Hey, we're live so Welcome all you YouTube viewers and Anybody who's following along with us live on IRC I'm Brian Davis from the Wikimedia Foundation, and I am going to give a little tech talk today on How we use cabana for at the foundation to view log data that we collect from various applications So a little over a year ago I gave a talk on the elk stack that we use for debug log aggregation and visualization at the Wikimedia Foundation Elk is the shorthand term that elastic search be v coined to describe the combination of Three of their open source projects Elastic search log stash and cabana and in the slide here. We've got just a little bit about each of those so elastic search is a Full-text search engine on top of Lucine Makes using Lucine a lot nicer than using Lucine directly for programmers point of view log stash is a pipeline processing system that Basically takes takes data in one side lets you run it through several kinds of filters to change it and then puts it out the other side into some sort of storage or output system and Cabana is a browser based analytics and search dashboard Built to work on top of elastic search. So In our usage of the elk stack and the typical usage of the elk stack Data is ingested by log stash Processed around dumped out into elastic search and then cabana gives a nice web interface to To view that that data so Since my talk last year there there've been a few changes we have quite a few more applications sending their logs into the system and We've we've made some changes in how we process things in the middle of log stash To get a little better normalization between log events that come from from separate applications But the most end user visible change has been that we upgraded from cabana version 3 to cabana version 4 so We've got two main elk stack deployments here at wikimedia foundation the first is hosted in our wikimedia labs project as part of our beta cluster testing environment and The front end for this is found at log stash beta dot WMF labs dot org and The second deployment is in our production network and access to the production cabana front end requires authentication with a with a username and password and proper group membership in in our backing authentication system And we have to do this because there's some potentially sensitive data such as IP addresses collected from from our users in here So we can't just let everybody look at the production logs But the beta log system is open to anyone so you can you can go and fall along or play with things there So I'm just going to do kind of a basic tour of the cabana for user interface And I've got some screenshots Basically that that I'm going to walk through that I took of our beta cluster instance So when you first visit log stash beta you will see this a brief loading screen and then This default dashboard that we've created This dashboard shows some information about all of the log events that have been recorded into the system and At the top it's also got kind of a handy list of links to Other commonly used dashboards So on the just just here on the left hand side below the logo That says default. That's the dashboard name So if you click into one of those other dashboards like Apache or Hadoop It would say that name there instead of default to help you tell what you're looking at Up in the upper right hand corner There's a little display of the time range that the dashboard is currently showing And if you can if you click on that you can change the range That click will open up this this panel of preset time ranges that you can quickly switch between We actually only keep 32 days of log data in our elk clusters so some of these Build-in presets like the 60 day 90 day etc. Are not really useful for our logs, but they'll work You'll just only see things up to our our current retention period There's some some little Laws and jizz I guess on the left hand side here for Besides the quick for relative and absolute where you can you can put in times in in a different way So the relative range is Like last five minutes last hour There's a there's a box that you can type into there, and then the absolute gives you two calendar pickers for a start time and an end time and When you're when you're done after you've changed your time or decided that you don't want to see this anymore You can click that little up arrow There in the gray bar at the bottom of the panel to close it So back back at the primary dashboard interface There's a big text box here that allows you to inner search terms This these searches are done using elastic searches query string query language You can look up the full details of that online When the slides are posted they'll be a link there, too, I think in the slide It's a few quick tips That that are useful here are that if you Want to search for a phrase for something that you know a couple words. They're separated by white space You can surround your phrase in in double quotes to get it to hold together and find all the parts contiguous when it's searching for things and The other potentially surprising thing here is That the search terms you enter are or together by default. So by default if you type Foo space bar, you'll get anything that mentions foo and anything that mentions bar Not just things that mention both and you you can use the keyword and And it needs to be in all capital letters like it's shown on the slide there To do a search for foo and bar that would find any any log events that contain both of those words rather than either of those words Just just to the right of the text input box, there's a little magnifying glass icon This does double duty as both the search and refresh button And it took me a while to to realize this actually the old cabana 3 had had a dedicated button for Refreshing for catching up to the time window But in cabana 4 you just hit the search icon again Most of our dashboards don't automatically refresh So after you look at them for five or ten minutes Things things will have changed on the back end and you might want to hit the magnifying glass to see how that's going The next icon we have is a little document with a plus sign in it and this Gives you a brand new blank dashboard to start working from if you want to build a new dashboard Most of the time if I'm making a new dashboard I actually start from one of the existing ones. That's that's similar to what I want to to make it Similar to the dashboard I want to make Instead of starting from a blank slate Mostly just because staring at a blank slate can be a little intimidating That the next icon is the little floppy disk and this will open the save dialog If you're trying to make a new dashboard by editing an existing one You need to make sure you change the dashboard name or when you save you'll overwrite the one you started from which is probably not what you meant to do and On the back end on the storage side Dashboards aren't versioned. So if you save over an existing dashboard, the old version is lost this This can take a little bit of getting used to for some of us that spend a lot of time on the wikis where it's always easy to reset things to to a known good revision, so When when it pops up the dialogue that says are you sure you want to save over something think think for a second before you do Next icon we have going across from left to right is File folder icon and this is where you go to load a save dashboard It'll open up a panel that lets you search through the list of Save dashboards and and pick one to replace your current view pretty simple stuff The next one is the share icon, so It's icons a weird little arrow pointing out of a box, I guess that's that's what the kids these days think means share And this will let you get a shareable URL for the current view of a dashboard that you have so if you've added things in the search bar or maybe Click some filters or change the time window some things that we'll look at in a little more depth a little bit later Whatever you have showing on your screen You can you can hit this share and get a link so that you can you can get other people to be looking at the same dashboard you have Without having to save it like permanently as a named thing so if we click on it, then we get this dialogue box or the panel opens up and One of the things you notice here at first if you look at that share link line is it's got a really long pile of a whole bunch of stuff The actually the whole dashboard in all the search terms and everything is Encoded in that URL So typically these are way too large for a copy and pasting into IRC and other Places like that where you you want a short link but we can get a short URL here by Going down and clicking those those two arrows that point together. That's the the generate a share a short link I Con and when we click it then the share a link will change down to something much smaller That says like go to slash and has some sort of like MD5 kind of looking hash Now you've got a nice link that's easy to share on IRC That's a handy tip Back up the the dashboard screen we've got circled plus sign icon and this opens a panel to Find a visualization Visualizations what cabana calls the different widgets that are shown on the dashboard and and add it to your current dashboard So this this is a little bit different than the way that things worked In cabana 3 where you defined new widgets from the dashboard itself In cabana 4 is that the visualizations have to be made already Using the the visualize section of the navigation and then you plop them into your dashboard Once you get used to it though, this is this is actually a little nicer than the cabana 3 system so with with the cabana 4 system the single a single visualization that's that's made and stored is is actually shared across all the dashboards it's used in so you can go back to the visualization itself and You know tweak some settings on it make it show more rows or fewer rows or change the colors or whatever And then that will actually update across all of the dashboards Just kind of nice and To the far right we end up with the the last little easy navigation icon here Which is the gear and that opens the options dialog? In the version of cabana that we're using the only option that there is is to change the dashboards color scheme from light to dark So you probably won't need that too often, but that's where you find it a lot of the dashboards that we have created have a Histogram visualization near the top so this is like a a line or Bar graph that shows how many log events are seen in each Time bucket across the the period that's currently currently being viewed and one of the one of the nice user interface Features here that that not everybody catches on to you right off the bat is that you can click and drag on this To zoom into a time window so instead of squinting your eyes down and saying like oh, I think that interesting peek starts about 1755 you can just Click your mouse and drag out a highlight box around it And when you let go it will change the time window and zoom you into that section of the graph So in addition to the dashboards There's a discover section up in the in the upper navigation so if we Previously here, we were on the dashboard tab in the upper middle and now we're on the discover tab in the upper left and discover is Kind of just a generic search screen and it always shows this this histogram at the top and then a table of result output below it and you can then play with the the query bar using the same query language that the dash the dashboard screen does and This is useful to Save Something that they call a search so when you save a discover screen It's called a search and then this can easily become the basis of a new dashboard so let's This one I had a hard time figuring out how to do slides for so I'm going to try the infamous live demo We'll see what happens here. I'm going to change the window that I'm pointing to So now we're on a Here's the discover screen live and this is this is looking at our our beta cluster logs dash version So you can see the timeline here the the click-and-drag to highlight We can zoom in on what was happening a couple minutes ago and Hey, there we go. See see more detailed resolution about what events we're going on We can go down here to change the The table that's that's here showing things right and by default it'll show you the time and underscore source which is just like a blob of the full result of Any log event we can make that a little prettier by telling by Using the navigation on the left-hand side to say that what we'd really like to see besides the time is the type field and The message which is kind of like the most basic information And then we can go through here and we can see like okay, there's a whole bunch of stuff about syslog events like hmm, I don't think I'm really interested in looking at syslog events right now, so I can drill into a particular log event and see all the various fields that we've got parsed out in it and One of the fields that I can find down here is the type and I can then Choose to filter so that I only show things of this type or that I Filter out this type. So let's let's filter out the syslog type And see what happens to our graph so we got a lot fewer events showing up now and We've got media wiki as the primary type So that's kind of how we can drill down into some things. Oh Yeah, this is so the filters actually show up up here as little Laws-inges read for filtering things out and if we filtered one in like if we decide that we want to only see media wiki events Green for filters include filters And then you can remove filters if we're filtering for only media wiki, then oh only meta wiki Oh, I'm only looking at things from wiki meta wiki anyway So that's kind of some of the fun things that you can do there Depends on what you're going after how How much you're going to want to tweak the the table layout Besides being able to see that all the columns on an individual event here you can also If if you need it for something get to the raw JSON backing data that's stored in the elastic search for each event and Didn't go too horrible for a live demo Let's go back to the slide deck She's here Yeah Yeah, so you can totally Let's go back let's go back and show that So if we're on Let's let's get back to a kind of clean slate here So if you know the name of this is this is part of that the query language if you know the name of of a field like type you can put it in with a colon and then After it put the what you want the value to be so You put type type media wiki in there and hit the search button and Boom there we go. So now we're filtered down to just media wiki. So this this is the same On the back end this does the same functionality as if we drilled into a log event and click the little plus magnifying glass next to An event that had type media wiki I'm Trying to remember I'm almost sure that there's a way, but I don't remember how to do it how to put one in That actually shows up as a filter itself, but what you can do If you get some filter up there We'll filter by this channel message cache You can actually go in and one of the icons when we hover over Particular filter is an edit thing and we can actually Change it there So this this is getting pretty esoteric into how Elastic search queries work, but you could actually change this one to be from pinning us to things that say message cache to things that say I'm not gonna guess another channel See if I guess Off manager if there's anything happens Oh, here we get to find the the cool thing that happens when you make your filters too narrow that it comes and says like I can't really find anything. Maybe you should figure out how to refine it Yeah, so you can you can either do it with the clicky things or if you're you're doing it in the query language itself You can do and not Something Like let me find something that we cannot out Okay, and not panel That's a cash So, yeah, not something. I think you can also do I think you can also do like Pluses and minuses in the query language. Let's see if this comes back with about the same results Yeah, so you can you can do a plus type media wiki and minus channel message cash sort of thing and if you browse around and look at the dashboards you'll find some dashboards, I think especially the The exception log dashboard A couple of those we'll have we'll have those negative filters that get rid of of noisy messages that we don't typically Care about looking at when we're drilling down into stuff Hopefully that and answered Andrew's question All right, let's see where were we at back in slide deckland, I think I think you guys are almost done with me here I'm gonna change Slides there was our live demo slide. What do we got next? Oh, okay. So this is kind of a cool thing That's that's new since we we talked about this whole logging stack last year So we have this HTTP request header called the x wikimedia debug header that you can send in with with an inbound request to the the production media wiki servers That lets you do a few things on the slide here You can You can tell the request to be directed to a specific back-end server There's there's just a small list of them, but you can pick I think there's like four or six right now, but you can pick which of those which of those servers that that your request goes to Which can be very interesting and useful for like a live debugging session where you've Got a a non publicly released patch or some extra logging Lions put on a one of our particular testing servers When this headers at present varnish our front-end varnish caches will also Never cash the output and never give you a cash response. So you always get to talk to the back-end server in Even if you're browsing as an anonymous user Which again is is useful for live debugging And then you can you can enable some kind of feature flags You can enable verbose logging which will log To to both our elk stack and to our flat files on Florene All of the log messages like the full debug level firehose level of log messages that happened during the request that carried the header You can also ask for Profiling data to be made and then and then put up in in a dashboard that we have in a different tool that we have for looking at profile traces and The third kind of cool feature flag that you can turn on is that you can tell the wiki to act as though It's in read-only mode to simulate a locked database Which can be useful for tracking down certain kinds of bugs So there's a page on wiki tech about this that you can go read more about like the completely gory details of it So how do you use it you use it as an HTTP header which you can do with curl you can say curl-h which sensor header x wikimedia debug back-end equals one of the available pooled back-end servers And I think the behavior is if you write something in there, that's that's not on the white list you get pinned to one of the particular servers as the default And then those feature flags go in as as semi colon separated things. So there's log and trace and Read-only and again on that wiki tech page. It'll give you the the full syntax deals details of those But we've also made browser extensions for both Firefox and Chrome That make make using this easy for for just a normal person in their web browser. So you install these extensions from from your respective browsers Extension repositories And and then you get a these handy little dialogues that let you Turn turn the extension on and off make it active or inactive and then control what what header gets sent through and one of the really neat things for both of these related to this this cabana talk is that if you Enable the verbose logging Actually, even if you don't enable the verse post logging just when you have it on but the verbose logging gives you more interesting things Both of them provide you with a way to drill into a An ex debug dashboard that Picks up the request ID from From your brother your browser got back from the server in its response and go to just view all the log messages that That came in from your request So this this can be super handy when you're trying to track down something Some weird bug in in production that you can reproduce on the testing servers Then you can you can use this to capture a full trace and then get Get a nice dashboard to search around for it Right quick question from IRC again Have you established a way to correlate code releases or other events using the annotation marks in the cabana UI? You know we had one In in cabana 3 we had we had a way to do it So we have we have a log event channel That records all the things that SCAP which is our deploy tool does and in cabana 3 you were able to Overlay that on the histograms and show like nice vertical lines that when when SCAP was changing files on the cluster in cabana 4 Or at least the particular version of cabana 4 that we have that ability went away That they don't have a way to combine multiple data sources on the histogram like that And I haven't looked yet so As is the way with open source software things things move pretty quickly and We've we've been on cabana 4 for I know three or four months now But cabana 5 is out now and I haven't gone to look and see if it brings back a nice way to make annotations visible or not That would be a nice feature to get back It's one of the things that I miss from from what we had for cabana 3 There you go. Like I rambled enough to get Joel to say that was good I think We are at the credit slide I sped read through it in 35 minutes. All right, so Yeah, elastic search cabana log stash and and all their logos are Registered trademarks in various countries. I just used them here for the purposes of identification And Awesome I picked the wrong one so much screen share fail We find it That one says desktop to you. How about that one? That's probably the slide I wanted people to be seen Thanks, Rachel Yeah, so CC by essay 4.0 on the On the slides and we'll get the the slides in the video up on Commons as soon as we can Probably if we got any more questions from IRC Take that as a no, I guess The YouTube delay is always hard to deal with though when you get to this part Yeah, I think we don't have any further questions. So thank you so much Brian. That was excellent. I'll see you all later


Work from home jobs is a pretty hot topic. What's happening guys? So I've been researching some of the highest work from home jobs available. And for me, the stoke level for this video is incredibly high because due to the recent antigen, a lot of people are looking into remote jobs and work from home careers. And I know what you're thinking. You're probably like Shane, perfect timing with all the stuff happening in the world. I never want to leave my house again. I had a feeling you'd say that and that's why I looked into the videos that were available on this subject and I was pretty disappointed.  Not all of these are good options. But in this video, I'm gonna go over work from home jobs that won't be a huge waste of your time and you might actually be able to make pretty good money from them.  Or if you want to, you can travel the world and live the laptop lifestyle. Let's jump right in with number 10 on the list, which is going to be online tutoring. And this is one that I have a lot of experience with. I did this during college. So during college, I had to take this test in order to get into pharmacy school. It was called the Peacat and that stands for the Pharmacy College Admissions Test. I spent a ton of time researching the best ways to study for this test. I checked out a bunch of different products and did a ton of research and studied a lot and I ended up doing really well. A bunch of my friends that were also in pharmacy school wanted to know how I did so well on the test and so I basically for free just shared the information with them that I had learned. After a while, a lot of people that were outside of my friend group that were still on the pharmacy track and they were going to take the Peacat also wanted to know how I did so well on the test. So I started charging for my time and eventually I ended up charging over $100 an hour to tell the people the right resources to use as well as the right way to study for the test. So this was a win-win situation for both parties involved because it took me hundreds of hours to figure out the best resources and how to spend time on studying for the test and I was able to save them both the time and the money in figuring out what to study and also spending their money on a bunch of products that they didn't really need. Now there's a ton of other different examples of tests that you could tutor people on. You've got the SAT and the ACT that you take right before you graduate high school for instance. The key here is to have specialized skills or specialized knowledge that other people want to learn from. Making cheesy references to different memes and pop culture, yeah, that's basically my only skill. But it's not just tests, you can tutor people on all kinds of different subjects. For instance, if you know English, which you probably do if you're watching this video, you can tutor people who not only want to learn English but they want to learn the American vernacular. A lot of people want to learn this because of the fact that business is becoming so international and people want to be able to communicate with Americans. Now there's many websites out there, such as QKids or Cambly that you can get started with this sort of thing on. If you're really good at something that a lot of people aren't very good at, like say math for instance, that's another one that you can tutor people on and of course all of this can be done over Skype or Zoom very easily. Number nine on the list is going to be a support specialist and this is going to be someone who is either a customer support specialist answer the phone or maybe you're even doing phone sales. Okay, so you're probably thinking that you don't want to do a job like this. Nobody grows up thinking that they want to be a customer support specialist when they grow up but the reason that I included this one on the list is because this is one of the easier ones to actually get a job in. It's also extremely flexible and you can do it just about anywhere that you are. A good example of this is kind of this weird channel that I followed for a couple of years now where this girl basically just lives out of her Toyota Yaris. She just drives all around the country in her little Toyota Yaris and she like sleeps in it and she just lives out of it. And she did one video where she talks about what she does for a living and she was a customer support specialist. She just wakes up in the morning in her car and she just starts answering phone calls and answering emails right away. Now obviously most of my viewers are not going to want to live a lifestyle like she does. It's kind of weird but this just goes to show you how flexible this type of job can be. Now you might be thinking that these types of jobs have all been outsourced to other countries and a lot of them have but that's not entirely true. Many companies want Americans to do the customer support because that does end up increasing the overall customer satisfaction. Now for number eight, the next one on the list, imagine that you're at a party, you're having a good time, someone walks up to you and they ask you what you do for a living and you reply, I'm a qualitative data search engine evaluator. Number eight on the list is going to be a search engine evaluator. So there's a ton of different apps that do this. They generally pay between $12 and $15 an hour and I'll just read a few of them off to you. There's Lionbridge, Appin, Isofstone, ZeroChaos and there's a couple more and you're probably asking yourself what the heck does a search engine evaluator do? So search engines like Google and YouTube have a bunch of different algorithms that they use to make sure that whatever you're searching for that type of content is going to be relative, high quality and of course useful. Now they do a relatively good job of this automatically but there are some types of content out there that they have to have actual people review. If they don't do this there's always going to be some errors because as smart as AI is getting it's still not going to understand the nuances of pop culture for instance. So this is where the search engine evaluator comes in. Let's say that someone is interested in seeing if Beyonce is pregnant they might type into Google Bay Preg. An algorithm is not going to automatically know what this means unless it has some level of human input. Now most of these companies prefer hiring Americans if the algorithm is working in the United States for instance because we understand the nuances of pop culture and just the culture in general. Now it's a pretty cool job and on top of that about 60% of the time girls will be impressed by your job title. 60% of the time it works every time. Next on the list is going to be finessing your way into becoming one of Mr. Beast's friends. Just kidding but if you go in this direction it is possible that you could work with Mr. Beast someday. Number seven on the list is going to be a remote business related career. So I have a lot of friends who went to business school and they got business related degrees and out of all the different types of degrees and careers there's three that have done pretty well during this whole quarantine pandemic thing and those three are basically health careers, technology related careers that are remote and then business related careers that are remote as well. Now of course not all types of business related careers have done well. There are many out there that are not remote and some of those people unfortunately got laid off. But overall the ones that have done well during this pandemic are people that were able to do their job remotely and you'd be surprised how many of them are actually like this. I have a friend who works in the finance industry for instance and she has a nine to five really good job and when all this happened she was really scared but it turns out that her job was able to be done remotely and she is basically just chilling at her parents house and she's working a normal nine to five schedule like nothing happened. Her career didn't skip a beat at all and she was surprised at the fact that she could do pretty much everything that she was doing before but all of it remotely. Now it's hard to say how much you're going to get paid doing this. There's so many different careers out there but I can give you one example. Product managers for instance are responsible for the planning as well as the execution of the life cycle of a product. They make around $135,000 a year. There's 286,000 jobs available and it's growing at 8% which is much faster than average. Now I do have to say that remote jobs generally will get paid a little bit less than their non-remote counterparts but oftentimes it's not as much as you might think. Number six is going to be the online version of your current job. Now on that same vein of business related careers there's actually remote versions of a lot of different careers as well. And you're probably thinking Shane there's no way that I could do my career online. That's just not an option. And until recently that was probably true but recently jobs have become more and more location independent. And no this doesn't involve bribing your boss, selling your kidneys, selling your kids or selling your kids kidneys, none of that. So take a pharmacist for instance. So the image that you have in your head of a pharmacist is probably someone who works in a retail pharmacy, maybe a grocery store for instance and there's no way that that job could be done remotely, right? Actually several friends of mine, people that I went to school with are now pharmacists that do their entire job remotely. What they mostly do is verify prescriptions, take calls and then call people in order to set up different medication related therapies. There's also a lot of opportunities out there for medication evaluations and counseling online as well. And it's definitely worth a try to talk to your boss about it. Maybe you only end up getting a few days a week out of the office but that would still be nice as well. Number five on the list is going to be social media marketing and digital marketing. Now with this one you can expect to be paid over $25 an hour and this is another one that's gotten really big in the last few years. Now more and more businesses are needing to have an online presence and what they really need is young people to create their content, do their digital marketing as well as running ads on different platforms. Now as you can imagine this is of course a type of job that you can do from home. Now there's a ton of courses online that'll charge you like $19.97 in order to teach you how to do digital marketing. I really don't recommend that you have to take up any of those courses. You can check out some free stuff here on YouTube or you can maybe do a Skillshare course if you want something that's a little bit more packed in. And after doing that, after trying it on your own for a little bit if it's something that you really enjoy doing then maybe you can purchase a more expensive course. Now many of these courses will try to teach you to do contracting basically where you charge the company maybe $5,000 a month in order to do their digital ads. But it's really difficult to get these types of contracts especially when you don't know what you're doing already. So what I actually recommend is trying to become an employee for different companies and doing digital marketing as an employee. And then after that you can try to do some freelancing on the side if you want to. Speaking of freelancing, number four on the list is going to be freelance work. Another great option is to do freelance work on sites like Upwork. Now this is by its nature an online job and there's a lot of really good opportunities out there. Now I recommend if you get into this one that you choose something that pays really well. So for instance, if you're a programmer consider learning SQR which makes around $170 an hour. If you're a marketer consider learning about lead magnets which makes around $150 an hour. If you like to make videos consider learning about video processing which makes over a hundred an hour or maybe if you're a photographer you can try to go into food photography which makes over $95 an hour. I think you get the idea here it's all about supply and demand. The key is to look into whatever market that you want to enter, figure out where the opportunities are and then learn the skills that you need in order to do that specific thing that people need. You really want to specialize in one thing and don't do anything else. The biggest mistake that people make is they try to be a generalist and they're like, oh I'll do anything related to graphic design for instance and that's a huge mistake because people will not value your skills. Now freelancing is a great business model and a lot of people do start off as freelancers and then they move on to the next business model which I think is even better. Number three on the list is going to be consulting. Now this one varies a lot but a lot of the time you can make over $100 an hour. So like I said, a lot of people start as freelancers and they do really well there and they get to a certain point where they have enough work that they can't really increase their income because the only way that you can increase your income is to either work more hours or increase the price. And there's only so much that you can increase the price and still stay competitive on the market. So the business model of freelancing is basically done for you where you do some kind of service for someone else. For consulting, the business model is done with you where you teach someone how they can do that service themselves. Now as you can see, this is a much more scalable business model because of the fact that you can create courses, you can create videos that teach people how to do whatever skill they're trying to learn. Now as with freelancing, you want to specialize in something that has a lot of market value. Again, it's all about supply and demand. Number two on the list is going to be web development and this one oftentimes will make over $35 an hour. Now according to BLS, web developers are making $73,000 a year, there's 160,000 jobs available and it's growing at 13% which is much faster than average. Now this is a type of job where you can get paid pretty well and you don't actually have to have a degree in order to get your foot in the door. Now there's a ton of different types of web development out there. So again, you want to specialize in something that has a lot of demand and a lot of people start off as web developers and then they move on to the next one on the list which is going to be software engineers. Now software engineers oftentimes can make over $50 an hour very easily and I made a video where I argued that it's a good idea to get a computer science degree and I kind of went over all of my logic in that video. CS graduates tend to make more money and they tend to rise to higher positions within a company and software developers make $105,000 a year on average and that's with 1.3 million jobs available and it's growing at a ridiculous 21%. However, the truth is that there's so much demand for these types of skills out there that there's no way that the computer science graduates could meet all of that demand. And because of that, many people are able to break into this industry with a different degree like maybe a math degree or a physics degree or in some cases no degree at all. And there's no way that the 9,800 computer science graduates every single year are going to fill up the 1.3 million jobs available. And that's a fact. Thank you for watching my video.

Testing out these new shoes today from Ira alright, so I'm going to the gym gonna warm up with dunking But not really dunk just jump a little bit test out the shoes test them like there he is Not much bro Jim time Yeah, bro. You want to be in it? Breakthrough gaming big Fendi Okay, yeah, man down here. What's your name bro? Steven Dunn Steven Dunn. Oh, we got a clever We're making moves Hey, so besides that interrupt interruption usually people are pretty skittish about the camera But you could tell they're youtubers because they just came right up to me. Anyway, great to meet you boys I'm always I saying oh, so I'm lifting today I got a little down because I jumped low yesterday compared to those guys and I did a lot of the same dunks But looking backwards it was a good day for me on 10 feet because I haven't done that good on a low day on 10 feet So and the two sessions before I did really well So it's just I got to remember that one bad day doesn't mean I'm doing bad It's just it's really hard on the low days because you always want to do well and progress every day But I've had two really good days in the past. So I got to just stay on track and I'm healthy So I can get back to fully training fully lifting. So that's what I'm doing today. Even though I just dunked yesterday I'm just too aunt and too antsy to get back into it. So back to heavy lifting. We'll see how today goes I'm gonna dunk a little bit just to warm up test up the shoes But just kind of get my body ready to lift and then hit the frickin wait Maya. Let's go


When I use Google Docs, it just works. And so how do you approach quality when building a product? Is it doing the little things right, or do you have some directing principles that you always have to keep in mind when building a product? Yeah, so that's a really good question. And I'll tell you, that is a constant battle, because quality is somewhat subjective. And the bar changes depending on the value you're providing. In other words, the willingness for people to put up with things. So I think this is actually a really important thing, is the other benefit we had being at Google was we were building for scale from day one. We weren't building in a way that would be something that we expected to have to rewrite it. But if I'm going to start up, I would gladly take speed and give up some long-term scalability and say, let's just get this thing out there. And if we get, OK, and if my engineers say, OK, it can take basically, call it 100 QPS, or 1,000 customers, I'll say, great, let's do it. Put it out there. When we start hitting 800 customers, let's start rewriting it. Let's start scaling. But we don't even know if it's a good idea yet. Whereas at Google, once we knew it was a good idea, we were committed, and we were building for scale. Because we were Google, and we knew, even if it was terrible, we were going to get some crazy traffic, potentially. And the founders of Google, and at the time, we were a pretty small 5,000 people or something. So the founders were in my ear constantly. And it was like, you don't build something that can't scale. You build it to scale. You build it as if it's going to succeed, and you make it so that it's got to be good enough for people or attracted to it without advertising and all these cultural things. But it's expensive, really expensive, and really hard. You need amazing engineers. I had one engineer from my team that came into Google that made real-time collaboration work. And for some reason, if he ever watches this, I'll just say his name, Michael LeMonic. So Micah made it work. He was the engineer that really architected our collaboration layer so that it would work. And it works to this day. And of course, other great engineers joined and made it even better, and the team grew and things. But it is the same architecture that made that real-time collaboration work. And I have to say, whenever I talk to another group that's doing something competitive with docs, I always find that what bothers me is what you're saying, Isaac, you loved about docs, which I feel the same way, which is it always works. And it works really well. It's fast. It's reliable. My stuff never goes away. And those are the principles. So going back to your question, those are the principles that we did build to. Like number one, from the day we started, even before we launched externally, but when we launched internally at Google, we all kind of shook hands and gathered together and said, we will never lose anybody's stuff, period. That's the most sacred thing, because if somebody uses this thing and they're using sheets, and even if it's experimental and they're starting to get into it, and they enter 10 rows of data, and then they fail and they can't find their data, we're done. They're never gonna come back. And that's a terrible thing to do to someone. So we made that like an absolute sacred rule, never lose anybody's stuff, and that lasted. I still have things on Drive from pre-launch, like when we, and then it probably is known that we bought rightly to do the document side. I have documents on my Drive from when rightly was like an experimental mode outside of Google. And so we always said, hey, we're gonna make sure we migrate people's things over to Drive and we're never gonna lose them. I have crazy old things there, like me and Micah actually having a conversation on a document just to test rightly before we bought it, you know, that kind of thing. It's just crazy, but it's, those things are really important again, but you have to make some trade-offs early on. And if you have to, you just have to be really clear. Hey, you might lose your stuff. If you wanna experiment with this experiment, don't use it for something real, until you're ready to say, hey, we're ready, we're ready for something real.  What do you do if they don't, you know, they just don't work? You know, it's, if it's a bad idea or it technically doesn't work, how do you go about that? You know, this is what's so hard. And it's funny only in hindsight, I think, can I say this, is try to set up expectations on things that might not work as if they are somewhat fungible, or, you know, they might go away. And that's, I think that's the key is when you launch something, make sure it's clear to your customers whether you're launching it for real or you're launching it for test. And it's always nice to hedge a little and say we're just, we just wanna see what the interest is, this might not last. And so we created channels for things like that. We created, you know, again, early days what was called beta, except when, you know, everything was beta from Google for a while. I don't know if you remember this but Gmail was in beta for like, I don't know, five years or something. And it was an epic decision to take it out of beta because we knew that that had an implication about the beta label generally. But anyway, I think creating channels. So we've actually created channels for people to use non-final things at Google. At Zapier, we don't do it as much. We don't, you know, have a need necessarily to do it as much, but we do have the ability to launch things experimentally and just make it really clear that it's experimental. That said, we have launched things, certainly I don't have this experience at Zapier but at Google where it was a feature, it was final and some people loved it and we still had to pull it, you know, it just wasn't working and you have to be willing to do that.  And mostly that experience came super early on in Google Sheets because we were a little more flippant about what we would launch. We launched a feature. There's something in the U.S. which is a big basketball championship and we noticed Google Sheets was used for this basketball championship. You know, I don't know if you know at the NCAA, it's called March Madness. You know, it's a big, and again, I think it turns into more of a social thing because everybody's, you know, basically doing their own little pools, the office pools and things. And people were using Sheets. We would have this huge spike in activity and we finally attributed it to March Madness. We're finally like, oh my God, that's what everybody's doing. And we launched this feature that would create tournament brackets inside of Sheets. And it was literally my co-founder who, you know, helped implement that because he was just, he wanted to have that in there and it was like a function in Google Sheets. And it was, we had, you know, that had to be killed ultimately. It was so niche and so specific and it certainly wasn't global. So, yeah, there are definitely times. Oh no, that's not there anymore? No, it's not. It was like, I know, I think it was actually called like in a spreadsheet if you're familiar with the nomenclature. It's like equals Google tournament or something like that. It was crazy. But then we, but we've done other things like equal Google finance. I don't know if you know the Google finance function. That was epic. And that was, you know, I'm really proud of that one because I still use it to this day. And it lets you get stock prices and things, you know, from global markets inside of a spreadsheet in real time. And it's, you know, semi-real time. And that was more of a legal, you know, thing that we had to create, you know, agreements to get that data. But yeah, there are times, I think the key is to go into it assuming that it might not last and letting your customers know it might not last. And then when you're ready, say, okay, this is the final feature.


Brooklyn Nets Media Day, Ryan Rucco, Sarah Kustak. And we are now joined by one of the new members of the Nets, Ben Simmons. Ben, welcome. We didn't get to talk to you really last year, so it's good to have you, man. Appreciate it. Thank you. So you already told us you didn't get to try the pizza the other day when you sat down with JJ and Tommy for the podcast. Rucco's already grilling you before we get started. Exactly. That was a missed opportunity. Finney Pizza, you got to check it out. I'll be back. But Ben, how about just being on the floor right now for you? I mean, what's the level of joy like for you getting to be back on the court after what you went through last season and then having back surgery at the beginning of the offseason? It was a lot. It was a lot. But now I see things a lot differently. The challenges I face now are a lot different. But I've been through a lot, so it's easier to really deal with the challenges that come up. But I'm happy to be back on the floor. It's exciting. It's where I want to be. And I'm looking forward to the season start. How much emphasis do you think about the rehab and coming back and everything with the surgery throughout the course of this summer? What was that like for you, the local of trying to rehab, trying to get yourself back? The uncertainty that was happening with the team and with the roster? For me, I was just trying to put myself in a position to focus on one thing, and that was rehab. There was so many other distractions that I could have really focused on and looked at. But for me, it's all about getting back on the floor and playing. So I was taking care of myself, and they gave my body right. Did you see any of the trade speculation? There's a lot of people talking about, oh, the Nets couldn't acquire X-Player because they have been on the roster because of that.  And I'm thinking, there's all these different scenarios. Are you following that at all? No, who were they trying to ship me for? I don't know. It was like, if you get rid of Ben, I'm like, wait, Ken, just get rid of Ben. Don't listen to him. He's not not listening to the show. I don't pay attention to that stuff. I'm where I need to be, and I'm here for now. So whatever that situation looks like. But that's what I focus on as a present.  Where you felt comfortable. You talked about the work you put in. Who were some of the people that helped you through that journey, Ben, to bring you to this place where you feel so good? Yeah, there's a number of people. I think there's people surrounding my family, friends. So I think those are the people that you're usually typically close with. But for me, it was just like, I kind of had to be selfish and focus on me and myself, my mental and then my physical health. So a lot of the time this past year has been spent, back given to myself. So I think it's something that, you know, everyone goes through their ups and downs, but at the same time, you got to be selfish. In what ways do you think that'll translate? You look at this group, you look at everything that occurred throughout the course of this off season, but a lot of new pieces, new parts translate in terms of leadership and the leadership that you could provide. Yeah, it's interesting. When you say leadership, because you know, you got Kevin who's not very vocal, but he leads through his example on the floor. You know, he's in the gym, he's working hard every day. Then you got Kyrie who also does the same thing.  I want to be, you know, one of the leaders on the team. I want to run the point and I want to put our team in the best position to win. How about just, you know, your vision, Ben, for the way you, Kevin, Ky, obviously the team as a whole, but specifically both of them and your game and the way that fits together. Yeah, I mentioned it a lot. The best example I can give is probably a team that we had maybe like 2017, 18, Marker Bellinelli, JJ Redick, Merson, and some of those guys where we was able to run, get stops, run, three balls, layups, it was just easy and fast. And I see that with this team. I see a lot of offensive weapons, but then defensively I see a lot of guys who can lock up and get out and transition. You fill a lot of gaps in that area defensively. Thank you. Let's start with that. But when you look at this last roster, the optionality, the versatility that comes along with it, we've heard how excited you are for yourself individually to get back on, but what excites you most about this collective? I think, because everyone, I wouldn't say it has something to prove, but I think we have a little chip on our shoulder where we want to go out and show people how great we can be. And that's going to take time, obviously. It's going to be our first year playing together, but it's exciting that you have a group of guys that are ready to win. How about the center position, Ben? Do you see yourself spending a lot of time at the five? If I need to. If I need to. If Clax needs a little break, for sure. How about you and Nick playing together? We were talking about it with him earlier, and he was just talking about the athleticism and the length and the defensive tenacity and what's possible on that end of the floor together. How do you see you and Nick be fitting on the floor together?  He's longing and blocked shots. He's a presence down there, but he's able to get the ball and push it too. And that's one of the exciting things.  You're talking a lot about system, how you guys may play. We got to give props to JJ Redick, Tommy Alters, Old Man In Three podcast you were on was tremendous. It's one of my favorites. But with that being said, you had a lot of compliments for the coaching staff and who you've been working with in here. What has stood out to you most about this group? And I know there's some new parts to that staff this season, but what stood out to you most about the time you've spent with them to this point? I think just them believing in me. I think that's the main thing and just knowing I'm coming to a place where, you know, they trust in my work and who I am as a player and have a goal in mind for our team and see me fitting in there. So I think that's the main thing. And then obviously over time with the rehab, I've been in the gym every day with these guys. So I'm just excited to learn and grow with these men and coaches and, you know, the Rooks. You know, Ben, it's interesting because in this, something you talked about on that podcast as well, but like for whatever reason, you're a player that the one flaw got focused on a lot, right, the shooting from deep. But on this team, it's almost like when I think about the roster, I don't know if you're the same, I'm just like, that just doesn't matter on this team when you look at the offensive weapons, right? Everything you do great is exactly what this group needs. Is there any part of that and the way you fit with this team that kind of frees you up to be even more comfortable with your skill set and all your strengths rather than something that may be a weakness in your game? Definitely, I think the one thing about it, I wanna be able to create an environment for my teammates to share the ball and get open shots and get the best shots we can because we have so many weapons. And for me and myself, I find that easy playing with these guys because I know what they're capable of and what they do at a high level. And when I do it at a high level, I facilitate, I rebound, push the ball, I get to the rim.   So it's a little different now. I'm excited to play with these guys and keep building and learning. So I think it will take some time but it'll be fun. I don't wanna create any controversy. Uh-oh, it's always, I'm on here, it's controversy. But I have to ask an honest question. So Patty Mills was just here sitting down with us. And I think he was more asking about your health but asked if you were ready to play one-on-one and you said I'm ready to play one-on-five. Then I asked him who would win in a game of one-on-one. I'm killing him. And he said, I'm destroying him. Yeah, he said it very confidently too. Patty acted like it wasn't even a question that he was insulted I asked. And I hope everybody has that confidence on team when it comes to that question. Yeah. Have you guys ever played? Have you guys ever played? No, we will. Tomorrow I might play them. There you go. See? You've laid the seeds there, Sam. Here we go. Nicely done. How about then just looking at the Eastern Conference as a whole, you know, there was a time where not that long ago this conference was thought of as, you know, the little brother to the West. Now you look at the teams across the East, whether it's you guys, Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami. I mean, there's so many teams that you could easily see competing in this conference. How do you kind of view just going through the gauntlet of the East right now? Look forward to it. I'm excited. That's what we're in the NBA. That's what it's supposed to be like. You know, you're supposed to be competing against the best. That's what you want. You want to, I'm excited that the East is stacked like this. Yeah. I get to compete against, you know, great players all the time. So I know what Sarah wants to know. Are you going to be in the dunker spot? Are you going to be handling the point? Are you going to be everywhere? I'll be everywhere. Because you're going to be everywhere. I'll be everywhere.  I was always very high in your game to say the least. So I'm thrilled. I'm thrilled that you're here. Ben, we're great to, we're so happy to see you doing well and mentally, physically, ready to get on the floor. Are you full go? Practice one? I'm ready. OK. All right. I've got the uniform on. Let's go. All right. That's a little coy, but I'm going to take that as a full go. All right. Let's go. OK. All right. So good luck with practice tomorrow. Appreciate it. And this training camp journey. And thanks for being with us. Thank you, guys. Appreciate it. That's Ben Simmons.


Yes, and we are back as promised with tomorrow wine the morning and this is entrepreneurship Tuesday on wine the morning My name is Barry Moses or it's by more Navy social media platform talking about social media Why to fight fall is on social media as well as always on white 5 4 channel on Twitter white 5 4 underscore channel on Instagram and white 5 4 on Facebook and on Facebook We have the question of the day and the question is simple Do you prefer shopping at malls or at your local shop and why do you prefer shopping at the big shopping malls? Or at the small local shop and why you you head straight to our Facebook and tell us Which one is your preference? Then we'll be sampling your feedback towards the end of the show my guest the first guest of the day goes by the name John and he had an idea in 2013 which He could only achieve in 2018 and it's still in the process of achieving it and is here to share the story with us The founder of Shikili Astros Thank you, sir. All right, your camera is number four You can add on to it. No, I'm actually John Kehara Most of the people knows me a JB as a nickname. Yes, I want the founder of Shikili Astros Which is an idea that I got in 2013, but I could only actualize it in 2018 And I think I'm I'm blessed to have started it. All right It's basically it's a convenience hub in the CBD convenience hub in the CBD. Yeah, all right So Shikili Astros is the name of the of the convenient hub Did when you came up with idea did you come up with the name as well or the name came about later? No, I think who started this idea They actually had a struggle of settling on the name because I actually had several I thought could fit in the name in the business But with guidance of few three people here and there I settled with a Shikili Astros And actually Shikili Astros name and another person that came up with it. It's my partner that came up with it Wow, yeah, because So there's a partner as well. So there's more to this story. Yeah. So Shikili Astros, this is the third year These are our second year. We are turning we are turning two in April turning two in April Yeah, you're celebrating your second birthday. Yeah, there's a lot to celebrate as well a lot All right, so she can maybe you can describe Shikili Astros in a nutshell. What does Shikili Astros do? Shikili Astros as I said is a convenience hub. It's normally a place that's storage facility So in the CBD and you have luggage with you, you really don't have to walk with them in town You just come drop your luggage with us You do your sugar and come much and come pick it later at a very small fee for slowest and fresh shillings per hour You can work with in CBD freehands We also rent spaces to the online business people you get a space for a slowest 3000 per month and keep your stock and Anything we make a sale you just tell your customer to come collect the item from Shikili and that gives you the chance that you can make Sell or do business in a Robi as much as maybe you don't stay in a Robi All right, as a matter of fact, I have customers who even state of the country, but they can still do be a shadow In a seat in Nairobi, Kenya. Just because she clear has made it possible for them All right So she clear makes it possible for me to walk without luggage in the CBD Run my operations and then come back for my luggage when I'm ready for it Exactly she clear stores make can make me do business when I'm not in Nairobi physically I can keep my stock at Shikili stores and sell my stuff online and then the The buyers can pick the stuff from Shikili stores. Exactly. So basically that Where did the idea come from? How did you come up with this idea? Actually, this is it came in 2013 and that was a time where I didn't have a job and I was actually sleeping somehow on a Hurupak You know the kind of inspiration that comes with a young man who is totally Desperate desperate looking for a job and I was sleeping on a Hurupak and as I was lying down somewhere I saw a guy come with a bug. He lied somewhere Not so far away from how I was I was and he kept his back just along where he was sleeping You know, he fell asleep and I saw some other guys came there monitor the guy They realized the guy this guy's asleep and this is a came took a bug and went with it And now that's what I thought Is there no somewhere in see bidire who can just keep a luggage instead of coming with it in the Turupak, and that's what the the idea Fully started then you just started thinking yeah, and then your thoughts ran wide Exactly, you know, I came to land There's no a place like that and that's the idea that I cared for myself never shared with someone apart from One of my brother. I just told that I'm thinking of doing this and this and he's like that's a good idea Maybe you should go ahead and do it, but you know Having the idea and actualizing it at two different things. All right. Yeah, so really curious to know What what was up in between 2013 when you had the idea of to 2018 when you actually actualized it? I said is there a job? I think 2013 2014. I didn't have a job. I got a job beginning of 2015 And that's the time I try to save few coins in there, but you try to save the you know The job Because I actually did my project management in college So if I'm a photo job, I was used to work at Galleria management Galleria mall Trying to save few coins in there so I can start but even if I start the business here comes the wedding I mean the wedding and that every coin that I said you're wearing now. Yeah, I'm married. Oh, congratulations I'm a father.  You're a family man. I feel like I'm there Anyway So what I heard I used it to the wedding and I was left nothing with nothing I Still I try to save again But realized if I may try to save until I set a business I may never do it and that at the point I thought I should look for a potential Investor or someone who could buy to the idea so that you know, I let a person You could get an idea and I had so much faith actually that I could start it And what I think there's a very key ingredient when you I think when you want to start a business I it surely is And I started looking for a space in CBD and I had several Several potential space that I thought this could be an ideal and the best that I got I decided you know what? I'm going to look for the owner of this building So that they can see or he can allow me to do business without paying the rent for at least six months And then maybe after six months me as a kumbulipa Rent together with the last six years And then and that's your actual what pushed me. All right, this is what you're Walking around the city trying to trying to find. Yes. Yes. I finally found the space I did it for the owner of the building and I know you know you good to the management of the building They are you asked them who is the owner they like what do you want the owner? You know, what do you want? It was such it was very tough to get the owner by and when I finally came to know where her office is I Stomped in the office every Tuesday every Tuesday was there I'm here. I want to do I want to make this madame and the P is like write a letter I read a letter and then the following Tuesday. Did you find my letter? I Pushed persistence is also a key ingredient when she's when you're venturing into all Facilities and I honestly and I say this with no fear of contradiction. I think it's because I pushed it And it happened. I was there every Tuesday for several weeks The P it tells me Although I had a such I was very busy that particular time I came to learn that later that she was pretty busy and that's probably why it took that long But I think if I indeed persist I probably could not have could not have ever met the lady And when I met the lady I gave her the proposal now When I met the lady, you know, initially had the idea of asking her to allow me to operate in her Be a shower in her building for at least six months. They're all paying the rent But again, I thought why couldn't I just ask her to come as an investor and I had these two ideas and I said I'm gonna give her this if you don't take this I tell her take this So you give somebody a deal they can't use And actually honestly the idea that I gave her first that was would you come as an investor? She bought the idea. All right. Oh, yeah, she did and that that is after you told her at the vision that you had and everything That you wanted to do exactly. All right So this is why you believed your brother was telling you the truth when you told you this is a good idea This is a good idea And actually even before I started I think I invested a little money because I did some a bit of Prefacility to study just to check the the readiness of the market or how the reception how could people buy the idea Or how could they take it and so I was pretty sure I did Interviewed at least a thousand people in the city in Nairobi before I started before even I gave the idea and the proposal All right. How were you carrying out these interviews? Did you have like a questionnaire? Were you just a person? I had a questionnaire and not because me. I'm not a person who can approach anybody and ask you Hi, how are you? What's your name? Can you do anything? Me I'm not a kind of a person so I engage it a lady when you suggest she's such a sanguine She can't talk to anybody. I told her you know what? I hope to do it Actually, there were two ladies One is called Rebecca and another she's called Maggie and I told her you know what? This is what I want you guys to do. How much would you charge me? We agreed on the figure. I told them go ahead. I know when they give back. I give me a month To give me the feedback and when they gave back I went through every Questionnaire just to see what people say and no one at all at any point say that they couldn't use it All right. Nobody everybody Felt like they need the service and they feel they needed it and surely it's needed All right I'm very interested in the research part because not so many people are going to go into a business after doing some feasibility studies How did you get to know about all this? I need some feasibility study before I get into a business. How did you? How did you get to know about all these things in the business world? I Think it was of my background as I told you I had Project management and those are some of the things that we you know if we learn that even if we're engaged in a Project you need a feasibility this feasibility study this feasibility study and all that just because I didn't have money to do there The detailed feasibility study. I just needed Just to feel the just another feeling how could I How could people you know accept this what they what would be their concern? And one of the things that was main concern of everybody security that will buy my item be safe in your store The other point is ours.  And you know at that time there is this worry of alshababs and everything and that's even today if you bring an item We just don't accept it. We have to screen it and know you're not bringing us a grenade I think because of my feasibility study and I have to be honest with you and say I think may know have been gifted in business. So there's a lot I read about business You may not find me with a note with a with a novel But you may find me reading so many articles for business articles. All right. Yeah, so this is what you use your free time for Yeah, I don't know I think Persistence is very important true faith is also a very important ingredient and Reading is also very important ingredient And also I think believing in what you do believing in what you have because if I didn't believe in the idea I had I probably could not have gone ahead. Actually We have a summary of what you have going on right there And this is like a graphical representation of what happens at chic lia straw. Exactly So drop and pick a point exactly luggage storage online business storage space business space fee Business space for solar 3000. All right. Yeah, so do a rat and deliveries Those are a reds and these are deliveries And then fast delivery. So these are the the key six pillars of chic lia store exactly Yes, all right business space. Mm-hmm. That is what I'm concerned. Did a space is a assume you sell I love watches watches on I love watches as well. Yeah, and if you saw the watches online most likely Until not the chic lia came into the into the existence Everybody had their stock in the house.  Oh, you need it go pick a chic lia So you just come and rent a small space in my in my store and you pay as low as 3000 I have differences of Spaces because you know people sell different stuff and they require different sizes of storage So you just come pay as low as 3000 per month. You keep your stock and you go ahead and sell All right. Yeah, these catch phrases. I only see them And a big cooperation named a safe secure and convenient And honestly that's what we honest with you. I struggled we struggled with the name Suddenly didn't struggle. It's a slogan. It was so obvious that you have to sell safety We have to sell convenience and that's a security. So it's easy for us Security and convenience exactly. These are some things you got from your visibility study These were the major major concerns of the response that I got. Mm-hmm. Yeah So from the research you could package your brand nicely. So research is also a very key in business. It is it is wonderful So first deliveries Errand handlers. So what kind of errands have you got in so far to handle? It's amazing how we can get we can get Crazy and crazy I think as we were starting some of the things that we have done I never saw or thought I could do them And that's why we came now. We have come up with a broad promise convenience at the extent of the definition That's our brand promise today. So you define the convenience. We shall deliver So if it does not match the jickelier convenience definition, then we are sorry we can't deliver this time The convenience at the extent of its definition. So you define it. We shall do it So the point is this We don't want to give you what you what we need to give you want to give you what you need us to give you A funny funny kind of a carad we did this one day a lady called us told us, you know what? I'm gonna get a gala. I thought I would manage to come to town But don't they call make it I'm expecting a house girl from Egorie who does not own a ruby It's her first time to come to Nairobi. How would you help us? I told her, you know what? Actually, you give her our contact when she comes to Nairobi, let's her call us. So we went picked her from country bus and took her to Rainbow shuttle Matatuza, Kitingela and now we told her you took her we went took her to the stage of Kitingela She went We charged for that service. You see, that's so how do you even come up with a price tag for such a service? It was tough at the moment at the beginning We have changed our prices every now and then Because when you're starting you're like I give me a hundred and I could do you like oh that was such a hassle So you learn from it you learn from exactly Is that like a book where you keep all these services that you've delivered to the people? Oh, yeah, all right So there's a record of everything. I have I have I have so many books Yeah, I have everything that we do have to be recorded as well and also at the same time I have I have a computerized system where for example if you bring a luggage We just don't keep it key in the system We have a computer system where we key in your details and we key in the details of probably the person coming to Pick the item and we give you a specific particular unique code Where the customer coming to pick the item shall have to come with that particular code that it may give him or other item That's one for the air and that is for security right there That's for security and there's no way and actually since we started we have never had an issue over the a big witty of the items Where probably you brought a watch another customer brought a watch and probably we give you his or her watch Instead of you giving you your watch because you have a code for you have a code a unique one a unique code That so when I'm an online dealer, so all my items in your store have a code Yes, so I'll tell you a customer is coming to pick at this and this code and this and this code And this and this number of items from this and this code if the customer specific if the customer's not specific Just tell us customers coming to pick one watch just show them the watch whichever they choose Just make sure they pay all right So this error and part is where you've come to learn about so many needs that people have in the CBD that have not been So many so many that I personally never thought you know when we're starting we just thought you tell me Deliver the issue there is it there until one day was asked to a customer you go pick a check a certain place Go bank it. I was like, oh, wow. That's a good one. I never thought I could do it, but it's not technical So just sent my guy you go pick the item Yeah, so It's some of these things you have come to learn in the job But what is one create one crazy thing that you've had to keep in your stores to keep in our store? Something that you never imagined you could keep within the the premise It must have been lovely It's crazy someone's in Kisumu, and I think I Think she was to travel to Nairobi, but something happened when she was at the bus station And then she called us and told us I was to come But I have some more manner that I'm supposed to bring to my brother you go pick them from the bus station Deliver keep them in just so she will come he will come pick and I would okay It's a cafe in Nairobi We went to pick them we brought them to Shekelia and then the the brother said are you guys bring them? I'll come for them. That's where it stood out a lot, and also they were really the Casmello's All right You're learning a lot in this business and you're learning the needs that that Nairobians have that have never been met What is the vision with the business in the long run?  I was with my mentor and my partner and you are discussing The the the rolling down of this year, and it's already scary so far. It's scary just because maybe maybe just because For one thing that I feel is that why am I really am I this capacity to do this because it's quite huge As a matter of fact, we'll be opening a limit on she mentioned the town but by April 9th will be launching our Net site store. Yeah outside Nairobi, of course So we'll be opening a branch in outside Nairobi in one of the town that we should have soon With some we have several other projects Project coming up amazing products actually so very soon again I think it would be so the six pillars might be eight sometimes who knows We just make us sure that we have a disposal of you as our customer That you can use us in any way that you want as a matter of fact Let me tell you one thing that one planet or service that I got I never thought There's this lady who had an interview She had a kid and maybe I don't know whether the house girl disappointed or something You have had to keep a baby in the store So I know that the lady came and told us I thought I think she thought we keep kids or something I don't know what she thought. I know she came as well as now. I want to leave this baby here I go for Anita you wow, I don't know. We don't keep kids You know, we don't keep babies, but the good thing was a boy. It was around four five years The kid was very interactive and I told the lady no imagine.  All right, so we just can't do that She's like what will you help me and it's already, you know what? Just leave the baby, leave it for the interview. I didn't even check the lady anything But it was such a fulfilling thing to see serving that need to her Just giving her the chance to go for an interview and then she come gets her kid much later It was such a fulfilling thing. That is one day you felt fulfilled when you got home after one And I made sure I could not pick a coin. She tried to pay me to her. Thank you But she has the defaults of many customers to us Wonderful right there. That is good business right there and that is power of the word of mouth.

All right So sometimes the the stories that might disguise you but always remember your business is unique in its own way Oh, yeah, and have to solve the need Why the big question today on ours on our Facebook is do you prefer shopping at the shopping mall? I'm a little camp time. Which one works for me. Yeah, I think I buy Almost everything from she clear from Because I actually have like everybody's selling everything.  I actually don't buy. I think the only thing I bet from small market Maybe the number food stuff Clothing anything I buy from she clear. I honestly have everybody selling anything and I keep on saying actually if you have some money I turn in to spend come to she clear. That is the best Ever that is the best ever. Thank you very much for coming through to why in the morning Thank you, sir. She to keep doing what you're doing keep providing providing employment for the Kenyan youth And I keep breaking the boundaries as well Yes, we've come to the end of this interview the first interview of the day I had Come over to the top one. I'm Zigo. I'm a corner online store. You need some storage find she clear guys on Social media at she clear store she clear store on Instagram and on Facebook as well You'll get sorted. My name is by Moses or it's by money the social media platform Hillary is coming up next with another interview


be nice and sharp, right? Space like this, that's going to help prove you as an athlete. A benefit for the goalkeepers, all aspects of diving, just going to ground and feeling you know like you're outside. Plus I think the goalkeepers will see this and they'll be more excited to train. It's just game meal as long as you want because it's just right at your house. We were looking for some sort of a way to train at the house and when this turf idea came up it just seemed like the perfect idea. Accessibility was a big thing with Lance and the guys letting me know how possible this was to do. I mean the price range was going to be the next question. Once that was determined, I mean I think at that point in time it is an investment, right? But I mean in comparison to something like carpet or anything like that that you can put down here and you know you got to worry about it as opposed to use it. I think the pros and cons are far in favor of the turf. I mean especially for someone like a lifestyle like us, my wife and I we're very active people. We love to work out in our home in our home basement and again this would be another tool for us. This would be another way to keep our well-rounded lifestyle attached. When you have good quality material it gives it confidence to the goalkeepers that they can you know work harder practice and not worry about getting hurt. I like it. It's super soft and it feels nice to play around. You know the first thing I think is if your kid is into training finding an option like this is just wonderful. I mean at the end of the day I always believe your kid can work on skills at home and bring those skills to training. They're going to be just that further ahead in terms of their development. I mean we got unpredictable weather so even in the good months it's not always that good. So this is a tool that can really help you as an athlete. Yeah as a parent you know especially in the winter trying to get up to facilities is it can be a challenge and this definitely helps solve that problem. We're training at home all of our skills that we need on the field and not having to drive 45 minutes one way potentially go to a field to get that sort of training the kids are looking for is fantastic. I think having Turf at home is going to only make the players better. A lot of times we have to depend on going places to train but having this at home you can train seven days a week as many hours as you want at any time and it's going to make the player better it's going to increase the quality of player you'll learn quicker faster and it's something that we need to do in this country considering our weather conditions are but having home turf you can train here any time that you want and that's going to be very beneficial to their development. Oh yeah I can't wait to be practicing in here. It's going to help me develop my skills for touch and ball mastery. 100% I would recommend this I mean the guys are easy to work with you know the help is made readily available for you so even if you know something like this is is an ambitious task it's definitely achievable one again I'll stress the fact that young players can't work on on the details enough so having this I mean this this entices a player to go downstairs and play. When I was core of the price I was very impressed and something that's very affordable and you're getting top quality product. I'm super super excited for my son to have this at home and you know be able to use this whenever he likes. My kids are really excited to get to use the turf I know for a lot of different reasons my short game in golf could definitely use some work so that that's going to get some attention and if you're thinking about getting some indoor turf this would be the turf to get. It's just a quality outstanding it just adds another dimension to my training and it's very looking very professional and I'm looking forward to using it with my goalkeepers


When you start looking at charts tonight, you'll see a lot of similarities, a lot of beta names that went from the dead hit their five-day moving average, right? Either the five or the 10-day moving average. So if you look at Facebook, right? Trader right to support today, right? Excuse me, right to supply in the five-day. If it confirms the supply, it's going to go higher. If you look at NVIDIA, for example, right? Same thing, okay? NVIDIA finally reclaimed the five-day. Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessaTrader.com nightly wrap up show. Hope everybody had a good trading day. If you sat there all day on message boards, on stock tweets, on Twitter, debating what's going to happen on, what is the damn thing called, blah, blah, blah, Tesla Day, right? You missed a really good day, right? You missed an absolutely really good day, a lot of really aggressive action, and more important, you missed a lot of value, and I think that's the most important part. I think you can spend your time wisely, you can spend your time kind of all over the place. I found a lot of traders today talking about something that they had no control over versus a day that was setting up that we talked about yesterday that potentially had a lot of value, and that's kind of what we wound up today. So let's kind of go back to 24 hours from now. Two things that happened that were pretty obvious, at least not obvious to everybody, but what's pretty obvious for all you guys is to trade technology names. Two things happened yesterday. Number one, technically we talked about this on the video, the Q's reclaimed major support. This is the support that they lost going all the way back to July the 24th. That was very, very bullish. The one thing we did notice yesterday that was kind of giving us a pretty good idea of what was going to happen today was the first time in three weeks that we saw deep out of the money calls being bought on names like Amazon, on names like Alibaba, names like Apple, Nvidia, just really good aggressive speculation, money flow. And we anticipated a pretty decent session today. We anticipated that there was going to be a lot of strength today. I like the idea that the market didn't need to go green yesterday, or at least the Dow didn't need to go green yesterday for the bulls to be kind of in charge. The key was today, how much value were we going to get? We like the names like Amazon, and we like the names like Roku, obviously, so forth and so on. But we wanted to see what was next, right? What was the idea that is it going to be regulated to a couple of names to give us some good setups, or was it going to be a broader mass appeal? And we got that answer pretty, pretty quickly. What I liked about today's session, again, you could go on the scoreboard. The Dow kind of irrelevant up 140 points. You saw the Nasdaq composite up 200. That is relevant because, again, that is the barometer of pretty much every single name that I trade that's involved with the Nasdaq 100, or at least the QQQ. So it's very, very important that today we made a statement, or at least the bulls made a statement. And the bulls could have rolled over very, very quickly. If you look what happened today, midday, okay? You see this five-day moving average? We talked about this yesterday. Again, we weren't out of the woods. We weren't talking about we're going to go to 52-week highs. We just talked about some of these levels, right? The five-day to 10-day moving average. And at some point today during the day, and you can see this, the market started really selling off, right? The Q started selling off here. And if you look at where it got rejected, it got rejected right off the five-10-day moving average. The bulls could have left really just gave up. They could have laid down and died, put up no fight. And we were going to have a completely different conversation this evening for tomorrow than we are about to. It was very, very impressive. Not only did the bulls reclaim the five-day moving average, they reclaimed the 10 as well. And we're an inch away from reclaiming the 50-day.  So the next big area that we need to close above, you know, somewhere around this 274 level, if we can reclaim the 50-day moving average, then again, follow me here. Again, supply to supply. The next supply would be 276. Obviously, any close above 276, 281, so forth and so on. And any close obviously above that. And again, we're kind of going a little further here than I want, but any close above this 282 candle, again, then you're talking about a puncher shot going to 52-week highs. If you look at the S&P 500, again, same thing, kind of dead cat bounce hammer. We talked about that hammer in last night's video, the most basic fundamental in Japanese candlesticks. We put in a hammer off rising support. And again, the S&P didn't quite get it out of the woods just like the Nasdaq composite did, but we're getting close, right? And we need a reclaim and build over 33.33. In my opinion, 33.33 to kind of wake the bulls up in a little bit of macro area, more aggressive above 33.75 for a potential push back to the top of this range of 34.25. Again, baby steps. You don't need to have every single day have all or none scenario. It's not a Hail Mary scenario. Again, we are bound by value. We're bound by individual trades, individual ideas. So again, we don't need to do this all in one day, baby steps, right? Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was the stock market and obviously neither was the trading account. It's all about being in value mode and taking it day by day, trade by trade. So everything looked very, very bullish. We had a pretty basic game plan today. Once we started seeing all these beta channels start formulating, it was again, it was all, we'll talk about that in a second, but if you look at today's pivots, literally everything was on the long side. I mean, every single one going from Amazon to beyond that had a monster move. Roku was definitely, at least for me, definitely the trade of the day for myself, just one after another, started getting very, very aggressively. And if you are looking at charts tonight, again, I always encourage a lot of new traders. Again, folks, I say this all the time, even if you don't know what you're looking at, start training yourself every single day to start looking at charts. Again, there's no, you know, when I started, there was no playbook. There was no, you know, thousands of sites that you can get free information to kind of figure out what technical analysis is all about. We had kind of had to figure it out. Now there's just so many different resources that you can go on and really understand, you know, what technical analysis looks like in its barest forms, start looking at charts. And when you start looking at charts tonight, you'll see a lot of similarities, a lot of beta names that went from the dead, hit their five-day moving average, right? Either the five or the 10-day moving average. So if you look at Facebook, right? Trader, right to support today, right? Excuse me, right to supply in the five-day. If it confirms the supply, it's gonna go higher. If you look at NVIDIA, for example, right? Same thing, okay? NVIDIA finally reclaimed the five-day. If it takes out this channel tomorrow, again, there's room, you know, 510, 512, 513, and so forth and so on. Amazon had a huge breakout today. We covered that last night. There was a monster monster moving in this morning. So we're setting up for more bullish bias for tomorrow's session. Obviously, there's going to be stocks that will rest. Again, stocks don't go straight up, stocks don't go straight down. There's always periods of rest, and that's good. That's healthy. But the bias, at least for tomorrow, at least for the first couple of hours of the day, I wanna give the bulls every opportunity to kind of live with prosperity. I want to make sure that a res day doesn't turn into kind of a back test. Very, very important. So we'll get all those answers in more, obviously in the first two days. But again, on the surface, things look good, right? Things definitely look good. You know, names like DDOG look really good. FSLY, it was a good pivot today on FSLY. That looks really, really good. Crowd was a good one today as well. So a lot of these names are starting to really get aggressive. And again, cross your fingers, but we might start seeing much more aggressive price per share and expansion of channels. So let's talk about today's session. Again, very aggressive, very aggressive day, okay? ANGO, INO never made it. INO finally took out that 1850. Again, this is why we talk about second entries. INO traded to, I think, 1868. Retrace never gave that second entry to 1868. Again, guys, for all you guys are trading pivots, you have to, you absolutely have to use second entries. That is a must. It's an absolute must. Don't anticipate the stock going. Use the second entries. Roku exploded. We talked about this yesterday, a morning strategy. This was definitely my focal point of the day. So here was Roku. Here was the whole channel here, right? This whole 190 channel. And just absolutely exploded through the channel. Really, really big move when it ties to 195 and change. FSLY, 93 needs to build. Here was FSLY, right? Here's FSLY. Here was 93. This whole channel here, 93 went right to supply. I still like it for tomorrow. Again, yesterday we saw plenty of 95 weekly call buyers come in. I still like this thing. This thing starts, I think, reclaiming this top of the range. It should go higher as well. NVIDIA didn't quite make it. I still like it for tomorrow. I am definitely, definitely watching the video for tomorrow. All it needs to do is reclaim the top of the channel and wait for me to get in the video day. Crowd, again, 3975, 140 needs to build, right? Here was Crowd, right? So here's the 13975, 140. Really, really woke up and traded right to the linear regression line, almost to 143. Again, I still like it for tomorrow. Netflix didn't get to 492,000, literally the top of the pre-market range today. Beyond, when nuts. Again, beyond, you can say what you want about the stock and plenty of competition, so forth and so on. But when this thing goes, man, this thing really goes. So here's the whole 150 range, this whole range over here. And all it did was literally put in a $13 candle, just a huge move on BYND. Amazon, again, monster. Again, we saw the really aggressive call-buying we talked about in last night's video. They got upgraded today. Again, pre-market 3025 channel needs to build. Again, obviously experienced traders, only not every single thing is for everybody. So here was Amazon, here was the 3025, right? Here's the whole 3025 and stock just absolutely exploded. Looks like a date with 3150, going into tomorrow is only up 168 points. Very, very aggressive. It has a legitimate shot, yeah, I think even a little higher. I think there's a legitimate shot into this 3160, 3175 area into the next supply for tomorrow, but a huge move, 168 point move on Amazon. Square, 154 needs to build. I still like Square for tomorrow. So here was the one, here was the one, took out this whole area here, took out 154, 50, traded out to basically about the 156 and change. I still like it tomorrow. The macro area is gonna be this channel right here. And if it starts reclaiming that, it could see 52 week highs in that as well. So you get the theme of the day. I mean, really, really aggressive session today. A lot of big moves. Again, here comes 3100 weekly call buyers. This is the one that was very, that was very, very odd, okay? So now we're starting, every state is starting to get, you know, different levels of movie theaters and so forth and so on to kind of reopen. We started seeing, I'm talking about, when I wrote here, panic buying, they were going one after another, literally one after another on IMAX for the October 15th. I don't know what was going on. When they sold off the stock, the premium was so juiced here. When they sold off the stock from like 1368 to under 13, the calls didn't move. They did not move. So keep an eye on this thing. Definitely, definitely keep an eye on this thing. Keep an eye on these, on IMAX. Obviously they start going heavy again in those October 15 calls. Might be something to watch. Again, we talked about FSLY holding up. Watch this, still valid. Obviously they won't, they went pretty nicely here. Take on the way up 95 measured potential. That's kind of where it got to. 100 call buyers came in on FSLY. Document, nice little move. Let nice little move in the afternoon. 209 rejected five times, needs to reclaim. So here was Dock U, right? Here's Dock U. Look how many times, you can see here. Look how many times here, check this out. You see how many times it got rejected at 209? 209, 209, 209, 209, right? So finally it got above the 209 and went to the 211 area. So nice move on Dock U. Take on the way up. And I said, look, tomorrow's definitely shaping up for huge potential, right? Huge potential. And the moral of the story is, I think the most important part tomorrow's session is I'd like to see what happens that first dip. Did the bulls fight like they did today and start reclaiming macro levels?  Again, to be determined, but again, on the surface it looks pretty damn good. So good trading session today, lot of good value guys. And tomorrow God's help, we'll get some more. Take care guys, have a good night.
