this course. Because otherwise I know myself, but if I, if I can I love a live event, I love being in a room with people, even if it's a Zoom Room. And even as a presenter, like, one of the things we did this year was were we a bunch of courses, they're not outdated, but like the technology is better. And so it was like, you know, I want to update the content, we're filming them live. And we're selling the tickets to come live for like nothing 25 bucks. So if I can give this information away, but I know that the recorded content will have the energy of how I show up when it's live. Because if I if I pre-record stuff, it's like you're like talking to a white wall in this room. So it's not fun. So that but I I would prefer more people to come to the live one, and pay less amount and get all that information. It's just how I am. So I began to do you have to like a learner and you have to know what you have access, what's accessible and what you're valuing right now. And it's okay to go. Oh my god, I would love to spend that. But this is all I have who does that? But there's a couple people who are into the coaching industry who are like, well, why don't you just spend the money if this is like the the new secret where it's like you say it out loud. Now there's people who are like, just once you invest the money, that's the same, like you basically have done it. It's like, no, you should get coaching for the money that you're investing. Like, yeah, there should be calls, there should be some sort of something that's going to help you it can't just be like putting the money out there. It's like those old church shows of like, send your money and we'll pray your bills away. That's the same thing. It's still not going to work. Their bills are still there. Nikole M. Mitchell 33:10  Totally. Yeah. I love that you said that. Like you just start where you are. I know we all wish we're further down the road and we wish you can do this and I want to give you this piece of wisdom is like you are the only one who can save you. And that's like both good and bad. It's bad because we want someone else to save us it just feels easier if I can throw money at you and Lesley can save me hallelujah. That's not how it works. I'm the only person who can save me at the end of the day so if there's a mentor or guide or coach who's like if you don't hire me you're not going to make it, run. You are so brilliant, you're so capable, you come from the Divine, you've got this, you're gonna make it and it might take a little bit longer but you you've got this on your own you only want to hire someone not because you need to need them not because you're pressuring you not because they save you don't buy the highest ticket you're not actually committed I see all this kind of bogus stuff on the internet is like you want to hire someone because there's there's there's no electric charge there there's an alignment they're not because they're gonna save you but they represent who you can become. They've saved themselves and us now see oh, I can save myself so just be aware of any coach or leader who's like well if you don't hire me or if you don't buy my highest ticket you can't make it that's all BS you'll make it and just you're going to hire the right person the right amount the right price for you. Lesley Logan 34:18  Yeah, there's something to every level there because there's just always is and I love that you brought that up because it's it is all in you like the coach the coach is a thing that people I think fig get wrong with coaches, they are a guide they're not the hero. Nikole M. Mitchell 34:32  Yes. You're the here in your own story. Lesley Logan 34:34  Yes, yes. Yes. And like I think that's what a lot of people if you're listening if you are in the service industry of some kind whether you're a coach or a teacher, whatever that we also get wrong. We think I like as a Pilates instructor I used to think I have to be the one that helps them get that exercise. No, they have to show up. They have to do their part they have to, they have to get their mind in the moment. All I can all I can do is choose the exercise I think are the best for them. But they have to do the work. And once you can change that, it helps you have so much ownership nothing. It's, it's not happening to you, it's happening for you. And then you can also go okay, what am I supposed to learn from this? And how do I grow from this and you I don't know, it's very more empowering to figure out like you have it all in you, and this person can help you because it's a nice reminder, like my most recent coach, she was not even that many steps ahead of us, she was just enough ahead of us that I could learn a lot. She had grit and tenacity. And she, she pushed me to dream even bigger. And then she showed me how she was even doing it in that moment. And I loved that because it was this, it was, it was helpful. And it has accountability. And I couldn't let the old stories ever show up, because I kept surrounding myself with her. So I just think that it's really, really important. But she always reminded me, she's like, you are the one doing the work. All I can do here are the tools and tips. If I was in your shoes, here's what I would do. But you have to show up and do it, you have to believe that you're going to do it. And I think that's where a lot of people get it wrong, because they they either hire a person who tells them it's my way. And that's the only way you can make it or they stop believing and they stopped doing it. They think that if I spent the money it's going to happen because I I put the money over here.Nikole M. Mitchell 36:17  It drives me crazy crazy when I see coaches promote that. And it makes me so mad because like you said, it's the same message just wrapped in different clothing or you know, it's like, just give me your money. And you'll somehow miraculously make it it's not that simple. Like if it I'm like run, run run because you have to show up and you have to save yourself and I think a really good coach or guide like, reflects back to your greatness and also like I can, you've learned things about business, I learned things about this, I've so much business sage and wisdom I can give you that I knew nothing about a few years ago. So we have a lot of practical stuff. We have a lot of energetic stuff that I tell my clients, you're gonna think long term, when they first start we're gonna be there's a lot of information, there's a lot of knowledge, and then it elevates and evolves into energetic transmissions, and then it evolves into vibration. So now people come to me further along in their journey less for the information and more for the vibration. Like when they come into my world, they feel me they feel and they they feel them shifting. And then when situations come through in their life or their business or finances, they show up differently because of this vibration, they feel so big, it becomes more woo and it becomes incredibly effective. But it can be different for you along your journey if you're in a journey of like you need lots of information you're going to hire coaching give me a lot of information if you're in a season of like I just need you to infuse my days with like energetic laws then do that. I see you crushing it I want to be a mentee under you're watching you live your life absorbing the way you do life because that's going to meet you and serve you massively so there's like different phases you're going to find yourself in, which is why there is no like just pay here and you'll you'll be saved. Where are you? What do you need? What do you desire? Hire based on that.Lesley Logan 37:46  Yeah. Okay, so something that like there's a I'm one of those people who's like, I love to know a little bit more about the manifestation to you. So you journal and you you elevate, you elevate on the plane all that stuff. Do you vision board? Do you like vision board? Do you think that's part of it? Like what are some tools and tips that people who are wanting to make manifestation because I, I'm like, I feel like that is anytime I've ever had gotten what I wanted. It's because I was I got clarity, I had the division and I took the action. And then anytime I'm not where I want to be I'm like oh, when's the last time you actually thought about that? When's the last time you actually took some time to to remind yourself of why you're doing what you're doing what you want, and maybe even dream a little bigger because sometimes we get we get a little small on that and then call it in. I I'm very clear. I'm like, Oh, we're we're not happy because we didn't do the vision mark. So what are what are your tools?Nikole M. Mitchell 38:43  I do all the things so I journal. I used to not be a journaler. It's annoying. I don't have time what my hand gets cramped rather tight, but I am just, I'm left-handed so when you said that I was like she's left-handed, too.Lesley Logan 38:54  I just watched her do it with her hand. It crimps because no one taught us how to hold a pencil. And also if you're using the pin, you can just smear it or a pencil like you can't read it.Nikole M. Mitchell 39:02  And because you're not, we're raised in a right hand society, you're you use your hand right hand for almost everything. So you just don't utilize your left hand as the same amount like you. Yeah, yeah, I feel you. So for those of you who are not journalers there's hope for you is what I'm saying because I was not a journaler but now I'm very intentional about it. I did sticky notes. I definitely believe in vision boards. Like when I was living in Midwest and the food stamps and we're struggling to make our 700-dollar mortgage payment. I didn't know how on earth you're gonna move to California that has $5,000 lease payments, and like so I printed like these gorgeous, huge California homes to start normalizing my psyche. I'd watch YouTube videos of the ocean crashing because I so badly want to get out of the frigid weather for warm weather I'm like I'm gonna be selling beach every day like this is gonna be my norm someday. I make playlists of music that makes me feel so alive and powerful. I have a money playlist and I have an unleashed playlist the money's about all about becoming rich. And then my unleash is like feeling expressed, empowered. I say what I want I do what I want I wear when I would listen to that. Working out used to be a big component. My first a few years ago, whenever I work out, I'd feel so powerful and as often when I'd go live on my Facebook sweaty, no makeup, gross and so fucking charged and alive and like that's how I started joining some of my clients because there's no pretense there's no perfection, there's no perfect post, it's just like real-time to call in the flow and in the zone. And that helps call in. The last thing I will say in addition to visualization. So back in the day when I was poor, and I was like, someday I'm only going to fly first class, like that is a dream. Well, it's one thing to say that visualize it, it is another thing to fork over the money for it. And so I remember the first time I paid for first-class ticket was like, Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh, my gosh, this is irresponsible. Because I'm, I'm on food stamps. But it was such an expander for me. So I flew the first flight that offers first-class, totally life-changing. A month or two later on my next flight, and I was like, oh, gosh, and this one I went to look at the first class, it was four times the price of the economy. So it wasn't even double. My last one was double. This is four times the price. I'm like, oh, no, that I can't. So I chickened out, bought the economy. I could not sleep that night, because I was out of integrity with my identity. My identity says I'm a first class woman then why on earth did you buckle because I believed I couldn't make it like what if I pay for it, and then the money doesn't show up is all fear based and lack-based. The next morning, I called the airline and like, I need to upgrade to first class like good, you called within 24 hours, we can upgrade you. I paid four times the price for it. It's freaking out. I'm like, how can I say I'm gonna become a woman who flies first class, who only buys it once and never buys it again. You have to have integrity. And so even now, this iteration of my journey, I want to fly private. And so I just bought a month ago my first ever private jet plane ticket for me, my partner, mind you, which is so amazing to be able to pay for two people. And I had like it was a chance to normalize my nervous system like this is this is safe. This is allowed. It's more than I pay for a regular ticket. But like, this is the life I want to be and have and like came out here today, I bought another private jet ticket just like I have to be integrity with what I say I wantLesley Logan 41:59  So I just wanted to know, on your suitcases, the house, I looked and saw the JSX and I was like, yes, she did. I love you. I love that you're in my life so much because like it's so there's, I think there's there's different each person in our life gives us a little nugget of something right? Our mutual friend Michael like he's, he's like, the drive he has like he is like, I feel he's a hummingbird. He just doesn't stop. But there's a couple things about you that remind me of things that like sometimes in my busyness, I can forget the manifestation, the showing up, getting dressed up, like planning an outfit, I'm like, look at her earrings, they change every time I see her, they're a different pair. Like there's just certain things I know I don't I don't want to be able to (inaudible) earrings, but like, there are things about people that are reminders of like the things that we want. And just to go back to manifesting like putting people in our lives that are reminders of like, that's who I am. That's actually who I am. This this person over here I'm not a fraud, but I'm just saying like the like when like going back to like when you are living in a place where you're like nothing about this makes sense. Nothing about this is the life I want to live, like putting those people in your life. And I'm just so glad you got into like you came into ours. Because you're there's so many things about your love. And I just I love that you have a different you have different things, you have sound, you have pictures, you have things you can touch, all of that. That is so cool. And then yes with the action and I think like you guys it is it is really true, like putting the money putting on the line. It does come back because there's a part of you that like will fight to make sure that happens you will look for the evidence to make sure that happens. Because you won't if you just bought the economy ticket you actually wouldn't probably worry about making sure you can pay for that. But holy fuck you spent four times the price you better put out the email or go meet the person or go to that networking event or or do the buy the domain you might as well do the thing to like actually get that money back. I love that.Nikole M. Mitchell 44:12  It makes me want to read something I read yes so this is one of my old journal entries and I'm like this is so appropriate because it's about this next version of ourselves and having integrity and alignment and acting as though you're already her. This is another key part of manifestation is like there's this idea like oh, I'll act like an actor once I win an Oscar. Well how the f you begin to win an Oscar you first have to identify as an actor, you have to show up as an actor even before you get your first acting gig you have to show up in the identity before the thing is ever here. Right. So when I was flying here, I was reading my old like, when I money's my big thing right I am. I was so familiar with poverty. I only want to know well from now on. And because there's a lot of people in poverty. There's a lot of people I want to help so it's really important for me that I stay connected to my desire for why I want more money. So this is just one of my journal entries and I hope it like serves everyone and blesses anyone who's listening, I wrote, I am a mother fucking queen. I am a child of the Divine who is worthy of all her desires, who is supported in all of her desires, who receives all of her desires, because she is open to receiving, open to having open to more, she knows she is safe in her spending and safe in her having. And anytime she spends money, she makes more money every damn time. Any feelings of loss or lack or not being able to finish pain is just an illusion. Fear trying to convince that it's real. When only love is real, and love leads, guides and provides always love is infinite. Money is infinite. I'm infinite. I can afford anything and everything and always have extra surplus excess always. That was me manifesting calling it in before I even had it trying to imagine what would it look like to live in a world where every time I spend money, it always comes back to me multiplied, where I identify as a queen who receives everything she wants, because she feels worthy of it. And now I feel like I'm there and I'm now taking it to the next level.Lesley Logan 46:04  Yeah. Oh my god, I love that. And I like it thing is like I'm gonna I think I would transcribe the podcast because y'all it's on you can just likeNikole M. Mitchell 46:12  Copy, paste it, paste it.Lesley Logan 46:14  Put it up, put on little Post Its around where you need it. There's a Abraham Hicks has a money rampage on YouTube. And whenever I'm feeling a little lack, I play it. It's five minutes long, you guys, I'll put it in the show notes. It is it literally, I can't not think about how wealthy we are. As soon as I'm done listening to it, because I just like it like it's like, she's, it's just so it's so good. When it comes on. I can actually quote it. I can't quote it in this moment. But like it's so good. And I light the money candle.Lesley Logan 46:43  Yeah, I light the money candle.Lesley Logan 46:45  I love it. Oh my God, I love my money candle. And it's, and it's because I really, I think a lot of people can listen to this. And they might be like we've said many, many times you guys money is the is energy that allows us to not only show up more fully as ourselves, but allows us to be there to give to the people that we love around us. I love when I can hire someone whose strength is a weakness of mine. And I love when that they're when I get to pay them. And that strength they have allows them to support their family. Like I believe so fully in that. I love that. One of our assistants has been with us, she built a fucking house, you guys, she built a house, she's having her second kid, like she can do this one of our other people where he lives. He is upper middle class where he lives because he works for us and I get to pay him. And you know what, when he got sick, he didn't go where people who are poverished go he got to go to an actual doctor and get seen. And that is a difference between life and death sometimes and so like I make I love making money because I can then give it away to these people who who's who get to do their thing that they love so much. And and it just makes me feel really good. So if you are listening to this and still at this point, after we said money all the time, and you're like I don't know, try to hope find other reasons to don't like us, I'm gonna tell you right now. You you need to understand that you deserve all the money you want. It's not a bad thing. And someone told you a story a long time ago and you can do really amazing things. We coach a lot of women whose partners make a lot of money and so that sometimes they're like, oh, I don't really need to make any money. And there's so many things I just say that one you don't know what's gonna happen to your partner. So you just Nikole M. Mitchell 48:29  Death, divorce, disability happens all the time. Lesley Logan 48:32  All the time. So unless your life insurance policy for that person is going to afford you the life you're accustomed to for many, many years. You you need to make money. Second, then make a money goal to give away just like, what if you could give away $100,000 this year? What if you can give away a million dollars this year? What would that look like? Well, how could you show up? Because you know what? It is really fun. Like we give to the cupcake girls, I fucking love seeing that money leave. I love it. I love giving it away. I wish we can give more away. I'm always looking for different charities. I'm like, oh, what can I how much have we give them? I love it. So it's you can also have a money goal that gives things away that you deserve. You don't have to like you don't have to be barely like okay, I'm fine with all this. You don't have to and go well, I'm lucky my partner makes a lot so I don't, you're not taking you are not taking money away from people because you made it so just because you're living the fine life doesn't mean that you you don't have to you can't want more or you can't want to do something to provide for your children in a different way.Nikole M. Mitchell 49:37  Yes, ultimately money doesn't come from people it comes through people. So like that can just eliminate guilt because if it doesn't come to that person the Divine is gonna find another way to get that money to me but it doesn't come from them. It comes through them their channels or portals from the Divine to give me my birthright which is abundance. I always tell my people if you have a good heart you actually have a responsibility to get rich. Might be offensive or polarizing but it's like the amount of good you can do if you have a good heart is more is exponentially more when you have resources. And so when I first started wanting to make money, I the only way I felt worthy of it was knowing I would give it away. I didn't feel worthy of it, but I felt worthy of passing it on. So if that becomes your only way to feel connected to money, let that become your portal for now. And then my hope is over time, you directly feel worthy of it, whether or not you give it away, because eventually wants you to feel so worthy that you have as much money as you desire that you can do whatever you want with, you can invest it, you can give it, you can build a company with it, you can hire employees with it, like you can do so many things with it. But sometimes, especially for women, I find, they first have to justify, they're gonna give a lot away to be able to call it in, which is great. But I don't want you to stop there, I want you to get a point where you can be like, I'm a motherfucking, queen, I deserve all the money, I'm going to make millions of dollars. And then I will decide how I'm going to use tha

Dans cette approche, le LLM répond qu'il faudrait appeler une fonction (par exemple pour connaitre la météo à Paris) et il indique quels paramètres passer (“Paris”). Le développeur ensuite appel cette fonction et retourne le résultat de l'invocation au LLM, qui va ensuite pouvoir générer du texte avec ces données. C'est l'approche “function calling” qui permet d'étendre à un LLM pour lui donner accès à des données live, derrière une API, etc Méthodologies Une video sur le père Noël et la pensé critique de la Tronce en Biais https://youtu.be/tqlYKO_asFw?si=g1Fq5OfCvQONNb2i Vidéo interessante pour comprendre comment nous, dans la tech, on peut tomber facilement sur des croyances qui sont doutantes si on développe pas l'esprit critique.

Le film Barbie les a fait comprendre qu'elles doivent expliquer ce à quoi les femmes sont confrontées au quotidien, afin que les autres puissent comprendre à quel point cela peut être épuisant. Très bien documenté avec bcp de liens et références au delà de l'expérience personnelle Transcription et slides dans l'article Lien entre film Barbie et la place des femmes dans la tech. Idées non neuves mais cela a été un impact Les biais en général ne sont pas particuliers à un genre, sont globales. Test sur les biais implicites Il existe un déficit de talents technologiques (estimé atteindre de 1,4 million à 3,9 millions de personnes d'ici 2027 dans les pays de l'UE-27), qui pourrait potentiellement être comblé en doublant la proportion de femmes dans le secteur technologique. Cependant, la part des femmes dans les rôles technologiques connaît sa plus basse représentation dans les domaines en pleine croissance tels que DevOps et le cloud. plus de la moitié des femmes quittent l'industrie technologique 10 à 20 ans après le début de leur carrière, soit le double du taux des hommes. (manque d'opportunités, difficultés face aux biais, se sentir comme une outsider etc…) La part des femmes dans les rôles technologiques en Europe risque de diminuer pour atteindre 21% d'ici 2027. Solutions: roles modèles, combattre nos biais (si on ne les reconnait pas, on ne peut pas le combattre), mentoring, faire attention à donner de la voix etc… New York Times porte plainte à open ai https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67826601 réclame des billions en copy right, suit aussi Microsoft et Bing qui utilise open ai on peut trouver des extraits des articles avec suscription disponibles Si on demande à chat gpt sur des news actuelles, reprend des explications tirés du NYT sans le mentionner Sur bing on peut trouver aussi des extraits sans citer ni linker la source Conséquences pour NYT: moins d'accès à leur site, moins de consultations, moins des clicks, chute des suscriptions, pertes monétaires importantes Réponse de OpenAI au NYT https://openai.com/blog/openai-and-journalism We collaborate with news organizations and are creating new opportunities Training is fair use, but we provide an opt-out because it's the right thing to do “Regurgitation” is a rare bug that we are working to drive to zero The New York Times is not telling the full story Outils de l'épisode Userscripts https://github.com/quoid/userscripts: extension pour changer le CSS et JS des sites dans votre navigateur Rubrique débutant Guillaume a publié 2 “codelabs” pour démarrer sur LangChain4J, en utilisant le LLM PaLM de Google https://glaforge.dev/posts/2023/12/18/get-hands-on-codelabs-to-dabble-with-llms/ Ces 2 tutoriels pratiques permettent de découvrir les deux modèles text et chat de PaLM Différentes tâches sont illustrées pour faire de simples questions/réponses, de simples chat, mais aussi comment extraire des données structurées d'un texte, comment faire de la classification (avec un exemple d'analyse de sentiment) Google Summer of Code -

Drew and Doug are both on the job the week of Christmas with Drew working the busy hub operation and Doug doing flights to London, then Houston, back to London, and then home to SFO.  We talk about news stories as presents and what we'd like to see under the avgeek Xmas tree. We also discuss:JSX buys 300 electric and hybrid planesBoeing resumes deliveries to ChinaLufthansa orders 737 Maxes We explain what “airline chicken” isJoin the discussion! https://www.nexttripnetwork.com/

The dust up between American Airlines and JSX is an interesting airline industry development. The pilot's unions say it's all in the name of safety, but that couldn't be further from reality.   What's up with FAR Part 380?   Smaller airlines are trying to take the suck out of flying and continue service for small communities. Why are the majors so dead-set against these small players? Can we really buy the argument that they want to make the industry safer?   The answer is… complicated. There is more to the feud than meets the eye (or the press).   In this episode I'm joined by acclaimed aviation attorney, Paul Lange. We talk about the real motivation behind the industry's opposition to FAA Part 380 carriers.   The majors and unions don't want to provide choice to the American public. They want the only model available to be their airlines and fortress hubs. -Paul Lange    Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -An end to the pilot shortage… Is the 1500 hour rule the real reason for the opposition to Part 380 carriers (who can circumvent it). Are there more efficient and effective ways to train pilots?   - Why Part 380 carriers worry the majors How can major carriers view charter carriers as competitive, existential threats when they have just 30 seats and a small fraction of the business?     - Safety or sabotage Major carriers are harping on about the safety (or lack thereof) in the Part 380 carrier space. Is that really what they care about?   Guest Bio   Paul represents aviation businesses in solving significant and challenging problems. His background litigating and trying to verdict judgment aviation matters nationwide before federal and state courts as well as administrative agencies, sometimes simultaneously, brings a breadth of opportunities to the table when seeking to resolve disputes at their earliest opportunity or in complicated business structures restricted by regulatory overlays. In addition to remaining current trying cases, Paul's transactional and aviation regulatory practice includes formation, mergers and acquisitions of fixed base operators (FBO's), air carriers, air charter brokers, public charter operators, maintenance and repair organizations (MRO's), and the purchase, sale and lease of aircraft.

Embark on a journey through the vibrant skies with JSX, a trailblazing public charter operation rooted in the heart of Dallas, Texas. Much like its counterparts in the realm of public charter services, JSX finds itself amidst a complex web of allegations touching on safety, security, and environmental concerns.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has invited public comments to assist in assessing the necessity and potential scope of rulemaking related to an existing exception for public charter operators. This exception currently keeps them outside the FAA's domestic, flag, and supplemental operations regulations.Ben unravels the layers of this dynamic saga, addressing the allegations that dance in the airspace. Together, we'll illuminate the potential impact on passengers, the heartbeat of small communities, and the very essence of air travel safety. Step into the cockpit of knowledge as we navigate the regulatory landscape governing the exhilarating world of public charters.
