I want to share with you one thing if you if you just focus on this one tip You're lucid dream very easily and in my opinion This is the only thing you should as a beginner You should focus on if you're especially if you're struggling to lucid dream which a lot of people are so before we get into it Obviously subscribe give it a like and check out my free video training in the description So what is this one thing so one thing is you should focus on what you can control versus what you can't control So you can't really control when you lucid dream within reason I mean you can have an influence on it But you can't ultimately force a lucid dream these most people can't however You can control what time you go to sleep when how often you do reality checks or if you even do them And how often you meditate you can control those things directly So instead of setting yourself a goal of you know I will have to lucid dreams this month because you ultimately don't really control that you should set a smart goal Which you do control for example You can say I will meditate five minutes every day and then you can decide whether you do that It's not dependent on luck or anything like that You just simply set yourself the goal and do it and the same thing with sleeping you could say as one of your goals I will go to bed at 10 and wake up at 6 and do that every day And it's ultimately these small habits these small decisions that will actually you know move you towards lucid dreaming more than anything else And ironically it is actually the stuff you can control that will determine whether you lose a dream or not But what a lot of people make the mistake of doing is they'll set a goal Like I'll have five lucid dreams this week and then of course when they don't have five lucid dreams They beat themselves up and say oh, I'm terrible I'll never be able to do it or it's difficult or it's impossible But really the problem is you just set the goal wrong You set yourself a goal that you don't really have control over so you you know You're setting yourself up for failure because then when you don't do it Then you assume you did something wrong when the truth is you just didn't set the goal in the right way Whereas if you set the goal like directly about something you can control like I will meditate five minutes a day Then you know that if you didn't do it, it's because it's because of you It's not some random thing. It's outside of your control then you can just say okay Well tomorrow I'll make sure that I actually meditate for five minutes and this applies to anything by the way You know you need to break it down any goal You need to break down into tiny steps that you have actually got control over because otherwise You're setting yourself up for failure So break lucid dreaming down and maybe I'll make a whole full video about how to actually do this But to start with you know break it down to the things that actually determine whether you lose a dream And obviously luck is one big part of it But a lot of it is to do with your sleep pattern So how regular your sleep cycle is and you can control that by when you go to bed and when you wake up You can control that another one is your level of general awareness Which is improved by meditating which you can control and then the third part is reality checks Which you can control you can decide to do five reality checks a day And there are several other things that you have influence over direct control that will determine whether you lose a dream that you're probably not Thinking about like for example coffee or caffeine if you're drinking coffee after 2 p.m It's been shown that it negatively affects your sleep. That's something you can control You know just stop drinking coffee at 2 after 2 p.m. And there's of course the obvious ones You know like you shouldn't be drinking alcohol or taking Drugs at least if you're gonna do it don't do it on the nights You're trying to lose a dream because it's probably gonna interfere with your REM sleep There's these kinds of things you know about now at least and you have control over them So that is the thing you should focus on because I see I see a lot of people do this right They'll say right. I'm gonna get serious about lucid dreaming. I'm good or whatever the goal is I'm gonna get serious about this I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna do it three times this month. Okay Well, how do you know that you will actually do it three times this month and it's also so vague You know how you don't know what will actually make it happen. Do you ultimately like look remember the last time you lucid dreamed You I imagine would have difficulty telling me exactly what caused you to be lucid. It just sort of happened Didn't it could have been the reality checks you did the day before it could have been your intention your inspiration your beliefs Or simply could have been a random thought that you had, you know Or a random dream sign that triggered awareness or something that disturbed your REM sleep at just the right time It could have been anything and so it's outside of your control However, the things that make it more likely lucid dreaming are in your control So just focus on those, you know, that's that that's the most logical way of doing it If you don't know which of these things will actually make it happen Just do as many of the things that you can control and you make it more likely So anyway, I go into way more detail on my training Which is in description check it out and leave a comment telling me what has been the most effective tip for you I will actually try and reply to everyone


What is the minimum age you would give someone a black belt to me when I teach? I don't give anyone under 15 a black belt because in my opinion someone who is 10 won't be able to defend themselves against a 30-year-old Excellent question sensei of shallon keppel karate. Thank you for bringing this up. I Have received heated messages from this before because we've done topics about kids getting black belts should there shouldn't be This is not an easy topic and there's so many things I agree with and disagree with the whole concept When I taught at the schools I taught at we did give kids black belts, but they were junior black belts and we were very Very adamant on the specifying the difference between a junior black belt and adult black belt The junior black belt in our school all it meant was that that kid has now graduated from the kids material They understood that they had a certain level of adult material they worked on and they got their junior black belt And then from that point on and that you should took them about four years on average But from that point on they They they started the adult curriculum to work towards your adult black belt Well, which is going to take them probably another three four years So we do the math on that if you've got a kid who starts at five and you know You're gonna make them train eight years nine years. Okay. Well, they're gonna be like approaching their early teens You're starting to dance that gray area of should they be black or not Can I would you say a ten-year-old defend themselves against a 30 year old? Define defend yourself.  No, that's not a very realistic scenario Although I have worked with some 12 and 13 and 14 year old students who were built like adults We had a 12 year old in class He was as tall as I was and he had muscles and he was strong Is he gonna put up a fight for 30 year old you better believe it Dude, I was a little apprehensive sparring him because he hadn't refined his control yet But he had the size he had the strength and he had the skill He was he had to work on control, but he had that skill. So some kids Grow better than others and yes, sometimes a 14 year old or a 12 year old can defend against an adult Depending on the adult, of course, are you talking about a 300 pound bodybuilder attacking them? Yeah, probably not But the average male. Yeah, they had a fairly good chance Again, if some were to grab them or try to hurt them They could at least have a very good chance to get away. So in my opinion, is there a minimum age? I don't think there should be a hard death set age saying okay 18 and no one else under I think it depends or should be judged on the individual student when you feel like they've reached that point where they could defend themselves If it's a 12 year old who could defend themselves against the adult then so be it if they can't do until they're 18 So be it but I do think it's important if it is a school that has a black belt program for children I think it's important to make that distinction that these are not adult black belt ranks that these are this you are graduating Your children's curriculum now you're going to adult curriculum So what we did was in the class for these kids and we made them work for it You know, it's not like they just got that junior black belt one day. They had to train for a month They had to do their miles. They had to do push-ups their calisthenics They had to spar for an hour with each other or two hours They had to do two hours of techniques and goddess It was a whole day for them.   They were 15 16 17. They were at the age They could perform so no, I don't think there needs to be a hard dead set definitive age I do think it needs to be a range I think anywhere from 12 to 18 anywhere in that range only because I have seen a handful of 12-year-olds who could It's not common, but there's a couple out there who can do it It's gotta be when you feel that student. They have they have to have the curriculum for one They have to understand the academics find like they have to know what they can't just memorize the moves If that student can do the moves and they understand Why they do those moves and they can formulate and freestyle and make good judgment calls and have that discipline Then how have they not earned that as opposed to anybody else if they can do it Then I think they've earned it and that's just my personal opinion I know a lot of people say there should be a hard age and that's fine for your school It's just I'm just talking about where I'm coming from


Hey everybody, it's Hari Swaminathan, OptionTiger.com, thought I'd give an update today's Monday, April 10th and it's about 2.30 in this afternoon and just wanted to cover a few things about the overall market and you can see that the market has been going up and it hit this 2401 on the ES which is the S&P futures and then it's sort of been knocked off to the side and hit a low and then again once again we are in a little bit of a flat channel here.  There's always going to be a battle there and at that point at least the bears would come together in a pretty strong way that's enough and we push this down. Similarly you might find it at 2300 at 2500 so always remember these big round numbers always tend to act as support or resistance in many cases especially if it's like an all-time high and it hits that so that's definitely a conviction so if you were looking at this perhaps in the next day or two after this you would have identified a bearish trade there. Now bearish trade on the S&P means in general most stocks that are highly correlated will also act the same way so you could have taken this on any stock that correlates well to the S&P 500. Now so that was one thing I wanted to point out. Second thing is if you look at the current state it's a little weird I think some volatility is building up and so what I mean is like on a day like today I think you've heard me say before about the Wix how I don't particularly think it's a good tool for long-term risk assessment. However for the short run it works as design so you know if you look at this now today even though the market is marginally up it's not up by a whole lot but you can see that the Wix is climbing now it's gone into 13.74 it's up 87 cents and so that's telling you that you know with this latest issue with the chemical weapons and the bombing there is some fear coming into the market so options are rising in value and therefore we should see this kind of a pattern going into the next few days and perhaps it will remain at somewhat of an elevated level until there's like some kind of resolution to the problem which is obviously going to be very difficult to achieve over the short run or the medium run in any case so you can see that option prices will start increasing and that gives you better opportunities for selling premiums so whether it's a credit spread or an iron condor this would be a decent time to look at those kind of trades now you also have to be nimble because obviously because there is some exposure to this geopolitical event or it's not an event per se but just the situation itself that there is some exposure to that so if you're going to do a credit spread you know I prefer a bear call because you know you get the advantage of the volatility crush if at all the market starts to move up if you look at it from a trend line perspective obviously here was one and you know it started you know it started going down from there so that's definitely one you know trend line there and you can see that it kind of passes through or you know touches that touches that and you know coming down all the way here to the present day so that definitely is one trend line that we can draw and you can see the market is respecting that trend line the other trend line although shorter is something like this over here so because this was the other one that created a turnaround and so this is also a short term sort of our trending I mean a trend line so if we draw these two out you can see that this is a it's forming like a triangle or a wedge whatever you want to call it the important thing is prices are constricting and so you know volatility or rather the pressure is starting to build up and perhaps over the next in the future obviously these lines have not met yet the more it constricts the more there is pressure and it will sort of release that pressure in either direction so over the next week or two I would expect that we should see some kind of a bigger move there and so perhaps a straddle or a strangle may not be a bad idea as well but you would obviously want to go out a little bit further so that your time decay doesn't hurt you and so I would say something in the month of end of May June something like that would be a good straddle or a strangle case over and of course we don't intend to keep it that long all we want to do is take advantage of some kind of a move is expected over the next couple of weeks I think so even you can go longer also three months four months whatever you're comfortable with but these are some of the trades that can work in this environment that we are entering into right now so today is March I mean April 10th it's about 2.30 in the afternoon look forward to seeing you if you have any questions please send us an email info at optiontiger.com otherwise please feel free to share this video on your social networks if you liked it thank you very much bye bye


good evening how are you fine and you I'm a little bit tired I'm a little bit dusty I'm dirty yeah I'm with that tired part so I could really need some sleep yeah and I definitely now want to enjoy a little bit of the fire pit here because I didn't had enough fire on time outside here but don't bring them on ideas no fire is good actually actually yes yeah it was an absolute awesome event for me I had a great time running around seeing all the stuff but all the people bring here all the things which were happening here like I didn't had no time to see anything my experience is more like oh wow here's something here something it's like it's it's day day two and a half or so sorry currently it's like day two day two and a half yeah it's not maybe not long enough maybe I'm not I need some clones of myself something like that because all the workshops projects all the sessions talks we had a full packed far plan up far plan the launch it was amazing who was in the launch by the way it's quite a few hands okay okay who here about the trick that in cold nights you go into the launch to warm up more hands yes because that's the way that was the best way to stay warm in the night it was really really cold it was really cold but then it got warmer but now it's really warm so it's like nothing in between it was cold and then it was just hot so the sweet spot was like 20 minutes in the morning before you just fell out of your tent yeah and then you run around and see all the things and think like okay I need to do this I need to do that I need to do this I drove with a train I drove with a train you drove the train no not the train but it broke with a train okay yeah heck us on a train heck us on the train yeah I mean if you if you run around here on this huge area and we had like 230 villages something like that and every single village was bringing a shitload of stuff and kitchens and kitchens incredible nice meals I hope you had some of that yes yeah and they also brought pools oh did does anyone know how many pools we had on camp ten ten or something okay so there were multiple pools some of them heated I was just for a short short jump in one of the lakes yeah I heard about that heated pool maybe that was also a good choice if you want was brand not in the launch jump in the heated pool in the summer yeah maybe in that cold night probably probably so I mean if you run around and see all that I was heavily amazed by this community yes it's always it's always wonderful to see how people do stuff together like the villages helping each other out and new projects just emerging and new yeah cooperatives coming out of that camp from people who just met up because the tents were close together or something it was really really wonderful to see that growing absolutely on the other hand there come some old helpful friends up you hear probably that cows eat the cow zone the east cows were sending care packets to cows west that was special kind of and all this all this volunteers I mean I do a little bit of organization here but I every time on every event you met new people who doing crazy stuff and all the organization teams getting bigger and bigger and every single human is working on a part and making this event happen and I think this is worth a big applause for all yes you saw probably all the numbers in the infrastructure review and if you didn't saw them you maybe want to watch the infrastructure review afterwards because it's like impressive yes and you can still get into helping out for teardown but we're not yet there no absolutely not because one of the things on this camp and also on other events on this of this style is I'm very fascinated about everybody has a different experience on that I mean we all work in some teams or angeling or just presenting our own projects or stuff like that so everybody sees with different eyes this event yeah so it's quite a little bit of a different camp for everyone here so each of us experienced the same event but different so we can talk about the camp and we'll have like 5,000 different stories 5,000 different adventures 5,000 different wonderful ideas that came up and more absolutely I mean one of one of my personal favorite experience was the junk desert on day two did you had some it was a bit of sugary so it could have been okay but it was nice and creamy yeah for sure yeah and it's very good for bribing people yes by the way by the way one guy tried to bribe me yesterday to make some advertisement for his new business fieldcalf.biz but I forgot the sticker oh come on but I didn't say anything so I only found hackers for future.de okay you got some coffee for that or actually not I just found the sticker and I think hackers for future is a pretty cool idea so since we have Fridays for future scientists for future parents for future hackers for future come on power absolutely I mean if you see what groups here were on all that reusable straws reusable straw who has one with him who has one who has one usable straw nobody nobody one reusable straw at the 5,000 people camp interesting okay fine so you better we're visiting one of these sustainability groups there were very nice discussions about freedom and also like you probably saw the solar reinsights lighting they had a truck on the center with some solar panels on top and we're charging your phones for free that was pretty cool but it's not everything was connected to the solar power we all had or we had a lot of blink and stuff everywhere so the whole camp was gleaming at night and it was so pretty with the fairy dust and the palm tree and the unicorn called Olga at the palm tree Olga Olga okay I think she'll come to to Congress yeah so this was really wonderful if it's fireproof B1 we need to check it we'll check about probably with with a hex maybe yeah B1 I know the first B1 fireproof fire fire pit in the world yeah the blink stuff there were one very specific position when it came from the from the flipper area who was playing flipper in the casino lots of nice okay nice when you came outside outside from the flipper area there was one specific point where you had a view to the rocket the palm tree and the bugger construction vehicle yeah something like that and the light show from the was was just behind the rocket so you had like a really huge a huge very impressive light installation by the way light installation who had seen the light installation outside here at 10 to 1 laser show we got lasers we got big fucking lasers yes big layers and that was an awesome show outside yes it was yeah pretty much fitting to the Fluchtwege Freihalten wall over there yes who saw who saw the very big sign with keep rescue ways free thank you please keep this way three on the other hand there were crazy signs everywhere my personal favorite was at the cash desk entrance I think on was on day minus one or something like that the caravan was trying to turn around and he drove on it and now we have signs there C3 think a sinkhole needed some time to get the caravan out of it yeah and installations I mean we are sitting here now at the fire pit there was one guy with a hat poofing fire that was not be one that was not be one true but it was okay the firefighter said it was fine okay we had we had a request on beforehand if somebody wanted to bring propane gaze poof a trike to cycle around that on the campground is that guy here I want to talk to you yeah that's so many awesome projects I think I haven't seen like 10% of what was there definitely not I mean we can talk about a lot of things we found here there was one pretty impressive thing one guy had an RFID reader with him and he was just running around for 10 minutes because in a lot of new bought stuff our RFID tags and he found like 155 single RFID tags in 10 minutes and now he knows all the products you were buying new and come to here yes applause have you seen the complaint office which one I think there were three I saw at least two which ones I saw the purple bar at the three headed monkey there was a bar with a window in and also they had some from the from the trees to throw to each other so if you were angry you could okay and and this bureaucracy from Austria yes the salts and yeah which one was the third one third one was at the Hexen the anger exchange point yeah exchange point yes I think the the anger exchange point and the one the purple bar they brought all their complaints to the salts and and when you put your complaint form at the salts and in that in that box there was a shredder inside and the result is there want some complaints yeah the complaints are not be one sorry I think try that maybe try to bribe them oh no it's not working someone tried to bribe the sales and and they put a five euro note inside it was shredded did it did they found it they I think they glued it together but oh they found most of it that's nice oops for five euros getting all these complaints okay yeah well but I think the best part of camp or what I heard from many people apart from all the projects and all the cool stuff that people brought it's that camp got much more diverse and much more political and that was a pretty good thing in all the feedback we collected before this talk so a big thank you to all the ones who brought political projects who made ecological talks and workshops at the at the free-headed monkey at the about freedom cluster over there it was pretty cool to see how the community developed their own voice and getting louder again and this is I think a really really cool thing thank you for all of you absolutely yeah and there's some there was often a big discussion about if the CCC is political yes it is but it's not party political so we have a political interest also you can see probably with a escape routes have to be free and human rights and also kind of the Antifa flag outside in this area here in Brandenburg but I don't want to get into details field phone up there so if someone visited the Antifa flag people who were able to claim up there if not that that ever happened but in case someone would have been up there they could have phoned did use someone a field phone on the chimney no one it was working I had to call once up there I've not been up there me neither I'm not the climbing person and that that's just the crazy stuff you all guys built up here when who has a field phone on them how high it is 40 meters 50 I don't care I don't know up on the chimney crazy freaking high just beside the the antenna the Wi-Fi connection I saw it in infrastructure review before I mean 57 57 kilometers to Berlin air gap 400 megabit per second whoa on on the political side you've been to Millie ways once yes for pretty short time but yes I have been up there okay pro tip for next time this they have whiskey leaks if you're in whiskey I heard about that yeah okay but they had another very nice nice thing called mail to the jail but they're organizing emailing people human sitting in jails for very interesting reasons oh the post office is here hi what can I do for you oh we have urgent delivery here what is it oh yes I can you can note it as received do you need a signing or something okay thank you very much okay um what do we have here we have a we have a small statement about from this mail to the jail system I'm reading it hi camp my name is olabini I'm currently in the last 10 days of investigation for unspecific attacks against the integrity of computer systems here in Ecuador who knows the case olabini quite a few hands okay quite a few hands here's a guy who was doing his friendships with Julian Assange with Julian Assange and is now in in Ecuador sitting in jail under very strange circumstances he followed the investigation seemed to be founded on two things my friendship with Julian Assange and the fact that I have many pieces of technology in my possession during 130 days of investigation not a single incrementing piece of evidence have been found last week a picture was circulated that was claimed to be irrefutable proof that I had entered the computer systems of the Ecuadorian telephone and network provider CNT the picture in fact showed the opposite that I never entered nor tried to enter and that I sent the picture to try to get the whole fixed there are many dangers facing technologies these days the fundamental lack of understanding how computers work is a big part of this but also the persecution of people that work on digital human rights we all need to continue pushing forward not allowing these kinds of attacks against our community to continue Ecuador and my case is more extreme than in many other places but I will set a precedent that other countries will use if we let them I wish I was there having these conversations with you in person I wish I could come to Congress in four months and see you all but it's very unlikely Ecuador will let me go so I send you my greetings from here continue the fight it's it's crucial for us in our community to take care about each other and there are enough people who get in real trouble because they just found out some security holes and try to get in contact with manufacturers or governments if you want to help olabini just try to read for the case that you can make your own picture of it and you can treat about that with hashtag free olabini of follow their account free olabini I invite you to do that you know there are many people here doing their political work or doing their part in whatever project came out of to what and other big movements that yeah spring from our community one of those people I met yesterday in the evening and told me here at camp I finally collected enough energy so it can work on all our projects again from tomorrow on and I hope this is for everyone of you like at least a little part true that you can take whatever yeah use you experienced here you part of the camp take it home have it inside you and feed from it for the next month for the next ccc events where we come together again so I'm sorry I'm also always emotional at closing events I don't know why I said yes to actually sit here and not there maybe it helps this time I'm not sure about that okay yeah yeah the thing is always where there is a the saying that you have the post-congress syndrome some people know it's when you get back into this normal world without all-day problems without any visions with the risk the reckless respect less people running around which are like probably minimized or not even here we talked about yeah minimized there are 5,000 people you always have some not so excellent people yeah but probably they can work on it yeah more excellent the next time not spraying graffiti is on rented tents honestly whoever this was might want to take a step back and think about his life yeah yeah he has a bit of time while hacking on his card IO so maximized me or the better me probably maybe someone wants to write an app for that to get better on that yeah don't don't don't spray on tans by baiting a lot every night before you get drunken I hadn't so many much time to get on the on the batch just like a little bit in between but it looks like really amazing you you got it to actually showing the right time yes okay I didn't manage that one yeah don't reset it at the moment I'm pretty sure they will work on that because the rest won't surprisingly smooth so even if you're not so much in in this computer stuff this device is definitely one very great entrance into this smart device smart home and also like metering yourself big applause for the cardio team because it's awesome you know I'm quite out of my notes here but I have one more you have one more yes I have one more I'll get in touch with computers like mid 90s and playing Monkey Island was was really one of my favorite things and you probably saw that crazy pirate ship at the three-headed monkey village and also like the whole seeming and there was one hidden gem you saw this boat standing before it some of them had a had a small thing which you can open and then playing Monkey Island I didn't see I lost some time there yes so many wonderful projects so much glamour so much blink and everywhere I think we could go on for like 40 hours to tell you about all the cool things and we couldn't do all of that because we didn't see and not all of them I think it's totally impossible to do that don't get irritated I'm hungry okay go on okay is it guessing fuzzy already I think they need some more time but no where was I alright so many projects we would like like no it's not a silent minute for all of them but a big applause for all the very cool stuff and I hope that we can all probably see most of them at some point on Twitter or at the next Congress or wherever and have a bit more yeah more ccc in our lives then hopefully yeah oh you have that pretty nice yeah I'm sitting outside at fire pits often so I know how to handle this for the easy way yeah you fix the bug there yeah but I usually don't turn them off do you know somebody because I think it's time to go to bed now yeah that would be nice someone should should yeah maybe we have some maybe we have some professionals for that hopefully turning off anyone no professionals here turning off the fire oh I guess we get some help for that this is pretty nice thank you very much you're from power right you great thank you very much good night


I had the amazing opportunity to go to Thailand this year. I went to a little place in northeast Thailand called Kon Ken with six other nursing students. We went into the hospitals and we met people in the community. We worked with other Thai nursing students and it was honestly the best experience in my entire life. I am so passionate about this. I think everyone should do an overseas experience while you're at uni.


Hi This is Mx ux This is a video devoted to Divining personalities for the three contending pickup trucks the EV pickup trucks that are coming to market I'm gonna see who's first and the idea here is to Give them a mnemonic I believe the words mnemonic device to allow us to remember The different models and their characteristics We're gonna define a personality for each of the trucks You know everybody's been doing a lot of serious Analysis on on the three contenders for the first EV pickup truck and You know the chart analysis and the debt ratios and red flags and so forth and I think I'm a little tired of it you probably are too so let's take a break with the holiday here and I think we should assign a personality To each of these three trucks that are contending be the the first TV to market and this is beyond the data and And this this will allow us to keep keep the three candidates Straighten our mind and their characteristics so mnemonic device So how do we define the truck personalities? Well, what we're gonna do is we're going to try to define the movie star or movie character That best describes the new pickup trucks personality or appearance that tries to get the The whole character of the truck Into one fine point it can be it can be a present personality or movie character or or one from the past I did did a lot of search a little a lot of work on this and And you may have to Google my choices if Especially if you're a younger viewer Because I did quite a deep dive on this You can agree with me or disagree with me comment come up with your own nominations You know we can pick a winner or whatever, but I think I nailed this and Just to note before we get started. I have I have no axe to grind. I'm totally neutral on this. I am I Have no favorite. So let's give it a try the first truck we're gonna try to define the EV truck we're gonna try to define is the cyber truck and And This is this is what I come up with it's swashbuckling Adventurer It's an outsider It's a bit foreign Although we don't We don't quite know where it's from it's got you know sharp features Is it is it a euro thing? Is it a euro personality? Not not sure We're not really sure It is a risk taper and It's definitely been in the law, okay We got no rear view mirrors there. So swashbuckling adventurer outsider perhaps foreign and A risk taker. So who is the movie star or movie character that best defines the cyber truck?  I Think there's no doubt All right, let's move on to our our next candidate for the first EV truck and and That is the Rivian RT1 and Here's what I come up with for the Rivian.

So, you know, it's no excuses. You know, everybody's prepared. Everybody's ready. You know, I'm just glad that it's, you know, just springing up the more and hopefully, you know, he can heal up in the next 48. Yes. Can you just walk us through what was communicated to you guys with the fire alarms going off and being asked what happened there? It was just an locker room. It went off and we didn't know whether it was a test or whether it was, you know, you know, somebody pulled the alarm. So it wasn't like, you know, we were rushed out right away. It wasn't for about another 15, 20 minutes before they started to force us out.  So, you know, that's important.  Tired. But I mean, I knew that was going to happen. I got to find my rhythm, you know, sitting out that long, especially for the playoffs.  So, you know, the rhythm has to come.  So it'll come, it'll come back. You know, I got to get my rest and, you know, try to, you know, do whatever I can to help our team on a good game, game five. Alex Schiffer, do you have fun? Hey, Jeff, I got two for you. Just, you guys done a pretty good job of containing the three ball from them throughout the series. Obviously, they got hot early on. That was the right thing you guys want to wait from that allowed them to get out from three early on? I believe they just made shots. They're good players. Drew, Chris, they're good players. But, you know, I think they just made shots.  And, you know, they got a rhythm and they just got it going. And, you know, that's how they got to leave. And I forget, all fan, if you run the court when Kyrie got hurt enough, did you see if Yonis undercut him when he went up for that rebound? No, it was not on the court and I didn't see what exactly happened. I'm not going to sit here and say he didn't hurt anybody, whoever it was or whatever happened. It happened on purpose. I think it was just something that, you know, happened, you know, through our basketball.  Christian Wynfield, New York Daily News. Hey, Jeff, sorry somebody asked you this, they evacuated us and we're just now sitting back down. But do you have Kyrie go down after having James go down? Is it just kind of like you guys can't catch a break?   But like I said, when I was asked before, you know, it's just the next man up. We have to find a way to, you know, give momentum somewhere.  You know, whoever's in, whatever five is in. And that's what we needed to do, but we didn't get the job done.

So, more or less, for the story of the public, there are a few notable heroes here that actually you are going to look at. So, first and foremost would be Jani, because Jani is actually the general of this team and she is going to be very dominant, especially if you level up her attack. Her attack stat should be high enough so that her charm will actually take effect on the enemies of the other side. So this will make or break your team. So, more or less again, she has to have the highest attack stat of all versus your enemies on the other side. So, this is actually her must trigger spell or passive for you to have a good story of the public team. We'll discuss later on how to boost this, but let's move to the other heroes that are here. So, Key as well is Adams for his really serious Reaper Sickle S2 with burst damage and 750% damage to one enemy. This is actually a killer. He's an assassin more or less and this really hurts a bit. So again, these are your core and which includes as well Shell. Shell is actually here because of your cleanse and also what you call this, your night carnival which is increased critical hit by 100% and also she is important because of this one taking out barriers and also reduces hit. She has a lot of debuffs actually which is actually vital, but she requires charm the enemies for this to trigger. So, your core again will be composed of Shell, Adams and Jani. Let me just go back to Jani. Jani is actually not that bad. She is going to rely heavily on her passive. What makes her great is actually her passive especially charm. Her S1 and S2 are actually great because these complements her passive as well. So, more or less, Jani are your core. Jin actually had a recent upgrade to his passive as well. So, he now has secret stealth technique which is actually more on increased dodge and reduces damage received and it has branding removes branding marks from all enemies and secret stealth technique effect when attack. So, again his skills his silence is triggered also when charm is taken into effect on the enemies on the other side as well as his S2. Okay. So, you have four that you can actually use mix and match. You can actually swap Adams for Jin whenever you need to but more or less I would really recommend to bring the three of them. So, Jani, Adams, and Shell. Swap Jin for Adams but also you can consider one other hero that is, I think, vital, that could be vital because of healing which is Legger. Legger also had a recent update on her kit as well for her revive and for giving shields as well again, barriers and more or less she is a great support. I will test her out as soon as I have her leveled up but for now, the ones that I'm using for Astorius will be mainly Jani, Adams, Jin, and Shell. Okay. In terms of team composition the ones that you will be pairing with Astorius mainly would be either Wasted Red or Greenland mainly because they have two of the best healers if you consider Rudley healers so Rudley and Talia on the other hand. So, more or less those are the pairings but I'm going to be discussing Wasted Red in this pairing so let's move on to team compositions. So, there will be in terms of manually playing it you'll be carrying either an offensive type Astorius public team or a defensive type so for your defensive type you're going to be bringing you're going to be a defensive type this is actually your team already so you have here Garf Shell, you have here Rudley Jani and you have here Annie they are very good in terms of controlling tempo, silence turn resets what else what do you call this dot damages or damage over time from Garf and also from Jani so this is the team that I'm bringing now as a defensive team but if you want to choose offense more over defense which I already tested which is actually pretty much okay you're going to swap out Garf with Adams for this one so this is going to be your manual offensive team and more or less they are very good as well but they kind of lack a bit of staying power if they encounter really tough teams really leveled up teams for Greenland or leveled up teams for Yanombe so that is why I am using the defensive version and also for auto once you're in defense mode or you're setting up your team for defense all you have to do for both offensive and offensive and defensive team is to swap out Annie for Maggie because again when the barrier that she provides she provides it to the back row so more or less again she gives them a little bit more of survivability especially when if you choose to use the defensive type so again this will be a good lineup for you to bring keys to this team would be Jani increasing her attack Jani how to increase attack would be in her gear enhancements so recently we have had we have had what do you call this we have had R2 gears already so it's best that you upgrade her gears you do enhancements with your fate core her attack skill is now at 9,430 which is actually close to the top already I want to max her attack stat at around 9,900 or around 10,000 if it's possible so that she could maximize her charm and giving charm to your enemies on the other side another one that you should consider in building Jani would be your signature force because there are a lot of buffs actually in terms of signature force so for my historic republic buffs I'm currently at 3-2 so this is recently this was just recently completed and I still need this for buffs for historic republic heroes for all so this additional attack again HP and attack speed and the last one would be decreases elemental damage received by heroes from historic republic by 30% so again I'm near the top and I'm quite satisfied with what I have in terms of signature force already and also you need to consider two blue fate cores in building your historic republic team so one core that you need would be blue fate corera which grants buff to chaos type which Jani is obviously chaos type so again this is actually or should be increased so I think I only have her at I think she is at plus 2 or plus 3 I don't remember but again this should be buffed more another blue fate core that you should consider getting fusions for is also blue fc Yao okay so I think for fc Yao I think I have her at fusion 1 and more or less I need to bump up her fusion as well okay so match up problems for stories number one for teams with barriers and a big problem fortunately you have shell there to take care of barriers but you have to make sure that she hits them with her s1 and they are afflicted by charm as well so if she misses if she actually misses with her s1 then you will definitely lose a turn in terms of getting rid of the shield and also for redly um redly is actually important in terms of if you want to pair stories with wayson red because again he needs to be able to to get this off his s2 which increases maximum health and defense and grants a barrier equal to 70% of own maximum health to him and to the lowest I think this is to the lowest person or the lowest hero that um or the squishiest one and also you actually need Annie here to trigger burning soul burning soul is actually given to the fastest or the highest attack speed which is usually redly so again that is why Annie is usually here in terms of manually playing it because you should give that s2 so that everyone in the stories or in this team would be able to survive and also you will kind of have a difficulty in terms of encountering mirror matches in terms of stories in public as well I think you won't have a problem as long as you are confident that you have maxed out your attack for your jini okay let's have some few matches here so I have been I'm actually still at master 3 so more or less I'm going to use that defensive type of match of unit so have here Annie redly jini garf and also shell this team to pvp and let's see how this fares I've actually been playing this team and the other one the offensive type since probably this morning and have had a couple of matches that is why I have climbed up to master 3 so far so more or less I'm aiming to climb master 1 more or less so that I could at least rank I with this team that I'm bringing so again to start off either be first or second to act with redly because again you need to trigger that S2 usually if there are faster heroes usually you go secondly so with burning soul you go with S2 make sure that your team survives gaining additional HP additional defense and also a barrier to redly into another hero so I think we're all set this is actually kinda difficult match up because of Talia here but what I do usually is I would silence um I would silence Schmid so that he doesn't use his S1 and he just uses a regular attack so more or less we just push on let's wait for actually I'm going to just wait for Shell for her turn because we actually need to remove the barrier for those who have charm so I think there are only 1 and 2 heroes or enemies on the other side that are charm so well I have to live without and pick them apart I think it's 3 you have redly, Schmid and Talia this is actually difficult match up because you have 2 healers here you have Talia and you have redly in this team so let's try to silence uh Bathory the problem with redly because he also silences my team so that is why I don't like redly on the opposing team paired with Talia it's okay if it's only 1 of them but normally if it's the 2 of them it's definitely a bigger headache okay so shield is out for redly and for Schmid so let's wait for our turn and see if we can survive this onslaught from the opponent so it would be best to be ready with usually an AOE attack a burst AOE which actually Annie has to unleash when it's your turn so more or less again I really hate Talia in terms of silencing her as an opponent because she she really keeps her team as well healthy and more or less alive so I think we're pretty much holding on good so let's do another S2 to keep ourselves healed and defended well okay so who's next Schmid is next so I wasn't able to silence Schmid so more or less he'll be using his S2 oh yeah I still have another turn so I'm gonna silence Schmid so that he will you only use his basic attack so this is what I hate double heals for the opposing team Redly and Talia well let's see this is actually a hard matchup I really understand so we have here let's try to use this one I'm at 9 mana let's see how much damage it deal my pole dancing wizard dealing damage so good that Redly's at I think it's at 1 4th I spoke too soon I'm gonna silence Schmid again double silence if necessary then let's try this S2 for Junai give them poison kill them softly killing them softly this is going to be pretty much a long match I'm sure as long as I'm consistent in taking off their barriers I think I'll be fine so the goal right now is to either take out Schmid or Redly and the rest will follow suit so who's next it's going to be Garf Garf enemy Redly and let's try to take out Talia but I doubt it so miss actually Talia is actually very good in dodging she her survivability and built is actually very very good although I haven't built my Greenland team I think only Rera is built in my team right now so down goes Junai and more or less I'll have to be contented and play the game without her this is actually still salvageable guys I've experienced being a man down in other matches and still pull out a win so let's see so next up battery hopefully could weather this battery two attacks I'm sure she's going to attack another one after this one for down to one third health no heals please for the other team down to three people so again I tell you guys this team in terms of Greenland is actually a nightmare in terms of the twin heals especially if you don't have charm leveled up it's pretty much a hard match up to have but again it's actually still manageable as long as you were able to take off the shield so again my team still needs to be leveled up Signature Force Blue Fate course and more or less I still need a lot of additional stats for what do you call this for generalized attack stat to be increased so let's actually just try to finish this off and end this and let's move on to another match hopefully I could have better luck with the match after that one probably a more favorable one really have a hard time dealing with barriers two healers this one I think would be better so this is kind of again a mirror match so all of them have charm so that means that the enemy Junae actually has higher attack than mine so let's try to pull this off if I can so I already have my defense up let's just silence rudly my boy so that he cannot okay somebody took the debuff off so let's just try to weather this storm Junae storm and so shell is still here let's try to attack garf without shield pretty much a very tanky team on the other side again matchups are pretty much toss up on who are you going to get this one I didn't really expect to have I'm guessing a lot of people have been using stories already and the teams but again the builds are very specific in terms of which factions you can bring with them the other faction has a similar build to mine but she has Maggie in the back so let's try to take out their shields with my shell so the difference is only Maggie and Annie for this mirror matchup at least it hit and the shields are out then I'm free to run wild as well okay so unleash unleash the Annie go Annie go Annie so I have two more attacks two more aoy attacks to try to weather them down it's good that I have bind as well for Jani the last one would be Bradley so I hope that I can do my aoy attack and take him out so again as I've said guys for a mirror match it usually boils down to who takes out the shield first and do a lot of aoy damage usually it's in your favor if you're playing this on manual but again the enemy is doing it on auto so again you can decide better once you're doing this on manual so Jani concert kpop to go free to go took care of Maggie took care of Bradley and more or less taking care of Garf as well so two left shell and Jani it's a good thing that I don't have any shields so her S1 doesn't really matter in terms of barrier removal her Jani is actually quite a bit priest attack so what do we do let's have a repeat of this is what I like about shell her S2 is actually a reset and additional mana which actually I can play her pick what I want for that turn so if I wanted heals and damage I would go for Bradley if I wanted damage over time I could go with Jani what else if I wanted who's the other one if I wanted Garf to attack I could actually choose Garf but again the best candidates usually for her S2 would be either Adams Bradley and Annie so Jani versus Jani I actually like this one better in terms of her costume I like the original better versus her FC costume I'm actually just waiting for for what do you call this the new FC Jani I think it's the silver one I like that outfit better so more or less I'm actually just waiting for that to be launched I hope they could launch it soon gonna silence her so that she doesn't sing anymore he's gonna be out there you go okay again mirror match is kinda tricky depends on how it goes or which it's usually more on tempo which would it favor you or it favor me oh sorry, would it favor the enemy or it will favor you but more or less the timing is really important in terms of removing barriers once you remove the barriers of the enemy team I'm sure it would be smooth sailing you could bombard them with AOE attacks and also take them out piece by piece okay guys so again for those far in this

Because loyalty cannot, by definition, be demanded. Loyalty can only be volunteered. Loyalty is given. It is there when people feel loved, and served, and appreciated, and respected, and honoured, and seen, and valued, then we have to talk about loyalty.  They're going to do a teaching, or a series, or a conversation, or a staff training, on loyalty. Well the moment you announce the subject, we're all a bit nervous, because if it is loaded with your agenda, and your agenda is loyalty, but your issue is insecurity and control. Let us be loyal because we want to be loyal. Let us be loyal because we feel that way towards you, and loyalty then is organic, it's natural, it's voluntary, and it comes from the strength of a relationship that makes us want to feel that way towards you.

It's so much fun and you were on previously. So really glad to have you back again when we can have a guest come back have another appearance. It's really good to dive deeper with them and today's conversation we are doing just that so the demographic drought. We're going to talk about this and you know this show goes by very quickly and so we're merely scratching the surface, but I witnessed to you that this show there's a couple of things that I'm like. So what is that I don't know like so I am here as our viewer and listener right alongside them say, teach me educate me tell me what you're working in. So let's let's dive right in there talk to us about this demographic drought. And again share with us a little bit about the past workforce and again for those of you watching we have on the screen here past workforce boomers retired, they did not replace you. Let's dive deep Len. Let's dive as deep as we can and the time that we have. So a little bit of background first I discovered a report called the demographic drought, not too long ago and it was a 40 page statistical report. I am not a statistics person I'm not a math person I'm not a numbers person, and yet I read this report through and was all 40 pages and was trans. I was like, Wow, this is really important information that a lot of people need to know whether they're in business, or just for their personal lives and I was just really struck by the challenge of it, and the optimism of it to that I could see in it. So, I want to dive a little bit as much as we can into three main points that this report stood out to me for. And first is that, well, we know we're talking about the great resignation right and okay everybody's resigning from their jobs all that's happening and there seems to be an underlying assumption that, you know what, at some point, the great resignation is going to be over and we'll be back to somewhat what we call normal will be doing hybrid stuff and all that still but you know it'll, it will write itself. And when I read this report I realized, ooh, I don't think so. And the subtitle of this report is called the coming sands Demek sands the word s and s, meaning without lack of, meaning people without people. And then this report proceeded to go into all of the statistical facts, and the things that are happening globally that are causing this coming sands Demek and I was like, wow, this goes way beyond the great resignation. So let's start with, and this has been happening way before the pandemic. And as with everything else, the pandemic accelerated it so let's take a look at the past first the past workforce will call it, although it's not entirely past. The boomers. The boomers were this huge as you know this huge population that came about and were a huge influence on our current workforce. And at the time that they were in charge we'll call it they created the way things should be in the work world right.  And as we know that has all changed dramatically. And what happened with the boomers is that they are now retiring in record numbers. Of course, they're at that age right, and what happened was normally 2 million boomers retire per year. In 2020, with the pandemic that soared to 3 million. So that means that there is a whole lot of knowledge and expertise and experience that is leaving in mass right and companies are being left with, wait a minute. All this knowledge left and now what. So let me just clarify this is a national report correct or is this international. This is an international report. 3 million international boomers. I'm sorry, for this statistic, the, the statistic is us. Okay, so this is international. Wow. Yeah.  But you've already these are sobering statistics that I'm like, they are. They are sobering and get ready for more. So, okay, the boomers retired are retiring and in that process and that was speeded up by the pandemic. Yeah. So, also, another thing the boomers did was they did not replace themselves. What I mean by that is on average, the parents of the boomers, which were the greatest generation right on average had four children per family. The boomers on average had less than two, they have 1.8 children per couple. So they didn't replace themselves. Okay, so there's fewer people to replace those massive boomers who are retiring. Okay, so that, yeah, is amazing and and I think of my own life right and we were sharing about this earlier. I'm a one kid. I'm a one in dinner. I was like, Oh, guilty. Yeah, yeah, I'm adding to that statistic as we get to my age so yeah, one in dinner here so sorry but anyway. So, then in 2016, some of you may be aware of the some not but in 2016, which was not that long ago, the millennials the generation behind the boomers actually became the largest generation in the workforce. So the workforce is no longer predominantly the boomers, which it was for so long it is now predominantly the millennials who have a much different have a much different as our outlook on work, as we all know, right. And then in addition to that, the boomers were very, very wealthy. They are retiring with lots of money, and they are leaving lots of money to their children. So boomer children the children of boomers are set to inherit about 68 trillion with the T dollars by 2030. So they are going to be the wealthiest generation in history. So just make sure that I'm right in this land as the silver tsunami, right and so really looking at the boomers. You know, all of their their money the inheritance is them being passed on in large force to their inheritance and this is really this huge transference of wealth. And which is exciting. And a little scary. It is a little scary because not only are they transferring a huge amount of wealth they're transferring transferring it to fewer people because they had fewer children. Right. So in fact, there's even more each child gets even more of that pie, if you will, and what does that do to they saw what their parents went through their companies were not necessarily loyal to them they're generating they're inheriting all this wealth. They are much less motivated to work. Right. So you're of them they're less motivated to work and they're radically different in their perspective of what work is all about. So that's, that's, that's what we'll call the past. Okay, that is fascinating and I, I probably skipped ahead but you know looking at our present so the millennials are still present they're still part of our workforce. They're starting to inherit some of this, some of this wealth. And they're also looking at with the great resignation the great reshuffle however we want to talk about this really looking at what's important to them. And I'm curious Lynn if you can share with us, what is important to our present workforce you shared you know this phenomenal fascinating report it's very eye opening and jaw dropping. What is our present workforce, what is our audience our workforce wanting meeting and how are they engaging what's important to them. So what's important is meaning a purpose in their work and flexibility. And when you think about the, the culture of the boomers and what they put in that was not there at all it was work hard for work hard sake, and be loyal for loyalty sake, and make a lot of money. And that's not necessarily what the millennials and the generation that follows it are is important to them. They, you know, for the large part they don't have to worry about money. They're looking for meaning and purpose in their work as well as flexibility whether that's you know hybrid working from home working in the office or totally high or totally remote work, or flexible hours and support from their, from their employers for their life, in addition to their work life, not just their work life. Yeah, I'm not a millennial but I'm right on the cusp right and so really looking at what is important to me. And when I hear the word success for me that definition has changed over my years, or, and you know, looking at not only my income, but my quality of life, my, my present time my current engagement with my family. So important to me and I have said these words out of my mouth when you couldn't pay me a million dollars to take that contract. Now when it comes down to it. I really don't know if someone wanted to give me a million dollars if I truly would take that contract, but I have found this balance and it waxes and wanes you know but really determining what is important.  I want the freedom to do what I want when I want the flexibility to have that option, right, and, you know, to travel travel is a really big thing for me so as a present worker, you know, being part of that that's important to me. Are you seeing that also you know when we look at assessing and maybe reassessing during this time what our present workforce is is looking for and are they negotiating re negotiating. Yes, so employers are having to whether they want to or not some of them are doing it kicking and screaming and some of them are doing it. Gladly and happily is evaluating how they hire, who they hire, and what kind of benefits and flexibility and purpose that they give to those that they provide for those employees and valuing them so much more so much more than in the past. Now if we want to talk about, there's also something going on now that I think is pretty astounding, and that is that presently women in from February 2020 to February 2021 2.4 million women left the workforce. Now of course this was impacted by the pandemic doubtless right who has primary caregiving responsibility for children, the women and the children were at home having to do homeschooling so with that fault fell on the women to do that. In addition, a lot of predominantly female employee employment areas like hospitality and service oriented are women primarily. So, nonprofit sector, I mean I would love to know there has to be, you know, a gender study out there but most of the nonprofits that I've worked with Lynn across the nation are predominantly women. And, you know, for me as a working mom, I'm so very grateful that my son's dad also, you know was very present during the pandemic, and we're still in it right like I don't want to dismiss it I know we're still having that impact. I do know that a lot of my friends, you know, and they left the workforce as that primary caregiver became the homeschool kind of you know person. And I'm just so grateful that I was able to find a way through it it wasn't easy. It definitely wasn't easy, but that number that you just shared and that was a year so February 2020 February 21. It was a huge sands, if you will, it's a big change. Yes, yes. And then there was something else going on with the males in the workforce that actually started way back in 1980, which I found fascinating and also sobering. So sobering this morning but the, the report actually says where have all the men gone because the prime age male workforce fell 94% from 1980 to 2019 and that's over 3 million missing male workers from the workforce. So that was starting way back in 1980. And where are they. So, tell you where they are. We're, we're have the men gone. So in 2014 for the first time since 1880 1880 more men 25 to 34 years old we're living with their parents than they were with his spouse. So they're not getting married, and then also 13% of millennials didn't get their millennial men didn't get their first job until the age of 20 plus. And they are willingly opting out and doing part time work rather than full time work and they're also, they're also being very much wooed away by video games, surprising and opioids the opioid endemic had a really negative impact on male participation in the workforce. Wow. And that's, that makes me sad, both of those, those facts, and, and so we're losing the men also, and that together just creates. Yeah, challenges. What about the gig economy, has that taken an impact is when I heard you say, you know the men specifically in the part time roles. I think of a gig economy, I think of you know, we can start looking at shifting our schedule becoming our own boss choosing when we work where we work how we work. And I'm curious maybe the study mentioned this but if you can just speak to it a bit, you know, that gig economy, because I've also heard Lynn that it's normal now to have a gap in your resume that includes a lift or Uber or some other kind of gig economy job. Right, that is perfectly normal it's no longer frowned upon right that's trying to get hired in your resume has that kind of gap. So I would get this report does not specifically mention the gig economy, but to me it's only natural to assume that that part time work includes the gig economy of all types, whether that's you know part time consulting or doing zoom or Uber or lift on the side. And that, you know, and, and if you think about the mindset of this generation, you know, it's not imperative that they have to support a family because they're not getting married they're not having kids, and they're living at home and they've got all this wealth that they're set to inherit so there's not much of a motivation to get out and really be, you know, proactive in a quote standard career. Yeah, that is fascinating so I don't mean to drop the ball on you here but what is our current unemployment rate and I don't know if you know this nationally but you know as I think about this, this workforce that is not present. I mean they exist, but they're not present they're not working they're not choosing to work this full time capacity. So what are we doing with the unemployment rate versus the individuals that are just simply not motivated to to be in this full time, you know work environment. And you know I don't, I don't want to say a number because I can't recall the latest one that I read but that's a very good question, yes. And so, I mean we know the unemployment rate is relatively high because we're all talking about the great resignation and where are all the people.  Yeah, absolutely and you know the unemployment rate changes so so very much. So we've talked about the past, we've talked about the present. Now, the future workforce life below 2.1 globally. What, what is this that mean. Yes, when we think about the future. Remember I said in the beginning that there's kind of this underlying assumption that oh we're in this period of the great resignation but we're going to come out of it will be okay afterwards right. That may not necessarily we're going to have to readjust how we think about everything because this is going to affect not only employers but how to get when we get services from businesses as as consumers when we go to the hospital and we wanted to treat a doctor or nurse so it's going to affect the entire world. So when I say 2.1 2.1 is the rate at which every woman needs to have a child 2.1 children in order to keep the population steady, not to grow the population. It goes into account, you know, childhood death and so forth. So 2.1 is the rate at which women need to have children globally in order to keep the population steady. And we are, as I mentioned the what were the 1.8 is what the boomers did. They think okay well you know what there's lots of other countries that want people from other countries that want to come to the US so let's just get people there to come here and then we'll be fine. Okay. Yeah, I'm thinking of other solutions to because, again, I'm staying a one in Dunnerland. So, when we look at the like immigration and other countries that might want to emigrate here, Mexico, in particular their fertility rate has been falling for 50 years, their replacement rate is now at 2.12. So that's barely above. Yeah. Yes. Japan, Spain, Italy, Central and Eastern Europe have already stopped growing so they're below 2.1. When we look at the employment status in other countries, Mexico has been struggling with talent shortages since 2018. Around percent of companies in India have talent shortages and China is struggling to fill jobs, especially with skilled workers. So, some of the places that we might look to to replace our declining population are also in decline. In fact, I have a colleague who does business primarily in Japan. She's about 10 to 15 years ahead of us in terms of their population growth. So they, and their population growth is declining. And she tells me when she's over there, all she sees is old people, old people everywhere. And there are only about 10 to 15 years ahead of us. So, it's a sobering statistic, and it's a sobering report. And also, I found hope in the ending of this report because they talked about the fact that the bottom line is value people more. And that really spoke to my heart because, gosh, have we been taking people for granted all these years, it's time to value them more and value your employees more value every child born more value every student in colleges, more because we need people in order to sustain our level of living and in order to sustain ourselves as healthy populations. So, that was that was my hope at the end of this. I had to take a deep breath because when you said value people more that is such a simplistic humane statement, right. It's really important and I'm thinking, and thank you honestly because that's that's what I needed to hear hopefully what many of our viewers and listeners needed to hear. We've been talking a lot about how do we retain our workforce. How do we, you know, have stay interviews instead of exit interviews how do we pay in a competitive, you know, comp compensated way. My first thought honestly was, maybe we look at our child labor laws and say, how soon is too soon to work. But that's clearly not the answer. The answer is to value people more. And looking at, you know, are we providing that balance of purpose and passion and personality and really looking at the, the whole person. I'm curious and we don't have too much time here just about five minutes. Where does artificial intelligence and because honestly when I when I see this the slide and for those of you listening. It really looks like a robot hand, and I'm thinking, okay now we're moving into this 2.1 global being, you know, kind of the robot era, we have self driving cars at the local university here we have food being delivered by little robots. The drinks at fast food stations are now poured solely by, you know, a computer, not a hand anymore. So where does that fit into the into the mix. You know that's a fascinating question because I think a lot of thoughts will automatically, well you know what we have so much technology, let you know for a large part of this let's just implement AI of some sort, so that we can overcome this lack of people. There's two, two, two issues with that. One, for me and this is my personal opinion, I do not believe that implementing AI is always the best answer, because there is just something about human interaction that is so valuable because we talked about value of people more. That is incredibly valuable so I think AI and technology has a place in solving this problem. The other issue, however, is that when we have a whole lot fewer people and we have a whole lot fewer skilled people, we have fewer technically advanced folks to implement and create and develop this AI to begin with. So, there's a, you know, there's two sides to this we want to value people more, and we want to use AI as much as we can but we have less people to develop that AI and that technology so isn't that fascinating that that yes AI is part of the answer, but I am so much inspired by the value people more aspect than by oh let's just implement technology to solve all our problems because it's not going to solve all our problems. It's, it's not and for me I think of AI is more how might we reconsider or consider our processes right like where might we find efficiencies, and there still needs to be that human connection, especially as a professional listener, you know, we really need to have that. So when fascinating information, phenomenal conversation you have left me with so very much to think about and I know our viewers and listeners the same. I'm the CEO and President Ruby marketing agency. Now you're being very generous you are sharing your email here Lynn LYNN at Lynn Ruby calm. You are sharing this with us is that right the research that you just shared. Yes, so if anyone would like to email me and just say I'd like a copy of that demographic drought report. I had to send it to you along with a one sheet or that we have developed of ways to address the same becoming sans demic from our perspective. And that is always, I think the bottom line is value people more whatever form that takes it might take the form of AI it might take the form of different customer service might take the form of flexibility and hybrid and all of that. Who knows what all it's going to take, but the bottom line is value people more. The sans demic was a word so I just have to share before we sign off here one of our viewers said this is beyond fascinating beyond at all caps.
