My name is Carol Charnault. I'm the president and CEO of Boston Children's Museum, which is an institution over 100 years old. Of course, a hands-on children's museum, and we've been very involved with mitigating COVID transmission in the museum during this past 12 months. We first closed the museum in response to the pandemic on March 13th, 2020. We then subsequently opened in July of 2020 and then closed again in mid-December, and we're about to open on May 1st. During that time, we've gone up and down on a roller coaster related to all the matters of COVID in the museum. We have developed a 50-page reopening manual, which is updated regularly, and this pertains to the use of masks in the museum, cleaning procedures, social distancing, etc. And we have modified many exhibits in order to make them more safe for visitors. Of course, this process has changed and developed along the way over the last year, and we're happy to say that as we open on May 1st, we have been able to introduce some further modifications and lessening of some restrictions based on CDC and state recommendations. It has been a very tough time for staff, and we have tried to find ways to support them, to be as transparent as possible, to listen to their fears and anxieties and make as many adjustments as we have been able to in order to accommodate those fears and anxieties, and it has been a labor of love, but also very, very challenging. As we reopen on May 1st, we have edited and adjusted our reopening manual to accommodate the slight loosening of restrictions in Massachusetts for institutions like ourselves. We are still going to uphold the mask wearing for children to and over, the social distancing of the six feet of distance, time ticketing for sections of the day in which we can then clean in between, additional cleaning, electrostatic cleaning, and so forth. We have opened some additional exhibits that were not open in our first period during the pandemic based on CDC and state guidelines. I think going forward, this experience will permanently change us. I think we have a much more heightened awareness of how illnesses can be transmitted in the museum. This includes other contagious illnesses such as colds and flu. I think it's helped us understand more specifically how to clean so that germs aren't transmitted on surfaces. I think it's helped us understand how to communicate with staff about staying home when they are unwell, and I think as a society we will learn going forward over the next year how COVID will have had a kind of permanent impact on the way that we behave, not only in museums and other public spaces, but in our personal lives. The Realm project has been really helpful to us, particularly as it relates to the testing they've done on various materials and the practices around fomites, so it has been a really great boon to our field and to my museum in particular. Inside the museum we have referred to the toolkit and to the literature reviews and so forth to make some of the more specific decisions to museums, and I think it's been extremely helpful because of course although there's a lot of information that comes out from the state, the city, and the CDC, it's not pertinent specifically to museums. I think that what we have learned is that we're more resilient than we thought we could be. I think I've also learned about the importance of self-care for leaders and certainly also for staff members, and I've learned a little bit more about how to encourage people to take those steps. I do think it's quite remarkable how resilient our sector is. I think we will see that our industry is invaluable to society as a whole and that we have a very important niche to fill and that we are resilient and we have staying power and we are also flexible and nimble and we can respond to the needs of society. So I think we can all have confidence in our abilities to crisis manage and to find a way, a creative way out of almost any situation.


This is stock number 20J191. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used Jeep and Jeep Wrangler headquarters. Today we are checking out this 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, Willys Wheeler Sport Edition. And not only is this our first Willys, but this is our first Wrangler with the 3-liter eco diesel motor in it. It's going to get you 29 miles per gallon on the highway. 22 in the city for a combined total of 25 miles per gallon average on a Jeep Wrangler. And that's pretty amazing. And not only that, but this thing gets up and goes. It has 260 horsepower and 442 pounds, foot pounds of torque. This thing really gets up and moves from 0 to 45. In fact I did a video, if you want to check that out in the upper right hand part of the screen is a link to that video of the 0 to 60 on this thing that I did a couple days ago. So that's really cool too. We're going to get up close here and check out some of the options. The painted 17-inch Moab rims. Brand new for this year are these Firestone Destination MT2 tires. These are LT25575R17s. Definitely with a mud terrain pattern on them. Get the Willys stickers on there. The Jeep and Wrangler and trail-roaded badges are all blacked out, which is pretty cool. We're going to take a look right under the hood since that's probably the most important thing on this particular Wrangler is the EcoDiesel. You get the gloss black grille as well. Now I'm going to get up close so you can hear it. I mean it's a little louder than the gas motor, but not really that much, but really a cool vehicle. The 3-liter EcoDiesel is a $4,000 option and I believe you have to get it with the 8-speed automatic transmission which is a $2,000 option. Factory fog lights.  The black hardtop is in addition. In fact, we'll take a look at the original window sticker here. Now feel free to pause this. I'm not going to go over everything on it, but I will go over some of the main highlights that pertain to this vehicle, especially the ocean blue clear coat, which is 245. The 26K, which is the Willys Sport Package, is a $1,700 option which gives you anti-spin, the heavy-duty brakes, the window tint, all-weather floor mats, and this one also has the trailer, tow, and heavy-duty electrical group, which is $7.95. Now I believe with the EcoDiesel you can pull up to 3,500 pounds with this vehicle and that EcoDiesel is a $4,000 option and the 8-speed automatic transmission is a $2,000. Hardtop is a $12.95 and it does have an engine block heater. For a total MSRP of $43,420, not too bad on a brand new Wrangler here, especially with the EcoDiesel, 29 miles per gallon on the highway, 22 city, and 25 combined total. I wasn't kidding. This is 25 combined total and then they don't really rate it because it's a convertible and stuff for the crash test ratings. I do like to point out that these floor mats are the terrain floor mats on here.  You get the four-wheel drive sticker on the back. There's that towing package, which gives you the receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring, matching wheel, do like the EcoDiesel logo on the back. Lots of room back here for storage. You get your holders for all your door and roof hinges or bolts I should say and windshield bolts. You got three bolts on each side and then two on the top for a total four on each side to take this off. There's two quick disconnects and a holder for those quick disconnects. Those seats do fold down. Four extra storage and you can see that the bars here are painted as well. You get that crushed eggshell finish to the hard top pieces and you also get the JL badge on the back door here. They made these back doors a lot lighter so they close nice and smoothly. Blacked out fuel door, really a good looking Wrangler. Because this is a sport it does come with the black cloth interior, driver's seat height adjuster and we do have the topographical format on this side as well. This does have manual crank windows, manual locks. You do get the digital display here with the digital speedometer and you get your compass and you can put your temp, somebody put the compass to both sides but you can do all that. It does have Bluetooth and you connect your information center controls and then cruise controls on the right. This is with the AM FM 5 inch touchscreen radio and this is also where your backup camera is going to show up and that's a really high definition backup camera and those grid lines do turn. They are dynamic so they turn as you turn that steering wheel and that center line lines right up with that receiver hitch.  Then you get a USB, AUGS and a USB-C and then you get your four auxiliary upfitter switches down there, part of that heavy-duty towing package. 8 speed automatic transmission, your 4x4 shifter on the floor. You do get the key fob here which basically is just a flipper key. It doesn't have any lock or unlock because it doesn't have power windows or power locks. You get the gray finished dash and all the hard top pieces on the inside work very similar to the old Wranglers. And then what's cool about the new Wranglers is they made all the interior lights LEDs now. It's a little bit brighter on the inside. I know a lot of guys used to always just as soon as they get a Wrangler they'd swap out those LED lights. Anyways, we'll do one more final walk around here and I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video. Like I said, check out that video of us taking this thing 0 to 60 on the road. It's pretty impressive. I don't have the exact timed out yet because I haven't uploaded it yet but it's pretty quick, pretty amazing.

Everyone, welcome. This is Melissa Armo with a Stock Swoosh and I'm introducing a birthday special that I'm doing for this week. September's a great month to have a birthday. Fabulous weather right now here in New York and it's a great time for people to get up and about and start trading. So I teach people my system and my method in the class once a month. And if you'd like more information, you can email me at melissa at thestockswoosh.com or call me at 929-3200 Gap. Follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. So happy birthday to me and all the September babies out there. This is a great way to start false trading season, fall earning season, which is coming up. So you can make money with me. I'm doing a huge offer. This is a birthday offer to try to help people get their mojo up here before the rest of the year is gone. I mean, three and a half months left in the year that's it, summer is over. Like I said, fall is basically here. So earning season is coming up as well. That's a time there's a lot of activity in the market. Stocks companies report their earnings and typically then there's stocks gap. And so what I teach in my class, my method is to determine the direction of stock will move after the gap, whether it will move up or whether it will move down. So it's based on advanced technical analysis and gaps. That's what my course is about. And I have a video about it on YouTube if you'd like to watch that as well. It's a point rating system where I go through all the 26 points and I rate the gap. I'm not looking for a perfect score. I'm looking for 20 or more. All to was a fabulous gap. This stock closed here, this stock gap down, this rally, I mean, this tried to rally here at the beginning of the day and then fell, which was right in the morning. That's where this tally thing was. This just plummeted, plummeted on the earnings. And again, waited till the earnings came out and then saw this, rated it in the following morning. Okay. And then called several trades in this options and then the day trade too. But this was a really nice move. And it's one of these ones where you get these good ones and you just got to play them, play them, play them. So this was one of the options trades for Alta was 113% return in investment. It was again, Friday the 30th. Okay. So I'm gonna go back here and show you. This was the day of the gap down. And the time that I sent this out was in the morning in the pre-market. You take the trades once the market opens, but I knew this would work and I was right. So I called the 245 putts expiry 920. It was just because I didn't have a lot of strikes out at that point. I just didn't or I would have called a shorter one. But anyways, I'm gonna go back here and show you 245. So here's 245. You can see how this dropped. This was the one day. And you can see how it dropped and fell. Beautiful, beautiful move. Cross of the options, 750. Advanced risk of 10 contracts is 7,500. Exit 16, your profit would have been with an advanced risk. Again, 10 contracts is a lot, $8,500. What if you could only afford to buy one? Fine. You could have bought one, paid $750 and sold it, made $850 bucks, okay? So very nice move and a very nice option call there on that altar. So what I am looking to do is see the gap, see the momentum before the momentum comes in because that's how you could take the trade and make the money. You wouldn't make any money if you were shorting that at the low of the day, okay? But with support with the proper system, with the proper mentor, you can do it. You can be successful in the market. So I teach my class once a month. It's called the Golden Gap Course and I'm offering the Golden Gap Course, the Gap Options Course, which is September 26th and the Gap Options newsletter free for one year for $64.99. Class is normally $64.99. So this is a great deal. This sale ends September 14th. No exceptions for this whatsoever at all, okay? So you must sign up by Saturday, the 14th. Again, the class is then the following weekend. If you wanna sign up for the Trends Course II, this is the combo, $69.99. You get three classes and the newsletter free for one year. This is the best value of any of them, $69.99 US dollars. Again, sale ends September 14th. So you would get all the options trades for one year like that altar, Options Course, Trends Course and Golden Gap for $69.99. If you'd like more information or have questions, email me at melissa at thestockswish.com. Have a great month of September, everybody and happy birthday to me.


Welcome to the wide world of eSports, a show devoted to all things eSports. I'm co-host Catherine Norr and hosting with me today is showcaster Robert Artie Ross. Hi Artie. Hey Catherine, our topic today is eSports is hiring, how to get a job in the eSports industry and our guest is Uzair Hassan, the author of the eSports career guide, how to get a job in the eSports industry. Uzair, how are you doing today? I'm doing well. I'm so excited to share what I wrote in this book and hopefully help some people understand how to better get a job in the eSports industry. So Uzair, what inspired you to write this book? That is a hot question. So my eSports journey started in 2017, so about four years from the time I was able to land a full-time position and at that point as well I got multiple contracts. So B2B, I worked with people from the grassroots side, business owners, I'm in municipal governments. I even got reached out to by a Hollywood director who was getting into the eSports industry. So I experienced a lot but it was very hard to get to that point from A to Z. I had no idea what I was doing. I made so many different mistakes and what's worse is I went to the first ever post-secondary eSports business program at Lambton College, the eSports Entrepreneurship and Administration program and unfortunately obviously the first cohort to graduate graduated in COVID but unfortunately majority of the people that are leaving that aren't leaving with a job and it's very sad. I know a lot of my colleagues as well that are just going back to college for something completely different and after retrospecting and introspecting on what I might have done differently that allowed me not only to get a bunch of contracts but also a full-time position in Canada's number one eSports organization. So like after looking at that I realized there's something that I did really right that other people missed to do and I really wanted to prevent that from other people in the past but not only that I was also very stressed out during my four years unsure if can I get a job is this even possible? Am I like crazy? Am I messing up my life? And I wish four years in the past I had something that's from someone who says you know you can do it it's very possible because the first thing I ever heard about in terms of getting a job in eSports was a Reddit post that said anyone that's trying to get a job specifically was relating to the the program because it was a Reddit post saying is this program even viable? People were saying if anyone that assigns up to this program is just lost they have no idea what they're doing this is not possible you can't get into eSports unless you're a player and that really caused me issues where I wish someone told me you can do it in fact this is what you should be doing this is what you should be focusing on so that's exactly why I put this book together. That's really awesome I mean like I was in those shoes exactly just a couple years ago so I want to just extend that if if I so going back right a couple years ago I'm a student I have no idea what I'm doing I have no experience what would you advise me to do since you've gone through this process already what would you start with in that process? Yeah so I think the most important part is to actually gain some perspective in terms of what the industry is what opportunities are there and what you're really getting yourself into so the way I even structured the book is that we start off with section one which I called tutorial because I framed the getting a job in the eSport industry like a game because a lot of pieces very much are like the game and you're playing it as such but you start off with understanding the high level on like perspective of what you're getting yourself into the problems with eSports in fact that's the first chapter why you shouldn't want to go into the eSport industry I list out five reasons to run from the industry and then we transition into speaking about okay now that we know the problems what does it take to actually get a job and I also speak to the types of jobs that are in the industry we speak about the different pathways and then we talk about the mentality and some of the base information you need to have and then from there we go to the second section which kind of outlines this is what you initially need to be doing to start filling up your level in terms of your perceived value and actual value I actually break that up into the book and we can obviously get into more of why that is and how you kind of do it but then once you understand the high level it's just about going in the you know field and starting to do some work building your relationships and taking those stuff forward and I outline the very specific ways you do that in the book you know one of the most fundamental questions that we have and this this is why the the show is called is eSports hiring is are there jobs in the industry yeah there there are there is a ton of jobs without a doubt the industry is growing rapidly there's so much investor money coming in it's so much so that there's an alleged bubble obviously that is one of the reasons to run eSports is kind of unstable struggling with profitability but nevertheless there are so many jobs with the massive growth massive opportunities this is the future there's no doubt it's always a concern of if it's now but like if you look at the hit marker 2019 report it's super popular report showing that about 89 percent there's an 89 percent increase in total jobs is a near double of the industry between 2018 and 2019 I also break down that report in my book where I also mentioned there are some caveats there's some key issues with that data that I kind of broke down that people need to be aware of so it's not that extreme to a jump I would say I don't think the industry literally doubled in that year alone but there's clearly a massive growth in jobs and it's not going to stop anytime soon I agree there's really a trend upward these days not only with eSports organizations but also with all of the other aspects in from the game side of things to the service side of things all the way going forward into you know tournament organizations and just all of these different levels does your book focus on any of these specific points or does it cover pretty much everything all the ins and outs of the industry yeah so my biggest focus with the book is to help someone get into the back end of the eSports industry and that is really coming down to one of the struggles with the book and I mentioned this in the book as well is that eSports is an industry not a career in the sense that there's so much different avenues you can go down so one of the issues when constructing this book is how do I create information that can help people on a wide scale so any anywhere on the eSport industry without actually getting into the specifics of building out what I would refer to as your ancestry which is your skill set within the book and so what we we do is I really touch in a high level how you should be developing and how you determine what to develop I don't unfortunately tell you the specifics but then we go from the entire pathway you in the book there's an exercise to help you determine what it is you need to do to build up an experience and like there's a very strategic strategy that I think more people need to employ which is actually looking at the job post things looking at what companies are actually looking for actually calling up companies reaching out saying what are and people that are working in these fields understanding what they do doing those in grassroots organizations specifically to tackle like a car technique which is very common in interviews where they actually want you to write a story of how you've done something within an actual job and then you also go into the specifics of how to land a job because there's multiple ways beyond just applying on a job board. You know the eSports ecosystem is so big and we have some examples of that right here I am an attorney and mediator and of course Artie is a shoutcaster and does a number of other things and then of course you own eSports how as well it was there so do you talk about the ecosystem in your book? Yeah so we go through the ecosystem in a high level in chapter five which is the end of section one which is the overview I highly recommend people to actually research the industry in fact I have an entire website that comes with a book with a ton of resources from my blog from other books other podcasts people need to understand the ecosystem my book is not the place to understand it in fact I recommended like the the book of eSports amazing book I have a book in to Williams he's actually helped me in terms of some advice in getting this book out but like I recommend people to understand the ecosystem it's super important actually we emphasize the value and the importance that employers are looking for in terms of you understanding the industry and being immersed in the specifics of the industry but I don't really go into too much depth we go on a very high level like I mentioned the key key players the key stakeholders but we don't actually like dive into deep into it. I love that that's I really also like how your book is structured with like kind of it is a game in and of itself like you've got all these references to how a video game RPG is kind of like laid out of the ancestry even like building your character all that kind of stuff it's really cool your book has a lot of personality so another question that I have just kind of regarding your book is because you also talked about you know the book of eSports which I have also given a read and you know you're you talk about all these different things how the eSports industry is just so complex it's so hard to just like dive into specifics in one certain way or the other so you go from kind of a higher level what are the parts of your book that focus in and get really really specific is it more on the career side of things is it more on the advice side of things where does your book really focus in? Yeah so the book focuses um so a large part of the book is focusing on the end goal so I think uh within the book one area that I probably would have liked to beef up a bit but it would have gone in too long is actually building up your experience going through grassroots I do outline specifically how to find opportunities because I've had dozens of calls with people on the grassroots level um I've never had issues finding grassroots opportunities for some reason so many people do I don't know sometimes it's like excuses other times are actually seriously just lacking the understanding of where to go so I mentioned specifically this is how you find opportunities this is how you get into an organization this is how you make sure you get more responsibilities and I also tell them at one point do you leave and how should you position yourself should you be a leader and so if so how do you do that but the book more so focuses on the end result so section three is focusing on the six classes and a class in this book is essentially a method of getting into the esport industry so we have swordsmen which is your traditional way to apply to jobs which newsflash by the way for anyone that is focusing primarily on applying through job boards about 15 of jobs go to people that are applying through online means that means for one job that goes to someone online 12 jobs are going through these other methods um or 11 rather sorry 11 out of 12 jobs are going through these other methods and the second one is summoner which is basically the best way to get into the industry is networking having relationships and we I talk specifically how you provide value to people make make someone's day actually comment to them as someone hungry to learn and hungry to benefit the other person and actually build a relationship to get a referral that is the number one way to get a job in the industry and then I also the next class is assassin which is infiltrating an actual company providing so much value that they they realize that you're going to make them more money than it would cost them to hire you so it's like a no-brainer at that point and like we talk about the specific issues of like internships and volunteering like managing and how to overcome that how to be in a position where you're providing the employer with so much information week after week so much value week after week every meeting you should be coming in with something pre-planned and making sure you provide so much value that lands you a job and the next three classes to get a job into the sport industry we are more so like not in the traditional way of getting a job the first one is a samurai which is actually focusing on the gig economy has been blowing up since 2009 where you focus on getting contracts which is how I initially got into e-sports was working contract after contract B2B next one after that is wizard which is an entrepreneurship part I don't really go into the entrepreneurship too much in this book but I talk about what characteristics fit an entrepreneur have and then lastly we as a berserker class which is my favorite which actually got me the contracts and the full-time job offer was actually creating content online and providing it to people about the grassroots and business side of e-sports you know we've been focusing very heavily on this issue of your book and I'm a I have five book and I've interviewed about three or four other authors including William Collis who wrote the book of e-sports and Bessie Jacobson and Borrow Nguyen and I always have an e-sports book that I'm reading but a lot of people who are watching this don't really read books they watch videos they scroll on the internet and and if they're trying to find the answer to something they're going to look for it on the internet or on youtube rather than buy a book tell us why you think it's important for such a deep dive that would lead someone to actually read a book yeah I really appreciate this question because this is the number one complaint I've gotten when I did initial feedback for this book and even during the process of building it and even now when I'm reaching out to people this is the number one complaint I've heard about the book is that people don't read books um young specifically the younger generation and I think I think that's a that's a massive disservice to themselves in in the sense that I only started reading a year ago a year and a half ago and it completely changed my life ever since I've read at least 50 plus non-fiction business and personal development books and it's like again completely changed my life and I think there's there's a value sitting with the book sitting understanding the thoughts of an author who actually spent so much time building this book out them or finding it now the individual who reads it has to invest like um like 10 12 sometimes six or like it's depends on how fast you read but you spend so much time with the author understanding the content there's I I believe there's a profound value in the way we consume books in the way that it's composed versus videos in the way they're incentivized to be composed like really quick uh easy to consume and I don't to answer your question in terms of why people should be going out and reading a book is because let me ask you is it hard to get a job in esports is this something that wakes you up or holds you awake at night like is this something that you seriously want to succeed at and I think the type of people that are going to win in this industry because they're looking for people that are go-getters people that work hard that are um able to adapt to change and have entrepreneurial mindset that are able to bring innovation to one of the fastest growing industries where you need to be willing to be like okay I really want this there's this book here probably a great resource I can either not read the book and maybe make a lot of the same mistakes that the author made because I don't like reading or I can take a chance maybe even buy the kindle which will be 99 cents so like if you're not willing to spend a dollar even to skim through it and see if the content's worthwhile I think you're doing a disservice to yourself outside of that I think people are right um you know are allowed to make their own decisions if they don't want to read the book because I hate reading that's fine because I hated reading when I was in high school I hated people that read so like I completely um empathize with that you took the words right out of my mouth I really think that it's it's a whole matter of just what you said with you know people don't read books anymore it's a lot of time commitment it's a lot of hard work to actually you know force yourself to sit down and do that and you know the kind of people that this book is aimed for are the kind of people that actually will go out and do that and buy the book and sit down and read it so I mean yeah you you said it way better than I ever could I guess one of the biggest questions I've left with so far is just over overall we know that your book talks about getting into the esports industry it talks about breaking in and what kinds of things you should look for talks about exactly what mistakes were made what mistakes to look out for what things to actively pursue so I guess that what I can expect from your book is a full-on guide of how to actually not make these mistakes and how to only do the right things is that is that the correct assumption I'm getting from what my expectations are I would I would add on to that in terms of some things that help you accelerate because there are like my favorite part of the book and I like I came up with this and it just makes complete sense and I like there's research to back to stop about I think it's either 56 or 57 percent of hiring managers are impressed by a candidate that has a website but only it's either seven or nine percent all my resources are like like with the book come with the book so you can double check me on these numbers but it's either seven or nine percent candidates actually have a job posting and I would believe majority of those are people that are entering from like a experience standpoint like more senior people where not like one of the ideas I prescribe is that you need to set up a website and set it up like a sales a landing page you're selling yourself you're building and like what what's even cooler about that is that I want you to put testimonials from people that you've worked with you link their link in there you put the photo and now you know when they're looking for referrals when they're looking to verify that you've done what you've done you've literally put that on the website and now you've also added pictures in terms of what you've done your entire timeline like it is a amazing strategy another element is a video resume it is so so powerful especially in the esport industry not to communicate what you've done your resume will do that just fine it's to create communicate how creative you are the fact that you're willing to go above and beyond and how you make this video look what you do in the video how you engage in this video is going to be super super critical and like an official it's not it's not stuff that you need to do a hundred percent you can get a job without making a website or a video but um these are some of the elements not but by far and not the only ones that I've included in the book to help you go above and beyond that's that's the biggest thing for me in this book is making sure people when they're going through this journey is that they're optimizing their opportunities they're optimizing the time they have without wasting too much of it and then making the right decision but also looking at what we can do to get in front of employers to get these relationships to actually stand out when you're because another big thing just to wrap this answer up is that you have to always think about everything you do to answer the question why you there are hundreds of people that are applying to these jobs thousands or thousands of people that are applying to jobs in general about hundreds of people for a specific job an employer asked that answer the question why should I consider you over everyone else you need those key things that are making you stand out and I think the book really does a good job to make you start thinking about what you can do to stand out and really get a grasp of what the game is so you understand the parameters that you have to work with in terms of actually um impressing these employers because employers are just people you know um I think when you're talking about getting a job anyone can get a job but whether you can get that dream job or get that job that is your goal is you know that's the game changer but you know I don't think that we can talk about the video and the resume and the website without asking the big question what do you think about LinkedIn and use of LinkedIn in promoting yourself to prospective employers. Yeah yeah that is a great question so one of the things I prescribe in the book because uh well a lot of hiring managers do is that once you're in the part where they're vetting individuals are looking at your social media to see why they shouldn't pick you up um like well I was surprised by this but one of the key things that they're looking at is if you're you're spelling and grammar is right and the type of things you're engaging with so the what I prescribe in the booklet is let's turn this around when they look up your social media let's not give them a reason why not to pick you up let's give you a reason why they should pick you up you I'm not I'm not super big into like flashing social status and like things that you're doing I hate using social media generally speaking but in this case I I think you should be using your social media you should have a public social media of just what you're doing in esports everything you're involved in every event you attend you should be posting that on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a key platform I love that you've brought up LinkedIn because that is going to be a big one here for esports and just business in general a posting everything every event you've gone through the books that you're reading the things that you learn the events that you've attended if you put that on your LinkedIn for people that are going to come and look at your profile your stack in order to once they're in that vetting process really be attracted because they want people immersed in the industry because that's what the your competitors are doing they're immersed and you need to be immersed to keep up with how fast it's changing but and when you're doing that as well what's going to happen like you mentioned and I also mentioned this in the book as well is the fact that once you do this and get into the habit just to build out this portfolio employers and people will see this and when you reach out and network they will see this um if you connect with people that are looking to hire and you're just posting about this information and you're mentioning that you know you're looking to get into esports and you're super involved in the grassroots side it's going to be something that stands out and it's going to give you more and more opportunities to land that dream job that you're looking for. Wow you've actually just sold me on actually using my LinkedIn more because it's one of the things that I've been struggling with as well I'm you know 23 I'm definitely in the Gen Z category and there's not a lot of people in my Andrage that are actually using LinkedIn as a social media platform a lot of people just use it as like a secondary resume just list all of the things that I've done on the timeline there all the work experience and then done be done with it maybe like a couple posts from my employer but um yeah I think that you've just sold me on actually updating my LinkedIn and making more posts like that so what are what are some other like really good starter things to do uh you know like that I guess I guess that's not necessarily a starter thing but what are some more mid-tier things to get done on the to-do list for this book? Yeah 100% so like in an earlier chapter after or nearing the start of section two there's a chapter called the optimal leveling up strategy where we go through uh where the reader is instructed to go through an exercise where he scans a number of different job postings to understand what they're doing or what they need to do to build up the skill level and also reach out to some people to try to understand what they're actively involved in what kind of projects are they expected to do and really get involved in terms of building those out on the grassroots side and you essentially want to have this checklist I call it a missions list where you have to accomplish these things both on the hard skill side and the soft skills soft skills are so important about 77% of hiring managers value soft skills as much as hard skills 16% value it more um and the fact that you're on entry level work and this is esports one of the fastest growing industries where change is inevitable it is your soft skills are so so important and also um as I mentioned earlier in the chapter I prescribed specifically for people to really get involved understand the resources they should be consuming but I also give them lists of networking events uh different opportunities that they should be involved in because a big big thing that you can do to situate yourself well is um to network play playing as a summoner is essentially the class that really gets you yeah the job which is summoners are networking it's going through these networking events engaging with people letting them know that you're a younger individual looking to get into the business um actually reach out provide value to these individuals that's a key key part that I actually prescribe in each element so when you're at university and college you want to actually provide value to your classmates not not to say that that wouldn't necessarily get you a job or not to say that it's going to necessarily even benefit you it's definitely a long-term investment because those relationships will go a long way especially once they start you know situating themselves not only in esports but in other industries that could be sponsors strategic partners possible investors um but also you do the same thing when you're working at these grassroots organizations is providing value helping people out making their days providing them resources and then you transition that into esports because what how you do one thing is how you really do everything and that's why I think in like when it comes back to social media the reason why your grammar and spelling is one of the biggest sticklers I believe it was the biggest stickler to um people that are looking to hire you when they're scanning your social media is because if you're making mistakes when you're spelling typical stuff on social media what do you what do they expect you to do when you're actually making important reports or have important things to deal with so making sure you build out those habits and routines is a large part of what we kind of do to prepare you to actually get a job okay you know so for a last question which is kind of a compound question okay I want to ask you two things okay one of them is um with the pandemic um are do you believe that the jobs are more remote now or are they still in person and then my secondary question to this is what do you think the future of the job market is so basically the pandemic and the future yeah those are those are great questions in terms of your first question for jobs being more more um remote obviously currently with the situation there's a lot more jobs remotely than they were previously and it's an interesting question to fully understand if they're going to continue that way um a lot of people believe so especially with just how technology is involving and people are starting to notice that people can do their jobs at home just as productively um as they could in person but there's also a lot of downsides that companies are noticing in terms of culture um because culture is massive there's a there's a lot of studies showing that your business culture actually affects your bottom line significantly so that is one key issue you know meetings and human interactions like those different elements and also there's a lot of old school within esports or sorry in business in general but I don't think there'll be too much of a massive transition into remote I definitely think it's going to increase and I think within like even within esports specifically like I have I worked in an organization where they were struggling to do some live streaming um stuff because now they had to build a new infrastructure an entire new framework online which traditionally was in person and it was like extremely complicated extremely butchered the like the cost it was way more than if it was just in person and so like as much as I love for everything to be remote all the time because that's how I personally love working is just home alone um I don't think that's always going to be the case and could you could you reiterate your second question that's just slipped my mind here kind of running out of time but why don't we just let you have the last word and tell us how people can buy your book when it's available and how they can reach you 100% so if you're interested in the book it will be launched November 3rd until then if you want to be notified go to esportshow.com slash book and that's going to lead you to a landing page where you can join the esport how discord server just join that server you'll be notified on the day of otherwise go to that link and you'll find an amazon link where you'll be able to purchase the book at launch it's going to be as

I'll be talking with Ari Fox the CEO of Gamakon and producer of that because you know esports conference see you then


What's up gamers, welcome to the channel. I'm currently in a Flux contract boss fight and in this video, I would be showing you how you can fight a Flux contract and not take any damage pretty much and run through all these and farm them all and all the things associated with it. You can have a lot of fun with this video so get ready to hunt and farm some Flux contracts. Let's get into it. You might be asking, what are the benefits of doing all these Flux constructs? Well, one is that they all drop their green core which pretty much you can fuse to a Zonet weapon which is going to enhance your damage. You can also add it to other weapons and that's going to make it look a lot cooler as well. Next, they drop Zonet charges which you can use at dispensers to get Zonet parts. Sometimes they also drop Zonet parts but it's not a crazy amount but the Zonet charges are definitely going to be great for dispensers and defeating bosses like these Flux constructs will raise your EXP which will pretty much eventually lead to Silver monster spawning in your world and higher level constructs like the gold ones which are level 4, Captain 4 and Soldier construct force. I just also wanted to do a quick disclaimer. You can use any build you want to beat up these Flux constructs. You don't have to do exactly what I'm doing. You could use the Silver Lionel weapons from our Lionel video or you could even use some of the Bone weapons that we put in our Glyox slaying video. So feel free to do it however you want. I'm just giving you a basic outline of what you can possibly do. Also please feel free to write what you do in the comments below. It'll help everyone out so much and it also helps me out and I really appreciate you guys for putting all that information down in the comments. Okay, so this is a Flux construct one and you can start initiating the fight by just maybe taking a shot at its head. They're not too crazy to fight. So what's going to happen is Flux construct one is going to run up to you and you can run right underneath it and what you can notice about this is that its core is always going to be in the same spot and that's going to make it break apart. And then you can pretty much just nuke a construct one. These are probably the most fun ones to deal with because this core is just not moving. So we're going to see and prolong it just so you can see what a phase two is of this or its next move and it takes a bit. Like you have a lot of time in order to completely do something here. So look at this. This is pretty cool. You can actually use the blocks to your shield as well. Just want to point it out there. Then they have this very little platform. On this little platform you can do either jump or you can do the completely cool ability called the Recall which you can hop on it and it just jumps up to it. But like I said, this one's not too hard to reach. You can literally go right underneath and just shoot it. And another thing that you could do at this part of the fight is you can pretty much just go underneath it with your altar hand and just pull this out. And the whole thing's going to come apart. And then you can pretty much just finish off this thing just like that. Fight is really easy. Contract one is the most easiest fight that you're going to have. And it's a stable fight. So you can use this to get a bunch of zone charges and this drop over here which isn't that OP. So if you want to see what it looks like on a zonite weapon this is my 10 mighty zonite sword. Pretty much if we are to do an altar hand here this is what we're going to get. A flux core one pounder with the 20 zonite sword and the construct one core is going to be 10 and the mighty zonite sword is going to double up. So it's 20 and 10 to give you a 30. That's how much power this weapon is going to have which is funny because the master sword is actually calculated to be a 30 damage. So there you go.  If you want to know where some flux construct one locations are there's one over here right from bravery islands located over here. There's going to be two in the top left corner in the hebra sky area. So one all the way on this corner here and another one over here on this sky island and then the one that you can pretty much find at the tutorial spot on tutorial island at the great sky island. So there's going to be four pretty much of these in the sky. Now if we go down to the depths you're going to find one over here in this location which is going to be northeast of this light route over here. You're going to find another one over at this location which is going to be pretty much right in front of these two light routes. So you can mark this one on your map as well and we're going to have one over here only at the bottom part of the map and the closest one I can get to you is this light route all the way to here. There's going to be three of them in the depths that you can kill. Now before we move on to flux construct two let's go over a couple of other important things that you should know. Let's say for example you did fight a flux construct monster and you decided to attach it on to another weapon right and not a flux weapon. You're like okay I need to save this for later. Well luckily a lot of you know who watch my channel but for those who don't know there is a spot in Tarrytown where you can disassemble weapons and take the parts you need and use it another time on another weapon. So pretty much we're going to break it down for 20 rupees then you select your weapon you're going to hear a little noise and then it's going to separate the two items. So now you can pick up your soldier's claymore or whatever your original weapon was that you just used as a temporary hold and then I can grab let's say my mighty zonite spear and I can just go ahead and fuse that to the correct zonite weapon because we're going to get more damage from these weapons. So that's pretty much what you're going to do anytime you ever run into an issue where you want to separate the piece from the flux construct. So keep that in mind Tarrytown is your spot to go to to do this. If you want to upgrade your flux constructs even further well you can just head over to the Alden mountain area by Goron city and I've marked up these spots where we love to do this on our channel called octorock enhancing of weapons and we have a whole entire video just on octorock enhancing and how you can create the most powerful weapons in the game but as usual for new people on the channel I will give the breakdown of pretty much what you have to do find your first octorock go ahead and drop your weapon after you drop your weapon the octorock is going to suck it up it's going to sparkle giving the weapon a modifier and then spit it back at you go ahead pick it up you should see that modifier this now has critical hit and then go ahead and just shoot that octorock then head over to another location on this map where your second octorock is then when you find octorock number two what you want to do is go in front of it exactly when it burles in the ground go ahead and save and pretty much at this point you're going to want to drop your weapon every time you reload your game until you get yourself a good modifier which is going to be the plus 10 I'm not going to try to get that for the sake of this video but you get what I mean so pretty much reload your game if you didn't get it it's going to suck it up again sparkle and spit it up always save on the second one and I got attack up plus eight okay we're pretty close pretty close and now this weapons of dealing 40 damage is now dealing 48 damage so two more we would have done 50 per hit which is pretty good now let's talk about mighty zonite weapons and the easiest place where you can get some these are going to be located down in the spirit temple which is going to be a whole entire quest that you're going to have to do you can follow my video right over here if you want access to the shop at all times now once you complete that entire quest line you're going to have this construct sitting over here in this exact spot if you finish my video you're going to know exactly where I am and when you talk to this construct it's going to basically tell you that you can buy any of the weapons from here now it's only going to be one in stock and when you purchase something it's then going to say it's not anymore in stock so what you're going to have to do is just make a quick campfire and when you do that and move to like the next day or another time you can go ahead and talk to the construct again and then you're going to see that it's going to have it restocked completely so this is a great place where you can get yourself mighty zonite weapons in exchange for some zonite which for a lot of people shouldn't be too hard another great thing that you could do to get powerful zonite weapons is going to be fighting any of the constructs that you find throughout the entire world as you get your overall experience up in the game you're going to get a lot of stronger constructs showing up in the world so it's a great thing when you start getting soldier construct 4 or captain construct 4 these are the gold ones that start to appear on your map and when you take these ones out it will drop base attachments for the mighty zonite weapons that you pretty much can have as well as their horns they also function as great attachments to power you up so that's just another option on getting really good zonite weapons so for everyone who's curious here's what the mighty zonite beer looks like with the pulverizer on it here's what it looks like with the double-handed sword pretty cool pretty cool here's what it looks like with the single-handed weapon but this is the the flux construct too this is what the spear looks like without anything so you get this little cool bluish glow just like the zonite shield this is what the single-handed sword looks like when you don't have anything attached to it I kind of wish these always looked like this with the blue glow and this is what the long sword looks like oh this one looks so good look at that and pretty much this is what it looks like when you have the shield and the sword so you get that nice glow effect so yeah that's pretty much what they look like without any attachments on them hey real quick if you're enjoying the video can you hit that subscribe button that helps out the channel a lot and you'll know when I drop a new video now that we're done with all this let's move on to flux construct 2 as you can see its vulnerability is not going to be right in front of my face and it's going to do a teleport over to you attack this is going to slam the ground completely right on a double hit then what it's going to do over here it's going to either try to stomp you or take one hand and lift it up and smash yeah that's a smash attack now the cool part about this one is you can start removing pieces of the flux construct 2 this will make it so it can never step on you but that can step on you that can do some damage okay so in order to break that you're going to have to remove the bottom part of its two and now at this point it's never going to hit you but you can see its vulnerability spot is right over here and it's not really going to be moving or anything like that I also wanted to say that we can do some ascension tricks on number two which is a little more fun than doing it on a one because we can get up to its weak spot if we want this is so cool and now I'm right by its weak spot so this is another option you can do obviously arrows are like pretty easy to do and then you can just whack this part and it completely separates and then you can beat this up however way you want and then it's going to do this attack where you notice that flux one was actually much lower during this attack but flux two is a lot higher than flux one so when it drops these down you can just go ahead and do a recall on this hop on that and pretty much it's just going to bring you right back to the top it's pretty simple here now you can shoot it with the arrow do whatever you want at this point when you're on top of it break it apart now I always wonder what would happen if you just did this it does not let you throw it off okay this is another phase of it it's going to do this little cube movement and something easy that you want to do is kind of rip off its core when it's coming at you you can rip off its core actually anytime you want but this is the only time you really probably need to rip out its core and that's going to completely separate it out and then pretty much flux contract two is just going to rinse and repeat and you can just do the same things over again ripping it out under ripping it out under grab its arm one grab its arm two he can't do anything use this here hit the vulnerability spot it drops you can use ultra hand at any time to grab it so or move any other blocks honestly because it can't do anything to you and you can finish it off yes I kind of made that a little unnecessarily long for flux construct two but I just wanted to show you all the options you had when you're fighting it that way you could pick how you want to make cool Twitter clips maybe of of ascending up into it doing some cool attacks stuff like that but that's pretty much what flux construct two is like a little bit different than one more HP and it's going to drop this thing over here okay so we actually have this from example one where it was a mighty zonite sword in a flux construct one core so I'm just going to go ahead and destroy that so now you can see my zonite sword is back at 10 I'm going to go ahead and fuse the two one so you can see what that looks like and now you can see that my zonite sword doubled to 20 plus the 20 construct two core and I'm going to have a total attack of 40 that's going to be 10 more than the master sword so 40 per hit it's pretty good it's not actually that bad all right so locations for the flux constructs two let's go so right to the west of the great sky island you're going to find one over here at the south high roll area so this one's going to be pretty much over a here next up is going to be one over here by the lanayru sky right over here so a good jump point and probably be right from here at the uplands or on a sky view tower to bring you up to the sky in order to get to here now another one which is interesting is going to be by the wind temple area so this is where you're going to find another two going north of that at the so kala sky is going to be where you're going to find one as well so luckily they put three of them right in a row over here on the sky island now let's go down to the depths because there is a quite a bit of good spots where we can hunt these ones so this one's going to be located over here this is where high roll castle is and this is the light route here so the netta minute light route and we're going to go south of that you'll find one right over here now let's hit the ones north up here you're going to find one by the kathnim light route which is going to be just a little bit northwest from that one over here you're going to find another one this is going to be from the teyamik light route and it's going to be in its own individual room area which is going to be interesting then all the way over here we have another one just chilling and the closest light route I'd say is going to be either it's so hard to say these backwards this light route I'm just going to say this light route over here is going to be to that one or this one will bring you towards where that construct too is now going down we're going to have one by the abandon linae route mine so you can get one over here if we go further down to this spot we're going to have a whole cluster of them here now this one's going to be interesting because you just have to go down the chasm in the nature snow field to find this one and opposite over here you come down this chasm at the east hill chasm and you can come down and you can hit these two flux construct twos which are located right to the east of that one so feel free to mark those up and then our final one that we're going to talk about is going to be located right over here by the abandon Gerudo mine so that's another location where you can come down to and fight the flux construct too and you can feel free to screenshot the overall depth map as well now it's time for flux construct three so I'm going to be making the flux construct three fight very very easy for you so this one's in the sky islands and this one just pretty much walks around compared to the other ones that are just sitting there on platforms with its eyes scanning where the people are so this is going to be so fun all right so get your alt your hand ready and he's going to approach you right so as soon as he makes that run towards you dash under its feet as soon as you dash under get your alt your hand rip out one rip out two rip out its arm oh we missed this arm okay if you miss that arm then just jump and grab that last arm there we go yeah now at this point at this point it's not going to be able to do anything to you and you can just pretty much take pictures with this thing in fact I'm going to take a photo there we go that's going in the album now I know where I can find flux construct three you see that it did not even touch me and at that point you can decide when you want to attack it how you want to attack it but this thing is useless so what you want to do with flux construct three is it's going to shift its parts around completely right you see that part that's going to keep going back and forth wherever it needs to but you don't even need to jump up to get to that part you can remove more parts on this thing to make it drop down so yep you can't step on me so I'm just going to take out another part here that's number five and that's number six so it looks like six parts are enough to knock a flux construct three down you can go ahead and just beat up the part and then it's going to come back together so this is pretty much the same thing as flux construct one and flux construct two it's going to throw something down here and you're just going to want your rewind ability pretty much on this thing I said rewind I mean like breath of the wild I mean recall there we go and that's going to bring you all the way back up to the top at that point you're just going to float wherever you need to go and get to work on that to get my master sword out just you know and you can still just keep doing damage on this thing it's fun and it has one more phase which is the block phase there it is this is the block phase so what you can do here is pretty much also rip out more blocks and you can just target the core one if you want and when you target the core like this the whole block will break apart so that's going to be the simple way of pretty much taking out the flux construct 3 but if you have a strong weapon you only have to bother seeing any of the phases besides the first one and that's how you do it flux construct 3 and I'm going to fuse this on my mighty zonite spear so this is what it looks like here and if you're curious about the spear damage the flux construct 3 core is going to add 32 damage onto it so that's going to bring me to a total of 50 you can basically add this to any of the weapons and just get a 32 plus on top of it but specifically you want to stick with flux construct weapons because those base weapons damage when you attach a part of a construct to it or a zonite part now let's talk about the flux construct number 3 locations because you saw how fun it was to take those out so there I have a bunch in a row pretty much when you look at the sky islands you're going to have one over here at the Tabantha area at Lightcast Island so you're going to have one here and as we move down north Gerudo sky you're going to have one in the west area as well over here on this platform right above Satori Mountain then we're going to keep going down over here and when we're in the Farence sky area this is right above the Hyrule Bridge you can have another one located right here so you could be hitting all these pretty much if you have a nice flying machine coming down smacking these up and then we have one located in the Thunderhead Isles this is what it looks like when it's uncovered but for those who have a storm you probably don't want to fight this one until you uncover this area right to the west of that we're going to have another one over here this is going to be the south Nicluta sky area and then right above that we're going to have another one over here that's going to be located over here so it's seriously a beautiful continuation of these Flux 3 constructs together it's a very clean line of Flux 3 constructs all the way here and then as we go all the way up there is one located right over here next to where the labyrinth is speaking of labyrinths I did make a video on all the labyrinths on how to get the Spirit Armor and pretty much a spoiler when you get to the bottom of the labyrinths on each of the labyrinths you're going to be fighting a Flux 3 construct so these are going to be located there I think these are only going to be a one-time fight because I did come back during a Blood Moon and I noticed they did not respawn so those two up there and then we're going to have one right over here these are going to be the three labyrinth ones they do not respawn again so once you take them out you're done the other ones that we're going to talk about is going to be located close by to the abandoned Ebra mine the closest light route I could say is this light route and you'd be heading over here in this corner and then you have another one over here which is going to be west of this exact light route and it's going to be right there on its platforms you'll be able to see those ones on this side going down on the west side we're going to have another one located in the Gerudo Canyon Mine so this would be right via the chasm from the Gerudo summit coming down and you'd be able to come over and fight this Flux construct 3 moving over here at the bottom right corner of the map we're going to have a Flux 3 over here and the closest ways you could come is via this light route and then head down to this little edge this is where the nice geoglyph is above this and finally we're going to have a Flux construct 3 over here which is going to be easily accessible from this light route over here coming right down to this and those are pretty much going to be all the spots where you can fight the Flux 3 and I know those are going to be the most important because they have the best drops so really this video comes down to hunting Flux 3 constructs now you're a professional Flux construct Hunter farmer so you should go ahead and check out this video so you can be good at this too seriously click on it
