You can fool some of the people all the time. Especially when they want to be fooled. That is don's skill. He is a master. All the easier when half the population has an IQ in double digits and very busy trying to survive. Also, easy to fool high IQ people with Dysrationalia. What is that you say? The inability to think and behave rationally despite adequate intelligence. It is a concept in educational psychology and is not a clinical disorder such as a thought disorder. Dysrationalia can be a resource to help explain why smart people fall for Ponzi schemes and other fraudulent encounters. The there is also the theory of stupidity--where stupid people can be smart, but act against their own interest, hurting themselves and others for no reason. Stupidity is worse than evil, because we have no defenses against them. And they are everywhere. In all professions, all walks of life.

Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

While growing up Sunny Lusted (Woodcut) had dreams of becoming a pilot, or professional pianist. Although quality food and restaurants were a big part of her life, it wasn't until she landed a part time job in hospitality that it swept her off her feet. After travelling the globe opening resorts in exotic locations, she moved back to Australia with her husband Ross Lusted and the pair opened the restaurant Sydney never knew it needed - The Bridge Room. Now she's at the helm of their new restaurant - five times the size of their first restaurant, and offering one of the most unique experiences in the country. https://www.crownsydney.com.au/indulge/woodcut Follow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en Follow Huck https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Deep in the Weeds is a food podcast hosted by Anthony Huckstep in conversation with chefs, food producers and members of the hospitality industry.

Lusted for as much as it is feared, Terminus pushes a bony hand up from the frigid soil to return with a storm of blast beats and autism. A chill wind envelopes the soul- how will the masters of extreme metal critique announce their return? With a bunch of nerdy Finnish stuff, of course! First on the plate is the new split between Serpent Noir and Sargeist. Serpent Noir plays a heavy metal and rock infused take on Greek black metal while Sargeist plays Sargeist as only Sargeist can. Who will be the victor? Can The Black Metal Guy handle noodly guitars inspired by 70s rock? Can Sargeist once again achieve the heights of Let The Devil In? Only a focused and meticulous listen will answer these riddles. After this we cheat a little bit with a record from the last days of 2020- Ride For Revenge's newest opus of shambling, grotesque, primitive black metal. The new record will sound familiar to fans, but emphasizes the most uptempo and burly parts of their sound, jettisoning some of their experimentation for crushing 45-played-on-33 takes on Hellhammer tracks. Wrapping things up is the first and apparently last record by Grieve, another side project of the notorious Werwolf of Satanic Warmaster. This time the target sound revolves around the earliest works of the mighty Gorgoroth, laced with the traditional Finnish sound that Werwolf himself helped establish. What ensues is a thrilling record of gnarly, oldschool black metal that is nonetheless laden with melody and intricacy to carry you through the winter nights. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:08:19 - Serpent Noir / Sargeist - Transcendental Black Magic (World Terror Committee) 1:01:17 - Interlude - The Sarcophagus - “Legend Sleeps Behind the Mountains” fr.

Caller Question: "My husband disclosed three months ago that he is a sex addict. Specifically pornography and masturbation. We are in the thick of the work, and I acknowledge it's early still. Here's where I'm stuck: while he never physically cheated on me, he admitted that a large aspect of his addiction was a sexual fantasy- he provided me with a list of 25 of my female friends and neighbors he has fantasized about and masturbated to. I believe he is repentant, I believe he wants to heal, and that he's working hard. But part of my work is trying to find forgiveness… and I can't. I can't look at these women in my everyday life without being hit hard with the hurt all over. I'm pulling away from friends (of course they have no idea why), distancing myself and my kids from neighborhood activities and friends, and I feel stuck.

We have an awesome episode this week! Douglas Lusted, CEO at AdStash, joins Tim to discuss how businesses and entrepreneurs can benefit from digital screen advertising.AdStash is an adtech platform that helps businesses of all sizes to generate new revenue with digital screen monetization.Takeaways AdStash provides a media player that powers ads onto a screen, as well as, a free content management system to schedule ads or content onto the screen. It is an ad-supported model for businesses of all sizes.Small businesses have the opportunity to monetize their screens with AdStash devices for no monthly fees. This gives advertisers the opportunity to directly access specific audiences.The AdStash platform has a premium option to compile impression analytics through cellphone tracking data. Their technology only counts those who are in viewing distance of the screen rather than within the venue itself.Media owners can modernize their playspace networks through digital screens on AdStash. This is a hyperlocal, targeted playspace technique and complements existing billboards.Indoor or digital playspace is a very efficient way to spend ad dollars. Placing an ad on a screen versus a billboard allows companies to get in front of a highly concentrated area of their targeted audience.LinksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglaslusted/Company: https://www.adstash.comShout OutBrian Fitzgibbons - Venue XEpisode: https://youtu.be/_02oye7VMX4Support the show (http://oohswag.com)
The 16:9 PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY SCREENFEED – DIGITAL SIGNAGE CONTENT Much has changed through the years in digital signage and digital out of home, but one thing that's been pretty constant is how small businesses like the technology when they find out about it ... but don't want to pay for it. Doug Lusted has seen and heard that for many years, having founded a Canadian startup that was doing proximity marketing and venue analytics almost a decade ago. He gradually, with his team, started pulling together the idea and eventually the platform for AdStash - a service that enables small business operators and service providers who target that sector to get digital signage in place, and make money from the screens, instead of paying monthly bills for them. The core premise of AdStash is small to medium-sized businesses - from one-offs to groups of venues - can tap into advertising dollars from a dozen supply-side ad exchanges and generate incremental revenue. They don't pay any recurring subscription fees, and the only upfront cost is an $80 Raspberry Pi media player. Based in suburban Toronto, but virtual in most respects, the company is investor-backed and already has a footprint of some 70,000 screens in the U.S. and Canada. Subscribe to this podcast: iTunes * Google Play * RSS TRANSCRIPT Doug, thank you for joining me. We've known each other a little bit for quite some time now, and I would say your company has been on a bit of a journey because when I first ran into it, I believe you were doing proximity marketing, right? Doug Lusted: That's right, and we're still doing that. That was our first product and we're heading out to our second one now. And that was called, Linkett, wasn't it? Doug Lusted: Yeah, so to clear it up because branding is often a question. The company name is Weston Expressions. Our first product was Linkett, which is an audience measurement platform that still operates today, and then our second product is AdStash, which we'll get into. With the first product, what was that all about? That was NFC-based, right? Doug Lusted: It started out to be NFC. We were trying to track engagement and impressions, but ultimately that morphed into WiFi. So it's predominantly a WiFi tracking platform today. Because every smartphone has WiFi probably turned on or at least available, and not everybody was equipped with NFC and not everybody had it activated, right? Doug Lusted: You got it. So this was just a better way to go, and now you've launched AdStash. Can you tell me and the listeners what that's all about? Doug Lusted: So what AdStash does is provide digital signage networks the technology they need to go programmatic with no monthly fees, and so on a deeper level what that really means is that the core technology we've built is an API that connects your digital signs to multiple programmatic ad exchanges at once. So it saves you all that integration time and money. And if you become an AdStash customer, what are you getting and what are you using? Doug Lusted: It depends on your network. We're pretty flexible. We've got a bunch of different pieces to the puzzle. But basically, an API connection that lists you on all the major SSPs or most of them. Now, if you need a media player, we can provide you that. If you need a content management system, we have a free one. Those are typically used by our smaller networks. And the enterprise users generally stick to the API because they've got all of that in place already. Okay, so if I'm already on Brand X CMS, there are hundreds of them. You don't need to back out of that and use your CMS platform or anything like that. The CMS is meant more as something that enables it for smaller businesses? Doug Lusted: Yeah, exactly, and sometimes what happens is we'll have a customer who's growing their network, and they realize, I can use this CMS that doesn't have any monthly fees. I'm going to switch to that now while I'm deploying. But yeah we can integrate with any CMS. It's a fairly straightforward open API. I guess it becomes a delicate dance of working with other CMS companies, because if they're hearing that, you don't need to use a commercial or fee-based one, you can just use ours for free they may be thinking, “I don't want to work with you.” Doug Lusted: Yeah. It's a good point, and to add a little more color to that, it's a very light, basic CMS, right? We can show videos on full screen, maybe a traditional L-bracket, but that's it. It's very light, more kind of aimed towards small and medium-sized businesses. If you're a large enterprise digital signage network that needs some bells and whistles, sticking to your current partner is probably the best bet and we're pretty open about it. Is that intentional or is that more a function of, “if I want it to have something that was a lot more robust, that there's a whole bunch more time and dollars that I need to put into it to get to that point”? Doug Lusted: So we found that most of our early adopters were small and medium-sized businesses that weren't too picky on what's going on the screen? So it would be hard to give out a content management system that's free that has all the bells and whistles as I said, so I think it was intentional. It's just like a backup plan. One thing we noticed in this industry is that there's a massive amount of supply in the market that is just a mom-and-pop shop with the TV turned off. So we're just trying to make it as simple as possible, like “Hey, here's this box. There are no monthly fees, plug it in and you're ready to go.” And if they opted for this, let's say I have a nail salon in a strip mall because every strip mall has a nail salon and they want to do this. How does it work? What do they get out of it? How do they use it? And in terms of what they get out of it, what kind of revenues would they see? Is it something that just is going to just pay for the TV in a lot of respects? Doug Lusted: Yeah, sometimes. So basically if you use our full tech stack, you get the media player, plug it in just to HDMI and power, and then WiFi or Ethernet and then a free content management system that's cloud-based, the nail salon often puts up their own content on the screen, hours of operation, promotions, that good stuff, totally self-serve, and then we, just like almost any programmatic platform, we aim for a 30% fill rate with third-party ads that we're getting from our programmatic partners. Given the infancy and where we are with programmatic, some months we hit 30%, some months, we don't, depending on a whole bunch of variables. But the idea is that I think for a small mom and pop nail salon if you look at our data over the past 24 months, minus the closures, due to the pandemic, the average locations making about $50 to $70 a month in revenue that they wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. And for a lot of businesses, that would be like, you know, who cares? But is that a meaningful number to these people? Doug Lusted: It is, and especially with COVID impacting a lot of the revenues of these businesses, they're hungry to figure out any way they can earn a couple extra bucks, and most of our clients aren't necessarily one-offs, they own 10 stores, they own 50 stores, and so when you start scaling it, it becomes a nice little incremental piece of business that doesn't require much work. One of the big challenges that I've seen through the years with these kinds of initiatives is, working with small to medium businesses is not terribly efficient. You've got to sell them one by one. You don't just go in and get an enterprise deal for a thousand locations or anything else. How do you deal with that side of it and how do you sell it? Doug Lusted: Yeah, it's a great point. So in the very early days, our Guinea pigs, we were going door to door on these businesses directly. But now I would say 99% of our business is through the digital signage channels so digital signage distributors, smaller and medium place-based digital networks looking to go programmatic, and if you look at the adoption curve, it's similar to any company, start with the little guys and you start climbing up the chain. So we've taken that route and we're working on the channel right now. So using the example of the nail salon again, how would they find you then? Would it be through like a Synnex or Ingram Micro or something like that? I can't imagine a nail salon knowing what Synnex is. Doug Lusted: Yeah, exactly. So we do inbound marketing, right? So they'll probably find us online. But like I said, it's a small portion of our business, but they'd be able to find it through any of our paid campaigns, whether it be through Google ads, Facebook ads, LinkedIn ads, etc. Word of mouth is probably our biggest channel, right? Somebody starts making money they didn't before and they want to tell their friends, they want to move it to the other properties they own. So organic's been a big one for the smaller customers. Yeah, and if they need it, you provide an $80 media player. So I guess if they make $50 to $70 a month, they pay for that thing pretty quickly. What is that? Is that a little Raspberry Pi or...? Doug Lusted: Yeah, it is a Raspberry Pi with our firmware on it. It's got a couple of extra little components to it, like just some USB antennas and things of that nature, but under the hood, it's a Raspberry Pi. The analytical side of the business that you started with, is that bundled with this, and would a small business need it/use it? Doug Lusted: It is bundled with it, but it's generally hidden from the small businesses. The reason why we need it is that we need to know what traffic is in front of the screen when ads play so that we know how much to bill these programmatic partners, everything's impression. Would a nail salon really need a big data platform to understand its user's behaviors? Probably not. So we hide it, but it is built in there so that we can gauge traffic levels for our advertisers. So if I am the nail salon and I opt in, what am I using to update content and manage the thing? Doug Lusted: In terms of our content management system, they're logging in and uploading their own creative. We don't provide a designer tool or any type of creative tool ourselves. They just upload whatever they have. Okay, and they do it off the desktop or can they do it off mobile? Doug Lusted: They can do it on desktop or mobile. Specific app or is it just the web version of the website? Doug Lusted: We have a specific app as well. So on mobile, we have an AdStash app. You can download and manage your digital signage network just through your phone if you'd like. I've always been curious about the mindset particularly of the small to the medium business world. By far, the most active blog post on 16:9 is one that lists all of the free software options out there. Do you find that generally for small to medium businesses, digital signage is not a major core initiative of what they're doing, it's just something that maybe they can use, that there's a real resistance there to spending any monthly fees? Doug Lusted: I think so. We often A/B test this ourselves to test what is the bigger value prop, the ability to make money on programmatic ads or save money on subscriptions? It's really a mix of both, but the smaller players for sure are interested in anything that isn't going to be recurring, and we also have a lot of requests from the digital signage groups that they outsource this to. Like I said, our average user has got about a hundred screens. So this is generally something they've outsourced, they've told their digital signage partner, “Hey, you've heard of this free AdStash thing, check it out!” Okay, and what's your installed base right now? Doug Lusted: So across North America, we have 70,000 screens. The US is a lot more dominant than Canada. We've seen some pretty exponential growth there. But in Canada, we've got about 6,000 screens and then the rest of the US. Okay, and what do you figure you have to be at in terms of footprint to get something akin to critical mass? Or does it not really matter as much when it's programmatic? Doug Lusted: It doesn't matter as much when it's programmatic, and I think that's one of the huge attractions to it, especially for the medium size players. If I've got a hundred screens, maybe 50 in Toronto, 50 in Montreal, that's not really big enough to attract a national campaign, but programmatically, by nature is grouping everybody together to try and attract a national campaign. So I think that's a really big thing. Most typically for these small business screen networks, it's hyper-local advertising. It's like the local injury accident lawyers and mortgage brokers and that sort of thing. What kind of advertising are you seeing on the screen? Doug Lusted: So given that we only do programmatic advertising, most I would say is national. Now we do have some local, right? The Calgary Stampede brought in a lot of local ads, even though like DoorDash will do a national campaign, they'll have custom creative or calls to action based on each local community. But for the most part, at least for now, we're seeing a majority of it nationally. And with the analytics that you're able to generate, what do you see or what are you learning about sites? Doug Lusted: Yeah, so traffic data is the most important for sure. Impressions or visits, right? Unique visits, dwell time and frequency are the big three per location. It's really interesting to see the dwell times. That's what I'm interested in because, during the pandemic, medical was really one of the only things that were open, and you can see our dwell time doubled so the average person sees twice as many ads. What does that mean? How is that going to affect things? So the most important thing right now is traffic. A lot of these exchanges, like HiveStack or BroadSign, have geofencing technology, so they can gather demographics on their own. We have that capability, but most of the time the exchanges say, “Hey, we got that covered.” With the rise through the years of computer vision for doing on-premise venue analytics, once in a while, something bubbles up and people get all freaked out about the idea that there's a camera looking at me. We've seen that a few times in Canada and it comes up elsewhere. What's the situation with your users when it comes to WiFi. Do they care? Are they alarmed in any way? Like they seem to be well on the camera side? Doug Lusted: Some of our bigger customers are, but we've been pretty proactive in being GDPR compliant. So from a consumer perspective, they don't see anything. They don't see a camera being pointed at them. There's a little box behind the TV that no one sees. So we don't really get any questions on the consumer side. From the actual kind of business side, yeah, just, are we GDPR compliant? Are we collecting any personally identifiable information, which we're not. Where are your servers? We get asked those questions a lot, but after they read through what we're doing with the data and they realize it's very anonymous, high-level traffic counting. We've never had any problems with it, and in fact, It's helped us in a lot of deals. Like we're an airport, and as I said before, we're in medical clinics where you can't put a camera. So we carved out a nice little segment of the market, where we seem to be dominating that market share, at least in Canada, just because of those regulations around those venues. Is it easier to compete with some of the other kinds of focused networks out there? Through the years, I've seen bar networks and hair salon networks and nail salon networks, and everything else. Because you're broadly based, you're not saying, “We're the guys for this.” Is it easier to sell into a broader diversity of businesses? Doug Lusted: Yeah, it is. But it's also a little confusing because any other place-based digital network, in some sense, if they're on programmatic and not going through us, they're competitors. But on the other side, they're also prospects. So if it gets very confusing, okay, who's a competitor and who's a prospect who should we target? And there's a lot of his “frenemies” in space, and it's getting even more complicated as more and more programmatic platforms come into play. When your resellers and channel are meeting with a company that has a hundred screens across a network, do they even get into what programmatic is and how it works or do they just say, put this in, we will sell the ads for you and it'll start showing up within three, four weeks and you should see a check of $50 to $70. But I'm guessing they don't really want to understand, is this a demand side platform or supply side or any of that stuff? You're just basically saying it's like Google Adsense, it will just show up. Doug Lusted: Exactly. They don't get into all the nitty gritties. You go into a nail salon and try to explain what a supply side platform and demand side platform are, it's probably not going to work out. It's getting more and more confusing as more and more are popping up. But yeah, it's basically, “Hey, we're going to install this new box to your TV, ads are going to show up hopefully and make some revenue”, and another thing is like a lot of our channel partners, they're selling ads directly themselves, not programmatic, just traditional direct sales. So a lot of the time, it's not just us who's responsible for revenue. We're just adding the icing on the cake. Okay. So that would be like the guy in your part of the world around Toronto, who's got some medical clinics and he's using your platform, but he would have direct sales as well that he could go to a medical equipment supplier or whatever, and say, “do you want to advertise on these?” Doug Lusted: Exactly. So our agreement, with our customers, is that we have the exclusive rights over programmatic sales. We're going to connect you to all of the SSPs that we're partnered with and we're going to handle that relationship for you. That's the value we bring, but we're not shutting down your existing line of revenue when it comes to traditional sales. And that's why you're talking about like a 30% fill rate that there should be this broad understanding that, “Hey guys, this isn't your sole answer if you're an ad network, this is part of your answer.” Doug Lusted: Exactly, and I think that's where we're at in the programmatic industry is this strange hybrid model, where we're putting a bed on and focusing on that or predicting that more of it will shift the programmatic as adoption increases across the industry. But right now, yeah, this isn't your only source of ad revenue. So I'm HiveStack and I'm working with you guys. What visibility do I have? Like what do I see when I'm trying to place an ad of some kind or drive a campaign across your screens? Doug Lusted: We try to be as transparent as possible. What you'll see is an address obviously, of where the screen is located, their analytics will tell you the type of audience that's in there. We'll provide you with the traffic counts that are in there. We even require our users, when they install a device to take a picture of the screen, so that you can actually see what the screen looks like and that it exists, and then you'll just obviously see the playback reporting o how many times did your ad play there and whatnot. And I'm assuming the analytics side of that is increasingly important, even if it isn't to the venue, it is to the programmatic side? Doug Lusted: Yeah, exactly, and I think, anybody who's been in this industry for a while understands that that's one of the biggest bottlenecks of programmatic right now. There's not a clear winner of measurement. There are a whole bunch of different vendors, and we ourselves, as the digital signage industry are confused about it, which then makes it almost impossible for these programmatic exchanges to wrap their heads around it, or come up with any standards. And I don't think that's going to change anytime soon, and one of the reasons why is, I think that we need to understand that there's going to need to be different methodologies and technologies to measure outdoor screens versus indoor screens. These are two very different things, I don't think one solution is going to be able to cover both. So we need to really think, how are we going to frame this, how are we going to put standards around it and take the time to educate these ad exchanges on how it's gonna work? Do you get pushback at all from, let's say some of the larger, more established to programmatic platforms saying, I don't know who you are, you're not big enough for me or anything else, or do they all look at this as more inventory and it's properly described and the analytics are available and so on. So, it doesn't bother me that it's a nail salon and it's not a major international airport? Doug Lusted: So in the early days, we got pushback from programmatic exchanges because we didn't have that many screens, and it's that chicken and egg problem. So we went out and started building our supply base, and I would say now, we're one of the bigger players with 70,000 screens. So they look at it and say, not necessarily, this is more screens, cause that's not always how they think, but they say, Hey, this more audience profiles. This is more traffic for us. And I assume all of your venues are data tagged every which way? Doug Lusted: Yeah. So not only just what type of venue it's in and where it's located, but what size is the screen, what things are around it, there's a lot of data that's associated with it, and thankfully we are not tasked with having to have a UI for that, that the advertiser has to see, that's basically our programmatic partners job and that's not an easy one. Going back to the nail salon thing, I signed up for it and I'm running a set of nail salons, which is about as bizarre a thought as I can come up with. Who would do the data tagging for that? Doug Lusted: Yeah, we do all of that. So once you install the device, you do take a picture of your screen once it's done. We have a list of venues that you can select from a dropdown that is in accordance with the IAB standards. They just find and select a nail salon, which is one of them, and that's basically it. We do everything from there, everything is pretty much automated, So it's a free service. The obvious next question coming out of that is how do you make money? Doug Lusted: Yeah. So we take a commission only on the programmatic revenue that we bring to the table, that flows through our pipes. The commission depends on volume and how many screens you have, but that's how we make our money. I think I saw the baseline was like 30%, and it scales down from there with the larger jobs? Doug Lusted: It does scale down, yeah. Sometimes it'll actually scale up depending if you're missing core components of technology. So someone may say, “Hey I don't have this feature in the CMS, can you build it or can I have it?” And they'll say, yeah, but if you don't want to pay for the custom dev time, then the way we'll make our money back on that is maybe 35%. Even in that case, it wouldn't be fee-based, it would be built around the commission? Doug Lusted: We're pretty flexible. Most of our customers have come to us because they don't want to pay fees. So it ultimately ends up being a commission, whether we like it or not. Is that just a concession to the realities of working with a small to the medium business world is that they would like to have this, they just don't want to pay for it. So let's work with them as opposed to just saying, “We won't work with you, goodbye!” Doug Lusted: Yeah, exactly, and I think that's the whole notion of AdStash, and one of our big hypotheses is building this business as there are so many screens that are not being added to programmatic exchanges because they can't afford the technology that's required to do so. So whoever activates, all of those screens are going to own a huge portion of the supply in the market, and nobody's pulled up their sleeves and gone after that segment of the market because nobody wants to pay for anything. So was AdStash something, going back to 2013-2014, that you were thinking about, or is it just through the years you came to this realization, having worked with a lot of end-users that there's a hole in the market for this, we can build it and get there before somebody else does? Doug Lusted: It was a bit of both. So when we were really focused on analytics back in 2014, we weren't thinking about it, but we heard rumblings of programmatic and we always thought to ourselves, audience measurement is great, but it's hard to tie return on investment to, especially if you're talking to a digital signage network, like, “why should I invest in in analytics, if I can't guarantee I'm going to get more ads?” So we always thought, in the online world, advertisers demand it, and then so when we heard of programmatic coming down and we're like, wow, our data is actually going to be very valuable here and mandatory. So this is a good space for us to get into, and then we were just really early adopters of it, we started working with Campsite right when they started in Toronto and Montreal and it just escalated and we rode the wave. And how many programmatic platforms are you integrated with now? Doug Lusted: So right now we're live on 12. We've got a few contracts signed we're just finishing up integrations with, but as of today, we're on the 12th. I'm not as close to programmatic as a lot of people seem to think I am. Twelve is what, like half of them out there, or my impression is 12 is like 1% of them. Doug Lusted: So it's a little complicated. There are SSPs and DSPs. The DSPs, yeah, there are 80 of them out there, but not all of them are doing digital out-of-home advertising, only a small fraction of them are. What we're doing is aggregating all of the SSPs into one link, the supply side, the supply-side ones that actually do digital out of home. There are tons of supply-side platforms out there that you can join your website, but for digital out-of-home, there aren't that many out there yet. So I would say, of the active ones right now, we have a large majority of them. Tell me about the business. You founded it. Is it completely bootstrapped, self-funded or have you been involved with private equity or VC companies? Doug Lusted: Yeah, we're VC-backed. So in 20014 ish, when we were just doing the analytics, we raised a small seed round, and we went through an accelerator in Silicon valley called 500 Startups, and then when we launched AdStash, we raised a second round of funding, a bigger round of funding to help push this product. Where are you at in terms of the size of the company? Doug Lusted: So right now, we're at 13 and growing. It's been unique for us during the pandemic, we've done fully virtual and we were hiring during the pandemic too. So it's been interesting to have a team with some members you've never met before. We were surprised to figure out that some of our employees are like 6'4”. We had no idea they were like these big people, so it's been a unique experience, but a majority of our team is software developers. We're not a heavily focused sales and marketing organization because that's what our programmatic partners do for us. They're doing all the sales. So of that 13, the majority of them are software developers. And we were talking before we turned on the recorder that you moved from downtown Toronto to the burbs. Based on the last year and a half, are you concluding that, hey, we don't really need a physical office or any of those things? Maybe we have a kind of virtual rented office and a mailbox kind of thing and it'll do because so many tech companies have gone that way? Doug Lusted: Yeah. Speaking on behalf of our company, I don't think we need an office. We like to do monthly hangouts where we'll all meet somewhere. Just rent an office for a day and talk strategy and whatnot. But when it comes to the day-to-day operations, we don't need an office. Again, software developers, most of the time, are locked away coding, they don't really need an office. They don't want to talk to other humans anyways. Doug Lusted: Yeah, exactly. But yeah, as long as they have a kitchen nearby, things are good. So for us, we'll keep doing the virtual way. That being said, it has presented interesting scenarios in terms of culture. It's very hard to build a company culture virtually, there's only so many things you do. So that's why we really like to implement at least monthly hangouts where the whole team comes together in person and does something to try and build that culture. That is what's probably important to keeping virtual employees nowadays, because if they can get a new job without having to move and just simply saying yes, you gotta build that company culture to want to entice them to come work for you every day. Yeah. It would be pretty easy to leave if you have absolutely no emotional attachment to the people you're working with. You don't know how tall they are. (Laughter) This has been great. Just a quick question. If people want to know more, where do they find AdStash? I'm guessing, it's AdStash.com. Doug Lusted: Yeah. AdStash.com. Best way to get us. All right. Thanks a bunch. Doug Lusted: Thanks, I really appreciate you having us on.
This quickie was from our episode Loved, Lusted, and Hated about Spank Me, Mr. Darcy by Lissa Trever and Jane Austen. Karen loved her birthday book and was keen to talk about the tops and bottoms, masters and slaves, and subs and doms. The book was a retelling of Pride and Prejudice with Mr. Darcy as master and Elizabeth Benet as a potential slave. Luckily for the reader, BDSM was just a way of life in Hertfordshire. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, The Bingly's, Mr. Collins, and of course our dear Charlotte Lucas are all engaged in the practice of some kind. This blathering is our entirely uninformed thoughts and feelings about what it is and what it might be to be top, bottom, slave, master, dominate, or sub. Ivy did some research a decade ago. Kandy is just winging it. Maybe someday soon we will talk to someone who knows about this stuff. If you know a sexpert that would want to be a guest and talk about this dynamic with us please reach out on our contact page or through Instagram or Facebook.
In this Pride and Prejudice adaptation, Spank Me, Mr. Darcy, Lissa Trevor throws in just the right about of bondage and spankings. The post Loved, Lusted & Hated – Pride and Prejudice and Bondage appeared first on What The Smut.
It's time to talk about Karen's Birthday book and it's a real treat! This episode is about "Spank Me, Mr. Darcy" by Lissa Trevor and Jane Austen. In this Pride and Prejudice adaptation, Lissa Trevor throws in just the right about of bondage and spankings. We rated this one Erotic 'cause... well like I said bondage and spankings. Lissa Trevor uses Jane Austens' original prose and adds a twist on the story by including more sex play than you can shake a shoe rose at! The Binglys enjoy loads of bisexual play and, of course, Mr. Darcy is the dom of doms. This was a divisive book! Half rated 1 and half 5! In Karens' sex toy corner she gifted Mr. Darcywith just what he needed. A gorgeous riding crop from marrysflower Don't forget to vote who you would Fuck, Marry Kill.
À l'origine de Lusted Men il y a six femmes et un constat : il existe trop peu de photographies érotiques d'hommes* et celles qui existent sont soit cachées soit souvent perçues comme homoérotiques. Alors comment réinventer nos désirs ? C'est la question à laquelle mes invitées d'aujourd'hui ont tenté de répondre en lançant en 2019 un appel à contribution auprès de photographes professionnel.les ou amateurices. Il s'agissait simplement d'envoyer une photographie érotique d'un mec et de répondre à un petit questionnaire. Des contributions, elles en ont reçues plus d'un millier venant de 230 personnes. Vous verrez qu'à l'heure actuelle il y en a même beaucoup plus ! Alors on va tenter de décortiquer tout ça avec trois d'entre elles : Salomé Burstein, Laura Lafon et Marion Chevalier ! Saluons aussi chaleureusement : Margaux Oren, Morgane Tocco et Lucie Brugier, également membres de ce merveilleux collectif. *s'identifiant comme tel.le.s Mon traditionnel merci à David Walters d'accepter que j'utilise son morceau «Mama» pour le générique ! Mais aussi à Marc Beyney-Sonier et Lucas Blanchy du média Projets qui ont eu la gentillesse de m'offrir la possibilité d'enregistrer dans le formidable studio Penny Lane !

Psalm 106 The Treasury of David. Starting with v 6. Though they would not wait God's will, they are hot to have their own. When the most suitable and pleasant food was found them in abundance, it did not please them long, but they grew dainty and sniffed at angel's food, and must needs have flesh to eat, which was unhealthy diet for that warm climate, and for their easy life. This desire of theirs they dwelt upon till it became a mania with them, and, like a wild horse, carried away its rider. For a meal of meat they were ready to curse their God and renounce the land which floweth with milk and honey. What a wonder that the Lord did not take them at their word-

ABC's Peter Lusted joins D'Arcy and Goran to talk about the latest in Australian Sport, including Israel Folau's ongoing fight against Rugby Australia' and the woes of the Brisbane Broncos and Penrith Panther in the NRL.LISTEN TO PETER LUSTED TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVE.
Greg Inglis has announced his immediate retirement from rugby league.The Rabbitohs captain revealed his decision on Monday, calling it quits on his glittering career nearly two years earlier than he'd planned to.The 32-year-old, who has claimed multiple premierships alongside a lengthy representative career, arrived at South Sydney headquarters to deliver the news."I think it's time and it's the right decision for me," an emotional Inglis told the media on Monday morning. "I've been contemplating it for a while now."As of today, it's official. There's been a lot of speculation out there. My body hasn't given up on me, but I think it's time for me. It's time for me to go and just enjoy life and look after the four horses I have now."It's been an incredible journey ... a remarkable ride.One of the most decorated players of the 21st century, Inglis has been battling a serious shoulder problem and hasn't played since he was injured in round two against St George Illawarra.He ends his tenure on the field with 263 games under his belt, not including 32 Origin appearances and 39 Kangaroos caps."Most of the boys were pretty shocked even though they knew it was coming," Inglis continued. "They were taken aback by it. What I'll miss most is the dressing shed."Inglis was thrown a curveball mid-press conference with a reporter asking him why he chose to play for Queensland in State of Origin despite being born on NSW's mid north coast."I chose to go to Queensland because I was happy up there and felt more at home. I felt wanted and felt I belonged there," he said.The legendary back squashed any thought of him jumping on the winning side, reminding fans he joined the Maroons in a slump."NSW was on the brink of winning four straight," he said, before dropping another rib-tickling one-liner."I was from Kempsey, which is just on the other side to Coolangatta."Rabbitohs coach Wayne Bennett reflected on the Queensland great's career and declared him one of the finest NRL players of his generation."It's the hardest part in a footballer's life to know when your time is up."Through conversations with people around him, he's been able to come to a decision he is comfortable with. He has a wonderful reputation and is one of the finest players of his generation."The end was always in sight for Inglis but it was never meant to come this soon. Still Queensland's State of Origin captain, he planned to bid farewell to the representative arena in 2019 before ending his NRL career at the end of next season.Instead though, a poor range of movement in his left shoulder has him struggling to lift his arm above his head or away from his body.Dragons skipper James Graham told Fox Sports he "couldn't believe" the Queensland great was set to bow out."He deserves better ... not everyone gets a fairytale exit from the game," he said.Damaging at both centre and fullback in club and representative football, Inglis made his name as Melbourne began their dominant era in 2006 and remained part of the Storm's success until forced to leave amid the salary cap scandal.He landed at Redfern desperate to end the Rabbitohs' title drought, doing so in the 2014 grand final as he scored the final try and sent the burrow into delirium.He was just as dominant at representative level, forming arguably the greatest centre-wing combination in State of Origin history with Darius Boyd on Queensland's left edge.There he scored the majority of his 18 Origin tries, while also crossing the line 31 times in 39 Kangaroos appearances.
LISTEN TO PETER LUSTED TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVEThe Brisbane Broncos ended a 25-year partnership with coach Wayne Bennett yesterday by voicemail.Broncos CEO Paul White confirmed in a press conference yesterday that he couldn't get hold of Bennett after several attempts to call him. Instead he had to make him aware of his axing by a voicemail message."I made multiple phone calls and I unfortunately had to communicate that decision via voice message and over email," White said."You might ask was that disappointing? Yes it was. But such was the nature of this whole issue that it was important that we had it resolved, particularly before the players returned tomorrow. I wasn't in a position to speak to him directly."The Broncos confirmed that South Sydney Rabbitohs coach Anthony Seibold will replace Bennett, who won six titles with the Broncos, immediately after an initial contract was set to begin in 2020.Bennett, also the current England coach, meanwhile replaces Seibold in South Sydney bringing forward the swap a year early.Bennett will return to Brisbane in round eight next season as coach of the Rabbitohs."We were certainly disappointed with the way that played out," White said."Today's decision has certainly not been easy. It's a very tough decision, one we never saw coming. We no longer had faith that we could give ourselves the best chance of performing if we continued on the path we were continuing on."Bennett first became Broncos coach for the club's inaugural season in 1988 as part of a 20-year stint which saw the club win six titles.He then left to coach the Dragons in 2009, winning the NRL title in 2010, where he coached for three seasons before taking over the Knights for three seasons.In 2015 he returned to Brisbane as the club made the grand final before losing a thriller to the North Queensland Cowboys.Bennett had already signed a deal to join the Rabbitohs in 2020 on a two-year contract, which is now extended to a three-year deal, the club announced last night."I'm really pleased it's all resolved and that I can join this great club with a free mind, knowing I did the right thing by the fans, staff and players," Bennett said."It's a wonderful club, South Sydney, and I feel privileged to have the chance to coach this team."
LISTEN TO AUSTRALIAN CORRESPONDENT PETER LUSTED TALK WITH CRAIG CUMMING ABOVE'Disturbing, systematic arrogance has been revealed as rife throughout Cricket Australia in key findings from independent cultural reviews following the ball tampering scandal in South Africa.The reviews paint a damning picture of the Cricket Australia culture and the impact it had on the way the Australian cricket team conducted itself on the field.Australian cricket captain Tim Paine opened a Cricket Australia press conference on Monday by announcing a new-formed players' pact, a document that was created as a product of the player-led review chaired by former Test opener Rick McCosker.The final details of the pact were drawn up last month after an informal meeting of the nation's most influential cricketers, male and female, and stresses the importance of fair play on and off the field.Paine said "not a hell of a lot" has to change about how his team has conducted itself in recent tours.Paine's media conference came at the same time as Cricket Australia's independent review into the wider culture of Australian cricket's governing body was released.The review, conducted by Simon Longstaff, found the Cricket Australia culture is "arrogant", "bullying" and "dictatorial" in a 145-page document released on Monday.Longstaff concluded there is a direct link between the actions of Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft during the Sandpaper cheating episode in Cape Town and the competitive, bullish culture created at executive level in Cricket Australia.Smith and Warner are the central characters of the review — and their behaviour is seen as symptomatic of the troubled culture of professional cricket in Australia.The review found the promotions and accolades given to Warner and Smith, despite their record number of ICC Code of Conduct strikes, reinforced a win-at-all-cost culture with no second thought to player behaviour."Over recent years, David Warner and Steve Smith have attracted the highest number of Code of Conduct breaches for international matches," the review said."However, in the last two years, both men have been honoured — suggesting that poor behaviour is not considered to be linked to the concept of poor performance.The review also accuses Australia of failing to take accountability for its own failings that contributed to the ball tampering scandal."The severe punishments handed out to Cameron Bancroft, Steve Smith and David Warner in the wake of Newlands is cited as an example of this — where CA is seen to have failed to accept its share of the blame for what transpired," the review found.The report highlights concerns about the "commericalisation of cricket", a win-at-all costs mentality, "multiple instances of disrespect running through CA", the "normalisation of verbal abuse in Australian men's cricket" and that the "incidence of verbal abuse extends beyond player behaviour".The executive summary notes that "CA is perceived to say one thing and do another"."The most common description of CA is as "arrogant" and "controlling". The core complaint is that the organisation does not respect anyone other than its own. Players feel that they are treated as commodities."The ball-tampering incident ... can be seen as an aberration. It can be dismissed as the failure of a handful of players."However, to think this would be mistaken. We have spoken with players who are reluctant to challenge the errant behaviour of their teammates - just in case it puts them off their game and leads to a loss."Every measure suggested by The Ethics Centre has either been accepted by CA's board or is under consideration, with the exception of a request that Test and ODI players are excused from playing Twenty20 Internationals to ensure they are available for at least two Sheffield Shield games and one grade game per summer.
They've worked in Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Croatia, Greece, Bali and the Carribean. At one point, Ross had a job in Singapore while Sunny was in Chicago – and somehow, they ended up commuting and making it work. The couple were drawn back to Australia, though, because Ross had his eye on a restaurant location in Sydney: it had been his dream venue for 10 years. And once the site became available, the pair turned it into The Bridge Room (despite a floor that literally exploded and some awkward $50,000 phone calls to ensure the interiors met heritage restrictions). Previously, Ross worked for Neil Perry – and, after an injury that kept Ross out of the kitchen, the chef ended up overseeing Neil Perry's airplane meal range for Qantas; he even got to test the food in an airplane simulator. Ross and Sunny have many great tales about their travels abroad: from changing people's lives with Thai food in Croatia, visiting Noma in its early days and discovering surprising uses for popcorn in Bhutan. They also reveal the back story to launching The Bridge Room, which is currently one of the country's most well-regarded restaurants.

LISTEN TO PETER LUSTED TALK WITH CRAIG CUMMING ABOVEPhilippines coach Chot Reyes has conceded he didn't hear any Australian Boomers racially abuse his players during last week's ugly brawl in Manila.In an interview on SportsCenter Philippines, Reyes was asked if Australia's players used derogatory terms to describe the Philippines players."No, I can say honestly that's fake news," Reyes said."I didn't hear or didn't have any notion that they were calling our players those terms at halftime, so I didn't see it."This Reyes' statement occurred before racism claims were made by freelance photojournalist, Winston Baltasar.In an interview with Australia's ABC Radio program The Ticket, Baltasar said Australian players called Gilas Pilipinas players "monkey" during the game and before the fight.Baltasar, however, could not identify which Australian players he heard using the racial slur.The Australian Basketballers' Association (ABA) and Basketball Australia released a joint statement on Sunday slamming the claims Baltasar alleged were made during the fight-marred game between Gilas Pilipinas and Australia at the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan on July 2."We take these allegations against our players extremely seriously and are deeply disappointed the ABC should choose to publish them, Basketball Australia Chief Executive Anthony Moore said in the statement.The fight resulted in 13 ejections. The Philippine and Australian basketball federations are awaiting further disciplinary action from FIBA."We did hear the word 'monkey' being thrown around ... I couldn't hear exactly who said it, but I did hear it, and like I said when the Boomers were up by 30 points I don't think words like that should be thrown around," he said on the ABC.The Australian Basketballers' Association CEO and former Australian Boomer, Jacob Holmes, categorically refuted the claims made by Baltasar."The allegations made by Mr Baltasar are unsubstantiated and highly defamatory and we are reviewing our legal avenues to address them,'' Holmes said."The Boomers pride themselves on their inclusive and diverse composition, just like the country they represent and the comments made by Mr Baltasar and republished by the ABC have caused immense distress to our players."At no stage was Basketball Australia or the ABA contacted for comment before the allegations were published, in a clear breach of the ABC's own editorial standards."Basketball Australia Chief Executive Anthony Moore said: "Australian basketball prides itself on being a diverse sport that embraces all sections of the community. We take these allegations against our players extremely seriously and are deeply disappointed the ABC should choose to publish them."The Boomers squad for the game in Manila included Milwaukee Bucks NBA player Thon Maker who came to Australia after fleeing the war-torn South Sudan.World governing body FIBA has put together a disciplinary panel to handle the charges that will come out of the brawl which resulted in 13 players being ejected.Australian guard Chris Goulding was punched, kicked and hit with a chair. His teammate Nathan Sobey was also struck with a chair and coward punched.A fake tweet trying to falsely paint Goulding as a racist was widely condemned in the aftermath of the incident.The Philippines team accused Boomers forward Daniel Kickert of kicking Filipino players in the pre-game warm-up the game but vision clearly shows the home side instigated the incident by trying to trip Kickert.
