Title: Languaging in Hampton RoadsEpisode 14: Voices of Faith in Hampton RoadsHosts: Jill Winkowski and Prue SalaskyDate: March 5, 2025Length: 48:50Publication Frequency: Fourth Friday (approx) of each monthIn this episode we interview several pastors, all first-generation immigrants, who minister to their flocks in the native language of their country of origin.The interviews are with Pastor Echo Lin from the Shanghai region of mainland China, who leads services in Mandarin at the more than 100-year-old independent First Chinese Baptist Church in Virginia Beach; Father Joseph Nguyen who ministers to two Catholic Vietnamese congregations, Our Lady of LaVang Catholic Church in Norfolk, and Our Lady of Vietnam Catholic Church in Hampton ; and with Luke Do, Senior Pastor of Peninsula Korean Baptist Church in Newport News.(We also talked to Pastor Trung Phan, leader of Hope Vietnamese Church in Annandale, Va. Time and geographical constraints meant we weren't able to include his interview; we will run it as bonus material at a future date.)From our interviews, we learned about the changing role of the church in each community, the importance of language for identity, the generational rifts as assimilation occurs -- and what the future of ethnic-centered churches might be as globalization and technology reduce differences.We did not address the use of traditional liturgical languages, such as Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, and Koine Greek, all of which are represented in Hampton Roads. Nor did we cover the multiple Spanish-speaking churches, by far the largest segment of non-English services in the region. Instead, we focused primarily on Asian-led churches that minister to their communities through the use of the vernacular. In talking to ministers at Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese churches we learned not only about immigration patterns in the region, but also the ealier history of colonization and missionary activity. We learned in many cases that faith was secondary to a sense of community and cultural belonging.Our interest in the topic was sparked by a sign for the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, Mehane Hiwot Abune Gebre Menfes Kidus, in the Park Place neighborhood of Norfolk . We learned that the Norfolk church, started in 2013, is part of one of the most ancient branches of Christianity, part of the Coptic tradition dating back to 300 AD. Priest Teshome Yohannes Feleke presides over a congregation of 200 drawn from throughout Hampton Roads. Services are in a combination of Ge'ez, the ancient liturgical language, and Amharic, Ethiopia's everyday language that evolved from it. (Plug in the church's name to find beautiful chanting on YouTube.) The church is celebrating its renovation with a grand re-opening on March 14/15.We also discovered Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Norge, which once held services in Norwegian. Today the language is no longer used, but the church is the proud possessor of a Norwegian Bible donated by Norway's royal family in 1939. We also learned that Norge is actually the name for Norway in Norwegian, a tribute to its original Scandinavian settlers at the turn of the 20th century!As you can gather, it's a very rich topic and we only scratched the surface of the Babel of languages used in worship in our Hampton Roads region.Please send your questions and feedback to languagingHR@gmail.com

Today on the Hot Jazz Network Podcast, Dave Lopez and George Cole announced an important benefit/fundraiser for the Jason Becker Creative Care Project. Jason Becker's story, if you haven't heard it, is one you'll never forget—a tale of brilliance, talent, determination, adversity, and ultimate triumph. A child prodigy on guitar, Jason rose to prominence as a teenager when he was one half of the legendary rock guitar duo Cacophony (with his great friend Marty Friedman). After wowing audiences worldwide with his amazing guitar skills and deep compositions, Jason auditioned for—and secured—the coveted position with David Lee Roth, following in the footsteps of Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai. He wrote and recorded the DLR album "A Little Ain't Enough" and was poised to take over the rock guitar world when a nagging pain in his leg was diagnosed as ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease, a debilitating and fatal condition with a life expectancy of approximately five years.Jason did indeed lose the ability to play guitar, walk, talk, and breathe on his own. However, he never lost his will to live or his desire to create music. Communicating through a series of eye movements with a system developed by his father, Jason spells out words as well as musical notes and chords. He imparts his musical vision to his team, who then input the notes into a computer, edit the parts to his exacting standards, and generate charts for session musicians. Through this remarkable process, Jason composes his profoundly beautiful music, rich in melody and counterpoint, brimming with emotion. His inspiring music and life story have been the subject of countless news articles, magazine cover stories, and an award-winning documentary, "Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet."Not only is Jason still alive, but he's busier and more prolific than ever. His release, "Triumphant Hearts," showcases his gift for melody and deep knowledge of classical composition and orchestral arrangement. The album features Jason's signature, amazing guitar playing (recorded in the '80s and '90s) as well as performances by a who's-who of guitar virtuosos, including Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Neal Schon, Steve Morse, Paul Gilbert, Joe Bonamassa, and many others.Jason Becker isn't just an extraordinary musician; he's also one of the most positive, upbeat, and inspiring individuals alive. "I really feel lucky," says Jason. "I am surrounded by loving people, and I can still make music."DAVE LOPEZ Born in Chile, David Lopez's musical journey began when his brother introduced him to the world of guitar, rock, and Latin music. Growing up in Richmond, CA, Dave developed a passion for the diverse sounds of hip hop and heavy metal. Learning from the legendary musician and composer Jason Becker, Dave further honed his skills and later worked in studio management at the renowned Jackson St. Studios and Sound Wave Studios with artists ranging from 2Pac to Metallica. In 2003, he formed Flipsyde and toured worldwide with acts such as Snoop Dogg, Black Eyed Peas, and Busta Rhymes. Flipsyde's success included platinum and gold records, such as their 2005 debut album, "We the People" (Interscope). Their song "Someday" was chosen as a theme song by NBC for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games and appeared on the soundtrack for the 2008 film "Never Back Down."Jason Becker Creative Care Project Launch Party Fundraiser Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024, 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM Baltic Kiss, 135 Park Place, Point Richmond, CA 510-260-0571 https://www.baltickiss.com/ https://jasonbecker.com/

Among the many races Seattle voters will weigh in on during the upcoming election, there's a city council seat up for grabs. Current Position 8 Councilmember Tanya Woo is looking to defend against challenger Alexis Mercedes Rinck. While Woo and Rinck try to differentiate themselves down the home stretch, they have at least one thing in common. Both are the latest candidates to take part in an election experiment meant to level the financial playing field for office-seekers: Democracy Vouchers. If you live in Seattle, there's a good chance you opened up your mailbox during this election cycle, and pulled out an envelope containing these vouchers. The bright blue slips of paper are kind of reminiscent of Kohl's cash. Or Monopoly bucks. But instead of exchanging them to buy a new sweater or to capture Park Place, you can use them to donate to candidates running for local office, like the city council, mayor, and the city attorney. Next year, democracy vouchers are turning 10 years old.  Back in 2015, advocates made some ambitious promises about the potential of democracy vouchers: they would revolutionize campaign financing and inspire nontraditional candidates to run for office Voters will get to decide next year if they want to extend the democracy voucher program.  So - have democracy vouchers delivered on those promises?  Soundside host  Libby Denkmann sat down with one expert, Dr. Jennifer Heerwig, an associate professor at Stony Brook University in New York, to find out.  Dr. Heerwig has explored the impact of democracy vouchers in Seattle with a new book she co-authored, called Democracy Vouchers and the Promise of Fairer Elections in Seattle.   Guest Dr. Jennifer Heerwig, associate professor at Stony Brook University, and co-author of Democracy Vouchers and the Promise of Fairer Elections in Seattle.

For this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show podcast, we sat down with liquid cooling data center partners Park Place Technologies and ZutaCore. During the podcast, DCF Editor in Chief Matt Vincent spoke with Chris Carreiro, Chief Technology Officer for Park Place Technologies, and Manfreid Chua, Vice President-Business Development, AI & Sustainability for ZutaCore, about how the companies' partnership is enhancing liquid cooling technology prospects for sustainable AI computing. In September, Park Place announced the expansion of its portfolio of IT infrastructure services to include the two major liquid cooling formats for data centers, i.e immersion liquid cooling and direct-to-chip cooling. ZutaCore is a key developer and supplier of direct-to-chip, waterless liquid cooling technology which formally supports NVIDIA's GPUs. Direct-to-chip advanced liquid cooling technologies apply coolant directly to the server components that generate the most heat, including CPUs and GPUs. And Park Place notes that immersion cooling empowers data center operators to do more with less: less space and less energy. Using liquid cooling methods, the company contends that businesses can increase their PUE by up to 18 times, and rack density by up to 10 times. Ultimately, this level of efficiency can lead to power savings of up to 50%, which in turn leads to lower operational costs. Park Place also notes how, from an environmental perspective, liquid cooling is significantly more efficient than traditional air cooling. The company reckons that, at present, air cooling technology only captures 30% of the heat generated by the servers, compared to the 100% captured by immersion cooling, resulting in lower carbon emissions for businesses that opt for immersion cooling methods. Park Place prides itself on providing a single-vendor outlet for the whole liquid cooling technology adoption process, from procuring the hardware, conversion of the servers for liquid cooling, to installation, maintenance, monitoring and management of the hardware and the cooling technology. “Our turn-key liquid cooling offerings have the potential to have a significant impact on our customers' costs and carbon emissions, two of the key issues they face today,” said Carreiro.  “Park Place Technologies is ideally positioned to help organizations cut their data center operations costs, giving them the opportunity to re-invest in driving innovation across their businesses." In the course of our talk, Carreiro highlighted the challenges of data centers' AI sustainability conundrum, and the corresponding benefits of Park Place's warranties. For his part, ZutaCore's Manfreid Chua delved into the industry's shift from air to liquid cooling due to the demands of generative AI, and the advantages of his company partnering with Park Place for optimizing the energy efficiency footprint of data centers.  Additionally, Chua shared insights regarding the economic value of NVIDIA's AI accelerators, and the finer points of the race to sustainability and net zero for large-scale AI data centers. Chua talked about talk about how resources like land, energy, and water all become possible limiting factors for AI factories at scale, and how liquid cooling can help alleviate such limitations.

In this episode, we talk with Ian, Elijah, Tegan, and Mer from Headless Mary. I had a fantastic chat with the band about how they got started (including the story on their name) as well as chatting about their last album called Death Is A Moving Target. If you love music that touches that vibe of bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Hum, then Headless Mary is for you. We talked about songwriting, influences, music we are listening to, and our mutual infatuation with Radiohead. Along the way, we of course had to talk about pizza.   Their latest single “Park Place” will be on their new album called Pyres which comes out on Friday, August 23. You can pre-save over on Spotify. They will be celebrating the record release on Friday, August 23 at the Sanctuary in Hamtramck with Central Dogma (a future guest on Fans With Bands) who also have a new album coming. Opening the show is Saving Throw and Living AI.

Jon Saunders is a Cardiff legend for whom beer, booze and good times have delivered amazing highs and shocking lows in his life and career. An entrepreneurial hospitality expert in the first part of his career, he ran the legendary TigerTiger club in the Welsh capital before starting his own mini-empire of bars including 10 Mill Lane, Dead Canary and 29 Park Place. But, the empire didn't last, Jon went bust and had to pick himself up and start back from scratch. This is where he started to focus on the ethos that has formed the backbone of his new career - the "Crack On' spirit. It's what Jon is all about. Getting on and taking action to progress even when it is tough. Jon now has an impressive Crack On brand that includes Crack On Coaching (helping senior leaders and companies progress) and the Crack On Podcast (which he and I work on together). Jon knows the "other side of the bar" back to front (and he shares some fun stories from his experiences), but he's also seen the other, darker side of drinking itself. Admitting he had a problem with overdoing it on alcohol after several scary episodes... Jon made an important choice. He is now a non-drinker and hasn't touched alcohol in a decade. In this episode Jon is incredibly candid and shares the most amazing life lessons from painful moments in his life. This is a powerful and inspirational episode which hopefully will encourage anyone who listens to embrace their own highs and lows and find the strength to crack on.

“A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild: but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind. Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful and pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.” (James Allen, As a Man Thinketh, 1902).[i] On today's episode #315 and PART 2 of our REVIEW of Wallace D. Wattles The Science of Getting Rich, we will cover: ✔ REVIEW PART 1: Prosperity Thinking vs Poverty Thinking. ✔ Why are our thoughts so important for our results? ✔ Why are Chapters 4/14/7 important chapters for unlocking the "secrets" for wealth and abundance? ✔ Why must we THINK and ACT in a Certain Way to achieve certain results in our life? ✔ A look at 2 types of thinking with famous examples.  ✔ 3 STEPS for changing our Money Mindset. Which brings us to chapter 4 of Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich, published in 1910. “A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.” Mahatma Ghandi (an Indian lawyer who inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world). Bringing us to PART 2 of our Deep Dive into Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich. Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (that's finally being taught in our schools today) and emotional intelligence training (used in our modern workplaces) for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 5 years ago with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to uncover the most current research that would back up how the brain. On today's episode #315 we launch into a Deep Dive of Wallace D. Wattles The Science of Getting Rich starting with Chapters 4/14/7.  If you look at the image in the show notes, you will see a TABBED and very well-read Science of Getting Rich book. This was the book I sent to Paranormal Researcher, Ryan O'Neill from Scotland, UK over 10 years ago, instructing him to read this book, starting with Chapters 4/14/7[ii] for 90 days. He sent me this image of his book, all these years later, well-read and marked up, and his results (that we cover on our interview with Ryan on EP #203[iii]) are a byproduct of him doing things in this certain way, beginning with Chapter 4, The First Principle in the Science of Getting Rich that we will cover today. Next, we'll move onto chapter 14 on The Impression of Increase that is by far my favorite chapter in this book.  I love watching this principle in action in others, and then learning to practice this myself has been something that I think has given me some depth with my character over the years. We'll move back to Chapter 7 on Gratitude, that ties all these chapters together, before reviewing the other chapters of this book, and coming up with some action steps for implementing these timeless principles in our own lives. If you want a guide, I'll link a YouTube audio version of these SPECIAL chapters 4/14/7) in the show notes for you and if you look in the comment section, someone knew the power of these chapters in this order revealing their awareness when they wrote “thanks for the combination to the safe.” It's these three chapters that Bob Proctor would have EVERYONE study, in this order, and we would even form mastermind groups AFTER each seminar had concluded to ensure we read the book this way.   I'm still in contact with the two others I was assigned to meet with (back in 1999) and we would meet once a week, for 90 days, and read the chapters in this order. Chapters 4, 14 and 7. This practice bound us together for life. Whoever commented that this was “the combination to the safe” got it right. With deep understanding, we read these chapters, word for word, together, once a week, and then discussed how we were implementing the ideas into our life, or not. I remember I was in my late 20s, and I would read this book before the sun had come up, with the others in my group, (over the telephone) and this practice didn't just set me up for that year, but it set me up to Think and Act in this Certain Way, for the rest of my life. When I cover a book on the podcast, taking a Deep Dive like this, I'm doing so because I watched the contents of these book we cover change my own results, and hundreds of others around me, over the years. If you look at the Table of Contents FIRST. There are 17 simple and short chapters in this book that are all about breaking through the mental barriers of success, and that moving from the competitive mind, to the creative mind is integral to our success. How do we do this? We spent the whole Introduction (PART 1) explaining that we must first learn the principles for ourselves, and THEN we extend our hand out to help others. This is the whole idea of this book. It's a simple formula for success, that begins when we “think and act in this certain way.” What is that certain way? This is what we will be diving into with our study of each chapter. Chapter 4: The First Principle in the Science of Getting Rich. Remember this book is all about the syllabus, and how important our thinking is (because there is this thinking stuff from which all things are made…that's everywhere and a thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.” This chapter is about the importance of how we think. If we are going to “think and act” in a certain way, at the most fundamental level, it matters how and what we think about.    This chapter opens up with line 1 saying “thought is the only power that can produce tangible riches from the formless substance.”  We opened up this episode with James Allen's take on this, where he said by thinking in this certain way, we become “the master-gardener of our soul, the director of our life.” Therefore, THE FIRST PRINCIPLE in The Science of Getting Rich is that we must “think” in this certain way. What is this certain way, you ask? I've been thinking about this since I first heard this idea in 1999. I wanted to say “oh yeah, I think in this certain way” and let the high paying positions come to me! But this isn't how it happened for me. It seemed like this principle took me the longest time to actually implement. Knowing and Doing…are poles apart. Here's some clear examples: Person 1:  Drives by a car dealership (I'm going to use this example because it was the first example I heard in 1999). This person looks at the cars on the lot and thinks “oh wow, I love that red car and I'd love to buy it” and they drive off, and start thinking of how they are going to save up to buy this red car they've just seen. They might create a plan, and come back and visit the lot, and sit in the car, and maybe even test drive the car. Got it? We see how PERSON 1 thinks. Person 2: Drives by the car dealership and stops, takes out a notepad, and writes down some numbers. What's he writing you ask? He's taking note of how many cars fit on that specific lot, because he's thinking “how can I buy this lot?” He writes down 50 cars, and he's thinking about other ideas like, is there another lot nearby that I could buy if I eventually outgrow this lot? They write down some other things like “how much money can I also make from advertising” since there is a sign out front, and then they write down a number guessing at the cost of the land. WHAT TYPE OF THINKER ARE YOU? Can you see two distinct ways to think? How would YOU think if you drove past a car dealership today?  Are you PERSON 1 or PERSON 2? I know without a shadow of a doubt that I'm PERSON 1 and to get the details for PERSON 2, I had to ask someone who thinks in this way. Let me put some faces to two different types of thinkers who we've mentioned before on this podcast. DID YOU KNOW THAT: Walt Disney (who is kind of like Person 2 in our car dealership example) took his good friend Art Linkletter[iv] (a Canadian born radio and television personality) who surely had vision but his vision was different than Art's). Walt took Art to an open field near Orange County, California and pointed to the land and then told Linkletter of his vision for building a park for children. I talked about this with Dr. John Medina all the way back on EP #42[v] and I asked Dr. Medina about this and oddly enough, Dr. Medina said that he has a large poster of Walt Disney hanging up in his office. It was from a time when there was only one theme park (Disneyland which came first in Anaheim, CA in 1955). Disney World near Orlando hadn't been built yet (it opened in 1971) and it was a photo of a big swamp with Cinderella's Castle in the background. You see Walt Disney with an entrepreneurial grin, and the caption on the poster says “It's kinda fun, to do the impossible.” How Do You Change Your Way of Thinking? Isn't this the point of why we all listen to podcasts in the first place? We are looking for new ideas or ways of thinking. Something to give us a different result, when we do something in a different way. This is how we change our PARADIGMS and it takes time. This doesn't happen overnight. We also were not taught “how to think in this certain way” in school. We have to learn to live from “inside” our minds first, and I can tell you that I've been working on this way of thinking for over 25 years, and the more I learn, the more I realize I know so very little. It's a lifetime process, and involves dedication, time, effort and hard work. This is one of the main reasons why I host this podcast. Each week, as I release something that you the listener downloads, it also helps me and those close to me, since I'm getting a refresher as I'm writing each episode, and thinking of ways that we can ALL put what we are learning into practice. This is also why I chose the 6 Social and Emotional Learning Competencies to focus on for this podcast.  It appears that Self-Awareness is the key to making any change in our lives. We've got to first of all “know thyself” before we can “change thyself.” SELF-AWARENESS and THE 7 LEVELS OF AWARENESS We covered this concept in depth in Sept. 2022 when we first started our review of our past episodes with the goal of building a stronger 2.0 version of ourselves. On EP #247 we dove deep into our interview with Greg Link, who intentionally created a legacy by reading a book a week.  Since “95% of the decisions we make take place in the subconscious mind” (Deane Alban) it's crucial for our future results that we keep tending to the “garden of our mind” with continual study. This practice will keep us moving up the 7 Level of Awareness. We all begin at the same level, but it's our ability to “think” that moves us up these 7 Levels, away from following what everyone else is doing (STEP 2), to aspiration (STEP 3) where we “think” we are doing something (we aspire to  BE/DO or HAVE more in our lives) but we must keep moving forward for REAL change to occur. At STEP 4 we step out and take action on idea (we actually DO something), which brings us to STEP 5 since we will need to apply DISCIPLINE to stay in the game. Over time, STEP 6 we gain experience, that eventually leads us to STEP 7 Mastery. Going through these 7 Levels of Awareness requires that we THINK and ACT in a certain way, which is what Chapter 4 of The Science of Getting Rich is all about. If you look at the graphic of these 7 Levels of Awareness, it was in Chapter 4 that Bob Proctor would cover these. At the very top of this worksheet is the quote “to look on the appearance of poverty will produce corresponding forms in your own mind.” (Wallace D. Wattles). THINKING TRUTH REGARDLESS OF APPEARANCES So to THINK and ACT in a CERTAIN way, requires that we “THINK truth regardless of appearances.” (page 58, Ch 4, Science of Getting Rich) Wallace Wattles tells us in this chapter. I could talk about this concept for weeks, because I have honestly been thinking about this since 1999. We all have the ability to “think” we have already concluded, but some people “think” differently, or in a certain way, leading them to different results. I told you that I was not always someone who had prosperity thinking. How could I when I was raised to be careful with money, since it was scarce, and had to stretch far. Thinking there is enough (or even abundance) was a complete stretch for me, but over time, and many years, my paradigms about money have changed. HOW DO WE CHANGE OUR PROGRAMMING FROM POVERTY CONSCIOUSNESS TO PROSPERITY? The key is in this chapter. We need to be able to “think truth” (that there is an abundance of what we need) “regardless of appearances” (or what we can see with our eyes). I remember reading this passage thousands of times in our study, in those early days, because this one took us all, a very long time to grasp. My bank account is empty but you mean I should think there's money in it? There's no food in the fridge but you mean I should think food will come? They come when you learn to THINK AND ACT in this certain way. This isn't easy. I know and I remember. I remember when I first moved to the US (and I'm fully aware that we are not supposed to dwell on difficult times according to this book, but I will need to mention where I came from for you, the listener to understand). I came with an empty bank account, but a vision for what I would be doing. Of course the vision for what I wanted to do would take time, and we ALL start out in the same place which is LEVEL 1 on the 7 LEVELS of AWARENESS. I remember running out of gas as my car was going up a hill, and I had to pray the car would start again as the road evened out so I could get to a gas station and fill up the car. I also remember that I had $20 in my bank account to spend on gas, so the idea of “thinking truth” that there was enough money to cover what I need was a far stretch. But I did it, because I had no other option. I thought “truth regardless of appearance” and slowly, over time learned to THINK AND ACT in this certain way. In those early days I worked as a nanny at local resorts in Arizona, and I remember walking around beautiful resorts would help my ability to “think” in this certain way. You can't just “think” and not take action, so I worked hard, and looking back now, I had plenty of food in my fridge (always-it helped to shop at Costco where I could buy certain things in bulk), and was able to pay ALL of my bills. I used to line up the largest ones first in order on my desk, and when I had earned enough money to pay them, I moved onto the smaller, easier ones. Eventually life became easier, as I worked Chapter 13, Getting into the Right Business, but I did it all one step at a time, and followed these principles, believing that if I were to THINK AND ACT in this certain way (which we know is prosperity thinking, that there would always be enough) and this required me to “think truth regardless of appearances” since I didn't have money in my bank account at that time, but I'm sure we can all remember lean times like I'm talking about. We all experience them. I just want to show you how I turned it all around in my life, and it was a process, that occurred with time, but maybe if you are where I was right now, it might help you to think and act in a different way, to shorten the amount of time that you are here. The focus of this entire book is to expand our awareness, and open up the keyhole (or kick in the door) to reveal new possibilities on the other side. PUTTING CHAPTER 4 INTO ACTION: So how do we change our thinking and learn to “think truth (that there's abundance) regardless of appearances (when there is not)? I can only say that this chapter takes time. There is no way that anyone would have been able to convince me that my empty bank account would one day have plenty of money in it, (when I was down to my last $16 that would fill up my car with gas to get me home), or that I would have been able to see that paying my monthly bills (from working as a nanny) would be possible until I found a better way. I wouldn't have believed it unless I had actually lived it. Now, it's important for me to share this knowledge, so that others can do the same. I learned from being a parent that this skill must be taught, and there is a fine line here as we do not want to raise our children to be pretentious, immodest or assuming in life. We want our children to be outward focused, humble, modest and polite. It took me years to change my mindset (from poverty consciousness-that there is not enough to cover what I need to prosperity (that I have enough) expanding my level of awareness in this process. So How Do We Change Our Money Mindset? The late Doug Wead, presidential advisor, said it best when he said “We are not limited by money, but rather by the poverty of our own dreams.” Open up our minds to abundant thinking versus poverty. Here's how I took the FIRST Principle in The Science of Getting Rich, and began to teach this to my own children. The first time I heard one of my girls talking about money in terms of “what if we don't have enough” I knew it was time to put some focus on the timeless principles in this book. Here's what I would suggest to expand anyone's level of awareness around money. STEP 1: Know money looks and feels like. When you can't see or feel money, like when I only had $20 left in my bank account, it's hard to imagine there being an abundance of it. This is something I notice happens EVERY TIME I play Monopoly. This game is really about prosperity thinking and putting it in action. No one wants to play this game with me because I win this game every time. We must learn to Think and Act in a Certain way in REAL life, as well as in board games. It's really the same idea.  This again takes time and practice. None of these steps are going to quickly change your money mindset. Play Monopoly like you would play “your life” and watch what happens. You'll have more money than you know what to do with, and then you can share your wealth with others. In the beginning of the game, we all start out with the same amount of money, but the decisions we make throughout the game will determine who is able to earn more, and eventually wins the game, as they create an abundance. At the beginning of a Monopoly game, I've trained myself “to think truth regardless of appearances” I can “see” a vision of all the property I will buy (Park Place and Boardwalk will win the game for you) by earning you the rent from everyone who lands on the spaces you will buy and own. This concept became much more interesting when money became available in cryptocurrency, showing us that money can exist outside of physical bills or coins. We can NOW pay for things electronically, quickly sending money to people and vendors via systems like Zell, or PayPal. What we “think” of money in 2023 is much different than 50 years ago, but the concept is the same. It's an exchange for service rendered, and once you know what it looks like (whether it's physical bills, or a number in an account) it's much easier to be able to see it in your possession. STEP 2: Know how to earn money.  I love the quote “never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn” by Miguel de Cervantes.  When times were difficult in my 20s, I figured out how to earn the money I needed to live the life I wanted, from cleaning houses and working as a nanny. Using this experience, I now instill the idea of “working” for money with our children by giving them money for things they can do to help around the house, or with their skills and talents. If they can help me to solve a computer issue, or something technology based (where their level of thinking far surpasses mine) I will pay them for their knowledge. This teaches our next generation that when you take the time to study and learn something new, you can earn money for your knowledge. This job in the real world is called Being a Consultant, and can earn someone money in addition to whatever job they choose to spend their days doing. This is where the concept of earning income from multiple sources comes in, that we will cover in more depth in Chapter 6 How Riches Come to You. This concept that money circulates helps anyone to see how they can work for it, and rightfully have it. STEP 3: Know how to THINK TRUTH regardless of APPEARANCES. Remember that “every man has the natural and inherent power to think what he wants to think, but it requires far more effort to do so than it does to think the thoughts which are suggested by appearances.” I don't know WHEN this principle switched in my head, and I began living it, but I do remember it being “laborious” and it required “the expenditure of more power than any other work” (Wattles, Chapter 4) than I've ever had to perform. To think according to appearances is easy.  My bank account has $20 left, my fridge is empty, or I have no sales in my pipeline. It's easy to look at these things and think this is the way it's going to be. OR, we can implement this first timeless principle and create something else (first of all on the screen of your mind) and then second with action that you will take. Stop for a minute and look around. The clothes you are wearing were created in someone's mind FIRST, before they created the pattern and manufactured them. The car you are driving came first into the mind of Henry Ford, or if you are driving a Tesla, the mind of Elon Musk. Once you've learned to do this, you can relate to Walt Disney's entrepreneurial grin, as you begin to turn the impossible, into reality. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION To review and conclude PART 2 of our Deep Dive of Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich, we covered Chapter 4, and the first principle of learning to think and act in a certain way, and that's with prosperity thinking versus poverty thinking. Since “thought is the only power that can produce tangible riches from the formless substance” it matters what we think about. We looked at the importance of being able to Think Truth, regardless of appearance, even if this is the hardest work in the world. I gave the example of being able to think beyond what money I had in my bank account, and this concept can also be practiced with our health. Not at all to say we “think ” ourselves to health, but if we can learn to think and see ourselves as healthy, it's the first step towards using our mind (instead of the outside world) to create and shape our results. As we covered in PART 1 of our review, the message within the pages of The Science of Getting Rich is NOT to obtain money for ourselves, but to spend “money in meaningful ways—especially when it's used to benefit others” (Chapter 1 Neurowisdom, Waldman and Manning) and this is known to increase our satisfaction in life. As we are going through these chapters, my goal is to show us not how we can be good little go-getters, but how we use these principles to help ourselves first, and then, how to use them to benefit others. This is the true meaning behind The Science of Getting Rich and we will go deeper into taking the focus off ourselves on our next episode with Chapter 14, The Impression of Increase. Until then, I hope that you review how to change your money mindset, to improve your thinking first, and then help others you interact with. STEP 1: Know money looks and feels like. It's a different world in 2023 now that we have BitCoin and Cryptocurrency, but for this step, I like to grab a stack of bills (real or fake) and just know what it “feels like” to hold what I would consider to be “a lot” of money. The more I have practiced this concept, the easier it is for me to expand my thinking of what's a lot of money to me. In my late 20s, when I was running out of gas, $20 was a lot of money. With experience, my number has changed, but this is the key, to always be opening up the doorway and expanding where our thinking currently sits. Whatever you think is “a lot of money” see how it feels to put that amount in your wallet. Carry it around for a while. Before you know it, your amount will change, and you'll have expanded your thinking around money.  I saw an incredible example of this on Instagram with Grant Cardone who was teaching his children this concept with a game where he blind-folded his kids who were fishing for hundred dollar bills in a money-mindset game. I know that whatever money was “raised” with this game went to charity, but I know it also would have changed the money mindset of those kids. They will never look at a $100 bill the same way after seeing many of them on the table. There was plenty of them, and enough for all of them to gather them up, and give back to others. IMAGE CREDIT: Grant Cardone on Instagram  STEP 2: Know how to earn money. We will cover this one in more depth throughout this book study, but once we can see that money is an exchange for services rendered, we can open up to what services we can provide to help other people, that they would pay for. I remember paying a young high school kid (who was 17 at the time) how to code my first website. It was faster for me to work with him after school than it would have been for me to learn how to do this on my own, and this young man earned plenty of money with his knowledge and talents. STEP 3: Know how to THINK TRUTH regardless of APPEARANCES.  This is the hardest part of implementing this chapter, especially if you are where I was when my car ran out of gas. I had to go home, go to sleep and think “tomorrow is a new day” and that tomorrow I had the ability to create something new, something that only existed on the screen of my mind. And when tomorrow came, I always found work that I could do, that filled my bank account back up, (one check at a time) and kept me going. I remember at this specific time I was working as a nanny at a local resort in Arizona, and this was the BEST place for me to work on improving my money consciousness. I would walk around the resort, and see abundance everywhere. I would think “one day, I will have my own family and I'll bring them to a resort like this, and I'll relax in the lawn chairs and think of ways I can give back to others once I've done it myself.” This didn't happen right away. I had to master how to THINK TRUTH regardless of APPEARANCES first, and then had to get to work on what we will cover next week, The Impression of Increase. The Science of Getting Rich is a process. It is scientific and mathematical. It matters what we THINK about. With that thought, I'll close out PART 2 of our Deep Dive of Chapter 4 of The Science of Getting Rich, and will see you next week, with Chapter 14 on The Impression of Increase.   REFERENCES:   [i] As a Man Thinketh, by James Allen, 1902 https://www.amazon.com/As-Man-Thinketh-James-Allen/dp/1503055361   [ii] The Science of Getting Rich Chapters 4/14/7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPBdjiFBrJg   [iii]Neuroscience Meets SEL Podcast EPISODE #203 with Paranormal Researcher Ryan O'Neill https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/case-study-with-paranormal-researcher-ryan-o-neill-on-making-your-vision-a-reality/   [iv] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Linkletter   [v] Neuroscience Meets SEL Podcast EPISODE #42 with Dr. John Medina https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/dr-john-medina-on-implementing-brain-rules-in-the-schools-and-workplaces-of-the-future/

Community objections over the far-right views of brewery spokespeople have now driven two neighborhood groups and the city's planning commission to object to Armed Forces Brewing Company's requests for permits it needs to operate. City Council will have the final say.

I absolutely love hosting Unstoppable Mindset. I, and thus you, get to meet so many interesting and fascinating people. Jack Kountouris was born in London to a North Carolina mother and a father from Greece. He lived there until he came to the United States to attend college at Wake Forest. While in his Master's program he met a friend who had an interest, like Jack, in board games.   After college Jack and his friend decided to become business partners and formed Dimension Board Games in 2021. For a bit, Jack lived again in London while his friend lived in Denver Colorado. Jack took up a full-time career as an executive recruiter while working to help start the company. Life became easier in May of 2022 when Jack moved to West Los Angeles. Now at least the two partners were pretty much in the same relative time zones.   My time with Jack was especially interesting as Jack discusses challenges the two friends faced while starting and working to grow their business. He discusses openly the many challenges he faced as a new entrepreneur and he gives us some good lessons about how to move forward during trying times such as when the pandemic was at its height. I think you will find our time with Jack helpful and certainly inspiring.     About the Guest:   Jack Kountouris is a Greek-American entrepreneur who grew up in London and now aims to revolutionize the board game industry. With a unique cultural background stemming from his father's roots in Athens, Greece, and his mother's North Carolinian heritage, Jack brings a diverse perspective to the world of gaming.   Having spent his formative years immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of London, Jack developed a deep appreciation for art, creativity, and innovation. He obtained his bachelor's and master's degrees at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, and it was during this time that a simple pastime of playing board games with his friend ignited a spark of inspiration. Fueling their entrepreneurial spirit, they founded Dimension Board Games, and their first game, "Invasion: The Conquest of Kings," was released in May 2022.   Jack now lives in West Los Angeles, where he continues to innovate with his friend and business partner on new games while juggling a full-time career in the executive search industry. Through their captivating storytelling and immersive gameplay, they aim to leave a lasting legacy in the gaming industry for years to come.   With an indomitable entrepreneurial spirit, Jack Kountouris brings a business perspective to the emerging board game landscape, captivating audiences, and redefining what it means to deliver joy and excitement to players of all ages.

Welcome once again to unstoppable mindset. And today we get to have a conversation with a really interesting person at least I find him interesting, I think you're going to as well. You're going to hear some pretty unusual things that you haven't heard on unstoppable mindset before. But it's always good to stretch the envelope. And that's as always fun. Jack Kountouris is our guest today. Jack was born in London came over here to go to Wake Forest and earned his bachelor's and master's degree. He is an executive recruiter, we'll talk about that, because I think there's some relevance of that. But mostly, he has developed an interest. And I don't want to give it away. We'll get to it. But he's developed an interest which is incredibly fascinating. And I'm anxious to hear about it. I've never met someone who's doing some of the things that he's doing, but we'll get to that. Suspense right. Anyway, Jack, welcome to unstoppable mindset. We're glad to have you here.   Jack Kountouris ** 02:24 Hi, Michael. Thanks. It's a pleasure to be here.   Michael Hingson ** 02:27 So you, as you describe in your biography are Greek American, which is kind of fun. Father from Athens mother from was it North Carolina? Yeah.   Jack Kountouris ** 02:37 Mama from NC little town, in the Outer Banks,   Michael Hingson ** 02:40 and you didn't develop a North Carolina accent? Obviously.   Jack Kountouris ** 02:45 No, I never did. I did grow up in London. So my accent got a bit of a Britishness to it.   Michael Hingson ** 02:52 Well, there you go. Well, tell us a little bit about you. Maybe it's kind of the early Jack growing up and all that you grew up elsewhere. So that's always fun and fascinating to learn about. So I'd love to hear about the the younger Jack.   Jack Kountouris ** 03:04 Yeah, of course. Yeah. Happy to tell you. So basically, I was born in London, to an American mother and a Greek dad. So living living in the city. I was basically growing up there. I went there all throughout high school, primary school, secondary school, and then high school. And yeah, we would have vacations. Every summer we go to my dad's family in Greece, and we also visit my mom's family over in NC. Yeah, so at the time of me graduating high school, I was applying to UK as as well as US colleges. And because they had the all NC connection, I mean, my brother was actually at Duke at the time. So I had to be more in touch with my and move out there for college. So yeah, I chose wake and absolutely loved by Christ there. Stay there, find bachelors, and then my graduate degree.   Michael Hingson ** 04:02 What was Elementary and grim and high school like in London, how does it differ from what we experienced over here if you've had a chance to observe or learn more about that?   Jack Kountouris ** 04:14 Oh, yeah. So it's very similar to how Paulien wave was what you can imagine, I'm sure. Basically, education system absolutely loved it. We had school uniforms, which everything was restricted in in that way, but honestly, I liked having the uniforms because you didn't really have to stress about what you can wear every day. But yeah, absolutely loved the British system, and actually loved the friends I made made there. But actually, when it came to high school, I went to the American School in London. So they will that was more of an American System international system.   Michael Hingson ** 04:55 did well, of course, you did it in high school. So I mean, and happy exactly the same. But I know I studied German in high school and learned a lot about the whole German system. And one of the things that I learned is that they really emphasized over their learning a second language and English was one of the ones that they emphasized to the schools in London emphasize or encouraged a second language, or is that sort of the same thing as we see here?   Jack Kountouris ** 05:24 Yeah, actually, they strictly encourage it so much. I was doing French I actually switched to Spanish in around high school. But from a very early age, my primary school, we actually were learning Latin, which was a fundamental language, so they really wanted to drive language learning as early as possible.   Michael Hingson ** 05:45 Well on of course, we all know that learning languages earlier is probably easier and makes sense to do, which, which probably helps develop a broader view of the world by doing that, because I think over here, we don't tend to really encourage as much at least when I went to school, we didn't encourage as much the whole idea of necessarily learning a foreign language we, we did study some Spanish, but it wasn't really something that was greatly emphasized. So it's kind of interesting. And I learned various places in the world that in reality, it was different there than it was here.   Jack Kountouris ** 06:22 Exactly. And me doing London, me doing Latin, I think very early on, really helped me later on to develop my Spanish skills, my French, my ability to read French as well. And yeah, me just learning Latin at a very young age. really helped me develop those skills.   Michael Hingson ** 06:41 But you didn't learn to talk southern very well, huh? No, I'm not ready. I could do could really get too into.   Jack Kountouris ** 06:51 Yeah, I speak my accent and this the only thing comes out? Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 06:55 well, that's okay. What did you get your college degrees in?   Jack Kountouris ** 07:00 Yeah. So I wake first my Bachelor's my degree was in communication with a with minors in entrepreneurship and psychology as well.   Michael Hingson ** 07:12 And then masters,   Jack Kountouris ** 07:13 I'd say my master's was was in management,   Michael Hingson ** 07:16 management. Okay. And how, how have you used those since leaving college? You're an executive recruiter? And I would assume that in some ways, some of those skills are valuable.   Jack Kountouris ** 07:30 Yeah, well, actually, I recently thought about and I think like, my major and also my minors, they always they will come. They will come to me here in my everyday life now. Because as a recruiter, I'm communicating with people of like, all different, all different characteristics all the time. And, yeah, it's basically about helping people try and get the right job and vice versa, helping their jobs trying to get the right people to work new jobs. So definitely, it's more of a sales skill than I do use some psychology and like learning more about them and learning what they want. So yeah, recruiting and sales like I think it's a it's a great skill, to learn how to talk to people and learn to how to sell to people realize what they want, and see how you can help. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 08:20 well, I agree with you. It is a sales skill, and it's a good sales skill. And, for me, having sold most of my adult life, and I've worked with several recruiters, I appreciate the ones who really do it well do understand sales and the psychology of selling and the various aspects of that that really make a lot of sense. So I'm excited to, to hear that, that you're doing it and that you really do view it as kind of a sales position because I think that's absolutely correct. So it's something to definitely think about. So how has recruiting even find might ask, and this isn't something that was in your questions, but I bet you know a lot about it. How's recruiting evolved or changed with the whole advent of the pandemic?   Jack Kountouris ** 09:10 Yeah, so with the pandemic, it's been very cutthroat. I mean, I was lucky to be able to retain some forms during 2020. During the pandemic, of course, I was furloughed for that. But yeah, things in including not very cutthroat. It was a candidate LED market in a way but also company led in terms of not many companies were hiring, but there were lots of candidates out there who wanted who wanted to start working. And not a lot of them wants to move because who wants to move during pandemic FES you're in your job, then obviously, stay security job handling. Thing that things got really tough. The salaries and the rebate periods they weren't they were changed a lot make things a bit harder. But yeah, the thing of recruiting and sales is you just got to just gotta keep going. And eventually, it's law of averages, right? So eventually, the longer you do it, the more stressful come the you see   Michael Hingson ** 10:15 that things are opening more or becoming a little less stressful and the more jobs are becoming available as the pandemic, at least for the moment dies down.   Jack Kountouris ** 10:29 Yep, definitely, actually, I would say the pandemic 2020 Obviously, pandemic hit, and a lot of people lost their jobs. 2021 and 2022. People are still recovering, you could tell that some companies were were in the process of reinvigoration, and they were growing workforces again. But now in 2023, most companies are starting to start with a turn starting to do that rebuild.   Michael Hingson ** 10:58 Yeah, it's, it's going to be a challenge for a while, I sincerely hope that we don't see some other form of the virus come along that we can't deal with. So that we go back to the place where we were in 2020 and 2021. I know, I attended the National Federation of the Blind national convention in Las Vegas in 2019. But then, by the time, July came in 2020, when we would normally have a convention, of course, everything was locked down. So there was a virtual convention in 2020. And in 2021. In 2022, it opened a little bit more. So there was a hybrid kind of convention. I didn't go again, my wife was not doing really well. And she also had rheumatoid arthritis, which meant that the whole auto immune system wasn't as robust as it really needed to be. So I didn't want to put her in danger by going to the convention, and a lot of people actually did get COVID. Last year at the convention, I went this year, I didn't really hear a lot about many people actually didn't hear about anyone who was confined to the room because they caught COVID at the convention, which I thought was good. But I think at the same time, we do need to be pretty cautious about it all.   Jack Kountouris ** 12:19 Very cautious. I mean, who wants a number of very young teachers come out of nowhere?   Michael Hingson ** 12:24 Yeah. And the problem is that, that it can if some strange thing occurs, so we'll see. But I'm, I'm really happy and excited to hear that things are starting to open and it makes your job a little bit easier. Because not only do you have candidates, but you have places to start to put them which is of course what you want to do.   Jack Kountouris ** 12:48 Yes, of course.   Michael Hingson ** 12:49 So at the same time, however, when you were at Wake Forest, you developed an interest in something else, we sort of alluded to it without talking about it. We'll call it the elephant in the room. It's the fun thing in the room. But why don't you? You know, tell us a little bit about how you got into it and what it's all about?   Jack Kountouris ** 13:13 Yeah, the fun elephant in the room? Yeah. Obviously. Well, so me and my friend in business school, we loved playing board games a lot. And, and eventually, we were like playing board games. And we were thinking about, okay, how can we make this board game different? How can we make our own spin on this board game? Yeah. So eventually, we were developing and developing a new game. And then after graduation, of course, that was when COVID was at its height. So we will just indoors, we had to wait to no social life. So just being in the room all the time. So yeah, we took it amongst ourselves to just use that free time, that surplus free time, we had to just develop the board game and actually make a product, make a business and get it out there.   Michael Hingson ** 14:03 So tell us about the business and what you have so far.   Jack Kountouris ** 14:07 Of course, well, so the business we we have is a cold dimension bowl games. Our first board game invasion, the conquest of kings, was actually released last May. And we have around like hundreds of customers right now. They primarily nationwide, but some in the UK and some as well in Europe. But yeah, we still have that one game that's going strong sales are going strong for the net. But we also have a couple others in development. Of course, it's still very early on for these, a couple of games, a couple of expansions that we have in plans for the next couple of years   Michael Hingson ** 14:46 in the world of technology and so on why board games as opposed to maybe creating an electronic game?   Jack Kountouris ** 14:55 Yeah, so actually, this ties into what we talked about, about the pandemic Because mostly we're just stuck inside, we actually read so many articles about how board games were bringing people together how board games like board games offered, offered something that you couldn't really get like virtually. And if you were to stay indoors, at nights when board games came lots of popular I mean, it was a way to have your friends hang out of family without really having to go outside. So yeah, we actually saw in articles there actually a spike in both games during the pandemic. And also earlier, we noticed that the board games was a huge market. I mean, there was a there were particular niches around combat strategy board games, or uncooperative board games. And yeah, there was a huge market to take opportunity of.   Michael Hingson ** 15:51 So you, you created a game. And so it got published, sort of more when the pandemic was was slowing down, but you're seeing still pretty good sales of it, and so on. Yeah, so   Jack Kountouris ** 16:09 pretty good. We're going to a few conventions were up in is social media. So Instagram, followership, and conduct out? But yeah, primarily, conventions we're doing? We're still seeing the ad interest. We've gotten a couple of views from BoardGameGeek reviewers, and from just board game, people that habit. So yeah, we're seeing some success out there, we definitely have a game that people people really tend to enjoy. And actually, when you know, you have the product that people like, I mean, that's, that's good to get going with that.   Michael Hingson ** 16:48 What kind of comments are you getting about invaders?   Jack Kountouris ** 16:54 Yes, so we're getting, we're getting good reviews, I mean, we'd get we're getting some like, some area of critiques. Obviously, it was just me and my friends. So prior to that, we have no book, we have no board game experience in development. And we didn't really use Kickstarter, and most board games that are becoming new use Kickstarter, that's where they get the border map, or word of mouth. So us not using Kickstarter and choosing the Self Publish. That was already, in my opinion, a big hurdle that we had to accomplish. But yeah, once we got the reviews coming in, we actually got good, better insights. People who had reviewed like combat strategy games, before, they talked about our Resource Management, they talked about a combat system, there was actually one review we got, and the only downside of it was the size of a box. So yeah, people generally seem to get and seem to like our game. But on the flip side of that, obviously, there were some mistakes were made, like, little mistakes, and like the rule book and all that. And that just comes from us not having the experience of writing rule books of doing design of doing art for the bucks. So yeah, definitely, I will just improve and stuff to learn from for our next few games.   Michael Hingson ** 18:21 So what did you learn about what you did wrong? And what did you do wrong as far as creating the rules? And what would you do differently next time?   Jack Kountouris ** 18:30 Yeah, so what we did is we did like a primary primary rulebook. But yeah, what some people have been saying is, we need more like a reference guide. So what our rule but did is it did a good job in explaining the nuts and bolts of the rules. But it didn't, it didn't like the right really provide reference that you could use here in the game. And that's what it's all about. Because when you're when you haven't about the game, and you sign a game from scratch, it's like you need to you need to go to a rulebook every other time to remember this just for reference for the   Michael Hingson ** 19:07 for the rules, until you get used to it. Exactly.   Jack Kountouris ** 19:11 So adoption. That's the thing we've been working on a lot.   Michael Hingson ** 19:16 So the next time do you think you would use Kickstarter? Does that do you think give you any advantages that you didn't get to utilize in developing the first game?   Jack Kountouris ** 19:28 Yeah, so primarily, the advantage of Kickstarter that we missed out on was just the word of mouth because bought in geek that that's why the whole community of board gamers and particularly our target market demographic is and they advertised Kickstarter a lot. So they would have games like people don't even play and people just see on Kickstarter, feeling like it's interesting. And that's where you get the word of mouth. That's where you get investment as well. So I think for next few games, we We'll definitely think about about Kickstarter. Because obviously, when you have a product like this as, as opposed to a service, that means word of mouth is really everything you need to do everything you can to sell that product.   Michael Hingson ** 20:16 And in a sense, you get to generate some revenue upfront, which also helps you start to see how much interest there might be in the game.   Jack Kountouris ** 20:27 Exactly, yes. And yeah, that money aspect of it. It's it's definitely a major factor. Yeah, if there's investment in the original kick slow, that means, okay, we've got something then that gives us so much confidence. So yeah, I think definitely, that's, that's the primary thing we have learned from self publishing. So we can progress in the future.   Michael Hingson ** 20:53 As anyone yet or any company approached you to talk about, gee, maybe we should buy this and make it a bigger thing, or have you gotten to that kind of point yet?   Jack Kountouris ** 21:06 No, yeah, we're not we're not there yet. Yeah, I mean, we have talked to like retailers brick and mortar brick and mortars, but no, like, really serious conversations yet? Yeah. Who knows? Eventually, something like that might happen.   Michael Hingson ** 21:22 Have you looked at major resale or sales places where you can get them to pick up the game and sell it?   Jack Kountouris ** 21:31 Of course, and and many of the convention actually, we've done have been taken place at board game stores. We have one influencer, actually who her son runs a board game store. So when we had him review again, he actually published he actually split the games board games store. So lots of customers could come up. So yeah, board game stores, cafes, board, game cafes like that. And conventions, anywhere, we can display the game really. So people public can go buy it and say, Hey, that's a game. I don't know that. That's   Michael Hingson ** 22:06 a modality. And again, the name of the game is   Jack Kountouris ** 22:10 invasion, that Congress, the Kings,   Michael Hingson ** 22:12 the conquest of kings, which is intriguing in of itself, which, which is great. I know that in terms of doing something like this, there had to be a lot of logistics, a lot of coordination. So you and your friend, I gather both went to Wake Forest.   Jack Kountouris ** 22:33 Yes, in a master's program, we both did the masters and management. Cool.   Michael Hingson ** 22:39 And so what really got you to decide that you wanted to start a company, because that's a pretty major decision. And I appreciate that you, you too, were in an environment where certainly doing something like this could be encouraged. But what made you decide to really knuckle down and go through the rigors of starting a company?   Jack Kountouris ** 23:01 Yeah, so I remember on your earlier question, I talked about my communication and how I use the psychology mind I had. But also this is where that entrepreneurship minor ad came in. I did so much at Wake Forest, in terms of entrepreneurship, I kind of like really knew that at some point, there will be some product or some service that I would just, I would just take and run with. And honestly, I didn't really know it will be a board game until the opportunity. Opportunity came along. I mean, I really wasn't a board gamer before I met my friend from from the business school. So yeah, I think the opportunity arose because we were in business school, we have that atmosphere of like learning and requiring something better. And we had the business acumen as well, we were being taught every day. And yeah, we had the passion as well. So if you take the passion and combine it with business, it really makes for good environment and good atmosphere to actually take something, take something you love and run with it in the sense that you can actually make it make it something.   Michael Hingson ** 24:14 What's the name of your company?   Jack Kountouris ** 24:16 It's dimension board games.   Michael Hingson ** 24:18 That's right dimension board games. So people go look for Dimension board games and by invasion, the conquest of kings. But anyway, that's another story. We'll leave that for people to do. But I go back to the question about electronic versions of games. One of the things that I've noticed, and even in some games that are accessible for for blind people, one of the things that I see with electronic games is you can buy more things or buy tokens or pay to get more resources and so on. Does any of that kind of thing exist in the board game world or is that something that you think is really necessary to would focus on that would give you some additional revenue?   Jack Kountouris ** 25:04 Yeah, of course. So we have thought about certain add ons like that maybe you can add like more pieces add, like, add things to establish other abilities in the game. And we have definitely thought about in the long run, but right now we we just want to keep at the physical physical board game. Eventually, when we get popular, I mean, it's not if it's when we get popular, when we have a follower base, when we have that those many people playing our game, we will think about introducing something like that where people can really be on the lookout for for add ons for extra abilities and all that for the game. But uh, yeah, right now we just have a main focus on just just word of mouth and getting our games out there.   Michael Hingson ** 25:53 So what was it like starting a company with a friend I mean, it was an adventure. And I regard life as an adventure. So clearly, you all the two of you started on on a great adventure, and you've stuck with it. And that doesn't always happen either. So you guys obviously get along? Well?   Jack Kountouris ** 26:12 Yeah, we do. I mean, it was, it was really fun working with one of my best friends, and still really is fun to work with one of our best friends. Right now. We still do play tests, we still talk about the business, we still talk about new games we will have in production. But yeah, it was great not just to have a friend as a partner. But Tableau have a partner in general, it means that you're not really alone in innovation that you have when you have someone else who's who's working on the same thing. Makes you not have those anxieties and have that belief. Okay, I believe it. There's also someone else who believes it. So it makes you have more confidence in what you're wanting to do. And yeah, obviously working with my mom, our best friends, it was it was fantastic. And we had the we have like similar personalities well, so he can always like, talk off of each other and always build on each other. And yeah, it was absolutely fantastic.   Michael Hingson ** 27:14 So where does your friend lives? He actually   Jack Kountouris ** 27:17 moved out to Denver, Colorado after graduation for Mike,   Michael Hingson ** 27:22 and what got you to Los Angeles?   Jack Kountouris ** 27:25 Well, after my graduation from work, I actually went back to London for a little bit. I worked in London, as a recruiter, I started my recruitment career. And then eventually, this past year, just over one year now, one year ago now, while my companies in London, they were opening a new LA office. So I was still young enough to take the road Shanthi I'd always thought about maybe trying out the west coast and trying out in LA. So yeah, I basically my boss was moving a few of us to start over that office in LA and I was on with the lungs shows. So we saw the LA office. And that's that's how I moved.   Michael Hingson ** 28:09 And so in a sense, it isn't is challenging from a timezone standpoint is it might be because you're only an hour difference.   Jack Kountouris ** 28:19 So now, now, it's really not as you come out when I was in London, and my friend was in Denver, a seven hour gap. Yeah, that was that was that was hard to do. But now it's much better with us only we won't be in one hour apart. So whenever I want to talk about a new game idea, or talk about it and you new marketing strategy, I can just call them and we can say, oh, that's that's capable of having to call each other.   Michael Hingson ** 28:49 Do you do that on the phone? Or on Zoom? Or how do you generally chat?   Jack Kountouris ** 28:54 When generally and zoom when, because you   Michael Hingson ** 28:57 can cat video easily just maybe   Jack Kountouris ** 28:58 an idea of what we'll do a phone call but but generally it has been zoom. So we can really like brainstorm every little idea we have. Make sure it's make sure we're doing well. But   Michael Hingson ** 29:12 yeah, and you can you can see each other which makes a lot of sense.   Jack Kountouris ** 29:16 Exactly, exactly.   Michael Hingson ** 29:19 So what kind of challenges though do you face since you have a full time job? And we appreciate I gather, you're probably taking some time from your full time job to be here this afternoon since it's only about four o'clock in the afternoon, but what kind of challenges do you face and issues do you have to encounter when you've got a full time job? Yet? You're trying to run a company which can also probably be somewhat of a full time job as well.   Jack Kountouris ** 29:49 Yeah, definitely. It's it's a struggle taking the time, and especially since I moved so recently, so when I just moved to LA and this was like last night Summer, it was it was tough to get going to know I had the job. But no, also we had to keep the ball game business going. So took a lot of like strict, regimented, scheduling. And just, I've list like, right by me on my wall of everyday things I need to do after work things I need to shake off after work every day. So yeah, you just need to be strict and regimented about it. And honestly, like, it was tough signing it up tough when I had the change. But when I, when I applied myself, and gotten in the habit of it, it really didn't become as time consuming.   Michael Hingson ** 30:41 So dimension board games started in what 2022? Was it   Jack Kountouris ** 30:47 started in starting 2021. Actually, 2021 innovation was released in 2020. Right?   Michael Hingson ** 30:53 But in 2021, you were still over in London,   Jack Kountouris ** 30:57 2021, I was still over in London, my friend was in Denver. And that's when that's when predominantly most of the game development and operations stuff happened. So that was a real challenge released in May of last year.   Michael Hingson ** 31:14 So that was a real challenge, though, because then you did have the timezone issues of being seven hours apart. That must have been fun.   Jack Kountouris ** 31:22 Yeah, that was that was really fun. And I'm sure you know this, but because Denver seven hours behind that's basically meant that because I had a full time job on weekdays, we can't do anything, because because when I came back from work, he was at work and vice versa. And when he came back from work, I was asleep. So that basically meant Saturdays, Sundays and Fridays night and Friday nights were the most optimal time to have those zoom meetings began. Again, this was when we were we were just regrouping from the pandemic. So I socialized we're still trying to get back there. So it was easier to to damage these communications.   Michael Hingson ** 32:09 Yeah, certainly is easier now. Now. Do you have a family? A wife or anything?   Jack Kountouris ** 32:16 Yeah, so that's, that's, that's a good question. Yeah, I have I have a life.   Michael Hingson ** 32:23 Are you married or anything like that? No, I'm not. So So you still have more of your own time than if you had a wife and a family that you'd have to deal with? So that probably helps a little bit too.   Jack Kountouris ** 32:36 Exactly. Yeah, that did help. Yeah. For me, like family was just my parents, my brother and my sister in law, my grandma granddad, my grandma. Yeah, no, no girlfriend yet.   Michael Hingson ** 32:49 No girlfriend yet, someday, but it'll happen. I know, for me, my wife passed away last November and my time became more my own. So working with accessiBe, which is in Israel 10 hours ahead. Sometimes, we get meetings very early in the morning, my time because they're 10 hours ahead. And so, for example, yesterday on Sunday, I had a meeting at seven in the morning, Sunday, this just yesterday. And it's easier to do when I know I don't have to worry about disturbing somebody else, just waking up a dog and a cat and they cope. But with a family when we were married for 40 years, it was always the thought of working in one place. And oftentimes I would be on one coast and company would be on the other coast. And I was transferred to various places to do things for companies. That happened through the World Trade Center. And of course, being in the World Trade Center on September 11. And then it wasn't such an issue because although I did for a while before September 11 work for companies when I was in New York, and they were in California, afterward, it was much more an issue where we were able to deal with stuff a lot closer. So I worked in, in California in Northern California for Guide Dogs for the Blind for a while, but we live there. And then afterward, it was just me running my own business that Michael Hingson group, so we didn't have to really be so challenged by different time zones. Until accessiBe came along, which they did in January of 2021. So for two years, it was a little bit of an issue or almost two years. But you know, there is something to be said for your own time. And so you can really do things on your schedule and you do have a friend you have to work with but still you guys are obviously working it out.   Jack Kountouris ** 34:44 Yeah, we're trying. It's a struggle sometimes. But it's really great working with all my best friends and it's really great. Doing something that you love and when you're in the business of fun and games it's it's really hard to separate the fun from the business.   Michael Hingson ** 35:01 Well, hopefully the business becomes fun. Yep.   Jack Kountouris ** 35:07 It's it's starting to be like we're seeing we're seeing the success coming. And that's, that's fantastic. Plus now,   Michael Hingson ** 35:15 that is exciting. It's a great thing to be able to do. So what are you learning from your first game? And as you go into future games, what are you learning about game development? There's a lot that obviously has to go into it. So what makes a perfect game? And how do you get there?   Jack Kountouris ** 35:32 Oh, yeah, so so much stuff that goes into it. So many mistakes, people land on Yang, game game development, specifically, it's a lot of trial and error, a lot of looking after loopholes and really gets tedious sometimes. But yeah, to to give you give you a little bit of perspective, one of the things one of the ways that me and my friend works so much together is he has, so he has the knack for, for thinking big and a knack for thinking of the big thinking of the big ideas, starting like out wide. And I've not to like bring him bring him in. So having the small ideas. So what I do generally is find the loopholes. So what he would do is he he'd say, okay, Jack, I got an amazing idea. And then we'd be brainstorming a lot. And we'd be thinking about how to make that idea. accessible in the game, make the idea work out. So it's not too much in gameplay, not too much, you understand that? It can work out in the game in the physical hand game when they align too many loopholes to take advantage of.   Michael Hingson ** 36:45 So do you get to the point is you're developing the game where you actually, the two of you just spend time playing the game to look for the loopholes, or the things that are working or not working?   Jack Kountouris ** 36:59 Yeah, actually, that's predominantly what is all about. So I would say that there's one stage on which is thinking, thinking ideas, getting ideas from all over the place. And then we enter another stage where we take all those ideas, and like, what, maybe one by one or two by two, so we make sure that no ideas like convoluted with each other, we will test them out. And we will see how it works in the game and see if there's a way to make it simpler. Because one of the things we were noting in game development was there was a time where our game was super complicated and super, super long as well. This was very early on. So when we were really just out of ideation, really. So every, there was a point that every play test we made, we developed like little nuances to make the game simpler and make the game shorter.   Michael Hingson ** 37:59 How long does it take to play the game? Now, if someone sits down or some people, how many people can play it at one time on the board?   Jack Kountouris ** 38:10 So yeah, the base game is three to four, but it can be played with five as well as six to base game is three, four players Tamriel played with two players in the world. But it really hits a smooth point with three, four or five players.   Michael Hingson ** 38:26 How long does it take to play a complete game?   Jack Kountouris ** 38:29 It here's the thing it read really depends. Actually. Our game is military combat. So it depends what the characteristics of the players. So if if there are four players playing who are who are really outright combat and really aggressive from from the beginning, it's a shorter game.   Michael Hingson ** 38:48 Somebody gets killed off soon. Yeah,   Jack Kountouris ** 38:51 of course. And that happened that happened a lot of times. And yeah, on the flip side, if there if there was a game where for people who like really, really like to build up their kingdoms before they fight and really want to be be cautious about that about fighting, then you have the longer games. Usually average is about two hours, maybe two and a half. But if it's your first time trying to figure out the rulebook, it's not too   Michael Hingson ** 39:18 bad. It's a it's an evenings entertainment.   Jack Kountouris ** 39:23 Exactly. And then some games out there. Some games I love out there that I love them. But that seven hours, eight hours. It's insane sometimes.   Michael Hingson ** 39:33 Yeah, I like Monopoly and monopoly you can do fairly quickly in a couple of hours and have a lot of fun with it. But the world has advanced a lot since Atlantic City and Boardwalk and Park Place. Yeah. So what what's the basic premise? Or what's the process of the game? Can you tell us a little bit about the plot and so on?   Jack Kountouris ** 39:53 Yeah, so the basic premise of the game is you have the medieval can them. So you have a kingdom of castles and roads and castle walls between castles. So you try to build that up. And the way the map is you have the resources. And the resources are inherently in the map. So the placement of your castles and where you build your castle where you build your roads, they get you that those resources and they really, they really help develop, okay, who you'll be as an empire, what kind of resources you getting. And then the next slide, which will combat aspect of it, is you have a king. And also you have soldiers who kind of follow the king and the aim of the game was to be able to take other kings crowns. And the way you do actually you use the soldiers going along with the king to create armies and all that try to siege people's castle that and try to kill people's kings kill people's armies. So yeah, that there are really two, two parts of the game that the first half of it or should I say first third of it, is just building up your kingdom, trying to manage the resource you're getting. And then the next two thirds, you're getting into siege and castles getting into getting castles and getting into actual combat which which is is fantastic. It's a fantastic way to the game.   Michael Hingson ** 41:17 So all kings no women.   Jack Kountouris ** 41:20 Yeah, so that's the thing. We did think about doing, like Queen peace and maybe for the expansions. But because we just wanted one, one overarching piece to be like the most important thing. We're like between names. And then we think of it like King King was King seemed so perfect. We weren't thinking about that as a downside. Is it? Maybe not. Not general Germany equal. But yeah, we were thinking about games like chess. Well, obviously, the king is the main piece that you have to you have to take to win the game. So you're like, Okay, it's medieval. People understand that the king is the main piece. So yeah, right. Okay, that name   Michael Hingson ** 42:05 at the same time. And chess, the queen is probably the most powerful piece on the board. Oh, yeah. So well, well, so the real question is, the very serious question is, who wins most of the games? You are your friend?   Jack Kountouris ** 42:20 Oh, I can say quite confidently. I do. There you go. Actually, it was it was funny in the in the very beginning, it was having such a hard time with the game. In the VA, in the very beginning, there was such a disparity between me and him. But yeah, occasionally, like he got good. And now we're like really equal at the game. So yeah, I won't answer who wins between me and him. But between me, him and two other friends, it's usually either me or him who went,   Michael Hingson ** 42:54 there you go. Well, the other part about it is though, you each bring, it sounds like different skills to the company and different skills to the game design, which is great, because you feed off each other. Exactly, we feed   Jack Kountouris ** 43:09 on each other, feed off each other. And it's amazing, like personally and professionally. And in the games where we feed each other. And whenever he thinks an idea, it's like I think of the idea at the same time. We like easily able to like like connect, and really. So he says, Oh, I have this idea. And then I listen and say Oh, whatever. And he's like I was just thinking of that. And it's just great to because once we start that train, it's like I I am crane. So we started different locations. But we just come together with the days we're having, and it's fantastic to be able to brainstorm like that.   Michael Hingson ** 43:51 Yeah. And it's always great when you have somebody, somebody who can really work with you that well, you guys were very fortunate that you found each other and are able to put all of this together.   Jack Kountouris ** 44:07 Exactly, yes.   Michael Hingson ** 44:09 So in in the whole process of constructing the game, where's the where's the game actually manufactured these days?   Jack Kountouris ** 44:18 So the game was originally manufactured in China. I mean, we were we were looking into into local local manufacturers. But honestly, for the money purposes, China was a blast. So the way we haven't worked is we had the units manufactured in China. And then we store them in different phone centers, one on the West Coast and one near the east coast as well so we can easily be able to distribute to our customers.   Michael Hingson ** 44:46 What I was wondering. And the reason I asked the question is what kind of affected the pandemic have for you in terms of supply chains and all that and especially since You came in as far as having a game on the market, closer to the end of the pandemic, but still, we keep hearing about supply chain problems and all that. So how's that affected you? And how have you dealt with it?   Jack Kountouris ** 45:13 Of course, like I'd say, even though our game was actually released, like, towards the end of the pandemic, we are in the midst of we are in the midst of development, and we and they were in the midst of production all throughout 2021, even 2020. Yeah, so supply chains were huge problem, especially having a ship from China. Huge shipping delays. And it really was tough to really work it out. So initially, we actually opened up pre orders, open pre orders for the game in November of 2021, just to get the holiday holiday customers. But yeah, because of the supply chains, and because of problems with production overseas, and delays and delays. It wasn't until May. And this is late May that he was actually producing it was actually available. So unfortunately, we had some customers who had pre ordered the game for the holidays in December, and only were able to get the game in May. But uh, yeah, it really was tough to work out.   Michael Hingson ** 46:21 How about now are more of the supply chain issues and so on? less of a problem.   Jack Kountouris ** 46:29 So you know, it's less of that problem. But it's it's a it's a different problem. Really. It's it's obviously like, like political situations and all that. It's, it's still a problem, like getting the shipping on time, huge delays, price increases, well, we're worth manufactories B, it's a different problem than pandemic was. So everything that was lingering from the pandemic guy in supply chains, I think that's that's become minimized.   Michael Hingson ** 47:02 But things seem to be going along pretty well. Right now, though, overall.   Jack Kountouris ** 47:09 As well as it can be. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 47:11 Do you see improving, though, over time, or is it just kind of a steady state of challenges of one sort or another, but you're able to cope with them?   Jack Kountouris ** 47:22 Yeah, status? I think the latter, honestly, sleep challenges. I mean, what were aware of the problems? We manufactured our first game in China. But yeah, honestly, like stuff has made us wonder. The second or maybe third is we'll try to manufacture them locally. Because, yeah, China, that was obviously when we were scrounging for money. And we were no, you're looking for investment. And, and the price in China was easy to manufacture. But just to optimize shipping and optimize time and all that we might be looking for affordable options that are local to the states and in the country to help speed things up rate.   Michael Hingson ** 48:06 How much does the game cost if one wants to buy it?   Jack Kountouris ** 48:09 Yes. So the game goes format goes for market rate of 59 $99. We do have continual seasonal discounts going on, at least discount for I think 30% We had another 20% discount at some point earlier this year. So yeah, we do run discounts every now and then our Instagram channels and Facebook platforms.   Michael Hingson ** 48:37 Well, is it is it a game that's also available on places like Amazon, which is obviously a big selling potential place?   Jack Kountouris ** 48:47 Now it is known among nationally. What we're doing is like E commerce. Because we're still in that stage. We're just getting a word of mouth from just getting the start. But yeah, we have looked at Amazon foam and Amazon FBA and so many hurdles to jump through. It's it's a plan, but it's a plan for the future.   Michael Hingson ** 49:10 What did you do to stand out? Um, clearly there are a lot of board games, there are a lot of demands that are being put on people's attentions and so on. What did you do to stand out to get people to pay attention to invasion?   Jack Kountouris ** 49:27 Mason? Yeah, that's a very good question. So that was I talked about how we didn't do a Kickstarter how we didn't really have to word of mouth. So that was already like, we were starting with, we assign a 15 back 15 feet back from the sideline there. And it was it was really tough to get the word of mouth. But yeah, I think the main stuff for us is we'd have we'd have influences we have with us we got on board games cake. We have people that we ask for review of the game, obviously in the beginning and the word of mouth Ain't from like friends and family. But yet it's one of those things. And we have the conventions as well. But the form of those things that you need to slow and steady wins the race, right? You need to begin from like nothing and you need to slowly build it up like an Instagram posts a day in the in the very beginning and really wasn't doing much. But now it's really getting more traction as we have more photo followership. And now we have more views on both games tickets more reputable and more credible for for people in the board games community. And, yeah, so pretty much slow and steady, slow and steady wins the race.   Michael Hingson ** 50:42 You said something earlier than say you didn't do anything with Kickstarter, and this and so on you self published, which I appreciate. But what comes to mind is that what you are doing, and what is being done is regarding your game, very much like what goes into typical publishing, especially if you're doing self publishing, you got to do all the marketing, you've got to do all the demand creation, and so on. And so I'm hearing from you the same things that I hear from a lot of people we did with with my second book that we sell published, but even our first book, you have to be involved in the marketing habit. And you're gonna always be the best salespeople for the for the game.   Jack Kountouris ** 51:29 Yeah, of course. And me, again, being being a recruiter, as my job my day job, it really brings out this this salesperson in me and I'm selling something I love. So I speak to the credibility of it. But yeah, Kickstarter, when you take power that way, it's pretty much a marketing platform. So we just had to do that without the board game community behind us. So that was the that was a hurdle for us.   Michael Hingson ** 52:00 How large is the board game community? I mean, you, you've indicated the board games are still very popular. But how large? Is it compared to like electronic games and so on? Or is it just two completely different worlds? So it doesn't really give you the ability to compare the two.   Jack Kountouris ** 52:18 So it is different? Well, you can't really make a direct comparison between the two. But it's a it's a large community. I mean, if you go on board games gig gaming caravan, or the community does their communities out there on Discord and such, there's so many board games, so many niche board games, and especially indie board games in the board, new creators. So many people just create board games, just like that. Get get board games out there. So often. It's really like an enrich community. There's so much out there so many niches of board games, resource boundary and combat cooperative, competitive. It's really a huge fantasy. Yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 53:03 And so the more you can do to break in and come up with plots that are going to intrigue people, the better it is.   Jack Kountouris ** 53:10 Exactly, exactly. You just need to need to have game ideas and given to people.   Michael Hingson ** 53:17 We talked before this podcast last time we met about making it accessible. And I would love to explore how and if it would be doable to make the game accessible. So blind people could play it. And there are some people that, that do some things and making card games and other games successful. So it's something to explore, not sure that it would be a huge market as such, but it would be great if, when in the future, you produce games, you can make them accessible right from the outset. So you have one game that everyone can play, whether they can see the board, or feel the board, and that you just have the same game that's available for both. And I still think that that's the best way to deal with accessibility rather than having a different product for, say people who are blind as opposed to people who are not it. It's a unique sort of thing, but it would make for a very interesting discussion point and dialogue.   Jack Kountouris ** 54:17 Oh, yeah, exactly. I mean, different different things we can do. Obviously, we have the rulebook. And if we can transfer it to braille, and I really becomes in our game, like I'm going to make the comparison to chess. Although there are some people who who know chess so much they can picture board in their heads, they can picture it and they can just make the move in their heads because they remember where everything is. Really becomes a lot like that. So maybe eventually, people can really feel the feel of Matt feel the Gameboy to know where everything is. And at that point, just just know what moves to make, based on the map pick As honestly, there is a very simple way with the resources to make the map able to make the map accessible, if you just feeling what what kind of resources I were   Michael Hingson ** 55:12 something to explore Well, if you'd like to explore that and examine it in the future, let me know. Because I think it would be fun to try to connect you with people who might be able to help with that. For you. What have you learned from this experience? So far? In terms of creating a business? What, what kind of mistakes have you made in doing the business? Or what kind of lessons have you learned that are going to help you as you go forward?   Jack Kountouris ** 55:38 Yeah, so Well, one lesson I have is to really have like a partner that you trust. And just in general, our partner, I spoke to this earlier, but they'll speak to it again. There's so much confidence when you know, there's at least one other person who has the same vision and believes in the same thing you do. It just really helps so much. The Void is anxiety, saying, Oh, what if no one likes it? Oh, what have I can't do this. But yeah, other than that, just? And yeah, you've probably heard this from the perspective of business people out there that many entrepreneurs, just the famous thing is they say, many people just fail at that first. And the first Ventures we have, we have made a few mistakes with which we will definitely learn from Wait, which costs, which actually costing us money. So we learned the hard way. But I think honestly, being an entrepreneur, having a business like this, learning the hard way is really goes with the function of it.   Michael Hingson ** 56:45 What has all of this taught you that you can use in your full time regular job of being a recruiter? Because I'm sure that this must give you some empathy or better understanding of some of the things and are some of the places where you might be sending people I would think.   Jack Kountouris ** 57:04 Yeah, so in recruitment, won't. What I will say is, sometimes you see people with CVS, and it's really black and white, sometimes the hiring manager, you see people with CVS, you see they're doing this passion project on the side, you see what they're doing on the side. And many of you will be like, Okay, what's relevant in that, because obviously, if you're doing something on the side, it's not really a full time job. But yet, it's given me a chance to have more patience and learn more about the the individual people not just about what they've been doing, how long they've been doing, and what they've accomplished, which, obviously, the name of the game in terms of equipment, but learn more about them on the people side of things, learn more about what drives them to learn more about their motivations.   Michael Hingson ** 57:52 Studying psychology is a wonderful thing. But there's nothing like living it and seeing it in action to really be a great tool for you teaching yourself how to do it better.   Jack Kountouris ** 58:04 Yep, that's exactly right, Michael.   Michael Hingson ** 58:07 It's, it's as good as it gets. It's kind of fun. What's the future for Dimension board games then? So you're obviously working on games, anything you can talk about?   Jack Kountouris ** 58:17 Yeah, a few things I can talk about. I don't want to talk talk too much, because it's pretty much in development. But we do have a few expansions may be coming. Another edition possibly for like next two years, or 2324 25. And eventually, we'd want to be in a place where we can just come up with with different games and be able to reuse, create the games we love and see if they're good enough.   Michael Hingson ** 58:50 Do you think your games will continue to be sort of battle and conquest type games? Or are there other kinds of plots you might explore?   Jack Kountouris ** 58:59 What I will say is ones, the ones we are thinking now and then backbend and the ones in development. They are combat. They are they are similar to the first game, but we do we are think about one that's that sets more than in this space mindset, which is more of a 2025 thing. We haven't really begun develop development on that so much, because we've just been focusing on invasion and the expansions and the other ones we have more immediately. But a yet a long, long term. Long term goal is to be thinking of games in another situation. So space and stuff   Michael Hingson ** 59:38 like that. Question. Strategy games, though, are pretty popular. And so I'm not surprised.   Jack Kountouris ** 59:43 Exactly, exactly. And if if we have a chance to create a classic game like Monopoly or Scrabble, that's more mainstream, then that'd be fantastic as well.   Michael Hingson ** 59:54 Well, this is absolutely been fun. And as I said, I've never been able to have discussion like this, and I've learned a lot. And you've also given us some wonderful things to think about just good life lessons about entrepreneurship and the fact that when you work on something, you have to deal with setbacks. But at the same time, you need to look forward and move forward. And you've clearly done that you and your, your partner have done a lot of that, which is really exciting. And I appreciate the, the lessons and the thoughts that you've brought to us. If people want to learn more about invasion and learn more about you, and so on. How do they do that?   Jack Kountouris ** 1:00:35 So yeah, I'm obviously you can look me up on LinkedIn, Jack Kountouris or on Facebook or any of the socials. But for dimension, board games, our Instagram handles at dimension board games, our URL is dimensionboardgames.com. Very simple like that. And also, we have a link from them to voting Schaik on our website, so you can see the more in depth reviews of the game on the invasion, the Congress, the Kings on board game, board games kick. So if you're looking for reviews of the game, just go to bogging games geek or even go to a Instagram page, because eventually, because sometimes we do post some reviews out there.   Michael Hingson ** 1:01:19 spell your name so people can find you easily if they want to go to LinkedIn, and so on   Jack Kountouris ** 1:01:24 J A C K  K O U N T O U R I S   Michael Hingson ** 1:01:34 So hunt down Jack and learn about invasion, the conquest of kings and dimension board games. And that sounds like there's a lot of exciting stuff coming up. And I'm going to try to keep up with it. And I'm hoping that we can maybe work together to make something accessible. I think that we don't as blind people get to share a lot of that stuff. And sometimes a few games are made somewhat accessible, or sometimes they're made fairly accessible, but it's still a small population compared to what's out there. So it would be fun to see some games come out right from the outset that worked for everyone.   Jack Kountouris ** 1:02:16 Thanks so much, Michael.

Antonio and Ward dive into the vibrant pages of James and Karla Murray's new book "Store Front NYC: Photographs of the City's Independent Shops, Past and Present" on this episode of Street Shots. The Murrays recount their serendipitous journey, starting from documenting the graffiti art scene in the late '90s to capturing the rapid transformations of NYC's iconic mom-and-pop stores. The book, a testament to the city's cultural evolution, captures the spirit of neighborhoods spread across the five boroughs. The duo discusses the challenges of capturing these ever-evolving spaces and the poignant stories of the store owners. The conversation takes a deeper turn as James and Karla reflect on the emotional ties New Yorkers have with these corner stores, especially the immigrants who found both livelihood and community in them. With many of these shops now only memories, the Murrays hope their work sparks a renewed appreciation for these unique, irreplaceable facets of New York's identity. Their photographs stand as both a celebration and a call to preserve the city's soul. The book "Store Front" will be available on September 19th and can be preordered now at Amazon. ----more---- JAMES and KARLA MURRAY - Website, YouTube, Instagram, "Store Front" from Prestel (images courtesy James & Karla Murray) Store Front NYC: Photographs of the City's Independent Shops, Past and Present   (Richard's Barber Shop, Nostrand Avenue near Park Place, Crown Heights, 2004. ©James and Karla Murray)   (Katy's Candy Store, Tompkins Avenue near Vernon Avenue, Bedford-Stuyvesant, 2004. ©James and Karla Murray)   (CBGB, Bowery at Bleecker Street, East Village, 2005. ©James and Karla Murray)   (D.

This week we're checking out another of the newest taco Spots in the town by taste testing the tasty tacos at the brand new MISSION TACO JOINT at Park Place in Leawood with our special guests IVANI BING (from Magic 107.3 & Fox 4 News Entertainment Reporter) and JUSTIN BRADLEY (General Manager of Mission Taco Joint Park Place and @pizzapartypuma on Instagram!) We not only break down the menu at Mission Taco and Dave's TACO FUTURES Mural, we also have all your BARBENHEIMER Coverage! Ivani saw Barbie! Dave saw Oppenhimer! They compare notes! (Ivani also tells us about a traumatic childhood theatre experience involving a mouse!) Justin tells us all about his family connections to the Wichita Taco Festival and we ponder what makes Wichita such a great taco and Fast Food town! (And Baba ganoush Town?) Ivani tells us about the best Brazilian Restaurants in KC and the time she smuggled Brazilian bread into the US! In the TACO TICKER, we tackle the titanic taco tussle that was Taco Bell getting Taco John's to relinquish their trademark on the phrase 'TACO TUESDAY!' Was Taco John's bullied by BIG TACO? Or does having no limits on who can use 'taco Tuesday' a good thing? And how is LeBron James involved? In CHEESY GORDITA CRIME, we taco 'bout the man arrested for hiding a gun inside a Taco Bell Quesadilla at a traffic stop! Should he have gone Crunch Wrap with his order instead? ALL THIS AND: Our guests talk about their dislike for CORN! Did the Corn Kid ever meet the band Korn? Ivani falls in love with the Smoky Salsa at MTJ! Justin reveals he is allergic to Nightshades! (We have lots of questions!) AND in Random Taco Question of the Week we ask: 1. If Tacos didn't exist, what would replace the Taco in our lives? And 2. WHO HAS THE BEST SALSA IN KC?!

After Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced that Armed Forces Brewing Co. would be moving its headquarters to Norfolk's Park Place, neighbors flagged what they say are misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ+ statements and social media posts from the company and its owners.

Park Place Technologies, the world's largest global data centre and networking optimisation firm, is building on Cork's status as a budding European tech hub by continuing to make notable strides within the local Cork community, since opening their new flagship 24,500 sq ft EMEA Support and Operation Centre in Blarney Business Park, in June last year. Ronan talks to Kieran Collins Senior Director, Global Support Centre Park Place Technologies. Kieran talks about his background, what Park Place Technologies, does sustainability, the pandemic, and their growth in Ireland. More about Park Place Technologies: Park Place's continued growth has seen them move offices regularly in Ireland since announcing their arrival in the City of Cork in November 2018, first at Lapps Quay. It is hoped that their new location in Blarney Business Park will accommodate the business growth and serve them well for years to come. Since the launch of Park Place's new EMEA Support and Operations Centre in June, the Blarney Business Park facility, has experienced a 15% growth in headcount as a result of proactive recruitment to help facilitate and accommodate business growth.  This headcount growth has seen recruitment take place across a wide range of business functions, including the addition of a new Customer Success Management (CSM) team, a linguistic customer support team who speak German to support our German customers, field engineers and a number of other managerial and senior roles.

Monopoly is a fun game (ok it isn't really) but it can certainly lead to tension. “1, 2, 3, aaaand it looks like you landed on my Park Place property. What have you got for me?” “How about some bullets straight from my gun?” This week on the podcast, the boys talk about the modern movie going experience, Theo's thirst for high quality content, the new “Royalty Silencer” burger from Wayback Burger to call out Prince Harry's new book, an attempted shooting caused by a Monopoly game, Chevy Chase's bad reputation in Hollywood which led to one of the most embarrassing comedy roasts in history, and Will goes over one of the wildest hoaxes in history, full of masonry and thievery: the Cardiff Giant.   Email us at segmentcitypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/SegmentCity Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtOxbiSIX1NlSrNMLSqzFqQ

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Knesset correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn and real estate reporter Danielle Nagler join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Tonight The Times of Israel is holding a live-streamed event in which our Editor David Horovitz is hosting legal experts for a nuanced discussion about the possible consequences of the Override Clause proposal. Keller-Lynn explains what the clause is. This has been a chaotic week in the Knesset as the incoming coalition attempts to push through four key pieces of legislation. What has been going on as clock ticks down to prime minister-designate's December 21 deadline? The government published data yesterday showing that home sales in October plummeted by a staggering 65 percent compared to the same month last year. Could it be that people are no longer willing to pay the prices demanded by sellers? Nagler recently finished a three-part series on how one can invest NIS 300,000 in Israel and abroad. We hear about the adventures of a fictional young couple, Dina and Ilan Discussed articles include: Live event TODAY: Reform or ruin? The next coalition's plans for the judiciary Knesset legal adviser: Bill to let convicted person be minister clearly ‘personal' MKs advance bills to let Deri take ministry; grant Ben Gvir, Smotrich broad powers Yariv Levin elected ‘temporary' Knesset speaker, will facilitate crucial bills No house, no problem: NIS 300,000 can still buy a ticket on the real estate express For Israeli house hunters, NIS 300,000 goes further when you are farther from home It's not Boardwalk or Park Place, but NIS 300,000 puts you in Israel's property game Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to November 20, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate all things absurd and keeping a lid on dinner.  Anna: National Absurdity Day comes but once a year, but around here we like to point out odd things every day. Right guys?  Marlo: Yes! Have you heard us in between takes? John: I mean it's kind of absurd that we're talking about absurdity. Marlo: Because we were just being absurd right now. It's kind of crazy! John: Like Marlo and I were just talking about if you take your shorts off and you flip them into the air with your foot and catch them it's how you can test whether or not you still have good balance. Marlo: That's correct! Except when you kick them and you shove your foot into the bed post, which is what I did two days ago. Anna: I am sorry I opened this can of worms. On National Absurdity Day go ahead and scoff at the off the wall things that make you go, “Hmmmm.” As we gather together with our families this week, we can be sure of a few things, people will eat too much and someone will stir up a family ruckus. It's time to plan ahead, not only for Thanksgiving dinner, but also what to do before and after the feast is served. Games bring people together, which is exactly what this holiday is about. Yes, there may be some arguments, but it is better to scrap over who owns Park Place than so many other things. Puzzles can keep our heads occupied, even through the post meal brain fog. If you have something for everyone, your family dinner is bound to go smoothly. During National Game and Puzzle Week, keep things fun and light, while dinner does the heavy lifting.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

The Tower of Babel represents one language, one purpose, and unity built around glorifying man. This led to division, racism, and depravity. Pastor Jason connects this to Acts chapter 2 and the day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit can create unity that glorifies God, rather than division glorifying man.
