So you know God, but anyone who is going to be a community, we have to deal with that. You know, more than giving the people the chance to be responsible, you know, to be responsible, you know, to improve our community, right? Because, you know, the good power that is always there, the responsibility will also come in, right? So people, one, should keep doing the good work, which they have, which they have been doing, and, you know, they should also... So we have to be very honest, there are no expectations from people who have been in this, right? Because, you know, they know that they know they're on job, and that is where they are in this list, and they should keep doing the same job, and repeatedly, and also try to build people who are working with them, right? So junior people, you know, they should try to impart that knowledge within the mission and also within the idea.


We get the feeling of this isn't what I want, but am I too far down the road to turn back now? People want it, I understand it, but most people are not willing to step out into the unknown, into what seems illogical, to follow their heart. We spend the majority of our lives, our waking hours at a job. That's a fact. The majority of the time that we spend awake, we do nothing else more than work. So that's the first thing that I wanna set. We spend more time working than doing anything else that we do. And here's the sad fact. 85% of people in the United States don't enjoy what they do. This is a recent Gallup poll. 85% of people do not enjoy what they do in America. And in China and Japan, that number is 94%. So between 85% to 94% of people don't love what they do, but they spend the majority of their life doing it.  Now let's dive in a little bit deeper. Most people do that even though they hate doing it and they think to themselves, all right, well, you know what? I'm just gonna work until I get to 65 and then I can finally retire. That's what people think. I'm gonna just put my head down, I'm gonna work.  I'm gonna do it so that I can eventually get to my retirement age and then I can live the life I've always wanted to live. But let's be real. Once you get to 65, you don't have as much energy. You don't have as much time. You don't have as much vibrancy for life. In most cases, as you would if you were in your 20s, 30s, 40s, going out and traveling and living the job that you want and doing everything that you want to in your life. That's just a fact. But here's the crazy thing. The majority of people get to 65 and they're not able to retire because they were working a job that they hated. They didn't save enough money and now they can't retire. So now they gotta work till 70, 72 years old.  And then they have, you know, until let's just say they do get to retire at 65. Well, then that means if they're lucky they'll get to 80 years old. Only about 80% of people, actually 65% of people live to 80 years old. So that means 15 years. So they spend from 20 to 65, that's 45 years working a job that they probably don't enjoy so that they can have 65 to 80 years old, which is a smaller, only 15 years, or 65 to 80 I guess you could say is actually 15 years. They spend that time living it up, enjoying life. That's what they think, right? But then they don't have the money that they want to. If they do have the money they want to, they don't have as much energy as they want to. And so that's why I think that you should quit your job if you dread Mondays. Now let me preface this a little bit.  I don't want you to do that. But what I do want you to do is start to actually think about what it is that you want to do. I understand that you might not be able to leave your job today, but if you know that you hate your job and you're not listening to this podcast, now you have to realize you don't have to know exactly what you want to do right now. But if you're not in constant search and make that the mission to do what you want to do, then it's an issue. You need to start to think about what is it that I want to do? What is it that makes me feel alive? What is it that I absolutely love? In some of you I get it, you have children. You have a mortgage. You have a family. You have bills to pay. I understand. I hear you. But you have to realize this.  They're watching everything that you do. They're going to become a lot like you. I don't know if you're like me, but I look at some of the things I do and I'm like, damn, that was basically my mom. Like I am literally in a lot of aspects. I do a lot of things exactly the same. So in the same case, if you're working a job that you hate just to provide for your family, your children are going to grow up and do what? The same thing that you've done.  Because if they see mom or dad working a job that they hate so they can pay the bills, they automatically think that's the way that the world works. Oh, job is just something that you hate. You just have to pay the bills. And so what happens? They grow up and do the exact same thing that you did. Then what happens? They raise their children, your grandchildren to the exact same thing. And as Alan Watts likes to say, it's all retching, no vomit. Like there's no change. There's no, I'm going to step out and do something completely different.  So I saw, she was a self-employed. I saw her be self-employed. So for me, it was an easy route to be like, screw it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to, I dropped out of school. I was like, I don't want to go to college and get a job that I hate. By the time I was in college, I was making more money than I would have if I had just gone the college route because I was in a sales position. And my mom was actually the one that said, hey, you know, why do you go to school in the first place? I was like, to make money. She goes, what are you already doing? I was like making money. She goes, so why do you need to be there? She was like the little, I kind of needed her permission to leave school is the way I felt it. And she was kind of that permission. She's like, well, if you don't love it, you don't want to be there and then just go. But so many people, they're raising their children to the exact same thing. Now, once again, I don't want you to put yourself in financial strain, but I want you to think, if I hate my job right now and it doesn't fulfill me, can I eventually leave to do something that I love? I'm not saying don't have a job and just live on the streets. I'm saying, can you change jobs into doing something that you love? Even if you make less money, isn't that still more fulfilling? Isn't it better to wake up and be excited about what you do versus hate what you do? Think about that for a second. I would be okay making less money, but loving what I do, as long as I wasn't doing something that I hated and wasting my life away at it. Here's what's really interesting though. This is the kind of like the paradox that people don't realize.  And when you work harder at it, you become better. And you become better. And you become better. And you can eventually become world-class at something and charge a premium for whatever your services are.  In year one of doing what you truly love, you might make $40,000. Then you move up to $42,000. You move up to $48,000. You start getting better and better and better because you love what you do. You're willing to work hard at it because it doesn't feel like work and you actually truly want to do it. And then what happens, you get better and you're better and better.  Then you're making $70,000. You're making $80,000. And in the long run, you make more money doing what you love because you love to do it and you're passionate about it and you don't see it as work. You just see it as something that's a part of you versus working this job that you stayed at for security. Now there's one thing that we do know if you see what's going on in the world right now. What people thought were secure jobs, they went the secure route, the safe route. A lot of things came in, completely stripped them of it and now they're looking for a job even though they were working a job that they hated. Now they're looking, oh, that was secure. It's not secure as I thought it was. The most secure job that you can have in the world is being really, really good at what you do so that you're unfireable. Or number two is to do something where you're your own boss. The most secure job in the world is working for yourself because nobody can fire you. That's the really interesting thing about it. We always think secure is like going the secure route, the traditional route.  No, a company could just get rid of you as soon as they want to. And the way that I realize this in the person I think says it the best is Jim Carrey. He was talking about a commencement speech and he mentions his dad. And the thing that he says about his dad is that his dad was an incredible saxophone player. He was the funniest guy that he ever met and he wanted to be a saxophone player and a comedian but he had a family and he had this family and he ended up becoming an accountant instead.  And then his dad, like 15, 20 years later, got fired from that position that he hated. And then they became homeless because he didn't have a backup plan. He became homeless and they lived in their car for a little while. And Jim Carrey says this quote, I learned a lot of things from my dad but not the least of which is that I can, you can fail at something that you hate so you might as well take a chance at doing something that you love. Let me say that again. He watched his dad get fired from a job that he hated. So we saw that as a failure at doing something that you hated. And so he thought to himself, if you can fail at what you hate doing, I might as well take a chance at something that I love doing.  And here's the thing, they might not even be successful. They just go to a job and just make 60, $65,000 a year. But for me, for my children, I would rather have them, even if they make less money, I'd rather have them be fulfilled and love the life that they have. And so you gotta think, what am I teaching my children? Even if I'm not teaching it to them directly, what are they seeing me do? Because they're going to follow in my footsteps. Once again, I'm not saying quit your job. I'm just saying that if you don't love your job, you need to get out of it at some point in time. It's okay for right now to be working a job that you don't love because you're now waking up to the fact that maybe you don't love it, but it's not okay to be in constant pursuit of that which is something that you love. It's fine to work a job for a little while. It's not fine to work there forever if you hate it. You know, maybe you don't have to get a bigger house or a newer car all of the time or feel like you have to keep up with the Joneses or have that really special job title so that you think people respect you. No, what it is about is not getting stuck in the rat race, not feeling like you have to keep up with the Joneses and buy things that you, it's like the quote we buy things. We work jobs that we hate to buy things that we don't want to impress people that we don't like. Right, it's like, why don't we just do what we wanna do instead of having to buy that new car? You know, maybe what we do is we just say screw it, I'll save that money and what I'll do is I'll work a job that I love, something that makes me feel fulfilled inside because the best that we know guys, we only get one life. Maybe there's reincarnation, maybe there's not, I'm not smart enough to know I've never died to be on the other side, not that I know of. And so you have to realize to the best of our knowledge we get one of these things.  And I don't know about you, but my biggest fear is getting to the end of my life and wishing that I could have done something more, wishing that I could have done something that I love, wishing that I could have brought more to the world, more joy to the people around me, to my community, to my family, to children, everyone else that's around me. You have to realize we're caught up in a society where you are taught you need to go the safe route. We wake up at what, three, four, five years old and we're like, all right, we got to go to school. We go to school, we're stuck inside of a box. We stay inside of that box for the longest time. What happens? They say, oh, you're in kindergarten, make sure you do really good so you can get to first grade. And make sure you do really good so you can get to second grade and third and fourth and so on. And you get to high school. They say, make sure you do really good in high school so that you can get into a good college. And then when you're in college, they say, make sure you do really good in college so that you can get a good job. And then when you get into a good job, they say, make sure you do really good so you can get promoted, so you can make more money, so you can get promoted, so you can make more money, so you can get promoted, so you can make more money.   Whose life am I living? Is this what I wanted to do? And then what happens? It's a crisis because they feel stuck. They don't know how to get out of it because the box that they were raised in is now the box that they feel stuck in. And to now try to reprogram yourself to leave a job, to think completely different, to get out of your comfort zone is scary as hell. And I get it. I used to have a client that would call them the golden pellets. Every two weeks, he'd get those golden rat pellets. Those golden rat pellets are his paycheck. Those are what keep him. They're golden, but they're rat pellets. They're poison as well. And it's what keeps you inside of that loop. It's a reason why they call it the rat race.  Some people, maybe you, this might be a spark that gets you going that goes, you know what? Maybe I can't leave right now, but I'm leaving this.   It might take me six months. It might take me a year. It might take me two years, but I'm going to leave. I will not stay at a place that I don't love.   Take that one in for a second. You were not born to pay the bills and die. You were born to thrive. You were born to live this life with as much joy and passion and love as you possibly can.   When you come home and interact with your kids, you're not gonna have the energy and the joy and the love and the passion. And guess what? They're not gonna get all of you.  So not only is it your actual self that's being affected by the job that you have, it's everyone around you. It's something to consider. And it's with great love and respect that I wanna tell you this. We're all going to die. We're all going to end up as dust. But you are in charge of what you do with your waking hours. If you don't love what you do, find some way to leave and do something that you love and be able to get paid doing that thing that you love. Even if you make less money, even though here's the secret, like I said, in the long run, you will eventually make more money. Don't worry about keeping up with the Joneses. Don't worry about the bigger house. Don't worry about being judged. Worry about living the life that you want, doing something that you love with the people that you love so that you can deliver and be the best human, the best father, the best brother, sister, mother, father, cousin, everything that you can be for the people around you. I'm gonna talk about why 90% of people end up living their lives and then dying with regret. Now I'm gonna talk about it so that you don't have to. That's an important thing. You have to learn from other people so that you can improve your life. And there's an incredible book called Five Regrets of the Dying. And the number one regret, actually before I go about the number one regret, let me tell you about what the book's about. The book is a lady who lives in hospice or works in hospice for people who, she's a nurse there and she's around people who are dying all of the time. And she starts to notice that there's five really common regrets that people have as they're dying. And the number one regret, which is what we're gonna talk about today, the number one regret of people who are on their deathbeds, they've lived their entire lives and they're at the very end, there is no way out. Their number one regret is that I wish I lived a life that was true to myself and not the life that others expected of me. Let that sink in for a second. The number one thing that people regret when they're at the end of their lives is that they wish they lived a life that was true to themselves and not the life that others expected of them. And there's a couple reasons why this exists. And I'm gonna talk about two reasons. Number one is our absolute need for acceptance from other people. That holds us back, I'm gonna talk about that. And number two is I feel like most people don't know who they truly are.  And so let's go over the first one first. People's need for acceptance holds them back from everything that they want. There's an incredible quote that Jim Carrey has when he's giving a commencement speech. And he says, your need for acceptance will make you invisible in this world. We learn from a young age, whether it's our parents or society or our family or our friends, we learn that we have to act a certain way and we have to fit in into society. And so from a young age, we develop what's called a personality.  The Greek word persona is actually the mask that people would wear when they were acting on stage back in ancient Greece. So that personality that you have is a mask that you're wearing so that you can fit in with what you think you should be or what you have been raised to be. So ultimately what happens from a young age is we make ourselves into a character of who we think other people want us to be, whether that's our parents, whether that's society, whether that's fitting in with our friends, whatever it is. We make ourselves into a character of who we think other people want us to be. It starts off as everything does with our parents. If you had great parents or terrible parents, we still as children mold ourselves into what we feel like our parents want us to be. How they want us to act, how they act. And sometimes it's not even what they specifically say to us. It's also what we watch them doing.  Oh my God, that was exactly like my dad. It's not that they force that onto us, it's that we learn the world by learning from what they say to us but actually more than anything else is watching them. So if your parents have a personality, a persona, a character that they've developed, children tend to take on their parents' character as well. And so what happens is when we act a certain way as we're young, we figure out what we're supposed to do, what we're not supposed to do, right? We learn it from our parents and we start to develop that personality. And then what happens, we start to hang out around other children and we want to be around other children. We wanna be accepted by other children. It's built into us to be tribal beings. So we wanna be accepted. We don't wanna be kicked out of the tribe because 100,000 years ago to be kicked out of the tribe meant certain death. And so it's built into our brains to have the need for acceptance from others around us. So it starts with our parents and then we get older. And then as we're five, six, seven, eight years old, we start to develop a personality, a character, a mask, a persona of what we think other people want us to be. And then what do we do? We start acting a certain way so that we fit in. I still remember, I still feel bad.  I still feel bad for calling a girl, named Tracy on the bus on the way back from school in middle school on Inamory Island, a name that I thought was really, really harsh. And after those words came out of my mouth, I was like, that wasn't me. I can't believe I said that, but I can't take it back. And the only reason why I said it was because I remembered that I thought other kids would think it was funny. I developed a, I said something that was completely out of my character to her and I still feel bad about it, like 28 years later, 20 years later, whatever, 25 years later. I still feel bad about it because that's not who I am, but it's who I thought I needed to be to be accepted. So let me take a step back. Who did you need to be or who did you think you needed to be in order to be accepted by your parents? Have you ever thought about that for a second? Who did you need to be or who did you think you needed to be to be accepted by other children when you were younger? Who did you need to be or who did you think you needed to be to be accepted in high school, in college, in your first relationships? You develop a persona and a lot of times what happens is we do what we think other people think that we should do. So we go to college when in reality some of us don't wanna go to college because we feel like that's just, I don't know, I'm 17 years old, I'm 18 years old. I don't know what the best decision is, but it seems like what everyone's telling me is that I have to go to this college and so we go to college even though sometimes we might not wanna go to college. Or maybe we go to college and we get a degree or start studying for a degree that we don't truly want, but it's what our parents tell us is the safest route. Or we get it because we know that that job's gonna make the most money. And so we go on a pursuit of not what we truly want, not what we truly desire, but we go on a pursuit of what we feel other people want from us or what we feel will get us accepted or what we feel will make us more money which will then make us more successful which will then change other people's perception of us, make us feel a certain way. Then we keep going, we get out of college, we get a job and sometimes we get a job just because we want other people to think of us in a certain way. Oh, I wanna get this job, I wanna be a doctor so that people think of me in a highway, they think that I'm a great person or whatever it is.  And then what happens? There's something called the midlife crisis for a lot of people, some people have theirs, I'm on the midlife crisis of 24, I had a quarter life crisis, some people have it 30, 40, 50, 60. And we wake up from this sleep that we've been in, this autopilot that we've been working on and we get the feeling of this isn't what I want but am I too far down the road to turn back now? I can't tell you how many messages I got from people that are 40 years old, 35 years old, 30 years old, 50 years old and they want something completely different than what they have. They have awoken from the dream that they have been in, the autopilot, but they say I don't think I can turn back now, I'm too far down the road, I have a family to support, I have this I need to do. And what happens is that they stay in a job a lot of times that's slowly killing them. They're too far down the road is what they feel, right? I've invested too much time. I don't want to get out of this now, I've invested way too much. I'm so far down the road.  I've missed my shot, right? So many people feel that way. If you're 40 years old, the average person's living to about 85 years old.  You're not too old, it's not too late. You can change at any time and you don't have to change right now but can you start to make a transition plan? Over the next two years, I'm gonna leave my job, I'm gonna do this, make sure my family's set up, make sure if financially I'm good to go. I'm gonna say and just leave at this very moment but you can make a transition plan. I understand some people listening to me have people now it's to feed.  What would that transition plan look like? It's not too late.  You have now woken up from the slumber that you're in. Don't go back to sleep, don't go back to sleep. So that's the first thing, is that people have the need for acceptance and so they do all of these things to be accepted for so long and then sometimes they wake up and that's one of the number one reasons that's the number one reason why people obviously hold themselves back and they get into this life that we're talking about and the second reason why is because people don't know who they truly are and what they truly want. So we rarely ask ourselves what do I want? What if you started waking up every single morning just ask yourself a question what do I want? What is it that I want? What is my dream life? What is this dream job? This dream profession, this dream family, this dream happiness, this dream mindset. What do I want? Do you ever ask yourself that? What do you want? What do you want in life? What do you want? Go for it. And then what happens is some people will wake up to what they want and they still don't go for it. Right? So we live a life based on what we think other people want from us. One of the scariest moments of my entire life was leaving my job that I felt like I'd worked forever at. You know, I was 26 years old when I got the job, 29 when I was leaving the job. I was making over six figures base salary plus commission on top of it. That's a lot of money for a 29 year old. And I remember I was like I felt literally I felt like my soul was dying. Like I felt like I could feel myself slowly slipping into a depression. Like I was on the edge of going into a depression. I could feel myself slipping into habits that I didn't want to have and habits that I realized would not create the life that I wanted to. And so what happened was I created this podcast. I started a business and it didn't go really well for a while. That's what I don't talk a whole lot about. Like I wasn't making much money. I wasn't like, oh my gosh, I'm super successful from the very beginning. And I was terrified because I left my job to make a business out of it. Terrified, scared, and I went back home and this was in November of 2015. I'm sorry, December of 2015. I went back home and my sister asked me a question. She goes, hey, have I ever shown you the box of dad's stuff? I was like, I don't know what you mean. She was like, I have a box of dad's stuff. My dad had died 14 years ago. She still never showed me all this. And she finally brings out this box and it's got like old shirts. It's got his glasses. It's got his watch. And it's got these letters. My dad was, when I was younger, my dad was in jail for a little while for multiple DUIs. And he wrote us letters. And he wrote a letter to my sister on her 19th birthday and it was this beautiful letter. He was a great writer. And then at the end, he said, I hope you live your life with courage, love, and laughter. And then it was a little bit more.  I feel like he's speaking to me right now. Like this is a letter from my sister in 2000 and would have been 2000. He wrote this letter to her. And in 2015, I'm reading the letter. And it says, I hope you live your life with courage, love, and laughter. And the number one thing that I was feeling at that moment from starting a business is should I shut down my business and go back to sales? Go back to doing what I was doing because I knew that that money was guaranteed. I had so much fear inside of me. And the opposite of fear is courage. I needed some courage. And on it, it said, I hope you live your life with courage, love, and laughter. And I had never had any tattoos in my entire life at that moment. But I was like, I feel like I'm about to slip into massive amounts of fear and anxiety around not having the money that I want to coming in with this business.  This is the only thing that I'm gonna do. And I'm gonna get this tattooed on me. And so if you guys that are on video can see it, it's literally on my arm. It's my dad's handwriting that has blown up on my arm and it's in his handwriting. It says, live your life with courage, love, and laughter. And I made myself look at it every single morning of I'm scared, list, list, list, of losing everything that I have. But I know that this is what I truly wanna do.  So I have to live my life with courage, right? So I literally had felt my soul dying at this job, had to leave. I felt myself slipping into depression. I left there, which was scary as hell. And it wasn't going the way that I wanted to from the very beginning. But then what happened was I was like scared and thinking about going back. And I had to get a tattoo on my arm to show me this is stop, like stop living in fear. Stop making your decisions out of fear.  And luckily I was able to make it work. Did it take time? Yes. Is it working better than I could have ever possibly imagined? Yes. But I almost went back to what was killing my soul. But I didn't. Think about that in your situation that you're in. Does that hit home in any sort of way? What do you want? If money were no object, what would you be doing? What makes you feel the most alive in this world? What makes your soul smile? Do you know? If you do know, follow it. Do it. Put every waking ounce of energy that you have into it. If you have a full-time job at nine to five, whenever you get home, put every ounce of energy after that into it. Don't use your job as an excuse as to why you don't have enough energy to follow your dreams after your job. Sure, you can pay the bills, but then follow your dreams until your dreams can then pay your bills. So if you do know what it is, follow it. If you don't know what it is, search for it. If you've been listening to my podcast long enough, I always say this, it's okay not to know your true purpose right now, but it's not okay to not be in constant search for it. It's okay not to know your true purpose right now, but it's not okay to not be in constant search for it. Wake up every morning and ask yourself, what do I want? What do I want? What do I want? Set your reticular activating in your system to find what it is that you want. You might wake up today and you might say, what do I want? That answer might come to you right away. Probably not going to though. It might take a week. It might take a month. It might take 10 months. It might take a year. It might take five years before you finally get the answer as to what it is that makes your soul come alive. It's not okay to not be in constant search for what that is if you don't know what it is. So what do you want in your life? Stop doing what you feel like you're supposed to be doing. Stop following what other people say that you should be doing. Because what happens is if you do, stay in the route that you're in, if you don't love what you're doing, if you're not following your purpose, if you're not finding your dream, if you're not doing exactly what you want to do, then the worst thing that could happen is that you could be like 90% of people, like they say in this book, they get to the end of their life, they're on their death bed, and they wish they lived a life that was true to themselves and not the life that others expected of them. What do you want in your life? All that matters is what you want, not what other people want. What do you want? Figure it out, find it, follow it, and don't stop until you get it. One of the questions that I get asked more than anything else on social media is how do I find my passion? How do I find my purpose? How do I find the way that I can come alive and what it is I need to do? And I think it's an important question. I think it's something that people need to think about. Every frickin' day, if I'm being honest with you, because you only get one life that we're aware of, maybe we do, get more, maybe we don't, but nobody has any actual physical proof that there's anything after this. So then I'm gonna try to make this the best life that I possibly can. And I'm gonna give you some stories about my life and how all of this relates to me and why hearing the question, what if money was no object, completely changed the way that I saw my life. So before we start, I wanna tell you this, when I was 27 years old, the first 27 years of my life, by the time I had 27, was all focused on how I can accumulate and make as much money as I possibly can. My life, besides hanging out with people and doing other things, like my life, the core of it was how can I make more money? How can I make money? How can it be successful? And I know I'm not alone in this. I know this is most people's number one goal. There was a study, I said this a couple of episodes ago, that 80% of millennials' number one goal was to become rich. So I'm not the only person who really just was, their goal was to make money. Many people live the exact same way that I live. And what happened with me when I was 27 years old was super important for the story that I'm gonna tell you. At 27, I was working a high-paying sales job. I was making about $200,000 a year.  And the company that I was with decided to just get rid of their sales department, right? So their sales department, for the company that I was with, they're just like, hey, we're just gonna go ahead and get rid of everybody. So there's only five of us at the time. They got rid of everybody. And what happened with me was they gave me the opportunity to stay at the company, but take a massive pay cut and switch to a different position.  And the CEO gave me some really good advice. And he basically said, it seems like you're more passionate about this other thing that you're doing. I had a podcast that I just started and I'll dive into that. It seems like you're really passionate about that. Why don't you pursue that? And I already knew in my heart that that's what I wanted to pursue, but I didn't really have the confidence to go ahead and pursue it. And, you know, I was making $200,000 a year. I had to make a big decision. I could go find another job. Like in sales, they always say, if you're in sales, you always have a job. I could have easily found another job and made pretty good money, right? But there was something inside of me that told me that I should do something else. And this was six years ago, just so you know, and podcasts were not what they are now. They weren't even close to what they are now. Nobody really knew what podcasts were. When I used to tell people that I was a podcaster, I would get three responses. Number one, what is a podcast? That was the number one response. Number two, I've heard of podcasts, but I don't know how to listen to them. That was the number two response. And number three was, oh, I love podcasts. And that was very rare, right? So six years ago, podcasts are not what they were back then, what they are now. In my podcast, the exact same podcast, it's now called the Mindset Mentor, obviously. Back then it was called MWF Motivation, came out Monday, Wednesday, Friday, like it still does. And I was making $0 on the podcast. Let me say that again, $0. I decided to not go and get another high-paying job and I decided to pursue my passion, even though at that point, I was making $0. I had no advertisers on the podcast. Nobody was paying me any money. I wasn't getting enough downloads for that. Number two, I had no products in my own business that I could sell people. I had no coaching services, I had nothing. Literally $0 was how much money I had made off my podcast in all of my services because the services actually didn't even really exist. But I didn't know how to make any money online. I didn't know, I knew that people did. And to be honest with you, I didn't know if I could make money off my podcast. I didn't know if I could make money off of coaching services. I didn't know if it was possible, but I had this feeling deep down inside of me that this is what I should do. And I had at least a little bit of money in the bank account and I was like, you know what, I've got a little bit of money. I can try this out for six months to a year. If it doesn't work, I can always go back to making money again and being a salesperson. But there's something in my heart that tells me like this is what I'm supposed to be doing and I'm going to figure it out. And I felt like this was my calling. I felt like this is my passion. And it logically didn't make any sense because logically you look at and you say making zero dollars versus making a couple hundred thousand dollars, the average person's gonna go just go make the money, right? That's what the logical side of it. But when you think about it from like what my heart was telling me, what my passion was telling me, it was, hey, you should go and pursue this thing because it seems like it's the right thing. Like this feels right. It feels like something that you'd actually love to do. So logically it made no sense, but it just felt right. It felt something felt right. I don't know what it was, but it was something that lit up inside of me that had never lit up inside of me before. And it was this feeling of like, yep, this is in full alignment with who I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to do, right?  And I'm like, well, you got to do 900 episodes. That's what I've done. You've got to go for six years. That's what I've done. You look at it and it's like, we have 10 employees now and between everybody who works for the company, about 15 people across the board, and we've got a multi-million dollar coaching business, but it came from literally zero. No followers. People see and they're like, oh, I want 2.5 or 3 million followers, whatever we have at this point. I want a big podcast, all of these things. People want it, I understand it, but most people are not willing to step out into the unknown, into what seems illogical to follow their heart. And so I want to ask you that question. Is there something inside of you that logically does not make sense as far as on spreadsheets, how much money you're going to make, all of that stuff, but it just feels right? Is there? Think about that for a second. Let it set in. Is there something inside of you that says I should go follow this passion? Right, because that's what we're going to dive into. I wanted to give you my story to make you realize it can go from zero to millions of followers and millions of dollars quite quickly if you're following the thing that is actually your passion, right? So when I'm talking about this, I want you to think to yourself, what is it that I want to do, right? And sometimes following your dream doesn't logically make sense. It doesn't. Being a painter might not, quote unquote, logically make sense. Being a musician might not. Being a creator might not make sense. Whatever it is, it might not make sense to the average person, but for some reason there's something inside of you that goes, yeah, this makes sense, right? When I told everybody I was going to not go back and not take a pay cut and not do any of the things and not go back to the company or try to find another job because I was going to find my passion, people were like, you're crazy. And I was like, I know, but watch. And now they're like, oh, you were right. So is there something inside of you that feels right? Right, let's dive into that. What would you do if money were no object? If money did not exist, there was no money. What would you do with your free time? And I asked myself this question. This is a question posed by Alan Watts, one of my top two favorite philosophers in the entire world, him and Ramdas, right? And he says, what would you do if money were no object? I remember seeing that video and thinking, what would I do if money were no object? And what I do now, I am obsessed with. Before I started the podcast, I was already obsessed with neurology, psychology, early childhood development, what makes people tick, watching people in conversation and watching people and trying to figure out why they are the way that they are based off of their childhood, based off of their parents. I was already obsessed with all of that stuff. And I'm still obsessed with it. But what's cool is I'm obsessed with it and now I can teach it to people and make money in different ways as a teacher, as a coach, as a facilitator, as a speaker, all of these things. So what would you do if money were no object? If money was not something, if you didn't have to worry about paying the bills and all of your bills were just paid for, you could eat, your family was taking care of, you were taking care of all of that stuff. What would you do with your free time? If you had to do something besides just sitting on the couch, hanging out with your kids on Instagram, whatever it is, what would you do if money were no object? Think about it. What is that thing? What makes you come alive? What makes you tick? What makes you feel like this is the reason why I'm here? What gives you energy just thinking about? What gives you energy by going and doing? You feel better, you feel more alive, you feel like that's something that just feels good. We live in a society where we think too much. We think about things and that's why I say logically it made sense for me to go back and just get out of the sales position. Logically it makes sense. That's a thinking thing, but it didn't feel like that was the right thing for me. So what is it that feels right for you inside of your body, right? And I understand that some of you out there that are listening, you have children, you have families, you have mortgages, you have to pay, I understand. You can't just go, you know what?  Maybe you can't do that, but can you start to think of some sort of a transition plan? Right? If you have bills to pay, I get it. But can you go, okay, over the next two years? I'm gonna go two years from today. I'm gonna leave my job. What do I need to do to make that happen? All right, I should probably start saving money. Probably start saving money. Okay, I should probably start building an online following. I should probably start painting more. I should probably start making more music. Whatever it is that you are, that is that lights you up, right? I should probably start connecting with other people who are in the same industry, right? Try to figure out what would make it easier for you to transition out of what you do now into what it is that you truly wanna do. One of the problems is that people want a media gratification.   No, you need to be smart and say if I had to leave two years from today, what would my transition plan look like? And start to plan it out. I can't tell you how many people I've told this to and they've quit their jobs and they've built their own businesses. They've followed their passions because it takes so much pressure off when you say, okay, I've got a year, I've got two years. I've got three years to figure this out. I've got to connect with the right people. I've got to get better at my skills. I've got to better my knowledge. I've got to start learning how to make money online. Whatever it is that you wanna do.  But at the same time, it allows you to start to learn and grow and the light at the end of the tunnel starts to become a little bit brighter and a little bit brighter and a little bit brighter. And by the end of the two years, people are like, I've got this, I've got it under control. I'm already making a little bit of cash on this thing that I'm doing on the side.  If you have a job and you've got a family and you've got a mortgage and you've got bills, can you come up with some form of a transition plan? What would you do if money were no object, okay? Some people say, oh, I can't do it because I have children, right? The thing I wanna tell you about your children is this.  They're not going to do what you say that they should do. They're going to do what they see you do.  You can do anything that you want to.  I'm supposed to just pay the bills. So your children will follow in your footsteps. If they see you work a job that they hate, there's a pretty good chance, guess what they're gonna do? Work a job that they hate just to pay the bills. So what do you want them to see you do? Because whatever you do, they're most likely going to do as well. They learn by what they see, not by what they hear. So wouldn't you rather your children do something that they love? Like if I were to ask you, would you rather your child be successful or happy? What's the answer to that? Would you rather be successful or happy? Right? There's a pretty good chance that if they don't have to choose either one. A lot of times when they start on a path of going to do something that they're happy with, they also become successful as well. So it's not either or, but I guarantee you probably want your children to be happy, right? And if you're working a job that you don't love or it doesn't light you up, what if they were to go do the same thing? What if you were to fast forward 20 years and see your children stuck in the exact same position that you're stuck in? What would that feel like? Think about that. You can't tell them to build their dreams when you're staying in your professional prison because they're gonna see the exact same thing, right? So next thing, you spend most of your waking hours working. So this should be something that is extremely important to you. You spend most of your waking hours doing work, some form of work, right? So is it a passion? Is it a purpose for you or is it a waste? Think about that. The thing that you should do is listening to this podcast is take a good, long look at yourself in the mirror. And I always say this, if you've listened to my podcast long, if you've heard me say this, it's okay not to know what your purpose is right now on this planet. It's okay, you don't have to know at this very moment. But if you don't know what it is, it's not okay to not be in constant search for what your purpose is. You say that again, it's okay not to know what your purpose in this world is. It's not okay to not be in constant search for what that purpose of yours is. So if you're sitting there and you listen to this, you might know what your purpose is. You might have a feeling, right? Once again, go with the feeling, go with the gut. Your gut always knows.  Your brain tries to talk you out of everything that is outside of your comfort zone. Your gut feeling is your emotional compass that always knows what you should do. The problem is your gut only speaks to you in feelings. It doesn't speak to in words. So you've got to feel your way into this. What do I feel is the right step for me? What is it that lights me up? What would make me so excited to do this thing? That's what you've got to ask yourself. Same way, I understand.  It's so freaking scary to leave what it is that you're doing that's paying your bills that is safety in order to basically jump off a cliff and think that as you're jumping, eventually a parachute will build itself, right? I remember, and I told this story a few weeks ago, I remember when I was terrified, when I first left the job, the month I left the job, I was like, I got to go back to getting another job. I was so used to getting the golden rat pellets, as we call them. The golden rat pellets is the paycheck every two weeks, right? It's this golden rat pellet.  And I remember being terrified and I said this a few episodes ago, like I said, but I went home and my sister gave me a box that was my dad's stuff. And one of them was a letter that was in there that he wrote to my sister about a year before he passed away. And at the end of it, it said, I hope you live your life with courage, love, and laughter. And I was so terrified that I needed that this whole thing wouldn't work. I was in so much fear. And the opposite of fear is courage. And in this letter said courage, love, and laughter. And so I literally got it tattooed on my arm. It says, live your life with courage, love, and laughter. It's my dad's handwriting. It's tattooed on my arm because I needed a constant reminder when I was scared every single day that what I was doing was the thing that I was supposed to be doing is the thing that the reason I was put on this planet, right? And I needed the courage every time I felt the fear. And so every time I'd be like, should I go back to working a job? Should I go back to working a job? Should I go back to those rat pellets? I look at my arm and be like, nope, look at that. I'm not gonna do it. I'll figure it out. If I go broke, if I live on the streets, whatever it is, I'll figure it out, right? The beautiful thing about it though, it'll work out for you. If you get the feeling, the gut feeling that it is what you're supposed to do, it will eventually work out. So I'm gonna pose the same question to you that I posed to you at the beginning. What would you do if money were no object? Figure out what it is, follow it, follow your heart. Do what it is you think that you should do. If you don't know what it is right now, it's okay, but it's not okay to not be in constant pursuit for what that thing is. Hey, thanks so much for watching this video. If you wanna learn even more about master your mind, click right here and watch this video as well. It's funny because I was never taught this. I never heard this when I was younger. If what you're doing doesn't light you up, it's not meant for you.


Domestic Homicide Reviews or DHRs were established in 2011 under the Domestic Violence Crime and Victims Act 2004. Under the Act, local areas are expected to undertake a multi-agency review to consider the circumstances that led to a death caused by domestic abuse and identify where responses to the situation could have been improved. The aim of such an approach is for all relevant parties to take on the lessons learned to improve responses to all domestic abuse victims and ultimately prevent future deaths of this kind. Let's look at this honestly and fearlessly. There is a recurring homicide rate in this country. It's broadly been the same. Two women killed a week for the last 11 years on the Home Office statistics. Whatever happened before hasn't worked, hasn't been preventing these murders. This film will briefly outline the DHR process and the main themes or lessons to be learned based on the DHRs which have taken place up to now. When a domestic homicide occurs, the relevant police force should inform the relevant community safety partnership, CSP, which has overall responsibility for establishing the DHR. Any professional may refer a domestic homicide to the CSP if they believe there are important lessons for interagency working to be learned. In consultation with local partners, the chair of the CSP will decide whether a DHR takes place. The CSP informs Home Office of its decision which will be reviewed by a quality assurance panel. All correspondence around the decision should be provided to the family. Where a DHR goes ahead, a review panel is established. The review panel will appoint a chair to manage and coordinate the process and produce the final report. The panel will be responsible for undertaking the homicide review and will be formed from members of local statutory and voluntary agencies. The panel will consider what happened and what could have been done differently. They will do this within the parameters of bespoke terms of reference relevant to that particular case. The police, local authorities, the probation service, strategic health authorities, primary care trusts, local health boards and NHS trusts are required to participate in DHRs. It is also important that other organisations are considered for inclusion such as housing associations and social landlords, the prison service, general practitioners, dentists and teachers. The voluntary and community sector should also be included along with family, friends, employers and colleagues. Family and friends may have unique insights into why. What was it like living with abuse? They will have a different perspective. But the crucial impact of DHRs is in learning the lessons they can teach us. It is important that all professionals and in particular those working in health care have a clear understanding of what domestic abuse is because those experiencing abuse use a health system even when they avoid other organisations such as the police or social services. Information sharing and multi-hc working is crucial to fully understand the risk faced by a victim of domestic abuse and their children. Professionals should be able to make informed decisions around information sharing based on a consistent understanding of risk.  In some cases these issues can be inextricably linked to the perpetration or experience of domestic abuse. If agencies focus only on addressing one of the client's needs they miss the opportunity to consider how the client's needs are linked. In many cases victims require multi-agency, multi-specialist intervention which considers their needs holistically. In all cases where a child is at risk the child should be referred to children services. Where children are living in households where domestic abuse occurs it is important the impact of this on the children is not missed. These are not new lessons. They reflect the feedback of many professionals given over the years and they mirror the types of lessons we should also be learning from child practice and serious case reviews. As professionals these lessons must inform and change the way we practice. If we can bring professionals to the table to really experience the emotion you know bring it on really experience the depth of the loss and what's going on here maybe that can help them to feel empowered to make changes.


We're super excited to be back working that's probably the biggest piece I think that you don't realize how much you miss something until you actually don't get to do it so Seeing that the happiness on the guys faces even though. It's you know, 90 plus degrees outside and super humid It's it's great to get back to work You know in a whole I think we've done a pretty good job picking up where we left off last spring You know welcoming in the new new first-year students was a little bit challenging You know those guys haven't played football really in two years and You know getting those guys up to speed was a little bit slower than it normally is You know they had to work through the obvious homesickness kind of stuff But they've done a great job and the older guys on a whole have really had a good really good solid two weeks Yeah, there's been there's been some gaps, you know, some of the newer guys have been You know, I think obviously and rightfully so have been a little bit slow to kind of you know Get back up to speed and we were all really really a little bit slow getting back up to speed You know some little nuance type things that that we've had to clean up It isn't just players. It's coaches, too You know you find yourself going through checklists multiple times because it has been a while since you've done it for real And so I think across the board You know looking at that at the meshing of everything. I think we've been pretty efficient I don't think we've missed anything major from the perspective of you know little things that we've forgotten You know just because we haven't done it in two years, so it's been you know There's been some transition, you know, I even think for for me personally. There was some challenges Kind of get out of preseason shape so to speak, you know when you're when you're you know working 16 17 hours a day You know you fall asleep a little bit faster when you haven't had it Haven't had a you know a camp in a couple years, but again, it's been super productive and we're excited about where we are Yeah, you know offensively we've got some we've got some new guys that we're gonna have to work in I mean we graduated The bulk of a really really good offensive line, you know after following the 19 season There were four seniors there that played a really really big role in the successes that we had so You know kind of filling in Those spots has been a challenge and some of those position battles are still still going on as we speak so You know as we approach, you know midweek we'll start making some decisions You know, so that that certainly is a challenge the receiver wise again, we lost a great group of guys so getting that timing getting that that experience playing together with Sedge and You know getting those guys up to speed again, you know, it's there's battles still going on today So more excited that we've got some competition at those positions Defensively, you know same thing, you know It's interesting because you have groups of guys that have matured without using eligibility so to speak So, you know, they've changed their bodies physically over the last 18 months Which has made them better football players and they're they're challenging some of the returners So I think anytime you could be in a competitive situation in practice I think you're gonna, you know, it will pay you dividends on Saturday. So, you know, we're very really really excited We're we're excited about week one You know, I think, you know, if you look at the schedule everybody kind of looks at the first three weeks You know for me and the staff and I think our players it's been You know a singular focus to get to week one and that's really our focus and We'll deal with rpi in two weeks and we'll deal with delval, you know three weeks from now So, um, you know the reality of it for us is we've got to be focused on the job at hand and You know work on being the best football team that we can be on September the fourth You know, again, we're super excited. That's the biggest thing, you know getting out there Um, not in April. I'm getting out there in September. It's going to be a lot of fun You know the fall I think is one of my favorite seasons. Obviously, you know, there's a football component of it But I love the weather of the fall and you know, I love being out of practice And I think the guys are excited and you know again I think just seeing the the happiness on on players faces and coaches faces for that matter and Parents and having an opportunity to go out and compete Um and do you know do do some of the things that we love the most to do I just I can't be more excited about the opportunity


Grio Audio presents an Unabridged Recording of Show and Tell by Nelson George, narrated by Dion Graham. This work is copyrighted 2001 by Nelson George. This recording is copyrighted 2002 by recorded books, producer and publisher of Grio Audio. Dean Chance is as straight and narrow as a man can be. A segment producer for a talk show, he provides just the right combination of stability and fun for his longtime girlfriend, Millie Jackson.  And now, show and tell. CC, I invite you to come dream with me. If you open up to me, I will not hurt you. I will not lie to you. I will be who I really am. I will touch you in that space no one has before and my hands will be soft. My hands will be familiar. That's because my hands will be your hands. I will facilitate for you.  That's a promise. So come join me in a private room, but only if you can handle this much intimacy. You feel me? I have been planning this night for a month ever since Mildred, Millie Jackson, had announced that she'd be hitting the road for about a month to visit current clients and potential new investments. Before her journey, I wanted us to have a magical New York weekend. The kind tourists save up for and we residents are always too busy to plan. A weekend to give the girl some masturbation inspiring memories for those long, hopefully, lonely nights across America. Up in the living room of 3003, there were the three dozen roses I'd ordered and the chilled champagne I'd requested. But before Millie could touch one rose or take one sip, I made her open the mirrored double doors to the boudoir. What's in there, Dean? She asked in a happily nervous voice, something that will melt in your mouth. I told you. Sample complete. Ready to continue?


Hi, YouTube people, as you can see, I'm all dressed. And my sweat dress. Sweat dress, okay, sweat or dress, whatever it is. Sweat or dress, whatever. So today we're gonna do something special. We're gonna have non-perishable food, so basically no prep.  You don't have to do any cooking. So what have you been having for the past day or two for breakfast? I'm having this delicious organic cocoa crisp cereal, which is very good. What approximately half a box every morning, Jenna? Could you point me to taste so good, though? So these actually caught my eye at the supermarket because the ingredients aren't that bad. It's just organic rice flour, organic cane sugar, organic cocoa powder, natural flavor.  So overall, these are actually pretty good and I would say they might be even better than the apple cinnamon oatmeal she was having two days ago. Yeah, and I also got... Yeah, show them, Jenna. Oh, Jesus Christ. Try not to spill it, drop we got this delicious organic milk. Yeah, we got some organic rice with milk. Normally I would order some... It tastes just like regular milk, to tell you the difference.  Actually, I like the taste. I could actually drink it straight from the counter, but I'm not going to. I see you already drank a quarter gallon over two days. So normally I will get the raw grass and milk from the local farm. I just forgot this week. I grab a bowl of this delicious... Box of cereal, Jenna. Box of cereal. And I get... Why don't we have a small bowl in here? Just use that bowl, Jenna. You get it. Try not to break. I'm going to just take a... Ah! I'm going to run it out. There's really not that much left in here. I thought I might as well use the bowl. So there's about a thousand calories per box of cereal here. I'm guessing she's been eating about 350 calories worth of cereal per day. And then maybe, you know, 150 from the milk. Jenna, that's plenty of milk. I'm going to just pour that right in there. So that's all she'll really have for breakfast.  And the milk is where the nutrition is coming from. So you have a lot of B vitamins, you have a lot of protein, amino acids, fat soluble vitamins, calcium, lots of minerals. Mm. What do they taste like, the regular cocoa rice crispy, Jenna? Mm-hmm. It kind of tastes like the rice crispy snacks, which is also good if you have... Crossel make rice crispy snacks with a cereal or two if you want to. And I'm sure this tastes even better because you have the high quality ingredients, the grass, the milk. Brings out all the flavors a bit more. Mm. Unfortunately, Jenna can't sit here like a normal person This is actually, this is really good, look how beautiful this is.  So we'll see you for lunch, right, Jenna? Mm-hmm. As you know, we're going to have lunch, but before we have lunch, you want to know what the surprise was, right? Why is it Mr. Handsome? Well, don't call me Mr. Handsome, Jenna, I got you your favorite scotch tape and a tape dispenser. That is a lot of tape! So for those of you that don't know, my sister likes taping everything. Jenna, I just gave you your present, stop looking at all the other boxes. I was giving me a lot of tape. So what do you like taping, Jenna? My magazines and stuff. Yeah, so she, Jenna has a mild case of OCD, which her parents refuse to address. She obsesses over certain things, such as tape, so we've given into the obsession for now. So, Jenna, for lunch, lately we've been having roast beef, but that's been getting a little stale. So if you guys do have a quality, organic cold cut that you can give, actually, let me see if we have some left. So we have some organic roast beef that she's going to have for lunch. Usually I make organic chicken myself that I have to grill, but I didn't have time to prep today. You could also do some smoked salmon that I have up here. And one of my favorite combinations, and I think my mother likes this as well, is roast beef with butter. So we're going to spread these a little bit of butter, roll them up, and that's what she's going to have for lunch. I'm going to make monsters. Just give me a giant stick of butter. Well, that's something I actually recommend to some people is if they have appetite issues, they can use butter too. After a couple tablespoons of butter, you're not really hungry. So depending on how much of a savage you are, you can just take a spoonful of butter and a bite of roast beef, or you can make it more presentable and approachable. So, and this is definitely a meal that anyone would like. So you just spread a little butter on the roast beef and then roll it up, and that's that. So I'll do this with all the slices. And you guys saw our oven roast recipe a couple of weeks ago. It's made from top round. So if you want to make this yourself, you get some top round. We have the veal top round on Frankie's Syringe Meat. You get some of our Finlandia butter. You make this yourself. You don't have to spend $9 for a pack of four ounces of organic roast beef at Whole Foods. So Gina, hurriedly grab the bite before I could put the camera on here. And you like the combination of roast beef with butter. We haven't had it with butter before. We've just had the roast beef on its own. But it's a lot better with the butter, right Gina? So when you put the butter on the roast beef, you get closer to the natural macronutrient ratio that humans are supposed to have, which is about 80% fat, 20% protein. When you just have the roast beef, you end up like over consuming protein and not really satiating your appetite for fat. And this is definitely up there with one of my favorite least ingredient meals. And it's very natural. Literally some butter with some roast beef. Super delicious. Doesn't get much better than this. Maybe some prosciutto would be the only thing I like more. Gina's getting plenty of standing exercise while eating today.  Okay, she's just too excited to eat. Well, your cooking is always delicious.  Hi YouTube, people, I got delicious cheese.  I'm dying of it. So this is the San Daniel prosciutto. It's Parmigiano, Reggiano cheese and roasted red peppers, very Italian charcuterie plate. And it's not crazy expensive. You're depending on where you get the prosciutto from. That's like organic roasted red peppers from the jar. And the Parmigiano Reggiano is only like 15, 17 a pound. So per calorie, it's pretty affordable. I was thinking about getting my own deli slicer just to do it myself because I think my mother and my sister can eat two pigs worth of prosciutto every week. I could eat 50 pounds of this. So Gina, what's your favorite out of the peppers, the cheese and the prosciutto? I love it. She eats everything. So from a nutrient perspective, the cheese is high in pretty much every single vitamin besides preformed omega fatty acids. The prosciutto is just a lot of B vitamins, some fat soluble vitamins. You know, the omega six ratio in the prosciutto might not be that great. So you want to have, you know, some fish here and there and the red peppers. And if they're organic, there's a little olive oil. The Parmigiano can be a little dry. So you should probably get some more or something to drink. Again, this is something that's, you know, nice, it's tasty, no preparation.  You know, you can, by all means, get higher quality versions or similar quality versions from the local farm. Yeah, this is a juicy pepper. So you can get like local broad cheese. You can make your own prosciutto, some charcuterie from a local farm and even do your own roasted peppers. But this is a bit more realistic. Look how beautiful this pepper looks. So pretty. Well, red is my favorite color. So overall, you know, the diet is still really high in animal products and heavy and B vitamins, which is, you know, good for body composition, good for overall health. So she's going to probably swallow that down in about 20 seconds. And then we'll see you guys for your snack. So it's around eight o'clock and Gina has been having a snack every day lately.  We'll see if she gains weight all and if she's eating too much. But today we're going to do some yogurt. Gina, why don't you show them some of the yogurt? This is raw cow's yogurt grass fed from a local farm. Since she kind of eats like as much of anything regardless of how it tastes, we don't add anything extra to it. Like we don't add honey. We don't add vanilla because she eats it regardless. In the last few days, you know, she'll have some organic fruit, maybe some beef jerky, maybe even some organic cookies. It just depends on what we have. You know, sometimes we've done the local raw ice cream. Which is really good. What else did we do first, next, you know? Banana. Banana, banana, different types of fruit. She has maybe like three quarters of a cup of yogurt in there.  And compared to cream, it does still have a decent amount of protein and a decent amount of water soluble vitamins. Okay, straight ahead. And more importantly, it has, you know, a lot of good probiotic bacteria. Yogurt or kefir from a local farm is actually one of the best foods you can have from a probiotic profile. You know, so if you try some yogurt and you're really craving it and liking it, that could indicate that you just need more probiotic foods in your diet. So it's a nice balance of carbs, fats and proteins. It's really thick. It kind of tastes like a banana. Yeah, there's no way that yogurt tastes like a banana. It's interesting. It's a good taste. It tastes really good. Tastes really fresh and creamy. Tastes like a banana, Gina? I don't know. You think the yogurt tastes like a banana? I think so. I don't know. I think my taste buds are off. I think so too. My taste buds sometimes act very weird. So you've eaten every meal standing up today? Mm-hmm.   What form did you get this one? It's really good. It's from a local Amish farm in Pennsylvania. Mm-hmm. They sure know how to make really good yogurt. We did do a video on how to make yogurt, how to make kefir. You guys can check those videos from some months back if you're interested. Well, that's gonna be it for Gina's Day of Eating. As you guys have seen, a lot of really high quality animal foods, some snacks and treats thrown in here and there. Gina, what are you doing? Selling hard clump in there. Probably just the yogurt. Okay, we're gonna wrap this up for you guys before she does something else a little weird. Yeah, it's like a hard clump. I don't like it as a hard clump in yogurt. Not my opinion. You guys know how to support me down in the description below and I'll see you guys for tomorrow's video. I honestly don't know if I've ever given her anything that she doesn't like at this point. I'm trying to go through my brain but maybe we can just switch her back to the regular carnivore diet if she does gain weight, eating all this stuff.


So hello, so who are you? Hey, I'm Joan Solvon, I'm an applications engineer at UiCo. And what are you showing there? I'm showing you here the HiClink cling band that uses UiCo's dual touch technology as a touch sensor. So it has a touch? It does, yes. And that means you can sweat and go into rain and all that stuff and it just works? Exactly, under all conditions. All conditions, in the snow, in the ice? In the cold and the heat, when there's water pouring on it and your hands are wet and dirty, you can continue to use it. So that's awesome, but you have even more, right? Absolutely, yes. So what's the other stuff you have in there? So the cool new thing we've put in the cling band is our new wrist sense technology. So everyone's used to the touch sensors on the top surface. We've also put a touch sensor on the underside this time that allows the band to detect whether the band is being worn on a wrist or not. So this allows their operating system to turn off certain technologies when it's not being worn. So they turn off their heart rate monitor. They can turn off the pedometer, a few things like that to make sure that they're not draining any battery life. So where's the sensor? The sensor is a round sensor underneath the surface of the back plate. Nice, so it actually goes through the plastics and the metals and stuff? Exactly, through the plastics. So through the plastics, how does it look like the sensor? It's like a tin foil.  Exactly, there's a chip that drives that sensor and projects a capacitive field past the back plane and allows us to detect whether there's a wrist present or not. That's really important, right? Is it reliable? Absolutely reliable. It needs to work under all conditions. It's obviously a very specific use case and we spend a lot of time perfecting it to make sure it just works. So they've been able to get over seven days of battery life on this product by using our technology to turn off devices when it's not being worn. Seven days. This is with heart rate monitoring? Exactly. And it's always active? Only when you're actually wearing it. So when you wear it, it's always active? Yes. So it's always monitoring your heart? Yes. And you can still have days of battery life? Days of battery life, exactly. And it's only thanks to your technology? Absolutely. So nobody else can do this? No one else can do this. What would people consider doing to try if they were not working with you? There's no other way to know if you're wearing a smart watch or not? I think a lot of people have tried a bunch of other technologies and they tend to cost money or power. And the way we've accomplished it by using the same sensor and the same chip that you're using for the surface sensors allows them to, one, reduce costs, reduce the bomb. So there's less space on their board being taken up by a separate chip and we can keep the power down really low. But that's totally awesome, right? Yeah. And so how long have you been working on to get this ready? We did it in a matter of months. So you are fast at getting this out to the market? Absolutely. We're a very small agile company so we get things out there quickly. So not only every smart watch needs it on the front, not every smart watch needs your technology in the back too? Absolutely. And it's ready? It is. It's ready now. It's out there in the market. And shipping on this one, which is maybe going to be a blockbuster band because it has tons of sensors. So you can see it's not sensing anything right now for the skin sensor. And I think the heart rate's on the side. Oops. The heart rate are not sensing anything right now because I'm not wearing it. But if you put it back on? Yeah. I don't even need to. If I put my hand on the back, it can sense that there's actually skin contact, so then it can turn on the heart rate monitor. Really cool.


Let's solve a couple of questions on factors that affect mutual inductance. For the first one, we have two coils that are placed in two different orientations with respect to each other. And we can see these two orientations. In which case is the mutual inductance between the coils greater? The distance between the centers, we can see that is D that remains unchanged. Choose one answer out of these three options. Alright, as always, why don't you try this question on your own first. Alright, hopefully you have given this a shot. Now, let's try to recall what was mutual inductance to begin with. So, for mutual inductance, let's say, if we have a current running in this coil, let's choose this brush. If we have a current running in this coil like this. Now, because of the current in this coil, there will be, there will be, as a result of that, there will be some magnetic field lines produced. And if you try to draw them, if you try to draw them, so let's, let's do that. And the magnetic field lines can look somewhat, somewhat like this. So, they go in and they come out from here and there will be more magnetic field lines which look, which look like this. Okay. Alright, good enough. Now, these magnetic field lines, they might be passing through the other coil. And as a result of that, the magnetic flux through the other coil changes. And we know from Faraday's law, whenever there is a changing magnetic flux, there will be an EMF induced. But that EMF will be in opposition to the change in flux. It will try to oppose the change in flux. And that is what Lenz's law says. So, as a result of the current flowing in one coil, we have an EMF induced in the other coil which try to oppose this, the change in flux, the change in the number of magnetic field lines passing through it. That really gives rise to mutual inductance. Now, in this case, if we have a current flowing in anti-clockwise direction in coil one, and similar type of current flowing in coil two. So, we will have magnetic field lines which will, which will, which will look like this. In the first orientation, not many magnetic field lines will pass through the coil. And as a result of that, the flux, the magnetic flux through coil, the blue coil won't really change much. So, even the opposition, the oppositional EMF, even that would be extremely less. Just a slight number of magnetic field lines are passing through it. But look at the second orientation. The number of magnetic field lines passing through the blue coil is much greater, is much greater. So, as a result of which the magnetic flux changes by a higher amount. And that results in higher oppositional EMF and higher mutual inductance. So, we can say that in this one, the right answer is case two. Okay. Let's look at one more question. All right. So, for this one, we have a pair of solenoids, which are having a mutual inductance M. And we can see the pair of solenoids like this. Current of a certain magnitude is flowing through the inner solenoid. What is the effect of increasing the magnitude of current flowing in the inner solenoid? All right. Now, for this one, we have a pair of solenoids. And we can think about the mutual inductance. So, we can say either the mutual inductance of the outer solenoid with respect to the inner one, or we can write, we can write mutual inductance of the inner solenoid with respect to the outer one. The good thing is that these two are equal. These two are equal to each other. Okay. Now, when there is a current flowing in the inner solenoid, there will be magnetic field lines produced due to that. There will be some magnetic flux. And as a result of magnetic flux passing through the coils of the outer solenoid, there will be an EMF. And the EMF will oppose that change in flux, right? Rim Lenses Law. So, okay. Let's write that. Let's write that EMF. Let's write that EMF. So, EMF in the outer solenoid, this is equal to, this is equal to the mutual inductance of the outer solenoid with respect to the inner one into the rate of change of current in the inner solenoid, right? Because there is a current in the inner solenoid because of which there is an EMF in the outer solenoid, right? So, rate of change of current in the inner solenoid. Okay. Now, the question says that the current of a certain magnitude is flowing, all right? What is the effect of increasing that magnitude of current? So, this current I inner that is being increased. What does that do to the mutual inductance? Well, to figure that out, what I like to do is I like to, I like to take this constant of MOI, I like to take this inside. And why do I do that? That is because I know from Faraday's law, whenever there is an EMF induced, I know that that is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux, not maybe not equal, but let's say it is proportional, right? It's always proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through that coil. So, if I take this constant inside, what does that do? That I can write like this. Let's use the same color. So, okay, let's just rub it over here and add it. It looks like this. Okay. Now, the good thing here is I can equate, I can equate this, this quantity right here with flux. And when I do that, I get flux. This is equal to MOI, mutual inductance of outer with respect to inner multiplied with the current, multiplied with the current in the inner solenoid. Okay. Now, I'm interested in this thing right here, the mutual inductance. So, let's take current to the left hand side and when we do that, the mutual inductance, this is really, this is really equal to flux, flux divided by the current, flux divided by the current in the inner solenoid. And I can write this mutual inductance of the outer with respect to the inner. And also, when we talk about flux, because we are only looking at the outer solenoid for now, we can write this outer. Now, the good thing is that this is equal, right? So, when you are writing MO, you can write flux inner divided by the current in the outer. Now, we know that the current is increasing. So, when the current, this current increases, as a result of that, the strength of the magnetic field lines increase, which increases the flux. So, if you increase the current, that proportionally increases the flux. If you double the current, it will double the flux. And increasing the current in the inner solenoid really is increasing the strength of the magnetic field lines passing through the inner solenoid. But they are also passing through the outer solenoid, right? The inner one is inside the outer one. So, when you increase the current, the flux increases proportionally. And nothing really happens to the mutual inductance. Mutual inductance, in fact, remains the same. So, that's about it. Increasing the current increases the flux proportionally. And that doesn't change the mutual inductance. All right. You can try more questions from this exercise in the lesson. And if you're watching on YouTube, do check out the exercise link, which is added in the description.
