The industry of Cybersecurity is growing every year at a very steady pace with no real end in sight. Think about it: When will the day come when you WOULDN’T want your company's computer systems secure? And when will the day come that the crooks will stop trying to get in? Cybersecurity is a permanent need, and an inevitable trend. Not just for you and me, but for trillions of dollars worth of companies and governments worldwide. The move to “digital everything” has led to the sharing of a vast amount of sensitive, proprietary data in an external and internal environment across the globe. This has caused organization to fall prey to cybercrime through different forms of attacks, many of them highly publicized. In the wake of breaches and high-profile data theft, it becomes vital for an organization to not only determine future threats, but to do something about it. That's where Cybersecurity comes in--as a burgeoning industry, and as an investment. Today, we'll reveal the best way to invest in Cyber Security, Steve has a special stock pick, and then Medicare expert Shelley Grandidge joins us. A fact filled and timely show you don't to miss...MASTERING MONEY is on the air!!!

(I mean … who the heck WOULDN’T?)  Today I’m sharing 10 simple ways that you can add more MAGIC into your life so that life can be more fun, enjoyable and … well … more magical! Because as we grow into adults it can be all too easy to get caught up in our responsibilities and worries as we continually focus on putting out proverbial fires to the point where it can feel as though we’re simply spending our lives just trying to survive one moment to the next! And somehow ...  at some point … all of that wonder and magic we felt as kids just seems to have vanished with our childhood. :::insert sad violin music here::: But I’m a firm believer that life is meant to be ENJOYED, and the more we can enjoy life, the more we can positively impact ourselves, others and the WORLD. And those wonderful, magical moments do NOT have to be rare occurrences or things that we only experienced when we were 5.  So. Ready to infuse more magic into your everyday life?

Today’s 'stitial sheds light on the many delays Thread Corner has suffered this year. Due, in part, to Thread’s legal trouble (DA says Thread's testimony ensures the State's win) but more pointedly, the real blame for TC's ep-gap lies with a company Thread entrusted and instructed, via their ‘AU Failsafe Program,’ to upload pre-recorded eps (you know them as Phantom Threads) to the TC feed automatically on weeks when Thread&Co. are out. By the end of this captivating exposé, led by Thread's powerful storytelling style, you'll learn of the immense fallout from Auto-Upload’s labyrinthine-like 2019 privacy breach. The scope and depth of this digital chasm, only now, are we finally assimilating the deleterious effects this global violation is having on the legions of podcasters and listeners alike; not to mention the Chernobylian-sized ripple effect that, in this writer's humble opinion, will ramify podcast institutions the world over for years to come. “The complexity of this story; all the moving parts that had to occur for this level of aftermath...it's way beyond a simple cyberattack,” recounts Thread as he interjects over breathtaking audio of the emotional sit-down he attended this week led by 3 of the AU-8 at an undisclosed locale lovingly dubbed, ‘The Simon Says, “Auto-Immune-Dislocation-Site,”’ in honor of one of Auto-Upload’s co-founders, the late Simon Mulsusan, who was violently abducted/tortured/dismembered in Zurich, Switzerland, while on holiday last Jan. This is one riveting ep (of the longest TC's ever produced) you won’t wanna miss! You’ll hear as Thread demands answers! Answers to the most asked questions by you! We compiled your emails/scoured message bds/listened to your Hotmails - all that pertain to AU’s questionable practices/lack of oversight/adequate restitution - Examples below... “Wht made AU thnk tacking ridiculous timestamps 2 future Auto-Up released episodes would mitigate damage cause by ur negligence? A U be damned 2 Hell" #Hell #UploadDownlow #DeconstructingSimon "-Upload, a once pioneer n automated podcasting, now hobbled w/ egregious negligence,imposing verbal-time/date embeds-to their customers’ pcast episodes, a feeble attempt at recompense for not keeping promises made, no!? Do the right thing, -Upload!" “Did Auto-Upload have NEthing to do w/ this corona crap? Wouldnt surprise." Reading these comments feels like ClassicCorner dayz This is the 14th installment of our ‘Just Around The Corner Series,’ an interstitial where we deep-dive into current events, how stuff works, collecting clues AND MUCH MUCH MORE!!!! Today’s ROCK THE QUOTE was selected by…Me! Your boi, Granger over @SpotOtea>

We often have the same negative thoughts going around and around in our brains, but we can change them when we arise and bind the brain with truth. I always marvel at those men and women who lift heavyweights. It takes time, effort, and wisdom. Many of them you will see wrap a binding around their wrists or their waist. Boxers wrap their hands. Perhaps you have seen other athletes wrap some support around their legs. All to give some extra support to some weaker and perhaps fragile are of the body. Perhaps it has been previously injured and needs some extra support. The verb bind means to tie, secure,or fasten as with string or rope.  I don’t want to wake up in the morning. One of my most-read posts is the post ‘She prayed to God that she wouldn’t wake up in the morning.’ In fact, since writing it in July 2018, it has been read over 1600 times, and over 83% of those reads have come through a google search. There are many that pray not to wake up in the morning. Life at times can feel too heavy, too hard, and you want it all to end. The thought of having to lift that heavyweight of life, yet again the next morning, creates feelings of despair and hopelessness. In that place of emotional pain, it all feels too much. Your feelings feed your thoughts, and you find yourself in a downward spiral—a vicious spiral sinking you into the mud of hopelessness. I wonder about the words, phrases, mottos, and sentences of thoughts that are repeatedly said over and over again. Binding them to the brain. Words have power. Sentences have meaning. Paragraphs shape our beliefs. Life happens one thought at a time by default or design. Bind them on your heart In the Jewish faith, the men wear a phylactery called a Tefillin,, a small leather box containing Hebrew texts at morning prayer as a reminder to keep the law. They, in a very literal sense, are binding scripture to themselves. Then there are these verses that talk about the binding of scripture. You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. Deuteronomy 11:18 Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;bind them around your neck;write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 3:3 My son, keep your father’s commandment,and forsake not your mother’s teaching.Bind them on your heart always;tie them around your neck.When you walk, they will lead you;when you lie down, they will watch over you;and when you awake, they will talk with you. Proverbs 6:20-22 This seems to be an active process. Not passive. I arise, and I bind Somewhere in the years between 390 and 461 A.D., a man by the name of Patrick writes a prayer. It’s a prayer about focusing your thoughts. In the oldest translations from ancient Irish, we have the lines ‘I bind myself’ and then with later translations, we have ‘I arise today.’ “I arise today” is generally considered a better translation of the first line than “I bind unto myself today.” according to the hymnology archive.  I think both versions have merit. I pray St. Patricks prayer every morning as part of my thinking compass. I bind unto myself to-dayThe strong name of the Trinity,By invocation of the same.The Three in One and One in Three. I bind this day to me for ever,⁠By power of faith, Christ’s Incarnation;His baptism in Jordan river;⁠His death on cross for my salvation;His bursting from the spiced tomb;⁠His riding up the heavenly way;His coming at the day of doom;⁠I bind unto myself to-day. I bind unto myself the power⁠Of the great love of Cherubim;The sweet ‘Well done’ in judgment hour;⁠The service of the Seraphim,Confessors’ faith. Apostles’ word,⁠The Patriarchs’ prayers, the Prophets’ scrolls,All good deeds done unto the Lord,⁠And purity of virgin souls. I bind unto myself to-day⁠The virtues of the star-lit heaven.The glorious sun’s life-giving ray,⁠The whiteness of the moon at even,The flashing of the lightning free,⁠The whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks,The stable earth, the deep salt sea⁠Around the old eternal rocks. I bind unto myself to-day⁠The power of God to hold and lead,His eye to watch. His might to stay,⁠His ear to hearken to my need.The wisdom of my God to teach,⁠His hand to guide. His shield to ward;The Word of God to give me speech,⁠His heavenly host to be my guard. Against the demon snares of sin,⁠The vice that gives temptation force,The natural lusts that war within,⁠The hostile men that mar my course;Or few or many, far or nigh.⁠In every place, and in all hours,Against their fierce hostility,⁠I bind to me these holy powers. Against all Satan’s spells and wiles,⁠Against false words of heresy,Against the knowledge that defiles,⁠Against the heart’s idolatry,Against the wizard’s evil craft,⁠Against the death-wound and the burning,The choking wave, the poisoned shaft,⁠Protect me, Christ, till Thy returning. Christ be with me, Christ within me,⁠Christ behind me, Christ before me,Christ beside me, Christ to win me,⁠Christ to comfort and restore me,Christ beneath me, Christ above me,⁠Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,Christ in hearts of all that love me,⁠Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. I bind unto myself the Name,⁠The strong Name of the Trinity;By invocation of the same,⁠The Three in One, and One in Three.Of Whom all nature hath creation;⁠Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:Praise to the Lord of my salvation⁠Salvation is of Christ the Lord.The Writings of Saint Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland/Version of Mrs. Alexander What do you bind around your brain?  What are the bindings that you arise with? What are the support structures that you lace around your brain, giving it protection and shape? Are there some bindings that are not so helpful? Repetitive self-talk that negates you. Wouldnt it be better to build and bind truth and hope around your neural structures? It’s not going to happen without some intent and purpose—a changing of habits. Building a thinking compass I use a thinking compass. A little tool that you can check back on at regular times to make sure you’re heading in the right direction. At its most basic, a thinking compass is a little notebook of written insights, prayers, and quotes that speak truth to you. You read these every day so that you keep going on the right track. I keep my compass in my phone. I have a list that I read every morning and often at night before going to sleep. I am training my brain. Here are some of the little sentences that I bind around my brain. What I focus on gets me. Focus on the negatives/ challenges will always take me down. Focus on the positive/good things will always give me hope. Since every destination starts as a thought, I focus on where I want to go. I design my life and build my future thought by thought. The subconscious can be reprogrammed through cognitive reassessments. No matter how strong, a feeling of hopelessness is an echo and perception from the past and is not how things really are. The brain takes its shape from what the mind rests upon. I choose to rest it upon truth. When I allow achievements to determine my mood, I will always be like a puppet on a string. When my brain is full of what I’m not achieving, I will miss what I am achieving. Life happens one thought at a time by default or design. These are little truth nuggets that I need to remind myself of. There is a resistance to learning these new thoughts. The brain likes to keep us safe and in familiar territory, so it will take time for a new truth to replace the old. Quotes to consider You are the creator of your thoughts, and it’s your thoughts that can create the future that you want. It really is in your control. Dr. Shannon Irvine If it’s been learned, it can always be unlearned. e.g., ways of coping, personal habits, survival kits, and nasty addictions. D.

Would you be interested in a better night's sleep? Wouldnt we all?According to the journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, a strong faith could be the key to good night sleep. Researchers found that those who believe in salvation and have a true relationship with God tend to sleep longer, fall asleep faster, and wake up feeling more rested. In fact, after the research, those on the research team said they really couldn't ignore the results.As believers, how awesome it is that as we get ready for bed we can leave our anxieties and worries with God as it says in Philippans 4 and we can focus on sleep. Rest well, friends.

Doug here. Just a dad talking to other dads. Just imagine you head to a park where there's a baseball field and you notice a bucket of baseballs just sitting there. And then you see a note, you pick up the note and it says,"FREE. Hope someone can use some of these baseballs. I found them cleaning out my garage. I pitched them to my son and grandson for countless rounds of batting practice. My son is now 46 and my grandson is 23. I'm 72 now and what I wouldn't give to throw one more bucket of balls to them, they've both moved away. If you're a father, cherish these times. You won't believe how quickly they'll be gone.P.S. Give them a hug and tell them you them every chance you get."

TITLE Poll results—If You Could NOT Be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), Would You? Questions to Ask Yourself   GUEST Solo Episode   EPISODE OVERVIEW   If you could NOT be an HSP, would you? I share the results of a poll that 93 HSPs responded to including the pros and cons given.  Two major things happened on Christmas Eve before 9 a.m. at my home.  Ways to evaluate how your holidays went, and how to create what you might want for the following year.  Questions to ask yourself to help you set goals for the New Year, and my wishes for you for the next year.   HIGHLIGHTS   If you could NOT be an HSP, would you 93 responses Yes—20% (less than ½ were men)—related to autoimmune disorders, pain Maybe—5% No—75%   Those that WOULD change and no longer be an HSP Happier, more confident in my own skin.  I’m lonely and unsuccessful Misunderstood Barely surviving life Can’t go on like this Sick of this Not fitting in Exhausting   Those that WOULDN’T change, and remain being an HSP Work on themselves and as they learned about themselves they accepted who they are Natural leader More in tune with others’ needs Have a greater appreciation for beauty, nature, poetry, music, art Even though have lower lows, they have greater depth of happiness The more I learn about myself, the happier I am Being an HSP isn’t the issue; it’s an issue with our society I’m more confident in who I am. I don’t let societal norms affect me I don’t want to numb my compassion I like the quirkiness that makes me I might want my sensory sensitivity removed, but keep the emotional depth It helps me be creative, artistic and introspective HSPs are shamans and healers (therapists, massage therapist, teachers) Would be boring—I wouldn’t have insight and I wouldn’t care I’m strong and resilient   31 Questions to ask yourself before setting next year’s goals What are the first thoughts that come to mind about the past year? Mostly positive, negative, or neutral? What was one of the most interesting things I learned this year? Who was one person I met that I'd like to get to know better? Why?

One of the coolest things about having a podcast is having the chance to connect and have conversations with other entrepreneurs that are where I want to be – which is why I’m so excited to bring you this interview with business growth strategist, Kelly Roach. Kelly’s team reached out to me to introduce us and see if she’d be a good fit for the show, and so like I do with every guest, I spent some time researching Kelly and making sure our values align and all that good stuff – because you guys, I’m not gonna just let anyone into your earbuds okay? So I start researching Kelly and I’m going to be totally honest with you right now… I got a little bit intimidated!!! I mean, this girl built her business from scratch as a side hustle to the point where her husband was able to retire, she was able to quit her day job, pay off her dream home in 3 years and become millionaires living debt free – all while working no more than 40 hours a week. Kelly’s current life is my #dreamlife So I flipped the script on my imposter syndrome, kicked the feeling of “Why would Kelly Roach want to be on my podcast?” to the curb and told myself, “um, Shannon, it’s because you get thousands of downloads a month and who WOULDN’T want the chance to talk to you guys because you’re ah-mazing” And decided to use the opportunity to get some insight into exactly how she did it. Oh, and you’re not going to be disappointed. Kelly breaks down exactly how she did it. And the good news for all of us is that it’s totally possible for us to do it too. In Part 1, we talk about: The three places Kelly thinks you should be spending your time EXCLUSIVELY when you are first starting out. Kelly’s #1 Rule for New Entrepreneurs Why your website doesn’t work if you don’t!! How to fully maximize your team to their full income-generating potential. The two things you HAVE to invest in if you want to seriously grow your side hustle. I highly recommend Kelly’s book, Bigger Than You so that you can claim ultimate freedom, wealth, fulfillment in your business. “When you can see the greatness in another person and they see that you see that in them, it creates a great partnership.” – Kelly Roach Don’t miss Part 2 in Ep. 196 where we talk about: How Kelly transitioned from side hustle to full time. How to SLOW DOWN so that you can move forward. Why YOU should be the one focusing on connecting engaging and converting Why podcasts are for serious business owners who are in it for the long haul. The 5 core functions of business (and where entrepreneurs fall short) and how to get people and systems around those 5 functions. How to have a Sales Team as a solopreneur selling information products. What a Social Selling team member can do for you. The belief Kelly had to change about herself to get where she is today.

Opening song downloaded in 2006 as podsafe music: DISCLAIMER This bonus episode of CraftLit likely belongs at the end of , but since the inciting incidents didn’t occur for several years, I’m putting it here, but with a warning - language and subject matter are NOT what you will find in the other 475± episodes of CraftLit. This is NOT an episode to have a first-listen with your kids in the car. To that end, I am well aware that there will be parts of this episode that will anger you. If you’ve listened to CraftLit for awhile you’ll know that I often hold information or comments for the end—it’s the theater side of me, wanting to book-end these essays so that they are dramatically and structurally consistent. But I’d be an idiot if I didn’t know you would have responses while you listen. I encourage you to use the recording app on your phone and switch back and forth between listening and responding so you have your thoughts in order. Then, when you’re done, you have the choice to send me the complete file at Heather@CraftLit.com OR you can call our listener line at 1-206-350-1642 and speak your mind. And, finally, You might be expecting me to deal with this topic through the lens of classic literature. With one exception, that will not happen in this episode. This is personal. This is nothing more than my thoughts—a culmination of 31 years of my experiences and thoughts—on this topic. We have faced many characters in complicated relationships where we in the modern world have very different responses regarding issues of consent. are not unknown to us. However, you may wish to hunt down the post by David Wong at (of all places) Cracked.com called . It’s both funny and upset-stomach-inducing—and written by a guy for whom I’d like to buy a drink if he’s ever in Eastern PA. 3:10 Before I begin, there is a transcription of this over at CraftLit.com/476. Included there are links out to everything I mention that is link-to-able. 3:51 Hello, The number of times I’ve been compelled to do something like this could be counted on a hand inside a very nicely knitted mitten, but , and comment threads I’ve been reading have pushed me to try—at least for we sane people—to end it. To begin at the beginning, my husband pointed out a month-or-so ago that every woman he knew had put a #MeToo hashtag on their feed. Sadly, none surprised him. However, he asked why I hadn’t. I was the only one he knew of who could have but didn’t. And I didn’t. 4:30 I mentioned–very briefly–my past a few years back on CraftLit and I left it there. For a long time it had defined part of me, but then I got married, then I had a son, then I was teaching HS the day we were evacuated from the tip of an island off the coast of North America when a plane tried to drop a building on us, then I had another son, then I became a podcaster, an author, a speaker—I outgrew simple definitions. There is nothing simple about the conversation that is swirling around us right now—and I say that as both a #MeToo and as a mother of young men. The mother of some rather justifiably nervous young men. 5:15 When I was teaching HS in NYC I learned something very important that I need to share with you: I knew nothing about being white. I mean, yes, if you’ve heard “Stupid Shit White People Say” you’ve probably laughed–just like me. Ha Ha. I get it. What I mean is I knew nothing about what being white looks like to anyone who isn’t. You might remember the spectacularly biting SNL clip of complete with what happens in the white world when anyone of color leaves the room. It’s hilarious. And it’s not. One of the most revealing conversations I ever had was with a class of recidivist freshmen. These 20 kids were massively in the minority at our very-college-focused NYC Public School. This was not their first time in Freshman English. It might have been their third or fourth, to be honest. Trying to figure out how to get them to want to strengthen their skills was more difficult than any teaching job I’ve had before or since and I probably failed to help at least half of them. But they sure taught me. I was particularly lucky because my students had learned that they could trust me—at least it seemed to believe they could. I sure hoped they could. This was well into my time in NYC and it was also at the height of the people-getting-jumped-for-their-Air-Jordan’s scare and we’d been working our way through annotating a NYTimes article on the topic in preparation for them to practice writing formal letters, like they might have to write to a landlord someday, only we were using a letter to the editor of the paper as a practice run. As we annotated copies and separated fact from opinion (and noted where we’d need more facts to support our claims) one boy made a comment about how there was nothing wrong with jumping someone for their shoes—as long as that someone was white. As the only white person in the room at the time, I asked for clarification. Near as I can recall the conversation went something like this: Me: Wait, what? Student: Well, you know, Miss. I mean, it’s mad wrong for me to jump someone like… Tyrik here (laughter) because I know it’s not like he can just, you know, go out and buy new Jordans. (“awwwwww”s) Me: Okaaaayyy… Student: But…you know, Miss. If you need a new pair, you’ll get a new pair. Me: Wait. Are you telling me that I should be able to buy a new pair of Jordan’s because I’m white? (Laughter) Student: (clearly baffled by my response and the laughter) Um…yeah… Me: George, how much money do you think I make??? Student: (still baffled) I don’t know…like…white people money? Me: (laughing) That’s an income classification? Student: (backpedaling) You know, Miss? Right? Like, you make enough. You can, you know, buy…stuff you want. Me: George, I’m a teacher. We don’t get rich being teachers. We get promised decent health care, and retirement, in exchange for not getting rich—almost enough to pay rent and eat. I’m not rich. Seriously. These shoes I got at Payless. I went on to break down how much I brought home every two weeks and what my monthly expenses were. My disposable money at the end of the month was about $30. The rustling in the room got louder as we worked our way towards that fact—a fact that the students brought up again and again in class when people made assumptions or worked off of stereotypes. 9:20 As different as my life was from George’s view of All White Folks—his understanding of the differences of how white folks live from the people he grew up with in his neighborhood wasn’t that far off. Things I saw our students do that I—at first—thought were SO self-defeating, so working against their best interests — were, often as not, learned survival skills. We had a whole cross section of girls who got to school late every day. Same amount of late Every Day. Why? Their moms and dads both worked, often more than one job and frequently in overlapping shifts which meant one adult was still on the way home from a late shift on public transit early in the morning when the other was leaving for an early shift. But there’s a baby. Baby has to go to daycare. Affordable daycare starts at the same time as school. Solution? The oldest daughter is responsible and she’ll be able to make up the work she misses at her school. Have her take the baby to daycare then go to school. Someone else will pick the baby up so the oldest daughter can stay late and get help, library access, or just a quiet place to study. Win-win. But it took several years for me to learn that. All the kids knew how it worked. One girl was shocked I’d needed to ask her, because duh, of course that’s what was going on. Opening the door and coming into class late wasn’t anything she needed to apologize or make excuses for, because it was just so obvious. Except it wasn’t. To me. Just like I thought wasn’t obvious. 11:18 Just like what published in the NYT about the charges of sexual misconduct about him. H is thoughts weren’t obvious either. It’s not about race. It’s not about beauty. It’s not about sex. It’s not necessarily about gender. It is all about power. 11:49 And even people with power never feel like they are the one in power. There’s always someone richer, better, stronger, meaner, more ruthless, more threatening, better looking than they are. So if you try to have the conversation with them as though they’ve got more power than you they’ll just “what about THAT person” and blow off everything you say. John Oliver did a lovely piece on - which is also known as the . Back to Louis CK. 12:40 I don’t know if, in the maelstrom of sexual predator reveals you read or heard his whole statement, but you should know what he said. All of it. Because I think it should be the gold standard by which we judge responses to this issue. Allow me to give you a smidgen of context for why I believe that. 13:00 In a nutshell, Louis CK struggled on his way up as a standup comedian. A lot. He and Mark Maron have spoken about their enemyship and their friendship and how the difficulties they encountered paralleled each other but how they ultimately found success—albeit in relatively different areas. I guarantee you, if a female comedian heard me say that she would have snorted. Quadruple that snort if she’s a female comedian of color. Because…seriously. It’s just so obvious. Sidestepping that rabbit hole for a moment and going back to Louis CK—it’s important to know that Louis CK - like George Clooney and Samuel L Jackson have famously said – Louis CK didn’t have success handed to him on a silver platter when they were young. He ate his share of cup-o-noodles and did a fair bit of couch surfing is what I’m saying. So If an up-and-coming female comedian had said to him, “Geez, it’s been rough going…” he’d be likely to say—justifiably—“Oh My God, I KNOW. There was this one time when I…” not necessarily as a way of him purposefully dismiss her struggles, but very likely thinking that he’s speaking to an equal or—at least—to someone on her way to being a professional equal. How that convo might have been perceived by the woman he was speaking to would very likely have sounded very different. He learned—the hard way—about power disparities. 15:05 We can learn from him that power disparities are invisible to those in power UNLESS they are given a reason to stop, back up, think, ask questions, sit with it awhile, and then find the cojones to say “mea culpa” and own their error. And we—the rest of the public, the couch-sitting judge and jury to these people’s social falls—we have to learn to allow them to do that. We say that we want people to own it. We say we want people to say they’re sorry, but when they do we’re as likely to attack them for that as we are for them denying everything. And that’s too bad because we know everyone makes mistakes. But it’s very rare that we see people who are actually evil—Goebbels and Himmler and Pol Pot and King Leopold evil—stalk other people to try to ruin their lives. Even the guy who assaulted me wasn’t evil like that. He was a privileged jerk who thought he deserved everything—and that included females—because, my God woman, why WOULDN’T you want him, Right? He had money, he was smart (smart enough to get away with it more than once…until he broke his girlfriend’s collarbone) he (thought he was) good looking…I mean, duh. Anyone who accused him of something that unsavory must just be bitter…or a bitch…or frigid…or a feminist. Because, I mean, who are they going to believe? Right? 16:40 At this point, you need to go listen to Ehren Zigler’s ShakespeareSunday.libsyn.com episode from Nov 12, 2017 entitled: Who Will Believe You? When you’re done, come back and pick up here. 17:10 Welcome back! So what have we learned? Sadly, that not much has changed since 1604, or, more accurately, nothing much has changed since… forever. But that isn’t helpful. Because I’ve raised two wonderful boys, one of whom isn’t unnerved about going to college on his own or of a possible terrorist attack nearly as much as he is of putting a girl in a position where he thinks she wants him to kiss her only to find that he’d misread the situation and is now labeled a predator. And the way things are flying around now, I don’t know that he’s wrong to feel this way. 18:02 If we can’t tell the difference between and adult predator of girls and young women—a predator so well-known that a mall barred his entrance—and a man finally “getting it” and owning what he did wrong, if we can’t respect a man taking ownership of what he did wrong and vowing to try to do better (knowing full well that history has it’s eyes on him) then my son is right. He should be scared—or at least very very nervous. But that’s the wrong lesson we’re supposed to be learning. If theater, TV, and film have taught us anything, it’s that bad things happen when people don’t say what they should say. If real life has taught us anything, it’s that people can get punished for saying the right thing to the wrong person and vice versa. If literature has taught us anything, it’s that we can’t learn, grow, and become better happier people if we don’t listen to Atticus Finch: we need to walk a mile in the other person’s shoes. 16:48 I’ve been talking a lot about Louis CK’s statement, and before I read it to you, I do want to make it clear: I know that for years Louis CK denied all of these allegations. I’m also aware that in Hollywood he has a manager and an agent and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if, (a) they were male, and (b), if they advised all of their clients who found themselves in situations like this to deny everything. Why? Because it’s been a very, very, effective tactic. Let me read it to you now because you have to hear it—all of it—for this last bit to make sense. I want to address the stories told to The New York Times by five women named Abby, Rebecca, Dana, Julia who felt able to name themselves and one who did not. These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was O.K. because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position. I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t think that I was doing any of that because my position allowed me not to think about it. There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with. I wish I had reacted to their admiration of me by being a good example to them as a man and given them some guidance as a comedian, including because I admired their work. The hardest regret to live with is what you’ve done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them… I’ve brought pain to my family, my friends, my children and their mother. I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen. Thank you for reading. 19:25 When I was a kid, Atticus’ lessons seemed simple: I could usually figure out what I needed to, I could find the empathy in me that I needed to, just by imagining myself in someone elses’ position. That still works. Sometimes. But teaching in NYC taught me that imagination wasn’t enough. I had to actually get to know people who at a first—very superficial—glance were so different from me, only to find that our middle class upbringings, our relationships with our loving and supportive parents, our thoughts about love and life and career were all so similar as to be indistinguishable from one another. Until you factored in chances for success. One of my bosses in Hollywood told me a story once. He had an African American best friend in college, he’s Jewish. He laughingly told me how they used to have “woe is me” competitions, racking up all the ways people’s prejudices and unfair treatment had frustrated them. I was young and naïve and I asked who won. He stopped laughing and said, “we ended the competition when my friend pointed out that if the two of us were walking down the street, people might guess I was Jewish…but they knew he was Black.” In competitions like that, no one wins. Not even the people in power. 21:00 One more illustration In 2016 there was an article I read that profiled various voters. One was a tentative Trump supporter in the upper midwest. I’ll call him Frank, for lack of a better memory. He wasn’t comfortable with much about Trump personally, but it was better than what he’d personally experienced from the left. He’d served in a war, he’d come back, he’d gotten a job, he’d raised a family, he paid his taxes, he started his own business. It wasn’t easy, but he worked his tuchus off and got his kids into college—like you do—and then one of his daughters came home from college with a boyfriend. At his own Thanksgiving table, this embodiment of the American dream, Frank, was served a plateful of stereotypes from a 20 year old kid—you must be a bigot, classist, uneducated, small-minded, evangelical, gay-bashing, woman-hating, immigrant-fearing, gun-loving, war-mongering idiot. Frank was, as would many of us be, speechless. And enraged. Here he’d done what he was supposed to do. He started a business. He supported his family. He paid his taxes. He loved his daughters and wanted them to be happy, with bright futures—that’s why did did all the things he did. Not because it was fun. Not because he was following his bliss. Because It Is What You Do when you love your family. JUST like my student’s parents worked many jobs and paid plenty in taxes to provide a home and futures for their families. But Frank didn’t have anyone to yell at—he couldn’t yell at his daughter’s boyfriend—no matter how much the twerp deserved it. because a gentleman doesn’t do something like that. He didn’t have a place to go where he could protest this unfair treatment. He didn’t have anyone to protest against. And yes, there’s no question, Frank didn’t see all of the benefits that being white and male afforded him. Again, to those with less power, his power is very obvious. To him, all he saw was how much work he put into making a good life for his family and his kids. So Frank was unhappy. But he didn’t much like colleges. And he really didn’t much like the Left. And it’s kind of hard to blame him. 26:45 But I can’t help but wish that in moments like that, the Franks of the world could find a way to step back and calmly ask, “Wait, but why? Why do you assume that about me?” And then listen. Because if Frank listened to the Why, there’s a good chance that the more he heard and the more specific his questions got, the more he would expose the flaws in the stereotypes—and the more likely the Twerp would learn something he hasn’t learned at home—respecting your elders has nothing to do with deferring to them. It’s all about listening to them. Everyone does the best they can do with what they’ve got. No one sets out to be a failure or hateful—. And we are—as Madeline L’Engle and and a zillion other authors have noted—are always afraid of the unknown. And that’s where our current situation gets dangerous. Because if we can’t hear the difference between Louis CK’s —excuse the term—manning up to explain his actions and own his mistakes —NOT Yeah, I’m remorseful BECAUSE I GOT CAUGHT - — But if we can’t hear a cogent and serious reflection on how these things can happen and why men simply don’t see it, then we also won’t see the danger inherent in someone who blames the victim (or shockingly blames religious bias) and denies any responsibility for their actions. And that’s the way we perpetuate all of this. 28:35 To be crystal clear: I am not talking about the more clear-cut violent crimes. I am however, pointing out that as long as we talk about sexual harassment and rape and serial pedophilia as though they’re all sex crimes, the longer we’ll be missing the point and not solving the problem - and we’ll have perpetuated a false equivalency. The assault I suffered was a very different kind of crime from the assault survived by one of the young women in a support group I eventually attended. She was attacked getting out of her car, with her laundry basket, in sweats, no makeup, hair piled on her head. She was threatened at knife-point. She was terrorized. Her case seems like a simple and clear-cut criminal assault. She still had people—often official-type people and not just men—ask her if she actually saw the knife. Or imply that she was asking for it—because she was blonde, tan, and pretty. I, of course, have never found sweats and no makeup that appealing, but hey, what do I know? I’m not a rapist. 29:52 The betrayal that she and I felt, at being assaulted, at having our body touched by someone to whom we did not give permission, was the same. The betrayal we experienced at having people who should have believed us who should have been on our side, who should have helped, or should have at the very least, have tried to help us make sure that the perpetrator never hurt anyone like that again—the betrayal we experienced at having people who should have believed us walk away or turn their backs—was the same. The crime itself was different. Which is kind of the point. The chances of the guy who assaulted her being surprised by being accused of rape is pretty slim. You go out of your way to stalk someone, beat them, hold a knife to their throat, tear their clothes, and force them to have sex with you—I think you probably know that’s called rape. I’m talking about the squishier territory. The “I didn’t know” vs the “yeah, well you should’ve known” moments. The places I’ve been talking about where purpose and perception are blurred and power, career, livelihood, and reputation are the elephants in the corners of the room, standing there all but invisible to the person with the power. We have to learn to hear the choked and sometimes heartbroken “I didn’t know” for what it is: the sudden exposure of a power disparity that was always there but largely invisible and a cultural disparity that I’ve never seen explained as well as was done this last week by . 31:48 There is an important lesson, I believe, in watching someone accused of something like this, especially a public figure—with or without proof provided—say, “Oh my God, I don’t remember this, but for God’s sake, begin an ethics investigation, because we can’t just sweep these things under the rug.” There have to be standards. There are norms of behavior we need to respect. Because that kind of behavior—owning your mistake, allowing justice to run its course (with the belief that justice will, in fact, be just)—that is what we teach our children. That is what we tell them the world is like. So we have to act like it, too. Because the kids are watching us. There’s also an important warning in watching someone accused of something like this deny it ever happened, deny video footage, deny responsibility, or, most heinously, blame the victim—because as Louis CK and James Comey both demonstrated this year—the person in power does not think they have an unfair advantage. The person with less power, however, knows it. 33:10 It’s true in economics, it’s true in geopolitical conflict, it’s true throughout history, and it’s true when it comes to interpersonal relationships—those on the lower side of the power scale know a lot more about the higher end than the higher end knows about them. That’s why America strides around the planet like a big teenage bully, not caring—not needing to care—about how it’s perceived. Since WWII America’s had the power. I hope, that when the world shifts away from that, we can lose that bravado and learn how to deal with not being on top gracefully. I might be delusional. But I have to be hopeful because of my sons. 33:54 I don’t know that I can see a way through to a happy ending to the current spate of accusations. I’m not an apologist for the men being accused. I do think there’s a scale of egregiousness, and legality. However. I had a boss who once joked about me wearing a French Maid’s uniform at work. I laughed. I thought it was the stupidest thing I’d ever heard. He laughed too, and we had a really spectacular working relationship for nearly three years. Did he ever touch me? Not once. Would he be in serious trouble nowadays for making the French Maid joke. I’m afraid he would be. Even in 1989 he might have been if I’d taken him seriously. But I listened. And I watched him. And I heard that it wasn’t a threat. Or a requirement. It wasn’t even a legitimate or realistic request. It was a joke. No bathrobes were involved. No hotel room meetings—not that there couldn’t have been. This was Hollywood. But I’ve been lucky to work for and with honorable men my whole life. Karmic payback for having crossed paths with a sociopath in college, perhaps. I like to think that I took what happened to me and learned some valuable lessons from it. Like trusting myself to know when it’s time to go without worrying about being told I was spoiling everyone’s fun, trusting my gut to know that what I was walking into was not a safe situation—without worrying that I’d be told I was being hysterical, and by not worrying about being called a bitch if I weeded out backstabbers and betrayers from my life. 35:35 One of the saddest things I’ve heard this year was James Comey’s testimony when he talked about begging the Attorney General to stay in the room—to not leave him alone with the president—because he knew power disparity there was real and he didn’t want to be alone without witnesses in case the President said something that would be either Illegal or putting pressure on him in a way that could lead to things that were illegal. The kind of betrayal James Comey experienced—watching the Attorney General walk out of that room—is exactly the kind of betrayal women have felt when left alone with someone they know is unsafe. It is the closing of the door that is the most terrifying. At that point there is almost nothing you can do to win. Society will label you with one negative no matter which way you come out of that room. You can either be a frigid bitch or you can be a whore. What you can’t be is deaf. 36:45 You can’t be deaf to the same kinds of stories coming from other people in similar situations—both women and men. Atticus would be disappointed. And slut shaming is done by women at least as often as men. Ask my dorm roommates. They got to watch it up close. But we—especially we—women have to be the first one on the scene pointing out that nothing we’ve heard yet—Not One Incident—has been about one person being attracted to someone who Just Wasn’t That Into Him. None of this has been about sexual attraction or chemistry or a date gone bad. It’s been about powerful people knowingly or unknowingly using sex as a threat. The threat is “I get to do what I want to do because I’m the one who controls—or at the very least, can affect—your future.” Some threats like that are completely unknowingly wielded. Because those in power know less about how that power is perceived than the people without the power. There are the unknowing wielders, and then there are the others. But how would a guy know which camp he’s in—really? He’s not a rapist in an alley with a knife. We know those guys are predators. We know they’re the bad guys. These guys are wearing suits! When in a position of power there are few people brave enough to be . Instead, powerful people tend to gravitate to those who agree—or seem to agree—with them until the world they live in shows them in no uncertain terms every hour of every day that everyone wants to do what they want them to do. So if everyone wants what you want them to do, how could kissing or touching this woman who knows you—how could that be any sort of violation? Because obviously, she wanted it. How could she not? 30:31 CraftLit listeners are some of the most amazing people I’ve met in my entire life…. People who care about words meaning what they mean. When we look at the language and rhetoric being used in all of these arguments, debates, and statements, help the people around you to take a step back and look at the language being used. We can tell so much—and in situations like this, that language is the only in-road we have to following Atticus’ advice. Because we probably can’t imagine what it’s like to be Harvey Weinstein. We might not want to even if we could. But is it easy to understand how an overweight, schlubby guy who grew up overweight and schlubby, might see getting anything he wants is payback for years of humiliation and being ignored by women? Looking at the way he defends himself, yeah. I can imagine that that is exactly what’s going through his head. Does it make what he did any less reprehensible? Heck no. The crime is the crime is the crime. A rose by any other name… It just means that solving the problem—helping him come to terms with what the problem is in the first place, is a different conversation. Violence, whether psychological or physical, that involves sex or sexuality, is never about sex or sexuality. It’s about power. And the sooner we can be honest with each other about these kinds of crimes and how we react to them—because our reactions are just as complicated, I would wager, as the reactions of the guys who’ve been outed—the sooner we can heal and move forward. And maybe—if we’re lucky—not see this happen any more. A girl can dream. But mostly, I hope that my friends and colleagues who are raising daughters are raising girls to be able to tell the difference between an honorable young man who does not have their best interests at heart. For the sake of my wonderful, beautiful sons, I hope that, as much as we’ve worked to make them kind, honorable, happy, good people, the same is being done by the fathers and mothers who are raising their daughters. 41:48 Because honorable people, embodied for my entire conscious life by my mother, my father, and Atticus Finch, are people who may be unaware that they’ve done something wrong, but when it’s brought to their attention respond by working to understand what went wrong and correct that wrong in whatever way they can. Dishonorable people are ones who may be unaware they’ve done something wrong, and when it’s brought to their attention—simply don’t care. I think we’ve seen several examples of both types of responses in the past year. And just like me with my students in New York, I didn’t know what I didn’t know about being white—until I had a chance to listen. Until I had someone brave enough to talk to me, honestly, and without anger. I got to be Frank, in a safe place where I was able to ask questions and—because I was safe, and not being attacked—able to hear the answers I was able to hear and understand the “what I should have knowns…because it’s just so obvious.” When it still wasn’t obvious. To me. Back then. Things I couldn’t have seen without help because you just don’t see the same view as everyone else when you’re the one on top. Literature is there to show us how to grow, how to act, and often as not how NOT to act and grow. That is one of the reasons why education, specifically in the humanities, is so vital. These are the reasons I’ve been hosting CraftLit for coming up on 12 years. I promise, on Thursday, December 14th, I’ll be back to sharing inside jokes with you and Dickens and the holiday spirit. But today I thank you for listening. And I hope you know that I’ve given you our call-in number for a reason. I’ve never shied away from reading emails or playing audio from you when you’ve disagreed with me and I won’t do it now. I also know from our long sojourn together that unlike the rest of the internet, CraftLit listeners respond to each other with kindness and compassion—you are my Finch-Family Community. You are the ones who prove to me, over and over again, that the world can be a good and safe and happy place. I know that once again, I’ll point to our online forums as The Only Place on the Internet Where People Still Have Manners When Discussing Difficult Things. Because you always listen. And think. And research. And share. And speak—always with compassion and thought and care. I’ve tried to do the same for you today. I hope I have. I like to believe that classic fiction and the people who love it can help us avoid a world run by or The Commanders in or the assassins in the fourth part of *. I believe—and I will continue to believe—that Humanity can do better than that. I have to believe that. Because like you, I love my children. And I want them, and yours, to have safe and happy lives. (This is the printing I read in school. No idea if it’s better or worse than others. It’s just the one I know) The FUN side of CraftLit returns on December 14, 2017 with the First Day of CraftLit?stories to light the holidays.

You might call it CONSPIRACY THEORY – but only if you ignore the facts.  Today I explain to you the government’s social engineering of the housing marketing, and where both the mortgage crisis of 08 and the newly proclaimed rent crisis fit into that… and where this social engineering ultimately leads.  I’m Bryan Ellis, and this is a very disconcerting Episode #172.----Hello, SDI Nation!  Welcome to the podcast of record for savvy, self-directed investors like you!What is a crisis?  One definition of CRISIS is a time of intense difficulty or distress.  But there’s another definition – definition #3 if you use Google’s ‘define’ keyword – which is: “the turning point of a disease when an important change takes place, indicating either recovery or death”.  When the media – or the government – uses the word crisis, that’s the definition they’re using.But the recovery or death that will happen isn’t actually related to an economic situation.  It’s related to a policy objective.  In other words, when you hear the word “crisis” in the news, what that means is that somebody in government has decided that it’s time to implement a new policy, and that conditions “on the ground” are ripe for that change.One of those non-crisis crises is happening right now, actually.  CNBC recently reported on a study done by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies.It comes from Harvard… it’s got to be accurate, right?Nope, not at all.The basic crux of the matter is this:  The study says that more people than ever are renting rather than owning, and that at least half of those renters are paying more in rent than they should be.  Of course, what they “should” be paying is wholly subjective.  Nevertheless, Harvard is declaring there to be a crisis.  And you know what happens with crises, right?  The government gets involved and takes control.Allow me to share with you where current events fit into a broader history of governmental manipulation of the housing markets.The biggest semi-recent contributor to this mess was the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 signed into law by the 2nd worst president in history, Jimmy Carter.  That act required banks to begin lending to non-credit-worthy borrowers under threat of punishment from the government.  Long-held financial standards were kicked to the curb in favor of mostly race-based qualification criteria.Then in the early 90’s, President Clinton pushed the Community Reinvestment Act even further, requiring lenders to make loans that would be judged as, at very best, questionable by any reasonable mind.Congress did as it usually does… and made things far, far worse.  The real nail in the coffin was when, in the 90’s, Congress authorized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy those loans and, in effect, make the U.S. government the largest holder of mortgage debt.  In fact, Fannie Mae’s share of the secondary market reached a whopping 90%.  The government had, without anyone really noticing, taken control of the mortgage market.So what was happening was fundamentally dangerous:  It was a situation in which credit standards no longer applied and absolutely anybody could get a loan… and all of those loans were ultimately centralized in one organization – Fannie Mae – which is, no matter how you slice it, a government entity.To make it all worse… these loans were being given to people who, quite objectively, could not afford the loans.  They were able to buy because of fancy constructs like interest-only or even negative amortizations yielded payments that were very low… but those low payments never lasted beyond a few years.So you’d think that the government would have a vested interest in making sure that, somehow, some way, that those loans WOULDN’T go bad and that the market would heal itself without there being a real crisis?Wrong again, my friends… because the grander scheme had not yet been achieved.Rahm Emanuel, former Chief of Staff to President Obama, once made a statement that was perfectly embodied in the mortgage crisis.  What he said was:  “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.  And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you could not do before.”Ok, sure.  When a crisis arises, it’s an opening for the government to take action.  That’s obvious.  But here’s the thing… nobody would ever want to assume that the crises themselves are manufactured from the ground up in order to give the government an opening to take action.  But that’s exactly what was happening.You see… the housing crisis was bubbling up in late 2007 and early 2008, and everybody in Washington knew it… because they had, in effect, planned for it to happen by forcing and incentivizing banks to give bad loans to unworthy borrowers.  This was a known issue… love him or hate him, President Bush was well aware of it, having issued literally DOZENS of warnings to Congress, who simply refused to do anything about it… because it played into a bigger plan.What was the bigger plan?  Well, there was a short-term plan and a long-term plan.  The long-term plan was to pave the way for outright government dominance of housing, and I’ll tell you more about that in a moment.  But the short-term plan was to make sure that the “crash”, as it were, happened while Bush was still in office in order to improve the chances of election for Barrack Obama.This isn’t theory, my friends, conspiracy theory or otherwise.  It’s very well known that the panic that led to genuine hysteria in 2008 happened precisely because Chuck Schumer, Democrat Senator from New York, wrote a memo questioning the solvency of IndyMac bank – a bank that was a political target for Schumer’s accomplices – and then Schumer purposefully leaked that memo to the public!Look, when a U.S. Senator who holds a number of important positions relative to the oversight of banks and lenders, that’s big news… and that news was reported, as Schumer anticipated.  That caused a run on IndyMac banks, and the 2nd largest bank failure in history.  And it was no accident… the director of the office of Thrift Supervision, John Reich, observed that Democrat Schumer had given IndyMac a heart attack.That moment in history was chosen because, of course, it kicked off a financial crisis of generational magnitude… and because Bush was still in office, the political repercussions were clear.Obama won the presidency – promising a fundamental transformation of America as we know it – and he began by providing literally TRILLIONS of dollars of non-existent money to cover the losses of the big financial institutions.  Note that that money was used to pay off the big financial firms.  Very, very little of it was used to bring relief to individuals.Along the way, the government took a huge step towards taking over our health care through ObamaCare… part of Obama’s fundamental transformation of America.But the issue at hand TODAY is a new “crisis” identified by Harvard – the rental crisis in which the number of renters is bigger than ever and growing constantly… and in which a huge percentage of those renters simply can’t afford their rents.Does that sound familiar to you?  Does it sound like, perhaps, the mortgage crisis?Yes, it does… both the mortgage crisis and the new “rental crisis” – which isn’t a crisis at all – were wholly manufactured with the sole intent of destabilizing our housing system and causing there to be a crisis, real or perceived.And remember what Democrat Rahm Emmanuel said – “you never let a good crisis go to waste”.And in tomorrow’s episode of Self Directed Investor Radio, I’ll tell you where I think this particular crisis is going to lead… and give you some tips on how to play it as an investor.Folks, we’re going to be covering some
