Good health to all from Rexall. Yes, it's Sunday. Time for the Phil Harris Alice Facial, presented by the makers of Rexall drug products and 10,000 independent Rexall family druggists. Good evening. This is your Rexall family druggist, taking a little time from behind the prescription counter this Sunday evening to speak for all 10,000 of us. The 10,000 independent druggists who have added the word Rexall to our own store names. You can always tell us by the orange and blue Rexall sign on our windows. The sign means that we carry the 2,000 or more drug products made by the Rexall drug company. They range all the way from aspirin to penicillin and there is fine and pure and dependable as science can make them. We independent druggists recommend them to our customers because we know you can depend on any drug product that bears the name Rexall. Good health to all from Rexall. And now your Rexall family druggist brings you the Phil Harris Alice Facial, written by Ray Singer and Dick Chevrolet. With Elliot Lewis, Robert North, Jeanine Roos and Whitfield, Walter Sharp and his music, yours truly Bill Foreman and starring Alice Faye and Phil Harris. This morning while Phil was sleeping, Mr. Scott of the Rexall company called and told Alice that he was going to drop in and see Phil about a matter of importance. Phil has just come down and Alice is relaying Mr. Scott's message to him. He didn't say what he wanted, Phil. He just said he'll tell you when he gets here. Wonder what Mr. Scott has on his mind? Could he be mad at me for something? No. What could I have done that he'd be mad about? Maybe he heard your show last week. Well, if it ain't the first Daffodil of spring. Little Petunia Head. Phil, do you think Willie could be right? Is it possible that the Rexall people are unhappy with the way you're doing the show? Unhappy with me? Oh, Ruby, relax. Everybody says I'm the hottest thing to hit the airwaves since Jessica, Dragonette. Let me tell you something, Willie. Maybe you don't like me on the air, but plenty of people think I'm great. And if you don't believe me, ask anybody. Anybody at all. Like who? Like my two kids. Hey, girls, come in here a minute. If you want the truth, ask a child. They'll give it to you straight. What do you want, Daddy? Phyllis, I want to ask you a question and I want you to give me an unbiased answer. Now, who do you think is the greatest performer on the radio? Mommy. Let's try it again and this time put it on the bias. Now, who do you think is the greatest? The greatest? Michelle, stop waving that $5 bill under her nose. Phyllis takes after me. She has a strong mind and money won't make her change it. Try me, Daddy. I take after Uncle Willie. I don't say anything for five bucks. Make it five because ten you ain't gonna get.  I'm not trying to bribe you. You can keep the $5 no matter what you say. All I want to know is who is the greatest performer I better rephrase that. Why take chances? Now, who is the funniest man on the Rexall radio show? Uncle Frankie. Give me back that $5 you're gonna get from me. My own children. I'd have done better asking Ozzie and Harriet's kids. Does anything to do with your ability? Perhaps Mr. Scott is a little annoyed with your brashness. You haven't been as respectful as you should be to your boss. Well, maybe I have been too irrepressible. Maybe I... Uh-oh, that must be Mr. Scott. Well, if it's respect he wants, I'll pour it on. Oh, good morning, sir. I am your humble servant. Your wish is my command. Don't make me a mint julep, James. Oh, it's you, Frankie. Come on in. I thought you were Mr. Scott, the sponsor.  I'll go out again. What's the sponsor coming over here for? I don't know. It's got me worried, too. You know that Scott could be coming over here to fire me. If you don't know, why look at the black side of things? Maybe his coming over here has nothing to do with your job. Maybe it's a simple thing that has nothing to do with the show. Like what? Maybe he's in love with Alice and wants you to give her a divorce. Frankie, I'm in no mood for this this time of morning. Let's be serious. Don't you realize that my job... No, no, that's Mr. Scott. Why don't you bring it? Oh, hello, Frankie. Hello, Alice. Curly seems to be worried about his job and I was chairing him up. You're being very silly. You're building things up in your own mind without knowing what it's about. Has it ever occurred to you that Mr. Scott might be happy with you on the show? Oh, Alice, you and your wild ideas. No, it's not wild at all. Bill's doing a good job on the show. He's selling lots of Rexall products and he's helped their business. I think maybe Mr. Scott is coming over to give him a slight increase in salary. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. I've helped his business and in appreciation, he's given me a slight increase in... A slight increase? Why that in? Great. I tripped in his business. Tripped in his business. And all he wants to give me is a slight increase. Why I never... Well, I'm not going to let him get away with it. That way till I see him a slight increase. That's him now. I can't wait to tell him all. Good morning, Mr. Harris. You cheapskate! After all I've done for you, you have the nerve to offer me a measly $2 raise. Perhaps I'd better come back when he's sober. See you later, Harris. Oh, don't go, Mr. Scott. Please come in. Oh, very well, Mrs. Harris. Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Scott. I was a little bit excited. But I... Well, I can't wait to find out why you came to see me now. Tell me, Mr. Scott, are you here to give me a raise? Oh, come now, Clyde. Well, Mr. Scott, you're not here to fire me, are you? No. No, but when I get back to the office, I'll drop it in the suggestion box. No, Harris.  Well, then why did you come over? Wait a minute. If you think I'll give Alice a divorce, you're crazy. Well, what are you talking about? Harris, before this gets completely out of hand, I'd better tell you exactly why I'm here. Well, I certainly wish you would. I want to ask you if you would be... Hey, Curly, what kind of a host are you?  Oh, it's the prime rib himself. Well, if it isn't rimly, the no-talent kid. That's a pretty nasty remark.  Scotty, I'm not going to beat around the bush. I don't like you. I don't like you. I just said that.  Frankie, will you please stop? The man didn't come here. Curly, listen, I didn't mind when he fired me, but when he fires my best friend, he's got me to answer to. Rimly, rimly, he ain't firing me. Scotty, pay no attention to Frankie. You see, the poor kid doesn't know what he's saying. You see his mind. You mean he's... like a bag of cashews. He's a psychiatric case. Caused by the fact that he hates his father. He hates his father? I should think it would be the other way around. The suspense any longer. Mr. Scott, what did you come over to see Phil about? Well, it's like this. Well, Mr. Scott, sir, I'm glad to see you, sir. You're looking exceedingly well, sir. Willie, stop crawling toward him. William, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at your desk at the Rexall office? Well, I just dropped in to see my sister, sir. On our time, naughty, naughty. Well, I was just leaving, sir. Goodbye, Mr. Scott. Goodbye, everybody. Goodbye, Willie. Ah, good man, that William. He thinks of nothing but the company's interest. It's heartwarming. I think it's sickening. The way he fawns over you and Rexall. Remly, you work for Rexall, too, you know. It wouldn't hurt for you to have a little pride in our fine company of 10,000 independent drugists, those men who sell our 2,000 drug products, and strive to maintain... All right, don't drag it out. I got pride in the company. Have you ever bought one of our drug products? No. Well, the least you can do is buy one of our drugs. What for? I'm not sick. What do you want me to do? Go out of my way to get a malady just so I can use your drugs? Remly, I'm not asking you to go out of your way to get a malady. But if you have a chance at one, don't turn it down. Mr. Scott, never mind, Frankie. Look, Mr. Scott, why did you come to see me? Well, it's about my daughter. Her school is giving a dance, and she's on the entertainment committee, and she insists that your band play for the dance. Is that all? Oh, gee.  Of all the bands to choose from, she picks mine. Tell me, why does she like my band so much? She's tone deaf. By the way, Mrs. Harris, would you consent to come along and sing a few numbers for the kid? Well, it'll be a pleasure. Oh, thank you. The entertainment committee is meeting at the school gym in about an hour. I wonder if you two would mind coming over to discuss the program with me. Oh, sure, we'll be over. I'll be there, too, Scotty. Oh. Goodie. Don't put yourself out, Remly. Ah, it's no trouble at all. I'll bring my guitar. Well, we could use your guitar. You want me to play, huh? No, no, but after the dance, they're having a weenie roast, and they'll need some wood to start the fire. See you folks at the gym. Goodbye. Goodbye. I think I've been insulted. Phil, what do you think I ought to sing at the dance? What do you think the kids will like? They'll like anything you do, honey. Hey, how about the tune you were rehearsing today? You know the one that goes... You better let me do it, Pat. Yeah, you can't stand it. Johnny, get your girl. Tap her on the shoulder. Tap her on the shoulder. Say you'd like to hold her. Johnny, get your girl. Walk her in the moonlight. If you've got no moonlight, talk about a new life. Don't wait for introductions. Don't be so full. Just step right a little bold. Give romance a whirl. On the shoulder, gee, now I feel a little bolder. What's a fella gonna do? Then you just talk about a June night. It's nice of you and Mrs. Harris to come over to the gym. Remly couldn't make it, eh? You'll be here soon. He went home to get his guitar. The girl, she's your daughter, Mr. Scott. Oh, they're both mine. This is little Lori. She's just eight years old. She sort of tags along after her sister. Oh, hello, Lori. How are you, honey? Oh, I feel fine because I use Rexall drugs to keep me healthy. Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Marjorie, I want you to meet Mr. and Mrs. Harris. Hello, Marjorie. How do you do, Mrs. Harris? Hi, Margie. Gee, that's all right.  Uh, why did you pick me? Who else is there? I can just picture you in a tuxedo. You must look terrific. Oh, no, I don't. I bet you do. No, really, I don't. But you must. Marjorie, have you ever seen Curly in a tuxedo? No, I haven't. Well, I haven't. The boy knows what he's talking about. I don't think it's very nice of you to contradict Mr. Scott. Uh, Mr. Harris, please pay no attention to Marjorie. She's only 16 and anything looks good to her. Now, why don't you and Mrs. Harris come along and meet some of the other girls? Oh, Daddy, why don't you and Mrs. Harris go alone? I want to discuss the, um, uh, dance with Mr. Harris. You go with Daddy, Laurie. Well, okay, but Margie... What? I don't think Curly's as good-looking as you said he was. We'll see you later.  Only eight years old and already she's so nearsighted. Well, Margie, what kind of music would you like at the dance?  Sure, what's on your mind? Well, I hope you won't misunderstand me, but, well, we moderns believe that curbing one's emotions can result in a serious frustration that tends to impair one's psychological development. Don't you agree? Yes, allegorically speaking. But perusing it superficially, I find retrochorical. I love algebra, don't you? You might not believe me when I say this, but I think you're charming and handsome and the most wonderful man in the world. Yeah, but what were you going to tell me that I might not believe? Love with you. You're in what with who?  No, it's a perfectly normal feminine reaction. But Margie, let's face it, this is madness. No, honey, I'm not honest, I'm not.  I've already been spoken for. Oh, look, Margie, you just got a schoolgirl crush. You'll get over it. I ain't sayin' you'll ever be the same again. Honey, you'll survive. Don't you like me just a little bit? Sure, I like you. I think you're a swell kid, but, but, well, I'm a happily married man. Are you happy? Are you happy being married to an older woman? Oh, she's not that much older than I am. Look, if you'll excuse me, Margie, I think, I think, well, I think I hear Alice calling me. I'll see you around, Margie. How revarsory. Oh, he's so irresistible. Margie, don't you think it's about time you got started? Margie, you look sick, what's the matter? Daddy, I'm in love. Oh, that again. Who's the lucky boy this time? Phil Harris. Oh, no. Oh, Scotty, what's all the excitement about? As if you didn't know, you old Rua. My daughter just told me she's in love with you. Well, it ain't my fault. Besides what you got to get excited about, she's just a schoolgirl with a crush. She'll forget about me tomorrow. I refuse to be tortured that long. Certainly got the mumbles, I mean. Oh, why couldn't I have been born homely? Mad about. Now, look, Alice, you'll never know I'm in trouble, and I know you'll be sympathetic. Honey, Mr. Scott's daughter is in love with me. Oh, that poor girl. Don't mind the poor girl, just think of me. Scott's threatened to bar me from radio unless I can make her forget me before we leave here. Now, look, Alice, you've got to talk to her. Try to convince her that I'm not as wonderful as I am. But, honey, do it in a nice way. Oh, Phil, Phil, she's headed this way. You duck behind this post and let me handle her. Go ahead. Right behind you? Yeah, go ahead, go on now. I'll fix everything, but good. Oh, Mrs. Harris, didn't I just see Mr. Harris here? Where'd he go? Oh, he'll be right back, Marjorie. He just stepped out to adjust his girdle. Middle-aged spread. All men get a little pointy when they reach the halfway mark. Halfway mark? My mother used to take me to see her picture. Mr. Harris can't be a day over 30. He doesn't have a wrinkle on his face. Plastic surgery does wonders. You mean he's had his face lifted? Only four times.  Oh, yes. In fact, he overdid it. Last time he had to go back and have it lowered. His nose was lifted so high every time he sneezed, he blew his hat off. Oh, now she's reaching. If he were as old as you say, he couldn't sing the way he does. His voice has such a wonderful quiver. Upper plate wobble. Upper plate, I got one lousy little bridge. Mrs. Harris, I'm sorry, but I don't believe a word you say. You're very fortunate to be married to such a wonderful man. And if he were mine, I couldn't talk about him the way you do. Goodbye. That's telling her, Margie. Well, Phil, you can come out now. I'm sorry it didn't work, but I tried.  To hear you talk, you think you were married to an old Essex. That didn't do any good, either. Oh, Alice, how am I going to discourage her? I can't... Hey, wait a minute, Remli. He's the guy that can get me out of this, Remli. I'm sorry, I'm late, but I had to... Oh, Frankie, you're just the guy I'm looking for. Uh-oh, there's dirty work of foot. Remli, you've got to do me a big favor. Mr. Scott's daughter has fallen madly in love with me. And, Remli, you've got to take her off my hands. Oh, no, wait a minute, Curly, I ain't gonna...  Look, she's over there with those other girls. Just go over and ask for Miss Scott. Make up to her, Remli. All right, I'll do it for you, but I don't like it one bit. What do you want me to tell her? Tell her anything. Tell her you're in love with her. Can't live without her, and you want to marry her. You know, routine number three. Lay it on her. Oh, all right, okay. Things I'd do for that guy. Oh, well, she probably won't be interested. She goes for Curly. She won't like the Tyrone power type like me. I'll just tell her that... Hello, Mr. Somebody talking to me? Oh, get down there. Hey, kid, maybe you can help me. Where can I find Mr. Scott's daughter? I... You're... Ooh, I gotta have a talk with Curly. Look, kid, are you sure you're Mr. Scott's daughter? Yes. I don't get it, but Curly asked me to do it. So here you go.  What do you say? Okay. Exist me a little, will you? Don't you know you're supposed to play hard to get? Why? I always wanted to get married, and you're the church wedding. Look, Laurie, let's not rush into this. I may not be the one for you. Shop around a little. Brachy Remly. Why? No, wait a minute, kid, come back. I'm the happiest man in the world. You're sure you're no longer in love with Mr. Harris? Definitely not, Daddy. Mrs. Harris made me realize that he's pretty old. Why, by the time I'm 30, he'll be almost 90. Well, I'm glad you saw the light. Now I can face the world again.  Daddy, can I talk to you? Yes, Laurie, what is it, dear?  Wait a minute. Laurie, please. Please tell me it's not Phil Harris. Oh, thank goodness. Who are you in love with, dear? What's the little boy's name? Fred! Oh, no! August is waiting on a customer. Okay, there you are. Anything else now? Better put in a tube of that salve my husband uses. He squeezed the one he has now with everything short of a steam roller. Well, he can't possibly be as rough on it as Rexall scientists are. Why? How's that? Well, a tube that contains a drug product has to be made of extra strong, yet flexible material. It's got to be able to take bending rolling and squeezing without cracking open. But even the right material from that standpoint will sometimes cause a chemical change in the product when that happens. Rexall men of science must find a suitable liner. Of what? A liner, a thin coating inside the tube that keeps the product from touching it. Then to make sure that all three will stand up under all usual conditions.

Namaskaram. Here we are at Isha Yoga Center near Coimbatore and we are… this whole effort is to light up for India and beat the virus. Let the nation light up beyond religion, caste, creed, political ideologies.  It is in our hands to decide whether this will pass off as a minor aberration or as a major calamity. The only… and the only thing that we can really do is that every citizen in this country stand up and beat the virus. This effort to light the lamps today, please let's make it happen and beat the virus. Here we are, the whole yoga… yoga center is lit up today. Every one of us have lit a lamp, 2,642 residents. Many of us are stuck around the country, around the world. They're not able to travel, but those of us who are here, every one of us has lit a lamp.


We're probably about 3,000, and the whole terrain of action. 1,000 to 1,500 have come from all over Europe. We're here to stop the trains from coming across the tracks because we believe in climate justice and we want the cold to stay in the ground. I feel it's an honour to be here, so yeah, I'm very happy. We know that you're lying. We need to act in every way we can, and civil disobedience is one of this.


I interviewed everyone before we had this conference to see what people actually wanted to get out of it. And the big thing I heard was people wanted to walk away with a deliverable. They wanted to actually work on their own projects and get something done that maybe they wouldn't get done otherwise. So my plan is to have everybody complete their own funnel and kind of carry the energy and everyone's expertise actually gets them done when we're left to our own devices, we're just not going to make it happen. So I'm going to start with Profitable Funnels Overview, just getting a little bit of mindset the way that I think about funnels, what I think needs to be in place foundationally to make money with funnel. And then we have a great lineup of speakers today to kind of take us through each piece. And one of the things is you don't have to work on your current project, we can start a new project. I'm hoping that a couple of new businesses come out of this and maybe next year we go remember when you created that last year at the event. And I think to have a two-time-a-cloud-command of this event would be awesome. So I want to walk through each business model because something I've learned is that not all business models are created equal and it's not an objective evaluation either. It depends on your situation and what your goals are. Like Carla's talking about exiting, not all of us are trying to exit right now so let's just want to make some cash flow. So it really depends on what you are after. So we're going to walk through each online major business model. Software as a service, sourcing Econ products, coaching and info offer creation. JJ is going to show you how to actually go into the market and figure out what's working already and adapt that for your business. Trent's going to show you how to borrow expertise or resources if you feel like you don't have those things right now. And that's a great way to speed up the success of your business. I'm going to talk about innovative messaging. So how to actually break through the noise, especially in a saturated market. And then Leslie is going to show us how to put this all together so we don't get overwhelmed. So we stay on track and we actually execute, which is without that none of it matters. So that's really the goal is to execute this week and not just sit here and learn stuff and take notes.  I almost guarantee I never looked at those again after I took them. So we really want to make sure we leave room this week for implementation. And that might mean some late night work sessions, but we're going to try and get it done. So day one, the goal is really decide on your business model and create a basic offer. We're really just going to decide SaaS, e-com, coaching, info and who don't want to serve and what's my basic offer for them. Day two, we're actually going to create your landing page headline, a basic funnel and we're going to write an ad, which in my opinion is the most important part of starting a new business because that really lays out the pieces. Who you're going after, what problem you're solving for them, how you speak to them in a unique way and how you get their attention. And without the attention, you have nothing. So this is where most people, where I see most people get stuck is on the end because it's a little more complex. It's not just step one, two, three. We're also going to talk about the heroes journey, which is very important with storytelling for marketing. Day three, we'll create a daily weekly plan to finish launching your funnel and maintain key business activities. As I always say, your life doesn't change until you change something that you do every day. So we want to make sure you walk away from this knowing the habits that you have to have to actually succeed with your new funnel. So how are we going to get this done? I don't know everything about funnels. I'm not Russell Brunson. I still have tons of flops and launch products that completely bomb. But I have done now over $3.5 million in sales through funnels, mainly in the last two years. And so this is what I've learned about it. Human beings are always going to take the path of least resistance. I actually learned this through screenwriting in a movie. No character is willingly going to do more work than they're forced into. And so usually what happens is stakes are created, whereas if they don't do something, something bad is going to happen. And so what I want to talk to you guys about in funnels is only ever worry about the next step. If you look at the whole mountain and you're staring at the peak the whole time working on these funnels, you're going to try and solve future problems that you don't need to worry about yet. You're going to get overwhelmed.  So we want to just focus on step that's right in front of us. So just one step, two step, three step, and do it over again. And what we're going to do by doing that is actually force ourselves into precarious situations where now it's more painful not to do the work than to actually do it. And that's going to make it easy to get stuff done. So this is going to create the stakes I'm talking about where the path of least resistance is actually getting it done. And so what this means for us is if you sold a coaching package, you now want to figure out how to fulfill it. Where most people might try and figure out their exact curriculum ahead of time, we're going to go out there and we're going to sell it and realize it's easier to create an effective coaching curriculum than to let your clients down. So we're going to put ourselves into that situation where we have to get ourselves out. So if you promise you can raise funds for a deal and I know Trent does this, you're going to figure out how to get it done. And so you promise ahead of time, then figure it out. So it's easier to get the deal done than face the humiliation for not fulfilling your promises and the loss of money for not doing the deal that's already underway.  So something Grant Cardone said which I actually really liked was screw on your promising and over delivering. It's only by over promising you'll find out what you're capable of. So this is our basic, all funnels are fairly basic when you break them down with their parts. Again, ad creating is one of the most important things. If you look at companies like Herman Brothers, sometimes they'll create one new ad and it will 10x of business with one three minute advertisement. So one of the most important parts of our funnels, then we have usually an opt-in or a sales page and then we have an offer. So we want to see can we get their attention? Can we get them to make a micro commitment to us in order to get more from us? And then can we actually get them to buy in order to solve their problem? And so a lot of times people think about all these different traffic sources and being in all different social media platforms. But when it comes down to it, these are all just ways to get attention and we're putting them all into one landing page. So that core message and that core landing page is the foundation for everything else. If you want to, you can add all these social media networks. But you can also do it, you know, you can have a multi-million dollar funnel on one network with one advertiser. So don't worry about the landing page until traffic is figured out. Until we know we can create an ad, we don't need to create the landing page. And again, one great ad can be worth millions of dollars in traffic. We have one ad we've been running for 15 months straight on YouTube without changing it. Don't worry about the offer until your leads are figured out. If we can get people to opt in, chances are you're not going to be able to get them to buy. So let's see if we can get people to opt in before we worry about perfecting our sales page or our phone script or things like that. We don't need to worry about the details until we get people started on that slippery slope. So the right way to launch funnel this weekend is just one step at a time, force yourself into somebody fixed my slides wrong, force yourself into delivering. The wrong way would be trying to have a whole thing figured out ahead of time and start it on your ad because you say, well, I don't know how I'm going to build this software. You can worry about putting software after you evaluate demand. And then again, the right way is one step at a time, act out of the necessity to avoid pain. So this week, these are the three cardinal rules of profitable funnels that I have for us. Number one is master your communication. It's probably the most important thing. If you can do this, which we'll talk about later, you can be the Oprah of your business. You can be the one front and center doing the important stuff. And you can have somebody else fill in for almost any other role in your business. We want to provide a solution in health, wealth or relationships. And we want to sell painkillers, not vitamins. So again, the highest value activity without a doubt is your ability to communicate. If I look at a saturated market, the people that are on top are there because they can communicate better than the people that are not doing as well. So specifically, we want to communicate innovative solutions to painful problems. So that's something new and different. That's a new opportunity we learned about in the QuickFunnels community. But a lot of times that might mean just speaking differently about the problem. There are so many ways to innovate in business. We can innovate with technology. We can do it with operations or we can do it with our messaging. A lot of times, online business, basic online business, if we're not Elon Musk building completely new technology, what we're doing is we're innovating with our messaging. So we're going to talk about innovative messaging later today. Rule two is again, health, wealth and relationships really are the three big niches. I always think that we can just break this rule, the basics. Any time we try to do that, I fail. So we really want to focus on problems in these three categories. And let me show you what I mean. How you can apply this like a random business. So Dan and I work on shred school together. It's an online snowboard education. And here are some of the intake forms from shred school. I want to be better than my snowboarding uncle. It's my number one goal. I want my fellow snowboard instructors to say, when did you get so good? I want to shred as well as my more advanced friends. So I would say this is a relationship offer. It's mainly about status. And people are embarrassed to be worse at snowboarding than their friends. They're embarrassed to not be as good as they think they should be because they're athletic in other areas of their life. And so it's really about communicating to them that we can help with their problem of status. And for some reason this is discouraging to some people. They think snowboarding shouldn't be about status. But if you really look at people's subconscious motivations, almost everything is about status as we've learned before. So why are these the three nests or niches? It's because they are the most painful. And people act on pain. So bad or non-existent relationships, poor health and no money are just some of the most painful problems we're experiencing in life. And they're the problems that people will gladly hand over money to solve.  And rule number three is sell pain killers, not vitamins. And what that means is, again we're talking about stakes, there must be a consequence to your customer for not finding a solution. And so if they just keep living their life just as they've been living, they haven't used your product, their life stays perfectly fine and nothing bad happens. Chances are they're going to say I can just do without it and you're not going to have this insatiable demand for your product that you really need to make the economics of the business work. So just think about it on a daily basis. If you miss your vitamins in the morning, you probably don't even notice. The next day you wake up and you might take your vitamin the next day but nothing bad happened the day before because you did not take your vitamin.  And so that's really what we want our businesses to address is a problem that people are lying awake at night thinking about. They're in pain and they'll do anything to get out of it. So those are, that's nice to have rather than must have. If your product is just the nice to have, that's going to be the death of you. You'll get a couple of customers in the beginning but demand will die off after that and you'll wonder why you'll think your ads aren't good enough or you need to learn more Facebook tactics but it's usually because of fundamentals like this. So we're going to start with the pain with our offers later today. Because I have four rules, rule number four. No such thing as a confused buyer. So that again comes back to communication, those who master communication, fundamentals, consistency and catchy messaging win pretty much every time. So I don't know how to end up four, but those are the three. Everyone master your communication, provide a solution in wealth, health or relationships. And again, we can take pretty much any niche and turn it into a wealth, health or relationship problem. It doesn't have to be like, you know, you don't have to be directly in the dating niche. You can be in something and still have a relationship offer that's not related to directly to relationships. And then again, self pain killers, not vitamins, those are things that people will notice if they do not get their fix, okay? So now I just want to go into why people don't buy. If we've addressed these fundamentals correctly and people are not buying from us, it's usually because they don't trust us. They don't believe us and they don't think it will work for them. So this is really why we have a funnel is to overcome these three things because strangers on the internet are extremely skeptical. They don't owe us anything. We're just somebody popping into their news feed, presenting an offer. So they have every reason not to believe us. So we're going to try to overcome these three issues with our funnel. If people don't trust us, we want to bond with them, form a relationship with them. We do that by being vulnerable, telling stories, and sharing experience.  People generally don't believe us. Again, a reasonable assumption. We're going to make very strong money-back guarantees. We can use things like action-based guarantees depending on what niche or product we have to mitigate the downside. Social proof, one of the strongest forces is literally just showing that your product works by showing people who have used it and gotten the result that you've promised. And then client stories are different than social proof. It's not just saying, here's this person who got the result. We talk about the pain that they struggled with before, what else they had tried before they tried our product, and then how our product ended up changing everything for them. So it's really telling the story. And again, people learn much better through story than they do just straight facts. And if people don't think it will work for them, we're just going to obsessively focus in our marketing on our clients' objections and internal obstacles as well as external obstacles to really shift beliefs. So our funnel really needs to stay focused on our prospects, the issues that they're dealing with and their story. And we might tell our story, but we'll talk about later. What we're really doing is we're telling their story and we're providing a happy ending for them. So let's say we got that all down. How do we know if people want our product? If we come up with a new offer idea today, how do we know is somebody going to want this before we do market research? How should we think about this? This is the way I think about it as a slippery slope. So we start off really small, or we think of it like a snowball. Start off really small, start to build momentum. And it gets bigger and bigger. So again, we really want to know, can we even get people to stop what they're doing and read our ad? If people have so many options for their attention, they can do an unlimited amount of things. They can watch Netflix. Can we get them to stop and choose our ad over everything else? We usually do that by speaking to their pain or telling an interesting story. Can we get them to opt in and take the next step? Can we get them to watch a presentation or visit an order form? If we can do all that, let's see if we can get them to buy it. If we can't get them that far, chances are we can come up with an offer that they're interested in. And if we can't get them to buy, let's see if we can give it away for free. That's never a bad choice. That's like what Carla's doing, is let's give this away for free to big players, and then we can snowball that into social proof, testimonials, having the big names in the market that everybody recognizes, and then get people to pay for it after that. If we can't give it away for free, we miss the mark. You go back to the drawing board. So people do not want to part with their money. They really don't, unless it costs them more to not take you up on your offer, and then they won't gladly do it. Just thinking somebody pulls up in a Lamborghini today, brand new with title, and they say, I'll give you this Lamborghini for $10,000. I'm sure everyone in this room can find $10,000 to get the deal done, because we know that Lambos worth so much more. So it's really just a matter of value when it comes down to getting people to part with their money. And a big part of this is showing them the cost in action. So this goes a little bit deeper. This has been called, kick them in the bruise knee, and it can sound a little bit brutal, but it's really not, and I'm going to tell you why. But basically what this means is we need to point their pain out to them, and then we need to rub it in and make it worse than it is right now. And the big reason here is that most people are, the general public is basically too numbed out with social media, drugs, drinking, entertainment, drama, to ever really feel their pain. They'll do anything to avoid themselves, sitting with their own thoughts, dealing with their own problems. Obviously this is a massive generalization, but in every person's life, mine definitely included there are areas where this is happening.  So getting them in touch with their pain is actually the best thing we can do for them. It's a gift to them in the long run. Not in the short run, it might be painful in the short run, they might not want to do it. In the long run, they're going to be so much better off, and they're going to think back to when they met you, when they were exposed to you and that changed everything for them. So think of somebody who just ignores their health problems. We probably all have over relatives or parents who they'll just sweep things under the rug and they just ignore it, they don't even want to talk about it, and then it's too late, so bad that they can't address it anymore. We see this in addiction a lot. People need to hit rock bottom before they say no more. It really needs to get so bad that they can't tolerate it. So trauma produces growth. That's what causes us to change. So we actually have to speak to the trauma of our customer. So this week, we're not going to launch a whole multi-million dollar business. We're not going to launch our webinar or anything like that. But we can come up with our core messaging and our core offer, and that's, as I said, it's the most important thing. Everything else stems from that. So let's see if we can find a problem and get attention for a solution to that problem. So creating profitable phones, overview, only focus on the next step. Create stakes for yourself, for your customer, so you take action so they take action. Figure out traffic before building a landing page. Figure out leads before building your offer. Communicate using innovative messaging, which we will talk about today. Build a funnel in health, wealth, or relationships. Sell painkillers, not vitamins. Build trust in bonds with funnels, proof, stories, and guarantees. And make them feel the pain of not taking your offer and staying where they are, knowing that this is ultimately in their best interest. Anybody who wants to ignore you can, but for those of you who need help, this is what's going to get them to stop and pay attention. So the goal, let's see if we can get attention. Let's see if we can get click-throughs. Let's see if we can get opt-ins. We can get all that done this week easily. If we put ourselves in that position and we have people opting into our offer, we're going to be very motivated to sell them something. So let's just make it through that. And then we'll set up a plan to convert those leads to sales after everybody leaves. The last part of this presentation is the online business model breakdown. So we could go out this week and we actually could make sales in coaching, potentially in info products. So all these business models have their own strengths and weaknesses. As Carla said, SAS is like an incredible model because, well, we'll walk through each one, but depending on your situation, you're going to want to pick a different business model. It's running on how much capital you have, how much time you have, how much you need to make money right now, what your lifestyle looks like. So I'll just run through each of these. Software is a service. Capital requirements are high and the speed to cash is low. So most people are not going to get into this business as beginners. But across the board, other than those factors, it's an amazing business model. High margins, high scalability, high level of independence for the owner. It's not tied to you as a guru. You can easily sell it for a very high multiple. It's recurring revenue. It's just an awesome business model. Dropshipping, which I think everybody here knows what it is, but meets the manufacturers ships directly to your customer rather than you holding inventory. Capital requirements are low for dropshipping, but you do need credit. So the payment terms are great, but you will still end up using a substantial amount of credit to finance your ad spend and your purchases, but you get that money back right away from your customers. So no capital requirements really. High speed to cash, you get paid right away. The downside of this, extremely low margins, pretty competitive. It's very scalable. If you have a mass market product, high independence, you can pretty much do it from anywhere, because they're shipping straight to your customers, and you can sell dropshipping businesses people love to buy them. E-commerce would be when you develop your own product, you actually order the inventory. That's going to have high capital requirements. I saw a sock company for sale this week, and during peak season, they have $700,000 in inventory. So you definitely have to have some capital to have a massive e-commerce company. There were going to be millions in sales here, so it's probably fine. Medium speed to cash, Tasha is going through this right now, designing her own products, finding the right manufacturer. So it's not like you're going to make money on day one with this kind of stuff. E-com, the margins, I have low, but it really depends. If you have a luxury brand, the margins can definitely be a lot higher. Super scalable with mass market products. Medium independence, you can have the inventory stored somewhere, but very sellable. Info products, you can start with no money. You can get paid pretty much immediately. A lot of times we need a sales page or something like that, if we're not just doing coaching. Medium margins, depending on how competitive your industry is. If you get into a blue ocean with info products, you can have super high margins. If you're in just like the reddest of oceans with tons of competitors, it's pretty brutal out there. You got to be really good at messaging. High independence, you can do from anywhere in the world, work from anywhere. And low sellability. Usually it's based on the business owner, and as soon as the business owner steps out, nobody really wants to buy it because it doesn't work with the guru. Coaching, we got low capital requirements. We can go out there, we can start coaching businesses today. High speed to cash, especially if you have something unique and valuable to offer. We can have very high margins. And as we scale this, I say low to medium. It can actually be very scalable, depending on how you set it up. There are mass market coaching companies out there. And the margins are obviously going to dip as we scale. Medium independence, a lot of times you do stuff to be on the phone with people. If you love doing that, that's awesome. If not, it's not the best business. And again, coaching, depending on how you set it up, can be very sellable or not at all. And then we have done for you services. One of the easiest things for beginners to offer low capital requirements, high speed to cash, get paid right away, high margins. Usually your time is tied to how much you make, so it's not very scalable. It's not very independent because you actually have to show up and work. But these are generally pretty sellable businesses, especially if you systemize everything. So that's the breakdown. The one thing that I noticed for me this week is SaaS just across the board looks awesome as long as you have capital on patience in the end. Like Carla said, she wants to exit in three years. If she does it properly, I don't know if that product is going to scale the way she wants it to or not. It could scale to amazing heights or not at all. But if it does, that could set her up for the rest of her life. She could never have to worry about money again, depending on how big of a user base she requires. Other factors to consider, your current area of expertise is what you will set up for right now. So you can just jump in and you can get going without any additional education without bringing on other experts. How competitive is it? Usually it depends on the niche, not really as much the business model. Do I enjoy this today? And will I still enjoy it in six months? Because if you burn out in six months and you don't want to do it anymore, you're just going to let the business fail. Is this something I can obsess over? So curiosity is a big one for me. I can be curious day to day. What do I keep doing this? Can I find partners? If I need additional expertise or capital, how volatile is this business model? Is the industry growing? This one's extremely important, especially if you want to sell. We want a fast-growing industry, high-selling multiples, and things like software. And depending on your risk tolerance, you might pick a different business model. So just to caveat here, while we ultimately need to start our business with our customer, John's going to go over this. I think maybe a couple other people today as well in the customer research. It's just useful to find what we want to avoid getting trapped by in our business and set ourselves up with the life that we're actually going to like. So it really does start with the customer, but we have to figure out what we actually want. So our goal for this exercise is to find your goal for your business based on what is important to you right now, what's important in six months a year. One way that we do this is describe your dream day when you wake up to when you go to sleep. So where do you wake up? Look around the room. What does it look like? Who are you with? What do you do after you roll out of bed? What do you eat for breakfast? Can you hang out on that date and how much time do you put in to work? Do you have a team? Do you not have a team? Are you able to travel? Whatever it is that's important to you. So I don't know where out of time you don't have to go out to do this exercise at least briefly. Decide on your business model based on what fits your goals and your lifestyle. And then decide on just a broad niche. We'll be deeper into this later today to help build relationships just the hypothesis you always change later. So dream date, business model, niche and then I was just going to have everybody go around after five to ten minutes and he just give us real quick and we'll get into this detail later in the week. All right. What's the share? Looks like he's really moving.


Bone tissue engineering is a rapidly growing field that combines multiple disciplines including material science, mechanical engineering, clinical medicine, and genetics. The goal is to restore and improve the function of damaged bones through the use of scaffolding materials that provide a suitable environment for tissue regeneration and repair. Materials and manufacturing technologies have been developed to mimic the natural biological neighborhood as closely as possible. These include combinations of cells and matrices made from various types of materials. This review provides an overview of current materials and manufacturing technologies for bone tissue regeneration. This article was authored by Petra Chakalata, Blastimil Kulda, and Voslaw Babuska.


Hey guys, this is Hider from Xtrades. In this video, we're gonna go over weekly review and we're also gonna look at big picture and You know look at 2023 as a whole and see how the market performed So let's start off with spy and QQQ as usual So, yeah, this was 2023. We started off around this level So in 2022 we bottomed around October and then in 2023 we had a little Depth going into 2023 and then ever since then we just had a really strong uptrend, right? Every single time we made a low they were lower high or higher lows So this was the first low higher low more higher lows and then here we end up We ended up pulling back in pretty hard and then there was a little downtrend here and then we broke that and then ever since that we had a really really strong rally and Yeah, now we are very close to making all-time highs in the market. So overall really bullish action and Yeah, the last couple weeks have been insanely strong and we have just been pushing higher and higher but overall the market did really really well in 2023 and Yeah, this opportunity and this opportunity were great times to make some good money, right? There were good opportunities in both of these times And over here. It was just that very choppy and you had to protect capital and over here was also relatively choppy But at these from March to June and then again from November to December were the best times to make money in the market But yeah, overall SPY looks really really good here Yeah, like I said before we're really close to making new all-time highs But the market is quite extended. We have we had one two three four five six eight green weeks in a row, right and That's yeah, pretty big move. So do expect some sort of pullback or some sort of consolidation in the coming weeks But yeah, overall the market did really well And we got a really nice December rally or the year out. Let's take a look at QQQ QQQ same thing, but QQQ actually did make all-time highs this week. So even more bullish and QQQQ same thing it bottomed in October and then in 2023 or is to start off 2023 it pulled back in and then ever since then it just made a really nice rally Really strong uptrend here and then from the bull flag and then broke that then another bull flag broke that and then Yeah, I've made a really nice move here got extended and then it pulled back in Created another really nice bull flag and then it broke out But yeah, overall really really strong action from QQQ even stronger than SPY as it's already making new all-time highs but yeah, one two three four five six eight up weeks in a row as well and Yeah, very extended here though. Yeah, starting to get a little bit extended here Just because it's been yeah eight weeks in a row So it would definitely be very normal to see some consolidation or some sort of pullback But the market is acting really really well We did have this ugly candle on Wednesday, but we capped up on Thursday and then on Friday we closed Relatively well, so overall really good action And if we were to pull back then 400 would be the key level. Let's take a look at SPY's daily chart SPY also had a really nasty pullback on Wednesday, but then it bounced back pretty well to close the week out But yeah overall really good action and if SPY was to pull back that 470 would be a key level but yeah, that's pretty much all I got for the indices and you know overall going into 2024 out today We are looking pretty bullish, but do accept do expect some sort of consolidation or a pullback at the very minimum And yeah, now let's switch it up to big cap tech stocks start off with Apple Apple had a really nice rally and they put enough consolidation bar this week. Look at the daily chart Yeah, Apple looks fine here. It's just running a bull flag here So if Apple can break this downtrend then there's a good chance that I'll make new highs and then hit that 200 level But yeah, overall Apple looks fine. It could potentially see 191.75 And then if it does that then you would expect to bounce off that But yeah, as soon as that trend line breaks, then Apple is good to make another leg up Next up we'll look at AMD. AMD had a really nice rally here It all started with the earning speed and then it had a really nice rally and then a pullback in and then had another nice rally And now it's starting to form a really nice flag here. It's been consolidating for quite some time. So MD does look pretty good here And yeah, you could expect to break out above that 141 level Yeah, MD is a top watch for next week. And then let's take a look at Let's take a look at Broadcom. So Broadcom is also a pretty big cap tech stock. This one had a really nice rally Yeah, it bounced off that 920 level and had an insanely strong rally look at the volume That's some serious volume. You don't see this type of volume on big cap tech stocks But this one does have it. So definitely pay attention to this stock and now it's forming a really nice tight bull flag on the daily chart And yeah on the weekly looks really nice here really nice base forming broke out Retested and then broke out again with huge volume. This looks excellent Yeah, and then let's take a look at Google Google is also starting to break its base here. So this is really good action Yeah, Google looks like has room back up to So since it's breaking the space next resistance level would be around that 144 level and Google should have room all the way back up there And next up, let's take a look at Meadow Meadow is having a nice break out again and the meta has room all the way up to So it has resistance around that 353 level which is where exactly it closed And after 353 has room up to 375 ish So meadow still has a lot of upside potential But yeah, really nice trend on meadow and it's been holding up really well Next up Microsoft Microsoft's been consolidating for quite some time now and this 375 level is very key. So If you can break that then I'll be bullish on Microsoft But for now, it's just consolidating and acting well. So nothing wrong with Microsoft Netflix Netflix is also acting well here It's been trying to break this base for quite some time and We did break it and we retested now we're bouncing off it again So Netflix does have room all the way up to that 490 level which it did hit this week But rejected and after that 490 level has room up to 562 But yeah, Netflix is bull flagging here So if it can take out that 495 level then it should be good to go and video Video had a really nice rally They hit that 500 level and now it's currently bull flagging here again. So Watch what happens here But overall looks really strong and if it can break that Trendline then it has a good chance to make new all-time highs Let's see what else we got last one is Tesla Yeah, Tesla has been acting very choppy since that breakout no real momentum yet But if it breaks that to 57 level to 57.5 level then there's a very good chance that we could start a big rally here and First target would be around that 275 ish level and then back to 300 But overall it has looks fine here. You just have to break through that 275 point five level But yeah, that's all they got for the big cap tech stocks now. Let's take a look at growth stocks So ARKK had a really nice run from the October lows had an insanely strong uptrend here and That's been holding really really well And it's actually starting to form some sort of bull flag here So let's take a look the weekly chart though on the weekly chart. It looks extremely extended Because it's just had such a big move right off the lows. So It would be it would be good to see some sort of pullback or more consolidation here And even potentially pull back to that 50 level and fill that gap. I think that'd be perfectly normal action. So Do expect that but overall ARKK has been holding up incredibly well Yeah And now let's take a look at some more individual growth stocks A firm has been one of the strongest one had a really nice rally here Then from the two-day flag broke out in a low flag here broke out and yeah It's just had a insanely strong move. It pretty much doubled in like a month So are two months actually not like a month and a half, but yeah, very strong move here It still looks really good, but I would definitely expect for some sort of consolidation here Next up, let's take a look at Camtech so this one had a really nice base here and then nice bull flag formed and then it broke out So this one has or had nice volume had nice volume on the breakout But it did pull back in pretty hard on Friday But if we can consolidate here and then if it retest at 65 level that could be a good by the dip area And then now Kava Kava looked or it looks really nice here I had a nice bull flag forming broke out and now she's consolidating here But Kava has really nice volume here. So that brought it to my Or it this made me get interested in the stock really nice volume So I definitely keep an eye on this one. This one has potential next up coin Coin is coin parabolic here just insanely strong rally Yeah, nothing to say for coin is just going higher and higher every single day really strong rally and next level of resistance would be around that Yeah, I run that 200 level so coin still has a lot of room to the upside and It's definitely very extended here. So I wouldn't be surprised if we do pull back Next up crotch strike crotch strikes been really strong rally since like October and Now it's forming a nice bull flag here. So this could be a good by the dip opportunity Not much of a dip, but yeah, if it breaks that trend line, then this could continue to run Next Kavana Kavana had a really nice break up at that 41 level and Ever since then it took off and now it's forming a low bull flag here. So keeping this one. Whoops keeping this one on watch Nice bull flag forming. So yeah Next up IOT this one's just been consolidating really nicely since that big earnings Gap up with huge volume Yeah, it's just been consolidating nicely here forming a little bull flag So if it breaks that 34.7 level, then this could be a good buy I REN this one had a really nice bull flag and then Broke out with huge volume. So this one's definitely on top of the watch list Watching to see if it can form some sort of flag and then now. Yeah, this one would be viable Mara similar to coin this one's just going parabolic really strong volume Yeah, and same move to the upside here and it's very extended here. So I'm expecting some sort of pullback at the very minimum and Path this one similar to IOT really strong gap up huge volume and now it's just been consolidating ever since The 25 level has been a key area of support. It's been three nice bounces off it so far If we can continue bouncing off it then we should move back up to 26.5 Let's go to snapchat Snapchat had a really nice rally and now starting to console day very tightly here. So this one's a top watch Yeah, it looks really good here Shopify Shopify also had a really nice rally since October November time and now it's starting to form a bull flag here. So keeping this one on the watch as well Snow this one had a really strong earnings gap up and then Consolidated consolidated for a week or so and then I had a nice rally and now it's pulling back in and Yeah, if it pulls back into that 193 level that could be a good buy the tip area Otherwise, you could just wait for that trendline break and then buy this one And then so far This one had a really strong move Had a really nice breakout here and then moved up and now it's consolidating forming some sort of flag here so keeping this one on the watch list as well and That's why I am this one Similar to path and IOT really strong gap up really big volume It's just been chopping around ever since but I really like this weekly chart here It's forming a really nice bull flag here. So if it breaks that then this one would be a top watch Next up UPSD UPST like Krivana had a really nice short squeeze really nice breakout here and it's forming a nice flag here. So You know worth keeping this on the watch list if it breaks that 446.5 level then this one can make another leg up But yeah, that's all I got for this week. Thank you guys for tuning in and have a good weekend and happy holidays


Okay, we've been talking about the rotator cuff and its six major components, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teresminus, subscapularis, caracohumraligamate, and capsule. We've also been talking about the arches, the lateral arch underneath the acromion, the medial arch underneath the AC joint, and the subcoracoid or anterior arch, which can damage or injure the lester tuberosity, the biceps, and the subscapularis, the forgotten arch. Now I'm here to talk about the muscular tissue, the muscular tissue that dynamically helps support the stabilization of the shoulder whereas the rotator cuff is a static stabilizer. The muscles can be divided up into their individual anatomic muscles, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teresminus, subscapularis, but also the most important distinction in evaluating muscles in the rotator cuff is whether they are volumetrically decreased and whether they have fatty infiltration. And of the two, fatty infiltration is worse because if you have fatty infiltration, it's very hard to pull that tendon and muscle over and fix it. You'll probably shred it. So many of those individuals who have severe fatty infiltration are not candidates for surgery. Now volumetrically, I will admit that that is a subjective evaluation. For instance, this supra and infraspinatus, here's the infraspinatus, should fill out this entire space. There should be only slits of fat left. So I would call this moderate to marked or at least moderate. And the amount of fatty infiltration can be compared with the trapezius to use it as a reference point. And I would say there's at least mild, perhaps mild to moderate, fatty infiltration. But I always try and make that distinction for the surgeon. Most important is when it's volumetrically severe and even more important than that when the fatty infiltration is severe. Those patients are often unsuitable for surgery.


start like this how explosive can I be right now I mean like seriously like like you've got to give yourself a chant man you should be here ready to go okay you should be already thinking about where I'm going if I'm going far side I'm trying to beat his shoulder and go near side if I'm trying to get to a leg pass fun trying to dive over the top and I've got to give myself every athletic chance I can some of you guys feet are inside your hips and you're standing almost straight up you're not giving yourself a very good chance right now again this whole weekend is about being athletic in positions most people don't even know how to be halfway athletic in we want to be high level athletic all right give yourself a chance get yourself in an athletic position to wrestle we're competing right now now it's time to compete it said it said it's time to compete I like it a lot I like it a lot


What I'm trying to show you is a technical challenge for me, Patrick, when you want to draw your attention to developing opportunity, and the sterling yen here on the daily time frame, and we're looking at some market symmetry, we have this extension to the upside consolidation, and then a further extension to the upside, and we can see that we've mirrored that price pattern in recent price action. So I'm now looking for a test of the assembly trend line support, coming around 1950, which will bullish reversal patterns there to set long positions, targeting a retest of the prior highs up to 122.77. As always traders, plan the trade, trade the plan, and most importantly manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


Hi, I'm Heidi Joy Trethewey with the OpenStack Foundation, and today I get to talk to my friends and colleagues Shamile Tahir and Melvin Hilsman about the user survey. We've been living, eating, breathing this user survey for the last few months, and so I wanted to start out and talk to you about what you found in the user survey that's really exciting or positive for our community. Yeah, I think one of the things that definitely stuck out to me and I was really excited about was we've always tracked the amount of clouds in production and testing within the survey, but the survey actually had really good data on the depth of adoption as well. So it wasn't just that people are using OpenStack and it's, you know, four nodes in the corner somewhere. People that have adopted OpenStack are adopting it like, you know, 60-80% of their workloads are running on OpenStack, and actually the larger the company becomes, the higher that percentage becomes. Like the larger organizations are even 80-100% fully on OpenStack, which is really cool and showing that, you know, it's not, it is really a general purpose cloud and not just something that people are using for a one-off use case in their environment. Melvin, what did you find that was exciting or positive for you? What was exciting and positive for me was the project team's participation, the questions that were submitted by them, being able to directly talk to folks and for other folks to see it on a bigger scale for the conversations to not necessarily be so specific and small or secluded, but actually, you know, presented and available to the masses. And also beyond that, I thought that the data that we collected, the metrics, were very interesting in showing the shifts over the last couple years, you know, with the cloud opinion of OpenStack being dead, but the user survey proving and showing so much more than what people assume OpenStack can do and should be doing. So it's going to be pretty interesting to dive into this. Yeah. You know, there's definitely a lot of life that we're seeing. One of my favorite stats is the new one on cloud age, where we learned that the average age of a cloud is 1.68 years. There's so many more deployments being created in 2016 and 2017 that we ended up capturing 44% more deployments in this user survey than it ever before. And so that's really exciting. Well, let's talk about the user committee specifically. You are two first elected members to the user committee, soon to be joined by more elected members of the user committee in August during the next set of elections. So congratulations. And maybe could you tell us a little bit about the vision of the user community and why this why this or the user committee, excuse me, and why the user survey is so important to your to your work?  So I mean, so the user committee, right, like our goal is to bring the non developers opinion or concerns right to the to the overall community as a whole. And so I think the importance of the user survey is it allows us to scale, right? You don't want to depend on just a small group of people to be able to reach out to folks. But then what's also great about it is that we can begin to see if we should actually not just scale in terms of like what that provides, but the number of folks that we have, because we may learn something that says, hey, we need a few more people to tackle this issue. So we could scale the user committee. We could go out and find specific people to help us, you know, tackle a certain issue at a larger degree. So that's what I think is wise. One reason why it's important for the user committee for this information, because it's only a few of us right now. So we need some tools that will help us gather all this great data. And the user survey is a perfect, perfect tool for has been a perfect tool for that. So, you know, one of the things that we saw in the user survey is we saw users expressing concerns over either user experience and manageability. And Shamile, can you tell us a little bit about how that ties in to another project that you work on around the roadmap? Absolutely. And, you know, it's a really good signal actually for the community health, I think, overall. So in the survey, as you mentioned, you know, there were some of the concerns that were raised as far as like, you know, what could be better within the project and the technology is that, you know, we need better user experience as a focus. We need manageability and reduction in the complexity in a sense of the projects overall. And we do another project in the product work group, which is a group I'm a participant in as well, that we actually talk to development teams and find out from them what are they planning to work on for the next three release cycles of OpenStack. And one of the questions we ask them is, hey, from a themes perspective, whether it's scalability, resiliency, manageability, user experience, what are you working on? And across the board for the three releases, we see, when we combine that data, user experience and manageability are their top priority and focus areas, and which completely aligns with the findings from what users want from the user survey. That's fantastic. So we've talked about deep adoption. We've talked about more adoption in the user survey. And now we get to talk about internationalization because there's an effort by the internationalization team within OpenStack to translate the user survey into a bunch of different languages so we can have more well-rounded participation internationally. In terms of your vision for what's coming up for the user survey, what else would you like to address or what would you like to see in the future? You want to go first for me? No, you can go first. So I think, you know, and we actually had a, so at this summit in Boston for the first time ever we're doing an event called the Forum as well, which is basically an area for users and developers to get together and discuss topics, you know, and one of the topics that we discussed actually yesterday was the user survey and how it can evolve going forward. And I think one of the key takeaways that I had from there in that session was when we do this data, you know, survey, we get a lot of useful data and some of it is, you know, string oriented, so it's sentences and comments made by users, which again has fascinating insights. We don't have enough people to go through all of that within, you know, a release cycle per se, but what, you know, the concept was can we take the team and assign things like, why don't you look at all the comments and put on your manageability hat and see what comments can we use to then provide a summary to the community of, you know, tactical feedback versus general theme-based feedback. And so I think, you know, that would be a really good thing for us to kind of work on in the next release is leverage the data more holistically. And, you know, the report survey is great, but also share those findings back internally in a more, much more enriched manner to where the development community can hopefully get additional insights and guidance of what users are asking about. Great. Melvin, tell me. Spot on. Totally agree. Yeah, I love that answer. I'm totally in agreement with that. Well, thank you for continuing to lead the charge forward with the user committee as you produce the next survey and the next. And we really appreciate your insights, so. I would like to say, before we wrap up, that we have to also say a big thank you to you. I mean, you do so much behind the scenes and, you know, helping get the data, analyze it, work with us. So thank you so much for your support as well. My pleasure. All right. Thanks.


what's up guys we're back with another epic video today i'm showing you guys my entire ghost rare collection there's some really awesome cards in here so let's go ahead and hop right into it guys let me know in the comments what ghost rare as you have but first we have a gore's the emissary of darkness from gold series haunted mine this was the set that had a ghost rare in every pack so there was a big box and every single box like there's five mini boxes and in the five mini boxes there was one pack each all had a ghost rare you could get the first in a ghost rare blue eyes i guess it's the only one still at this point with the tablet art but we have gores i have one of these i also have another one so i have two of the gores because when we open gold series five you guys got to check that video out it was a long time ago it was like a nine or eight k special or something like that and i pulled three gores out of the five packs so it was kind of disappointing we didn't pull the blue eyes but it was still cool because we got another gore's i think i graded one of them so those are the first two ghost rare's i have next we have another one from gold series five we have naturia barking this is one of the least valuable ones from that set but still a ghost rare it looks really good it is a gold ghost rare so they have the gold border which a lot of people do not like but i still think it looks pretty good i mean i think the ghost rare foil looks really nice they do come scratched up out of this a lot though and that's just the thing with ghost rare's a lot of time you're gonna have scratches on the foil next we have a number 17 leviathan dragon so ghost rare's as you guys know besides those from gold series are really tough to pull there's one in 288 super tough to pull and this is just a card that i tried to pull for a while we opened a ton of generation force probably like a couple hundred packs so that the chances are about one in 288 we never did pull it i got this from a collection that i bought so once i saw that it had the leviathan dragon kind of had to grab you guys are gonna see a lot of my face like this see that hey guys because these are so reflective and also they're in sleeves so i've double sleeved all these guys because naturally they are one of the greatest rareities ever very very easy to damage and here is the infamous wing dragon of raw guys this card you guys saw me pull this on the live stream when we stayed live for like five hours or something it was super long we pulled this at the very end such an epic card but you guys if you can see that scratch right across there just straight out of the pack classic legendary duelist print quality from that uh most recent set not very good but such a beautiful card and you can really tell the scratches there unless you get like really close it looks pretty nice another card we have this card brings back nightmares from when you email pulled it against us one of the many he's pulled against us but check out that artwork if we can look at it without looking at my face or all that stuff in the background but that's a really cool card bujin amaturasu there we go i think that's right i always say this one wrong a very cool card here's one that we pulled after about 300 lord attack on galaxy packs the number 107 galaxy eyes tacky on dragon the best part about these cards is just look at all the colors the ghost rare colors are just amazing i mean you gotta love it one of the best rarities a lot of people say it's overrated i don't think it is i think it's rated correctly or underrated it's very nice i'm just look at that foil i mean it just looks great the thing is it does take away from like the original coloring because the colors are not quite there unless you flash it you can see some rainbowy colors it's kind of like full arts with pokemon those uh those rainbow ones because like they go all rainbow so you can't see the original colors so it's like depends on if you care too much about that but i think that these look absolutely amazing i think they've done really well with ghost rares so it's nice to see him coming back with a winged dragon of raw so number 107 galaxy eyes tacky on dragon here is this one oh we pulled this one we opened a ton of crossholes didn't pull it then we had a 100 pack opening and did we pull it on the first pack it was like the first or second pack i can't remember you guys can check that video out it was insane so we pulled the clear wing synchro dragon from crossholes i mean just an amazing card you turn it this way looks terrible you turn it this way it looks amazing it's crazy how the ghost rares they can look completely flat like this just let looks like like a white card just completely white go like this rainbow just straight rainbow i mean look at that okay that's just my shirt but okay pretty cool pretty really really really cool clear wing synchro love that here we have a odin father of the acer this is an unlimited copy i mean we've had some first editions i think this might be the first unlimited ghost odin father of the acer from storm of ragnarok i think this was in a collection as well i can't remember where this came from but i threw it in the binder really nicely in card nice and shiny really cool i mean you check that dude out what i think he's he is the cover card of storm of ragnarok i believe so pretty awesome right there odin father of the acer here's the one and only okay how many weeks do we have we have two i think we have two scarlights we did pull four of these we eventually pulled four out of dimension of chaos two were for a viewer who bought 60 packs from me and i pulled two ghost rares for him it was absolutely crazy super cool but it's it just is just a iconic ghost share for me just for my channel i mean if you guys if you guys don't remember this you guys were our newer but this was maybe half a year ago or something we were open all these we opened a ton of dimension of chaos i got a ton of packs at two dollars a piece i think i bought 300 and something packs and there were four ghost shares in there it was insane so they're one and 288 i already told you guys that so we pulled four out of like 300 and whatever it was absolutely crazy so two scarlights these are the two that i have that i pulled and then the other two of course were for the guy who bought the pack so that was really cool here's one of the coolest ghost rares a red eyes flare metal this one i think does have some scratches yeah you can see that but such a cool card i didn't have a copy of it so i figured i'd hold on to it i mean it just looks really good i mean check that card out red eyes flare metal and the thing about ghost rares is once you do have those scratches it does really detract from the card i mean it looks kind of bad i mean you can get it like this it looks really good once you get there you're like e so it's it's nice to have a nice clean foil but it is really tough to find those sometimes sometimes they're really tough to get because they have to have been sleeved up right away and not like taking in and out or played without sleeves or anything like that they can get really scratched up but still this is a really cool card from a core which is what is that i don't know you guys let me know what core is i can't remember i can't remember the name we opened like 50 packs of it once but i can't remember what the name is now oh here we go we've got a red dragon arts fiend assault mode this is a first edition this is from crimson crisis so this is a pretty old one at this point this is an upper deck card so this is how you know it's getting older this is an upper deck print quality i mean just look at the centering of this card it's terrible but really pretty card i really like how the hand pops out on this one the hand really pops out looks really good it's pretty sick i mean that card looks really good here's a dragon knight drako aqueast i think that's how you say it i'd never know but really cool this one dualist revolution these aren't in order by the way they're just kind of random but really really cool card i mean it looks really nice this guy's been underrated for a long time i think i got this card for was it like 40 bucks or something like that i don't know what it's worth that maybe it's 30 bucks but uh it just a really cool card it's been super cheap like it's just not a very no one really cares about it because in this set there's also solemn warning ultimate rare effect valer ultimate rare secret rare pot of awesome you guys know the pot of awesome but uh just a lot of good cards and then there's dragon knight drako aqueast which is kind of random but really cool card 3200 attack it's not bad but pretty cool card here is the iconic junk berserker from extreme victory i mean this is one of the ones that was like 10 bucks for a long time too but it is a really really cool card it's five d's i mean pretty heavily related to five d's a junk card um junk just thinks it sound bad but that's the archetype pretty cool card pretty nice ghostry not much to say about that one here we do have another that's a first edition odin so we'll just show this real quick because it is first edition does have some scratches on there but a pretty nice card then we have a we have a big boy first edition shooting star dragon from star strike blast this is a pretty tough one because star strike blast just doesn't come around too often anymore and it only came in first edition i believe so there's no unlimited there's only a first edition of this card but a really cool card his head seems a little bit small to be honest doesn't his head seem a little small commemorative body let me know guys don't you think so pretty cool but nice card shooting star dragon ghost rare you'd love to see it here's a nice one i know simo will appreciate this one the majestic star dragon ghost rare one of his favorite yeah it's just so strong so powerful but a majestic star dragon ghost rare this is a super nice card these are one of the four dragons you could only pull without a booster box and they do have a booster box in europe i think but in north america you had to get it out of those loose packs so it's pretty tough to get this one in first edition i don't only have the unlimited copy but it's still really cool here we got the first edition majestic red dragon that's a super cool card i used to have this card the first one i bought i bought for 20 it was like 27 dollars at auction on ebay first edition near mint it was super awesome it was a steal and i eventually sold that one for a lot more like 200 something dollars but then i got this one back so i do have this one this one's super clean first edition wow that is really nice actually why didn't i grade this maybe there is something that i don't see but it looks pretty good first edition ghost rare really nice card majestic red dragon from absolute power force so there are booster boxes of it so there you go that's for lewis he loves the good old absolute power force here we got oh a black black rose we have a black winged dragon from the shining darkness this is a really really nice one this one also has first edition booster boxes but it's still really cool i mean it's a really nice looking card the thing about that the this thing about this guy that bothers me i mean his wings are so skinny it's weird i mean i guess it's supposed to be like a he's supposed to be like a crow or something i don't know but the legs are kind of weird yeah other than yeah it just kind of creeps me out this guy he's kind of weird when you look at him but really nice card though overall next we have a duo of power tool dragons we have the unlimited and the first edition ghost rare we have some really nice power tools right here we can check this guy out i mean he he looks really good though i mean he's not supposedly that good or whatever but he looks amazing and that's cards really nice from raging battle this is not an exclusive set either but it's super awesome power tool dragon speaking of the exclusive sets i used to have ancient fairy dragon first edition ps a 10 i did sell that one so i don't even have an ancient fairy dragon anymore i had an unlimited nine also sold that one so we are without ancient fairy but we do have two power tools to make up for it so that's pretty cool it looks really good i really like the colors on this guy looks good next we have the black rose dragon this is the unlimited and of course we have the first edition ps a nine you guys saw this in the top 25 yugioh cards video check that one out if you didn't see it we have the ps a nine first edition and we have the unlimited black rose so let's let's just look at the unlimited for now hey look i think their artwork are the same i don't think it changed it i mean not the artwork but like the foiling sometimes that changes over the unlimited but this one didn't look the same so this looks really good i remember buying one of these for $55 i think was one of the first it was like the most expensive card i'd bought at the time for $55 and i was like wow this card looks so good it is worth $55 so i had one for a long time i eventually sold that one like two years later but we did get this one back so this is really cool finally for our raw cards we have two stardust dragons if you follow me on twitter if you guys saw that uh you guys saw one of the pictures of one of these so just a really nice looking card i love this card stardust dragon it looks amazing i don't have a first edition right now i used to have a first edition but it was pretty beat up so i eventually sold it because i didn't pay much for it at all so we got two ghostries these look really good i'm one of them is actually like moderate play the one i post on twitter was actually has a moderate play but the the foil looks great so that's all that really matters um not but when you're grading obviously not but for this it looks pretty good so two stardust dragons that's pretty awesome that's all our raw cards then we do have the rainbow dragon ghost rare and the misprint rainbow dragon ghost rare so we have both of these if you guys don't know about the story i've mentioned this a few times on the channel but the rainbow dragon misprints there is another one so there is the regular rainbow dragon that's this one right here from tactical evolution that is correct that is supposed to be rainbow dragon then you have one from gladiator's assault there was not supposed to be a rainbow dragon in that set there was supposed to be chaos neo so they put the name here and they put it on there instead so that's the error for this one there's also one that has this effect artwork rainbow dragon tactical evolution but it has instead of saying or instead of the picture of rainbow dragon it has this picture so they have all the they did mess it up in every way possible it's pretty cool pretty crazy i want to get one of those eventually but i don't have one right now but this is a really cool duo right here so that's my entire ghost rare collection and if you guys stay till the end you guys got a chance for the giveaway i'll be giving away one of my two gore's ghost rare you guys can win this ghost rare gore's all you got to do like the video be subscribed and let me know your favorite ghost rare or a ghost rare that you own that you love something like that also i wanted to shout out landon sanders for following me on twitter so thank you for following me on twitter go ahead and go do that guys if you haven't done that already and that's it for this video thank you guys for watching see you guys later peace
