Eric Perner spent most of his early life and career on horseback learning the craft and trade of equine athletic competitions at the highest level.  After competing nationwide as a professional journeymen jockey for 10 years he retired and completed his Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Tulsa, he has since received his Professional Engineering license and served in multiple executive roles in the O&G industry.  Later he moved on from the extractive O&G industry and became a full time cattle rancher, Co-Founder/CEO of REP Provisions, a direct to consumer supplier of locally raised regenerative meats from local family farms, and COO of Rebellion Energy Solutions, a company focusing on the plugging of leaking O&G wells and the restoration of these lands to regenerative landscapes.  He uses his diverse skill sets to develop unique environmental solutions in the Energy Industry and for various problems facing agriculture. Eric is an educator on the topic of regenerative agriculture and his unique insights show why cattle can be an intricate and necessary part of our grassland ecosystems; however, the improper management of cattle can lead to environmental degradation.  Eric owns the Double P Ranch in Mounds, Oklahoma where they produce grass-fed beef, goat, lamb and pastured pork as part of the supply chain for REP Provisions. He operates his ranch as a Savory Global Business Hub to provide restoration grazing education and guidance for other local ranchers in the methods of holistic management to create the conditions that lead to the regeneration of our native grasslands.  In this episode, Tara and regenerative rancher Eric Perner dive into how truly regenerative agriculture restores soil, water cycles, and biodiversity while improving human health and why voting with your food dollars really matters.   RESOURCES: Learn more about Rep Provisions: Vote for the future of food with your dollar!

In the prayer we recite before the Korbanot section each morning, we express our joy over the fact that we arise early each morning to go to the synagogue and study hall, and we remain there in the evenings: "Fortunate are we! How good is our portion, how pleasant is our lot, and how exceedingly beautiful is our heritage. Fortunate are we when we rise early and stay late in synagogues and houses of study." In some editions of the Siddur, the phrase "Ke'she'anahnu Mashkimim" is written without the prefix "Ke" at the beginning. According to this version, we are exclaiming that we are fortunate "She'anahnu Mashkimim" – "that we arise early," not "when we arise early." The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes that a person should not say, "She'anahnu Mashkimim," because this would be dishonest, as most people do not arise at dawn to go to the synagogue or study hall. We should instead recite "Ke'she'anahnu," expressing that we are fortunate when we succeed in arising early to serve Hashem. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, disagreed, noting that the word is written "She'anahnu Mashkimim" in numerous texts of the earlier generations. It is found in Tana De'beh Eliyahu, the Siddur of Rav Amram Gaon, the Tur, the Seder Ha'yom, and several other sources. Hacham Ovadia explains that even one who does not rise early can recite this text – "She'anahnu" – because this word is written in the plural form, and thus refers not specifically to the individual reciting the prayer, but to the Jewish People generally, and many Jews indeed make a point of rising very early. This is comparable to the Vidui Ma'aser declaration that would be made every third and six years of the seven-year Shemitta cycle avowing compliance with the various tithing requirements (Terumot and Ma'aserot). Rashi (to Kiddushin 26a) writes that even a person who does not own land in Eretz Yisrael can make this proclamation, even though it refers to Eretz Yisrael as the land "Asher Natata Lanu" – "that You have given us" (Debarim 26:15), because this means that the land was given to the entire Jewish Nation. Even though the person himself has no portion in the Land of Israel, he can nevertheless speak of it as the land which Hashem has given "us," because the land was given to the entire nation. By contrast, a person without land in Eretz Yisrael cannot make the Mikra Bikkurim proclamation which is declared upon bringing one's first fruits, because this declaration speaks of the land "Asher Natati Li Hashem" – "that You, O G-d, have given me" (Debarim 26:10), in the first-person form. The phrase "She'anahnu Mashkimim" is written in the plural form, and thus refers to all Am Yisrael, and not specifically to the person reciting the prayer. Hence, it is legitimate even for somebody who does not rise early to recite this text. Nevertheless, most of the Siddurim that have become accepted in our community use the text "Ke'she'anahnu Mashkimim."

"Les Roches Rouges" do francês Bruno Dumont é produzido pela portuguesa Rosa Filmes, a obra rodada essencialmente no sudeste francês, perto de Cannes, aborda temas de uma infância neste cenário de escarpas vermelhas, junto ao Mar Mediterrâneo. A película estreia na Quinzena dos cineastas. O produtor Joaquim Sapinho comentou à RFIa obra e este certame, em curso até 23 de Maio. Temos o privilégio de acolher de novo o Joaquim Sapinho da Rosa Filmes. Boa tarde! Bem vindo a mais uma edição do Festival de Cinema de Cannes. Estamos juntos para falar, nomeadamente do filme "Les Roches Rouges" de Bruno Dumont, com quem já tinham colaborado no passado. E é a Rosa Films, então produtora principal por detrás desta obra. Exacto. Nós tínhamo-nos conhecido no "L'Empire" e éramos co-produtores e quando chegou a oportunidade de fazer este filme, lá estávamos nós a querer colaborar e a ajudar. Mas as dificuldades de produção do filme obrigaram nos a nós a passar a produtores principais, porque todas as dificuldades de dinheiro e também de coordenação.... O realizador queria filmar este verão que passou. E, pela primeira vez na história das relações cinematográficas dos dois países, fez-se um filme em França com uma equipa inteiramente portuguesa. É muito ao contrário, habitualmente !   É sempre ao contrário. Portanto, foi uma coisa absolutamente mágica. Quando nós tomamos conta da produção, ficou uma arquitectura com filmagem em França. Filmagem em Portugal é filmagem em Itália. Mas toda a produção é portuguesa e os outros "partners" italianos, franceses e espanhóis ficaram apenas a ajudar. Portanto, foi uma experiência única. Nós já tínhamos vivido esta experiência com o filme do Magalhães, que tinha rodagens em Portugal.   No ano passado !   Com filmagens em Espanha e tinha filmagens nas Filipinas e também do lado espanhol. Tinha corrido tudo mal. Mandámos a equipa portuguesa depois nas Filipinas também correu mal. Mandámos também a equipa portuguesa. Portanto, aqui foi o mesmo. Foi só continuar esta estratégia, Se os outros não conseguem fazer, nós conseguimos. E então o filme é de facto rodado essencialmente no sul de França, na região onde nós nos encontramos um bocadinho, também em Itália, mas também em Portugal !? O filme também teve uma parte rodado em Portugal e é sempre este prazer de fazermos filmes cosmopolitas em que quer à produção quer às histórias, retratam esta Europa que nós amamos e não apenas a ideia de nacionalismos em que toda a gente está separada.   Bruno Dumont que já teve também projectos cá em Cannes no passado, já teve prémios cá, por exemplo, com "La vie de Jésus", "L'Humanité". Agora é um filme muito sobre a infância ou sobre uma parte do litoral do sul de França, onde a fotografia tem um papel absolutamente descomunal ! Eu acho que é só olhar à volta no sítio onde estamos a fazer esta conversa aqui em Cannes e ver este mar esmeralda. O que é que há de tão especial em Saint Raphaël ? É que para lá do mar esmeralda há umas rochas vermelhas. O filme em português chama se "Escarpas Vermelhas". Encontramos um título muito bonito em francês "Les Roches Rouges". Porque, digamos, é este espaço mágico, esta jóia que é a cor azul. Mas do lado da infância. Ou seja, é um filme sobre crescer, sobre como é que se cresce. Sobre as violências de crescer e sobre os amores também. É um filme... Sobre o bem e o mal? O bem e o mal., mas é um rapaz e uma rapariga que estão apaixonados. Fazem uma escapadela para Itália no comboio, mas têm só cinco anos. Portanto, o que é fascinante aqui é que nós somos humanos, logo a partir do momento em que nascemos e começamos a crescer apaixonados e a viver riscos. Portanto, é um filme, como direi? A dizer que a vida é apaixonante e que vale a pena correr riscos. E não lhe parece que eles eram, de facto, todos bastante precoces ? Teriam cerca de cinco anos. Efectivamente viajam juntos. Ele, de forma muito fácil, acaba por passar por cima do portão para ir ter com a namorada. Ele está muito determinado, não é o rapaz? O Géo está determinado ! Ele está determinado. E o que é bonito é que porque é que o filme também é "Les Roches Rouges" ? Não é apenas uma questão plástica. É porque essas rochas são umas rochas em que em França se faz uns saltos muito arriscados. E ele está sempre a demonstrar o seu valor saltando dessas rochas vermelhas. Saltos para mergulho ! Para mergulhar e, portanto, é um filme que defende a ideia de viver como uma ideia apaixonada. É uma ideia em que não podemos, digamos, estar esmagados pelo medo para viver, mas de que é possível viver com intensidade. E aqui o americano Carlos Alfonso Coral deve ter tido um papel preponderante em relação à questão da imagem, de captar este litoral e estas escarpas vermelhas? Ele é um director muito sensível, muito poético, tem trabalhado essencialmente com o Roberto Minervino, que tem tido também os filmes aqui em Cannes. Mas e vive neste momento em Los Angeles. Ele é do México e, claro, ficou. Nunca tinha estado aqui na Côte d'Azur. E estas cores e esta dramaticidade do filme, evidentemente, permitiram-lhe a ele também responder, dando estas cores e essa dramaticidade ao cinema. Que sabor tem, então, esta estréia aqui na Quinzena dos Cineastas com este filme ? A Rosa Filmes, desde 2016 tem sempre um filme seleccionado em Cannes. Nem sei se haverá outra produtora no mundo ? Desde 2016, portanto vamos para 11 anos, não é? Todos os anos sempre um filme, e já tivemos vários filmes em que éramos nós os produtores principais, mas estes dois últimos também, quer com o Magalhães, com o Gael Garcia Bernal, realizado pelo Lav Diaz, quer agora com este filme do Bruno Dumont isto se repete. Portanto, não há outra palavra. É um prazer ! Eu acho que Cannes é um festival em que a paixão pelo cinema se sobrepõe a tudo, a todas as outras questões. E toda a gente se sente atraída por isto e, portanto, é o sítio certo para mostrar os filmes que nós fazemos. E a nossa imagem de marca também está ligada a Cannes. Então e esta septuagésima nona edição do Festival interessa-o ? Se sim, que mais lhe interessa aqui neste certame? Eu acho que há um realizador francês extraordinário. Eu acho que é o grande jovem realizador francês que é o Arthur Harari e é a sua terceira longa metragem. Também ganhou o Oscar de melhor Argumento no ano passado. Está em competição nas longas metragens, na selecção principal ! Sim, na selecção principal, nas longas metragens. E é esse filme de que foi argumentista ganhou também a Palma de Ouro há dois anos. Eu acho que o grande realizador francês agora da Nova geração é este filme. Será o filme mais entusiasmante para ver. Muitos filmes franceses, precisamente na competição, Se calhar mais do que é habitual, portanto, também se calhar provar a boa forma do cinema hexagonal, neste momento, o que é que acha ? Muitos filmes franceses e também muitos actores e actrizes franceses nos filmes estrangeiros. Exactamente. Até em filmes estrangeiros, japoneses, austríacos ! Portanto, é uma grande... Eu acho que a França é o centro do cinema europeu e pouco a pouco está a tornar-se também o centro do cinema, porque a gente vê que os Óscares estão a copiar o modelo. Este modelo europeu de Cannes e portanto temos todos que nos adaptar uns aos outros. Mas dá me a impressão que este nosso modelo do cinema europeu que tem como centro a França e Cannes, é o que está mais vivo neste momento. E finalmente, o cinema português. No meio desta dinâmica toda, como é que o vê nesta altura? Eu bem sei que é sempre complicado. É sempre a mesma dificuldade de acesso a financiamentos. No entanto, surgem sempre propostas que vão singrando internacionalmente, não é?   Dou-lhe o meu exemplo vou filmar este ano em África. Fazer um filme sobre Angola. Eu acho que vai ser o primeiro filme em que um português vai fazer o ponto de vista do outro ponto de vista dos movimentos de independência e não um filme nostálgico sobre "Ah, que pena, Portugal perdeu África". Há uns filmes que são mais engraçados a falar desse assunto, outros mais dramáticos, outros mais melancólicos. Eu não estou interessado nisso. Estou interessado é o "como é que foi este conflito e qual é o ponto de vista do outro" ? E, portanto, vou fazer um filme pela primeira vez sobre como é que os movimentos de independência se confrontavam connosco. Mas o meu ponto de vista ainda é mais complexo. Esse confronto connosco era de portugueses com portugueses. Toda a gente tinha o mesmo bilhete de identidade. Portanto, tentar ter um ponto de vista que ajude a que Portugal possa viver com o seu passado, de outra maneira.   E vão rodar também na África Equatorial, nomeadamente. A dinâmica do cinema português está em cada filme que é feito. E de quem é o argumento ? É meu. É uma história extraordinária que eu descobri, já ando a preparar o filme há cerca de dez anos, porque descubro um dia um folheto em francês sobre cinco mulheres que tinham sido presas. Não pelos portugueses lá em Angola, mas sim pela UPA, que era um movimento rival que depois se transformou no FNLA. E essas mulheres são presas e depois são mortas. Portanto, é uma tragédia enorme. E, portanto, é a primeira vez que acontece. Cinco mulheres entram na guerrilha e entram. Vêm do Congo, no quadro do MPLA, entram em Angola e depois vão ser atacadas pela UPA e vão ser mortas. E portanto é contar esta tragédia do que é que estava a acontecer de complexo dentro dos movimentos de libertação. Quando eu descobri estas mulheres, a lider chama-se Deolinda Rodrigues. Ela é actualmente o símbolo da mulher angolana. Há um dia feriado que é o dia em que ela foi morta, esta Deolinda Rodrigues. E eu, desde que conheci esta personagem, esta pessoa, este fantasma, tomou posse de mim e passei a viver obcecado com esta história. E, portanto, filmá-la. E também libertar me deste fantasma.

Nesta live especial da gas week, um time de especialistas de peso se reúne para discutir as consequências e os impactos da escalada do conflito no Oriente Médio sobre o mercado global e brasileiro de gás natural. Com os ataques envolvendo Estados Unidos, Israel e Irã, o consequente bloqueio do Estreito de Hormuz e a interrupção das exportações do Catar, cerca de 20% de todo o comércio global de Gás Natural Liquefeito (GNL) foi diretamente afetado. Em poucos dias, o mercado sentiu o golpe: os preços de referência subiram 50% na Europa (TTF) e 40% na Ásia (JKM). Quais as consequências reais para o suprimento e os preços globais? O Brasil está protegido ou nossa matriz termelétrica sofrerá com o mercado spot? E como as incertezas afetam o Leilão de Reserva de Capacidade (LRCAP)? Assista para entender o cenário completo.

Confira nesta edição do JR 24 Horas: O programa Gás do Povo entrou, nesta segunda-feira (23), na terceira fase de implementação e passa a funcionar em todos os municípios do país.  Cerca de 4,5 milhões de famílias de todo o Brasil passam a ser beneficiadas pelo programa. O Gás do Povo foi criado pelo governo federal em setembro de 2025, e vem sendo implementado de forma gradual desde novembro. O objetivo é que, até março, 15 milhões de famílias sejam incluídas no programa, que garante a recarga gratuita do botijão de 13 quilos de gás de cozinha. Para participar, a família deve ser beneficiária do Bolsa Família, ter pelo menos duas pessoas na composição familiar, renda per capita de até meio salário mínimo e cadastro atualizado no CadÚnico nos últimos 2 anos. E ainda: Tempestade de inverno fecha escolas e cancela voos na costa leste dos EUA.

O Gás do Povo é mais eficiente do que o antigo Auxílio Gás, porque evita que as flutuações no preço do botijão de região para a região impactem o acesso ao gás de cozinha por parte das famílias. 

O Gênesis da Música | Teologia Viva

In the second of the three Berachot that comprise Birkot Ha'Torah – the series of blessings we recite each morning over Torah learning – we include a prayer that we and all our descendants should be devoted students of Torah. Some Rabbis teach that one should have special intention when reciting this prayer that his children and all his offspring should grow into Torah-committed adults. This second Beracha concludes, "Baruch Ata Hashem Ha'melamed Torah Le'amo Yisrael" – "Blessed are You, O G-d, who teaches Torah to His nation, Israel." This formulation reminds us that Hashem Himself teaches us Torah. Although we are, of course, required to invest maximum effort and exertion in the pursuit of Torah knowledge and understanding, we cannot attain any knowledge or comprehension without Hashem's assistance. Whenever we attend a class, or open a book to learn, Hashem is there with us teaching us the material, and it is only because of Him that we know all that we know and understand all that we understand. I was privileged to learn with several great Rabbis who, when they encountered a difficult passage or a difficult concept, and were struggling to understand the material, they turned to Hashem and prayed for His help. They truly understood that G-d is "Ha'melamed Torah Le'amo Yisrael," that He is the one teaching us whenever we learn. This text of the Beracha should also remind us of the great stature of Torah educators. I once visited the Skverer Rebbe together with a prestigious educator in our community, and the Rebbe turned to him and asked what he did. He replied that he teaches Torah. "You are emulating your Creator," the Rebbe said. "He is a teacher – and you're following in His ways." Teaching Torah is a special privilege, and a job which should elicit our respect and esteem – if for no other reason that a Torah educator is doing precisely what Hashem does. The final blessing of Birkot Ha'Torah concludes, "Baruch Ata Hashem Noten Ha'Torah" – "Blessed are You, Hashem, who gives the Torah." Significantly, we speak of Hashem giving us the Torah in the present tense. He did not give our nation the Torah only once, at Mount Sinai. Every time we learn, He is giving it to us anew. Each and every day, and at every moment, we have the opportunity to renew our connection to Hashem by receiving the Torah from Him. We must cherish every such opportunity and seize every moment we can to strengthen our bond with our Creator by inviting Him to give us the Torah anew.

Various things can be done and continue to need to be done.Let God move your heart - He moves within everyone in different ways.We all only have one chance here - let's use what we have for the good of others.There is not really a one-size-fits-all setup. It will be different for your family as it speaks to your values and purpose.  "What we encourage people to do is start with something simple - just see if you can name three values, three words that you and your spouse feel really speaks to this and summarizes what we feel like God has called us to be as a family." —  Cale Dowell About Cale Dowell: After diving deep into the hurdles clients face when picking a financial partner, Cale determined that financial advice should offer more than just managing a portfolio.

How do you turn your resources into a tailwind for your kids, not a headwind?In this episode, Jeff and Cale discuss: Customizing your children's inheritance to what fits your family. Inheritance transfer that is led with purpose, not tax mitigation, in mind. Establishing a committed form of generosity to the Lord.The importance of communication at appropriate ages and stages.   Key Takeaways: Knowing what to give to the next generation should be more than just dividing your estate equally.  You can love your kids equally, but treat them uniquely. Giving each child the same amount may not be the right decision for your family. Are the decisions that you're making for your family based on empowering your children or controlling them?Make sure you and your spouse are on the same page with a unified purpose.   "What could you do today for your kids (or in some maybe it's grandkids or great grandkids) now to start investing in that full inheritance?" —  Cale Dowell About Cale Dowell: After diving deep into the hurdles clients face when picking a financial partner, Cale determined that financial advice should offer more than just managing a portfolio.

Have you and your spouse thought about and set your financial finish line? In this episode, Jeff and Cale discuss: When is enough enough?Being a steward and not an owner of God's resources. Orienting your life for abundance today, but also for treasures in heaven. Taking inventory of what is yours to steward.   Key Takeaways: Keeping up with the Joneses is not the finish line that brings about any sense of significance or purpose. You can't take it with you, but you can send it ahead. Change your view on giving. Instead of asking “how much should I give?” ask “how much am I allowed to keep?”Everyone will define a full life differently. But everyone who leans into their definition of a fuller life  "This speaks to another principle we have at Arkos called: have a written plan. Well, it's hard to have a written plan if you don't know where everything is, and have some semblance of what we're marching towards." —  Cale Dowell Episode References: The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn About Cale Dowell: After diving deep into the hurdles clients face when picking a financial partner, Cale determined that financial advice should offer more than just managing a portfolio.

Are you planning for the Kingdom or the world? In this episode, Jeff and Cale discuss: Thinking about your financial estate plan from a different angle.Planning your giving before you die.Generous giving as a family with a non-traditional framework of giving.The top five questions are frequently asked by generous business owners.  Key Takeaways: The three key questions: How much is enough for us? How much is enough for the kids? What do we do with the rest?There is value in community and in having like-minded advisors as you write your estate plans.You should have a financial finish line written down. You should also be on the same page as your spouse with that finish line and what is happening with any excess.It's not about the balance sheet or the barn, it is about what God tells you and your spouse to do.Write a blessing letter to your children - write why you love them, what sticks out to you about their lives, about seeing God's hand in their lives, and more. Update it over the years.  "God doesn't care about how many talents you have.

We vinden het erg leuk dat we Jeroen van Dillen en Zinzi Marchel te gast hebben voor onze aflevering over zorg buiten de richtlijn. Jeroen van Dillen is gynaecoloog/perinatoloog in het Radboudumc. Daarnaast werkt hij in het onderwijs en is van nog meer markten thuis. We zijn ook heel blij dat we van Zinzi Marchel het perspectief van de O&G verpleegkundige kunnen horen. Ook zij werkt in het Radboudumc. Samen met hen willen wij de zorg buiten de richtlijn bespreken. Waar komt deze vraag vandaan en hoe bespreek je tijdens het spreekuur of op de poli, als arts of verloskundige, met deze patiënten deze – vaak specifieke – vraag? Hoe zorg je er voor dat iedereen op de hoogte is? Wanneer iemand in het ziekenhuis bevalt dan verzorgt de verpleegkundige natuurlijk veel van de zorg; hoe is het voor hen om die zorg te leveren? Kortom, we hebben veel vragen die we aan Jeroen en Zinzi gaan voorleggen. Luister snel!

First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) projects are critical to scaling breakthrough decarbonization technologies, yet they don't fit neatly into traditional funding models. Investors, developers, and strategic partners need to navigate a complex ecosystem to make these projects bankable and viable. In this episode, I talk with David Yeh, a veteran climate tech investor and one of the key voices from our TechInvest event last autumn. He's been at the forefront of FOAK investing and is here to share what he's learned over the past year about getting these projects off the ground.David was previously featured on the Catalyst podcast discussing the challenges of funding and scaling FOAK projects. This episode builds on that conversation, covering the rapid changes in the sector and how investors and innovators can ensure their projects get the financing, partners, and expertise they need to succeed.Key Takeaways• FOAK's Core Goal: Developing bankable projects from pilot to scale, ensuring they attract investors, customers, and suppliers.• Bankability Defined: Investors need stable returns, customers need reliability, and suppliers need to be paid on time. Strong teams and risk mitigation are non-negotiable.• How to Build Bankable FOAK Projects: Expertise is more critical than capital• The Role of EPCs & Strategic Partners: Success depends on having the right engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) teams and industry partners—not just big brands, but the right people.• Coachable Founders Matter: FOAK success isn't just about having great tech; founders must understand commercialization, risk, and capital strategy.• Proven Models for FOAK Success: Companies like Fervo, Infinium, and Heirloom are demonstrating that FOAK projects can attract significant investment—if structured correctly.• Why Now is the Time to Build: Economic downturns can be an opportunity for resilient companies to thrive, as seen in past recessions with companies like Uber and Airbnb.________________________________________Top 3 Reasons to Listen to This Episode• Get Inside the Mind of a FOAK Investor: David Yeh shares first-hand insights into what makes a FOAK project investable, based on real-world deals.• Learn What's Working Now in Climate Tech: Discover how companies are securing billion-dollar funding rounds and making first-of-a-kind projects viable.• Understand the Key to Bankability: Whether you're a start-up, investor, or policymaker, this episode breaks down how to de-risk projects and bring them to market successfully.Show links: - Connect with David Yeh, Founder, Precursor- Connect with Alex Cameron, Decarb Connect (and maybe even suggest a podcast discussion theme)- If this conversation resonated, join us at Decarb TechInvest in London in June 2025 – find out more here. - If you enjoyed this conversation, find out about our portfolio of events in US, Canada, UK and Europe – or explore our Decarbonisation Leaders Network (DLN), and learn why hundreds of members from the energy-intensive sectors have joined to find their peers, identify the right solutions and to create high value collaborations that will deliver co2 reductions in our most critical industries.

The energy sector is undergoing a seismic shift, driven by advancements in geospatial technology and the unrelenting evolution of digital innovation. Traditional geotech methods are giving way to LiDAR, GPS, drone and satellite imagery, and the industry now collects more data than ever before. But how do you make sense of this crazy data-rich landscape while holding to the oil and gas ideals of accuracy, efficiency, and safety? Adding to this data overload challenge are the siloed information holdings and the need for skilled professionals who can interpret and leverage geospatial insights. From pipeline monitoring to asset management, the applications of these tools are becoming table stakes, not nice-to-haves. To be competitive, today's energy companies need to rethink how they manage geospatial data, build up predictive analytics, and break through organizational barriers to data sharing. In this episode, I speak with Lonnie Upton, an account manager at NV5 and a seasoned expert in geospatial data for oil and gas. Lonnie shares his journey from field surveying to becoming a leader in the use of cutting-edge remote sensing technologies. Together, we discuss how geospatial tools are driving efficiency, improving safety, and reshaping operations. Some of the questions we explore include: • What problems do technologies like LiDAR and AI-powered tools solve in the energy sector? • How can organizations overcome challenges of data overload and departmental silos? • What steps should companies take to ensure data quality and real-time decision-making? • Why is geospatial data a key driver for the future of energy operations? If you're unfamiliar with how geotech can make a difference, you'll really appreciate this episode  on the potential of geospatial technology and its impact on the future of energy. #NV5 #geospatial #GIS #digitaloilfield #O&G #oil&gas Reference Links For NV5

By now, you've likely noticed our refreshed look. We're evolving the show to focus on the inevitable impacts of climate change and the groundbreaking solutions shaping our future.To kick off this next chapter our first guest on Inevitable is Tom Steyer, Co-executive Chair at Galvanized Climate Solutions, a multi-strategy investment firm focused exclusively on the climate transition. A little over a year ago, Galvanize announced the final close of its Innovation + Expansion Fund at over $1 billion, one of the largest climate venture funds ever raised. Tom is also the recent author of the New York Times bestselling book, "Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War," and he wrote the Forward to Project Drawdown.In 2020, Tom was a Democratic presidential candidate with a climate-focused policy agenda, and he participated that year on the primary debate stage alongside now President Joe Biden and now VP Kamala Harris, among many other notable Democratic party leaders. He's the founder of NextGen America, the largest youth voter organization in the USA, which he created in 2013. But Tom hasn't always been focused on the energy transition and climate change. In 1986, he founded Farallon Capital Management, a multi-strategy hedge fund that he ran for over 25 years and grew to hundreds of employees and $20 billion in assets under management. His story of having incredible success in one field and then feeling the inevitable pull to work on the biggest problem of our time is exactly the type of pathway that we plan to explore on this show. *We recorded this episode live during Climate Week NYC, in front of a fantastic audience.

*This My Climate Journey podcast episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the Ion during Houston Energy and Climate Startup Week. Our guest is, Vicki Hollub, CEO of Occidental Petroleum (Oxy), a century-old oil and gas company employing over 12,000 people globally with a market cap near $50 billion. Recently the company has made significant investments into what they refer to as “carbon management” technologies including the acquisition of Carbon Engineering, a Direct Air Capture (DAC) company, in 2023 for $1.1 billion. Oxy is commercializing Carbon Engineering's technology through its 1PointFive initiative and aims to deploy 70 DAC facilities by 2035. These efforts include recently receiving draft permits from the EPA for Class VI Injection wells, enabling the permanent geologic sequestration of CO₂, an advance market commitment from Microsoft to purchase 500,000 metric tons of carbon removal, and an award from the US Department of Energy for up to $500M to build a 1M ton per year facility.The conversation covers a lot of territory. Vicki acknowledges climate change and its effects on extreme weather and natural ecosystems, while also stating that Oxy does not view the energy transition as a shift away from oil and gas. Instead, she describes a future where oil and gas exploration could become carbon-negative through advancements in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), a technology that uses CO₂ to extract fossil fuels from otherwise depleted wells.This is a notable interview for MCJ as Vicki is the first oil and gas CEO we've had on the show. We believe it's important to understand how a company like Oxy, which has a very large greenhouse gas emissions footprint, thinks about its future plans. We also know that many who listen to this show are interested in Oxy's DAC efforts and their perspective on the future of the technologies and markets around it. Vicki became CEO in 2016, the first woman to lead a major American oil company. We are grateful to Katie Mehnert of ALLY Energy for connecting us with her for this conversation.In this episode, we cover: [03:28] Navigating the trust gap between O&G companies and the public[06:42] Vicki's early career path[08:32] The O&G boom in the Permian Basin in the mid-2000s[11:18] Vicki's path to becoming the first female CEO at Oxy[17:15] Changing dynamics and priorities while running a complex company like Oxy[18:00] How Vicki pitched Warren Buffet to invest in Oxy and navigated the impacts[21:11] How Oxy attracts and retains talent, plus generational differences[26:36] Challenges and opportunities Oxy sees in the energy transition[30:45] Navigating urgency relative to long-term planning[34:01] How the transition of innovation and legacy businesses could play out[44:36] Oxy's focus on carbon management, including direct air capture[49:55] Challenges in scaling DAC, including partnerships and funding[53:46] Vicki's thoughts on achieving a net-zero carbon barrel of oil[59:44] Her perspectives on the future of the oil and gas industry and its evolutionEpisode recorded on Sept 11, 2024 (Published on Oct 1, 2024) Get connected with MCJ: Cody Simms X / LinkedInMCJ Podcast / Collective / YouTube*If you liked this episode, please consider giving us a review!

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo', confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo' desta segunda-feira (15/04/2024): O presidente americano, Joe Biden, pressionou ontem por uma resposta diplomática internacional ao ataque do Irã a Israel, na noite anterior, numa tentativa de impedir que as hostilidades se transformassem numa guerra aberta que poderia envolver todo o Médio Oriente e arrastar os EUA. No primeiro ataque militar direto a Israel, o Irã disparou mais de 300 drones e mísseis em direção ao país, segundo o Exército israelense. O gabinete de guerra de Israel reuniu-se ontem para discutir possíveis respostas. Segundo militares israelenses, 99% dos mais de 300 drones e mísseis balísticos e de cruzeiro foram derrubados graças à coordenação com EUA, Reino Unido e Jordânia. O ataque foi sinalizado a países da região com 72 horas de antecedência. O G-7, que reúne as sete principais potências econômicas globais, condenou de forma unânime o ataque iraniano e pediu "moderação" às distintas partes.  E mais: Política: Lira acena ao governo e diz que agenda econômica será preservada Economia: Trabalhadores por conta própria e sem carteira aliviam taxa de desemprego Metrópole: Ambientalistas alertam que asfaltar BR-319 deve aumentar o desmate Internacional: Apoio de Milei a Musk impacta visita de chanceler ao BrasilSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets 120-107 win as Michael Porter Jr. makes his triumphant return to the court.

The Nuggets bench was also a positive (though Christian Braun wasn't out there). Ryan discusses the return of the O G starting five, a new bench unit, and what he's thankful for this Nuggets holiday season.

Trata-se de um frango assado com duas bolotas no peito, parecendo silicone (não sei como fizeram, mas ficou engraçado). Ele está sendo mantido na vertical, como se estivesse sentado, apoiado em algum vegetal branco que não dá pra entender bem o que é, sobre um prato branco simples. Um raminho de erva-doce está apoiado sobre a coxa esquerda, parecendo que está seguro ali na parte interna do braço/asa - basicamente como se ele estivesse segurando o raminho. Mais erva-doce foi usada como uma gola elisabetana ao redor do ovo cozido que faz as vezes de cabeça. Ele usa um chapéu aparentemente feito de uma cestinha de parmesão. Há bolinhas pretas fazendo os olhos e algo vagamente em formato de nariz também. O prato está sobre uma mesa com toalha verde-claro. No canto superior esquerdo, a logo do Pistolando, branca. No lado direito, número e título do episódio. A logo da Estopim está na centralizada na parte inferior, na cor branca.

Subsurface risks are pretty well known in Oil and Gas, even in sub salt regions or other exploration arenas where there are significant unknowns we invest and execute projects. So why is it that in Geothermal we don't apply a similar mindset? Why is Geothermal underfunded? Oil and Gas has brought access to energy, economic development and more to countries once thought of as non-existent in the global landscape. Today's chat with Pawl Victor of NOV dives into some of the similarities and differences between O&G and Geothermal and some of the main hurdles it faces. NOV https://www.linkedin.com/company/novglobal/https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/nov-reedhycalog/Pawl's Book recommendation The Humas by Matt HaigJRG Energy www.jrgenergy.comGRC https://grc2022.mygeoenergynow.org/CORE Knowledge https://www.linkedin.com/company/core-geothermal/Nick Cestari https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-cestari-48059268/

Theme: Does the creator reputation impact the price? Larva labs reputation - the first move by Yuga was to give license rights Punk Comics how they fell with Beanie - Crypto & NFT Influencers Are Eating Their Own  $MIM dropped with Sifu Affordable project: Human Park  NFT News Rantum NFT Market Data,  Cryptoslam.io NFT Headlines:  Why Larva Labs Sold the CryptoPunks NFT IP to the Bored Ape Creators - Decrypt  Coinbase Wallet adds support for Solana Coinbase NFT Marketplace To Launch “Soon” Links Clues Hint at Spotify NFT as More Players Push Metaverse Plays  NFTs Are Coming to Instagram Says Mark Zuckerberg - Decrypt   Transcript: [00:00:00] Today on all about affordable NFTs. We're talking about whether or not the creator's reputation dictates the value of the NFT. I'm excited to get into that theme, but first, Andrew, what are we seeing in the news? [00:00:13] Hey, George. And NFTs again yet we are seeing what we see volume trending downward over all, but it is starting to pick up a bit. I noticed on a weekly basis. So seeing it pick up a bit, and I think that's been a lot to do with board apes, recently, board apes Mutant apes, the board. [00:00:32] Is it the board kennel? Sorry, board Abe kennel club. The three projects. Taking a lot of volume recently, there was anticipation of a big drop or drop of a new token, the ape token from the board a creator's you, the labs that has now dropped, and we've definitely seen a ton of volume there. So I think that's been part of, what's been picking up the volume, but I think that's also a spurred some activity away from those projects, as well as, some people are selling and help a lot more ease than they had, especially if they've been long-term holders. [00:01:04] That's interesting because you're looking at an overall market past seven days, ish, up 20, 25%. But the interesting thing it's I'm not holding back. Abe anything. And so I see all this activity, I'm like, nice, but so what, it's not helping the long tail, the market, which still feels a little chilly to me. [00:01:20] But what you're saying is when some of that profit taking occurs, it actually can lead to smoothing out in the market and money chasing up. What's the next aid. What's the next piece that people may be jumping in.  [00:01:31] Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've seen some bigger sales know. Some notable collections some bigger sales and squiggles. Some punks have certainly rallied on news that we haven't gotten to this yet, but the news that UGA labs has actually purchased the IP to them. That's improve the price. [00:01:48] There need bits as well from larva labs and I've seen some big artists like X copy getting some big sales. So I think there is some some sort of distribution going on. As board apes have certainly had the top price. You're not being said after the token dropped the price, the floor price would drop quite a bit. [00:02:06] I think it had reached over a hundred. Before the airdrop and then dropped to, I don't know, maybe in the eighties after that. I also wouldn't say that's really much of a loss if you did get the airdrop I don't know what it was worth, but I I think it was a pretty hefty sum for anyone that was holding an actual board, a. [00:02:23] Yeah. And you're talking about that news of larva labs, literally getting bought by you, the labs our Villa. The famous creators of punks and also me bits. And you go the upstart from last year, the creators of board apes and all of the derivatives inside of that, literally just bought it up. [00:02:41] Yeah.  [00:02:42] I would've never predicted  [00:02:43] Than the price flipping. This is really a passing of the  [00:02:47] it's not a flipping. It's a binding.  [00:02:49] Yeah. And I don't know that it's really passing the torch. I think, as we'll discuss verbal labs had not necessarily handled a lot of different issues the best and you iLabs has certainly Written this wave quite well to a, they've got a great reputation. [00:03:04] They are commanding a hefty price. Their valuation has skyrocketed. And they've used that to go ahead and just buy the IP, but this, and, I think it has, as I said the price of both punks and B bits have gone up quite a bit on the news of this. So that's saying something that just because it came out of the creator's hands, the price improves. [00:03:25] Yeah, we'll definitely be able to dig into that a bit. And we have some other news from the Coinbase NFT marketplace to wait for it launch exactly on Soon.  [00:03:36] Soon. That's what we get. Oh, come on. I thought we had real news here, George. [00:03:41] as bad as the people with as click baity title saying.  [00:03:45] So actually we do have some Coinbase news. They are adding support for Solana Coinbase wallet does adding support for Solano, which I think is actually fairly notable Solano hasn't hasn't always been. Fully embraced by a lot of the crypto community, but I think this will obviously give a lot more people access to it, to use it in on marketplaces. [00:04:07] The FTX NFT marketplace has been very active in this will make it easier for the people that hold Coinbase funds to go use them on FTX and Solano. [00:04:16] Yeah, I, more the merrier and especially on a platform like Coinbase, which makes it easy to move money back and forth and across that's all well and good. And they'll just increase the size of the market. Hopefully we also have in here a little Spotify informations and that they may be getting into a metaverse play. [00:04:37] What is that?  [00:04:37] Yeah, that's a good question. It sounds like it's been a lot, or there's been a lot of NFT talk at south by Southwest. And Zuckerberg took took the stage at one point and mentioned that NFTs are coming soon to Instagram. We don't have a date, but it sounds like they will be able to, or they're going to offer you a minting option. [00:04:55] So it will be a. Real NFT marketplace of sorts. Sounds like they're going to call them digital collectibles. I think that's a good move to get away from the NFT name. It's it doesn't have the best reputation as is, and it isn't the easiest to say necessarily. [00:05:10] Yeah. [00:05:11] I think rebranding, it might as well call it whatever you want. If it's on chain and we can. Transfer it and buy it and sell it. And it gets more people playing with the medium. That's awesome. Now, call it hats on cats for all I care, but I like the Spotify getting into it. Cause that's that music angle that we've been seeing more and more of and helping artists hopefully monetize more effectively their work like this. [00:05:35] And  [00:05:36] I'm sorry, did you actually mention the Spotify news? And I talked about Instagram being there. I think that's what I may have just done. And anyway, they're both getting into it, but I think the Spotify it'll be interesting to see how they actually use NFTs. I noticed recently that somewhat related news move Snoop dog took down a few of the death row records from streaming services like Spotify. [00:06:01] And there was news recently to get Botts death row records and is planning to attorney turn it into a metaverse record label. We'll see how that plays out. But Spotify is also seeing that maybe they need to make some moves before creators want to just take it on themselves to do it and not give it to a platform like Spotify. [00:06:17] That's very interesting. I hadn't thought of that. Yeah, I think he was able to turn out a tiny profit of a hundred Ethan sales based on one of the recent record album drops that he had. People are taking note and that means people have to move very fast. I think that is a definite takeaway here. [00:06:34] One of the reasons we are seeing south by Southwest, a very arguably most popular trend setting technology and innovation, marketing and music film, also conference that happens in Austin, Texas every year, being dominated by an FTS is the fact that with this new tech consider for a moment what if, Microsoft suddenly was appended by a company that just started making computers last year. [00:06:58] Think about the fact that you go labs didn't exist and where you had the incumbent larva labs already operating since 2017 had a, a huge advantage and relatively speaking within short order of 12 months, less than that, boom you're purchased. This is a weird. It's very exciting. It's very interesting. [00:07:16] Should we move into, to the affordable project though? Andrew? [00:07:18] Yeah, it sounds like you've got one here for us today, George. [00:07:21] So I've been feeling a little guilty. I was down last week, just in general, my portfolio. I just felt like I wasn't bringing the heat. So I have done some digging and I think we've got some gems this week, but I'm to, I'm going hit it hard right off the bat with human. Human park.io is something I've been watching for a little bit. [00:07:41] It's coming out of the, our friends that Zed at Zed run. As I'm a avid collector and it basically, they are a docs team. It's virtually human studios that has created it. Human. As by their description in the white paper, where everyone can truly explore their identity, human park, easy next gen web three experience platform combines community construction of the metaverse could become an explore the very next level of human interaction. [00:08:09] Basically they've got these nudes spelled N O D nudes, and it is a sort of full 3d figure that lets you explore. Cool your identity. Each one is like a blank canvas. And so the mint is coming now. There've been doing it in various ways, but there'll be opening up to the public. The mint fee is said to be essentially just the cost of minting. [00:08:32] Based on what I've read online the original news will be originals and I'll carry that title. And it seems as though they're going to be true avatars for exploring a space. Now there is. Tech that you download an actual application and I've gone through this process, download the application, and then you can literally just throw up a whole bunch of decorative tattoos on this very realistic looking and breathing nude. [00:08:57] And it can be either a type a or type B, but it's an, it's a male archetype or female. Image, and it's very impressive tech. I would say I played with the pixel Mon. It is the exact opposite of what pixel minded people in terms of does the thing work. And so it's interesting and there is a lot of work that's gone into it and they've been clearly. [00:09:18] Doing a lot of work on it. It's a little weird when you look at it at first. Cause it's like faceless avatars that move around and you can begin to see what they're starting to do. A, what do you see on this one, Andrew?  [00:09:29] Yeah. So I'm actually trying to download the configure what they call the configurator right now, or I am downloading it and playing with it. I have been following this for a bit. I hadn't had a chance to actually try the the download here. I see it is available for both PCs and apple machines right off the bat. [00:09:48] So I think that is a plus And as you mentioned, we were talking about this a little bit just before we started recording gear. And you mentioned that the graphics are. They're really good. It's a lot of details. So it's a, it's interesting when you're creating these that you'd see a lot of detail here. [00:10:03] I'm opening this up now. So I, the discord seems like they've been very active there. They have, they post updates often. Maybe they get too many of them, but I see that they're very active in, they're definitely working on this. It sounds like the. The mint, there's a good opportunity to actually mint when they become available and, and I think that's one of the good things about the market right now is that it's a little bit quieter. [00:10:24] You don't have to to necessarily pay ridiculous gas fees to look, once in a while, they'll still be things catching on like that. So we don't know. We have an actual date on the the mid yet George. [00:10:34] It's a good question. I think they extended it. Certainly next week, it looks like. And because one of the things is after you've designed your your nude it locks in at a certain point, cause it's connected with your wallet. So careful as you're designing. And I don't want you to get locked in with something you don't like. [00:10:50] Again, it's related, it's the same project inside of the human studios that Zed is associated with. And. It's going, it's very early and this is a team that builds for the longterm. So it gives me a little bit of comfort in that, like it's not one and done. And if they if the probability of a rug bull is very low because of its association with such an established project and the exact vacs team, and it's not entirely clear how these things are going to use, but they have plans and they have some really cool looking texts. [00:11:19] So who knows there's going to be. Blended experience. They talk about like battle Royale and free roaming and like roadblocks and Minecraft esque type of activities. So there's a lot out there. And it's super early and I like bringing things that are early and fordable so take a look and we'll continue to share ideas and what's happening. [00:11:39] But again, not financial advice, I'm talking about new data guitars in the metaverse. Catch it with all due financial information and respect as possible.  [00:11:47] All right. Thank you for bringing that one. George. I think we can move on to our topic today does create a reputation dictate value, and we have. Hinted at the topic a bit, discussed it a little in relation to UGA labs and larva labs and how their reputations have certainly gone different ways this past year. [00:12:08] And it's it's really resulted in a big win for you. The labs. What's your take on this overall George. [00:12:15] It really struck me because I saw it once saw twice or three times where in the news, there was a story of a founder or a team doing something that pissed off the community because it violated. The sense of justice, right? Humans are a justice oriented social creature, and we can see this, find this and track this quite easily on the blockchain, which just means if you screw over somebody in the community, if you screw over a past project, screw a past, partner, if you do something that just violates our social sense of right and wrong, there is this. Immutable inevitable human reactions, social reaction, community response of punishment. It's like in our hard wiring. And I just was in all watching that certainly w how angry I was with larva labs. I don't know no punk. I don't, I used to own a need it, but, obviously I sold way too early on that. [00:13:13] And I was pissed. I was pissed that day over at larva labs sold an O G thing just as a money grab. And, we covered that in the past episode, in it started to you realize potentially undo the brand value and drop the potential equity of people that are holding it. Despite the fact that they were literally the, the original enters the creators of Ponce, like all you had to do is sit there and not, don't be eating. [00:13:40] And somehow I think that really, we have some other stories in here, but yes, the answer to the theme is yes. Does the creator reputation dictate value? Absolutely. that's where my head's at on this.  [00:13:51] I agree. And I think we've talked about. In different ways in the past, we've talked some about how your NFTs and really your enough key, because it can be changed by the creators or the project developers at any point. And that is true for a lot of NFTs and there is something to you've gotta be able to trust that team. [00:14:08] That's leading the project. And if. I trust them to lead the project, those things, aren't going to be worth that much anyway, and so we've seen, I think in relation to that, even we've seen larva labs put their punks on chain and that didn't do much for the price. I don't think that is as important as a lot of people make it out to be it's important, but it's not the be all end all. [00:14:31] I don't think that. I think it would be at a bigger risk if all of the punk images somehow are gone even from IPFS. And are we even everywhere that they are backed up? I think there's probably a bigger issue than whether it's on chain or not. Punks are certainly one of the ones that you would think would have the most security in terms of there being image or records of these images. [00:14:53] So I think we're always at risk of. Of what the project creator, the really dictating the value of the project. [00:15:01] Yeah. And then the other thing you saw the UGA labs team doing immediately. Was giving, I guess it's the licensing rights, the creative rights to the owners of punks for the images, the NFTs that they hold, they had just immediately did it overnight, as soon as they grabbed it, which again is another big signal to the community that like, this is the right way to play.  [00:15:22] Yeah, it seems like that is holding a lot of value, right? I think you can be, it can be debated how much value that has when there are, 10,000 copies of that, but people want it. And the thing is the creators still have rights to plenty of images assuming they hold pieces from this. So I think that's a really smart move. [00:15:39] It seemed to be something. Drawing a lot of controversy, some from some of the big punk holders that, notably sold because of the IP issues and, there's really no reason. Those were some of the biggest supporters, the people that were on social media, talking the most about punks that sometimes, and they certainly helped increase the exposure and the value of punks. [00:15:59] So to not just give them what they were saying is this, the standard in. What should be the standard and NFTs. And they were looking at larva labs to, to lead the NFT community into this space and, or, in this space and say, no, this is the right way. You should give people the creative license to do what they want with their image, because that's what the people want. [00:16:18] And that. This is going to that's what the market's going to value as well. And Ecolab saw that and they did it right away and, then they came out with the the ape token and I'm sure that they've realized that having that. So I should say that. The anybody that's holding a punk or me that did not get any of the AP token. [00:16:35] Those were for just board apes and the derivatives there. But I still think it was a great move to just show that they are still giving value to their community. I don't think that it could be expected that these holders, that they have, the ID that they just acquired in the same week, we would get that airdrop. [00:16:50] But regardless, like I said, it's something that shows how much value they give back to their community. And it wasn't asking them to go buy another. For two and a half eith or, after they gave or giving half of it away, just a very different model, a very different way to, to handle the community from the two creators here. [00:17:06] Yeah, Carefully. I did look at the eight token and I was looking, scouring around for affordable projects. Just be careful if you have the FOMO and feel like, oh, here's the chance I can buy this token. Just historically consider what has happened when tokens have been dropped in mass to a bunch of people for free and whether or not they're all in on holding it indefinitely versus taking some. [00:17:30] Inevitably I can't find a counterexample to what I'm going to say, tokens that are dropped in this way. Initially see a price drop because of the profit taking. So be careful with running, running directly in this direction and just throwing money at this, trying to follow into it. [00:17:47] So I will say that there though it is, I'm super excited. Also on the sort of punk train here, punk comics fell off an absolute cliff December. They literally go. And I looked back, trading average floors of over five E on punk comics to. Currently, well under, like it's like 0.1, right? [00:18:11] They fall off a cliff because of the reputational reveal and sort of identity of beanie coming out that in fact the individual behind. Punk comics was called out by NFT ethics among others to actually have been part of certain pump and dumps and other things where he was taking advantage of investors. [00:18:34] And it just it torched it, it torched the project overnight, simply because of his role as founder. [00:18:40] Yeah, that's a good example there. That was when he was always somewhat of a, it's always been somewhat of a controversial figure on social media. Had certainly. Ben in his share of Twitter arguments and people were, I dunno, maybe looking for something on him anyway, and, turns out that he had a lot more dirt on him and yet you're right. [00:18:57] That completely destroyed the value of that. Pretty quickly too. And we've seen this in other projects, we S some lesser known projects. Also see, we discussed one with some. The magic internet money and some related projects there at one point with Sifu, with a developer who had been part of a previous crypto scam that saw a hundred and some odd million dollars disappear. [00:19:20] And then it was turned out that he was connected to this. I also recall there was one out from the magic marketplace where a developer there was linked to some other scammy and Ft project. Ben had death and proven to take quite a bit of money from there. And the token dropped initially I think 20, 30%. [00:19:39] It did recover. They eventually had another hack that caused other issues there, but that's of course that's another topic that we have. Talked about in a funny times in the past. But yeah, we see this again and again, where there aren't, especially when so much of the project depends on one or two people being part of it that, if they, if there's something wrong or if they leave the project even, it really can hurt the value of the NFT that the token, whatever it may be really quickly. [00:20:02] Yeah, I think there's a unique, there's a unique difference between leaving a project versus the reputation ruined aspect, which is just immediately reflected in price. But also, I don't think I've always fully maybe mapped to the risk of NFTs that you're really betting on this creator in a. Memorials social way that I think just adds a bit of risk to an already risky ASCA asset.  [00:20:30] Absolutely. We've talked a bit, not on the podcast. I don't believe we talked a bit about how artists are, especially at risk when you're holding their pieces, because that is literally one person in most cases. And we've got one person, They think person and, doing things, that, anybody's doing they're, they are capable of ruining a reputation, which could destroy the value. [00:20:51] You don't know what's going to happen regardless of whether the person is doxed or not. You've really don't eat no at any point what their future may hold and what the value of their pieces may do as a result. [00:21:02] Yeah. [00:21:03] the art defines the artists and that interpretation, it's. In a more intimate way. It feels like then maybe in the past where, like artists have been known to be a-holes, but they're like, oh, I respect the work. And you can identify the work separate of the artist and the artists and 10 you're like okay. [00:21:19] Nothing comes to mind. I don't like throwing stones that way, but it's certainly true. But it is maybe a different way because we're such a community. Oriented and the way the value is ascribed and able to be done so quickly that it's just a higher expectation and maybe a new threshold to take a look at. [00:21:37] When you say like, all right, here is the team capital T behind this, do they know what they're doing? Are they good at what they're doing? Are they trustworthy? Would they make the right moral decision? Especially look, people get a little baddy sometimes when they get a bunch of money in their pocket. Okay. How are you going to respond? If this suddenly starts to like, take off, are you going to realize oh, we have $70 million and we drummed, we dropped a bunch of shit on people. Pixel Mon what are we going to do to fix this? Or should we just take this money? Cause that's a lot of freaking.  [00:22:09] Yeah, that's a good point. That's a tough one to come back from as well. That picks them on case when the reputation is destroyed like that, it takes a lot to try to come back and they certainly I don't know, maybe they're trying, but it doesn't seem like they're trying hard if they haven't completely rubbed everybody at this  [00:22:26] haven't seen anything in the news. I haven't seen any updates. And it's a lifetime to repair and a data room. That's the brutal thing about reputation.  [00:22:33] Yeah. That's a great. [00:22:34] All right. I think we covered this one. Interesting topic. Thanks for bringing us news, Andrew and good luck playing with your nude.  [00:22:41] Oh,

It's good hump day. I hope I don't get fined or sued for that. This is Elliot lane, host of cannabis daily. Hope you guys are having a wonderful morning starting your day off, obviously with news and insights on the cannabis markets. Thanks as always to Aaron Thomas for producing the show.And Benzing for hosting. We want to bring you daily insights on what to look for in cannabis stocks and the industry as at large. So let's dive right in tons to look at today. AgriFood, they make news about once a week, so we should come to expect them here. A G F Y listed on the NASDAQ is set to acquire lab society.This is a company specializing in distillation and solvent separation solutions for Canada. Extraction. I did not understand those words either. But I do know there are very necessary parts of the processing part of cannabis oils and more, this further enhances Agrifoods position as a leader in extraction alongside their massive hydroponics arm, genetics.Basically is becoming an all around partner to cannabis operators and helping them grow their business at, in magnanimous levels. So props to Raymond Chang and team over there, edge HGF why continues to be. A very strong company to keep on your watch list. Mike Tyson in his Tyson, 2.0 launch will bring knockout O G marijuana flour to Michigan dispensary.So if you are in the Michigan market or you'd like to take little road trips to Michigan, make sure you keep an eye for knockout OJI on the shelves. That is Mike Tyson's flour, the safe banking bill. As we covered earlier this week, the text was added to a broader legislation bill for the house rules committee. It did get approved. So that's wonderful. This will be the sixth time safe has made it through some sort of house vote. It will now go to the house for to be voted on there. So props to representative ed Perlmutter, who is pushing this through as fast and as, as much as he can, before he goes out of this.Delta nine. This is DLT and F on the OTC announces a 32 million non-dilutive credit facility with connect first credit union connect. First in the news a lot lately with their loans to cannabis companies especially in Canada, obviously Delta nine will utilize capital to optimize its capital structure.So there we go. This includes a 23 mortgage $23 million mortgage. 5 million acquisition facility and the 4 million authorized overdraft. So a Delta nine seeking some lovely capital flow there. Next up we have Cura leaf. Can't forget about them. When they make news, we try to never do that. For who? All C U R L F on the OTC forms a partnership.Rep sleep. This is a retail execution software meant to help CPG teams with data-driven insights. CPG of course, being consumer packaged goods, which is the direction cannabis has been headed by many perspectives of the industry. But is a well-known brand or well-known company. They work with brands such as Kraft, Heinz Adidas, L'Oreal beyond meat, Mattel, and AB InBev. So really interesting and unique and powerful partnership from curely. They're truly TC NNF F celebrates a statewide rebrand in Maryland. This comes on the heels of rebranding, their Pence of Pennsylvania. Dispensary's. They're looking to get the truly name out there. Have a consumer and loyalty base. I believe they're referring to as true leavers. It makes sense to me, Columbia carry to the same thing in Florida as as we mentioned before, alongside this and. Many cannabis companies are doing similar things at the moment. Urban gro UGR on the NASDAQ, announces another expansion to their stock repurchase program by another one and a half million.This builds upon the already in place 7 million that was previously expanded earlier in January. So they are there. This of course is not a guarantee that they will repurchase the stocks, but it is an expansion. And if they do repurchase that as quite interesting, especially for shareholders  of you grow a few earnings news here, we have American green.It says E R B on the OTC revenue is up 20% year over year in Q2 2022 to 515,000. They did release some. Of expecting it to grow another 55% in the next year, by the Q2 20. That, that ends next you do. So interesting young company there keep an eye on them. But they do have a pretty well-known cannabis brand that seems Africana, ABC and F announces Q4 2021 earnings, a record revenue of 1.3 million.What's interesting here, this. Fourth consecutive sequential increase of at least 3,000. So in four quarters, they keep growing by at least 30%, a super impressive 20 20, 20, 20 21 revenue is around 3.3 million up 133% year over year. And finally, last bit of news. We'll call out for the day flora growth Corp with some interesting news here, seeking approval from I N V I M a.This is basically the Colombian FDA they're seeking emergency use authorization under COVID 19 protocols. This will be for a cannabinoid based formula that they're researching with preventative applications to help with COVID-19. Super interesting. They're also seeking IP at the same time. So keep an eye on FLDC obviously probably not going to move it today.Maybe it will, but it that's the first, I believe for cannabis in Latin American market. So everybody, this is cannabis daily. Thanks so much for tuning in my winners for the day. Obviously you have to mention . I think curely probably gets a shout out in flora growth Corp and. So for winners today, keep an eye on him.We'll do this two more times this week rate and review us, let us know what you think. Hit BZ, cannabis.com to come meet me and Aaron Thomas in person in Miami. We really want to hear from you and meet you there until then. Y'all Hey investors. Thanks so much for tuning in to.

Yeah, no, I’m just getting ready to talk event. This was an event post event. Then you could do new events. Um, but no, uh, every, you know I had worries about parking. I was going to jar obviously already figured it out cause it was, it was packed. Speaker:              There was some regulars there, but that was good too. But yeah, it was packed and everybody said, thanks for having it out here. I appreciate it. And the over under was nine and we had, we beat that at five 25. Yeah, fine. No, it was great. I mean like it’d be in wrong. No. And whiskey in the jar was like, that’s one of those places where like I said, it’s what we used to do. Like, it’s, you know, bring people to like, kind of a little out of the way off the beaten path places. Um, and, and I, if I heard it once, I heard it a dozen times. Oh dude, I, I’ve heard about this place. I keep meaning to get here. Awesome. It’s one of my favorite bars in town. Yeah, no doubt. Yeah. But yeah, thanks to the staff that, you know, Mikey and, uh, AKI just hung out for a little bit, but yeah, Mikey, Mikey outdid himself. Speaker:              Great bar time. It was great. Uh, but so next coming up, we’ve got Ann Arbor on the fifth, I believe. Yeah. We’ll be at haymaker public house. Cool. Right on Washington. Make sure you vote before you come to the meetup. That is a trait that at that day, election day, man, uh, and then the 21st we’ll be back at Umbro sweet downstairs. That pizza in eyeball pinned video games and electronic jukebox. Yeah. So, Hey, um, you know, we, Dave and I talk about all the time how we a email spreadsheets. We still haven’t figured this thing out, but I think we finally did. Um, we, we don’t know. We’re, we’re on all these different platforms. We, we, we don’t automate anything. Email for those docs for that sheets for that, but box for this, right? Yeah. Yeah. You did. I send you the Dropbox link. New, but Hey, growing up business is super hard, especially when you’re wasting hours moving data from emails to spreadsheets and CRM or wherever. Speaker:              That stuff should just, shouldn’t that stuff just happen or that you’re lifting a finger? Our friends at Zapier can help. It is the easiest way to automate work that connects all of your business software and handles work for you. So you can focus on things that matter most. No more wasting time on tasks you know, could be automated because that’s what they were built to do. If you don’t know what they are, checked them out. They’re literally, they strip the APIs out of literally every app you use. Got them to talk. So things like a sales automation, if somebody comes in, bring, comes in from your website, fills out a contact form, it goes right into CRM, triggers all these different alerts. When someone buys something from an eCommerce site, it’ll trigger a financing, shipping it. It’s insane. Doesn’t come with trigger warnings. It does not. Speaker:              Um, but Hey, do us a favor. Go, uh, go to our special link, zapier.com/it in the D a that’s Z a P I E r.com/it and the D. and you know what I just said is scratching the surface.

That’s Z a P I E r.com/it and the D for your free 14 day trial. You know, I keep meaning to ask cause it’s spelled like the sword. Is it Zapier or Zapier? Zapier, like happier. Okay. I just, I, every time I see it I’m like, is it okay? Speaker:              Zappia web 2.0 spelling. Right. So there’s a silent K in a Schwab and lot and yes. Um, but you know what, you know what our events though, it’s amazing. A meetup comes out and says they’re gonna charge $2 per 10 day and the, the mad coders at Microsoft, I mean LinkedIn, uh, went to work and now LinkedIn events is back. Yeah. And they announced it like they’d never had it before, which was the part that made me laugh like you clowns, like we were using you exclusive until you just dropped it for no reason. And then we had to go to meetup. Right. That was the only available option because we have 8,000 members on LinkedIn and like what a thousand on meet? I lost half of our traction. Yup. Well, well eighth whatever, 87.5%. Thanks. Sales guy. Yeah, I wasn’t going to do 12 and a half percent. Speaker:              Yeah, exactly. Do the math. But you know, we lost literally. Yeah. It was my understanding there would be no math. I did it for, you know, if you want to be 87.5% of our, we lost, you know, and who knows who, you know. Yeah. And it’s, and that’s not guaranteeing that, you know, it’s crossover that could have been new people that we picked up that aren’t on LinkedIn. And yeah. I mean, cause we did, we use LinkedIn events for fricking everything. Um, and I played around this feature maybe cause I’m not a group owner, but I couldn’t have see you in a way to associated with a group. Can, can group owners create it on the vent was never associated with the group. Like, so it was always you just created an event. Yes. You just created an event and off you went. Um, it would be better if they could do that, but yeah. Speaker:              By the way, I’m, I am going to come from the South park. I was giggling all day, last couple of days or after I’ll do it. It was amazing. So killing it, they’re not just killing it. They’re gonna make about what, half a billion dollars on the new streaming deal. Cause they’re shopping, they’re shopping themselves around, which probably won’t be picked up in China anytime soon. But member member member when South park central.com had all the episodes for free. I ma I remember now. Yeah. Now someone’s listing anymore. No, no, no. It’s been awhile. I think it’s like a clip and then you’ve got to go to a Hulu or whatever. But if you didn’t see this week, I’m totally going to spoil alert for you. Um, basically they’re trashing on the impossible burger from burger King, which is so good given that we just had all the hatch Detroit and the beacon folks got my favorite part. Speaker:              My favorite part of rainy goes to burger King and he goes, it’s impossible burger. No takes a bite. Goes tastes like shit. And like 10 burger King guys. I can tell it. Nobody seems to mind. So the whole Oh no, no, no. So no. So that like that was when Randy started making them. Um, cause that was right in the beginning when he went to burger King. Then he made it, decided to make them afterwards. Right. And started making them with all of the leftover weeds and all that other kind of stuff. And so yeah, there was like, he’s like, Oh God, Steve’s like shit. Takes another bite. Speaker:              Not that bad. Best part is the teas wearing the tee shirt, like to promote it’s Tegrity burgers. It starts this thing and it’s a Tegrity burger and it’s tastes like shit cause you won’t care cause you’re going to be high. You could buy them on Etsy, which is great. Like the shirts to the burger. I wish you could buy the burgers. Oh my God. Like, so then the, the, the impossible people are like being incredible people in South park. Yeah. So like he’s like, I’m a goo man. I sell, I so go, Oh yeah. I tried to play the whole, uh, like I couldn’t figure out if they were going for Stephen King character. Uh, but yeah, I’m a goon man and all I do is so goo goo that can be made in the hamburgers, patties, anything. You want it, they do it every week anyway. Speaker:              If you’re not watching it, you’ve got to catch up. It’s only been like, what, three or four episodes? Three or four episodes. It’s been pretty awesome. But, um, what’s, so when all this madness came out with Cinemax, with Comcast, I went, you know, when we had Comcast in here and I’m like, you’ve got to fix my crap. This is stupid. Yep. So I got my Cinemax. Uh, but guess what? Then all of a sudden start didn’t work. And I go, they, they moved they bars, they moved one in the other. But you’re telling me they dropped stars altogether. They are dropping stars. There was a big to do about it because I guess the new episode of Outlander, something was supposed to premiere last night. Um, and there was a big deal, there was a whole kerfluffle about it. Power. I think there’s another other one. Speaker:              Apparently 50 cent was, was raving about power and it was, it was the post about that that cause people were mocking 50 cent about it at, that’s what brought it to my attention cause well who doesn’t love to mock 50 cent? Ah, yeah, I know. Uh, but yeah, so yeah, now they’ve, now they’ve dropped stars and that’s a thing. And dude, like again, is it final or are they still negotiating? Uh, apparently the deal fell through and so I guess, I think it’s in the stars by the way. Lion’s gate. The movie production company. So they’re not part of the whole conglomerate. Apparently they are not part of the, yeah, apparently they are not part of the whole food chain yet. Um, and so, I mean, I guess good for them. Uh, but I mean, right. Not good for them. How many subscribers they lose? Well, what are they going, what are they going to come out with the stars app now? Speaker:              Cause I mean, let’s be honest, would any of us watch anything on stars? No. It’s not just in the lineup. Robocop. I mean, okay, I’ll watch it again, but I’m not going to seek it. No. And then, you know, yeah, right. If it’s on as I’m flipping through the channel guide. Yeah. Well, one of the dumbest ones now is AMC. The theaters are coming out with their own streaming app now. I was actually just noticing that as I was purchasing the tickets for the 19th yeah. Yeah. So you could actually buy [inaudible] you can buy like through Comcast on demand, you can get movies that are still in the theaters. Um, but you can’t watch like the blockbuster was still like a week or two after. Yeah. Well and I’m sure this is going to be the same way or unless they’re coming up with a different digital distribution deal. Speaker:              Who knows and it’s 20 but 1999 a month for this. Come on. Hey, you know what you give me and give me access to first run stuff that I can no, because those are supposed to be priced at like 50 bucks back when they were talking about the discount combination. If you’re also an AMC, a list gets called star a list. Yeah. You just don’t get free Slurpees Randy. Yeah, I know. But dude, I mean how many times did we had just got dude star Wars. This will be the second time this year that I will have been inside a movie theater. And the first time was cause I got talked into taking my kids to something and I, I don’t like movie theaters are more to the point. I don’t like people in movie theaters. So you give me access to something that will let me watch first run movies sitting in my living room I’m in now. The last one is the a imagine in Rochester because the seats are as big as my couch at home with the recliner that now that’s the experience dude. Look it. Yeah. Looking at like looking at the, um, the, the seats as you were picking them. It’s like two seats in an aisle, two seats in an aisle or did we see Susan solo or we all crammed together and it sucked. And that’s why you’re not allowed to buy tickets anymore. Speaker:              It was die by, I bought IMAX. So number one, you bought three D and all. I did not ask you did they were 3d a that for solo. Oh wait, no, that was for a, I think that was for solo. I bought the bouncy seats with my kids. That’s so, yeah. Oh, the D box. Yes. It was like awful. No. So I, yeah, I don’t know. But yeah. So now we’re, we’re going to be there on the 19th good times, which, which I think is actually, well no, cause we pull our event up early that month so that, that would be the event night. But no, it’s not going to be. Um, so the things I loved, um, I loved, uh, the internet archive. This is one of the stories we didn’t get to last week. So if you ever haven’t heard this yet, this is very, very cool. Uh, they released a 2,500 old ms dos games that you can play online, uh, which is just, it matters to probably nobody other than Bob and I, but there’s just so much old cool content that I remember growing up with and the fun someone remake or give me the emulator for leisure. Speaker:              So one layer, we’ve talked this, we can play it now like me. I’m sure it’s online somewhere. Somebody who has had that. Um, we talked about that the last [inaudible] no, no, no, no, no. We talked about that the last time cause somebody was talking about doing a reboot of it. Um, I can’t remember. I want to say it’s an independent publisher. This weird thing about that game as like it had this folklore that it was like it was dirty and it wasn’t, but you never really got to see anything. No. But you were all like playing his game. Hopefully that you’ll see like a Buba. Yeah. No, not just, not even about eight bit boobs. Yeah. There’s like four brick, like four light bricks in a dark pixels in it. Yeah. Speaker:              I still want to play it cause it was fun as hell. It was, it was, Oh hold on, hold on. Is it SpaghettiOs and in a Johnny Sacco dude, it could be. I mean it’s, you know, you gotta be careful what you wish for. I mean, you know, how many times have we had the, did it hold up conversation like it’s, it, it might, it might be pure nostalgia and it might be better, but I, I’m, I’m sure somebody has it out there somewhere else. You know, like games that held up like 1942 held a love Alica held out. Love it. Right? There’s, there’s like some of those, like even like plain old asteroids like to me holds up. Oh, I, I still play that all day. Do the centipede all day. Right. Those things are timeless. I’ll never, you know, um, but some of them are bad, some are just utter pieces of toilet. Speaker:              Oh yeah. And I like, I can’t, although I’m telling ya, uh, that stupid arcade game, uh, that I bought, uh, for, you know, uh, the brewery back in, um, is in my basement. I do to, I will sit there and play Kung Fu master for hours and just be perfectly happy. Um, so we love talking about we work, so we must continue to talk about we work because the chaos and mayhem continues and we stop. Nope. Not until they die. Um, so not only, yeah, yeah, exactly. Which, speaking of dying, uh, so apparently they have now issued a warning, uh, to all of their members because they have 2300, 500, 2300 phone booths that apparently have exceedingly high levels of formaldehyde and other known carcinogens. How does that happen? Um, I, let’s see, I maybe something to do with the fact that their largest, uh, investor is, uh, owns Asian manufacturing companies. Speaker:              Uh, and, and we’re probably having them done, they’re just saying yes. Well, I did read a rumor that SoftBank is taking them over there like, and you’re out. Yeah, they did it. Kenny powers on him. You’re effing out. I’m FNN get the F out of my chair. Well, they’ve put what, 12 into it so far? I don’t know the exact number, but I’d say because they’d put round a funding round, a funding round of funding to bail them out when the IPO failed and they weren’t gonna make payroll and they weren’t gonna like they had like a month and a half of operating capital. Um, I’d say they own them right about now. So I, I would say, I mean, granted it’s not like SoftBank’s doing all that great with Uber either. But today SoftBank offered $10 billion as part of a takeover plan. Wow. Wow. Speaker:              How, how is it still worth that much? So yeah, to me that’s an ego play. Like that’s, that’s that, that’s that guy not wanting to lose their investment. He was going to say that they’re, they’re buying stock after I got caught in half and they’re trying to just hedge there, you know. Um, the interesting one, this was, to me, this was the most fascinating story this week and it’s gonna give a window into the future on how food has done. So what have you, if you’ve noticed this shift, no one’s sitting down at a TGI Friday’s anymore, but they’re ordering the shit out of it on door dash or on whatever app you choose. People are ordering from TGI Fridays or whatever order from restaurants till two in the morning. Oh, those white castle. And you can get white castle delivered from door dash and make better choices. Speaker:              So door dash we always joked at DoorDash doesn’t own any restaurants but it’s worth more than combined. Well now they just got into the ghost kitchen business. So I got my little crystal ball out like a Halloween story. Who? Yeah, no, this is, I cut. This is what I envision. There’s going to be these fake, they’re going to be like pop up restaurants that don’t have that. You can sit down and eat but you can order a MUN food delivery done door dash. So we have the pizza joint up front. Pretty much. You can see, you can sit down and eat there, but you can get pizza and go right. Yeah, pretty much. But they’re gonna have like, like a food court. You’re gonna have like 40 50 people in these, in these ghost kitchens and all their only business is going to be home delivery. Speaker:              I feel like we talked about this awhile ago, like there’s a like start up incubator spaces like in Los Angeles, in New York where you just rent out space in a giant industrial kitchen for your own little well look, I mean that’s what my friends part. Hold on David, my, uh, my buddy of mine is part of a conglomerate down in Cincinnati where they’re doing that, but this was more for food trucks and so we can have a home, it wasn’t necessary. And then they have like a general seating space. So you can like of like, you can do popups there, but it wasn’t necessarily meant specifically for door [inaudible] shipping company, but bigger with it. But not in no, but not, it wasn’t meant for that, but with no tables. Yeah. Like that was a low point. Speaking of food trucks, just to segue for a second, what’s the, what’s the place that always had all the food trucks in Ferndale fleet fleet? Speaker:              Every named after the, uh, enema kit. Do, did you read that well, which was appropriate. Did you read the story that came out? I believe? No. No. Um, where, you know what, before I go slandering anybody, let me just make sure that I’m, I’m getting this right. Um, there is a restaurant, uh, that apparently has been bouncing payroll. Oh, that’s Otis supply to supply. That’s across the street from fleet. That’s essentially, yeah. So yeah, apparently like none of the payroll ever clears, uh, vendors, vendors 170 grand in the hole. So you’re to get a hand carved, sliding barn doors from Paris. That’s the crazy shit. Like the build out on that $4 million to build it out. And I love going there. It’s a nice space. I love it. But, you know, not for 4 million bucks, you’re not gonna make, you know, in this business. No way. Speaker:              No way. The margins on food and they’re not, they’re not that much. Yeah. Right, right, right. Um, a couple of things on the uh, security front that I thought were, uh, were not humorous and sad dude, Equifax, ah, dude, the breach happened because they left a portal with the user ID admin and password admin. Really, really Equifax. Really, someone brought up a really good point. I work today. And if you look at their stock ticker, when the hack happened and they then they shit the bed, the stock went down to like whatever, the all time low and now it’s actually creep back up where it’s decent. And now this class action lawsuits coming to basically drive them back down again. Yeah. Like, but when stories like this come out, when you’re admin admin like you, you deserve what you got. Yeah. You really deserve every, every single moment. Speaker:              Again, you know, our anger that w I don’t hire you, but you have all my shit, right. You, um, yeah. I didn’t voluntarily give you any of my crap, but you still have it from all in you. You won’t. Oh yeah. They’re the worst of all data. Those are huge, huge class action. Hey Bob, I forget. Do you have the [inaudible] head? A Chevy pickup? No. The galaxy, no, I have the nine. Oh, okay. Just checking. Uh, in case you’re listening to this and you haven’t heard yet. Um, the galaxy S 10, uh, if you’re using thumb print a to unlock it for identification purposes. Um, yeah, they, they admitted today that there’s a bug and any, any thumbprint will unlock it. It doesn’t have to be yours at all. Any, any, any thumbprint [inaudible] it was the cause I think what it didn’t a woman use her left than her. Speaker:              Right. Ask her husband to it and it opened up [inaudible] and then they stems from her using a gel based screen protector on the screen. So thumbprint applies screen protector, screen protector interferes with reading. The thumbprint detects the ridges in the screen protector as the thumbprint and just unlocks. So this is as good as the old windows seven facial recognition on lock where you, all you had to do was hold up a photo of someone to unlock us and that since any film will do it. That’s, that’s amazing. That’s, you know, that’s one of the reasons why no thumb, no retina scan. Oh, I’m fine punching in my stupid 60 digit card. I just, I always go back to demolition man. Like I, I get, I know I keep going back to eyeball on the pen to unlock. No, I’m good. My kid, my kid turned 13 so I got her an I a iPhone 11 a for a birthday and it not the pro one like Arnold Schwarzenegger cannon on the back of nice, just like the regular one. Speaker:              And uh, she was like, okay, now you can do your face. Can I go? Nope. And I was like, I don’t want, the government doesn’t need to see what your retinas look like. You’re only 13 don’t leave the device. I, and I’m just being funny right. Believably elegiac exactly. Allegedly. Yeah, sure. We would know by now. Yeah. And Snapchat deletes everything. When you say really and Equifax can’t get at, Ian wants to let us know that leisure suit Larry bundle is available on steam up one through seven available. Ooh, I didn’t even, it can’t be worn about sort of like, I didn’t know there was a house party for [inaudible] your suit, Larry. Seven $24. And you know what a, you know, so you know, since the church, you know, isn’t getting a lot that, you know, the kids just don’t want to go to the church no more. Speaker:              Um, uh, how bout uh, someone sat around a table and said, why don’t we get into the uh, the IOT game and someone said, layouts do it. Click to prey is the name of this device and, and it’s a rosary that you can wear like a bracelet, click to pray, click, click to pray. Uh, it talks to your phone. So it’s an essence. It’s IOT. When you make the sign of the cross, the motion sensors in the bracelet actually opened the app on your phone and start playing a rosary. That’s not real. It, it really is. Does that end gadget? Oh yeah. I know it’s from the Vatican for real. Right? It’s a thing. It’s the Vatican says the device part of the Pope’s worldwide prayer network, a tech based teaching tool for learning how to pray for peace in the world. You get points for each time you pray in, the more you [inaudible] are they going to game-ify prayer. Speaker:              Um, so Hey, but good news. Um, it, we’re only what, let’s see. This is 2019 almost the end of it. Um, the military is no longer going to use eight inch floppy disks. Dude, I had to read this troll nuclear launch sequences. I had to read this six times to make sure that it wasn’t the onion. It not, not, not five and a quarter, not three and a half, eight inch. The big MCI floppy discs like from like war games. I want to say this again. Hold on. Can we say this again? U S military will no longer use floppy disks to coordinate nuclear launches. That’s terrifying. Just last week, 19 under title or whatever the, whatever. What’s the subtitle? Um, no has a highly secure, solid state digital storage solution. Mm. That makes me nervous about pure storage. It’s all tells me, Hey, well they bought Dell EMC, right? Speaker:              I made an eight inch floppy joke. Uh, sorry. I get a belt just for them. So actually we were talking about star Wars. Uh, one of the things we did not mention is, so if, if you are so inclined, uh, so the believe the first showing of the movie, uh, the new movie is on the 19th at 6:00 PM. If you feel like being around fellow nerds for a long, long time. Yes. Uh, you can start on the 18th in the morning and for a, I want, I’m sure, uh, 27 hours and 21 minutes. Yes. They will show all of the star Wars films immediately followed by the new moon. My seat be a toilet. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It’s gotta be like the Cartman world of Warcraft says awfully amazing. I wanna know what sequence they’re going to show them, not just what sequence. I want to know what version, I don’t want the night. Speaker:              You do going to show me that in a second. But if you show me O G, O G, uh, episode four, they’re never gonna sh no, it’s going to be 97. It’s going to be the special edition toilet. I don’t want to go that, you know, to sleep through or just bring lots of coffee or you sleep through any of them. I’m episode one, episode one. You totally just yet the mall scenes are better than any of the others too. Wake me up for the pod racing and then boring. No, the pod racing’s totally the best dude. Not even for the pod racing. Just for, we’ll just for dual. The fades like that stool. The face is good. Yeah. So wake me up for that. Wake me up for a mall and then we’re good. And then two, um, okay. I’ll fall asleep after he kills two, two and then wake me up. I was dad and yeah, and then wake me up somewhere around the bondage scenes like when, when Pat may starts showing up in the leather gear can be up around that the most I’ve ever done is when judge are being slowed in three movements. Back to back to back. I don’t know if I could do this. I can’t sit in a single seat for that long. I would lose my mind. I did it. Be it a desire this weekend, I guess you’re right. Speaker:              Bring a Blakey, bring a pillow. So we’ve got to take a bet on which one of our friends Teslas is going to brick first because the flash memory wears out. Dude, I’m going Neil, you’re going neat. Neo is our first friend with one I know, but he got the uh, the fancy one. So I don’t know if that gave, um, so basically it’s the culprit resides in the flash memory and the media control under the older Tesla vehicles. Um, basically it keeps all the log data and it doesn’t dump it. Yup. And it doesn’t archive it and it doesn’t move it into the cloud. It just sits there and the firmware wasn’t, it’s a big in the beginning. So log data law is lots of spare room to play with and basically they wrote the workload spread over over all the memory. Yeah. And now it’s full. Speaker:              Yeah. Now they’re logging so much data. There aren’t empty sectors available for like fall over or error correction or anything. The best line is because Tesla is a highly dependent on electronics. Once the flash memory and an infotainment unit goes bad at essentially bricks the car. That’s amazing dude. Shit, the app went down and what was it, two weeks ago? And nobody could get into their cars. Yeah. So that was amazing. So, and so we can wrap up with the, from the, nobody cares, a department. Um, and also like from back in the day of eight inch floppy disks, um, Yahoo groups is winding down. I didn’t even know Yahoo groups. I knew Yahoo still existed company ever. Did you ever do Yahoo? I didn’t even know what was Yahoo groups mailing lists? No, no, no. They were mailing lists. It was, no, it was message boards. Speaker:              It was essentially glorified mail. Yeah. And yeah, but, but like the good message boards that had the email component to it and that kind of stuff. Um, like right as like CompuServe and that kind of stuff was starting to wind down Yahoo launched groups trying to take its place and fill that niche and fill that void. I never did that, ever. No. I loved message boards, you know that. Oh, I know. Yeah. But yeah, so no, apparently. Yeah, and I think it’s like what you have like a day left. Uh, they extended it to the 28th to download all your files. So they’re killing all the features except for the emailing. I couldn’t, what does everybody got to move to Reddit R slash Google. Yahoo groups or who knows? Who knows. I couldn’t even begin to tell you what I had out there and nor do I care. Speaker:              I’m just managing. I was looking at PopCap games. We used to play the shit out of those at Verio and I was, there was this, these two games. One was like a javelin throw and the other one was a poker piggy packer and they’re both gone. I can’t find them. And like there was like literally the hours, hours, we could have sold so much crap, but we decided we had to like we have an office tournament on piggy booger. Anyway, we’re going to take a quick break. We’re going to be back with Maria and Pat from NuSpire. This is the item that he show. Hey, we’ll be right back. Speaker 2:           I see. And that the raids meets, listen, networking Detroit one day at a time. Speaker 3:           Hey, this is John Schneider from nip tuck Smallville, the haves and have not.

Speaker:              Wait, what? Oh yeah. Well it just, you know, like we said, you know, the like the vendors at cons and that kind of stuff, you know, they’re selling their stuff that are trying to do it right, that are collecting sales tax and having to deal with it, you know, with their phone off their square or Stripe or yet it’s just ridiculous.

Speaker:              Three people here, no Maria pads, knee pads knew she can be to people that, Oh well she was telling us she was doing four jobs. So HR, um, but no, we got him, Maria Graham and house and Pat O’Sullivan from newspaper networks. How are both of you doing? I always love having you here. Doing great. Happy to be here. Good. Thanks for having me back. Loving having you back. So this is a, I don’t know if this is goofy or not, but it’s cybersecurity awareness month and there’s stuff going on at work, like where they, you know, stop the fish and they’re giving away Swedish fish and people are still doing stupid things like making their, you know, service count password one, two, three and getting hit by auditors like credo, Equifax. [inaudible] man. So I mean, when, when, when, you know, cybersecurity awareness about like, you know, Oh, by the way, my father, um, double-clicked uh, an attachment in an email, shut his computer down and call an 800 number on the phone for two hours with this person. Speaker:              My dad gave them the credit card. Luckily my mother was smart enough to call immediately and cancel the credit card and I chewed my dad out for an hour and he goes, who told you? And I’m like, meeting my wife told me, well, she not supposed that you didn’t want me to yell at him. Oh here’s your dad’s still running a windows PC. No, cause he doesn’t know how to load it on Boone to Randy [inaudible] give him a Chromebook or something that, Oh my, I got my mom a Chromebook, but he likes his desktop. Anyway. Um, so I mean going back like cyber security awareness month, it seems like no matter how hard we try, it seems like these things still happen. I mean, what are, what are you guys doing and what can we do to like, you know, make people aware to not do that stuff? Speaker 4:           Well, it’s really interesting. So we talked to, we’re, well, we’re in the sales side, right? So we talked to people all day, every day. And I’m, when we start talking in, you know, discovery and what’s going on and what’s your biggest challenge? And it’s always my people, my people, my, I’m paying all this money for these platforms, really good platforms, no before and things like that. And, uh, there’s not adaption and there’s not a buy in from, you know, executive leadership teams or things of that nature. And that’s the first thing, right? They’ve got to, yes. Start with that. You start with your people and if you’re not going to get buy in at the higher level, you gotta figure out how to do that. I think Speaker:              so what you’re saying is an internally, they need to have a salesperson to sell internally. Speaker 4:           Amazing. I’m amazed. Speaker:              I know I cheated there. My dad. Speaker 4:           Yeah. Yes, yes. That’s the biggest, that’s the biggest challenge that I hear. I think day in, day out, day in and day out is, is, uh, it all comes back down to the user. And you can buy all the best tools and platforms that are out there, but if you can’t teach, Speaker:              people still click things. Yeah. He’ll open up. The emails are still open, empty attachments. So here’s the thing though, those, those emails are our utter shite when, when we all know that they’re what they are. But the phishing tests, yes, yes, they’re there. They’re bad. Some of them write good ones where you like they’d get the domain. I think Neil did a good one where he bought like your company’s it department or some stupid URL like that and then shot like a, you know, and he got like, they got like 14 people out of 500 to like update their password through it. And I was like, ah. So I mean, you know, again, I’m like security awareness, PR. I mean, I guess where do you start and how do you stop that? I guess it’ll never stop it, but I mean, are you doing this monthly, biweekly? Do you get it random? Is this mitigation of risk at this point? I would, Speaker 4:           yeah. I think so too. But I think that there’s gotta be enough of somebody that has the authority to say, no, I’m serious. You do this and you learn this and you take it seriously. Because if you don’t, you’re exposing a huge risk to our business. So you need to be aware. Speaker:              There’s no repercussions though for, you know, Timmy and accounting that that clicked, that password reset. He didn’t even get his hand slapped. They just like you, you made the list great. And then you have to sit down and watch this video. Yeah. Speaker 4:           Well were like 10 videos or whatever. So no, it’s, it’s an ongoing battle. So then you have to have, you know, you gotta, you gotta take it from there. Right. It starts with user awareness and it doesn’t stop there. You have to continue that. You can’t just do it once a quarter, once a year. You can’t do it this month only. And then hope that that’s gonna resonate with you. Speaker:              Well, cause are you only hiring people this month? Speaker 4:           No. Yeah. Right. It’s got to continue. It’s got to be ongoing, going to be Speaker:              busy. There’s still going to be rushing through their words. They’re still going to be clicking on things and opening things. Um, you know, and you said it has to be for, for front of mine, but you also had to do more because people are, no matter how much training you do, people are still gonna click. They’re still gonna look, you have to watch, you have to, you know, you have to be seeing what they’re doing. You have to be paying attention, you have to have eyes on because I’m training isn’t enough. I mean, cause if you look at it, I remember having a conversation, think I brought this up a few times of a CSO of a pretty large company that everybody would know and he goes, man, he goes, 70% of my budget is, is firewalls and VPN licenses. And he goes in the in, in IDs as IDPs and he goes, 20% is maybe doing, you know, buying a proof point or, or getting, you know, some sort of LDP or at all. Um, data loss, prevention, DLP, sorry, DLP. And then I got like 10% to do stuff that I want to do. So I, you know, everybody’s like small security’s important. Everybody’s crunched by the almighty budget dollar, you know, so you gotta go on the cheap and then, and then what, you know what I mean? So I think both both sides are accountable. Then your phishing emails look like crap. [inaudible] you can’t really, you can’t really get too mad at Timmy and accounting when you haven’t done shit. Yeah, Speaker 4:           right. Yeah. Well. And it’s also spending the money wisely. Right. So there’s a lot of things that you can do for teaching user awareness. Like I think it’s unique that your work is sending out, they’re doing a more of a social campaign. Right? Like just making you aware they’re not making you sit down and watch videos cause no offense, like I hate watching the videos. I work for a cyber company. Fricking words like I hate it. But like if you can do something fun just to keep me like, Hey this is the thing, don’t screw up. It’s important that Speaker:              so you get by us. If you leave your laptop on locked, you walk home. No, when you walk away, if security sees it, they basically shame you when they change your wallpaper to me. Like you got, Speaker 4:           Oh that happens. They’ll turn, they do the thing. Like I’m in sales, I don’t even know how they do this. Like I’ve done that twice. I think in 10 years at new Spier they’ll turn your whole stuff upside down. Speaker:              Controller. Okay. Yeah, I think it’s control. Alt arrow keys. Speaker 4:           Okay. Thank you. Critical knowledge for me. Speaker:              Most people get, they get it. If security doesn’t catch someone on our floor, they get Hastlehoffed. Yeah, the horizontal Playboy pose like that one. Yeah. That’s the wallpaper. Yeah. Yes. You’re hiring, right? Oh yes. Right. He just leaves his shit open all day. Right. Actually he just leaves one laptop open all day that he does nothing with and it does all his work on the other one now. Speaker 4:           Yeah. Well there’s like tons of things, right? So you can start with the training, but then you know, there’s a lot of people that are going, they’re skipping the training cause they feel like it’s not effective or they do it once a year and then they spend a fortune on point solutions that aren’t integrated. And you know, at the end of the day they spend a ton of money with a bunch of point solutions and they’re not integrated and a ton of time and they can’t, they still don’t know what the heck’s going on. They don’t know what they’re doing. So, um, and it’s no fault of anybody’s, it’s just here’s gaps. Let’s fill in with some tech and then, okay, now the text making noise and now what do we do with the noise? And now we’re ignoring the noise. And now our people aren’t. Now our people aren’t trained and now the fishing is happening and this caught the fishing. But we didn’t catch it because we have 40 other point solutions that are being build me a dashboard. Yeah. Now I use the dashboard, but now I’ve got 47 dashboards and it’s, it’s uh, it’s tough. Speaker:              Common. We’re seeing that a lot actually. Yeah. So what’s the a, is there an answer or is it just, just keep doing, keep doing. I don’t, you know, I’ve just, I think there’s always going to be a little bit of that, right? We have to keep layering security. But there is an answer. There’s a, I mean, there’s a few ways we can do it. The biggest thing is to get some help, get some help from people who know what they’re doing. Get some people who can actually pay attention. Um, who can look at the tools you’ve got in place, who can look at what’s going on in your network, um, and, and spend that money on those types of resources rather than continuing to invest $100,000 in new point solutions or a new staff to, to watch and body. I guess here’s the thing. You’ve got security vendors coming, you know, out of the woodworks. How do you know, how do, I guess, how do you trust that they’re not glue sniffers building model airplanes? You know what I mean? There’s, yeah, Speaker 4:           no, I agree. I think that’s a good point. No, I think a, a better thing to do would be to slow the heck down and instead of realizing that you’ve got gaps everywhere and filling the gaps, figure out a strategic approach to fill the gaps, right? So like, instead of buying this tool that’s gonna do this and this tool that’s going to do this, and Oh, by the way, both of these tools have this overlapping functionality really like slow down before you start pulling the trigger on some of that stuff and think about an integrated approach. Um, that’s also going to tie into your capability to manage that approach or figure out what you can and can not manage and figure out where you need to hire more people or maybe partner with some strategic people and, um, don’t stop the user training cause that’s again going to be the most important thing, right? So you have to have an integrated approach. You have to figure out what tools are gonna talk to, which tools you have to figure out what those gaps are. Please don’t start spending money on pen testing for no reason. Like if you’ve know there’s gaps, you know, your users aren’t getting trained and you know, your IDs is set up poorly and you know, you have these don’t spend money on a pen test that’s not going to work. We hear that a lot too, Speaker:              but sometimes like, but, and just, you know, but sometimes don’t you have to, to be able to check the box and said, yes, we did a pen test. Speaker 4:           You do. You do have to do that to check the box, certainly for depending on your industry, right? But as a solution fixing, um, we hear a lot too. That’s just the new think it’s not new, but it’s something that is starting to gain weight a lot, especially in like some of the, the mid market and maybe unregulated industries where they don’t have to do that, but they talked to other people that are regulated. I’ll go get a pen test. Well, why are you going to test something, you know, is broken? That doesn’t really make sense. Why don’t you, why don’t you, uh, you know, it’s like a leaky dam, right? Don’t, don’t try to patch the hole before you try to break through the hole. Right? Um, and then once you figure out where those gaps are, maybe taking a stick a finger in the dike. [inaudible] Speaker 4:           I know he was, I saw it in his face. I did. The eyes opened up like Johnny Cash I look at and I’m like, Oh my God, I’m sorry you’re allowed to do that. It’s fine. It’s fine. Um, but so you just gotta take integrated approach to the whole thing and then you’ve got to figure out what you can and cannot do yourself. That’s it. Right? Figure out, find some strategic partners, figure out what makes sense to manage internally. Figure out what doesn’t, but make sure from at the end of the day, spending a ton of money on cyber tool after cyber tool, after cyber tool. And then you have a whole stack of stuff that’s creating nothing but noise. Speaker:              Well yeah, there’s probably not integrated that Speaker 4:           it doesn’t make any sense. You gotta be strategic about it and you know, and so figuring out how to do that. So sometimes instead of just pulling the trigger, it’s hard. And I’m in sales like the worst. It’s the worst when I get into one of those conversations and I’m like, Oh my God, I could tell you all the things right now, but I’m not going to, you need to slow down. Like I need you to slow down cause what you’re doing isn’t going to work. And I, you know, this is why, right? Cause you, you’re talking about this tool, you’re talking about this tool, you’re talking about all these different things. And then you know, you’ve all P S you’ve got an it staff of 20 for X billion amount of users or whatever. This isn’t going to work for you to manage. So let’s figure out a better strategic way to integrate this stuff and make it so that, you know, we can be successful at the end of it. And that I think is, is the challenge that we’re coming into now because there’s just, I mean, you look at the fricking, you know, the LinkedIn, the infographic, we’ve all seen what the security value. Yeah. Like nobody even like you D my shoe hurts and I’ve got 47 security vendors for like, I don’t need, my shoe doesn’t hurt. It’s very comfortable. But you know what I’m saying? Like there so many options out there and these people, people, it’s tough. Speaker:              So, yeah, I mean I keep hearing over and over that the trend seems to be moving towards simplicity. Um, you kind of alluded to it. Um, I guess, are you seeing it too? And, and I guess to what degree, cause you know, when you say that that’s a very loose term. Um, but then I’m hearing this and you know, it kind of coincides with everything I’m hearing as well. Speaker 4:           Yeah. Um, I think that what I hear more is it’s too complex, right? So it’s a complex landscape right now in the, in the people that I talked to, ha, it’s too complex for them to deal with. Speaker:              What I meant was simplicity. Meaning where does it going to take and just strip everything away and we’re going to, we’re going to like the strategies from an end user are just, you know, go into more simpler route than stacking all these vendors on that. Yeah. Speaker 4:           Um, yeah, I think that or I th so yes, I do think stripping it back and finding a, um, well I guess there’s a couple of different ways to look at, and it depends on who you’re talking to. Um, larger scale organizations are going to take a different approach than more of the middle market. Right? Um, so for the larger scale, I think that what I found is everybody’s going towards single vendor, single platform. It doesn’t matter who it is, it doesn’t matter what it is. And once they buy into one piece of it, if they like it, they’re going to buy the whole thing, which is good as long as they have the people to manage it. Um, smaller enterprise to higher end mid market and mid market there, they’re still in, in my experience from, from the conversations they’re having. We’ve got a lot of people have just bought and layered on a ton of different tools, a ton of different applications, a ton of different dashboards and um, they can’t do it. Like they’re like, I got all this stuff, but I have no visibility. And it’s confusing to me is how you don’t have the visibility and it’s time and resources. They don’t have the time and resources to deal with. Speaker:              Well. Yeah, I guess that brings up a point that I wanted to, I wanted to ask you, you guys do always have done really well with small business and I could tell a couple of stories from just this past year where one, um, it was an insider theft scenario. [inaudible] cost them about a million and a half in legal fees, never implemented any solution to curtail that in the future. Another one, you know, basically got ransomwared um, never did it in, into stop, but in the future is like, here’s the thing, they’re getting burned. You know, it’s kind of like if you get your car stolen, you might get a low Jack next. You know what I mean? Yeah. And go, I don’t know. I want to deal this crap again. You know what I mean? You just go buy something or some of it comes down to, you know, where’s, you know, w what’s a, what’s your risk tolerance and B, where’s the cost benefit? Like if, if, okay, the ransomware is they want $200,000 and it’s going to cost me 30 grand to replace everything. All right. Everything just got lit on fire and I’m just replacing everything right. It’ll be stopped. We saw that happen with a couple of universities this year with the stories we were talking about, the library or whatever. Yeah. Speaker 4:           Um, well I think that it is, it’s always a risk. It’s a risk tolerance equation always. Right. And so, um, it depends on who you’re talking to. Right. Um, I think that providing people with a narrative when they’re going internally, cause it’s not like I’m never going to talk to a CSO that got burned and we’re not, we, we’ve done very well in the SMB, but we’ve moved a little bit upstream to more higher end Midmark in some, some low and enterprise type of, of, um, engagements in, in, um, target market in the last two years. But you’re never gonna talk to a C. so they got burned and is like, I’m okay with it. Yeah. Speaker:              Right. That’s exciting. I wouldn’t wish their job on anyone that when they do get burned because like how many people called Borg Warner the morning after the, whatever, that guy that got caught in erratic [inaudible]. Anyone know? They didn’t get burned. David target on their back. It’s tough. Average length, what was it, 18 months. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 4:           It’s, it’s very short. Um, but it’s not about the CSO though. It’s not that they don’t want to do it. It’s about helping them create the narrative to sell internally with the risk, with the risk. Right? Like, um, like you said, it’s like you need a salesperson. You need a sales person on the inside. And so, um, Speaker:              I found that’s a big challenge for a lot of them too, is translating the, the risk equation and translating the, you know, what they know needs to happen on the it side, into business language that the board can actually adopt and understand and resonate with. You know, they, they’re speaking in business terms and a lot of times translating that as a major challenge. Speaker 4:           Um, but, uh, um, you know, I think that, uh, a lot of it is just [inaudible]. You have to pay attention and you have to, you have to be aware of what’s happening. You have to train your users. You have to be constantly evolving because the landscape is constantly evolving. Every day there’s new things happening and changing. 10 years ago, tell me, ransomware was going to hit every 14 seconds and it would take four minutes to hack an IOT device. It’s literally, it’s 14 seconds. Every, every day, 14 seconds. Ransomware is hitting somewhere. And I think it’s right. It’s gotten to the point where it’s hitting my father’s computer, right? It’s everywhere. It’s everywhere. It’s ridiculous. Um, and so it’s, it’s, I think more and more people are understanding and I think it’s our job in a cyber secure and we’re not a point solution. We’re a managed security service provider. Speaker 4:           So I think the largest part of my job is not, I don’t have to sell a CSO. My service, there’s value there. They get it right? But I have to help them. I become there. I’m the sales person on the inside. Like, how do I help you, um, be successful and win? What can I do for that? And so that’s, um, probably, you know, where we’re NuSpires been very successful is, is kind of trying to crack that code and help people be successful in getting there. We always like hearing us. We always like hearing people that are hiring. Yeah, the magnitude of what you guys are hiring. 50 jabs. I got 50 open positions. We’re growing. It’s good. We jumped to a good problem to have. It’s a good problem to have. We jumped. Um, we’re number 27 on the MSSP list right now. Speaker 4:           That’s up like 25 spots from last year cause he was little kids. Do I know up first time I was scared of you the first time I was like Oh my gosh, she’s such, he says such foul language. What do I do? I didn’t, I didn’t say that I was probably dropping F bombs with them but no. But yeah we’ve got 50 open positions and majority of those are going to be in like um, the security engineering and the the, the SIM and SAC analysis and and stuff like that. But anybody thrown out, thrown out a wishbone here cause I’m a sales person, but we’re hiring, we got a ton of sales positions open to so hit us up. Yeah, that’s insane. I just had to give this guy $250 spiff. I split my, my referral fee with him for the last candidate he sent me. So if you know, people send them to me, we have bonuses. Speaker 4:           What else has got, I guess, what else is going on without, you know, what else is going on? Oh my goodness. So many things. We, um, Oh, secure world. How we’re supposed to see you in security. I really missed you guys there. I was really sad and you could see it was good. It was a good show. Such a chaotic week by the of God. I know. I what he said. I was texting him, but um, no, it was a, it was a good show. Uh, there was a lot of, a lot of traffic. Uh, topics were good. We had a panel, we had a couple of really good friends that were there, so that was fun. It was a good show. Oh, is usually is. Yeah. It was in a new venue this year, which is, it was at co, well, it’s not global. It’s not Kobo anymore. What is it now? [inaudible]. It’s called both. Yeah, I know. I know the people mover just says convention center. Yeah. Well it’s all confusing now because none of the maps, the maps don’t know where to send you. You put that, it’s very confusing. No, it was good. Um, Speaker:              [inaudible] chemical boys South wasn’t there last year? No. It was over the one that you’re thinking of the state of Michigan one with the CIO? No, not even dental was at Detroit science center. There’s that Kobo. No, there. Yeah, I was gonna say, cause there was the one that Michigan site, it was the cybersecurity summit. So that was the one that Snyder’s Brennan was there. Yes. But there was the other one we did. Oh. Oh, that was CBIS. Oh, that was a no, no, no, no. Uh, besides, so that was one of those two, what was it? B. Okay. Yeah. Cause it was on the second floor. Yeah. Yeah. That one second off besides, or was one of the, there’s two of them that are always back to back. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Speaker 4:           I mean, whatever it’s called. Anyways, it caused confusion for me. Paint up. Let’s just try now. I’m all screwed up. Shoot now. So that was good. Um, what else have we been doing? We, we just finished a overhaul on our security operation center. It looks awesome. Oh, I completely remodeled. Cool. Awesome. Kind of space age now. Yeah, it’s really fun coming from I was a baby so it was not that. And now it’s, Speaker:              well, you know, we need almost an Ivy designer cause it’s all like the fancy TV. Speaker 4:           I don’t even know. I’m like texting my old time clients from eight years ago. Like check on her sock now. I know you were here a while ago. Like what, five employees now? Yeah, it was small company, but we’re growing and we’re doing, it’s fun. It’s a fun place to be. The culture school. Um, and we’re going places. So it’s, it’s been really exciting or a year and a half and it’s been wild. Speaker:              Just the ride in that short time. How can we, we’ve grown and I say, I called it and you guys back in like, Oh eight when I was at HP, that’s when I first started talking to Dan. And, uh, yeah to that. That’s 11 years ago. Oh my God. But yeah, you guys are a little [inaudible] exactly. Go into the junior high dance doing the, the slow dance where your arms are fully extended. Yeah. Speaker 4:           Yeah. Now you’re getting our prayer fun. We’ve got a couple of, we’ve got security operation centers in, uh, in Denver and in Cincinnati now, so we’ve got a couple of different offices that are well staffed. It’s not just in commerce. So good for you guys. It’s fun. So when we send people to find out more, I go to, well go to careers@newspier.com Speaker:              and it’s, and you spoil, you’re not new. Did you buy NuSpire just to get really, should I probably do that actually should do that. I get a referral fee for that one too. You branding. Like, could that be real new is available. We’ll just as it can’t be reached. It’s not like means it’s available, but Hey, a new supplier and.com definitely check out 50 jobs. That sounds pretty amazing. Uh, we’ll, I’ll definitely send a few people your way. Um, Hey, we’re gonna wrap things up. This episode three 20 of the it and entity show. We’d like to thank our guests, Marie and Pat from NuSpire. I’d like to thank our sponsors, Zapier and Avalara. Thank you for keeping the lights on on behalf of uh, Bob, Dave and Randy. And Oh by the way, saw Nuri yesterday, says hello to say hello to everybody in the podcast sphere. Uh, on behalf of all of us, drink up your drinks. Get your phone numbers. You don’t gotta to go home. You just got to get the hell out of your CNX week drive. Careful. Beat it to y

On today's episode Seth and Kevin speaks to Steve Borden, VP of Business Development for Help Extraction Labs USA, about why they are currently seeking equity partners to finance 2,400 lb/day hemp extraction labs in Colorado. The investor will receive a Thirty Percent (30%) Equity Stake in the lab. Funds required to initiate this plan will be $5,350,000*. An investor would also have the option to upgrade the facility up to but no more than 6,000 lbs/day if they choose, at an additional cost of $4,200,000*. Steve's group expertise and current involvement in the Oil & Gas sector over the last two decades allows them to design, fabricate, equip and produce state of the art portable industrial labs quickly and efficiently for the O&G market. They have applied that same knowledge to the hemp industry. They have expert industrial design, electrical and mechanical engineers, along with bio-chemists and molecular biologists that are part of their team. Their extraction partners are also market leaders in molecular isolation. Their unique advantages and the incredible speed to fabricate and furnish the hemp labs opens up numerous possibilities for them right now without the constraints associated with site built construction. Currently they can fabricate (in house) 50 extraction labs a year at peak production. First to market wins the race.
