Brian Hunt from Moonlight Brewing and Regan Long from Local Brewing Co. of San Francisco join Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha. They are both on the show today to talk about events that are happening this Saturday, October 14. Moonlight Brewing Co. has been around since 1992 and they are having a launch party on Saturday October 14 for a new beer called Boney Fingers. Brews on the Bay Brews on the Bay is also happening on October 14. It's a beer festival happening on the USS Jeremiah O'Brien, a decommissioned naval ship in San Francisco harbor. Get tickets at eventbrite, at this link. Local Brewing Co. of SF will be at Brews on the Bay this Saturday, Oct. 14. Brews on the Bay is focused on serving and promoting breweries based in San Francisco and in the Bay Area. Follow the links for tickets and list of participating breweries. Boney Fingers They taste some Boney Fingers, which is very dark, but is only 6.7% alcohol. Brian points out that it tastes like black coffee. The color comes from roasting the grains. The proceeds from Brews on the Bay go to support the Jeremiah O'Brian. See our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. They pour a Local Brewing SF beer called “69 Pils” which they started brewing during the pandemic. They used Australian Enigma hops, which are rarely used. Herlinda notices that it makes a strongly flavored beer even if the beer is light. Regan calls it, “nice and subdued.” It has a lower ABV at 5.1%. They won a medal at the North American Beer Awards a few years ago for this beer. Brian notices that this combination of hops provides a dry warmth and it is a delightful change from beers that tend to taste the same. They also taste Loud and Clear, their version of an IPA. They wanted it to be light bodied and not be bitter. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more.

The poise and self-possession NPR's Mary Louise Kelly exudes as a cohost on All Things Considered is not always how she feels inside. In Kelly's new book, she shares a very personal tale; a chronicle of her struggle to find time for family and friends as her globetrotting career grasps for every minute. Her new book is ‘It Goes So Fast: The Year of No Do-Overs.' As her oldest son prepares for college after years of missed soccer practices and birthdays, Kelly realizes there won't always be a next time. Plus, a local mom and entrepreneur is helping parents to pursue their own business while raising their families. Tammira Lucas and her sister TeKesha Jamison founded The Cube Cowork in 2016. The co-working space in East Baltimore, on Harford Road, opened during the pandemic. The co-working space features conference rooms, event spaces and, crucially for parents, babysitting services onsite. Lucas says childcare costs remain a significant barrier for parents looking to become entrepreneurs. According to Maryland Family Network, the cost of childcare is often the largest expense in a Baltimore city family with a median income.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you feel that you are going out of your mind, with spiralling debts, credit card interest and stress then this is the show for you. Today's guest is Jonathan Mendonsa a man who reluctantly walked into the world of frugal living, but now will never I assume go back. Yes he was a spender, and i guess at his core is still someone that likes to splash out on the finer things in life. But he knew he had to change as at the age of 28 he graduated college as a pharmacist with $168,000 in student loans. Now 4 years later he has clawed his way out and is pursuing Financial Independence. As he says “I feel I am qualified to talk about the normal path because I have lived it for the last 30 years. My hobby and passion over the last 5 years has become learning new skills and looking for ways to develop passive income streams. I also love to talk about what I have learned. I ran out of people in my immediate social circle to share all this awesome information with so enter ChooseFI… He has developed passive income streams, based around community building, affiliate marketing, information analytics, videography, career hacking, tax planning and entrepreneurship that he can discuss and share with the ChooseFI community. The podcast he and his co-host Brad Barrett created to highlight the tactics and stories of people who have chosen this alternate path has become one of the fastest-growing podcasts online. With almost 1 million monthly downloads and a hyper-engaged community with over 200+ local ChooseFI chapters throughout the world and in the words of Jean Chatzky, The Today Show's Financial Editor, “it (the FI movement) has grown to be a movement in large part because of a podcast called ChooseFI.” So with so many things on the go at once, does he want to run away to the nearest shopping mall for some major retail therapy? And how did he get the FI community up and running, and engaged? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Jonathan Mendonsa. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty subjects with Jonathan Mendonsa How Jonathan first went out and got the idea that being financial freedom was not just possible it was highly doable – so he did it. Why minimalism is a great starting point, but why not focus more for the value than going after the scarcity. Is failing a bad thing or should we simply look at failing forward as quickly as possible. And lastly………… Jonathan shares how his podcast has grown to massive proportions and the things he did to make it happen.

Yes, he was a spender. And I guess at his core, he is still someone that likes to splash out on the finer things in life. But he knew he had to change as at the age of 28. He graduated college as a pharmacist with listen to this 168,000 in student loans, how many meals at Hooters Can you have to wrap up? I don't know. Now, four years later, he's clawed his way out and he's pursuing financial independence. As he says I thought I'm qualified to talk about the normal path because I believed it for the last 30 years. My hobby and passion over the last five years has become learning new skills and looking for ways to develop passive income streams. I also love to talk about what I've learned, I ran out of people in my immediate social circle to share all this awesome information with so enter choose f5. Now he's developed passive income streams based around community building affiliate marketing information and analytics, video graphic video graphic. I should have saved videography, career hacking, tax planning and entrepreneurship, but he can discuss and share with his choose FBI community and the podcast he and his co host Brad Bauer created to highlight the tactics and stories of people who have chosen this alternative path has become one of the fastest growing podcast online. Yes, the swine. We've almost 1 million monthly downloads and a hyper engaged community with over 200 Plus Local choose Fei chapters throughout the world. And in the words of Jean Chatzky, but today's show is financial editor. It's the movement has grown to be a movement in large because of a podcast called choose, as I said, With so many things on the Go at once, does he want to run away to the nearest shopping mall for some major retail therapy and splurge splurge splurge? And how did he get the FBI community up and running and so engaged? Well, let's find out as we bring on to the show, to start join up dots with the one and only Jonathan Mendonsa. Morning, Jonathan, how are you sir? ChooseFI [3:02] David, I am doing great. And I don't think I've ever said this to another man before. But I really want to see the back of your garden, David Ralph [3:08] you come to the back of the garden. And we're sitting here and we will record live. Because actually, as we speak at the moment, I do recall that in the back of my garden, I've got a studio bear. And I thought to myself, I go home for lunch today. And I've been locked out, I can't get back into the house. So until my kids get back from school, I'm here I'm trapped. But I can't think of somebody nicer to be trapped with because Jonathan, you are a man who's been on a journey. And it's a journey that so many people are struggling with and you've come out the other side. Do you feel smug about it? ChooseFI [3:41] No, it's more than I just feel like almost this calling, or I have to tell as many people as possible. This idea that I think all of us have kind of been given this normal narrative that we're expected to follow to follow society's rules. And at a certain age that may or may not be considered our golden years, we have permission that is do what we want basically kind of our desires, whatever you wanted to do as a child has to go on a bookshelf. And then you have to go through the slog to get the house you get the car, get the second car, you have to get you have a second kid, you get the promotion, you get the next promotion, you work the corporate ladder, you somewhere along the way pay off the student loans, student loans, they may be so big that they may outlive you, there's literally means dedicated to the perpetuity of student loans, maybe at 65, there's some government security in place for you. And then you are allowed to do maybe go work on your golf game, something along those lines. I was on a cruise ship relatively recently, and I went on there with my family. And I should say that we're just kind of in our 30s. But I realized on the cruise ship that the vast majority of people that are on these cruises were like 60 years and older. And when they are asking people if they want to get off the ship, many of them just simply couldn't at that point. So finally they had the freedom to go see the world do whatever it is that they wanted to do. And they quite literally just had to stay on the ship at this point. That just doesn't seem right. Like why do we just get permission to our golden years? What does it look like to get our best years and I think just kind of thinking about that as a framework for you know, my personal story. And what we're talking about on the show is a really powerful way to look at it. David Ralph [5:10] Isn't that good vote to keep all the old people on the ship. So that can get me on the street easier. And you know, that's what Yeah, isn't it? ChooseFI [5:20] Yeah, that's the conspiracy from the top down. That's really what it's all about. You got it? I think David Ralph [5:24] so. So with yourself in you are based in Richmond, Virginia, which is a lovely place in the world. And here. Yes, I have been here many, many times. And yes, it's, it's one of those places I always hit in the summer, dirty, sweaty. I don't know how you guys charged? Yeah, I jumped out and I put the air con all the time. But for somebody like myself, what what interests me is I am I'm fine. I'm fine. financially independent. I, ChooseFI [5:52] I can cool to be able to say that, like when you say that I'm financially independent. I work because I want to not because I have to you're doing this podcast out of love out of a passion out of a calling, not out of any sort of scarcity. I need to figure out how to keep the lights on like, think about that, how powerful that is? David Ralph [6:09] Well, is is but what I also have to say is no matter how financially free I become a debt always appears, I've never got to the point where I'm totally debt free, no mortgage, yes. And then I take out a car loan, and then I pay off the car loan, and then some there's always something going on. Are you totally free from that? Are you totally free from you know, having the debt hanging around? Even if it's only a small debt every now and again? ChooseFI [6:37] Yeah, that's a great question. I think it just kind of depends on how you define it. So basically, the way that I consider financial independence is you have reached a number At which point, if you were to never bring in another dollar again, you could maintain your current lifestyle, right. So in my community, people do that. Either way, many people keep the money in an account and have the money grow the basically like if you decide to make the choice to pay off your mortgage, you're essentially locking in a three or 4% rate of return depending on what the interest rates are in your particular area of the country, I'm the United States going rate is just around 4%. UK may be different. As opposed to that other people say, Well, you know what the market, I believe that over time, the market will outperform that. So I am going to take the money that I would be paying towards my house, and I'm going to grow it and an investment account. And you know, I have the choice of any point I wanted to pay off my house, I could, but you know that that's my particular choice. But certainly other than the home mortgage, yes. 100%, debt free, no car debt, no. Student loans, and I'm not financing a couch or a blinds, there's nothing running, you know, parallel to that, Mike, my budget looks relatively simple. And then I personally would rather just hold on to the mortgage, but that's just more out of a cash interest rate arbitrage rather than something else. I think, you know, really the larger point set, the framework for your audience is really just talking about that, that kind of framework, because it ties so perfectly to the overarching theme of your show, which is joining the dots. And what I look at when I when I think of this is bandwidth, you know, how do you create bandwidth in your life, you so many of us when we're paycheck to paycheck, we are one financial crisis, even a tiny financial crisis, we're right next to the cliff, right? The financial cliff, we if our if the tire goes flat, it's a it's an existential crisis. If we lose our job, because of layoffs, or downsizing or whatever else, it's an existential crisis. If if there's something that we can do along the way to create that amount of space, it means that finally you might have the time in your life to actually start looking at what lights you up, to start thinking about how to make that next connection and really open yourself up to the possibilities of future that you can get excited about, you know, not 65 beyond but now let's start moving yourself slowly in that direction. And I think that's kind of like the my entire story, because I was sure that business of businesses, small business owners, I was sure that, you know, all businesses fail, the vast majority failed, quote, unquote. And I think along the way, one thing that I failed to realize is that while many businesses fail, those are that's the first failure. And most business owners, most entrepreneurs iterate on that first idea, and come up with something that works. But you can't do that, or it's very difficult and dangerous to do that. If one you have to take out a ton of debt to do it. And to you don't have any financial space, any financial margin in your life. So in my case, I googled in 1999, I googled, you know, top 10 professions, because I don't want to do this crazy entrepreneur thing that people are doing top 10 professions that you know, will guarantee that you quote unquote, make it and somewhere on that list was pharmacy right? and and you know, there's some other obvious ones on there, maybe now it's computer software engineer, or doctors or lawyers, you know, you can get up, it's probably a very stereotypical list of 10. Even still, but quite literally, for someone that wanted to guarantee an outcome. That's like, all right, well, I'm going to do one of these. Now you're saying, Well, that sounds kind of dumb, but I guarantee you that there's tons of I'm not the only one tons of people do this, because we want to take the safe path, right? Love this guaranteed outcome. David Ralph [10:07] Did you get fed up with talking about this, Jonathan, because I can hear the passion coming from you. But I bet I bet there's people around you that goes okay, john, okay. I know it. I know it, just just give you know, we've even got a critic in the Back Bay bad enough. ChooseFI [10:23] Ya know, I never get tired of it. And they may get tired of it a little bit here. Fortunately, we're only here on Mondays and Fridays. So you get three days of break in between? Yeah, so I mean, like, that's kind of the path I followed. And so to become a pharmacist, you know, it's four years of undergrad, and then it's four years of pharmacy school, so eight years of education. And so I graduate with $168,000 in student loan debt, and then four years pay that off, because I just, you know, you can kind of sense that he's kind of anti debt for the most part. So I was like, I gotta pay all this off. It's 12 years. And by the end of that little cycle, I kind of burnout, right? I mean, just, my quality of life in this job has just gone down. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I mean, in retrospect, you'd look back and say, there was a lack of passion that led you there initially. So that was probably one mistake early on. But the larger point was, this guaranteed path didn't allow me to feed that creative instinct, that creative juice, right, that that I think all of us at some level probably would enjoy would lean into would make for a happier work environment. And what's interesting about that, though, even though, you know, my quality of life was was kind of going down the hill, as I was staying in this gig. I had no debt now, right? That's the one thing that I did right, is that I crushed my student loan debt burden, if I had $168,000 in student loan debt, and immediately when I graduated, I had grabbed that high lifestyle, you know, that we've kind of just described earlier with maybe the multiple car payments and the large house and the extravagant entertainment budget and private school for kids and all that are jazz, like, I probably would have just felt trapped, right, I have to always make sure that I can continue to fund that lifestyle need to do whatever it takes to happen. That's what you see people, when they first get that first job, they get their first taste of safe money, they immediately inflate their lifestyle to be able to sustain that, even though what they're really just sustained is payments. And what so i what i did personally, is, when I graduated from school, I just kept my lifestyle very, very lean, we bought a very modest home, we bought a very modest car, we paid off all of the you know, we paid off the car note. So there was virtually in the United States, our cost of living was probably somewhere between 30 to $40,000 a year depending on depending on the you know, depending on the year, and that allow me to effectively achieve a 70 plus percent savings rate, and just crush that student loan debt. And that math is really helpful, you know, in terms of met charting your own particular path to financial independence, in that it's pretty obvious if your paycheck to paycheck, you can never retire. If you can say 25 percent of your income, then that means that you work three years, you can take a year off, if you can say 50% of your income, then that's pretty obvious, too, right? You could work a year and take a year off, you can do that forever. But it's little more nuanced than that, that if you can save 50% of your income for even a relatively short period of time, like 10 to 15 years. And you invest that into pretty common sense investments. I'm not talking about cannabis and Bitcoin here, just regular index fund investing, low cost index fund investing, you can get to the point where working is optional, basically within that interim, interim period of time, and it's not get rich quick, which usually leaves you a little bit broken better and your money in someone else's pocket. But it's get rich, quick ish, which can work every time because it's based on simple math. David Ralph [13:44] Now, I love this. And there's a lot of movements out there at the moment. And there's one of the things that I got in about was minimalism. And I thought this is brilliant. If you reduce the amount that you've got, then you don't have to service Batman by going out to work. So for a while I was into that. And then it started to get a bit sort of icky, where I was seeing people who were, you know, you go into the house and it was like a cave with one garden chair, and one spoon and one another on come on, you need a little bit more to it. Now, what we're saying here, we're just saying sort of, it doesn't have to be too far into the sort of the been landing in a cave scenario. It's just ChooseFI [14:31] did you just establish David Ralph [14:32] he was my number one minimum. So I can just imagine him sitting there on a garden chair with a spoon waiting for the Americans to find him. So it is is that a problem? When people look at this? And they go, Yeah, I'd love to be financially free. But it's all a bit crap. I like to go out for a meal. I like to do this, I like to do that. Is it just about sort of reducing what they like to do by half to make a small difference? ChooseFI [14:58] Wow, it I genuinely love this question like this is the heart of it, isn't it? I think that when you go through life, just purchasing everything, you have no cost, it's almost impossible to know what you value, because you're just going to get it right. And if you can't afford it, you'll just finance it'll all work out, I can afford the payments. And the reality is you simply can't afford it. You know, you simply can't afford the risk that comes with financing everything in your life. But to your larger point, like finding that balance there, I'm kind of the same way no one. I mean, no one will look at me and say, well, that guy's a minimalist. So you just and I think that's kind of like it's both cool. And it opens up the door. For us. minimalism is incredibly powerful as a concept, my slight pivot on it that me and my co host Brad have kind of leaned on is this idea of focusing on value. And so minimalism, the heart of minimalism is intentionality, right? Do you, you know, cut ruthlessly on the things that you don't value and spend lavishly on the things that you do? I think some people certainly would say it's the white wall, it's Apple, it's the you know, it's the certain it's just a very minimal setup. And but I think you can probably the common sense individual can take the heart of minimalism and apply it to their own life and tie it to this and find their own balance point for them. So for example, what would that actually look like? You the average individual that's burned through 10, or 20 years of just consumption, has no idea literally no idea what their life costs? What would it take to unwind that? Well, the most obvious place would be just to track your spending over a 1234 month period of time, I don't know why I have three four in there, I just felt like maybe instead of three will say four months. And once you do that, then you finally have a sense of where your outflow is where your outflow is going. And you can make this as high tech there. Certainly software solutions for this or a low tech get a very minimalistic pen and paper, I don't care. I'm not going to judge you for it. But once you've done that, now we know what we're spending on. And so once you go through that, now you can start what I would say, Yeah, I actually would say, cut to the point of deprivation, I mean, just barely to the point of deprivation, right? And then once you've reached that point, you're like, Man, this is not so much fun anymore. Start adding back the items that you really miss. I mean, now, you know, I actually value this, do you really value the subscription magazines that want a free trial you got three years ago, the only reason you haven't cut it out? Is because you didn't want to make a phone call? Do you really value the 300 channels that you have on TV? And you go to that and there's nothing on? And you say that out loud? Does Do you really value that? David Ralph [17:29] value that but it's their wives that do value Unknown Speaker [17:32] that? David Ralph [17:34] Because you know, I could cut back on everything, I'd be quite happy. But my wife, she likes it. How do you overcome that when one person is going, we're going to come back and the kids are going Please don't. I want the Disney Channel because I've had that anytime. a five year old crying for a whole weekend because I was getting rid of the cable. ChooseFI [17:52] That's hilarious. I can't help you with all the kids that's on you, brother. Let's talk about your spouse for a second. This is a really important conversation. So one of you listens to my podcast or this podcast, and you're just like, I'm going to go crazy, we're going to get rid of everything. We're cutting it all out and go home and you tell your spouse about this crazy plan that you concocted say we're doing this. And she looks at you like you developed a third head, right? This is about tactics, right. And it's about aligning your life, your as in plural, you know, you and your spouse are on this journey together. And if you're going in opposite directions, two ships are going to crash, right, you need to get alignment there. In order to do that it's going to require more than you drop in the master plan. It's going to be a conversation, I think one of my best example that the most crystallized example I have of this, there's a documentary that's going to be it's actually available now there's actually a screening in London, but it's going to be all around the world. And you'll increasingly hear about it called playing with fire, talking a little bit more about this movement in financial independence. And in this documentary, Scott comes home to his wife Taylor with this master plan. And she kind of gives them that two heads, you know, look that we're just described. But ultimately, what he does in this exact situation is he says Taylor, what I'd like for you to do is make a list of like the 10 things that you value your most your ideal day, like what makes your day and he just had her take some time, not on the fly, think about it, come back to them with her 10 things. And she read through those. And then once they had that once he had that he just made observations that you know, as you just pointed out, Hulu or TV TV wasn't on there. And to just other items, like a lot of the items that were on there didn't include didn't include like what you would expect it include the Louis the time the expensive handbags, expensive car, like you just wasn't there and involved, a husband is being present, right? It's putting the phone down time with their baby quality time, just like the list went on and on it. And if you think about it, you're like, Oh, yeah, of course, that would be amazing. But think so many of us have bought into this idea of convenience, and the pleasure that comes with convenience. And we trade that for happiness all the time. So the object of this is not to be miserable. I'm miserable and rich, you winning. Instead, focus on what actually makes you happy, right? And you won't do that. If you always do what's convenient. There's a great quote by jersey record, I love this quote, but I have so much trouble saying his name. But basically the quote says, easy choices, hard life, hard choices, easy life, you're going to have to slow down in your life and actually consider what is it that makes me happy. Now what brings me the most pleasure all of us like checking our Facebook, all of us like checking to see if we got any likes or any retweets or anything else. But what actually makes me happy. And if you look at that over a duration over span of several weeks or several months, the cadence of your life, it's probably not going to involve Netflix vendors, right, especially when they screw up the finale. Yeah, David Ralph [20:49] my wife is saying, I know she's going to seven, seven series of Games of Thrones, we've been about four days. And she can't get the last one she can't get and she's she's going mental. But let's play some words now. And then we're going to come back because I'm going to tell you gentlemen, what I did to my wife, this is this is sexy time. Here we go Jim Carrey Jim Carrey [21:09] my father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that that was possible for him. And so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant. And when I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job. And our family had to do whatever we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you can fail at what you don't want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love. David Ralph [21:35] Right. So this is how I did it with my wife to get on board. And she's not totally on board, because you know, give her three grand, she's going to spend three grand, but um, basically, she was doing all these little jobs and she would work in a pub, and she do a bit base and she do a bit of a, and I wanted her to reduce her hours that she was working elsewhere. And it wasn't gonna be dramatic. But I said, if we drop this package that we're paying, that you say that you want on the TV, sailor Amazon, but you don't really because you got Netflix, and Amazon is not that important. That means that you can drop down three hours a week, but you don't have to work. We're saved. And I'll give that to you. You know, I'm happier. But you're having it and you're not working van, it's just going off to this big corporation. So that's how I planned it. And I went through everything saying, right, I'm going to drop this down a couple of stages, we were paying this, let's go down to the budget version. And then you can have the money she bought into that she bought into that quite quickly. And once you get into that sort of mindset, you can't go back because you realize, as you say that the finances are slightly out of control some somehow and more often than not, it's just effort to regain that control. ChooseFI [22:52] Yeah, and what you did is you tied money to her life, energy, your life energy. I mean, that's Vicki Robin, and your money or your life was a book that was released in the 1990s essentially made that same case, are we making a living are we making a dime, when you look at your clothing rack, you know, and it's full with all the latest name brand stuff, the latest tech toys or whatever else, realize that ultimately what that represents is your life energy, right. And while obviously like all of us are going to have stuff and enjoy stuff, to varying degrees, make sure it's something that you don't look back at with regret. And to your lot to that quote which man Wow, I've heard it now multiple times to Jim Carrey as I was listening to episodes of your podcast. And what's so amazing to me is how true it is, and how you can even iterate it slightly to give yourself a couple different outcomes. So like in the case of his father that decided to take the safe path in this account, and then was just laid off, right. So the one path should be never take a safe, safe route. But some of us feel like we're already pot committed. In my mind, if we're already there, we've already chosen that that path. Let's make sure that we have an escape route for ourselves, right? Let's like don't don't, here's my biggest fear advice. Don't leave your only stream of income without plan. There you go that that feels like that's probably bankable. Now behind that though, how do we give ourselves th

Airing date: 03/02/2019 Researchers Our Smart Home Be Big Brother - Health Records On Smart Phones - New Browser Attacks - Momo Challenge Craig Peterson: 0:00 Hey. Hi everybody. Craig Peterson here, it's time for our weekly radio show. A lot to cover as always, it has been a very fun week. For me. I have really been enjoying this as we've been doing more and more content for our Insider's site, and the people who signed up for this master course. And welcome aboard. Thanks, everybody, for being with us. You are, I'm sure going to continue to love it. We've had great feedback, more and more people giving us just, you know, a little bit of encouragement, which I always, always appreciate. Let me tell you, it is difficult to put some of this stuff together and to do it. Yeah, you know, so I appreciate the appreciate should including here on the radio show. So welcome to everybody. I had a couple of conversations last week about some of the browser hacks that are going on so we're going to cover that again there's a new browser attack a whole new type the to really just kind of an old browser hack that is back again. Some very troubling news coming out of Hawaii and some scientists over there we're going to talk about and no, it's not about the volcano or global warming. It's about Alexa and what they're proposing trusting online reviews. This is a biggie, biggie, biggie, can you really trust them? And you know you go to a site like Amazon or eBay. And what do you see on there? You see people saying, Oh, this is the greatest thing ever. I love it. It's too big. And sometimes, oh, no, it's too small. It's never worked for me. How legitimate are those we rely on and those don't we know. We're going to talk a little bit about that China, they are doing some interesting things with pigs over there. you know, about the tracking that the law enforcement doing here to try and catch bad guys. And that makes sense, right? We want the bad guys caught on and off the street in London, the most surveilled city in the world, at least, it used to be, it's probably Shanghai nowadays. But in London, you can't go anywhere and not be caught on one of these closed-circuit cameras. Well they're doing the same thing now and trying and with pigs. And we'll talk about why Android it kind of, you know, kudos to them. They've had all kinds of security issues they now have part of what's called Fido available on their devices is a fast identity thing, we'll talk about that and its use. We're just not gonna have enough time today, the Federal Trade Commission is ruling is find here a $5.7 million to a company that has an app called TikTok. And this is under the law that was passe, man it's been a few years now, I can't remember. I'm kind of looking through the article to see if it says when it came up at the COPA regulations, and it went beyond the statutory limits as to say that story. And storing health records now is a big business and Apple's trying to get into the game as, as Google and of course, many others, because there's so much money in it. But how about the privacy side of it is Apple going to continue to keep your data private. and in this case your medical data private. We've got a note to this week, from one of the listeners to the podcast, he texted me and he was asking about this Momo challenge, then. So I want to bring that up as well. So a very busy day. Today, I'm going to try and keep these things short. But you know me I'll just have to explain them in a little bit to detail. So here we go. Now, you've been online, I'm sure you've been to YouTube. This even made it onto most of the news sites is 24/7 news cycle that we have nowadays. But that bucket challenge writes the Ice Bucket Challenge. It was phenomenal. From a fundraising standpoint, it really helped to raise some funds for a very good cause. And the whole idea was, Hey, I'm going to get a bucket of water, I'm going to fill it with ice. And I'm going to dump it over my head. And it's part of a fundraising campaign where people would donate, you know, and if you do it I'll give you 10 bucks, or I'll donate 10 bucks to it. And so they did it, which is really kind of cool. I'm glad they did all of that. Well, there's an internet home that's been around for a while now it is a hoax. But there is a problem with this as well. And it's called the Momo challenge. It's been spread by users on Facebook has been talked about in the media and different channels. And the whole idea behind this reporting is that children and teens are getting enticed by this username Momo, to ultimately commit suicide. And the whole concept is you start out small, you do some  you know, almost innocuous things, and then it gets keeps getting more and more violent. There's attacks and then eventually suicide. And it really reached worldwide proportions last summer, in July 2018, and the number of actual complaints was actually quite small. And there's no police force that is out there right now that I could find that reported that anybody was ever harmed as a result of this phenomena. no direct result, right? There could be other things and there's a great by the way page about this up on Wikipedia that you might want to check out. But reports about this and the awareness of the digital challenge rose again this month after police in Northern Ireland posted a public warning on Facebook. And that's a problem it keeps popping up. As you know, we're actually concerned parents concerned police departments are trying to say hey, listen, everybody, keep an eye on what your kids are doing online because it could be very dangerous, which is very, very true. It could be. Let's see Momo WhatsApp messages apparently are being used to try and convince people to contact them and their cell phone there are some other ones out there known as blue whale where players quote unquote players are instructed to perform a succession of tasks and refusing to do so gets met with threats. So, the messages are often accompanied by frightening or gory pictures. It really does appear to be a hoax. I've got a country by country breakdown where they have looked at this and the problems Quebec the police forces of the Longueuil, Sherbrooke, and Gatineau have indicated that people in their jurisdiction have been approached to participate in the Momo challenge. But there are no reports of any victims. They're asking people not to use a phone number provided in the WhatsApp messages to send screen captures and images of the of the phone to police authorities. Bottom line the phone numbers that have been used in these hoaxes just don't work. It goes through Columbia, Europe, Brazil, France, Germany, Luxembourg, India, Mexico, so pretty extensive run down and you'll find that online as well. Just look up Momo challenge over on Wikipedia. And thanks to the listener that sent in that question. It's a good question and good concerns. And it's hit the news cycle again, because of these police in Northern Ireland. So next up here, let's talk about this new browser attack that has been hitting people. Now one of the most interesting parts of this to me is it's not really a new attack. This particular type of attack was first documented in a research paper back in 2007, this new attack is called MarioNet. And what it does is it is opening the door for creating huge bought net and button that's are used to do a lot of things. They're used to attack businesses, somebody they don't like for their political opinion might be attacked with a botnet and the botnet then ends up sending just malicious data, basically, to whoever the intended victim is. So their website goes down, and they can no longer really conduct business at all. That's what a botnet that is there. They're also used for other types of attacks. And now the real big thing for botnets is called cryptojacking. And what cryptojacking does is it allows the bad guys to use your browser your machine in order to earn Bitcoin for themselves. And just oversimplifying it dramatically. Now, previous versions of this allowed you when you shut off your web browser, or close the window, get what it's no longer running. So the bad guys, we're not using your computer any longer. However, there is a new feature that has been added to the modern web browsers, it's using an API called service workers. And this allows the website to isolate the operation of the service worker from a web page. And the idea is that the web page UI isn't going to freeze up when it's processing a lot of data. So you could go and this is there are legitimate purposes for this, you go to a website, and you wanted to have a look at something that a history of 23andMe type of site, for instance, I might do real-time live analysis, which 23andMe does not do, by the way, I don't want you to think poorly about them for that. But the service workers really are an update to an older API. But now this MarioNet, which is actually supposed to be pronounced to marionette, but it's spelled MarioNet, it's taken advantage of these things. It's a very silent attack, it doesn't require any user interaction at all the browsers on going to alert you about it, they're not going to ask for permission before registering your service worker. everything's happening under the browser's hood as the user waits for the website to load. And about, the only thing you're going to notice is that if it's used for cryptomining is that your machine is going to slow down, slow down a lot. But let some place malicious code on your high traffic websites gain a huge user base, it's it's a very scary thing. And there's not a whole lot that you can do about it, unfortunately. So the research is going on, it's been discovered. So, expect patches from all of the major vendors out there. And they will be hoping, hoping to have them fix this. Some vendors are course better at patching than others. And you already know who I think are some of the better ones. If you want privacy then the Epic browsers. Fantastic. The Google Chrome browser is the industry standard browser, frankly, very good browser. And Safari is very good. Dead last one you should never use is Microsoft Internet Explorer. They have their new Edge browser, which is nowhere near as bad as Internet Explorer. But Microsoft has come to realize that all other browsers are terrible. So Microsoft is switching over to Google Chrome. So in the future, the little IE button is going to launch the new Edge browser, which is not really IE Internet Explorer, nor is it edge it is actually Google Chrome. So how's that for a good time for all but at least Microsoft is finally realizing that they have no idea how to make a good web browser, right. So let's talk a little bit here about your health record, Great article that NPR has up, on their website about storing health records. I saw a lot of mentions of this all over the internet. So I had to have a look at it myself. And he, Well, he would back up a little bit. The author of this is Laura Sidell, and it's talking about Sam Cavalier, he's a San Diego tech worker. And he is using Apple's Health app. And a lot of us are, particularly people who have the Apple Watch, who might have some concerns about their cardiac rhythms. All of that stuff can be tracked now on your Apple device. So he's using the Apple Health app in order to keep track of his weight to his exercise routines, how many steps he takes a day find that really too when I'm going out and I'm walking, how far have I walked, where did I go, and I'll do the walk around the mall in the walk around the blocks. And it's really kind of nice to be able to see that and have that all tracked. Well since March last year. So about a year now, Apple's had a feature that allows people to store their medical records as part of the Health app information. Then the University of California, San Diego health where this guy, the same guy goes to get his medical checkups, etc. But UC San Diego is one or more than 200 healthcare providers in the US who are using this new health records feature. He travels a lot for work, he likes to keep track, that was blood pressure. And he has a special confidence link to his health app. And he likes the convenience of having that app and really having all those records there with them. If you travel a lot, it's can be phenomenal to have all of your health records with you in case something were to happen, right? Doesn't that make sense? And then the doctor can also look at it and see what the trends are, and analyze where they're not, there might be some sort of a real problem with the guy's health that they may be want to have a look at. Well, the global health industry is expected to reach $10 trillion by 2022, which is absolutely phenomenal. Just health alone is bigger than any economy of any country other than the US and China. And I mentioned earlier, we've got Apple who's in the foray, Google is in it. And so is Amazon and Microsoft, trying to get a piece of the medical pie in retail pharmacies, artificial intelligence for disease detection, and healthy living apps. And we've seen some of these apps, we've seen already that some of these computer programs are better at spotting skin cancer than even a cancer doctor is, that's actually pretty cool when you get right down to it. And they let you take a picture of moles, and they track the moles over time. And they look at the edges of the moles to see if they are real little rough, they look like there might be precancerous, etc. So the AI part of it, at least machine learning is really going to go a long way. And Apple has invested a lot in machine learning. If you have one of the newer iPhone models, it has a machine learning chip dedicated to machine learning built right into it kind of makes me wonder if maybe that's part of Apple's goal. That's why they put it in there. And part of the reason I should mention too is Apple tries not to send any data up to the cloud that it doesn't absolutely have to send up to the cloud. Which also means makes a ton of sense to me anyways. It's not like Google or Amazon that basically send everything up to the cloud for processing. Apple tries to process it locally, which is really good from a security standpoint. So where are things going? I read a really great article about Apple and their direction just yesterday because a lot of people are saying, Hey, listen, iPhone sales are slowing down. Is this the end of apple? What should we be worrying about it? What should we be doing? And it turned out that no, no, no, none of those things were true. Apple is looking to get into the service areas. And one of them, of course, is health care. Now, having privacy as a key like Apple does, and has done for quite a while is a big, big, big win for our friends over at Apple, because people are now used to expecting maybe that's even a better way to put it. People are expecting Apple to keep their data safe. And frankly, I think they will. Their CEO, Tim Cook's been very vocal about privacy rights. He also is really ticked off at Google and Facebook for making money off of user data, which is I know, I go back and forth on that. But they certainly do keep it private. So how about you? What do you want to do? Do you want to give your medical data to any of these big companies, Facebook, or Amazon, Google, Microsoft or Apple, there are pros and cons to all of it. And the whole HIPAA regulations, that whole thing was supposed to make it so that our information would be digitized. And we could take it with us as we moved around the country or change doctors. But somehow that really hasn't come into fruition. Frankly, I don't know that it will, hey, I want to talk about this other thing right out of the universities. This is the University of Bergen. And we're going to talk about this conference over in Hawaii, and how this could have a huge, huge impact on our privacy. There was a conference in Hawaii here recently. And they were talking about our fish, artificial listening devices. And we have those all over the place, we just found out that if you have a certain smart thermostat that's been on the market for a while that built into it was a microphone people had no idea it was there. And I personally don't like that idea, right. So it had a built-in microphone that was kind of hidden. Frankly, there's no mention of it in the marketing materials in the owner's manual, nothing. And then the company decided just about two weeks ago, hey, we're going to turn on that microphone so that you can ask questions and get things done. And it's a piece of hardware that Amazon had picked up through one of its acquisitions. So we have these we have the Amazon Alexa is we have our series, we have our Google Homes, and there will be many others, of course, coming over the years, I'm sure, but one of those three is probably going to be the winner. So we have these in our homes. We've already talked on the show about police departments who have since subpoenas to get the audio from these devices. And frankly, those subpoenas don't really go very far. Because they don't really have the audio from the devices, all they'll have is the audio for about 30 seconds after you give it the wake word whatever your wake word is. So in other words, you might wake it up by calling a computer or whatever might be, and it responds, it listens for up to 30 seconds, sends out audio up to the cloud words process tries to figure out what you're talking about. And then and then goes ahead and processes. And I should mention too, that on that exact same front, a lot of people are upset with Apple, and how Siri just doesn't perform as well as Alexa does, for instance, or as Google Home does. And I want to remind everyone, again, it's a trade-off on privacy in the apple space. It's trying to do as much of the processing locally as it can. And so it doesn't have all the benefits of all of the cloud data that has been collected and stored and analyzed by the other competitors out there. So Apple, Apple is in a bit of a disadvantage because of their privacy stuff. Anyhow, the devices are listening. So these scientists over at the University of Bergen decided, hey, let's do a little bit of study on these devices. Can we turn these into monitors for the home? And what they are suggesting is that these smart devices should have built into them in the future what they're calling a moral artificial intelligence so they're sitting there listening to what's going on they should be able to say wait a minute and it sounds like somebody's getting a beating, somebody's a whooping. Okay. And whooping weapon me not a great idea, right? But is frankly, the device really shouldn't be responsible to try and decide whether or not it should call the police on your behalf. I get it if you tell it if you wake it up and say you know, call the police it should right but if it's just listening does not sound like 1984 is in that very Orwellian where it's listening and it tries to make decisions based on all of this, right? It's, it's an interesting problem. If you ask me. The University of Cambridge has stepped in and made their little comment saying humans and human situations are far messier than what the scientists over there from Norway, University of Bergen has been really saying and contemplating. Because you think about family and family dynamics, and there can be some pretty heated arguments, but that doesn't mean that there's a crime committed or someone was particularly harmed and when we see some agencies being very, very ready to just grab children and run away and then investigate later is is it something that's legitimate, something we should be doing? We had in the UK in April 2018, the House of Lords artificial intelligence committee said that ethics need to be put at the center of the development of AI so there you go. And Britain they're poised to become a world leader in the controversial technology field of you guessed it moral artificial intelligence. And remember, I said the Londoners are some of the most surveilled people in the world. It's very, very interesting. Also, in the UK, they are European actually parliament, they are looking at creating a legal status for robots. And it goes on and on. We have a lot of things we've got it assigned on over the next few years when it comes to artificial intelligence tracking us. And this whole concept of moral artificial intelligence, which frankly, really kind of scares me. Well, I don't want this article to just go away. We have a couple of minutes left here. And today's show. So let's talk about this. This is called Fido, it's been around a little while. If you use your key or some of these other hardware tokens, many of them tie into Fido. And the idea behind Fido is to have a mechanism that gets rid of a password. That's the bottom line here, password list web. And that's the goal. So if you go on to the Internet, and you go to a particular website, the idea is that you can use this Fido certification to figure out if it's really the person that says it is right. So automated Google Play Services update is going to push that to your device. If you have that turned on. You can this is for Android, obviously they can log in with other forms of authentication compatible with final to spec like the yubi keys are or Google Titan. Titan was an internal project at Google, they use it for life getting into all of their devices. And now they are marketing that it's available for purchase. So have a look at that as well. We're helping a lot of businesses move over to start using hardware keys, particularly in the medical and legal realms, where access to information is severely limited on the legal side, right. So let's see final two supports can allow Android to accept secure web logins using these devices including Bluetooth by the way so you can use your smartphone as part of your identifier Google's anticipating fingerprint nothing authentication will be the easiest way just like to become the users preferred method and in this case it doesn't send your fingerprint to the website the fingerprint is analyzed locally and then there is a cryptographically secure handshake that occurs between the website and your final compatible device anyways, there's a lot there. Naked Security blog had a very good article on this if you're interested. It's up on my website as well. http://CraigPeterson.com. But that's it for now. I had a couple of really great webinars this week. I want to mention one for the FBI Infragard. This is their National Cyber camp program and it's really really kind of cool so I did a whole webinar on that for the leaders in all of the 80 Plus Local in for guard chapters. But as you're thinking about summer and summer programs and camps, have a look at that if you are an InfraGard member and if you're not, check it out Infragard.org. You'll find out more there, about what they're doing with this whole FBI related program. So, that's it for this week. Have a great week. And we'll be chatting again soon. You've been listening to Craig Peterson and all of this can be found at http://CraigPeterson.com.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr35Ac4mYmk&feature=context-cha In this episode of China Money Podcast, guest Amir Gal-Or, founder and managing partner of the Infinity Group, discusses investing in deals that transfer foreign technologies to China, partnering with local governments to run RMB funds and how to instill professional management to state-owned enterprises. Listen to the full interview in the audio podcast, watch the shortened video version or read an excerpt. Q: You just had an exit last month, selling your portfolio company Mate IP and I-China Security’s marketing and distribution rights to Anxin-China for US$30 million. You took a controlling position in Mate in 2007. What did you do during the holding period of the company? A: Between 2007 and 2011, we localized the product in China. We established a local Chinese company to localize not only the software and language, but also the sales channels. We built a track record of the company (with initial sales). On the Israel side, we try to focus on reducing the price and making sure the product will suit the Chinese market. In China, it’s easier to sell the hardware than the software. We always try to put products into boxes as much as possible. Also, when you sell in China, it is more relationship-based. We developed a whole sales process that focuses on a few customers but with very deep relations. Q: China doesn’t have a great track record of IP protection. What challenges did that present to you and how did you handle them? A: Sure, but the trend going forward will be different than the past. It’s quite clear that it will be the right direction. If China wants to be the leader of the world, it must include technology leadership and protection of IP. It’s not going to happen overnight. But we believe in the long run and we are a long-term player. Q: Have you encountered local competitors copying your technologies? A: Of course, across the board. The question is what did they really copy. When we were copied, it wasn’t necessarily bad for us, because it’s not copied by people who are capable and who fully understand what they are copying. Yes, their prices are much lower, but the reality is that they can’t support the product and cannot go to the next step. Customers who are really price sensitive will never buy the real product. So you can say that local competitors are taking away market share from you, but I would say in many cases they are accessing a market share that’s not accessible by the brand. In Mate IP, there was also a copy by local competitors. Their price is about half of our price. Even though the customers didn’t want to buy the copy, they want something more solid and stronger backing, but they would still negotiate and renegotiate the price. So the damages are mostly on the margin. I’m not sure if we really lost a lot of customers. Q: This deal is the 10th such exit you’ve done in China, selling a company with intellectual property from overseas to a Chinese company. What experience can you share about selling to a Chinese company? A: We did our first exit in 2005. It’s very complex to do a trade sale with IP related technology companies because the assets are intangible. The basic assumption in China is that most of the employees won’t stay with you for the long run in an M&A situations. So what assets are you really buying in a country that is relationship based. Second is what happens to the customers. How do you build loyalty of customers to the company before the deal? And lastly, how to build a deal. In the Western world, it’s mostly based on the facts. In China, facts can change quickly. It’s a different DNA. It’s mostly soft skills. Q: Two years ago, Infinity and an investor group invested 120 million RMB (US$ 18 million) in Harbin No. 1 Tools Manufacturing Company, a state-owned Chinese precise and complex cutting tools manufacturer. What have you achieved with this company.

This show will be divided into two segments. The first 1/2 hour will feature social media expert Susan Preston and we will be discussing how to use social media to grow your business without violating the protocol on platforms such as Twitter. Susan explains that it's all about being your authentic self, and being transparent in your objectives. If you are not getting the results you expected or want from social media, you definitely want to tune into this episode. The second hour will feature David Preston, "The Legendary Consultant," and we'll be discussing providing search engine optimization services to local offline businesses. Many offline businesses have website that are little more than billboards in cyberspace... on an untravelled highways. Other businesses don't even have websites but should since this is one of the most cost-effective ways to generate leads, and traffic/business to their brick-and-mortar storefronts and offices. While you may be an expert on search engine optimization you don't need to be to provide this service. In fact, you should not get trapped selling your services, and trading time for dollars. Instead, you should leverage your time by lining up the SEO work, but then outsourcing it to properly trained individual who will do the work for a mere fraction of what you charge, and you pocket the difference. On this show, we'll tell you exactly how to do that, pointing out resources that both David and I, as well as many of our associates, use. We'll also share with you how you can set up lucrative monthly maintenance contracts with many businesses. These maintenance contracts are the real secret. They provide you with a regular monthly income that you can count on month-after-month, and your customer stay with you for a very long time because you deliver results!
