you know it feels good being able to click clap for sure just bring a different type of energy to practice so yeah it feels real good you know seeing obviously you've been asked about Jake running Kyle Pitts but those guys they're playing at a pretty high level early on how impressed have you been with their play? It's been good you know just challenging both of them in practice just the defense giving them a good look and them giving us a good look you know just building chemistry and just competing you know Casey has a little incentive for the first interception of the day you've been able to... First what? First interception of the day I want to wear it Yeah I want to wear it and I ain't know about that one But how do you feel about the level of communication for the defense so far in camp? You know it's something that is so vital to the success of the defense it's good right now being in coach piece you know second year with the defense we're just gaining more chemistry like I said and everybody just communicate and make sure we play fast so it's going good right now What do you look for from yourself I tell you? Just holding myself accountable every day I come in and just doing what I do you know just competing having fun with the game and just having no better respect for the guys you know just just leading It hasn't been easy though hasn't it? Over the course of it I mean I'm just doing my part so yeah I mean all the puzzles are falling in piece in place I saw you around Drake one in a life we're on a couple periods but there's a specific reason for that Say it again Drake one didn't know about doing a couple periods You saying what we was competing Yeah Or just around What you mean Yeah What do you mean though It's practice What do we do Yeah Now it's just Yeah What's the specific reason why you lined up against him Just how the defense go We weren't doing no following or anything like that It was just We just came on the same side and just did reps together But then being his first champ How you kind of seen him grow especially now with the passes Yeah you know just Him trying to figure his way around you know saying you know rookie stuff But he's getting better each you know each day and each week Me giving him a good look And competing make sure he earned everything And he's been doing a good job you know Earning the ball and running the good routes to get open And just make a place Swag in this DB group Forming in the chemistry Even just that person accepted It feels like it's a good one Yeah we having some swag for real You know just gotta I tell him you know to tap in every day Have fun with it you know just bring energy And make the defense Make the offense feel us And just hold our own Like just be passionate and have fun with it Not yet You know fly zone pretty common So not yet You know we built an identity so it all worked out in a minute Real big I realize that you know I put all that into But that's the bigger picture you know They bring us in to be able to step up And lead the team And lead the defense And you know all our roles It's coming hand to hand now Now that we all out there You know just making sure we earn it You know just have fun with it And how beneficial is it to play Quarterbacks in practice like Marcus And Desmond who got that running ability Given the way the league has gone with mobile quarter How much does that prepare you for Sunday When you see some of these guys You can talk to them Yeah it prepares us a lot You know just Marcus being able to keep the play alive And us having to have sticky coverage in the back end You know and in camp You know we getting the best of it right now They hold the whistle sometimes So you just got to stick with your guy Same thing you just said Not getting too big up in the hay game You know just staying down Didn't have a ton of vision Just doing what I got to do I mean first up How do you think training camp has gone so far I mean it's fun man It's hard Yeah man It's way harder than last year I can honestly say that's a lot more competition A lot more people breaking more edge This year man That's a different field man Different players out here You know we're more athletic More bigger I mean it's different man This year it's 100% different What's the biggest difference you've seen Or you've noticed so far I mean just the way that we're competing against each other Everyday we're coming out here We're trying to work We're trying to get better And really just trying to put our best foot forward You know what I mean Everyday man it's a competition man It's like everyday we're smashing and smashing Just keep coming out You know what I mean It's good Who's been the biggest competitor You've seen so far You think that's really just stood out to you I mean of course To me I'm going to say Kyle Kyle man he's turned himself around man A lot of people are going to be surprised about That guy this year I'm looking forward to him Me too He just It looks like almost like he's a man He's unstoppable Yeah man he's bigger now man He's look prettier Like man That's one of them And one of the things too You can tell it's just like more of a Like a calmer presence Like a confidence He's not learning It doesn't feel like he has to prove himself He has that Have you taken it You feel like that next step too Like just feel a little more confident around here Now you know Second third year Yes of course I mean You know playing the ball in the D&P's again I mean just knowing my job And what to do Having a year up under the system Knowing what he wants from me And what to do And what I'm doing on my job I mean that's perfect man That's the perfect situation Perfect setup Perfect everything And are you ready to kind of take that next step How have you been feeling In terms of this off season What was that like for you And getting ready for this season Yes of course I'm ready to take that step man I'm ready to be a ball player I'm ready to show people that I can play ball I'm ready to turn it on I'm ready And what was this off season I know you were dealing with injuries last year And everything like that So how was this off season Kind of just getting healthy Getting everything right It was pretty fun man Just knowing that I was a lot more chill A lot more muscle A lot more curls and stuff like that You know I mean it wasn't too much crazy stuff But you're more so getting my legs back up under me Making sure that my joints and everything are good You know I mean I'm just trying to make sure I'm fine So when I came here I was trying to turn it on I remember last year you told us that You're off time for fun You like to build ATVs and stuff like that Any time for that this off season Yeah of course I mean I was out here doing my can-am You know I had a can-am Side by side type of thing You know I'm an all-world guy I'm that type Still you're still not writing them yet Nah not yet Nah not yet Nah not yet But what's the I don't know what's the coolest thing You're able to build this year The coolest thing I able to build this year Was my dog friends man I built my dog friends Like a pretty good y'all Pretty good y'all I ain't gonna say all of that But a pretty good y'all I got a big fan What dog do you have? I got two pit bulls Oh nice What is your name? Stormy and Reese Oh stormy's a good name Stormy and Reese Stormy and Reese Yeah they're my children You got anything else? No I was just going to tell you I watched the 200th episode of Criminal Minds the other day It's the one that JJ gets kidnapped And I was thinking about it the whole time I was like I'm pretty sure I had a conversation with her a lot about it Big part of this defense Man really important As we grow in this defense Year by year we learn more And everything that we learn We gotta implement that on the field So it's a big deal The older we get the more A leadership role has to come upon Younger classes come You gotta take the money away Still learn from the older guys You have a role You gotta go ahead and play that role To the fullest of your ability So really important I'm just glad that we are You know what I'm saying Better one day at a time than anybody I know last time we spoke You mentioned the importance Of Ron Harmon and Eric Harris Last year helping you grow Their leadership Now Eric How has he helped you For what looks like a starting role This season His experience Continuing to support you Especially the former Eric is my dog Really helped a lot Pay attention to everybody When I'm not going to study Everybody I take notes first See what they're doing See what they're doing If they did it better If they did it better Then I could help my You know what I'm saying Technique and stuff like that We still talk You know what I'm saying Obviously we don't stand here Going to the other side of school Late night hanging out Talking about life and stuff Which is helping us create A better bond So it's pretty dope that Coach did that for us This year in camp And we're talking about Different stuff Situational football Life Everything You got a lot of wisdom He's about 6 years older You know what I'm saying I'm young still I'm still learning You know what I'm saying Like that I'm saying he got a lot of years on me He knows a lot of stuff I know He lived life longer So I just Listen Always be a student To everybody Not just the coaches My last one Your interception First one of the day A, how did that feel To start the day off And talk to Casey afterwards Is there You know It's always a turn to get the ball I'll be trying to get the ball You know what I'm saying As much as possible I mean I started growing out there A lot of guys on the team Stripping stuff You know what I'm saying Ripping the ball Getting out to the ball So it's always good to get the ball Do you get anything from the guy Like do they celebrate Do you get like a special gift Could you get an interception Or is it like just a It's practice So it's like You know Practice that right now So we can implement that in the game Where it really means something So it gives off It's another possession You know what I'm saying To go out there and score So you know You do it out here You practice it out here You know And stuff comes out to game You know it's practice But you know you gotta Like coach said You gotta do things the next day Have a good day You gotta do things the next day You gotta follow up So it was cool It was good But you know What do you feel like The identity is Like the DBs Or even just this defense I mean we're talking about Dean P. So you just talk about How like this You guys are ignoring the noise You don't want to Like you are better than What people are saying What do you feel Yeah I feel like We just not worry about Like you said the noise Caught the noise poison We're just more So focused on What's going on in here Factual stuff You know Just practice You know From what coach art You know what I'm saying Preaching that stuff is important To focus on it ourselves As we hone in and practice As we hone in in the Norms and the meetings And everything like that That's what's really important You know because A lot of people don't really Know what's going on And that's what I mean We know what's going on So you know we know Mistakes more than You know saying somebody Who's watching practice On the outside Who doesn't know The defense are called You know what I'm saying I'm like Everything is in house And I feel like we're doing A real good job We're earning it We're working hard As a community Everybody's picking each other up Competitive That's the competition That we're growing up That's the increment of that So that's what it does Yeah it's always interesting When I talk to the people That's my dog E-Money So good I thought it was really Interesting to talk to you With Marlon because you said The competition And the culture It just feels different In my shoes Like you didn't see that last year These guys are competing Even more this year Yeah it's one of that Like you know That dog mentality That mindset Just go out there And just go You know I feel like that's really It's important You play like that as a unit You know what I'm saying Got all the dogs in the unit Everybody just goes Everybody goes I want to be And does their job Does that win 11 And goes as hard as they can You know good things happen So I feel like That's the main thing I feel like the culture's Talking to people Also make us Tough and smart You know Implement a lot of situations Situation of football From special teams To offense, defense Whatever You know that That stuff is important So you've got to be tough Mentally as well Personal goals Like what are you Like what's your success With training camp And what do you hope That carries into the system Successful training camp Is just winning the day Getting better every day That's all But I mean The only skewer I'll just win the day Get better every day Unless I'm new every day Either it's from my game play Or one of my teammates That's the one son That is like I can fix that too But if I mess up today Like yeah I got picked today But there's a couple things I could have worked on today I could have been better Than my technique Stuff like that is important You know like It's a constant state of I think people don't even see that Like football Like for me to win Because it's just The game evolves You gotta evolve Continuously So there's no cap You know what I'm saying That's a great mindset to have Because if you stop learning You stop growing You don't want to be like that No And the last one for me Are you For the first places in the game To go up against other guys And compete I'm turning I'm happy It's going to be a turn You know what I'm saying Go out there and ball out man The game is just tight I like going up there My dogs Go out there as a unit We can finally You know what I'm saying Get on some other people You know what I'm saying Not just in practice They go hit somebody else You know what I'm saying Go cover somebody else Stuff like that That's dope man It's like It's one of the most Various adrenaline rushes Ever in life Like That I've ever experienced Was like Going to take games That feeling Walking over top rows Don't even have no business While I'm still playing So that's dope And excited to see Not just me But everybody else Go out there and get their Raps And show what they can do What did you learn today Man you need to talk a little bit About that What you feel like you learned today I learned some technique I learned some technique On the goal line That I could have used To stop a certain route A couple of communications My split Where I'm aligned You know Stuff like that I thought about that Went to the sideline Okay I does one play You know We got matched up on bodies I was supposed to I could have matched up On the body I was supposed to Match up on Stuff like that You know It's like The littlest things Like that It's just very It's just very important I see that And I'm like Okay I gotta hone in on that I gotta know that I gotta know that Whenever in this situation I have to know You know That stuff is important Because you only let You know Like You had to pick as cool But You gotta follow up You know what I'm saying You gotta game to play Like You can make a big play I've been against You gotta play You make a big play And it's like Okay You can't hang out You gotta go out there Because you can't go out there And just get scored on A couple of times You know what I'm saying Stuff like that Like it's very important So that's why Coach does the Call of Pets We just out there Playing Playing long drives That stuff is important Is that just force of habit? Force of habit Force of habit though I mean like I don't want to just get the Pig Catch it And then just stand there And turn up Like We gotta act like this a game Like so If you know if I get tired I'm gonna catch the ball Get up And always try to score Because I can change the game Stuff like that helps Stuff like that is important Do you ever talk about The 1-11 And you know The importance of those details How do you feel the communication Is for this defense At this point That's been a lot Really good I feel like We've all kind of We're still Of course we're still going But like We're all I feel like 11 and a Like We're all gaining chemistry You know I feel like I think And I feel like There's a lot of communication And there's a lot of things You know Knowledge It's like You're in a system That we know That we can implement Out there on the field You know I'm saying Stuff like that That we see People just check this Stuff like that Is there someone You think authentically That's kind of having A low-key really good Camp on offense That we maybe aren't really Paying attention to That we should be From your perspective I don't think this is bombing I'm a defensive You know what I'm saying I'm focusing on myself But like Who are going to say Everybody's been bombing Depends on bombing Cows been bombing Other cities have been Bombing Burry, Drake Bomb is bombing Market's been bombing Market's fast Market's been doing this They're like You know Really, man Bomb Like You know what I'm saying Everybody's doing this So it's kind of You know Like that Everybody's bombing Do you mention Felipe first? Like, yeah Are you? There's no casting No, no, no, no But in all seriousness I mean Uh, Felipe after me, man Felipe in my set, man Uh Good character, man Really a hard worker Uh Felipe had changed my uncle And I was like For a quarter of an hour So I kind of like Knew him a little bit Before coming In here And uh Yeah, man He's just a good person He grows up there He's just competing You know, like In competition stuff He's taking it serious And doing his thing Well, I guess more You know, you can talk About mindset And what you want But like It's still physical It's physical transition In so many ways He doesn't run around Hell and you know Yeah, that's true But I mean He got attributes Yeah, so you know We'll go coaching With the coaches we got And he honing in Into the coaching He implemented Around our field You know That's the thing So like So in order to do that You gotta be stronger Humanity Cause I mean I'm not gonna tell you How your body will move So Right, I'm listening to Coaches I hear telling them You know To do and stuff like that Being coached And you're not implementing In implementing That's, you know The biggest thing What's it like That's the safety He's got like Like six inches on you Like seven inches on you That's not a knock Literally He's got that on everybody You know He's tall I mean You know Like he's tall I'm ready But stuff like that That's the solidest thing What does your mindset come from Cause you have kind of This like I'm gonna keep drawing I'm gonna keep Like Did anyone teach you That along the way Like where that comes from I came from this I was like You worship and God First and foremost Stuff like that That's the worship and God And then And then I also came from just my I mean You know Always just having to die And earn What? Where I've gone to Earn And do good Earn You know Surned scholarships Earn Always had to earn my way To get to stuff So that's why Like my mindset is the way It is And I'm here to You know what I'm saying Just stay down here So that's just kind of What I'm saying You mentioned Marx's speed How beneficial is that To you guys as a secondary To not only practice Sticking with the receivers When the plate breaks down But also then Switching gears and going To tackle the ball carrier When he talks in the runs You know what I'm saying You gotta really be aware of that Even though he got the red on So we can't hear him He got the red on But like You know We'll be in coverage We'll be in coverage You and I down the field And all of a sudden You see just like Red things It was red Just take off Flash You know what I'm saying Render too You step in too Render fast too So take off And stuff like that That was a lot of transition Yeah Because It happened in the game Do you guys have a specific call In the secondary For when somebody notices That the quarterback Is broken in Or is it You just gotta play You gotta play again As I've been like an emphasis For you I mean I know it's still Training camp So it's early in the season And everything But last year I was I feel like A really important Like containing the Quarterbacks Like a run Get out of the pocket Like Jalen Hurts Josh Allen Those guys There's Some guys that can get out Of the pocket and run Yeah for sure So it was good for us To practice that You know stuff like that Week to week Every week is a different matchup So we'll be there For that Week to week You know what I'm saying So we'll take the All the kind of time We play this team this week We're about with this team We gotta worry about them Play the lines next week We're about the lines So if we Take that approach We'll start You said something about Having a dog mentality That DJs has Where do you credit that You feel like We didn't sense that Do you credit the guys That are here Or is that something that The coach said Credits are just for one You know what I'm saying Coaches We gotta do the coaches You know We gotta really do the Coaches You know D-Court D-B-Court D-Line Coach Hardin And then credit to The front Start up front You know what I'm saying We're grading All the In our D-B-Court And then our linebackers You know what I'm saying We gotta Keep our motors running Because We gotta turn ourselves When we out there You know what I'm saying The coaches Coaches You know what I'm saying That's not the job They turn us in And he's for us to turn them And That's just the That's just the Worse You know what I'm saying While we out there We gotta play like that And that That just doesn't like We just play good But it just helps us Play together and have fun You know what I'm saying And when we're doing our Responsibility We're turning it through We're having fun Playing hard But You know what I'm saying We're doing our Plan loose And swag That Has you see big plays Turnover Stuff like that Everybody's just Doing their sine Communicating You know I got to You got my back That's the important That's it Together Back then Two One Two Three Four Five Four Five Four Five Five Five Five


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Covering Discover 2016 Las Vegas. Brought to you by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Now, here are your hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are live in Las Vegas for HPE Discover 2016. HPE for Enterprise, I'm John Furrier with Silicon Angle. With Dave, my co-host Dave Vellante, this is theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events and expect the signal of noise. Our next guest is Michael Tenefoss, who's the Vice President of Strategic Partnerships with Aruba, an HPE company. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you very much for having me. So, talk about the HPE part. Aruba is obviously in the center of the proposition of wireless, but also now networking. What is your job at HPE Aruba? HPE Aruba. So, my responsibility is for strategic partnerships. Aruba provides solutions to customers, but typically they require additional technology and solutions to be combined together. So, for example, we partner with Microsoft on Skype for Business in Office 365 because a corporate customer wants their connectivity and they also want unified communication at the same time, same thing with partners like Palo Alto Networks. So, we have an ecosystem of about 180 technology companies that spans everything from explosion-proof access points all the way to cloud-based applications. So, heavily pardoned, I want to ask that question, I want to get on the table because you guys aren't just HP and wireless piece we talked about last time and real crown jewel for HP in terms of technology, but the wireless for IoT and overall backhaul is a great opportunity. So, how does it fit into the customer's environment? Because, again, you've got to work with multiple technology partners. There's also security. And now you've got IoT. So, the Aruba portfolio is very broad. So, it includes high-security wireless and wired infrastructure. It includes high-security remote access solutions, VPNs, includes network access control in our ClearPass product line and we just announced our new IoT device profiler for automatically fingerprinting new IoT devices before they connect to the network and ensuring that they're trustful before they're allowed to connect. It includes our Meridian location-based services, which is being used here at the show. It provides wayfinding, geofencing, and push messaging. And it also includes our AirWave product offering, which is a multi-vendor network management solution. So, we really cover the gamut of secure connectivity management and monitoring. And when you go into an IoT solution, you really don't know what you're going to find in terms of secure connectivity requirements. So, Aruba is obviously a key underpinning of HPE's IoT strategy it's offering. Can you take us through the high level and then where does Aruba fit in? Sure. So, at the high level, there are really three elements to Internet of Things. It's not really about the devices per se. It's about converting data that devices are generating into action. It's about unlocking those data from silos inside of an organization and providing life cycle management of those. And then it's about mining insights from those data. So, if you look at the broad portfolio of HPE product offerings, Aruba plays in the secure connectivity element. We also generate contextual information about users, location, devices, applications that they're running. And we can then pass that off to other groups like IDOL, Vertica. We can work in collaboration with the server team on the edge line products. So, for example, an offshore oil platform might have 5,000 or 10,000 sensors. They want to do pre-processing and derive insights locally because they can get that information faster. So, we'll work with the edge line team. They'll run, for example, maybe GE predicts or Vertica inside of a server on that oil platform, and then they'll use the Aruba VPN technology, which is called VIA, to securely send that information back to the data center. We also work with the universal IoT platform, which is part of the CMS group, which is providing remote management and monitoring. So, across servers, storage, networking, which is the group that I'm in, the big data group and the data security group with products like ArcSight, together we can put together a complete solution. Then there's also TSC, which is the consulting group, which can help customers figure out how to put all of these systems together to solve a business problem. So, if I were to ask you, sort of what's the difference between, you know, we do a lot of big data shows, right?  The answer would be, it's that end-to-end solution, maybe not withstanding some of the stuff that you did with GE, which provides the industrial equipment, but other than that, it's that end-to-end solution. Is that fair to say that you as Aruba alone would not have been able to position yourselves in this manner? Sure, that's part of the solution. So, HP Enterprise has big data solutions, but it's really a matter of how you apply them that really differentiates a generic solution from something that solves a specific business problem. So, we're able to tailor solutions. So, if you have a wind farm, for example, we have solutions that can be applied all the way from the data collection, processing, transporting it to the consumption of the data, and deriving insights using our Vertica platform, for example, or using our CMS platform. So, John and I talk a lot about, John, you always talk about eliminating the truck roll. So, when you think about IoT, everybody wants to instrument the windmill or the factory or whatever it is, but the key barrier there is connectivity. So, can you talk about what customers are doing in their businesses? I mean, what is an IoT business? What is an IoT opportunity? How are companies looking at that, and is it correct premise that it starts with the connectivity if, in fact, that's what you want to do? So, there are really four elements to the IoT value chain. It's visibility, security, profitability, and productivity. And these areas can be addressed with four questions. Am I fully connected? Am I fully protected? Am I fully innovating? And am I fully extracting knowledge from my business? When you ask a customer those questions, it starts unlocking the different elements of what's required for their particular IoT solution. So, for example, am I fully connected, asked or begs the question, am I reaching all of the devices from which I need to extract information to solve my business problem? The business problem might be I need to increase customer loyalty. I might need to increase basket size if I'm a retailer. I might need to improve the patient experience if I'm a hospital. So, in order to do that, what information do I need? Well, I might need to extract operational information from my MRI machine to predict downtime, for example, so I can get more patience through without doing a truck roll or taking a system out of operation. So, the answers and the kind of connectivity and security and data mining is going to vary. You need power as well, connected, assuming power. Consuming power, yes. So, on the IoT data piece, one of the things that people get really scared about, certainly with wireless, is the man in the middle attack because you got packets flying around. Talk about the secure piece, because that's really the big opportunity for people to come in, a new surface area to come in on attack. So, how about how you guys protect that? We can look at security from an outside in or an inside out. So, from the Aruba perspective, we cut our teeth on the security of our infrastructure. We go all the way up to classified, top secret over wireless. We support elliptic curve encryption, it's called sweet bee technology. So, in the Aruba infrastructure, we can encrypt at the source and we don't decrypt anywhere in the infrastructure only when it's delivered to the end application. So, it's very difficult to have a man in the middle attack or to even have visibility into the data. But there are also ways of inserting malware, for example, inside servers that could make them vulnerable. So, HPE, I think is unique in the industry in having trusted platform modules, TPMs built into the servers that are able to verify the authenticity of the BIOS itself, which then authenticates the operating system. So, you can protect against an attack from the inside out or using the Aruba infrastructure from the outside in. So, Mike, I want to get your thoughts on this IoT because everyone thinks, you know, GEO equipment, planes, turbines and windmills. IoT can be people too. It's also devices anywhere. So, it really is about the data and how businesses can leverage that new data. And that's clearly in the messaging that you guys are putting out there. Obviously, the data is the key. How do companies going to use that data? How do you guys envision the edge line working with the notion of the business shifting itself? I mean, most people aren't even really capable of handling the full instrumentation of their business. So, okay, I buy that. People are going to instrument their business. Now, what do they do with it? What's your thoughts on that concept? So, I think the IoT is very confusing to customers because they think that they should be connecting everything and somehow doing something magical with it. The right place to start in terms of examining IoT is with the business problem that you're trying to solve. And let me take a specific example. The Super Bowl was held at Levi's Stadium, which is a tour de force of technology. When the 49ers were contemplating building the stadium, their competition wasn't another sports team. It was Dolby 7.1 and the couch at home, right? So, I need to draw people into the stadium to have them watch the 49ers. So, I need an engaging experience. Well, they leveraged IoT and location-based services to do that. So, Meridian, for example, our Meridian location services will guide people to their seats. We'll tell them the waiting lines for bathrooms and for restaurants. It will also allow people through an application called Venue Next, which is a startup that the 49ers started. Yeah, John Paul, so you have a good friend of mine. Yeah, so you can order food from the seat and it'll tell you, it'll tell the vendors where to deliver the information. And Meridian dies as well to the seat in eight minutes. I bought a hat, eight minutes. Eight minutes, typically eight minutes or less. But there's another element to it. That's amazing. Which is that to enhance that user experience in the stadium, they wanted to deliver NFL feeds directly to the attendees. And that gets into a licensing rights issue. If you're outside the stadium, you're not allowed to get those feeds. So, they used the contextual information that came from the IoT location system to update the licensing system and say, these users have smartphones that are inside the stadium based on the Meridian system. They get real-time feeds. Somebody else outside does not. Does that use real location or they kind of let it spill out into the parking lot? I mean, is it wireless? How do they do that? Because that's the licensing rights, a little nuance, they have to, they can't broadcast the multiple-screen video outside the stadium. Exactly. It's a copyright issue, but so that's the thing. How do they do that? Wireless? Is it defined by the IP addresses of the devices? It's wireless, but it's not using Wi-Fi. It's using Bluetooth low energy, also called BLE or Beacons. So, I think about 1200 Beacons spread around the stadium and those Beacons are broadcasting an ID number which indicates their location. When you download the 49ers app, which I recommend you do because it's a really phenomenal app, it picks up those beacon signals which can be adjusted anywhere from one meter to 30 meters. And that information is used to determine what your location is. So it is wireless, but it's a different technology. So the real-time video feeds are delivered over Wi-Fi or Ruba Wi-Fi and the location information through the Ruba Meridian Beacons. So the 49ers are basically completely transforming the audience experience, giving everybody a TV on their phone as opposed to necessarily building the biggest screen possible, which can be outdated in three or four or five years. Michael, do you see IoT as a disruptive force or is it more evolutionary? In other words, you know, people always talk about waves and we've heard a lot about disruption at this conference. It feels like, just listening to you speak, it's a lot of the infrastructure that's there today that is going to take advantage of this. So it feels like it's less disruptive technology as opposed to an opportunity for enhancing assets that are in place. I'd say it's transformational. So it's taking infrastructure and applying it in a different way. So Wi-Fi can be used to access the internet. Wi-Fi can also be used to triangulate your location and tell a nurse, for example, where you are in the hospital. One's an IoT application, one's an IT application. The transformation occurs in how you leverage the data that are generated, the contextual data, and how you apply it. So the 49ers have applied it for the purpose of entertainment, ease of use of the facility, and as a revenue enhancing mechanism for them, as well as all the backend systems like rights, digital rights. So I think what we're going to see is that IT technology and operational technology in factories are going to combine together and the data that they generate will be mined to transform businesses, to make them operate more efficiently, to give you better customer service or better customer support, or to make sure that your facility is operating all the time, with no downtime whatsoever. And this is where we were talking about Edge Line before. This is where Edge Line and products like Vertica come in because they can consume the data from those machines that are already there and derive insights from them to tell you this machine is about to fail, send a service person ahead of time. Don't worry. Talk about the kinds of problems that you've seen out there that you guys solve. You mentioned sometimes it's about how they look at the problem and then kind of figure out how to use the data. What problems do you have you seen bubble up to the top that could be represented as a pattern or a trend with the data? So it really varies by vertical. It's not that there's one generic problem. So oil and gas industry, for example, is going through a major challenge because of the drop in the price of oil. And for them, understanding how their facilities are being used by contractors and how they're getting billed and reconciling those bills are really, really important. So if they can use IoT to track assets, to track contractors, to understand how they're performing, how long were they on site versus how long did I get billed? That's gonna completely transform the way in which they interact with their contractors and it's gonna generate more profits from them. So each industry has these sweet spots. In healthcare, it's a more engaging experience for patients making sites friendlier and easier to navigate but also to drive up revenue by ensuring that people get to their appointments on time. Every industry has its own unique sweet spot. Michael, thanks for taking the time to join theCUBE this morning. We appreciate it. I want to give you the final word. What's the vibe of the show? What's for the folks watching? Take a minute to talk about what's going on at the show. What's the feeling this year? Obviously, HP Enterprise, kind of has got its groove swing going. You guys are new in there, Aruba. What's going on? Right. So as the newbie here, this is my first discover in the United States. I think the vibe is incredibly upbeat. It's very exciting to see the amount of new technology that is being released by all the different groups within Hewlett Packard Enterprise and for me in particular, the amount of IoT solutions that are coming out from the different groups and the engagement of customers and of our resellers is absolutely electrifying. So I find it a very uplifting experience. All right, Michael, thanks so much. Appreciate it. We are live in Las Vegas for HPE Discover 2016. I'm John Furrier, Dave Vellante. You're watching theCUBE.


So you might be wondering why do guys pull away when the relationship gets serious? Well, let me just be candid with you. This cannot be answered in the first three minutes of this video So stick around give me about ten minutes to get into the complexity of this because this is a very complex conversation that I believe Definitely needs to be discussed So Here's the thing for those of you in midlife and midlife is what I call after baby making years and before retirement Which is my predominant audience? Although I have a lot of 20 and 30 year olds following my work, which this can relate as well But the vast majority of people in midlife are divorced roughly about 75% of Singles who are over 45 years old are in the divorce category. Now. Why is that important to know? And first that's anecdotal. That's not an exact number Because it definitely plays a role in the functionality of a serious relationship, okay Now when we talk about why do men pull away before it gets serious? Well, I think it's important when things get serious, excuse me I think we have to differentiate between before sex and after sex. So let's just be clear about something Men who are only in it for the short run.  I think these are this is really for those Relationships that start off with some level of in, you know, mutual agreement to explore a relationship And as the relationship progresses, that's when they pull away. Okay Now I think what's most important to recognize these days is that most Relationships for those of us in midlife are casual relationships.  It might look like Exclusivity, but it has no direction as to where it's going Esther Perel calls this stable Ambiguity if you haven't read the work of Esther Perel, I highly recommend checking her out She wrote a great book called mating in captivity But one of the things she emphasize or she shares you can go to her blog and read this Stable ambiguity means it's stable. The relationship is stable, but it's ambiguous as to where it's going And that's the predominant relationships of these days I would roughly say that there might be monogamy. There might be exclusivity, but there's no real direction It's oftentimes one of the questions you ladies ask is where's this relationship going? Well, it's unstate It's ambiguous to that and quite frankly ladies. That's on you and not the guy Okay, that's on you and not the guy and we'll get into that in a moment So why does this happen? Why are we in casual relationships? I think it's important to recognize that The need for committed relationships isn't the same Certainly in in history as of today the need for women to be in fully committed relationships And what I let me reframe that the need women do no longer need men for their survival for the most part I'm not saying generally speaking women don't need men for their survival so fully committed relationships isn't the necessity and Because we were talking about divorced in midlife for those in that category the need to actually Choose a wife to be the mother of your children from from the male perspective is no longer in need anymore So the relationship then has to sit us on its merits of is there genuine love between two people? And that's a whole complex conversation in and of itself So the original for for hundreds of thousands of years those biological needs those Instinctual needs have certainly had dramatic shifts in the last 50 years Okay, and for men The need to be in a serious relationship doesn't exist to the same degree as once in the past So I want to just give you a little bit of context so you understand this and and I did a video some some time ago Called is he serious for a relationship ten things? You must know to know if he's he's capable of a serious relationship. So let me pull up my notes from there and I think we all can understand the first three things I'm about to share and that is Instinctually each gender has a biological Instinctual way of approaching the relationship men are hunters and Protectors women are nurturers. Okay, that's the instinctual piece. That's every time you hear that men are provide provider protectors That's an ingrained Instinctual piece now Interestingly enough they never really studied this from the perspective of divorced people are they really provider protectors? After they've had their initial relationship So I'm here to say that, you know, there's really just because that's a narrative you hear over and over again men are provider protectors How does that really relate to those who have gone through divorce? Because I can tell you a lot of men after divorce The last thing they want to be is a provider protector for someone just like the last thing many of you want to be is a nurse or a Purse okay, I hear this all the time Jonathan. I don't want to be his nurse and I don't want to be his purse Okay, well if you don't want to be his nurse, you don't want to be his purse then guess what men don't feel like they want to be provider protectors, okay? That's the instinctual piece. What about the biological piece the pheromones that oxytocin the testosterone the estrogen and That certainly plays a role in relationship Certainly when a man is on the hunt for sex although you are all walking around going men are hunting for Relationship men are hunting for relationship and that's what all you female dating coaches are telling you each other that men are Hunters and they're hunting for a relationship.  This is what I say to them. Oh, I want to vomit because you're making up a story just because a guy or Caveman hunted for buffalo didn't mean they hunted for relationships. In fact quite frankly cavemen Oftentimes took control of women.  That is the furthest thing from the truth.  Okay from the biology perspective to to Ejaculate okay, and by the way, if you haven't looked this up before Post nut clarity.  It's rather fucked up Number four, they're imprinting childhood wounds traumas a love attachment style of mago If you're not familiar with the book attached by a mere Levina Rachel and Rachel Heller or the getting the love You want by Harvelle Hendricks and Helen Hunt? Study these books because often by the way ladies you have male friends of yours and you're thinking Why is he with that woman? Most of the time it's either he's experienced an anxious attachment style or it's something familiar to his childhood Oh, let me reframe that you're asking yourself.  Okay?   It's because he's following some childhood pantering imprinting Okay, some of the other factors that make a difference in this decision age life Experience adult traumas divorce job loss kids baggage This plays a factor in whether or not he's capable of a serious relationship Cultural and religious differences between couples can play into the factor his socio economic status Did he come from a poor home a rich home? How is his finances today that plays a factor into whether or not he can be serious His physical health and appearance by the way, this is true for women and men and women alike physical health and appearance plays a factor Does he do? introspective work does he actually look inside himself or is he just living a life that's just Cavalier unconscious to the world and lastly his emotional intellect all of these play a factor and the reality ladies is that most humans from an inner personalities and behaviors are one of three types of people. This is not a fact. It's an opinion About 20% of the population is probably pretty toxic in their personality or their behaviors And then while I say 20% are genuinely caring people who are capable of leaning into a serious relationship Most everybody is confused 60% of the population is confused so 60 and 20 80% of the population of the dating pool out there is rather fucked up We have men and women alike. We have dysfunctional human beings and you wonder why they pull away when things get serious And I'm gonna lean into the deeper reason right now. I'm gonna lean into the deeper reason right now Why do men pull away pull back when it gets serious? Because serious could mean physical or emotional responsibility in the relationship. I'm gonna repeat that physical or emotional physical means the financial Possible burden of taking care of someone when it's serious. Remember the nurse and the purse I talked about a moment ago Well, we men feel the same thing. We don't want to be their doctor or their bank account. Okay So that's a real serious thing that physical aspect of a relationship and the emotional aspect is where a lot of guys pull away Because they don't want to be emotionally responsible for your emotions They don't they're not capable of it. They want companionship. They want connection. They want sex But they're not capable because they're confused. They're dysfunctional nor do they have the capacity to lean into deeper intimacy Intimacy means into me you see and if you haven't read the book emotional intimacy by robert masters I highly recommend checking this out Because the vast majority of humans are terrible at being vulnerable Authentic and transparent with one another because guess what these days were meeting Total strangers. I highly recommend reading the book by malcolm gladwell What you should know about the people you don't know folks You're choosing people who are rather dysfunctional in your oftentimes delusion to your own Dysfunctionality and you wonder why it's a clusterfuck out there You know, I appreciate the fact that most of you comment on my videos going.    Because the reality is is casual is about what 80 percent of the population is only capable of To want companionship connection and sex without any Without any real commitment And to actually grow with another human being this is what we're faced with and guess what? Probably 80 percent of you will never get the nirvana relationship. You're looking for So you might want to settle on a casual relationship. You might want to settle on friends with benefits There's there is a benefit for those kind of casual relationships for some people because for some people It's better to have a mediocre relationship than no relationship at all Yeah, by the way, do you know if 50 percent of divorces if 50 percent of marriages end in divorce Do you know the other 50 percent still married? Half of those are miserable So it's better for some people it's better to be in a mediocre relationship than no relationship at all And by the way, I'm okay with that I mean not that you need my approval. I'm okay with that. I'm okay Some people have friends with benefits relationships. Some people have multiple casual relationships You know what these days?   Why am I sharing this? Because finding individual empowerment is the most important thing you should be doing Rather than searching for a mate. This is why I continually recommend this book lately Why men love bitches and bitch stands for babe in total control of herself. Yes, this is an empowerment book To let go of the old narrative To throw out the bullshit old rhetoric and establish one's individuality because the solution To all this besides my coaching program By the way, there's a link below to schedule a free discovery call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you Because I teach you how to vet for the right guys so you can avoid the wrong guys But the real lesson that happens when you're empowered First off You're unafraid to hardball relationships and hardball means being intentional being transparent and being Radically honest with one another intentional Transparent and radically honest folks I see women so afraid to speak their truth with men because you're afraid of losing a guy You will only lose the wrong guy because if it's sincere and from the heart as said in chapter nine in my book If it's sincere and from the heart you can't say the wrong thing to the right guy So stop Silencing your voice stop being afraid to speak your truth. I swear to god Most women these days dating are walking around like this. They're walking around with this Sorry I'm putting tape on my mouth to illustrate a point You're walking around afraid to ask questions. You're walking around afraid to speak your truth You're walking around afraid to tell a person how you feel You know folks I sometimes crack myself up But I witness this over and over and over again I mean i'm blessed I make a fortune because you call me ask me for advice on what I should say to a guy I'm like I'm literal and I oftentimes give you the words so you can do it for yourself And I'm like, why aren't you learning this yourself?  The worst thing that's going to happen is you're going to lose the wrong relationship So what's going to change all this?   You both communicate this to each other I agree to explore the process of getting to know you with the intent to declare something serious in the next three to six months You both say it to each other. I agree to be monogamous sexually while we have regular sex together I agree to not actively seek to meet and date others while we're in the dating process, including taking down my dating profile I agree to speak up if this isn't working for me versus pulling back ghosting or disappearing and lastly I agree to invest regular time in the process of getting to know you Which looks like social activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends traveling together teamwork building skills Both in our personal and our professional life intimacy both physical and emotional intimacy And ladies 90 percent of men will bail on this Because thousands of women hundreds of thousands of women will have sex without any commitment or agreement whatsoever And i've said this before if all you women band together today and put on a chesty belt for 90 days You'll change male behavior like that But you won't do it Because so many women will drop their drawers let the penis inside the vagina without any Genuine commitment with one another and while this is no guarantee This weeds out a lot of guys That are only in it The toxic guys the confused guys that are only capable of a non serious casual relationship And as I said before remember Those 10 things I shared here Those 10 things I shared here Instinct biology socialization imprinting age and life experience cultural and religious socio-economic physical health appearance introspect and emotional work These are the men that are genuinely if you've really vetted the guy and that's what I teach How to vet for emotional maturity you have a better chance of finding that guy who's a caring guy A grower and a builder versus the spender who's confused and doesn't know what he wants But he wants companionship and wants connection and wants sex and let me just say Everything I said works in the reverse women. It applies to women 100 percent. You guys are just as toxic just as confused And yes, there are many of you that are caring so Wow, I said a lot Did this sink into this resonate with you?

I saw something earlier um Question jennifer writes Do you think some people are not capable of vulnerability and sharing themselves fully because of fear of major trauma? I love this question Because I forgot to share this in the live in the content portion Why do men pull away when it gets serious? Because they've experienced pain in their life I know after my divorce Last thing I wanted was serious after going through the traumatic and dramatic event of the legal process and the The anger that happened the last thing I wanted was something serious. I wanted companionship. I wanted connection.  I wanted sex. I wanted sex and a little bit of companionship and a little bit of connection So let me be let me be truly transparent But the pain of that experience I mean I I would say for well over half a decade. No more than that We've been divorced now 17 years Easily the first 10 years of that the last thing I wanted was a serious relationship. I wanted companionship I wanted connection. I wanted sex. I was in such pain over the divorce and I witnessed so many women In pain that they're not even capable of a serious relationship So why do people pull away when it gets serious because they're in significant pain And so coming back to your question Jennifer It's difficult to be vulnerable After you've experienced a major trauma like divorce and if 75 of people who are actively dating today are divorced It's no wonder It's a challenge to actually lean into something serious If the a significant percentage of the population is an emotional pain So Pain that's one of the primary reasons why men pull away when things get serious. They're hurting And sadly we men get judged You women get judged We're in a terrible war between the sexes There's an emotional war between the sexes. There's a there's this absolute War of the genders and so many different ways especially in the relationship realm And while some of my contemporaries will sell you on the fantasy because yes, I broken clock is right twice a day It is far more dysfunctional out there than it is panacea And yet you'll see a love story and you'll think oh that can be me You know the real love story The real love story Is self-love You know when I lost Connor I did a deep dive into what does it mean to love when you lose a child? It it can break you up in so many different ways and for me it was the It was the desire To really dig deeper into what does it mean to love oneself? What does it mean to love? And that's what inspired me to write my book because ultimately and folks, you know, I'm not in a significant relationship right now Because I've had to work the last half decade on really learning to love myself I was riddled with childhood wounds and traumas and adult traumas that I've only really began to unpack in the last five years of my life And I still have bad behavior and bad habits I I have you know, I I think I teach because it's my way to heal myself Or at least I I don't teach I I hope I inspire people to look inward because that's my invitation for everybody So I rambled I babbled so thank you for allowing me to share with that jennifer. I really appreciate it All right, just keep swimming. I am swimming Sherry says jonathan you're a good kind of knot. Thank you so much Michael says everybody needs a love, but what does everybody mean love? What does mean love for everyone? Yes All right, let's keep going. Let's keep going. Do you have a question for me? Um bear with me a second Oh question Question after how much time would you bring up the dating vow?    I am so guilty of this I'm not proud of it.  I'll tell you what it's about just so you can see chapter one Trust and commitment Trust and commitment folks. Do you know what trust is? Trust is Isn't just about fidelity Trust is can I count on this person to care about my feelings as much as I care about my own Does this person have my best interest at heart? When you can say that definitively that's when you can trust a person But you know what the tinder swindler created a lot of false trust with a woman because trust takes time to build together Trust takes time to build together. All right Thank you so much for that question Ah, by the way, kimberley. I see your question, but i'm not going to answer it. That's a little too personal So let's keep going Michelle says it's amen to that it all starts and ends with self-love the most important thing in relationship lulu has a question I'm attractive and in shape after losing 90 pounds But have scheduled plastic surgery in september to fix what didn't snap back How and when should I disclose this to someone I just started seeing? Why do you have to tell them? Why? You don't have to tell them that If they ask then you can tell them, but why do you have to tell them?  I'd like to hear your thoughts folks What are your thoughts on what I just shared both my projection or judgment? As well as my solution. I'd like to post a comment. Let me know All right. Thank you lulu big hugs to you and congratulations on losing 90 pounds sending you a big gigantic Jonathan Barahug Ah Catherine says I know what I want and desire in a relationship So I won't settle just to have one not short changing myself. Well, you're already in a relationship. So why are you even saying that? All right, I already know Catherine. That's why I say that question Why are some men needing? Needing or I'm assuming needy and want to be needing and wanting to be in a committed relationship rather than being alone And some men can't commit to anyone Great question. Everybody hold on a second. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I've got a book that I think everybody needs to read Okay, so the book is called Codependent no more Codependent no more we we here in the united states are suckling on the nipple of I need you to love me So I can feel good about myself. I need you to love me so I can feel good about myself I need you to love me so I can feel good about myself And there this is men and women alike. We are Here in united states. We are riddled with dysfunctionality.  We it's a very selfish culture here And by the way under the delusion there is so much delusion that people think they're they're selfless when There's so much victim consciousness and a righteousness Here in united states. I got to tell you it's it's sad to witness the divide that's happening here And thankfully there are other parts of the world where they actually work as a team with one another So anyway, I went off on tangent. So what was the question again? Oh, so it's usually uh codependency is what's going on um, and by the way, I By the way, it's natural to be dependent upon humans for survival needs Whether it's physical or emotional. So it's it's it's very common to be a codependent It's what's what's uncommon is interdependency in other words being a sovereign human being self words self esteem self confidence Self respect and in relationship with somebody else.  So we've hyper focused on chemistry My relationship iceberg chemistry And oftentimes pay little attention to shared values blendable lifestyles and emotional maturity And since 80 percent of people are emotionally dysfunctional.  Uh, probably every seven to ten days. I get a message from a client jonathan I met a great guy jonathan. I met a great guy jonathan. I met a great guy and they know the difference Because of the grown-up work. I teach in life. I teach you how I teach you this How to be an adult in relationships? And if you want a crash course on that schedule a discovery call with me Ah Thank you, diane. I appreciate that question All right, stephanie Question I've heard you say you should have a hundred hours of face to time with someone to create the first level of trust Would you describe what you mean by first level of trust? Great question? so Would you date would you give a man every penny in your bank account? Like at what point do you feel safe enough to give a man every penny of your bank account?  When do you feel safe? I think it's through experiences Through social activities hobbies mutual interests. It's doing things together face to face That helps build trust. So what is trust? Does this person genuinely care about my feelings? So let me give you an example I was in relationship with the woman and we'd only been dating for about three or four months And she had to drive to a difficult part of town A scary part of town from her perspective to do a radio show She called me up and we lived 30 miles from each other and I was working that day and she said would you drive me? When I dropped everything to go help her out That is building trust. In other words putting your partner's needs ahead of your own in other words, it's it's having it's like it's like It's like does this person not only care about my feelings, but do they put my my needs? Sometimes above their own and it takes at least a hundred hours to get to that first level of reaching that Because you got to get past the sexual piece You know is he in it for the short run or is he in it for the long run?    I'm sorry. That sounds like prostitution Sex worker or whatever it's called. I'm just joking.  I think you do Go depth. I just heard about the Johnny depth amber heard Uh verdict interesting. I'll talk about that towards the end. All right. Uh, let's keep swimming Uh corny cops is personal question. Do you work out lift? If so, are you natty? And if you aren't, what's your stack? I don't know what natty means. I work out four days a week Well, I actually I work out five to six days a week including jogging sprinting and white weights I do weights about 20 minutes about three or four times a week. I don't know what natty means and what's your stack I don't know my stack. Um, because I don't I just do I mean, I do I do a fair amount of weight, but I'm not really trying to overly exert myself. All right Kimberly says can you describe the user type of guy that falls into the 20 category? Absolutely. I can let's pull up the user If you're not familiar with the three types of people actively dating, there are the users the spenders and the growers builders Users are the uh for in it for short term gain Love bombers players gold diggers are in it for long term But they're just they're they act entitled and selfish people only caring about those needs. Those are the users Okay So thank you for that question. I really appreciate it All right Catarina says personally at some point there should be vulnerability with each other where we can share our truths down the road In that time trust should be built. If not, it's not a safe place to land. Yes, indeedy um Janik wants to respond back to I think it was lulu. They don't need to know about your surgery executively Rachel asks a question Jonathan What you say isn't wrong the dating world does suck and a lot of people are afraid of commitment Even if you're comfortable with yourself, what would you suggest? to do So I'm a big proponent Of making effort a little bit of effort every day whether it's a dating app Whether it's just being 10 nicer to somebody out in the world Make a little bit effort to connect with people and then I invite you all to do a prayer Because this is what love would do and this is how love would respond God universe spirit I invite romantic love into my life That kind of romantic love where we have amazing chemistry with one another and we have this amazing physical desire to be with one another And I invite that kind of relationship that romantic relationship Where we can banter and laugh with each other and our communication comes from a vulnerable authentic and transparent place and god universe spirit I invite in a person where we can blend lives together and our lives are compatible with one another and we can Invest regular time in getting to know one another And god universe spirit. I invite in somebody who shares my values Who has that kind of character that type of person? I can respect them and they can respect me and we can both honor and cherish one another And lastly I invite that kind of relationship where we can build the deep roots of trust through social activities hobbies mutual interest Spending time with family and friends traveling together teamwork building skills both in our personal and professional life intimacy both physical and emotional intimacy because we both operate from a place of emotional maturity And we have the tools and resources that if we have conflicts with one another We can overcome them with ease because we're focused on being happy Instead of being right and god universe spirit. I invite that into my life Can I get an amen? I'm a preacher sometimes. How'd you like my prayer? How'd that sit with you? I hope it went well Ah 10 says 10 1138 Says amen to the prayer Elaine says i'm quick-witted and outspoken Lulu says thank you everyone eventually. I'll have to tell them a month or work I know sex, but I'll keep it under my hat until that time way to go Oh Katarina says amen. I love it exactly says Cynthia amen Uh, alexandra says amen or uh or your rock Rocked couple with meditation we can manifest there you go All right, let's see if we've got anything else Leah says Question can you make a video on dating widows? They seem to be very difficult in having relationships You know, I don't know if I can I'm really qualified to really discuss that. I mean You know my ex-wife's Mother got divorced right at the time we were getting married.  Okay She was 62 She was 58 so roughly, you know, this was almost 25 plus years ago They met They fell in love and got married They went on to live another they were on they were together another married 28 years before he passed away And I think around 90 92 years old or something like that. I can't remember the exact detail Maybe it was a little bit older, but they were together 28 years She lived she had more relationship with him. Oh, by the way, he was a widower. That's why I'm bringing it up Um, you know difficulty for her children to accept her there was some bumps in the road But you know what he was fully devoted to her and when I went to the funeral last month I was so happy to hear her his children share How much they appreciated?  It just depends on how devoted they are to their previous partner So I'll try to shoot a video on that. So thank you um I can't or says question. How can you distinguish when a when being a realist crosses over cynicism I don't know you got okay. So folks you tell me because I oftentimes think I'm cynical I think I'm an alarmist now Am I an alarmist? Am I cynical or is this rational? Is this realistic? I don't know You know what matters most Is not worrying about Just you know what? I'm just myself with you guys. I'm this is this is my person By the way, my personnel first off. I do not curse 24 seven in my personal life I rarely ever curse actually in my life. I only cur I use Explodives to enhance the sentence for my videos. Okay So just know that so Where was I going god? I go off on tangents. So let me go back and read this again uh So, you know, I don't know.  How do you feel about how do you feel about my content? How do you what do your friends tell you about you? Ask the people who love you to critique you Sometimes they can be by the way. Well, actually we have to be careful of that because if they haven't read the four agreements Be impeccable with your word Always do your best. Remember people's People's perception of you is oftentimes a projection or a judgment and never make assumptions So, you know what read this book and You know what you're going to be doing just fine All right, our last question Miss uh lorraine says love that book exactly. Thank you Um All right Katrina says you're a realist FL says you're definitely not alarmist. I feel like that sometimes uh Bump um All right Last question of the night before I go ahead and by the way, I'm connecting with my son We're gonna head out for jacuzzi before the evening ends. All right, since a few of you asked about the woman I'm seeing the long distance relationship. We're meeting tomorrow. We've got a couple things planned for the weekend Uh, what am I gonna be wearing? I have no idea what I'm gonna be wearing kimberley I know you asked but I have no idea what I'm gonna be wearing um You know Long distance is a prob. It's difficult. Okay. It's difficult on so many different levels And we're most likely going to have a very serious chat either during the time together or shortly thereafter because There's no guarantees It takes time to build real trust with another human being to build that level of real connection And it's difficult to do it over the telephone because of false intimacy And really because 80 percent of communication is non-verbal so, um, you know, I'm I'm going in with this, um You know, not overly optimistic, but you know, I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful but at the same time. I'm a realist And she's a realist. So we're to some degree. We're living in the moment and just seeing how it goes That's what dating is all about Part of it's living in the moment and seeing how it goes But do it with people who actually can have real conversations and because she and I are vulnerable authentic and transparent with one another And we're intentional We at least have the building blocks to maybe make something happen of this and if it doesn't happen That's okay, too. That's okay, too Okay all right folks Thought I'd share that with you Debra says I think your positive attitude is contagious. Thank you so much. I appreciate that All right. Well, listen, I hope you got value. Why men pull away when things are getting serious oftentimes there's either dysfunctionality confusion And most of all a lot of pain People are experiencing a lot of pain and they're afraid It sucks out there Yeah, people are falling in love all the time So what can you do to change your narrative? Read the books? I recommend schedule a coaching call with me um Do the work because whether you find a relationship or not what's most important is the relationship you have with yourself as uh, I think it's ester perl said the the quality of your life is based on the Quality of the relationships you have and it starts with the relationship with yourself and that's my invitation for everyone All right, I think this would be a good place to stop right now um Leah says good luck tomorrow. You deserve to be happy. I am happy. I am happy. I'm happy folks But thank you. I appreciate that All right, good place to wrap up if you found value, please like this video Please subscribe to my channel.

Hi guys this is Jason here from the Nathaniel School of Music and in this lesson let's look at learning how to set up and understand all the preferences of the DAW Reaper which is an amazing application to record, edit, arrange, mix, produce, master, any kind of music right and the first thing you'd want to do is install it you can go to Reaper.fm install your application then hit download please note that the software is free you can use it the full version is free however if you'd like to purchase it and support the company you can also do so by hitting purchase here so before we do anything if you haven't already please install the software from Reaper.fm and figure out which OS you have Linux, Windows or Mac, Mac is what I have so you would want to download it for whichever OS you're running okay in addition to that another thing to also download and keep ready will be the SWS extension which you can find by googling just type SWS extension and you can google this download that as well this will give you a lot of more features or more tools to use Reaper with and if you do not have a sound card I'd advise you to go to this website SEOforall.org and this will work only for Windows users of course and you can install some drivers to make your inbuilt sound card work and use your mic from your laptop or your desktop to some level however I would personally advise you to have a basic audio interface while using the software Reaper or any software for that matter so that it allows you to record things like vocals and listen back with high quality okay so once you've downloaded Reaper we're going to launch it and open it up here and while we're doing that I'd request all of you to if you haven't already please subscribe to our YouTube channel give us a thumbs up share the video and all of that nice stuff and yeah also turn on the bell icon for regular notifications the first thing Reaper will ask you is you have not selected an audio device so that's the first thing we need to do obviously because it's all about audio so you hit yes you can go over to your defaults now if you have nothing you can do default else I'm going to choose the one I have which is Zen Studio if you don't have a Zen Studio well you may have a focus right or an apogee or a pre son is whatever you may have you need to install the drivers let your computer see it and then only will Reaper see it so make sure you choose your driver your audio device after having installed all the relevant drivers after you've done that you can just leave this but just be aware that you will be coming to request sample rate and block size regularly during your recordings for example when you're recording the block size will be generally less and whenever you make a change in the preferences you need to hit apply Reaper preferences is what we are going to do today and just make sure we understand it thoroughly and not have any doubts set it up once and for all and then we can just focus on the creativity just let the software do its job okay so while we've set up audio devices you could also set up your MIDI devices I'm sure a lot of you would would be preferring to work with MIDI a lot so if you have your MIDI device installed on your computer for example the one I have currently connected is Studio Logic SL88 so currently by default it is disabled make sure you go ahead and enable both these options this is only if you have a MIDI controller installed so this could be a Studio Logic SL88 which I have it could be Roland or even if you have a basic Yamaha keyboard you can literally do something like just type Yamaha USB MIDI driver Mac you'll get a website you can go there and just download the driver and keep it ready right so install your MIDI drivers for your MIDI device and install your audio drivers for your audio interface which in my case is that okay now let's go all the way to the top tab by tab and let's get every setting understood and also I'll show you some of my customized settings which I think will be quite efficient for all of you people okay so first off general open project on startup I would prefer that you tick on prompt that means it'll prompt you give you a list of recent projects and then you can choose which one you'd want to work with as opposed to it opening the most recent one which I think is not so preferred okay as always hit apply so I guess here you can just do that paths default path to save new projects so you need to find a folder on your computer first of course make one in my case I've made a folder called repossessions and then hit open and then all of your new projects by default will be saved here and also to avoid cluttering up your project too much there's an option here store all peak caches dot re peaks in alternate paths these are all your waveforms which you'll see in your project which I don't think you need to see in your existing project folder it may clutter it up too much so I would say do this in a different path so I'm going to go to desktop there's a folder probably called re peaks which I've made already there we go and I'm just going to open that folder and hit tick here and hit apply tick store all peak caches in alternate paths alternate path so re peaks is just going to store all of your waveform information and just you don't bother about it this will really help if you're using also like an external drive like what I'm doing is I'm using an external drive called a glyph 1 tb and I'm actually recording all my projects there while all my waveform information is somewhere else because it doesn't really matter as much as this this really matters okay coming down next tab you have your keyboard multi touch option now you can choose your mouse wheel or your multi touch mouse or in this case an apple mouse you can choose how it will work so play around with these settings in my instance I prefer to reverse horizontal scroll that's the way I like to work so hit apply then moving forward you go to project so in project this is a very important thing when creating project use the following project file as a template so this will be very useful for instance you could go to browse you have all your templates so I have a thing here called as new project which is my template so I'm just going to link up to that okay so it has all of my plugins all of my settings etc okay so that's cool there's also an option to open properties on new project I would highly recommend that or you can leave it unticked depends on you for now we leave it ticked then this is an important place project saving you don't want to lose your data so I would personally recommend timestamp backup which is here and backup every two minutes anytime so every two minutes is going to do a backup and that backup I'm going to save it to an additional directory I don't want to save it to the project directory again to avoid cluttering so I will make an additional directory in my desktop here let me just type timestamp there we go the folder called timestamp so all my backup so if the power goes off or any such thing you're sorted right so hit apply very important so every two minutes anytime timestamp backup okay moving forward next tab tracks and defaults this is also very cool so the thing I would recommend well all of this you could use you could leave most of them as they are there's something here called default track heights in new projects you can make it large or small depending on your laptop size I guess then you could also choose any new track which you make you could record arm it right now this could be useful when you're doing midi so then if it's midi you could be like input one and also this is the default input for any new track so whenever you make a new track you want to monitor the input or maybe you don't want to monitor the input you could take it or untick are you going to be recording audio or midi or I do you want to do midi over dub which are midi recording features I would probably take this and what are you going to record are you going to record from this right now my sound card or my audio interface has inputs right so by default I want to record from input number 11 which is in fact the mic which I'm talking to you on so I'm going to take that you could take input one or input two wherever your mic is connected in your studio setup or as I said earlier if you're recording midi you just go input midi as you can see my SL88 shows up you could take all channels and just go with midi so this is important record arm I prefer to leave it unticked because I like to manually select that hit apply and I think we are good to go there these are all your track defaults then you have something called as media item defaults this is something you can disable you can disable this automatic fade I think well you can create automatic fade in fade out or you can disable it I just prefer to do it manually then default fade in fade out shape default cross fade shape you can leave this as it is or if you prefer other shapes you can change it accordingly right and this I think is quite important trim content behind media items when editing I like the setting just stick it and keep it available hit apply next audio we have already seen audio well this is fine all these settings you can get a bit more geeky here you can edit the names of all your channels your input channels you can actually call you can tick aliasing and you can actually call the true input of your sound card which is input 11 you can name it as something else let's say I can call it vocal you know and it shows up as vocal for now I just prefer the default settings which seem to work well for me can also reset goes back to default okay moving on devices I've showed you MIDI devices I've showed you buffering you can leave exactly how it is looks very complicated so yeah I think I would leave it as it is mute solo yeah this is just to prevent a few hearing it's just to protect your ears and stuff like that automatically mute any track when volume exceeds a specific db you could tweak that to suit you just to protect your hearing and so on playback this is another nice thing to tweak here and there okay so with playback the first thing I would like to do is to tick this one stop repeat playback at end of project I prefer to leave this unticked leave this unticked very important also you could reset MIDI CC pitch on playback start playback stop I just prefer to reset it once you finish the playback so take this and untick that and hit apply there we go moving on to seeking I think seeking is fine so under recording you can pretty much leave it as it is except for this one prompt to save delete rename I think just leave that unticked I don't want Reaper to keep prompting you after you record any instance of anything so untick that and hit apply I think that's pretty much what you'd want to do loop recording is fine rendering is fine appearance is fine at least for me media is something where I prefer media every item you record you can just have the volume control on each individual item so it's not only per track even items have their own volume so you could perhaps tick knob so it looks really neat there's a nice volume knob which you could play around with hit apply moving forward peaks and waveforms are fine fades and cross fades I think are perfectly fine for me track control panels yeah I think track control panels are also sorted for now then you have editing behavior so horizontal zoom center is what I would prefer to to work with these are some settings and also here move edit cursor to start of time selection on time selection change I would recommend that you take this very important take this and vertical zoom center is fine horizontal zoom center you could zoom to the current play cursor or edit cursor which is great or else what I like to do sometimes is zoom to my mouse cursor so wherever my mouse is if I zoom it'll actually zoom to that okay hit apply move below envelope behavior seems to be completely fine then automation seems fine mouse seems to be fine by default they've ignored mouse wheel on all faders if you like you know moving your mouse wheel on a fader you could untick this or maybe ignore mouse wheel on only track panel faders which I think is nice then you can use it for the mixer okay so that's something I prefer and then midi editor or mouse modifiers now this is a very very deep area like what you do here is absolutely customizable you have modifiers which are shift command shift plus command option shift plus option option is alt on pc so anything you do while holding these commands and doing stuff with the mouse which is left clicking left dragging and double clicking will do all sorts of things to all these sorts of things the media item the bottom half of the media item the edge of the media item man this is really really detailed so I have done some of my settings which I will attach in a file and give you and you guys could check it out and see if it works for you okay so that's about mouse modifiers just know that you can tweak a lot of things in this area coming to midi editor midi editor I have a few preferences for my workflow first of all you want to tick one midi editor per track I think that makes it very peaceful to work with then open items in built-in midi editor open all midi on the same track I think that works and also here one midi editor per track or you can even do per project depending on your requirement I think I prefer per track hit apply and now going to media super important thing to tick it should have probably been there by default copy imported media to project media directory that means whenever you drag and drop anything whether it's from a pendrive whether it's from a download from google or whether it's from whatsapp and then you drag that file into reaper it's going to put that into the project media directory so please tick that very very important hit apply come to midi I think all of these things are fine video well reaper also edits video which is crazy right so you have video stuff if you want to tweak plugins I think are completely fine compatibility is fine VST is just something you can just check you know you would have installed your own plugins VSTs are plugin file formats so if you've installed it correctly it's probably going to show up in one of these folders by default just make sure that these folders in fact store your virtual instrument plugins you can always re-scan it and just make sure that reaper can point to wherever you've actually installed your virtual instrument plugins okay and you can leave the rest as it is this is for coders and really really fancy people okay so I think this should get you up and running with the preferences hit okay you're good to go and yeah you can do a bunch of things here and a few more things I'd like to set up for my workflow before you actually start is hit this I which is project settings okay and this is a very important area so the project sample rate I would highly recommend that you go with 48000 with modern days standards choose the BPM of your current project which in this instance is 120 I could perhaps even make it 105 time base for items envelopes and markers that means do you want them to move with the beats or do you want them to always retain their original absolute position I would always recommend time here and beats here this is how I work with music especially if you don't do a lot of midi stuff I do a lot with you know acoustic instruments so I just prefer time here you may be different so then we go to media this is excellent path to save media files so all your audio files will now be recorded in a sub folder called as audio which is within the main folder which is going to be your project file okay audio or I can just say audio files or whatever that's up to you I guess softwares like Pro Tools and Reaper have it by default but Reaper you can just make it happen audio format for new recordings obviously wave 24 bit is highly recommended however if you're working with 16 bit that should also be fine video I don't really bother much advanced is fine notes if you have you can put notes and you can also save this as your default project setting so any project you make will be like that and you're good to go and you have everything sort of set up for you you have your metronome running right these are your metronome settings which can be accessed here right so all this can probably be done in another video by me I think this is a bit too much for now but yeah a few more things just to get you up and running go to options and new recording that overlaps existing items I personally prefer tape mode which is old school that means you record something and then if you don't like it you just record over that but please note the default is in takes so that means you record something and then the next recording which you do will not sort of overwrite the old recording the old recording will also remain so this is a setting which works for me I also like to untick this whole auto crossfade business I think it's a bit annoying so you can untick that what else yeah I think this is pretty much it with Reaper let me just show you one more thing you do when you when you save now this is an unsaved project so when you hit save let's just call it my first Reaper something like that just when you save it for the first time make sure to create sub directory for project then it's going to make a neat sub directory and then put the project file into that sub directory and into that folder which is called my first Reaper there will also be another folder called as audio files okay so just hit save and there we go we have a project file called my first Reaper and moving forward you can just make some tracks set up your view right now as you can see I'm on channel 11 and I don't want to turn on monitoring so I turn that off and as you can see the signal seems to be coming in I can record myself right now I'm just talking some random stuff and it's quite cool when I hit stop I just can work with this can also reduce the item volume some of the presets which I showed you guys and if I record over this it sort of just overrides it which is my preferred way but remember you can always play with it by editing and trimming and whatnot okay so I will definitely cover a few more things if you guys are interested please leave me a comment if you'd like to learn anything else in specific but I thought of doing this particular lesson primarily to show you how you can set up Reaper in the beginning so that you don't have to bother too much yes there are a few more things the other thing I recommended the beginning was to install your sws extensions this gives you a lot of other options like auto coloring some live performance tools if you are into that into that domain and it's great right so just set up Reaper to suit you before anything and as a nice bonus in this lesson I can I will be giving you a link in the comments to the configuration which I have used to set up Reaper to work for me what you'll need to do is import the configuration in settings and you would import the settings which I have given you which in this case is that this is my default so it'll go back to my own settings I'll also be giving you guys a lot of my shortcuts which which should help you for your workflow and yeah so it loads up quite well I can load up all my recent projects as you can see and it's pretty much set up for my work so for example if I go here print up a project so I have my piano set up for me I have some vocals running with some nice reverb and so on so it's sort of set up for me so yeah this is what I'm going to give you I'm going to give you my configuration if you'd like to just quickly just double click and get all my settings along with some cool shortcuts which Reaper is really really known for okay so I hope you guys have found this lesson useful so all the best have fun set up your Reaper really well and then go forward and be extremely creative if you haven't already guys please like the video give it a thumbs up thanks for watching for so long and I will see you guys in the next one if you have any suggestions please leave them in the comments and as always have fun make some great music and I will catch you in the next video cheers
