Retro Asylum -  The UK’s No.1 Retro Gaming Podcast

In this, the very first show of 2021, Dean, Chris and Mads talk about their experiences playing December's game club game Exile on the BBC Micro. Thanks to all of our Patreon’s who made this episode possible. William E Rimmer Ninjixel TJ Andy Hudson Ricardo Engel Adrian Nelson Alastair Barr Straight2Video RoseTintedSpectrum Matthew W James Bentley Wiedo Belochkin Tony Parkinson Gaz H Mal Woods Zach Glanz Richard Rogers Cane and Rinse LamptonWorm Salvio Calabrese Mitsoyama Rhys Wynne Clint Humphrey MARK BYLUND Paul Ashton Chris Rowe Jon Sheppard Laurent Giroud Martin Stephenson Aaron Maupin Jim-OrbitsIT Jon Veal Thomas scoffham Andy Marsh Patrick Fürst Laurens Andrew Gilmour Stephen Stuttard Matt Sullivan Magnus Esbjörner Darren Coles Garry Heather Edward Fitzpatrick Nick Lees Blake Brett   Q and A with Peter Irvin. Q: Where did the concept of the game come from? Was it influenced by earlier videogames? A: The concept for Exile started as just the idea of a man with a jetpack exploring an underground cavern system, having to solve problems to progress, fighting off hostiles. It wasn’t influenced by other games, more from TV/film - like Star Trek, Blakes 7, Forbidden Planet. Q: Was the game built around the plot or did the mechanics of the game come first? A: The mechanics came first and we kept adding stuff to the game engine until we knew what the limits were and how far we could go with the resources available. The plot crystallised over time, after we worked out what could be achieved, then we had to populate the map to match and make a playable game. Major way points were decided, like the Rune Door and Triax’s lab, and the scattering of other puzzles, equipment and encounters designed to get the player equipped to pass through these way points. However we sometimes had “we could add this cool thing” moments and had to include that - like the digital speech on the large RAM BBC micro version. Q: Nowadays, there is infinite memory to craft a story and provide lots of context for the game. That was not possible for you. How early did you develop the idea of a novella? A: To include a novella was decided quite late in the day. Yes, it was a way to help explain the game back story better but it was also a way to add perceived value to the game, and reduce piracy - the thinking being that people would pay more and pirates would think they were missing out on important stuff if they did’t have the full package, though I’m not convinced by that. Q: How much of what you and Jeremy learned from Thrust did you carry forward into Exile? A: With Thrust, Jeremy showed that implementing physics well - gravity, thrusting, multi-body mechanics - was actually rewarding for the player; it was pleasing just to fly around. We were both interested in physics so that had to be a big part of Exile, and a lot of time was spent getting the physics engine right - all the acceleration rates, gravity, impacts, wind forces, floating, etc work in balance and to feel ok but coded with very little memory. Q: Were there any interesting alien life forms that you prototyped but had to cut? A: There were a few but the details are lost to me by the passing of time. Most memorable now was a dog - which was to be the player’s faithful companion, helping out as best he could. He was included from the beginning as it came over from an unfinished game I was doing before Exile called “Wizard’s Walk” - a wizard travelling down a long pretty cave populated by hazards. The dog used too much RAM for its graphics in Exile - it needed extra frames due to walking up diagonals. It also had to be indestructible, and manage to get around the map as well as the player or the game wouldn’t work, so it ended up being removed and we put in Fluffy which was small alien bundle of pixels and trivial code to control. Q: Some game reviews show screenshots that are clearly from a different game map. Were review copies sent out that were radically different or were these more likely pictures from earlier prototype builds? A: I don’t recall any wrong maps being reviewed. Perhaps on the Amiga version? The BBC Micro Exile game map was generated by a tiny algorithm to produce the straight tunnels, a scattering of caverns, some individual tiles and areas that could be hand-defined (like for the top ship, the top underground base, Triax’s lab, various doors, etc. The map code was fixed in stone at a very early stage because changing it would have meant repopulating the entire game. Q: The manual quite bluntly tells players that it’s a game which requires thought. Where you worried that people wouldn’t “get it”? A: Exile was hard to play in parts and required people to use their brains in some places to solve the natural puzzles. That wasn’t the way games were back then - most were short duration entertainment requiring little thought. We designed Exile as the sort of game we wanted to play, hoped others would accept it, but knew if they got stuck they could ask their friends or get advice from one of the games magazines. It isn’t a “levels game” where you just shoot your way through and collect stars, it was more like a movie - one big adventure. It was also more difficult than it should have been partly due to the limitations and efficiencies of the physics engine and shared general purpose code between many creatures. Many people didn’t complete Exile, or even get as far as the excitement of destroying the maggot machine, the earthquake and the flooding caverns, but I like to think they still got value for money. It’s hard to balance a game for all abilities when the resources are so tight and trying not to allow dead ends in progress were the player to have inadvertently wasted all the required resources to overcome upcoming obstacles, but in retrospect perhaps some things should have been easier. Q: The purple, vertical blast door near the start has a gap at the top which can be flown through, with enough time and patience. Did you know about it when the game shipped, but decided it wasn't a big enough game-breaker to fix? A: There were many such collision “features” - a side effect of a general purpose physics engine with limited resources to prevent special cases. Anyway, quantum tunnelling happens in physics, so surely that’s fine! Q: Are there any (other) bugs in the game which you look back on now and think “ah, if only we could patch it!”? A: There were many of what I call “features” rather than bugs in Exile and I think we knew about most of the ways things could go wrong but had no spare RAM to fix. My favourite one was, with your back to a vertical door, holding something, suddenly turning around while thrusting forward and do a throw - the thrown object can usually be made to appear on the other side of the door to you. Sometimes you could use a similar system to get yourself through! There were so many things to balance - like the relationship between the speed of a firer, the speed and dimensions of bullets and the thickness of doors, otherwise they could tunnel through the door or bullets hit the firer. Q: Did it bother you that the published solutions made use of physics/engine glitches to get the coronium rocks out of the eastern area, instead of the 'correct' solution which involves creating additional coronium by luring slimes through a piece of solid rock, converting them to yellow balls, then passing them through the underwater structure containing red blobs to the west of the windy shaft? A: No, I’m not really bothered about players making use of things they found. Exile is about exploration and experiment, so finding shortcuts, even if relying on “features” is still in that spirit. We wanted several ways to do many of the puzzles anyway, and the eastern tunnels were meant to be a natural area uncorrupted yet by Triax, where the player could experiment to discover the tools they would need in the western caves. This probably didn’t come across to the player. Also some of the puzzles were a bit contrived I suppose - nevertheless rewarding if you solved them. Q: Which version of the game do you consider definitive? A: The BBC micro version was the most definitive. It was the first and a genuine struggle to make happen at all, and I believe took that platform to its limits. I hated the Electron version - there was no way to avoid having a border of white noise (ie code) around the game view - buyers must have been so forgiving. Q: We are aware of the tragic circumstances around Jeremy’s death. Was a sequel planned before he died? A: From fading memory, I think we were still working on bits and pieces with the original game - like an Amiga CD 32 console game, and we had tried to get publishers interested in a Sega Mega Drive version but the console market was very controlled, with publishers taking few risks on unconventional product due to the costs of making the expensive ROM cartridges. You almost had to have a working game already on the platform to be considered seriously and with development systems hard to come we didn’t have the funds to make that happen ourselves. There were some explorations into making use of the code for a new game but nothing solid. Q: You had a version of the game planned for iOS and Android back in 2010. Are we correct to assume that that project has been discontinued? A: No, it is my intention that this should still happen. It’s difficult to know how non-retro it would need to be to have any measure of success against todays effects-driven offerings, though computer gaming is a broad church. Q: If the mobile project had gone ahead, would there have been any fundamental changes to the game? A: The first release would be very familiar, but enhanced in details, the plot cleaned up - more obvious - and easier to play. The control system on a touch screen can’t depend on the zillion keys that Exile required either! I don’t think it should stray too far from the original fundamentally as the audience would include fans of the originals; but sequels could go much further.

THIS IS Q & A DICTATION DONE IN TWO PARTS. PART ONE READ SLOWLY FOR ACCURACY AND PART 2 IS READ SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN THE FIRST FOR SOME SPEEDBUILDING. PLEASE READ YOUR NOTES! THANKS FOR SUPPORTING AND DON'T FORGET TO HELP ME HELP YOU BY SUBSCRIBING . PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT PROVIDED BELOW. FROM THE BOOK OF LEGAL DICATION Q: [BY THE CHAIRMAIN] Your residence? A: 625 Ferry St, Boston Q: What is your age? A: Forty-one Q: You were the builder of this bridge? A: A portion of it Q: Please describe as fully as you can, your whole connection to it, in your own words. A: It is so long ago that I don't know whether I can remember all that you would like to hear, but the contract required me to build a truss to be placed upon the east side of the bridge, and I was to furnish the floor system. That was done in the spring or early summer of 1876. Q: Go on and describe more in detail what you did. Were you in business for yourself or were you representing a company? A: I was in business for myself. Q: Go on and tell us about the bridge; where the work was done, how the work was done, the character of the bridge, the nature of its construction. etc. Perhaps you had better begin, and state , in the first place, your experience as a builder. A: My first experience in building iron bridges was with the Detroit Bridge & Iron Works, Detroit Michigan. Q: [BY MR. O'BRIEN] What year? A: I think it was 1863; and my experience has been from then until--I am not sure this bridge wasn't the last I built. Since then I have acted occasionally as a consulting engineer. Q: [BY THE CHAIRMAIN] Do you have a scientific education? A: Yes, sir, at the Lawrence Scientific School, at Cambridge. Q: Full course? A: No, sir. Partial. Q: What was your course then? A: I was there one year only. Q: What year was that? A: I'm not sure but I think it was 1862-63. From there I went to St. Louis. Q: How long were you with St. Louis Bridge & Iron Company? A: Well, I don't recollect; but several years. Q: What were you doing there? A: I designed their bridges, proportioned them, and I made some portions of the drawings. Q: Did you do that all the time you were there? A: Yes, sir. Q: Do you remember any bridges you designed at that time? A: Well, there was one drawbridge across the Mississippi River, where the C.B. & Q railroad crosses, --Clinton on one side and Fulton on the other. Q: How long did that stand? A: It is standing now, I suppose. That was at that time the longest drawbridge, I think, in the world. Some have been built longer since. There were a great many on the Illinois Central and the C.B. & Q and other words through the Western states. Q: Did you build any bridges in Massachusetts when you were with the St. Louis Bridge & Iron Works? A: No, sir. Q: Then you left the St. Louis Bridge & Iron Works at what time? A: I don't recollect the date. Q: You were there about three years, you say? A: I said several; but I don't recollect how many years it was; I could not tell even approximately. Q: What did you do after you left there?

Nita described herself as a 49-year-old overweight woman suffering from crippling depression and bipolar disorder, when she caught the running bug. Her first run lasted 60 seconds, but she kept running just a bit longer each time. Since then, Nita has completed three full marathons, 28 half marathons and almost 100 shorter races—and through it has discovered an inner strength she didn’t know she had. With refreshing honesty, Nita shares her journey from debilitating fear to self-mastery. We will discuss the parallels between running and meditation, the importance of doing that which is scary, and the necessity of not only having a vision, but trusting and believing in it. The following provides a taste of Nita’s thoughts about running, writing and life: Q: Did finally running a full marathon change your life?
 Nita: The peak experience of running the marathon was not what was life-altering – what changes your life is the day-to-day stuff leading up to those events – showing up over and over. Q: What are the parallels between your writing process and managing chronic depression? 
Nita: The foundation of my writing process is just starting again and again and again. And as someone with chronic depression, that's essential, because if it were up to me, I would just stay in bed, quite frankly. Q: What's your advice to writers wishing to publish their work and receiving rejection, after rejection, after rejection?
 Nita: Have somebody you can cry with, be angry with, yell with, throw things with. You know, go for a run and then just go back and send it out again. Q: By what process did you eventually begin to let in the fact that you are good, you are a runner, you are a writer, you are a winner? 
Nita: I still have the doubts that plague many of us. If I don't run for two or three days, my brain will say, "Well Nita, that was fun. But it's over now. Like, I'm never going to run again. So I say, "Thank you. I appreciate that you're trying to protect me. Now I'm going to go put on my running shoes and just go run a couple of miles. So hang tight, and let's see what happens." When asked if there’s one last thing she’d like our listeners to hear, Nita says, “If you want to do something, especially if it's something that seems so big or maybe terrifying, pick a tiny, tiny goal, a goal so small that you can't fail and start there.” Nita Sweeney is the author of Depression Hates a Moving Target: How Running with My Dog Brought Me Back from The Brink, an inspirational story of persistence and courage. About Nita Sweeney Nita was forty-nine, chronically depressed and unable to jog for more than 60 seconds when she discovered running. Through the sport, Nita gained an inner strength she didn’t know she possessed, and with the help of her canine companion, found herself on the way to completing her first marathon. In her first memoir, Depression Hates a Moving Target: How Running with My Dog Brought Me Back from the Brink, Sweeney shares how she faced emotional and physical challenges to overcome her fears and come back from the brink. Nita lives in Columbus, the heart of Ohio, where she writes, coaches writers, teaches meditation and publishes Write Now Columbus and the blog, Bum Glue.

It was a dewy January morning, just two days before the Bay Area would host its first Super Bowl, right in Mountain View's backyard at Stanford Stadium.When a man picking through the trash comes across a body while hoping to find some cans to earn a few extra bucks, the police are called. The story starts like this: A young woman, strangled to death, seemingly without any identity whatsoever. Her case baffles detectives.As they slowly learn about who the woman was, and where she came from -- her story spanning continents and major global moments that led to massive aid movements -- another pressing question begins to enter their minds: who would want to harm her? Who would discard her behind a grocery store, in a sleepy Silicon Valley town, and more importantly, why?Could a murder really happen in the home of high tech?This is the first episode of our special edition podcast series, Silicon Valley Beat: Major Crimes._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________For those in need of audio assistance, or who are hard of hearing, we have included a transcript of this podcast for you here.

It was early still, just before 7:30 a.m. on what witnesses, and police reports, described as a dewy January morning. He may get lucky. As he leaned over to pluck through the trash, the man startled. Amongst the cardboard boxes and the discarded fruits and vegetables, a leg poked out from one of the dumpster bins, dark in color. The man wasn't sure if it was a mannequin, or worse, a body. He ducked back to the rear of the store, and alerted a manager. Something wasn't right. [[steps on gravel]] The manager, and a few employees, walked back outside to the open dumpster, lids thrown back well before the man looking for cans arrived. Dew dusted the discarded waste, and as soon as the manager leaned over to inspect what was within, he turned around and went inside to call the police. [[Siren blaring]] A two-man fire crew were first on scene. Leaning into the bin, one firefighter reached out for a pulse, putting his two fingers to a wrist. The wrist was cold -- too cold. He stepped back and waited for the police to arrive. It was January 18, 1985. [[”Careless Whisper” by Wham! begins to play, newscasts of time overlap as reports are read]] Katie Nelson: That January was known as a “one of the most intense arctic outbreaks,” according to the National Weather Service. Wayne Gretsky scored his 400th career goal that month. VH1 debuted, and Madonna owned the radio waves with her “Like a Virgin.” Two days later, the first Super Bowl hosted in the Bay Area, at Stanford Stadium, would be televised across the US on three major networks. More locally, Silicon Valley was in its “Golden Age,” where tech was booming and we began to see the first iterations of the lore that this section of the Bay Area holds for modern day entrepreneurs. The CD-ROM had recently been introduced by Sony and Philips, revolutionizing the way in which we would come to share information and entertainment in the coming years. Apple had introduced the Macintosh just one year before in January 1984. And, the first “Windows” operating system was released by Microsoft. Mountain View, though, smack in the middle of all this growth, was still very much a suburb. Homes were ranch-style, and the local dump had closed not two years before to help restore the beloved shoreline and wetlands. Could a murder really happen in the home of high tech? This is Doug Johnson, longtime resident and historian of the Mountain View Police Department.Doug Johnson: I wondered what brought somebody to Mountain View back in 1985 because there wasn't really a lot of reasons to come to this town. Shoreline was still landfill. The downtown was -- it hadn't changed much since the 40s. Castro Street was two lanes in each direction and was basically empty. You could stand on the railroad tracks and you could look down at El Camino and see cars going by because there wasn't really much going on, going on downtown. And, um, there was no club scene or anything like that. The only reason, the only regional draw if you will in Mountain View at the time, was probably St. James' Infirmary. And it was kind of fun saloon with a ten-foot statue of Wonder Woman as you walked in the door and peanut shells all over the floor. Katie Nelson: In 1985, Mountain View certainly wasn't the town that we know it today, with a bustling downtown and multi-billion dollar corporations. But again, could a city, now home to tech giants, and once thought of as a quaint corner of Silicon Valley, really be the place where someone could be murdered? Saul Jaeger: On that cold, winter morning, that's exactly what Officers Schlarb and Barcelona were trying to find out when they made their way over to the Stierlin Road Safeway. As the men peered inside the dumpster, they saw a woman, lying face down, wearing a striped, long-sleeved shirt, a green sock still on her right foot. A gold and brown high-heeled shoe dangled from her covered foot. She was petite and thin, a little over five feet, with a cropped haircut. Her head was turned just so. Gently looking around her body, officers saw nothing obvious to indicate what had happened to this Jane Doe. But could there be a clue somewhere, among her clothes, perhaps in the bags surrounding her body, that could point the officers to the killer? Would the police find the killer in the man who was walking back and forth to his car on Vaquero Drive late the night before? Could the suspect be the person who drove by a home late at night on the same road with a loud muffler, stop near the Safeway, and drive off? Katie Nelson: A Stierlin Road resident noted his daughter had been studying late at night on January 17, hours before the body was discovered in the dumpster, and heard a car peel out in the driveway adjacent to their home. A Hackett Street resident told police he had heard from a mechanic at the Union 76 gas station, just down the road from where the body was discovered, that he had seen two men arguing with a black woman in their car. Any one of these clues could lead to something more. Door by door, police searched for answers. More than a dozen cards were left, requesting help, to call if anyone remembered anything that could possibly help. At least six of the requests went unanswered. [[Interlude]] Almost immediately, officers on scene that morning encountered a complication – the woman had no identification on her. The red, faded stamp on her left hand, typically indicative of a visit to a bar at that time, was of no use – the only local bar at the time that stamped red did not do so the night of the murder, according to the police report. The shoe that dangled from Jane Doe's foot, while manufactured in Santa Maria, could not be narrowed down to a particular purchase area as the shoes were sold across the United States. The investigative technique of simply tracking purchases via a credit card was still nearly a decade away. Saul Jaeger: The watch that was still fastened on her left wrist had no engraving, no personalization to possibly guide the detectives to a family member or loved one. The ring on her left ring finger too, did nothing to help the mystery. Jane Doe could be anyone, from anywhere. Her family, her friends would have no idea what had happened to her. But this much was certain -- something bad had happened to Jane Doe. Here's Don McKay, a retired sergeant with the Mountain View Police Department, who back in 1985 was the sergeant in charge of investigations. Don McKay: Um, they discovered this early in the morning. It was still dark when I got the call, about finding a body in the dumpster behind Safeway, just sort of scattered, like she was just dumped there. This Safeway was on the corner of Bailey and Montecito. Well, there were several police cars there. It was very isolated back there. There's some apartments that back up to that dumpster and there was nobody there so it was just sort of all us. Brought some lights and stuff and tried to work the scene. We didn't have a lot to go on.It took us a while to ID this person. We could tell she was missing a shoe, we figured maybe we'd find that. From what we remembered, she was fully clothed, but I remember thinking: “Here we are, the week of the Super Bowl, and Super Bowl's at Stanford. And I'm thinking, ‘I got a hundred thousand extra suspects' that I wasn't planning on. It looked like she had been strangled, but we weren't for sure. We didn't find that out until we got to the autopsy. Katie Nelson: By 3 p.m. on January 18, 1985, Jane Doe had been brought to the coroner with the hopes that he would have a better idea of who she may be. The coroner on duty that Friday afternoon at Valley Medical Center began his methodical examination. The first sentence of the autopsy reportnnotes just how petite the victim was. The coroner noted she weighed just 95 pounds. She measured only 4 feet, 8 inches tall. On the right side of her forehead, a small cut was noted. A front tooth, chipped. She was otherwise healthy, with the coroner noting most inspections yielded “unremarkable” results. As he went about his work, the coroner clipped fingernails and took other samples from the body, some potentially for use to determine what had led to that fateful discovery that morning behind the Safeway. But neither of those samples would ultimately point to what exactly had led to Jane Doe's death. No. On just the second page of the report, under the section noted “External Evidence of Injury,” the coroner noted the following: “On the front and ride side of the neck are multiple contusions which vary from ⅛ to ¼ inch in greatest dimension.” “The strap muscles of the neck as well as the other pretracheal soft tissues exhibit a moderate degree of contusion with hemmorhage. The tongue … shows multiple hemorrhages on the anterior third as well as in the middle third.” Jane Doe had been manually strangled to death. This was not a quick death. It was slow. It was hard. Chris Kikuchi: It's a very violent crime, but to be able to squeeze you know, someone's neck in that manner and so tightly and so violently that the person dies, there's a tremendous amount of force. Katie Nelson: We'd like to introduce you to veteran police detective Chris Kikuchi. He served as the primary investigator on this case later on. Chris Kikuchi: At any point, you can realize that person is losing air obviously and that person is struggling and to continue doing that, until the person dies, I can't even imagine. Even at 100 pounds, you wrap your hands around anyone's neck, they're going to struggle. They're going to do whatever they can to get out of that. It's not easy. Katie Nelson: That knowledge alone makes this investigation all that much more devastating. It also makes us wonder – was this murder personal? Was this a crime of passion? Or was this an instance where total rage took control and ultimately cost one young woman her life? Was this a targeted incident or, God forbid, was this random, and the start of something far more sinister? Here again is Detective Sergeant Don McKay.Don McKay: The most frustrating part was just ID'ing her, finding out who she was, where she came from, where she lived, so we had a base to start with. We had no place to start the investigation. Normally, when you know the person, you know where they live, you know where they hang out, you know her associates. We had no idea on anything for three weeks. All we could do was collect the evidence, freeze what we could collect. We didn't have a DNA database at the time. Nothing. Katie Nelson: But even though less than 24 hours had passed since Jane Doe's body was found, the cause of death was still only half of the puzzle solved. It would take two more weeks before Jane Doe had a name. [[Interlude]] Saul Jaeger: She was Saba Girmai. She had just turned 21. Born in Mekele, Ethiopia in 1964, Saba had immigrated with her family to the United States when she was 17. [[Clip from British broadcast on the famine in Ethiopia]] Saba's family was part of a growing number of Ethiopians who had come to the United States to seek refuge, many of whom were able to utilize new changes enacted through the passage of the 1980 Refugee Act, which was created to help fine-tune immigration procedure for refugees, particularly of humanitarian concern, seeking admission to the United States. Ethiopia, during the time that Saba's family came to America, was in the throes of upheaval. Before they arrived on US soil, Saba's family had lived through the overthrow of the government by the Ethiopian army. In 1974, when Saba had just begun her teen years, an interim military government had been put in place to create some kind of control at a government level. But, their efforts were swiftly replaced by a Marxist regime. Katie Nelson: By 1981, a civil war had erupted, and a crippling drought plagued the country. That drought would be the catalyst for what many remember as the famine that sparked the first Live Aid concert in 1985.[[1985 commercial for Live Aid]]The 16-hour musical marathon that catapulted Queen back into the spotlight, the one that was projected to raise about 10 million pounds for famine relief, but in fact raised triple that amount. The funds would be put towards helping the roughly 160 million people impacted by famine across northeastern Africa. In Ethiopia, reports were surfacing that aid groups that came to the country to help couldn't access certain villages and towns, exacerbating the crisis. Mekele, Saba's home, was hit especially hard. Saba's family arrived in the United States just two years before the peak of the conflicts that would plague Ethiopia until the early 1990s. Mekele, during the height of the famine in the mid 1980s, unfortunately became known for its hunger camps that surrounded the city, which housed nearly 100,000 refugees. Estimates today suggest that in 1985, nearly 100 people died in these camps every day, waiting for some kind of reprieve. Saul Jaeger: As her family began to settle down roots in America, Saba was enrolled at Monroe High School in Rochester, New York, a large, brown-bricked building with Greek columns in the picturesque upstate area that had opened its doors to students nearly 60 years before Saba stepped onto campus. But her time there was short. Saba was not involved in any clubs or sports, according to her family, nor did she actually finish high school. She dabbled in cosmetology school for a while after dropping out of high school, but that didn't hold her interest for long. By the time Saba traveled to California with her sister in 1984, she was ready for something different. She had been in California only seven months when she was killed. Once in California, Saba was known to flit from home to home, between cities like Palo Alto, Santa Clara, and San Jose, couch-surfing with friends or acquaintances, enjoying the local club scene. She had an alleged boyfriend, but she had never been married. Katie Nelson: Where Mountain View fell on her radar was a bit of a mystery. She was not known to neighbors who lived near where her body was found. Saba was known to go out, sometimes to the chagrin of those who knew her. She drank and smoked marijuana, practices that today are not noteworthy, but back in the mid-1980s still carried somewhat of a social taboo. Saba was also not known to stay in one place for long. She was social, described by at least one person as “feisty” and an “Ethiopian princess.” Most notably, though, despite her ease with being out and about, no one had admittedly seen her the day before her death. Saba had essentially vanished. But now, word of Saba's death had begun to spread, particularly within the Ethiopian community. Recently, we found a copy of the 1985 report of Saba's death in the police blotter section of a local paper. Wedged at the bottom of the page, between a Super Bowl robbery crime spree and a rape arrest, the local paper highlighted in just eight short sentences the totality of the crime. Headline: Murder victim apparently strangeled. A young woman whose body was discovered last week in a Mountain View dumpster apparently died from strangulation, a spokesman from the Santa Clara County Coroner's Office said Monday. “It was a homicide,” said the spokesman, who declined to be identified. There were some other minor injuries to the body, but nothing of any significance, he said. The results of the autopsy performed late Friday were to be turned over to Mountain View police this week. Police lieutenant Brown Taylor said the woman has yet to be identified. The partially-clad body of the woman, whom police believe was in her late teens or early 20s, was discovered shortly before 8 a.m. Friday by employees of Safeway, 570 Stierlin Road. “Apparently she had been killed and left in the dumpster sometime Thursday night,” Taylor said. Police said the woman was black, weighed about 95 pounds, and was about 5 feet tall. And with the news spreading, friends and acquaintances began to come forward. A friend, we'll call “Taka,” said Saba had been in San Jose on January 12, when she broke a window of an apartment that belonged to a man she had been staying with at the time. It was the longest period of time detectives knew of Saba's whereabouts. According to the man at the home, she had been staying with him practically since she had arrived in California the previous June. She'd celebrated her 21st birthday three days before the window episode. Saul Jaeger: Finally, someone who could maybe give a little more insight into who Saba was, where she may have been, and what may have happened to her. Leads like this are important, not just because they offer some semblance of direction with a case, but because when investigations slow, they bring about some hope and some much-needed feeling of movement. We knew little about Saba at the time. And, for those in her community who knew of her, or for those who actually knew her, even they could not pinpoint exact dates or times that they had last seen her within a few days of her death. So, this was something, right? But as was becoming a growing trend with this case, with each hope for a new lead, things quickly fizzled. On January 12, when the police were called to address the broken window at the man's apartment, we know that they did ultimately escort Saba away. But, from what the boyfriend knew, she was out and about by the next morning. The last time he, and probably anyone else, had heard from her was on January 14, when she called him to let him know she was in Palo Alto. Specifically where, though, he could not say. Katie Nelson: Interviews and gathering witnesses for Saba's whereabouts could be described as tricky at best. Saba had also been seen maybe in a pickup truck with a white man at some point, but exactly when, the interviewee could not be sure. He was quoted as saying, “The last time he saw Saba she was with an unknown black male; he thinks it was either on January 11 or 12.” Another said: “He knew of Saba, but had only heard her name since she had been killed.”A third person said: “She stayed at the house about one month ago, but he had not seen her since.” One interviewee surmised that it was possible Saba was killed because while she was social, was willing to drink and smoke, she refused to sleep with men. Another interviewee said Saba had been seen with a woman three weeks before, begging for money, but that person didn't know the woman's name. Nearly one month after Saba was killed, on February 8, an Ethiopian man came into the police department and told investigators that he had seen Saba maybe on the 14th or 15thof January, three days before she died, in a van with an unknown white man heading northbound on Third Street in San Jose. The reason this was so important, he said, was because he remembered something he did not tell detectives at the time he was initially interviewed – Saba was wearing some type of hat. This pattern of rough guesstimates on when people had seen Saba continued throughout much of the initial investigation, bleeding well into the second month after Saba was killed. By the end of March, 1985, nearly all potential connections to Saba had been interviewed, and there had been hardly any headway in the case. Saul Jaeger: Again, retired Detective Sergeant Don McKay.Don McKay: Well, we started going through the apartments behind the thing to see if someone heard the car because we didn't know what she was dropped off in, in a car or whatever. And, we got a couple of people who thought they heard something back there around four in the morning, but nothing that could put anything to it. What it affected was trying to locate where we thought she was probably picked up at a party in Palo Alto somewhere, where there were a lot of Super Bowl parties going on and stuff. We had no idea where she came from, but we didn't realize she was of Ethiopian descent until we talked to her sister. That's the first time we even had an idea of where she was from, what she was doing, where she lived. And her sister didn't know where she lived for the last three weeks prior to the murder. And we had no idea where she had been. We went into numerous locations, places we had to try to find out where all the parties were, and nobody knew. No witnesses at all. We never did come up with a witness. We did a lot of footwork. [[interlude]] Saul Jaeger: That ever-lingering question still loomed large -- With the vast network of people who seemingly knew Saba, or knew of her, who would have had a motive to kill her? And even more so, who would have discarded her body in that dumpster at that Safeway? By April 2, detectives decided to use their trump card – they brought in Saba's alledged boyfriend for a polygraph examination. He was seemingly the last person known to have talked to Saba. Some had identified him as her boyfriend. He disputed that though. There was no question however, that he was close to her. So he must know something, right? Was it possible a fight had gone awry? Was he possibly mad at Saba because of her drinking, and smoking, and moving from place to place? Had Saba done something that caused him to snap?The following is an excerpt from the polygraph examination. Type of Case: MurderRequesting Agency: Mountain View Police DepartmentDate: April 2, 1985 Q: Do you know for sure who caused Saba's death?A: No. Q: Did you strangle Saba during January 1985?A: No. Q: Were you physically present in the vehicle that took Saba to the dumpster where she was found?A: No. Q: Did you last see Saba on 13 January when you left her in front of that shop in San Jose?A: Yes. Q: Did you see Saba between 14 and 18 January 1985?A: No. Q: Did Saba call you on 14 January and tell you she was in Palo Alto?A: Yes. On April 11, 1985 the results of the polygraph exam were returned to detectives. They read: After analysis of the charts produced during this examination, it is the opinion of this examiner that the boyfriend was deceptive in his answers to the relevant questions. Results: Deception indicated[[End Episode 1]] Thank you for listening to this episode of The Silicon Valley Beat: Major Crimes.

Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song and Praise

Grace to you and peace from God and Jesus, our advocate, Lord, and Savior. Amen. Please pray with me. Lord, we are called to be advocates for all your children especially those who are vulnerable in society. Open our minds and hearts so that your word may be made clearer to us. Help us to hear the message of love, peace, and unity, so that we may be strong advocates for your kin-dom of wholeness on Earth. Amen.   Imagine for a moment that you are at your daily job. Just sitting or standing doing your daily work - teaching, working on a computer, driving around, whatever it is you do on a daily basis. Then, out of the blue comes this strange man, maybe a little rough looking, someone you haven’t seen before. He stops you in what you are doing and tells you to follow him and he’ll give you a new job of working to make people’s lives better. He wants you to drop everything, your job, your family, your friends, your whole life and just follow him to do something strange and new. Do you? Do you suddenly upset your whole life simply because a stranger asks you to? If you are anything like me, I’m sure you are thinking - “No way! I’d never do that!”   This is apparently what happens in the second part of today’s Gospel reading. A story that is well known to most people. Where Jesus starts calling his disciples to follow him to be fishers of people. The story clearly states “immediately they left their nets and followed him” (Matthew 4:20) and “Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.” (Matthew 4:22).   For many people and many interpretations, this is clear cut for people. If we truly want to be followers of Christ we must give up our lives and completely devote them to following Christ and God. Even if it means leaving everything we know and love and changing our lives completely. I don’t know about you, but this seems quite hard for me to believe, that we would be expected to uproot our lives like that for the sake of the Gospel. I mean, why would God give us our lives we already have if we are just supposed to push them aside and leave everything to devote ourselves solely for God? I’ll get back to this later.   Now, let’s take a look at why Jesus was calling them in the first place. In verse 23 of the reading, we hear that “Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people.” At a quick glance, it sounds like he did three things: taught, proclaimed, and cured people. But are they really three separate things? Or are they really just one? Could it be that they are all forms of advocacy?   The Oxford dictionary defines an advocate as “a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy”. Well Jesus certainly did things publicly and encouraged others to do so as well. His particular cause or policy? Simply that the good news of God’s love, is for all. All of Jesus’s actions were around this. He wanted to bring the wholeness, the completeness, that only is fully realized when we know that God’s love is here and now and for all people, that everyone gets to experience a full and complete life. Without people being able to have a full and complete life, then God’s kin-dom isn’t fully realized.   In the Old Testament there is the focus on God’s chosen people and a lot of laws that were set down for these people. At the time, these laws made perfect sense to ensure that people could lead full and complete lives. Over time these laws became so ingrained in the faith that people believed that the only way to be saved and be right in God’s eyes was to follow these laws (created for a certain time and place) to the exact letter. One might even say they worshiped the laws more than God, since in their eyes one could only get to God through the laws. Often times these laws were even changed or given more detailed rules and rituals that had to be followed to be considered meeting the letter of the law. This left people not being able to “access” God anymore because this access was being controlled by the church and all their laws and rituals. Jesus came to advocate for these people to show them that there is a different way. A way that allows “access” to God for all.   How does advocacy tie into when Matthew says that Jesus taught, proclaimed, and healed? First, Jesus’s teachings. He knew that the way to reach some of the people is   to meet them where they were most comfortable. With the old testament, the history and the laws. He met them in the synagogues where they were comfortable. However, he then took their readings they were so used to hearing and challenged them to think about them in new ways. Ways that would help them see there is a new way that God is working, a way that opens up God’s love and wholeness to all by looking at the laws in a new way and understanding the reason the laws were created in the first place. Next, Jesus proclaimed the good news. He did this in his everyday life with everyday people around him. Making sure that everyone would hear his message of a new way of life with God. A way that is open to all. For example, in several cases Jesus was accused of working on the Sabbath which people viewed as being against the commandments. He healed several times on the Sabbath and also allowed his disciples to pick corn on the Sabbath. According to the strict interpretations of the laws that the religious leaders created, Jesus was sinning. From a commentary by David Pratte: “The Pharisees criticized the act, not as stealing, but as a violation of the Sabbath. This was the first of a whole series of conflicts between Jesus and the Pharisees about the Sabbath. Two things must be remembered. (1) The Pharisees, as they had done with other things (Matthew 15:1-14), had added a whole complex system of traditions about Sabbath observance. Much of this was intricate and detailed; but above all it was based on their own ideas, not on what God's law really said. (2) They were motivated in their criticisms, not by sincere concern for the Sabbath, but by a desire to trap Jesus (v10).” ( https://www.gospelway.com/topics/bible/jesus_sabbath.php )   So Jesus is working to show people that our actions must be done in a way that shows forth God’s kin-dom, not by other motivations or human made laws and customs. Jesus’s whole life was about proclaiming this Good News that our connection with God, is just that - a connection with God, not one that has to be made through laws and sacrifices and that if we don’t do something “just right” that connection is gone, but instead that connection is made by God and is permanent and unbreakable.   Now the third activity that Matthew says Jesus did - healing people. The biggest part of this isn’t that Jesus healed, but who he healed. As Matthew says in verse 23, Jesus was “curing every disease and every sickness among the people.” Nothing about “the deserving people” or “people who go to synagogue every Sabbath” or “people who have followed every law perfectly” or “people who have been deemed by society to be male” or “people who have a certain skin tone” or “people from certain countries”. Nope, none of this - he healed everyone who needed it. And most of the time these people that needed healing were the lowest of the people in society at the time. The people who were lacking food or money or status or were shunned by society once they became ill.  None of this mattered to Jesus - he healed all.   Wow - he was a busy person! And - he is asking us, as individuals and as the church body, to follow him and do all this? To be advocates for everyone in society? To publicly support this cause? To make sure that God’s love and fullness of his kin-dom are available and accessible to all? Those are some big sandals to fill.   Yes, it is a lot to do, but that is what we are called to be, to be advocates for all of society, especially those most vulnerable, those fleeing persecution, those who are shunned from society, including members of the LBGTQIA+ community, those who are hungry or poor. Anyone who does not have the means to live their lives fully and freely to experience the true wholeness and love of God. It is hard work. But yet, we are called.   Many times, people say church and politics shouldn’t be mixed, but that simply can’t be, if we are to fully live into our call to be advocates. Just like Jesus challenged the religious and governmental system of his time, we need to challenge our system. If that means teaching others so they better understand the minorities in society by holding community forums and movie screenings, do that. If it means spreading the good news of God’s love for all at Pride events, do that. If it means healing or helping people in need by providing shelter in our parish house and taking care of all their needs, do that. Writing letters to elected officials, protesting, signing petitions to amend state law so that people can’t get fired for simply being gay, do that. And, hopefully we don’t need to, but if it calls for some rage and throwing over some tables and demanding change, as Jesus did in the temple with the money changers, then maybe we do that.   No matter what form our advocacy takes, we are called and cannot sit silently in our chairs inside these walls and do nothing. We must publicly support God’s call for us to share his kin-dom of love and wholeness for all. How can we fully feel God’s love in us knowing that others are prevented from living fully into their lives? To share the Gospel, the Good News of God’s love for all, we must be strong advocates for all.   Now, back to panicking that to do all this we must drop everything, leave our jobs and families, and follow Jesus immediately and uproot our lives, as we heard in today’s Gospel. Well, here is the Good News - that isn’t what the Gospel says. Without getting into too much detail (more info at https://www.answers.com/Q/Did_disciples_know_Jesus_before_being_called), remember that in Jesus’s time, the world population was a lot smaller, and that the disciples had certainly heard about Jesus before he came up to him, in fact many were most likely related to him. So it wasn’t a complete stranger, it was someone they knew and most likely already had a personal connection to. It would be like asking your friends and family to join you in a project of yours that you find valuable, to sign a petition, to march in a parade or rally, to build a house, and more.   Also, again without getting into detail (more info at http://blog.michaelhalcomb.com/2007/07/did-disciples-know-jesus-before-he-them.html ) the disciples didn’t drop everything and never return to their lives they were living. There are stories in the bible where they still met with their families and they still had their boats, etc.   So instead of a stranger asking people to completely drop everything in their current lives and do new work, this story is about advocacy. About hearing God’s call to be an advocate for ensuring that God’s kin-dom is available for all, and then using your skills and talents God has given you, so that you can do the needed work, and then get your friends and family, and maybe a stranger or two, to do the work with you.   Wow! This is so much better - and much easier to say “Yes!” to. Yes! I can work with you to create some cards to make a senior’s life a bit better. Yes! I can work to take some actions at home to reduce my carbon footprint or release some butterflies. Yes! I can go march in the pride parade this summer. Yes! I can donate to help provide for the needs of the young people living in our parish house.   And since God’s grace, love, and forgiveness is freely given to all, we don’t have to focus on how to “win God over” and be right with God, since Jesus ensured this is already done for all of us, we can focus on doing the advocacy needed to bring God’s kin-dom to fruition.   We, as individuals and as a community of Faith, are currently doing advocacy all the time. Is there more we can do - certainly, but we need to celebrate what we have and currently do, learn from it, and then work to do even more in this broken world that for many fall way short of being whole and complete, so that God’s love, hope, and dream for all may be made fully known, so that His kin-dom can truly come to us and God’s will be done on Earth. Amen.

Geralt of Rivia (Cavill) is a solitary monster hunter who struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.Created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich for NetflixThe Witcher timeline:https://thewitcher.tv/the-witcher-deconstructed-timelineStarring:Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, The WitcherFreya Allan as CiriAnya Chalotra as YenneferEamon Farren as CahirMyAnna Buring as TissalaWilson Radjou-Pujalte as DaraAdam Levy as MousesackGaia Mandadori PavettaBart Edwards DunySummary of episode 2:https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/features/1116560-the-witcher-season-1-episode-2-recap1210 Yennefer is sold to Tessaia1210-1249 Gerald becomes “The Butcher of Blaviken”1249 Gerald evokes “The Law of Surprise”1263 Gerald and Ciri meetWitcher timelinehttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/netflix-releases-official-witcher-timeline-104825444.htmlhttps://www.sideshow.com/blog/10-creatures-from-the-bestiary-of-the-witcher/Creatures of The WitcherThe Witcher Ep. 4, “Of Banquets, Bastards, and Burials”-Cripples, bastards, and broken thingsGeralt is asked by Jaskier to attend a DInner party in the Court of the Kingdom of Cintra. It is a courting party for the hand of Princess Pavetta, Calanthe’s daughter. Geralt’s job is to protect Jaskier from the lords and nobles who wish revenge on him. Instead Queen Calanthe takes an interest in the Witcher and attempts to hire his services. This is because Calanthe knows of a beast who will crash the party and take away her beautiful daughter Pavetta. Sure enough the party is crashed by a helmeted knight who has “claim” over Pavetta according to the Law of Surprise. It turns out the knight is cursed and so he has the head of a hedgehog and so this is why Calanthe enlisted the Witcher’s help and demands the Knight be slain. Geralt refuses and instead defends the knight. This starts a brawl and ultimately it is found that the knight, named Urcheon or Duny and Pavetta are already in love with each other. So despite her reluctance, Calanthe accepts Duny and allows him to marry her daughter. This lifts the curse on Duny who turns back into a human. To repay Geralt for saving his life Duny offers him whatever reward he wishes. Geralt claims the Law of Surprise as payment and it turns out Pavetta is pregnant. The child will become Princess Cirilla and thus bind her and Geralt with Destiny.17:47Q- What do you think of the show choosing this scene to show that all 3 storylines are in different time periods and showing that this dinner party was at least 15 years before the Fall of Cintra.Q- Did you like the story of the cursed knight falling in love with the princess and being able to lift the curse, reverse Shrek style.Q- Did this scene make sense? I found myself having a hard time following a lot of the dialogue and events.Q- The Law of Surprise is introduced here and it, plus destiny, becomes one of the defining themes of the Witcher story. Did they do a good job explaining it and do you buy it as a lynchpin of the show moving forward.25:30 Elsewhere this episodeYennefer has been in the court of Aedirn for 30 years now. She is accompanying Queen Kalis when their carriage is ambushed by an assassin who wants to kill the Queen. Yenneger tries to defend the Queen for some time before leaving her for dead and taking the child, who also dies.Q- just one question. Why tho?29:03 Ciri is taken in by the Dryads of the Brookilyn forest. They discuss with her about the magic in the forest and in the water especially. The waters are supposed to rid someone of their memories and thus their fears and identity. Ciri is unaffected by it. Q- again, Why tho?Witcher Ep. 5, “Bottled Apetites” 35:45This episode sees Geralt’s path cross with Yennefer as Geralt seeks help to heal Jaskier. Geralt is found fishing for a Djinn or genie, in a river. After 3 years Jaskier just casually strolls up on him and finds that Geralt is looking for one because he cannot sleep. Geralt does indeed find a bottles Djinn and him and Jaskier unleash it. It nearly kills Jaskier who instead has his throat wounded and so Geralt takes him to the nearby town to find help. There an elf healer, Chireaden, tells him of the dangerous mage in town who could help them. Geralt goes to the mage who turns out to be Yennefer. The two of them trade verbal barbs and Yennefer takes an interest in the Djinn they unleashed. She heals Jaskier and puts a spell on Geralt to black out and assault the town council who had been threatening Yennefer since she arrived. Yennefer had healed and kept Jaskier alive because she thinks he has one more wish to be granted before she can capture the Djinn. Turns out it was Geralt with the wishes and so he goes to save Yennefer as he knows that she will not be strong enough to defeat the Djinn. With his “Last Wish” he is able to save Yennfer, and the two of them then have sex in the destroyed house of the nobleman.Q- There isn’t too much to unpack here. So what did you think of this tale broadly speaking? Did you like how this is how they had them meet? If anything its more about the time period I think.Q- Do you like, what is essentially, their love origin story?Q- at the time, what did you think was his Last Wish?Yennefer wants everything start of second recordingElsewhere on the continentCiri is found by her friend Mousesack, who is actually the Doppler, finds Ciri and convinces her to come back to see Geralt, but is instead taking her to see Cahir, who is the winged-helmet rider of Nilfgaard.43:55 Episode 6, “Rare Species”Geralt is out hunting a monster when Jaskier is saved by Borch, real name Villentretenmerth. Who asks Geralt to join his team to kill a dragon rampaging the kingdom of Caingorn in Kovir. Geralt refuses until he sees Yennefer has joined another team to hunt the dragon. Geralt immediately agrees and so they go on a quest to track down and kill the dragon. Along the way you meet a group of dwarves led by Yarpin Zigrin, a foul mouthed angry Dwarf and they team up with Geralt to beat the “reavers” to the prize. Geralt and Yennefer have the chance to reconnect after their fight with the Djinn. They seem to make up and fall in love again as they then make it to the Dragon’s lair. There they find the common green dragon dead while defending a dragon egg. They also find Borch defending the egg as its revealed he is a mythical Gold Dragon. Seeing that the dragon is already dead, Geralt, Yennefer, and Borch defend the egg from the Reavers. Later on, they are all talking and Borch reveals Geralt’s last wish was to bind him to Yennefer. Fearing their Love isn’t real Yennefer leaves Geralt and in his anger, Geralt leaves Jaskier.Q- How about this for a fantasy quest. This show is now going full fantasy where GOT really shied away from it and stayed in reality. Do you like this difference.Q- What did you think of the story? Did you ever suspect that Borch was the dragon? What about his ability to shapeshift into a human?Q- what do you think were Borch’s motivations for recruiting Geralt?Q- What about Geralt’s last wish to tie him with Yennefer forever.Q- Do you like the episodic nature of Geralt’s travels or do you want more of a narrative that can be followed throughout the season.53:00 Ciri is being taken by Mousesack, but her and her elven friend Dara become increasingly suspicious of who he is. Eventually it is found that he is a doppler and they fight before Ciri is captured and tied up. Later, it is seen that Ciri is confronted by Cahir, before it is realized that it is the doppler who took her form. They fight and, injured, the Doppler flees not to be seen again this season.1:07:00 ending remarks

107: Making Strategic Noise

I'm very excited to share with you today's episode all about how to make strategic noise. I'm gonna share with you a video ad we created recently, AND teach you a little bit more about the script that we used to make it. I know I've talked about this a little bit in a previous episode (or two) about how we wrote the script for themlmfunnel.com ad. Go to themlmfunnel.com if you wanna look at it. But I'm actually gonna put it right here in this episode! And the ONLY reason is because I want you to watch what I'm doing. I couldn’t care less if you actually go get the thing that it's promoting. What I want you to see is how I'm using things that people are already familiar with in their ads. HOW TO MAKE STRATEGIC NOISE I have been studying more P.T. Barnum… And if you do not know who he is, P.T. Barnum is famous for his circus that he created. He's The P.T. Barnum Circus. But he didn't start doing that till later on in his life… He had a museum that he would promote… And he's kind of a serial entrepreneur. One of the things that P.T. Barnum was most known for was his bizarre ways of gaining attention. And to be a marketer is to be an attention-getter. THAT’S what I'm gonna show you guys in this ad. https://youtu.be/oC1U_Q2yBXM One of the things that he did way back in the mid 1800s when he had this museum was, he went and he found this homeless guy… He walked up to the homeless guy, and he told him to: Every hour, on the hour, several times a day, carry these bricks… He was supposed to put a brick on the corner of all these streets around the museum… And walk around, every so often, throughout the day, take one brick and replace it with the one that's on another street corner… Then walk to the next corner, and replace that brick with another one… And go to the next corner, without saying anything… … That was it. Then he was supposed to go drink and take a nap. It was only 30 minutes before this bizarre act was causing attention around his museum, and thus he would get more sales. I think he paid him 15 cents an hour to do this. He did A LOT of really bizarre, random things. He was the first one to bring an ELEPHANT to America. He's the first one to do a lot of things. And what he was great at was using strategic noise. MAKING A VIDEO AD FOR STRATEGIC NOISE I believe the world is noisy already… I'm not telling you to make strategic noise for noise's sake. However, to be a marketer… Multi-level marketer Network marketer ... You are a marketer, but the industry is mis-named. It is largely mis-named, because they're like, "You can only use these kinds of noise." And it's not really strategic noise… It's like a whisper. I want you to see how I am creating noise. This will make sense when you actually watch it. I'm doing bizarre things… And you don't need an explanation. People NEED curiosity in their lives. They WANT excitement. I challenge you: To watch what I'm doing and how I'm orchestrating it. HINT: Don't stop when you see me get to the offer ;) I strongly encourage you to go and watch the YouTube version of this podcast episode because you’ll actually SEE the ad… The jump cuts How fast we did I had a professional video ad team follow me around for a day. We shot this ad and we've been going back and forth on different cut styles, when to take this out, and put this in, and what kind of words to put on the screens etc. I'm using an actual script in my head… And then I'm doing a few weird, bizarre things that make no sense for the sake of gaining attention. MLM VIDEO AD In the ad, I'm also making fun of a few things that are widely known inside of MLM. Q: Why would I do that? A: Because they're widely known inside of MLM. One of my favorite Shark Tank episodes was where they turned down funding for this guy because… They loved his product, they liked him, they thought it was amazing. BUT the only reason why none of them funded him is because of this… This is what he said. "I like it, I like you, it's amazing. The only issue is it would cost millions of dollars to educate the market, in order for them to buy this." I was like, "Oh man, that's a powerful statement right there." You don't have to be this prolific genius. The market will tell you what’s already known. If you're like, “How do I make ads for this or that?”, “How do I gain attention?”, “How do I gain more noise?” You need to join in the place where they already are, and then take them to a new spot. Watch the ad and I want you to do something for me… When you learn something cool or observe something, please pause it and take notes. One of the ways I learned how to write scripts in my early days was to watched A LOT of videos. I would press play and then press pause and write it down. Q: Did that take few hours? A: Yeah, it did. Actually, sometimes it'd take a few days. But I internalized it on such a deep level. It meant I could replicate it and do the same, which is why we're doing all this. Take out a piece of paper. LEARN FROM THIS VIDEO AD What I'm good at is causing buying emotions. When you start to feel the buying emotions, pause and take note as to why you're feeling the buying emotion. This is one of the greatest educations I could give you on this podcast. Make notes when you: Start to feel the buying emotions Learn something new When you see something bizarre I'm doing this to fight false beliefs and poke fun of certain things. But there's a spot where I switch gears and start pitching. Watch that. Try and answer these questions: Why am I pitching what I am? Who am I pitching it to? Who do you think my target buyer is? … Thinking this way turns you into a marketer. You DID NOT become a marketer because you joined MLM. I needed to turn you into a marketer. Dissect this ad and go slow. Watch what I do to create scarcity and urgency. What do I do to walk them through buying? What do I do afterwards for all the knee-jerk reactions I know people are gonna have when they watch it. Watch it the whole way through… Do it a few times because it's very, very powerful. It's gonna be powerful for you seeing how us marketers actually orchestrate strategic noise. THE MLM FUNNEL VIDEO AD Is success in MLM even possible today? Well, let me ask you this…. Will this TV blow up with four pounds of explosives under it? BOOM! Whoa! I'm Steve, and MLM is stuck in the '90s! HELLO, the Internet is here! MLM is loaded with old and outdated methods, like… The three-way phone call! "Hey, you wanna make some money? I don't know how it works, but you gotta talk to this guy. Let me three-way you in." OR making a huge list of your friends and family that are uninterested and bugging them… The next question I have to answer is, “What island will I buy?!” OR have you ever attended one of those home parties that turns out to be fake? "Thanks all for coming to my party. I can't wait for you all to buy my product and fuel my future and retirement, 'cause I really haven't learned how to sell." "This party sucks!" I'm totally kidding… But serious. VIDEO AD FOR NETWORK MARKETING SECRETS The point is that us Internet marketers are playing the MLM game completely different than you've likely been taught. So to be clear, YES, I am in an MLM and I'm actively building… And YES, I'm actually using the Internet to do so. That whole thing that you can't use the Internet in your MLM… … It's how I'm using the Internet and Facebook and funnels that might surprise you. While I personally sell a lot of programs and courses about my own MLM methods, the purpose and point of this video is to show you another new fascinating book that will help walk you into modern MLM. It's called Network Marketing Secrets and it's by Russel Brunson. While old-school MLM tactics can work, it's like putting Han Solo against Superman. Come on, CGI is here. DIFFERENT WAYS TO MAKE STRATEGIC NOISE We do MLM DIFFERENTLY. Network Marketing Secrets will teach you how we're really recruiting online, automated, without talking to anybody. Q: Steve, why are you doing this? A: Well, the hope is that you go buy this book, make fat stacks of cash with it, and then you can use some of that money to buy my programs. What I'm gonna do is, I'm actually going to bribe you to buy this book through my affiliate link… Let's go check out these bonuses I got for you guys so that I can ethically bribe you to come get this.

"But Steve, if it's not broke, don't fix it, right?" "Alright, but no one's buying 100 pound TVs anymore.” Guys, MLM has changed! The internet is here. Regardless of what your friends or family say, your up or downline, corporate HQ, or your dog says… Internet is part of the MLM business. So, congrats. Throw a party because you're about to learn how big MLMers actually do this. THE MLM FUNNEL WITH STEVE LARSEN The biggest question I get is: “Steve, how are you using the internet for your personal MLM today?” To be clear, I am, but it's HOW that matters, and it's HOW that you're probably interested in. Facebook doesn't easily let you drive ads to MLM, and most MLMs won't let you say their name on the internet, which is stupid. Despite that, I am using the internet to grow my personal downline and sell products. MLM is changing, and you're probably feeling that, right? It's why I created a mini-course… To show you HOW I'm doing this all today. It's called The MLM Funnel and you can get it at themlmfunnel.com. I'm doing this because you might not know WHERE to start in all of this and, secondly, because there's a cool new book by Russell Brunson called Network Marketing Secrets that I want you to go get. He's a cool guy, so I'm talking about this book a lot lately. I'm also going to give you a little bribe so you go get the book through my link. How evil of me. When you go to themlmfunnel.com and get Russell's new book, Network Marketing Secrets, I'm going to give you my Pre-built Recruiting Funnel Template, the Hack MLM Downline Onboarding Course, which is how I auto-train my downline when they join my team. ALSO, a discount ticket to my next event called OfferMind so that you can learn to outvalue your upline and downline. If you want all this for FREE, just go to themlmfunnel.com now and get a crash course into prebuilt funnel templates that I'm using with my own downline now. Again, just go to themlmfunnel.com and buy Russell Brunson's new book there, and I'll send you all those bonuses for free.

SFR 215: My Favorite Book...

  Today, I'm gonna to tell you about my very favorite book… *Spoiler Alert* … it’s NOT one of Russell’s ;-)   There's a really important lesson that goes along with this… so make sure you don’t skip any of this… or you won’t get the payoff.   I'm psyched to tell you about this book... because it literally transformed my life.   I've only ever shared the story of why this book is so powerful and important in a few select places. At OfferMind (my own event right back in November...  you guys can get tickets now at offermind.com),  I finally recorded the strange story of how this impactful book came into my life.     … so, y'all ready?   THE TWO VOICES   The game's hard for a while, right? You're proving yourself to... life, existence, God, the universe, the market, EVERYBODY…   You’ve decide,  "I want this cool thing? Sweet!”   Then, for a while, the path tends to be:   Objection   Objection   Objection   Constraint   Constraint   Constraint   ...Right?   If you’re at that stage don’t worry about it. Start publishing about your journey… ‘cause funnily enough, those are the things that people will follow you for.   For me, it was around business try #8... that was the time when things started to get me down. It was rough, man!     I was one of the only people in the entire world,  besides Russell, that I even knew who was doing this... and he didn't know who I was.   I didn't know how to describe what I was doing to other people well. So it kinda got lonely.   Crap was kinda hitting the fan for me mentally.   I was trying to stay true my mission, but I had two voices in my head:     I know it's there. This is going to be super. I just need to keep going.     But man, am I just being stubborn? Should I get a job?     ...You know what I mean?   There was this conflict back and forth: “Is it really there... or am I just believing in a mirage?” And that's when a lot of the self-doubt started to creep in…   MARRY THE PROCESS   Although things were still tough, there was this moment where I started learning enough that I would kinda get in fights with my marketing professors...   And for whatever reason, at that moment, things started turning for me.   When you declare what you want and start walking towards it, things begin to conspire for you.   It doesn’t mean that there won’t be opposition... but most people aren't even willing to declare what they want publicly, in a big enough for things to conspire in the first place.   Declare your intent and stuff will begin to happen for you, and for your sake... I believe it's God. That moment had NOT quite happened yet for me, but it was close.   89 CENT BEAN BURRITOS...   I was sucking it up on several different business attempts, and life was really challenging.   I was:   Broke   In the Army   Studying in College   Married   A father   It was a lot...   My wife and I, would go to like a Taco Bell, or somewhere like that for our date nights because 89 cent bean burritos were all we could afford. It was fun…     But it was extremely humbling... and a constant reminder of what I wasn't.   Papa Larsen realness coming out here...   As I started trying my next business, I was excited. I told Princess Babe (my gorgeous wife) about it... and she wanted to believe in me.   But it was challenging…   And when she asked, "Is this the one?"   On the outside, I was, "Yeah, babe. I'm your man. I will provide." But I wasn't providing at all. We were living off loans, and it was really tough.   Then one day, EVERYTHING changed...   THE MAN   It was a grey rainy day, and I’d just finished the most boring class on earth, #Quantitative Economics... Man, it sucked!     As I walked to my next class my head was full of doubts and questions:   Crap, is this the one?       I wanna feel like a man.       I wanna provide.       I wanna be her man.       Am I good enough for this?       Maybe I’m NOT good enough.?       Maybe I should go get a job?       But $8 an hour won’t pay the bills.       Should we keep living on loans?     All these doubts and questions were running through my head… the noise was intense.   Have you ever have felt the noise? It was like, "Shut up… I can do it… but am I psycho?"...       Is this the one?     I don't know if this is going to work? “I don't either.”   Let's put money on it. "Are you serious?"   Let's go get money for ads! “What? We can barely eat…” A lot of my passion comes from this situation because I know a lot of guys are still there... and I want to get you through it.   All these voices were competing in my head as I walked. Suddenly, I see an old gentleman (who I'd never seen before) sitting on a park bench. It had just stopped raining... and (super-cheesy straight out of a frickin movie), the clouds part...   He was sitting on the bench reading a book, and the dude was just wearing wealth. Just so filthy freakin’ rich. You could just tell.   I'm still some way off when a limo pulls up in front of him.   This dude with an unnaturally straight posture gets out of the car, walks around the front, opens the car door, and does a little half-bow…   I was starting to get a little bit closer now…   The older gentleman stands up, and they exchange looks. You could tell they knew each other. Maybe he's been his driver for a while... I don't know, but I know there’s a history.   They exchange a few words, then the older gentleman starts to get into the limo…   By this time I'm getting pretty close..,   And as the driver starts to close the limo door, something in me, out of sheer desperation, made me run…   I ran ‘cos I wanted it.   I ran full speed and slammed my hand in the door right before it closed... which hurt...I wanted him to know I was there.   I was like, "Hey, what's up? I know you don't know me". Then I asked, "How did you get this? I'm sure you get asked it a lot. How did you get all this?".   Once he realized that I wasn't going to hurt him, he stopped, looked me straight in the eye, and said, "Yes, a lot of people ask me that".   I said, "How do you do it? It's not that I'm not trying... I'm launching, I'm doing the stuff. What is wrong? Other people have success and I'm don’t. I'm the variable. What is wrong with me? What is it?"   He looked at me for a moment, then he reached down, and handed me a book. Then he said, "Read this".   It was the book that he’d been reading on the bench before the car pulled up.   He said, "If you will read this for 20 minutes every day... and then spend the next 40 applying it, you will not recognize your life in two years."   I was like, "That's super random... the clouds parted. Maybe that was a message?” It was so cool.   So I spent the next year; 20 minutes reading the book, 40 minutes applying. 20 minutes reading, 40 minutes applying... I spent the whole year like that.   And, in one year, just as he promised, stuff started happening in my life.   I stopped looking at the clock and I stopped judging my self-worth based on how fast that guy or this lady achieved success.   I stopped looking at the clock, and I just put my head down.   After that day, I didn’t see him again for quite some time… That was four years ago!   Four years ago, he handed me the book and drove off.   MY GIFT TO YOU   Since being in Russell's world, I have a lot more connections... my Rolodex has grown a lot, and eventually, I managed to trace the guy who so generously changed my life with that one book.   I reached out, and said, "Hey man, just so you know, that was a huge deal to me".   Since then, we’ve been in communication quite a bit now, which is really fun, and when I told him my story he said that I could give each reader of my blog a copy of his book... which is really exciting. I know right? It's awesome!   I’m a very slow reader, so I asked if I was licensed to read and record the book. He said, “Yes.”   So I have:   An Audiobook for you   A Checklist so you guys can make sure that you're implementing correctly.   Since then, he and I have gained quite a relationship and he wants to do a private event in about six months from now.   It's going to be in his house, so it’s ONLY OPEN to 20 people.   It’ll be an event with him and me where we'll actually apply EVERYTHING you learned from the book.   It's gonna be in 6 months from now; so that you’ll have time to read the book and follow the checklist. Sound good?   So you guys get the:   Book   Audiobook   Checklist   Opportunity to attend a private event for 20   Sound good?   Who's ready to buy something?     BUT FIRST, SOME QUESTIONS… (...and a confession)   What did I just do with your emotions there?     Do You want the book?     By the way…   That's all fake. I’ve read that book in my life. It’s just a random one off my shelf.   THE MORAL OF THE STORY   Q:  Why do you want the book?   A: *THE STORY*   Everything about how you sell has everything to do with the story you tell.   All of that was FAKE...   But when I told the story at OfferMind, and asked: “Who wants the book?” Even people who’d heard the story before raised their hand.   Let me ask you…   Q: Did you feel more of a connection to my wife because of that fake story?   Interesting, isn't it? The power of story is a huge deal. All of that was fake. None of that happened, but yet you probably felt a connection   Q: What about the story makes it so impactful?   A: I painted your exact situation.   Q: How did I know that?   A: Because I've been there... I know my red ocean customer. I know you. I know the stories you've been in. I know the scenarios you're in. A lot of it is because I've been there as well.   If you understand your red ocean it allows you to craft a story for your sales that connects emotionally with your ideal customer.   A purple sales message Did I talk about the chapters in the book? No! But people still wanted it.   Too many people are like, "Oh, I gotta build this last feature in my offer to make it sell”.  No! That's NOT what makes it sell.   The sales message is what sells. It has nothing to do with the product. It's all about the story selling. Story is the sales mechanism. The product just fulfills on its promise.   That's what’ll make you scratch the itch and go:   "Oh my gosh, I remember that chapter he talked about". Even though I didn't.   "Oh, this chapter is amazing. I remember the backstory. I wonder if this is what he was reading on the bench?"  Even though I didn’t mention that at all   You begin to romanticize certain elements of the product.   So when you see the product for the first time, you're like, "I know the backstory behind this feature. I know why this was such a big deal".   It is one of the most common things that I run into when I'm coaching people... "Steve, I haven't launched yet, because my product's not done"... *WRONG*   It has nothing to do with the product.   STORY SELLING   We often use product development as a logical excuse, (although it is NOT), for why we haven't launched. It's, “How I can sell something that isn't yet made?”   Take the money. It's NOT bait and switch. Your customer knows the product isn’t  made yet... and then, once the market has voted with their wallet, then you go make it.   I call this the purple sales message... the power of it is that you’re able to test a whole bunch of stories that allow you to make your product with security rather than risk…   Don’t want to spend 8 months building a product (as I did my first time) that isn’t market validated.   Russell sent me a message saying, "Dude, you've got to stop telling that story. They're not gonna believe you when you actually go sell something".   That's the point I'm trying to help you guys understand that this is how stuff is sold. It's got nothing to do with the product.   No one gives a crap about your features. It's not the reason why someone buys.   You can still obsess and over-deliver for your clients and your customers. I believe in that…   BUT do it with the understanding that this is NOT what puts money in your wallet.   What puts money in the wallet is the sales message. Products never sell themselves. The sales message and product are two separate and independent assets   Boom! If you're just starting out you're probably studying a lot. That's good. You're probably geeking out on all the strategies also, right? That's also good.   But the hardest part is figuring out what the market wants to buy and how you should sell it to them, right? That's what I struggled with for a while until I learned the formula.   So I created a special Mastermind called an OfferMind to get you on track with the right offer, and more importantly the right sales script to get it off the ground and sell it.   Wanna come?   They’re small groups on purpose so I can answer your direct questions in person for two straight days.   Hold your spot by going to OfferMind.com. Again, that's OfferMind.com.

This article focuses on Seattle, but just last year's numbers alone are amazing.   https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/uber-lyft-boosted-car-travel-by-94-million-miles-in-seattle-last-year-study-says/   Article about safety while using the rideshare apps for riders. Pretty good article that brings up some very valid points but also some terrible ones.

Not all the time, but when the riders have been very good about communicating I highly suggest waiting for them. Chances are if they say they are going to take good care of you they will. Prime example was Justin's trip this past weekend. Jason and I were convincing him to stay and wait it out and he did not want to. Jason actually turned down this trip and Justin took it. Questions from our facebook groups   Q: I was under the impression that uber/lyft pays for our tolls? Now i have an $185.25 ticket that i need to pay. Original toll was $12.75 amount of penalty is $172.50.   A: They reimburse you for your tolls if you look at the ride receipt. If you miss paying a toll it is on the driver to go back and pay it. If you do not pay it or pay the penalties they will suspend your driver's license   Q: So now that we're using the new uber driver app is there no way to cancel a ride and get paid for a no show? When i arrive at my destination i can see the timer for the rider is notified but then after that expires it goes into charging rider but the timer never changes its always at 0 minutes. At one point i’d literally have waited over 8 minutes and never received the option to cancel the ride as a no show.   A: Seems like this has been a pretty common glitch in the new app. The option is there but sometimes does not work. At that point i would just cancel the ride and take the hit after 5 minutes.   Q: Did uber eats reduce the pick up fee for drivers? I have been doing uber eats since december when they first rolled it out here in Grand Rapids and the pick up fee has always been $1.98, but today both of my food deliveries were only $1.08 pick up fee.   A: Yes they lowered the delivery on both sides for the customer and for the driver. Have to think they lowered it because of all the new platforms starting in Grand Rapids.   Q: Did you know that Lyft has a maximum fare? Once you reach that maximum you will not be paid to drive any farther.   A: To check what the maximum rate is in your market go to dashboard on the driver app then click on rate card. In Grand Rapids maximum for regular lyft is $300. It’s the same for lyft xl also. Lyft lux is $375 maximum.

ParentingAces - The Junior Tennis and College Tennis Podcast

We all know what mental toughness is and have likely heard various ways in which to train tennis players to do better in this realm. There are many methods and many mental coaches out there, several of whom have been featured on the ParentingAces website and podcast over the years. In this week's episode, Frank Giampaolo introduces his new book, Neuro Priming for Peak Performance (click here for more information), and helps us understand what exactly neuro priming is all about. I'm very intrigued by this method of getting in the mental zone before any type of stressful situation and will be interested to hear your thoughts on whether this approach could be successful with your player(s)! As I mention in the podcast, Frank has generously offered a free copy of his Match Chart Collection for the ParentingAces audience. Click here to get yours! You can find this and all of Frank's books on the ParentingAces website here. "I've been friends with Frank since I was a junior. His outside the box approach to organizing the often secret mental, emotional components is ground breaking. Neuro Priming is no exception." -- Stevie Johnson, ATP Professional "This book is going to transform the way athletes around the globe prepare for competition. It's a must read for every athlete, parent and coach. -- Johan Kriek, 2- Time Grand slam Champion  "Amazing new book! The best players intuitively learn their game then have to relearn it when things go astray. Neuro Priming For Peak Performance is a game changer." -- Peter Smith: USC Men's Coach The following is taken from Frank's enewsletter, and I thought it would be of interest to my listeners/readers: Cali Jankowski Age Started: 9 years old First Tournament: 10 years old Residence: Southern California Notable Results: 14’s Winter National Champion 14’s Intersectional National Champions Team Member 2 Time Henry Talbert Winner 16’s Intersectional National 2nd Place Team Member 16’s National Clay Courts 5th Place 16’s National Selection Winner 18’s Yamasaki Winner 18’s Mike Agassi No Quit Winner 18’s Ojai Winner 18’s National Selection Winner 18’s National Clay Courts 4th Place 18’s Stanford Eve Zimmerman/Johnson National Winner   NOTE TO THE NEXT GENERATION: An In-depth Interview with SCTA #1 Cali Jankowski  Q: At what age did you begin your SCTA tournament career?  A: I was ten years old when I played my first ever tennis tournament. It was a small, round-robin tournament at a local high school. I didn’t come home with any hardware but definitely caught the competitive bug.   Q: Did you belong to a multi-generational tennis family or did your parents have to learn right along with you?  A: Not in the slightest! My dad played in high school and my mom played in ladies league. Neither of them had any idea what the world of competitive junior tennis was like. As a family, we were constantly learning something new about what to do and what not to do.   Q: How did they navigate the junior tennis wars? A:  It was a lot of trial and error for them. We had zero connections to the tennis world, so we had to find out for ourselves what coaches and clinics were most beneficial by trying. This meant trying a place for a few weeks and then deciding whether or not to move on or stay. My parents always had my best interest at heart and knew that there would be a good coach out there to refine my skills; it was just a matter of stumbling across that club or coach.   Q: In the 12’s, were you getting the results you believed you were capable of achieving?  A: I was awful in the 10’s and early 12’s. I didn’t win my first Open Tournament until I was 12. I believe this was because I played very differently from my opponents- I was a hard hitter. I fell in love with tennis because it was so fun to hit the ball really hard, so anytime I came across a pusher (Like in every tournament!), I would collapse mentally, and my strokes would fall apart. I don’t think I was getting the results I was capable of. While my first coach was a firm believer in making sure I stuck to my aggressive style, he never gave me the tools I needed to take down pushers/retrievers. This was my biggest downfall.   Q: What came easily to you in the 14's... what proved more difficult? A:  I definitely started to make strides once I hit 13 or so. I was adding more dimensions to my game and adjusting my training to quality over quantity. At my peak in the 14’s, I reached about top 10 in SoCal. I was starting to understand what it took to beat any style of player. However, this mindset was very inconsistent. For me, it was difficult to maintain that high level of focus and patience for more than a few matches in a row. I finally had a massive breakthrough when I was 14; I kept my focus for an entire tournament and won the Winter Nationals, out of nowhere, as the 16 seed! This definitely gave me a huge boost of confidence.   Q: Your ranking skyrocketed in the 16's. What were the reasons for the results?  A: In the 16’s, I started putting together a really strong arsenal of coaches and match play. This meant getting my butt kicked on a weekly basis by older boys and doing countless drills that I couldn’t stand. I became a lot more independent and began to take responsibility for my game- which I believe really helped my game. I started managing my practice schedule and training the way I wanted to train. Being in charge of my practices made me excited to practice and get better. I’ll be honest though, sometimes putting in the work wasn’t super fun, but winning several big tournaments in one year was :)   Q: What life skills has tennis taught you?  A: Tennis has absolutely shaped me into the person I am today. It has forced me to start thinking for myself a lot younger than the average teenager. I have also become incredibly independent when it comes to running my tennis, life, house and taking care of my dog. I also learned time management and the ability to solve problems quickly. Many of the obstacles I learned to hurdled over on the tennis court, from a young age, translated over to real life. I think any tennis player of a high level can speak on this: we are a lot more prepared for college than the average teen.   Q: Knowing then what you know now, how could you have maximized your potential at a quicker rate?  A: I wasted a lot of time from age 10 to about 13 ½. I should’ve been working smarter, not harder. Instead of hitting a ton of forehands crosscourt, I should’ve been refining my short angles, lobs, footwork and patterns. Strokes aside, I was very late to strengthening the mental aspect of my game. I would let my emotions run my game and determine the outcome of my matches. I still get frustrated on the court, but you will never ever see it translate to the next point. I have a very fiery personality that will never change, but it has definitely been harnessed.   Q: Within the 4 major components, what would you of done differently or given more attention to? Stroke Development  Athleticism Mental Emotional  A: I would have worked on the mental and emotional components just as much as perfecting backswings and foot speed. I wish I could have spent more time off the court learning about how to manage my emotions and how to construct points. In my early tournament years, my frustrations on the court never stemmed from my bad grip or weird stroke, but from not knowing how to reset emotionally and actually play smart tennis. Q: What type of specialized coaches, trainers & PT's are part of your entourage? A: As of right now, I work with three different coaches. With Frank Giampaolo, I work on drilling my secondary shots and refining my mental and emotional tactics and routines. I also work with a hitting coach where we almost always do live ball or point play the entire training session. He adjusts his style of play based on what I need to work on. Then, my third coach watches, coaches and directs while I spar with another player. I also do a group fitness class twice a week and once every other week get a sports massage from the same fitness trainer. I go to the gym throughout the week as well. They weren’t kidding when they say it takes a village.   Q: Did you play High School tennis all four years? Why or why not?  I enrolled in an online high school starting my freshman year. This was to ensure I could travel and train without the restrictions of a classroom from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. I have never played high school tennis and have zero regrets about not doing so. High school coaches are strict about players attending all practices and matches and I feel as though hitting with girls who only pick up a racket during tennis season would’ve done nothing for my game.   Q: According to ScholarshipStats.com approximately 1% of female high school tennis players receive a FULL RIDE D-1 college tennis scholarship. What college offer did you decide to take?  A: I will be attending Arizona State University in the Fall of 2018 on a FULL RIDE.   Q: What parting advice can you share with the current crop of parents and athletes on this journey? A: It sounds harsh but you kind of need to be selfish in this sport. Don’t feel the need to stick with a coach because you’ll hurt their feelings if you leave. If they are not working out, then move on and find something else. Same thing goes for the players themselves, don’t feel the need to keep playing when it starts to feel like a chore. Getting a little burnt out? Consider putting your rackets down for a little while and taking a break from tennis. The break will help you to determine if you love tennis and want to play again. It is virtually impossible to have good results when you aren’t enjoying it. Speaking of enjoying it, enjoy the wild ride of junior tennis. As someone who goes off to college in about nine months, I can confidently say that my junior tennis career has flown by. Best luck of luck to all the juniors and parents reading this!

KPCB’s James Huang Says High Healthcare Valuations Force Investors To Seek Early Stage Innovation

China's healthcare sector is seeing a flood of new capital from from non-professional investors such as Chinese coal mining and factory bosses, according to James Huang, a managing partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB) China, who focuses on life sciences. As a result, valuations have become excessive, forcing more experienced investors to adopt new strategies to get ahead of the "dumb money." Huang, a long-time healthcare investor who previously worked at Vivo Ventures, say one strategy is to seek earlier stage investments to try to find true innovators. He often finds himself on university campuses talking to professors and top researchers, discovering and potentially backing pioneering research teams at the earliest possible stage an investor could go in. A pharmaceutical veteran who has worked at GlaxoSmithKline, Bristol-Meyers Squibb and ALZA Corp., Huang told China Money Network that half of the companies he's invested in have achieved exits. And having made 15 investments in China since 2007, Huang believes that only professional healthcare investors and industry professionals can achieve long-term success in the sector. As for the "dumb capital" chasing hot deals, it will slowly be washed out of the market.   Read an edited interview Q&A below. Also subscribe to China Money Podcast for free in the iTunes store, or subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Q: What are some major trends emerging in China's healthcare industry? A: I think what is happening in China’s healthcare market is really exciting. The China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) initiated a major reform program around 18 months ago. There are sweeping changes in the way traditional generic drugs file for approval, what's required for approval, and how new branded products can start clinical trials and "green channels" for certain breakthrough therapies. For example, the time that companies have to wait for CFDA approval of HIV products they developed or discovered could be shortened to less than six months from the current two to three years. The new policy currently only applies to the HIV area, but CFDA is going to expand it to all the therapeutic areas for drug innovation. As a result, CFDA can greatly reduce its workload, and focus on the truly innovative drugs. That’s really exciting, because patients in China can now enjoy true generic drugs with lower prices. Q: Did the shortened approval time lead to even higher valuations for Chinese innovative drug companies? A: Well, it not only influenced the valuations, but also could increase the success rate of those companies. In this industry, time is money. To develop a new product is expensive. If you’re successful, the payoff is very high, but if you don’t have a good product, you want to kill it as soon as possible, so that they can start to focus on other new products. Q: With the new policy proposals and the emergence of a new wave of innovative drug start-ups, do you think China has a chance to become a leader in innovative drug development globally? A: In some medical technology areas, China is actually taking a leadership position, such as gene sequencing. China has the world's largest gene sequencing service company, BGI Genomics Co., Ltd. With more multinational companies coming to China and utilizing service providers like BGI, there exists more collaborations between young Chinese tech companies and foreign institutions. Also, for the very first time, CFDA reforms are allowing multinational clinical trials to be conducted, so we’ll see more cooperation between Chinese and foreign hospitals and medical schools. For the past few years, China has allowed companies to conduct central laboratory services for clinical trials. One company, a pioneer in the area is called Kindstar Global, offers central laboratory services for both hospitals and pharmaceutical companies conducting multinational clinical trials.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-336 – Varsity Punk Director Anthony Solorzano  (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4336.mp3] Link Team Hoyt Boston 2016 Campaign -> MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to episode 4-336 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  I'm squeezing this one in on an off week to help out my interviewee today, Anthony Solorzano, (sounds like a character from a Quintin Tarantino film), but he's a lifelong runner, with a passion, who is making, or has actually made a movie called Varsity Punks.  His Kickstarter campaign to put the finishing touches on this new cross country team themed movie ends on April 13th.  I figured with a little extra midnight oil I could get this episode up in time before that kickstarter closes.  If you want some good swag and want to help Anthony bring a running-themed feature length film to market go now and kick some cash his way.  I'm not getting any kickbacks, I just like the idea of bringing the discussion around running as a real sport out into the open!  I try to help people when I can.  It's karma.  So, yeah, we're talking to Anthony today about his movie.  Go watch the trailer – it's cool – the links are in the notes.  If I can swing it you'll get 3 podcasts in three weeks – plus all the good stuff I'm putting into the members section. In the first section I'm going to talk about why sometimes your training is always hard and why it's ok.  In the second section I wax counter-culturally about passion.  What I'm not going to give you are any advertisements.  No Harry's razors, no Audible and no Stamps.com.  Actually, while we're on the topic, I think you should go to the post office.  The public post is one of the great enablers of civilized society.  Yeah it's slow and everyone is grumpy but that's why you should go down there.  Think of the great impact you and your positive attitude can have on those poor, lost souls standing in line!  If you bought your stamps online you'd be denying them your bright light. Those confused old people using pennies to buy stamps ae the greatest generation.  They are the defenders of democracy and the western world.  You should go get to know them. Get thee to the post office!  Go when it's busy.  Stop along the way and bring coffee and donuts.  Strike up conversations, make friends and make someone's day.  Life's not just about the miserly squeezing of pennies and minutes.  Treat it like a safari, and adventure.    We are Ad free and listener supported.  To keep it that way we have created members' only content.

(I've got episodes 4329 – 4335 up – in pieces - already) We will consider other benefits as they are requested by you, because when you're a member it's all about you! I'd like to thank Eric and Keating and Cliff and Judith for paying the dealer this week.  I asked for feedback and Eric said I'm not funny anymore.  I used to be funny.  So I'll tell you some jokes:  Clean jokes for your kids.  For all you teachers and coaches.  The first one is for trail runners.  Q: How do crazy runners go through the forest? A: They take the psycho path. No didn't like that one?  This next one I may converted from a blonde joke…Q: Why did the Labrador retriever jog backwards? A: She wanted to gain weight! And here's one the 3-5 year-olds will think is hilarious… Q: Did you hear about the race between the lettuce and the tomato? A: The lettuce was a "head" but the tomato was running to "ketchup"!  … I kicked ass in the Eastern States 20 miler a couple weeks ago as my last tune up for Boston.  I came in at 5-10 seconds a mile faster than my goal pace even though it was my 2nd 20 miler inside of 7 days and I had to make a 2-minute potty stop at mile 7.  My Heart rate was a bit high and I had a little power loss at mile 16-18 but my legs were strong and I finished strong.  All the lights are green for Boston.  We just have to get decent weather and I have to figure out how to navigate around the 14-16,000 runners between where I'm starting and my pace group.  My number is 28766 if you want to track me. Now I'm in my taper.  That doesn't mean I'll stop training it just means I'll switch to race specific training like shorter speed work, strength and stretching.  I also have to reign the diet in to see if I can cut 5-10 pounds for the race.  I was a wrestler in high school – so I know how to drop weight. I've been pretty hard on myself for not being able to make this qualification time.  I could have knocked this time out without too much struggle in 2011 before I ran (heh heh) into a couple of wee health challenges.  But, I suppose, if you look at the age-graded curve with the new qualification times you could make a case that if I succeed this year it will be an age-graded PR for me by 3-5 minutes.  I don't know. I try not to get too wrapped around the axle on this sort of mental gymnastics.  It's all a bit self-serving.  Anyone who wants to say ‘hi' on marathon weekend, that's typically a challenge for me because I'm pretty busy and I like to lay low before the race.  I usually go into the expo on Saturday Morning to get my stuff.   My club has a hotel room at the finish if you want to stop by and have a shower or an adult beverage I'll be there.  Fair warning though – given my starting coral I may not be rolling in until after 4:00!  It's ironic that we are almost back to the traditional noon start we used to have for the race! Crazy days!  Everything is going too well.  Must be a crises coming! … Getting ready to talk with Anthony this week I did some reminiscing about my stint on my prep school cross country team.  I'm fairly confident that my time on a New England Prep School team was probably different than Anthony's time running in high school in East LA.  Who knows, maybe there are more similarities than differences?  I only ran for my last 2 years.  I joined up because the captains of the wrestling team were also the captains of the cross country team.  We had a pretty small team.  But I made the varsity team.  I was the 5th man.  This is the slow guy that you need to fill out the team for scoring purposes.  The top 5 guys get scored in the meets.  I would finish in the middle of the pack.  I was probably running in the low 6-minute mile range.  Story of my life – steady and mediocre! I hated the races.  Our courses were short and mostly off-road.  Some of them had obstacles like steeplechase.  Like fallen trees, steep hills – stuff like that but also a lot of athletic fields.  Most of the courses in our league were 2 miles or less – so it was pretty much an all-out anaerobic effort.  Those short races hurt like hell. They'd line us up across some soccer field or something in separate corals by team, maybe a couple hundred feet of starting line – all spread out.  Then invariably after 100 meters or so they'd slam you into a single path trail. Everyone would have to come off the line in a dead sprint to get to the trail first and box the other guys out.  Yeah, it was like the hunger games.  But, I loved the practices.  We'd go out as a team on these long runs all around Groton.  Out on the back roads and through the woods. It was awesome.  I learned a lot about training and running. We used to ride to away meets in a school van.  Because our team was so small we could fit in one van.  Our coach would drive.  He was a kindly guy who was also the Trigonometry teacher.  Oddly enough he smoked a pipe.  Hey it was the 70's.  The pipe tobacco he liked was called “Borkum Riff” and I remember that smell as he smoked his pipe in the van on the way to the meet.  Sports were never a priority for me.  I am so glad that the prep school I went to forced you to do competitive sports.  If they hadn't I might never have learned what little I was capable of.  It isn't about winning, or being a champion.  It's about learning. Learning what you're capable of.  Learning how to be a member of a team.  Learning how to suffer for that team. Make sure you and your kids and your community have that opportunity to learn. On with the Show! Section one - Running Tips It's supposed to hurt sometimes -   Voices of reason – the conversation Anthony – “Varsity Punks” Yes! The first link below takes you to our Kickstarter campaign (which ends early April) and has the first trailer to Varsity Punks, as well as a lot of the pertinent info. I was hoping you'd be able to squeeze in Anthony shortly before the end of the Kickstarter but late April would absolutely work.    I also included a few other links. I specifically recommend the KCET article.            What is Varsity Punks? An independent feature film in the making! It's a fun high school movie about belonging, portrayed with authentic teenage moments and inspiring sports drama. Genre: Coming-Of-Age Sports Comedy Setting: Present-day San Gabriel Valley Estimated Running Time: 100 min. Logline: When star quarterback, AJ Montoya, breaks his hand, his only hope is to team up with his longtime rivals – the cross country team, a group of nerds and misfits with potential for high school glory! Production Update: (as of Nov. 2015) We are currently in post-production. That means we are done shooting and now it's time to put the movie together through editing, color correction, music and sound design. You can expect a completed film early in 2016. Where Can I See It? Some time around Spring/Summer 2016   Section two 5 myths about finding your true passion - Outro Friends and members, runners and cavaliers, you have giggled, guffawed and snickered your way to the end of Episode 4-336 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Now go do something useful.  When this podcast drops I'll be around 10 days out from Boston.  I'm still not injured or broken.  I'm a little heavy but my legs are strong.  Coach has me doing pace runs and shorter track stuff to ‘freshen the legs'.  The hay is in the barn and it's almost time to dance with the devil.  Did you see Neely from last week's interview was on the cover of that famous running magazine this month?  I swear those guys follow me around just to poach my good ideas!    A couple reminders before I let you go.  You can still support my Team Hoyt campaign for Boston.  The links are in the show notes.  April 24th is our 25th anniversary Groton Road Race. We've set up the virtual race if you want join from afar – just go to – Hope to see you there.  It's been a great privilege for me to be able to work with the race.  I figure everyone already knows by now but I have 3 books that you can get on Amazon.  First is called “The Mid-Packer's Lament” a collection of running stories, some of them quite funny, (Eric), “The Mid-Packer's Guide to the Galaxy” is a second collection stories, some of them quite funny and my latest “MarathonBQ” outlines the program and all the tricks and tips I used to qualify for Boston when I was a puppy – and that one is on Audible as well and isn't funny at all.  More jokes here…These are a little edgier…you might want to tell them to your 10 year-olds. Q: What do you get when you run in front of a car? A: TIRED Q: Q: What do you get when you run behind a car? A: EXHAUSTED Q: What do you do when a golden retriever throws a pin at you? A: Run! She's got a hand grenade in her mouth.  … I'm looking forward to Boston and Groton.  As I get older I'm learning to enjoy these great sign-post moments in my life.  I stop the smell the roses more.  I can't tell if that is the blunting of my own passions or the sanguinity of self-awareness. Zen Runner did a bit a few weeks ago about bucket list items.  I was looking at the things that people came up with and wondering about my own list.  Which is another strange thing we do – compare the things we've accomplished or more appropriately collected with other people.  People were listing things like run a marathon or an ultra or maybe qualify for Boston…things like that.  And it kind of struck me that while I've been going about my business I've collected a lot of souvenirs and memories.  I've been graced and for that I am grateful. Run a marathon? How about more than 50? Qualify for Boston? Yup. Write a book? Uh huh 3 of em. Ultra? Sure.  Start a business, yessir.  Triathlons? Yup.  Mountain bike ultras? Done.  Be a race director? Affirmative.  Read the classics? Most of em. Stay married and raise a couple of functional adults. Present and accounted for.  See the world? A good chunk of it. Interestingly, I never sat down and said ‘these are the things that I want to accomplish'.  This was an organic mélange of little projects that interested me at the time.  A portfolio of hobbies, passions and necessities.  I'm not done.  Not by a long shot.  I've got a list of cool stuff in my back pocket that I'm going to shoehorn into this world one way or another.  Like the marquee on a B movie “The Adventure Continues (dot dot dot)”. It's not a contest.  There is no score on the polished granite marker that lays in the grass above your withered corpse.  Yesterday, today, tomorrow; it's all the same.  Do what interests you.  Don't keep score. Keep swinging away until the bat falls from your hands. And I'll see you out there. Closing comments   So, yeah, the universe is in balance… – and l'll see you out there.

This interview is with Derek Doepker, the guy behind “Kindle Bestseller Secrets“. Derek cracked the code to publishing an Kindle bestseller without a huge marketing budget or a huge list behind him. You’re going to learn a lot… Q: What got you interested in starting an online business and how did you get started? I volunteered at a seminar that taught people how to start their own online business. When I realized the knowledge I had gained researching health and fitness over the years could be used as an asset to make me money, it got me excited about the prospect of creating passive income streams.  While having an online business started as a way to make money, it eventually became more about the ability to help change people’s lives. Q: Did you have any failures early on and what did you learn from them? My very first attempt at affiliate marketing through facebook ads didn’t work out well at all. I lost quite a bit of money and didn’t get back into online marketing for about another year or so.  Once I got into blogging, it was a big struggle to drive traffic to my posts. The was a bit frustrating because I knew I had great content. I’m pretty grateful those things didn’t work out though because it forced me to learn other methods to grow my business and to become an innovator rather than just copying all the other “push button” systems out there. Q: What’s the main thing that made the difference for you to cross the line from “struggling” to becoming successful? Looking back, I realize the vast majority of my success came from developing relationships and friendships with other successful people. These relationships also came about when I placed my focus on serving others. The more I focus on serving others and providing value, the more comes back to me in return. I also believe one must blend imitation with creation.  That is, model what works, but also find your own path so you stand out from the crowd. Q: What’s the best piece of “big picture” advice you would give to someone just starting their online business? Don’t ask yourself “how can I GET xyz…”  That could be “how can I get money?” “how can I get traffic?” “how can I get fans?” etc. All my success came when I switched the focus to what I could provide others. “How can I provide so much value people will WANT to pay me?” “How can I help someone in my niche spread their message?” “How can I serve people and make their lives better?” When I asked myself those types of questions, not only did I more creative business ideas, but I made a lot more money too. Q: What is your system for sitting down and getting work done on a daily or weekly basis? Usually I just force myself to get started, and then I’ll get into a state of flow naturally. Many times the biggest obstacle is to just get the ball rolling. One way I do that is to just say I’m not going to do anything else until I knock out whatever is on my priority list for the day. Q: What could you have done that would have made you successful sooner? Network and make connections in my niche. My biggest success is thanks to the people that have helped me and guided me. Also, not trying to do a bunch of different stuff, but focus on doing one thing and mastering it. Q: What would you tell people just starting out that they should focus on? Find a way to make people’s lives better.  Business is all about solving problems for pay. Figure out a way to help others and improve their lives, and there’s a way to make money from it. Q: Why do some people succeed online and others never do? There could be many reasons for this. One thing is that people are looking for “step-by-step” systems that they think will do the work for them. Instead of asking themselves why certain things work on a bigger picture level.  The more I’ve studied business principles in a general sense, the more successful I’ve been. That’s because I have a greater context of why things work vs simply what things work. Then if the landscape of online marketing changes, such as google updates or new social networks, I can rapidly adapt. Don’t rely on a guru to hand you the system. Instead, look at why their systems work and innovate to create your own tactics. A side note is that I see a lot of people going through stuff and they just want to skim through different products taking bits and pieces. If you’re going to be successful, you need to really sit with information for a while.  Ask yourself a lot of questions. Do a lot of market research. Get to know your target audience. This isn’t an overnight thing, but a process. Some people are too impatient to learn the details and go through the process. It’s not particularly hard, but they have a short term “make money now” mentality instead of treating their online business as a real long-term legitimate business. The funny thing is, their desire to cut corners and save time just keeps them struggling longer and ultimately wasting their time. Q: How has running your own online business changed your life? I’ve been able to quit my job and pursue what I love. Most importantly, I get feedback from people telling me how much my training or information has helped them. It feels amazing to know I’m living a life of purpose where my contributions make a difference in the world. Q: What motivates you to keep going and become even more successful? Realizing that if I hold myself back, then I’m robbing others of my insights and information that could change their lives. The more I place my focus on service to others, the more inspired I am. Q: What is your favorite software tool that you use in your business and why? My brain is the most reliable tool. There’s a lot of cool software, but somehow I never end up really falling in love with anything because it’s usually my intuition that has led me to my best insights. Q: How much of your time do you dedicate to: 1) self-education and learning new skills 2) generating new traffic, leads and customers for your business and 3) generating revenue? This isn’t set in stone. These things constantly fluctuate depending on what I’m doing with my business. With kindle however, I spend very little time actively pursuing leads and customers since I let Amazon do that for me. Q: What are some of you best Kindle tips for people that are building a Kindle business, and what are some tips for people who want to but havent’ started yet? Create quality content that people will rave about. This makes the whole promotion and selling process easy. Also, I love running 5 day promotions and hitting each promo with everything I’ve got. Treat launching a kindle book like a grand opening of a brick and mortar business. Invest all your resources into doing a couple of days of really heavy promotion to drive it up the bestsellers list, and then let Amazon do the rest. Amazon will bring you more traffic than anything you can do on your own. For people who haven’t started, I would say just get your first book done. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Even if it totally sucks, you can go back and change the title, description, cover, keywords, or even the book itself. Amazon is a very low-risk way to test things out. And if it doesn’t work out, then you can still probably sell at least a few copies and make back your initial investment. It’s not like driving paid traffic to a report that has to convert or else you lose all your money. Q: What Kindle strategy is working the best for you right now? KDP select free promotions, 5 days in a row, every 90 days. I hit those hard with free and paid traffic. Get my book a ton of free downloads, and then sit back and do nothing once it goes on sale because Amazon will drive thousands of buyers on autopilot. Q: If someone only has an hour a day to build their Kindle business, what is the best use of their time? Kindle works in phases. So when you’re in the writing (or getting someone else to write) phase, that whole hour is dedicating to getting the book together. Then the next phase is the pre-launch phase, then the launch phase. Basically, you’re totally focused one whatever it is you need to do during each phase. It’s not like a person needs to do a bunch of different things each day. There’s usually only one or a couple main things on my to-do list on any given day for my kindle business. I want to thank Derek again for taking the time to answer these questions- he gave away a ton of solid info.
