Nelson explains how comedic elements in romance create engaging dynamics that nerd culture continues to embrace.The discussion then shifts to Love Stories Across Nerd Culture, highlighting the romance elements embedded in superhero stories, sci-fi, fantasy, and even video games.

Iron Man is the first Marvel film that we have given the Born to Watch treatment and it's only fitting that we leave "Dan" out of the mix. The movie that started it all, "We are Born to Watch".Released in 2008, "Iron Man" marked the birth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and ushered in a new era of superhero films. Directed by Jon Favreau and starring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, the film tells the story of a charismatic billionaire industrialist turned unlikely hero. With its gripping narrative, remarkable performances, and groundbreaking visual effects, "Iron Man" not only set the stage for an interconnected superhero universe but also became a timeless classic in its own right.Unlike other superhero films that often focus on individuals obtaining their powers through external sources, "Iron Man" takes a different approach. Tony Stark, an arrogant and brilliant engineer, finds himself in a life-altering situation when he is captured by terrorists while showcasing his latest weaponry. Forced to confront the destructive consequences of his own creations, Stark embarks on a personal journey of redemption and transformation. This unconventional origin story offers a refreshing and relatable perspective on heroism.The success of "Iron Man" can largely be attributed to Robert Downey Jr.'s stellar portrayal of Tony Stark. Downey Jr. perfectly embodies the wit, charisma, and vulnerability of the character, making Tony Stark one of the most beloved and iconic superheroes in cinematic history. His charisma and natural charm bring an endearing quality to Stark, making the audience root for his redemption and hero's journey."Iron Man" benefits from a strong supporting cast that complements Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. Gwyneth Paltrow shines as Pepper Potts, Stark's dedicated and efficient assistant, adding a layer of emotional depth to the film. Additionally, Jeff Bridges delivers a compelling performance as Obadiah Stane, Stark's mentor and business partner, whose motives and actions create a formidable adversary for Iron Man. The chemistry among the cast members elevates the film's emotional resonance and adds complexity to the narrative."Iron Man" revolutionised the way superhero suits were portrayed on screen. The seamless integration of CGI and practical effects brings the Mark I, Mark II, and Mark III Iron Man suits to life in spectacular fashion. Audiences were mesmerized by the sleek design and fluid movements of the armour, setting a new standard for superhero costumes in future films. The film's stunning action sequences, particularly the breathtaking flight scenes, left audiences in awe and laid the groundwork for the awe-inspiring spectacles that have since become a hallmark of the MCU.At its core, "Iron Man" delves into themes of responsibility, accountability, and redemption. Tony Stark's journey from a reckless arms dealer to a selfless hero is a powerful exploration of the transformative power of personal growth. The film emphasizes the importance of using one's wealth and abilities for the greater good and taking responsibility for the consequences of one's actions. These themes resonate strongly with audiences and give the film a deeper emotional impact."Iron Man" is the cornerstone of the MCU, setting the stage for a series of interconnected films that would follow. The film's post-credits scene, featuring Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, teasing the "Avengers Initiative," left fans buzzing with excitement about the possibilities of a shared superhero universe. This innovative approach to storytelling fundamentally changed the landscape of cinematic franchises, leading to the unprecedented success of the MCU and influencing the entire film industry.Over a decade since its release, "Iron Man" continues to hold a special place in the hearts of fans and film enthusiasts alike. The film's enduring legacy has inspired multiple sequels, spin-offs, and merchandise, solidifying Iron Man's position as an integral part of pop culture. Even after the conclusion of the Infinity Saga, the impact of "Iron Man" remains a fundamental aspect of the MCU's identity."Iron Man" is a groundbreaking film that not only launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe but also redefined the superhero genre for a new generation of audiences. With its compelling narrative, brilliant performances, and groundbreaking visual effects, the film continues to stand the test of time as a cinematic masterpiece. Robert Downey Jr.'s iconic portrayal of Tony Stark, coupled with the film's exploration of redemption and responsibility, ensures that "Iron Man" will forever hold a significant place in the annals of cinematic history.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

Dr. Don and Professor Ben talk about the risks of repeatedly using a pepper mill over a pot of water. Dr. Don - not risky

In this episode:Mike and Ed discuss two recent kidnappings: Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan by the Black Widow and Hawkeye, and Sue Storm by the Frightful Four. How senior do you need to be at StarkCorp before you are at risk of being kidnapped? Is a bow and arrow an effective weapon in the modern age? Should a wizard be defined by a lack of wings? Isn't lack of wings a common trait we all hold? All this and more - just don't call us silly!Behind the issues:As we get further into 1965, more and more issues are multi-part stories. Tales of Suspense #64 re-introduces Hawkeye as a villain, only to have him switch to being an Avenger next month in Avengers #16. Fantastic Four #38 ends with the heroes being at the epicenter of a nuclear bomb, and the after effects of that conflict continue for the next two issues. This pattern of moving beyond “supervillain of the month” becomes more regular with all of the titles over the next few months.In this issue:Tales of Suspense #64In the first story, Black Widow meets up with Hawkeye again. She explains how she has been pressed into service for the USSR, and that they have designed her fancy new costume replete with weapons and gadgets. She enlists Hawkeye with her task, to destroy Iron Man. To that end, they kidnap Happy and Pepper in an effort to attract Iron Man to their trap. Iron Man shows up, and Hawkeye and Black Widow nearly take him down. Fortunately, Iron Man rescues his friends, as the supervillains (soon to be superheroes) flee.The second story is a Captain America tale from WWII, when he had a secret identify as a first class screwup in the US Army. In this tale, Cap and Bucky battle a team of Nazis who have set up an innocent man who shows American audiences on a large crystal ball showing the awful future that awaits the US if it joins in the war. Cap and Bucky are able to break this propaganda show up. In the course of this story, we meet Agent Thirteen for the first time.Fantastic Four #38The Wingless Wizard (formerly the Wizard) argues with his teammates in the Frightful Four, the Trapster (formerly Paste Pot Pete), Medusa, and Sandman, and ultimately establishes why he is their leader with his mastery of gravity (basically he can fling things around with his anti-gravity tech). The Frightful Four kidnap Sue Storm, and the world takes notice. They take her to a small atoll in the ocean, and the Fantastic Four give chase, tracking them down and attacking the other foursome. The Human Torch is captured but then rescued by Reed and Ben, and the battle between the two foursomes then begins in earnest. Ultimately, the Frightful Four leave the atoll, leaving the Fantastic Four on the island moments before it is to be blown up by a bomb. The bomb detonates, but fortunately Sue protects her teammates in a force field, floating unconscious on the water's surface.Assumed before the next episode:People are wondering what the deal is with these superpowered people and the number 4.This episode takes place:After the Frightful Four have bested the Fantastic Four, and assume they have been blown up.Full Transcript:Edward: Mike, it is kidnapping week here on the show, ,Michael: and I didn't even mark it in my calendar, but you're right. Every year it creeps up on me every year. Kidnapping week, you know, I just think really it's kidnapping week. It's been that long. Oh gee.Edward: Yeah. Yeah. It's time for the friends and family of our heroes to be put at risk where the villains come in and, use them as leverage to. I dunno, I guess to get the heroes to fight. Why, they couldn't have just got them to fight before, it feels like most of these heroes won't turn down a chance to fight with these villains. Like I think the kidnapping part is a little unnecessary.Michael: It does seem unnecessary and maybe that's why we're taking a little jaunty view of it, where yes, they're being kidnapped, but it usually works out , no one's really injured. It makes it seem almost like a juvenile game between the super villains and the superheroes.Edward: And in this particular case, two of the top people at, Stark Corp, pepper Pots and Happy, I'm sorry, I don't know Happy's last name. Happy Hogan. Happy Hogan. Yeah. Happy Hogan. We're kidnapped. Everyone can, Breathe easy. They have all been rescued. Iron, Man has rescued them from the kidnapping. So they're back at home. Happy is now happy. And meanwhile, Sue Storm from the Fantastic Four, the actual superhero Sue Storm, has also been kidnapped by the Frightful four. And she's not yet been returned. So that the case is still out. Although with her powers, she's gonna be much easier to protect herself than Pepper and happier.Michael: I guess, we'll see how it all shakes out, but on a more serious note there is a concern about these connections with these superheroes that leave them exposed to risk. You gotta wonder about what they're doing to protect themselves in the case of Iron Man, no one knows who he or she is. It's just that there's a person in a suit of armor and they just associate, butEdward: he's associate, yeah. He's associated with Stark Corp. And so That's right. People know that Iron Man is Tony's Stark's bodyguard more than that. He's like the bodyguard for the company, the face of the company. And so, clearly if one of the top people at the company is kidnapped, Iron Man is gonna come to the rescue. And that's exactly what happened.Michael: But I think sometimes about say a royal of family or a distant relative of say the president,, if your cousins with the president, are you worried about getting kidnapped? And do you get a security detail? And the answer is no. And if you're 20th and line of the throne. Do you need a security detail because somebody kidnapped them, then it would be news. But I guess there, there is some cold comfort for people that work at Star Corp is that they're that far removed and they're not really at risk, but then again, maybe their career's not going so well, if they're not, if they're not exposed to kidnapping.Edward: That's right. This, this, you've been promoted and also kidnapped.Michael: Yeah. And they're like, thank God. Finally, you know what? They gave me a corner office and that was great and all, but it wasn't until I actually was reporting directly to Tony Stark that I was kidnapped. I was kidnapped by a Russian spyEdward: I've made it. I've made it. Mike . My career is finally taking off, and I'm a prisoner in Russia.Michael: Keep my bonus kidnapping and take me Siberia. .Edward: Is that like, I wonder if that's like a bullet on their resume for their next job was kidnapped four times. Therefore, it must be important.Michael: rescued by Iron Man three times and once by Thor. It was great. You know, recommended five stars.Edward: Yeah so this time, I dunno, we should probably cover both these kidnappings, but the first kidnapping of, pepper and Happy, was I guess a former Russian agent called Black Widow. And, someone called Hawkeye. And, Hawkeye apparently dangerous cause he did significant damage to Iron Man's Armors, Iron Man, managed to recover the two kidnappings. Black widow and Hawkeye did escape, but in the process, Iron Man's Armor was severely damaged. So this was a real threat.Michael: It is, but it's super weird, right? So Ironman's basically a living weapon. He's a rocket gun, you know. The way I understand Hawkeye is he fights with a bow and arrow and while I accept the fact that he somehow used the bow and arrow to get acid on costume. I don't think the operative part was the bow and arrow. I think it was the acid that just could eat through the suit. And my question,Edward: The arrow was a delivery vehicle for the.Michael: You could get a water gun for that , you know, especially,Edward: I'm pretty sure the wa like, I dunno if you, so I have some young children and they use water guns. Water guns do not shoot water very far. Okay. Whereas a bow and arrow, you could shoot that very far. Like maybe not as far as a sniper rifle, but a solid bow and arrow. You can shoot that thing a long wave.Michael: I know. Okay, I get that point. But I guess what I'm saying is that it seems like the only thing he's got is a bow and arrow so if he's truly the marksman, why is he not using a gun? Not that I wanted to use a gun cuz he's a bad guy. But wouldn't it be more effective in a fight if you had a gun and an earring? AccuracyEdward: Depends who you're, you're fighting against. I think if someone brought a gun to fight Iron, Man, those bullets would just bounce off his armor. But instead, well, he fired an acid arrow at him that melted his armor and practically took him.Michael: But I guess. Up your game, Hawkeye bring a rocket launcher. You know, or like, it's not gonna get bone arrow. It just the acid arrow. How it seems like the only thing that might've helped again, and in a fight between Hawkeye and Iron Man, like what else, what other arrow could he have?Edward: Maybe he has,, I could imagine many arrows, right? I can imagine. Many imagine he had like an emmp arrow that knocked out electronics. Clearly he didn't have one of those. Cause if he did, he could've taken out Iron Man with one. But he even, but maybe he should get one for next time.Michael: A projectile, like a gun. He could use, he could shoot like a little disc or something.Edward: Don't arrow guns don't. Guns don't have e emmp blockers. They don't have, there's no such arrow bullets. There's no acid bullets. These arrows do. These arrows do. Why not? Why not? ,Michael: I just think it's, Silly. I just think it's silly. It seems like he's committed. He's like, you know what? I like, I like being an archer. And they're like, hold on a second, the 17 hundreds called, they want their weapons back. And they're like, yeah, forget it. I'm sticking with it. No, it's not even the 17 hundreds, like the 14 hundreds, there's been advances in technology Hawkeye. And if you're really good at aiming things and shooting things, invest in a little. You know, gun workEdward: Well, here's my theory is that Hawkeye has some sort of incredible superpowers that'll, that give him the ability to shoot these things the same way we talked about the green goblin being able to balance on that, right? On his, on his hoverboard. I feel like Hawkeye has some sort of advanced superpowers on firing arrows. And he's combined that with incredible technology that provides these arrows that do incredible things. And I think, just because it seems silly to you, Mike, doesn't mean it's not.Michael: No, I, acknowledge that. I just, I guess I'd like to, again, like many of these superheroes I like to talk to and say, just so I understand this, have you thought about something different? Just like, explain to me why this is the process, if it's not just a shtick that you have because you like looking like, a bad Robinhood Halloween costume.Edward: I think, this is a case, Mike, where you are sitting here being the critic, right. Going and arguing against these guys, whereas he's out there risking his life actually doing this stuff and, and like I, the bad guy, I'm, I'm gonna, well he's doing evil, but at least he's doing something. He's, he's stepping up and he's, and he's taking action and he's making things happen in the world. And I, feel like sitting back and critiquing it. We should be trying to understand it and let's understand what he's doing and why he's doing it that way. But to, wave your hands and say what he's doing is dumb and stupid, man. I wanna see you go out there and fight Iron Man with your rocket launcher .Michael: I'm not, but I guess, okay. I guess I was, I just still find it silly. But no, I'm ed you've really made it, you've made some headway in this discussion. Yes. Okay. Iron, Man, keep it up or no, Iron Man haw. Keep it up. Keep it up. See how, see what happens. But I'm just saying to you right now, in a year's time, he is in jail, , and it's like, and I'd be curious. And they take away his arrows. . Yeah. I'd be curious. He says like, yeah, you know what, you know what my mistake was? I used a bow and arrow in a modern world to commit crimes instead, I should have. A gun or a rocket launcher, or a flame thrower, or even a water gun. that shot.Edward: Hey, speak. Speaking of other options, let's, let's move on to our second kidnapping of the week. So Sue Storm, kidnapped by the frightful four. All four of them, I guess, got together and took her out. Usually the fight for four are battling the entire Fantastic four. And this case they focus their efforts on one individual, on the team, kidnapped her, are now demanding the other ones come and fight them. So far nothing really exciting in the news, but I think what's interesting, maybe interesting is that, two of the dreadful four, are, if not new then rebrand.Michael: I think they're definitely rebranded, and I find it, again, I guess the theme I'm having is that it just seems kind of silly. So like, do you know what the name is?Edward: Like we talked about the silliness, . Let's give these guys some credit. They're battling the Fantastic Four. These are not clowns,Michael: not silly people. Okay. Okay, let's go through this. Okay, so we know about what's his, um, what's his real name, the Wizard's real name, uh, bent. Whitman Bentley Bettman? Yes, that's correct. Okay. Okay. So he goes from Bentley Whitman very intelligent person knowing the world over to calling himself the wizard cuz he's like super smart and he wants to out Fox the Human Torch who's a teenager. And then he's rebranded himself as a Wingless wizard cuz he's using is, he's still using his anti-gravity suit, which he had before. And my first. Who are you talking to about the branding? Like boy, the wingless part is not the interesting part of this. We already know you're the wizards so you're flying, but you and I Ed are wingless. This isn't the win the Wingless radio show. You know what I mean? I'm not the wingless lawyer. You're the winless dad of your children. The Thing.Edward: If he was, if he was armless, maybe he should call that out. But you're right, a human who is Wingless doesn't seem to be The Thing that you care about.Michael: No, it's not. It's not like, woo. I'm really intimidated. He's wingless. Watch out. He's wingless. .Edward: You can imagine all these other characteristics he does not have . The claws.Michael: Claws, you know. I don't know, like the finless, like, I guess you wouldn't be good swimming. Like it's just dumb . So it's not just, it's not just silly, it's kind of dumb.The guiltless, the guiltless wizard. , what I hope, what I hope, because he's a bad guy, he's doing bad things and he kidnapped somebody recently is, I hope that he paid a lot of money to some consultant to say, what am I missing? Why, why are people thinking I'm a bad guy, just cause I do bad things? They're like, you know what it is? It's because, you know, the wizard is so intimidating. Let's just say, to soften you up and say like, here are things you, you aren't, you're, you don't have wings, so we're gonna call you wingless and that, and everyone likes alliteration. You're the. You're the wingless wizard now. That'll be $5,000 here. Thank you very much. Goodbye, Lee. I just think it's not very good.Edward: Okay. I think we can agree the Wingless wizard was a misfire when it comes to branding. But. The other member of the team who's come up with a new name for themselves, paste Pot, Pete, which I always have a hard time saying, and yeah. Frankly, might be the worst name in the superhero business, . And it was about, it was about time he changed and he did change to what I like. Well, it's not a worst name.Michael: The Trapster. The Trapster. You know, I think the irony here is that they're on the same team and the Wisher goes to a worst name with alliteration and Pace Pot pete goes to a better name, and eliminates the alliteration. . Yeah. So it's no longer Pace Pot Pete, which is kind of like, again, pace Pot is not like, Ooh. Oh no. They might. Something sticky on me. The trapster is a little more, nefarious, right? And I think it's more intimidating if that's what you're going for as a super villain. And it just seems that maybe. Pete Trapster should go over talk to Wing Wizard and say, you know what, ,Edward: as much as we all love the alliterations, it's, they're unnecessary these days. You can, like, they're, yeah, don't, you don't need to li you don't need to put yourself in that box wizard. You could call yourself the box less wizard.Michael: Yeah, but he should say something like, Hey, I was like you before where I thought what people needed to know was have in my name was have descriptions like Pace Pot. You know, Pete wasn't enough, had to be Pace Pot, and you had to be winless, but you don't need it at all. Just go right to the name, the Wizard, and I'm the Trapster and you're Wizard. So you're smart and you're devious, and I'm. I'm gonna trap you with my pace Pot , but I'm not gonna say that part because it's just gonna happen. It's just like I'm gonna trap 'em,Edward: talk, talk, talk, talk about what you achieve, not how you achieve it.Michael: That's right. And I won't be tied down to the PACE pod cuz I have more than glue, not much, but I have more than glue I might have like genius plans.Edward: I can trap you with whatever methods I choose. .Michael: Yeah. And I might just talk to my friend, the Wizard who's super smart. He's gonna help me figure out how to do these plants and I'll just, I'll do it. Sometimes it'll evolve pace, but I'm not tied down to it. And you know what, you might just float away. But no one needs to know why. just do listen. Just do. This is a public episode.

Ben White is a Massachusetts native, but his heart is clearly in Utah where he has lived since college.

Marketers are always focused on what's next. We're constantly planning the next campaign, predicting trends, and conducting research. Always onward! But there's a critical piece of content from the past that you're probably overlooking: your company's origin story. It's a powerful tool you can leverage to detail your company's mission and align customers with your values to get deeper buy-in and drive sales.This week, we're taking inspiration from the origin story that launched an entire cinematic universe: the origin story of Marvel's Iron Man. We're showing you how to apply the structure of the hero's journey to your company's origin story so that your customers become superfans.About Marvel's “Iron Man”Iron Man is a 2008 superhero movie based on the Marvel comic book character created by Stan Lee. The film stars Robert Downey, Jr., as Tony Stark, Gweneth Paltrow as his personal assistant Pepper Potts, Terrence Howard as James Rhodes, and Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane. The storyline follows rich businessman and inventor Tony Stark after he's kidnapped and forced to build a deadly weapon. Instead, he builds himself a high-tech suit and escapes – only to uncover an evil plot to cause devastation around the world. He then vows to fight evil as Iron Man.The Hero's JourneyThe hero's journey is a narrative structure in which a character goes on an adventure, faces a crisis, comes away victorious, and returns having undergone a transformation. Author Joseph Campbell analyzed the hero's journey in his seminal 1949 book, “The Hero with a Thousand Faces.” He defined a hero as “someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” This structure is one as old as storytelling itself; it has been used from The Odyssey to Star War to Harry Potter – and Iron Man, of course!What B2B Companies Can Learn From Marvel's “Iron Man”: Share your company's origin story. Attract your ideal customers by showcasing your company's journey. Telling your story demonstrates your company's mission and fundamental values, and most importantly, it helps you distinguish yourself from your competition. This is especially important as consumers trend towards aligning their values with their spending. How does this apply to Iron Man? We wouldn't appreciate his character without seeing his growth from self-absorbed jerk to the selfless hero he becomes. Even though Iron Man is a billionaire genius living in a Malibu mansion, we are invested in his compelling emotional arc.Show both the successes and the struggles. Let's be real. Starting a company isn't easy. It's a journey – and dare we say it, a Hero's Journey! But part of the Hero's Journey is that you will make mistakes – and no one is immune from this. For example, back in 2015, Apple got negative publicity – notably from Taylor Swift – for offering a free one-month trial of streaming in which artists wouldn't receive royalties. Apple's SVP of Internet Software and Services tweeted an apology: “#AppleMusic will pay artists for streaming, even during customer's free trial period,” and, “We hear you @taylorswift13 and indie artists. Love, Apple.” Not long after, Taylor Swift struck a deal with Apple to stream her latest tour exclusively on the platform. Apple owned up to their mistakes quickly and transparently, allowing them to be on the public's (and Taylor Swift's) good side again. But being transparent about your values also means living up to them as well. The founders of tech company Basecamp have made improving work culture an integral component of their brand. They have published five books related to the topic and make resources like their company handbook publicly available. “Treating people right is fundamental to how we do business,” they write on their website. However, their actions didn't line up with their values. A third of their employees resigned after Basecamp put in place a policy banning “societal and political discussions.” The takeaway? Posting your values on your website is only one step. Living up to them is even more important. And if you fall short of your standards? Apologize and make it right. That's what Basecamp did.Keep telling your story. Every time you make a big decision, make sure it aligns with the values embedded in your origin story. Communicate your reasoning with your audience. Your transparency will strengthen your audience's trust in you – and help you continue to build a loyal group of sidekicks!Key Quotes*”With business storytelling, we focus on the timeline of accomplishments and not the thought and the rigor, the difficulties and the struggles that go into those middle pieces because we don't want to air dirty laundry. But if you illuminate the process a little bit more, you'd get a richer story.” - Ian Faison*”Another element to explaining what your mission is and bringing people on that mission is bringing them on the journey with you and continuously giving them updates on things from a business perspective. I like when there's an emotional connection between me and the brand. And a lot of times a good way to do that is through social media, for example. So, like I use Canva, as an example. And I follow them on LinkedIn. It's the only business account that I follow on LinkedIn. And I actually care what they post because I feel like I'm going on a journey with them. You feel like you're a part of it. And I think that's a really key element to building a relationship with your audience.” - Colin Stamps“If you anchor back to your origin, it shows the reason for your mission. This is why we have these values as a company. This is why we believe in the vision that we're trying to achieve, is having this foundational element of a company that we set out to solve. It feeds into a future looking assessment of where you want to be. And that's why the origin story is so important.“ - Ian FaisonTime Stamps[1:30] Tell me more about Iron Man[4:14] The backstory behind the creation of the 2008 movie[7:28] What can I learn about telling my origin story from Marvel?[11:31] Why is it important to share my company's origin story?[14:39] Do I need to share the messier side of the origin story?

In this episode:Mike and Ed discuss both the reveal that Tony Stark is still alive, and his subsequent assassination from a space laser. Tony's will leaves all his assets to Iron Man, which puts the suspicion for the laser attack squarely on the Avenger's head (at least in terms of motive), but the show summarizes the motives of other potential assassins (there are many!) Maybe more importantly, who has the ability to kill from a distance like this, and who will they target next? Are all of our best scientists at risk? Is solving this attack Reed Richard's number one priority? If not, why not?Behind the comic:Stan attempts to pull off pathos in this issue and the panels spend some time with people like Happy Hogan, who is broken up by Tony's apparent death. Meanwhile, Stan lets the implications of these events sit for a while. The issue ends with Iron Man being a captive of the Mandarin, and the next issue is the full origin of the villain - which means that Tony Stark “stays dead” for a full two months in the comic continuity, before returning from the dead in early March.In this issue:Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan announce they are quitting and are unhappy that Tony Stark is missing and Iron Man has basically taken over the company. They speak to the police about the matter, and the newspapers find out about it, finally noticing that Tony Stark is missing and that Iron Man is now a suspect in his disappearance. Tony Stark, who is actually Iron Man, decides to deal with the situation. He decides the best way to do that is to appear to Happy as a sick Tony Stark who explains that Iron Man is in charge of the company on his behalf. Happy then supports the perspective that everything is legitimate. Meanwhile, the Mandarin uses a killer ray to attack the Earth. Specifically, to attack Iron Man, who escapes, although the news report that Tony's home has been struck by a deadly ray of unknown origin. Tony Stark's closest friends realize that and accept that Tony Stark is dead and Iron Man has taken over the company. Meanwhile, Iron Man fights the Mandarin and ends up being captured. The episode ends on a cliffhanger.Assumed before the next episode:People are dumping StarkCorp stock. This episode takes place:After people find out that Tony Stark was killed by a fricking space laser. This is a public episode.

In this episode:Mike and Ed discuss the police decision to declare Tony Stark missing and Iron Man as a suspect. Did Iron Man kill Tony Stark? Why is Iron Man still in charge of StarkCorp. while he is under investigation? Why hasn't the board of directors already acted, and how will they respond when they do? Is this the most exciting story since the founding of the Fantastic Four? Also: Pepper Potts, Tony Stark's secretary, has been kidnapped by a masked villain using a bow and specialty explosive arrows. Is it all related as part of a conspiracy? Or is it just a distraction from the bigger issue of Mr. Stark's disappearance?Behind the comic:Most Marvel comics at this time were monthly, in theory (X-Men was bi-monthly). But in practice the comics came out whenever the artists completed their work. This meant that Spider-Man comics were often delayed (Ditko started delivering in a more timely manner in 1965), it also meant that some of the storylines got a little mixed up. There WERE a number of issues released between Tales of Suspense #59 and #60 (Tales to Astonish #61, Fantastic Four #33, Journey Into Mystery #11, and Strange Tales #127) but, coincidentally, none of those issues had any publicly visible events. So from a Super Serious perspective it means Part 2 of this Iron Man drama follows immediately after Part 1. In the real world Part 3 does not come out until January 1965, but from a comic book continuity perspective it happens BEFORE Avengers #11 (which was on newsstands the same day as this issue), so we will cover in our next episode.In this issue:Tony Stark is frustrated because he feels he needs to wear his armour all the time, lest his fragile heart stop. This means as well that he has to remain Iron Man at all times and tell his closest friends that Tony Stark is away on a secret business matter. His friends call the police, who interrogate Iron Man, who draws suspicion and flees under a hail of bullets from the cops. Meanwhile, Hawkeye is convinced by the Black Widow to raid StarkCorp.‘s factory to steal plans for its newest weapons. Hawkeye kidnaps Tony Starks's assistant Pepper Potts. This draws Iron Man back to rescue Pepper, whereupon he battles Hawkeye, chasing him off.Assumed before the next episode:StarkCorp.'s share price keeps going up and down on the uncertainties involving its founder and Iron Man.This episode takes place:After Pepper Potts has been rescued.

Imagine this: Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, and James Rhodes are all teenagers in high school together, but they're still superheroes... or at least, super-rich, in Tony's case. That's the premise of Iron Man Armored Adventures, starring the teenage version of Iron Man. In this mutant-themed episode, Tony and his pals meet Jean Grey; she's on the run from Magneto, a mutant extremist trying to recruit her to assassinate Senator Kelly. Perhaps the most notable part of this episode is that Pepper Potts is written to be extremely bigoted against mutants. According to her, it's scary and gross to be born with superpowers, but it's totally fine to build a super-suit with your inherited wealth. Okay, Pepper! Sure.

In this episode:Mike and Ed discuss workplace safety issues at StarkCorp. A man was saved by Iron Man, but is that an acceptable solution? Iron Man can't be standing on duty at every plant. Using superheroes as safety supervisors seems like negligence combined with “putting a patch on it”. Too often it seems that the world's problems are being “patched” by superheroes. We need to solve the root causes.Behind the comic:This is Hawkeye's first appearance, in which he is billed as an “archvillain”, although his only public role is limited to a heist of a jewelry store, which is not commented on in the episode. What is interesting is that he is working with (being manipulated by?) the Black Widow, with whom he is smitten. How much of their partnership in the MCU is based on this first appearance in which they are “partners”?In this issue:Iron Man saves a Stark Corp. worker from a workplace accident. After doing that, Tony Stark decides to take his assistant Pepper Potts on a date, which is interrupted by another malfunction which puts lives in danger, leading Tony to change into his Iron Man armour and save the day again. Meanwhile, a circus performer decides to become a costumed adventurer, and thus begins the career of (eventually legendary) Hawkeye. He intercepts a robber but is mistaken by the police as being part of the robbery. Hawkeye escapes and is picked up by the Black Widow. She convinces him to help him defeat Iron Man. Hawkeye attacks Iron Man and holds his own for a while, although ultimately Iron Man comes out on top. Hawkeye escapes, with an injured Black Widow.Assumed before the next episode:People are wondering how much Iron Man gets paid to act as a workplace safety supervisor.This episode takes place:After Iron Man defeats Hawkeye.

r/Choosingbeggars Ladies, do you hate money? Do you love working for a sexist jerk who think that he's the next Tony Stark? Then I've got the perfect job for you! This "employer" is looking for a cute girl to work as his fulltime UNPAID secretary. But don't worry! Once his business becomes profitable, he will finally start paying you a salary.

In this episode:Mike and Ed discuss the Soviet Agent “Unicorn” and his assault on a StarkCorp munitions factory. Does the Soviet Union still have plausible deniability with such a blatant attack? How will the US respond? What type of game are the two superpowers playing that can avoid a full-on nuclear war? Also: Secret identities can protect a hero's family from being attacked by their enemies, but if the hero's employers are public, doesn't that put employees of the same company at risk from vengeful villains?Behind the comic:The Black Widow is becoming one of the regular Iron Man antagonists at this point. Iron Man's stories, more so that the other heroes, are tied up in international conflict. Since the USSR is the US's primary challenger at this point, it is easy to see why Lee goes back to that country for the majority of the villains that Stark faces. There will be more stories of the Black Widow coming soon.In this issue:Tony Stark is frustrated with living a double life. He decides to give up being Iron Man, at least for a short period of time, which leads to him dodging a call from the Avengers. Meanwhile, the mysterious supervillain the Unicorn is on the trail of Iron Man. He tears apart a StarkCorp factory, which lead to his friend and employee Happy Hogan being injured and his personal secretary Pepper Potts being captured. Tony Stark realizes the error of his ways, and springs into action as Iron Man. He tracks down the Unicorn and battles him, rescuing Pepper. The Unicorn nonetheless escapes.Assumed before the next episode: People are wondering if there is a more direct line between Iron Man and Tony Stark than they had previously known, given that Tony Stark's personal secretary was kidnapped to draw the attention of Iron Man. This episode takes place After Pepper Potts has been rescued and the Unicorn has been defeated. This is a public episode.

Evan and Matt are continuing their rewatch of the MCU, jumping into Phase two's first film, Iron Man 3 (that's a lot of different numbers in the back half of that sentence). Bennett also returns to the podcast, sharing his observations and defending his position that Iron Man 3 "slaps." The crew gets into Tony Stark's continued character development, favorite action sequences, and of course, their feelings on Marvel's controversial decision to bait-and-switch fans with their use of The Mandarin in this film. In addition, they'll give some quick thoughts on The Eternals critical backlash, where this movie ranks against the Phase One films, and maybe make sense of why Matt keeps calling Aldrich Killian "Kildrich." This and more is coming up on this episode of Pop of the Culture!

Iron ManWelcome to The Guys Review, where we review media, products and experiences.  **READ APPLE REVIEWS/Fan Mail**Mention Twitter DM group - like pinned tweetRead emailsTwitter Poll Iron Man Directed by: Jon Favreau Starring:  Robert Downey Jr.Terrence HowardJeff BridgesShaun ToubGwyneth Paltrow Released: May 2, 2008 Budget: $140M ($180M 2021) Box Office: $585.8M ($753M in 2021) Ratings:   IMDb 7.9/10 Rotten Tomatoes 94%Metacritic 79% Google Users 87% The eighth-highest grossing film of 2008. Received praise from critics, especially for Downey's performance. It was selected by the American Film Institute as one of the ten best films of 2008 and received two nominations at the 81st Academy Awards for Best Sound Editing and Best Visual Effects. This is film one of phase one of the marvel cinematic universe, that has since spawned 26 films, with 12 more currently in production. It is the highest-grossing film franchise of all time, having grossed over $23.5 billion at the global box office. This includes Avengers: Endgame, which became the highest-grossing film of all time upon release. First time you saw the movie? Plot:The film opens with Tony Stark, who has inherited Stark Industries from his late father Howard Stark, in war-torn Afghanistan with his friend and military liaison, Lieutenant colonel James "Rhody" Rhodes, to demonstrate the new "Jericho" missile. After the demonstration, the convoy, and Starks fun-vee, not Rhodys hum-drum-vee, is ambushed and Stark is critically wounded by a missile used by the attackers: one of his company's own. He is captured and imprisoned in a cave by a terrorist group called the Ten Rings. A fellow captive and doctor named Yinsen, implants an electromagnet into Stark's chest to keep the shrapnel shards that wounded him from reaching his heart and killing him... Chris, does your implant even do anything like that to keep you alive? Ten Rings leader Raza offers Stark freedom in exchange for building a Jericho missile for the group, but he and Yinsen know that Raza will not keep his word. S:-The music for this movie is PERFECTION.-RDJ, with all of his life issues, was born to play Tony Stark.  Stark and Yinsen bond, and secretly build a small, powerful electric generator called an arc reactor to power Stark's electromagnet and a prototype suit of powered armor to aid in their escape. Although they keep the suit hidden almost to completion, the Ten Rings discover their hostages' intentions and attack the workshop like Trey attacks a whole fucking pint of ice cream. Like Treys stomach, Yinsen sacrifices himself to divert the terrorists while the suit powers up. The armored Stark battles his way out of the cave (like the ice cream does to Treys stomach) to find the dying Yinsen, then burns the Ten Rings' weapons in anger and flies away, crashing in the desert and destroying the suit. After being rescued by Rhody, Stark returns home and announces that his company will cease manufacturing weapons. Obadiah Stane, his father's old partner and the company's manager, advises Stark that this may ruin Stark Industries and his father's legacy and urges him to reconsider. In his home workshop, Stark builds a sleeker, more powerful version of his improvised armor suit as well as a more powerful arc reactor for it and his chest. Personal assistant Pepper Potts places the original reactor inside a small glass showcase. Though Stane requests details of the Mk2, a suspicious Stark decides to keep his work to himself. S:-I love the use of all the practical effects. They built a REAL suit, and the mk1 suit was real, too. This is before all the computer animation that makes up most of the movies today, like Shang-Chi (which I watched last night).  At a charity event held by Stark Industries, reporter Christine Everhart (the woman from the opening of Trick r Treat) informs Stark that his company's weapons were recently delivered to the Ten Rings and are being used to attack Yinsen's home village, Gulmira. Stark dons his new armor and flies to Afghanistan, where he saves the villagers, and leaves one of the generals to the citizens of the village. Also, one of the BEST visuals, when the tank shoots at him, and he fires a tiny rocket, and walks away when it blows up. While flying home, Stark is attacked by two F-22 Raptors. He reveals his secret identity to Rhodes over the phone in an attempt to end the attack. Meanwhile, the Ten Rings gather the pieces of Stark's prototype suit and meet with Stane, who has been trafficking arms to the Ten Rings and has staged a coup to replace Stark as Stark Industries' CEO by hiring the Ten Rings to kill him. He subdues Raza and has the rest of the group killed. Stane has a massive new suit reverse engineered from the wreckage. Seeking to track his company's illegal shipments, Stark sends Potts to hack into its database. She discovers that Stane hired the Ten Rings to kill Stark, quicker than Tucker could uncover the identity of the famed Opelika Butthole Tickler, who was sneaking into peoples houses, and tickling their buttholes... but the group reneged when they realized they had a direct route to Stark's weapons. Potts meets with Agent Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D., an intelligence agency, to inform him of Stane's activities. S:-Its a classic, and somewhat tropy move to have the partner and manager be the bad guy all along...but it works so well, and Jeff Bridges does it so well.  Stane's scientists cannot duplicate Stark's miniaturized arc reactor, so Stane ambushes Stark at his home and steals the one from his chest. Stark manages to get to his original reactor to replace it before dying. Potts and several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents attempt to arrest Stane, but he dons his suit and attacks them. Stark fights Stane but is outmatched without his new reactor to run his suit at full capacity. The fight carries Stark and Stane to the top of the Stark Industries building, and Stark instructs Potts to overload the large arc reactor powering the building. This unleashes a massive electrical surge that causes Stane and his armor to fall into the exploding reactor, killing him. The next day, at a press conference, Stark publicly admits to being the superhero the press has dubbed "Iron Man". In a post-credits scene, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury visits Stark at home, telling him that Iron Man is not "the only superhero in the world", and explaining that he wants to discuss the "Avenger Initiative". S:-My biggest complaint is the end fight was good, but kinda sucks that we've seen this whole movie building the different suits, prototypes, tests, etc... and then we don't even get to see the fight at full capacity. We don't get to see what the suit can really do. Potts has to help him win.   Top Five Trivia of the movie: 5: Rhodys ringtone is the 1966 Iron Man cartoon theme music4:One of the cars in Tony Stark's garage, is a Tesla Roadster, which had not yet been released during the film's production.3: Rock guitarist Tom Morello assisted Ramin Djawadi in composing the film's soundtrack. Morello had a cameo in the film as a security guard who gets killed by the Iron Monger2: This is the last film special effects expert Stan Winston completed before his death.1: The line, "I am Iron Man" was ad-libbed by Robert Downey Jr.. Producer Kevin Feige approved using it in the final cut of the film, and credits this with his decision to largely do away with secret identities in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  TOP 5Stephen:1 Breakfast club2 T23 Sandlot4 Back to the Future5 Mail order brides Chris:1. sandlots2.

Enter billionaire, engineer, genius, playboy... Tony Stark. This week we are diving into (in my humble opinion) the official, theatrical debut of the MCU with 2008's Iron Man. Hands down this is by far my FAVORITE Marvel movie to date. While its sequels don't boast too much to write home about, the original Iron Man is a colossal milestone in the birth of the MCU. With Robert Downey Jr as the celebrity turned hero Iron Man, Gwyneth Paltrow as the level headed Pepper Potts and Jeff Bridges as the hot tempered (and bald) Obadiah Stone, this is one superhero sized adventure of a movie. And although Tony's suit can withstand a barrage of bullets and a fight against a larger iron brute, can it withstand the onslaught of bad reviewers? Tune in to find out!   If you enjoyed this content, be sure to give my official Ko-Fi page a gander!  There you can get access to all kinds of cool perks and prizes from your very own shoutout on the show to choosing which movie I cover next.  Link down below!  You can also find filling the world with more #BRBR insanity on Insta @billreadsbadreviews.  Stay awesome.

We are back on The MCU'S Bleeding Edge Podcast here on Anchor with a outstanding and pretty long episode reviewing Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark, with Podcast Of Champions. We are joined for the first time by Alexis, who I met through us both being guests on the Radulich In Broadcasting Network,  a very experienced guest in the podcasting/ live-streaming world, and also our second female MCU fan/ content creator, Yvonne Rempel, host of On The Road To Damascus podcast also on Anchor. We also have Taylor for his second appearance and lastly, also new to the show, The Grandmaster( Remco) both from Podcast Of Champions who we are connecting this Infinity Saga Review Series with, this being part 3. Of course Iron Man started the entire MCU and was the first of what would become over 20 films in what is now called the Infinity Saga. It is a well reviewed film with a excellent secondary cast and some neat cameos of Agent Phil Coulson and of course the famous end credit scene with Nick Fury, where we were first heard the words " Avengers Initiative", something that seemed like a fairly tale at one point until Marvel Studios came out setting the stage right from jump In Iron Man and letting us know essentially we were getting a Avengers solo film. Jon Favreau directs the film and also plays Happy Hogan, security for Tony Stark, in the movie as well. We get excellent performances from Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts and Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane. Terrence Howard makes his one appearance as James( War Machine) Rhodes. Its a excellent and classic film and we deliver a excellent show here with wonderful contributions from our guest panel. Moderated by Jeff Sloboda, co-host of The MCU'S Bleeding Edge, we hope you enjoy this episode and wish everyone out there a thanks for supporting our content.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-mcus-bleeding-edge/message

Avengers: Infinity War - TWO YEARS LATER Remember that moment in Endgame where they killed Thanos and then there was a title card that was all like, "FIVE YEARS LATER," and we were all like "WHOAH." This episode is kind of like that, but way, way less epic. OK, for real, we started Nerd Critic just over two years ago, right around the time that Infinity War came out (and partly because of it), so that should give you some idea of the importance of this film in Nerd Critic's history. We felt it was a good time to revisit not only the film itself (TWO YEARS LATER), but also our very first episode. Are we any better? Worse? Exactly the disappointing same? See for yourself. 2:00 - Our thoughts about our first episode, after registering 3:30 - A reminder to listen to this show at 2X speed, and why 6:20 - Nerd Critic tropes (making up words, underestimating the runtime of our episodes, man-crushes, and Jordan's rants) 9:30 - Revisiting the points we made about Infinity War 10:00 - Do comic book deaths matter? (And the vicarious fantasies that comic book movies offer.) 16:20 - Will there be a full resolution in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? 18:40 - Can Chris Hemsworth be a leading man? (See: Extraction on Netflix) 21:00 - Love for Chris Evans was well established from day one 22:00 - Does the relationship between Tony Stark and Pepper Potts work? (CJ wins an argument.) 25:00 - Do we like Nebula? A question which leads to a much larger point about the derivative dynamic between Nebula and Gamora 31:00 - OK...we need to talk about time travel (buckle up) 34:00 - Endgame was incredibly sophisticated and successful fan service 39:00 - Two big final points: 1. Pretty good stakes in Infinity War, not so much in Endgame; 2. Thanos' big chance to be meaningful was spent in Infinity War, but it was a miss 44:00 - We get back to arguing about Thanos -- the difference between UNDERSTANDING character motivation and FEELING it. (Spoiler: Jordan wins.) 48:00 - Things that we got wrong (predictions about Endgame) 52:00 - Coming up next (this part is a mess)

It's without a doubt that the MCU has been one of the most ambitious parts of cinema over the past two decades. We decided to delve into the women within the universe, from Pepper Potts in the first Iron Man film to Captain Marvel in the first MCU female led superhero addition. Our favourite performances, weird behind the scenes stories and our least favourite characters.

0:21 Adam ShepardWho would you be more excited to see direct a film in the MCU - Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, or Martin Scorsese? Bonus point for picking a franchise /character for each director.3:36 David RosenPutting aside for a second whether Disney would actually do this (and I don't think they would), do you think there is a marketing campaign that Disney COULD do to let general audiences know that the next Spider-Man solo movie does NOT take place in the MCU?9:04 Mookie JohnsonI've read the 3 Ironheart issues of her series on Marvel Unlimited and absolutely love them! My MCU question is can her movie origin be connected to Pepper Potts since Tony isn't available? Also, do you think Storm  Reid would be a good casting?12:05 MayaHi Sean! Bear with me because this is kind of a lot. After really thinking about it, the only heroes that are highlighted as parents are all male- Clint, Scott, and Tony. Although they are shown to be family-oriented, they are given a pass for always being away because they are “saving the day”. Do you think the MCU is hesitant to showcase mothers as superheroes because the idea of “being away to save the day” as a mother still has stigma associated with it? Much like the shame surrounding working mothers? I love seeing all the fierce, independent women in the MCU, but I can't help but wonder why heroine motherhood has not been explored. And when I say heroines I'm not talking about Pepper, Frigga, and the other minor mother characters in the MCU, but major characters like Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Valkyrie, Gamora, Nebula, etc. We've seen male characters as fathers, husbands, lovers, loners, friends, mentors, mentees, the list goes on, but we do not see this same range of identity within female heroes. I get that Marvel Studios is trying to break the mold of women just being caregivers, but I feel like we are beyond that at this point. Do you think Marvel Studios thinks having a hero-mom will diminish her as a superhero? I'm wondering if the only reason Marvel Studios is exploring motherhood with Wanda in WandaVision is because the setting is in the 1950s and potentially Wanda's fantasy world. Either way, I'm excited to see this finally getting explored in WandaVision, but hopefully we can see it in a current setting as well. Would love to know your take on this.23:22 Terry MortensenIf Marvel were to obtain the rights to Spider-Man while Sony is late in the process of making their own Spider-Man 3, do you think Marvel would release the movie as planned, reshoot some scenes, or completely scrap it for their own version?27:29 Tom DeMicheleThoughts on Doctor Strange having a mustache instead of a goatee for the sequel?28:25 Woo S KimWhat your your thoughts on the rumors of Max E. And Charles Xavier being played in the MCU by people of color, I have no issue with as long as is Max is still Jewish, what say you, Sean? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

But we are very excited to have you in our community and we look forward to talking to you today about how to grow your online business. So tell us a little bit about you and your background and what you are doing online? Beth Dekker: Well, thank you so much for having me. I have been listening to the podcast for the last few years but I only recently joined the community. I'm kind of at the very beginning of the process. But I am coming to the Flip Your Life LIVE Event this year and I'm really excited about that. I have spent the last 13 years or so as essentially a support person for small business owners. That's been kind of my day job for several different entrepreneurs. I've had many titles, a manager, executive assistant, studio director, but ultimately among all of them I perform the basic same functions Beth Dekker: I was essentially the business owner's right hand person. My skills generally are in like ideation, activation and restoration. I have pretty good abilities to organize and prioritize the lots of ideas that my different entrepreneurs were generating and make them reality. Over the years when I would tell people what I did, I generally got two main responses. Most of the business owners that I would talk to would invariably say, "I need a Beth." And the people who had similar skills would say, “I want to learn how to do that.” I had the idea to start a company back in, I think it was 2017 called The Right Hands. Beth Dekker: I developed my course called Superhero Management, to be able to train people to do what I do. So far I've taught several in person courses but I'm really interested in being able to scale up my company to be able to reach people everywhere and step into the membership model. I do have a kind of a newer relationship this year with a big coworking company here in Columbus, where I live and work. Where I'm providing some education to their members and they have several hundred members that are already kind of built in small business owners. That means for now that I'm offering workshops in their locations, which are both free and paid. But my hope is that I can use this to generate leads for future membership plans. Shane Sams: Awesome. I love your business. For all the game of Thrones fans out there. You kinda train people to be the hand of the king, right? Like you're like you're training like the person who goes out like you know that you've got this crazy ideas generated leader of the company who has all the great ideas and can set the direction and cast the vision, but you need somebody to like, bundle it together and actually execute all that and lead the teams and do all that. And you train people like how to do that. Correct? Beth Dekker: Yes. That's exactly it. I was doing it for a while and quite honestly, I mean this has happened throughout history. I mean, I think Alexander Hamilton is also one of the most famous, right hands in history, you know, to George Washington as an aid to come. This is certainly a position that has been around for forever. I didn't bet that but I did realize I was doing something a little bit more unique than people who maybe have the title of executive assistant or personal assistant or virtual assistant or whatever that may be. All of those things together. And then I realized it was being successful, but that when I thought about it, I was like, Gosh, this is actually teachable. I can teach what I'm doing. It's not just me. Shane Sams: Anyone that graduates your program, you need to send them the little pin with the hand with the sword behind it like in Game of Thrones. Like you are now the hand of the king. Jocelyn Sams: I'm pretty sure that's copyrighted. Shane Sams: Probably copyright infringement of some kind but it's kind of awesome. Jocelyn Sams: I understand what you're saying. I love it when you said that there's a difference between an assistant and somebody's right hand. And I totally agree with that. We've had a variety of assistants through the years, but there's one person that I kept coming back to. And the reason for that is because that person just really provides the skills that I need, and they have that training that I needed to do a lot of different roles. And you know, I often say that I call it the competent right hand. This person for me is like, she can do most of what I can do, which is amazing. It's just so amazing to have somebody who has that type of skillset. And most people are looking for that. Shane Sams: And it's a special person too because it really is a different role. It is not a virtual assistant. It's someone who you can trust to do all the things that you need to do but can't, and can't do, but need someone to do them. Right? They kind of take over. They kind of fill in all the gaps that are holding you back. And there's this like infinite trust in that person that they're going to carry out their mission. Right? Beth Dekker: A big part of my class talks a lot about the relationship and that relationship between that person and you're a small business owner or entrepreneur or whatever you want to call them, is based in trust. I did a lot of research. I did several dozen interviews with right hands and they're entrepreneurs before I launched my business and almost every one of the entrepreneurs said that their number one thing is they wanted it to be able to trust somebody who had an owner mentality. And so that they were able to trust them to be able to walk into a room. And for example, if the floor needed swept instead of them leaving the room and not doing it, that they would grab a broom and they would sweep it because that's what an owner would do. Shane Sams: Have you ever seen that meme, there's an awesome meme. That meets this criteria where we're at. There's this dead possum in the middle of the road. Jocelyn Sams: I mean, of course we would go there. Shane Sams: Jocelyn, its Kentucky, there's dead possums everywhere, right? But like there's this awesome meme with a dead possum on the road, it's got like the yellow line that goes down in the middle of the road and the yellow line, just paints right over the possum and keeps going. But you can't see the like the paint truck. And the meme's like not my job or something like that. Like the guys that were painting didn't stop, get out. Like that's what you really need your right hand to do. You need your right hand, to see something that's wrong even before you see it and fix it so you don't have to deal with it, and you can beat the visionary. Jocelyn Sams: I know that for me as business owner like what I want that person to do is to be a problem solver. I don't need to be involved in every single problem. If you can solve it without me, nine times out of 10 actually probably 99 times out of a hundred I want you to solve it without my intervention. Beth Dekker: The more I always say that the mark of a mature employee is somebody who is able to present a problem to their boss alongside a solution to that problem, even if it's not the perfect solution that they have made an attempt to solve the problem already, instead of just coming up and saying there's a dead possum in the road, they're actually going to make an effort. Shane Sams: We've talked about Game of Thrones and dead possums, so we're going to circle back around here. You don't, you don't find dead possums and Game of Thrones just everywhere, only on the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. You can be thankful for that. This is a really interesting niche. I've always been fascinated by your business ever since the first time we heard about it and just because it creates so much opportunity and I think there's a really huge market for this because you can elevate like there's a lot of people that do this for a living that could do it better. They could benefit from your course, right? Shane Sams: There's a lot of people who are in that virtual assistant role and may want to step up their game and become someone who's a higher paid employee who's a right hand to the entrepreneur and look, here's the deal. A lot of people want the flipped lifestyle. They want to be able to make money virtually or have more freedom or work with somebody who's really exciting and a really cool company and they don't know exactly how to do that because they don't want to own the company we hear that all the time. People come in, they're like, I don't want to lead a company. I don't want this business, but I do want to do something else. Shane Sams: We've had a few people on the show now that I've talked about other ways to do this, like we've, a few weeks ago we interviewed a virtual travel agent. We interviewed someone who teaches language online to Chinese students. We talk to all kinds of different people and I see this almost like that, like you're kind of training people to really thrive in a role that they're perfect for and be able to build that life that they want. Like a lot of these people are going to be virtual our, we call ours an executive assistant, that's what we call ours, right? Kathy? If you're listening, I may change you to the hand of the King and the Queen. Okay. We might change that, and I might send you a pin. Shane Sams: But like- Jocelyn Sams: And, Queen Shane Sams: I said, and Queen. I'm always in this as a team, tag team, duo here. But like that, that person is virtual for us. She lives in another town, a little ways away, we don't really meet in person a lot, but it's just man having a competent person that can handle all that stuff. Shane Sams: Like, we're getting ready to hire some new help for the summer person for some various like pop up tasks and we just know that we can turn them loose to her and that's cool. We don't have to worry about it. And this is a great opportunity for anybody out there. This could be something you could open up to and say, Hey, I could do that. I don't want to start the business. I don't want to teach the courses, but I could do that. And then you help people kind of elevate themselves into a role like that. Beth Dekker: Yes, exactly. And honestly, my background is in the arts and in theater specifically. And what I have found is that people that have that kind of creative brain, I'm more artistic brain, and that, but that enjoy kind of the organizational side of things often make the best right hands. And they generally kind of find themselves in positions where they are the support people, but they become kind of superstars in their own right and are able to really take on the right hand role as an executive assistant. Jocelyn Sams: Okay, Beth so I sort of already got a plan for your business worked out in my mind, but before we go there, I want to know sort of what are you doing online right now? So I know you said that you have like in person workshops that you do and I know that you have a website, so what is it that you're doing right now? Like are you actually selling anything and what does that look like right now? Beth Dekker: Sure. I have a Squarespace site and so I just sell essentially products on there, services on there and I have my classes on there. I have my main superhero management class which is a two session course, kind of the big one. I do believe that in the future it can be broken down even farther than that. It's a really dense course, but I have that class, and I have several other ones that are kind of more enhancing other skills that a right hand would need things like social media work, that kind of stuff. Beth Dekker: I have several classes online. I have some that are listed that are in person, and then I have the most are listed as live webinars. I'm selling those there. I have sold a handful of them this year, which has obviously been great. I've taught my superhero management class a couple times and then the in person ones a couple of times and they went really well but it's certainly not the numbers that I want to see. Shane Sams: Are these, okay, so the courses are all live or you have some that are prerecorded. What's the two session? Beth Dekker: They're all live. My goal is to do them prerecorded, but just because I'm just starting up, I just haven't gotten there yet. They're all live. Shane Sams: But you have done these online before to live audiences and you've got recordings of those, correct? Beth Dekker: I do, yes. Shane Sams: What do you charge for the workshop? Beth Dekker: That's another one of my issues is figuring out what that work. My smaller workshops that are more like 45 minutes, with a kind of a Q&A at the end are $45 a piece. But my large superhero management course, which is almost, it's a little over three hours over a two session course is a $149. Jocelyn Sams: Who are you marketing each course to? Shane Sams: Is it the same person? So the small courses are skills, so the large course is kind of like the base and then the skill development adds on top of the base, these smaller workshops, is that correct? Beth Dekker: Yes. Shane Sams: Okay. Let's say I'm right, let's say I'm a want to be hand to the King, I'm the foot of the King. I want to be the hand, right? And I come in and I'm like, okay, well I need to take the superhero management thing for one $149 right? And then I need to then shore up my skills in these other areas, other workshops like Ooh, I'll take the $49 social media course. Ooh, I'll take the $49, whatever course. Is that the correct flow that people usually go through this? Beth Dekker: Yes. That's kind of the intention I have divided up my site into, there's a button on the very front, it says, if you're an entrepreneur, click here if you're a right hand click here. And the classes that I've offered for each Avatar, if you will are different. Some of them are overlapping, of course, but they're slightly different. But yes, you're right. I think the superhero management would be the big one and then there's all these additional courses on the on the end. Shane Sams: Is there a course for the entrepreneur to learn how to train their hand of the King or whatever? Beth Dekker: No, That's definitely coming because that was something that I think as I went, I was going through your courses and I realized when I was really answering the question of Avatar and I was like, Oh, I'm actually selling to the entrepreneur, because they're the ones that are buying their employees this class. Shane Sams: But some people have bought them, but some people haven't. Correct. Beth Dekker: Right. I would say probably 75% of the courses were purchased by the entrepreneur. The other 25% were purchased by right hands or assistants that wanted to learn more about being a right hand. Shane Sams: Awesome. And now have you done any one on one actual training? Beth Dekker: Yes. I have done several hours of that kind of individually. Yeah. Shane Sams: Okay. So really what this looks like and the our goal for this call is basically to figure out how this turns into a recurring revenue model of training. Right? That's the goal to learn how to do that. To me, well, Jocelyn has got some ideas. What were you going to say first? Jocelyn Sams: My thought is that this is a perfect place to start for a membership site and I think that your mind is already gone there, right? Beth Dekker: Definitely. Jocelyn Sams: Yeah. So I think that you've already got a perfect start. In the end, I think this would be a perfect way to match people basically. What would you call it? Like a- Shane Sams: Like a head hunter service for right hands. Oh my gosh! Like if you had a bunch of entrepreneurs over here training and you had a bunch of assistants training to be entrepreneurs and you could connect them together like for a fee almost or like, or that would just be a benefit of membership. They would be able to network to hire each other or something. You know? Beth Dekker: That was my initial goal. That's, that was way back when when I was talking about it. Literally everybody I interviewed said, if you could give me a list of right hands right now that I could interview, I would 100% pay you a lot of money to do that- Shane Sams: And they would be guaranteed trained. That's what's amazing. Jocelyn Sams: I can even see this as like a certification type situation. Beth Dekker: Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking and I think what where I really got caught up though, in that is all of a sudden I was like, shoot, I don't know how to market or I don't know how to find the, I want to be a right hand audience. I had tons of entrepreneurs. I literally am sought on the street of people that know that I'm doing this and know me and they're like, “Hey, do you have anybody in mind for so and so.” And I don't have right hands in the wings right now that I have trained and I don't know where to find them and that's one of my challenges. Shane Sams: What we've got to do first is we've got to figure out what the actual membership looks like. Okay. And then this may evolve. This would be an interesting chat because its going to like I have a feeling that whatever we talk about in the next five minutes, will totally change by the last five minutes. Because we're going to have to like toy with this a little bit because you know like it's almost like it's not, we don't want to make this a job service necessarily. It's a benefit of the membership that if you train here, we could recommend you to entrepreneurs, right? You will have the opportunity to network with entrepreneurs. To me, this, I think you can charge quite a bit for this. Like you're talking about that $49 for a workshop, but like this is easily $50 bucks a month this might be a $97 a month membership. Shane Sams: This is a valuable thing because you're not only training people to get better jobs, but you're helping entrepreneurs to make more money by having a better team and training their team better. Right? All that stuff. Okay. So you're on the right path. And I'm drawing a picture here of entrepreneurs on one side, right? We're going to say hands on the other, like you're in good, the right hand person, right? There's definitely two tracks in the membership. You're going to have to go ahead and make this thing for the entrepreneurs. Like that's gotta be done like right now. Jocelyn Sams: Well, some of that is already done, correct? Shane Sams: She has webinars. Do you have slides that you've went through and all that stuff? Like when you do the presentations? Beth Dekker: Yeah. I have full prezis for all those. Shane Sams: Okay. So why don't, instead of just making new stuff, why don't you just kind of edit those up and clean them up a little bit and make those your courses right now and you could put all those in a membership area just like we do. Right? Okay. And so basically you tomorrow or this week could have the entire right hand side of the equation completely finished, correct? Beth Dekker: Yes. I certainly have plans for more classes, but yes, at the classes that I have right now I could. Shane Sams: Perfect. Okay, so we're going to put all those on this side. I'm drawing three squares over here to represent the course area. Cause that's the first step in any membership. Content is first we have to curate content into an organized plan that they should take in order or be able to al-a-carte and go get what they need when they need it. Right? So your course on the hand side of the equation, right inside the membership is going to look like this. Master, that big thing at the, why do you call it management? What was the name of that course? Superhero management. Beth Dekker: Superhero management. Yeah, because when I first described what I did to people, I usually told them that I was, I was busy managing superheroes because one of my first inspirations for this class was actually Pepper Potts in Iron man. I remember, 10 years ago, the first time I had the idea for this class was I was watching Iron man. I remember I turned to my husband and I was like, Oh my God, I'm Pepper Potts. Shane Sams: Amazing! All right. Do you explain that in the course? Like when you say that? Beth Dekker: I do, yeah. Shane Sams: Okay, perfect. There's the first course they have to take that first. I do think your instincts are correct about breaking that into parts, not just two sessions. Like you might be like, week one, you watched the first half of part one, right? And you go take action and learn and whatever, ask questions, what do you do? So you're just going to list these in order and that's going to be a course on the other side of your content area is the entrepreneur side where you're going to have like how to train your person, how to communicate with your person. I'm sure you've already got this all thought out, right? Beth Dekker: Yes. As far as that the initial class goes, yes. Shane Sams: Really I think entrepreneurs consider themselves whether they are not really busy, right? Beth Dekker: Yep. Shane Sams: Really getting an entrepreneurial in, is just, "Hey, I've got one course for you and then you're going to make your assistant watch the other courses." Really your only goal when you're selling to entrepreneurs is short course. I'm going to teach you how to communicate and train your person, your right hand and like it's going to take you 45 minutes of your life and you're done. Then you're going to turn the rest of this over to them, right? The better. And then you can add stuff later. But that's the initial jist of this is, let me get you started and then you're going to work with your right hand person just so we've got something in there for entrepreneurs to market. Shane Sams: All right. So there's your content area. All right. That's the first part of building a membership. Second part of building a membership is community. We curate content, imagine if you got a triangle drawn in front of you. There's a big C in the middle of it. There's three C's to any program like this. So contents easy, we've already got it all done. We just have to organize it correctly. The next part is community. How are you going to build a community of entrepreneurs and right hands. I don't know that. What do you think? How are you going to build it? How are you building it now? Like what do you think about that? Beth Dekker: Yeah, I thought a lot about that because one of your videos, I think it was a couple of weeks ago for the Flip your Life LIVE members and I do think that it will most likely be like a Facebook group where I'm able to come in and answer questions at a certain amount of time. I would love to be able to have some kind of live Q&A's on there as well. I do like facetime. I'm a facetime kind of person and I think that having that in there to be able to answer questions to each other is just great as a support group. Shane Sams: I think you're going to have to have them separate. You might need two groups in this case. Okay? Beth Dekker: Okay. Shane Sams: I believe your business owners need to maybe be in a group together. And that's where you train business owners and they can ask you questions on how to like communicate better, how to lead their team. This is definitely a leadership kind of group. And then you need your right hands a separate, completely separate from them for a couple of reasons. One, I think the entrepreneurs and the right hands would feel more comfortable only being around their peers. You know what I'm saying? Beth Dekker: Right, I agree with that. Shane Sams: Because you can say things that you can't say in front of bosses and bosses can say things that they can't say in front of employees. Beth Dekker: It's a safe space. Yes. Shane Sams: Exactly. Safe space to vent, complain, and do all that stuff and ask you questions- Jocelyn Sams: Or to talk about how amazing they are. Shane Sams: Or to brag on each other. You know what I'm saying? Because that's going to happen. Okay. But that also, if you're going to make a feature of this membership connecting entrepreneurs to the hands, the right hands, you don't really want them to talk to each other because that's something that you have to be the gatekeeper of. Because if they can find them theirselves, they wouldn't need you. Beth Dekker: Sure. Shane Sams: But there is a strategic reason to separate them other than we just want different groups like talking in the different groups. Is that okay? Does that sound good? Beth Dekker: Yeah. That's perfect. Shane Sams: The management of that's pretty easy because if you are going to do Facebook lives or any kind of Q&A lives, we have found that the best schedule is every other week anyway. Like we tried to do like weekly one time and it like, it actually was like too available so people would not come because they're like, I'll catch the next one. I'll catch the next one. Right. So it actually works really good on like a bimonthly monthly schedule like every other week. So you could do like week one and three could be the entrepreneurs and week two and four are the right hands and now you're only still doing like an hour, hour and a half work a week on these to manage those groups, it's just they're separate. You don't have to worry about it. Beth Dekker: Sure. Shane Sams: We talked about content. We talked about community. We got these two groups that we're going to set up for the different people. The third point in the triangle for any membership is coaching. Like it's being a leader. But I think you're going to kind of cover that on those Facebook lives, right? Like you're going to do that stuff. And you could even offer a one on one tier above the normal membership price. You could have like, cause you like doing one on one, you just said you like getting face to face. You like doing that consulting stuff. Correct? Beth Dekker: I do. Yeah. Shane Sams: I would just have a nice coaching package that's probably the same. It might be like the same price for either tier. If they wanted to have some one on one coaching in addition to the thing it'd be, it would give you something to sell on each Facebook live. Like maybe, you take three calls a week or something like that just to boost revenue. And that way you just got that leadership thing in there and you're good on both sides. Beth Dekker: Sure. Shane Sams: That's the membership. Like that's what it looks like. That's how you get people like into your stuff and it's pretty much mostly all created like you've got the Squarespace thing. You can sell access to courses on Squarespace, is that, is that correct? Beth Dekker: You can sell individual services and then you can also sell products. The issue is, I would need some kind of a plugin or some other program to be able to create like a membership space. Shane Sams: Why don't you just use something like Kajabi or click funnels? Because- Beth Dekker: I certainly can. I just have to learn. Jocelyn Sams: Or alternatively, you could create another website where your membership is housed, it could be like a wordpress website and you could just link to it from your original site. Shane Sams: Yeah, you could do something like that. How technical are you with stuff? Like you're using Squarespace. So I'm assuming. Have you played with wordpress? Do you know how to do that or not? Beth Dekker: I played with a little bit of my husband's site. He's a food and travel writer and his is on wordpress and so he knows it a little better than I do. I just feel, for some reason Squarespace works well with my brain. I built several sites on that program. I'm not opposed to wordpress at all though. Shane Sams: Well. Okay, so basically like wordpress of course is the cheapest option, right? Because you just buy the plugin, install it- Jocelyn Sams: But I don't think you have to blow away what you already have. I think you- Shane Sams: No, basically you just write a sales page and you use your same site for the sales page, with the little button clicked over to Right Hands community or wherever, the order form or whatever. Click funnels is really good with this because clickfunnels and Kajabi are both, not cheap, but they're also really good at really simple content based memberships. Like people would join, they would go to a page that had all your courses. Okay. So you might have two courses set up and then they can just click and buy and use what they want, log in there that handles all the payments and then as they buy or you just add them into your Facebook group if they're still in the course. That makes Sense? It's pretty, the only management part when you use something like a Facebook group for your community is the manual keeping up with who's actually paying. Like once a month you're going to have to go through, you're going to print the customer list, see who's payment failed, to see who canceled, and you've got to go remove them from the group manually. Shane Sams: That's why, what we do is we have all of our content, all of our community, everything is hosted on wordpress. That way if you cancel or your payment credit card fails, it just locks you out of everything. That's why we choose to do it that way but it totally works either way, it doesn't matter. All right, we've kind of built out what the membership is going to look like. We don't have to scrap your entire website you've already got. There's going to be- Jocelyn Sams: Sigh of relief on that one. Shane Sams: That's exactly right. No technical stuff. It's like start two Facebook groups done. Okay. Do you have any followup questions or is any of that confusing or what do you see with this plan? Beth Dekker: That seems great. I think that's a really direct way to do it. I think one of my main questions is, I do enjoy teaching classes in person and because of this relationship that I have with this coworking company here in town, which I'm hoping to be able to use that as a great way to sell my membership because they have hundreds of members. How should I balance kind of these in person courses with my online courses? Do I keep them 100% separate? Do I talk about them both on my website? Like how should I work that out? So it's not confusing. Shane Sams: It's really just an ascension ladder I think because what's going to happen is, it is a separate product kind of, but it's kind of like our live event. Like you're coming to Flip Your Life LIVE. Like Flip Your Life LIVE, flippedlifestyle.com/live boom, we'll see you there. Flip Your Life LIVE is like a separate product to us. Like it really doesn't like, it's not really connected with the membership. Like it has its own Facebook group, completely separate from the membership. We do trainings in that completely off the grid of the Flip your Life community. But it's kind of, what all roads lead to in the membership like we want, if you're listening to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, we want you to come to Flip your Life LIVE. If you're in the community, doesn't matter what tier you're at. We want you to come to Flip Your Life LIVE. Shane Sams: They're kind of symbiotic in the way they fill each other up. And I think that's what will happen here. You'll find that entrepreneurs will join, you'll make business connections, you'll go do your workshops, which are your courses. But like now you can get people to come to these workshops or at the workshops, you can sell people into your membership. Things are going to kind of flow back and forth and I don't know if you're going to have to like separate them like you think you're going to. That makes sense? Beth Dekker: Yeah. No, it does. When I look at my sales page, I look at it and I'm like, I know what's going on here. And I'm confused. I need to make sure that it, cause I know that the company that I'm working with does want me to have like a little registration area and that kind of thing and I think I need to divide that out so that when they're linking to me they're linking to a specific part of my site that is just what is going on with them. Shane Sams: We have our, if you want to join our, I actually just covered this in a training last night for Flip Your Life LIVE attendees, we have a sales page for the membership. Like if you go to flippedlifestyle.com/flipyourlife all one word, right? You're going to land on a sales page for our community and there's going to be three options to join either our standard membership our premium membership or the accelerator program. But our one on one coaching program, our private mastermind is not on that page. It's on a different page. Our Flip Your Life LIVE is not on that page. We don't even talk about it cause that's not what we're selling there. Shane Sams: They almost string together back and forth. Does that make sense? You're going to market them separately, but they're going to be very symbiotic and send people like for example, if someone buys a membership to Flip Your Life, the Flip Your Life community, their thank you page sells, Flip Your Life LIVE. If someone buys a ticket to Flip Your Life LIVE, we say on the thank you page, Hey, we just want to make sure that you're going to get the most out of your ticket. Are you a member? We want to make sure that it's not just someone who bought a live event ticket. They flow back and forth. But if someone literally asked, hey, I need to go to your workshop, you need to point them to the workshop page. And if someone said, "Hey, I want to join your community at the workshop.” You need to be able to point them back to the community where they're completely separate in that regard. Shane Sams: But I don't want you to think of it as like a different business. It's almost a different product. Beth Dekker: Sure, ok. Shane Sams: Would that make it, so do you have the workshops and the community on one page right now? Beth Dekker: I have everything on one page. Like I said, it really is just the past couple of weeks that I've been trying to build up this relationship. Shane Sams: That's a store is what you've got, not a sales page. Jocelyn Sams: A lot of people do this at first and it's totally fine. Like you just have to think like your customer. Whatever page someone lands on, what is the logical next step for them? And that's what they need to continue down. If they're a business owner and they're reading articles about how to effectively hire someone to assist them in their business, you don't want them landing on a sales page for people who are wanting to become an executive assistant or whatever. Shane Sams: They're actually, if I'm following you Jocelyn there'd be three pages. Then she would have an entrepreneur page where they would join the membership in a different way. There would be a right hand page where they would join the membership and then there would also be a workshop, which is like a group kind of hiring you kind of thing to come and speak to other business owners or something like that. Jocelyn Sams: If that's the way you want to set up your business, yes. Shane Sams: Sure. If you're going to do all three things. Jocelyn Sams: Okay, Beth let's find out if you have any additional questions for us before we go. Beth Dekker: I just really have, kind of one more because it seems like I have pretty much two different customers or two different avatars that I'm not sure how that affects my sales tactics for both of them or how that affects my lead magnets. If I am offering, say two different items, say that they could choose from, they could download either this pdf or this pdf, and that, that they could kind of choose which one or how that would work. If I'm using one thing to sell to two different people. Shane Sams: You've got, you're going to have different lead magnets for sure. And you do have two segments of your audience, but so do we, like there's some people who really want to go all in DIY, we have a DIY tier on our membership, right? That's marketed way different, than we would market our premium membership, which is more hands on with me and Jocelyn. There's two member calls a month or even our email program or even our Voxer program. Like, so you do market things a little bit differently in your language. But I don't know if you can get really, I don't know if you have to get away from only dealing with one person. Like you don't only have to market to entrepreneurs you don't like, you're really not selling the program to be the right hand or the program to train your right hand. Shane Sams: You're really selling you as the mediator between those two tiers. Like that's what your program actually teaches, right? It's like you're teaching those two entities how to exist and make great things happen together and maybe even how to find each other down the road. Basically it's like, if you had to make a schedule, it would be like, okay, well on Monday I'm going to write a blog post that's geared toward the entrepreneur, then have the lead magnet for the entrepreneur, five easy steps to train your right hand, right? Then on Wednesday, every Wednesday I'm going to release a piece of content that's geared toward the assistant or the virtual assistant who wants to step up in the company and be the right hand. And then they would have their own lead magnet. Like how to make more money being an assistant or whatever, so they have to have more skills. Shane Sams: And then Friday could be something like a management article of how to manage your right hand. Another one could be like, how to serve your entrepreneur and like there's, you just go back and forth and talk about different things. Like usually on like a Monday, I'll kind of send out a general email and the PS, will be something like, hey, if you're not a member, we have tiers as low as $19, whatever. And then maybe later in the week it might be like, Hey, I'm opening a spot in our one on one mastermind program that's x thousand dollars. Does that makes sense? You're just going to kind of bounce back and forth between the segments but you are going to need to think of them in silos. Think of them completely independently. It's just like where, it's just like coaches and players. They're all on the same team. You're not, you're not really dividing them up. It's your content is going to kind of speak to different people as you go. Shane Sams: I think what will happen as your sample size increases. I know that mostly business owners have bought it now, but there's a whole lot more people at the assistant level wanting to be a higher assistant level then there are business owners and I think this might flip eventually once you get more numbers, like into the funnel. Beth Dekker: That'd be great to see. Shane Sams: Because then you'd have more people to do it. Jocelyn Sams: All right. Beth, I am really looking forward to seeing what happens next in your business and what you're able to accomplish before the LIVE event in September. Before we close today, tell us what is one thing that you plan to work on based on what we talked about? Beth Dekker: I think I'm going to work on my, no I don't think. I am going to work on my sales page and build that out and then look at a building out the membership in wordpress. Shane Sams: Awesome. That's good. And Yeah, you just need to go tell your husband he's got to help you because he knows how to do it. Beth Dekker: There you go. Shane Sams: Listen, what a great call. Thank you so much. I love your business. Like ever since I've said it earlier but I really mean it. Like when I first heard about your business I thought, wow, that is something that every entrepreneur needs and everyone you know on the ladder needs to move up the ladder in their course in their a job. You've got an awesome idea and you're already seeing some things happening. And I know when you get this set up correctly, get the marketing in place that people are going to jump all over it. Just wanted to thank you for coming on the show. Again, being so transparent, letting us have a peek inside of your business and I know a lot of people out there listening are going to get a lot of benefit out of that today.

0:23 Woo S! KimOne of the things I am really looking forward to about the Sam Wilson/Bucky Barnes series is hopefully playing off of something in the comics, that being Sgt. Barnes' road to redemption, even with the Snap and The Avengers saving the world, a lot of governments around the world aren't going to forget all the people The Winter Soldier murdered in the last sixty years or so, do you believe this will be aspect of the show, Sean?4:52 Woo S! KimIn your Head Canon, who is NoobMaster69?5:26 Woo S! KimI have seen “Avengers: Endgame” five times, I get the feeling that Okoye is lying to the other heroes during the Google Hangout at The Avengers Facility.  I think she knows that tremors from under the African plate are caused by Atlanteans and she wants to keep this information under wraps because the Wakandans want to handle this matter, their own, however, this may have nothing to do with Namor, but do you see my point?   7:30 Alex WardDo you think by the time we see X-Men and the Fantastic Four in the MCU, the current state of things--half the population missing five years and the trauma involved--will have dissipated at least on the cinematic side of things? For example, do you think enough time will have passed that it won't get brought up by characters like Reed Richards and Professor X?10:03 Giuseppe VicarettiHey Sean, my question for you this week is how do you think Disney will distribute the episodes for the upcoming TV shows that will be coming to DisneyPlus? I personally don't have a specific preference to episodes being released on a weekly basis or all at once, but where do you stand? Do you prefer weekly releases over all at once? And what do you think will be the end result?21:52 Cory KostiukHey Sean
