We were storytellers and we had buried it for too long. We like to say we grew up and realized we could go after our dreams. We borrowed a camera, tossed together our kids & their friends with a bit of random lumber, mixed in Walmart “oops paint”, and sprinkled in a little pony. Out popped our first film LEMONADE. (which now has 8 million view on YouTube). When we swept the awards at our local film festival, everyone wondered what was next on our horizon. We are still exploring that horizon today. It is now 2021. The world may have changed, but our mission to use stories to capture hearts and minds remains. We are now building a studio in the heart of our beautiful city (sperostudios.tv), we've created hundreds of jobs, and won almost 3 dozen national & regional awards for our short films, documentaries, and corporate/commercial work. We've traveled across the country, been nominated for our work on an international television show, and our first feature length film is available on all major platforms. Not to mention, we have several film & television scripts waiting in the wings. And Act 2 of our story is only just beginning. Never underestimate what's you can find in a basement. https://speropictures.com/   LINKS FROM SHOW CONTENT: GET YOUR TICKETS TODAY Don't use the mainTTIKfilm.com instead use: TTIKfilm.FTLB    SUPPORT: If you've been blessed by my podcasts, please show your support.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, we're diving deep into the recent decision by an Atlanta Walmart to house a police substation within its premises. On the surface, it appears to be a proactive step towards reducing robberies and ensuring the safety of customers and staff. But is this measure truly impactful, or merely a superficial solution to a deeper issue?   Highlighting the Concern: Robberies and thefts in retail spaces, particularly in large chains like Walmart, have been a growing concern for years. As a response, this Atlanta Walmart's choice to incorporate a police substation may seem like a significant deterrent to potential thieves. But how effective can it genuinely be?   The Reality of Theft and Its Causes: Most thefts in retail spaces are opportunistic and, often, the result of deeper societal issues such as unemployment, poverty, or addiction. Having a police substation might deter amateur thieves, but for someone desperate or professional, it might not be such a significant obstacle.   The Perception of Safety vs. Real Impact: While the presence of a police substation can create a perception of heightened safety for shoppers, we discuss whether this might lead to a false sense of security. Moreover, will this measure address the root causes of why thefts occur in the first place?   The Bigger Picture: Instead of solely relying on increased police presence, we'll delve into alternative solutions that might be more effective in the long run. This includes community outreach, employment programs, and other socio-economic initiatives that address the root causes of theft.   Conclusion: While the Atlanta Walmart's initiative is commendable as an attempt to tackle in-store robberies, a more holistic approach may yield better, long-lasting results. It's a classic case of treating the symptom vs. addressing the disease.   Join us as we unpack this topic, offering insights, alternative solutions, and a broader perspective on the issue of retail theft and how to genuinely mitigate it.   ⩥ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ⩤ https://bi3xbvVont.ly/   CLICK HERE for our best-selling products: https://amzn.to/3xaG3xw and https://rdbl.co/3DIQVUC   CLICK HERE to join our free Police, Fire, Military and Families Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/38w2e7r   Check out our website and learn more about how you can work with LEO Warriors by going to: https://www.leowarriors.com/   Like what you hear?

Prime big deal days is coming. Tiktok shop is starting Black Friday early. A 2% fee going away at Amazon. These new stories and much more on this edition of the Helium 10 Weekly Buzz. How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think. Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of the series sellers podcast by Helium 10. I'm your host, Bradley Sutton, and this is the show that is our Helium 10 Weekly Buzz. We give you a rundown of the new stories that are going on the Amazon, wall art and e-commerce world and we give you training tips the week that will give you serious strategies for serious sellers of any level in the e-commerce world. Let's see what's buzzing this week. All right, we got a lot of new stories. Let's go ahead and hop right into it. Bradley Sutton: To the first one here that is actually from seller central. You might have seen it in your seller central news section and it's entitled. Customers will now see sales trend For your eligible listings, as product listings for certain categories, including health and personal care, home and sports, will display a sales trend and Basically it's kind of like in the format of 10k plus bought in the last month. In case you guys haven't seen it. You know it's been. They've been doing tests on this a lot. You'll see right here It'll say like 50 plus bought in the past month or a hundred plus. You know the bigger listings will say 10,000 plus and there's been different tests going on Amazon where you might have seen it was weekly. Sometimes it'll show views. But this is now official. This is no longer a test. Amazon is rolling this out. Does that make the helium-tent chrome extension unnecessary for sales estimates? No, it's interesting to note that this is not even a sales estimate. What it is the number of customers that have purchased this product in the last 30 days. So that's just interesting itself. Bradley Sutton: If you want a, if you're a mathematical person or you just want to dive a little bit more into All of the frequently asked questions like is it at a child level? Is it at a variation level? Is it the last 30 days? Is it the last calendar month? You know what does this mean for customers? How come my listing doesn't see it? I do a super deep dive. That's like six in the morning right now when I'm recording this. Bradley Sutton: I stayed up the whole night actually doing this blog. I haven't even slept yet, but if you guys please reward me for my hard work. The data science team did a good job. You know getting me some data and I put together this blog. Go to helium10.com/blog and it should be probably at the top of the search results there, helium10.com/blog. Click on the one about the search or sales trend data and You'll get everything you needed to know and a whole bunch of stuff. You didn't even want to know about this new thing, but it's actually very interesting. I think it could be cool for customers, could be cool for sellers as well. Bradley Sutton: All right, the next news article today is you know, we talked about this a little bit earlier this week, uh, on our Tuesday podcast. By the way, guys make sure to check out that Tuesday podcast. It was a breakdown of the entirety of Amazon Accelerate. Uh, you can catch that episode at h10.me forward slash 493, uh, where we talk about Amazon Accelerate. But anyways, in that podcast I said, hey, prime big deal days is coming. It's going to be October 10th to 11th. It's kind of like you know different kind of prime day. Amazon, you know, says here in the news that you know the, the, the FBA inventory date for prime big deal days has passed. So if you try and get some inventory and now it might not make it, but you can still participate in prime exclusive discounts, uh, coupons. Obviously you know sponsored ads. So I'm just curious what? What are you guys going to be doing for, uh, prime big deal days? Uh, are you doing any lightning deals? You just doing some coupons, heavy PPC. You know it's kind of something newish. You know it's not the regular prime day, so a little bit of uncharted territories, but probably similar to that second prime day that we had last year. All right, uh. Bradley Sutton: Next article up here is from dexterto.com, I don't think I've ever quoted this uh news source before, but their article was entitled tick tock shop to rival Amazon with early black Friday day deals, all right. So this is interesting because they're actually going to be starting a black Friday deals as early as October 27 and they're trying to move $20 billion. Uh, it said this holiday season. You know, the tick tock shop debuted in the U? S earlier this September. We kind of talked about that on this show and, uh, be interesting to see what's going to happen. You know how many, how many of you are selling on tick tock uh shop out there and are you guys doing anything special for Black Friday? Bradley Sutton: Another uh, there's a lot of Amazon announcements going on um, at some kind of like release event and, anyways, this news article is from tech crunch and it's entitled Amazon brings generative AI to Alexa. Now, this article has nothing to do with Amazon. You know FBA or prime or anything. So you might be wondering why in the world am I linking to this article? Well, this is something I've been talking about for I don't know maybe a year or so, where my, my theory has been that once. I mean that's not my theory, I mean it was Amazon said they're bringing generative AI to Alexa. The part that was my theory was that, hey, once that starts happening, as it starts developing, the shopping experience is going to become exponentially more robust on Alexa. Like, the shopping experience for me right now in my Lexus is like sucks, like it's impossible to buy stuff, and so I don't think a lot of Amazon sellers are optimizing enough for Alexa. Like you probably should, but if you're not, you're probably okay, all right Cause, not that many sales are coming from Alexa. But now, with generative AI perhaps giving Alexa a boost, I would say that you know, this year we are going to start seeing some, some, some more people shop on Alexa and you're going to have to start thinking about, you know, optimizing your listings a little bit more for the Alexa experience, all right. Bradley Sutton: Next article up here is actually from Amazon and it says Amazon is hiring 250,000 employees for the holidays, making it the largest annual investment in US hourly wages. Now it's interesting this is not the most they've hired, right? They say the largest annual investment in hourly wages. That's because minimum wage is ridiculous these days. I think this article talks about how they are actually the average hourly pay for these seasonal workers $20.50. That's crazy. $20 used to be like you've got a really good job and can support your family, like 10 years ago. Now $20 is like the grunt work in a warehouse kind of insane. But anyways, I always like looking at how many employees Amazon hires for the winter because it kind of like shows what their projects and are going to be Like when they don't hire hardly anybody. It's like uh-oh, there might be seen some signals where sales aren't going to be that much during the holiday. $250,000 is a pretty robust, hefty number there, so it'd be a good sign. All right. Bradley Sutton: Next article is from Yahoo Finance and it's like it's kind of like fake news If you can hear in my voice, guys, if you're listening to this on your car or something, if you're watching this, you obviously can see my face. This is ridiculous. This irritates me about news. It says Amazon drops planned merchant fee as FTC lawsuit looms. So right off the bat. The title is like trying to paint this as something like Amazon is running away with their tail between its legs because of this FTC thing. But it has, in my opinion, literally nothing to do with each other. Right, and it's not even that big of a deal, that whole FTC thing. But that's a side topic. We've already talked a lot about that. But in this article listen to this, guys it says effective October 1st, amazon was planning to impose a 2% fee on every sale by third party sellers that ship their products themselves. Guys, that is 100% incorrect. Yahoo, you know you're not some blogger. I mean, get your stuff together. This is not right. This 2% fee was only for those sellers opting into seller fulfilled prime. Seller fulfilled prime is where you get the prime badge on your listing. As long as you're able to deliver to a customer within a few hours or within a day, or within two days and hit the the certain metrics, all right. This was not for all people doing fulfilled by merchant, like this stupid article is saying. And the rest of the article goes in this tie in the FTC thing like it has anything to do with that. So it doesn't. But the bottom line is that if you were planning to enroll in seller fulfilled prime, you don't have to pay the 2% fee, as Amazon had announced. And Amazon did announce that the reason why they're taking away the fee had nothing to do with FTC. But they're like hey, you know, we want this program to succeed, so we want to go ahead and take away that fee to get some more people involved in the program. Our next article is from seller central, or actually the last article of the day, and this is just something simple. We've been talking about this for a couple of months now. How? October 3rd, there's going to be new listing attributes, so this, this go around, has a 213 product types are going to require it. So if you just if you want to check if this is going to affect you, just going to your seller central dashboard, there will be a link to this article in your seller central dashboard and then you'll be able to see which product types you might have to take care of. So that's it for the news today. Bradley Sutton: You guys have been asking for us to get on different platforms that we weren't on with some of our videos and lives and content. So one thing just keep in mind, guys we are now on Twitch, all right. So if you guys have Twitch, we're going to stream our first training next week on twitch.tv. But you know, you guys probably use Twitch on some kind of app. I just look for @helium10software on Twitch. @helium10software. Bradley Sutton: We're doing a live broadcast next week about a new tool, new features that that helium 10 is coming out with. And also, if you guys are on Twitter we're not doing too much on Twitter, but right now I'm going to start, you know, maybe tweeting a little bit more. Find us at @H10Software all right, @H10Software on Twitter. We're also going to be doing live broadcast from there as well. All right, now for our training tip of the week. If you're wondering how to do product line extensions or perhaps find new ASINs that you can target in your product targeting ads, there's a certain tool that you can use in Helium 10. Carrie's going to show you how to use it in 60 seconds. Carrie Miller: Today I want to share with you a little strategy on how to find some good products to target with your pay-per-click advertising. It's actually using our BlackBox tool, which is kind of the last tool that you probably would think about, but I'm going to show you how to do this. The first thing you want to do is you want to log into your Helium 10 account and go to black box and then, under black box, you're going to click on product targeting okay. So once you're in product targeting, then you're going to take whatever ascent it is that you are going to try to, you know, boost your PPC. So this is your product I'm putting in our coffin shelf right here, and what we're going to do is we're going to click on search, okay, and this is going to actually come up with a bunch of similar products, and the idea behind this is that once you find a lot of these similar products, kind of in the same niche, you could potentially advertise on these and they could be kind of compatible products. Carrie Miller: So, if we look, we've got, you know, like a web floating shelf, which would be a great way to, you know, advertise on that. We have a bat shelf, we've got some mirrors that you know could potentially be a good target audience. So there's a lot of options in here that you can utilize to test this out and, you know, see which one of these is a really good idea for product targeting. In addition, as you can see, there's a lot of really cool product ideas. So if you did actually want to take your ascent and put it into BlackBox, under Product Targeting you can actually see similar items so that you can actually expand your brand and, you know, reach your the same customers that you have within your own brand. So basically, for our coffin shelf, something like a you know 3D large school ice cubes is definitely the same target market. So it's in a really simple tool, the product targeting, but it's so great for optimizing your pay per click advertising when you're doing the ascent targeting and you can also find some new products that you could potentially start selling on Amazon. So check out product targeting in BlackBox and let us know what you think. Bradley Sutton: All right, thank you very much, Carrie, for that tip. How many of you guys out there are using the product targeting tab in black box? I hope you are and if you haven't been, hopefully you start using it today going forward. One last thing I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling. Probably, as this is airing, I'm about to take off to go to Istanbul for Friday. We might do a little mini meetup Friday night. So reply to this If you are in the Istanbul area. Bradley Sutton: I'll be in Maldives this weekend recording episode 500 of the podcast. On October 17th and 19th I'll be in Vietnam, both in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, at an Amazon conference. Just go to h10.me/vietnam If you're interested in tickets there, and then directly from there. On the 19th to the 23rd I'll be in Seoul, Korea, Amazon Seller Kingdom Conference. You can find more information on that h10.me/kconference for that one, and then I'm flying directly from there to New York, amazon unbox. It is now officially sold out for in person tickets, but if you just search for Amazon unboxed New York, you'll be able to get virtual tickets to that event. And if you're in the area on the 23rd we will be doing a Helium 10 Elite workshop for Elite members, but if there's not enough Elite members who go, I might open up some scholarship spots for some of you out there. Anyways, guys, that's it for this week. Hope you enjoyed the news. We'll see you next week to see what's buzzing.

I chat about selling my plasma, my new feud with Walmart and Dunkin Donuts, and some comics that I've been able to catch up on.

"The exhausting cycle of packed days, stressed-out kids, and emotional meltdowns was not going to change until rest became a central factor in our lives. I needed to pivot, to transform the way I approached parenting.  My realization came one day as I was reading Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (NIV).  Jesus' words struck a chord deep within me. His invitation to find rest in Him was a reminder that in the midst of my family's hectic life, He is our source of calm and renewal. But even more so, it was a wake-up call for me to pursue slow, unhurried living within our family."Leave a comment for Michelle: https://incourage.me/?p=235042--The fall issue of DaySpring's Everyday Faith Magazine is out on newsstands!

This week the ESG Insider podcast is on the ground at Climate Week NYC for a special series of interviews from the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus. In this episode, we sit down with Amina Razvi, CEO of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC).   SAC is a nonprofit alliance for the consumer goods industry. It launched in 2009 when Walmart and Patagonia brought together peers and competitors from across the sector to develop a standardized approach to measuring sustainability performance and to drive collective action.   The apparel industry accounts for anywhere between 2% and 8% of emissions, and most of those come from Scope 3 emissions in the supply chain, Amina tells us.   “It's critically important for brands, retailers and manufacturers to actually be working together,” she says. “Collaboration and partnership and collective action are critical and needed to tackle not just the apparel industry's issues with climate change and decarbonization, but every sector.”   She also talks about the industry's evolving approach to circularity, or the practice of extending the lifespan of goods and reusing materials.

Transcript: WILL: This is the Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots Podcast, where we explore the design, development, and business of great products. I'm your host, Will Larry. And with me today is Stephen Hanson, Director of Mobile Development here at thoughtbot. Stephen, thank you for joining me. STEPHEN: Hi, Will. Thanks for having me. I'm excited to be here. WILL: Yeah. I'm excited to talk about mobile development. But before we get started, tell us a little bit about who Stephen Hanson is: your personal life. STEPHEN: You know this because we often talk about our families when we get together. But I have two young kids, two and four years old. When you say personal life to anybody who has young kids, that's what we're talking about. [laughter] WILL: Yes. STEPHEN: So, they're keeping me busy but in the best way. WILL: Yeah, definitely. And I totally understand that. So, I know we talk about this often, but you like to woodwork. You like to work with your hands like most of us in tech. Like, we think so much with our head and mental that we try to find something to do physically, and yours is woodworking. Tell me a little bit about that. STEPHEN: Yeah. I think it's exactly what you said. I think working on a computer all day, you know, many years ago, I was like, what's something I can do with my hands, right? Something a little more physical. So yeah, fine woodworking has been a hobby of mine for quite a few years. And we were even chatting the other day about, you know, I'm trying to take time during the day to sneak out to the garage for 15 minutes, you know, during my lunch break or whatever to just get that mental reset and just work on something. WILL: Yeah. I know that you built your office that you work out of. I've been wanting to ask you, one, how did you do it? Two, how did you have the confidence to do it [laughter] to make sure that it was going to...how can I say this? I would be afraid that would it still be standing [laughter] after a little bit? [laughs] STEPHEN: Yeah, to be honest, that was definitely a fear. Yeah, I built my office in 2020, you know, COVID hit. All of a sudden, I was working fully remote. And we had another kid on the way. You know, we didn't have space in the house. So, I was like, what am I going to do? [laughs] I was already doing woodworking, but I didn't have any construction or carpentry experience. So, yeah, I definitely had the confidence issue. And I think, you know, I was just like, I don't know, let's just give it a try. [laughter] That's really all I can say. I didn't have the skills yet. But I watched a lot of YouTube and read a lot of [laughs] forums or, you know, just found info wherever I could, so...[laughs] WILL: Yep. And it's still standing today, correct? [laughs] STEPHEN: Correct. Yeah. [laughs] No, I'm just sitting in, like, a pile of rubble right now. [laughter] WILL: That's awesome, yeah. It's kind of like development sometimes for me. Like, you just got to take that leap sometimes, so... STEPHEN: You do, right? It's like, you know, fake it till you make it. [laughter] WILL: Yep. That's awesome. Awesome. Awesome. So, tell us a little bit about how did you get started in development in general? And then, how did you get started in React Native? STEPHEN: Yeah. So, I started out as a full-stack web developer. So, I didn't initially set out and say, "I'm going to build mobile apps," right? And I started out in 2011. I was working in Enterprise Java. I worked for American Airlines for a couple of years, and then I did enterprise consulting. I eventually made my way to, like, Rails and front-end development. And around 2016, 2017, I was freelancing. And eventually, clients started asking me to build mobile apps. [chuckles] WILL: [inaudible 04:16] STEPHEN: And I didn't know how to build mobile apps. So, I did what any web developer would do who doesn't build apps, and I used web technology. So, those first couple of apps that I built were hybrid apps. I used Ionic. And those are, you know, web apps that you package in a Native Wrapper. So, developing these apps, I literally developed them in a browser, right? And they're web apps. [laughs] And that was my first experience building apps. Even if they were web-based, I still had to work with the native app stores and learn, you know, app review guidelines and implement some native functionality, even though it was through, like, the Ionic wrappers. You know, people kind of trash on hybrid apps, and sometimes for good reason. But that wasn't a bad first experience for me or outcome, honestly. The clients were happy. They had apps in the app stores that were working for a pretty reasonable development cost. So yeah, that was my first experience in mobile. The end result isn't something I'd be necessarily proud of today. [laughs] WILL: I think that's all devs. [laughs] STEPHEN: Yeah, you know, [laughter] yeah, I -- WILL: Looking back at their work, yeah. [laughs] STEPHEN: I was talking about that. I could look back to something I built a month ago. [laughs] WILL: Yes. [laughter] STEPHEN: You don't have to go back far. [laughter] WILL: Yeah, so true [laughs]. You started working with the client when you were freelancing. So, how did you go from the hybrid web apps to actually saying, okay, I want to change, and I want to go all in on React Native? STEPHEN: React Native came out around that same time I was building those hybrid apps. So, the hybrid apps were 2016, 2017. React Native came out in 2015. So it was out, but it was still pretty new. And I was really interested in React Native right from the beginning, but I was also a little intimidated by it [chuckles]. So, when those first clients came to me for mobile apps, I didn't feel confident enough to say, "Yes, I can build you a React Native app." But a year or two later, I was working for another client on their Rails app. And I was building an API for their new React Native app. You know, I was really interested in React Native. So I said, "Hey, [chuckles] why don't I help out on the app side, too?" And they were like, "Sure, that sounds great." So that was kind of where I got my foot in the door with React Native. And then more opportunities like that just kept popping up over the next year. So, I got to work on a couple of other React Native apps. And like we talked about, I just started calling myself a React Native developer [laughs]. The rest is history. WILL: Yep. So true. We'll touch more on that later. But what would you say to a client who is trying to figure out if they should build native versus React Native? STEPHEN: There's a few things to consider when making that decision. But I think, usually, what I've seen is it comes down to budget and user experience. The bottom line is React Native is going to be a lot cheaper. You're basically building one app instead of two, right? Most of your code in a React Native app is going to be in JavaScript, and you can reuse all of that code across Android and iOS. If you're building a native app, you're just building two completely separate apps. So, it's just going to be cheaper to build that React Native app, and a lot of times, that's what it comes down to. For most companies, it can be really hard to justify that extra cost of building a completely native app for each platform. But then the question is when we talk about how can you justify the cost? Well, what would justify the cost, right? [laughs] I think probably the biggest trade-off when you build a React Native app versus a purely native app is there is a little bit of a performance penalty by building in React Native versus native. So, I think apps that will need to have a very flashy cutting-edge experience with lots of user-driven animation and effects, you know, when you get into that domain, I think that's where we see pure native starting to make more sense. But most apps and users would never feel that performance penalty of React Native. So, for most apps, that's not really something that enters into the equation. WILL: I want to dig into something you said. You were talking about if you do go native, you usually have to build an iOS and an Android separately. But with React Native, you could do it together. So, for someone who's maybe never done either one of them, can you kind of dig into, like, what does that look like? So, when you say I have to build an iOS and an Android portion versus I can do one codebase for React Native, can you walk us through kind of what that looks like, just a sample feature? STEPHEN: When I say React Native is a single codebase and, you know, native apps, you're building two apps, the way React Native works is you're basically building a React app. So, all of your business logic is going to be in React. And when your React code renders some UI, that gets translated into native UI. But your business logic is still going to be living in that JavaScript React app. So, one, when I say performance penalty, that's what I'm talking about is: there's a little bit of a performance penalty communicating back and forth between your JavaScript thread and the native system thread. But when we talk about one codebase versus two, that's what a React Native app looks like. You basically are working on a React app. It's one codebase with one set of business logic. And when you say, "Show a modal on the screen," that gets translated into a native Android modal or a native iOS modal, but in your code, you're just saying, "Show a modal." [laughs] So, you're just writing that one time. So yeah, a React Native project is just one codebase. Now, one thing that we haven't really touched on is in a React Native app, you do have the ability to drop down into native code. So, you have access to the native Android project and the native iOS project in your React Native app. So, you can write completely native code if you want to. But the appeal of React Native is you don't have to, you know, unless you get into one of those situations where you need to do something native that isn't supported out of the box with React Native or by an existing third-party library, or you want to have a very performant, very interactive part of your app. Maybe there's a reason you want to do that in native. You know, you do have that option in a React Native app of dropping down into that native code level. But to contrast that with a purely native project, you will have two completely separate codebases, one for Android and one for iOS. You'll have a development team for Android and a development team for iOS, you know, typically with different skill sets. The Android project will be Java, Kotlin. And your iOS project is swift. So, just in every sense, you really have two different projects when you're working on a purely native app. WILL: Okay, yeah, that makes sense. So like, for React Native, that show modal is just however many lines to show that one modal, and it does it for iOS and Android. But when you talk about native, you're saying that; however, iOS says to show that modal, you have to do it that way. But then Android, you also have to do it the Android way. And one developer, unless they know both of them, may not be able to handle both for those cases, correct? STEPHEN: Yeah, exactly. React Native abstracts away those underlying platforms. So, you really just need to know React Native for most cases. Though, there's definitely a benefit of knowing the underlying platforms. WILL: Definitely. Especially, like you touched on if you wanted to go into that native portion to add in a feature. You know, for example, I know we both worked on a project where we had a scanning app. And we had to tap into that native portion and React Native in order to get the scanning app to work, correct? STEPHEN: Yeah, that's right. We had to support some barcode scanning devices and hook into those barcode scanning frameworks that were proprietary [chuckles] to those devices. So yeah, we had to build native modules for Android and iOS to support those. WILL: Gotcha. Okay. I want to touch back on something you said earlier about the flashy experiences. You said sometimes you may not see it or whatever, but sometimes, if you want that flashy experience, it's better to go the native route. Can you explain that a little bit more? STEPHEN: So yeah, it's kind of what I was touching on a second ago. You know, in a React Native app, you have the JavaScript thread that is always running and coordinating UI changes with business logic. So, you've got your business logic in JavaScript. You've got the UI in native. And those need to be coordinated to interact. So, that's kind of where that performance penalty can happen. You know, again, most apps and users would never feel this penalty. I've never been, like, using my phone and been like, oh, this is a React Native app; I can feel it, you know. [laughs] It's not something that typically enters the picture for most apps that we work on. But there are certain types of apps that might be more important, you know, highly interactive games or things that just need to have that extra flashiness and interactive flashiness specifically, where it could make sense to build that natively. Another interesting thing in the React Native space is React Native recently re-architected their rendering engine to be written in C++ and be more efficient. So, this performance overhead might be a little bit less of a trade-off. They've re-architected the way that React Native JavaScript talks to the native layer, which might make this even less of an issue going forward. WILL: I looked it up for the podcast. But do you know some of the companies that we probably are familiar with, like they built apps on React Native? Can you name a couple? STEPHEN: Yeah, I was recently looking at this, too. And, you know, the big one is Facebook, right? Facebook built React Native. So, they're the sponsor of that project. So, Facebook and Facebook Messenger, I believe those apps are built with React Native. I don't know if the entire apps are or not [chuckles]. Do you know by chance? [laughs] WILL: React Native on their website says, "Hey, we're going to showcase these apps that they're built in React Native." So, I'm guessing a huge portion of it was built in React Native, so... STEPHEN: Yeah. That's a good point. Yeah, you're right. They're showcasing it there. So yeah, you know, other ones, you know, lots of brands, Shopify, looks like PlayStation. I'm looking at the list now on the React Native website: Pinterest, Flipkart, Discord, Walmart, Tesla, Coinbase, Mercari. Yeah, I mean, it's just a lot of big-name apps built in React Native, including quite a few that we've [laughs] that we've built. [laughter] MID-ROLL AD: Are you an entrepreneur or start-up founder looking to gain confidence in the way forward for your idea?

Find out how we can help you move the needle at tbot.io/entrepreneurs. WILL: If I'm absolutely sold on getting that flashy experience, is native the only route to go? STEPHEN: I think until pretty recently, that would have been your option [laughs]. But Flutter has been picking up a little bit of momentum. So, Flutter is developed by Google. And it's kind of a challenger in that React Native space. It kind of has the same write once, run anywhere, you know, philosophy as React Native. You have one codebase. But they tout kind of being a more performant option than React Native. So, it compiles down to native ARM or Intel code, which can give better performance without, you know, not needing that JavaScript bridge kind of handling that communication between the UI and the business logic. WILL: So, when would you use Flutter versus React Native? STEPHEN: I kind of keep going back to, like, you know, we talk about the performance overhead of a React Native app. I don't think that's even on the map for the vast majority of apps. Like, this isn't a performance penalty that you can typically feel. So, looking at Flutter versus React Native, React Native has several advantages. I think the biggest one is it's React. So, every team has React developers already on the team, pretty much nowadays. So, you know, if you've got an organization that says, "Oh, we need to build a mobile app," they probably already have a team of React developers somewhere working on their web app [laughs]. So, there's a big benefit of kind of centralizing their team around that technology. You know, you can have a little bit of cross-pollination between web and mobile, which can be really nice. I think, similarly, it's a lot easier to find and hire React or React Native developers right now than it is to find and hire Flutter developers. So, Flutter is written in Dart, and it has its own front-end framework. So, this isn't necessarily a technology that you're going to have on your existing team. Like, I've never worked with Dart, personally. It's not nearly as common as React developers. You know, that, to me, is going to be a big downside. You know, the talent pool is a lot smaller for Flutter/Dart developers. Also, the ecosystem with Flutter being newer, it's not as established. It doesn't have as large of an ecosystem as React Native. So, for those reasons, I think React Native is still, at least for us, like, it's usually where we would steer a client over Flutter, unless they're in that category of, like, they're really going for something, you know, groundbreaking. And, you know, the choice is either, you know, they've ruled out React Native. They need to get that native performance, and maybe they could achieve that with Flutter, and maybe Flutter would be a good option then. WILL: Okay. You mentioned that—and I agree with you—like, you probably have some React devs on your team somewhere. Most companies does. So, say if I am bought in, I'm going all in on React Native, and I have React web developers on my team. Is that an easy transition for those developers, or what does that transition look like? STEPHEN: Yeah, this is something...I think you and I have talked about this a lot because we both transitioned from React Web to React Native. And, you know, it wasn't all that easy, right? [laughs] WILL: No, it was not [laughter] at all. [laughter] STEPHEN: So yeah, you know, it is a fallacy to say, "Hey, we've got a React team, you know, let's just start tomorrow on building an app, and it'll be smooth sailing. And, you know, no one needs to learn anything, and we'll be good to go," right? [laughs] So, you know, what I always say is a React web developer can successfully work on a React Native app. But I don't think they have the skills yet to lead that initiative because there's just so much to the mobile ecosystem that needs to be learned. And really, you know, my first couple of React Native apps, I wasn't the lead developer. There was somebody on those projects who really knew that space better than I did. And that was really helpful for me to have. How about you? What about your first, like, React Native project? What did that look like? WILL: It was at another company, and the exact words paraphrasing was, "You know React, so you can easily work on React Native." And so, I got on the project. And I really struggled, to be honest with you, because there's a lot of things that I didn't know: in-app purchases, push notifications, how to deal with Apple store, Android store, deploying to those stores. Like all of those things, navigation is totally different than React navigations and routes. It was a lot. It was a lot more than they led on to what it was. Eventually, I caught on. It took me a while. I needed to work with some more senior React Native developers, and I was able to really pick it up. But yeah, it was tough. I'll be honest: I struggled for a while because I went in feeling like I should have known all those things because that's the way it was conveyed to me. Now that I look back on it I was like, there's no way I could have known those things. It's just a different language. So, I had to get in there and learn it. And I even...I'm trying to think I've learned a couple of new languages. But it's almost like learning a new language just with, you know, the, like I mentioned, the in-app purchases, push notifications. It's just totally different. STEPHEN: Yeah, that's been my experience also. I think the challenges weren't, like, coding [laughs] because, you know, building a React Native app is coding in React. The challenges that I faced were, like you said, it's just the mobile ecosystem and learning all the intricacies, the functionality that users have come to expect in mobile apps, you know, like password manager, integration, and background execution modes, and deep linking strategies, all that kind of stuff. You know, if you don't know what questions to ask or what features to be thinking of, it's just really hard. And [laughs] I think it's more than just the developer needing to know that too. I think anytime it comes, you know, down to building an app, the whole team needs to have that mobile background. It's just a completely different platform than building for the web, right? So like, product owners, project managers, designers, developers all need that context so we can be prioritizing the right features and building a UI that matches the patterns that people have come to expect in a mobile app. And then, of course, developing those apps using the, you know, the proper native modules. WILL: Yeah, definitely. And I [chuckles]...you mentioned that it's mostly on, like, the mobile side. I don't know the best way to say that. But, like, I can tell you, when I first got onto the React Native project, there were numerous features that I could implement, and to a certain point to where I had to go that mobile. So, like, I was like, oh yeah, I can learn these new components that's in React Native. Okay, I got it to work. It's finished. You know, my PM would be like, "Well, it's not completely finished because you have to deploy it." And I was like, oh, I have no idea what I'm doing now. Like, I just know [laughs]...I know up to this point. STEPHEN: [laughs] WILL: But anything over that, I'm like, yeah, I have no idea. STEPHEN: Especially with consulting, right? With consulting, you need even more expertise, right? The clients are counting on you to build their app. And that's where, you know, having that deep, deep familiarity where you can say to a client, "This is how we're going to do the deployment process, you know, and I need, you know, X, Y, and Z to help set it up. And here are the deliverables, and here's when we'll have it," that kind of thing. Like, it really takes it up a whole nother notch what you need to know. WILL: Definitely, yeah. Because I think compared to mobile, I feel like web development can almost be like the Wild Wild West. And what I mean by that is, like, there's no rules for you to push out a website in web. Like, you know, you build it. You push it out. It can be out there, you know. Whoever is hosting it, unless you go against their rules, maybe, but their rules are very relaxed and stuff like that. Mobile, there's a totally different set of rules. Because, like, I was laughing not too long ago. There was rumors that Elon Musk was going to remove the blocking feature on Twitter [chuckles]. And it was funny because all the mobile devs they came out. And if you're a mobile dev, you know this. Apple is very strict. STEPHEN: [laughs] WILL: If this is a social media app that you're building, you have to have that blocking feature, which I agree it needs to be there. But it's funny, like, all the mobile devs was like, yeah, that's not going to work. Good luck [chuckles]. Good luck being an app again. STEPHEN: Yeah, [laughs] good luck. WILL: Like, they're going to kick it off. And yeah, they're very big on kicking it off if it doesn't follow those rules and things like that. So yeah, for React Native, you have to learn those rules, or, like I said, they won't approve it. They won't push it out to their store. STEPHEN: Yep, exactly. Yeah. I feel like the new one at every client project; I have to say, "We have to offer a way to delete your account in the app," because [laughs] that's a new one that launched last year, and I think has just started being enforced more recently. Like, all those little gotcha rules, you know, like, if you don't know about that, then you're going to go to submit your app to the stores, and you're going to get rejected every single time. [laughs]. WILL: And they're not shy about rejecting you [laughs]. STEPHEN: Yeah. But I would say, like, a lot of the rules, I'm like, yes, this is amazing that we have these rules, you know. It does help keep the community safer like things like blocking. But then there's the other rules of, like, Apple's like, hey, you've got to use our payment system and pay us 30% of every sale. WILL: Yes [laughs]. STEPHEN: I was, like, you know, there's some evil stuff happening there, too. WILL: I totally agree. And we ran into that issue. We had an app that used Stripe. And we actually had to remove it in order to use in-app purchases because...I forgot the rules around it, but it was essentially for digital content. I think it's what it was. And so, we had to use Apple's in-app purchases. So yeah, I totally agree with you on that. STEPHEN: Yeah. I feel like I've been a part of so many apps where we're, like, reading those rules. And we're like, okay, you know, it's like, we're watching a live stream of birds. WILL: [laughs] STEPHEN: You know, like, the birds aren't digital [laughter], you know. It's like, [laughs] where does this fall in the rule? [laughs] WILL: Yes [laughs]. I've done that, too [laughter]. Yep. It's almost like, you know, I feel like lawyers, okay, like, is this what this rule is, or the law what is written, or does this fall underneath that? So yeah, totally, totally agree. STEPHEN: Yep [laughs]. WILL: So, you've been here a couple of years at thoughtbot. What has been your experience building React Natives here for clients at thoughtbot? STEPHEN: Yeah, yeah. I've been at thoughtbot for about five years now. And I have been building React Native apps that whole time. And, I mean, I started at thoughtbot a little more in the full-stack space, web development, and have transitioned to where I'm mostly only building React Native mobile apps now. It's been a great experience. I think that React Native is really a sweet spot of; we're able to build these apps really efficiently and much less expensively than when we're doing pure native. And the end product is a really good app. So, it's been a great experience, you know, React Native is really...it has a really nice development experience. You know, it's the JavaScript React ecosystem. And we use TypeScript, and we have a really good developer experience with it. And then we're building apps that clients are really happy with and with a good budget. So, I think it's kind of that, you know, like, win-win-win kind of scenario where everybody is happy. And yeah, I don't see it going anywhere. And I think we're going to be building React Native apps for quite a while to come. WILL: Yeah, I totally agree with that. Where do you see React Native and mobile dev going here at thoughtbot in the next six months or even the next year? What are your goals for the mobile team? STEPHEN: We've got a couple of goals. One of them is around kind of what we've talked about with the mobile space in general. This isn't really specific to React Native, but it can be. But, consulting in the mobile space is challenging because there's a lot of mobile-specific domain knowledge that a team really needs to have. So, that's something that we've started looking into is, like, how do we build up our resources internally and then, hopefully, externally as well to help guide us on our projects and ensure that we have, like, you know, we are developing apps consistently and efficiently every time? So, that's something we're looking into is, like resources to help our teams—not just developers, but project managers, designers, and developers—help us navigate the mobile space. Okay, you're going to do push notifications. Here's the library we use. Here's things to think about, and interactions to think about, and iOS-specific functionality that we could support, and Android-specific functionality that we can support. You know, you're going to do deep linking; do you want to use universal links, or do you want to use a different strategy, a scheme-based link? So, basically, building up that set of resources so that our teams are all able to consult and build efficiently and consistently across the board. So, that's kind of goal number one. And then, goal number two is to kind of bring some of that out into the community a little bit more. So, thoughtbot is very well known in the Rails space for all of the open-source content we've put out and blog posts, and courses, and books. I mean, there's just so much on the Rails side that thoughtbot has done. And we're just a little bit less mature on the React Native side in terms of what we've put out there. So, that's kind of the second goal is giving back, helping others kind of do that same thing. I feel like we have developed our practices internally, and we're building some great apps. And it's kind of time to contribute back a little bit more. WILL: Awesome. I'm looking forward to reaching those goals. If you can go back and give yourself advice, what would you tell yourself? STEPHEN: I would maybe say, read the documentation [laughs]. I don't know when I got into mobile; I think I just jumped in. And, you know, we've talked about some of the mobile-specific domain, and not knowing what you don't know, and app review guidelines. I feel like early on, I just responded to challenges as they came up, as opposed to just digging into, you know, Apple's documentation and Android's documentation and just really understanding the underlying operating systems in stores. That's probably a piece of advice. If I could go back, I would just start at the documentation, you know, go to developer.apple.com and read about all of the underlying APIs of StoreKit and, you know, associated domains and all of these sorts of things. Just learn 'em, and then you know 'em. [laughs]. So, maybe that could have saved me some heartache if I just was a little more intentional about, okay, I'm getting into app development. I'm going to set aside some time and just really learn this stuff, as opposed to kind of where I had one foot in the door, one foot out of the door for a while. And I think that kept me from just sitting down and really going deep. WILL: That's really good advice. Just read the documentation. And that's not just Apple. STEPHEN: [laughs] WILL: That's a lot of departments, sections of my life. So, yes, I like that. [laughter] STEPHEN: I actually...that's something I did early in my career. So, I started as an Enterprise Java developer in 2011, and I was using the Spring framework. I downloaded the entire PDF. It was, like, 250 pages, the documentation [laughs]. And I remember just being on, like, airplane flights, and I just read the documentation, just cover to cover. That served me so well. I was, like, the expert, you know [laughs]. I don't always do it, but when I do, I'm like, oh yeah, why didn't I do that sooner? [laughs] WILL: Yeah, totally agree. I like that. What is the wind in your sails? What motivates Stephen? STEPHEN: Like, I think what attracted me to software development is just being able to build stuff, you know, probably the same thing that attracted me to woodworking. So, I think what motivates me is that prospect of, hey, I'm building an app that people are going to use, and it's going to make their life better. So, that's really what gets me up and gets me motivated. It's less so the actual coding, to be honest. It's really the prospect of, like, hey, I'm building something. WILL: Awesome. Yeah. Is there anything that you would like to promote? STEPHEN: If you're interested in building a mobile app, come talk to us. We'd love to build your mobile app. Go to thoughtbot.com/hire-us; I believe hire-us. We would love to talk to you about your mobile project. So, don't hesitate to reach out.

Sam Walton, the guy who started Wal-Mart, is probably one of the most successful and wealthiest business owners in American history. He died a multi-billionaire, and his last words were, “I blew it.” I don't know the whole story behind that, but when you're facing death and dying, you're not thinking about spending more time at work. You're thinking things like, “I wish I would have spent more time with my family. I hope my family knows that I still love them. I hope that I'm leaving behind a legacy.” Who cares if a trillion people love you and think that you're awesome if your family hates you because you neglected them? It's better to be poor and broke but have a loving family than to make tons of money and have a family that hates you. There's so much more to this life than just making money and having successful businesses, right? Let's do everything we can now; it's not too late. Let's look at what's most important and make the changes now so that our family knows that we love them.What's Inside:—The famous last words of Wal-Mart founder, Sam Walton.—The importance of putting your loved ones first.—How to reframe and focus on what's important.

Faction Cannot Prevail (12)  (audio)  David Eells - 9/6/23   I was told by the Lord to declass all that we know.  Some of these first few minutes might be borderline for teens and pre-teens so if you like they can leave the room. The Angels told us that in the future we would be speaking to one another in dangerous territory by the Spirit. Emails and texts and other physical forms of communication are hacked by governments and others and are dangerous. This is true if you are a Christian missionary among an unfavorable religious society. The Lord impressed me to practice this. I went to our head UBM angel Baruch and asked if we could talk this way. We did. So this morphed into total communication between us. This involved either spoken words or thoughts. All I had to do was address him by name and the angel and this would open a line of communication between us that was totally natural like you were sitting in the same room. This morphed into not even calling on the angel just speaking or thinking communication with the angels. I saw a vision of Eve with different colored hair and it was straight. Another had a dream of her looking the same way. I asked Eve if she looked like this and had an alias and she said, yes. This way she could work for Kevin, whom she was completely submissive to because of the demons he had put on her; Including witchcraft, voodoo, slander, lust, fornication, and adultery so she would do her job for them. You say, David why would you not cast these demons off of her. We have in the past but now the Lord is bringing her through this whole experience to humble her and to be an advocate for those taken advantage of by filthy satanists. The Spirit continued my education and experience regarding what seemed like natural communications. I asked Eve some questions that would have been dangerous for her to answer, which I will explain later. She answered them because the Spirit overruled her demons. I asked her “Are they farming you out to other men besides them.” She said yes, so I said how many?  She said she couldn't say.  But Baruch, who was standing by, interjected “with 12 men”.  She then said this was correct. I said in one week, no wonder you say you are tired. I asked are you doing this from your apartment?  She said, no, we have a building. I asked are the other girls also in that building?  Baruch said they have 14. She said, yes, but she could have no communication with them. To say the least, this sickened me that satanists all over the world are trafficking men, women, children and babies. I asked, are Kevin and Eddie making a lot of money off of you all.  She said, Yes. I said are your customers men of importance who would defend Kevin if he got caught trafficking women and she said some of them are. Are some cops, lawyers, judges, politicians, type people, she said she believes so but does not know their names. I thought, good, that is safer for her. Then I asked, are the rooms equipped with hidden cameras and sound recorders, She said, yes.  This is Epstein Island all over again and all over the world. They recorded the politicians, big business, judges, etc. and blackmailed them to take over the countries. I said, Lord if I declass this it will be dangerous for them. These men do not want to be known. I heard that we are so close to the end of this it won't make any difference.  I asked for 3 heads to confirm this and got them. Also Vanessa received from the Lord, “No weapon formed against Eve shall prosper.” I believe this is for the other elect women also. Just to let Kevin and Eddie and all the satanists know, be careful with these women, men, and their children you have captured because like Trump, “We have it all.”  Oh, you think not? These angels see and know everything and they are talking to more people than me. God was speaking to me so I said to Baruch, The problem is that these sinners are enjoying this too much to stop because of the demons they have received. Do you think ED and symptoms of disease would fix that? He said, yes, and he would take care of it. (They all would know there was just one common denominator to cause disease, Kevin and Eddie, since they insist on molesting them all.) (A few days before this, I asked God and did a test. I was talking to Eve and she said kind of frustrated, “something is wrong”.  I said, Is it ED?  She said how did you know that?) Shortly after Baruch released this larger judgment, Michael had crazy things happening to his computer and phone at the same time, so he rebuked it and it left. So we knew it was retaliation and we bound all retaliation against our body.  I think it is Mordecai and Esther's cancelling the Jews curse with their edict and putting it instead on Haman and his sons and people as we just studied. Seducer Preying On Young Women  Anna Stewart 9/1/23 (David's notes in red)   I had the following dream last night. I don't know if I'm representing other young women we know about who were stalked in the same way. I dreamt that I was a teenager in high school. The high school campus was at my childhood home. It seemed that I was 16 years old. (Predators, Sixteen is still an adolescent teen and not an adult.) There was a scene where I was on the roof of our old pump house, chipping away and scraping off years of accumulated gunk from the rooftop. (The rooftop represents covering and protection.) As I removed the blackened gunk (sins) I was surprised to find that there was honey underneath. (The Lord's cleansing process to bring restoration to their personal fountains of living water for Eve/the women. Through our prayers, we are “pumping” the Words of Life into Eve and the other captured women.) Pro 24:13 My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb,which are sweet to thy taste: Psa 119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! The scene changed back to the campus and Kevin was there and he was 35 in the dream. He seemed like a nice man. It seemed like he and I had known each other in the past. (Because we used to be in fellowship as brethren. Both she and her husband had dreams that Kevin molested her. He broke into their phone and emailed me from there.) He was very nice to me, and it seemed like he was in love with me. He was following me around but not pushing the issue of wanting to talk to me. I wasn't attracted to him, justattracted to the idea of him loving me. (The spirits of lust Kevin sent out use the emotions and make one “feel” like they “want” him but are deceptive. He had a spirit of seduction and acting.) But I had this subconscious feeling that something wasn't right; it was like I knew that a 35-year-old man pursuing a 16-year-old should be a huge red flag, (Being only 16 years of age is considered “below the age of consent for sexual contact.” Knowing the difference between right and wrong, having our senses exercised by the Word. Heb 5:14 But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.) but I couldn't quite get my mind around the fact that he was just lusting after me—it was like I was blinded because of my desire to be loved. (The spirits of lust blind the young by using the emotions and desires for love and confuse the mind.) I wanted to walk away from him, but he seemed so nice, and like he really cared about me. I subconsciously knew that he wasn't as he seemed, but it was like my knowledge of who he was had been taken away. I knew he really wasn't a good man, but I couldn't remember why. (The factious send witchcraft spirits of “confusion” doubt and unbelief.) I was really struggling between wanting to be loved by him and wanting to walk away and not look back. There was this strange pull trying to draw me to him. With my reasoning I wanted nothing to do with him, but my emotions were being manipulated towards him. (We bind all their witchcraft of control and manipulation to seduce and capture other women.) Kevin's truck was a pretty blue (a righteous facade). The scene changed and I was standing next to Kevin's truck and David and Michael were there. David was smiling and kind but urging me to flee from Kevin. (We must resist the devil and all his tactics of deceptive charm and lustful seduction. 2Co 2:11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.) He was so calm but told me I should flee like it was for my life and to go where Kevin couldn't find me. (We are hidden and abiding in Christ.) I knew it would be hard to flee because he was always hanging around close by. (Remain fully armored with the Word (Eph 6:10-20) and continue to bind the demons operating through their witchcraft and curses and loose the angels.) Then I saw a GPS map with my vehicle, driving this way and that, trying to flee in unpredictable ways. I saw a line behind mine that was Kevin's vehicle following my trail. He was far behind me, yet he always caught up close to where I was. I suddenly realized that he was actually stalking me and just how creepy he was. There was no way for him to know where I was at, yet he was always able to follow me, short-cutting close to where I was every time.(Philip had an app on his phone so he always knew where his wife was even when she ran away one time. We bind all Kevin's spying and stalking spirits and declare they are all null and void. We cast down the powers and principality operating through him in Jesus name. I caught him stalking other other women.) End of dream. I had a dream a couple years ago where Kevin was in a blue truck spying on us. There was a fire in the house where we met, but Kevin ended up fleeing for his life after being shot at by David who was target shooting into the field where Kevin was spying from. I wanted to send this to you as I thought it might be some direction for warfare for Eve and the other women.    A Word   David Timoshchuk 6/2/23 (David's notes in red)  Last night I was led to pray for all the persecutors and family and I kept repeating, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Then this morning while preparing the jalapeños, these words kept repeating in my head, "Kevin and Eddie have fallen by their own swords." And shortly after, I heard the words, "It is finished."  Psa 37:12-15 The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 13 The Lord will laugh at him; For he seeth that his day is coming. 14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way. 15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken.  Dream of Judgement Coming  Alenna Timoshchuk 8/30/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt that I was in the Walmart parking lot with my mom and daughters. We had set up camping chairs in the back and were there to watch a meteor shower and to see a sign in the sky. While we were waiting, I saw chaos happening all around me. I knew that everyone was boycotting the grocery stores and anyone who was weak and would enter to get groceries for their family, the people boycotting would attack them. Some were even lighting their cars on fire to scare off anyone else from trying to shop. I thought that I needed to wake up and tell my husband my dream but then slipped into another one.  I was with my husband in my parents' house and my girls were asleep in another room. I started sharing my dream with him and noticed a massive storm approaching. I knew we needed to be in a safe room during the storm, so I went to get my daughters and I saw that my oldest had woken up and gone outside and was playing with a cousin. I ran out and got her and told the other little girl to run home because a huge storm is coming and the wind had already picked up to really strong winds. My little cousin excitedly asked me if we were going to heaven, and I told her not just yet.  Then again, I started thinking that I needed to tell my husband my dream but that I need to get a verse by faith at random first and two places from the Bible popped into my mind Matthew 11:22 and Mark 11:13. I had no idea what these verses were but I knew the Lord put them in mind. Then I woke up so I could write them down before I'd forget.   Mat 11:22 But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. Mar 11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.  I felt that this dream was telling me the Lord's judgement is coming very quickly.  Tsunami Judgement Coming  Tianna Fire 2/8/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt we were with the local brethren, and we all lived next to each other in a community. A warning came from God in an audible voice, and He said, "A tsunami is coming." (Tsunamis are destructive surges of water that can hit land. This could represent a spiritual tsunami bringing judgement on the wicked. 1Jn 4:17 Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.)  The brethren were all cheering that God had given warning this time. The brethren spoke about the last time there was a giant tsunami and storm, but God didn't tell them it was coming and that it had wiped out everyone except the UBM brethren. (God gives us warnings of judgments so we can be ready ourselves and warn others so they can repent from sin and turn to the Lord. Many judgements will wipe out the wicked.)  Last time everyone was in the water and having to tread over all the wavesand all the brethren were gathered near each other in the water. (The Body of Christ needs to stay together abiding in the water, which is the Word of God and not let faction separate them.) It was so dark and there were storms and vicious waves and for three days they had to do this. (The storms and treading the waves of water represent the trials and tribulations we go through being tried by the Word in our death of the old man. The three days represent the time Jesus was dead in the tomb.) Because of their faith and strength in Christ, they were preserved, but all the other people were taken out by the tsunami. (We need to obey the Lord and walk the crucified life of death to self. When we do, we save our souls.) Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. Joh 12:25 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.  I asked some of the sisters how they were able to tread on the water with their three children each and a few of the children were able to tread themselves or the children were strapped to their parents with a carrier. (Parents are to teach their children the Word and how to walk by faith so they know how to go through trials too. Deu 11:19 And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Pro 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it.)   I honestly had much fear of maybe having to tread in dark open water and I was worried about sharks. But the brethren said because God has warned us this time, we won't have to do that. (When we go through our trials in faith and obedience and overcome them, we don't have to go through them again and again.)  We all grabbed what we needed and walked to the highest point on the biggest hill in the town. (Representing our walk to get to Mt Zion and be in Jerusalem, who is the Bride.) When we got to the top there was a giant treethat we all climbed and got on top. (This giant tree represents the Tree of Life, Who is Jesus. Pro 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:[Wisdom] And happy is every one that retaineth her.   Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God. Rev 22:14-15 Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have the right to come to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.15 Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie. Psa 92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.)  We could see the view over the whole town and the water and there was a giant storm forming and waves rushing. (This giant storm forming could be DS planned attacks as well as the tribulation period, which is soon to start.)We then saw other people from the town running to the hill to try and get up high. Then giant waves started rushing through the town and everyone not on the hill was washed away. (Many people are unaware of the coming storm. We need to be abiding in Christ now, dwelling in heavenly places which is by faith in His promises. Eph 2:5-6 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:)  Some other people were on the hill and started running to the top. But then another giant wave crashed on the hill and everyone not on the tree was taken out. The storm lasted about 5 days but we were all content praising God from the tree and again UBM brethren were the only ones left alive from the town.  This is Our Fathers Heart  Debbie Fenske 8/6/23  I finished writing down what I was hearing from the Lord, I got hesitant about it. I was thinking about using coins for confirmation. So I asked the Lord, “Father, shall I blog this?” And Father said, “Be led by My Spirit. I simply said, “I know, Lord.” Then He said to me, “What did you hear? What did you feel?” I told Father, “I heard you speaking, and I felt you heart.” I received nothing back from the Lord then, and knew that I was being led by His Spirit, and that I had been hearing His heart.     I was laying on my couch listening to this constant rolling thunder. It was beautiful. So then I heard:   “Do you hear the thunder? I said, “Yes Lord. It's beautiful.” He said, “So is My voice that is continually speaking. I will not stop until all who I have called to Myself have heard My call.     But, woe to those who have heard, but will not respond to Me. For them is coming tremendous woe. And there is much woe coming to my sheep who have become lost, and do not want to find their way back, ignoring any of My guidance.     They have been lost too long, and no longer have a conscience. The day is nigh that will be woe to them! And woe to those who I have been calling to Myself, and out of My great mercy for them I have sent my ambassadors, My witnesses to them.     And some of them only like the message they here. And some only like the thought of a life walking with Me. But, woe to them! For I almost had them, but they too, wait too long, and they let themselves grow cold to the slightest drawing they feel from me, to My slightest call of their name.     Though they hear, they reject. Their life in this world is much too important. They are idols unto themselves, and will not be freed. So I let them go. Woe to them! But, there is glory coming! Great revival is coming that will bring back My lost but tender ones who have hearts still tender towards Me.”     I felt to ask Father, “Lord, what is it you want to tell us to do?”    “I tell you, and all, stop wasting time praying for those who by their lives, and their reactions to My Son, and the teachings they once knew, and embraced, but now have rejected. For I say, I have already rejected them.”     So then I was thinking to myself, “Well, how do we know who those would be?” Father heard my thoughts and said, “Listen to My voice. You will know. Pray, instead, for the multitudes ready to embrace Me and My kingdom through the mighty Word preached from My Sons who I will fully dwell in, and the mighty signs, and wonders they will perform.     Right now, see the glory! I know those who are mine. And I know those who never have been mine, and those who are mine no longer. Very soon all who I have chosen will be Mine, bearing My name. I will move in mighty ways for the final bringing in of My precious true Israel.     This mighty move is close, and you believe it is close. But I tell you that it is yet closer than you think. Be busy preparing yourself in Me. My sons and daughters, I see that there is still much of this world in you that you need to let go of.     Have you been understanding what I have been saying, what you have already been hearing? Do you understand the shortness of time? Are you being moved by the woes of the people of this world? I say, examine yourselves, and be moved by the state of your own heart. I say this is the time to let go.     This is a call to you, My people. This is the time to be prepared. Put off any love you have for this world. Put off this slothfullness that I see! Be prepared. Be ready!     Knock Out Punch Prophecy  Dr. Patricia Green (David's notes in red)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A1TDyzRQLE    Today's video is called the Knockout Punch prophecy, which the Lord gave me on July 22, 2023. So, I just want to read what was given to me.      As I sat down to receive this message, the very first words that I heard was, “Knockout Punch.” And the Lord said, “I am delivering the knockout blow to the worldwide elites who have controlled the politics, the financial world and the pharmaceutical industry; and yes, I say industry because that is what it is. By no means does Big Pharma have the interest of making people well or healing them. Just the opposite. They create drugs to make people dependent on them so they can line their pockets with trillions of dollars.      The Lord said, “I have put my glove on and with one blow I will remove the global elites who hide in the shadows and control the people, says the Lord.” The Lord said, “I say enough. I have had enough of their wickedness. I have had enough of their deceit and control and manipulation. I have had enough of them controlling the wealth. For with My knockout punch, I will strip them of their wealth, which is built on a false system and layers of lies.”       Patricia says, now I find this part quite amusing. The Lord said, “The wealthy elites will, be like, the emperor who wore no clothes, in this children's storybook called, The Emperor's New Clothes. It was a shyster who convinced the emperor that he was weaving him a beautiful robe, but in fact there was no robe; it was imaginary. He further convinced the emperor to parade through the city in his glorious robe that did not exist. (This could represent the fake Biden presidency, who is only a puppet, along with all the political parties, who are an “imaginary” show, and they will all be exposed and declassed.) This is the same fate as the global elites, says the Lord.” “It was the common people who revealed to the emperor that he was naked and without any royal apparel. It will be the common people who will strip the elites of their fine apparel, their riches and their properties; and the elites will be naked and exposed, says the Lord of host.” (The prayers of the righteous to bring down the DS globalist, satanist bunch. We continue to send the angels to drain the swamp!)    “How, do you say, can this happen?” “Because they are so powerful and so rich and so hidden.” But the Lord says, “But I say, nothing is impossible with Me, says the Lord of hosts.” “How could the entire army of Pharaoh and Pharaoh himself be swallowed up in the Red Sea, and yet I did that, says the Lord.” “No one in Israel could have imagined that their enemies against them could be here one minute and the next minute forever gone. Forever annihilated. I Am that same God. I created the earth and everything in it. It all belongs to Me, says the Lord.” “The heavens are My throne, and the earth is My footstool.”       “Who is man that I Am mindful of him, says the Lord.” “I say man is My creation and I will not tolerate the altering of men, women and children. For that is the work of the enemies to try and improve and alter and change My creation. No one knows My mind or My power except My Son. So, if you want a glimpse into My thoughts and a glimpse of My power, come to My Son and ask Him to reveal Me; to reveal Me, Your Heavenly Father. For I AM Almighty, all powerful, all knowing and ever-present. I AM the Great I AM, and I AM, has spoken.”     “Now go My children and declare My words in this earthly realm. Declare all that I have spoken and already given to My true prophets; for when you declare My words, you are taking your spiritual authority on this.” Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power on the enemy, and nothing shall by any means on you. The Lord said, “Use your voice, My children; lift up your voice in one accord for your voice has power, My power, says the Lord.”     Our Heavenly Protection  Marie Kelton 8/11/22 (David's notes in red)    I had an open vision of the Lord sitting next to me. He said, “Eat from the hand of God.” He then opened his hand and I saw food in it. Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. Pro 9:4-5 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him, 5Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled.    I then saw two big angels standing by the side door with spears in their hands in the living room. I was asking the Lord about the demons that attack my mind all the time. One of the angels walked up to me and I could hear the clacking of his armor. I knew he was there to help me. I asked him to help with spirits attacking me. Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation? Mat 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.    I then saw a huge demon to my right. The angel took his spear and stabbed the demon with it. When the angel pulled out the spear, I saw black liquid on it. I then saw two angels walking with a demon in between them. They were holding it up. The angels then stopped, and the demon was kneeling.     Php 2:9-11 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; 10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.    Eph 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Col 2:15 having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.    Then I saw the Lord walk up and take a sword and cut the demon's head off.     Escaping Evil  Anonymous 12/12/22 (David's notes in red)    I dreamt that I was a child and living in an orphanage, in the middle of nowhere. There were many other children and workers there. (This represents the children who have lost their families in the DS wars and earthquakes, and hurricane destruction causing them to be placed in orphanages and foster homes; many of them are funded by the governments and used to traffic children by the satanists. In the recent event in Maui, there are over 2,000 children missing.) A group of the children had run away from the orphanage to the forest because some of the workers there had been sexually abusing children. (Representing the satanists and sexual perversion and pedophilia in the DS and the ungodly.) NENT Gen 6:11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.    I wanted to leave too, because I didn't want anything to do with that. So, I and two other children planned to leave. (Lot and his 2 daughters escaped Sodom. NENT Gen 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.)    It was lunchtime and all the children were playing in the playground. My friends came up to me and told me they were going to run away right now. I said that I haven't packed my bag yet. They said they would go out of the school and wait in the forest for me, and they ran off and I went into my room to pack my bag. To get to my room I had to walk past one of the men that had been abusing children. I was praying in my heart that he wouldn't notice me, as if I was invisible, and he wouldn't see me. (NENT Col 3:3 For ye died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.)     I went into my room and packed everything I could in my bag including water. I was making a lot of noise trying to find everything quickly. I also was afraid because I was alone in the room and not only was I scared of getting caught trying to escape but I feared him trying to do something evil to me. I had the bag almost fully packed, when the man walked into the room, and he grabbed something from a desk. He walked straight past me and couldn't even see me even though I was in plain sight. (God answered the prayer to be made invisible and not be seen! NENT Luk 4:30 But HE passing through the midst of them went his way.)    I escaped and ran off to join my friends in the woods. We spent the next few days trying to survive there, avoiding animals, trying to keep warm at night and not give in to fear of the scary animal sounds we heard. Also, we had a lot of trouble trying to find food and not going the wrong way. (NENT Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath there a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred threescore days.) We honestly had no idea where we were going. All we had ever known was this orphanage, so we had no idea what to expect because we never had contact with the outside world. (NENT Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go out unto a place which he was to receive for inheritance, and went out, not knowing whither he was going. 2Co 5:7 (for we walk through faith, not through sight.))     After about three days of being in the forest we found a house hidden in the woods. No one was home so we snuck in through a window and went through the house, took some food and we went and hid upstairs in a bedroom that didn't look like it was regularly used.     We heard someone walking around the house and we knew someone lived there. We tried our best to stay hidden, we wanted to stay here because it was better than being in the woods, especially at night. And we could secretly go find food in the house when we felt the person wasn't there, or when we thought they were asleep. We stayed in this room for a little while, but we ended up going into the attic. We hadn't been in the attic long before thiselderly man came up and found us. He was very kind, caring and loving, which is something we hadn't experienced before. (The elderly man represents our Heavenly Father, or it may represent Jesus.)    When we were in the orphanage all the children were always in fear of the workers and only had other children to console in. The man let us stay in his place for a while, feeding us and talking with us and he built up a trust with us and we confessed where we were from and why we ran away. (We all start out as children and learn to trust the Lord. By His grace we can have a healthy relationship with Him, where we can be nurtured and grow.)    He told us that there had been many children before us that had run away for the same reasons. That he had his house here for a long time and that he had helped many other children in our situation. He told us there was a man, who ran away as a child, and that he had taken him in and raised him. Now this man lives in another town, and he always tries to help children in any way he can, because he understands and had experienced the same evil abuse as a child.    The elderly man called him, and he said that he and his wife will take us in and raise us as their own. They came and picked us up, and we went to live in their house, and they were very friendly, gentle and understanding. Then I woke up.    Declass The Angels told us that in the future we would be speaking to one another in dangerous territory by the Spirit. Emails and texts and other physical forms of communication are hacked by governments and others and are dangerous. This is true if you are a Christian missionary among an unfavorable religious society. The Lord impressed me to practice this. I went to our head UBM angel Baruch and asked if he could send a message to Eve and he said yes. He did and received a word back which Baruch gave to me. Then I received understanding that this was too primitive. So this morphed into total communication between us. This involved either spoken words or thoughts. All I had to do was address her by name and the angel would open a line of communication between us that was totally natural like you were sitting in the same room. This morphed into not even calling on the angel just speaking or thinking communication which was just like my former communication with the angels. I saw a vision of Eve with different colored hair and it was straight. Another had a dream of her looking the same. I asked Eve if she had an alias and she said yes. This way she could work for Kevin, whom she was completely submissive to because of the demons he had put on her; Including witchcraft, voodoo, slander, lust, fornication, and adultery so she would do her job for them. You say, David why would you not cast these demons off of her. We have in the past but now the Lord is bringing her through this whole experience to humble her and to be an advocate for those taken advantage of by filthy satanists. The Spirit continued my education and experience regarding what seemed like natural communications. I asked Eve some questions that would have been dangerous for her to answer, which I will explain later. She answered them because the Spirit overruled her demons. I asked her “Are they farming you out to other men besides them.” She said yes, so I said how many?  She said she couldn't say.  But Baruch, who was standing by, interjected “with 12 men”.  She then said this was correct. I said in one week, no wonder you say you are tired. I asked are you doing this from your apartment?  She said, no, we have a building. I asked are the other girls also in that building?  Baruch said they have 14. She said, yes, but she could have no communication with them. To say the least, this sickened me that satanists all over the world are trafficking men, women, children and babies. I asked, are Kevin and Eddie making a lot of money off of you all.  She said, Yes. I said are your customers men of importance who would defend Kevin if he got caught trafficking women and she said some of them are. Are some cops, lawyers, judges, politicians, type people, she said she believes so but does not know their names. I thought, good, that is safer for her. Then I asked, are the rooms equipped with hidden cameras and sound recorders, She said yes.  This is Epstein Island all over again and all over the world. They recorded the politicians, big business, judges, etc. and blackmailed them to take over the countries. I said, Lord if I declass this it will be dangerous for them. These men do not want to be known. I heard that we are so close to the end of this it won't make any difference.  I asked for 3 heads to confirm this and got them. Also Vanessa received from the Lord, “No weapon formed against Eve shall prosper.” I believe this is for the other elect women also.   Just to let Kevin and Eddie and all the satanists know, be careful with these women, men, and their children you have captured because like Trump, “We have it all.”  Oh, you think not? These angels know everything and they are talking to more people than me. God was speaking to me so I said to Baruch, The problem is that these sinners are enjoying this too much to stop because of the demons they have received. Do you think ED and symptoms of disease would fix that? He said, yes, and he would take care of it. (They all would know there was just one common denominator, Kevin and Eddie, since they insist on molesting them all.) Shortly after this Michael had crazy things happening to his computer and phone so he rebuked it and it left. So we knew it was retaliation and we bound all retaliation against our body.  I think it is Mordecai and Esther's cancelling the Jews curse with their edict and putting it instead on Haman and his sons and people as we just studied.

Disney Wants to Pour Billions Into its Parks and Cruises, Walmart opening Pet Services Centers, Briefing.com Strategist Patrick O'Hare Talks About the Current Markets

Only in Him will we experience the greatest depth and width and height of life. Only in Him can we be everything we were ever created to be.  It's no secret and it's no superpower.  To be with Him is to be everywhere we ever need to be.  To be known by Him is to see we are everything we ever need to be."Leave a comment for Rachel: --The fall issue of DaySpring's Everyday Faith Magazine is out on newsstands!

As an industry vet of 15 years, she has witnessed the changes and understands the ebbs and flows of the business.  Mandy created her own voiceover business from the ground up and has a successful and replicable model to help actors build their own successful businesses. All of this adds up to a coach who can provide audition and career advice while helping actors become the best they can be! Tell me about all the different types of voiceover that are out there today. There's more than one thing that you can do as a voiceover artist. And so often, I feel like when people ask me about voiceover, they just automatically assume that I'm an animation or like on cartoons. Or video games. And while that's definitely part of voiceover, a lot of my work is commercial and like what you hear on the radio or on TV and e-learning. Many companies I work with have videos that they need to show their employees, and that's a big part of voiceover that people don't necessarily like even thinking about, but then there's IVR, which is interactive voice response. So, when you call a business and you, they say, "Oh, thank you for calling Ikea, press one for the manager, press two for household goods." That's part of voice of real people who get hired for those jobs. And do that as voiceover. And I know a couple of people who do that only, and that's their entire career, and they make damn good money doing that. E-learning is a part of voiceover where a company will hire you for perhaps they want to teach their employees about some new policies at their workplace, or maybe a new product is launching. They want to tell the whole company who's not in product development. They want to educate the salespeople and the marketing people and all other kinds of people within the company; they want to educate them about the product or even sometimes it's. It's how to handle sexual harassment, go to HR with a complaint, or negotiate your salary. A company will want to have all kinds of modules so that their employees can learn, grow, and be better. And especially with remote working being such a major part of the corporate world these days. They rely heavily on these videos and voiceovers to educate their employees and keep their workforce culture booming so that they don't feel like they're on an island. There's anime, there's animation, there's commercials, there's radio spots, there's e-learning, and then the next one you were talking about was IVR. Interactive voice response and IVR and telephony are two different things, but they go hand in hand. Telephony is when you call a business and they have a message; maybe for they're on holiday or vacation. "Thank you for calling the law offices of Dunder and Dunder. we're currently on holiday, and we will get back to you as soon as possible." That's a message. That's part of telephony, and most of the time, if you get a client that wants telephony, you can upsell them on the I V R or vice versa. But they're two different things, but they often go hand in hand. There's looping, obviously ADR. And dubbing, many actors who are bilingual that's becoming its own vertical is bilingual voiceover because many people want to hire both the English speaker and the other language speakers for the same kinds of jobs. What's radio imaging? Oh yeah, radio imaging Is the voice of a radio station, not the DJ. So, not the one calling out the music cues, "you're listening to be 93.3." It's the voice that you hear between the DJ and the songs that makes the station recognizable. So, when you hear that be 93.3, that voice, that person calling out the radio station, it's recognizable to you. You're listening to that station and not Z 100. There's promo, there's medical, there's political. Let's start with promos. Promos are promotions for TV shows and movies, but not trailers. Trailers is a different kind of voiceover, but promo is like, "Join us this week for a new episode of Family Guy Only on CBS." Medical is complicated because it's all jargon. And a lot of times, you'll get a copy with all of these very technical terms or medications, and you have no idea how the hell to pronounce them, and you are rigorously googling, and yes, of course, you can ask the person that sent it to you, but nine times out of ten that person doesn't freaking know and then they have to ask the people that sent it to them, and there is this like long chain of response. Often, it is so specifically timed. ISI- important safety information, which is just the bottom half of that medical, of that medical promo that you're doing. IPA is the International Phonetic Alphabet. , once you learn it, you can pretty much look at any word and break it down through these little symbols that help you pronounce words because they stand for the different consonants and fricatives and vowels and all that kind of stuff in a word, and if you use the symbols to write it out. You are then able to read the IPA as it applies to the words. It's basically just spelling out the word the way that it sounds. Trailers for movies most of the time. Sometimes short films but big movie trailers always have a VO. "Coming to theaters now, it's Spider-Man." Video games and mobile fall under the same sort of category, but again, they're two separate things because video games for release on a console are different than a video game released on mobile, only in terms of usage, for performance, they're pretty much the same. A lot of video games use actors for an entire franchise. I know one video game used 800 different voice actors for one game. So, it's a huge industry. Toys and games. In the voices that you hear in those little books that have Press the cow. Moo. A lot of Fisher Price or Mattel or little kid things that have voices. Non-union and union work for audiobooks, which a lot of people don't realize that you can; if you are a union actor and voiceover, there are union voiceover audiobooks that exist out there to do, but I know a lot of people assume that most of that work is non-union. So, let's talk about union versus non-union. Seventy percent of voiceover work is non-union. So, many rules and things you might expect if you're a union actor doing non-union VO don't apply. And sometimes, you find yourself negotiating a little bit more. It can be an education process, especially if you are getting clients on your own through direct marketing or social or outside of agents. And I find that when I have to educate a client a little on industry-standard rates, they're receptive. But there is some pushback; that's just not in our budget, but maybe it will be for next year. So that's something that you should keep in mind as recurring clients are how you keep your business going and how you scale your business is you want to keep them; you don't want just to have one client and then never work with them again. So, suppose you can be a little compromising in those early stages of that relationship and understand that, okay, for the next time we work together. In that case, we're going to get closer and closer to those industry standard rates. That's one way to keep those clients in and scale. So, you used a term that I don't know if many actors know, scale your business. Can you please explain what scale your business is? Grow it. As a voiceover actor, if you are entering into this industry for the first time or if you have been doing it on and off part-time, it's making new connections, meeting new people, and finding out who needs to hire you, that changes the landscape of the industry has changed so much, especially when I first stumbled into it. So, keeping your ear to the ground and understanding how to grow continuously is important. Guide to Commercial Voiceovers VO Workout The guide to commercial VO is for any voiceover actor who wants to learn more about commercial voiceover because there's lots of nuance in every single vertical of voiceover. All the 15, 20, but they all have their own sort of ways of working, and what works in commercial is not necessarily going to work in video games and how you approach those different things. So, all of the skills behind the performance, as well as the skills behind the business, are in this course, and it's jam-packed with information at the end of it. One of my favorite parts of this is all of the people who participated asked so many amazing questions, and that right there is just, it is worth it to me, like those questions. That's why you want to get the replay. Get up and work voiceover session; it's 90 minutes and quick and dirty. And it's ten actors we work with. TenI provide or so minutes at a time, and I provide commercial copy that they can use and choose whichever piece they want to work on and read through the copy. I give them some notes in real-time, and we get to a place where we feel good about the work. Is it ready to send off as an audition? Sometimes it is. And sometimes we get to really great, beautiful places that we weren't in previously, but is it always that way? No, but it's about feeling good about the work, understanding the work, understanding the connections that you make, going through the copy, and being able to say, I know what story this is. I know what I'm doing. I feel confident about what I'm doing. And that's the goal is to be able to look at commercial copy for the first time. No, history of looking it over for days and days, but seeing it and being able to make strong choices in the moment and then forgetting about it, letting it go, working in the moment, and then you're done and letting it go because that's such a big part of commercials. And if I sat and stewed and thought so hard about every single audition I get every day, I would never make it through the deck. I would just be sitting here doing two or three instead of the 15 that come across my desk. And I would never get them out. What keeps coming up when negotiating a non-union contract? In perpetuity. What we're constantly seeing now in non-union VO specifically are exclusivity and in perpetuity, which again are two very different things, but we're starting to see them go hand in hand. Now, in perpetuity means forever and ever. Exclusivity means exclusive to a certain category or product. So, let's say you do a commercial for a toothpaste. And it's like a no-name toothpaste brand startup toothpaste. And they come to you, and they're like, "Oh my goodness. I would love for you to do our voiceover. We would like exclusivity in perpetuity." This means you can never do any other toothpaste ever again for the rest of your career. So, they better be paying a big sum of money. And if they're not, then you say, "I'm sorry, I can't work within those within those confines, but I can offer you 13 weeks at this rate or a year at this rate," But if it's in perpetuity for any kind of commercial, I stay far away from it. If it's in perpetuity for something like medical, I don't really care. Cause there's no competition there and there, the rates in medical are pretty good, so I don't really care, but in commercial. Unless they're paying me some six figures for in perpetuity, then then I say no. If you are trying to have a business, you must have the business mindset at the front and the performance mindset side by side. What kind of mic do you like to work with, just out of curiosity? Yeah. I have Neuman U 87, which I love. It's beautiful and produces great sound, but I also have a Rode NT1, which is also great, and a DEDS mic, and I think that is just as good as the Sennheiser MK 14. I use mics for different things for promo or medical. I usually use my shotgun deity for commercial. I'm usually using my Neumann for political and other things; I use my Rode; it just depends on where I'm sitting in my voice that day, what the work is, what I'm going to be doing. What is direct marketing? Direct marketing is doing research, whether on LinkedIn or Google, or however you like to do research to obtain information about companies and people, and then reaching out to them and saying, "Hi, I'm a voice actor. Here's my shit. Listen to my shit. Do you want to work together?" You are a salesperson, but are you a good salesperson, or are you a shitty one? And that comes through trial and error and seeing what works and seeing what people respond to. But I find nine times out of 10, a lot of these people I'm reaching out to have a very good sense of humor. They don't have a lot of time, and they like to be sold to in a snappy way that gets to the point with maybe a little bit of cheek and humor and fun and call it a fucking day. They don't want to go back and forth nine times about the last episode of Game of Thrones. Maybe down the line, sure, but right now, they need to do what's best for their business, what's best for their company, their team, whatever. They don't necessarily want to go through a casting site, pay that fee, and then pay these people. If they can work with you directly and you are good behind the mic, you're a good business person; you can do quick turnaround, you have good sound, they would rather work with you directly than going through all the fucking hoops through an agency or a casting site to find, and then scrolling through hundreds and hundreds of auditions to find the right person that they want to work with. So, direct marketing is a great way for you to scale your business. Your thoughts on AI. I think that AI has always been around for a really long time, not always, but for a very long time. And yes, it's getting better, smarter, and more capable, but I don't see it as competition. I know this will be a controversial thought, but I think there are ways we can work alongside it, learn from it, and utilize it to better ourselves. I don't think AI will replace voiceover actors in my lifetime. Every person I've talked to who have at one point hired AI voices for their projects said that they regretted it and they would much rather work with a human being. My father came up with a brilliant strike slogan, which is human stupidity is better than artificial intelligence. Working with people in all sorts of stages of their career is not only fun for me, but it is exciting to be able to offer that wide variety of coaching to all walks of life.

Choosing to see life through the lens of appreciation, affirmation, and gratitude (instead of lack and loss) is how we renew our minds to align with the Holy Spirit. It's how we learn to see that God really is always with us. This awareness . . . this intentional discipline of holy mindfulness . . . is how we learn to abide."Leave a comment for Marshawn, and enter to WIN a copy of her new mindfulness journal, Daily Blessings: https://incourage.me/?p=234813--The fall issue of DaySpring's Everyday Faith Magazine is out on newsstands!
