JACQUI OATLEY has quickly become a fixture in American soccer broadcasting. On Fox Sports, she worked the Men's World Cup in Qatar in 2022 and the Women's World Cup in Australia/New Zealand in 2023. Oatley is doing the Euros 2024 this summer on Fox Sports. She is the lead voice on CBS Sports for the NWSL. The native of Wolverhampton continues to do the EPL and much more TV and radio work in her native England. This is the story of how this woman got into the broadcast business and how far she's come. Recorded June 12, 2024

This episode was previously released on April 14, 2020Jacqui talks about her lifelong obsession with football, how she changed careers at 27 to re-train as a journalist and how lonely and isolated she felt after the hideous build up to her first appearance on BBC's Match of The Day. Being the first female commentator on Match of the Day is how Jacqui is best known to many. She went on to present the show in 2015, and in 2016 was awarded an MBE for her services to broadcasting and diversity.  Jacqui presented the BBC's flagship sports news show Sportsweek, hosted Euros and World Cups for BBC and ITV and now hosts football and darts for ITV. She recently became the first female host of Sky Sports Sunday Supplement show. It's no wonder that in 2015 Jacqui was named as the 8th most influential woman in sport by the Independent.Abbie Ward.

VIDEO: Budda in fila indiana ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_wwWewF6YwTESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7761LA REINCARNAZIONE E' INCOMPATIBILE CON IL CRISTIANESIMO (E CON LA RETTA RAGIONE) di Giacomo Samek LodoviciUno dei pilastri del buddismo e dell'induismo è costituito dalla dottrina della reincarnazione o metempsicosi, una concezione antichissima (sostenuta anche da molti filosofi, per esempio da Platone), professata anche da diversi occidentali, persino cristiani o cattolici. In realtà, però, questa dottrina è incompatibile con quella cristiana, per vari motivi.Per il reincarnazionismo:1) l'anima (da intendersi come io consapevole e volontario) preesiste al corpo e discende successivamente in un corpo;2) il soggetto coincide con la sua sola anima ed il corpo è solo un contenitore dell'anima (dualismo antropologico;3) alla morte del corpo l'anima sopravvive e si reincarna varie volte in altri corpi;4) solo dopo alcune reincarnazioni l'anima riceve definitivamente un premio o una punizione per come si è comportata, si libera finalmente dell'ultimo corpo e non ne assume più nessuno.Per il cristianesimo:1) l'anima non preesiste al corpo: nello stesso momento in cui avviene il concepimento di un nuovo corpo essa viene da Dio creata ed infusa in esso;2) il soggetto è un'unione di anima e corpo;3) alla morte del corpo l'anima sopravvive, ma non si reincarna in nessun corpo, bensì vive in uno stato di separazione dal corpo; solo alla fine del mondo l'anima si riunisce per sempre all'unico corpo (glorioso nel caso del beato) a cui era stata unita (resurrezione della carne;4) alla morte del corpo l'anima riceve subito e definitivamente da Dio un premio (il Paradiso, preceduto o no dal Purgatorio) o una punizione (l'Inferno).ALCUNE CRITICHE ALLA REINCARNAZIONEChiarite queste differenze, vediamo adesso alcune critiche filosofiche alla reincarnazione (altre si possono trovare nei testi citati in bibliografia).Nel reincarnazionismo il soggetto coincide con la sua sola anima ed il corpo è solo un contenitore dell'anima. Tuttavia, se rifletto su me stesso, percepisco che il mio corpo e la mia anima sono profondamente compenetrati, interagiscono intimamente, percepisco che io sono una sintesi di anima e corpo. Vediamolo.La mia anima agisce sul mio corpo, l'interiorità determina l'esteriorità. Ad esempio, pensiamo all'effetto placebo: se sono malato e un medico mi dà dell'acqua zuccherata, facendomi credere che mi sta somministrando una medicina, a volte io guarisco, o comunque miglioro, perché l'aspettativa e la fiducia di guarire, nutrite dalla mia anima, si riproducono sul mio corpo. Similmente, alcune malattie corporee sono una somatizzazione di fenomeni psichico-spirituali.Il dualista antropologico può ribattere che anche un contenitore viene modificato dalle condizioni del contenuto: per esempio una bottiglia di vetro viene scaldata/ raffreddata se l'acqua che contiene è calda/fredda. Sennonché, l'anima non solo agisce sul corpo, ma altresì traspare attraverso il corpo: se sono interiormente triste, allegro, ecc., l'espressione corporea del mio viso lo manifesta, a meno che io non dissimuli. Anzi, perfino quando cerchiamo di dissimulare le nostre emozioni, alcune microespressioni facciali (che pochi sanno notare) trapelano lo stesso (cfr. K. Oatley, Breve storia delle emozioni, il Mulino 2007, p. 176). Ancora, spesso, almeno ad una certa età, i lineamenti del viso e lo sguardo manifestano se una persona è particolarmente buona/ malvagia. Ora, è vero che anche un contenitore fa trasparire le condizioni del contenuto, per esempio una bottiglia di vetro fa trasparire le condizioni dell'acqua che essa contiene, ma può farlo solo se essa è trasparente, mentre il corpo non è trasparente, bensì opaco, è un po' come una bottiglia di vetro nero.Inoltre, il mio corpo agisce sulla mia anima: le sue condizioni si riverberano su di essa. Ad esempio, se il mio corpo è ferito o è accarezzato la mia anima ne risente. Più in generale, il corpo, che è sessuato, determina non solo l'aspetto fisico, ma anche la personalità, il carattere, l'emotività, il modo di reagire, il modo di ragionare, ecc., che negli uomini sono generalmente diversi da quelli delle donne.Il dualista antropologico anche qui può ribattere che anche le condizioni di un contenitore incidono sul contenuto: se una bottiglia di vetro riceve calore dall'esterno lo trasmette all'acqua che c'è dentro di essa e la scalda. Ma se una bottiglia viene rigata/accarezzata l'acqua non ne risente, mentre se il mio corpo viene rigato-ferito/accarezzato la mia anima ne risente.VARIANTI DEL REINCARNAZIONISMOIn alcune varianti del reincarnazionismo anima e corpo sono come prigione (corpo) e prigioniero (anima).Ora, questa variante comporta di nuovo i problemi già segnalati, ed inoltre ne comporta un altro. Infatti, l'anima è capace, almeno in certi casi, di dirigere- governare il corpo: decido di alzare un braccio e lo alzo, decido di alzarmi e mi alzo, ecc. Ma, allora, come può il prigioniero dirigere e governare la prigione?Nel reincarnazionismo l'anima perde la conoscenza delle esistenze precedenti quando scende nel corpo; ma, poi, è proprio il corpo che, attraverso l'esperienza, le fa acquisire le nuove conoscenze. In tal modo, il corpo è ciò che fa perdere la conoscenza e ciò che la fa acquisire, il che è problematico quanto l'esistenza di una matita che lascia dei segni sulla carta e che inoltre li cancella (una matita non può cancellarli in quanto matita, bensì solo se ad essa è attaccata una gomma).In alcune versioni del reincarnazionismo l'anima umana si reincarna anche in corpi animali o vegetali o inorganici per espiare una colpa commessa nelle esistenze precedenti.Se scendendo in tali esseri non umani l'anima perde consapevolezza, insorge un nuovo problema. Infatti, l'espiazione richiede afflizione, ma non ci può essere afflizione se non c'è consapevolezza: io non espio alcunché se qualcuno mi commina una punizione che non mi accorgo affatto di scontare.Se invece scendendo nei corpi l'anima conserva la consapevolezza, il problema non c'è, ma se ne aggiunge un altro, perché è già problematico affermare che animali, vegetali e corpi inorganici hanno consapevolezza.

So, he set out to solve the problem of fresh iced coffee. After thinking through the fundamentals, including what he learned from his father and from school, he invented the Snapchill process.  Kyle Bosshardt, Senior Sales and Operations ManagerKyle Bosshardt joined Snapchill in the Spring of 2020 as the Senior Sales and Operations Manager.

McLaren's prestige in Formula 1 is built on the foundations of legendary success. The team has won eight Constructor titles and produced some of the most distinguished World Champions to grace the sport. That history wouldn't exist without the genius of people like Neil Oatley. His wisdom and expertise has served F1 for nearly half a decade. Such longevity equals legacy in this sport. Neil first made a name for himself as a race engineer at Williams in the late 1970's, playing a huge part in the team's first Grand Prix victory and subsequent World Championships for Alan Jones and Keke Rosberg in the early 80's. But it was as McLaren's chief designer when Neil really certified his status as one of the most influential engineers of all time. From 1989 to 1999, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Mika Hakkinen all won World Championships in cars designed by Oatley. In a fascinating conversation with Tom Clarkson, Neil relives some of the most iconic memories from his extraordinary career. He reveals what it was like to work with some of the greatest drivers and to have a front-row seat for Senna and Prost's fierce rivalry. Plus, Neil tells Tom how the role of engineer and driver has evolved, how he's still helping McLaren today, and much more.

Professor Thomas Oatley is the Corasaniti-Zondorak Chair of International Relations at Tulane University. He focuses his research and teaching on the intersection of American hegemony and international political economy (IPE). Widely regarded as a scholar at the leading-edge of IPE research, Thomas has in recent years adopted an explicit complex systems frame to undergird a powerful critique of orthodox IPE and international relations approaches to studying the global economy and world order. In this conversation we talk about the value of thinking in terms of complex systems, why complexity theory remains on the margins of global political scholarship, the nexus between our global financial and energy systems, green industrial policy and much, much more.

Oh, the teenage years. A time of dealing with hormones, emotions, schoolwork, rebellion, possible family dysfunction, relationships, social life, mental health, and more. Experiencing everything for the first time.Ah, and…puppy love. Having someone's hand to hold, a best friend, someone who wants to spend all their time with you, feeling special, and cared for. But what if said partner is extremely manipulative? Not only to their significant other but everyone around them.A teenager with narcissistic traits. A craving for control and attention.

Jill and Simon hear how huge the scope of wine production is under the ROW portfolio. Darren Jahn overseas the marketing of the Robert Oatley Brand and that's why we are seeing their wines from sailing clubs to top restaurants across the country and overseas. Led by Larry Cherobino the winemaking team source fruit and make wine from all over Australia, it is fascinating to hear how they keep quality at the required standard whilst fulfilling an ever increasing demand for the wines. This is a brand with a really great back story. @robertoatleywines

The former outstanding Randwick trainer talks about his introduction to horses at an Oatley riding school, and his interest in becoming an apprentice jockey.  Bob recalls that his interview with Tommy Smith was arranged by his father's friend Arthur Davies, better known as Channel 9's Clarence The Clocker. He looks back on 40 winners as an apprentice- most trained by his master, and all on metropolitan tracks. He acknowledges other great horsemen who helped him along the way.  Bob spent 17 years at Tulloch Lodge but left following a dispute with T.J.Smith. He explains the circumstances. He reflects on a modest start as a trainer with one horse and a rented box on the corner of Barker and Botany Streets at Randwick. The lady who owned the stable waived the rent when Bob agreed to train her horse.  Bob remembers his association with an owner who purchased a tried horse from a Rosehill stable. The horse was Tudor Charger who became the trainer's very first winner, and at Royal Randwick of all places. It's great to hear the distinguished horseman profile the galaxy of stars he got to train in a solo career embracing close to four decades. It's not hard to pick his personal favourites. Bob talks of the talented apprentices he had in the stable during his training days. He acknowledges the great jockeys to ride for the stable with special mention of Shane Dye. He had a fascination with cars from an early age. That interest led him to an association with vintage cars which continues to this day. Bob highlights some of the “collectors items” to pass through his hands over the years. Bob's training career didn't end the way he would have liked. He was none too pleased when the Australian Turf Club informed him of an impending relocation from his High St stables. He looks back on the dispute which hastened his retirement.  Bob concludes the podcast on a sentimental note. He takes us back to the Tulloch Lodge days when he got to ride some legendary horses in afternoon exercise. He drops a couple of famous names.

Welcome to the Busi-ness Podcast.My guests today are Simon Polet and Benoit Fortpied, co-founders of sustainable merchandise business, Merchery. Childhood friends, Simon and Benoit always knew they wanted to build a business together and three years ago, they launched a side project selling reusable water bottles, alongside their respective jobs. After becoming hugely popular with businesses on the hunt for branded bottles, the pair noticed a huge gap in the corporate merchandise market for beautiful and sustainable products and Merchery was born. Since launching in May 2020, Merchery has created stunning and sustainable merch for brands such as Deliveroo, Spotify and Oatley, with plenty of exciting projects in the pipeline, including expansion in the US and some serious tech development to improve the customer experience even more.We covered several topics, including the moment they realised their project was more than just a side hustle and the advantages and disadvantages of launching a business in the midst of a global pandemic. We chatted about the corporate merchandise industry and how Merchery is shaking it up with sustainability and modern tech at the forefront of its mission. The pair spoke openly about their relationship as both friends and co-founders, their attitude towards competition and what success means to them. It was so interesting to chat to Benoit and Simon and hear their honest and refreshing insights and experience. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What y'all are watching and trading today. A B here, Spencer with me as always Spencer, how are we doing today?We're doing well. We're doing well. Uh, how do we want on the new intro? I saw I saw a new intro. I think it, I think it's, it's part of the way there. I don't think it's all the way there. Do you want to run with the, uh, part of the way there and new intro, the old intro, or just roll? Why don't we roll? No intro today.Let's just rolling. No intro. This is the show it is starting actually already has started. Somy question may be is what has taken a bigger haircut? My head or my portfolio? I don't know. I mean, hopefully your, your portfolio is not taking too big of a haircut. Considering cannabis stocks are all up nicely today. They are, um, using some of my handy-dandy metrics out of the top five trending tickers on social media.So Reddit, Twitter, all the whole investing sphere, two out of the top five trending stocks are in the cannabis space. Spend six. Guess what those two stocks are. Okay. Okay. Without looking two of the top five trending, trending on social media stocks today, um, Uh, are they both stocks? Are any of them? ETS?Are they both? Stocks is one of them kind of be growth? Nope. Damn. Okay. Oh, for one is one of them Grogan. Nope. One for two. Okay. Is one of them, are they both? Are they OTC? No. Uh huh. A Tilray would be the third, the third guest. So Ray's one of them. I see the other one in the chat sundial. Yep. Tiller and sundial are two of the top five trending tickers.Uh, the non-cannabis stocks in that top five are Tesla, Nvidia and Vivian. Okay. So, um, we're, we're going to talk about all this today. Let's talk about everything so that, you know, Tilray and the rest of the cannabis stocks are up on the news that the Republicans are bringing forth a bill to legalize cannabis in the United States.Um, Spencer, do you know anything more about that bill? Uh, another due to present it today, uh, I got to give the, give it to the Republicans. They just basically just hijacked and one of the key issues on the democratic platform and said, well, we'll take that. Thank you very much. Yeah. They're basically saying, Hey, if you guys aren't going to do this, we will and we'll get the credit for it because it's one of those measures that's widely popular throughout the, um, you know, all voters in the United States.So it's, it's. You know, one of those things that'll be a good, easy political win for the Republican so we can get it through which we will see. Um, but either way, I mean, even if they don't, because then if the Democrats step in and have problems with the bill and they can say, oh, Hey look, it's the Democrats holding up, um, you know, legalizing cannabis, which again is something that's, that's very popular.Um, solar up saying, yeah, they, they want to legalize the profits, but we'll see. I mean, I assume there will be, you know, we'll see if, if there can be bipartisan, um, support and work done on the bill. I'm not very bullish on that. We should probably save this discussion for later on, on this show, because we're going to have a cannabis related CEO, uh, on Doug Drysdale was a CEO of Simon to your CYB N related to cannabis, uh, kind of right.Tangentially. It's the same idea of legalizing a drug. It's the same idea, uh, surviving, um, psychedelics are a few years behind cannabis. Um, in everything, right? In terms of regulatory changes, legalization and capital markets a few years on cannabis. So, um, I would be curious to get Doug's thoughts on all this, but I, that being said, speaking of guests, uh, we skipped it on here.Cause our first guest will be on here joining in, in a minute or so. Um, Matt Hamon from IPO warriors is going to recap, uh, last week in IPO lane and preview what is to come this week in IPO's. I'd be curious to hear how Matt played a reveal. And last week I mentioned our Drysdale, uh, from Simon. That'll be at 1245.Love Jake, would you ask Dick from transporter on the show one and Chris Capri from seconds guys trading on the show at one 30. So do as a favor, hit that like button, tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your friends, neighbors, dog. And, uh, we can get ourselves off to a good show today. Good start to the week.So like you said, markets in the green, at least last I checked I'm in the green. You're in the green row on the green. What about Dylan? What about Igor? What about bear for one of the chats? I actually took a little thump ski it's in the red right now, but it looks like it's coming back up. I don't know.Yeah, I know it dropped about a quarter for cent out of nowhere at around 11:40 AM Eastern. So that's interesting that 20 minutes ago, I know we'll keep an eye on that. Uh, Q Q kind of same thing, but yeah, Spencer, so big headline over the weekend was of course, Elon Musk on Twitter, uh, you know, took a shot at Bernie Sanders, which some people love.Some people didn't love. Uh, but, but overall, the, the bigger story here is just Tesla's price action in the last week. Um, the stock let's pull up a chart so we can wait, I'll pull my, while you talk, this stock is down more than 15% in the last week. So we're used to seeing Tesla stock, you know, take rips up.Of course, nothing goes straight up. There will be dips along the way, but usually with Tesla, those are followed by bigger rips. The question is, will we get that bigger rip or what will we see the weakness continue? And Tesla's chart. What is test on a bear market? Is that what this is? Where, uh, let me, I'm going on a different chart here by standard definition of going down 20% or more, um, from its all time highs yesterday in a bear market.Oh my God. Yeah. I mean, we, like I said, we will see, cause a lot of times these dips are followed by bigger rips. And that will be the question with Tesla stock. I think this week will be very, very important to see, um, who knows by the end of the week, we could be back at all time highs at around 1200 or we could come all the way back down to 800.So anyone out there that's trading Tesla, let me know how you are trading it in the chat. I'm very curious, you know, are you, are you playing it with the options? Are you buying the stock? Are you buying the dip? Um, let us know what you think about Tesla, because right now it just seems like there's a lot of wins being taken out of the sale.Of course, Elon Musk has a lot of different reasons to sell stock. Part of it is that if he doesn't sell any now than a lot of his options can expire, um, without him exercising them because you can only exercise so many each quarter. So if he doesn't start doing it now, um, he literally needs money to pay the taxes, right.And, and like, and she doesn't have the money they're there. They're the adage goes, there are a bunch of reasons to sell a stock, um, paying taxes, being one of them. There are only a few reasons to buy one reason to buy. There's only one reason. One reason to buy. Well, yeah, we'll say there's only one reason buy what's the other reason using the one, one reason why talking to.Well, if you're like a inset. Yeah. But if you're say short a stock, you need to buy it to cover. You know, there, there are multiple reasons you can buy something. If you're an insider, like Elon Musk is, and you're going to buy the stock. There really is only one reason because you think it's going higher.There are a multitude of reasons is why you would want to sell a stock. But I think regardless of what that reason is for Elan, um, for Tesla, shareholders and Tesla fans in general, seen him sell stock is a bear sign. So we shall see. But right now, Tesla down about 4% on the day, continuing, uh, uh, bear trend for the stock, which we haven't said in a while.So, um, again, let us know in the chat, how you guys are trading it. Um, etc. Same Tesla just approved to sell electricity and sexist. We'll see if that can be a catalyst for the stock, but who knows, Dave is saying he's buying the dip every time it's on sale. So it has been proven right? Time and time again, buying the dip always works.Isn't that the rule, it always works except in some stocks. Yep. So Spencer, before we get to Matt Hammond, we've got one more headline, this one in the restaurant space. Um, so if you're a, you know, a fan of fast food chains, whatever this may interest you, uh, QSR. Yeah. We know it. Owners of burger king and Timmy hoes over owners of burger king, Tim Horton's, Popeye's just acquired another brand today and an all cash deal, a sandwich.Franchise, you know which one that is Spencer? I, well, I saw the headline, it was firehouse subs. It was $5, billion dollars for firehouse. So some expensive subs. So that just goes to show you guys, if you open a sub shop and you do well and you franchise it out a little bit, you can sell it for a billion dollars.A restaurant brands goes out, buys, firehouse, and then a $1 billion cash meal, uh, you know, will, it looks like the markets like the move for QSR up about a percent, but nothing crazy. So we will see how prior house is able to impact, uh, restaurant brands is, you know, revenue, balance sheet overall, but just some, just some headlines in the restaurant space.That is, that is a, those are some expensive stuff. That's all I'll say by Shelly, congrats to the firehouse subs, seriously, that company donates a portion of their profits to firehouses. So, so congrats to them. Great job. Yeah. Who knows? Maybe they'll stop that. Now that they're under new ownership. I doubt it.I hope not. Um, Shelly pointed out another headline in the, in the restaurant, fast food space. So McDonald's announced a partnership is still relevant. It's about to be holiday season. So every time Mariah Carey she's and it's here, it's here. It makes it come back every year around Christmas time. So we've seen, McDonald's do this with a few other artists have, have, you know, deals.They have one with BTS the popular, uh, K-pop Korean pop band. They have one with Travis Scott. Um, so now they're doing the same with Mariah K. Yeah, I know. So anyway, uh, so we know it's approaching Mariah Carey's season. Uh that's that's in a couple of weeks though. Uh, you know what season is now? It's Manhattan season.It's IPO season. Let's get mad at him and all the total talks to my POS. Is he at? Nah. Hey, I'm doing great. How are you guys doing it is IPO season. Um, we had an off season there and, uh, some, some pretty big ones. So, uh, okay, excellent. I can't wait to hear how you put revealed last week. So here you go. I told you I was going to watch for Vivian, but it did play out what we'll get to that one in a second.Um, first thing I wanted to say is thanks to everybody who contributed to the fundraising campaign. I said, I wanted to get some better streaming equipment. I want to live stream. Some IPOs have been talking with Benzinga they've at least indicated. Maybe we'll do a little bit more switching out to watching some of these actually go live.I think it would have been pretty fun to watch some of what ribbon did, uh, you guys have, you know, talking to Rowan, he's going to kick me out some gear as well. Uh, but we, uh, we got $2,000 in under one week. Um, and I really appreciate all the support. Some of the things I'm gonna use that for is improving the presentation quality of these, uh, kind of weekly shows.I would like to do some live streaming of the IPO debuts. And if time allows, I will do some video breakdowns of the IPO as before, uh, before they go live. Um, really appreciate that. It's not too late to contribute more, I'll buy more stuff and, um, you know, improve things even better. You should have some equipment on the way, man.Yes. So I've heard and I, and I'll ask for some, if you guys have some t-shirts or stuff, I'll wear those on the, on the show and with what I'm doing. So, you know, uh, yeah. Yeah. Well say what's on your waist. Some schwag sweats. Okay. So we actually had a lot of really good ones. Um, we talked about sent a one off 25%.We'll just run through these real quick. I didn't like this as a play. I don't generally like, uh, anything that dumps like that anyway, uh, dumped off the debut. If you did say, Hey, wait, this is below the IPO price. It's dip this far. How, you know, how bad could it get? Um, you know, you were rewarded not just with a retracement up to , which is a lot of times all that we see.Um, but if you held through that and said, okay, well, I'll give this some room to run. Uh, it just for no real reason blew up, uh, head up to 2250. And you know, one of the things about trading is you're looking for, uh, stocks with catalysts. You're looking for volatility. That's what you're looking for in day trading.And that's why I like IPO is not, all of them are going to do this. Uh, but if you have, if you like this company, I guess a lot of people do like this company, um, you know, your catalyst is, Hey, it's IP. Uh, the momentum, the volatility, the volume are all going to be about as high as you can ask for on the days that they IPO, which is what make these attractive targets for a day traders.So St was one society pass. If you remember last week, I said, Hey, this kind of, you know, a crappy, uh, Asian e-commerce ish, you know, S IPO that really looks sort of weird with a pretty low float. This could be a stealth IPO. Um, I tried to get in on this, and unfortunately we will hit the indication price rate before it debuted.So I had mindset at 1350 and it debuted at 1550 and then dropped to 15. So if I had been a little bit more aggressive out of caught this ride from 15 through four halts, top tier, like 42 or something, um, came back here around 30 and we see these just run the same pattern, ran up to 52. Uh, the next morning ran up to 70 and we saw these with thanks.Uh, C pop, um, TRS. Why do you suppose that is? I don't know if we've ever, if I've ever acted that before. Yeah. So there's different theories about this. Um, Having talked about it with a bunch of people and putting our heads together. The thing that makes the most sense to me is that, you know, whoever's buying it way up here is not trying to buy low and sell high.They're almost like trying to buy high and sell low, um, or really just buy high and not give a crap. I was going to say, buy high and sell higher. I thought, well, I mean, who's buying, I mean, they are pushing this up through halts on day two, you know, and somebody paid somebody up at $60 for a garbage company.I mean, we saw EJH was one of them that did this and it's like a cleaning company in China. Uh, w and w which spiked yesterday through some Holtz off some random, I mean, they're, they're low float to begin with. They tend to try to do things to deter us from seeing them or for wanting to play them.They're so bad that, um, you know, no one in their right mind is going to pay this thing. The IPO price was a $99, you know, who is going to say, okay, well, this company has no revenue or barely any revenues. The, uh, the, the platforms that they run are garbage. Uh they're they're just losing money. You know, who's going to pay $15.It's so bad that it's good. It's so bad. That it's good. That's what I think. I know. I mean, my, my answer and for this until proven otherwise is that they're all, they all have ties to China. I mean, we saw FCU. The was a uplifting. They all have a similar on underwriters. This one was max. We've seen a lot of them that were, uh, boasted securities.We saw a bunch that were network one financial Sutter, and a lot of these companies have done IPOs together. They've co-written, um, you know, been the co-writers on IPOs as the underwriters. So there's sort of like, they must happen my theory and they use the same lawyers and they have, uh, my opinion is that they're helping Chinese and other wealthy Asians, especially Chinese follow money out of China.So if you have a whole bunch of money in a bank account in China, and you're trying to get it into Hong Kong or Singapore or into the Western markets, what you can do is you can issue shares somehow out to, you know, if you can hand shares cheaply to your cousin or your uncle or some affiliated partner outside of China then, and just tell them, Hey, I will control the, you know, control it, just control the float.And I will buy, you know, as much of this stuff as I can, uh, with this say $200 million I have in a bank account here in China, you know, that money as I buy those shares that no one else has no. You know, who else is participating in this market? Not a lot of people. So if I'm the only one buying your shares, I'm basically giving you that money and moving that money from China to, um, you know, to the west.And I talked about last week, pets, pets was one that I had called out a month ago and sent out to my newsletter when it was about a dollar 30 or a dollar for. Because they had the same underwriter do a direct offering of 30 million shares basically at about 60 or came out to about 30 cents a share when you factored out the warrants and the profits.And you're like, well, that should just sink the share price, but it didn't, it did a little bit, um, but it came right back up and now it's up at $6. You know, it was at $4 when we talked about it on the show last week. So why are they doing this? Why is hoodie H UDI? Why has that got to $45 in the last, you know, few months?Why has, why did TRX go all the way up to a hundred dollars? And then in one day lost 90% of its value with, you know, with no headline, no new news, no nothing. Um, why does, uh, w and w sometimes randomly pop, why do, uh, you know, why do these go well? Because in my opinion, they're moving money. They're using these as vehicles to get money out of Asia and into, you know, Western markets and the seat after, after this happened, I went back and said, geez, you know, Y you know, what, what did I miss here to not make me just put my limit order at like 16 or 20 for that matter?And I went back and I looked up, the CEO is, you know, extensive experience doing startups in Shanghai. The CFO, you know, is Chinese. So, um, you know, there are hands FCU V when we look back at it, we said, oh, we had our eye on it. And it took a day before they ran it from like five or $6, all the way to 25. Uh, in one day after their up listing, and then now it's come way back down, but what was up there?Oh, the whole, like the only three employees are all very, very Chinese as in, they don't even have American alias names. They're Chinese engineers. So this tie back to China, and that makes sense if you're a wealthy Chinese person with tons of money in China right now, given what, you know, president Xi is doing over there, he is basically cracking down on the wealthy and if I was a rich person, uh, or a rich person in China, more specifically, I would be trying to get my money out of there too.And it's not easy to do that. So even if you're paying a 30, 20, or 30% premium on the shares that maybe get bought out or sold by other people, um, and this is an effective way to, and it's not the first time that the stock market has been used as a way to funnel cash out of a country. The Russians were doing this in the nineties.Um, and that's, that's the only answer that I have. How does, you know, how do completely garbage companies make insane runs? Uh, that all of a sudden, I mean, this one's still kind of holding on, but I don't, it's, it's, it's nowhere near any reasonable valuation and all of these tend to Peter out, or they all do Peter out eventually.And when I look at pets and what they're doing there, I'm just like, okay, I'll just, I sold enough. You know, I bought in at basically a dollar 20 and I sold enough when I reached eight on one of these days where it gets by. That I've already paid for my position. And now I can just sit back and if they run it, I think they're still running it because it hasn't fallen out yet.And when it does fair enough, fair enough. Anyway, I try to call these out when I I've made huge profits on some of these, uh, I made 30,000, $33,000 on a thousand shares of TRX. When it debuted, it went opened at 17, went into a three-hour hall and opened up again at $50. You know, so if you can spot these and you take kind of a, okay, well, you know, I'll, I'll give it a shot approach to it.I mean, the, the returns have been massive. UTME that was another one. Anyway, back to the more traditional kind of fun and boring ones that are also profitable. If you play them right. Expensify, we said we liked, uh, we got in here at the debut. I do like taking a $2 profit rate off the run. Um, it's sort of, kind of the easiest, I would say two hours and trading is defined a good, you know, a good company with these guys had to have a positive baseline financials.They're somewhat brand recognized the float wasn't too big and it gave you exactly what you expected right off the debut. So you buy a thousand shares, get in it, you know, say 39 75, sell it at 42. That's like a really pretty comfortable, easy 5% win, uh, right off the bat. Uh, the market. Wasn't really rewarding.These IPO's on day one, the way that we've seen maybe three or four weeks ago. So this one pulled back a bit. You could try to double dip. I generally don't do that. Uh, but where the real money was in these plays and I'm taking notes for kind of the next set of, uh, of IPOs is a, these day two runs. Uh, this one actually touched $50 today.You talked about that a lot. So especially for brand name IPO's, a lot of people are starting to kind of come into the IPO. I'd say that the number of followers I've got has been much higher over the last two weeks than the, you know, the previous six months. And I think a lot of people are keying in on it and it's, in some ways you have to adjust because if everybody's buying in pre debut, that's less demand once it actually goes live.But a lot of people are kind of catching that overnight media cycle where the, you know, the headlines say, you know, Expensify pops 50% on its debut, and they're not talking about this move. They're talking about the IPO price was like 18, and then it debuted at I. Yeah, I, and you know it, wherever you can do the same thing.I I'm hoping we can get to that because I, I was taken aback at the ferociousness of the day to run in green river. And I guess I shouldn't have been, but I was cause. Because it seemed to go straight down, skip through the, to that one that, or, you know, black ways, again, $2 taker just right on the debut, $2 in your out hole, you know, and you can hold these and they come back in.I wanted to show you one thing about holding IPOs. And again, I don't consider playing a debut to be super risky is, um, okay. People who played this cocoa water, uh, you guys were talking about it this morning and that was a, it was actually not a good debut play. Uh, and which is why, you know, when people ask me, oh, what do you think of this company?I'll say, well, you know, for a long-term position, I don't, I wouldn't suggest buying debut. Um, but you do want to start watching it then, because then you kind of know where it's ranges, where it trends. But if he did say, oh no, this one's going to do great. Uh, everyone loves it. Uh, I'm gonna, I'm going to buy the debut and you got stuck in it and you didn't get any kind of day to run.I've held IPO debuts for, you know, usually it's about a month before you're gonna see what it's going to turn around or not. And the catalyst you're looking for after the debut is the end of the media. Um, or the, uh, press release kind of silence, period. I guess they call it. And the first earnings report.Now, these guys happen to come in with a very strong earnings report. And if you had liked this company enough to buy the debut and you have the conviction to buy it there, why not hold it here? See what it does. And. You know, today you finally gotten, you know, today was the first day after a month, basically a trading that you got an opportunity to take your profits.Do you stop there? Probably I do. If I'm holding a bag and I'm given the opportunity to cut it for a non loss, I'm out, um, very rarely will I hold longer than a day to have it come back and then say, no, I'm going to get greedy. Uh, that's only hurt me when I've tried to be pigs, get slaughtered anyway, a vaccine city by the halt, uh, by the debut, this had a ton of buzz, low float, sell the halt right there.Easy as pie and take your profits. Say thank you. Uh, derm debut below. Where did I put ribbon? Okay. I would love your thoughts here. Cause it seemed like he just went straight down and I, and I want to pull it up on, um, give me a second. I'll pull it up and we can look at the, uh, the chart here. So ravines pretty much exactly what I said.It would do two things. One, I had just taken a win on a. What was it? The, uh, Backblaze or the one before that was earlier in the day and after take a win off and just be like, okay, that's the one I wanted. I am, you know, I can try to keep playing more, but I ended up starting to make bad decisions and, uh, try to control against that.Uh, Ratheon was on one hand, a great a, you know, I mean, how much more social media buzz and momentum could you ask for than any V play when Tesla just broke a thousand and it had a lot of other great, uh, you know, I had a lot of good storylines to it. The Amazon deal it's Ford as an investor, um, but had a huge float and I don't like huge floats the floats 153 million shares.And we S I think I said on the show that it reminded me a bit of snowflake and Coinbase. And my, and my, uh, theory was that we'd get about 10, 15 minutes of upward momentum and then correction, which is exactly what we saw. And for me, I'm not long EVs. I still think that, you know, at some point in the not so distant future, the market is going to realize that selling vehicles is only so profitable that not everybody, um, is just going to buy one model.And, uh, you know, they got supply chain issues. It's just the valuations on these don't line up with what automobiles have traditionally sold for. And I think eventually we see that I don't know when it's going to happen. Clearly it wasn't this week. Um, w I did, you know, so I was in the gym and I was watching, you know, ticker in between sets.And when I saw it kind of come here, I think I'd got off my run and it was a hundred. I thought I already missed that dip here, but, you know, maybe that's the, maybe that's the place to buy for the day to media run, because this is clearly going to get a ton of media hype. And then it started moving down again.And I kind of said, um, maybe, you know, maybe it's not as hard as I thought it was, but clearly if you saw this and bought in for the day too, and I mean, you're in an excellent position. It's a one, I mean, Clayton has pointed out. I, I, I, I lost sight of it. Yeah. I mean, w w w we did, we hit one 50. Yeah, we did.We hit one 50. Holy cow. Holy moly. So if I had pulled that day, you know, that day one trigger down here, I would have sold it, maybe one 20. Anyway, I just don't like I went through over the weekend. I went through and I really needed to do a bit of a self evaluation of Metro. And I make so much more on IPO and sort of like, you know, I like to stack guys like Mitch, uh, and the, you know, the blanking on his name there, the guy that does the, the selection.I mentioned Chris. So they have, I mean, the, the, the, the amount of money that they've made for traders in their spec, like the spec catalyst to me, is kind of similar to the IPO. It's like, you know, what's coming up, you know, that it's going to have a merger vote, you know, that it's going to DCE back and become, you know, a name and that's going to be immediate, you know, the next door.That was pretty obvious media catalyst. And I went from like 11 to 18 in one day. Uh, so these, you know, I like specs and IPO's because no, where, you know, it's so easy to time what's going to happen with everything else in FDA announcement, that's going to come off market. Or, you know, whoever gets the news first is going to get it.And some, a spike right up, you know, you don't know that that's coming or these other plays. And I looked back and I just I've done so well on these words, swing trades, where you're trying to find the bottom and, you know, read the trend and you have to wait, you know, a long time to make your money.Whereas an IPO, I want to make money in like one or two days at keep my, you know, my money in cash. You know, the market can crash one day and I'm not exposed. And I'm just in a, to me, it's it fits my style. Uh, if you can't sit there and play these in real time, would your screen all day, you know, then it's not a great trade.If you're good at day trading and reading charts and all that stuff, you know, maybe that's better for you. I'm not. Uh, I ended up, you know, with a long list of bags, waiting for them to turn around. I like to get in, get out, hold for one or two days, maybe three, if I really think it's hot and maybe I should have read this one a little bit more.It's also, is it a price where it could come down a lot more as well? So, um, never been great with EVs, but we'll see this week, there's a lesson to take forward from this week that maybe we will, uh, be able to catch. So, um, let's, uh, jump through affinity. I think we've recovered, uh, covered those. So this week's featured IPOs.Do you want to say anything more about ribbon? No. I was just curious to hear how you played it. I mean, I sorta lost sight of it today, so I was surprised to see it at one 50. I realistic. I felt like going in, we were, we were Jones in for, for a rock pole on the way that was wrong. That was wrong. Uh, but it just sorta had those vibes near, but Hey, sometimes the obvious place to play.So, uh, what do we have this week? Ooh, she was asking me when I became a speck fan. Uh, the first fact that I really banked money on was, um, what was that? Uh, Nicola. So I've been in SPAC since pretty much the second one. That was it. That was the second big one of this. Yeah, that was yeah. After fan do. And I got FanDuel like the day after it disrespect or not FanDuel or DraftKings drafting.So I got, I got dressed and that was like, I didn't really know what a SPAC was. And I think a lot of his back was that in, in may of 2020, so that put them on the maps, put us up, put us on the map. And since then I've played a TMC Michonne. Uh Chris's you know, uh, I got high on cue. I got, uh, they're they're, they're a handful they've been, they've been pretty good.Uh, and it just, you know, don't get greedy, take your profits and, uh, you know, look for the next one. I'm actually almost always sell out, but by the time I see, you know, 20 to 30% up, I'm just like, yeah. So thanks, bye. You know, and, uh, raise up the cash. And then they run up to like a hundred percent gainers, but that's okay.My room, I have two rules and trading. They are, uh, written here. So I don't forget. They are take like you can't read them, take profits without regret. And don't chase. Those are my two rules. As long as I stick to those, every time I break those and get myself in trouble, when I stick to those rules to do pretty well.You got the calendar. I saw one, the other jumped out to me, but so, so let's run through the boring ones. Sure. Uh, sonar group is not so boring when you consider solar coding for. And they do have, this has sexy all over it. Yeah. And they have, so they don't have any revenues, no point in going over financials, they do have 50 million in customer deposits for their sign-on vehicle.Um, as I understand, those are deposits that, uh, I don't know what the refundability is on those, but when you combine two hot, you know, you're talking about eco solar and Evy and that's, you know, how, how much more do you want there? Right. And you can't put Bitcoin in it's can you, um, so not, yes. Yeah. Right.But you can buy with Bitcoin. That would be the next catalyst. Um, but, uh, yeah. Uh, they, if they mined Bitcoin with the spare solar power, then maybe you could, you could pump this up even more than it is, but this is about as much, um, kind of hype buzzwords. You can cram into something right now. And I got to try this one because, you know,yeah, Wednesday, we don't have any until Wednesday kind of a little bit thinner week. This week, Iris energy. This is a Bitcoin miner. Uh, they don't hold Bitcoin on its balance sheets apparently. But if Bitcoin, how is that possible? Uh, maybe they just sell it right away. I'll on mine and they sell it. Okay.That's something new. I gotta, I gotta research a little bit more, but they do have positive cashflow and operating profit, which leads me to believe that they are selling these, um, And they're basically they're using IPO money to buy more hardware. So if they're successful in mining, why not scale up? Uh, especially when the price of Bitcoin, at least a lot of people believe it's headed to, um, you know, to a hundred thousand.So if the, unless Bitcoin crashes before Wednesday, uh, this looks like a pretty hot play. S D I G, and a couple of the other, all the other Bitcoin IPOs have done pretty well. So 8.27 million shares. That's pretty low float. I like this. Uh, you know, the trend is your friend Bitcoins are trending. So we got my point, right.With all these IPO's. So we've got Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. None of them have priced yet. Right. Do we have an expected w we have the ranges, but we don't have the pricing until, and the pricing can change, especially for the hot ones can change dramatically. Can you give the range on these if you have them?Okay. For, I don't know, they might've pulled as C S E V already. That's too bad. Let me see a Sono price range. 14 to 16. Okay. Um, we've got, uh, IRN 25 to 20. So for the hot ones, we often see them get bumped by, you know, a dollar or two price out of range, a price at the high end and things start pricing at the low end then, unless, you know, if you get a discount to that then, okay.Maybe that's interesting. Uh, in other words, the debut comes live below the IPO price. That's been a pretty safe, uh, play, as it works its way back up to the IPO price, you would expect not a lot of IPO price, uh, buyers are selling, uh, for an immediate loss. So, um, but kind of pricing in the middle that has not been a very good, a sign of strength and I'm generally sitting on the sidelines for those.Okay. Um, but yeah, I mean, solar, Evie, and Bitcoin to lead off the schedule, those, you know, once they should be fun, uh, user testing, this is a platform for companies to test user engagement processes. Uh, maybe it's a good business revenues up 44% last nine months gross profit up 51%. Um, but negative cashflow, negative operating loss, negative income.This is kind of just one of those SAS plays where I've never heard of this company before. It reminds me a little bit of this company was like internet advertising program IAP or something. I don't know the. If you, if there's no brand recognition, they have to be really strong to get, you know, people to come in and buy them.And there's also a sort of odd follow on offering lurking in the, this is not the, it's not a lock of expiration, but they have the right to sell an additional 27 million shares. If the price is 10% above the IPO price, you know, it's something like over 10 days in the previous week or something like that, the point is that the debut price will likely be over 10% to begin with.So if the IPO price on this is, uh, 15 to 17, let's say they debut at 17 or 18, and then it actually debuts at 20. So if they IPO price at 17 or 18 and debut at 20, you already at that 10% level, and then it's, it's think it's a hundred days or something 90 days, then they can, you know, then they can sell them 27 additional shares, which almost doubled, you know, it's more than doubles the float.And I don't really like it when I see those kinds of things just gives me shivers, like remembering what coping had hidden in its, uh, lockup period, which was probably the worst IPO I can recall. Um, playing that was the day was you'd have like 60 or 65 and miss now at 27 and never even gave you like a.Courtesy rebounded any point, really? It just was a downward downward dumpster fires. Alright, super interesting here. Um, res, now this one is, I mean, a similar customer engagement and communication. Revenue's up 2.6% gross profits up 60% again, negative baselines. And unfortunately it comps to Weaver, which last week did not do well on its debut and brace has a higher valuation, but I think it might appeal to more businesses.So I don't know, 8 million shares. It's just, I don't feel super good about these. And given that there are others that I do like more this week, I probably just let these pass. I can't play every single IPO. There are people who have that approach, you know, for them and they really manage those trades.They're better at day trading than I am. They buy on the dip and just hold it for ever sometimes. But, uh, this one to me, both of these sort of user cutting and Braves, both in customer engagement, if user testing, somehow those, well, maybe that changes my opinion on Brays, but I'm looking forward more to this one.It's a sweet garden. Now we talked before about how restaurant chains have done really well on their IPO's. And I kind of include bros in that, uh, you know, in that group because it's a chain. It does well on. You know, on a limited number of locations, the theory being well, if you raise a bunch of money and expand it nationwide, it'll do even better.So this one is like, kind of, I guess they say plant forward, which I read as vegetarian, but I guess they probably have some meat in there somewhere. Maybe they do. I'm a little bit deeper. I'm not a vegetarian, but Hey, you know, everybody wants to go out to eat how they want to. But, uh, interestingly, they acquired this company called spice food and this company looks pretty interesting.They're basically like a robotic powered restaurant system. So you're kind of getting a technology angle on a restaurant chain and given what bros did given what Portillo's did even, uh, F w R G, which is some, you know, breakfast restaurant that I'd never heard of a chain has done, you know, did well off of its date, IPO debut.So these guys are article last week that robot sales like industrial robot sales are at an all time high. I didn't see that. And that, and that kind of makes me feel like this is in alignment with some of the trending topics in the market right now. Okay. So the rebounding out of COVID revenues up 50%, I mean the revenue numbers mean nothing.We've talked about this before. If you're going to compare how a restaurant did for any P you know, the last six months, nine months, 39 weeks, whatever, uh, to the year before we're still making comparisons to. And I just kind of have to throw those out the window, uh, negative cashflow, net income, and operating loss.I don't love though to see that in a restaurant industry, others have been, I think a, you know, Portillo's was, you know, positive and its financials. Um, but I said, I don't want, I'm not going to miss the next chain restaurant play and, uh, bros, Portillo and F WRG. They all did well for IPO's it's 12.5 million shares.It's got healthiness to it. It's got the sort of, and although, you know, Oatley did badly today and beyond meat hasn't done well, there is still a demand for in health forward plant forward eating. And I want to give a, you know, I want to give a restaurant chain, um, you know, I'm going to stick with the trend there and try the rest of the rest.Ha ha healthy food. Alternate is not hot right now though. So, well then maybe we get a reasonable entry price on this as well. All right. That's the glass half full approach. Okay. Fair enough. KinderCare. Yeah, the main thing is just again, so KinderCare learning, um, education centers, blah blah, blah, 1500 locations reopening momentum.They make revenue. This is something this should not be allowed to be a public company. I'm sorry, just to not, no, no. Forget to forget that this should not be a for profit. Like childcare in the, in the U S is so unaffordable. And now we have companies that are going to be publicly traded. They have to answer to investors and the answer to wall street about their stock price and their, their margins and their, and China just made that move a few months ago and killed all the private.This should not, I, this I, that might not be a popular opinion, but I mean, this should not be a publicly traded company. I missed we're talking about childcare, whatever. Just tell us, tell us about the IPO. Ah, yeah. W gross profits are up 3534%, but again, we're talking about comps to lock down, so I can't count much in there.They do have positive baseline financials. So cashflow income operating profit are all positive. So it's a big company. I mean, you're talking about 1500 locations and I mean, we're a capitalist society. If our social different socialistic approach to working, you know, the private market's gonna, you know, is the only, it's our only hope of we can otherwise we're just gonna have, you know, who's going to be the educated future.I mean, I agree with you. I th but we're talking about the holistic approach. We have the socialistic approach to K through 12. It's just pre-K that people versus this is ages six to 12. So this competes with, um, with public school. Okay. Yeah, I do six to 12. I think it's a lot of like preschool and afterschool.I kind of skipped over because I just sort of like, nah, maybe this company is pissing me off next change the subject. All right. Six weeks to 12 years old. Oh, six a week. Wait. Okay. Whatever I, I w oh yeah. Yeah. We've been filling a need there. I have an 18 month year old kid and a child. And, you know, there are days when we would like to just put her in someone else's care if we found someone trustworthy.I bet. All right. Um, no, I love my daughter. I love spending time with her, but it's a lot better. Anyway, uh, Austin gold, this one is sort of like, Hmm, well maybe, uh, it's a gold exploration company in Nevada with corporate offices in Vancouver. Uh, they are revenue, which means they basically just are exploring right now.And the website is horribly lacking. Uh, it looks like something a kind of intern might build as a test project and a web development company. And for me, that's a red flag. I, uh, you know, I mean there's pages where it says like, uh, error content missing on their press releases. Uh, their investor page is basically blank.Um, and since I am a designer developer, I do find that, especially for these sort of low float under the radar IPO's unless I'm looking for it to be terrible. Uh, not having a strong, solid website is sort of like, I don't know how seriously I can take this company if, um, you know, if they don't even have an updated website, uh, I want to I'm with you.One interesting thing though, is that, uh, some people I know who have some knowledge of Nevada and gold mining said that these guys are operating before areas that they're operating in are the right areas to be operating in. Um, and the CEO just last week sold his previous company for $2.8 billion, which was it's really M resources.And he sold it at a, something like a 30, 40% premium to the share price. So Cheryl, you know, shareholders are happy with that. Uh, the float is 3 million shares, but Roth capital is not a particularly loved underwriter. Uh, they must've done something. I still haven't nailed it down, but they have sort of a reputation for screwing, uh, IPO buyers and people tend to avoid them.Um, we've also seen a lot of their, IPO's just seem to get terminally rescheduled and we're up against the clock. We, we, we got, oh, that low. We're on time. Yes. Awesome. That Hammond runs IPO warriors joins us every Monday to run through the weeks late an IPO. And we appreciate that Matt, or as a pleasure and go to the newsletter.I get the newsletter. I feel warriors.com. I'm going to start adding some more, uh, kind of featured breakdowns on individual IPOs. Um, my kind of longer-term vision is to have time to make videos, to put on there as well, to break down some of these with a little bit more in-depth analysis of the actual financials, uh, when I'm reading on Twitter, that kind of thing.So, uh, stay tuned, sign up for the newsletter. Follow me on Twitter. Thanks guys. Have a good week. All right, let's keep it going here. Our next guest has been waiting patiently backstage dog Drysdale. I've mentioned him at the top of the show. He was the CEO of Sayven ticker. CYB N a B. It's bringing him on the show.How are we doing Doug? Happy Monday. Thank you for taking time out of your day to join us here on Benzinga live. How are you doing today? I'm doing great. Thanks gentlemen. Thanks for having me today. You're welcome. So real quick, before we get started for some of our audience that may not be familiar, do you mind just giving us a quick rundown of what it is that Simon does and what the mission is there?Yeah. So Simon is a biopharmaceutical company and we're working to transform psychedelic drugs that we've known about for decades now into actual therapeutics for mental health disorders, like depression, addiction, and anxiety disorders. Got it. So last week, I know we saw some news about M C Y B 0 0 3.So that's one of your guys's PR proprietary drugs. Do you mind just overviewing that news real quick? Yeah. Last week was actually an historic week, uh, in the many decades that people have been working on trying to transform these molecules into actual therapeutics. Two pieces of data came available. One was from one of our peers that for the first time in a 200 plus patients study unequivocally proving that siliciden, which is the active ingredient that comes originally from magic mushrooms, proving that it works in depression and they're paid in helping treat people, people with depression, both the solid and robust resolve at the same time.Simon released data showing that finally after decades, we're able to completely transform this molecule and turn it into something that's actually useless as a therapeutic. The downside visceral assignment historically has been that clinic times are eight hours. So your patients are in the clinic for eight hours a day.And significant side effects and adverse events and would see why B3 we've shown that we can cut this clinic time in half and we can reduce potential for side effects like nausea and headache and other adverse events in half as well. So a major breakthrough. So essentially you're saying that so psilocybin on its own, which, which, like you mentioned, is, um, what's found in magic mushrooms has been proven to help with depression, but there've been downsides, um, to just take an oral.So psilocybin, so with CYB three, you were able to kind of address some of those downsides, um, to, to the actual psilocybin. Exactly. So we've taken psilocybin, we've made it synthetically in the lab and then we've modified it to improve the profile so that it's has a safer profile for patients and pay spend half the time in the clinic.Got it. So, so for some people out there that may have, um, some of these psychological disorder, major depression disorder, um, bipolar, and I know some of them have, have tried a lot of different things and, um, you know, different medicines on the market don't work. So, so is this something that, uh, can be seen as an alternative to helping these patients when those other medicines don't seem effective?Yeah. And once approved they have. So when you look historically back at how we treat depression, we typically use drugs called SSRS, which unlike Prozac. And when you look back over the last couple of decades, on average, a SSRI is typically I know better than placebo in patients with mild to moderate depression and many patients try two or three or more of those Sri's before running out of options.And so a CYB three now provides once it's approved another option for patients to tackle their depression and addiction and anxiety disorder. Did Doug, this has Spencer here. I want to ask you, um, about the, the headline we got late last week, and we're getting again here today about just through the Republican, a bill to legalize cannabis.Uh, I sort of grew up these two things together. I know they're not really technically the same thing, but I sort of look at, um, psychedelics as, as sort of following the cannabis lead in every respect in terms of just regulation and capital markets. Um, I'm wondering if, if, if the move by, by the GOP, if that has sort of changed your, um, changed the, the, the equation at all for a psychedelic regulation at large in the U S.No, not really quite different. So I see that there's a general sentiment change towards looking at these alternative types of treatments and that's all positive. We're looking at drug development that needs to go through the FDA and we're planning studies plan that are coming up in early, early next year.Um, FDA has granted breakthrough therapy status to sub assignment. So they've indicated that this molecule was really potentially important in mental health and da just, uh, came out and said that manufacturers should be making more of these substances to allow more research to be done. So I think we're seeing very positive signs, but DEA and FDA, when it comes to turning these molecules into actual therapeutics that can be prescribed by a physician.So, so Doug is there, uh, you know, a lot of opposition from, I guess, you know, what you could call like big pharma, some of the producers of these SSRS that see, uh, this field as maybe something that's emerging as a competitor to them. So are there, are they, do you see that opposition for big pharma? No. I think the big pharma will see this as an opportunity.When you look across the big pharma space, many of their psychic psychiatry departments have gone over the years. They've become neurology departments. And so there's really been very little innovation in psychiatry in maybe 30 years. So when you look at the total addressable market of all these indications that psychedelic companies are working towards, it's around $300 billion annually.So I think the big pharma will absolutely be interested in this is a space where there's been very little innovation for separately. So Doug for Simon. I mean, I, you know, the namesake comes from psilocybin and mushrooms, but I understand that you're working on other drugs as well. Which other, uh, you know, drugs are you working with outside of psilocybin?Yes. We're working on some other molecules that are related. Uh, these molecules are called tryptamines, which are all like serotonin, which is a naturally occurring. You're a transmitter in your brain. As we're working on some other tryptamines for anxiety disorders. We're also working on a range of molecules called phenethyl means.And these are molecules that are related to MGMA or masculine that might help with PTSD in the future. So we have about 50 molecules in our library currently, and we're taking our lead two candidates into the clinic very shortly. Wow. So, so for investors, you know, our, our, our audience here is mostly retail investors some day traders.What could they be looking out for just in the end, not with cyber in particularly, but just in the industry as a whole, like, are we so early stage that maybe, um, you know, we continue to see some of these names get beaten down or do you think it'll be pretty quickly once we start seeing, okay. People are really noticing that, Hey, look in the psychedelic space, this has actual value and potential, and we can see those investors start coming.Yeah, there has been a bit of a rush over the last couple of years, companies rushing into this space. Uh, but I think we're moving from a period of news to a period of Qaeda. So Simon was one of the first companies sort of the state of this last week. And I think those data points will start to really separate companies from each other and differentiate them.So look out for data. That's coming out of clinical studies over the next six to 12 months, and that'll reset some of these companies apart, I think from some earliest stage organizations that are not quite up to speed yet. Good question here from our chat. Um, how does the FDA's new designation for, for a Simon's work, uh, affect the timeline for commercialization?This is from solar up. Yeah, potentially the breakthrough therapy status, uh, could accelerate the timeline to, to commercialization. There's two things really, uh, the first is that, uh, FDA provides a rolling review. And that just means that they're looking at the data that you submit in real time, not, not in lumps at certain time points, and that's much more efficient.You also get to collaborate with that day and ask questions, which means that instead of guessing what they're looking for, you can take advice on what they're looking for. And typically we breakthrough therapy status to FDA requires perhaps just one phase three study, which are the big expensive studies rather than two.So that can save time and cost of coming to market as well. Got it. So do you have any like ballpark timeline on when you hope to get some of these drugs through the pipeline that the approval? Yeah, so unfortunately drug development is quite slow. Um, but for a reason, the good regaining payments have to be, have to be safe and they have to be tested well so that they can be prescribed for patients.So from where we are today, we're looking at those kind of four to five-year timeframe, still to get through those major critical studies with the first one kicking off in early 20, 22. And then from Brando, likewise, with cannabis or as well as what happened to cannabis, do you foresee it being a case of we get a medical first and recreation and then, and then later on some states doing both at the same time, or, yeah, I don't think so.These are very much going down the pharmaceutical route. And the concept here is that they will be given under supervision or clinical setting and combined with psychotherapy. So patients will go through a period of therapy associated with the treatment, and it seems to be the combination of psychotherapy and the molecule of the drug itself that lead to these good outcomes.Uh, in some studies we've seen that four times, the effect size of SSRI is a four times greater effective at treating depression when combining the psychotherapy, uh, with the molecule. So it's hard to see with this current generation of molecules, uh, that there'll be a recreational. Okay, that makes sense.So, Doug, have you seen a big shift over the last couple of years, just in sentiment regarding, uh, some of these drugs becoming, you know, uh, like viable treatments, because I'm sure, you know, five years ago there would be doctors that scoffed and said, oh, this isn't real medicine, et cetera, but now it seems like more and more people are taking this field seriously.And it's not just doctors. I mean, first of all, psychiatrists are typically fairly open-minded about trying new treatments for their patients, but then you add in the FDA and the DEA throwing their support behind this work. And then also major chip biotech funds. Many of which have invested in Simon are really getting behind this as well.And when you start to see the smart money getting into the space and we know that there's real potential. Got it. So I think one of the, you mentioned that in the last 30 years there hasn't been that much, uh, you know, development or improvement in psychiatric care. Um, and I think one of the problems is that a lot of doctors, you know, see it as, okay, I'm going to prescribe someone, uh, you know, this SSRI and that should help alleviate the symptoms or help solve the problem.But, um, you know, oftentimes a lot of psychiatrists talk about some more holistic measures on top of the medicine. Uh you know, looking at some of these other holistic, you know, things people can do to improve their mental health outside of the drug, or is it simply, um, you're just trying to develop this molecule that you think will be a better.Well, it sounds for the molecule. Let's make sure that these molecules are, have realistic duration that can be scalable and let's make sure they're safe and well tolerated. So we minimize the side effects, but you also want to make sure given the nature of these molecules that they're given in a safe environment.So we've created a psychotherapy program called embark. It takes in six domains of best practice, like a therapy. And we using that to train therapists that will apply to therapy in our clinical trials. And we're making that open source. So therapists can get trained. They want to do that, but also to make sure that we're applying it's like therapy in a consistent way and putting patients in a safe environment.Yeah. I was just curious if that was part of the, I guess quote unquote treatment plan is like, okay, we'll, we'll get, um, this patient on say C Y C Y B3, but that patient should also be getting, I don't know, X amount of hours of sleep a week or exercise, you know, having the other things that help factor into someone's mental health outside of just what drugs they're taking.Yeah, of course. I mean, exercise, eating well, getting good sleep are all good contributors to mental health. When we look back at some of the academic studies that have been performed using psychedelic drugs, uh, those that have reduced or eliminated the psychotherapy have been shown to be less effective.So really does seem to be a combination of the psychotherapy and the drug together. So it forms a kind of a package that helps people overcome the trauma. That's underlying that depression, all. So Doug, what drew you to this industry? I mean, do you have more of a psychiatric background or more of a chemistry background?You know, how did you get here? Yeah, I started out my career in a lab, uh, but I've been in, in, uh, pharmaceuticals in the healthcare industry for 30 years. So I've been developing drugs for, for that time. And, uh, you know, like most of us, you guys too, I'm sure we all know someone in a loved one, family, friends has been affected by depression or addiction.It's tragic as soon as it's all around us. So in 30 years of drug development, I don't think I've had an opportunity in that time to help as many people in such a profound way as we can with the psychedelics. So, so our mission to really turn these into therapeutics once and for all. So, but do you have anything that drew you particularly to psychedelics or was it just that you identified that, Hey, this is a good opportunity here to maybe help tackle some of these problems once and for all the truly groundbreaking.I mean, I can set, I have family and friends have been deeply impacted by this and to be able to combine your work with helping the people that you love is never a bad thing. And it's red, you see data like we see with psychedelics and how profound the effect can be. Literally patients who have spent years of addiction walking away from a psychedelic session and free from those addictive cravings for weeks or months at a time from just one session.I not seen anything like that in my career. So this is an enormous. Got it. Well, Doug, thank you for coming on the show today, we will have to get you back on as Sabin announces more data and news. Um, I know a lot of us here at Benzinga are kind of, you know, following this industry closely and very fascinated by the, um, you know, the progress that has been made so far.Uh, so Doug, thank you again for coming on. Thanks for having me guys. Um, all right. It's one. O'clock we're going to have our next guest on, in his second before I bring them on, though. Uh, AB did you see what Luminari is doing today? L a Z R L a Z R. We had them on the show on Friday and we're up 11% today.Let's go. I'm not saying Benzinga is why Luminari is up 11% today, but I'm also not saying ending is not why. Yeah. I've heard some kids on the street are calling the Benzinga bump. Um, oh, I thought that's something different.I got both errands to live for that one. Oh man. All right. Well, I, I don't even know how to follow that up, so I'm just gonna bring my man Jake on the stream. Jake, how we doing? Hey, how are ya? Thanks for asking what's up. Jake? Who Jasick from trend spider. Jake. I thought of you this morning because we're talking about Grogan and I know that's one of your favorites.So I'm sure you're happy today. I do like it. Yeah. Now I have it as a long-term investment. It's not something I actively trade, so I just keep dollar cost averaging in, but yeah, definitely a nice day kind of a weird market out there. Honestly, got a lot of, uh, what I like to call Christmas colors in the watchlist.You don't really have, you know, a lot of green, a lot of red, it's just kind of just every other stock I have in the watch list is either red or green. So getting the Christmas color vibe there right now, but definitely kind of weird with, with spy is a weekly candle from last week. That's something that does have me a little cautious.I do kind of lighten, lighten some of my positions today. It was a definitely a huge week for me last week in the trading arena. So I definitely don't want to be giving back profits. So, um, I did lighten things up. I still, I think marijuana is probably just getting started, but you know, uh, we have to kind of look at the broad markets before we look at individual names too much.And, and yeah, so with, with spy, I'd really want to, to get above last, week's hide for this to be a little bit of a more risk on sentiment, but Bitcoin is, well, you have this weird pump last night, and now all of a sudden you're back to where we started. So just kind of a weird market. It is OPEX this week.So that's something to keep in mind. Uh, Yeah. So that's, yeah, I'm not in any options positions this week, uh, for that reason, just you, you have some crazy mo

We are back at it, wine and down the end of the week, another dreary to Detroit day here behind me. I hope everybody's got a little bit more sunshine than we do. It's also very cold. I'm now wearing a light jacket in the morning, but what's going on guys.Market is ripping again. We are back to where we were before that Monday sell off, you buy the dippers out there. All of you by the dippers. I was not wanting. Congratulations to you. Round of applause, pat yourself on the back, you won a game. Uh, you know, I'm going to go ahead. Let's just look at this, this chart aspire really quick for a second, and we're going to zoom it out to a year and then we'll go to five years.Uh here's the one year chart is by, by the day. Tried and true. Uh, here's a two-year charter spy by the dip tried and true five years. All right. I guess at the, by the dippers, just always seem to win this one. Uh, but what's going on guys? This is the power hour. This is the trade idea show. That's why we spend this time together every single day.So if we are not delivering on ideas, call us out. You are empowered to do that in the chat. We're going to get rocking and rolling. Uh, first op we're bringing in Daniel from Curzio reading. Good. Good, good friend to Frank over there. Uh, and Daniel's going to be dropping some ideas on us. He's gonna be talking about the China situation a little bit, I believe.Uh, and then we, we have three public company CEO interviews today. Jam pack guys. Okay. Three public company's CEO interviews. A lot of them may be stocks that you're not familiar with. I'll give you the tickers there. S T a B N G T F and S O V O. Uh, so, so again, S T a B N G T F S O V O a, but without further ado guys, uh, let's go ahead and bring Daniel from Curzio research in there.And when you, if you have takers, drop them in the chat, uh, I see, et cetera, ETCs already go and he's got his affirm on there. He's got his hymns on there. Um, and, and, yeah, let's get these in here. Solar ops. We're talking about the cannabis. I am not in any of the cannabis stocks now, but, but, but maybe I ought to be, but let's ask Daniel, Daniel, are you in any of the cannabis names?Um, not right now. No, but, uh, they've been coming across the headlines a lot. And first of all, thanks, thanks for having me great to be here. Um, but if I were to look at something in full disclosure, I don't have it and I've been kicking myself, but , uh, if you want to pull that up, there are basically a roll-up company that does a medical marijuana and the facilities that they're going to use to produce and grow and distribute.And that's char has been absolutely beautiful from an investor standpoint. Five-year chart. Yep. And, uh, those guys, uh, I believe it's wall street guys that just got together and man, they they've just been knocking it out of the park. So that's the one that I would look at first, other than the big names Tilray and those et cetera.But man, a friend of mine gave me that under a hundred and I just kept thinking, all right, I'll wait and wait and wait. And, uh, that's, that's frustrating, but that's investing that's okay. Uh, and, and Daniel, but before we hop into it, uh, give me a little bit of your background. Tell us, tell us about your trading investing career.Um, and then let's dive into some time. Absolutely. So I joined a Frank Curzio here at Curzio research. Uh, coming up on four years. It'll be four years this October next month. And my background before that was, I started in the brokerage business as a financial advisor, uh, had series seven and 66. Then didn't enjoy that.I like the research side, but not the front office standpoint. They believer in savings and investing. And on the saving side, I'm big into whole life insurance as a, as a wealth management tool. I know that raises a lot of red flags and always gets a good conversation started, but that's for another time, I can argue that until I'm blue in the face.And, uh, then when I was listening to Frank's podcast and following him through his career, and when he said that he was starting his own shop and wanted an analyst, I threw my hat in the ring and here we are going on four years. Uh, and give it, give us the short insurance pitch. The short insurance pitch is if you're disciplined enough to say, if you compare a whole life insurance policy to a bank account, there's no other product out there that is quote unquote as safe and reliable.And it gives you the opportunity to earn interest as you use your money. And there's a big difference between the interest you earn and the interest you pay with the flexibility on that. It's a fantastic wealth building opportunity over the long term. It's not a trading deal. Uh, if you're, if you're old right now and I don't mean to be rude about that, uh, that's what, you know, everybody thinks they're too old for everything these days, but, uh, if you're anywhere under, I'd say 50, you ought to really give it a look and most policies are set up.In favor of the insurance company, meaning higher commissions, and you can split those premiums up and infinite banking process. If you Google that, you'll, you'll see a lot of good stuff. Uh, infinite banking by, uh, Nelson Nash. I believe I'll tell my head as a great book to dig into. All right, there we go.And if anybody has a question about the insurance side, dropped them. And I'll pass it along to Daniel, but all right. Let, let, let, let's get back to the stock side. What what's on your radar right now? What are you thinking about? We, you, you gave us a cannabis name to look at already, but, but what else?Yeah. And that was driven by, uh, you know, if you, you guys are all market junkies. So as you're looking at headlines and everything, uh, the biggest lesson that I'm learning and, you know, I don't have a crystal ball or anything, but you gotta be able to decipher. News to act on and what to ignore. And when you just, when your market junkies and you see a lot of things coming across your desk or your eyes, uh, in my opinion, headlines around pot stocks kind of went away and now they're coming back and I say, they're coming back over the last month, at least in my opinion.So, uh, and that's driven politically, uh, there's a lot of headlines about, um, there's a group of. I think there's a bill in the house or the Senate. I'm sorry, I don't, I'm on the fence there about protecting banks that do business with, uh, pot stocks, because that's a big red flag right now. Cause you still have this illegal NIS at a certain level.I mean, it's kind of scary to think about, Hey, the feds can basically go in and shut anything down, but we're not going to. So we're in this process of, Hey, this is a law, but we're going to ignore that. Uh, we see a lot of that with politicians on both sides of the aisle. So that's not anything new. That's, you know, I look through the world from a political and economic lens.Uh, I think everybody should do that because it literally affects everything in our lives, in reality, as consumers and individuals. Okay. Alright. And I'll, I'll draw, I'll throw mine in the ring too. I'm going to throw in the, the one that everybody thinks about, but till Ray, uh, Erwin Simon, CEO of Tilray founder of Hain, celestial, good friend of Benzinga.Um, I, I, he he's, I followed his career for quite a while and he's just such an incredible operator. Um, and, and so if I had to pick one, I'm picking the track record of, of, of his, on the management side and that's where Tilray would be my plate. And that's great because you want to focus on individuals. I mean, when you, when you don't have an investment that you can control, so it's not close to the vest you want to invest in management teams.Um, Frank talks a lot about that with, especially in the resource sector, you want proven management teams, you want skin in the game. So if that gentleman and you know him like that, that that's a, that's a check mark on the, on the good side for the teacher. Yeah, absolutely. All right. Well, what else is on your mind?You know, Yeah, we'll go from a boring to exciting. So low-hanging fruit. Uh, Intel has dropped the ball for a number of years. They've let you know, their lunch has been eaten by their competitors. They have a new CEO and I'm going to butcher this, but pat gins learner, and he just took over in February of this year.And I think that this is a situation where you can buy it and forget about it. I have a little bit of a full disclosure. You earn a decent yield. And I think that as there's more volatility in the markets, and if you see this transition from growth to value, like everybody's warning about or volatility, you're going to go into hard brand names, solid brand names with good balance sheets.And they. Just have to quit screwing up all the time, in my opinion, to get a higher price, uh, the new CEO's got big ambitions. That's what I like to see either. They're going to invest a lot in fab centers, uh, semiconductor buildings over the next several years. And that's a huge secular bull market.That's not going away anytime soon. So Intel, if it's not exciting, But I do think that that's the lowest hanging fruit out there on a, on one of the big, yeah. And looking at some of the multiples really quick. I mean, it seems like a pretty cheap stock. So we're looking at a forward PE ratio of 12. Um, I don't have the S and P 500 handy, average handy off the top of my head.Right. At least in the twenties, uh, and then a price to sales, a 2.8 versus that one I know S and P average is, is a little bit over four. So, so it definitely seems like a relatively cheap stock. Yeah. And you can argue, I mean, the, the lower PE uh, forward P against its peers is warranted right now, because again, they've been dropping the ball so many times, so this new CEO starts to get some momentum, starts to prove that they can show results.I think that you can see that P rice faster than the actual results in reality. Markets are always forward-looking and that's exciting. That can be good or bad, but again, you get a few, uh, you get a few check marks on this guy's side, and I think it could just take off and easily be, you know, 20, 25% and then kind of find that new normal and hang out there for awhile.And again, you get paid to wait and are you really worried about Intel going bankrupt? I'm not, but you know, that's a good, that's a good hiding spot. And I don't think it's going to be dead money going from. Yeah. And check this out guys. I, I just, I just want it up an income statement really quickly. Uh, you know, th this, this top number that we have here that I'm trying to highlight, uh, th th this is quarterly revenue, and I mean, we're looking at like five quarters in a row with.Literally no growth. Um, you know, we, we zoom it out to annual revenue and we're getting a little bit of growth there. Um, but, but not, not crazy exciting. I think that's what Daniel's referring to. Yep. Absolutely. All right. All right. What else you said you're gonna start pouring and taking. That's boring. So a upstart U P S T is the taker and a quick, uh, are you familiar with this company at all?I am going to Lockton. Who's also a good friend of Benzing as is very, very hot on this stock. A couple of times to us it's been absolutely going crazy lately and quick, a rabbit trail here. You guys need to be going through 13 F filings. Uh, there's free websites out there and that's just great use the power of the internet.We've never lived in a better time where guys like me on 35 can take advantage of, I mean, the amount of resource we have or the amount of information we have for free right now over the internet. It's just a huge step forward and it's just blind, dumb luck that we get to live in this period. None of us picked when we got to be born in order to get some of this information at all, you'd have to go to libraries, different things.So take advantage of there's 13 S I was going through those, uh, Dan Loeb of third point. Somebody I really respect and you know, like to listen to anything he writes or says and read anything he writes. So I just saw this in a filing and I just went through ticker symbols. Um, they're in a major growth platform where the banking and financial services are using a lot of AI.They have been for some time, but it's getting a lot of capital to flow into that space right now. So they do personal loans, consumer loans, and they basically go in and show banks, Hey, we can show you how to make more loans with a. Risk tolerance and a lower default rate. And why wouldn't you pursue that or look into that if you're a bank and that's a scalable business with all the loans and trillions of dollars out there.And as you can tell, I would wait for a pullback. This is definitely a momentum stock. Uh, we were just talking about, uh, PEs with, uh, Intel. I don't know what it is off the top of my head, but it's gotta be through the roof on. All right. And, and I want to throw this one out to the chat to, uh, is anybody in this Docker to anybody get into the stock from the show?Because when we first talked about it, it was in the seventies somewhere. I, this is the first time I've looked at it in a wild scene, three 40. I, I clearly missed the boat. Uh, but, but I'm curious if anybody out there caught the rip in this one. And so, so Daniel, I like, I like what you're picking up on it that you want to wait for for some of that pullback and.Let's let the momentum co come to a close, um, with the model like you're saying is so good. It's so reoccurring too, right. Is once a bank becomes dependent on upstart for, for lending and being like a core part of that engine is as to how they're pricing and deciding who to lend to. I would imagine that that's impossible, damn near impossible for these banks to rip out of their operations.Yeah, absolutely. It's, it's a sticky product and it's scalable. So as an investor, that's a great thing to have. So, you know, be, be prepared for volatility. Um, I, quick story. I told my dad about this around $95 a share, and I said I was buying it and I didn't. And he did, and I wasn't lying to him and it went.50 or whatever. And now look at where it is. He didn't sell it. So he's very happy. But of course I was kicking myself. I think I bought a gold stock or whatever, which I'm still down on. Uh, but I said, Hey, you need to buy this. I should buy this, but I'm going over here. And he did. So that's good. All right guys, and check out the quarterly revenue on this one.We're looking at four quarters of data right here on upstart again, sticker U P S T. We went from $51 million of sales to $194 million of. In four quarters. That's I don't know if there's other public company that operates at this scale that, that that's had that kind of growth. I mean, that's, that would be, if somebody out there wants to go run a quick stock screen, so set maybe market cap threshold somewhere, uh, or, or may set a revenue threshold outlet, like 50, a hundred million dollars and see if any other companies have this kind of growth.I, I would imagine that that there's not one. All right. So, so you're making it more exciting. Do you have a third one for us? Yeah. Along the same lines with the financial platform online platform, a sofa Jeffrey's just came out with initiation yesterday. I've been watching this. It's been volatile as well, and they put a PR $25 price tag it, price target on.If I, uh, if I remember correctly, which is damn near 50% upside from current levels. Well, depending on what it's doing right now today, but. You have a lot of money flowing into this space. It just makes sense from a standpoint and hell their name is on that, a beautiful new, however, billion dollars. It took to build that a football stadium out in California.Yeah. That, that, that, that was definitely an expensive sponsorship. I guarantee that. Yeah, I see, I see I'm using my trusty Benzinga pro here, looking at the recent analyst price targets. Uh, you know, I see the Jeffries yesterday that you mentioned at 25 Mizuho out there at 20. And then the, the low of the street credit Suisse came out about two weeks ago at 16 and a half.Um, and, and, and so, so BA basically, uh, is, is the thesis on this one? Daniel it's it's right. Space, right stock within that space. Yeah, absolutely. It's just, it's more of a momentum play. Uh, I liked the idea in general, but it's just when you have massive amounts of money flowing into that and strong brand types, uh, those are great for trading opportunities and then they can turn into long-term holdings.Okay. Yeah. And I'm zooming into a five day chart right now. So it's what we're looking at. I believe our five minute candles, let me get a, from a 10 minute candles, five day chart. Um, and, and we, we definitely see that rip higher with the market yesterday, uh, in, in tack down another 2% so far today. So, so, and let me throw this one out here, but I definitely see this symbol come up if anybody has long.So if I take her S O F I give me the one in the chat, if not give me the two, I want to get a sense of where the crowd is at on the. Uh, I I'm not in so far, but I do own a couple of the online brokerages. Um, one that I'm getting hammered in right now, uh, I've trimmed the position, but still have a little bit of a position in his tiger.Ticker T I G R a. It's like, like the Robin hood of China, Singapore, et cetera. Um, wow. We have a lot of Sophie owners in the chat check this out. Okay. So a lot of people who like sofa, I can get behind that. All right. Okay. All right. Daniel, anything else for us before we gotta hop? Uh, yeah, if you want to have a fun, uh, political pick a Smith and Wesson brands, uh, they're a pure play on fire symbol on that one.S WPI. Thank you. You can see, we impressed. So that was the first you're you're on stock number four, and I knew the first three. Okay. There you go. All right. SWB. So that massive spike there was after an earnings release, uh, they've recently, uh, I think right around the first of this month, September, they did their quarterly earnings, but that massive spike there, that what you can see on the chart is they blew out the numbers on the earnings release.And then it looks like the Reddit crowd got involved because look at that massive sky high, I mean, that thing just went parabolic for several trading days. Uh, this is a pure play on firearm. I know that's a touchy subject politically, but when you look at the numbers, the FBI background checks and things are falling year over year because of the strong, strong comps that they're compared to during the riots and the 2020 and all that kind of thing.But 50% of new gun buyers are women. Um, everybody I'm a small town guy. I grew up around firearms. So I'm biased as everybody else is, but I'm biased towards them. This is a company with no debt. They are. In a position to continue raising their dividend. Uh, it's not impressive. It's not a high yielding thing, but they are buying back stock as well.And you have a solid company with an amazing brand name and you have a product that people are, um, you know, it's, they have a huge demand for their products right now, their backlogs or their inventories about an eight weeks, which is kind of where they want to management. They're going to have issues along with everybody else with supply chains.When you get a great business in a fantastic financial shape and a well-known brand, um, that's, that's a good one right there. So, and it's got a decent short interest. So that, that spike that you see on the chart that could easily happen again. Alright. I like it. It's interesting. I have, uh, let me throw this edgy Daniel, then we're going to have to hop in a minute here, but here here's my take on the gun stocks is I feel like literally always, or at least.Once a year for the last 10 years, there's like a shortage. And like, there just becomes this narrative, all of a sudden that there's a shortage on guns or there's a shortage on ammunition. And then just a ton of energy pops into these stocks. And you know what I mean? It's it, it just seems like, uh, like, I don't know, like I'm sick, I'm bored of the narrative.Yeah, it does. I mean, and you're right. That does happen. I will tell you the biggest risk I see. This is, and why I think you have some short interest is you have such a political movement and like your major funds and investment companies like BlackRock and those, they have, they kind of shun these kinds of stocks.So you have a great business. You have high profit margins, but what's going to be. The big guys from flowing more money into these stocks is political reasons. That's your biggest risk in my opinion, but yeah, you're right. They, they get hot. They could be used as tradable securities. So that would work out for your listeners, but I wouldn't feel bad about buying and holding this either, but yeah, if you want to trade the pops and, uh, you know, sell on the rips and buy on the dips, that's a great idea.Right? Alrighty, Danielle, I appreciate you hopping on with us. How can folks stay in touch? Where should they go? What should they check out? Yeah. Uh, my email isDaniel@curzioresearch.com. Be sure to check out Curzio research.com and our wall street unplugged podcast that we now do over Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays every single week.Alrighty. There it is. Thank you for joining us, sir, and dropping the ideas. All right. All right, guys. How was that? I see recurring theme of the chat and talk about Viacom. We will get the via, comes to your V I a C, but, but without further ado, w w we're we're going to keep the show rolling. Uh, we, we've got a nice slate of guests coming in for us today.Uh, first up CEO said, taro, biopharma, Mike Handley. I'm going to go ahead and let's bring Mike onto the. How are you doing today, sir? Thanks for that. Absolutely. Uh, and, and everyone, the stock symbol is ticker. S T a B said Sandy tango alpha Bravo, Bravo. Um, long week. Um, but, but, but my, my, I I'm one for, for a good stock symbol.You know, if, if, if a, if a company has a good ticker symbol that like automatically notches it up in my book, so maybe we could just start there for a second. Uh, why. Yeah. Interesting question though. Thanks for having me again. Yeah. Stab is a Sitara biopharma, obviously ticker symbols are a little hit and miss.Um, we were going for sta T but uh, stab is memorable. Um, and it also goes with our tagline, take a stab at stopping. Right. So, okay. We think it's more memorable than most taglines. Absolutely. No, that's great. I love it. It's like some of the ETF funds, right. I read out to them to I'm like, I don't know how you guys pick the ticker symbols, but if there's like a group or like, you know, something you survey include me in there, I haven't gotten any responses, but I love the memorable ticker symbol for sure.Absolutely. And, and, and Mike T taking a step back from the ticker symbol to the company. Uh, could you just give us a little bit of an overview on Satara for anybody out there who might not know. Yes, the terrorist, a, a company that just became public, uh, July 27th through a combination merger with Cleveland Biolabs, which was a NASDAQ listed company.I've been running a state Tara since April of last year. Um, we, uh, talked to Cleveland Biolabs synergistic platforms. So we're most looking at immunotherapies and, uh, it looked like a good combination of two companies. So we combined the two companies officially July 26. Or July 27th. Yeah. And I've been trading since then, and I've been working with circuits and getting visibility for our pipeline and we're about ready to initiate some Wade stage drug programs, uh, that we're really excited about that should help patients and deliver some new immunotherapies to the field.Excellent. And Mike, you, you, you, you mentioned, I think it was April, 2020, that, that, that, that you joined the company, is that accurate or that you've been running it. Yeah, I've been running it since April, 2020. We've done two acquisitions, um, raised or secured over a hundred million dollars in gone public.So it's been a busy what? 17 months. Yeah, no kidding. So, so, so, uh, the, the next question I have is, uh, is on background and, and I, I sort of have two pieces of it. Um, and, and you can pick the answer one, one, or both, uh, but, but either what, what was the impetus for the company? Or can you talk a little bit about your career prior, prior to.Yeah. Yeah, I'll answer both. So I've been in front of biotech for 24 years of running companies for the last 15 years. I'm very interested in the biotech space. Immunotherapy space started off at Amgen Genentech, which are the two big giants and biotech, of course, Genentech bought by Roche now, but Amgen still, uh, independent, uh, took over 17 products to market.You know, raise close to half a billion dollars and, uh, Brandon's is the terror. Like I said, April last year, they had a very interesting portfolio and uh, thought, um, this would be a great public company, a great opportunity to get some drugs, to some much needed patients, um, that don't have any other alternatives that are.Uh, so very excited about our platform, multiple shots on goal. We've got a great story and it resonates well with the street, from our interactions and our non-deal roadshow we've been doing. So we're very excited, better than current position. Okay. And I'll, I'll pick up on that roadshow comment that you made, you know, and w when you're going out to wall street and you're talking about the company, uh, you know, what, what aspect of the business is, is getting investors most.Yeah. Great question. So if you follow the biotech sector, we've seen immunotherapies just exploded in the past five years, I'll use two examples, Humira, which is a TNFL Footlocker sells about $19 billion a year. What's number one, uh, drug selling in us. And I think the world, and then you look at Keytruda.Merck's drug is a PD, one PDL, one inhibitor. It sells at 13 billion. It's also. Um, our approach to immunotherapies is a little bit different than what big pharma is doing. Those particular drugs suppress the immune system, uh, as in Humira. And they do that, um, to account for, um, uh, Crohn's disease, IVG rheumatory arthritis, and then the cancer drugs take the brakes off your immune system.So in effect, our narrative to wall street is the current immune therapies out there or. And they're generating a lot of cashflow and they're helping patients, but they also come with a large amount of side effects because you're suppressing the immune system. Um, in the one case with the Humira and other TNF, alpha blockers and the other cancer cases, you're increasing the probability of hyper inflammation in those patients.And that's been a cause and a concern and a warning for Keytruda, both great drugs, uh, both help patients, but we think there's a better way of doing immunotherapies. And that's what we're telling the street. And they're gravitating. Okay. And can you talk to us a little bit about him? Question in specifically the integration stuff.Yeah, I'm close was the second company we acquired. Um, they're a research driven company with, uh, cashflows and, uh, we're in the process right now of integrating them into our R and D platform. And they're working on our second gen, uh, immunotherapies. And we've got a couple of, uh, potential interesting candidates we're working through, but the inquest simply adds to.And, uh, we're building, I think one of the more interesting and the largest tool, like reception pipelines, um, in the U S if not the world, and that provides us with, again, a lot of shots on goal and a lot of ways to help patients. Okay. And I guess maybe taking a, a step back or a step higher than, than, than inquest specifically.Uh, but, but how do you see M and a fitting into the company's roadmap and why have you made the choice that, Hey, that that's the route that we're going to pursue to really grow. Yeah, I'm a firm believer the, uh, Biven bill, right. It's a lot of companies out there that have interesting technologies or platforms that would take me, you know, months to years to replicate the same thing and a much higher dilution to our shareholders.So, um, being opportunistic, looking at companies with the us. Uh, or complimentary or technologies that are complimentary. Um, we'll definitely use our public stock as currency. And like I said, we're well capitalized and we'll be opportunistic about what we go out and acquire, but it's definitely in the mold of our strategy going forward.So look at M and a, and be opportunistic about increasing our pipeline, both depths. Okay. And Mike, let, let, let me ask you one more question. And this one is always a tough one. Uh, but, but if you had to name one, one thing that you're most excited about, so somewhere on the roadmap, what, what would that one idea.Yeah, great question. Everybody asks me, um, obviously cancer therapies are near and dear to everybody's heart. Everybody knows a relative or friend that has cancer, and we've got some very good cancer therapies for developing an adjunctive treatment. Um, but probably the drug program I'm most excited about is our Crohn's programs.So what we've seen in phase two data is, uh, double the rate of remission in patients who take a once a day world. So current standard of character, marrow, injectable, biologic, um, you get a remission rate of in the low thirties. Um, our what our data, what we've seen is about a 67% remission rate, four weeks, once a day dosing, that is very compelling.And then the other thing I'm really excited about Crohn's is currently for pediatric Crohn's patients. There's nothing out there that, uh, Works. Well, all of that is black box warning. And as kids develop their immune system, it's really hard for them to be on these biologics, like Humira, Stelara, and Remicade.So we're running a phase three pediatric study that should kick off by the end of the year, um, in, uh, pediatric Crohn's patients. And we believe this will be a viable alternative to all the kids out there suffering from Crohn's disease. Awesome. Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to come on with us today.CEO said Tara, a ticker S T a B. And as I said, I do love that symbol and I love the memorability of it. If that's even a word, digging a stab at cancer. Awesome. Yeah. Appreciate it. Thanks for, thanks for your time. Have a good day. Absolutely. You as well. All right. All right, producer, Amy, what do you think.Love it love the company. Love the ticker. Great to have Mike on. Um, but Luke, we have an absolutely packed power hour show. Today. We brought on Daniel from wall street and unplug. We brought on my from Sitara buyout. Now it is time to bring on Sean C Sean folks and CEO of night food. Um, so without further ado, oh wait, wait, wait.Celsius is a hundred bucks. No way. Wait, did we ever get the video of Jonah shock? He said, he said he was going to shut you down. He did it leap and you're sleeping on Celsius. Sorry. Um, yeah. And then you also saw the news that Jonah said a Celsius is sending us some, some drinks to Florida for the conference.Yeah. Guys, if you want to come hang out with me and producer a B in journal up them and put the link in the chat, come say, hi, it's going to be about. That's really the only thing that's keeping me going at this point. So there you go. It will be a good time. Um, all right, Luke. Well, without further ado, I'm going to go ahead and bring Sean folks in on the show.Sean CEO of night food. Thank you for joining us on the Benzinga power hour. How are you doing on this beautiful Thursday? Great. My pleasure. Happy to be here. Great to have you, um, before we get started, do you mind just giving some, uh, background on the company for maybe some of our audience that may not be familiar?Sure. So across the country, On any given night, you've got over a hundred million people that are snacking in between dinner and bed. Uh, the most popular choices tend to be things that are loaded with excess fat, excess sugar, excess calories. Cause that's what we're hard wired to create. So you've got all these snacks being consumed, and they're not only unhealthy, but they're actually disruptive to sleep.When you eat the wrong things before bed, it can impair your sleep quality. So knowing that so many people are snacking at night on a regular basis, what night food does is we deliver healthier snack options that are specifically formulated to satisfy those nighttime cravings, but do it in a better, healthier, and more sleep friendly.There's plenty of companies out there over the last 10 or 15 years that have launched and had a lot of success with better for you snacks, which are generally healthier in terms of, you know, protein content or sugar content or caloric content, but only night food has looked at. Knowing that people are snacking within that hour or two before bed, what should we be putting in our bodies and what shouldn't we be putting in our bodies to make sure that we get the best night of sleep and sleep is becoming more and more of a challenge for a lot of people, uh, especially now with COVID.So we think the timing is great, and we think there's a billion dollar category to be had here in the category of nighttime. So is this something, I guess that took a lot of, you know, scientific research on, on night foods and to figure out like what it is specifically about, um, you know, what's in typical ice cream that can disrupt someone's.Well, I mean, there's been a general consensus for quite some time, and there's been a lot of research over the years. Uh, you know, excess sugar, uh, fat and calories are problematic. Um, you know, there are certain nutrients that can be beneficial, magnesium, calcium, zinc, vitamin B6. Uh, so the research really existed.Uh, and when we launched our, our challenge was. You know, to formulate a great tasting product, uh, with all these ingredients that can satisfy those cravings in that way. So, uh, really we stood on the shoulders of the existing research, which was out there. And it's really interesting because with so much snacking already happening at night.See, this is, this is not a behavior. That's, uh, it's not a trend. It's not a fad. This is how humans are wired. We're wired to crave these things at night, so it's not going away. So there was a lot of talk and a lot of research before we launched, but nobody had ever launched a product into the category, which we thought was really interesting.Now we've got Nestle, we've got Unilever, we've got Pepsi. They're all talking publicly about this category. Um, but, but we're the only ones operating in it. And so the challenge for us was not really to figure out what our snacks should be. An ice cream is the first, you know, what they should contain. It's more about really educating the.Got it. Yeah. And I mean, it sounds like, I don't know if it's fair to say, but you're kind of, um, you know, hacking the human, like hardwiring of wanting to crave these things, but then we, you can eat these things, but in it, and it tastes like what we're craving, but it doesn't have those kinds of detrimental effects on sleep.Is that. Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, you know, th the reason we crave these types of things at night is because putting extra fuel inside your tank before fasting is a survival mechanism that really served well, you know, the caveman ancestors, uh, you know, if, if they didn't have the resources, if they didn't store excess fuel inside their body, in the form of calories, they were less likely to survive.And specifically before the nighttime fast, that's when those cravings, that's why appetite peaks. Um, so yeah, what we're trying to do is, um, make sure that, that when you do give into those cravings and most people do that, you're doing it in a way that's beneficial and not detrimental. Got it. Um, so real quick on the business side, um, I understand.Uh, you know, you guys do a lot of I'm on the website right now, a lot of direct to consumer. Um, I see, you know, shipping is only 6 95 for an eight, eight pint order, but what about all on the B2B side, on the business to business side? Uh, you know, where does night food stand as far as with partnerships with, uh, you know, places like hotels and chains like that?Yes. So, so from a retail distribution perspective, we're in divisions of Albertsons we're in, uh, almost a thousand Walmart stores across the country. And other supermarkets and we're expecting to add quite a few more supermarket chains, uh, in the spring. You know, those meetings that are going on right now and things are being finalized, but the real cab.And what's going to be happening in the next few weeks and months is the hotel launch. So we were making a big push into hotels prior to COVID and then obviously COVID slowed things down quite a bit, but, uh, in the hotel environment, you know, everybody's been in the supermarket and you see there's there's six or eight doors of ice cream.There could literally be hundreds and hundreds of different varieties, different skews in there in the hotel environment, you've got a consumer that's typically purchasing for more immediate consumption. Our packaging, as you can see there says sleep friendly right on the front. We sell very well in the hotel environment in the past, we've sold pint for pint with Ben and Jerry's pint for pint with hogs.And we got contacted, uh, late last year. One of the leading global hotel brands just conducted and completed a test of night food in several of their hotels. And the test went very well. And what that's going to lead to is a national rollout of the ice. And what we believe also could be the ability to very quickly introduce additional product formats into that hotel environment.So the product sells very well. There, it's a great opportunity to capture high margin businesses, much more profitable than the supermarkets, but it's also really supportive. Of the supermarket distribution. Uh, we've seen, um, we've seen RX bar get into gyms and use that gym distribution to support their supermarket rollout.And then they sold to Kellogg's for $600 million a couple of years ago, Oatley also, which just IPO a few months ago, they very publicly stated their strategy is to roll into coffee shops. They've got to deal with Starbucks. Consumers will interface with the brand in that environment. And that will build trust that build awareness, and then the consumers run into the supermarket and start buying the product.So we think the hotel piece, obviously it's going to be great revenue contribution, great profit contribution, uh, but also really, really supportive of our supermarket expects. Yeah, that that's good insight there as to how you can kind of raise brand awareness through some of these, uh, B2B deals and that way, um, you know, bolstered the, the B2C sales as well.Um, so, so you mentioned some other of the big ice cream players out there. Um, do you see Knight food as a potential, like takeover target down the line? Uh, I do. I think it's, I think it's going to be inevitable. I think we're going to force their hands. You know, uh, when you think about it, Nestle and Unilever are the two largest out there, and they've both publicly expressed interest in this category.And, you know, especially being in the hotel vertical, it's really going to cement us as, as the category king and the category leader, you know, we've seen five-hour energy still sells over well, over 80% of the energy shots in the country. You know, every, everybody in the energy drink business just about has launched a shot and five-hour.Just swats them away. And I think, you know, if we play our cards, right, the same thing will happen in the nighttime nutrition space. And specifically being in the hotels makes it really hard for somebody to come in and try to outflank us. It's a lot easier to do if you're relying strictly on supermarket distribution, there's a lot more opportunity for the big players to come in and try to push us around.But in that hotel space, I think it's really going to insulate us quite a bit. Um, it's also going to really accelerate. Um, our growth curves so that by the time anybody decides they want to get in, we're going to be running out with really tremendous revenue growth as we scale into the hotels. And, you know, even if the first company decides they're going to try to launch against.Then what is the second company going to do? Are they going to play for third place? Are they going to try to require, uh, the category pioneer? So, um, I do think it's inevitable. Uh, you know, we've got some revenue targets that, you know, when we hit those, everybody's going to have to decide how are they going to.One thing. I didn't mention almost half of all snacking takes place at night. This is not a small niche. This is not five or 10%. This is almost half of all snacking. And it's not just Unilever and Nestle. Everybody knows about this Mon delays and Kellogg's, and Hershey's any company that's in the snack space.They know when the Oreos and the Doritos and the Ben and Jerry's are being eaten. And once we show that consumers are wanting and willing to make a small change in order to support better quality. Right, which is an easy jump for any consumer to make. Once these big companies realize that, then they know that the whole landscape of the snack category is going to change.You're talking about almost half of all snacking up for grabs. When all these cookies, chips, candy and ice cream are being consumed between dinner and bed. I don't think they're going to be able to lay off. I think we're going to be fielding. I mean, we've already been contacted by some of the companies, um, at least one of them that I mentioned on this call or.Um, I think the phone's going to start ringing once we start to really scale our revenues coming up. Got it. Yeah. That's exciting. I guess a, you know, a follow up question on that would be, how would you, uh, you know, quote unquote, you know, force their hands, as you said, you know, like what's to stop, you know, Unilever or, you know, uh, Ben and Jerry's whoever it is from going out and trying to develop their own sleep friendly.They could certainly do that. It's really not the way things are done. I mean, there was nothing stopping Kellogg's from making their own, you know, cleaner labeled bar. Uh, there was nothing stopping Hormel, which already owned Skippy, peanut butter for making their own organic brand. But no, they acquired Justin's.Um, and, and up and down the line, you know, uh, it's just not the way things are done these days for them to try to launch against us when they see a category pioneering. Growing at, at, you know, an exponential growth in a category where there's obviously going to be one king and lead player acquisition is the only way to go.Um, everybody else is going to be competing for second place and they all know that. Got it. Um, all right, Sean. Well, thank you so much for joining us on the power hour. Uh, but my final question thought would be, have you ever thought about doing a 180 and maybe making a caffeinated ice cream for breakfast?No, no, I've never heard about people have said we should make day food as well as night food. But you know, you look at the NyQuil analogy, right? And yes, they, they do make DayQuil now, but, but by, by, by commanding a specific day part, Luna bars, another great example when cliff made Luna bar as a protein bar for women, people said, Hey, you know, you're, you're eliminating a portion of your audience and the same thing with Nike.Uh, back in the mid to late sixties when they launched, but there's a lot of power in that kind of focus. And by being the company about nighttime snacking, when I was half of all snacking takes. At night, there there's power in there. We don't feel that it's limiting at all. We feel that it's laser-focused and it's not only going to be, uh, be more powerful in terms of our ability to grow, but it's going to present a more powerful, uh, value proposition to, uh, investors, whether that's our, our day-to-day shareholders or ultimately other conglomerates that might choose to enter the space through acquisition.Got it. Well, Shawn, thank you again for coming on the show today. I look forward to having you on again, anytime night, food has some exciting updates or news. We'd love to have you back on to kind of, uh, you know, bring that news to her. Fantastic. Thanks for having us. I know you mentioned Celsius hitting a hundred, you know, I've been studying Celsius.Um, you know, the, the chart is amazing and you see, there was years, you know, they were cranking away and the stock didn't move and now they're really getting rewarded in the marketplace. So congratulations to John and the whole Celsius team as well. Yeah, of course. You, you, you mentioned the chart, you a trade stocks.I don't, but I, I do feel a lot of questions from investors and certainly, you know, I'm studying Celsius to see, okay, you know, what, what was going on during those years? Where were, were, wasn't moving, you know, what changed? And, and it's a really, uh, really amazing thing to look at, but now I only do it because, because I'm asked.A hundred percent of my net worth is in night food. And, uh, my, my wife and I are okay with that and my kids. And we're very excited about. There you go. Who knew, who needs diversification. All right, Sean. Thank you for joining us. We'll be in touch. We'll be in touch. We'll we'll have you on again soon.Thanks so much guys. A B I was, I was late for that. Um, but. Aye. Aye. Aye. What I want to say. It was also in the chat, which was, uh, someone who, who said this in the chat. They have very cool labeling. I feel like a, uh cause I, everyone always like, whenever you take like a marketing course, they always say, oh, labeling and packaging is so important.And I think, oh, that doesn't work on me. And then here I am. I'm like, oh yeah, they have, they have cool label. I might try that because all that stuff, if that works is done on the subconscious level. So you're not actually. Um, you know, consciously saying, oh, I'm going to buy this because it's got better packaging, but you subconsciously do, did you not?I may have missed it. So I apologize. Did you ask for, for free sample? No, I forgot to do that. I don't know if Sean can still hear us, but if you can, you can email email, I'll send you our address and we will gladly take some free samples. Um, yeah. Spencer, the only question you caught was mine about the, the morning ice cream.Hey, if they're not going to do it, that might be a whole, whole new market out there. Can they, can they, I don't know if you can ship by stream in the mail, whatever, whatever, and you missed it on the, on the website eight by eight pints. It's only $6 and 95 cents. It's a great, I was preparing, I was preparing for our health care conference negative next week.So I apologize for, but I'm here now. I'm here for our next, our next guest, which I'm excited for AB. Um, we have Todd Lachman, who is the Sovos CEO. It's very exciting. The company is IPO in today. Um, and, and we are getting fresh new public companies on the Benzinga power hour. Nowhere else. Can you go on YouTube to find content like this?So smash the like and subscribe. If you haven't already Spencer, without further ado, let's bring Todd on this. There is that guys doing great to be with you today? Yeah, Todd, I'm sure you're very busy today with Sovos IPO in. Um, are you joining us live for I'm from New York? I am joining Vive from New York.Uh, the NASDAQ tower right here. Wow. How's the day going so far busy, but great. Uh, honestly guys it's, uh, I mean, what an exciting. You know, for, uh, for so most brands we're thrilled. Uh, know, we're just thrilled for the journey ahead. It's like to tell you more about it today. And so maybe let's just start with what, what, what the company is, and then I'll, I'll get to my, my, my real questions.So look here. Well, I've been in the industry for awhile, so throughout my career, Plus year time. And in CPG, I was, you know, across brands, categories, companies, geographies. I was always struck by the fact, you know, that you've got these smaller on-trend brands growing at the expense of the largest brands in the store.Some people call them challenger brands, disruptor brands at Sovos. We call them one of a kind brands, but I, I felt that there was an opportunity to create a company specifically suited in order to. Uh, have the talent, the culture, the capabilities, the infrastructure, to build a portfolio of these, one of a kind brands.I mean, w we look specifically for brands that have tastes superiority strong, consumer affinity, high quality ingredients with a cleaner label and authenticity at their core. And that's what we have with Rayos Michelangelo's Noosa, Birch benders, fastest growing food company in the U S uh, outperforming our categories by 25 percentage points.And the journey is just. Okay. Since we were just talking about it, uh, and I didn't get to ask our last guest, I'll ask you Todd, just about packaging and labeling and branding and, and just how important on a scale, like one to 10, how important is that for you? On a scale of one to 10? I don't know if it's, uh, it's, it's really important.Um, I don't know. Let's say it's like, let's, let's say it's a, you know, a seven, eight, you know, kind of what you're talking about, but what's, what's interesting. I think it's more important, uh, for brands like ours that are premium priced high quality. The difference is so different. What's in the jar that, you know, that is the most differentiating aspect for us.The package is. But what's doubly critical. Let's take a brand like Rayez. You've got whole Italian peel tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh onions, olive oil inside that jar, slow simmered and cooked and open kettles. And you've got the market leaders with paste and added sugar and added water and canola oil. So just to kind of highlight the difference in our products versus.The difference of, uh, you know, once they're, so with us, the reason we're able to command a premium price. I mean, Rayos is three times the price of the market leader Rayos is growing at 42%. We're almost the number two brand in the category and the market leaders are flat to declining. So what's in that package is really the magic that's delighting consumers.So, is it mostly, you know, brands under the Sovos umbrella? Are they mostly, um, you know, healthier alternatives organics, um, or is that just happens to be the case with a rail? Sure. No, all our brands, we look for brands with high quality ingredients and cleaner label. Let's say Birch benders has an organic offering, a high quality ingredients.Uh, basically almond flowers, tiger, nuts, uh, you know, all sorts of high-quality ingredients in those products. We have organic, we have a keto and paleo offering keto and paleo Birch benders, pancake waffle mix, two of the fastest spinning items. Then you've got a brand like new stuff, whole milk, real fruit, north American wildflower, honey, with a proprietary process.I mean, this is a great example of guys that, you know, we're, the category is going one way. How much taste can we take out of the container? We're looking at, see how much tastes we can put into the product. And that's why consumers are flocking to new Senate's it's growing well. Well, ahead of the category, very differentiated.Oh, go ahead, Spencer, go ahead. Have you, or maybe down the line, have you guys ever sold like individual brands to maybe market. We, we have acquired we've averaged about four acquisitions a year. We have not invested in asset. We have no plans to we're building a portfolio of one of a kind brands. And quite honestly, we have, uh, you know, plans to acquire more brands in the future.Uh, Y you mentioned the term CPG consumer packaged goods. Why would a consumer package goods company IPO right now? Why. Sure. Well, I, you know, I think just speaking for Sovos brands, we're of the size, you know, the scale, the profitability level, then it's appropriate for us. We've been, uh, you know, we were founded four and a half years ago.We're a $669 million of sales growing at 31% were profitable. This is not a story where I'm saying, Hey guys, I'll be back on in five years when I am profitable. We've been profitable from a, from day one. Uh, you know, so I think at this level, and then look at it, it provides us with, uh, with the balance sheet and the infrastructure and, you know, the sort of widen the aperture to whether it's talent, acquisition, future M and a it's just, it's the perfect time, honestly, for, uh, for Sovos to become a public.Got to ask you about the Al green in the room, which is just, um, uh, the impact that, that COVID the pandemic has had and on everything, right? Uh, whether it's supply chains, whether it's labor costs, uh, whatever. However, you want to answer this question and take it, but like what, what is the impact that the last year and a half has had on your business?Sure. So. Look, I mean, I think there's a few things that, uh, if you just think from a brand perspective, we have brands that have that taste superior brands that have strong consumer affinity with the type of ingredients that we have. They have a higher propensity to stick in a household after trial. Then highly substitutable me to mainstream brands.So we have gained the amount of trial that we've gained over the past 18 months has been prolific just during this, this horrible pandemic. And if you look at a brand like ratios, our penetration is double from 5% to 9.6%. That's why the brand is growing at 42% last 52 weeks versus, you know, the. You know, flat.So, uh, you know, what we've seen is we're gaining trial of our, you know, of our premium brands and they're sticking in the, in the household clearly from a supply chain standpoint, uh, you know, just like everybody, we've had to be really nimble and tenacious and keeping our products and supply. And I'll, I'll tell you one thing we're in a year, as difficult as it was in 2018.And a company of our size. We've got vendor of the year at target and supplier of the year at whole foods. Wow. Because you know, one of our core guiding principles is obsessed with the front line. You know, we're the more time we can be focusing on our retails or on the consumers, on our frontline heroes that come to work every day to make our delicious products.Uh, I mean, that was a real, a Testament to the fact that, you know, our, our phenomenal employees are working so hard to keep our customers in. So Todd, I don't know if you have kids, but it's oftentimes hard to, uh, to pick a favorite kid, but I'm going to ask you, I'm going to ask you to do it here out of the four brands, uh, currently right now under Sovos, which one is your favorite?Or maybe what's the most popular in your own household? Yeah, I do have three kids and we always joke about which job I'm not going to ask you that question. I'll ask you, Kyle Paul and Isabel are listening today. So I will, I won't treat. But, uh, I apologize. I'm going to tell you right now that I've got four outstanding children.So those portfolio with those, with Noosa, with Birch benders, uh, it, look, you got a brand like radios. That's changing the sauce category forever in regards to whole tomato sauce, you have nuisance. Is there a category in and of itself, it tastes, tastes like yogurt. And then we couldn't be more excited that we just added Birch benders to the, uh, to the portfolio, the fastest growing frozen waffle they're a brand.We just launched it into the baking mix aisle with some Quito offerings. So, uh, for four great children in the, uh, in the Soho's portfolio. Oh, favorites. Todd, is there a product category you're not in, but you very much want to be in right now. So great. So I'd say number one, we were at about seven categories.Now. We really like the categories that we're in today. I would say I'm not going to choose a category, but I would say that there are categories adjacent to ours or close to adjacent to ours, that we also really like, we, there are other sleepy categories that are in need of disruption or are being disrupted today by other brands that we would love at some time to add to the Sovos portfolio.So, you know, Some companies are sort of attracted to the category. that? Wow, this is like the place I've got to be. I'm not going to name that area, but there's, some of those were, you know, we're sort of looking at a different direction or those categories that, that, that are right for disruption. I'll tell you a category that we entered with ratios with soup.Everything is in a can. Why can't it? The consumer gets sued. That's not an, a camp. Well, until Rayos came in with glass jar. Absolutely delicious meal and a jar consumers. Couldn't get Superdome in a jar and now they can see that great delicious soup. And it's the, now the number five soup brand and only 18 months.Uh, last one for me, you mentioned you're in a target you're in whole foods. I assume you're nationwide. If you're in both of those locations, have you considered direct to consumer model? Sure. So we, uh, we're partnering well, their customers, whether it's clicker collect and on their retailer e-commerce programs, we do sell an example of what we do sell direct today.If you go on rails.com, we have great gifting baskets. We have some super premium rails, limited reserve products. So aged balsamic, white truffle marinara. We do sell a direct some, uh, some super premium, super, super premium products on the, uh, on the, on the radio site today, as well as, as well as Birch benders.So, um, we do have some experience and, uh, in that area, but not for the, the, the main, the main products, the main products are on only in stores. Uh, the majority. Yes. Okay, cool. All right. I, I think we covered it. It's one o'clock we don't wanna take up too much of your time. It's been a busy day. We've we we've been on with Todd Lockman, the CEO of Sovos brands, ticker, S O V L IPO, like for an hour ago, actually.Um, so, uh, yeah, Todd, thanks so much for, uh, taking time out of your day to, to hop on that.

Nat also teaches the popular Roam course, Effortless Output.Nat earned his B.A. in Philosophy from Carnegie Mellon University, and has worked for companies such as Zapier, and Sumo Group. Nat co-hosts the Made You Think podcast with Neil Soni.Nat also writes a weekly newsletter called Monday Medley. Each Monday Medley has ten articles, videos, discussions, pieces of research, or other interesting finds from around the Internet, spanning a broad range of topics.In this episode Nat discusses the evolution of his newsletter. He shares his strategies on developing online courses. He also explains how to find product-market fit before launching a course or product.Highlights of the conversation include: How Nat made $300,000 from his online course What separates a mediocre newsletter from a great newsletter The differences between running a newsletter and teaching a course How Nat balances work, family, and leisure Links & Resources Shane Parrish Farnham Street Sunday Brain Food newsletter Tim Ferriss Five Bullet Friday Azeem Azhar Exponential View airr Building a Second Brain Tiago Forte Wes Bos Derek Sivers Nat Eliason's Links Effortless Output with Roam Nat's Twitter Nat's website The Monday Medley Made You Think podcast Episode TranscriptNat: [00:00:00]Build up little channels. There's a lot to be said for having one thing that drives 10 grand a month. But if you've got 20 little things that drive $500 a month, that's cool too. In some ways it's a little more resilient because if one fails, you've only lost 5% of your revenue versus if the $10,000 a month thing fails, you've lost all of your revenue.Nathan: [00:00:26]In this episode, I talked to Nat Eliason. We talk about a bunch of different things ranging from his newsletter, the course that he's running, you know, earning a crazy amount of money from the course, his thoughts on paid newsletters versus courses. Really just how he approaches life. It's kind of a meandering episode as we go through those details.I love the way that he's not trying to grow and optimize everything. And then also the way that he's taking internet money and bringing it into like tangible, real world life experiences, connection with friends, things like that. So it's a great episode. I hope you enjoy it. And, actually before we dive in, I'd love for two things.One, if you're listening to the podcast and you just clicked through from random clips or things like that, and you haven't subscribed, go ahead and subscribe in iTunes, Spotify, and, you know, wherever you listen to podcasts, really appreciate that. And then the other thing is, I realized I've never actually asked for reviews and it turns out reviews help, you know, with rankings and more people to discover the show.So I would love it if you would go on iTunes in particular. Is iTunes a thing? Apple podcasts, I guess you go on Apple podcasts in particular and subscribe and then write a review or just a rating. That'll help more people discover the show. So thanks for doing that. And let's dive into the interview.Alright, Nat, thanks for joining me.Nat: [00:01:40]Yeah. Thanks for having me, excited to be here.Nathan: [00:01:41]Why don't you just kick things off by talking a little bit about the newsletter that you have, and I'm actually curious, you know, how long ago you started.Nat: [00:01:51]Yes. So my name is Nat. Hi, in the world of newsletters, I started my newsletter, which is called the Monday Medley or often just the Medley in may of 2015, no 2016.Nathan: [00:02:08]Either way it's been awhile.Nat: [00:02:10]Yeah, it must be only 2016, cause I'm coming up on five years next week. I think it's next Monday is the five-year anniversary.So, I've been sending it out every single Monday for five years straight, which is kind of absurd. I actually, I have no idea how I haven't messed one up in that time, but here we are.Nathan: [00:02:34]At 200, what was that, 260 weeks?Nat: [00:02:37]Yeah, it would be what, 260? Yeah, three times five. So it's a lot of newsletters.Nathan: [00:02:42]That is. So what made you start the newsletter? Were there particular people you were following? And you're like, “Oh, I want to be like them.” Or was it solving a business problem for you?Nat: [00:02:52]Yeah. So I was originally following sort of the standard advice of emailing every time an article came out. And that was working fine. And this was for my personal site NatEliason.com. and I was emailing for every article, but it's like too many emails. Cause I was writing like a couple of posts a week back then, and I didn't like having to like write a specific email for each article. And it felt like there wasn't that much like extra value with being on the newsletter besides getting updates on posts, which people can do if they were just like on Feedly and subscribe to the RSS feed or whatever.So, I saw Shane Parrish start his, brain food kind of newsletter for Farnam Street. And, Tim Ferris had launched his like Five Bullet Friday, around that time too. So the Medley started as very similar to those two where it was like, you know, here's like something interesting. I read this week. Here's like a video I enjoyed just kind of like a little, link dump.And it was kind of that way for two or three years probably. And then it transitioned into kind of a different vibe where I got a lot of inspiration from Azeem Azhar and his Exponential View newsletter, which is like really, really good. And I just loved how, like, he wasn't really just sharing stuff that he found interesting.He was kind of like going in depth on each thing. And what I liked about his was I felt like a lot of the link dumpy newsletters were, they didn't feel very like high effort or very high value. And it was just like, okay, like, here's kind of like a dump of things, but you can kind of get that from Twitter or elsewhere, plus like everyone was doing it right.It wasn't that special anymore. So I was trying to think of how I can make it higher value. Azeem's was such a great model because he was like going into detail on each thing. So I shifted in that direction first, where it was like, okay, here's, you know, five, six, seven things from this week that are interesting.They're kind of like in categories. And here's like my thoughts on them, or like a bit of, a bit of summary on them, if you don't want to like go read them. So it made it a lot more detailed. and then in the last like three months, it kind of shifted again to being somewhere in between like a standalone, like news letter or like, like periodical kind of like what you would expect from a sub stack and that, like link roundups.So now when I do it, there might only be. Like two, three or four articles, pieces, whatever I'm referencing as like the jumping off points. But then I might write like 500, 3000 words about them and kind of like more of my thoughts on them, more how they tie into like broader themes of the newsletter reference things that I've shared in the past, trying to make it more of like a, like a journey through each week, instead of just like a, like a dump of information.So it's evolved a lot over the last five years. and I think it's, I think he's evolution has been good and made it like better. Yeah.Nathan: [00:06:10]And so doing it for five years, interesting to me in that, like that's a long time to show up consistently every week. has each iteration made it more fun? What are the, like, what are the things that have made it so that it's been good to show up consistently and you've stuck with it for so long.Nat: [00:06:27]I think each iteration has come from me meeting to make it fun. So like it changes each time. I get bored of it is probably the best way to put it. Right. So like I got, I got kind of bored of doing just like, Oh, here's like five things I found this week. So I was like, all right, let's try to make this a little more interesting.And then I was like writing all of this stuff about each thing, but then it was all of this work to go out and try to like find a bunch of stuff to read and write about each week. And so that was starting to feel kind of like a slog where each Monday it was like, okay, now I need to go like read articles for two hours because I didn't read enough during the week and then need to write about it.And so I was like, well, what if, what if I tried to be like, More selective and just picked a few things that were really good. Cause that was the other problem was that the talking about a breadth of things was actually encouraging reading shorter, lower quality stuff. Right. Because let's say that I've got two hours to read material for the Medley, but I feel like I need to send six, seven, eight things.I'm going to read stuff that's shorter and probably less good, just so I can like fill my quota. Versus what I like about what I'm doing now is I have good incentive to read, you know, a 30 minute or 60 minute article because I could just riff on that for the entire newsletter and it could be really good.So that's made it a lot more enjoyable to me. And I think that, like one thing that I did from the outset that has helped it stay interesting is basically not branding it around anything or not theming it. and just being like. This is whatever random stuff I'm interested in this week. Right. So, you know, one week it's going to be, it could be about like health and other week.It could be about like crypto stuff and then a week it's about marketing. And then it's about like knowledge management. I just sort of like, I mean, that's why it's called the Medley rice. It's like, whatever stuff it feels like going out this week is going out. it's probably helped with the longevity a bit too, because I think that if you have like a, a very specific niche newsletter Write or anything, right.Like you can grow really quickly, but it's also a little more replaceable. People might like get bored of that topic and move on. when you have, when you brand new rap, just like trying to send consistently interesting stuff each week, I think it's got a little bit more longevity to it. So, this worked out.Nathan: [00:08:43]Yeah, I think the same thing people often in the early days of my blog would ask why it had it around like Nathan Berry instead of, the topic, you know, and part of it is, cause I was talking about, like how to design iPhone applications at the time. That's my, my entire site or 80% of my site was about that thing.And so it could have been called, you know, iOS design weekly or, you know, whatever else it turns out I lost interest in that topic. And I moved on to other things and because it was themed around my, you know, my name, all of that, then I could just move with me and I'm sure some people dropped off. You know, some people were like looking at, and I don't care about designing web applications or Marketing, or cell phone wishing your newsletters, any of this stuff.And so they drop off, but most people, you know, stuck with me and followed that. And so I think what you're doing of having it around your name and just like, this is what I'm interested in. If you don't like it, like there's an unsubscribe button. If you do like it, you know, telephone.Nat: [00:09:40]It definitely helps. I mean, I think it makes it harder in the early days, right. Because. People people almost need like an initial thing to hook on to you from Write. Right. And so for me, a lot of that was probably around like SEO and writing about like search engine optimization and content marketing, and doing all of that.And then kind of like letting it expand from there, just like what you were talking about, right. It's like you started with iPhone app development and that was like the initial thing, but it was still under your name. And then as you expand it to other topics, some people come with you. Some people like fall off.I mean, it's kind of fun talking about a variety of things because you, you get like very different people from all walks of life or from all areas of interest who, and, following your stuff. it also creates like these funny situations where you have like a strong opinion in one area. and you're like, you do a lot of stuff in another area.So people follow you for this thing. And then you like talk about this other thing and then suddenly you get like angry emails about it. so that's one downside.Nathan: [00:10:42]Do you have a specific example or two?Nat: [00:10:45]Yeah, I'm very against like fake foods or like, I think that fake foods are just like really terrible for us or bad for the environment, bad for everything. but I, and then I have like a lot of people who've come in through the like Roam Research, personal knowledge management, productivity space. So every now and then I'll have somebody who like comes in through the Roam stuff.And then I like say something incendiary about Oatley and my newsletter. And they're like, so those are always kind of funny, but, that, that does happen every time. Right?Nathan: [00:11:20]Yeah. I could totally see that, you know, but what did they say if you're not hated by someone you're not doing anything meaningful? I don't know what it is, but.Nat: [00:11:29]My heuristic is like, if, if a, if a newsletter edition doesn't get like 0.1% of people responding, like. Disliking it or being annoyed about something, then you probably haven't said anything like that. Interesting in it. Right? Like if you're, it's something like, yeah. If you're making everybody happy, you're like not, I'm totally butchering it, butNathan: [00:11:56]Generally what we're getting at. So the takeaways we're bad at sharing quotes. I'm curious, what are some of the like, fun experience that experiences that have come from the newsletter of like either, you know, serendipity or like people you've met or opportunities that came up because of it. And we'll get into courses and revenue side of the second, butNat: [00:12:15]There's a ton, like I've made a decent number of real life friends from my newsletter. Right. and it's, it's hard to suss out whether it's like the newsletter or Twitter. I think that they like go hand in hand very closely, but I believe at least half of my real life friends are now like came in some way from being an active internet person.Right. And so that's super cool. have a lot of like, people send me really interesting stuff now each week, whenever I send out the newsletter, which is fun, and also. Kind of like daunting because I'll, I'll send it out and then I might get a dozen replies or whatever of people saying like, Oh, this is cool.You should check this out too. Or like, somebody will point out something that I got wrong and then, you know, like go down that rabbit hole and explore it. So it's great because I actually learned a lot from the newsletter now, too, from what people sent back to me and that's really fun. And it kind of like, lets me go down rabbit holes.There's other cool stuff. Like, my favorite is when I share an article in the newsletter and I'm like talking about, you know, this is really great. It was interesting, you know, here's what made me think about, and then like the author is on the newsletter and he replies, Oh, wow, thanks for sharing. And then like, boom, where like instant internet friends.Right? Like that's happened a number of times and that's always a really, really fun experience. I'm trying to think what else, like there's obviously the business side of it. And I think just like, I. Seeing the newsletter, like help people, especially early stage companies or people who are just like starting to get the word out about stuff.And I mean, there was like, there's this podcast app that I really loved called air air. And, I found out about it relatively early and got in touch with the founder. And we just like jammed for a bit and talked about like podcasting and note taking and stuff. And then I shared it in my newsletter and he texted me the next day.He was like, yo, that was our highest download day ever, like so far. And I was like, that's super cool. Right? Like, that feels really good because it's like, I found this thing. I liked it. I shared it. And it like made some small, meaningful impact in their business. Like that part. I really, really enjoy.Nathan: [00:14:21]Yeah, it's amazing to have that attention to be able to direct to things I friends are doing or just that you think is cool. Like so often, you know, like the most value you could give to a cool project is like, Oh, let me click retweet. You know, which doesn't really do much, but to be able to come across something and be like, Oh, this is amazing.More people should know about it. And, you know, be able to send tens of thousands of people. That direction is,Nat: [00:14:44]super cool. Yeah.Nathan: [00:14:46]this is a bit unrelated, but you're talking about, you know, making friends from the newsletter and all that. Something interesting that I think you posted on Twitter is, or maybe putting the newsletter is really a focus on like, as the world opens up in a post pandemic thing of, like you're saying, I actually just want to like make friends locally, like I've.I spent all this time, you know, like we could all get on the plane again. We could go to conferences and, and like expand our internet circles. And you're like, look, there's plenty of people here in Austin here in the area around, like what drove some of that thinking of like investing in local community and just making friends around you.Nat: [00:15:23]Yeah. I mean, I think that it was a combination of things, you know, one pre COVID. We were probably traveling like minimum once a month, like often, twice a month. So, you know, going somewhere every other week or every three weeks, something like that. And that was just a very normal for two years or more, I guess it was just like, Oh yeah, this is just like what we do, right?Like, you've got the ability to travel. Like you shouldn't travel and you should like go these other places and like, see things like Instagram and whatever. And then, you know, COVID hit and, you know, I don't know what it was like in Boise, but in Austin, especially in our community, we sort of like gave up on a lot of the.Like social guidelines very quickly where it was like, we had a very healthy, very young community. We were just hanging out with each other. We weren't like seeing at risk people. And we were just like, you know what, we're just going to roll these dice and not like spend a unpredictable amount of time, completely isolated from each other.Right. Cause it's like, there's a lot of risks with that too. Right. Like it's incredibly unhealthy way to live. So we just like started doing dinners with friends, doing cookouts, going for walks, doing like random activities, like almost every single day of the week. And so like we would be going to someone's house for dinner.They'd be coming over for dinner. We'd be doing cookouts on the weekend. And so Write, it was just like. Nonstop social, like group stuff that was at people's houses and in their yards and not like at a noisy bar, and didn't involve like having to get on a plane or like going anywhere. And pretty much all of us were like, Holy shit, this is so much, it was just like, this is, this is like the best way to live.This is awesome. we all got really good at cooking. Like a few of us bought like ranch houses outside Austin with acreage, or we could go like, hang out. I mean, it was just like completely new lifestyle. It was so much better. And so as you know, stuff is opening back up, we're all kind of like, we don't want to travel.Why would we go? And like, why would we do get on the plane and go somewhere? when we can just like, enjoy life here, like, why would we go to bars when we can like, have, you know, dinner or like drinks and party and stuff at friend's houses? Or like, why would we go to. Any restaurant, except like the very few that can legitimately make better food than we can get at home.But it's just like completely changed our relationship with like socializing and time. And I think there's like this, this tough question of, you know, like who do you want to build a deeper relationship with? And I think, you know, and every time you choose to spend time with someone or with some place you're choosing not to spend time with someone else or with someplace.And so every weekend that you get on a plane and go to somewhere else in your you're like deepening a relationship with something or someone that's like not actually where you live. Right. And so there's this element of like, you know, I, I do have friends in other cities and States and I do feel close to them, but at the end of the day, like I need to prioritize the people who are actually going to like be in this environment and who, you know, are probably going to be in Austin for the foreseeable future.Cause it's like, I think that it. It really highlighted how much stronger, like in-person friendships and stuff can be and why it's better to just focus on those than to try to like travel all over the country. Like having relationships with a bunch of cities and people in a bunch of places. And it's like, it's kind of like a awkward or tough thing to say or talk about.But I think that people would just be a lot happier if they like didn't travel, spend more time in their home.Nathan: [00:19:09]Yeah. And it's just all about being, being deliberate in that way and choosing the things that, you know, you're going to focus on. Cause you can't, you can't focus on everything.Nat: [00:19:18]Yeah, exactly.Nathan: [00:19:19]Okay. I want to start courses and then I want to talk like. W w w we'll go to, back to ranch houses since, you know, courses help enable ranch houses.So the, it seems to me from the outside of the main way you monetize your newsletter is through, courses like you have the, of course, on Roam called effortless output. that is, is that the primary revenue driver or are there other things as well?Nat: [00:19:45]Yeah, that's the primary revenue driver now. So, you know, there, there is other, there there's a bunch of other stuff, like there's, a bunch of like relatively high paying affiliate deals on the site. There's a, I sell my book Notes as like a little like info-product, I've got an iPhone app. Like there there've been other things, but at this point, yeah, the course revenue just like divorce, all the rest of that.So that's that kind of like in the last year, just like blew up as the main monetization channel for the site and it actually got another one coming out now focused on like SEO for solopreneurs.Nathan: [00:20:25]Bringing it full circle to what started the Content. And initiallyI want to ask him about the Day affiliates are there, like I don't hear about affiliates, you know, and, that as a channel, as often for monetization of newsletters, are there some of those that, you know, you can talk about and share, share numbers on.Nat: [00:20:44]Yeah. I mean, there's an honestly, I guess it doesn't really come mostly from the newsletter, mostly comes from the site and from SEO. So if we're talking about newsletter monetization, then yeah. That's predominantly courses. but there there's a couple of programs in particular that, I mean, actually it's really like one that's predominant, which is web flow.Right? So when Field probably is like 80% of the affiliate revenue, and I just like discovered web flow in 2017 and like really fell in love with it and started like promoting it hard. And they've just got like an awesome affiliate program. And my like my philosophy on affiliates is like, I'm never going to.Sign up for an affiliate program or promote something that I don't already like love and use, but it's something that I love and use has an affiliate program than like, yeah, I'm going to sign up for it.Nathan: [00:21:38]How much revenue is web, affiliate program driving for you? Like on a monthly basis?Nat: [00:21:43]It's like a bit over a thousand dollars a month. So it's like not insane, but it's also like, that's nothing to shake a stick at, right?Nathan: [00:21:51]Yeah, exactly. It's funny. The time, like the things where, like, I have a couple of like, well, optimized blog posts on this or something like that. And it's like, and that is driving, you know, it's like half a house payment.Nat: [00:22:03]Yeah. That's the thing, right? It's like a, it's fun to frame that stuff in terms of other things like, my buddy and I used to talk about random little. Affiliate passive income stuff is AAA money. All right. It's like you you've paid for all of your Chipotle A's for the month off of your like random you to me, affiliate revenue or whatever.Right. It's like, and if you, if you work on stuff long enough, you know, and you, you build up little channels, right? Like it can get to a sizeable amount of money. I mean, there's a lot to be said for having one thing that drives say 10 grand a month. But if you've got 20 little things that you've tried 500 a month, like that's cool too.And in some ways it's a little more resilient because if, if one fails, you've only lost 5% of your revenue versus if the $10,000 a month thing fails, you've lost all of your revenue.Nathan: [00:22:50]What was the reason behind diving into the Roam course, creating a launching that. And then I'm also curious how you price it. If you went with a cohort model or if it's just always open, like how do you approach that?Nat: [00:23:02]Yes. So it link came about very. I guess serendipitously or randomly, depending on how you want to frame it. I mean, I, from having the newsletter and talking about personal health management stuff and being on Twitter, talking about PKM, I was just like very in that world. And probably like, if there's a, if there's a head of that world, it's definitely Tiago and his chorus building a second brain.And I went through that back in 2017 and you know, I'd been like very vocally supporting his course and everything that he was working on. but I never liked Evernote. And I always had like a lot of struggles with Evernote as the tool for kind of like doing all of that. So when, Adam Kiesling tweeted about Roam in like November of 2019, I was like, Oh, this is kind of cool.Like, let's go check this out and play with it. And, you know, like immediately fell in love with it. And I already had like my newsletter, right. I already had the Medley. And so I, I shared it in the Medley and I shared it on Twitter and then other people were like, Oh wow, this is pretty cool. And I think just because I'd been sharing stuff, I was interested in and share in like building an audience of other people, interested in personal knowledge management, people took to it very quickly.But it was, and still is kind of confusing and opaque tool. So I had a lot of people asking, like, how do I actually use this thing? Like you say, it's cool, but it's not clear at all why this is so cool. So. I was like, all right, well, you know, I'll write an article about it wrote the article, the article, like hit front page of hacker news and like went mini viral on Twitter and got like, you know, some tens of thousands of views in the first 24 hours.And I was like, Oh wow, okay. There's like a lot of interest in this. And then I had four or five friends text me saying like, Hey, you know, if you did a course on Roam, like I would take it. Cause like, you seem very excited about it, but I still have like, no idea what to do here. So, that was really the push where I was like, all right.If, if my, like, if my friends who are like, Smarter than me are like asking me for a course on this. Like, that's probably a good sign. I should do one. but I'm also like, I I'm, I'm somewhere in between like intelligent, lean startup person and like exceptionally lazy, because I was like, I don't want to do any work on this if no one's going to pay for it.So, I just like put out a tweet and said, you know, Hey, some people ask for a Roam course, I'm going to do one. Here's like the initial table of contents. just PayPal me $50 if you want early access. And I got like 50 ish PayPals in the first, like 24 hours, which was like, ridiculous, because it was literally like a yeah, from a tweet and like a picture of the table of contents.Right. So, that was like strong validation was like, Oh shit. Okay. I should actually do this. And also now I have to do this because people have Tape don't want to just like, do a bunch of refunds. And so, yeah, I spent the next month, like recording everything, getting it out. and then, you know, you asked about pricing or something kind of funny happened then too, which was as I was like finishing up the course.So I, I said PayPal me 50 to get early access. the next day I put up an actual landing page and started charging 75. And then by the end of the weekend, I upped it to a hundred and I said, okay, it's going to be a hundred while I finished recording all of the content and everything. But then when I release it, the price is going to go up.So that was recording everything and putting it out. and then as I was getting close to finishing it, the, the Roam teams, people who worked on Roam took the course and they liked it so much that they basically subsidized it as they're onboarding. So they, and this was really funny cause they didn't even tell me they were going to do this.I just woke up one day and they had put out this tweet that said like, Hey. we liked that score so much that if you take it, we'll give you a hundred dollars in Roam credits. When we turn on payments, which was like incredible, because that basically made the course free, right. I was charging a hundred dollars for it.They were going to give you a hundred dollars in credit, but it basically pays for itself. and so after they did that, I said, okay, well, I'm not going to increase the price as long as they're offering that, because it makes it such a no-brainer to buy. So I just left it at a hundred dollars. And I mean, it was, it was crazy.I mean, by, by the time I got, by the time September rolled around, it was wanting to do the second version of it. It had done like two or $300,000 in sales. On a, a hundred dollars a student, which is like a lot of money for, an online course. and especially one that like, you know, in all honesty, I expected to make 10 grand off of, you know, some friends and other nerdy people on Twitter.I definitely did not expect it to have like that kind of reaction. so that was just like, kind of wild and continues to be a sort of wild, thing to have created.Nathan: [00:28:01]When you did the second version, what did you change about it? and how did it change the pricing?Nat: [00:28:06]So the first version, you know, the, the great thing about building in public and doing like the whole lean startup MVP, whatever is that it lets you like validate as you go. And not like build stuff that people don't want and don't need the downside is that when you don't have a plan stuff, kind of just like gets hacked together.It's sort of like, you know, building like an MVP with like actual code or whatever and you have this like cowboy code spaghetti code, like mess of stuff that needs to go back and you need to go back and clean up later. So version one was very like disorganized and very, like just tutorial, right?It was like, here's how to do this and here's how to do this. And here's how to do this. There wasn't that much of a like user story through it or like a flow that would, like help somebody like understand the why of the tool. It was just like the, what the, how to do this, this, this. so for V2, it was like, all right, we're going to do some quick, basic tutorial stuff. And then we're gonna go through an actual, like a journey of using this app. So we're going to like pick a topic that we want to learn more about, and then we're going to do a bunch of research on it.And we're going to organize our research in our database. They're going to take that Research or we're going to like distill it into like our lessons and our takeaways from doing all the research. Then we're going to create an actual, like project to manage shipping the deliverable that we want from doing this research.And then we're going to actually create something new from all that research, whether that's like an article or a script, or, like, you know, some sort of other creative work or whatever. And that seems to resonate with people a lot more. Cause then it was like, Oh, I see why I would use this now versus just like, here's how to use it.So for that one, Increase the price to two 50 and then also had a cohort-based version for 500 where you got the whole self paced. And then we met once a week for five weeks to go over implementing each of the five sections of the course. and. The cohort went fine. I just didn't enjoy doing it very much.And it didn't feel necessary for the type of course. So it was like, I think that if you're learning, if you're learning how to do something or how to use something, you don't need a cohort based model. I think we need a cohort based model four is like when you're adopting a new identity or doing something that requires feedback and like a continuous integration.So like David's Write of Passage course is like the ultimate cohort-based model because you can't do like a self-paced course on writing. Cause you need like social pressure to actually ship stuff. You need feedback on the writing, you need coaching. Like there's a lot that you need to do that well. whereas like how to use Roam, you can absolutely do self-paced So I haven't done another like five week cohort, but what I have been experimenting with, which I kind of like, is this a one afternoon intensive?So I did one of these last month. I'll probably do another one, like next month or something where I called it and building Roam in a day where it was a four hour, like intensive where each hour we did one of the units with like a 10, 15 minute break. And that actually went super well and people really liked it.And it gave me an excuse to update some of the course content. So I might try doing that every quarter or something.Nathan: [00:31:26]You know, it's interesting as you talk about that, I'm reminded of, James Claire for a long time, when he was building his newsletter, he, he was purely focused on growing the newsletter. You know, he, atomic habits wasn't out yet. so he was publishing twice a week, you know, and then promoting republishing that content.And we always talked about like, Oh, how are you going to monetize it? And he's like, ah, I just want to focus on growing total readers. But he did obviously need to make money. And so once a quarter, we would do a live habits workshop. And I think the first couple of times he did it, you know, like maybe the first one made 25 grand or something, you know, but then it got to the point where once a quarter he was doing these workshops and they were making like 250 grand each time just as that grew.And then for the entire rest of the 90 days, he could just focus on growing the audience. And so it was like once a quarter, he would take this little break, go make a bunch of money and then go focus on growth. And it's interesting. Cause I could see, yeah, you doing a similar thing. Like it just reminds me of with the intensives of like, Oh, if I do this every couple of months, you get kind of this fun interaction with all the students.It's another reason to like PR to promote, it's kind of a mini launch of like, or a reminder of like all of them that's Roam Content. So I like it.Nat: [00:32:47]Yeah. And what I did the last time was I charged a hundred dollars and then you just got like all the recordings and the tutorial. And what I then did is I saved all those recordings into a new course. And so now, effortless output has like a hundred dollar option and a $200 option. So the $200 option is the one that was two 50.And that's like the full self-paced course, but you can also just pay a hundred dollars for the recordings from Roam in a Day, plus the tutorial material. So it's like a condensed, like less in-depth version of the course. And that's actually been working out really, really well. And what I'm thinking I'll do for the next Roam in a day is basically say that, like, if you've taken either course, if you've bought outercourse, then you get to watch and join for free.So anybody who's taken either one can watch it join for free, but if you pay like. 25 or 50 or whatever. I haven't decided you can actually join live and like ask questions and engage. Because like, with, I think it was something like 4,500 students that have gone through it. Now, like if I try to, if I invite all of them to a zoom that could turn into a master really quickly.So having like two tiers where there's like an engagement tier and a like watch tier, I feel like is kind of a, a good way to do it.Nathan: [00:34:05]Yeah. And it encourages people or like gives people something where they're like, Oh, I've paid for the course maybe before Roman a Day existed. And so I can, you know, come check it out for free and people will appreciate that. what are you changing next time around as, you know, as you work on this, SEO course.Nat: [00:34:23]Yeah. So one thing that I've changed my mind on recently is kind of like pricing psychology with courses. So I think that. I think that you, you can make a lot of money and you can do very well pricing it very high. and I think, especially for cohort-based courses, you have solutions, you should charge a lot, but for self-paced stuff, I'm actually, I've gotten more of the mind that it's better to try to create like a disproportionately incredible course for the price so that there's no reason.For anyone to recommend any other course. So, there are a lot of SEO courses out there and a lot of them are like kind of expensive, and a lot of the inexpensive ones aren't like that. Great. Right. so my, my goal is I'm probably, I'm probably gonna do like a two tier structure, just like I have with the Roam course where there's going to be like a hundred dollars version at $200 version.And for the $200 version, like, I just want it to be like the absolute disgustingly best SEO course out there, where there would just be like no reason for anyone to recommend, like anything else, especially considering the price point. Because I think that once you like, get into that position of like, No, this is just the, of course you take, then that's where, like you really start to get sort of like the incredible long-term like tail benefits from it.Cause I think that like you, what you might lose in short-term revenue, you gain in long-term Mindshare. And it was this interesting thing where like, when the Roam course was only a hundred dollars, there were like so many people taking it. And so many people talking about it on Twitter that it felt like it was everywhere, right?At least in that like very small niche community. But when I increased the price of two 50, like fewer people were taking it, it wasn't getting talked about as much. It felt like. It was LA it had less of the mind share. Right. And so I think there's, there is actually a lot of power in like at least starting very inexpensive building, a huge fan base of people who like, love what you've built and then either never increasing it and maintaining that mind share, or like increasing it later once you've kind of like established a baseline of a lot of people who really like what you're doing.So that that's sort of what I've leaned more towards now.Nathan: [00:36:44]That's fascinating because just as like I got into selling digital products and courses back in 2012, and you know, the common price points were $29, $49, you know, like I had a version of mine that I charged two 49 for, and a lot of that was relatively expensive at the time. Whereas, you know, since then, yeah.Like a $2,000 course is not at all uncommon, you know, and then you, you get some that are cohort based, you know, there might be 3,500 or more in there they're positioning against like a semester of college, you know, or, or something like that. which I think is great. And, and it's enabled a lot of things and you can have, you know, a hundred students and make a crazy amount of money, which is fantastic.But I have wondered if it's going to go the other way as people try to find the sweet spot. So I like what you're saying about the a hundred dollar, you know, a hundred to two 50 price point and really, I guess all that, what are you optimizing for? And at this point you're not optimizing for the absolute most dollars per email subscriber or something like that.You're optimizing for Mindshare and that's a great call app.Nat: [00:37:54]Yeah. And I think that there's also this element too, of like knowing, knowing what you're good at and knowing what you do and do not want to do. And for me, for one, I hate cohort based courses. I can't stand them. like I have nothing against people doing them. It's an incredible model. And a lot of people love it and they should do it.I'm like, I just personally, like I'm crazy add, I can't like say engaged with something for like weeks and weeks at a time. Usually like, I want to download all the information in two days and then run with it. I can't wait. Write, like I was, I was like the most annoying student when I was in second frame of Tiago.Cause I was like, dude, can you just give me the lectures? Like, can I just watch them now please? Like, I don't want to wait until next week. Like, I'm surprised he put up with me because it's a pain in the ass about it. but for me it's like, okay, I know I'm going to do self paced. Right? Like I'm not going to do cohort.And then if I'm going to do self pace, like what in self pace do I not want to have to deal with? And the number one thing is like support, right? I want to, I don't want to have to be like always responding to emails. And I think that if you're like pricing at 500 or a thousand or something for self-paced course, people reasonably assume that you're going to give them some amount of your time.Whereas if you're in the like hundred to two 50 range, I don't think people have that same level of expectation. And honestly, somebody I like look up to a lot in this regard is West boss. because he's got these. Phenomenal programming courses like 25 hours of JavaScript training for a hundred dollars.Like the, the Delta between the value he's providing and the value he's capturing is like insane, but he makes millions of dollars off of his courses. Like the numbers on his site are like honest about how many people have gone through them. Like he's printing money on those. And everybody recommends him because his courses are incredible and very reasonably priced.Like it's a, it's a very, I think underrated model, if you're doing self-paced to just like, create this disgustingly huge difference between what people are paying and what they're getting and let that just like, do all of your marketing for you. Like when I, when I put up the presale for the SEO for solar preneurs on Twitter, a couple of days ago, I got a number of people who were applying, being like, Holy shit, only $97, like that's instant.Yes. Right. And I was like, cool. Okay. That's like the thing that I'm going for here.Nathan: [00:40:18]When it comes to monetizing newsletters, there's a bunch of different paths, you know, like, courses, eBooks, all of that has been really common. People have done sponsorships. I feel like a bunch of them are having, different forms of Renaissance, but paid newsletters are really popular right now with some stack and, and ghost and ConvertKit and everything else.I'm curious, you sort of like dip in both worlds a little bit where you're most, it seems like from the outside, most of your revenue is coming from courses, but then you're also putting content in not your own pain newsletter. Right. But you're putting it in the, every bundle. what's it, what's the reasoning behind that?Nat: [00:40:57]I mean, I, every bundle, I think is just like a cool right Like I love what Dan and Nathan are doing Uh I think that it's so I I had wanted to do some sort of paid writing thing And I try to membership for my site That was a mistake Uh didn't go well for me considered it, for the same reason that I don't like a lot of core stuff.Like I'm, I'm very good at like focusing intensely for a period, shipping something and moving on to the next thing. I'm not good at maintenance. Like I can't sustain stuff very well. and when people are like joining a membership that sort of expecting a certain level of maintenance or like engagement or stuff, and like, I.Yeah, those are the things that I hate most are like doing the same thing week after week. Right. Whether that's even if it's like hosting a different workshop, like if I have a recurring event on my calendar, that's, work-related, it's just like the bane of my week. and so I just, I couldn't enjoy doing the membership, even though there were cool people in there and it was making good money.Right. It's like, I, it was, it was doing like a bit over five K a month when I launched it. And after a month, when it started the second month I like canceled it and refunded everyone. Cause I was just like, I'm sorry guys. Like, I just, I'm not enjoying doing this. Like glad I tried it, but it wasn't the right thing for me.So like that didn't work. I considered doing a paid newsletter, but then I was worried about the same problem, which is basically like, okay, if people sign up for this for 10 a month, then I have to ship something like every week so that they feel like they are getting their money's worth. and I've, I know myself well enough at this point to know that the minute I introduce that, like incentive structure, I'm going to hate doing it.So, what I liked about every was since this is a collective you're, if I don't send something for a few weeks, there's still a lot of other, really good stuff in the bundle people are getting access to. So I don't have to feel like I need to ship on a set schedule in order to like give people their money's worth, because I'm just like a part of a, a broader collective.And so I like that a lot. And I liked it there. Like, it's, it's a very wide variety of topics and they're very like, hands-off with sort of like, just for the most part, letting me write about whatever I want to write about. And I'm also like, I'm definitely the odd one in the bundle and that my newsletter has like no cohesive topic that makes any sense.But that's also like, if anybody knows my writing, they know that that's just like who I am. and so it kinda like fit, like it's good that they were willing to let me do that too. Right. So. It's just like, I think it's a cool experiment and I think that they're going to like grow and it's going to be cool to like, be in that community and it's fun.And it's like, it's a good, it's a good link exercise for writing too. Cause I don't really have anybody edit the stuff that goes on my blog or that goes in my newsletter, but like, they're very good about like editing and feedback and stuff. So it's making me a better writer too. which I appreciate.Nathan: [00:43:57]Yeah, I love the structure that they've put around it. when Nathan was on the show, we talked a lot about the. Like writing process and editorial and, and how to have that group of people where you can riff on ideas with, cause we all do it, you know, but we do it with a random friend who's over for a barbecue and we're like, Hey, we're like testing out, you know, material for another blog post.And, and so to have people who are like Hey there's something here but this draft that you wrote isn't it you know and actually like and say, Hey, if you put a couple more hours into this, it could actually be something that's, that's really good instead of like passable.Nat: [00:44:36]Definitely. Yeah. And they've got like weekly chats for like workshopping article ideas and people, you know, give each other feedback on stuff they're working on. and it's interesting too, because it's like, it's, it's actually a very like politically diverse community. but everyone's very like respectful.And so we can like, it's, it's cool because I think that a lot of publications are, you know, like we're seeing this with New York times and whatever, like they, they become very politically homogenous. Whereas like so far there's like a pretty big diversity of like etiologies, whatever, and the people writing for every, and we're all like, we can, we can disagree very respectfully, like within the discord and like have really interesting conversations about stuff.And so I'm like, I'm hoping that that can like keep up, and it makes the newsletter more interesting too, because I feel like we can write about stuff that, you know, Different people have very different opinions onNathan: [00:45:31]Yeah, how's the money side of it, of at work. Is it driving, any kind of meaningful revenue for you?Nat: [00:45:37]Yeah, it's serving some, I mean, the way it works right now, and actually, Evan Armstrong who writes for napkin math, just put out an article on this, on every blog title is something like, am I, am I getting screwed by every, it was like, it was a clever title where he basically, he broke down the math of how like writers for the bundle get paid and whether or not it makes sense.And so it's like basically you get 50% of all revenue from, people who like sign up and reference you as the reason they signed up. So the bundle costs $20 a month. And everybody who signs up either through my publication or who say that, like I sent them, I'm getting $10 of that revenue. So I think I'm making a bit over two grand a month from it right now.And I think that like, if I, I am, but I'm also like, not that great about writing as consistently as everyone else. so if I like do a better job of that, and honestly, I think that if I decide on a topic to focus that newsletter on a little more deliberately, that's going to help with it too. Cause it is hard to know if it's worth subscribing to something when you've no idea what you're getting.So I'm playing around with a couple of topics to try to like narrow in on over there and then leave my like other Medley of ideas for the newsletter and personal site.Nathan: [00:46:51]What's interesting to me about that is it's like half a, your own paid membership or, you know, paid newsletter and half affiliate at that point. Right. Cause going through your have um you know like there's several posts that you click into and it's like here's the start of it And then go read the rest of it on every um and so that's like you know it's just like go read the rest of it on my paid newsletter But even if you know a few years from now I imagine if you like were ready even less consistently for every you'd still have what's effectively affiliate links driving traffic over and Hey, that recurring subscription.That's interesting.So let's talk about some of the things you're doing offline.One of my favorite things is taking, I think Ryan holiday and I were talking about this at one point of taking like internet money and turning it into tangible, real life things. what are, what are some of your favorite, you know, real world uses of, of internet money?Nat: [00:47:47]There's like, and this goes back to the COVID realizations about like better living. I mean, just spending time outside and away from screens. It's like, I, I, and I think this is a fairly common sentiment at this point. It's like time behind screens is to pay for more time away from screens at this point.So. Like with, you know, during COVID, my wife and I bought like a really nice, like five bedroom house, about 45 minutes outside Austin. on six acres, like in this sort of dense wooded area with this like huge like wraparound porch and just like a perfect house for like getaway parties and cookouts and stuff like that, and built a big fire pit.And we've got like three different grilling apparatuses out there and just like the ideal spot for everyone to like go and enjoy being out in nature. And I think that's been like one of the biggest, like good investments in like quality of life that we've made. I think that like too much gets lost in the, in the financial optimization discussion.Right. Where. You know, you'd probably hear somebody say like, Oh, well, you know, it's actually a really bad like investment to buy a vacation house because you could invest that money in like index funds. And then you could just like rent an Airbnb whenever you want to go do that. And it's like, yeah. But like, then you've got to like find the Airbnb every time and it's like, not exactly how you want it and you don't have all like the grill stuff you want and you don't like, there's just so many downsides to that model that kind of like get lost by just over optimizing for return on capital.So, we're, we're like very pro you know, investing in like ways to enjoy life with friends, outdoors, and been like a lot of little things like that. I mean, also during COVID we like. Did a big renovation on our backyard in terms of like building out a big deck and everything. I got a sauna for back there, which I'm using like almost every day now.And it's awesome. I moved my whole desk outside of it, which is like another awesome quality of life improvement. And it's raining today, which is why I'm like recording this in my kitchen. but like that, I mean, that's such, it's been great. and I think that like, it's really easy to forget how much better it feels being out in nature and having that clean air and that like healthy environment and everything.Until you like get back out there and remind yourself, because it's like, it's something about being in the city and like being in work mode, you forget how much better you feel when you're out there. And then you go back out there and you're there for even 20 minutes until like, Whoa like this is, this is how I should feel all the time.Like, this is better. So how do I get more of this? And how do I remember to go get more of this? Cause it's, it's again, it's really easy to forget when you're in that like downtown work mode.Nathan: [00:50:42]Yeah, I'm, I'm optimizing for many of the same things of like, you know, this evening after work, I'm going to go plant a two acre field with pasture grass, because I've got the, the seed spreader, you know, hooked up that I borrowed from a friend hooked up to my tractor and, you know, we've got like, I don't know, 50 pounds of seed and, you know, that's what we're gonna do this evening.And it's exactly that of like taking a phone call or something. And like, I can go, go for a walk and like, not even leave my own property, you know, as I'm like wandering around talking on the phone or, or anything else. And so it's really fun. And then like, you're talking about as well, having the space to invite friends over, you know, and, and like have the spare bedrooms of like, Hey, come visit.There's there's plenty of room for everybody.Nat: [00:51:29]I mean, it like socialization and like spending time with people is completely different when it's, Hey, come have dinner and hang out for like six hours or the night. And, you know, like really spend a chunk of time together versus what we normally do, which is like, Hey, let's go meet for an hour and a half dinner and then like run off to our next commitment.I think that you can actually get a lot closer, a lot deeper with people and like a single, you know, six hour long hang, then you can get in, you know, months of occasional dinners and whatnot. it's like, it's a, it's a very different way of spending time with people. And I think just like so much more enjoyable.Nathan: [00:52:11]Yep. It's good. we have now I guess, between the two properties that we bought and side-by-side, I think we have like eight. Spare bedrooms from like various houses you know, we can rent out on Airbnb. And so one of my goals is to just have, have more people come visit and stay. And we have a lot of work to do on this property as far as like, you know, there's crazy amounts of bare dirt, everywhere, lots of trees to plants and all that.But that's, that's part of the fun.Nat: [00:52:38]That's awesome. Yeah. And it's like, it's fun doing the work too. It's very satisfying. It's a different kind of satisfying from like working online.Nathan: [00:52:46]Still at the same creative mindset, it just is applied differently when you're, you know, outlining a Roam course versus building a fire pit.Nat: [00:52:54]Yep.Nathan: [00:52:56]Let's see, on the other side, I'm curious about things. Well, so from following you online, you have this interesting balance between like lots of things that are optimized, Write being the rum, Roam Research guy, you know, you're, you've got all the systems dialed in, you know, I remember you talking about.You, I, I think you and your wife talking about perfect pitch, you know, and you're like, Oh yeah, I have an article somewhere. You know, like, let me go dig it up. You know, I've researched this and like how to develop, how kids can develop perfect pitcher, you know, any of these things, right? You have extensive research and, and things that are heavily optimized.And then you also have like this whole other side of your life where it's purposeful under optimization, you know, where, you're either saying like you're getting out of your agency and stepping back from that, you know, you don't strike me as the person. Who's trying to make the most amount of money in every area of life, or so I'm curious, how do you think about that?What are the things where you're like, this is what I'm going to have dialed in, and this is the area where maybe you're even actively preventing yourself from, optimizing some of those things. Yes.Nat: [00:54:02]Yeah. I think a lot of it comes back to, for lack of a better term, just like being kind of stubborn and like selectively lazy in the sense that I think that, I think that when I was a kid, you know, my parents would always say like, well, you're going to have to do stuff that you don't want to do. And I think there was part of me that was like, I'm going to show you.Right. Like I bet I can figure out a way to like, not do most of that stuff. and I think like realizing that the point of accumulating capital was to like, Design your life in the way that you want it. And not just to like accrue more capital, it was like a very helpful realization in maybe in college or something.I guess I had a lot of friends or peers who were going into these like wall street careers, where they were working 60, 70, 80 hour weeks and making great money, but just like being miserable. And, you know, I started down that track and then realized like, yeah, I don't think this is for me. I'd rather like, you know, control my time more and get to do what I want.And I think that's just always been like a very helpful driving force for me, where it's like, I'm not going to optimize for like dollars in the bank. I'm going to optimize for, you know, free time on the schedule and like the ability to do whatever I want to do, work on what I want to work on. Right. It's like I'm spending probably six hours a day right now, just like programming and learning more coding and development and learning about crypto and stuff.Because like, that's what I'm really curious about right now. And I think that I like. I can do really, really good work and I can make really, really good stuff when I'm very interested in it and very like compelled to do it. But the minute someone like tells me to do something or the minute I feel like I have to do something, my like quality of output and everything just like goes through the floor.And I'm like, like, I'm the worst possible person that you could hire. and I think that like accepting that about myself and trying to like work with that, being my personality instead of like fighting it and trying to. You know, operate in the normal ways was like very, very helpful for like, you know, both work success, but also like psychological health Riley.I think that for basically all of high school and early parts of college, I thought that there was like something wrong with me. And I was like messed up because I didn't care about grades and I couldn't focus on schoolwork and, you know, like I thought this was dumb and didn't like it, and you know, it was just like always this source of tension in my life.And once I kind of said like, like, fuck it. I'm just going to figure something else out. It, like, everything just went a lot better. So, you know, like even even dumb stuff now, right? Like it's like, yes, I should. You know, obviously I have the time to like do my laundry and clean my house, but like, I don't want to.And, and so we like hired a nanny who comes and helps us out, like once a week and, you know, like, Takes care of all, all of that stuff. And it's just like being very okay with, not with optimizing, for like living in a way that's like in line with how my brain works versus trying to like maximize, you know, finances or like, you know, do what you're supposed to do or whatever.I think it's just like, been very, very helpful. So I try to just like focus my time on the very few things that I'm legitimately good at and can actually focus on versus like trying to do everything right.Nathan: [00:57:37]Yeah, that makes sense. A question that comes to mind for me is, is balancing. Like not wanting to have commitments or be told what to do or that sort of thing, which I can very much relate to with like, pre-selling a course, you know, some people have this problem where they, I think Derek Sivers talks about like, not telling people you're going to do something before you do it, because you've gotten part of the dopamine hit saying like, I'm going to do the same because like, wow, that's amazing.That's so cool that you're going to do that, you know?And, but then you haven't, you know, you haven't done it yet. and so, especially when you're, pre-selling something right, you now have this obligation. Is that not a problem that you run into? Are you able to like, just power through and, and meet the obligation or does it trigger some of those feelings?Nat: [00:58:22]No, that's a, that's a really good question. and I think that the reason it works is that it's an obligation I want. Right. It's like, I, cause it's funny, like at the same time that I'm really bad at doing things I'm told to do. I'm also really bad at like, Shipping stuff. If there isn't some reason to ship it, if that makes sense.So like, I respond very well to peer pressure or like having other people who are committed to the same things as me. So I find like, you know, workout buddies, like that works very well or committing with somebody to, you know, doing something for a month, whether that's, you know, not drinking or like whatever, like that all works very well.And I think that's because those are commitments that like I want and things that I want to do, but I might not have enough like willpower or focus to do on my own. So, you know, with the course stuff, like I've been talking about doing an SEO course since January, and it was on my like list of things to do this year.And I like had even I'd put out a tweet of, like two months ago saying like, Hey, I'm gonna do this sign up for the email list to like, know when it comes out. But like, none of those were enough to actually like get me to sit down and do it, whereas like. Something about collecting money is a very, very effective, like stick, I guess, for actually like making the initial progress.I think that like part of it is it's something that I want to do, but it's very easy to procrastinate on because it's like, Oh, I can always do it later. I can do it later. I can do it later. But once I've like put a line in the sand, had some people commit to it, then I can like make a lot of progress really quickly.But you're you're right. That's kind of like a funny, like, comparison or like example, or I don't know what the exact term would be, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like this weird dichotomy I can't do. I can't think of things that other people tell me to do, but I can do things that I tell other people to tell me to do.Nathan: [01:00:26]I think we're all or everyone who has creative output and is working in that way is, is looking for like, how can I like through crafting my environment, my friends, you know, understanding my own motivations and all that. How can I like harness this mind and body into doing the things that I want?Like did I say I want to do, but are actually hard, you know? And so it sounds like you've found a lot of those of like, for you, that is a tool that works, you know, you build up this momentum of like, okay, I want to do this now. I need a reason to do it now instead of, you know, later this year or next year or never.Nat: [01:01:06]months. Yeah, exactly.Nathan: [01:01:08]Yeah. That's good. as, as we wrap up, I'm, I'm curious a bit more your relationship to goals, and maybe I'll go with a different question. our friend clay Aber has a question that he likes of, if we were to meet

Good Morning it's Saturday February 6th, and this is The Wenatchee World's newest podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.  Today - As the price of a cryptocurrency rises, so does the interest from miners of all sizes looking to grab a piece of the pie.

It's seen its share of dips and spikes over the past decade, and in the past year alone the price quintupled to a record $41,940 in early January. In some ways, mining Bitcoin is like drilling for oil. And according to Malachi Salcido, one of North Central Washington's most prominent cryptocurrency miners, if you can't cover your cost at $50 a barrel, you're not going to be around long enough to enjoy the $100 a barrel spikes. Last January the Douglas County PUD approved a new policy that raises their power rates 10% every six months for five years. Add on regular technology upgrades and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and some mining operations were looking at much bleaker financial outlooks when the price was still hovering somewhere under $7,500 last year. Raymond Walintukan, director of mining operations for Bitmain, which operates a mine in East Wenatchee said that time was running out given the electricity price was going up. They were getting close to breaking even and then luckily the Bitcoin price shot up.  And as the price of a cryptocurrency rises, so does the interest from miners of all sizes looking to grab a piece of the pie. It's why some mining operations, like Bitmain's 12-megawatt facility mine near Pangborn Memorial Airport, focus their efforts on mining as fast as possible when the price is low. During those low periods they'll switch out their powerful computers to the latest models to maximize output. And that's an easier proposition for Bitmain — they also manufacture the machines. The Chinese company is one of the world's largest cryptocurrency hardware producers. Even so, Walintukan says their operation in East Wenatchee spends somewhere between $10 to $30 million a year on new equipment to keep up with the competition. Back in 2018, Politico Magazine described the mid-Columbia Basin as a would-be “El Dorado” for the miners that flocked to the area to prospect for digital riches. But according to Salcido, at this point it appears that the kind of wild west, gold-rush stampede phase is over. Salcido entered the industry in 2013 and his company Salcido Enterprises now has several facilities including in Cashmere and East Wenatchee. The leveling off of the explosive growth of the past few years was one of the primary drivers behind Douglas PUD's power rate changes in 2020. PUD General Manager Gary Ivory said that the change aims to help businesses and residents in Douglas County to grow and to flourish here for generations to come.  And while the pandemic has had negative impacts on large swaths of the economy, it's also pushed many consumers and businesses to embrace digital tools. Salcido says that helps reinforce the usefulness of a digital currency network. Now, our weekly profile of one of the World's 30 Under 35 award recipients.  Claire Oatey, who graduated from Whitman College in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in sociology, started her “love affair” with nonprofits at Rebuilding Together Seattle. There, she worked with corporate sponsors and volunteers to provide critical home repairs for low-income homeowners. She went on to work for an animal welfare organization in Denver, and then led business operations for an early childhood program in Leadville. She arrived in Wenatchee in 2017, accepting the role of director of community grants at the Community Foundation of NCW. Oatley facilitates community grantmaking programs that distribute roughly $500,000 each year to nonprofit organizations in Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan counties. Oatey also serves on the city's Homeless Committee and is involved in other activities that build community and raise awareness. Recently that has included spending time learning how to be a more effective ally against racism. When we asked Oatley what inspires her she told us that she's continuously inspired by the nonprofit leaders in North Central Washington! Running a nonprofit is no easy feat. Staff and board members give so much of themselves to the missions of their organizations. Stemilt Creek Winery in Wenatchee was founded by Kyle and Jan Mathison. The Mathison's are fourth generation farmers. The family has grown fruit trees in the area since Thomas Cyle originally homesteaded in 1893. Finally, before we go we'd like to take a moment to remember the life of Pastor Samuel King Detwiler, who passed away after a battle with Covid 19.  Samuel was born in Pennsylvania, and graduated from Ottawa University and University of Missouri with a Master's degree in Psychology. While working as a chemical dependency counselor, he felt the Lord urging him into Christian service.  For the next 38 years, he was a pastor at various churches throughout the U.S., being ordained a Church of the Brethren and American Baptist minister. In 1999, he was led to be a pastor in Wenatchee, at the Brethren Baptist Church. After seven years, he followed his calling to start Shalom Church, to minister to the addicted and marginalized. The church started a drop-in day center, Power House, to minister to the homeless in Wenatchee. He and his wife retired to Montrose, Colorado, in the Spring of 2019, to pursue their love of off-roading and camping in their beloved mountains. Samuel always showed Christian compassion for those in need. He will be greatly missed. Thank you for taking a moment with us to remember and celebrate Samuel's life. Thanks for listening.

Idag talar vi med Ann Fernholm som berättar om hur det kom sig att hon började granska livsmedelsindustrin och om hennes senaste granskning av företaget Oatley. Är det rimligt att tycka att ett miljardföretag borde bana väg för en bättre livsmedelsindustri eller är vi ute och cyklar?

Door de Wet arbeidsmarkt in balans is het aantal payrollers flink afgenomen. Maar dat leidde niet tot meer jaarcontracten en vaste aanstellingen, zoals de bedoeling was. Het merk Oatley ligt onder vuur, omdat het geld aannam van een investeerder die helemaal niet past bij de slagzin 'Geen melk, geen soya, geen badness'. En suikerbietenboeren willen hun oude landbouwgif terug.

The Lebanese Australian community of NSW are overwhelmed and very appreciative by the initiative taken by the NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian by the lighting up of the opera house with the cedar of Lebanon in solidarity, a week after the horrific disaster in Beirut, and her emotional and kind words of support: “ From NSW to Lebanon with Love.” The Member for Oatley, and Assistant Speaker, Mr Mark Coure visited 2MFM to convey on air the message of love & support +on behalf of the Premier and the people of NSW. On behalf of the Australian Lebanese community, we at the Muslim Community Radio would like to thank the Australian Government and the Australian people for their empathy and generosity. We applaud and appreciate your assistance. A huge thank you to everyone involved. لقد سعدنا بزيارة النائب عن Oatley ، مارك كوري لينقل باسم رئيسة حكومة نيوساوث ويلز رسالة الدعم والتضامن مع لبنان والجالية اللبنانية الأسترالية . اجرت الحاجة فاتن الدنا معه اللقاء التالي ، شاكرة اياه باسم الجالية اللبنانية الأسترالية في نيو ساوث ويلز على المبادرة التي اطلقتها رئيسة الحكومة غلاديس بريجيكليان بإضاءة دار الأوبرا مع أرز لبنان تضامناً ، بعد أسبوع من الكارثة المروعة في بيروت ، والتي حملت في طياتها كلماتها العاطفية واللطيفة الداعمة: "من نيو ساوث ويلز إلى لبنان مع كل خالص المحبة." ونيابة عن الجالية اللبنانية الأسترالية ، نود نحن في إذاعة الجالية الإسلامية أن نشكر الحكومة الأسترالية والشعب الأسترالي على تعاطفهما وكرمهما. إننا نشيد ونقدر مساعدتكم و شكرا جزيلا لكل من ساهم في ذلك

EP25 James Oatley is a knife maker from Sydney who mainly specializes in kitchen knives with an obvious Japanese influence. Managing to have very modern bright designs whilst still creating the traditional Japanese knife styles. His love of knife making came from a young age and we discuss some of the influences from that time that not only helped him start his journey but heavily influence how he makes now and his work ethos.  James comes across as an easy going guy but is in no way lazy about his knives and his passion is clear.     James’s links Instagram https://www.instagram.com/oatleyknives/ Website https://www.oatleyknives.com/ Find us at https://www.instagram.com/tobyfireandsteel/  https://www.facebook.com/MurrillandSon/  Products and site  www.tobyfireandsteel.com  Email toby@tobyfireandsteel.com TFS Knife maker Challenge Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/711126822742169/ Handle contour video  https://youtu.be/GhurYaJwBQU Knifeprint Toby Fire and steel affiliate link https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.knifeprint.com%2Fu%2Fy87qj%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR235nUO3k087eIrzRRh6cdIeKKCHPnKe_CZN8OAzvY0XyrfykizY-0LLf4&h=AT0zAGSzTx8KfblYl4OsEl0KdrpAkuWB2jlbdZcK2Ow1jtNfjxxqHTalGuddV1hZhTq6R99UBfUtZwYskflb4uSionvXkVrjl6NqptDVMboOXYB0EzVGlJJNAmykASe1LFz6Hg   I am micro-investing with Raiz.

Craft beers and gins have come into their own in the last few years – alongside artisanal bakeries and independent coffee roasters.  So what’s going to be the next big thing amongst small, specialist food and drink businesses?  If you listened to my podcast with Keterina Albanese at the Pub Show, it could be cider, English whisky or rum.  If it’s rum, then Giles Collighan, Vince Noyce and Dich Oatley will be leading the way.  I caught up with Vince and Dich at the Portsmouth Distillery, where I discovered that the word ‘rum’ is really an umbrella term for a drink that comes in different guises, from the floral French ‘agricole’ which uses sugar cane juice to the molasses-based rum associated with the British Navy.  Regular listeners will know that I love meeting people who do things properly.  Who really research and understand their craft and don’t take shortcuts.  This edition is yet another tale of dedication and patience, with Vince in particular devoting hours to researching different rums across the Caribbean, from the Dominican Republic in the North down to Trinidad in the South. It’s a tough gig, but someone’s got to do it…  And now, they have to impatiently wait 3 years for some of their barrel aged rum to mature, hidden in a casement of a fort built in 1785, providing perfect temperature controlled ageing conditions.    

This week Aaron and Michael sat down with the creator of the popular trucking and freight news blog www.freightbrokerlive.com to discuss all things trucking! They dive into how Stephen got started, why he hates the term "millennials", how our generation (and younger) can have a successful career in our industry, trucking media, and much, much, more! Stephen has a passion for logistics that is supremely evident in this episode! Be sure to follow him on social media, his podcast and website so you don't miss his unique take on what's happening in logistics today!

Coming soon! Personal Injury Lawyers Charles Jung and Harrison Cooper host Exhibit Eh: The Oatley Vigmond Podcast. A ten-episode debut season is launching in February 2020.

Dressed to Impress? 15/12/2019 Speaker: Craig Olliffe Scripture: Judges 6:33-8:21

With a BIG discussion around being vegan and plant based currently there is a lot of talk around dairy, some claiming its evil, some claiming welfare standards are poor, some claiming its contributing to health issues, so why not chat to a 3rd generation dairy farmer? I've developed a relationship with Joseph Heler Cheese who make the EatLean cheese and their CEO George Helen, an awesome guy. We sit down and discuss dairy farming and how our milk is produced, the standards they set for their dairy, what music cows like, nutrition comparisons of dairy and their dairy alternatives, the future of food and dairy, and his companies journey into being a 170 employee cheese producer from starting with 40 cows and a dilapidated farm.

Looking for a topical news podcast? No sweat, we sink our teeth into Prince Andrew's car-crash interview on BBC Newsnight. The Tories were widely criticised for changing the CCHQ press office's Twitter name to ‘FactCheckUK' during the ITV leaders' debate. Finally, Disney+ launched with more than 10 million sign-ups on the first day, but leaving users frustrated with tech issues as the entertainment behemoth struggled to cope with demand.

It's time for Season 2 to draw to a close (waaaaa) but never fear, this finale is a corker! Holly and Kate chatted to Samuel Oatley, known amongst other things as the guy with all the teeth from the latest season of Doctor Who! Sam talked to us about his role on the iconic show, why Sci-Fi continues to be at the forefront of modern storytelling and why we need to embrace diversity of sound in the modern creative industries. Sam is a huge Shakespeare lover so he spoke about why he feels much of the bard's work feels stagnant for modern audiences and we talked about how it links in with society's views on class and people's assumptions on capability. Please spread the word about the podcast!! Follow us on Twitter @DiversifyPod, Instagram @DiversifyPodcast or embrace the long-winded at ourteamq@gmail.com.  We'll see you next year!!

In the first episode of the newly rebooted (RE)source: Real Talk About Louisville Real Estate, Jay and Gabe sit down (actually, they stand up) with Laura Oatley, Local top producer, team leader, and industry veteran. Laura shares her wisdom about how having difficult conversations well (and early) can be the defining factor in determining a new agent's success. Jay tells the story of how he lost a listing to Laura early in his career, and to his chagrin, watched as she sold it in a fraction of the time he had spent on marketing. Laura explains how a simple conversation laid the framework for that early success, and how agents who don't have the gift of directness can emulate her approach.

-Jasmin  is obsessed with Oatley, we are thrilled to get a kind response from Heidi Schrek (What The Constitution Means to Me), Jasmin has a session with our sponsor BetterHelp, and we discuss the horrors of the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act. -Mariann talks to Dale Jamieson about his work with the Center for Environmental and Animal Protection at New York University, his work in creating the Environmental Studies program at NYU, the skepticism around animal studies programs, and effective ways to engage with animal advocacy courses. (19:00) -Mariann brings us Rising Anxieties. (1:00:25)

He currently works for Pluralsight. Today they are talking about the spectrum of creating a Rails app, or any app, from the birth of the idea to the death of the project. They stress the importance of planning for updates. Olivier talks about his experience in maintaining Code School, which has now been incorporated into Pluralsight. David also shares his experience with the life and death of a project. They talk about technical debt and the trouble that it can create, and the importance of making your Rails application maintainable.  Olivier talks about his experience when Code School was acquired by Pluralsight. The panel discusses the inevitability of the end of an application and different ways of managing company integration. They talk about ways to plan for shutting down a project. One of the best ways to make integration easier is to clean up your code and always be considering what data needs to be kept and what can be truncated. They discuss some of the issues around storing customer data and respecting individual privacy.  The panel talks more about sunsetting, or the ending of an app. People often think that shutting down an app doesn’t have any impact, but it is important to give customers time to adjust to change, as Olivier found out with Code School. Dave talks about different reactions that one could have when change happens. The panel talks about some of the emotional implications of having to destroy something that you’ve worked hard on for a long time. Ultimately, your project isn’t where you should put your self-worth, because projects will come to an end. When things do end, it’s important to look back at where you’ve come from and the impact that you’ve had on people.  Links Lambda Dependabot Peoplecode Pluralsight Trackable Paranoia Discard  Rails for Zombies Follow DevChat on Facebook and Twitter Picks Andrew Mason: Wild Sardines from Wild Planet David Kimura: 5K screens from LG Charles Max Wood: Pluralsight New Show: Adventures in DevOps Butcher Box Hotels.com  Nate Hopkins: Keynote speech from RailsConf Olivier Lacan: Oatley Horizonzerowaste.com  Adobe Lightroom CC

Full show notes at: https://www.pencilkings.com/podcast/ Want to know how to break out of art jail and finally move forwards with your creative career? Do you long to leave your day job but just don't know how to make progress as an artist? In this interview, Chris Oatley from The Oatley Academy reveals the simple changes you can make to really start pushing things forwards.
