We think of the Tudor period as velvet and poetry and dramatic executions. We do not think of it as siege warfare. That's a mistake. In this episode I'm looking at three Tudor sieges that completely wrecked my assumptions about this era: - Henry VIII personally showing up to besiege a French city (and having to be hoisted onto his horse to get there), - a Protestant reformer who ended up as a galley slave after one of the most dramatic castle standoffs in Scottish history, - and a massacre on an Irish headland that the Elizabethan golden age narrative tends to skip past. Gunpowder was changing everything in this period. The Tudors were living in a world of constant violence and instability that the pretty portraits don't show us. And some of the most consequential moments of the 16th century happened not in a court or a council chamber, but outside a set of walls. Learn more about your ad choices.

Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and Nick Miller entertain this month's listener entries for Mesut Haaland Dicks, as the Clichés faithful nominate their niche footballing fascinations and irritations. Among the selections are the mid-game solidarity between opposing 5-a-side goalkeepers, top-half teams with wildly anomalous goal differences, managers who performatively refuse to watch their players taking penalties, and the attitude of pubs towards their flag-based bunting during major tournaments. Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel enjoy a quintessentially Scottish football phone-in caller and a listener flags a very niche noise made by a commentator that we will now never be able to ignore.

A Scottish orphan sails from the Highlands to New Bern in the 1780s, builds a waterfront empire, and watches Union soldiers occupy his elegant mansion during the Civil War. Fast forward two centuries—what if one of his descendants became the voice that taught America to dream of Carolina? In this episode of JoCoYo, we trace a 250-year family journey from New Bern's wharves to Chapel Hill's piney woods, culminating in a shocking musical revelation that connects coastal commerce to Piedmont poetry—and North Carolina's red clay to an anthem we all know by heart.

A Scottish ferryman refused to take travelers across the water after dark — and the ones who stayed the night were never seen again. | #WDRadio WEEK OF FEBRUARY 22, 2026==========HOUR ONE: A 178-year-old mystery comes to the surface in a Philadelphia suburb. (Grandfather's Ghost Story Leads to Mass Grave) *** Recently a wrecking crew began tearing down and old building in Rhode Island. But the big burly men on the crew got so frightened they refused to continue the work. Does reconstruction of a home or building anger the souls who once lived there? (Does Remodeling Your Home Disturb The Spirits Who Died There?) *** The way life has grown on our planet requires that all living things feed off each other and must kill others in order to survive.  That's the way of the world if you want to live for any more than a few days. But some people are now claiming they can live without food at all… indefinitely. (Life Without Food) *** Three men were in a shed selling gardening supplies when some strange powder suddenly hit the ceiling. Before they had time to react, a small jug on a shelf abruptly flew across the room. One man picked up the jug and placed it a covered box. Instantly, the jug was...somehow...back on the floor. And that was just the beginning of the strange haunting of a community's garden shed.

(The Witch of Plum Hollow) *** Some travelers, arriving late at night to board Oliver's Ferry the next day, stayed at Oliver's house.

(The Frights of Oliver's Ferry)==========HOUR TWO: An eerie tombstone stands watch over one of Portland Oregon's oldest cemeteries. And the story behind that tombstone is a strange one. (The Guardians of Lone Fir Cemetery) *** Don't take a gift from Little Gracie's grave... or her life-like statue might cry tears of blood. (The Ghost of Gracie Watson) *** When it came to her daughter's Elsa doll, one mom was eager and ready to “Let It Go”. But the doll supernaturally refused to be let go! (Haunted Elsa Doll) *** An ancient stone cross is said by locals to be cursed, and the curse infects anyone who dares to disrespect it. (Curse of the Saxon Stone Cross) *** Christopher Slaughterford was seemingly a completely ordinary young Englishman – but he has earned an unenviable place in the legal books. (T
he Trials of Christopher Slaughterford) *** Two authors reported a very strange encounter with a mysterious entity they believed was not of this world. What did they see and why were they under the impression this being was not of this world? (An Author's Encounter With A Not-Of-This-World Entity)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: For Allen Taylor, January 15, 1919 was just another day on his farm near Prescott, Iowa. That is, until his 15-year-old neighbor Irene Hoskins came stumbling down the lane with a gash in the side of her head.  (The Hoskins Family Murders) *** How did someone get the job of an executioner in medieval times?

Inspired by a recent celebration of life, Nole and Kevin explore why society reserves its best praise for funerals and how they can start "breathing life" into their families and colleagues while they are still around to hear it.Big thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" in our podcast!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz2RZThURTU&ab_channel=FacedownRecordsThe Fire You Carry on YouTube.Sign up for a class at The Fire Up Program!https://www.fireupprogram.com/programsThe Fire Up Progam video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I__ErPW46Ec&t=12s&ab_channel=FireUpProgramThe Fire You Carry Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/thefireyoucarry/Donate to The Fire Up Program.https://www.fireupprogram.com/donateThe Fire Up Program Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/fireup_program/Kevin's Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/kevinpwelsh/?hl=enMyZone facility code for The Fire You Carry: CALIFUS001Get $60 off a MZ-Switch Heart Rate Monitor!https://buy.myzone.org/?lang=enUS&voucher=CALIFUS001-60

Danfoss Case Controllers Enables and Control, Does GoogleTranslate Do Scottish?? Episode-508Brett Wetzel and first-time guest Kevin Compass kick off the Advanced Refrigeration Podcast in a chaotic mood after tech failures, traffic, and a rough week on a large grocery-store refrigeration job where electricians are slowing progress, skipping work on energized circuits, and delaying rack startup. They talk about traveling, hotel safety concerns, sleep deprivation, and returning the following week because verification is only partially complete and the rack couldn't be started. The conversation shifts into Danfoss case control and pack controller details, including correcting earlier misunderstandings about fan shutdown logic being handled automatically by the pack controller if programmed correctly. Brett walks through Danfoss thermostat control settings (on/off vs modulating), notes recommended minimum modulation percentages (around 3.6–4), and discusses guidance from Brian Rogers about avoiding modulating on dual-temp islands unless using an EPR, especially on CO2 systems due to potential icing issues. They explain S3/S4 sensor weighting (inlet vs discharge air), caution against using weighted control where return air can be blocked (turkey, produce, beer cases), and discuss how modulating control can reduce cycling and improve rack stability—especially on low-temp circuits that affect medium-temp load and BGV stability. They debate CO2 ejector versus high-pressure valve operation, with Brett noting updated information that ejectors run as primary until high utilization before the HPV opens. The episode also covers Danfoss network scheduling for case enable/shutdown staging, group-based defrost schedules, why long stage delays can cause short cycling after power blips, the value of adding minimum loop protections, and the confusion of chained controller calculations. They end by noting a potential wiring/relay issue on ejector solenoids (not all on solid-state relays), joking about communication challenges with a Scottish colleague, and signing off as Brett heads to sleep before an early flight.

This lecture explores the profound teachings of Jesus as presented in Matthew 11:20-30, focusing on Jesus' denouncement of unrepentant towns and his invitation to those who are weary. The session begins with a reading that sets the stage for Jesus' criticism of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, towns that witnessed numerous miracles yet failed to turn to God. The lecturer, Ian, introduces this context by recounting a story from the life of Matt Canlis, who, while meeting with a skeptic from a small Scottish village, illustrated the significance of geographical proximity to miraculous events and the accountability that comes with it.Ian emphasizes that these towns had unprecedented access to Jesus and his teachings, making their rejection of his message particularly poignant. By juxtaposing these Galilean villages with notorious cities like Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom, Jesus underlines a critical biblical principle: with great knowledge comes great responsibility. The discussion invites listeners to reflect on their own context, especially in a nation like the United States, where access to the words and teachings of Jesus is unparalleled.The lecture transitions to a prayer from Jesus expressing gratitude for God revealing truths to the “childlike” while hiding them from the “wise.” This prayer shifts the tone from condemnation to affirmation, illustrating God's preference for humility and receptivity over intellectual pride. Ian draws parallels with historical and scriptural references, noting the consequences of a hardened heart towards God. The lecture stresses that genuine worship and relationship with God go beyond outward appearances and rituals; their essence lies in the condition of the heart.The focus then moves toward the invitation Jesus extends to the weary and heavy-laden. Ian elaborates on the concept of taking on Jesus' yoke, explaining its implications both as a metaphor for learning from him and as an invitation into a deeper relational dynamic with the God who provides rest. He articulates that this rest is not merely physical relief but an overarching peace that comes from trust in God's provision.Ian contrasts Jesus' yoke with the burdens of cultural expectations and personal struggles, urging participants to consider what yokes they might be carrying that leave them exhausted. He discusses the dual nature of Jesus as both humble and powerful, capable of bearing burdens while inviting believers into a partnership that offers rest and learning. The imagery of yoking together, especially a younger ox with an older one, illustrates the nature of this relationship—Jesus as the stronger partner who supports the believer in navigating life's challenges.As the lecture progresses, Ian invites listeners to engage with their own weariness, suggesting that coming to Jesus provides not just relief but guidance in learning to live in alignment with God's will. The session culminates with an invitation for prayer, allowing those feeling burdened an opportunity to seek support in the community and to step into the rest that Jesus promises.Ultimately, Ian emphasizes the importance of remaining receptive to God's voice and guidance, challenging listeners to approach their faith with the eagerness of a child ready to learn. The invitation to “come to me” is framed not just as a call to relief but as an entrance into a transformative relationship with Jesus, reinforcing the belief that he offers a fitting yoke that leads to true rest for the soul.

It's a great Sunday for Hearts – and they didn't even have to kick a ball. Jonathan Sutherland, Scott Allan and Peter Løvenkrands break down another epic weekend of Scottish football. Celtic lose at home to Hibernian: do the champions have the performance levels required to bring the title back to Parkhead? And should they have been awarded a late penalty? Rangers drop two points at lowly Livingston – but do they now have a more realistic shot at the league than their city rivals? Hearts return to winning ways with a narrow victory over Falkirk. Does that result nudge them into the favourites' position? Are St Mirren bracing for a relegation fight? All that, plus Dundee claim a historic win at Aberdeen.

It’s Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach. And today I’m really pleased to be joined by Sean Tepper, who’s the founder and the CEO of Tykr. Welcome along. Sean. Sean Tepper Andrew. Good to be here. Andrew Mitchem Awesome to have you. Sean, could you introduce yourselves to everybody and let us know who you are and what you do and what we’re going to talk about? Sean Tepper – found of TYKR Sean Tepper Sure. Yeah. My name is Sean Tepper. I’m the founder of TYKR, as Andrew said. And long story short, TYKRs a platform that helps people buy and sell stocks with confidence prior to that. My background is about 20 years in tech, 15 years investing, and I kind of created TYKR as a solution to a frustration in the markets. Sean Tepper And we could dive into what that frustration is, if you’d like. Yeah. But yeah, I had to create a solution because it was very hard to make decisions when I first got started. And that’s where really TYKR came from. And, but yeah, fast forward to today. We’ve got a little over, 13,000 customers in about 50 countries, including where you’re based. Sean Tepper New Zealand. Andrew Mitchem Oh that’s good. Yeah. So you had 50 countries. That’s a that’s an awesome effort. And, and Sean, I was reading about, you know, you started, on your website says, in, you know, 2011 to 2015, you were trying to figure out what wasn’t there to help you. What did you find back then? Was the biggest frustration that led to TYKR happening? Sean Tepper Yeah. So when I first got started, you know, I think I joined E-Trade. And, you know, there’s so many brokers these days, it’s hard to keep track of. But as soon as I joined, I had no idea what to do next. So I started going on YouTube researching where do you go to invest? Like looking up different investing platforms? Sean Tepper I found a few of our competitors, like Seeking Alpha and Motley Fool, and they do a fine job, but it’s still very difficult to truly know the difference between a strong stock and a weak stock is is very frustrating. And for context, my background is in tech, but to go, layer deeper, it’s actually in process engineering. Sean Tepper Like I’ve worked a lot for GE and Koehler. And the rule is in process engineering, if you have 100 data points, you cannot present that to a customer or an executive. You have to roll it up to ideally a binary decision like yes or no or a traffic light. And I was complaining at that time, like, am I the only one complaining about the fact that there’s no process engineering lens layered over investing like, this is insane. Sean Tepper Like nobody’s making it easy. And that was kind of the green light I was thinking of, like, hey, if I could figure something out here, I think the big solution is a create a process engineering solution in the world of finance and apparently I’m the only one really doing that today, other than the few platforms that say buy or sell. Sean Tepper But I don’t really recommend that. But yeah, that was that was the beginning. And it took about a year to build this Excel sheets. And I give you context here, I found a lot of inspiration from Phil Towne. He wrote a few books on value investing. Do you know Phil Towne? Andrew Mitchem No, I don’t know. No. Okay. Sean Tepper Your your audience may be interested. He wrote a book. One of them is rule one. The other one is payback time. I really provided some. Yeah, yeah. You know, rule one investing, Warren Buffett. We can talk about that. But, yeah, I, I found some of the calculus in his books, put it into Excel, and I ended up coming up with about 50 data points to analyze the stock. Sean Tepper And then on top of that, I created a traffic like rating system where stocks are either on sale, watch or overpriced. That’s green, gray or red. And I used it the next 4 or 5 years on my own, making returns between 15 and 50%, and my returns still fall in that range today. Our customers actually fall in that range as well. Sean Tepper But yeah, I, I wanted to make sure I’m using my own money testing it to make sure it works, not just like four weeks or four months. I went like that over four years. And then it was 2019 was the inflection point when I’m like, I think I’ve got a solution here, but let’s just confirm. Sent the sheet to a few of the retail investors and everybody’s like, I’m not going to use this Excel sheet. Sean Tepper This is insane. You got to create a software. So that right. That was the green light. Let’s go create a SaaS platform. And took a year to build the first version. And the first version was not pretty. But yeah, fast forward to today. That’s where we’re at. But yeah. Andrew Mitchem They Nimrod when you look back on them. Sean Tepper Yeah, right. It was like the, the metaphor I use is it felt like I was building a physical prototype made of like, and duct tape and cardboard. It was not pretty videos. It’s pretty ugly. But you get feedback from your customers and you just keep making it better, and it actually turns into something. How does this software help? Andrew Mitchem So, yeah, awesome. That’s brilliant. So fast forward then to today. Why would someone come and use what you have and I suppose in a practical basis, how does it help them? What are they. What do they input? What do they use to make decisions for them? Sean Tepper Sure. Yeah. So I’ll give you some of the the subjective reasons and then we’ll get into the objective and why that’s actually important to our, our broker partners. But our rating system again process engineering, it doesn’t sound very glamorous, but the concept of making decisions very easy for people, it is very true in most industries. So we we use the process engineering lens. Sean Tepper Plus we take a lot of inspiration from Duolingo for language learning in our opinion. Like what? They’ve got over 600 million users. They’re doing something right. We’re teaching people how to learn a language with these micro learning modules. And I’m like, we need to do the same thing in our platform, but it’s got to be investing focused. So we’ve got these modules peppered around that quickly teaches people how to invest in you put the two together, the rating system, plus the simplified education that helps people. Sean Tepper And it’s not our guarantee, but it’s it’s something we let people know upfront that 90% of customers is actually over 90. But we say 90% of customers that use TYKR are able to go from a beginner to confident an investor in 14 days or less. It’s very quick. Wow. And what does that mean from an objective standpoint? And this is what matters most to brokers, which is most brokers we’re talking to have two big problems. Sean Tepper And number one, very little transaction volumes, like somebody will join on day one and they’ll wait three months or six months or nine months, and then make another trade. And the other issue is the average account size is less than 5000. While with TYKR after five years. Now we’re we track like a lot of data points to see our, investors behavior. Sean Tepper And typically people make 30% more transactions after joining TYKR. And their average account size is about $180,000. So what that tells us is and it tells. Right. So these people are their confidence is skyrocketing and they’re adding more money from their checking account or their savings. So it’s not sitting in a low interest vehicle. So so there you go. Sean Tepper That’s how we’re different. I’ll give you one more way where different in your audience may appreciate this is TYKRs. Calculations are actually open source for personal use. And the SEC really likes that. Like we had an audit done to make sure we fall in that publisher exclusion category. We could talk about that in a minute, but making sure we’re not we’re not giving financial advice, but this firm we’re talking to and we had another we’re actually had two firms. Sean Tepper Take a look. They were both very impressed that we we put those calculations out and I’m like, I’m, I’m actually not concerned anybody’s going to take it because it’s even though it’s relatively simple math, it’s a lot of it. And try to put together in a software what would take you a really long time. So fortunately nobody’s tried to duplicate it. Sean Tepper But the calculations are out there. Andrew Mitchem Yeah, well, for the sake, I was looking on your your purchase, page. Your pricing page. For the sake of $50 a month, you just use it. Wouldn’t you? Rather than trying to reinvent it or. Sean Tepper It exact right at the base price is like, you’re saying 15, 15 bucks a month or 99 a year? You’re right. It’s like, oh, okay. So here’s the here’s the calculations. Yeah. I’m not going to reiterate. That’s where it. Andrew Mitchem Is. I mean in in lifetime working it out will spend $100 a year same. Sean Tepper Same prices Netflix their. Andrew Mitchem Data. Exactly. Yeah a lot more educational. Yes. Sean Tepper Yes. TFTC also helps create successful traders Andrew Mitchem Thank you. So it it sounds like although we’re in, slightly different markets within the overall similar markets now, we have something very similar going on, which is amazing is we’ve never met obviously, before, you know, 20 minutes ago, and that we find that our clients would be very similar to yours. The average forex person’s out there, small account, scared to trade, or they do the opposite and they do silly things and they make us even money and then lose it all, which inevitably happens. Andrew Mitchem And then they blame the break on the market. And that’s where we find our clients are different as well. You know, they have confidence that low risk approach. They they know what they’re doing, what to look for, when to do it. And therefore when they go to a broker brokers out there because, you know, the client’s got a hugely, bigger account and trading more often. Andrew Mitchem So it’s incredible how education and lack of it can affect so many people in this. Seriously. Yeah. It’s crazy. Yeah. Now, Sean, you mentioned, about the no financial advice, you know, situation. And again, coming back, that’s where we’re similar, you know, what’s your take on the no financial advice? Sean Tepper Yeah. So with the SEC, there’s I don’t have the exact, it’s like rule 102-5 or whatever. I’m making that up. But yeah, they’re essentially three rules you have to follow with staying in the publisher exclusion category. And there are companies and there are guys out there, some women as well, that they they get into some some shaky ground or gray areas where they push the envelope and they can get into some some big legal trouble. Sean Tepper So the three rules really go as follows. Number one is all information has to be factual. Like we can’t say like, hey, because I like x, y, z CEO, I think the share price is going to $2,000 a share. That’s crazy. We have to present the data like everything we do is really based off the fundamentals. We don’t cook any books. Sean Tepper We don’t skew the financials. It’s like, hey, here’s the EPS, here’s the revenue, here’s the net income, here’s the debt. Bam, roll it up to our calculations. And there’s your score. Keep it very simple right. Number two is and this is actually pretty easy to follow is we can’t ask our customers their age their risk level when they want to retire and then give them recommendations based on that criteria. Sean Tepper That is described as personalized financial advice. So very easy. Like okay, so don’t ask those personal questions. And number three everything has to be regular. And what does regular mean. It means all information we we put out has to be like every day or every week, which it’s we update our data every day. We can’t do and this is a common problem with a lot of discord and WhatsApp groups. Sean Tepper And so I’ve been told from the SEC, which is pump and dumps, is like, hey, go buy as much of GameStop by Tuesday. And then the very next day, without telling anyone, they’ll go sell a bunch of GameStop or whatever stock they they can come up with. And that is actually a common issue because you can make a lot of money in short order. Sean Tepper So, yeah, no, no irregular posting. It has to be regular posting. So yeah, those are the three rules with the publisher exclusion. And to be honest with you, but actually pretty easy to follow. Is social media helpful? Andrew Mitchem Yeah, yeah. That’s good. Do you find you mentioned on social media type of apps? Do you find that those, causing problems generally for people because they just think they’re going to find something that’s going to solve all their life’s financial problems? Sean Tepper You mean like our customer is going on social media and reading comments. Andrew Mitchem To make sure customers, but just general people out there and in general isn’t there going to find some app and follow something and it’s suddenly going to give them all the magical answers? Sean Tepper No. In general, I think most people are skeptical, which I think is good. They’re not going to like, you know, like, for example, they’re not going to come to tinker right away and be like, oh, this is this is my savior. That’s that’s not the case. We want people to be skeptical. And we always tell people like, don’t like, I’ll talk about Tinker all day, but don’t even take my word for it. Sean Tepper I always say, go to Trustpilot, see what our customers have to say first before you even think about it. And then our model is, it’s a trial 14 day trial. And then we also have a 30 day money back guarantee. So even when your credit card is charged, if you want to refund, we’re not going to fight you on it. Sean Tepper It’s like it’s 15 bucks. That’s right, that’s right. It’s like we’re not going to split hairs on this, but it’s like you want to create a platform that it’s very easy to join is very easy to learn about. You can see what your customers are saying. It’s easy to test drive. Those are kind of the boxes I like to check when I join a platform because I’m using other software to build TYKR, whether it’s a marketing software or analytics or email marketing or whatever, right. Sean Tepper I want those things. So I’m like, I’m going to do the same thing with my own platform. But coming back to the skepticism, I think it’s good. It’s good to have a healthy amount, and it’s good for people to not only, like join TYKR, but go have like join our competitors, see what they have to say. And sometimes you’ll get things to line up like let’s say it’s a stock you really like and you’ve got, you know, TYKR, Motley Fool and Seeking Alpha are all like, hey, this is this is a strong stock, not a buy stock, but its financials are strong. Sean Tepper That creates layers of confidence is how we phrase it. Yeah. Creating those layers of confidence gives people more confidence to move forward. Andrew Mitchem Yeah yeah that’s good. And I noticed also on your on your offer there that you talk about cryptos as well Matt. Obviously it’s the, the big thing that people want to talk about and we’ll see more recently we’ve seen some big drops as well. Yeah. How, how do people finding using your software or on cryptos. Andrew Mitchem Because it’s, it’s like one of the markets that we kind of cross over on. Sean Tepper Yeah. So with crypto we weren’t originally going to add it to the platform, but a few people were like, hey, can you add crypto from a tracking perspective? Now for context, we have three assets in TYKR. We have stocks, ETFs and crypto ETFs. It’s easy to analyze because it’s really just a bundle of stocks. So we analyze each individual stock. Sean Tepper We roll them all up. If it’s let’s say 500 stocks within an ETF. You can create you can calculate what is the average score within come to that on sale watch over priced. But when it comes to crypto as you know there’s no income statement cash flow statement A balance sheet is not a business, it’s just a digital asset. Sean Tepper But again, we had customers that were like, hey, you got a lot of good tracking tools, like you can set alerts on my dates and prices and really anything you want within TYKR. And so they’re saying like, can you add crypto within so we can keep track of all of our favorite assets in one clean location. And my response to that was, oh yeah, no problem. Sean Tepper We’ll add crypto to this tool. But there’s not a lot of analysis you can do there because again, it’s not a business. Multiple brokers or one? Andrew Mitchem Yeah, yeah. Fair enough. And also I noticed that you said about the broker connection. So one of your pricing models, that’s one broker three and five. Correct. What would be the reasons around someone needing, say, three brokers or five brokers as opposed to one. Sean Tepper Yeah. So the reason is typically your employer is going to issue you A41 like here in the states, of course, we get A41KI don’t know, in New Zealand you call it a pension like they do in, Europe. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Kiwisavers called but yeah it’s that has is our name. Yeah. Sean Tepper Okay. Exactly. So you’re going to have that is going to be one retirement vehicle. And that’s typically set up with like here in the States. The two big ones are typically fidelity and Empower. There’s also Schwab. But then you’re probably going to want to do some trading on your own. So then here in the States some of the popular choices are Robinhood. Sean Tepper You’ve got E-Trade, you know. So there’s your second one. And then sometimes you’re going to have like an inherited account from a family member, you know, that could be on a different account. And if you don’t roll it over to your current broker, well, guess what? You’ve got a third broker sitting in place. But I get this. I’ve talked to people that have they’ve had more than five different brokers on my response. Sean Tepper So that is why. Yeah. So. Right. It’s it’s it seems unorganized. But we created the three tiers the premium premium plus an advanced premium. You get one broker premium Plus you get three in advance. You get five. We usually like 99.9% of the time. We don’t see people with more than five brokers. But like for example, between my wife and I, we have like we have three. Sean Tepper So yeah. Andrew Mitchem Okay. So with this allows someone to make their analysis and then connect directly through to that broker via your software. Is that how it works. Sean Tepper Yeah. Yeah. So yeah when when you join your broker and we’re really good complement to a broker will never replace it. We don’t want to be a broker dealer. That’s a legal name for their business model because we don’t hold any assets. We don’t hold people’s money. We’re just analytics. So yeah, when people join, you can sync up with your broker. Sean Tepper And what that does is it automatically updates your portfolio in TYKR every day. And it’s a much cleaner interface than most brokers out there. I, I’m never going to talk down about brokers, but it’s like their job is to protect people’s money. But when it comes to analytics dashboards or giving, like education or analytics, it’s that’s not their specialty, nor will it really ever be. Sean Tepper So we fill that gap, we complement and we make it easy to see because some people are like, I don’t I don’t actually know how much money I have because the dashboards in my broker’s so hard to use them, like just sync up your account TYKR and it’s going to kind of summarize it for you. Yeah, yeah. Andrew Mitchem That’s interesting. That makes a lot of sense. Makes life easy for people. And also I see that you have a mobile app. So can someone get the exact same information on the app. But they can all the desktop. Sean Tepper It’s pretty much the same experience. We try to release our features, if not the same day within the next week or two. Like if we need to deploy something to web or web app, we try to do the same thing to the mobile, that allows people to write. They can kind of analyze stocks and the gold or standing in line somewhere at Starbucks, whatever. Sean Tepper The mobile app, I will say this has an additional feature, which is the Duolingo inspired learning modules that kind of like swipe right, swipe left type feel. We don’t have that in the web app today, but we’ve had a few people say, hey, can you also add that to web? Well, that’ll come soon. But yeah, it’s pretty much the same experience. Andrew Mitchem And what’s the AI investing helper that’s not like yeah, humming live. Sean Tepper Oh, that could be going live. Well, recording this video is, February 9th. That could go live on the 11th. Okay. So that’s a feature where you can, like, interact with where you’re going to be the first to hear about it here. So it’s it’s an AI tool where you can ask questions like how do I get started? Sean Tepper Or what should I do with my first thousand dollars? Or, what when is the best time to buy or best to sell? You can interact with AI and it’s actually connected with TYKRs, data set, but also the the globe and it’s put a lot of rigor, rigor into place to make sure it’s not giving you financial advice, but it’s really leaning into giving you the data and TYKR. Sean Tepper So it’s for example, if you were to ask it, hey, can you tell me how to value a stock? It’s going to first go to TYKRs data set. And with the education and give you that information. And then some general information. You know that makes it sound nicer. And then kind of spit it out. So yeah, eventually we’ll release in multiple phases. Sean Tepper So the first phase we call the helper, the second phase is the portfolio builder in a will build hypothetical like for example, build me a portfolio of ten strong tech stocks or buy food stocks or car stocks, something like that. Yeah. And of course it’ll say this is not financial advice. This is a hypothetical portfolio. But yes. And then the third phase will be an analyzer. Sean Tepper So analyze my current portfolio. Like what changes would you recommend. And that that’s going to be really, really cool. So with I will say this and then I’ll stop talking. It’s a powerful tool because it can analyze large data sets in a short amount of time. But as we say at TYKR. And this is why when I become self-aware like Skynet, I’m going to be the first one to be targeted. Sean Tepper Right? It’s, it’s smart, but it’s not that smart. So you have to put a lot of rigor in a place, a lot of guardrails, because it can, as you know, hallucinate. Yeah. So we are bouncing AI up against logic and mathematics to make sure it does not say something stupid to our customers. TFTC creating a trading bot program Andrew Mitchem That’s interesting. We’re in the middle of all we’re saying in the middle. We’ve been testing this live for over a year of getting AI to create trading bots for us, and what it’s doing is it’s spitting at a heap of bots and going through, sort of live trading on, on, you know, that are not real money. We’re trading on the money. Andrew Mitchem And then each week, we’re using the human aspect, the common sense and the knowledge that we look at as technical traders to pick which bots we’re going to be running live for subscribers for the upcoming week. And, and we’re finding that that combination of using the AI for that speed and, you know, doing the, the hard work. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. And giving us some information. But like you said, the guardrail becomes the human input in the common sense of what we’re seeing as technically on a chart. There’s no point in, let’s say, say Bitcoin over the last few weeks has been, you know, crashing. So nicely. There’s no point in us selecting bullish, crypto bots for the upcoming week when there’s technical traders. Andrew Mitchem We’re looking at it dropping. So I find that adding a bit of human common sense and knowledge, along with the AI at this stage is a really nice combination. Sean Tepper You got to do it right, and you probably seen the, the bad choices some people have made. If you let I make all the decisions, you can pull yourself into a, really bad situation. Especially. I like what you’re describing with your bots or those bots actually executing trades. Andrew Mitchem They they can, but we are more trying to set it up so the individual gets the alert and still needs to manually go yes or no as well. Good call. Because I don’t want to get into that situation where it’s completely, you know, automated, although a lot of people are want it all automated. My job as someone who teaches people is you still have to have that knowledge first to understand how to run the bots and to make a commonsense decision. Andrew Mitchem Is it making a good call or not? Sean Tepper Yeah, I’m good answer there, because the other hour I was talking to one company that was have was looking to have AI execute trades automatically. I’m like, whoa, what if they just run with the line and it’s like, go right? Like if rapid fire trades for an hour or two, it’s like, yeah, put some people in a bad situation. Sean Tepper So yeah. Andrew Mitchem Anyway, yeah, we’ll avoid that. We’re both avoid that. Yep. Yeah, exactly. I use it for the hard work and still use the brain. And that’s the thing, isn’t it? You know, what you created and what we’ve created. We’re about educating people, empowering people to use their common sense. Because I still think, after all, it comes down to it, there’s nothing better as a human, as an individual to have that, that how and that it’s almost like that feelgood factor that I know I can analyze these markets and make sound decisions and do well, you know, that’s you, you. Sean Tepper You, yeah. You just hit on the, the number one thing our customers care about like in and this will give you and your audience a little moment for me when I first created TYKR, especially the Excel sheet, I was all about getting better returns. I’m like, well, if Warren and Charlie can do it, I can do it. Sean Tepper Well, when I went live, that was my focus. But then after talking to a few customers, I’m like, they don’t agree with that. There’s actually something more important. And fast forward, I probably talked to a few thousand customers by this point over five years, and the number one thing they care about is confidence. Now, having confidence to literally do it on your own. Sean Tepper That is the home run. Feeling that supersedes, you know, getting good returns any day. Like people sleep better at night. Just knowing that, Shawn, I, I can do this on my own. That is what I’m looking for. I’m like home. So we even though the returns in tech are good, like, we actually lean into confidence. Like how do we give people more confidence is actually the bigger priority now. Andrew Mitchem Yeah, yeah, I, I fully get it. You know, we’ve been operating since 2009. Come on, Ryan, the Ryan run around the world in 111 countries and the same thing we we asked people, we, of course, you know, want to know why people join. And then we follow up after three months, six months, year, two years and keep asking people it’s the community and that knowledge of knowing what you’re doing for yourself, to have that control with low risk and, you know, really good outcomes. Andrew Mitchem But up here and then I say to people, trade any trading into, investments is emotion, isn’t it? Your head in your heart. You have to control those two. And what we’re doing is providing platforms or education platforms to allow people to fulfill that, that dream successfully and safely. Sean Tepper Yep, yep. Andrew Mitchem So it’s huge. Yeah. We can have all the AI and all the risks, all the all these flash gadgets, but ultimately it still comes back to that human wanting to have confidence in what they’re doing with their own money. Sean Tepper That’s it. Yeah. Andrew Mitchem And no. And also not just handing it over to someone as well. I think it’s important. Sean Tepper They add it and it’s actually you’re kind of alluding to this. It’s in people’s best interest to let’s say AI does 90% of the work. You want to be the person you want the human being finishing that process? Yeah. Because they, they ultimately it’s it’s better for them from an educational standpoint and from an, confidence standpoint, like they should know what was done. Sean Tepper But now, I control things. I get to execute the trade. Yes. You know, that’s right, that you want people to have that power at the end of the day. 60,000 stocks analyzed Andrew Mitchem Absolutely. And the, your software obviously does a lot of analysis just to give myself and viewers and listeners a ballpark figure. What kind of number of stocks is it kind of looking at and analyzing? Sean Tepper Sure. Okay. Yeah. So we’ve got about 60,000 stocks in TYKR around the world’s. We are up. Yeah. We’re upgrading. They’ll get this in the next month or two. We’re switching our data provider. So we’re going to have in the states real time pricing. You will have 15 minute delay. But then we’re going to have actually I can’t guarantee all stocks around the world, but most that’ll bring us closer to about 75,000 stocks around the world. Sean Tepper And then we’ll also have most ETFs around the world, which I think is closer to about 10,000. I could following in that Bow Wow. Yeah. No wonder. Andrew Mitchem They need analysis software that. Sean Tepper Yeah, right, right. It’s what we do. We run into circumstances when people, you know, they’ll join from a smaller country and they’ll be like, hey, you don’t have any stocks from our country. Winner may arriving. So it’s a lot of those requests and it’s like we knew we had to get to this point eventually. Yeah. But yeah. But then you just give transparency. Sean Tepper We’re looking at Finn Hub is, the data provider that will help us get, the more stocks and ETFs around the world. Andrew Mitchem Wow. So when you see your clients in 50 countries, if, for example, someone was here in New Zealand and they don’t want to be, and 2:00 in the morning to trade the US markets, they could be trading like the Australasian markets. Yeah. So your software. Sean Tepper Absolutely. Yep. Andrew Mitchem Oh, fantastic. That’s really good. Yeah. That, that’s blowing my way. That number. One thing as a currency trader, there’s like about eight main currencies. And so that makes, hence why there’s nothing like this for the forex market. I’m guessing because we can look at charts and read a bit of news and kind of make your analysis voice your, the information. Andrew Mitchem Someone out there with that. Your software is almost got an impossible task. Sean Tepper Yeah. We I was just checking here in tick or how many stocks from New Zealand. We’ve got a little over 187. So, do you know I like the I assume it’s the new New Zealand Stock Exchange. Andrew Mitchem Yes. In Wellington. Nice. Sean Tepper Got it. Do you know how many stocks they have? Andrew Mitchem No. I’m not, I’m purely forex. I honestly don’t know. Sean Tepper Okay. No no worries. But we’ll hopefully fin Hub will be able to get us most from from your exchange. Yeah. But that’s just a good example of like absolutely. You know we again we get a lot of people from random countries like, hey, can you add more stocks from our country? It’s like, yeah, absolutely. We’re we’re on it. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Well, and also it’s purely that time of day thing, isn’t it. Because the you know, I suppose I get used to forex which is 24 hours a day. It doesn’t matter where you live in your world, you can trade it in cryptos obviously seven days a week now as well. But when you’re talking US stocks, they are, you know, for someone on my side of the world, some quite awkward trading hours. Andrew Mitchem So what you’re providing now would allow me to trade some of the the Japanese stocks, I’m guessing. Oh, and then the Australian ones using the ones now that you mentioned. So you really do open up your product to being truly a global, tool for people. Sean Tepper Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Andrew Mitchem That’s awesome. Sean, anything else you want to add about what we’ve not covered, about what you can help people with? Sean Tepper Yeah. Knowing that you’re more in the trading world and we’re more investing, I have to say this one detail, which is we do have about 10% of our customers are traders, give or take, and they’ll use TYKR as their starting points. You’re like, hey, let’s see. You’ve got like 100 ideas out there. Well, they’ll use TYKR to narrow it down from 100 down to ten. Sean Tepper Yeah. So that’s one main use case. It’s kind of like the short AI, as it’s been described to me. Is the short list creator TYKRs, the short list for like for traders. So so yeah, I want to add that tidbit as some people are like, well I’m not really into best thing. It’s like, you don’t have to be. Sean Tepper You can just use the tool to, narrow down your search. So I’ve selected one use case. Andrew Mitchem Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. That’s kind of how I was thinking about potentially using it as well. It’s like, makes a lot of sense to do all that, that work and get it down to something more manageable. Right? Yeah. Contact Sean Andrew Mitchem And what’s the best way that someone can contact you to find out more, about what you offer? Andrew Mitchem Sure. Well, how would. Sean Tepper They add, two ways to get in touch with, TYKR or myself? You can just go to tykr.com. That’s TYKR, tykr.com. And then, I’m really active on LinkedIn. Sean Tepper, Sean is spelled the Sean Connery way. Andrew Mitchem Yes. This with the voice. Sean Tepper Yeah. I wish I had strong Scottish voice. Yes. Andrew Mitchem Awesome. Hey, Sean, we’ll put links, of course, up here as well. And we will be sharing this in around the website and social media as well, so people can contact you finding a link here as well. It’s been awesome talking to you. I’ve learned a lot about the market. I don’t know a huge amount, and it’s fascinating to hear what you do and how, you know, you going to make it from when you mentioned 60, it still blew me away. Andrew Mitchem That number, from a ridiculous number of, stocks to help to analyze something in a, in a more simplified way. So, awesome to speak to you. Thank you. Your product looks amazing. I will be trying it. And, Yeah, look forward to it as well. Sean Tepper Thanks, Andrew. This is great. Andrew Mitchem Awesome. Thanks, Sean. Bye for now.
