This is the last week in our respective summer series, and we've got some big ideas to discuss. The last book at FCC Dundee, by David Zahl, is called, "Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion And What To Do About It." (Whew!) Its a fascinating book about how religious we can be about "non-religious" things - and how we are searching for meaning, purpose, identity, belonging, and a sense of our own "enoughness" everywhere.  And for Pastor Paige's last stop "on the road," there isn't an arrival, but another sending-out: Jesus' Great Commission. All of this challenges us with some great questions: what are we looking for? Can we get there from here? Where is the good news in all of this? 

Whew chile the ghetto. I hope ya'll gon stick beside me through my podcasting journey. In this episode hear about how my staycation went this past weekend. The new Spider-Man trailer was released. Chloe Bailey from ChloexHalle getting her well deserved shine on the upcoming VMAs. Normani begging to perform?

How bout that, Hershall? I put the biggest word possibly that we've ever used in the title! (as well as the description of the second word.... speaking of the second word, the first word was used two times in this EPISODE. Yep, you heard (or technically read) what I said (or technically typed), it was used twice, as in 1 less that thrice (KJV word meaning 3). You likely think that I used it as some of my fancy jargon (a word meaning nothing like it sounds like it SHOULD mean), but it was actually used by 2 different reviewers- aka Hershi! Whew, I'm already tired of typing about it, so I'll just say this... we ended up talking about a portion of Acts 27 so give it all a listen if you'd like. Also, send us some feedback at devin@podnme.org (said softly and tenderly) or leave a review on Apple Podcasts... of course, if you'd like to do so... also, find us on Instagram @podn_me.  

Today's readings are from Notebook 3, numbers 1153-1159 Sister Faustina has a vision of her new Congregation and Christ reveals to her how He wants her to spread mercy. There are three main ways—words of mercy, prayers for mercy, and deeds of mercy. I, also, share how difficult it has been to get this podcast up and running. The visual is pretty ridiculous but full of God's grace. Whew!

Whew chile, we are getting into it ya'll. We all know and potentially have lived it. We've begun using this word in damn near everything regarding relationships, dating, situationships, etc. Toxic, Toxicity. Relationships and dating in 2021. This is a 4 part series of episodes where we'll be touching on particular subtopics within toxicity in relationships. Dive in hunny, we've got guests, and we're turning it up.

Whew! I'm way behind on posting these! But here is the show where we talk about the seemingly simple question- where do you start? Twitch schedule for this week: M- 2pm AMA T- 2pm I Should Be Writing W- 11am Ditch Diggers Th- 2pm I Should Be Writing I will probably play a game or something, but I don't want to schedule it because it's low on the priority of all the things I need to get done. I WILL finish the damn novella this week. Today, hopefully. OH YALL- Check it out! I wrote a running adventure for Six to Start, (of Zombies, Run! fame). If you have the app, you'll have access to the adventure. And a VIP pass isn't too expensive for so much content. This is a story I've wanted to tell for so long, but couldn't find the right medium. The Necropolis is a city within the mountains where people worship the sun and mourn the dead moon. And a Godmaker sits in cabin above them all and carves household gods for the people in town. You are her apprentice, and you Godmaker comes out TOMORROW! 

Episode 274: Another Brandy spectacular this week. We continue with our special guest series, which has mostly been Brandy, but we get a chance to talk about the great actors and actresses that were in all the things we watched this week. From the tried and true MCU with Shang-Chi and Eternals to the styles of Foundation and Prisoners of the Ghostland we have some great stuff coming this fall. What If … yes we watched it, along with Green Knight, Reminiscence, Jolt, and Free Guy. Whew we have been busy. Let's talk about them all! Enjoy!

Happy February! It's been a while since we've had an episode with just the members of JAM! At this point, we have cleared the infamous 'year of pain' that is comprised of spring of D1 and fall of D2 year, when the didactic portion of dental school rained down heavily upon us. In that time, we experienced many 'firsts'. First local anesthetic injections on each other. First prophy appointment. First time using a handpiece on real teeth and applying sealants. First shot of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. And for Jake... his first kiss. Whew! What a time! We're just jesting on that last point... or are we? Listen to find out... We also share some of our own shifts in mindset towards dental school - new goals, so to speak. Four years is a long time, and interests and priorities are bound to shift. Perhaps it will be fun to listen to these thoughts even later this year to see what else has changed.Tell us about some of your 'firsts' from dental school! We'd love to hear about them.In any case, we hope you enjoy this episode. Cheers!

Kelly and Megan catch up on the end of summer activities, updates with no updates, Hard Knocks convo, nail swatches, 'Dak is just fine, relax' discussion, NFC East predictions and a brief lesson on Mexican currency. Whew. Tune in and enjoy!

Join Inside Towers Managing Editor Jim Fryer in this third installment of “Tower Masters”. This series focuses on the men and women who, for decades, have not only survived, but thrived as independent operators in the wireless infrastructure field. Inside Towers talks with longtime developer in the wireless infrastructure space, Jimmy Chiles. Although Chiles is now an Operating Partner with Digital Bridge, his career spans the gamut from 600-site towerco owner to founding and developing several fiber and data center operations. Chiles began his career in the late ‘70's with Motorola and went on to found Netlink, a facilities based 850 MHz CMRS operator which he sold to Sprint in 1999. He then started TPI, a provider of metro fiber and enterprise data centers he later sold to ExteNet Systems. Next was his towerco venture, Broadcast Towers, which sold to Global Signal (now Crown Castle). Following that, Chiles founded Aspen Communications, an ethernet based metro fiber business in Dallas, then Alpheus, a provider of metro fiber and enterprise data centers. Most recently, prior to joining DigitalBridge, Chiles was an Executive VP with ExteNet. (Whew!)Listen in on this lively half-hour discussion between two long-time acquaintances in the industry as they cover the myriad of issues facing the tower sector. Support the show (https://insidetowers.com/subscription/)

WHEW!!! Last night's episode of Put A Ring on It was explosive! We got to see how much of a gaslighter Darion is. ***SPOILER ALERT*** This episode is not for you if you have not seen S2 EP8 please do NOT listen. You should watch the episode FIRST before listening. Deja and I are going to discuss why women should NOT have children without the commitment of marriage, men asking for a woman to PLAY WIFEY without BEING wifey. This episode is loaded, pay attention. Darion and Eric are extremely disrespectful toward their live-in girlfriends and the spirit of compromise is not within them. Jessica and Alexia have been tied down to these good-for-nothing men for so long that they've become accepting and familiar of their partners' disrespect. If you don't like being held accountable, THIS EPISODE IF NOT FOR YOU. If you're not into personal growth and don't have standards, THIS EPISODE is NOT for you. Let's get into it!!

In today's episode of Truth Wanted! Objectively Dan is hosting alongside Cynthia McDonald, an infectious disease case manager and one of our fellow Non Prophets. Welcome to the show, Cynthia. We're happy to hear your perspective.First up in the calls, a hypothetical scenario: Imagine you were born on a desert Island with nobody else around to teach you about language. How would that define your reality? Matthew In California calls to discuss this very question. Thanks for the discussion, Matthew!Alex in New York is trying to make sense of solipsism and wonders if we really are just brains in a jar. We appreciate the discussion, but is it actually possible to prove one way or another? We're not sure, but it's a fun thought to entertain. Keep thinking on it, Alex.William in Alaska called to talk about the gross misrepresentation of truth in modern day politics. The quick spread of misinformation is scary with everyday Americans choosing to trust non-experts for their political commentary. Unfortunately the internet makes it so easy to spread a false narrative these days. We just have to keep having one-on-one conversations to combat this very serious societal issue.Last is Joe in Virginia who's a theist and wants to know why atheist activism is so important to us. Although many people try to misrepresent our intentions, we believe promoting critical thinking, preventing the spread of misinformation and shining light on problematic views can create positive change within our society. Whew! We had some great discussion tonight. Thank you so much to our co-host and remember to stay funky, get your vaccine, wear your mask, be nice to others and always keep wanting the truth! See you next week.

For the past several years, I've chosen a word (or words) of the year in January, a theme to keep me focused on a particular goal or area. In 2021, my word was simplicity. I think I needed that after 2020. Plus, in January 2021, things were still looking a bit bleak. COVID numbers were high, I hate winter, a bunch of traitors tried to destroy our U.S. Capitol and harm lawmakers. Whew.   “Simplicity” was quite different from my planned 2020 words of “Explore + Act” (that changed once the pandemic hit) and my 2019 word, “leap.”   But in 2021, I vowed I was going to lean in to simplicity. Well, now it's August and I'm fighting with myself over that word. I feel like different sides of my personality are battling with each other. Simplicity is lovely and relaxing. But simplicity is also status quo and holding off on big ideas.   I want to explore—and act—on the big ideas I have for this podcast, not sit back and contemplate. But then there's the other side of me that likes living a calm, simple life.   Several of my podcast guests have talked about setting big goals and not sticking with the status quo. While I get excited about that in theory, what I don't say to them is: That sounds like a lot of work. And I don't know if I want to work more. I don't know that I want to set that big goal and have to put in all the extra hours to achieve it. I like working less than 30 hours a week and not on the weekends.   Is that my fear talking? Am I just lazy? Am I just scared of leaving my comfort zone?   Is it OK to just stay the same with my business? Is it OK to just be comfortable?   Of course it is. But how can I embrace simplicity when I want to explore—and act—on those big ideas?    After almost eight years of freelancing, I'm thinking about scaling up more than at any other time. For me, this involves two sides of my business: MelEdits and Deliberate Freelancer.   Let's talk about scaling up. It's a buzzy, jargony, marketing phrase. And I think when we hear it as freelance business owners, we often think that means becoming an agency, or at least hiring a few subcontractors and doing more strategy work, rather than the doing the actual implementation.   But scaling up does not have to mean becoming an agency. And being successful in your freelance business does not mean the next logical step is becoming an agency. You can remain a company of one forever. Hiring virtual assistants and subcontractors as needed can be great, but you don't even have to do that if you don't want to. I, for one, want to keep doing the writing and editing.   So, are there other ways to grow your business? What about this idea of passive income? Selling books, courses, templates and other products. (Of course none of this is really passive because you have to create it and then continue to market it.)   I am now thinking of Deliberate Freelancer not just as a podcast, but as a business—as the freelance knowledge and community side of my business.   What if Deliberate Freelancer could build and foster a community—a community of you all, freelance business owners? And what if it could then offer you services to help you grow your freelance business?   Listen to this podcast episode for all the ideas swirling around in my head and stay tuned for how Deliberate Freelancer will be expanding. This free podcast will remain, but there will be new opportunities and offers for you soon.   Have new ideas for Deliberate Freelancer and where it should go? Please let me know! Email me at melanie@meledits.com or tweet me or DM me on Twitter @MelEdits.   So, how can you scale up, or create a new arm of your business, or make more money—but doing that by doing what you love? What big, bold idea gets you excited?   Creating an agency isn't for everyone. Taking on more work isn't always the right call. Think creatively and do what ignites a fire in your belly.   Biz Bite: Don't Do Everything Right Now   The Bookshelf: “Falling” by T.J.

About Serena Serena Tiede is a SRE at Optum, a healthcare technology company that manages everything from the delivery of care to the management of patient data. Prior to becoming an SRE they were a Kafka operator for real time security logging and ingestion. In their off time, they moonlight as the proud admin of an incredibly over engineered Minecraft server.  Links: Optim: https://www.optum.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SerenaTiede Personal Blog: https://blog.serenacodes.com TranscriptAnnouncer: Hello, and welcome to Screaming in the Cloud with your host, Chief Cloud Economist at The Duckbill Group, Corey Quinn. This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: Your company might be stuck in the middle of a DevOps revolution without even realizing it. Lucky you! Does your company culture discourage risk? Are you willing to admit it? Does your team have clear responsibilities? Depends on who you ask. Are you struggling to get buy in on DevOps practices? Well, download the 2021 State of DevOps report brought to you annually by Puppet since 2011 to explore the trends and blockers keeping evolution firms stuck in the middle of their DevOps evolution. Because they fail to evolve or die like dinosaurs. The significance of organizational buy in, and oh it is significant indeed, and why team identities and interaction models matter. Not to mention weither the use of automation and the cloud translate to DevOps success. All that and more awaits you. Visit: www.puppet.com to download your copy of the report now!Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by Thinkst. This is going to take a minute to explain, so bear with me. I linked against an early version of their tool, canarytokens.org in the very early days of my newsletter, and what it does is relatively simple and straightforward. It winds up embedding credentials, files, that sort of thing in various parts of your environment, wherever you want to; it gives you fake AWS API credentials, for example. And the only thing that these things do is alert you whenever someone attempts to use those things. It's an awesome approach. I've used something similar for years. Check them out. But wait, there's more. They also have an enterprise option that you should be very much aware of canary.tools. You can take a look at this, but what it does is it provides an enterprise approach to drive these things throughout your entire environment. You can get a physical device that hangs out on your network and impersonates whatever you want to. When it gets Nmap scanned, or someone attempts to log into it, or access files on it, you get instant alerts. It's awesome. If you don't do something like this, you're likely to find out that you've gotten breached, the hard way. Take a look at this. It's one of those few things that I look at and say, “Wow, that is an amazing idea. I love it.” That's canarytokens.org and canary.tools. The first one is free. The second one is enterprise-y. Take a look. I'm a big fan of this. More from them in the coming weeks.Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I'm Corey Quinn. A recurring theme of this show has been for a while, where does the next generation of cloud engineer come from because the path I walked of being a grumpy Unix admin isn't really as commonly available as it once was, and honestly, I wouldn't wish my path on anyone in good conscience. My guest today is Serena Tiede, who's a site reliability engineer at Optim and didn't start their career as a grumpy systems administrator. Serena, welcome to the show.Serena: Hey, thanks for having me. I'm so pumped to be here.Corey: Don't worry, that will soon pass. What I'm wondering is, you didn't come to be an SRE through a giant ops background of clawing your way up by dealing with hardware and data centers and driving at unsafe speeds in the middle of the night because someone tripped over a patch cable in the data center. You have a combination of traditional/non-traditional background. Tell me about that.Serena: Yeah. So, it's funny you mentioned hardware. So, I went to school for electrical engineering, went to University of Minnesota because you want to do engineering, you pretty much going to one of the big state schools in the Midwest. So, I grew up and was like, “I want to be a hardware designer.” I'm terrible at it. So terrible. [laugh].Corey: Wait, I didn't realize that you could want to be things you were bad at. If somebody told me that early on my career, it's, “Huh. This might have taken a very different turn, and far more productive one.” I just assumed if I wasn't good at something I should give up and never try it again.Serena: Oh, I took the courses and was like, “Whoa, this is circuit design? Not for me.” Then I ended up just taking a bunch of engineering math courses. So, I took communications, the digital signal processing, controls, and started programming. I was like, all right, let's do embedded systems. No one was hiring and then come internship time, there's this little company that I've never heard of called Optim. And they're like, “We want software engineers.” Well, I can write C. Does that count?Corey: Oh, question, of course, to really ask is, “Oh, can you really write C having gone through it?” The more I talk to people who've been writing C for their entire career, and you ask them, “Can you write C?” The answer is, “Not really slash reliably. I can basically type and sometimes it works.” And, “Oh, thank God they're mortal, too.” Was my response.Serena: Oh, my opinion: no one should learn C unless there are specific reasons why. And those reasons are: you're doing embedded systems where I had to learn how to write in assembly, for three weeks, and then my professor at the end said, “Hey, we're writing C. Be thankful; it's a high-level language.”Corey: That is terrifying. But let's get back to this idea of you going to school for electrical engineering, and you didn't just dabble in it; you graduated with a degree in electrical engineering, didn't you?Serena: Oh, yes, I did. I graduated. It was fun even though, unfortunately, it still had my dead name on the diploma. So, I refer to that as my… matrix, Mr. Smith moment. [laugh].Corey: They won't go back and edit and reissue it under your actual name?Serena: I haven't bothered to look, but I almost consider it just kind of hilarious and just keeping it that way.Corey: No. Again, I am not one to ever advise people how to deal with names. When I changed my name back in 2010 or so I wound up getting a whole lot of strange looks over it. And honestly, it is no one's business, except how you interact with a name. Not the direction that we need to go in on this. I'm more interested in understanding, on some level, how you got a degree as an electrical engineer and then immediately landed a job writing software. That one feels a little strange. Can you talk me through it?Serena: Oh, yeah. So, pretty much I took a bunch of operating systems classes and was like, “Wow, this computer science thing is cool.” But I was too far in the electrical engineering track to change degrees. So, I got the degree, ended up working at Optim. I originally started off in security, oddly enough, for my internship, then came back, did a—you know, we have a rotational program so I did security for six months and then… I wound up on this team for my second rotation where their literal job description, “Write RESTful APIs in streaming applications.”Corey: So, it wasn't even a software job that focused on the close-to-the-hardware stuff where you're doing embedded systems. Like, that would at least make a bit more intuitive sense to the way I see the world. No, this was full-on up-the-stack REST API stuff.Serena: Oh, yeah. I tried embedded, but in my market, it was all medical devices, and between all of us listening here, I don't do well with medicine. Get very squeaked out, very faint. So decided, all right, let's go up the stack, and turns out, it's, like, okay, Kafka Streams. And then we were trying to figure out, “Okay, why our services—like, how do we know if it's saturated?”I'm like, “Oh, well, we have this Prometheus thing. This sounds cool.” And it was deployed on, like, you know, a rudimentary Kubernetes cluster. “Oh, hey, there's this cool service discovery thing. Let's do that.” And then one thing led to another. Thanos was coming out, and before it had a release candidate, I decided my claim to fame at the company was like, “All right, let's do this Thanos thing because it seems really cool. I read about it on Reddit.” And the distinguished engineer in the room was like, “Oh, yeah, I heard about it on Hacker News. Do it.” I did; it was rough, but it was so cool. And then I come back, like, a year later because I went back to security for a wee bit, and the same monitoring stack is still there. And they were like, “Hey, can you do more monitoring things and pivot to observability?”Corey: Yeah, let's skip past the obvious joke that I could make about someone at a healthcare company saying, “Let's do it because I read about it last night on Hacker News,” because it's just too easy at some point. It's odd, though, because I always held the belief, somewhat publicly, that an SRE role was not going to be a junior role. It was something that required quasi-significant experience to wind up moving into it, it's always felt like a transition from traditional ops roles or folks who are deep in the weeds that have been doing software engineering at scale to a point where they see how these systems fail over time in production scenarios. It doesn't sound like that was your path at all. Not to delegitimize your path by any stretch of the imagination. This is more to do with me reevaluating how I view SRE, as a field that people get into and how they approach it.Serena: I just fell into it. And the reason why I bring up my digital signal processing background is a lot of the SRE stuff I look at all of our time-series metrics, and it's like, “Oh. Well, this is just a real-time stream of data that we scrape periodically.” And it's like, “Oh, cool. So, we can look at our averages, percentiles, I can eventually do some really cool fancy digital filtering.” And kind of was like, “Oh, wow. I, kind of, know the math behind a lot of this stuff and just have to just brute force apply it in places.”Corey: Tell me a little bit more about that because with my approach to SRE—which let's be clear, was fairly crap—the math that I tended to do was mostly addition and subtraction, and for the really deep stuff, I used the most common tool to manage anything at scale, Microsoft Excel, and that mostly handled even the addition and subtraction for me what math?Serena: So, for me, a lot of it comes down to—I actually have my signals book in the other room—the big concept behind all these systems is the concept of sampling. You're not going to, real-time, get memory and CPU data every second. Processors are running at gigahertz of speed, you would need double that to recreate your signal with full fidelity. That's the Nyquist sampling theorem. But you kind of can fudge the numbers a little bit and just say, “Ehh, do we need that granular detail?”We're not trying to reproduce what happens in the past, we're just trying to see what's going on now. So, I say okay, 15-second scrape interval, things are looking good and then rolling into what I'm doing later of applying, like, “All right, let's do some fun control loops,” because people wanted service-level objectives. People want service-level objectives; everyone loves them some SLOs and SLAs. No one wants to figure out, by hand, what their baseline is. But again, some fancy—this is more controls math—figure out what your baseline is just automatically and do some little magic in the frequency domain, courtesy of Laplace transforms, and that's it. I can just automate that for you and remove the human from the equation.Corey: I'm still somewhat astounded by the fact that people calculate these things out mathematically instead of, you know, dead reckoning and confident-sounding estimation.Serena: It's really just bringing that electr—like, controls background to software. Honestly, I'm kind of baffled that no one else is found this hack because I'm just thinking, “Oh, well, I can't be that unique. Someone else has to have done that.” And then I talk to the people in the room and it's like, “Oh, wait, no, I am the only person here.” [laugh].So, that's my whole thing. Everything is just applied math. And all of our human dead reckoning, it's great, but it doesn't scale well. You know, my boss wanted me to figure out how to do our SLOs for the entire team, and turns out realist—and when it came time to hire, realistically, cloning myself was not an option. [laugh]. So—Corey: For better or worse, it seems like it isn't. So, what was your first exposure to the SRE-style space? You started off in security, but looking at the timelines on this, it wasn't that long ago. It feels like you were probably not exposed, in many cases, to physical data centers as much as you would be cloud, or at least not having to image bare-metal systems. Were you up at the AMI level, or was it beyond that in having virtual machines that moved around into full-on containers, or serverless?Serena: So, I started my internship in 2016, and got my full-time offer in 2017. And we started having our—container platforms started becoming this up-and-coming thing. You know, my lead engineers were like, “All right, you've got to learn this thing called ‘Docker.'” And I have never heard of it, but I was just amazed that, “Wow, I can just run these little, little itty bitty pods anywhere on this hardware.” And later on, I did do some, like, virtual machine stuff, but I've had the luxury of all of these years of pain and toil, to be able to say, “Oh, yeah. I can just manage things with Ansible, create my Docker files, and do everything from a code deploy pipeline style. And it was awesome.” And I just can't fathom what it's like to work without those tools, but knowing… the past, it's kind of like, “Wow, we have gotten a lot farther. Things are abstracted. This is actually kind of nice.”Corey: It kind of is, on some level. I feel like my initial reticence towards containers—I gave a talk: “Heresy in the Church of Docker,” which sort of put me on the speaker map once upon a time—and it was about all the things that Docker as a technology didn't really have good answers for. Honestly, the reason that I gave the talk was I assumed that it did have answers and I was just unaware of them, and I just gave the talk so I could publicly become the idiot who didn't know what they were talking about and then get “well actually'd” to death by [ducks 00:12:40] slash Googlers. And it turns out that no, no, at that point in time, these things were not well understood or solved for. The observability stories, the metrics, the logging, the orchestration, the security story, the how you handle things like state, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.And Kubernetes these days has largely solved a lot of those problems, but I don't dabble in those spaces just because of outright ornery. Back then it was a weird problem, but these problems have largely gotten solved in some ways. But I sort of just skipped over the whole Kubernetes slash container renaissance, and personally, I went directly into the serverless world. What's your take on that?Serena: Oh, so as someone who loved Kubernetes, I was a serverless skeptic, initially. I was like, “Well, I can just build my Docker file and write the deployment manifest. No big deal.” And then I started working on my side project. For, I think, better purposes, my iCloud account is tied to my credit card and I have to actually be on the hook for cloud bills. And I use GCP for my home lab and lo and behold, 1 million requests a month for free. And I love the sound of free when it's my money on the line.Corey: Oh, yeah, company money versus enterprise money, radically different scales. I mean, if you try and sell me personally a $50 hamburger, I'm going to tell you to go to hell. If you try to sell me, as representative of my company, a $50 hamburger, I'm going to need a receipt.Serena: Exactly. And then also, like I'm just running through, I was redoing one of my serverless functions and watching the deploy steps. And then one of my coworkers introduced me, he's like, “Hey, Serena, you hear this thing called ‘Buildpack?'” and I'm like, “No. What on earth is that thing?” And he's like, “Oh, well, you take your code, and then it just magically turns into a container.” I'm like, “Well, crap. Show me.” And lo and behold, code goes in one end, nice little container comes out the other. And that crap was magic.Corey: It really does change the world if you let it. I think. I know it sounds like a ridiculous, I guess, hype-driven thing to say, but for the right use case, it's great because it removes the entire administrative burden from running services. Now, critics are going to say that well, that means you're just putting all of your reliability in the hands of your cloud provider. Yeah, we're kind of all doing that already; serverless just, sort of, forces us to be a little bit more honest with ourselves about that.Serena: Oh, yeah. I mean, even if you self-host things, you're relying on your data center ops people to, like, make sure, oh, I don't know, your machines don't literally catch fire. We literally had a bug one time where it's like, “Why is this one node bad?” “Oh, actually—hey, did you increase the fan speed?” Someone had to literally go increase the fan speed for whatever servers, which, again, in the serverless and cloud provider world, I don't think about that. The cloud is just infinite to me. It's just computers and APIs as far as the eye can see. It's wonderful.Corey: It really is. It's amazing, and it's high level, and on some level, you went from getting a degree that required you to write assembly and super low-level stuff and figure it out hardware works into, let's be honest, writing in your primary language, which for all of us in SRE-land is, of course, YAML.Serena: Oh, I am a very spicy YAML engineer. YAML and a little bit of Go for what I need to make things go.Corey: You ever notice there's never a language called ‘Stay,' or ‘Stop,' or anything like that? It's always about moving to the next thing. And we in engineering always have sprint after sprint after sprint. Never a, “It's a marathon, not a sprint. Relax. Walk. Enjoy the journey.” Nope, nope, nope. Faster, further, sooner.Serena: Yeah, it is honestly weird because my relatively short career span, you know, it's 2021 and I graduated in 2017. The company is like, “Hey, you're a senior software engineer now.” Here's a program, here's a budget. Go forth.Corey: Oh, that's lucky. It must have been amazing to have an actual budget. When I started out, I was in one of those shops where it's, “Yeah, Palo Alto wants $4,000 for that appliance. That's okay. We have some crappy instances and pfSense, and you know, we could wind up spending eight weeks of your time to build something not as good. Get on it.”Serena: While the hilarious part is I'm stressing out about every single dollar I'm spending and then my boss is like, “Oh, you know, your budget is super small potatoes, right, compared to like our other stuff? Don't sweat it. It's fine.”Corey: I keep making this point to the cloud providers where they're somewhat parsimonious free tiers are damaging longer-term adoption because I look at building something myself, in my spare time in my dorm room or whatnot, and I'm spinning up some instances that talk to each other and I want to use a load balancer and I want to use a managed NAT gateway—God forbid—and at the end of the month, I get a bill for $300. And it's, what the hell is this? I thought I was on the free tier and it scares the living hell out of us. So, we learn not to use those services that are higher level and differentiated. And then when we start working in environments that have budgeting and are corporate, we still remember that, and, “Oh, don't use that thing. It's expensive.” And you'll inadvertently spend 80 times as much in what your employer is paying for your time, rather than using the high-level thing because they could not care less about a $500 a month charge. And it's this weird thing that really serves as a drag on adoption.Serena: It's super wei—I actually literally had this conversation with one of my engineers who wanted to, “Hey, we're trying to expose a GRPC thing.” And I had issues getting it to work with an ingress. And he's like, “Do you want me to take a crack at that?” And I'm like, “Look at the price of the load balancer.” And I'm like, “Unless you can figure it out in half an hour… it is literally more expensive for you to continue tilting at that windmill than for us to just leave it be.” [laugh]. And it's also weird. I have my personal stuff where I'm trying to keep my cloud bill to, you know, maybe a humble $100 a month max, versus, “Oh, the enterprise? Oh, yeah. That's just logging that you're paying for.” Which is baffling to me.Corey: I feel like as engineers, we always, always, always fall into this trap. And maybe I fall into it worse than others because my entire business is actually lowering the bill. But when I started as an independent consultant, my bill was something like seven bucks a month, which yeah, I'm pretty content with that. And I started looking at ways to golf it lower, which in most cases is never worth the time, but in my case, I should really understand every penny of the AWS bill or I'm going to have a problem someday. And now I look at it recently because we have a number of engineers building things here, and our bill was over $2,000 a month.And true story, by the way, it turns out that your AWS bill is not so much a function of how many customers you have; it's how many engineers you have. And I look at this and, “Oh, my God, we need to fix that immediately.” And I spent a little bit of time on it and knocked 500 bucks off, and, “Whew, that's better.” And it still bugs me to see a $1500 bill; it feels like it's an awful lot of money. I mean, think of what you can buy for 1500 bucks a month.And then in the context of the larger business picture, compared to payroll, compared to all the other nonsense we use, like Tableau, for example, it's nothing. It is a rounding error that gets lost in the weeds. I never understood that before having access to company budgets. When I was an employee, this was never explained to me, so I was always optimizing for absolutely the wrong thing in hindsight. It feels like this is part of the problem that we run into as a culture when we don't give our staff context to make the right decisions.Serena: Yeah, I actually do appreciate the way my company does things because I am, like—not personally, my bank account, but I am, like, responsible if someone should ask, “Hey, what's this charge for?” I have to say, “Oh, well, it's for all of these things, and we need that.” But for the most part, it's been really weird to, kind of, learn, like, one of the ways I, kind of, sped up my, like, “Okay, I need to learn how business works. What do I do?” Well, quite honestly, a lot of my cloud cost tips I have learned from your various podcasts. [laugh].Corey: Uh-oh, that's a problem.Serena: No, but like, all of a sudden, all this stuff and just hanging out on tech Twitter and hearing all the advice of people and then… it was, kind of a weird way of, like, yeah, years-wise, yeah, some people might look me askance and be, like, “You're really a senior engineer?” But then they hear me speak and it's all about like, “Oh, well, I”—again—“I stand on the shoulders of giants,” which is awesome, and I'm honestly just hoping that one day I will write something that is very cool and then someone will say, “Oh, well, they were right on these things, but not right on this. Let's edit this to make it a little bit better.” And the standing on the shoulders of giants trend continues.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part my Cribl Logstream. Cirbl Logstream is an observability pipeline that lets you collect, reduce, transform, and route machine data from anywhere, to anywhere. Simple right? As a nice bonus it not only helps you improve visibility into what the hell is going on, but also helps you save money almost by accident. Kind of like not putting a whole bunch of vowels and other letters that would be easier to spell in a company name. To learn more visit: cribl.ioCorey: I'm a little taken aback by the fact that you've learned a lot of this stuff from the podcast because I tend to envision when I'm telling stories about this, companies that show ads, or my mythical Twitter for Pets startup. I have to remember that there are banks, like, is one of the examples of serious businesses that I use all the time. But you're in healthcare. I'm sorry, that's more serious than finance, just because—I hate to say this because it sounds incredibly privileged and I don't even care—it's only money. What is money compared to the worth of someone's life?I don't think that you can ever draw an equivalent and I feel dirty every time I try. When you're working with things that impact people's ability to access healthcare, that is more important than showing banner ads. And a lot of the stories I tell about, “Maybe it's okay to have downtime.” Because yeah, if AWS takes a region down issue for an afternoon and you can't show ads to people or your website isn't working, yeah, that's kind of sad and it's obviously not great for your business, but at the same time, the stories in the news are always about Amazon's issue, not about your specific issue. If you're in an environment where there's a possibility that people will die if what you have built is not available, we're having a radically different conversation.Serena: Exactly. Fortunately, for me, I personally, not working in the, like, kind of, care delivery space, but the stuff I'm working on right now is supporting, you know, that lovely end-of-the-year where it's open enrollment, all the employers are saying, “Hey, time to re-up your benefits.” Yeah, it's kind of a big deal that our site doesn't go down. Because—Corey: Yeah. And open enrollment, to my understanding, changes based upon what plan you're on. I've known companies that have open enrollment in the summertime. I believe ours winds up coinciding pretty closely with the calendar year, but I've certainly worked in environments where that wasn't true. So, being able to say, “Oh, it's fine. It's April; no one's doing open enrollment now.” Is it actually true?Serena: So, it totally depends on which part of your business. If you're going through the healthcare exchanges, that's usually more in the fall. I think the Medicare plans, those are a little bit before the individual enrollments. And there's a ton of these things that even though I just work tangentially, that I'm just not even in the know for. And then, of course, we talk about open enrollment, but the thing that a lot of people don't really talk about is, so what happens when your plan goes live on January first of the next year? Yep. Our site's still got to be up. And it's a responsibility I take really seriously because it impacts so many people.Corey: It really does. And it shouldn't, to be clear. I try to avoid getting overly political on this podcast, but the state of healthcare in the United States as of the time of this recording is barbaric. And I really, really, really hope there comes a day where someone's listening to this and laughing because it's such an antiquated and outmoded story that isn't true anymore. But I'm terrified that it won't be.And yeah, having access to a website lets you sign up for healthcare during a limited period of availability, if you miss that window, you don't have healthcare, in many cases, until the following year when open enrollment opens again, or honestly, you wind up changing jobs because that is a qualifying event to change healthcare. “Well, I missed the open enrollment window, so I have to quit and take a job somewhere else,” is a terrifying thing. It's bad for the business for a variety of reasons, but that pales in comparison to the fact that people have to make life-altering career decisions based upon a benefit that is routed through an employer when it should not be. Okay, I'll climb off my soapbox.Serena: Oh, it's bizarre to me. Honestly, for better or worse—I argue worse—but I'm honestly optimistic. One of the weirdest things I saw that stuck out from the most recent stimulus bill was, “Oh, hey. We're having a special enrollment period during a pandemic.” And I'm like, “You know, it's not a hundred percent.Maybe we should just extend it to the whole year.” But it's better than what was the previous state, where it's like I can't make—I mean, even in my work life, I can't make everything perfect. I can't make outages go away, but I can make things just a touch better. And that's all I can do.Corey: Sometimes all we can do, and I wish there were better ways to handle that. I don't know what the future is going to hold, but I also think that there are bright areas. There are aspects that are promising as far as the future being brighter than today. The overall trend—I hope—is for humanity to uplift itself.Serena: Totally.Corey: Again, I do want to highlight that you went in a very strange direction where you went from software engineering—a generally pleasant job—to SRE, which is horrible and would not be recommended to anyone. What guidance would you have for people who are, for some godforsaken reason, trying to figure out what their career trajectory is going to be like, and thinking that they might want to become an SRE—even if they're not in tech yet—because for some reason they hear the stories and think there's some nobility in suffering or whatnot?Serena: Well, for starters, for me, it kind of came down to get real good with this great math. It's boring, but that's kind of the bread and butter of the concepts I've learned. Also for junior people, if you're also just curious—say you've written an app, go over to OpenTelemetry. Go, like, instrument your stuff and see how many requests you get in a day. Start getting your hands dirty with instrumentation.Look at how cool it is, and then maybe you want to start structuring your logs; maybe you start end up doing tracing. But at the end of the day, it's all, for me, I think best learning is just experiential, and you know, one of the things where how do you learn from production outages? Go to happy hour with some of the senior people and listen to the stories that they tell. With enough time they become funny, but they're also valuable learning things.Corey: The aspect I would push back on is the hard requirement around discrete math. I don't deny that it has been helpful for what you've done and how you do it. I don't know how any of that stuff works on paper; I have an eighth-grade education. That was never my path and never my strong suit. I would agree that knowing it would have made aspects of what I do easier, but the bulk of it I don't necessarily know that I would agree. I guess, my counterpoint slash pushback would be that if you thought you'd like this, but you don't want to deal with the math, it's not a hard requirement, and I don't think that I would frame it as one.Serena: Actually, that is a very good catch. It is not a hard requirement. I am not sitting here in my notebook, scribbling away at equations. But the concepts that I've learned from a while back, it's the concepts are way more important than the actual computation itself. Because computers do that, and a computer will absolutely run circles around me.Corey: Most of us do, unless, you know, the computer is an overheating processor from Intel. But that's a little bit of a low blow. Not that it stopped me. But it was a low blow.Serena: Well, I mean, your local science supply shop might have some liquid nitrogen. Maybe.Corey: So, what's next for you? You started off in security slash software engineering, transitioned on over to SRE work. What's the next step? What's the beyond for you?Serena: Ohh, great question. So, I don't really know. I'm enjoying the SRE thing. At some point, might write a book trying to make all the concepts I have learned from my electrical engineering degree, maybe a bit more accessible, be it a series of blog posts, maybe a book. I would love to get a book published. And honestly, just writing more because knowledge should be shared, and if someone learns something from my nonsense experiments on my home lab, then cool; it's all worth it.Corey: I'd agree with that. I'm a big fan of learning in public. One of the, I guess, magical things that I do, for lack of a better term, is that I will stumble my way through learning a new concept that I have no idea what I'm doing, and when I get lost, I call it out because invariably, I'm not the only person who runs into that problem. But for folks who don't have—I don't know if it's the platform, the seniority, the perceived gravitas, the very intentional misdirection where I fooled the entire world into thinking I know what the hell I'm doing, whatever that is, most people have a problem with admitting they don't know something and learning in public, so anytime I can take up that mantle or that burden, I love doing it, just because I don't have any technical credibility to lose from my point of view. I wish that were more accepted and more common. That's why I'm so intentional about being able to talk, on some level, about the things I don't understand or the things that I don't get.Serena: I love that. I used to read a bunch of philosophy books, way back when, and my big thing, this great quote—I always get it confused, Plato or Socrates, but it's, “I know that I know nothing,” and I just run with that because I mean, even though fortunately, for me, my corner of the internet, as a non-binary person, no one's really mean to me when I say, “Okay, I broke my DNS,” because, honestly, I knew DNS conceptually when I was setting up my Minecraft server for friends, but I never really got it until I, well, kind of, broke it, [laugh] and eventually fixed it. But I hope that over time, it becomes more acceptable to say, “I don't know things.” Within my team, I tell anyone that's working with me when they're asking me a question, say, “I don't know, but I have a feeling this rabbit hole, this trail of crumbs might lead us to an answer.” And then it's a fun little adventure.Corey: I miss the days when I could describe what I do is a fun little adventure. It's now, “Oh, dear Lord, it's this bullshit again.” [sigh]. That was my sign that I was burned out, in time, find other things to do than keeping sites up.Now, I have no on-call responsibilities because there's no real site to keep up. Thank you, serverless, I get to sleep at night again. But there are times I miss aspects of working in the trenches, of being able to dive deep into a problem on a very large scale architecture. The grass is always greener, somehow.Serena: The grass is always greener. In a weird way, I actually, I complain about my on-call weeks, but I actually kind of love them. There's a weird camaraderie about all of us dealing with a shared thing. And on my team, it's really cool because we do this whole thing where, you know, I have these junior people asking, “Oh, am I going to go on call?” And we're like, “Well, unfortunately, you're not quite fully baked yet. Not quite ready. Once you're here longer with us, then yeah, we'll go walk you through a game day and make sure you can do all the things. But being on-call, it should not be a punishment for people.” Honestly, it's just the greatest feedback mechanism that guides me because I say, “Wow, this stinks. This could be better.” And then try to make it better.Corey: If people want to learn more about what you're up to, how you think about these things, or potentially even reach out for advice, where can they find you?Serena: So, I am on Twitter at @Serena—S-E-R-E-N-A—Tiede—T-I-E-D-E. DMs are open; come bug me. I got my lovely blog. It's just blog.serenacodes.com. It's pretty bare-bones, but I'll have some new content up there hopefully pretty soon, once I get around to writing it. And say hi. I like meeting new people and learning new things. Adventures await.Corey: And we will, of course, put a link to that in the [show notes 00:34:30]. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me. I really appreciate it, Serena.Serena: Hey, thank you. I am so happy to be here. This was one of my life goals, and now I don't know what to do now that I've gone up here.Corey: That's the problem with achieving these bucket list items. It's, “Oh, well, I wake up the following day. Now, what do I do?” And when life eventually returns to normal, on some level. [laugh]. Thanks so much for your time. I really appreciate it.Serena: Thank you. Have a great day.Corey: Serena Tiede, site reliability engineer at Optim. I'm Cloud Economist Corey Quinn and this is Screaming in the Cloud.

Last summer was… dark. And the episodes I recorded at that time? Whew. Dark. In this one, I talk about how allegory is a beautiful thing. Sometimes... it can be chilling. There's no way Edgar Allan Poe could have predicted President Prospero, but the parallels are there if you listen. --Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!-- Website: pendantaudio.com Twitter: @pendantweb Facebook: facebook.com/pendantaudio Tumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.com YouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions

Whew, we are coming in HOT for our second episode of our Relationship series!

Happy Thursday, Goddess! Pour rum. Pour honey. Pour sea water. Let's talk emancipation, liberation, and true freedom on this -- Emancipation Week. Can you see the magical photo ABOVE of our (yours and my) niece we have never met in Brazil? I love all of the pics of you holding and reading and doing the rituals in my new book African Goddess Initiation -- keep 'em coming, please! But my absolute favorite pic is this magical one above. Goddess Rachel in Brazil sent me this photo of her beautiful and intuitive niece as they watch my Goddess Temple live broadcasts on Hay House together. (We resume LIVE this week Sunday at 11am EST on FB & IG @abiolaTV and Wednesday at 2pm EST on @ hayhouse on IF & FB.) Goddess Rachel and her niece both have such powerful energy. I burst out crying when I saw this image all the way from Brazil. She gave me permission to share it with you. In my head I have named this photo, "teach the babies." Goddess Antranette, who is featured on page 106 of my new Hay House book, African Goddess Initiation: Sacred Rituals for Self-Love, Prosperity and Joy taps into the energy of liberation by doing womb divination. When she saw this image of this magical child on my Instagram, she commented, "Whew. Wasn't that what this is all about!" And it is true. TEACH THE BABIES. And don't ever let anyone tell you that your voice doesn't matter. I was told that sharing the way of the goddess was a dead end. If we don't heal it we pass it on. If we don't remember it, the next generation won't have it to even forget. As we heal ourselves, we heal those who came before. As we reclaim ourselves, we heal those who come after. We are local. We are global. We are cosmic. We are brand new and ancient. I look forward to the books, podcasts, classes and things we can't even imagine that baby girl will create in the future. She is Yemanja. Yemaya. Yemoja. She is Oxum. Osun. Oshun. She is the fire next time, the fire this time, mother and daughter of the Earth and ether. She is me and I am she. I am you and you are we.

Pour rum. Pour honey. Pour sea water. For my ancestors, not far over from Brazil, after the enslaved people were “freed” from chattel slavery in Guyana, South American, a 4 year period of “Apprenticeship“ was enacted where they were required to continue working for free. So freedom wasn't freedom. It was the illusion of freedom. Then the enslavers were paid reparations for losing their “income!” Every year on Emancipation Day, amongst other things, I owe it to my ancestors to assess where I am creating the illusion of freedom in my life rather than really living it. When I was chained to a job I didn't like, or an emotionally abusive relationship, I was not truly living free. The golden chains are the ones that look good, but still make us miserable. There are still many systemic chains disguised as isms, but oftentimes for me, the mental chains are the strongest. So Happy Emancipation, my friend- How do you live free in your own life?

Happy Thursday, Goddess! Pour rum. Pour honey. Pour sea water. Let's talk emancipation, liberation, and true freedom on this -- Emancipation Week. Can you see the magical photo ABOVE of our (yours and my) niece we have never met in Brazil? I love all of the pics of you holding and reading and doing the rituals in my new book African Goddess Initiation -- keep 'em coming, please! But my absolute favorite pic is this magical one above. Goddess Rachel in Brazil sent me this photo of her beautiful and intuitive niece as they watch my Goddess Temple live broadcasts on Hay House together. (We resume LIVE this week Sunday at 11am EST on FB & IG @abiolaTV and Wednesday at 2pm EST on @ hayhouse on IF & FB.) Goddess Rachel and her niece both have such powerful energy. I burst out crying when I saw this image all the way from Brazil. She gave me permission to share it with you. In my head I have named this photo, "teach the babies." Goddess Antranette, who is featured on page 106 of my new Hay House book, African Goddess Initiation: Sacred Rituals for Self-Love, Prosperity and Joy taps into the energy of liberation by doing womb divination. When she saw this image of this magical child on my Instagram, she commented, "Whew. Wasn't that what this is all about!" And it is true. TEACH THE BABIES. And don't ever let anyone tell you that your voice doesn't matter. I was told that sharing the way of the goddess was a dead end. If we don't heal it we pass it on. If we don't remember it, the next generation won't have it to even forget. As we heal ourselves, we heal those who came before. As we reclaim ourselves, we heal those who come after. We are local. We are global. We are cosmic. We are brand new and ancient. I look forward to the books, podcasts, classes and things we can't even imagine that baby girl will create in the future. She is Yemanja.

Let me take you behind the scenes of what we're doing to sell out Funnel Hacking Live once again. Hit me up on IG! @russellbrunson Text Me! 208-231-3797 Join my newsletter at marketingsecrets.com ClubHouseWithRussell.com ---Transcript--- What's up everybody. This is Russell Brunson. Welcome back the Marketing Secrets Podcast. Today, I want to tell you guys a secret about how to fill live events. All right everybody, as you guys know, we are coming down to the final stretch of Funnel Hacking Live. I think we're less than 60 days. Dang, two months. Less than two months away. Whew. It makes me nervous just saying that, from Funnel Hacking Live happening, which is exciting. It's been almost 18 months since the last Funnel Hacking Live. I hope you're excited. I think most of you guys are going to be there, which is exciting. If you aren't going to be there, literally, do you hate money? Do you hate growth? Do you hate relationships with amazing people? Do you hate hearing me talk? Those are the only logical explanations that I can think of. I say that with making sure that you need to be there. If you don't have your tickets yet, go to funnelhackinglive.com. The show is on. Right now we're in the final stretch. Tickets are almost sold out, and we sell out every year, but this year we're selling out earlier, because the venue's smaller. We only have 3,500 seats versus last year, we had 5,000 people in the event. We pre-sold more tickets the last Funnel Hacking Live than ever before either. Anyway, we're almost sold out. If you don't have a ticket yet, now is the time to go. The other interesting thing is, this is the first and hopefully the only year we're doing a virtual as well, just because a lot of countries, people actually can't get to here, which is frustrating. Other than that, I've always been anti virtual, but we had to, this time around. If you aren't able to come, you're locked out of the country, or whatever, or you're nervous about people, which is understandable as well, there's a virtual option this year, but that one is also almost sold out. If you're getting tickets, now's the time, but anyway, I digress, as we're getting towards the final stretch. We're like, "Okay. Well, I just want to get done selling tickets," because selling tickets is a grind. If anyone who has ever done a live event or a virtual event, it's a lot of work to continually sell tickets. Right? That's the place that we're in now. I was like, "I just want to get it done with. How do we just sell the last batch?" Like, "Let's get it over with." It's funny, because every year we try to reinvent the wheel. Like, "How did we sell these last year? What campaigns work the best?" We went back through, and we looked at ticket sales. We saw there was a week or two, where we sold hundreds of tickets a day, right? We're like, "What did we do during that week?" We went back and found the emails. It was funny, because of course, here's me reinventing the wheel. Hopefully in a year from now, someone can remind me, "Russell, don't forget, this is what we did last year," but I'm sharing this with you guys, because the thing that we'd done in the past that sold more tickets than anything else, outside of at the last year live event, we sell tickets to next year's, that sells the best. Number two, when we do the kickoff Webinar this year, that sold a ton of them this year for us, which we'd never done that in the past, so kickoff Webinar. Then the third biggest thing to sell tickets has always been taking things away, right? Taking away a bonus or increasing the price, things like that, and usually throughout the promotional campaign, we always are doing little things like that. Right? We're increasing the price. We're taking away a bonus. We're doing this. Last year, we had this great idea, which I forgot about until just recently. We had each speaker jump on a Facebook Live with me, just for a quick 10, 15 minutes. I jump on, I talk about who they are, what they're talking about. We do that tease, like "This is what we're going to talk about." It's really exciting to get people pumped about being there, talk about that speaker's experience at FHL. It's just a really fun thing. Then at the end of it, I said, "Hey, for those who were coming to FHL, do you want to give them a bonus to make sure they show up?" Each speaker then gives a bonus. It's crazy. Some speakers are like, "Here's my three-day live event. Here's my $2,000 course. Here's my..." People are giving crazy stuff. Right? Each speaker gives away a bonus. Today, depending when you're listening to this, I've probably done five or six at this point, but I did the first one today. It was with Peng Joon. Peng Joon giveaway is literally a $3,000 event, a three-day live event, the virtual recordings of it, in a member's area and everything, which is crazy for everyone who got their ticket from Funnel Hacking Live. What we do is, we start doing the speaker offer stack. Today Peng Joon gave his bonus. We send emails with a list. Say, "Hey. Go watch Peng Joon's Facebook Live. By the way, he gave everyone this bonus, if you guys get your tickets this weekend." Right? Then next week I think I have three or four Facebook Lives. Each one with two speakers, jumping on, and we're doing this thing. Then each of those speakers, I'm asking them the same thing. Like, "Hey, what bonus do you have?" Then, they'll give us a bonus, and they'll give us a bonus. These bonuses will keep stacking, keep stacking, keep stacking. Then each email goes out like, "Hey, don't forget. Here's Russell's bonus. Here's Peng Joon's. Here's so, and so's. Here's so, and so's, and here's three new bonuses added today." It keeps getting bigger and bigger, and offer stack gets bigger and bigger. What happens during this week or two weeks of these interviews, the sales come in slow, and they get bigger and they get bigger, because the offer keeps getting more and more insane, til eventually, it's like, "I would literally be insane to not get my tickets." Like, "Do I, even if I don't show up to the event?" Like, "I still need to get the thing, because this bonus has gotten so good." It gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger. We do that as we go through all the speakers, and at the very end, now that the offer stack is insane, if you show up to Funnel Hacking Live, you're getting all the speakers, these amazing products. You get to know the speakers ahead of time, plus you get to come to the event, plus all the other bonuses, and all the other things. Then after we built that up, then we take all those bonuses away. We do a three-day cart close, where it's like, "Hey, you can still get tickets, but you'll miss out on this." Like, "Here's the offer stack of all the things," and we pull that away. That pull away, those three days is when we were selling 200 or 300 tickets a day, every single day. It's crazy. We don't have that many tickets to sell this year. I don't know how far we'll get into it, but again, I found the campaign. I was like, "Oh my gosh, of course." We've restructured it, and we're doing it again right now, but for any of you guys who were trying to sell tickets, this is a powerful way to do it. Then what else is cool is that today, Peng Joon, he Instagrammed his audience. Like, "Hey. Check out this Facebook Live I was on." Now he's selling tickets for us as well. Right? Then, yeah. It's just really interesting, because all of this. You're getting the speakers to promote it. You're promoting it. You're increasing the offer, and you're able to pull the offer away. It's just a powerful, unique strategy we're using to sell a ton of tickets. Anyway, I hope that helps. I've tried a lot of things to sell tickets, and like I said, looking at this, is the thing that's worked the best. Make sure you're watching us, if you're not, go make sure you follow me on Facebook. That's where these are all streaming too. Actually, I think it streams to Facebook, LinkedIn, a whole bunch of other places as well, but go and watch that. You'll see the campaign. You'll see what we're doing. You watch, as the offer gets more and more insane. Then when we pull the offer away, that's when the huge ticket sales come through. Anyway, I love this game. I hope you guys can see that. I hope you can feel it. It's so much fun, and I love sharing with you guys behind the scenes, what we're doing. Hopefully you guys can model it for your events. It worked for virtual events, worked for live events, worked for all sorts of things. That said, thanks, you guys for listening. Appreciate you all, and we will talk to you all again soon. Definitely the next podcast episode, but hopefully more importantly, at Funnel Hacking Live. If you don't have your tickets yet, now is the time. You don't want to miss it. The only logical reason to not go is, if you hate money or you hate me. If you hate me, you probably shouldn't be listening to this podcast anyway. If you hate money, you probably aren't listening to this podcast. That means you. Yes, if you're listening right now, you need to go. Pull over the side of the car, pause this thing, open up a new browser window, go to funnelhackinglive.com, and get your tickets. If you're not sure if you want tickets, go watch the video at the top of funnelhackinglive.com, then go get your tickets. It's that good. All right, guys. Appreciate you all. Thanks for listening, and I hope you guys have an amazing day. Talk soon.

Shannon is back by herself to talk about everything thats happened in the last four months... cause WHEW it's been a time. The shit storm you all watched unfold gets explained as well as your questions answered. She gives you an update on Probably a Podcast abruptly ending, her 4 year relationship ending 2 weeks later, and you guessed it: she drinks tequila while doing it. Welcome to Episode 1 of Probably a Podcast... lets try this again shall we?

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. (Romans 7:18-21) 102 Paul said then, “With my mind…(‘And I have the mind of Christ,' you see, he said.) I serve God with my mind, but my flesh (how did he word that there at the last?)—but with the flesh, the law of sin.” What is it? My flesh says tonight, “You are too tired. Your throat is too sore. You are—you've been out in the wind today. You shall not go to church tonight.” That's the law of the flesh. “You just might as well call them up and tell Brother Neville that…Send the questions down and tell him to answer them.” But you see, I promised to do it. See? 103 Now, my mind, on the inside the Holy Spirit said, “You keep your promise.” But the flesh said, “You're too tired.” See? 104 Now, the flesh say, “Now, there's no need, you pretty little thing, you're the prettiest little thing in school. Now, don't you pay any attention to that holy roller mother of yours or that fanatic father. See? You're the best looking girl in school.” “You're the prettiest boy, the best looking boy, the best built. You are the most popular there is in the city.” You see? That—that…And you yield your members to that, and where do you come out at? The little end of the horn every time. See? 105 Paul said, “My flesh wants to—wants always to yield to that.” Your flesh does too. See? But the law of the Spirit of God in the heart overcomes the flesh and makes the body obey what the heart says do. Hallelujah! 106 Look, then if it will do that for a sinner, then won't that work for sickness too? The law of the Spirit of God in the heart that knows that “By His stripes we were healed,” they stand with their power and make that sickness in that body obey them, because it's a devil. There you are. Whew! That's got cream on it that deep. I tell you. That's it. See? 107 Now, the law of sin and death works in your flesh, but the law of the Spirit of Life works in your heart. So your heart, your spirit in your heart will make your body obey what it says do. That's exactly right. Now, that's what Paul said. Always the flesh, “I'm too tired; I'm unable; I'm not sufficient; I cannot do it.” I said to—to Loyce or—or Delores, or somebody that's been talking to me about the Holy Ghost, about something or other like that, I said—said, “What…” Delores said, “What—what made me feel that way just at the time that I should have felt good?” 108 I said, “The devil. He seen you just ready to receive it. He said, ‘I'll put a little damper on her: Phew! Fan her a little bit, you know, kinda cool down a little.' See? But oh, my, that's when you rise! Claim your God given rights.” That's what Paul was meaning. See? The… “Always when,” he said, “when I would do good, evil is present.” 59-1223 - "Questions And Answers" Rev.

Whew, this story has a TON of layers that we were not prepared for. For starters, our listener and her dad haven't always had the best relationship. But the two attempted to rebuild their relationship after her dad's near-death experience.Here's the problem: Last year, she found out through 23andMe that she's NOT her dad's biological daughter.He has no idea, and she's toying with the idea of telling him. But after everything they've been through, she's not sure if she should tell him.What does she do?! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This episode is one for the books and the personal stories are worthy of your time...trust me!!! We even address manifesting a perfect apology from an ex WHEW chile!!!!! Grab your popcorn, your edges, and your rolodex because this may make you call that throwback. 

WHEW! The USWNT made us get up before God and morality for THAT?! Courtney & André had to hop on the mics to react to the USWNT's 44-match unbeaten streak ending in emphatic fashion as they were mollywhopped by Sweden, 3-0. We talk about what went oh so wrong, what Sweden did to cause it, how the USWNT never adjusted, those pre-Olympics matches not being the smokescreen we thought they were, and adjustments we would've liked to see (and what we hope to see moving forward)! There was a lot to cover! tl;dr - We hope lessons were learnT! Please listen, share, rate and review! Follow us: Twitter - @DiasporaUtdPod Instagram - diasporautdpod
