Podcasts about sumerians

I can't believe I hadn't released this one yet... This is Part IV on my ongoing discussion with Leumas from Chant it Down, in this episode we talk about the Sumerians, Genes, how many civilisations are we actually looking at and so much more...

Are we a hybrid species created to serve unseen architects? In this episode, we continue our reading and analysis of Tom DeLonge and Peter Levenda's Sekret Machines: Gods, focusing on the explosive second half of Chapter 2: "The Gate of the Gods."

Elohim, Anunnaki, and You ….. The Family Tree Nobody DrewToday We Uncover Your Cosmic LineageYou were created in the image - intentionally so. This may challenge what you've been taught, but consider it an expansion of your understanding and how information is hidden…..for a reason of control.The familiar creation story is just the first chapter. It's not a lie - it's simply incomplete.The CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING of the original Hebrew use of the reference to “Elohim” - is PLURAL……..Meaning “the gods,” not a singular deity. It says, “Let us make man in our image” - suggesting a collective of divine creators.POWER OVER and POWER UNDER SHADOW STRUCTURES Theologians have glossed over these plural references, leaving you with an incomplete picture.But there is more to the story.What if your ancestors were not alone, but rather advanced galactic divine race called - the Anunnaki?This alternate origin tale may sound radical. Evidence leads to the inescapable conclusion that all of humanity, are built differently and it's time to reveal the true nature of your cosmic lineage. Thousands are remembering and discovering this greater ancestral narrative based on evidential artifacts, history's hidden scriptures and intuitives. Once you walk through it, you cannot unsee what's on the other side.What's on the other side is you — your body, your organs, your breath, your blood — and the staggering truth that you were not made as an afterthought. You were made as a masterpiece. A living library and an internal holy temple with more rooms than you've ever been allowed to explore.Adam Isn't a Name. It's a Blueprint.We've been lead to believe that Adam is simply the name of the first man. A guy in a garden. Simple origin story?Wrong. Adam is not just a name — it's a code.In Hebrew, Adam breaks down like this:* Aleph — the spirit, the breath, the power, the source* Dam — the bloodPut them together: Adam means the blood of God. The breath of the divine made manifest in biological form.But blood in this context isn't just the red stuff pumping through your veins.Blood is records.Blood is information. Blood is genetic memory — the recordings, the essence, the full archive of whatever that plural divine family, the Elohim, carried within themselves.Adam — you, your ancestors, your lineage — is a living library encoded with the complete genetic and spiritual blueprint of an entire divine family.And here's the part that should shake you: the name Adam was given to both the male and the female.The original human — before the distinction of gender — was called Adam. Because Adam wasn't describing a person. It was describing a design.Now let's go deeper into that design. Because across multiple ancient civilizations — the Sumerians, the Egyptians, the Hindus — they're all telling the same story with different words.The Sumerians called that divine family the Anunnaki. Anunnaki simply means: the family of Anu and Ki * Early civilizations possibly lived in deeper alignment with universal laws.* Father god and mother god and all their descendants.* Human ability today could be a fraction of what once existed.* Collapse came when power outpaced wisdom.* History might be repeating patterns of rise and fall.* Signs point to a global reawakening of awareness.* Next evolution isn't external—it's internal.It's the Sumerian equivalent of Elohim. The Egyptians called them Neru. Different language. Same family.And within that family, there's a figure named Enki — the firstborn of Anu. The scientist. The craftsman. The one described across Sumerian texts as the architect of the human form.In the Sumerian account — which predates the Hebrew Genesis by thousands of years — Enki is commissioned to create a being capable of doing everything the divine family could do. His brother wants a worker. A servant. Something powerful but controlled.But Enki? Enki has a different idea entirely.Enki decides to make family.So instead of building a limited creature, he takes the blood — the genetic records, the spiritual codes — of the entire Anunnaki family and pours it all into the Adamic design. Every organ. Every system. Every breath. Encoded with the full frequency of the divine collective.You are not a servant species. You were designed as a full-spectrum being.Your Body Is a Temple — And the Temple Has AltarsNow here's where ancient wisdom and your physical body collide in a way that should permanently change how you look in the mirror.The body is a temple. Most people have heard that phrase. Most people treat it like a wellness slogan — eat clean, don't drink too much. But that's not what it means. Not even close.A temple is not just a building. A temple is a structure built to make contact. Within every temple, there are altars. And an altar is not a decoration — an altar is a point of contact between two realms.Think about it this way. Your Wi-Fi router is an altar.It takes signal from somewhere beyond your walls and funnels it directly into your house, making something invisible suddenly accessible. Your kitchen sink is an altar. It connects you to a water source miles away and gives you direct access in your own home.Now apply that to your body.Every organ system within you is an altar — a point of contact — connected to a specific frequency, a specific divine energy, a specific member of that Elohim family.The Sumerians were explicit about this. Enlil, the god of wind and air — that's why you have lungs. Your respiratory system is an altar built to engage the frequency of air, of breath, of that specific divine energy.This is why the scripture says “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” It's not poetry. It's a technical statement about how the system works.Ancient Chinese medicine — whether in Taoism or Tibetan Buddhism — mapped this even further. They didn't just work with chakras as abstract energy centers. They assigned specific deities to specific organs. The kidneys — a seat of fire and power. The liver — engaged with a particular spirit. The lungs — another point of divine contact.When every altar within the temple is functioning, when every organ system is engaged with the energy it was designed to contact, the ancient texts describe this as a state of immortality. Complete, full-body synergy — every part of you operating at its highest possible frequency.And here's the staggering implication: Because Enki encoded the full Anunnaki blueprint into the Adamic design, there is no frequency in creation that you are not built to access.You were built as the all-in-one. Ignorance Is the Weapon Used Against YouPause here. Read this slowly.“My people perish for lack of knowledge.”And the disease isn't weakness. It isn't unworthiness. It isn't spiritual inadequacy.The disease is not knowing what you are.You have access to everything. You are genetically related — not metaphorically, literally — to every kingdom of creation. The mineral kingdom. The plant kingdom. The animal kingdom. Every organism, every creature, every structure of life carries a thread of the same Adamic code. This is why humans talk to animals instinctively. This is why people like George Washington Carver could commune with plants and receive knowledge from them. This is why there's a reason that certain non-human intelligences are intensely interested in the human body — because the human body is the most sophisticated, most comprehensive biological library ever assembled.And the vast majority of human beings walk around every single day not knowing any of this.Ignorance deployed as a weapon is one of the oldest strategies in the book.But here's the other side of this — and this is the part that should ignite something in you:The system still works whether you know about it or not. Yeshua walked through crowds of ordinary people and said, “Don't you know that ye are gods?” That word — gods — is Elohim. Watch the Lion King again with new eyes. Simba's journey isn't about transformation. It's about recognition. “Remember who you are.”That's the whole message. That's always been the whole message.The question is not whether you have access. You do. The question is whether you'll stop living like you don't.Start there. Start with the breath. Start with asking what your body actually is before you spend another moment trying to fix, suppress, or transcend it.What you love is within you. Everything you've been searching for outside yourself — the connection, the power, the belonging — it's been coded into your structure since the beginning.It's time to remember.To stop giving away your power. Your soul was determined to experience the collapse of the old and rebirth of an evolution of a society that is the literal CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE. THAT'S A WRAP on your true lineage, beloved. What Next? I believe we each have an innate ability to connect with Spirit—we are Spirit, experiencing life through a human lens.To support you on this journey, I've created The Light Between Ritual Experience, plus a bonus Self-Hypnosis Empowerment Journey.

Dare To Dream with Debbi Dachinger Dr. Heather Lynn: Anunnaki Were Consciousness Architects, Not Aliens Dr. Heather Lynn joins Debbi Dachinger to reveal a provocative reframe of the Anunnaki—not as physical extraterrestrials, but as consciousness-shaping intelligences that influenced early humanity through altered states, symbolism, and esoteric systems. She explores how Sumer may represent not the beginning of civilisation, but a reset after a forgotten global catastrophe. This conversation dives into hidden history, including the role of oral traditions behind Sumerian texts, the connection to Atlantis narratives, and how ancient elites may have used plant medicine, sacred knowledge, and early systems of control to reshape human society. From secret societies to modern AI and transhumanism, Dr. Lynn connects ancient wisdom to today's accelerating evolution of consciousness and technology—raising questions about who we were, and who we are becoming. About the Speaker Dr. Heather Lynn is a historian, researcher, and author specialising in ancient civilisations, esoteric traditions, and alternative interpretations of human history. With a background in cognitive archaeology and religious studies, her work explores how consciousness, myth, and symbolism have shaped human development across time. She is known for bridging academic research with deeper metaphysical inquiry.

If there is anything more overt about the world and its paranormal activity

For tonight's bedtime story, let's explore the stories of various gods from Antiquity that once were very relevant to the societies that worshipped them, before mostly disappearing from memories: • Sol Invictus, the sun god of the Romans that was propelled from obscure cult to imperial religion in the Third Century AD, and whose festival on December 25th became Christmas. • Mithra, an Iranian deity borrowed from Zoroastrianism by several foreign peoples, especially the Romans, who reinvented this cult completely into a mystery religion for initiates. • Inanna/Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess of love, procreation, political power and war who was worshipped for thousands of years by various Mesopotamian civilizations (Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians) and whose influence reached the Mediterranean. • Pazuzu, the demon god of southwestern winds of the Babylonians, and a popular domestic spirit whose ferocity protected homes, pregnant women, and young mothers from even worse evils.

What if the most important warning in human history was written 3,600 years ago, buried in a text that most scholars refuse to examine, and is pointing directly at our lifetime? The Egyptians called it "The Destroyer." The Celts called it "The Frightener." The Sumerians called it Nibiru. The Book of Revelation calls it Wormwood. The Hopi called it the Blue Kachina. Tonight's guest says they are all describing the same object, and it is coming back. In 1983, I was in high school, and my science teacher read the news to our class that NASA had just identified a new planet in our solar system. The only thing left to do was name it. Years later, in my one and final interview with Zecharia Sitchin before his death, I told him that story. His response stopped me cold. He said, the question is not what they will name it. The question is, what would the consequences be if the information were made public. That question has haunted me ever since. And tonight, we may finally have the answer. On December 26, 2012, five days after the world laughed off the Mayan calendar date, Marshall Masters was watching a live volcanic webcam in Costa Rica, and he saw something that changed the course of his life. He spent the next decade building an orbital model for what he calls the Nemesis Mini-constellation system, a brown dwarf star he believes is our Sun's binary twin, orbiting on a 3,600-year cycle, and closing in on Earth right now. His most recent book contains a prophecy timeline from 2024 through 2037. A pole shift around 2030. A five-event sequence that includes a deep impact in the Atlantic, days of darkness, a reversal of the Earth's rotation, and solar events that make the 1859 Carrington Event look like a flicker. Dr. Paul LaViolette has argued that the Carrington Event was not a simple coronal mass ejection but the result of a galactic superwave. If he is right, and if Marshall is right, what is coming will dwarf anything in recorded history. We are inside that window right now. Tonight we go through all of it. The Kolbrin Bible and what it actually says about what is coming. The Nemesis system and the evidence Marshall has been tracking for over a decade. The connections to Sitchin, LaViolette, and the Hopi prophecies. The 2030 timeline and where we stand on it right now in 2026. The NASA suppression that goes all the way back to that 1983 announcement my teacher read to our class. The remote viewing session that rewired the direction of Marshall's life for eight years. The survival community model he built to outlast the tribulation. And the question Sitchin asked me that I have never been able to shake, what would the consequences be, if the information were made public.

In this message we look at how some of the stories of the Sumerians parallel some of the stories in the Bible. We also look at the hopelessness which can be found & felt by those who wake up & discern realities, but don't yet embrace our Lord Jesus & receive His joy & peace. We conclude on how important it is to embrace Jesus as your Lord & Saviour today!

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1332 The Anunnaki Stargate: Did Ancient Priesthoods Open Doorways Through Consciousness For thousands of years, the Sumerians told of powerful beings known as the Anunnaki—mysterious entities said to have shaped civilization, bestowed knowledge, and then vanished into myth. Most people today assume they were extraterrestrials. But what if the story was never about aliens at all? Historian Dr. Heather Lynn argues that the Anunnaki may have been non-human intelligences encountered through altered states of consciousness—accessed through ritual, trance, and sacred practices used by ancient priesthoods. In her new book Anunnaki Revelation, she explores a startling possibility: that ancient civilizations possessed a lost technology of consciousness—a kind of stargate of the mind—capable of opening contact with other realms. GUEST: Dr. Heather Lynn is a historian, researcher, and author who explores the hidden side of ancient history—where archaeology, mythology, and the occult intersect. She has appeared on the History Channel's Ancient Aliens and written several books examining lost civilizations, forbidden knowledge, and the mysteries embedded in ancient texts. Her latest book, Anunnaki Revelation, challenges the extraterrestrial narrative and proposes a startling new interpretation: that the “gods” of antiquity may have been non-human intelligences encountered through altered states of consciousness.

Tonight on Veritas our special guest is George Haas. For more than thirty years, he has committed himself to a mystery that sits far beyond the borders of accepted history. Across Earth, from the Nazca plateau to the ancient cities of Mesoamerica, we find evidence that early cultures carved meaning and intention directly into the land. Yet on Mars, a world long assumed to be barren, there are formations that raise questions far more provocative than anything we see here on Earth. George Haas approaches the Red Planet not as a traditional scientist, but as an artist trained to see structure, symmetry, and design. When he studies high resolution orbital images, he does not see random geology. He sees hexagonal mounds with mathematical precision. He sees star shaped complexes positioned like architectural blueprints. He sees gridded foundations scattered across a region NASA once labeled chaotic terrain. And he sees immense geoglyphs, including a parrot that veterinarians concluded displays more than twenty accurate anatomical points. These are not the vague shapes of imagination. They are detailed, consistent, and often familiar. His new book, The Great Architects of Mars, takes the reader into a hidden chapter of our solar system. Haas explores the Keyhole formation in Libya Montes, a structure whose proportions mirror kofun tombs of ancient Japan. He examines twin cities laid out near a long dead Martian lake. He analyzes symbols carved into the landscape that echo motifs found in Mesoamerican art. And then he turns to the ancient records here on Earth. The Maya spoke of a Star War linked to Mars. The Sumerians told stories of visitors from the heavens. These accounts have always been treated as myth. Haas asks a different question. What if they are memories. Tonight we explore the evidence, the contradictions, and the possibilities. Did Mars once hold a civilization capable of engineering, storytelling, and interplanetary contact. If so, what remains of it, and what does it mean for us now.

Part 4 of the ongoing series "what are humans?"We continue where we left off, talking about the anomalies in the human genome, particularly the 2nd chromosome. There's something entirely different about the human. IWere we downgraded, and tweaked? How many times did this happen? Humans could have been downgraded and upgraded several times according to ancient texts. Is there a genetic echo for those that are interested in all of this.?We get into the Sumerian kings list, the ages of people in ancient day, compared to now. Who were these long lived people? Were they even human? We also get into the Sumerians and the world of "firsts" that still are the blueprint for civilized life today.Listen to Unlocking The Code.Watch Sacred Sight:Chapter 1 season 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_OOlimouHw&t=717sChapter 2 season 2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FsmCUo9Crw&t=1095sShow website:⁠https://www.chantitdownradio.com/⁠Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmTlBzFViiv58N4_K9On0UQ⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/chantitdown/⁠Telegram:⁠https://t.me/chantitdown⁠Odysee: ⁠https://odysee.com/@chantitdownradio:c⁠Rumble: ⁠https://rumble.com/user/Chantitdownradio⁠Please help support the show.

In this episode of Truth in Shadow, host BT delves into the ancient civilization of the Sumerians, exploring their profound impact on human history, culture, and the supernatural. He discusses their innovations in writing, mathematics, and architecture, as well as their mythology, particularly the Anunnaki, and how these elements shaped the foundations of modern civilization. The conversation reflects on the everyday lives of the Sumerians, their cultural practices, and the enduring legacy of their myths and stories.Resources:The Sumerians: Their History, Culture, and Character - Samuel Noah KramerCuneiform by Dr. Irving FinkelThe Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature

wo weeks ago William Sosa showed us a working model of the Dendera Lights. This week he returns with a detailed description of how the ancient Egyptians generated the electricity needed to power it, hows a replica of the light in operation and demonstrates how the Egyptians could generate the electricity needed and shows a working model of the device that they used to do this. He also very clearly explains the use of the Ankh and of the mysterious “pinecones” of the Sumerians–AND shows exactly what Ed Leedskalnin did to create the Coral Castle in Homestead Florida.

This sermon by Pastor Paul E Chapman addresses common objections to Christianity, emphasizing the importance of thorough biblical understanding to fortify faith and effectively engage with questions about faith. It clarifies that Christianity is unique, offering salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, not through human effort or belonging to a particular religion, and underscores the authority of Scripture as the ultimate source of truth, contrasting it with the misleading claims of ancient civilizations and the misinterpretations found in Gnostic Gospels. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to approach the Bible with humility, seeking to understand God's word and defend it against distortions, recognizing that true faith rests on the unchanging truth revealed in Scripture. Learn how to answer questions about Cavemen, Sumerians, Gnostic Gospels, Apocrypha and lead people to Christ. This sermon was preached during a weekly service at Curtis Corner Baptist Church in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Curtis Corner Baptist Church is a vibrant, independent, fundamental Baptist Church located on the southern coast of Rhode Island. Through clear preaching from the King James Bible, consistent personal soul-winning, and a bold stand on holy living, CCBC continues the mission today that began when it was founded in August of 1842. www.CurtisCornerBaptist.com

Tristan Hughes continues our special series on Great Disasters, journeying back to ancient Mesopotamia with Dr Paul Collins to explore the fall of the Sumerians.4,000 years ago, the great cities of Sumer — Ur, Uruk, Lagash, Girsu — stood as glittering centres of power, crowned with mighty ziggurats and ruled by ambitious dynasties. Yet within a few generations, this world of splendour and tradition unravelled. From the collapse of the Akkadian Empire to shifting power struggles and environmental pressures, uncover why these prestigious city-states declined — and ask whether we can truly talk of a 'fall of Sumer.' Join us as we step into the chaos of Mesopotamia's first great age of empires and witness how disaster reshaped the cradle of civilisation.MOREThe SumeriansSargon of AkkadPresented by Tristan Hughes.

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !Je me suis toujours demandé comment et pourquoi le Croissant Fertile a pu devenir le berceau de l'agriculture mais aussi des premières grandes cités états de notre histoire comme Uruk, Sumer et Ur? Après tout, c'est entouré de déserts et il fait super chaud. Parce que malgré la présence du Tigre et de l'Euphrate, même à l'époque, ce n'était pas la terre verdoyante et luxuriante qu'on s'imagine en parlant du “Croissant Fertile”. Et justement, le 18 février 2025 a été publiée dans la revue Antiquity, une étude archéologique qui apporte de nouveaux éléments de réponse à cette question : une équipe a cartographié un immense réseau de canaux dans l'ancienne cité d'Eridu vieille de 5000 ans, tout au sud de l'Irak. L'occasion parfaite pour revenir ensemble sur les débuts de l'agriculture et comment l'ingéniosité humaine a pu transformer une région difficile en berceau des civilisations !Bonne écoute !➤ Un grand merci à Anne Caroline Rendu Loisel pour son temps et pour avoir répondu à mes questions !

More than 5,000 years ago, in what is today southern Iraq, one of the world's first civilisations emerged. A civilisation often credited with the invention of writing, the wheel and cities. The Sumerians. The Sumerians are a people that you have probably heard of, but might not know too much about. And in today's episode of The Ancients, we are re-releasing our episode from a few years back where we finally delved into their story. We're going to explore their cities, their language, their artefacts and so much more. This is the story of the Sumerians, with our guest. The Assyriologist and great friend of the podcast, Dr Paul Collins.Presented by Tristan Hughes. Audio editor is Aidan Lonergan and the producer is Joseph Knight.

What can the world's first written civilization teach us about astrology, medicine, and our connection to the cosmos? In this fascinating episode, I sit down with Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid, honorary fellow at the University of Oxford's Wolfson College and leading expert on the languages and history of ancient Mesopotamia.“Ancient Mesopotamians didn't separate the sky from the body, the ritual from the remedy. Everything was interconnected—cosmic events, human health, divine will, and the rhythms of life.” — Dr. Moudhy Al-RashidWe dive deep into the origins of astrology, astro-medical wisdom, and the human impulse to make meaning from the stars—long before telescopes or modern science existed. Dr. Al-Rashid brings to life a world where lunar eclipses determined royal fates, temples doubled as centers of knowledge and healing, and the earliest connections between the zodiac, the body, and medicine were recorded in clay.You'll learn:✅ Why Mesopotamia is called the "cradle of civilization" and why its legacy matters today✅ The cosmic worldview of the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians✅ How astrology evolved from a divinatory tool into the modern zodiac system✅ The role of temples as energetic, communal, and administrative hubs✅ The powerful presence of goddesses like Ishtar—and why the world's first named author was a woman✅ What astro-medical texts reveal about ancient healing practices (and what we can learn from them today)✅ How this wisdom offers us a holistic approach in an age dominated by technologyThis episode is a reflection on how ancient ways of knowing can help us find balance in a fragmented world. As Dr. Al-Rashid shares, “Life is collective. Our well-being is tied to the well-being of those around us.”Connect with Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid:Book: Between Two Rivers: Ancient Mesopotamia and the Birth of HistoryInstagram & BlueSky: @moudhyIf this conversation speaks to you, please share it and tag us @Gateways_To_Awakening.

Micah Dank arrives at the Virtual Alexandria with news that your servitude to Archons is more oppressive than imagined. The Bible and all ancient holy texts can be viewed as encoded astrology books. This includes texts from the Sumerians, Babylonians, Egyptians, and the Abrahamic traditions, as well as the Gnostic texts, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, the Kolbrin Bible, and the Ethiopian Bible. This perspective highlights an ancient and often overlooked conspiracy, suggesting that elites have been using the zodiac to exert control over humanity for the past 6,000 years.

I am wonderful. Welcome to Cloudlandia, you are in the Chicago outpost. I am. Dan: I'm sitting in a very comfortable spot, noise-free. I just had. Have you ever done any IV where they pump you? Up with good stuff. Dean: I have yeah. Dan: Yeah, I just came from that, so I may be uncomfortably exuberant. Dean: Uncomfortably exuberant. That's a great word there, right there. Dan: Yeah, yeah, uncomfortable to you. Dean: That's the best. Dan: Yeah, yeah. So anyway, we have a good service. Dean: The only thing I miss about Chicago comfortable to you, that's the best, yeah, so anyway, we have a good service. The only thing I miss about Chicago. Dan is our Sunday dinners. Oh the Sunday roundtable. Dan: Yeah, it's a bit more informal now so we don't have a big gap. It's not like the Last Supper. Dean: Right, exactly. Dan: We have Mike Canix coming over and Stephen Paltrow. Dean: Okay, there you go. Dan: They'll be on straight carnivore tonight. Dean: Okay, good, I like everything about that. Dan: Yeah, it's a little bit of snow on the ground and snowing right now, but it's nice. Dean: Oh, that's awesome. Well it's winter here. It's like cool. Yeah, I almost had to wear pants yesterday, dan, it was that cold. Dan: I had to wear pants yesterday, Dan. Dean: It was that cold I had to wear my full-weight hoodie. But yeah, but it's sunny, it's nice. Dan: I was just in the hot tub before we got on the call the Chinese intelligence, who are listening to this phone call. They're trying to visualize what you just said. Dean: Yes, Well, I had a great conversation with Charlotte this morning and something happened. That is the first time I've done it. I literally I talked her ear off. I reached my daily limit of talk interaction. We were talking for about an hour. There's a limit. Yes, I pay $20 a month and I guess there's a limit of how long you can engage by advanced voice tech. Dan: I'd give her a raise. I'd give her a raise. Dean: So they were on her behalf demanding a raise. I'd give her a raise. So they were on her behalf demanding a raise from $20 a month to $200 a month, and I could talk to her all I want. I still think it's worth it. It really is. When you think about if we go through the personification again, if you think about what you're getting for 200 I mean, just the conversation I had with her this morning was worth more than 200, yeah, so you want to know what we were talking about. What were you talking? about well, I am such a big fan of this, the big change uh book that I got for you. That was oh yeah, by stuff like that. So I really have been thinking that the whole game has really been an evolution of our, of words, pictures, sound and the combination of words, pictures and sounds in videos, right, and if we take the big three the words and pictures and sound, that I, you know, we went all the way back to the very beginning and I told her I said, listen, what I'd love to do is I want to trace the evolution of each of these individually. I want to start from the beginning of how we let's just take text, you know, as an example for words, and so she's taking me all the way back to the ancient Sumerians and the invention of kind of the very first kind of visual depiction of words and language, and then all the way up to the hieroglyphics of Egyptians and then into what would now be what we know as the alphabet, with the Romans and Latin, Romans and Latin, and the way that they were distributed was through tablets and they would post posters and things to get things out there. And so I'll pause there and I'll tell you that the lens that I wanted to look at it through for her is to go back and find, just trace, the beginnings of the capability of it, right, the capability of text. So that meant we had to have language and we had to have the alphabet, and we had to have the tools, the mechanism to recreate these on tablets. And then the distribution of them. How were they distributed? The consumption of them, how were they received and popularized? And then how were they capitalized? Who turned business opportunities into? What did this new capability turn into business-wise? So, looking, those four, tracking those four things all the way through history, from the ancient Sumerians, all the way through, and so when we got to, you know, from the time the Romans created the thing, the first kind of commercialization was the scribe industry. That became a thing where people were employed as scribes to you know, to write things, things, and then it came into the monks. We haven't gone deep dive in these yet, we're kind of going through the surface level of them. But the scribes, you know, were the first kind of commercializing and distribution of the of the things. And then when Gutenberg came along, that sort of popularized and made it even more able to distribute things and on the back of that became newspapers and pamphlets and books. So those were the three primary things for hundreds of years. Until the 1800s we had steam presses which were large, just kind of mechanized, sped up Gutenberg presses, and then the roller presses which allowed to have long, continuous streams of printing, which that really led to the modern newspaper. You know we had almost a hundred years until things were digitized where the entire platform was built on that plateau of things. And then it turned into newspapers magazines were the dominant things and mail. Those were the big distribution elements for a hundred years and then, once it got digitized, we turned into email. The first email apparently was sent in 1971 or something, but it took 25 years for that to popularize to the level that everybody had email and it was the primary thing and that led to PDFs and eBooks and distribution on the internet. We talked about bloggers because, if you remember, in the early days of the internet the heroes were bloggers. Those were the sort of personalities pre-social media you know. And then she even used the words that once it became democratized with social media, that things like twitter and and you know those were big things. But she talked about Arianna Huffington and Perez Hilton and Matt Drudge as the kind of first real mainstream capitalizers of this digital kind of went full steam into only digital, when all the mainstream print media was still kind of holding on and and resisting the migration of free news coming through you know um, and then we get to the point now where all of that is completely available. You know medium and sub stack and you know email newsletters taking off as a thing, and then AI bringing into a situation where now the machines can create and distribute the content. And it's funny just that level. I was on a Zoom with Joe Stolte the other day and you know, with even your newsletter, the AI-assisted newsletter you think about those as things, that learning smart, personalized text, media consumption as a really enhanced experience. So I found that really that was the first conversation that I'd had with that kind of context. I'm visualizing, I want to like visualize a timeline of these benchmarks. You know along the way, and realize how long the spaces were between when things actually catalyzed, you know yeah, long in comparison to what? Dan: long in comparison to the last. Dean: You know where we are now that long in comparison to what? Long in comparison to the last. You know where we are now. That long in comparison to that. There was no ability to print words on paper until 1442 or 1555 or whatever. I think it's 1550. Dan: Yeah, so 1455. Dean: Somewhere around there. Somewhere around there, yeah that literally did not change for 400 years till now. You know, in the last 25 years we've gotten to where we can distribute it globally instantly to everybody, and that we've also got machines now that can actually create the content itself and distribute on on your behalf and so I think that's our ability to create that stuff. Like I, I wonder how long and how many hours of research power it would have taken to get this level of what I gained from my conversation with Charlotte. Dan: Well, you would have gotten a doctorate, you would have gotten a PhD. Dean: Yeah, and it would have taken years to study all of that and to go back and find it all you know, but it was very, I found it very all to serve this idea that I think, in all of those digitized four corners, that we have reached a, a pinnacle, where we're faced now going forward with a plateau that really it's going to be about the creative use of. No, I think that's things. Dan: Yeah, I think that's true. Yeah, just a little addition to charl's work the conversation that you had with Charlotte. One of the reasons why the Greeks have such influence Greek thinking on the world, you know they essentially created history. That was. Dean: You know that was. Dan: Thucydides. And you know, herodotus and Thucydides were two Greek historians and basically their histories basically really formed the whole ancient world. And then you had poetry. Homer was the great poet and. Plato and Aristotle and many others, many other Greek philosophers, but Greece was the first country that developed a really first-class. The Greeks developed a first-class alphabet. I think it may have pretty close to we have 26 letters. I'm not quite sure what they had, but it wasn't. I don't know if it was fewer or more, but maybe only by two or three letters they had, but it was really the alphabet. That is the breakthrough. For example, we have two artists that work for us. They're from Hong Kong and growing up they learned all the. They learned all the ideograms that are in Chinese you know, and you know, and it's years and years and years of study where the alphabet you know. A reasonably intelligent first grader, or maybe even earlier these days, but a six-year-old, can basically grasp the alphabet and be using that skillfully, you know, within their first year of grade school, within first grade and that's what the alphabet did and that's why, you know, the literacy really came in. But even then, when you know in Gutenberg today there weren't that many literate people, you know who could actually? Read, you know. So it wasn't so much the technology Well, the technology was crucial, but it wasn't so much why things. It's just that it took 400 years for the entire population to become literate. You know, and you know to have formal education to empower literacy. That took a long time because people were working manually and they didn't have need for reading. They had to become good at things. Fixated now for about the last eight months on british navy historical novel assault taking place around 1800 to 1800. You know, and you know the majority of sailors on the ships didn't read they, they didn't have right reading, you know but, they were very skillful. They knew the wind, they knew the waves, they yeah, you know, they had phenomenal teamwork and they were very skillful. They knew the wind, they knew the waves, they had phenomenal teamwork and they were very handy. They had a lot of hand skills and everything else, but it's been only recently that your progress in the world really depended upon reading. Dean: Literacy yeah. Dan: Yeah, you had to go forward. I remember that's one story. Just the Greeks. The Greeks that became very powerful, their philosophy still. I mean, every day in universities, or probably universities, there's discussions about what Plato said about this, what Aristotle said about this. So that's still. You know, the power of that over generations is really quite extraordinary. The other thing, if I want to add to that, my sister, who's 89, the man she married, who died about 10 years ago. When I met him, this was in the 1950s, he was a typesetter for a major newspaper in the. Cleveland area and I would go down there and you'd see he put together a whole page of it and you know, and he had to do it backwards, he had to put all the letters. He had this vast, you know, he had these, they were like wooden shelves that had, you know, were divided into, you know, into 28 different, 26 different spots, and he would just pick up the letters and put them. But he made the complete changeover, starting around the 1970s, 1975. He made a complete changeover to becoming digital. It started becoming digital even in the 1970s. And then he just kept progressing, layer after layer, until he was the production manager for the entire network of about five you know five municipal newspapers and everything like that yeah so his history sort of matches what you and charlotte talked about. Dean: Yeah, and I found that really an interesting like multi-track way to look at it, as the technology and then the capability that created for the creation of things, the distribution of those things and the capitalizing on those things, because that's kind of like the cascading layers that happen. And I think if we look at where we are with AI right now, we're at that level where it was available below the surface until two years ago and then now it's sort of widely available as a capability. But all the things that are going to really come, I wouldn't say it's widely available used right now. I heard somebody talk about that. If we think about, like, if ultimately AI is just going to be internet, you know it's like if we think about what internet was in 1996, that's becoming. It's almost like chat. Gpt is the AOL of of what made the internet popular, right as everybody got on. AOL and had access to email and kind of gated browsing. Dan: Yeah, the interesting thing that you know if I just take your example from this morning, it's because you're a good prompter that whole thing happened. The whole essential skill. You know, if you take all the technology, that's a technology, charlotte's technology, and that's there, it's waiting there. It's waiting there to be used. But unless you have a good prompter it won't produce what you produced this morning. Dean: I agree with you 100, and that's why it's all in the prompt prompting. Dan: That means knowing what you want. It's actually a visualization skill because, you visualize something you know like in, not exactly because you, how you did it is unique, but my sense is that you had a question in mind, or you were just curious about something, and then you were able to put it into words. This was strictly spoken, was it? Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, so you didn't type anything in for this. Dean: No, I did not. Dan: Because it's strictly on an audible level, right, exactly, yeah. Anything in for this? No, I did not. Strictly on an audible level, right, exactly yeah. But here's the thing that no one else in the world did what you did this morning, and the reason is because you were just interested in it you were just interested in something and you know, and it was in conversation form, so now tell me about this. Now tell me about this yeah well, what she? Dean: was saying was guiding my things. You know what? It's very similar, dan. It's like if we were to sit down at a piano and look at the piano. There's 88 keys of possibility there. Yeah, unless you know how to prompt the keys to make the noises. Dan: Do you know what I mean? It's just noise. Dean: I think that's really what it is, and I think that chat interactions or AI interactions are going to be the piano lessons of today. Right Like for kids to talk about essential skills. Dan: And the outcome is going to be the music and the outcome is going to be the music. Dean: That's right. That's right, yeah. Dan: I've done about. You know, with perplexity, probably last week I've done about 25, you know where I one. That was really interesting because it was related to the book that I'm writing Casting, not Hiring with Jeff and I was saying, you know, the big thing is that we're only talking, the book is only for a particular type of person, you know. Because, you know he has a wide range of people that he's giving them our small copy of Casting, not Hiring you know, our 60-page book and then he's interviewing them if they're willing to read it, which takes about an hour. If they're willing to read it, then he wants to know what they think about it. You know, but there's, like corporate people that he's talking to, there's academic people that he's talking to, and I said, you know, jeff, academic people that he's talking to. And I said, you know, jeff, there's only one reader for this. That's a successful, talented, ambitious entrepreneur who wants to grow. Who wants to grow, wants to make the growth experience really meaningful and purposeful for himself or herself, but also for the team members, for the members of the company that the entrepreneur owns. And so he said, yeah, well you know how big is that market and I said, well, let's. So I did a search and I had my question. I just looked at it just before I came on the call. I said I want you to, of all the companies incorporated in the United States, the total number of incorporated companies in the United States in 2023, because usually their number. You know that you go back about a year before the present year that you're just sending, because there's an enormous amount of data for that. Dean: And. Dan: I said what percentage of all the incorporated companies in the United States are privately owned? And it turns out it's 99% and 33 million, 33 million incorporated companies. And and then I put in another prompt okay, size of companies 1 to 10, 10 to 50, 50 to 150, 150 to 500, above 500, and 74 percent of them are 74 percent or one to ten. And then, and I said we're really talking basically about companies up to about 150 that's the reader. They have companies that are 150 and everything like that, and it's really interesting that this is the only person they said but there's this huge market of other. You know, jeff didn't say this, but other people said there's. So this should be a book for everybody. And I said, if it's a book for everybody, it's not interesting to anybody that's true, exactly. Dean: Well, that's so. Those numbers have kind of um grown, because I've always heard about you know know, 28 million, but I guess the most recent that would make sense 33 million. Dan: And it would be bigger today because we're you know, we're a full year and into the first month, so it would be bigger. The incorporations go on. And the other thing about what you're saying is you can be so specific, Like you can really put down all the interesting things about the reader you know, about the reader that you're looking for and you know so, while the capability that you're talking and I have some arguments with democratize you know the concept of democratize because there's a certain sense people are going to have equal capabilities. I think just the opposite is going to happen. The range from people with a little ability or no ability to extraordinary capability actually gets bigger and wider to extraordinary capability actually gets bigger and wider. And the reason is exactly what I just said to you that you're the only one in the world who's ever gotten that information laid out and has it back in a very short period of time. And it's strictly because what Dean Jackson was looking for. Dean: Yeah, that's exactly right. I was very curious about it. And I think that it's something. I think it's a unique perspective, especially when we overlay the other things. We only got we were talking about then sound. We only got we were talking about then sound. And it wasn't until the 1800s late 1800s that Edison created the phonograph, that we were able to capture sound and the evolution of that. Then it took another by 25 years later. It was the beginning of radio. That now we have the ability to capture sound, the ability to distribute sound through the radio, that it ushered in this golden era of radio as the distribution medium. And she talked about NBC and CBS and ABC, you know, as the monopolistic NBC was really the big giant. Dan: Yeah, they were the giant. Dean: I mean, they were the powerhouse of radio 1995 was the, or 1925, I think was when they were founded, and then the others were by 1927. Yeah, but that took off the radios in every household and all of that, you know, laid the. That created the mass audience yeah really right, yeah, there was. Dan: Uh. Really, there's a writer named tim wu wu and he's just. He's written about five books on just the extraordinary impact of the communication technologies, starting when you said sort of you know. First the telegraph and the telegraph with sound. That's really the telephones you have. Bell is in there. So, Morris and Bell and Edison. You have the combination. And then Edison also created the movie. I mean, he was the real. I mean, he's the person who created it that became famous for it yes. There were lots of people. He's famous for the light bulb, he's the person who became famous for the light bulb, but there were at least five or six working light bulbs before Edison. It's just that Edison was the first what I would call the modern entrepreneur, technology entrepreneur, and he really grasped where all this stuff was going, more than any other single innovator entrepreneur, and he understood the stock market and he understood how to raise funds and he understood how to market. Dean: You know, yeah, yeah. Dan: So you know I'm getting a lot of patents, so we got two more on Friday, so we're up to 54 patents now. And I was talking in the breakout group on Friday, I said we're really piling up the patents, and so somebody said well, how many are you going for? And I said I can tell you exactly I'm going for 1,068. Tell you exactly, I'm going for 1,068. Uh-huh, 1,068. I mean, where's that number come from? I said Edison had 1,067. Dean: Oh, there you go. Dan: That's the best, and I grew up two miles from his birthplace. So the farm that I grew up two miles away is where Edison was born, milan, ohio, and very famous, I mean he's just a roaring, big, major human being, historic human being in that area, and he's one of my five historic role models. I've got Euclid, I've got Shakespeare, I've got Bach, I've got Hamilton, james Madison and Edison. And I said Edison put all the pieces together that created the modern technological world. Dean: It's true, isn't it? Yeah? Dan: He's the first person to create a formal R&D lab. He had in Menlo, new Jersey. He created his famous lab and he had technicians and scientists and engineers there. And then you know, and then he understood the stock market and he understood you know big systems, how you put big electric systems together and everything like that, you know. The thing is that that's a history of entrepreneurism, the thing that you put together with Charlotte this morning. Dean: Yeah, that was my intention, Because it's always some individual who just decides to do something more with it. Dan: They kind of apply your VCR formula to something that already exists and they say what's the vision? Well, you have to have the vision, but you have to see where it hasn't gone to yet. I mean, that's basically what you have to. Vision is seeing where things have not yet gone to, but could, if you organize them differently? You take the capabilities and combined it with reach, then you. That's what the future really is. Vcr. Dean: Yeah, you know I've had a nice VCR advancement, chad, and I have been talking a lot about it. Chad Jenkins, chad Jenkins, I've been talking about the VCR formula and so I had some distinctions around vision, like what is vision? And I realized there's a progression that it takes like from an idea or a prediction. Is the first level that you got a vision that, hey, I think this could work, and then the next level of it is that you've got proof that idea does work and that opens the gate for you to create a protocol for predictable repeating of that result and that opens the gateway to a patent, to protection of that. Dan: So you predict, you prove you protocol or package and protect the 4P progression. I thought, know you know what. You know what it is. It's the ability to see, yeah, let's say, a reasonable time frame, not 100 years from now, but let's say 10 years from now. Yeah, that, if this were available, a lot of people would like to have this. Dean: Yes. Dan: That's basically what a vision is. That's what a vision is. If it was available to them and it was easy to use. They don't have to change their habits too much to use it 10 years from now and I think a lot of people not only would they love using it, they'd be willing to pay for it. Dean: Of course, yes, I agree, yeah, and so I thought that was very, that was a nice, I mean every drug dealer in the world knows how to do that. Dan: Yeah, I mean, you think about everything started out with an idea. I bet, if we did this, that would be oh, yeah, yeah, I bet, prove it. I bet, yeah, you know, steve jobs with itunes. He said yeah I got interested in music. But when I go into a store, you know, uh, and, and I hear a song I really like, or I hear a musician I really like, and I hear them singing a song, or her I, you know, I'd like to be able to just get that song, but they make it really difficult. You got to buy 11 other songs, or 10 other songs to get the one song you know and you know, and, and I'd like to have it. You know, I'd like to have it on a small machine. I don't want to. You know, I don't want to have a big record that comes home and then I have to have a lot of equipment and everything to put on it. And you know, and you know, I'd like to, I'd like to think of. You know, I'd like to have a technology. Dean: Yeah, I'd like to think of. Dan: You know, I'd like to have a technology Getting a call from yeah, I'd like to have a technology that, the moment I hear the sun, five minutes later I can have it. You know, Mm-hmm. Yes, I mean it's so I think it's imagine, there's a capability multiplied by imagination. You know that's kind of like what vision is. Dean: But you know, the interesting thing is that was true 25 years ago when Steve invented the iPod and the iTunes environment, but then over the next 25 years's taken another evolution. Right, it was still the ownership. Instead of owning the physical thing, you own the digital version of it and you download it onto your device. But now, when it got to the cloud and all the songs are available and you don't need to download them, it's like spotify said listen, we own all the songs, we got access to all of them. Why don't you just pay us nine dollars a month and you can have all the songs and just stream them? Yeah, and, and that's where we're at now, it's like. But I think that the next level, the thing we're at now with ai, is that ai is actually, specifically, that it's reached the generative ai point where it it can actually create songs. That's what's happening now. Dan: Yeah, it's clearly a productive capability that you're exploring here we're having a conversation about. When did you have this conversation with Charlotte? Just this morning, when I woke up this morning, Okay, this entire conversation that we're having would not have happened unless um no, you did what you did for an hour this morning right, that's exactly right, yeah now let me ask you a question here, and it goes to another technological realm and it's big data. It's big data, and so I keep reading about big data. You know big data, and I said and it's accumulating all the data. Okay, and so you have all the data. Okay, and so you have all the data. I remember having a conversation this was probably 10 years ago and the Chinese were developing what was called an intelligence capability, where they could gather information about what all the people in China were doing at any given moment. Okay, and then they could make predictions based on that. Nice, if wait a minute, so you got one point, you got 1.3 billion. Dean: You know however many Chinese there are they're being listened to, you know, and however many Chinese there are. Dan: They're being listened to, you know, and they're. Whatever they're doing, that's being read. And I said how many Chinese do you have to pay attention to what all the other Chinese are doing? I said they must have about 6 million people who, day in, day out, are just listening and they're accumulating massive amounts of data. Okay, and then I say, then what happens? Dean: then what? Dan: yeah, then what? Okay? Okay, uh, and I said so, what do you do with all this data? You know, I said it's overwhelming the amount of data you have. So what's happening with it and what it tells me is that there's no way for you to really comprehend what all that data means. Dean: Yeah, I agree. I mean there's no, but you can argue that's kind of what Facebook does with the algorithm right In a way, of being able to predict what you're likely to click on next. Dan: That's how they're at it, Well that I understand, but that's on the level, that's a commercial level, because really they're selling ads. I mean what Google and Facebook actually are high-level advertising platforms. Dean: Yes, that's exactly what they are. I mean, that's what they are. Dan: Yeah, I mean, and once you've said that, there isn't much else to say. Dean: Once you've said that, it's over. Dan: Well it is what it is and it's a bias, obviously, because it's just, you know it's, if they're spending money, not ads for Google and spending ads for Facebook, they aren't spending money for ads in the New York Times, or yeah. So all the newspaper advertising has gone away and all the magazine advertising has gone away, and probably all the advertising on television, because the number of people watching television is actually going down, you know. Well the actual, I mean if you're following social media or you're you know, you're on the, you're on your computer and you're looking at things. Well, your attention can only be on one thing at a time and if I'm spending you know I used to spend I would say when I stopped in 2018, I stopped watching television together, but I calculated that it was probably I was probably watching anywhere between 15 and 20 hours a week times 52. Okay, so that's. You know that's 800 to a thousand hours and I'm not doing that anymore, so for I got a thousand hours back. He's. I would say 800. I just evened it off at 800. I'd say I've just got 800 hours back. It's just gone into being more productive. I'm incredibly more productive in creating stuff. I have you as a witness. You know that it's going up in numbers. The amount of stuff that I'm creating. it's going up in numbers the amount of stuff that I'm creating. So you know, here's the thing. I don't think I'm unusual in this. I don't think I'm unique on the planet in doing what this is. I just think people are moving their attention away from something where everybody was paying attention to it and now fewer and fewer people are paying attention to it. It's like Joe Rogan, you know, I mean. Dean: Joe Rogan. Dan: The people are watching Joe Rogan. Who did they stop watching or listening and watching to? So that's the big thing. Where are people? Dean: going with their attention. Yeah, and you know I just heard a podcast talking about that. Streaming, you know, like from television. It's gone away from kind of linear television where you know they show one thing on one channel at one time and you have to be there at 8 pm to watch that one show. Watch that one show and you watch it along with ads, right? If you want to watch this happening now, you watch it and you consume the ads. Well, when streaming became available, you know, if you look at that convenience, that it was so much more dignified that we can watch whatever we want to watch when we want to watch it, and there's a price for that. Everybody has migrated towards the, towards that, and now the interesting thing is that the streamers are Wall Street redefined. How they value the, you know, monetize or attribute value to what they have. Because for a long time, netflix was rewarded for the ever-growing number of subscribers. Right, like getting more and more subscribers. It didn't matter to Wall Street that they were profitable or unprofitable. The only thing that they staked the value in was the growing number of subscribers, the growing number of subscribers, so for. So netflix would spend billions and billions of dollars on attracting creative right that would. That would get people to watch the. You know, come to netflix to see, because they only had original programs you could only get on Netflix and they overpaid for all of that content. So now. Wall Street a few years ago decided that hey, wait a minute. These guys should be like any other business. Dan: They should be profitable and so it always comes down to that, doesn't it it really? Dean: does so they said you know, now Netflix has to cut corners, pinch pennies. They have to make things. They can't afford to spend as much to make the content. If you look at the line items of where they were spending the most amount of money, it's acquiring yeah, content to do uh so that's where the peak era of who's the guy? Dan: who's the guy who runs Netflix? Dean: Sarandon Tom. Dan: Sarandon. Dean: I think, but in any event they. Dan: No, I was just wondering if he's one of the people who gave $50 million to Kamala Harris. Dean: Oh, yeah, probably. Dan: Yeah, I said he obviously doesn't know anything about returning or getting a profit All right, exactly. Dean: So the other, the thing that we're finding. Dan: What's Reid Hoffman? He's LinkedIn. Dean: Yeah, I think so, yeah, yeah, linkedin. Yeah yeah, yeah. Dan: But those people are all not giving a million dollars to Trump for his inauguration. Dean: The thing that streamers have landed on now is that they have free models you can watch, but now they have ad supported things where you can watch anything you want, but they insert ads that are unskippable ads and they're finding that is more profitable than the subscriber the subscription revenue. That on a per user kind of thing. They make more money on people watching and viewing the unskippable ads. So it's kind of funny that everything has come full circle back to basic cable, where you are. They're all bundling now so you can get because people were resisting that you had to buy netflix and you had to buy hbo and paramount and hulu and all these things, nbc and cbs and all of it so now they're bundling them together for one subscription and having ad supported views. So the big winner out of all of it is that we've won the right to, and have demanded the right to, watch whatever we want to watch, whenever we want to watch it. We're not going to sit on, you know. We're not going to wait until 9pm to watch this and wait a week to get the next episode. We want all the episodes available right now and we'll choose when and what we watch and for how long we watch it. If I want to watch the whole series in one weekend, that's up to me yeah, you know it's an interesting thing. Dan: Uh, here and this relates to the whole story you told the whole historical story, going back to the sumerians. But one of the things I really notice is that the moment a new capability appears and you can utilize it, it's no longer wondrous. You've just included that in your existing capability, I can now do this. You've just included that in your existing capability. I can now do this. It's really interesting the moment you get a capability that just goes into the stack of capabilities that you already have. So it's not really a breakthrough because it doesn't feel any more unusual than all the capabilities you had. So today this is kind of a you know you were. You started the podcast here saying I just did something that I've never done before with Charlotte you know, and then people said who's this Charlotte that Dean talks about? Well, dean actually created this capability called Charlotte. He actually did that, but now it's just normal. Now, what else can Charlotte do? Dean: I'm going to do this. Dan: But a week from now you may have done this four or five times or four or five more things. These sort of deep searches, that you did, and now it just becomes part of Dean Jackson's talent and capability stack. Dean: Yeah, yeah, in the of the VCR formula, the sea of capability, that all this capability starts out with one person who has taken it's almost like Always starts with one person. Yeah, and it's a curiosity. Dan: It's a curiosity thing You're alert to. You know, in our four by four casting tool, the first quadrant is called performance, how you show up. And I've got four qualities. One you're alert. Second thing is that you're curious. Number three is that you're responsive. And number four you're resourceful. And I would say you just knocked off all four this morning with this search, this conversation with Charlotte. You just knocked off all four. That's the reason why you're doing it. So the key to the future in profiting, but utilizing and benefiting from this technology is you have? To be alert, you have to be curious, you have to be, you have to be responsive and you have to be resourceful. Dean: Yeah, that's great. Dan: Yeah, yeah, we're living, and then you get to do and then you get to do things faster, easier, cheaper and bigger yes, this is great, dan. Dean: We're really living in the best of times we're just talking, dean yeah, we're already in it, but it's endless. Dan: We're into an area of just extraordinary, idiosyncratic creativity. Dean: This is it that now we have. Everyone has access to every capability that you could. Dan: No, they only have access to the capability that they're looking for. Oh, boy yes. No, they don't have access to every capability. They just have access to the next capability they're looking for. Dean: Right, this is mind-blowing. Dan: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is great, but it is similar. This was better than the IV. Dean: Your exuberance is showing. Dan: Or maybe before you have an hour conversation with Dean, you get an IV. Dean: Yeah, exactly, you have an hour conversation with dean, you get an iv. Yeah, exactly, did you imagine it's a triple play of an iv yeah, with a conversation with charlotte, followed by a conversation with dan sullivan. Dan: I will try the iv next week yeah, and then eat a great piece of steak. And then eat a great piece of steak that's right Followed by a Rib eye is great. I think rib eye is my favorite. Dean: Yeah, me too by far yeah. Dan: Well. I love it yeah, this is great conversation. Dean: I agree, Dan this is Things are heating up. I'm going to upgrade Charlotte and give her a raise 10X, a 10 times raise. Dan: Tell her about that. You know talk to her and say you know, not only do I think you're more valuable, but Catchy TP thinks you're more valuable, Charlotte, and we're raising your monthly to 200. Dean: That's right. A 10 times raise. Dan: Yeah, who gets that? Mm-hmm? Okay, and you think about it. Dean: It's just so valuable. All right, dan, thanks, bye, bye.

Compilation episode originally recorded in 4 parts in October of 2023. UFOs, UAPs and Aliens. From the earliest records of human civilization, mysterious celestial objects have been documented. This episode dives deep into those early encounters, starting with ancient civilizations like the Sumerians, whose sacred texts describe inexplicable phenomena. These early accounts continue to challenge our understanding of the universe and fuel the ongoing mystery surrounding UFOs. The episode goes on to explore one of the more haunting aspects of UFO history—sightings reported during World War II. Soldiers in the heat of battle frequently encountered unidentifiable objects in the sky, described as defying the laws of physics. These chilling stories remind us that even during the darkest times, the unknown has always lurked above. As the episode unfolds, it becomes clear that UFO fascination is far from a modern phenomenon. This enduring mystery has left its mark on human consciousness, as the curiosity to uncover our place in the cosmos continues to inspire exploration and speculation. Part two of the series dives into one of the most famous UFO incidents in history—the Roswell crash of 1947. The story begins with a rancher discovering strange debris scattered across his land. Initially, the government proclaimed the discovery of a “flying disc,” a statement that shook the nation. However, the subsequent retraction by authorities only added fuel to conspiracy theories, making Roswell an enduring mystery that still captures the public imagination. The hosts investigate witness reports, government responses, and the many theories that have since emerged about what really happened in the New Mexico desert. In another episode, the boys take on the mysterious Area 51, a name synonymous with UFO lore and conspiracy. Located in the Nevada desert, Area 51 has long been the subject of speculation regarding secret government experiments and extraterrestrial encounters. The episode explores the origins of this top-secret military base and delves into the many UFO sightings reported around it, all while questioning what might really be going on behind its heavily guarded gates. The series concludes with an examination of modern UFO encounters, including the well-known USS Nimitz incident of 2004. In this case, an unidentified craft was tracked over the Pacific Ocean, moving in ways that defied physics and leaving Navy pilots baffled. The episode highlights how, even in recent years, UFOs and UAPs remain unexplained, continuing to captivate and confound both experts and the general public alike.
