But then I finally had my first accounting course and also even taking my math courses in college as well. And my accounting course was my accounting tool one. It was my favorite course I had taken thus far in college. And I was so like it was just my favorite class. Like I was in the class. I raised my hand every single day. I was answering all the questions. Like I was excited to do the homework. I was even excited to help other people in my class understand how to do it. And I just fell in love with it from my very first class. And I was like, I want this to be my major. So everyone today I'm going to be interviewing Attila. She's an MBA student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Attila, she graduated as the outstanding accountant in her program. And she attended the second most diverse high school in the nation, Central High in Philadelphia. She just completed an internship with EY. And today she's going to talk to us about the scholarship that she was awarded by the PICPA Foundation. Thank you for agreeing to meet with us today, Attila. Yes, thank you for having me. Absolutely. Can you tell us how did you learn about the scholarship opportunity first? My professors in my accounting department at IUP actually informed us about the PICPA and about like the scholarship opportunities and just some of the other things they had to offer. And because I was involved in some of the accounting, the organizations on campus, they also encouraged us like, you know, like they have scholarships, you guys will qualify for them. Like it's a good opportunity. So I decided to apply for two of the scholarships. I applied for the diversity and the general scholarship and I was actually awarded a scholarship. Excellent. So would you say encourage students to join clubs on campus and get involved? Would you strongly agree to that statement? Yes, actually one of the biggest things that helped in my career was getting involved in some of the clubs and organizations on campus. I would say you really need like it's really a key part of your resume. A key aspect for you to just learn more about accounting because accounting isn't just you go into college. It's also you having to get extra credits, 150 credits. You have to get your CPA exam and things like that. So we are in these organizations that can help you through the process. So you know what to do. Absolutely. It's a support system and it's going to open many doors for you. So that's what you should do as an accounting student. Join various accounting clubs, business clubs on campus. Have as much exposure as possible. And let's talk about your recent internship at EY. So we're assuming you're going into public accounting and you're going to be soon Attila Elise CPA. Yes. So my hopefully in a couple months from now, I hope that my credentials will be Attila CPA comma MBA. So I did intern with EY over the summer. So I'm going into assurance, the audit part of accounting. That's what really grabbed my attention. And it was my internship was amazing. It was really great. I was able to meet with like partners from the firm in Philadelphia as well. So it was like, it was a nice size office of EY. And I was able to work on the engagement team. And we had a very, very large client in the medical field that that manufactures parts that like hospitals and things like that use. And it was very, very interesting work. Honestly, like I really liked it. That's the beauty of accounting, especially public accounting. It's that exposure, that exposure. But let's go back to high school. Why did you choose accounting in the first place? What was your motivation? Why did you go for that major? Or maybe you did not know, could you tell us a little bit more about that? Yes. So I'll tell you guys a little bit about how I even got into accounting. So when I first started in high school, I knew I wanted to work in business. So I actually started IUP as a general management major. So I was taking the management classes. And then I was like, this, and I kind of, this was just me, but it wasn't really challenging as I wanted it to be. So I was like, okay, I'm going to add another major. And I added human resource management. And then I was doing human resource management and management. And then, and I mean, it was fine. I was getting good grades. But then I finally had my first accounting course and also even taking my math courses in college as well. And my accounting course was my accounting tool one. It was my favorite course I had taken thus far in college. And I was so like, it was just my favorite class. Like I was in the class, I raised my hand every single day. I was answering all the questions, like I was excited to do the homework. I was even excited to help other people in my class understand how to do it. And I just fell in love with it from my very first class. And I was like, I want this to be my major. Well, you made the right choice. I can assure you about that. So soon, maybe a year from now or year and a half, you'll start to complete your exams and start to get more comfortable in your position. Anything else you would like to add to any advice to either accounting majors, people who are not sure about what they want to do, or just encourage them to apply for the scholarship at the PICPA, get involved, any last word about this place? Well, I would encourage the students in the business school and students who are interested in accounting is to really find what you like in business. So for me, it was accounting, of course. And after you find what you like, make sure that you get involved. So I, like I said, I only became an accounting student in my sophomore year. And by my senior year, I was the president of the National Association of Black Accountants on campus. So between just those two years, I was able to get to know people in the field, go to workshops, talk to people, my professor, my accounting professors, they had Excel workshops. And even when I started working at EY over the summer as an intern, we used Excel. So it's like things like that you really, it might not just be things in your class, but also things outside of class that have to do with your future career. All of those things are very helpful. And then as well as programs like the PICPA offers, the PICPA, they help when I was able to get the scholarship. When I got the scholarship, it was actually right after I graduated and I was starting grad school. So I was able to use a scholarship to help pay for housing over the summer while I was doing my grad classes. So it's things like that. And then also, while you're in accounting, you have to remember, you're not just a regular student in the way that you need 150 credits. You want to work at a firm or intern and things like that. So when you're in these programs, because your classes aren't going to say, oh, you need to get extra 30 credits or you need to apply for these programs. If you're involved on campus and if you're speaking with CPAs and professionals, then they will help you to learn those things that you need to do. And that's what really helped me in my career is connecting with professionals, getting into programs like the PICPA and getting involved with the membership and those types of programs to help you be on the right track to start your career. Excellent. So expand your horizon, network, learn about anything that you can learn about at every opportunity to get involved in clubs. Attila, thank you very much for your time. We greatly, greatly appreciate it. And I'm pretty sure you're going to be, you're going to have those three letters behind your name and more victories to come. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me. Sure.


What's the word, y'all? Every time I'm trying to book somebody to come onto the show, I'll shoot a DM and say, hey, come on and talk about your favorite team for 10 minutes or so, and then it ends up being a 20 minute, 30 minute conversation because it is going so well. I wanna say shout out to Luke and Jonathan of The Six Man Show for taking the time to really talk Orlando Magic with me. There are a lot of really intriguing young cores around the NBA, but I really do like what the Orlando Magic have going on there. Palo Ben Carro is their first overall pick. Franz Wagner surprised me. I already got love for Wendell Carter. Jalen Suggs is there. You got Markel Foss like we can name drop young people in the core all day long. It's that deep. But y'all don't wanna just hear me talk. Y'all wanna hear the die hard core fans do it. So let's get into it. And I'm joined by Jonathan and Luke of The Six Man Show to talk all things Orlando Magic. How are you guys doing today? Good bro, appreciate the opportunity man. How are you? I'm doing great. How about you Luke? I'm good man, good. Excited, been watching you for a long time. So to be able to join you and talk about our magic. It's a dream come true man, really. You guys had a lot of people vouching. So I'm excited to have you here man. A lot of people are like, we need these guys on. So here we are. Shout out to the magic fam. We can't do it without those guys. So really appreciative and happy to be here. It should be a very interesting season.  Vucovich coming to Chicago. So actually we're connected in that way. And then Aaron Gordon going over to Denver. I think a lot of the things that have happened for Orlando have been positives, right? Like Vucovich coming to Chicago. You guys, I'm on record. The moment that trade went down and said the magic did amazing there. So fill me in. How are y'all feeling about my boy, Wendell Carter and the seventh pick that turned into Franz Wagner? Well, we were gutted the day of the boots trade. That was the first domino. We knew we were kind of trading some guys. But that made it abundantly clear that we were blowing up the current roster that we had. Wendell is look great this season obviously. And Franz Wagner making first team all rookie. We're doing all right. We're pretty happy with that trade now. Yeah, and still getting that pick to next year coming in as well, that 2023 pick. It's going to be very interesting.  So there's that. But he's just been so good defensively for us as well. And I think that's where maybe surprised me most. And admittedly, maybe wasn't as keen to how good he was defensively or could be. And there's just a lot to like about him and his ability to guard and even switch sometimes.  Although he's not like the traditional rim protector, his rim deterrence is really kind of his style of rim protection. He just keeps guys out of the paint. So he's been great for us. Yeah, that was the point I was actually about to make. His undersize is, I guess, the word we can use for Wendell Carter for using him as a five. But when he was here in Chicago, he was basically saying to the media, I would love to play some four. He didn't say I wanted to be a full-time four, but some four and he got to, we got to see that with Mo Bamba this season as well. And then you started to see Wendell Carter stretch. And I just fell in love with watching Wendell Carter, but I have to continue to prevent my Bulls fans from jumping off a ledge because there's no guarantee that we would have drafted Franz Wagner at number seven. But man, that guy looks so good as Ricky season. I honestly think that even though he was all rookie and everything, people are underrating how good Franz Wagner was his rookie year. And now you add the first overall pick. Just a lot of good things going on in Orlando right now. We're back up. That's what we like to say about the magic. It's been a rough decade, post-White Howard. Anytime you trade a guy who's gonna be a Hall of Famer and should have been the NBA top 75. 100%. It takes a while to kind of get back to that, but with Paolo, Franz, Wendell, we're really excited about the future now. Yeah, and Kenny, if I can kind of jump in here and just refer to, I watched one of your videos here recently talking about, you know, the most underrated players on each team. And I think Dell is obviously a great choice for that just because he was being overlooked solely because of guys like Franz and Jalen Suggs just like paying attention to them in their first year in our magic uniform. But as far as like underrated goes, every time I hear people talk about the magic, they always fail to mention Markel Foltz. And it's irritating as a magic fan because he obviously last year came in, you know, late in the season, right? And kind of looking at everything to do with last season, played 18 games, only played 20 minutes a game is what he ended up averaging at and still had almost 11 points, five and a half assists and almost three rebounds. So, and the team was exponentially better with him on the court in terms of offensively. The record was much better. The sample size there was good at 18 games, it was fine. But just able to see kind of where Markel is also going to fit next year. I just want to throw it out there because there's a lot of people who don't even think about Markel Foltz and try to say maybe Cole Anthony should start over over him or something. I just think it's Markel Foltz and it's really not even a question and like for Jonathan and I. I have a guy, Mike, he's like my best friend also co-host of my podcast. He has always held his Markel Foltz stock. And every time the magic come up he mentions basically what you said is like the sample size is small but when he was on the court he was filling the stat sheet. And if I'm not mistaken during those games the Orlando Magic were like the one of the top three defenses in all the basketball in that 20 game spanner something. So, I understand exactly what you're saying when Markel Foltz being the guy but this is one of my questions that I had to you guys because there are so many, so many talented young players on the roster between Jalen Suggs, Cole, Anthony, Markel Foltz those are just guards right there. How do you find a way to get everybody's minute everybody minutes so they develop to the point that you want them to? Yeah, we really don't envy Jamal Mosley you know, the head coach when it comes to this this is something that I mean, we're really filling the off season with at this point talking about what the lineup is going to look like. You know, you add the number on Paulo Banquero, you still have Jonathan Isaac hopefully coming back sometime this season. So, it's really a good problem to have. I think you just roll the ball out training camp let those guys compete. Jamal is going to put really the best five guys out on the floor to give us a chance to win. He's not shy about playing young guys or rookies. He proved that last year by starting Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner on opening night. So, the cream is going to rise to the top and we're hoping that these guys are competitive enough and if they truly want to be those kind of guys in this league, you know, they'll find their way into the lineup. Yeah, and I was just to add to that really like we've talked about it and I've said it so many times especially this off season and last off season you start to do the math and you're like you have so many guys on this roster that are not only young but could have a debate for minutes, right? Like you have a guy where like the magic are going to have a hard time trying to see where Terrence Ross fits into the lineup this year who when he's on, he's on, right?  So, this team just has so many things going for them but I just hope they don't have too many things going for them and I hope that it doesn't end and I feel like it will end up being maybe after this season the magic are able to have a lot of flexibility and cap this next off season. And on top of that you kind of will be able to see like Jonathan said, cream rice at the top and is there a world where they package us a bunch of young guys for a, you know above average veteran that they can bring in because right now you've got like Gary Harris and Terrence Ross as veteran presence and you're looking at them and Gary Harris is like 27, 26, like he's not that old but he's old for this roster. And I'm sure they probably crack jokes about his age with that roster. You got so many dudes under 24, it's ridiculous but yeah, like I said, I love that it's a problem for the magic but I hope it doesn't eventually cause problems, you know, when you get to that point we have to make decisions. Well, you mentioned packaging potentially some of the younger guys but you said a veteran. I'm sure you guys have been asked this question. I've listened to Bill Simmons' podcast. I've listened to Zach Lowe's podcast and Donovan Mitchell is a name that is thrown around a ton. Jonathan has a Spider-Man tattoo. How would you guys feel about that? Now it feels like we're all just living in this fictional hypothetical world cause there's been no link between Donovan Mitchell and Yolanda Magic at all. But it seems like you guys would potentially have the pieces to make a Donovan Mitchell trade a reality. I mean, I guess it depends on what Danny Angel's really thinking because some of the rumors I've heard are insane but could he be that connector between the youth and the wind now that potentially helps y'all get back into the playoffs? I'll say not for eight first round picks. Unless it's your guy, Michael Jeffrey Jordan coming back, I'm not giving up eight picks for anybody. But yeah, I think Magic fans are really split on this. Obviously we get both sides of the argument. Like you bring in a guy next to Paolo, next to Frans and you have like your trio of the future moving forward. And then a lot of us are also, and this is kind of where Luke and I stand, like the front office has been very methodical about how they put this roster together so far and how they've drafted. Let's see this thing through at least for another year.  That's completely fine. We're fine with people thinking that we're idiots. We are, but my point is a lot of us just kind of, we wanna see what we have with some of these young guys. You still have Jonathan Isaac, we gotta see if he's gonna be healthy. Let's see what Markel Foltz looks like healthy. Let's see Jalen Suggs with a full off season if he can improve the handle and the shooting ability. Let's see if Cole Anthony can be consistent for the entire season. Started the last year really, really strong. Let's see if Chuma Okiki can get a little bit better. Like let's see what we've got. And in this NBA, it seems like every year, year and a half, a guy of Donovan Mitchell's caliber is becoming available through trades. Whether it's a guy like Kevin Durant or a team made a move for like a Rudy Gobert, Ben Simmons, James Hardin, every year or so a guy is coming up, that's available in trade talks. So as good as Donovan Mitchell is, he's not going to be the last guy available through a trade for the magic because let's be realistic. Orlando is in a huge free agency destination. And today, most of the NBA free agency really happens through trades. Guys sign a fat deal, they're two, three years into that and they say, hey, I wanna move now. And then teams are trying to trade and signing these guys to extensions. So magic fans are kind of 50-50 on this.  And I just wanna make something abundantly clear that Jonathan and I have came to accept, which is just because a star is available and maybe to you, doesn't mean you should be available to them. Like this team at this point with how young they are, yes, you are going to be exponentially better getting Donovan Mitchell, but there's a few different arguments that I've heard that just like don't hold any water, which is, well, if Donovan Mitchell comes to the magic, his lack of defensive ability will be hidden up by a hidden by guys like Jalen Suggs and Jonathan Isaac. And it's like, I don't think you guys understand what it's gonna take to get Donovan Mitchell. Like you might not be able to hide him anymore, right? And it's like, then what?  And what they've been trying to do for the last few years, I would rather just homegrown. We saw it in the finals this last year, two homegrown teams really going at it in the finals. That's our dream.  Like we're the magic, we get it dude. Like that is, it is what it is. But even more so, like just stand firm, hold your cards close to the vest like this front office has done and continue to prove to be able to do. And I think we're gonna be just fine. It's gonna take a little bit more patience, but I trust this front office wholeheartedly. So you mentioned the homegrown teams and the way you become one of those homegrown teams is to draft well. First overall pick in this year's draft, you guys got what seems like an absolute stun. I was there for the first two games of a Summer League career and no matter who was on the court with him, Palo just looked like the man. He looked like an NBA player amongst college players. Were you guys team Palo? Because it seemed like everybody had it written in pen that it was gonna be Jabbar Smith and out of nowhere, a magic marker came out of it and the magical racer came out and took that pin away. So did you guys hype yourself up for Jabari? Ended up being Palo. How are y'all feeling about first overall pick? I will say the night of the draft, I'll let Luke speak for himself, but the night of the draft, I was legitimately fine with Palo, Chet or Jabari. We've been talking this entire draft cycle about how it was three guys at the top and then everyone else. And I had talked myself into any of those guys, but I had like very specific disclaimers. You only draft Jabari if you're confident that he's going to evolve into this number one option. A'la, like a guy like Paul George didn't come into the league necessarily with a handle, but has now developed one of the deepest bags we've ever seen. Bag talk. Not saying Jabari is gonna be Paul George, but if you think that is his projection, then I'm good with you taking him at number one. If you think Chet is gonna be what we saw in his Summer League debut, the 23 points, hitting threes, blocking everybody and you're not worried about his frame, then you go ahead and take Chet. If you wanted the surest, safest, most surefire guy, you went with Paolo. That being said, we were drinking that Jabari Kool-Aid. It was all in the news, it was all over the place. We had talked ourselves into that being the pick and we're happy to say we were wrong. Like Jabari is not Paolo, at least not right now. This front office gets paid millions of dollars a year to make decisions like this. And Paolo is the guy and we are all in on Paolo, super excited for him. The man's gonna be lifting the LOB in Orlando sometime soon. Yeah, we hope. We hope, yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, like John said, we were open to anybody, right? And we have really adopted the, really just the, I don't know if it's a mantra, but just like the idea, the concept of we trust this front office until we, they lose our trust. And they have done some great things. They have done really great things, like the bull's trade as well, being one of them. Like you, how, and then drafting Franz Wagner. Like there is just so much trust that we have in this front office. But I will say that I was heavily leaning Jabari. Like that was my, that was my preference and everything. But at the end of the day, my, you know, what I kept telling Jonathan and everybody and all of our listeners was, whoever it is, I'm gonna be cool with it. I don't have any type of issue with it. I'll trust that they, you know, made the right decision. So that's kind of where we were at.  And it's just kind of comes down to it. Like maybe we overthought the, the draft process, right? Like maybe we overthought, who's going to be the guy? Your team is terrible for 10 years. And is the laughing stock of the NBA.  All right. Yeah. There's a lot of stress with having the first overall pick. I know that. Well, I guess I don't. The last time we had the first overall pick, it was pretty easy. Go with the hometown kid, Derek Rose. But I know how much work it goes into making sure you have the guy, because do our history having the first overall pick hasn't meant that you got the best guy, you know, long term. But Palo just, just looks so much better than everybody else out there. And I know there are a lot of people watching this video. I'm not saying you too specifically because you're down in the weeds of Orlando Magic fandom that had given up on Jalen Suggs already. I met Jalen Suggs at a shoot. They flew me out to California for this Chipotle shoot interviewing the draft prospects. When I tell you, he was the most polished interview I've ever had. And I've talked to, I don't know, at this point, 50 NBA players and athletes in the world. He was the most polished guy. A lot to be desired. But you get to the defensive side of the ball. He gave it his all. And you mentioned him. You mentioned Marquell. You mentioned Jonathan Isaac, who eventually we hope is gonna play basketball someday. You mentioned Wendell Carter. The defense is about to be there. And at the end of last year, on my channel, I said if I was going to pick a team that I think will have the biggest jump going into next year, this is before the first overall pick. I picked the Orlando Magic. It was between them at Detroit. Detroit has a lot going on there as well. But I picked the Orlando Magic before Palo. And I'm just super excited to see if that's going to be true. Would you guys be disappointed if somehow you did end up only winning like 22 games again this season? Or do you guys set the expectation higher now? Kenny, if we win 22 games next season, fire the coach, the front office, trade everybody, start over. Yeah. This team was so injury riddled last year. Jalen Southern's missed a ton of time. Cole Anthony missed chunks of time. Towards the end of the season, the Magic were trying to lose games. So Wendell missed some time as well. Marquell Fulton only have him for 18 games. Jonathan Isaac misses the entire season. If this team is anywhere near relatively healthy, this team should not be anywhere near 22 wins. Like 30, I would be like, okay, the season didn't go perfectly, but that's understandable. But we are expecting that if everyone is healthy and things go right, we should be at least flirting with the play-in come March and April. We might not make the play-in, but you should be playing for something those last couple of months. Yeah.  You look at the East last year, was it Charlotte like 41, 42 wins as the 10 spot? That's, if the match would go from 22 to 41, that's ridiculous and you don't see that very much, like the Knicks of a couple of seasons ago who made that huge jump and that's really as rare as it really can get. So I don't know that that happens, but if it's 22 wins, it's over. Like we're, the podcast- I'm about to argue with my co-host here on Kenny's show. I love it, I love it. Luke, wouldn't you agree though that if this magic team, even before Paolo last season was healthy, 30 games easily. Yeah, healthy. So 30 to 41, isn't that big of a jump? 22 to 41, I get it. Let's get the context here. J.I. and Markel both healthy. Markel not on a 20 minute restriction either, playing 18 games. Absolutely, I think this team wins 30. Kenny, we're over in magic land, right? And we say it so many times, like we are biased, obviously. We do a magic podcast. We only own magic jerseys, like that's what we do. We record twice a week, of course, we're biased. It would be boring if we weren't. But so to ask you Kenny, do you think the magic, do you have expectations? Have you thought about the magic at all in terms of what this team looks like fully healthy in terms of how big can that win jump even be? So yeah, I do have some expectations, but with that said, if they are disappointing in a way, I'm not really upset about it because the court is so extremely young. Paolo year one, window card in what year five at this point. So I have my own personal expectations, but losing in this season, don't seem like a bad thing considering how deep the 2023 draft could potentially be. Little Paolo, Victor Webby and Yama, you know exactly that. I honestly, while that would be great, Kenny. No, I don't want that. Going through this last season and the last few, as long as we've done the podcast, right? Like it has been, it is miserable. This last year was miserable to be like, man, you ready to record tonight? I'm like, nah, not really. Let's talk about this 15 win team at the all star break. Yeah, right. So I don't know. Like obviously the reward would be great, but we got burned by the lottery so badly, even two seasons ago, they're getting the fifth pick. It was kind of like, do we really want to do that again? I'm not a believer in the lottery, even after getting the first pick, even after the magic have an incredible track record of the first pick, right? I mean, you've hit on every first pick you've got. So I just, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if I want to put myself through that again. Fellas, I appreciate you stopping by to talk some Orlando magic. Let the world know where they can find you. So yeah, you guys can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, at six man show. You can find us on YouTube, youtube.com slash the six man show and just want to shout out our listeners that vouched for us on Kenny's channel here to get us on here, but we are like internally grateful to Kenny and everything that you do. Thanks for bringing on small creators for this massive fans of yours. Just keep doing what you're doing, man. It's been a pleasure. Thank you guys.


Hi everyone, Joe for JaspiesCaseRakes.com. We did it. We knocked out 2021 Panini National Treasures Baseball. Thank you very much. Two box, pick your team number 26. And we marked 26 on the two boxes right there. So we know they're from the same case. Big thanks to the people who bought their teams straight up. So Steven ended up with triple last bond mojo. So he got three teams all at once before we pulled the remaining teams for those random number block randomizers, which we did in separate videos. Here's the first one featuring those four teams right there. And here is the other one featuring some more teams. Now let's see what we got inside. Good luck. All right, good luck, Aang. Thanks very much for making this happen. And let's see what we got here. We got no Cindergarten. Metz edition 57 out of 99. Starts starting things off. That's part of the number block group. That's going to go to, if you're not familiar with how this works, we go by that digit right there. So Metz seven. That's the need for Zach. Next is 13 out of 49. Nelson Cruz. This is Tampa Bay edition. Tampa Bay, TJ Leonard with the raise. Got Joe Morgan, 40 out of 99. Houston edition. That's Astro zero. Houston zero is going to be for Lonnie. Ooh, nice patch here. Tecopito Marcano. Three out of 10. Nice patch, nice autograph for the Friars. That's part of that New York group, the New York Yankees group. So that'll go to Padres three. That is Stephen Kay. Got Ryan Jeffers. Three out of 99 for Minnesota. That's for Steve Locke and his twins. 24 out of 49. Daniel Johnson. Two color patch and autograph. That's Adam with the tribe. Cleveland, this is for you. A tribe of guardians. Next is, wow, nice. The top of the logo right there, the halo. 10 out of 10, Joe Adele patch and autograph. This is going to fit into a 180 top letter. Let's find out. What does a one of one look like if a 10 out of 10 looks like this? Fit better into a slider box. Nice Joe Adele, who's got the angels.  I think he's struggled in the earlier this season. I think they sent him down. But I think he's raking in the minor, so he's kind of has to figure it out. He's right on the cusp. But a very nice hit, Craig. All right, let's see what we got here. Good luck. We got legends, duels, silhouette, Robin Yant, Cal Ripken, eight out of 10. That's pretty nice.

I got a question for you. Hey Lauren, I got a question for you. How on earth did you end up being the only man in the house with four women?  Get a draw. There you go. Oh my goodness. That's for all the great years of this. I can't help but imagine. It's a question in disguise. Oh I believe it. How are your daughters doing? They're doing really well. As a matter of fact, my oldest daughter, it's her first year in college this year.


In your tweet, what exactly did you mean by saying ecological violations can be addressed legally, lynching large businesses is economic suicide? See, if there are pollution violations in an industry, first of all, these violations can only happen simply because the government department concerned with that aspect have not dealt with it properly for whatever reasons.  And in case, even after proper handling, if there are violations, there must be a legal recourse in the country. We are an independent nation, this is our India, all right? This is our Bharat. This is not pre-47 situation, this is 21st century Bharat. So here, I believe that people should not go on street to solve problems. There must be other democratic process to handle this and otherwise no other democratic process operates well, then there is a legal recourse and that's about it. For everything, if you start going on street, you're killing people, young people, 13 people dead. Isn't there… is somebody going to bring them back by doing more protests and glorifying this? This is not going to happen. You have killed people on the street. You can say, who killed the people? That's not the point. The point is we are creating situations again and again where young people keep dying. In Pune, somebody dies, in Tamil Nadu, they die. In so many places, continuously it is happening simply because we are not conducting ourselves as an independent nation, which is a low-abiding nation. That is the most important thing. And above all, businesses, I was not even talking about Sterlite as a thing. Whatever the Sterlite issue, the government can look at it, but instead of looking at it so emotionally, if we look at it sensibly for any business, we are trying to make this nation into a nation where everybody can benefit and four hundred million people who have not eaten properly, they can eat in this generation, not in the next. In this generation, if this has to happen, economic progress needs to happen. If we keep closing down business after business because we find something wrong with it, what is wrong must be addressed. For a thorn in your foot, you can't amputate your foot. That's what we are doing. There is a problem. Tell me, please. A few years ago, the Supreme Court had fined Sterlite hundreds for the fee. The government in its business has found the plan to be violating many environmental norms but have a major health impact on the people living around it. Are you tactically asking for the reopening of the bill through the fee? It's not like the dark has firmly objected to pay. This is not the time to talk about the uses of proper. We should address the two police firing and the killing that happened there. I have not asked anybody to open any plant. I'm saying why is not the government departments taking care that this pollution doesn't happen and if it did happen, you have fined them and you want to close it down, you close it down or you see how to treat this pollution whichever way. The important thing is people should benefit from the business. The businesses are not created to destroy people's lives. But what I'm talking about is 13 young people are dead. Now you can blame somebody. All I'm saying is we are creating a situation where we are trying to solve our nation's problems on the street. Because of that, people are dying. So this must go absolutely. So when I said by lynching businesses, you are affecting the economy of the nation, for sure it is true, who can deny that? About a specific… about a specific event like Starlight, it is in the wisdom of the court to decide that if they have decided to close it down, they close it down. It's perfectly fine with me. What have I got to do with Starlight? And at the same time someone else made some other comment and they are mixing me with that. That's not the point. The important thing is this in our nation because this is our country. This is not an occupied nation. This is our country. We must sort out our problems democratically or legally, not on the street. This must go as a culture. So you are not asking for the reopening of the plant at all? I never did that. I don't know who made it up. Because your statements feel like a tacit attempt or a plea to open the plant. I have not said anything about opening any plant and I was not even talking about Starlight per se. Starlight was brought up by somebody. I was saying, essentially in the last two years, not only in Tamil Nadu, in various parts of the country, many major businesses have been closed down because somebody protests. Who is going to invest in this country if we keep on doing this? So before giving sanctions for such a plant, should we not have looked at the pollution aspects of it, whether we want it or not want it? Why do we allow them to invest and then close it down? Why couldn't we just tell them we don't want this plant? Right. What is your message for Vedanta groups, sir? The government says they have found major violations. The local community says they suffer from health, political issues including respiratory problems and cancer. See, for an industry, one thing is it serves the nation, another thing is they're making profit. So it is for the law, the lawmaking and the policy makers to decide whether this is worthwhile enough to have. Why should we ask Vedanta whether it's worthwhile enough? It's a business, they try to make profit, we should not even ask them. The laws in the land must decide whether we want this or we don't want this. Why should we even ask Vedanta? It's not for them to decide. It's for us to decide, but I'm saying these decisions must be taken properly, not after investment. Before investment, we must take it. Now this disaster has happened, so I made a comment saying that let us stop this mode of operation because this can… this spreads around the world and nobody will want to invest in our country. That should not happen. Is this in the interest of… the… interest and well-being of the people of this nation? Definitely not. Two spiritual gurus, you and Ramdev are simultaneously backing us. Not… not… So you can say that corporate being backed by you, how do you respond to that? That's unfortunate. I did not have any contact with Baba Ramdev in saying this. I was asked a question by a television anchor and I said that. And unfortunately, the timing that Baba Ramdev said something similar, but he was talking specifically about Vedanta, I was not talking specifically. I was only saying this mode of operation is going to hurt the nation. I have nothing to do with any particular industry or corporate, but it is just that I think I made that very clear in my tweet. It is not about a particular corporation or a political party or anything. This is about our country. We have to change the way we sort out our problems. This is very important. Right. And how do you see the way the Tamil Nadu police and the Tamil Nadu government handle this protest in Chutipurin, the police firing, 12 people were killed in the police firing, 13 people locked alive? I… I really do not know the details of this situation. I am sure there must be some kind of investigation about this. So it's not for me to comment because I do not know. All I saw was I saw pictures. I was not in the country, I saw pictures on the television channels where buses are burning, vehicles are burning, people are running all over the place. Why is this happening to our country still? That's what bothered me. Why are we still living like this as if we are ruled by somebody else? Why isn't there a proper way of doing this and then 13 young people die? You can glorify it as much as you want but people have died and people have died, that's all the fact is. It's very unfortunate that such a thing has happened. But there must be a proper investigation as to who botched up the whole situation. Why couldn't it be managed peacefully? I do not know the details of it, so I wouldn't like to make a comment on that. Lovely. You first tweeted and then you sent two more tweets clarifying that you didn't mean so light and you also came down maybe on the way the people that brought to the streets and many got killed. Was there a kind of a second thought in your mind which made you make a U-turn of thought? There is no U-turn at all, I'm continuing the same thing. There's one more tweet I think which has gone out just now, you can see it. There is no U-turn, I'm still saying the same thing. Even to the NDTV I'm saying the same thing. I'm just saying before any industry starts, let's figure out whether we want such an industry in our land or not, in our state and in our country or not. Once we've made that decision, if in case we find we've made a mistake, let us see how to fix it by loss. It doesn't work by a legal recourse. This is how the progress of any problem should be handled, the solution for any problem should be handled. Every time because nobody responds to anything people come on the street, when people come on the street things go out of control for whatever reasons and all you have is loss of life and property.


Ukrainian partisans discovered military base of Russians in occupied Holivka. Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar partisan movement agents from the Atezh group have identified an active personnel base of the Russian armed forces in the temporarily occupied city of Holivka in the Donetsk region according to the Atezh partisan movement. It is noted that initially the partisans observed a checkpoint with a patrol. The entire territory is guarded by a sentry. Most likely there is a multi-level security system for the headquarters. The search for military facilities and concentrations of personnel in the city continues. Coordinates of the object 48.308051, 38.028426, the agents of the movement stated. Ukrainian partisans are searching for objects on the occupied territories preparing for war. In particular, agents of the Atezh movement are gathering information about the locations of Russian military units, equipment and ammunition depots and reporting it to the armed forces of Ukraine. Recently partisans infiltrated the territory of a former ammunition depot in the urban type settlement of Nobuzena in the temporarily occupied Crimea's Yevpatoria district. They discovered a Russian command post with equipment. Partisans also identified a mercenary from Serbia among Russian military personnel in the temporarily occupied Zankoy. Recently, the underground documented the loading of Soviet self-propelled artillery units to S1 Gvazdika on the railway in Yevpatoria.


Hey everyone, Jack Curry here, and yes we're here, and I'm joined today by Paul O'Neill and Paul. I have two quick questions for you. The most important one is how are you doing during the quarantining, but the second one after you answer that is I need to know what's going on with the painting behind your head. I've been quarantined in my zoom into my daughter's bedroom and as you will notice, this lady was looking at me last week. Now she's turned her back against me, she's had enough also, but we're doing well. The family is doing well.  Everybody's doing well, following all the rules and regulations that we have to follow, being smart, being disciplined, and hoping for the best for everyone, praying for those people who have had some issues within their family. Our thoughts are with everyone, but I wanted to have a baseball music conversation with you because we've had these conversations over the years. I'm going to start baseball and I'm going to start kind of at the end. I remember sitting in the press box, like game five, 2001 World Series, and Yankee fans as the game wore on started to realize this is the last time we're going to have a chance to show Paul O'Neill some love. They showered you with so much love and Paul O'Neill chance that I think I recall you saying that it was hard for you to concentrate on the game. It was weird because you're standing in the outfield and it's a World Series game and then in unison you start to recognize what's going on in the crowd and no player ever dreams of that. It was a remarkable thing and at the time you remember, we're losing the game. This is a World Series game, we're losing, so what are you going to do? Sit and do cartwheels and tip your head and right field while you're losing, but as it progressed and it went on it was unbelievable. But then the ending of that game even added to it because it was one of the most exciting games I was ever a part of and those three home games to me are what I remember in that World Series. I'm sure you reflect on a lot of moments in your career when you give yourself a chance to think back. Where does that one rank? You've won World Series titles, but to let 50,000 people sort of shower their love on you, very few players get that. I remember it happening with Mattingly in 95, but you got the similar attention. Yeah, it's something you're not ready for.  The only time you ever practice that is when you're five years old in the backyard and you in your mind put yourself in the major leagues and people chanting your name. So I got to live something that I practiced for when I was four or five years old in Columbus, Ohio. I've loved the by play sometime in the booth between yourself and Michael K. When you talk about 1994. Now, obviously 1994 had a bad ending for everyone. The season was never completed, strike short and season. But during that year, you had a hitting season for the ages. You ended up hitting 359, but you carried a 400 average through the middle of June. There's actually the 63rd Yankee game of the season. That's a big chunk of the season to carry an average over 400. What was going so right for you that year? I just think that, you know, the year before I hit over 300. So in my mind, I was a 300 hitter at that point. And I had worked on a leg kick with Rick down. And I think everything just kind of came together. I got off to the phenomenal start. And it just, I just knew when I was going up there, I was going to have a great advantage that year. And I think you remember the stories time and time again. I hated to talk about hitting this or that because, you know, if you get too many things going on in your head, it just, I wasn't able to play. And I would always say, you know, hey, it's early, it's April, it's May. I said, let's talk in June. And I don't know if you remember, but I showed up in Anaheim. And all of a sudden I walked in and I looked over at my locker. I'm like, why is everybody at my locker? And it was June and I was still hitting over 400. And and I told Michael, OK, I really appreciate it because that after that, I went like over 22 or over 23.  And that was just going up and playing. I've got evidence of what you're talking about late May 1994. I'm not sure if you could see this. I printed this out. An article I wrote, the headline was 400 talk, O'Neill takes to walk. You didn't want to talk about it. You thought that talking about it didn't help you at the plate. And I actually respected that and appreciated that. Well, it just, you know, there are some players that can categorize their days and they can talk about the game. They can do that. Derek Jeter to me was probably the best of it. I mean, he could do a photo shoot. He could do a luncheon. He could do this, but it was seven o'clock. He was ready to play baseball. My whole day was like scheduled. I mean, I ate breakfast at the same time, lunch at the same time, dropped the kids off at school, did this, so I had a routine. And if I got outside of that routine, I was kind of messed up. And it was just easier for me to stay on that schedule and, you know, kind of get ready for the game because I used a lot of mental energy. You look back through those three hours of the game. You know, it's interesting, I dug up some other stories and about a week after the work stoppage, I called you and did a phone interview with you. And if the words could jump off the newspaper slash the page, you were so distraught. And I wanted to ask you about the fact, well, first of all, it's baseball coming back. But also, do you think you won a batting title? You had a two point lead at that point over Albert Powell. And you said, there's no season. You play to get to the playoffs. You play to win a World Series. And if we didn't finish the season, I'm not even sure that that is a batting title. I'm not sure you remember that conversation, but what were your feelings when everything was stripped away at that point? Well, I mean, you bring back some memories because I remember sitting in the living room and watching Bud Sealy's go on TV and say that the season has been canceled. Because when we went on on that break, we had total intentions and even Mr. Steinbrenner said, stay in shape this and that. I mean, the intentions were there to finish the season at some point and go on to the World Series. And to me, 94 was such a fun team because it was just starting to turn around. And, you know, we had a lot of things going on in the right direction. So yeah, that was one that was kind of taken away from us. And a lot of people were basing this year on that year because of the work stoppage. And but, you know, this to me this season will have an ending where that season had a great beginning but had no ending. Right. I remember how distraught everyone was when you packed your bags and left mid-August. It was either August 11th or August 12th, something like that. I just remember how upset everyone was. I wanted to transition right now into some music and I wanted to play a little game with you that a friend of mine played with me. Benny Horowitz is a drummer. He was a drummer for Gaslight Anthem, very successful New Jersey band. He's now in a band called Mercy Union.  He said, take a baseball player and then who is that baseball player in the music world? I'm going to start out. He asked me Derek Jeter and I at first I was a little stumped and I said, I have to give this some thought, Benny. And then for me, a guy growing up in New Jersey, I said, wait a second. I've got it. For me, Derek Jeter would be Bruce Springsteen because it's a fellow Hall of Famer. It's an icon. It's someone who was beloved by fans. Jared Boschnak, our producer, who was a little younger than me, he said Jay-Z.  Who is Derek Jeter in the music world to you? You know, it goes back to the first time. I remember, gee, we were in spring training and he was on deck. And, you know, he was very proud of the music that he picked out. And at that time, a Will Smith sing song came on and it was Get Jiggie with it. And I looked over at G and he was kind of grooving to it. And I'm like, gee, what does that even mean? Get Jiggie with it. So that remind me. I think G has a little more swag, a little more style than Springsteen. I know you're, you know, a Jersey guy, so you got to get Bruce in there. But to me, I would say that he's a little more up tempo. So I would kind of say like Will Smith and maybe even a touch of Justin Timberlake. How's that? I like both of those. Those are really good choices. And this is a fun game to play. I want to hit you with a couple more real quick. So Mariano Rivera, I'm going to give, I'm going to give mine first. I think Mariano has to be up on a mountaintop somewhere as high as possible because that's who he was in his career. So again, I was stumped and I started to think Elvis. But I said, wait a second. Elvis was all swagger and all movement and camera on me. That wasn't Mao. So then I came up with, and I think this is a good one, Carlos Santana. I like that. I like that. I was going to say, you know, when you think of music and you think of Mariano, you think of Enter Sandman and Metallica. But that does not go along with his persona and his personality. So I'm going to go more laid back. That boy's smile that he had and go like Bob Marley. Oh, now you're hitting me right here. I like, I like that a lot. I wish I had thought of that. I got one more for you and have a feeling you and I, we might be simpatico on this. I'm actually going to let you go first. Wait a second here. Now I haven't had a word like that in a while now. Same plane. We're thinking in the same lines. Don Mattingly, who would be your musical accompaniment for Don Mattingly? Yeah, that's kind of a given. I mean, he's an Indiana guy. I mean, it's, it's got to be Mellon Camp. And it's just John Cougar Mellon Camp.  That would have been my choice as well. You've met, well, you've met Mattingly. You play with Mattingly. What was it like to have the chance to speak to Mellon Camp? And I think at one point, didn't you even get on stage? Yeah, I did.  But I got through the song, unbelievable thing. Another big music thing. Oh, I got to play a sound check with Billy Joel's band in Madison Square Garden. I'll never forget hitting my kick drum and just hearing that boom in Madison Square Garden. That was as cool as it gets. So this is a great segue and a great way for me to end this because Benny Horowitz is a drummer and I leaned on him for this. And I said, Paul is a drummer. Who would be your musical accompaniment for Paul O'Neill? And he gave me two people. He gave me Liberty DeVito plays with Billy Joel, which has to be perfect for you. But then he also gave me one apart from the drums. He said Bob Seeger. And I think that's a really good one because Bob Seeger is one of those guys. When you look at his career, you kind of forget how good a career he had. I think you're right in that same point with his career you put up. Well, I appreciate that because Bob Seeger is one of my go-tos.  And some of the drumming that goes along very basic and simple. But sometimes you'll get into a song where it's something a little more complicated. Kenny Arnop with Melanchempe is also phenomenal. But I appreciate the Seeger thing. Those are good memories. All right. I know how much you love music. I've now given you a game to play other than name that tunes, which we all played in Tampa as we were down there for Spring Train. Paul, this was a lot of fun. I'll talk to you soon. Jack, be well.


Today I'm going to be giving you 10 of the hottest drop shipping items to really kick off your 2024. As always, the products that we're going to be talking about today aren't good only just for January. They're good for February, March, April, May for the entire year really. But this is when they're going to start trending. This is when these products are going to start picking up some traction. So you want to make sure that you get into the game early. You want to make sure that you're offering these before anybody else. Now to go along with this video, we're also going to have our product cheat sheet. And if you want access to that, just go ahead and comment down below. January 2024. And let me know which one of these products is your favorite. Once I see that you went ahead and did that, I'll reply back with a link to the sheet. Did you know that most babies statistically speaking are born between the months of July and October? Pretty fun fact, right? Well, I know right now you're probably thinking, what do I care? I either don't have kids or my kid was born in a completely different month. Well, the reason I'm telling you this is because this correlates directly with our first product, which is the kids constructive eating plate. Yeah, I actually have one for my kids. So the reason I brought up the statistic at the beginning is because by January or February, most of those kids that were born in July are going to be between six to seven months. Kids typically tend to start eating with a fork and spoon around 10 to 12 months. Now I know it's kind of early, but if you're a parent, then you know already that it's good to prepare early for these kinds of things. As a parent, you like to get things early beforehand, so that way when the time comes for whatever it is, you're not rushing to get things ready. And getting ready for certain milestones is something that a lot of parents are very big on. So if you take a look at the Facebook ad, we can see that it's actually a very short one. It's only nine seconds and it's super simple. It just shows the kids eating and it shows how they can actually play with the plates and with the fork and spoon. It's pretty much showing how it can make meal time, just a lot more fun. Now I see that he has the little pusher thing, which I only have these two. So I think my son lost one, but it's all right. But aside from that, the ad itself is super simple and honestly, for something like this, it doesn't need to be overly complicated. Just show how it's used and just show a kid having fun with it. And right there, that's all you need. So taking a look at the ad itself, let's go over it really fast. So it has over 14,000 likes and loves, 4.3,000 comments and 2.6 million views. That alone tells you that this ad is working. And like I mentioned, simplicity works with something like this. So let's take a look at the seller's website. This is Moonlight. Is that what it's called? Moonlight bees. Moonlight bees. I think it's called. That's a weird name. Yeah. To be completely honest with you, I'm not a huge fan of that name. I could barely pronounce it. Moonlight bees. So taking a look at the website itself, we can see that the color scheme is, I mean, it's just there. It's nothing special. It looks cute. You know, the logo itself really doesn't have anything to do with the webpage itself. So this can tell me that this is probably a generic dropshipping store, which checking out all products, it totally is. Now scroll down a little bit. We can see that they have the different styles or the different variations. Honestly, I wouldn't call it style. I would say maybe sets, but they have the three forks set, the one that's just a plate, the full set, which brings the three forks and the plate and the free shipping and save $10. Oh, two full sets. That's actually a really good way to be able to upsell and to increase your average order value, try to offer a better package than somebody else will by being able to sell multiples. So as you can see here, they're offering free shipping and you're able to save $10 if you buy two full sets. So scrolling down, we can see the images over here are actually pretty good. They're high quality. They're not blurry. This gift right here is good. It's part of the advertisement images are kind of everywhere. I'm not a huge fan of that. I don't like when they have pictures literally around the entire webpage, just like they do here. For me, it's better to have the images up here and just be able to click through them. It makes the website a lot less cluttered. It makes it easier to navigate and it just makes it a lot more user friendly. But aside from that, you keep scrolling, you have a little bit of information here than a ton of images on the side, a couple here, a little bit of information and same thing all the way down. Pretty much your typical drop shipping website. Aside from that, though, if you scroll down, I want to see you might also like. Okay. So I mean, you might also like these if you're purchasing the plate set, none of these really have anything to do with it. So all right. So let's check this out first. Let's go ahead and take some information. So we have the full set. Now, our full set is going to cost us $39.98 and enjoy free shipping on all orders over $59. So this doesn't have free shipping. So let's add an extra $6 more or less for shipping. So in total, we can sell this for about $45.98. Now, let's see how much we can source it for. So let me show you how we're actually going to look for the supplier in this case. Now, for this, I have an extension installed and it's this one right here. It's called AliExpress search by image. It makes it super easy to look for different drop shipping products that you find online. And what this does is it actually specifically searches AliExpress. If you want to install this, all you have to do is just go ahead and Google AliExpress search by image, and you'll have the link to install it to your Chrome browser. But once you have it installed, all you have to do is simply hover over the image that you want, right click it and search AliExpress by image. Now, it'll take you to this website where you have a bunch of different images that look exactly for more or less kind of like the one that you just searched for. So here we can see all of these are listings on AliExpress and we have different price ranges. You can see this one has a dollar ninety four. This one's about eight dollars. This one's just over eight dollars. I don't really ever go for the cheapest one, but this one actually has a pretty good welcome deal so you can get it for about thirteen dollars and eighty five cents. But the regular price is fifty four dollars and that's not going to work. So let's go back and see what else we can find. So after searching a few of the different images, I found this one right here. And what this has is two different sets. So for one, they'll sell you the fork and spoon and then they'll sell you the plate separately. But all in all, it actually does not come out to be that expensive. The utensils come out to five dollars and four cents and the plate comes out to five dollars and seventy one cents with a shipping fee of six dollars and seventy seven cents. Now, let's see if they combine the shipping or if you have to pay two times the shipping. So in order to do this, all we're going to do is go ahead and add both of them to our carts after they're added to my car. I'm just going to go to my car and over at the shopping cart, we can see that the subtotal is seven dollars and forty two cents and the shipping fee is ten dollars and seventy four cents. So our grand total comes out to eighteen dollars and sixteen cents. So let's do some profit analysis really fast. And we can sell this with shipping for forty five dollars and ninety eight cents. Now, remember, this is the set. This is going to include the plate and the utensils. So now let's go ahead and subtract eighteen dollars and sixteen cents for our prices. And that gives us a profit potential of twenty seven dollars and eighty two cents. That's a pretty good profit for a simple plate and fork. Now, as for Facebook ads targeting, whenever we're running Facebook ads or a TikTok ad for this, the demographics I'm going to give you are all suggestions. You can tweak them however you'd like. But these are pretty much the most optimal suggestions that we can give you to attract the right audience. So for one, you're going to be targeting both males and females. Reason being is because both males and females can be parents. Age range is going to be between the ages of twenty five to forty five because those are the parents that are most likely to make these purchases because for the most part, these are going to be the ones with the younger kids. As far as my ritual status, it can be both single and married. But when it comes to interests, we're going to be looking for people that are interested in early childhood development, children's activities and kids dining. Next up, we have a bath mat and I know you're thinking right now on bath mat. That's it. Well, check out this magic bath mat. So here we're at the Facebook ad. We're going to see exactly what this bath mat does. So taking a look at the Facebook ad, we can see that it comes in a few different variations. I have no idea what she's doing there. Pretty much all they're showing is exactly how it works. So the magic in this is pretty much that it absorbs all water. So you're not going to have any water trails. You're not going to have a wet floor. Everything stays on this bath mat. And honestly, they're doing a pretty good job at showing it. Pretty easy. All you have to do is just simply spray some water on it. It's pretty self explanatory. Now taking a look at the seller's website, we have Cozy Nest. The logo itself, I think, looks pretty nice. And the actual name of the logo, Cozy Nest, it kind of does go with the bath mat. Not necessarily directly with the bath mat, but when you think of Cozy Nest, you might be thinking of being warm or being cozy at home or in your nest, which is actually pretty relevant to this product because this is a home good. This is something that's used in the home. So it goes pretty well with it. So they're kind of going with the theme here. Now they have the super absorbent shower mat. It's running for $20. And I like this right here. They have a star rating and they're letting you know that they're 60 reviews. So right off the bat, they're telling you, look, this is a good product. Here's the social proof. Here's a proof that people are purchasing this and that they're liking it. So right off the bat, they're giving you a reason to make the purchase. They're building your trust. Then they give you the different variations. They have the different colors and they only have one size, which is the 40 by 60 centimeters. Now this has free shipping on all orders. So let's take note of that really fast. We're selling this bath mat for $20. Scroll down a little bit. You can see these different high resolution images. It's pretty much all the same thing, just with different colors. And this one actually looks pretty cool. It says shower on it. But scroll down, you have the little trust badges telling you that they have worldwide shipping. You have a money back guarantee and a guaranteed quality. You have some information on the product itself. It's eco-friendly, the reviews and pictures. This is spot on. I like this website. I think they did a great job. It's simple to navigate. Everything is pretty well placed. It's not overly cluttered. And overall, it works. It looks good. It has the images here on the side like I mentioned earlier. Has the information that you need on the right. And then it has all of the reviews. Perfect. Now let's jump over to AliExpress and let's see how much money we can make. So they have the orange and they have the blue. Okay, this is the one that we're gonna go for because this is the one that we were actually looking at in the website. So these are all running for $6.84. Now the reason that I'm going here with the original price, but on these, on the actual drop shipping websites, well not this one because this one's not on sale. But a lot of times here you're gonna see maybe $18 and regular price is $20. I'll go for the $18 rather than the 20. The reason being is because most drop shipping websites, if not all of them, they're always gonna say that the item is on sale. It's something that's used to kind of build a little bit of pressure in you.  So if I don't buy it now, I'm gonna lose out on a great deal. So that's really just more than anything of marketing tactic. Now when it comes to AliExpress, I always go by the more expensive price because a lot of the times this price right here turns out to be a welcome deal. Sometimes you can only use it once.  So I just try to be conservative and I'll keep it at the higher price. And who knows, if it doesn't go back to the regular price and it just stays at this 335 forever, then that's just more money that you're making. But let's pull out our handy-dandy calculator and now we have $20, which is what we're selling it for. So from the $20 that we're selling it for, we're gonna subtract $6.84. Then we're also gonna subtract another $2.91 for the shipping fee. And that gives us a profit potential of about $10.25. Now taking a look at the Facebook ads targeting, I'm not gonna be mentioning anymore whether it's for both males and females because I feel like it's kind of a waste of time. And honestly, some of these are kind of obvious. For the most part, they're all gonna be males and females unless it's a female or a male-specific item. In which case, you can still target both depending on the time of the year because let's say for Valentine's Day, you can target men for women's items because men are looking for these items to give to their wives, to their significant others or to their partners or their girlfriends for this particular holiday for Valentine's Day. So at the end of the day, honestly, depending on what you're going for, you can target both men and women. It's really just gonna be up to you. As far as the age range for this, we're gonna be going for 25 to 55 because for the most part, these are the people that already have their own place, whether it be an apartment or a house. Marital status is gonna be single and married. Again, this is gonna be just like the gender.  And as far as interests, we're gonna be looking for people that are interested in bathroom accessories, home decor and home essentials. Next up, we have a picture hanging tool. And looking at the Facebook ad, we can see that all they're doing is, again, just like most others, showing you exactly how it's used.  It also has a level and they tell you straight up, no more guessing on where you need to place the nails for whenever you wanna hang up any frames. Other than that, the rest of the ad is pretty much the same, just being used for smaller or larger items and that's pretty much it. Pretty simple, straightforward, straight to the point. Let's check out what people are saying about it. It has 18,000 likes, 1.8,000 comments and 1.8,000 shares. How funny, 18, 18, 18. Now, I need this, Gil, you would love this, a tag, nice. This is clever, nice, love it and pretty much just good comments down the board. So let's take a look at the Sutter's website. Here we have goods Nova and just by that name, it's already telling me this is a general drop shipping store but then again, this is a pretty generic item. So they have the picture hanging tool and it's holy cow, $70 is what they typically sell it for supposedly, but it's currently on sale for $25 and 99 cents. So let's take out our handy dandy calculator. Let's do $25 and 99 cents. Do we need to pay for shipping is my question. So it looks like we do need to pay for shipping so let's go ahead and add $6 to this. So in total, it's gonna be sold for about $31 and 99 cents. Now, this is for the basic one. So this is just gonna be the picture hanging tool and it's not gonna include the accessories box. So if you take a look at the website itself, we see due to high demand handling this will not arrive by Christmas. It's kind of late already so it's kind of obvious but then to give you a few gifts, some information, pictures, information. On the side, they have the images, all high quality, which is nice. So they're not throwing too many pictures at you or making the website too overly cluttered. This is actually pretty interesting. It's a little bit different than some of the other ones that we've gone through because this right here is static, which means it just stays without moving and this on the side actually moves. So this is pretty clever. It's pretty nice. It's a pretty different way of setting up your store or setting up your website. But other than that, I mean, honestly, this on the side kind of just looks like every other drop shipping website that we've been on but then it gives you reviews. Okay, so this is good.  So let's check out on Autodesk.com the actual item. Okay, so on the Autodesk marketplace, we can see that it's being sold. One of them is being sold for $5.77. You can purchase more and get a bulk discount but for this we're just looking at one. So this is gonna be $5.77 with a $5.31 shipping fee. So as far as our profit analysis, let's go ahead and subtract the item cost, which is $5.77, then let's subtract our shipping fee, which is gonna be $5.31 and that gives us a profit potential of $20.91. Now for our ads targeting, we're gonna be targeting people between the ages of 25 and 55 with interests in home improvement, DIY and wall art and framing. Next up, we have one for the ladies and these are gonna be a pair of winter leggings. Let's check out the Facebook ad. So all they're showing is pretty much how they're used, what the material is, how it could potentially feel, what they could be worn with and it's pretty much it. Just telling you that it looks good with literally almost anything that they wear and that it could be worn with almost anything. Simple straight to the point. Now taking a look at the seller's website, we have Maluku or Maloku. I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce that but it looks like a pretty generic website. Now as far as the price, they're selling it for $16.06. Use code 10% to get 10% off. Doesn't look like they're offering free shipping so let's go ahead and add shipping to that. So we have $1606 with an extra $6 for shipping. So in total we're gonna be selling this for about $22.06. Now the website itself says hurry up just a thousand of these left in stock. Honestly, this does not make me wanna purchase it anymore. Maybe if it said, hurry, there's only 10 left in stock, maybe a hundred. Then you can say, oh, you know, they can potentially run out of this really fast but a thousand. Then they have the style which is the pantyhose or the step foot. As far as color, they have three different colors. Images are all pretty high quality, nothing blurry, nothing pixelated. Scroll down a little bit, then you have it goes perfectly with any of your favorite outfits. And it's supposed to have an image here but it didn't load correctly. And then just like the other websites, it's just a little bit of information, picture a little bit of information, picture. And a review. So one suggestion I'm gonna give you is if you don't have any reviews or if you only have one review, there's a lot of apps out there that can let you either create your own reviews so you can create maybe three or four different ones to get a little bit more social proof or if you want more authentic reviews which is the way that I would go. There's also a lot of apps that you can install in your Shopify store that can help you import reviews. So it'll take the reviews from your supplier's website or from your supplier's page, whatever it is. Let's say you're shopping on Aliexpress, it'll take the reviews from there and it can import them to your Shopify store. If you want access to that, all you have to do is on the Shopify app store just look up review importer and you're gonna have a ton of different options. Now as for the supplier, I am giving you an option of multiples because honestly, these are leggings. Leggings you can find literally absolutely anywhere and it's best if you find one that's a bit unique. One that can stand out maybe whether it be in looks, functionality or just overall how it feels. So what you can do is on Aliexpress, you can simply search up thermal stockings or women's fleece tights, maybe pantyhose or leggings with another key term being for winter. So anything that you search for, add winter. Now let's take a pretty generic look to this. So let's check these out, thermal stockings. So these are being sold for $3.42. This is actually really cheap, but these are new. So they launched in the last 30 days which could be why they're priced so low. So let's see another one. So after a bit of digging, I found these. These are being sold for $6.58 with $2.62 for shipping. So let's go ahead and subtract that. So let's subtract $6.58. Now let's subtract $2.62 for shipping and that gives us a grand total of $12.86 as our profit potential. Now it's important to note that when it comes to an item like this, a lot of times people are not gonna order just one. They typically order these in sets whether it be two, three, sometimes even four. So while these $12 is a pretty good return, it can be even better if you're able to offer these in different sets or in sets of multiple. Now as for the target demographic, for this we are gonna specifically target females between the ages of 18 and 45 with interests in travel, winter fashion and leggings. Next up we have the Cozy Cat Cave. Now for this, we're gonna go to the Cozy Cat website. And honestly, I think this website is fantastic. The logo goes perfect with the theme of the store. The store is obviously geared towards cats. So this is a specialty cat store. They're niched down to cats. Now they have the hot product low stock. This is pretty good. I like how that looks. Cozy Calming Cat Cave. Unfortunately, they don't have reviews. This is where one of those apps that I mentioned earlier can come in handy. It can provide social proof. So they're selling it for $49.99. Let's go for the large. The large is $69.98. So I'm gonna go ahead and do the medium. So we're gonna have $49.99. Do they have free shipping? Free shipping, yes. So they're selling it for $49.99. Now as far as the images, they have some pretty good high quality ones. Except for this one, this one's a little bit blurry, but it's all right. They have two different variations in terms of color. They have a size guide, which I think is great. Anything that can help your customer make a decision especially with different sizes is fantastic. Scroll down, they have GIFs, information, information and a few pictures. Now I don't like at all the fact that everything is on the right and there's absolutely nothing on the left. It doesn't give the website a good balance, but it keeps scrolling down and that's pretty much it. Aside from this right here, the empty space, I think everything else looks pretty good. At least, you know, the top half. Now as far as the supplier, we're looking over again at AliExpress and here it's being sold for $12.55. Typically, it's gonna be $14.10. So let's go ahead and subtract those $14.10. Then let's subtract our shipping fee, which is $6.97 and that gives us a grand total of $28.92 in terms of profit potential. That's a pretty good profit. Now one thing I don't understand is why the seller did not include the blue and the pink, especially considering the fact that their website is blue. Now in terms of Facebook ads targeting, the age range we're gonna look for is people between the ages of 25 and 55 with interests in cat owners, pet accessories, and pet care. Up next, number six, we have the self-heating jacket. So here it says, sorry, bro, I can't go out. My jacket's not charged. That's an interesting way of starting off a video. It's definitely attention grabbing, but pretty much what they're showing you is exactly how it works, what they meant by it's not charged, it's waterproof, that it has a backup battery in it, which is actually something pretty cool, that you can even charge your phone with your jacket. Okay, that's pretty cool. This ad is fantastic. I love it. I know people are saying about 1,800 comments. Not bad at all. It was posted in October. Right now we are in December, so it's been two months. I might get the jacket is laying too. I'm not sure what that means, but broke out the jacket from back to the future. You could probably fry an egg on it. So overall the comments are pretty positive. Now let's check out the seller's website. We have PuffTech. They're selling it for $99.99. Supposedly it typically runs for $274. So it's 64% off. But like I always say, let's go with the lower amount and let's do $99.99. Let's check out the website itself first. So far the color scheme I think looks fantastic. It's red with black, which really goes well with the jacket itself, the heating elements being red and the jacket itself being black. The website, I like the font. I think everything actually falls together very well. It's very clean. You have the size, the colors, the quantities. Oh, these are clickable. That's pretty cool. You have some facts. So what's included in my purchase? How long does it work for? You have a few different images, all of which are pretty high quality. They look good. Scrolling free battery with Black Friday deals. Black Friday did just end. So one thing they might want to do is update this. Maybe take off the whole Black Friday thing. Maybe just put, I don't know, holiday sale. They have a sizing chart, which is great. And then they have images, gifts, a bit more information on the product itself. And overall, it's a very nice website. I think it flows very well. It's very fluent. It is easy to navigate and it's not overbearing. It's not over cluttered. Now on Unexpress, we can see that it's running for $14.24. Regular price is $34.98. So right off the bat, I'm already telling you, this is a pretty good item. This is gonna give us some pretty good money. So let's subtract our $34.98. That's giving us a profit of $65 and a penny. That's probably the best profit that we've had so far. $65 on one item is a pretty high ticket item. And honestly, if you have anything in your store that's winter related, if you're selling winter related clothing or anything like that, don't sleep on this item. This one can make you some good money. Now, who are we targeting? Well, we're gonna be targeting people between the ages of 18 and 45 with interests in outdoor enthusiasts, camping and hiking and adventuring. Next up, we have a women's snowshoe. So the ad is pretty simple. Honestly, there's not much to it, it's shoes. So they're showing you what the shoes are made of, how easily you can put them on and that they use a strap. Aside from that, they're showing you the features of it, like on the bottom, which is anti-slip. They're pretty flexible, so they're easy to walk in and they're just overall showing how they look. Aside from that, that's pretty much it. So the ad itself is pretty simple, straight to the point, no time wasted. I like that. Scroll down, 24,000 likes. I'm not the only one that likes it. 24,000 other people do too. 6,000 comments and 8,000 shares. Now these are in a different language, so I'm not even gonna try to pronounce those, but the reactions speak for themselves. So here we have Gallon, new waterproof boots. Waterproof, I would go with maybe cold proof, snow proof, you know, people aren't necessarily looking for waterproof in this case. So they're selling it for $39.80. Are they offering free shipping is my question. So here we have free shipping, so we're good on that part. So it's only gonna be $39.80. Now scrolling through the website, we can see they have the different sizes. These might look a little bit better as a dropdown box, but just being able to select them on here, it works. Same thing goes for the colors, quantity, size chart. That's good, they have a size chart. Now all of the images are pretty high quality, but I feel like they're overbearing you with the images on the left hand side. So maybe keep a main image with clickable ones on the side. Aside from that, they have a flash sale. Then they have some information on the product itself. Couple more pictures and that's about it. Then they have the customers we also bought add on, but that's about it. Now let's take a look at the supplier. Now one thing you're gonna notice is the ad that we showed here isn't necessarily the same shoe that we're selling here, but they are very, very similar. And that's one thing that I need to point out. Don't always go for selling the exact same item as everyone else. See if you can differentiate. See if there's different variations that you can offer. Some that can be a bit more unique than others. So that way they can help you stand out. But these are running for $8.60 and they have free shipping. So let's see some of the other ones, $11.60 for these. So in general, they're going for $11.60 instead. So let's take into consideration $11. So 39.80 is what they're being sold for. Subtract $11.60 and that gives us a profit potential of $28.20. Now for our ads targeting, we are gonna be targeting women in this case between the ages of 18 and 45. Interests are gonna include winter fashion, travel and winter sports. Next up we have some snuggly, cozy socks. And honestly, I think these are super cool. I'm probably gonna get these for my wife. So these are going for $29.95. And as you can see, they are simply just a pair of socks. Some really long socks that look like they could be from a little bear. These are super cool. I wish they sold these for men, but really overall, they look like they're really comfortable and like they would be something that's extremely useful during the winter season. Because sometimes even though I live in South Florida and it's never really that cold, the times that it does get cold, we're not really used to it. So we're freezing. But aside from that, you have the title Snuggs Cozy Socks. Then they have the star rating, which is 4.9, 224 reviews. This is good right here because just like one of the other ones that I showed you earlier, they're giving you social proof and the reason to purchase it right off the bat. They have a testimonial here by far my favorite purchase of the year. Some information on the actual product itself. The savings, so by one pair for a price, two or three for a discount, some information, the sizing guide. And I can already tell that the rest of this drop shipping website is gonna be fantastic. So they have a GIF on the right, which is simple and straight to the point. It's just showing the socks, some information on the left, some reviews, some more pictures and information on the product itself, a comparison chart, which is pretty interesting, some more GIFs that show you how easy it is to put on, some more information and reviews. Anyway, this website is fantastic. It looks like this was professionally designed and it really builds trust in your customers so that way they can make the purchase. If you can't make a website like this, I feel you because I'm not good at designing, especially when it comes to websites.  It's not gonna look this nice. If it's something that you're struggling with. One thing that I do suggest is going to a website like Fiverr.  So you're gonna find a huge variation of different prices. So you can find some beginners and you can find some experts that have some pretty varying prices that will really help you out in actually building a Shopify store. These people can help you in building out your website and making it look professional. So here we have $29.95 for our product cost shipping info. Let's see, we offer free tracked shipping on all orders. So perfect. So they're already including shipping. Now let's check them out over at AliExpress. They're selling them for $3.67. Regular price, $6.92. So let's go ahead and subtract our $6.92. Then let's subtract our shipping fee of $7.08. And that's giving us a profit potential of $15.95. Now this is one of those products that again, you can make more money if you sell it in sets or if you offer bundles. As far as our ads targeting, we're gonna be targeting women between the ages of 18 and 45 with interests in winter fashion, travel and winter sports. Now this next one, I'm pretty sure you have all seen and it is a mushroom humidifier or an aroma diffuser. So what this TikTok ad is doing is they're simply showing you an unboxing. On top of that, they're showing you exactly how it works and looks to be pretty much it straight to the point. And yeah, I mean that's pretty much all there is to it. It's pretty good, I like it. I like the fact that right here, they show you the different colors that they have available and it's actually showing dripping the water. Another thing that I like is the fact that the quality is good. It's not blurry, it's not pixelated, the lighting is good. A lot of the times when you take a video of something and the lighting isn't too good, the overall quality is gonna drop. In this video that is not at all the case, so let's check out the reactions. It has 311,000 likes, which is a lot. 51,000 saves, which is an immense amount. And over 1,000 comments. I want, that's cute, cute, aroma diffuser. Okay, that's a cozy thing to have in my room. Totally is. Need, POV, yeah, POV, I don't know what that means. And a bit more. So overall, pretty positive comments. Now let's check out the website. Tim's Goodies. Okay, that's pretty good, that's not that bad. You can tell that from this that it is a generic store and they sell a little bit of everything. But I like the fact that they call it Tim's Goodies and not some random name out there. As far as the color scheme, the white with the little beige and green looks good. The images are pretty high quality. They look good as well. Everything here looks good. They have pictures of the items themselves in use, different colors. Now, they're selling it for $68. And supposedly 21 people are looking at it right now. So let's go ahead and take out our calculator.  They have free shipping over 50 pounds and this is $68. So this should be over 50 pounds. Keep scrolling down then, just like some of the other ones. This big white spot on the side that I really don't like. And just images and information on the right hand side. Then they have their reviews. All right, the website itself is all right. Honestly, just like one of the ones that we covered earlier, the top half looks good. But then when you start getting down to the bottom, it's just too empty. Now, as far as our supplier on AliExpress, they're selling it for $11.96 with free shipping. So let's go ahead and take our 68. Let's subtract $11.96. And we have, whoa, a profit potential of $56. That's really good. That's a pretty high profit potential, especially for such a generic item. But then again, it's a humidifier. Humidifiers actually provide some sort of value and people spend money on humidifiers. I remember I used to go to this store called Bye Bye Baby and we needed to buy a humidifier and we purchased one in the shape of an elephant and it cost I think like $90. So $60 for something like this is totally doable. So when it comes to our Facebook ads targeting, we're gonna be targeting people between the ages of 20 and 45 with interests in wellness and self-care, air quality and technology and gadgets. And last, but certainly not least, this is my favorite product from this entire list and that is the self-stirring mug. Let's check out, I was gonna say the Facebook ad, but let's check out the TikTok ad. So people still use spoons, then they show you how it works. Press a button and the mug starts to stir itself. Link in bio. So here's one thing that I'm gonna note about this. This ad is straight to the point and I love it.  It's like, ah, now I have to wash one more thing. I know, I know, call me lazy, but it's, I just don't wanna do it. So something like this is absolutely fantastic.  That's it. Now let's check out the comments. It's got a lot. It's got 156,000 likes, 3,000 comments and just under 9,000 saves. All right, so let's take a look at the seller's website and here we have Milky Spoon. Now, as funny as it is or as much as of a coincidence, this name, Milky Spoon, actually goes really well. That's a huge zoom right there, but the name and the logo go really well with the product itself. But funny enough, when I go to shop, it's pretty much a generic drop shipping store. So they sell a little bit of everything. But aside from that, the color scheme looks pretty good. I think this part right here, the landing page looks good. I don't know, there's something about it that just makes it look pretty easy. Then you have the cost being $19.97. Apparently it's not sold in stores. You have the different colors. You keep scrolling, you have a description on it, a little bit more information and that's pretty much it. I like that.  I think it looks great. Now one thing that I would change on this is the self-stirring mug itself. I don't like the fact that it literally has a huge sign on it that says self-stirring mug. Just leave it blank or maybe add some other design or just put it a color. I don't know. I don't like the fact that it just says that. So try offering some different variations with some different kinds of looks. Now let's take a look over at Aliexpress. And we can see that it's being sold for $6.37. So let's subtract $6.37.
