Welcome to Digital Asset News that gets up stories in crypto, current digital assets and bring them down to bite-sized pieces today. Fascinating stuff. First up, Filecoin Token, which was just listed this morning, sees a almost 300% increase in a day as Gemini Kraken announced the listing. Now we're going to take a look at what happened in a very short amount of time and it's going to blow your mind also. Next up, Polkadot's tokenized Bitcoin wants to bring DeFi beyond Ethereum. I'm going to take a look at exactly what was wrapped Bitcoin and what it could potentially be and do. Next up, Bitcoin is getting two major improvements in historic code update. And if you know anything about Bitcoin, it rarely does this, so this is kind of like a big milestone. And finally, how much Bitcoin does it take to break into the 1% club? I'm going to look at different theories about what it could be. Some people say it's 0.28, some people say it's up to 15, and while I'm going to tell you, they're all wrong. But before we get into that, let's take a look at what's going on with the market. So today it is Thursday, October 15th, almost 1pm, Texas time. And what do we got? Well, Bitcoin is almost at 11.5, so not too bad at 1.6%. It's up though, 7.5 almost, or more than that, with a 7-day period. So I'll take those numbers. Ethereum 377, I'm hoping to see a breakthrough at 400, but we will see. However, it is up 10% for the week, so I'll take that W. Tell us, Tether, XRP, watch out, 0.2%, Bitcoin Cash, 3.7% up. And remember, Bitcoin Cash is going to do a hard fork pretty soon, I think it's November. So you could potentially have a big little windfall in your hands, but just be aware that a lot of the things that have forked off of Bitcoin didn't do so hot. So this again is a fork of a fork. If I had to put money on anything, it would probably just be Bitcoin Cash. Binance Coin up 2.7, which is great. Congratulations to the big Binance Coin holders. Chainlink up 20% for the week, and only 0.8 for today, but hey, I'll take that one again. Polkadot, Cardano, Litecoin, Bitcoin SV, everything's up. This is a pretty good day. Not that it's up massively, but just a little bit of a stride, and we will take it. And what's up big time? Ah, Filecoin. Filecoin is up 101%, and if you notice, it's in a 24-hour timeframe, and then of course the 7-day, there's nothing there because this is the first couple of hours that's actually been listed, and it's sitting at around 60 bucks right now as we see it. So let's break into the top story because this to me is fascinating. Actually, before we get into that Filecoin, I want to share with you this video. It was fantastic. It was from CJ. He had shared this, and he's over there at Market Rebellion. And it's actually Peter Lynch, and he's talking about when do you sell? Obviously, he's not talking about cryptocurrencies, but it's sage advice, and it's interesting to see that one of the big players was wrong multiple, multiple times, and really goes and talks about, hey, just be an investor. So take a listen. Funny in the stock, all you can lose is 100%. I've done that. And your great mistake is selling a good company, and it doubles, and it triples, and it quadruples, because you make a lot of mistakes, and so it's ones that go up tenfold. I call them the ten baggers. Some of my mistakes just saying, oh my god, this stock is too high, and I was wrong. And you had to figure out what inning am I in this baseball game. I sold Toys R Us way too early. It went up 20-fold after I sold. I did the same thing at Home Depot. Those are probably my two greatest mistakes I've ever made. When should you sell? Well, you ought to find out why you bought a stock. If you're saying it's a sickle company, and they're doing poorly, and they're doing awful, you wait till things are getting better, and they're doing terrific, and then you sell it. But with a growth company, you have to say, Walmart's case, ten years after they went public, you could have bought the stock and made 500 times your money. Because they're still only in 15% of the United States. And they could say, why can't they go to 17? Why can't they go to 19? Why can't they go to 23? So for the next four decades, they went around the country. So you have to say to yourself, in this stock, I have a 10-year story, a 20-year story, I'll be able to write that down and follow that. That's what I do with the company. And that's your decision. That's how you sell it. No, you still buy a company, and you buy a company to grow. And if it's a textile company, or it's a bronze company, a software company, you better understand what they do. And if they do well, the stock will do well, no matter what happens to the market. If the Dow Jones today was 1,000 or 500, you would have made a lot of money in McDonald's. You would have made a lot of money in Johnson & Johnson. You would have made a lot of money in Gillette. These companies' earnings have gone up a lot the last 30 years. And if the market was 50,000, you would have lost money in Burlington Industries. I recommended that in 1969. I think it's gone from 34 to 2 with no stock splits. These earnings have been terrible. Well, your honesty actually makes an important point, which is people with the best batting averages in the world don't bat 1,000. I sometimes get angry mail, particularly in bear markets, saying so-and-so recommended sets and sets, and it went down. Well, how often did you come up with a clinker? Well, this is a funny business. You don't have to write even 5 times out of 10. If the times you write, you make a double and triple. It offsets all those times you lose 20% or 30%. So when you buy a cycle, it says, how much can I lose, and how much can I make? And you ought to be able to make a lot. So again, the investments that you make, are they symmetrical or asymmetrical? I can tell you right now, in my opinion, cryptocurrency assets are a vastly asymmetrical investment. The downside is, yeah, you could lose a lot of money, but the upside is tremendous. So those are just my thoughts. Now let's go back to the big article. So what's going on? There's a thing called File and it's blowing up. So here's what we got. Filecoin is basically a distributed storage network based on a blockchain mechanism. Unlike proof of work, Filecoin leverages proof of storage itself. In short, the miner's power is in the consensus protocol is proportional to the amount of storage it provides.  What is the whole purpose of this? And it was quite a question by crypto personality John Carvalho. I don't know who that is. He asked if anyone could articulate the need for the token for the purpose of cloud storage. And it's a good point. Like, I mean, if there's cloud storage, there's cloud storage everywhere, right? Amazon Web Services, Amazon does that. Android Services for your phone. The iPhone as well and the iCloud. I mean, every place has cloud storage. So why we need this? Well, think about it this way. Where do they store this information? Well, it's on servers and it's in these huge warehouses where they have to either buy the space or rent the space. Then the servers themselves, which they have to also purchase, which will run down because that's massive overhead. You can make a lot of money, I'm sure, but it's kind of, if you really look at it kind of inefficient, but what if you could use the resources that are in everybody's computers or everybody's phones or wherever else it is? And this is how I see it. If you're able to use unused storage so people can store their pictures and data and things like that, that seems like a better proposition and probably a cheaper way to do things than by having a centralized server, which is super high cost. So that's how I see Filecoin. And I have to say that Filecoin sounds super boring, but today it was anything but going back in history, Filecoin event marks one of the most highly anticipated launches in the industry. And rather than waiting for the network and its token to go live, several exchanges hopped on to list the coin, which is kind of funny how some of these exchanges, they're really staunch like, well, we can't list this one because it doesn't have a mainnet. Well, didn't seem to matter here because even for the launch of the mainnet, Filecoin noted an increase of a whopping 270% over the last 24 hours according to coin market cap or as I call it Binance cap because that's who owns it. At the time of writing, token was priced at 110 bucks and it held a market cap of about 24 hours of trading volume. So what really is going on can be just summed up in this chart. Look at this nonsense. So trading went live at 8.30 Eastern time. Looks like it started off around somewhere around 30 bucks. Okay. So when you get in there, I mean, you could have just got in early like, hey, here it is. You know, here's my 30 bucks.  And then boom, it goes down 28. I'm losing. I got to sell. And then of course, what happens? $97. And then what happens? 94. Not too bad. And then it hits this big peak. And at this point, this is where everybody kind of goes wrong sometimes. They go, wow, it started off here. I got in here. I'm going to 105. It's never going down. I'm the best trader of all time. I'm a super genius. Everybody look at me. And here's the thing. That's exactly what I thought in 2017 during the parabolic bull run. And look how that turned out. So in 2018, everything crashed down. It's the same thing here.  And this is a pretty good case. So we have 105. I'm hoping people sold. And it looks like a lot of people did because this is exactly what happened. 95. 86. 84. 72. 68. 63. And now we go to 55. 81. However, you have to understand, even if you're 30, what is that? That's like 50% gain or somewhere around there. 60%. You're still up pretty well. Where will it actually end up at the end of the day? Who knows? But the big thing is don't chase shiny objects as much as you can. Look at the team. Look at what it does. Do you believe in the project? Do you believe it's going to be there for a long time? Now you can trade. I'm sure this was pretty fun if you did it.  But I don't like to do that too much. A lot of stress for me. I got other stuff going on. So I just invest. I'm not going to invest in Filecoin per se, but I just thought it was an interesting example of how things can go a little bit crazy. In the crypto world. And this isn't the first and it's not the last. But let me know what you think of the comments section and let's move on. Next up. Polkadot's tokenized Bitcoin wants to bring DeFi beyond Ethereum. So what is this? Well, this will bring Bitcoin's liquidity to DeFi applications on Polkadot and its network of parachines. When we think of DeFi, mostly it's all built on Ethereum. You're actually 20 tokens and Bitcoin can't do that. They can't just go from Bitcoin or, you know, on the Bitcoin network over to the Ethereum network. It does not work like that unless you wrap it. So Polkadot introduces tokenized Bitcoin blockchain teams are working to replicate the grand success of tokenized Bitcoin products like wrapped Bitcoin. So we have to take a step back and we want to bring everybody up to speed. So what is wrapped Bitcoin? So this was an old article just so you know, in January 31st, 2019, this is not new. But it just goes to explain what exactly wrapped Bitcoin is. So wrapped Bitcoin launched on Ethereum allows users to make Bitcoin based transactions on a different blockchain. Wrap Bitcoin officially became a tradable ERC-20 asset on Wednesday evening as a Bitcoin based derivative token. Wrap Bitcoin is minted when actual Bitcoin is deposited with a custodian. That's the big thing. It's with a custodian, a centralized figure, person, entity, conglomerate, something, a custodian on a one-to-one ratio.  This allows traders, and of course this is the question, why? Why? What is the point? This allows traders to effectively use Bitcoin's value on Ethereum and its dapps.  So I always think is like, what's the point? I mean, couldn't you just take your Bitcoin and then sell it for Ethereum, then take that Ethereum and then transfer it over to your wallet and then use that in the decentralized exchange. You can or you just do a wrapped Bitcoin as they call it. So there are some, there's a little bit of a benefit here and there. And of course, what will be great now is if we are able to do that on Polkadot. Because Polkadot, you're not wrapping it into an ERC-20 token, it's in the Polkadot. And the Polkadot chain or the Polkadot token, what's great about that is Polkadot doesn't just deal with ERC-20. It is interoperability across a broad spectrum of blockchain. So you're not just stuck with going to the Ethereum, which a lot of things are built on Ethereum, let's be honest. But you have a lot more options and that's the big thing. So a cross-chain bridge will onboard the Bitcoin's liquidity, the Polkadot's ecosystem. After the Bitcoin parachain goes live in Q1 2021. And let me just tell you this, that's amazing that they're able to say, hey, we have a, this is what we want to do. This is our project and we're going to get it done like four or five months because, you know, in March, that's the end of Q1. So if they get it done before then, that's amazing.  And these guys are like, hey, we're going to do this in like four months, no problem. Users will be able to lock their Bitcoin and issue POCA BTC, which is one-to-one backed. Similarly, to redeem their Bitcoin, users will have to burn POCA BTC on the BTC parachain. So to issue it, you go from Bitcoin to this wrap Bitcoin, you can do whatever you want to.  So interesting concept. So what's the advantage? Well, the advantage is Bitcoin and POCA DOT is that the network is highly interoperable, we just talked about. This means that Bitcoin can do more by interacting with multiple blockchains all at once. This means that DeFi and POCA BTC could spread quickly beyond just the Ethereum ecosystem. So that is the whole big thing. And just as a recap, I want to go over one thing. What is POCA DOT? And this is from POCA DOT.network, just what everything is. And why is it so great? So POCA DOT is a next generation blockchain. Just know that. And the reason why I invested into this and I believe into it is mostly because of Dr. Gavin Wood, who was one of the founders of Ethereum or the Ethereum Mafia, as I have to call it. This guy's already done it one time and he's got a great idea. And he was essentially the CTO, the chief technical person along with Vitalik and a couple other people. But he was one that really made it go. And I read this book. It is fantastic. If you got an opportunity, pick it up. It's called The Infinite Machine. And it goes over the history of how Ethereum was created, the different bumps and obstacles along the way, and how they got it actually to market. And it was fascinating. And the information about there about Dr. Wood or Gavin, it was essentially why I invested into POCA DOT because of that book. Anyhow, what does POCA DOT do? Well, it scales easily. Blockchains and isolation can only process a limited amount of traffic. POCA DOT is a sharded multi-chain network, meaning you can process many transactions on several chains in parallel, eliminating the bottlenecks that occurred on legacy networks, Bitcoin, that process transactions one by one. And Ethereum 1.0 is one of those as well. So that's big for scaling. And as we start to build up, we need to have those high transactions per second, just like what Visa has. I mean, $150,000 is pretty darn good that Visa can produce as opposed to Ethereum's $17,000 to $45,000 and Bitcoin $6,000 to $10,000. So we need that to happen. And it goes over how to specialize in the work together and self-covering and all that stuff. But to me, that's the big one. It's all interoperability, and it's going to make everything a little bit smoother, a little bit better, and a little bit faster. So let me know what you think in the comments section. Let's move on. Next up, Bitcoin's getting two major improvements in code. That's big because it rarely happens. So what's going on? The much-awaited Schnorr and Taproot proposals, first of all, horrible name, Schnorr, were implemented to Bitcoin Core earlier today as per history available on GitHub to check it out. When activated, they will bring about better transactional capabilities. That's huge to Bitcoin while increasing the network's privacy features. So that's enormous. We're going to have better transaction and more privacy features on Bitcoin. Who doesn't want that? I've been a big negative Nelly about the ability of Bitcoin to be an actual currency because I always talk about in 2017 what happened when people started to use it more and more and more. The fees became outrageous and the transaction times were just ridiculously slow. It sometimes would take days to move Bitcoin. That's not what it was developed for. So if this happens, I will be eating some crow if this can actually happen. But it's exciting time. Hopefully it does. So as far as testing, they've undergone one month of testing. Hopefully they do months, but whatever. The Taproot proposal alone saw over 150 developers reviewing the code. And that's one of the big things about Bitcoin. It moves slow. It moves slow because they're very cautious. And there's two ways of thinking about it. Be cautious and be perfect and then release it. Cardano does the same type of thing. Or just start building, throw it out there and see what breaks. And that's kind of the theory behind Yarn and Wi-Fi. And Kronhe, the developer or the founder that did that. They just say, hey, Kronhe's like, I'm just going to, I'm not going to do a test net. I'm just going to start building, throw it out there and whatever breaks, I'll fix it later. And it keeps breaking. Of course, he fixes it. The problem is it gets hacked and people lose money. And that's a big thing. So there's advantages and disadvantages for both ways of doing it. But I mean, that's above my pay grade. So I kind of do like this conservative approach a little bit more because I'm a little bit more on that side, but everybody's got their own opinion. Anyhow, moving down, Schnorr is an alternative to Bitcoin's current multi-signature wallet mechanism, which as the name suggests, uses multiple private keys to facilitate a transaction from a Bitcoin wallet. However, the Schnorr update combines multiple keys to a single key when a user transacts using Schnorr. This is definitely reduced to the data size of multi-sign payments and helps to adjust the network. So essentially they kind of go in reverse, it sounds like to me, but it does reduce the congestion. Maybe the TPS or transactions per second will actually be increased. And that's good news, I suppose. Taproot takes Schnorr further by introducing a new transaction output version and new ways for users to define conditions for when they spend Bitcoin, which one advantage that of even following users under very certain conditions, they can regain their lost coins. Let me say that again. Under very certain conditions, you can regain access to the lost coins, and this is huge because if you look at how much Bitcoin, this is all debatable, how much has actually been lost. In 2010, 11, 12, people were throwing away their computers with Bitcoin on it because it's only like with pennies, you know? So why would I keep it around? And PCs sometimes break down and it's easier to just throw them away and not transfer anything. So we've probably lost, who knows, two to four million, six million on the high end, if you believe some studies. And we're going to go over that in the next article about the 1% to be a Bitcoiner. But I think this is enormous because this is one of those barriers to entry that we talk about as far as people getting into cryptocurrency. The last that's which is, hey, if I send it the wrong person or the wrong address or just screw up, it's gone, right? I can't call customer service like I can with my bank. Yep, that's right. So if you screw up, it's gone. And that's one of those things about becoming your own bank. It's a pain. It is a little bit of a pain because we rely on the banks to do all these different types of things. But there are the advantages of being your own bank and being in charge of everything and not getting screwed over by the big bankers. And this is just one of those problems. So I think it's interesting that this is going to, they're going to allow to access lost coins. I don't know how it's going to work. We'll see how it all gets rolled out. But again, this is a, it's a pretty big deal because there's very rare times when Bitcoin gets any upgrade or any type of new code because it takes a long due thing. So we'll see how it all works out. Let me just think of the comments. Let's move on to the last article. Last up, how much does it take to be in the 1% club? I always love these stories when I first got in because I'm like, I want to be there. I want to get that. And over time it's morphed into like these wildly ranging numbers between, you know, from now on this article talks about 0.28 to 15 Bitcoin, which I think is ridiculous. But here's what it all says. So 1% club is when someone's in the top 1% of Bitcoin holders. Got it. So there's the first analogy or analysis with my Jake Levison. And this is in 2002. An analyst for BlockWorks Group. He said, if you own 0.28 Bitcoin, you're statistically guaranteed to be in the richest 1% of the world in Bitcoin terms. And the problem with that, and I'll tell you why, is because he took the total amount that would ever be mined as far as Bitcoin and said 21 million divided by the total population, which was around 7.5 billion at that point. And you'd get 0.28. Well, there's some flaws there. First of all, to get all the Bitcoin mined, it's going to be in the year 2140. So I'll be dead. I don't really care. And the second thing is, is that that assumes that everybody is going to have their hands on Bitcoin. That's not going to happen. Okay. 7.5 billion people. Sorry. So 0.28 is on the lowest side. And I don't think that's even remotely possible, but it could be wrong. And also, of course, what we just talked about in the last article where we said that, you know, between 2 and 6 million Bitcoin is just gone and lost forever. And I really wish that would be reflected in the price for these different market caps like CoinGecko. I don't know if they really take that into account because, I mean, I just don't see how it's that low. So, actually, let me go. I want to see something on CoinGecko. So if you click on Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency, whatever else, they'll talk about, yeah, right here, circulating supply, 18.5 million. Well, that's not happening. I'm telling you that right now. That actually applies to 21 million. So 18.5 million. In reality, I think it's more like 15.5, 15 million somewhere around there. And that would drastically affect the price right now. But they can't quantify that. So whatever. Anyhow, and then here's the high end. 15 Bitcoin is the magic figure by BlockLink. This conclusion disregards wallets and address data and assumes no lost Bitcoin again, which is dumb. And they said 15 million. Okay. And then also you have to remember that there are multiple Bitcoin addresses. Like I personally own at least 10. They're in my various nano ledgers. They're on my various exchanges that I use. So on all those different addresses, I mean, it's all mine. If you had them all up, I got more than one, but a lot of them aren't that much. 0.1. So if you had like 10 different addresses, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, you got one Bitcoin. But it looks looks like, you know, this address is this address X, Y, Z, blah, blah, blah, only has 0.1. And that's not how it is. It's just one person has a ton of different addresses. And it's hard to quantify that. I mean, moving down, this was the latest one. This is from bit info chart. And what it comes down to is this, it says, here's the balance of Bitcoin. Here's the, how many addresses, the percent of addresses total and the coins. So if you look at what could be the 1%, here's 2%. It's not bad. And the balances of those addresses, and there are 655,744 addresses that have between one and 10. It's about 2% people. So between somewhere between one and 10 is probably the sweet spot. I have to think really in realistic terms, I think it's got to be somewhere between one and two. If you got one and two between one and two Bitcoin. First, I mean, maybe you're not in the 1% of the 0.1% of whatever else it is, but it's pretty good as time goes on, especially with what's going to happen, everything that we've seen over the last couple of months. I mean, institutions are pretty much fumbling in. We've talked about banks getting into the fray. We've talked about big institutional players. So I think if you got one and two, that's your way ahead of everybody else out there, especially right now, especially right now. And of course, this chart doesn't take to account multiple wallets. So that's also a problem. But yeah, if you got anywhere between one and two, I mean, you are way ahead of the rest of the population as far as globally. So let me know what you think of the comments section. And that is it for today's video. If you're looking at an alternative to Coinbase or whatever exchanges you have, I've got the exchange of wallet fees. It's just a breakdown of all the different fees and all the different interests that you can gain for wherever you put your cryptocurrency. My one, two, three punch. Kraken, Celsius and Voyager. I like Celsius because I have, first of all, the fees. Well, I don't really buy anything. I buy anything from Voyager. But then the fees for Celsius are the actually interest rate that I get. I have over 30%. Now it's over 30% of my portfolio on the Celsius Network, the Celsius platform. And the interest rate is pretty good. I love them. So far, doing pretty good. But you can look at everything. I got Celsius, Voyager, Gemini, Gemini Pro, Binance, Uphold, Abra, SimpleSwap, Uniswap, Cash App. I don't like them. EatToro. Don't recommend them in Crypto.com. So take a look at that. And of course, if you sign up, use the affiliate link. You don't have to. You can go right to the exchange or wallet and download it or sign up. But if you use the links, it gives you between 10 and $25 just for signing up. And that is it. So thanks again for sticking with me. If you like those types of videos, I mean, two months going to pop up on your left and right. Don't know because YouTube does all that stuff. And that's all we got. So thanks again. See you on the next.


Putin could disappear at any moment. In last year, Major General Kirillov Budanov, Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine said he believes Russian President Putin is in an absolute dead-end. Budanov told in that time, He cannot stop the war and he cannot win it. He cannot win for objective reasons. And to stop it, he must acknowledge that Russia is not at all the kind of strong and great state that he wanted to portray. Now these words is repeated by former Commander Igor Gyrkin. He says that Russian President Vladimir Putin could disappear at any moment, sending Moscow into a civil conflict amid its floundering invasion of Ukraine. Gyrkin, also known as Igor Strelkov, rose to prominence for his role in the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014. During a recent discussion, Gyrkin weighed in on whether a change in Kremlin leadership would benefit Russia's military operation in Ukraine, acknowledging that there is a chance Putin could disappear amid long-standing questions about his health. A video of his remarks was posted to Twitter by Anton Gerashenko, advisor to the Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry. Gyrkin declined to rule out the possibility that Putin could suddenly disappear at any moment, whether he abdicates his position as President or dies, noting that his state is the biggest secret in Russia. Russia would likely delve into chaos and lead to external defeat in Ukraine in this scenario, according to Gyrkin. He explained that new leadership would even allow Kiev to retake control of Crimea, a goal of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Putin has warned would impede peace talks. But defeat in Ukraine would not be the only issue faced by Russia, Gyrkin said. He also predicted a power struggle with unpredictable consequences would ensure, would ensue. If Putin was no longer the leader of Russia, he suggested new leadership could potentially turn Russia against China, perhaps its most powerful ally, amid the widely condemned Ukraine war. Then the process of this country's disintegration will start, Gyrkin said. A civil war of all against all. I do not exclude the possibility that we are doomed to this. I do not rule it out. Newsweek reports his remarks come just days after he said Russia failed in the Ukraine war because Putin has not called a full mobilization of troops to fight in Ukraine. He accused Putin of withdrawing himself from leading the invasion, delegating it to Defense Minister Sergei Shogu, who has prepared his army badly.


I recently had a live stream where I was diving into SaaS and while I didn't make as much progress on the project as I'd intended when I started, near the end, someone in the chat asked me about creating a mix-in that we could use to use for a hover effect on buttons. And it was a really fun idea and it actually led to me creating a second mix-in also for pseudo elements along the way. And I think together they do a really good job of showing one of the reasons I still love using SaaS even as CSS continues to evolve. I thought it was a really good part of the stream and so I've taken that one part from the much longer live stream and here it is just for you. So something with like transforms mix-in. I mean, for something like that, wouldn't even, you could call it like a hover lift. So I mean, I would do this for like anything I'd want to put it on. Now maybe you'd only plan on using it for buttons, but. So if you put that, I'm just trying to think, I'd probably do a transform. No, transition, transform, transform. This is where having a variable setup for this would be good of like a speed.  We'll just throw a like 350 maybe for now. Transition, transform that and ease in out. And that I probably wouldn't want to keep that too. I'd change this eventually to a cubic bezier. And then we'd have our and, man, seven. There we go. My new keyboard doesn't have like the, I can only see the numbers. I can't see what the shift is. So I keep mixing stuff up there. So and hover and focus. Oops. No, get out of here. And hover and focus. And then we would do a transform scale. Scale is like super powerful, right? So 1.05 maybe. And this is where I'd need a button to actually see or actually have something for it to work on. But something simple like that would probably work. And you'd probably want to actually, this is where a mix in really does come in handy. Because if you wanted a shadow to go with this, what you'd probably have here is box shadow of something. And this is where I talked, I did a video on it with like high-performance shadows. Whereas here you could have a box shadow of say, I'm just trying to think zero, 0.25 M. So it's shifting down just a little bit. 0.5 M for the blur.  Nice thing with SAS, you can do that. And it will output the RGBA value for you. One of my favorite things, one of my favorite SAS functions. And then I would come in with an and, oops, and before that. So the before has, and actually another mixing we could create would be for a pseudo element. So why don't we do that at mix in pseudo? We could call it a, well, just call it before because we can do another one for after. Cause creating pseudo elements always sucks, right? So a mix in is nice. Cause every time you have a pseudo element, you'll want to have content. And what you could do, like, if this was one where I would picture myself ever needing something in here, we could make an optional argument that could insert content. Or we could even say like content here is, would this work? Let's just see. I'm not sure if I've never tried this. Content is nothing. And then here we could say that the content is content. So if ever you needed to bring in content into your pseudo element, it would work. And we could even do like content position, sorry. Position is absolute. So here position is position. But if ever I needed to change that, I could. I feel like I'm doing something wrong cause this is red, but whatever. We'll see if I mucked it up or not. So the content by default will be this, which is what we want. The position will go pause, not position, pause. We'll use this, which will default to absolute cause usually I do that for my pseudo elements. I'm also mucking one thing here. So position, position of relative. And then here I'd wanna do the ampersand. And I'm saying this is a before, so before. And you could even get more comp, like you could make this so you could do it as a before or an after using your mix in, but we'll just do. Position is absolute. So content is nothing, position is absolute. I think we could just do that. And then I would also want an at content here, at content. So what I could do then is I could actually use this mix in inside here. So then I could do at include, before. And then if I did put something here, so here I do box shadow. Box shadow of, we'll do zero. I'm trying to think if I should move it down or not. Whatever, I'm just gonna do a 001.25m, zero, rg, ba, ba of black at like 0.4. And you might be wondering like, why would I wanna make that a pseudo element? But it's because here I would wanna do a opacity of zero. So you can't actually see the shadow. And then what happens is on the hover, the, your, and, this is my before. I should have done it as an after, right? I'll make this after for now, after. Just cause it makes more sense for a shadow, I think. Anyway, whatever. My after would get an, oops, my after. You get an opacity of one. And that's also what would be transitioning. Transition, this is where like a transition is a nice variable to have. So like ideally I'd also bring that in. So if this worked properly, let's go see if this actually makes sense. We'll call this dot btn, dot btn. And if we do at, what did I even call it? I called it hover lift. So at include m dot hover lift, what's gonna happen? Is that gonna compile? Let's see if that worked out properly. Nice. Button hover, yeah, I think that actually worked out. So from all, from writing this, I can get all of that, which is nice. So it's coming in with the pseudo element. The content is good. Position, I don't need the position absolute though. Oh, would I? Yeah, I guess for that, I would want that to be positioned absolute. And I'd have to work on that a bit more just to get it actually underneath. Cause right now it's not gonna be in the right spot. So I'd have to play with that a little bit more. This is where like actually having something that I'm looking at on the page would help. But you get the idea of how that could be useful. So button hover, button focus, when you go on the transform will scale up and that other shadow will come in that's on the pseudo element. Yeah, I love Nixon. So like for me, the pseudo element one's super nice. I would have to play with this a bit more though. Like you could even bring in everything as arguments, right? So you could have content, position, top left, bottom right, all set up. And even here, I'm calling it after. Like you could even have it. I think you'd have to use extrapolation though, right? Let's try. We'll do this and then I gotta go. I gotta get some lunch. So here we'll just call it, I'm gonna keep it as after for now. But here let's just, and I'll change it all after. I just wanna see if this is even gonna work. Location is by default, let's just say by default, it's a before. Before. Before like this maybe. And then here, after we want a dollar sign and then we want location. Nope. Oh no, da, da, da, da, da. Because I can't just put the location here. I need to extrapolate it, no? Walk. Yeah, that doesn't work. This needs to be extrapolate. How do I do the extrapolation sass? Oh, it's a hash, whoops. I was saying extrapolation, interpolation. Did that work? That worked. So my location is before. So, and then if I change this to after here just for fun, you can see that's after now. Cool. So this we could call this like pseudo, pseudo. Leave everything else the same. This would have to import that though. Hover lift include pseudo. And what I could say is that the location is actually an after instead. And then that brings it in as an after. Whereas if I put this as before, it's doing it. Oh, here. Why is this one staying after? Oh, I had that as an after. The reason I put an after here instead of using that is just because I didn't want to bring in all this stuff again. Because I think it would muck things up actually. So that's a little bit of an issue, but not the end of the world I could just put before. And just have to remember to change it. Once you set this up, like this is set up to always be the before. So I don't find that's a big deal. Maybe there's a smarter way to do that, but I think that's fine. So that's good. And then I guess like ideally, ideally you would set this up a little bit more though, right? And even just to make this a bit more readable, you could definitely do this. Just so if you come across this, you want to be able to read it. And then we could do top, top, zero, bottom, zero. I think it's a pseudo element. This is probably the most common left. Maybe I'm wrong. Right. I just feel like that's probably what you're using most of the time. So then you could set all of these up. There we go. No, whoops. I don't want those to be zero though. I want each one of those. I can't do all of them at once. That's why I come in here. Top, whoops. Top, bottom. Come on, Kevin. Bottom, left. And right. There we go. So now just for fun, if I came in here, let's just say it's on something else. Say you come in with like a card and for some reason your card needs a pseudo element on it. I can do an at include m.sudo. And it should. It'll put my card that has a pseudo element on it. So all of that's already done. And then if I wanted to, I could come and change stuff. So I could say that. And actually, I think if I'm in the right order here, I could actually just write in after and it would switch, right? Yeah. The only thing that's important here is if you're not saying what you're changing, it has to be in the right order. So, but if I just write after, it's becoming the after. And if I write before, it's becoming before. If I leave it blank, it's going to before because the position is, whoops, not the position. Where's my, where did I define it? Here, location's the first thing and it's defaulting to before. So I could do, if I, you have to do them in order if you're not putting the name or the variable but or the argument name or whatever you want to call it. But if I say here top is 50% now, it should only overwrite the top one. And it keeps all the other things. Or I could even come in with a position of relative and I could switch out the position to be relative and 50%. So that can be a nice use for mixing. There it is. I hope you really liked that.

8 signs you have caused a narcissistic injury The narcissist experiences a narcissistic injury When their ego has been bruised When they feel less valuable or important When something affects their sense of worth The larger their ego is The more at risk it is of being bruised When they're entertaining their delusions of grandeur That is actually when they are most vulnerable Narcissists are very sensitive people They always have to be right They always have to be in control So it is actually very easy to cause a narcissistic injury You may find yourself walking on eggshells You may become extremely cautious of your words and actions when you are around them Because you're afraid of how they might react But identifying if you have caused a narcissistic injury Can help you to protect yourself Which is why I have decided to share these 8 signs with you 1. Narcissistic rage The most obvious sign you have caused a narcissistic injury Is narcissistic rage They will get very angry They will insult you and put you down They will say and do whatever they think will hurt you the most In this state, they can be unpredictable They can be very dangerous They may throw things at you They may damage your property And they may even become physically violent 2. Passive aggression If the narcissist feels threatened by you They will become passive aggressive They will express their anger or annoyance indirectly In a way that is designed to hurt and confuse you They will say something And then do something different They will pretend to agree with you When they hold a different opinion Because they're afraid of the consequences of expressing their anger Directly towards you Maybe they're worried that they might lose some of the conveniences That you're providing to them So instead they become passive aggressive They push just to the edge of what you're willing to tolerate So that it's not enough for you to call them out with it So that you don't have a firm conviction to disconnect from them Which enables them to continue their behavior 3. Criticism When the narcissist experiences a narcissistic injury It's because they feel less valuable or important But they don't want to reflect on these feelings It's too painful for them to deal with So instead they try to put you beneath them By targeting your sense of worth They do this by criticizing you By indicating your faults in a disapproving way To make you feel like you're not good enough Because that's exactly how they feel But if they can put the focus on you It makes them feel better It makes them feel like they're not the problem And that's what their criticism is designed to do It's designed to deflect the focus onto you It's designed to keep you looking at yourself Because they don't want to feel like they're at fault They don't like how it feels And they don't want to do the work to change their dysfunctional behaviors 4. Opposition When you have caused a narcissistic injury The narcissist will immediately become oppositional to you They will refuse to do what you want them to do They will be very disruptive If you pick up on any of their flaws There has to be something wrong with you You have to be wrong Because they just can't accept that they're anything less than perfect When you question or confront them They feel like they're losing control They feel like you're taking back your power So to regain control of the situation They become opposed to whatever you stand for Even if they secretly agree with you If it's unfavorable for them They have to be in opposition to it They will only agree with something If it benefits them 5. Silent treatment Sometimes the only thing the narcissist can do is be silent If they know that the situation doesn't warrant a certain reaction They have no choice but to be quiet They have to accept it But the silent treatment is also designed to punish you It's a control tactic It's designed to make you question yourself It's designed to make you feel like you've done something wrong 6. Triangulation When you cause a narcissistic injury It affects the narcissist's sense of worth It makes them feel like they're not good enough It makes them feel like they're at fault Which is something the narcissist doesn't want to accept So they run from the situation It may seem like they're running from you But they're actually running from themselves It may seem like they've found someone else But they've actually just found someone Who reflects back to them this ideal version of themselves Someone who validates their false self Someone who supports the illusion And this is what they then reflect back to you It's meant to hurt you It's meant to make you regret your decision It's meant to make you blame yourself Because now that we're someone else Who doesn't see anything wrong with them It might make you second guess yourself It might make you think you made a mistake But you didn't make a mistake This new person has been manipulated by the narcissist Just as you were when you first met them They don't know what they really like But the narcissist will use this to hurt you And make you feel like you're at fault 7. Victim playing The narcissist will not take accountability for their actions Instead they will blame you They will lie They will make false accusations They will exaggerate your faults and mistakes Will minimise in or deny in their own This is how they evade accountability This is how they avoid any consequences for their actions By passing the blame onto someone else By holding you accountable And they do that by playing the victim By acting as though you did something to them They will often blame you for the very things that they caused The very things that they did to you It's projection They disown the parts of themselves that they don't like And assign them to you This is designed to make you question yourself This is designed to make you take responsibility to correct the situation While protecting the narcissist's fragile sense of self 8. Smear campaign If you don't fall for the narcissist victim playing They believe that someone else will So they manipulate other people They show them the false character In the hopes that they will buy into the illusion They will tell them horrible things about you They will bring up things that you can find in them They will bring up things from the past They will fabricate stories They will say whatever they think will make you look bad While acting as though they did the best they could They try to help you This is designed to punish you For not complying with their agenda And it's also designed to take the focus off of them And all of the faults they made The narcissist run from accountability They don't want to deal with the shame They don't want to deal with the consequences for their actions You cause a narcissistic injury It resurfaces everything that the narcissist tried to bury within Everything they despise about themselves Everything that they cannot control When you cause a narcissistic injury It may seem like the narcissist hates you But they actually hate everything that you are resurfacing about themselves That's what they're in opposition to That's what they're running from Because it's something they don't want to accept It's something they don't want to deal with But the truth is that when you cause an injury It really has nothing to do with you All they see is the ghost of everything they once were Everything they hated about themselves Everything they tried to hide And nothing makes the narcissist angrier than that I'll talk to you soon


Hi, Rand. Theresa Walker with the Associated Press. As you are learning names, learning your way around this building, there's a lot of questions facing this franchise this off season. Do you start with salary cap or is quarterback maybe the top of your to-do list and trying to figure out where to go next? I think Mike Vrabel is the top of my to-do list. And us working together and forging a relationship and coming up with our plan on how to build this roster. You know, I think there are a multitude of things that we need to do, that we need to fix and make this organization better. But my number one priority is spending more time with Mike Vrabel and learning the systems that are here in place and how I can help improve upon them and which will help us build a championship team. What are the challenges of getting to know your scouts and scouting simultaneously? Well, so just kind of give you a little bit behind the curtain. Came in this morning pretty early before all of this. So I've already met with RC in the pro department and then the college scouting department as well. My plan isn't to come in here and flip everything over right now. I think that would be extremely selfish. I'm the one new person in, so it's easier for one person to adjust to a group of 20 or 25 people. So my job right now is to come in and learn the systems and processes that have already been in place. And there are some commonalities from what J-Rob had here versus what I've had in the past. So it's a little bit easier to learn the language. But just over time and just spending time, it's just like any relationship. It takes time and it takes effort and work. And I'm willing to do that and I'm going to do that. And you mentioned Mike. I mean, did you know Mike well before you got here? And maybe what are your thoughts about, what have your thoughts been about him from afar and now getting to know him a little bit? So Tuesday was the first time that I met Mike in person. 2005, I was a bottom of the roster player for the Colts. So I was inactive in the 2005 game, the Colts Patriots game where Mike played. I was inactive, didn't get to meet him then. My father who's here in attendance was on the staff in 2009, 2010 at Kansas City Chiefs where Mike finished. So never had a relationship with Mike. I've always respected him. Mike is a, he's a football coach. And you can see that and it permeates off of him, off of the screen. So I was excited to get the opportunity to meet with him this past Tuesday. And like he said, we just had a level of conversation that could have, could have went ours. You know, and so what I do recognize and understand with Mike, our core philosophy and, and just our ground base of football, it comes from a similar place. So that's going to allow us to kind of start, you know, at a higher level. And I'm just looking forward to working with him and building, building this team. All right, you're known as a collaborator. And that was a big thing that this organization wanted. In your meeting with Mike Rabel, like what was it that made you feel like that relationship will work? And then also how can you lean on your past experience seeing John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, how that worked? How will that help you in this relationship? Right, so, you know, I've been multiple organizations, like I've mentioned, and I've seen it done, you know, different ways. But the best way I've seen it done is when the head coach and the GM are in lockstep. Right, it's my job, it's our job as scouts is to execute Mike and his coaching staff's vision. Right, I'm not calling plays on Sunday. I'm not designing plays throughout the week. And so it's our job to bring the right players in here to execute his vision. But in our conversation that we had the other day again, like I said before, our grassroots foundation of football comes from a similar place and we see the game the same way. And so I'm just excited to learn those systems, the offensive system, defensive system, and special team system that he's put in place. And I think having a better knowledge of that is gonna help me work with him and build a championship football team. And the fact that it's a GM job that's open, what was attractive about this specific job to you? These people on the front row, you know, obviously, and I talked with Miss Amy about this, GM has always been a dream of mine, but it was always about the right fit, you know, and it wasn't about getting the job, it was being in a place that's gonna support you and put you in a position to keep the job. And like I said, when I met, you know, these guys and I guess three, four weeks ago, whenever it was, it really opened my eyes. And then throughout the interview process and actually getting a chance to meet Kenneth throughout that process, it just confirmed to me that this is the place that I wanted to be. You know, I'm coming from a good situation in San Francisco, it was a really great building, you know, a lot of strong relationships there. So for me to leave and want to seek opportunity somewhere else, it had to be a special place. And I truly believe that this place is special. What would your team look like if everything goes according to plan?  You know, like I said, our thing is right now is me and Mike developing our relationship and really me coming in this building and learning, you know, what's in place and how I can add value.  And so I've always had to be the person to come in and just insert myself into a new culture, learn that new culture and see where I fit. So I feel this is natural, you know, this is a natural thing for me to do is come in and learn my fit and over time I'll establish myself, you know, as a leader and help Mike build the team that he wants. As you peruse this roster and you see kind of where things stand right now, do you feel like this team is maybe just a few fixes away from being a contender again or do you feel like that there's major changes? No, this is a competitive team. This is a competitive team and we can win football games but at the end of the year you evaluate your roster every year and you're always looking for ways to improve that. And so that's what we're gonna do here. Although I feel the team is competitive and we're good, the objective is not be good. The objective is to be great and so we're gonna continue to work to build a great roster and that's gonna be every year, you know, so you can always take it to a new height so that's gonna be our approach. Are there common threads with the three organizations you've been with in terms of operations, scouting decisions, making all that and if so, what are they? So again, you know, here under Jay Robbs, Tudelich, under RCs, Tudelich, a lot of the core scouting aspects, the genesis of it was New England which is where I got cut my teeth in Atlanta under Thomas Dimitrov, who was a college director in New England. We learned the system from less, we kind of brought a little bit of it to St. Louis and then when I got to San Francisco, the aspects of it were the exact same under John Lynch and Adam Peters who also worked with the guys in New England. So that's a lot of the foundation and so those are the close things. I think in all three buildings, those three buildings are now including this as I'm getting to know these guys there are great scouts here. There are guys who are passionate about the job, passionate about the sport and passionate about winning and so I think those common things will allow us to be successful. What do you think of Brian Tannehill and is he your quarterback? I don't think that's fair. At this point, we're still evaluating the roster. I am, you know, and that's gonna take further conversations with me and Mike Ryan has been great here. He's won a lot of football games and I look forward to us winning football games but I still need more time, you know, to evaluate and make those decisions. As you know, this is a quarterback driven league and people are hired and fired every day over that position so we wanna, I wanna spend more time evaluating that position so I'll have my own opinion and Mike and I will confer and figure it out. How much do you pull from your journey because it's been a ways to get here. You kind of described it from the different organizations you worked with and pulling from what worked maybe and what didn't and how beneficial is that now that you are that guy?  Like collaboration truly works. You know, again, I've said it, you know, kind of tongue in cheek but I could be the greatest talent evaluator of all time but if I can't bring Mike the players that he needs to fit his system, then it's not gonna work. And it's, you know, we're not here to collect talent, you know, we're here to build a team and so, you know, just being able to pull from all my different experiences. You know, I tell my kids all the time, every situation is a learning situation. You're either learning what to do or what not to do. And so I've taken from all those lessons of what to do, what not to do is gonna help, you know, help us in this part. So what's your experience coming on the pro side?  No, so I've been predominantly pro by title. So I've had draft experience since I've come into this league, you know, just again, under people who understood my skill set and allowed me to grow from that space. So director of pro scout, those have just been my titles but not necessarily my job. Thank you. First black general manager in this franchise. How significant is that for your family and when did it kind of click that you made history? It's very significant. I understand I'm standing on the shoulder of giants and there have been plenty of men that have come before me that have laid this foundation that allowed me to be in this spot and it's paramount in my mind to do the work and be successful to leave the door open, you know, for other young black men that are coming behind me because there are a lot of talented young black men that could do the job. They just need the opportunity.  I just want to be the best me and, you know, very prideful but I just want to be the best.  And the significance of it, my aunt who's here, she texts me and asked and I was like, honestly, I don't know. And she was like, well, you might want to find out, and no, and so that's when it first dawned on me that I was the first black GM in Titans history. What kind of whirlwind has it been, Rand, since you got the job, I guess flying back and forth across the country, trying to learn, I guess, players on this team, people in this building, getting your family here. What has all that been like for you?  First interview was last Friday. Second interview was Tuesday. So let me rewind. First interview was Friday. Fly back to the Bay Area, San Francisco, play Seattle on Sunday, oh, Saturday. Go to that game, get an email from Burke Saturday night. Hey, if we wanted to bring you back, when can we do that? We set a date, I get a text from Burke Sunday morning. Hey, we need to push it up. I'm back on a flight Monday, back here, interview Tuesday, get a second interview. I'm sitting in the airport and that's when I got the call from Ms. Amy. Just really sitting in the terminal, receiving all this information that my dream was coming true and can't react because I'm in a terminal full of people that don't know. And I remember calling my wife and telling her and she kind of thought I was playing because I had to keep a stoic straight face. But from that point, it's been a whirlwind, right? So that happens Tuesday, I fly home. Tuesday night, I go to 49ers building Wednesday, get a few things, we're on a flight the next day coming here. And so it's been a whirlwind. I'll be honest, I don't feel like I've been able to fully process it.  This is what I always dreamed of. And so I'm just embracing it all. You played running back, your dad was one of the best running back coaches and offensive coordinator. Do you think a team can win a Super Bowl in today's NFL built around a running back? Yeah.   And I think if you look at the teams that are in the playoffs that are still playing at this stage everybody's able to run the ball. So I think, you know, you can win championships that way. How much does your past, your playing experience how much does that help when it comes to painting that picture of a prospect for the Scouts and coaches before they actually see them on film? I think my playing experience just gives a different context, right?  So you have to know what everybody, you know, is doing. And I think it kind of opens up your eyes when I'm from this vantage point of being a talent evaluator or being able to understand who's making the mistake who's right, who's wrong. And sometimes it kind of helps you, you know paint a better picture of those young men that are playing. How much have you used analytics had the Niners and Graham's front office used analytics in helping you to select players both pro and in the draft? And what do you think about analytics used by your coach? No, we've used analytics a lot in the 49ers in actuality, Koisia Dofomensa who's now the GM in Minnesota. He ran our analytics department a couple years ago. Spent a lot of time with those guys I think it definitely pays apart. You know, we trust our eyes and scouts but sometimes the data can drive you to a decision and help you see it from a different vantage point. So I think there's a place in our game for it. You know, we've talked about it during the interview. I think in the genesis of analytics it was kind of pitting analytics and scouting against each other. And a lot of the things we did in scouting was essentially analytics it just didn't have the title. So it has a part in our game and we're gonna use every tool here to help us build a championship roster. Yeah, the first NFL Accelerator program you get this job, Ian's right here with you. Do you think that's coincidence or was it that helpful? No, I think it's helpful and extremely appreciative to Commissioner Goodell, Jonathan Bean and all those beautiful people at the league office that spearheaded the program. Again, that was my first introduction to this group of people and they embraced the process just being able to be in a room this size with owners and potential GM candidates. They were open to the conversation and my initial conversation with them I guess allowed them to be a little bit more comfortable with me and want to explore the possibilities. So it works, I'm here I think in part because of it. So it works, so it's something that I hope the league continues to use and continue to find a different way to grow it. Is there an individual experience that you had scouting with this 49er group like an individual player that there's a story that you're really proud of that has materialized itself into the current 49ers roster? That one, two things, two stories, quick ones.  And it's not necessarily about myself, right? We talked about analytics earlier. Demetrius Washington, he's the VP of ops for Minnesota. He ran our analytics department after Coisey left. He does his metrics to find all his guys. So he comes to me, he has a running back and he's like, man, my numbers are telling me this is the best outside zone running, running back in the draft. He was like, but I'm not walking in there with Kyle with just this paper to say that, can you watch this guy and see if you can confirm what the tape saw? And I watched the tape, that was my first exposure to the player and I agreed with him and then that player ended up being Elijah Mitchell that we took in the sixth round, which last year if we don't have Elijah, we don't go on the run that we went on. And even added to that story, D'Amico Ryan's, it was his first year as decoordinator and that round, that pick was gonna be his linebacker. And D'Amico, some kind of when he came in the draft room, Elijah's tape was on and he was watching Elijah and he called Johnny Hollin our linebacker coach up and was like, Coise, this running back is better than the linebacker we're gonna pick. And so we shifted from taking a linebacker and took Elijah and it just kind of shows to the collaboration of how that whole operation works. So those are the two that stood out. What is it about the 49ers organization? What did you learn from that? That they've had such success with guys like Mitchell or George Kittle, even Brock Purdy in the late rounds of drafts. So that was one of the things I touched on as well in my interview. Again, it goes back to the word collaboration. You know, that fifth, sixth, seventh round is work of the scouts and it's the work of the assistant coaches. Those guys spending time together, understanding the scheme and finding players, quote, unquote, depth level players that are gonna fit our roster and help fill out the bottom of our roster. So those are the areas where you start to use more of your staff, right? And so us being able in San Francisco to hit on those picks was totally a collaboration of our assistant coaches and our scouts. What you've seen of this team, the identity of the Titans the last few years, what jumps out? And do you feel like that your preference and what you're gonna bring is going to fit that existing identity? What jumps out is how hard and how tough this team is, how hard they play. And I think the team has been made in the image of our head coach. You know, Mike is a tough guy. He works hard. I just almost said something else and I saw my kids sitting there. But I think the team is built in his image and what Mike believes in.  And I believe in those. This team's been devastated by him in the last two years. Did you discuss that with Mike and how much do you envision kind of turning over every stone to see what medical department, science and athletics, all of those things tell you about how to maybe limit those as best you can in the violence sport? We talked about it and we're gonna explore every option to figure out how we can keep our guys on the field. But like you said, it's a violent sport. There's not gonna be a perfect way to keep everybody healthy. That's just not possible. But we're gonna explore every option to figure out how we're gonna be able to maximize keeping our guys on the field. What's your policy then or your idea on bringing in guys who are currently injured or have a history of injuries? I mean, obviously you don't wanna hopefully not bring in injured guys, right? You can't get anything out of anyone if they're not available. So our mission is gonna be to put systems in place where we can get guys on the healthier side. But once you kick this thing off, nobody's ever 100% again. So it'll be about maximizing guys with where they are. Rayne, how familiar are you with this roster already and kind of walk us through the process for you the next couple of days or weeks trying to get up to speed with where this team is currently? I have a solid baseline of the team. That's a part of the interview process, right? You can't go in there and try to fake your way through the job because Miss Amy's gonna ask the question and she knows the answer. So I feel good about my knowledge of the roster. But again, that's tape. I don't know the people, you know? And that's where Vraves and I, when we spoke, he was giving me a little insight on the people. So I think that's just as important, because I have a thing, it's not mine. Stolen it from a friend, it's called a 21-3 rule, right? So he's in the NBA. We all have a way of seeing these players as players 24 hours a day, when actually they're only players while they're in your building. So I think it's just as important to know the people just as well as you know the player. So that's the area where with our roster I wanna get to know the people. And I'm gonna make a couple phone calls to a couple guys when I leave from here. And what was your second part, your question? Just what the process is like for you in the next couple of days and weeks, getting up to speed with that currently. Meetings and more meetings. Vraves and I are gonna continue to spend time together, continue to spend time with the scouts. Again, I'm learning their systems and processes right now for the next four months, learning their language. So it's gonna be time on task. So that's gonna be it for the next four months until we find the right process that fits our organization. It's not about what I wanna come in here and do, but the scouts, they're the lifeblood of what we do. So I wanna be able to put something in place that benefits them. And so we're gonna continue to create that over the coming months.  You know, like I said, man, I just got here yesterday. Just got hired on Tuesday, you know. I'm here to help Mike in any way that he sees fit. Obviously, Mike has been here. He has a way he wants to do things. And I respect that totally. So wherever I can add value to Mike from that standpoint, I'm here for it. I don't think that matters. Cause I think the word and what we truly believe here is collaborating. I think all that comes down to, in my opinion, is a matter of ego. Mike and I, we're here to work together and we're gonna bring the people in here that we see fit and we're not gonna see it the same way all the time. But he and I will have the mutual respect to be able to work through that and we'll get the right people in here. When you being a former running back and watching Derek Henry throughout these years, specifically the success that he's had in this organization, what are your thoughts on him as a back and now being able to be here with a guy like that? Man, it's crazy. Like, so I've been watching Derek since he was at Uly, you know, high school with Florida boy. So it's, it's crazy to see how I remember Coach Parcells told me one time, running back is a production based position. If you didn't get yards in high school and college, you're not getting them on this level. And if you look at Derek's history, he got yards in high school, he got them in college and he's got them at this level.   I know we're in the matching Jays. And what is that, what is that like going from having everybody all in on the Falcons, the Rams, 49ers and now the Titans? So I will give my agent Sean, he's somewhere in here. His pitch to my wife all with Titan blue, find him a Titan blue tie. So I'm not responsible for the tie. My wife found it. The Jays were also her ideas. She FaceTimed me the other day and she was like, what do you think about these? And I saw them in the kid version. So I was like, no, get me some too. I want, you know, I want those too. But again, honestly, man, like it's been, it's been a whirlwind, you know, my two sons that are here, they're all in on football and they spent a lot of time in the locker room. They spent a lot of time around the guys and just being able to share those experiences with them.  And, you know, hopefully we're here for a long time and they could officially be, you know, Titans kids. John was executive vice president or vice president with you and Mike clearly defined roles who, and there's some question more for Amy, I guess, but who's in charge of the football operation? Again, I'm gonna beat you guys to death with this word collaboration. That's why I'm here because Ms. Amy sees me as a collaborator. So we're here to collaborate. We're here to build this thing together. I think so many times in our game, we're trying to fit people in the boxes, you know, and that's just, in my mind, that's archaic.   And so I don't think it matters who's over football operations, you know, the kitchen staff or whatever. Our job is to build the best building possible and we're gonna do that. You're coming in. It's been an impression on you, but how about your family? What did that mean to them? Man, it's been crazy, right? So we come in and, you know, the whole world of the Titans was here and just the outpour, you know, of love that we've gotten from just that video alone, from the highest of high, you know, it's been amazing. You know, and again, it's a testament to who this organization is. You know, my family and I, we already feel welcome. We already feel a part of it. And honestly, man, my wife asked me last night, like, how could I try to remain so cool under that environment? But looking up and seeing all those people feeling the applause, that motivated me.
