This Day in Legal History: Nevada Joins the Union by TelegraphOn October 31, 1864, Nevada was admitted as the 36th state of the United States, a remarkable feat as the entire Nevada state constitution was sent to Washington, D.C. by telegraph. This move, a workaround to secure swift approval, resulted in the longest and most costly telegram of its time, spanning over 16,000 words. Nevada's expedited entry into the Union was driven by urgent political motivations: President Abraham Lincoln, up for re-election, sought the state's support for his war policies and for the proposed 13th Amendment, which aimed to abolish slavery nationwide. The telegram cost nearly $4,000, a vast sum at the time, equivalent to over $65,000 today, underscoring the importance of Nevada's statehood in the context of the Civil War and the Union's priorities.Nevadans had moved quickly to draft their constitution, striving to meet the requirements for statehood by the October deadline. Officials feared delays from the traditional route of sending documents by train or stagecoach, so they opted for the more reliable telegraph, despite the high expense. On the eve of Lincoln's re-election campaign, Nevada's admission helped solidify the Union's stance and reflected Lincoln's strategy to add states sympathetic to his policies. With the telegraphed constitution, Nevada became a “battle-born” state, joining the Union at a time when its allegiance to the Union cause was invaluable. The U.S. Supreme Court recently allowed Virginia to remove around 1,600 voters from its rolls just before an election, stirring criticism from voting rights advocates who called it a misuse of the shadow docket. The decision stayed lower court rulings that found Virginia's policy violated federal law by not respecting a required 90-day "quiet period" before elections, during which systematic voter removals are prohibited. Although the court's conservative majority approved the purge, neither the majority nor dissenting justices explained their reasoning, leaving observers unclear if the decision was based on a legal disagreement or if it was influenced by the Purcell principle, which discourages election-related changes close to voting.The case stemmed from an August executive order by Governor Glenn Youngkin mandating daily voter roll updates based on DMV citizenship data, shifting from a monthly process. Lower courts had sided with the Biden administration and voting groups in blocking this purge, but the Supreme Court's quick, unexplained intervention left little clarity. Critics argue that such opaque, rapid rulings—typical of the shadow docket—are problematic, as they provide no legal guidance and can cause voter confusion, particularly given that such actions seem to contradict the Purcell principle, meant to avoid last-minute electoral disruptions.Justices Cause Confusion With No Voting Purge Ruling ExplanationThe Trump campaign filed a lawsuit against Bucks County, Pennsylvania, alleging that election officials turned away voters attempting to request mail-in ballots. According to claims circulated by Trump supporters on social media, some voters left empty-handed after waiting in long lines. County officials attributed the issues to a "miscommunication" and said that people briefly were told they couldn't be accommodated. Pennsylvania Judge Jeffrey G. Trauger granted a preliminary injunction extending the deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot to November 1, finding that the county's actions violated the state's election code.In Pennsylvania, there is no early in-person voting, but voters can apply for mail-in ballots in person, which led to long lines at Bucks County application sites. The lawsuit, supported by the Republican National Committee, the Pennsylvania GOP, and Senate candidate David McCormick, is part of broader efforts in the key battleground state, where polls show close competition between Trump and Kamala Harris. County officials clarified that voters in line by 5 p.m. would be accommodated and assured voters they could pick up their mail-in ballots later in the week if needed.Trump Campaign Sues in Philly Suburb Over Mail-In Ballots (1)Elon Musk has been summoned to a Pennsylvania court regarding Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's attempt to halt Musk's $1 million-a-day giveaway aimed at registered voters in swing states before the November 5 U.S. election. The giveaway, backed by Musk and America PAC, offers cash to randomly selected individuals who sign a petition supporting free speech and gun rights, as long as they are registered voters in key states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Krasner's lawsuit claims the program constitutes an “illegal lottery” unauthorized by the state and suggests it violates consumer protection laws by allegedly misrepresenting the rules.The legal challenge, set to be addressed by Judge Angelo Foglietta, focuses on state law violations, though legal experts note potential federal implications if the initiative is seen as incentivizing voter registration or influence. Although the U.S. Department of Justice warned Musk's group about possible federal issues, no federal charges have been filed. The initiative has become a major component of Trump's campaign, with Musk providing significant financial backing and voicing public support for the former president.Musk due in court as $1 million voter giveaway faces courtroom test | ReutersA new lawsuit reveals tensions over legal fee-sharing following a massive $5.6 billion settlement in an antitrust case against Visa and MasterCard over credit card swipe fees. Scott + Scott, a law firm involved in the case, is suing co-counsel Robins Kaplan for allegedly reneging on an agreement to pay Scott + Scott $5 million from its share of the settlement fees, ensuring the firm would receive $20 million. This dispute stems from a 2015 informal fee-sharing agreement tied to another case where Robins Kaplan received $50 million in fees.Last year, the 2nd Circuit upheld the $523.2 million attorney fees in the Visa-MasterCard case, allocated to several law firms involved. However, Scott + Scott claims it was only allocated $15 million by Robbins Geller and that Robins Kaplan is now refusing to pay the agreed $5 million difference. The case highlights how class action firms sometimes rely on informal agreements to share fees, which are typically not disclosed. Legal experts note that courts prefer to avoid such disputes after approving settlements and fees. Additionally, Scott + Scott's lawsuit may be complicated by the involvement of Patrick Coughlin, an antitrust lawyer who previously worked with Robbins Geller but later joined Scott + Scott.Legal Fee Tracker: Lawsuit reveals fight over awards after $5.6 bln 'swipe fees' settlement | Reuters This is a public episode.

A listener's beautiful take on the changing nature of flow.  Happy Friday, y'all! The weather is finally cooperating this weekend in Utah. So I hope you all are going to get out and ride, I know I am. I completed an interview yesterday with Dr. Eric Brymer. This interview will air on Tuesday, May 21st, but we got to talking about the existential or mystical facet—the spiritual facet—of adventure, and adventure in nature, in particular. And it was interesting that I conducted this interview right after I had received the most beautiful message from one of our listeners, Scott (Scott, if you're here, say hi in the comments so people can respond to you directly!), who lives in Utah. He responded to the form I put out this week asking for feedback about the podcast, (thank you to everybody who filled out that form, btw. I really appreciate it.), and he suggested we talk about some of the differences in how flow feels between cross country and downhill. So I reached out to him saying that I loved his point about cross country flow vs. downhill flow, and I asked him which one he tended to prefer. And Scott had the most beautiful response that spoke directly to what Dr. Eric Brymer was speaking of in that interview. It was so beautiful that I asked him if I could share his message with you all. I get these messages from time to time from riders that just blow me away at who is listening to the show. If you see yourself in Scotts message, just know that there are so many of us out in nature, on a bike, finding these deep, meaningful, impactful life changing experiences out there. And I wanted to share this one.   If you have a message you'd like to share with the AOMTB audience, message me directly on Substack or send it to theartofmountainbikingpodcast@gmail.com.

Scot: [0:39] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason and Scot show listeners Jason as you know one of the most common questions we get from our huge listing audience is about live streaming with e-commerce is it a big deal why is it seem to be growing faster in the East versus the west and how important is it to live live streaming so we thought we'd get a expert on the show as a guest that could help unpack that for us all and you better than someone who's LED marketing for numerous historic Brands and served as the CMO for the mother of all video shopping sites QVC / HSN and so that's exactly who we found, we're excited to welcome to the show Brian beitler he is the founder of mobile V Commerce app called soon and the general manager of live shop venters both part of the Keurig group. And I'm not sure Jason but that's a lot of words in the title but I think it's maybe half of the words in your title but welcome to the show Brian we're excited to have you. Brian: [1:36] Grateful to be here and I'll work on trying to lengthen the title so I can keep up with Jason. Jason: [1:41] Set your set your goals higher Brian. Brian: [1:43] Thank you for having me. Jason: [1:48] Brian we are thrilled to have you and as our listeners will quickly figure out and we are eager to jump into all this video Commerce stuff but before we do we always like to give the listeners a little bit of perspective about our guests background and where they're coming from and in your case it's a super impressive retail / consumer background so can you can you give us the version that your mom would share with her friends in the elevator. Brian: [2:15] Happy to do so so I'll back up a decade or two but I started well where I consider I started my career was at Mattel that huge toy conglomerate in fact they're very popular right now coming off of a I think a major hit movie. It's doing very well. Yes I think so has the rest of the world at this point but I started my career there and fell in love with the toy industry and thought that's where I would really spend. My entire career when I left Mattel. In the early 2000s I at the time was leading the core part of the Hot Wheels brand a dream job as a father and a former young boy. [2:56] But I thought I would give myself a taste of retail in the toy industry so I actually left metallic thought I would spend a couple of years on the retail side working with it. A brand I knew we all knew and loved at some point in our childhood called Toys R Us and truthfully I the reason I'm here today is I fell in love with retail there, and what was different for me about retail versus consumer packaged Goods was just the speed of retail it felt like it moved at light speed compared to kind of course EPG brand management, and you know I often tell the story you know working in those days to change you know the package on a five car pack took a couple of years to get it to Market and. I joined Toys R Us and we had this idea to launch a birthday club and. At the time I went to the CEO of the company John I learned and it was how quickly could you get it in Market could you do it in a couple of months. And that and I was often running and in love with retail and so spent a couple of years there and then just continued to be given these remarkable opportunities to work with, really amazing Brands and helping them reshape their narratives with their consumers or and or finding new Pathways new emerging ways, I could grow I was you know there at Bath and Body Works when we launched e-commerce we redesigned the site as a marketing site decided oh we might be able to sell something. Through here and that's been my journey so from from Bath and Body Works to Kohl's department store. [4:24] Then my hand in the bridal industry and private Equity with David's Bridal and then women's apparel and you know fast forward. A few few years and here I am at curate Retail Group. Working in what I think is an exciting future for digital Commerce. [4:42] All of those roles you know usually leading the marketing you know the marketing or e-commerce function for those various Brands and learning a lot making a lot of mistakes a lot of mistakes I'm getting a few things right every now and then, and you know kind of Landing in a pretty exciting place here at grea where we think we're going to do something you know again interesting a new in the digital space. Jason: [5:04] Yeah and a couple of fun facts brand you've LED marketing for for a bunch of those Brands you just mentioned and while you were doing that I was nominally helpful in building a bunch of the the backend e-commerce functionality for those same Brands and so I think without knowing it you've hated me your entire life for all the the features you wanted and didn't get or the the the pace of evolution so I just wanted to apologize publicly for all of that. Brian: [5:34] I appreciate that. Jason: [5:35] But one of the things I particularly love about your career is is I have this theory that, you know though all of retailers has been profoundly disrupted by digital but not all at the same time and so there were there are industries that are disrupted a long time ago and there's you know if you're a grocer or a car dealer you're probably getting disrupted you know right now and I feel like you serendipitously or maybe intentionally have have been in a bunch of Industries. Right at the peak of their disruption so your Toys R Us when when shopping online became a thing and then urine Beauty when that became a thing and then you are you are in the the the heat of the the apparel Wars online and now you're you're squarely in the v Commerce space and it's you know one of the things we talked about the most on the show so whether you did that on purpose or not congratulations on on surfing that digital disruption wave. Brian: [6:32] No I appreciate that I think much much of it was serendipitous I would say that the pieces that probably weren't was my desire to always work for, brands that were leaders in their respective category or industry and as I look back and reflect that's probably one of the things that has been the most rewarding and probably given me the best. Growth is being able to work with you know brands that were at the Forefront Mattel at the time was the leader in in toy manufacturing still still are. Toys R Us at the time was the leader in toy retail Bath & Body Works was the largest kind of. Bath & Body brand at the time Cole's was it was a chaser of you know kind of the discount Department space and ran past JCPenney's and Sears and its competitors and so that for me has been exciting because you know I think being with those who build powerful platforms, let you learn from the best and you know here I said today with curate retailgeek which owns QVC and HSN. You know the largest livestream platform on the globe by far the industry, leader having changed the landscape of how you could use television to shop you know some 35 years ago and continued it for nearly four decades now so that part of trying to work with brands that, I felt were really leaders in their space because I thought it would be a great place for me to learn has certainly been intentional and then this digital Crossroad just happened to kind of line up and almost all of those places at the time I was there. Jason: [7:56] That is awesome and today I sort of perceive you you are on the Leading Edge of the curate retailgeek Roop with your current responsibilities and I definitely want to talk about those but if I have the story right before you took on your current role you also had broader marketing responsibilities for the core QVC HSN Brands is that. Brian: [8:19] I did I did that's that's right I joined you know curate retailgeek rupe. And 20/20 is the chief marketing officer for QVC and HSN are two largest video Commerce businesses, at the time and you know fast forward we obviously are in the midst of those businesses are in their own form of transformation and disruption right for. In some ways you know you talk about a Crossroads, ask for businesses you know having come through retail when e-commerce was exploding and and Retail foot traffic was being affected as people. Spent more time online and less time in stores if you look at where accurate retailgeek Roop you know is today right streaming has remade the way we View television and so we've had to remake our business, there as well primary our audience used to be almost entirely on. [9:07] You know on cable or we reach over 100 million households in the US we used to reach all of those almost on cable and over the last several years is as people have migrated from cable to streaming services we've migrated our business we still reach 100 million households, but today we reach many of those through streaming services because they don't have cable subscriptions any longer and so, you know joining another business who was in the midst of transformation again was was somewhat serendipitous I was excited about the future video and video Commerce had use that, extensively at kind of my two preceding roles and so part of the excitement of joining curate was joining someone who is at The Cutting Edge of this but to your point that's been migrating, and then as we look at the future we said Gee what places do we really own, from an e-commerce perspective and we own the 10 foot screen the screen that you see in front of you from a living room perspective. [9:58] We do really well on the laptop you know the desktop for for e-commerce shopping like most traditional e-commerce retailers but as we thought about the small screen that wasn't a place where we had really built, for the future yet we thought were really well positioned we could certainly see what was happening in in Asia and the explosion of Live And mobile driven Commerce. And realize that that was going to happen here in the west as well. And felt like we were in a position to innovate around that but we needed to put some real Focus around that so you know about a year ago I stepped out of my role as Chief marketing officer of QVC nhsn, to build live shop Ventures and ultimately to launch the soon platform that we're going to talk about today. Jason: [10:42] Amazing and and I for sure I'm going to get into that but I did think you could help us clear up a few just basic questions about the industry first a I now have some some Envy because your TV is 10 feet at home I'm kind of jealous but the. You you call that V Commerce and I'm just curious like I hear all these different phrases all the time I hear people kind of talk about live streaming when they they don't necessarily mean live and video like is there a preferred label that you guys like to kind of describe this, this industry. Brian: [11:18] For sure we love the V e-commerce label in fact we think V Commerce will be the new e-commerce and what we mean by that largely is that, more and more consumers shopping experiences will be driven by video in fact if you look at today's youngest consumer right gen Z or the Next Generation Rising almost all of their Discovery happens in a video experience. If you think about it and it could come from one of the well-known video players right who's in this space Instagram which has become largely video Tick-Tock who obviously has led the way there YouTube. All of these places if I think about and I have so fun fact I have six kids, the youngest is squarely gen Z 12 years old the oldest is Millennial 29 years old and I watched their journey and most of their Discovery right the new trip they're going to take. The next meal they're going to make the next product they're going to buy the next television show they're going to watch is all coming through their video feed. Yet in the e-commerce space we're still largely dependent upon static images and or in the physical space on boxes and shelf talkers and that's just not the way that the rising generation discovers. Anything new. Scot: [12:34] Yep ingredient it's interesting you have a built-in test bed is that was that part of your strategy. Brian: [12:40] I think that that if. Scot: [12:42] We need more kids I need to get another generation. Brian: [12:44] If you went back in math my career I did a pretty good job landing at the right Brands and price basis for my for my kids ages the only one they might say I got wrong was the bridal industry I was a bit premature on the bridal industry, but but you know as I look back so we do we talk a lot about be Commerce and that for us means live it also means pre-recorded, right it can mean you know things that are that are behind the scenes it's anything that really leverages video to help tell the product and Brand Story to a consumer in a way that helps them make better decisions and get to yes faster. That's where we see the Innovation going that's where we see all brands needing to play we think it will look different in the west than it looks in the east. And that's because different consumers and different markets and different level of kind of retail development but we think it'll be globally relevant over the course of the next you know five to ten years. Scot: [13:37] Brickell as the entrepreneur host on the program Jason's a big company guy he's a you can tell by his title. He's corporate drone and he doesn't know who he works for half the time over there there's like he's like I think I have a boss but I don't know I don't know who approves my expense report Seymour, that's how big is a company and you know one of my favorite books is the innovators dilemma where and I'm sure you're familiar with it where you know most companies like tear you they were super Innovative and really did a ton in the category and you know a lot of them don't make it it's interesting to me that you're now working for a company that you know obviously. Is working to not get caught in that in most companies don't kind of sounds like and I may be reading too much in this you you either put your hand up and said I want to do this or they said we need someone to incubate this and you volunteered I'd love to hear the story of how your kind of like starting this company inside of a bigger company that that's interact to excuse you know the extent you can share our what you want to do that that's always interesting to hear because a lot of a lot of big companies don't do that. Brian: [14:39] No I appreciate that you know we feel, you know we I feel honored to kind of be in an organization and part of a company that's trying to lead that way Forbes just named, secure it retail one of the you know the country's top three hundred Innovative companies right so we're recognized for having thought about this space and we've innovated over the course of the last, 35 plus years if you were to look at what QVC nhsn looked like 30 years ago they look very different than what you see today both in the way that we reach interact with customers and so you know the story here you know I'll keep it relatively 34 for time sake but we were looking at you know the future of curate and looking for where we think, you know girls could come from I was obviously looking at that in my core role as Chief marketing officer I let our you know our insights and analytics team and we were looking at the consumer and we're looking at the businesses and the ages of and cohorts of consumers where we did really well and where we felt like, there was opportunity for us and one of those that was clear was we had an opportunity with the younger consumer and unlike many many brands that will often make the decision to go how do we stretch our brand younger it's one of the hardest things to do our view was to say. [15:49] We have a core customer we love our QVC and HSN customers 50-plus their affluent they have disposable income they love to engage with us and Us in this way as we think there is, potential for growth with still the 50-plus customer we have plenty of, consumers who can discover our experience who aren't you a shopping there and we think can fall in love with it but we did recognize hey there's a there's a rising generation that's that's embedded and videos embedded in the way that they operate, why aren't we doing anything there so I did raise my hand and talked a lot about you know that consumer and about the power of video and our expertise and, you know that with. David Robinson who was a new CEO Who had who had joined us in you know late 21 had a knife or for growth and an eye for the digital landscape and. You know started he started to think about where our future would would would lead and he knocked on my door. [16:45] Early and 22 and and we started to talk about what the future could be and how we might do that and decided he decided to establish the e-commerce Ventures is a new unit inside the organization and I join that team to help, you know lead a component of our Innovative future and so it does take having. A CEO that's got a mind for Innovation and you know the ability to say we're going to make the investment necessary to do that so. You know this isn't one of those I feel you know grateful for the fact that I get to work in this call it an intrapreneur setting. We're not chasing you no seed series a series B series C where we're going as a company we believe that we need to invest in the future and this is one of the ways that we can do that. Scot: [17:29] Yeah that's neat that you still sounds like you get the flavor of kind of a start-up within a big company but you can use infinite resources you guys have. Brian: [17:37] Yeah and that we think gives us an advantage and that that's true I we operate we don't have an operation in New York I soon is based in New York right are. QVC is based in West Chester Pennsylvania HSN is based in st. Petersburg Florida. Right so you know we set this up in a new location so that we could operate as an independent and entrepreneurial company but knowing that you know. Just an hour train ride away I've got hands and resources and folks that can kind of help us get through some of the tougher things of getting something off the ground. Scot: [18:09] Yeah exactly now do you have a pretty wide aperture what you could do so you could you say hey we want to just try something real fast on Tick-Tock or is your mandate it kind of needs to run through one of the mother ships or tap into. Brian: [18:24] No not at all. Scot: [18:25] The mothership or something. Brian: [18:26] No we have a very a very wide mandate most of the team comes from Industries outside of kind of are. Our CORE family fact most of the town I've hired has not been former or current QVC or HSN employees they have been, you know team and talent here based in New York City most of them which is where we found the talent pool that, looking forward to kind of build this future and we have a pretty wide aperture to test and try and that's we say we've been up for for several months now we're still we largely consider this the beta version because we are, finding the things that we think will be the best fit for the market and create the best experience for both consumers for Brands and ultimately for creators because we do the reason we refer to this as a platform is, we don't see this as just a one-dimensional or two-dimensional relationship you know brand to Consumer retailer to consumer, but we're also trying to build a place where creators can build a livelihood as well where Brands can create their own content to connect with consumers and where we've built kind of a new way for consumers, the kind of interact and discover new brands. Jason: [19:32] That is awesome and so it sounds like the soon mobile app is kind of the first public release from live shot Ventures am I thinking about that right. Brian: [19:42] Yeah it's the soonest kind of our first public facing you know component of the platform we have components that are that will face Brands and that will face creators to help round out this ecosystem that we think. We'll create a new way for you know these different constituencies to meet one another in a pretty exciting and interesting. Interesting way and they'll be more to share I'm not going to share a ton about those back-end Solutions at this point but there will be more to share in the future as we as we continue to round out the experience, we think it takes to really make this kind of new be Commerce mobile experience. Jason: [20:22] Awesome so maybe you can help it like paint us a picture like what is the unique value prop of soon like is it live is if e-commerce like is there a particular category focuses on or what's the. Brian: [20:35] Yeah to know it's appreciate you asking so look at the core of what we're trying to do is take the the style of video that is loved by a young consumer set column you know. Gen Z too early young Millennials we can't digitally native consumers what we mean by that that's a buzzword everybody said but we simply mean people that seem to have been born with an iPhone implanted in their hand, or some sort of device and if you go back up to 2007 when the iPhone and these devices launched we're looking at people to kind of get there. Hit their teens or younger in that view I look at you know the way that they navigate and that's kind of our core audience because they've grown up with this fat. Device being their primary form of discovering the world so that's our Target so our goal was to build. [21:23] An experience that would make sense to that to that audience so would be short would be fast could would be personalized. I would include the kinds of voices that they're used to hearing from that they trust and that they find credible. Would give Brands a place that are searching to find a pathway that are working so hard to build there. Their products but are can get caught in the jungle that are the very very large marketplaces would give these younger Brands these Innovative brands of place to meet the consumer and to be discovered and to be seen and to have their whole story told. You know it's one thing to just become a product listing on a. On a massive platform like Amazon or Walmart it's another to be able to have someone who understands the consumer tell your brand story so the value prop is to really build what we think is this entertaining. [22:13] Joyful serendipitous shopping moments where you can just discover Brands when you're when you're on the go we think. In some ways part of what. So wonderful about the e-commerce experience is also what's so difficult about the shopping experience and what I mean by that is e-commerce made it easier than ever to buy something. It also made it very difficult to just go shopping and if you think about the experience we used to love as teenagers by the way that gen Z teenager still allowed which is the notion of wandering a physical location a mall or a Target or pick your brand or. You know any of those physical experiences where you can just wander and things just inspire you and you you may have gone into by something you may have had an idea in mind you may have not had an idea in mind. But it was fun and it was a Pastime and it was, enjoyable just to go shopping digital Works differently digital is great if you know I need I need luggage for my trip to Europe I'm getting a backpack I'm going to take a three months and traveling through Europe. [23:18] You can go to the internet and I'll help you find the best backpack in the most array of choices at the price but if you just. Want to sit back and shop and so our goal was to build a platform where the Serendipity of shopping could come up again you could just thumb if you're standing in line at the. At the Starbucks or if you're standing in line at the store you're standing on the platform in the subway station, or you're sitting in class and you're done listening to the professor and you just want to see what might be in your feed that's relevant to you this could be as fun as opening Tick-Tock or opening Instagram. This would be opening shopping for the joy of. Jason: [23:52] I love that there's a this entrepreneur Julie rain Wainwright who founded real real and I don't know if she actually said this but she's always attributed with his quote the internet solve buying but broke shopping it's I. Brian: [24:06] It's a great quote I've heard I've heard that quote I'm not sure if it's hers or not either but I fully subscribe to and that's and that's the reality and so this is a way to bring it back in a way that we think is relevant to you know this. Young emerging audience who's up who's about to have a lot of spending power. Jason: [24:26] Yeah now I'm curious you've talked about this as a platform and it sounds like it's what I would think of as a sort of two-sided market place that you both have to you know recruit and keep happy a bunch of world-class creators that are creating content and you've got to recruit and keep happy in audience that consumes that content and buys stuff that shows up in the content and my am I thinking about it right in terms of it being a two-sided marketing challenge. Brian: [24:54] Yeah I think I think we've called three-sided because we think he have to keep the consumer happy you have to keep the brands and their Founders happy and then you have to, you know create something unique and special for creators who may or may not work directly for the brand that they're going to create content for, and so our thought process is thinking about all three of those audiences as we build and it's why you know we don't see this as a, you know as a Sprint but is building something that we think will be lasting because we're trying to build something that's going to be relevant and meaningful to all three of those participants in the platform. Will you operate as a marketplace right so we're not buying retail we're not buying inventory in the traditional sense right we're building the destination we're working to drive consumers to the destination we're working to source and find great creative talent that we think can build the right kind of content and then we're looking, and reaching out into the. You know into the Reit into the brand landscape to find Brands and products that we think would do well with this with this audience and so we got all three of those things kind of. You know working at once if that's not easy but sometimes the most rewarding things are difficult. Scot: [26:04] Yeah absolutely the marketplaces are hard because you're kind of building to businesses at once you get kind of the consumer and thus the demand and the supply side it can be. But once the network effects it going it's a great business but sometimes it's hard to kind of kick start them do you feel like you guys are at kind of like that product Market fit or you're still kind of. Experimenting and figuring out or like. Brian: [26:25] Yeah we think you know what we're excited about today is the engagement from the number of brands that have come on our platform has gone much faster than we expected. The consumer You Know download and engagement we're in that that nice stair-step each month each week of downloads, increasing on the platform so we feel that we're moving very strongly towards that you know that market fit place but that's why we say we're in beta right well when we're, one more there will declare that were there and we'll change the even the way that we go to market even more aggressively but we're excited about the early signs both the excitement from creators excitement from from Brands who come on board, and again the excitement from the early consumers who have engaged with us the early adopters and starting to experience the platform and so all of those things right now are very positive and. Giving us a lot of optimism as we think about the future. Scot: [27:25] There's wear it sometimes, great to be in a big organization when you're ready you can say hey we need a little distribution and suddenly you know you can you can turn that funnel on you got to be going to make sure you're ready for it and it sounds like you probably haven't you know you should definitely get out of beta for you do that but then even you know even you know how do you do the shoots the right way and you know, inside the work there's tons of just knowledge around streaming and video quality and I'm sure there's some interesting craters that overlap that would be fun to tap into it even brands that you know I'm sure if you were looking for a brand it's much easier being part of the larger or more brands are going to take your call versus you know Joe's startup LLC. Brian: [28:11] Yeah yeah I would say one of our I think that's well that's well well said one of our advantages right is the reality that for you know, for decades we've been helping small Brands become household names become very large businesses because we understand the power of live we understand the power of video and using it to help. [28:30] You know a Founder commercialize their their story and help it reach and reach an audience and so. For sure that is valuable as we talked to Brands who go hey this isn't you know this isn't just somebody out of there, out of the corner of their garage going hey we've got an idea for the future of video shopping this is you know the the leader in video and live shopping who said hey we're going to build a new platform a new experience for a new audience and, we're going to bring our expertise to video shopping to that to that platform and we're going to help you learn how to do it as a brand we're going to help you learn how to do it as a Creator both of those things have been very important, add helping us you know get to yes as we don't get a lot of NOS as we have conversations with Brands right now we get a lot of people excited, even in this early Journey even recognizing that we're in the beta phase because they believe in the business where you know we're over 300 Brands already interested in on the platform, at this stage and you know we're early on we launched in March. And so it's not been hard to get people excited about the potential here and I think part of that is because they can look to the parent of who's building this, and who's making the investment. Scot: [29:46] Yeah very cool would you say so that made me I'm a huge shark tank junkie and I always love when Laurie's on there because she always has that trump card of like, I can probably get you on HSN and everyone's like who so she could tend to get a good deal so then it made me think are you dealing with Challenger Brands kind of like you know things we people maybe haven't heard of or is this kind of like you know Kate Spade or whoever I don't want to go into details but like more long-term brands that are just kind of looking for a fresh new channel is there. Resonating. Brian: [30:22] Yeah so we have a lot of what we call emerging Brands and we can define those in a couple of ways right so there you know I'm an emerging, might have been around for 10 years or 15 years but they're just very tightly, geographically located maybe they just had a couple of stores and a little direct consumer website but they weren't really propagating their brand through there, back in the emerging and we have several brands that look like that we also have Brands there. Relatively young this could be year 1 year 2 year 3 right and they started as a direct consumer brand and they're looking for other points of distribution and other places to be able to tell their story. [30:58] But we've not preclude ourselves from from other brands that are better known and more, National in nature because again at the end of the day you know where our Focus has been, I'm in the early days is and it's because this is this is an area that works really well and video right or proper products that are problem solution oriented products and, Kelly's are great Brands who innovate and develop some new products that solve a consumer problem those do really well in video right now and if you think about, all the you know Tik Tok made me buy it friends you know so many of those products are built around the idea of hey we've got a new solution, a problem that you have or we've got a new take on solving a problem that has been solved a bunch of other ways but never quite solved this way those are the kinds of products and brands that do really well and we find those both in this emerging space and we also find. You'll also find it in some more established brands. But the focus has really been can we bring consumers content that's interesting to watch because what the product does for a consumer is. Have itself useful and highly valuable and that's if you spend some time on the app you'll see a lot of products, better focused in that in that regard and so you know we've not been exclusionary and by any stretch of the imagination but we do have a lot of young and fun emerging brands with some amazing Founders and some amazing founder stories behind them on plan. Jason: [32:23] That is awesome and Brian a fun fact about Scott like most people watch CNBC for Shark Tank and then they accidentally stay on for for Jim Cramer Scott's the one guy that watches CNBC for Jim Cramer and then accidentally. Brian: [32:37] Technics days I'm free. Scot: [32:38] I watched a shark fresh shark tanks on ABC come on. Jason: [32:41] Yeah. Fair enough Earth but inside not I keep telling Scott Scott keep saying hey we need to get on On Cue be on Shark Tank to get into QVC and I keep telling him that curate retailgeek has great merchants and if you have awesome product you can get in regardless of what whether you know a shark or not. Brian: [33:00] And that you know what that's so true Jason that in the reality is is that again if you have a great product curate wants to hear from you and that's and that's the truth and you know we understand what works well for our audience and we understand what works really well. For the video platform and if you bring it you can find your way there I will tell you we get a lot of submissions and for obvious reasons. But yeah you absolutely could find your way there without getting on Shark Tank although a little bit of notoriety never hurts. Jason: [33:30] Know for sure so I'm curious about a tactical element of soon it seems like you made a conscious decision to natively be a nap and and on the one hand. Like man you look at all the data and mobile apps are where it's at like that the overwhelming majority of all minutes spent on mobile devices are an app's you know the top apps have the best engagement and all this stuff but the flip side is, it's a brutally competitive space and it's like really hard to get people to download the app and then it's really hard to get them to to reuse it like I'm curious did you guys. Like debate about a mobile web experience versus an app and and decide that that's where you needed to be or how is that played out for you. Brian: [34:15] Yeah so we absolutely did they say it was probably one of the one of the bigger conversations right as we thought about our future and our Direction working with my team and and. Our partners to think about hey what's the best way to go forward and build a new shopping you know destination and we certainly researched all the hurdles. As well but we saw all the things that you highlighted in the beginning right the notion that, more time is spent on apps particularly from from the target audience we were going after the engagement is much higher the commitment once you have it as much stronger all of those elements that. This is going to be a heavier lift but it's going to be the right lift for us and. And we have to be committed we know it's going to take time but this is going to be the right lift because inside that app also it just gives you the flexibility to do and create some experiential things that just aren't as as. [35:12] They're just not as intuitive or as functional as they are in a mobile web app. Right so you know I'll give you I'll give you one of the features that we love that's just really hard to do in mobile web but amazing an app so you know part of our vision was to be able to create this window, shopping experience again right to bring the joy back to shopping we're literally as you thumb through things consider each one of those swipes the window, write as if you were walking down your favorite shopping destination and you know there's an amazing product with an amazing Storyteller so instead of being on a mannequin in a fixed window it's by a voice that, you know has some credibility and authority and as they tell you about that but what if you want to see more from that brand well you just swipe left. And you're into that brand store. Or what if you want to love what if you love this soon said what if you love this Creator we call them soon satyrs that's telling you the product and you want to do you want to see more will you just you know tap the screen and up comes all the video content that that person is created, doing that in a mobile app mobile apps just don't have the same kind of tactical functionality that you can build inside of an app I'll be realized, part of this if we were going to build a new experience we needed. [36:22] The flexibility in the capabilities to be able to use everything the mobile device gives to you you know ultimately we don't have haptics in our experience yet we will you know they're all those things that are that are native to the app experience that you know. Is opened up an iPhone and ultimately Android which are not on yet but will be in the future. That we wanted to be able to have access to to give it the richest experience even knowing we'd have some hurdles and getting apps downloaded keeping them on the device and getting people back to him. Jason: [36:52] I got it that totally makes sense another one that comes up a lot in a specially you mentioned it seems like adoptions a little earlier in China so I watched the Chinese Behavior a lot to sort of see a bit it predicts how things will evolve here and it's interesting there are amazing social platforms that had huge engagement that are all pivoting to become shopping platforms right so that's by dance that's we and then there are amazing Commerce platforms like Ali Baba and Team all that are kind of pivoting to become engagement platforms and so that's why you know ding dong live and Ali Baba live and all of these these things like I'm kind of curious do you have a position like in the long run what wins right being a a platform that has a lot of video engagement and adding Commerce to it which in the u.s. I guess that could be. Tick tock on Instagram or is it a platform that really is good at Commerce and adds adds the video engagement and so you know maybe that's that's obviously but Amazon or Walmart and then I assume like The Perfect combo of both of those is of course you guys. Brian: [38:00] Yeah so I'm not trying to sidestep but here's what I'll say, video wins video ends and I'll come back to it and here's a here's why I say that so do I think you know Tick-Tock and Instagram and all those who are building you know shopping experiences into their platform, have an opportunity to win and do conversate for sure do in fact I'll give you an example I often share. With you know Brands and others as I'm eating and it's a very simple question for both you Jason and Scott have you ever bought anything while you were in an airport. From a retailer awesome have you ever gone to the airport have you ever gone to the airport to go shopping. [38:36] Right so the reality is that airports have a purpose right which is they help you get from one place to another and it's a very valuable part of your life experience. But what airports learned is have had a lot of people in my space I'll bet if I put some stores in here for you those people will buy something that is for sure going to be true with these social platforms they have a lot of people in their space. [38:59] If they create opportunities for people to buy people will buy but the purpose for opening Tik-Tok is not to go shopping, and people are finding Pathways there because that's like that's a place where I'm at and I'm learning their shopping there so now I can do this so I know if I'm Atlanta I like Ferragamo I know in the Atlanta airport there's a Ferragamo so I can find my way there. As a as a consumer and make it a point to go there when I'm in airports where I know the brands that I like are at, but that's very different than then going to your favorite neighborhood street or going to your favorite you know mall to go to go shopping and so we think those places exist on the other side you have right you have what's happened in the physical space that's taking place in the digital space right so malls have tried to figure out hey shopping isn't enough to get people here I need restaurants and entertain I need other things that are engaging, and team on everybody else is going to go down that pathway as well and go hey, if I want to keep people here I need I need things that are engaging because consumers are expecting more well-rounded experiences from all the places that they go and so our viewers to say listen if you know let's just build something, that recognizes that that's what the consumer needs and wants and create a place we're going shopping and being engaged and being entertained is, in and of itself the point the experience and we believe there will be space for that for an experience like that but I think I think Commerce is going to happen. [40:25] In all of these spaces if you bring video to them I think it's going to happen on on you know brand own websites as they bring video that's the that's the core of it, and again if you step back and go well gee how much space is there you know retail such a fixed base well that's what we all said. You know 20 years ago when e-commerce showed up like e-commerce can't grow the retail space there's a fixed space it's going to be you know give some take some. At the end of the day retail is just larger as as the platforms and places, have continued to evolve and to explode if you think about the difference between where we are and you know where Asia is and where we see the Western markets I think part of this is understanding that I think Asia is unique in that there. Retail ecosystem you know take China it's just very different. From Mars when you consider the scale their population and how much of that is urbanized versus still you know in more agrarian spaces and so it's not exactly the bear to make the comparison between. [41:25] Those two spaces and you know they have different tastes and different preferences and so I think for us in the u.s. I think part of the difficulty has been we've been trying to apply. A formula from Asia to Western markets versus saying hey what's the formula that's right for Western markets and video. And let's let's take stock of understanding what the Retail Landscape looks like here what the consumer behavior and preference for shopping looks like here and then how do you build something that's around that I think brands are starting to figure that out I think we're, you know we're just at the corner we're probably today where e-commerce was in 2001-2002, right so we're on the verge of exploding but if you remember back in those days there were a lot of brands that we're saying yeah we're not going to need any Commerce site. And and then five years later everybody in the country headed e-commerce site. Scot: [42:17] Yeah that first of all you should have qualified your question I'm pretty sure Jason is gone to airports just to go to the Starbucks. That much of a Starbucks not or are you just like is muscle memory for him he's like I want to Starbucks he just ends up at O'Hare and he's like oh oh I don't have a flight but man this this latte is delicious. The so I started a company Channel advisor andqvc was an early customer of ours and I got to go on that behind the scenes tour where you can watch the production room and it blew my mind as an e-commerce person because it was like this pure intersection of data meet Stevie because you know the talent on are would have a may be mic'd up, and the producers say when you talked about you know how the vest feels they watch this I think it was like orders per second some velocity. And they would tell him to talk more about that and if a product didn't make a certain velocity there like next so it's really so I'm kind of thinking you know can you guys because you're you've got both sides of the marketplace are you giving your creators some really interesting kind of youqvc any HSN informed data on on you know. How how to make a better video and sell more product and that kind of thing or you may be too early in your journey but it seems like you guys Doug be like right in your strike zone. Brian: [43:40] No that's the you know that's part of the secret sauce that's why we're so excited about this space it's taking that learning and absolutely the analytics right that we're putting in place and ultimately the. That algorithms that will drive right the personalization feed and the coaching that's given not just to creators but then ultimately to Brands is all built around enabling their ability to be as effective as possible at producing a video and what works depending on the category so. That's core to what we are doing at Stone is using data to drive decisions around content to drive decisions around. The speeds that ultimately will be will be you know shared with consumers right to create as much likelihood or much potential for success as possible and you know you you hit on the head Scott right part of this and part of what's made. You know curate successful for so long is that what seems very soft. Is very data-intensive and using data to make those decisions and we see that as being one of our core attributes in our core advantages is a boat as we build. Jason: [44:51] That certainly makes sense Brian I'm sad because I know we're running up on time and I have one more topic I want to make sure I get in which is this whole debate of video versus live video and I know you do you think about QVC and there's a lot of scarcity built-in which makes the the live model make a lot of sense and in China a lot of it has scarcity of deals and things in the u.s. I hear a lot of people calling things live that aren't even live and so I'm just curious like what you know do you think it needs to be live or is it a place for both like what how do you guys feel think about the live versus store and play video Commerce. Brian: [45:32] Yeah so we use both at soon so we think live live has a role in the sense of creating excitement creating a bit of scarcity also creating the the Serendipity the moment and the authenticity and organic and credibility of the content most of the content. In our mind is shot or created live meaning we're not trying to do a bunch of takes and a bunch of edits of the work in fact I tell people all the time I said it's part of the magic of one of the longest running show Saturday Night Live it's one of my favorite shows maybe maybe part of your audience loves that show as well as right it's taped in front of a live studio audience and part of what makes that show so engaging. Right is that reality and the fact that there's room for errors or groom for mistakes you know you may see one or two but it just feels so, in the moment we think that matters a lot in the experience but today. I don't know I don't know the facts but I suspect a lot of SNL is watched after the fact. [46:29] But the fact that it was shot in front of a live studio audience is what makes it so engaging so what we think about video we talk about it live here we often mean look what we want this to feel is live like meaning it should feel like you're having a fantastic conversation sometimes it will actually be live. But the vast majority of the content is going to be consumed post life because let's be honest gen Z doesn't really meet anybody for an appointment anymore from a from a watch perspective right they watch things on their own time when it makes sense for them, and it fits into their their life that doesn't take away from the fact that if the offer is big enough, for the products right right they'll show up in force for a live moment and so we believe that you need both in order to. [47:15] To create something that's compelling but for us you know largely what we think matters is creating content that is done by people who really know how to speak, can do it in one take right because you know they're good at what they what they do and can bring that level of Candor to the. To the content and that's that's what we think really will resonate candidly with people of all ages we don't think this is that's just specific to young people that's specific to everybody, we love candidness, we love I think you open the podcast here saying Hey listen if you make a mistake or two we're not going to stop and rerecord and all those things right and you're going to listen part of what makes this so natural is when it's. Captured in the moment we think that's true for video Commerce as well. Jason: [48:00] That I love that that that's a perfect way to sort of describe that the approach it makes perfect sense to me side note the reason we do that on the podcast is because Scott makes so many mistakes that we couldn't possibly go back and fix them all. Scot: [48:15] Hey I think Brian was saying we're influent we're popular influencers that's how I. Jason: [48:19] I feel like he's like as an l and the Jason and Scot show are the two. The two top top tier entertainment vehicles I think that's very fair but Brian I'm super sad to report that we've used up our allotted time this has been a great conversation and we sure appreciate you taking time to talk with us. Brian: [48:39] I appreciate you having me on the show thank you so much guys. Scot: [48:42] Brian if folks want to learn more about your online thoughts or you are you an influencer yourself do you publish somewhere or you just want to encourage them to check out that.

Need housing market predictions? We've got them. Unfortunately, they may not be exactly what you want to hear. While most landlords hope and pray that mortgage rates will head down and the housing market will finally open back up, reality paints a much different picture. With inflation still high and the Fed refusing to budge on rates, we could be in for a wild ride over the next six months. So, what will unfold before the clock strikes midnight at the end of 2023? Stick around and find out! We brought in the heavy hitters for today's episode. J Scott, syndicator and author of numerous best-selling real estate books, but most importantly Real Estate by the Numbers, brings his stoic and scarily accurate take to the podcast. But that's not all. BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench joins us to give his investor, executive, and homeowner opinion on what's happening in the housing market. Of course, Kathy Fettke, multi-decade investor and syndication expert, brings her unique view from booming markets. We'll go over the housing market, inflation, interest rates, unemployment, and the overall state of the economy in this show. From explaining why the Fed will either drop or raise rates this year to examining the impact of a potential recession, then discussing the somewhat cherry-picked stats chosen by the Fed, this episode goes MUCH deeper than real estate, and you could get caught off guard this year if you don't know what's coming. In This Episode We Cover: 2023 housing market predictions and why “things are going to be messed up” for years to come Why mortgage rates could fall (or rise) and what could cause the Fed to move  Unemployment stats and why the “gig economy” could be in danger  False inflation numbers and what will force inflation to drop, then spike, this fall The commercial real estate crash and why multifamily investors could see a profitless next few years  And So Much More!

Mentorship is a critical component of personal and professional growth. A supportive mentor enables mentees to develop critical skills, make better decisions, and achieve their goals faster by providing guidance, perspective, and encouragement along their journey. Furthermore, mentors benefit by expanding their network, reinforcing their knowledge, and deriving satisfaction from contributing to the success of others. Mentorship is a valuable, reciprocal relationship that fosters learning, development, and change for both the mentor and mentee. In the podcast, Scott Miller shares his insight into how mentorship can impact individuals in various aspects of life. He offers personal stories and experiences, highlighting the importance of recognizing the potential mentorship opportunities that exist beyond traditional boundaries. By emphasizing the powerful and transformative effects of mentorship, Miller encourages listeners to actively pursue mentoring relationships that enrich personal and professional lives, and explains the 13 roles mentors play, based on information in his book The Ultimate Guide to Great Mentorship. In this episode: Unveil the importance of mentorship and why anyone can be a mentor. Decode the 13 essential roles of mentors in guiding their mentees. Realize the value of genuine feedback and vulnerability in fostering strong mentor-mentee connections. Examine the lifelong benefits that mentorship can provide for you and your career. Identify how everything from setting boundaries to celebrating matters in the mentor-mentee relationship (and some language to help you along your way!) Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction, Scott Miller is a multi best-selling author, special advisor on thought leadership for the Franklin Covey Company, and a globally celebrated keynote speaker. He has previously been a guest on The Brainy Business podcast to discuss his books Marketing Mess to Brand Success and Management Mess to Leadership Success. In today's episode, he talks about his new book, The Ultimate Guide to Great Mentorship. 00:06:42 - Importance of Mentorship, Mentorship is a key part of companies' employee development plans. However, most people don't know what to do as a mentor. Scott wrote The Ultimate Guide to Great Mentorship to help people become better mentors. The book outlines 13 roles that all mentors can play, which will help them ask better questions, be more patient, and be more thoughtful. 00:10:16 - Informal Mentorship, Scott shares the story of how Bruce Williams, a radio host who has since passed away, became a mentor to him without ever knowing it. This highlights the importance of informal mentorship and how people can redefine what mentorship looks like. For example, by following favorite bloggers or podcasts, those thought leaders can be a mentor to you (even if you never talk to them and they don't know your name). 00:14:21 - The Power of Mentorship, Scott and Melina discuss the impact of mentorship on individuals and society, highlighting the importance of having a framework for effective mentorship. Scott introduces his book, The Ultimate Guide to Great Mentorship, and introduces the 13 roles a mentor can play. 00:17:32 - The 13 Roles of Great Mentorship, Scott discusses the 13 roles a mentor can play outlined in his book, emphasizing that a mentor may not necessarily play all 13 roles and why they need to adapt their role depending on the mentee's situation (you aren't just one “type” of mentor, you need to wear multiple hats during your time as a mentor). He highlights the importance of having an awareness of these roles and how they can be used to support a mentee effectively. 00:21:01 - The Importance of Validation in Mentorship, Scott shares his personal story of being validated by a stranger at a young age, which had a profound impact on his life. He emphasizes the role of the Validator in mentorship and the power of validating a mentee's genius, skill, and talent. He provides tips for how to effectively validate a mentee and how this can be a transition point for them to move towards more effective mindsets. 00:23:05 - Scott's Six-Step Closing Process, Scott introduces his six-step closing process, which includes naming what has been learned from the mentee, validating their genius, and setting them on their way. He emphasizes the importance of taking away something from each mentor session and using it to improve oneself. 00:28:34 - Caution for the Validator, The Validator role in mentoring should be used with care. Rather than validating mentees for small actions, acknowledge their genius, and give them lifelong courage to retrieve it when they need it. 00:32:41 - The Flagger Role, The Flagger is the challenger on steroids, who stops a conversation in its tracks to challenge an idea. Diplomatically flagging issues prevents potential conflict in the future. 00:37:57 - The Boundary Setter, Setting boundaries is an uncomfortable yet essential conversation that every mentor needs to have. Mismatched or unfulfilled expectations cause most conflicts in life, and setting clear boundaries is key to avoiding any potential issues. Scott provides some sample language the listener can use in their own mentoring sessions immediately. 00:41:24 - Honing in on Boundaries, It's important to have a clear understanding of each other's boundaries in mentorship. Starting with an uncomfortable conversation about boundaries can prevent future awkwardness and allow for a more productive relationship. 00:42:53 - Importance of Situational Mentorship, Scott emphasizes the importance of situational mentorship and tailoring conversations to the mentee's needs. He suggests checking out greatmentorship.com for videos and tools, and invites people to connect with him on social media. 00:44:27 - Scott's Impact on Melina, Melina thanks Scott for being a mentor to her, and Scott reflects on how anyone can be a mentor (with or without realizing it). They encourage listeners to reflect on who has impacted their lives and consider sharing their gratitude with them. 00:45:00 - What is Mentorship?, Melina and Scott discuss the meaning of mentorship and how it can be informal and brief. They encourage listeners to reflect on the mentors in their lives and consider sharing their impact with them. 00:46:19 - Reflecting on Impactful Moments, Melina encourages listeners to reflect on small or big moments that were impactful and consider who was part of them. She suggests telling mentors how they have impacted their lives and invites listeners to connect with her and Scott on social media. 00:46:30 - Conclusion, Melina's top insights from the conversation.

Welcome back to the Daily Gratitude Minute. My name is Scott Colby from Say It With Gratitude. I wanted to share with you one of my other interests besides gratitude, and that's hiking. You may not know it, but I'm a hiking guide. I'm also a fitness professional, fitness coach. I help people get in shape. Now, if you think about it, hiking has very similar benefits to gratitude. They both can help your mental wellbeing, and so I love helping people get out in nature and going for a hike. I think it can do a lot for you, not only physically but mentally. Just like I mentioned, I take groups out on hikes. One of my goals in the next year is to help more people get out in nature and hike. I've got a couple things. Uh, on the horizon. Some have already gotten started that I just wanted to share with you. I've got a YouTube channel called the grateful hiker.com, the grateful hiker.com. It's got a few different things, some videos on how to get in shape for hiking. I'll be doing a lot more of those in the upcoming years. It's got some hiking tips and some even, uh, just kind of like vlog style videos of me going on a hike here in the Smoky Mountains, which is near where I live. . And then the other thing that I have going on for next year is helping people get in shape to hike. So if you go to the website, SOFA to summit, S O F A T O S U M M I T, sofa, two summit.com, I've got some free leg exercises and leg workout. that you can download. Uh, and once you download those, you'll be on my email list to get more emails on getting in shape to, to climb mountains and to go for hikes. So I wanted to just offer that to you if you want to, if you're interested in, in getting in shape. And you, your summit doesn't have to be the top of a mountain. uh, it certainly is not everybody's cup of tea. Maybe your summit is you want to be able to walk to, to the end of the driveway, walk around the block, or be able to play with your kids or grandkids. That could be your summit. These exercises and workout will get you in shape for whatever your summit is. I'm designing. In my head to get people in shape to hike a mountain. But again, everybody's mountain is different. So go to sofa to summit.com and download those. And one of my goals coming up in the next couple of weeks is to put together a free 30 day sofa to Summit challenge, a free 30 day sofa to summit challenge, which will be a daily. kind of work out for you to do over the next 30 days. There's gonna be some rest and kind of recovery days, so don't worry you're not gonna do 30 days of intense working out. But if you desire to get in shape, uh, for either a real mountain or just, uh, whatever your summit is. Um, again, go to sofa to summit.com, download the free workouts that I have available now, and then you're gonna be put on the list to get notified when that 30 day challenge will begin. So hope that helps you. Um, if you have any questions, of course, you can email me, Scott Scott colby.com. . I am Scott Colby with Say It With the Gratitude, and this has been your daily gratitude minute. Thank you so much for listening. Cheers.

Welcome back to the Daily Gratitude Minute. This is Scott Colby from Say It With Gratitude. Yesterday I delivered a virtual gratitude workshop to a company and we were talking about connection in the workplace. One statistic says that 61% of employees are lonely and underperforming. And I think it's important to note that loneliness is not the absence of people. It's the absence of connection. So if you think about it, you know, you could be married, you could have children, and you could be lonely if there's not meaningful connection between you and your family members. You could work for a company where you work closely with a group of people. It could be up, you know, over a hundred people, and you can still feel lonely if there's an absence of meaningful connect. So whether we're talking about the workplace or we're talking about your home, loneliness has become a problem. I think it's gotten worse during the pandemic, and it doesn't matter if you are surrounded by people, if there's no connection there. So I really want you to take this message to heart. How do you create meaningful connections? One way, which I've talked about a lot, is to ask meaningful questions. , and that's one of the reasons I created the Grateful Deck so that we could start having deeper conversations and we need to create that space and invite. People to share what they are feeling. A lot of times at work, we don't share our feelings. We check our emotions at the door when we get to work, right? And we can have all these feelings of depression, overwhelm, stress, and anxiety, and our coworkers may never even know that if that's the case, that person that has all those emotions is gonna feel lonely. They're not gonna do a very good job. They're not gonna feel good. and that's gonna cost the company money. So think about how you can create a deeper connection at work. If you go to gratitude toolkit.com, gratitude toolkit.com, you can download all 120 questions from the Grateful Deck and start using it at work or even at home, and create these closer bonds. Team members so that they feel like they belong and that they're heard and that you acknowledge them. So hope that helps. Go to gratitude toolkit.com, download the questions. If I can help in any way, send me an email, Scott Scott colby.com. This has been the Daily Gratitude Minute. Thank you so much for listening. Cheers.

Scott Galloway, NYU professor commonly known as “Prof G,” thinks that America is adrift. Communities are dying, young people are feeling helpless, and wealth is slowly being sucked out of the system to give the ultra-rich even more comforts than before. The average American merely wants to make it—having a house, a family, and maybe an ounce of peace. But with mainstream media violently pointing fingers at one another and the modern worker feeling desolate in the daily grind, what can we do to put this country on the correct course?Scott knows that the game is rigged. He has strong feelings that real estate investors, like many of us, are playing with “cheat codes.” But, that doesn't mean we're doing anything wrong. Scott dives into his personal philosophy on who has taken advantage of this country, who needs the most help, and how a young, aspiring entrepreneur or investor can build wealth, without blindly buying into “sexy” assets.Although Scott likes real estate (and wishes he bought more of it), he cautions young investors to take a step back and be intelligent with their investments. A few right moves when Scott was young allowed him to live the life he has today—but this was through hard work and taking the right action, not waiting for someone else to save him. No matter what age you are, what side of the political spectrum you fall on, or your feelings toward real estate—Scott has words you'll want to hear.In This Episode We Cover:Scott's new book Adrift and why he thinks America's course needs to be correctedThe biggest problems America is facing today and how a specific demographic is rigging the systemThe bias against boys and how young men are left behindHow young people can get ahead and why they should steer clear of “sexy” investmentsFiat money, cryptocurrency, and how the American dollar is quickly losing its valueThe real estate “cheat codes” that any investor can take advantage ofHow YOU can create change in the world that will lead to more equality, friendship, and connectivityAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an Investor-Friendly Real Estate AgentBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets MerchListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceLearn About Real Estate, The Housing Market, and Money Management with The BiggerPockets PodcastsGet More Deals Done with The BiggerPockets Investing ToolsFind a BiggerPockets Real Estate Meetup in Your AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramBook Mentioned in the ShowAdrift by Scott GallowayConnect with Scott:Scott's TwitterSign Up to Scott's NewsletterClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-688Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

India's Tata Group is planning to multiply the number of employees at its electronics factory in southern India that makes iPhone components, adding tens of thousands of workers as part of a push to win more business from Apple, Bloomberg reports. And India's SaaS darling Freshworks is facing a class action lawsuit in the US, for allegedly withholding information about obstacles to its business in the lead-up to its IPO last year. Notes: India's Tata Group is planning to add tens of thousands of women employees at its factory in southern India that makes iPhone components, as part of its efforts to win more business from Apple, according to a Bloomberg report that was carried in Business Standard yesterday. The plant, in the industrial town of Hosur, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, will hire as many as 45,000 women workers within 18 to 24 months as it sets up new production lines, according to the report. The factory, which produces iPhone housings, currently employs about 10,000 workers, most of them women, according to the report. A senior Microsoft executive said yesterday that thousands of businesses will fail to meet pledges to combat climate change unless they start training employees on sustainability. "We have to move very quickly to start to bring our emissions down, and the ultimate bottleneck is the supply of skilled people," Microsoft's President Brad Smith told Reuters, ahead of a report the company released. The report is based on a study by Microsoft and Boston Consulting Group, which found that many corporate environmental leaders, about 68 percent, in fact, were internal hires whose team members lacked sustainability-related degrees more often than not. The findings primarily stemmed from interviews and surveys with Microsoft and eight other large companies in sectors such as finance and consumer goods, according to Reuters. Freshworks, India's first SaaS company to list on the Nasdaq, is facing a class action lawsuit in the US that says the company knew its business was facing “obstacles” but withheld that information leading up to its IPO last year. Scott+Scott, which describes itself as an international shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, has filed a securities class action lawsuit against Freshworks and some of its directors and officers, and the underwriters of the company's September 2021 listing, according to a press release on Nov. 1. The firm is asking people who purchased Freshworks' common stock to get in touch and join the class action. According to the complaint filed in the US District of California, Northern District and captioned Sundaram v. Freshworks, the company's IPO documents were false and misleading and omitted to state that, at the time of the offering, the Company's business had encountered obstacles. Byju's, India's most valued unicorn that is haemorrhaging money and sacking staff, has initiated discussions to raise $250-300 million from private equity group TPG to capitalise the business further, Economic Times reports, citing people aware of the discussions. The company recently raised $250 million from existing investors, including Qatar Investment Authority and Tiger Global.

You're here to buy your first rental property. This is the Real Estate Rookie Podcast, and as a rookie, where should you start? Most new real estate investors think that the steps to buying a rental property are simple—find an agent, find a property, buy the property. And although that could buy you a rental property, the chances of you becoming successful are very low. Real estate investing requires much more than just purchasing a property if you're trying to build generational wealth, financial freedom, and a life that operates on your schedule.It shouldn't be surprising that the CEO of a company like BiggerPockets is someone who took the slow, yet highly successful route. No raising money on his first deal, no buying multimillion-dollar apartment complexes, no giant yacht, and no private planes. Scott Trench is the epitome of the “grind until you shine” real estate investor. Starting with little-to-no savings, he was able to work his way up to his first rental, his second, and now his thirteenth.To celebrate the release of the updated version of his wildly popular book, Set for Life, Scott has created a ten-step checklist that any new investor should use to get their first real estate investment. These steps were specifically designed for you to not just get one rental, but many more following your first purchase. These are the exact steps Scott took to reach financial freedom in under ten years, and if you follow them as well, you might be able to do it faster.In This Episode We CoverThe ten steps to becoming a successful real estate investor (even if you have no experience)Frugality and its impact on how you invest and grow your wealth over timeCalculating your dollar per hour cost and choosing whether or not to outsource workThe four levers of wealth creation and how to pull them all for fast-paced wealth buildingHow Scott went from entry-level worker to CEO of BiggerPockets in under ten yearsBuilding your “investor ability” so you can make smarter decisions fasterAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowAshley's InstagramTony's InstagramBiggerPocketsReal Estate Rookie PodcastReal Estate Rookie Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsPodcast Guest Onboarding FormBiggerPockets BookstoreThe BiggerPockets Money PodcastDish NetworkThe Real Estate PodcastJoshua Dorkin's WebsiteBrandon Turner's InstagramDave Visaya's WebsiteMr. Money MustacheAirbnbVrboMindy Jensen's InstagramFrom 400 Credit Score to Making $17,000/Month in Passive IncomeBiggerPockets BootcampsFREDBiggerPockets CalculatorsBuildiumConnect with Scott:Scott's BiggerPockets ProfileCheck out the full show notes here: https://biggerpockets.com/blog/rookie-200Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

"On the outside, everything looked great, job, car, relationship, pets, lots of friends, a business. Alcoholism was a subtle foe in my life that ate at me in snack-size bites. My life didn't go up in flames by any means but one day I woke up and realized there was nothing left for my alcoholism to eat- I was spiritually and emotionally bankrupt, and in some ways, that was worse than losing all the things I had on the outside. I was depleted and completely disconnected from the source. The relationships I had were many but most of them had no substance. I was deeply self-absorbed and so good at convincing myself I was okay that I no longer trusted the eyes looking at me in the mirror. I found my home group (Harmony Group in Ocean Beach) soon after June 13, 2021, when I hit my bottom, and I've been a regular attendee ever since. I have service commitments and meet with a sponsor weekly to work the steps. I'm still new on this journey but the change in me is evident. Before I got sober my business was struggling, I was in a job I hated, and my relationship was hanging by a thread. In a few days, I will celebrate 10 months of sobriety and I owe everything I am becoming to Alcoholics Anonymous."   View YouTube Video Here  https://youtu.be/Isjee2crL9A   Kacey Mull's Links Website: https://www.yourspiritrising.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourspirityogi/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kaceybradley1231   Scott H Silverman's Happy Hour (Podcast and Personal) Cell Number 619-993-2738 Linktree:  https://pos.li/2jp89q  Email, Scott  Scott@yourcrisiscoach.com

There was a weird moment there when I was yelling Ali Baba, and he was looking at me through his dreads with like one gleaming eyes. And it was like, there was a point of madness between us. He was like, looking at me like, is this guy really fucking, this pumped up right now?Yeah. Oh, what's up,right? Yeah. What's up Ali taking care of visuals. Ali's on it. Ali, the calm, his camera, man. This side of the Mississippi, all he's going to have to give a little bit of a training session for he leaves. Oh no, we got other cameras are going to take on the handle that I don't know. But have you ever done meditation Ali?Yeah, like I feel like you're a guy that could really get into like some Zen. It wouldn't be as hard. Right, right. Like, uh, like if you went to a silent retreat, he'd be like, cool. Yeah. Most definitely. I try to meditate every day. What, what, what kind of meditation do you do? What kind of meditation? I do. Uh, you were in a court room, they would already found you guilty.Can you repeat the question? Like that's the, that's the winner? Well, I just like try just to focus on my breathing and try not to think. I try to just like, hear my surroundings, but it's kind of hard. Cause like my mind is like racing. Yeah. That's why I don't talk. I just think right. Really well. Yeah. You see all this stuff, he's doing all the creative stuff he does.I would imagine that his, his, he is probably moving at a lot higher pace. Are you? Yup. I have a older brother, but I don't live with him. Like I grew up with my mom only. Ah, that's why I thought you were only child. Cause you said you grew up with your mom only. Well. My brother's a lot older than me. So it's almost like you're an only child.Yeah. But you're really not only there's. Yeah. Like I never like lived with him. Right. Who did he take you out to throw the ball around and stuff? My imaginary friend. What was his dog? Kitty? I kidding. Sean had an imaginary friend. I did. Pre-launch he still does chores. Listen, chips is my imagine, dude, Shawn, Shawn told me, right.He's like, come dressed up as far till next time he might start crying. You see that? Sean told me he sent a thing out and he's like, I was telling him, what was it? You were telling you son, Kuwait, about your imaginary. Uh, go ahead. Well, I don't, I don't remember this conversation. He said, he's telling his son coined about his imaginary friend and then in quiet, you know, quits five, so quits, like whatever, you know, blah, blah, blah.You know, but then later Shawn's like, I reflected on that and I just thought, man, that just sounds so sad. Do you remember saying that? No, but it does sound sad to be telling your son about a friend that's not actually there. It's got us all sad, sad. I mean, I've watched a lot of like sitcoms and in the sitcoms, the psychiatrists were always trying to tell the little kid, it gets normal to have like an imaginary.Oh, don't even worry about it. I think you only have an imaginary friend out of necessity cause there's nothing really. Yeah. What's your take on that shorts? I don't know. I mean, I think an imaginary friend could just be, you know, somebody's creative, uh, Abilities like showing at a young age and just kinda having that.I dunno. I guess he can be sad. My mom said that I would just blame shit on the imaginary friend. Right. That's like going to have a scapegoat, you know, built in, but to see that kind of makes sense, though, that shows your devious creative nature, but you would do fucked up shit and then you will blame some imaginary.That's not that sad, bro. Right. In fact, I invent this motherfucker to take the heat, right. Like on family circus when they had that little ghost kid named not me. And they just blame that shit on that. Right. So you blamed it on a California highway patrol officer. That's kind of weird shit. Yeah. The cool one we had, I guess.So that's crazy now that I think about it, I don't actually remember it. My mom tells me that, oh, well then maybe. You don't remember having the imaginary friend? No, I don't think I ever had an imaginary friend. I think when I was a kid though, I fucking lied my ass off, bro. I was lying from sun up to sun fucking down, bro.I mean, I remember being in the backyard at our house and all the kids be around. And I remember somehow we started talking about the devil. I don't know. And I was telling stories like, oh yeah, I saw the devil last night, came in my room. I said, devil, what are you doing? I said, get the fuck on out. And the devil left, he wanted to take my soul though.He was asking, I was like, Hmm, I almost signed on the dotted line. And all this shit was made up and other kids were like, really? I'm like, man, would I be lying to you? Yeah, that was what happened. I have a fucking lion bro. That's crazy Schwartz. Did you have an imagination? No. No imaginary friends though.Yeah. I think that's crazy, but I did see paunch all the time as a kid growing up, you did just to see the guy in fucking seafood, broiler and bed bath and beyond. I swear to God, man. I used to run into that motherfucker. Like he was following me, Eric Estrada, Erik Estrada. What was he buying at? Bed bath and beyond like Cole sided pillow.I don't even know, man. Those were back in the, uh, the early bed bath and beyond days, huge chips. Oh, yeah, no, no, no. Yeah. Paunch and baker. Right? Wait a minute. How old are you bro? He's 42. Oh, okay. I thought you were younger than that. Everybody. I know. Everybody thinks he's like fucking 34 or something. Yeah.Okay. Yeah. You're in there. Yeah. No, I, I remember Chip's come on, man. You have an imaginary friend. The only time I have like an imaginary friend is when I've been up too many days on that. Got a lot of friends. I remember long after the, the, the, I was deep in the addiction. The kids were no longer staying with me.The girls were gone. I'd been in my house by myself for a while already tweaking. Yeah. And I would after maybe like, you know, somewhere in that, like four to six day of no sleep, I'd be having conversations in my house with my kids. Wow. And with like maybe jewelry, shall I got to be I'm in conversations.And we would constantly, when they were there in real life, I would have these conversations from room to room. Yo, you need to do that. All right. Get the kids ready. I left the front door open, right of right. I would be doing this hi thinking they were all in the house with me still until I would come to realize snap out and be like, dude, I've been talking for the last two hours and none of them are here.What's alone. What's the realization when you snap out of it. So bomber is like how he said, it's kind of sad. Like I asked him, describe his son. It's that same type of feeling like, damn, I'm 40 something. High math in a home. I'm about to lose tweaking out. I can't stop using this shit. Fuck. And I'm trying to relive this shit.That's the longest. But it's like it's embedded my fucking default goes there. Crazy man, crazy drug. You know, when I was at your head up, man, when I was a kid growing up, I think I might've. I was telling Schwartz about this the other day. I never, I loved the bad dudes. I loved the villains. And when it came to like star wars, I wanted to be Darth Vader and I wanted to beat our Vader over Luke Skywalker.Cause I was like, Luke, Skywalker's a punk. He's got raggedy ass clothes. He's crying all the time. He's like asking for help from everybody, but fucking Darth Vader could fucking just pinch the air and choke your shit from across the room. And I wanted to do that. And then, then like, I'm like thinking about this show and I'm like, maybe this is like part of that weird, like, you know, dark side of me that wants to fucking fuck with people and fucking de LA it's like that Vader shit coming out, like living out that fantasy here on the show, the sadistic one.And dude, I used to want to be a vampire ghost growing up and I didn't want to be no nice vampire. And it wasn't about drinking blood. I mean, I knew that came with it, but I wanted it to be fucking Dracula. That dude was cool, man. He had fucking he's oh, he's wearing a tuxedo. Yeah, fucking medallion and a Cape.And he fucking bitches. Oh. Be like looking at me like, oh my child coming to me and they would just be like, they couldn't stop. He's immortal, immortal. He's strong as fuck. Strong fly, fly. It's a superhero, right? I'm not feel like there's a relationship between Darth Vader and the vampire, like Jakiela and Darth Vader are maybe cut from the same clot.Yeah. They both have capes, you know, he got, uh, we got, we got an imaginary friend. Yeah. We do have an imaginary friend. We got a guy who might have imaginary friends running through his brain right about now. Right, right. Before the, uh, world war three eroded, uh, exploded. We were trying to do a show on Antonio brown.Yeah, we were. Can we, can we introduce our imaginary friend? Oh man. Right. All right. All right. I forgot about that. My bad. All right. So what's the right intro song for, Hey, Zeus. Jesus walks. He's got a Tupac poster in the background. I know. No, I like where a Schwartz was going here. Where are you going? He's going here.Jesus walks. Okay.Hold on. Let me fix it. We'll edit this. No, definitely getting a copyright fucking thing for this Harleyladies and gentlemen known internationally as Instagram. Jesus saving all digital soul one at a time. A man who needs no introduction. A man who is the second coming of the metaverse. Oh boy. Hey Zeus. Jesus Instagram. Welcome to the show. Yeah, you got nice teeth, bro. How come your ketones man? He's got fucking nice fucking teeth partner.I wish I had them. I can't see from here because Shawn's blocking. I wish I grew up looks at what's going on there. How much man? What's up. Hurry up and get, get home from work. What was the w w you were hurrying up to get on the show? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because I didn't want to do it in the car. Why not?Because I didn't, I probably would have a best signal. Like I did last time when I was, was on it. So what kind of remind everybody? What kind of work do you do on a day job? Uh, merchandise. And in what way? I, I worked for Coca-Cola, so I merchandise all this stuff and throw it on the shelf. So I give the gloats like today I had 600 cases at Walmart and then two other stores, when nothing, the other stores, I just had a much nice, like, like just work, the stuff that was in the back.Right. So you show up at Walmart now, what time would you show up? All right. I gotta be there at five in the morning, so I leave my house. I'll work in the valley. So it takes about 30 minutes to get. 30 40 minutes actually. And, uh, so I gotta be there at five so I can get it by like 3, 3 45 in the morning.Yeah. And then when you're there and so what you're arranging the Coca-Cola and everything on the shelves. Yeah. So I put all this stuff on the shelves. Did you have to go pick it up and drive it over? No. So, so we have three different periods. So we have salesmen that go into the store and, uh, bring in, uh, see what we need.And then we got truck drivers. So the truck driver brings me, this brings me this stuff and he drops it off and I work in kind of creatures. Do you see walking around Walmart inside of like 4 35 in the morning, all ties it all types of creatures. Right? Go ahead. Obviously people stealing shit all the time in front of me.I to watch it. Yeah. Like, what do they do? They just take the stuff and put it down their pants. Yeah. Well they down their pants down in their, in their, in their, uh, in their, uh, persons, whoever, you know, if it's a woman uppers guys down their pants or self scan, you know what I mean? The self scan sheet.Right? Yeah. And they'll, they'll get expensive shit. And then I'm at Walmart. Yeah. Walmart. Yeah. So then they track that they, the people think they're not watching them. You know how they're watching it to that little phone scene if you're scanning everything. Yeah. So they catch them and they're like, oh no, I didn't.I didn't, you know, I scanned it. I know I scanned it. And then they be like, uh, they'll buy the food. Right. They'll try to buy the food and then sneak in like DVDs or whatever. And they, and then they, I saw one guy the other day was telling, saying all I. I switched my wallet and I put a different card. I know this card had money, but I forgot my other wallet.I did it last night and he just kept, you know, just making the blazers as the, as he went. What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen. Anyone steal, like, yeah. Like, was there a big thing? Like someone tried to steal like a toilet seat? No, but I seen, I seen fools, uh, jump on a bicycle. You know how they have there's so bicycles there, right?The shit. Yeah. Right out the front door.I seen that as new, full, still TVs and they can't do nothing. They can't, they can't do nothing to them. What is. Yeah, cause they don't want to get sued. I used to steal shit from Walmart. Did you want to ask you? When I, when I lived in Odessa, Texas, man, I used to walk in, they had one of those super Walmarts, like it was fucking gigantic and I would walk in one side and I would grab, they had Marlboro 20 fives.They had 25 cigarettes in a pack and I would grab to walk out the other door. It was crazy, man. I also stole a lot of gas out there. Right. Because they just, you know, unlike out here where they stopped turning on the pumps before you pay all the pumps are active. I used to work at Walmart. Yup. I used to work at Walmart and my undergrad stocking shelves, homie stocking shelves with a box cutter on my hip.Working. And I was like 18, right? Like I said, I'm going to get myself a real job, you know? And I walked in, I went through the interview process and it was crazy. Cause it was Walmart. But like they put me through some fucking, there was like a three-level interview. I'm like, isn't this the government. I was like, this is Walmart, right?Like what are you doing? I'm in college. That should just be the United States. They're like, Hey. And they had like a questionnaire that you had to bubble it in to see if you had the right psychological makeup to work at Walmart. Right. And w at one point and listen, this is true stuff. Make a logical makeup to work.Your Walmart. Can't be too smart to be in there. I listened to it. So I was bubbling it all in. Right. And it was this one class I'll never forget. As long as all that. There's a question that says getting ahead and success depends on who, you know, strongly agreed that dah, dah, dah, dah. Right. So I bubble in strongly agree.Cause I'm like, yeah, that makes sense. So the fucking manager who is like one of these guys with like a tie and a shirt, right? It's a short sleeve shirt. The one that you did when you buy the shirt, the tie comes with it. It's they get all a match. And he sits me down with his little cup of coffee in the McDonald section of the fucking Walmart, the fucking hammer.Uh, he had some questions. Yeah. We ain't going to let just anybody come in here. So we goes down and I'm passing it all. Then he gets to that question. Right. And he goes, what do you mean that your success depends on who, you know, do you believe in nepotism or favoritism? And I looked at him and I was like, no, man, because.Who you know, is in your network. And there's lots of different opportunities that can happen if you utilize and face the people that you know, and use them the right way. And he was like, he like stroked his mustache. He's like good ads. And I was there and I was stocking dude. And I'll tell you, there was a hot chick up in there, bro.I won't say her name, but man, she was hot. Fucking Venezuelan is Wayland. And I was in there bro, spending my pay, check on McDonald's food and trying to hit that. Um, but anyway, yeah, so I worked at Walmart, man. I'm proud to say it. Biggest parking lot I've ever seen. Um, Hey Zeus, uh, do you get, do you drink soda?No. No. I'll drink energy drinks. You do, but that's not six. Like you do. Hey, he's off. I'm off. I'm on like two. Oh, yeah, that's the guy you're off for this stop. Well, I just want to start again, Mr. And Mrs. Earbuds, I think you guys need to know that, Hey, Zeus works a regular job. He does his thing, and then he puts extra for the show for the hard luck show.He crafts every post you see on Instagram, that is the work and delicacy and forthrightness and the golden touch of Instagram. Jesus, right? Yeah. That would be something because it could say, oh, but you know, he's single guys working two jobs. No, he's got family. So on top of all that first and foremost, he's a husband and a father.Right? Get that. You guys, this guy's doing more before 10:00 AM, then most of you guys will get done in a full year. That's a hundred percent correct. And not only that, he's the, uh, unofficial sheriff of the hard luck show. Yes, sir. Right? Anybody's fucking biting. Anyone's fucking doing this, that and the other thing.Oh, Hey, Zeus is right on him, bro. He's like, you know what? I see a biter he's over there. You guys ought to take a look at that, right? Hey Seuss. Where does that come from? Oh, just pay attention. I know I, you my, no, no. I was just, I was just still listening to what you're saying. I'm not just pay attention to see who's talking shit.So I'm like, fuck. These fools asked if I started talking shit and I asked you guys me get. Right, right. My name is going to fuck with you. Yeah. We don't even play that arguing shit. Right? All your she'll get deleted and blocked. Right. I don't even allow somebody to say something halfway funky that could be perceived as something and your ass is done.So watch what you say. One nice comments only. Right? So, Hey Zeus, tell us about your process and be honest, dude. Don't I know you're loyal to the show and we love that about you, but you're already in the inner sanctum. So you can be you brother, but there's like, you got to make a post three times a week, right?Is it, is it difficult? What happens? What's your process? Um, it started getting a little easier now that I'm starting. I, when I watched videos, I tried to watch videos not to see work. It helps. To make them look a little better. Right? You hear that? People he'll go and he'll watch videos. Did you fucking see?I'm just saying all right. All right. That's good. And then, Hey Zeus, do you ever know? Because sometimes I know we run through our day and it's like a Tuesday and something's got to drop on a Wednesday and it's like, Tuesday, 8:00 PM. You got to get up early and we haven't hit you with either the show copy or the pictures.Do you ever think like, man motherfucker, I gotta go to sleep, like hurry up. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Sometimes I do trauma. Yeah, my . I need to get the shit done. So I got to get up early. He's like where the fuck's lucky I'll come in and prove this thing. Right? There's a whole process. And by the way, we moved it into slack in a sauna.I'm gonna tell you what a standout guy. Hey, Zeus's right. We put it all in there and I'm like, Hey Zeus, we're going to throw the show copy in there when it dah, dah, dah. And then he's off his big Lux on slack yet. And I'm like, well, Schwartz is going to put them on there. And then Hayes was just like, listen until a big Lux is in slack.I'm still gonna put it on the tech so he can see it. I was like, all right, bet. Right. Yeah. Hey, so what does your wife think about your participation in the show? Is she for it? Did she like, dude, you, you know, what the fuck are you doing now? She likes it. She thinks it's cool. Does she listen to the show? I, every once in a while, not too, not too often.Not like, like I do, I listen to every episode. Right. How did that, w what is it about the show that got you hooked into it so much? Um, all the, cause the first thing I heard was I heard a step on Oreos name and that's what the very first episode, and that's what got me hooked onto it. Right. But then why didn't you run away?Like, why didn't you like listen to three more episodes and be like, I'm getting the fuck out. No, cause it was dope. I liked what you guys were doing. And then it started getting a lucky story. And then, uh, when you guys started and then went left, key showed up that food, that food. That was funny. Yeah. Do you have a theory on, on where Lipkey is or what's going on?Uh, going through a midlife crisis, I've tried to hit him up and he ignoring me. He must be still angry that wouldn't make a Instagram post. Hey, you see, you see everything panned out though. Yeah. You said you didn't need to make that post. That's telling them to slow the fuck down. See that's how cool Hey Zeus is, is he's like, listen, I got to make sure that, you know, the show is part of this and dah, dah, dah, dah.Right. And that was good. Um, and you know, and maybe you can talk to Sean. There's a hidden episode. Uh, ghost episode, there's an actual ghost episode Schwartz. Is there really? Yeah, there is. There was an episode where, um, Hey, zoos talks about certain things and we go into real things and look at Shawn's look, Sean, please.Why are you looking at me? So intensely, wonder what you're gonna say you are, aren't you the motherfucker. And the thing is, is, uh, it was so over the top, what went on that actually Sean told me like, For future generations. And we might not want to put that out. Do you remember that? No. Why do you never remember it?You don't remember? Do you remember that Hayes? Who's told us that his sister-in-law oh yeah. Yeah. Steve is out. Remember he has a five-year-old son named Kuwait. Ooh. Remember that? No, but he remembers the imaginary friend, but you tell me what it needs to be reminded. He's married. He has a son. You telling me what the show is about.And then I remember it. You remember that? And what was your counsel to us? Your counsel? Oh, blue eyes. Uh, yeah, it was insensitive. Yeah. Listen, we have a show that's out there in the ether and like, Hey, this is like, Hey man, I was on the show. We had a show where the fuck is that show. And I'm like, I don't know.Hey juice. Did you think that what we talked about was insensitive or what did you think. Maybe a little, but, uh, just cause, cause I, I mean, I, I liked him, so I don't try to, like, I'm not trying to like doggy dinner or, you know, I'm not trying to talk shit on there. Oh, blue eyes or the no, no, no, no, my sister-in-law right.No. And not to think that, um, that I have no anything because I'm not like that. I like them. They're cool people, you know? And then I don't care that what she did, you know? Right. It's the same person to me. That's right. Oh yeah. It is. No one knows what you're talking about and I can't even tell if it's better, we leave it like that.Is it? Yep. Okay. Well, we got the, the word on high. It's better to leave it like that. Is there any time? Um, so you listened to the early shows. Have we changed that all on the show hinges? Have you changed. I remember the night. Let me just say this real quick. Before you say that, I didn't want to say I'm looking at it right now.I remember the night that I was sitting in a parking lot in Santa Monica and I had called him back to talk about him. And this is before I told you I got, I think I have a guy that can help us with the posts. And we went back and forth with like left a messages. And so finally I was going to have a phone call with, Hey, Seuss to ask him, this is what I need.Are you even down to do something like this, right? Yeah. And can you move that thing so I can see, Hey Suzy. Thanks. Pardon? Um, so a sous love fucking eyes in the backup liquor store right across from California chicken. Wilsher Santa Monica, but that little liquor store. Hey bro, I got you on your, like, you were like.Oh, oh, I asked her, I said, I thought he was going to be like, what the fuck? But he's like, what really, really? Oh yeah. I'd be honored. Oh shit. Yeah. I want to do that, you know, and I asked him and I remember getting off the phone and telling you, man, I really think, you know, this guy, he might not know all the technical stuff yet, but he's really like, I think he's devoted.And he, and he cares about the show. And man, that was already, how long ago was that? Two years now. Two years. Yes. I think in the summer, this coming summer, it will be two years. A year and a half ago. Yeah. He came down when we had the show in the other office, when we left, he came through. You think about how long ago.Yes. Yeah. I saw those videos of him getting his book signed. Right. That thing might've gone up in value since left. He hit his midlife crisis.Um, so what w okay, so about how did you find out about Hayes's Steve? Hey, Susan was following in it and he commented on the show and he was like doing little reposts of our show with little, like, uh, Motion graphics and stuff like that. You can repost our show up with all sorts of cool shit. And I was like, damn, if he could do this for our posts or anything close to it, be great.Right. Hey, are you trying out, like, did you kind of know in the back of your mind that if you threw out some artsy fartsy shit that we might pick it up? No, I just thought I, I just liked the show and I thought it was dope. So I just did it cause I liked to show so other people here, even if they, it's not like I have a big following, you know, like I was reposting his reposts of the show.Right. Because there was all sorts of like cool, funny shit. And I'm like, wow, man, this guy really takes time to repost our show. This ain't quick or easy. He does all this different shit. Right. Wonder how he does it. And, and it was kind of showing me that he was, he really liked the show. And so maybe art art is artistic or creative forces flow in his family.Cause your brother's kind of an artist. Right. Yeah, he's a tattoo artist. He's actually, he's actually watching the show. He's just listening to you, right? Is he right? Right here, right on man. He sounded his brother. Make sure you don't say anything wrong. Yeah. I told him how to mute himself where he's going to have people find that tattoo.Your tattoo brother. How you find him on, um, Hey, I'm here yourself. Oh, unmute yourself. Hey, how did they find your tattoo brother on Instagram? Yeah, but like what is this? Okay. Can you go see her? Yeah. Espinosa. Hey, Hey, self-made tattoos. Self-made tattoos. Hey Augie. Uh, do you have any, uh, since you're an artist, are you the older brother or the younger.Okay. From a young man's perspective to this old dog, that's holding up the phone right now.

He's making you guys look good. Yeah, that's right. Straight right on. Um, so Hey Zeus, how have you seen the show developed over the time that you've been listening? Um, however, um, well, yeah, from a perspective from you, we want to hear kind of from somebody who's not here in the recordings every week, right?Your perspective, because you're still in this yet you sit a different place in a different state, in a different state. How, how has it changed or what's happening with the show and what are some things you can share with us? Some insights you've had over the last year now? I think, I think it's gotten even better than what it was like.It was always good. You know, that's why I was hooked on to it, but I just think, I think you guys been doing a lot more like dope. The only thing I wish I was, I wish there were a little longer that's it. But yeah. Do you do, does anyone in your family has listened to the show and they don't like it?They're like, fuck that show. No, cause it's just me. It was just me and my brother to listen. And then the family cause my parents, you know, they, they don't, they don't listen to podcasts, but your wife, does she ever say those guys are sexist? No. She, she likes actually listening to you when you do your lawyer.Really like, yeah. She likes listening to you talk, uh, talking to your lawyer stuff. I remember I'll remember that one episode. When you guys did you guys, there was an opening, I think, uh, we shop and you called out that security and security guy. Remember that guy? I do. Yeah. Sean was there and then you were talking shit to him.Cause he thought he knew at all. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Yeah. She, she likes to hear your opinions on shit like that at Schwartz. Does your wife, when she listens to the show and I know she likes some of it and I know she probably doesn't. Is there anything that she doesn't like, she's not feeling, I dunno.Yeah. Any, any, any wrong word, man. I got a, I hear about it, but she said she's a listener. Um, I don't know, man, I gotta be honest with you. I kinda tune it out because I just don't want to, I just don't want to hear it, man. I do that. I do that sometimes with my wife. Like sometimes I know my wife is going to say certain things, right.And I know I can't fight it. So I'll be like, I'll just sit there and I'll be practicing like an inner peace. I'll be like, I just won't engage. Okay. You know what? This is just a natural force, like a waterfall. It's just a bubbling Brook and I'll just stand there and just be like, huh? Yeah, yeah. You're right.Yeah. I get women that there's women that probably isn't show that hate my guts. They know exactly where I stand. I texted in. One of them did and say gave you a, uh, who was that? I mean, I can't say who it was, but I recall somebody and you were like, oh mother fucking cry, baby. But I used to go out. CRO really somebody called you or she sent you a text call and texting, bothering me, crying, Jesus, immediates crying all the time.I get a call every fucking couple of years from this idiot lying about their life. Anyways. Hopefully I never hear from this human being again. But yeah, I'm saying that because some, some of those women out there know exactly where I stand. Go ahead. Blue eyes, blue eyes. Has your wife ever, never listened to the show?Not one episode ever. She knows where you're at on Saturday, right? She does believe that there is a podcast, right? He knows this. There was a podcast. As a matter of fact, when we were at Christmas, my, uh, father John Ritter, Scott Scott was like, oh, you know, they talk about you on the show sometimes to do.And she's talking about me on the show. It's just the regular stuff like that. She doesn't listen to the show. I would prefer my wife not listen to the show. I mean, she listened to this better. That's great. That's great. I wouldn't want my wife listening, speak, speaking your show. My wife listens to the show and sometimes I get a thumbs up and sometimes we get a thumbs up the asshole.Right. But I just take it. I'm like whatever. And you know what she got on there. And um, what were we just talking about? Where she listened to the, oh, she was the one though. She listens to the show and she gives a lot of suggestions. Right? She's the one that says, Hey, your wife was on the show. What show?Oh, oh, it's funny. You asked that. What do you mean? Listen, yesterday two days ago, my wife and I did a podcast today. We were asked by this company called what's up prenup. Now look at Schwartz. That's dope. Listen, Schwartz. You see what just happened there? And I'm not doing this to make fun of you at all.Right. Much respect, but why is that funny? Hayes's why? Why is it funny? Cause he was giving. Yeah, I'm always giving a shit this time. I'm not giving him shit, but this time, but short. Yeah. So you see how Sean and I had a conversation off the air, right? Yeah. And we talked about a podcast and then you said your wife was just on a thing and I picked up, oh, okay.He's throwing to me that we should probably talk about, I wasn't actually I was actually talking about your wife was on this potluck. Yeah. Oh, to set up the prodo episode right now, misread. No I did. But you were signaling something wrong. Listen, I'm going to it. Now you were on this. You want to talk about the podcast listeners don't know is that there's all sorts of signaling preempted strikes.Like there's all these different dynamics and skin NAMIC static going on in this room that are invisible to the naked eye. If you listen, though, you can hear the tones chain up and down like a dog. Can, you can direct them without saying anything right now. Now, listen, everybody. I'm not to single anybody out it like a normal laugh, but it was, oh, no, it wasn't.But the thing is, and I'm not gonna signal this out to anybody, but let's, let's just let. I read something off a Sean, it wasn't correct, but I read it just the same, but I was running with it right. To drive the show, some fucking energy that's right. Put some goddamn energy in the show. All right. And when it turns out that I'm wrong, right?I threw it back to Sean. I had no guarantee. He fucking, he, he wasn't trying to, but he told me, Nope, you're wrong. I was talking about this. Now we got two topics set up that we can go to. That's how to fucking conversations work, especially microphone magic. Well, that's how you make it sound real because it is real.And two is, that's how you keep the energy and the material going. So I'm going to put it to you. Oh, blue eyes. Who, which one do you want to do? Don't ask me, decide. Do you want to go prodo? I want you to talk about the podcast first and then we'll go into the, my, my part. Okay. See that. So pretty quick. Go ahead.What happened to murder machine part two, we never did it. We never fucking did it. We did. No. I was listening to it the other day and I was like, I'm wondering what happened to Tam. All right. All right. So for the dynamics in the room, when Steve looks over at Schwartz and then nods his head like that, that means, okay.That's when we got put on the list, right? Thank you. Did I read that right? Yes, sir. So my wife and I got pulled on a podcast. Okay. So it's called hello prenup, which is an international company that does like, not international national, what they do. They write, they help people write prenups for people that are about to get married.Okay. Right. That was a, that was an old blue eyes. You guys do prenups. Yeah, we do. We, in fact, no, you were asking if they did a prenup, right. If you do a prenup who? My wife and I. No, we did not ask him. Was that what you were asking? So why would they come to you guys to do for prenups though? Because we're right, right.Well, we're attorneys. When we do specialize in that we do a lot of family law. We do a lot of probate stuff. So sometimes companies come to us to review the contracts, to give the sign off. Okay. Hello. Hello, prenup. In fact, when I was on shark tank, this company blew up and we're one of the people that helps them evaluate certain contracts, right?They have as part of their marketing platform, a podcast called hello prenup, right? My wife is part of whatever, networking, bullshit. I don't know what it is, but in somehow they came into contact through that too. And the lady that runs a podcast asked us to be on the podcast got Thursday. Gotcha. So fan fucking tastic fan fucking tastic because this company.It's giving counseling to people who are about to get married. Right? And here we are two attorneys already married with a kid we're in business together. Like everything you're not supposed to do, we're doing right. And we don't have a prenup. And then also we would walk in to talking about probate and trust and all of the other stuff.And because of this show, because of the hard luck, and by the way, I told them about the hard luck show on that podcast, that host was so stoked because she had to do very little work, very little work in order to get the conversation in the whatever's out. Right. So my wife and I were able to do stuff.In fact, my wife has certified yoga. Yogi. I don't know why every woman in California becomes a certified yoga. Shaun you're nodding your head. Why? Because my wife's a yoga too. Right. They all want to be a fucking certified Yogi. Right. And then, you know, I asked her what's the w w what does, what's the connection between yoga.And litigation. And my wife, uh, was not prepared for that conference. That question was, although she'd been married to me for a long time, and I said, and she said, you have to breathe. And then we took it off from there and was fucking great. But the point of the matter is, is because of this show, we're on 2 63, the lady that gets paid for corporate podcast, it blew her mind that we have 263 or 65 episodes in the short amount of time that we do she's paid and she's in a corporate gig and they're only dropping one a week.And part of that has to do with opening up the flood gates and allowing the material to come through and, uh, not to be too precious about every single moment, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And that's the story of that podcast now? Oh, blue eyes to you. Right. And so that, wasn't your wife's first podcast rights.She was on the hard luck show. Right. And if you haven't heard. We've been talking about the protal episodes mixed tape for the last couple of weeks, at least. Um, so I want to play your wife's first appearance. I do. I have a clip of it. Am I going to get in trouble? Who knows? So let me set it up, set it up.This guy is so smart. He pulls this shit out after I make this big statement about being unguarded and open. Now I have to live by that. Yeah. Let me set this up. Okay. We're doing a show. This is way early. So what number? Oh, what the fuck. This is no, this isn't even a number. This is before one. This is the prodo episodes, man.This is the shit that we recorded before we released anything. Why were we doing that? We're trying to gather him mentor. We got together and we started to record and like a bunch of this shit we never released. Wow. So you get to hear it. All right. So let me just. Alright, we're recording shows and in wa at his law office in Costa Mesa, right?The first office and in walks this girl, and she's a intern, right? No, she's not even an answer. She's going to interview to be an intern. It was her day of the interview. It was their day of the interview. So she walks in and there's a bunch of dudes recording, fucking, and he's like, Hey, do you mind sitting down and recording?Not just any dudes. Right? I mean, it's Rick, Steve. It's like all of that. Like what? This does not look anything like a law firm Diablo or somebody else was there. Right. Right. Let me play this clip. He was there. Did you? Oh yeah, please.But how are you with stress? I'm very good with stress. It just pushes me to be very aggressive. And my awesome. How did you become good at stress? Like, did you have stressful issues or like, so, um, so I played softball for a very, very, very long time. What position I was center field. And I played when I was like in middle school and then I started to travel ball and that's what I committed my life to travel ball.What the hell is travel ball like they're dedicated to the sport. So the voice you're hearing in the background is ed bueno. Oh, Matt side. K by the way, mats on the outs with ed bueno, fucked up mother fucker. Every day, I'm going to practice every Saturday and Sunday. I miss prom. I miss softball. Yeah. Hold leash.That's king sale, dude. That was right around the time that kink sat. Listen, I almost said I don't give a fuck. King Sam and made the mistake. He didn't even know Steve and king salmon towards, he was like, Hey, Hey, it seems like, Hey motherfucker. Really? Yeah. That's a true story. He's like telling me fucking.Dude. I'd never seen a scared salmon. So scared of that dude, he was like, huh? I didn't say nothing, sir. He really did. Is your dad really into softball?enough about your softball? Let's talk about your dad. Was your dad really into sticks and both. Did he own the woods? Dad? Are they in the south? Is your dad a catcher or a pitcher? No, I just, I was, I was thinking that her dad was one of those obsessive like softball fans. Your dad liked her brush off home.Anyway, because you do that. Your dad got into third base. Oh, hold on a second. Here comes the partner. Oh, look at her face. She look at, she's not looking at all the monitors a smile. I see the smile. Hi Lily. Yes. Look at that face shy. Can you describe that face for me?She just, we did the interview. Are you going to do you don't have to get on mic. Are you going to get on the micro now? No. Okay. Lily, Lily, Lily. Thank you. Thank you, Lily hours and the case. Oh, my God. I'm dead, dude. I was lazy,dude. I'm dad. I gotta go. She was going to kill me. I have a young lady in here. It's not that she hates it when I'm, when I'm what she doesn't want me to give the wrong, like tone to the system. She wants everyone to snap to attention. She thinks this is going to be fun time. Did you see that face, dude?That's the first she was like, I thought I was grounded. I thought we were all going to get in here. Did you hear the, if it was like, yes, she said, ma'am you hear that? Ma'am my wife got a man. Listen, let me tell you. Wow, bro. So, Hey, what happened to the fallout of that? There was none. I talked to her and she said, first of all, you guys got to remember.I, okay. Wait short, has your wife giving you shit yet about not being rich after. A little bit blue eyes, did you watch say shit like, Hey, they don't even pay you money. Right. And so that was, at that time, my wife was like, Hey, like, what is this? That was at the beginning. I mean, now she buys the whole fucking thing.She sees it all, bro. She's behind a thousand percent. But back then, all she knew is she had a fucking jokey as gap to the husband who had all of his cronies around a table, on a microphone and was interviewing chicks. Like, so where's that going? Sunny man look like, uh, any kind of business to me. Right. So that's where that was.So, but the fallout wasn't that, that heavy, I just told her and I kept on it. And now she's a fucking supporter of the highest magnitude high magnitude she is. I mean, Steve, what do you think you're listening to all this? This is the early days. I'm kind of curious to your perspective. I think it's funny. I think we see.Different. I think we've gotten so much better. It's but it's funny. Cause we didn't know what we were doing in the beginning. We were just fucking doing, Hey, I'm Schwartz. You kind of came on when we got into third gear or whatever it is. What did you, what did you think of this prodo episode? Like what observations?Oh, I thought it was, I thought it was fucking hilarious, man. Um, it sounds like old, you know what I mean? Like it sounds you guys are definitely more polished, more cohesive, you know, uh, simpatico, all that shit, but it sounds fresh and new and you know, like, uh, yeah, I mean, you can actually visualize like how dogged out you got like easily, you know, like your wife came in, she didn't say it, but she was like, who is this bitch right here?You know, I don't know what she looked like. I wasn't there, but you could, you could hear that. Sean, you know, what do you, what goes on for you? What observations do you make here in that there was no structure? No, um, I don't know. I think we understand the roles a little bit better and, uh, you know, we get to the point and you know, now we have an intro and that sort of thing, there's a total structure to is, uh, um, yeah, back then, it was just like a free for all.You could hear everybody just talking and chime in and that sort of thing. And then look, I mean, it was so free that a fucking someone came in to interview for a role. I'm sorry. And we just put her on Mike right away. That was where my attitude was at that time was like, fuck it, whatever happens. Let's fucking go.We brought in a homeless guy one time. We did. Do you remember that? That guy was scoping? That guy was sleeping. Underneath the window, right. Of my office. Yeah. And we brought that dude in, gave him some water. All right. You know, that's a lot, I think for pot. Well, Hey, Zeus, what do you think about that?You've been with, you've been with it since Esteban Oriel. So this is pre Esteban. What are your thoughts on what we just listened to? What we just listened to? Yeah. It sounded all that kind of sounded like, whoa. Like nobody really knew what they were doing. I guess it meant that now you guys are, everything is more clear and like yeah.More organized, you know what I mean? But even, but even the first episodes were good though. At least I think they were for the Stefan and everything I did too. I think they sounded good. Yeah. I think they always sounded good bite. I think, I just think they sounded a little more clear nowadays. Before, you know, I I'm going to say this.I was listening to that and I was listening to just how fresh and almost instantaneous the reactions were. Do you know what I mean? Like it wasn't canned and I can I personally, and maybe I'm nuts, but I can hear in there, like the definite personalities and also the emotional ism in the room. I think that's what separates like a run of the mill podcast from one that's more engaging is that you're getting an actual sensitive feeling or the attitude, or like the emotional, like temperature of the room.You're getting a sense of that. That's what I got from that. The other piece I got from that was like, wow, that was a lot of kinks. It was, yeah, he was like, there's more. Is there play another one playing another one.

MSPs have been using contracts for many years to structure and codify their managed services relationships with clients. One of the tools MSPs have been using quite effectively in the last 10-15 years is the master service agreement (MSA).  As MSAs have been more frequently employed in managed services relationships, there is undeniable change occurring in the MSP profession and specifically how MSA are being implemented during the sales process. MSP use of quoting tools, proposal generation, and obtaining signatures, are all forcing change within the sales process, ultimately challenging how we use MSAs.  Today's MSP Zone guest is Rob Scott, lawyer and partner with Scott & Scott LLP, a Texas based law firm specializing in cloud and managed services law, among other areas. Rob presents a new model for utilizing MSAs for the modern day MSP. One of the most significant changes to the MSA and how it is used by MSPs is the practice of putting it online. MSP Zone discusses the risks and benefits of uploading your MSA, what needs to change in order to accomplish this goal, and how it could benefit your sales process.  MSP Zone Guest: Rob Scott, partner at Scott & Scott, LLP
