Hi, I'm Mark Punsock as a product at GitLab. Today, I'm going to talk about GitLab's product vision for 2018. Specifically, I'm going to show a prototype of what the product might look like. As you can imagine, with a product vision as extensive as ours, there's a lot to cover. So if you only remember three things from this presentation, know that one, we're going after the complete DevOps lifecycle, and specifically two, we want operations and security to use GitLab as a primary interface. And three, the single application covering this entire scope brings emergent benefits, specifically that people can work concurrently on the same data with the same interface. So hopefully it's obvious by now that we're going from covering the development lifecycle to covering the DevOps lifecycle. But traditional DevOps tools only focus on the intersection between Dev and Ops. And GitLab is going to deliver a complete scope for both Dev and Ops. In particular, that means we're not just looking at how developers can get their code into production, but how operations can then monitor and manage those applications and underlying infrastructure. A big milestone for GitLab will be when operations people log into GitLab every day and consider it their main interface for getting work done. But even that's not really sufficient, as we're redefining what the scope of DevOps even is. We're also covering security. Rather than coming up with some crazy DevSec QA Ops theme, we're just calling it DevOps and putting it all into a single application. And with that, each group gets an experience tailored to their needs, but shares the same data and interface as everyone else, so collaboration is easy. Imagine Ops person finds an issue in production, drills down to find the application with the problem, and sees that a recent deploy caused the problem. Simultaneously, a Dev gets alerted that their recent deploy triggered a change in production, goes to the merge request, and sees the performance change right there. When Dev Ops and security talk, they're looking at the same data, but from their own point of view. Now the scope we're going after is quite large, with a lot of new categories being introduced this year. I won't go into all of these today, but instead I want to focus on a couple flows that paint a picture of how this could look. For this, I'll switch over to an interactive prototype. While this may look like a fully functioning instance of GitLab, it is just a demo, and many of these features have not been implemented yet. I'll start by showing a merge request. One of the new elements we see is a test summary, which shows a deeper understanding of your test results. Using standard JUnit XML output, we can tell exactly which tests fail, and provide that information in a nice summary format. We also see links to the artifacts and the container images associated with this merge request. As I scroll down, we see a lot of information about the extensive collection of tests we've run on the code. First, we see the code quality section, which we've had for a while. Then the relatively new security section, with static application security testing, to find vulnerabilities in our code, dynamic application security testing, to find vulnerabilities while actually running your app, and an analysis of any vulnerabilities in any of your underlying Docker layers. We'll also show how your application performance has changed. And lastly, we'll check your dependencies for any violations of your company's license policy. Now, that's a lot to cover for every merge request, so we have separate issues to redesign for all of this new information. But I wanted to show it all now to see how much we're doing automatically for you. Now, down below is an enhanced code diff, and it'll highlight any code you should pay attention to because of code quality concerns, or because there's no code coverage. Now, this is all part of the shift-left movement, where important quality, security, and performance tests that may have once been run manually, if at all, and usually much later in the development cycle, are now being run automatically as soon as the first code is written. There's a lot more planned, but this is a good idea of the direction we're going in to help developers get their ideas into production faster. But that only covers part of our vision, because there's also the operations point of view. And a big milestone for our DevOps vision is when operations start using GitLab as their primer interface. There's a long way to go, but here we're answering the question, how is production doing? In this case, we're seeing a group with four projects in it, and a quick green, yellow, red indicator of how those projects are doing. We've put a graph of the aptX score there to represent the one metric to watch. Below the projects is a view of the cluster, including CPU and memory usage, possibly indicating when you need to scale up or down the cluster size. Now, if there was an indication that something was wrong, you'd be able to drill down and see more details and rectify the situation. But that's only the first level of understanding of operations. I mean, if we've got the data about how things are doing, why not proactively alert you to the problem? Well, that's the second level and a natural step. But we're not going to stop there. The third level is to automatically detect and resolve any issues. If your app needs more resources, just autoscale it. If you then hit a limit on the cluster, well, add a node to the cluster automatically. The operations experience then really should just be go to work in the morning and see an email summary of what happened without having to do anything. But autoscaling is just scratching the surface, as operations involves a lot more from application, infrastructure, and network monitoring to security patches. After we've got this breadth as a structure, we look forward to the customer feature requests. So that covers dev and ops, but we've got plenty of security features in the product now. How about treating security folks as first class citizens and giving them their own security audit view? This is your one stop shop to see what security vulnerabilities have been detected across the group, showing any automatic or manual actions taken to address the vulnerabilities, and of course, letting you click into details. In the top left, we're reporting on overall success rate in hitting our own internal SLAs for security vulnerabilities. Now, let's drill down on one of those vulnerabilities. We see that the GitLab bot automatically created a merge request to upgrade one of our dependencies because it noticed that a new version was released. Since the tests all pass, and of course, the security vulnerability has been fixed, the merge request was automatically merged by the bot as well. But to bring it full circle, I'm showing here that after merging, the CICD pipeline started automatically deploying to production. I mean, why leave a known, fixable security vulnerability live any longer than it needs to, right? But in this case, even though all tests pass, we still saw the error rate jump by more than 5%. So we automatically stopped the rollout process and automatically rolled back to the last known good version immediately. Then the bot detects this and automatically reverts the merge request so we can leave master in a good state. Phew. So wrapping it up, we're going after the complete DevOps life cycle. We want operations and security to be our new favorite users. And we want teams working concurrently. And that's the GitLab product vision for 2018.


What is going on guys today? I am back with another destiny 2 video and today I'm going to show you guys the fastest Method of farming chests possible There is no faster way because if you do any faster than this which I'll show you guys you literally break the game So you basically want to go to Nessus and you want to go down to the exodus black loading point So you want to load in right here Guys on this video I am giving away thousands and thousands of silver for you to buy that in-game Gear with from Tess ever verse in destiny 2 to win some simply drop a like on a video and leave a comment down below Okay, guys, so if you don't know about this farming spot already I've actually posted a video was posted a couple of videos on this one of them was the first on YouTube The other one was basically the fastest possible way which now is actually incorrect the way I'm going to show you guys today's the actual day the fastest way There's no two ways about it. This is just so so quick. It's unbelievable So you want to come through this rock system and you'll come to this cave right here And I'm just going to get rid of these enemies so I can show you guys who haven't seen this where these chests will spawn in here You can see was one there to my left and saw that the corner of my eye Get rid of you anybody else not okay, so here we are Here's a chest One can spawn there one can spawn there one can spawn there But as a legend and ground then one can spawn up here There's a cave of there, which I will make the video lighter so you can see it you can spawn in that cave You can also spawn there and you can also spawn in this cave right here right there And you can also spawn on a top of these rocks Right there. Well, we can see it spawn here now, so I'll show you guys what you do. You simply grab this You make a quick jug and I just got a legendary habit. How nice is that make a quick sprint here jump on your sparrow Fly down here as fast as you can When you get to the chamber of sky turn back if you spell not flip and simply drive as fast back as you can Without hitting rocks and stopping to that chest There's gonna be enemies in here now, but that's not. Oh, don't do that. I hate when does that There we go. I quickly run back to the chest and grab it again.  So hopefully that was so quick now when I get back to this chest You'll see that it's actually broken it because I've gone so fast. It's unbelievable But yeah, like I said if you time this perfectly and get it the right You won't break the game But it will be the fastest possible way you can do it before you break the game So yeah, it's definitely a great great grind. I can see the chest is right behind this rock, which is good Let's try and grab that Quickly make a run for it quickly I'm gonna try and get this one three times Might might might not be able to do it Get to the chamber and chamber of sky and I chamber and I keep calling it chamber of night some reason I messed up there Don't block me out Okay, let's see if we can do this. Let's see if we can do this Let's see if we can get this three times It's another one Probably I'm probably gonna be a little bit too slow here. I'll pull out your sparrow pull out your sparrow Oh What's going on not enough space? I messed that one up. What is going on? Now I messed that one up.  Is it still there? No, it disappeared But yeah guys and you get my drift you get my drift if I would have probably would have still be there Then if we want to mess that up, let's go through it one more time and see if we can do this Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Keep me dead loot. Give me that loot Now like I said from these chests you can get legendos as you saw me get at the beginning of the video You can get glamour. You can get shaders. You can get blues. You can get all sorts XP as well So you'll eventually level up and get it writing grams as well. So yeah, it's a great great great I think this one's up here now. Yes, it is Give me that Give me that loot Like you see this is it's so fast It's so so fast, but I'll show you guys in a second of me doing this so quick That I did actually end up getting the chest. I was going to orbit and getting back down there so so fast I brought the game I brought the game it looks so hard you break bunches game Which is crazy, but yeah, it is what it is Stop shooting me stop shooting me there we go There we go, and I'm never gonna be able to get that one three times It's just way too far up there Saking me too long between each run, you know, I ain't even gonna attempt it guys But yeah, I'll show you the footage on screen now of me actually doing this and breaking the game and just getting Dud chests and you'll see that it's just crazy. I mean I fly back down to it so fast I'll just get nothing for it. I'll get no rewards No rewards, but yeah guys obviously though if you do like me and take your time Obviously and don't fail on you spare or even fail in spell because you get more time then your time is right And every time you go to the direction fly back down to exit this black you will have your chest for you And you can simply pick it up go through the teleport come back pick it up again And you've got easily the fastest method I described there is there's no faster way There can't be a faster way if there's a faster way you'll break the game like I do and I'd showcase in this video But yes guys, I hope you enjoyed the video I'm going to look for other farming spots on other planets now if there's one specific planet you want to see me Find one on let me know down below within that comment section guys I hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for stopping by as always and hopefully people I will see you on that next one


Hi everyone, Joe for jazzycasewrakes.com coming at you with a pack of 2022 capstone baseball Where we're gonna give away seven of those spring training mixer spots and tonight only Six extra spots being given away within the capstone break itself. So big thanks to this group right here We only sold 24 spots outright Top six will get extra spots. That's our first of three dice rolls One and a four five times top six after five one two three four and once more fifth and final time So we got Logan Patrick Jimmy Chad Chad and Brian Extra spots go on your way after five little buy one get one opportunity for you Give you a little bit better odds and maybe winning one of those mixer spots. Now. Let's do the pack break itself all 30 teams are in There's everyone's names right there. So we got 30 on each list four to three seven times each One two three four five six and seven David M. Down to Chad right four and a three seven times for the teams one two three four five six and seven We got the Cardinals all the way down to the brew crew All right, so no trade windows in these filler packs, but there's the first half of the list There's the second half of the list and let's Alphatize by team. Let's print this list out Let's rip open a pack and that pack's coming from a fresh box Nice. All right. So We'll go one two three for the left side four five six for the right side Four so we'll go right side and then from top to bottom one two three four five six and three so one two three There could be could be hits in here And the next pack I'll just randomly grab but we'll keep it out of the same box though There's the final printout hot off the presses. Thanks everyone for getting in Let's see if we can find some many Surprises out of this single pack here. The next pack is loaded up. That's the last filler and we need a few people We need a handful of people to grab some full spots and then we're in Brakesville on that mixer Let's see what we got right there. There's a lejo Lopez Jeremy Payne is a rookie elder Robert jaren durin and we've got an autograph Corey Lee Nice That's for Houston. That's gonna be for Chad with the extra spot that he won It's a lot of graph out of here. Not bad. You also get that Jeremy Payne a rookie car, too. He's pretty good Larnock and CJ Abrams Padres edition this is gonna go to James He's pretty good to Player to look out for this season. He's on the nationals now. All right, not a bad box Now let's flip back over here. We still have seven big hits to give away The you know those mixer spots could be considered hits, right? That's how I think of it Let's gather everybody's names here one through 30 Third and final dice roll. It's gonna be the top seven after Five and a five attend the hard way one two three four five six seven eight nine and 10th and final time Brian Hayes very close, but no cigar eight through 30. Thanks everyone for giving this a shot. Appreciate you But ultimately sad times, but we do have to do one more of these packs. So I hope you try again one more time Top seven happy times for you. You're locked in on that baseball mixer Patrick is happy that extra spot coming in handy Chad Coleman is happy Patrick's happy again So is James Brian you got in run Chad right and Steve Barry Congrats to the top seven. We'll see you in the mixer. Everyone else. Maybe we can try again one more time We'll try to get you in next time. Jasper's case breaks.com. Bye. Bye


So it's just, I was kind of baffled, I was testing out like the calendar and the reminders and the confirmation emails. That's where at last time is the calendar. Okay. I have the calendar synced up and such, I think that's all a go. And then I was, I was just playing around, I was clicking on my own calendar and scheduling calls and such. Did you integrate it with your Google calendar at all? Or do you use Google? Yes. Yeah. I just got a Google calendar and I integrated it. Awesome. Awesome. So it's kind of nice that I click on my desktop to schedule a fake or test call and it pops up on my phone about five seconds later, which is really nice. What does Google or cartridge? I guess I both do, I think it'll pop up. It'll give me an email. Oh yeah. You'll get the email notification. Yeah, I get the email notification and then it will pop up on my calendar, which is pretty slick. Yeah. I like that a lot. Yeah. Pop up on your Google calendar, right? Yes. Yes. Yes, for sure. That's what I use it for. So I mainly use it for that one reason. I integrate it, I should say, for that main reason for the notification from Google. Yeah, I like that a lot. Because cartridge will send you a notification via email when the actual call is booked, but they don't send you a notification when that call is coming up. So I use Google to notify me on that. Yep, that makes sense. Perfect, man. Look at you, man. That email looks good. So again, I was playing around with this, actually just, I was kind of concerned because they were not coming to me like the confirmation email and the reminder email. Oh, okay. Yeah. There's a setting in cartridge that you got to change. I went to my junk email. Oh, you found it there? And there are my junk email. So now that you experienced that, cartridge, one thing that they do have is they have a very, very, very high inbox rate. So when it comes to all email providers, there's many different email providers and they're all graded. They're all graded on deliverability. So it's like way up there. Cartridge is like top five out of every provider when it comes to that deliverability hitting the inbox. But every now and then you'll have it hit the spam. And so now that you experienced that, what I would do is I would maybe just update your thank you page, maybe on the thank you page, say, hey, I just sent you the email, maybe just write it in text, check the spam folder, just in case. Maybe even say it on that thank you page, maybe write the title of the email. You know, that way they could check for spam or they could check in their inbox, but they'll know the title of the email and they can search it that way. I would write something on that thank you page. Okay. I'll put it down there for that. Yeah, for sure. Junk email setting or whatever it is. Okay. All right. We can figure that out. And then you see, I think that one came through just fine. Yeah, that was the call confirmed. All confirmed. Awesome. That one's all just fine there. It looks like. Looks good, man. Looks good. I love it. All right. And then this one, for some reason, I can't, I try to fix this over here, but won't let, I can't fix it for some reason or another. How it looks to like, just space in between there. Yeah. Okay. So let's, yeah, we can take a look at that for sure. Try to figure that out. I guess we can try that first. And then, oh yeah, this part up here too. Let's go. Yeah. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's see if we can edit that. And you know what? That would actually be, there's two places that email could be coming from. I only do it in one place, which is in the calendar. So that home inspection call in one hour. That's the reminder email. So that email is coming from the calendar. It's not coming from the form. Okay. So go back to Cartwright real quick. You're in the form. So this is one place where the welcome, where the booking confirmation email, the first initial email can come from the form, but I don't have it come from here. So let's, let's just double check ours. Hit save and next. Let's look at the, okay, hit save and next. It's the actual, yeah, see, so you don't have it there perfect.  And so as we're right here in the welcome message spot, always make sure that that's turned off. Make sure that you do not send it from here because if it's a normal landing page, I have it sent through the sequence. But if it's a calendar form, I have that first email, the booking confirmation email, for example, I have that going out to the calendar. So it's either going to be the sequence where this welcome message goes out through on a normal landing page or on the calendar, it's in the calendar. All right. So go ahead and hit save and next and just go through the follow through with that. That's perfect. Goes on that list. Okay. Cool. So now let's go into the, into my calendars. That's where that, those, those two emails are, are coming from the booking confirmation and the reminder in one hour. There's a camera. Look at these ones. Oh, at here, at that, so I'm starting to get a little more of a handle on all this good, good stuff, which is nice playing around with it here and there. Good. And try to watch the replays of the trainings if you, if you can. Yeah. I guess I just got a time of that call, I guess, but that's okay. I got, I got the, the man on the hour here anyways. Yeah. It's all good. Okay. So let's hit save and next, and let's go to the, to the communication. Save and next action. It's right here. All right. So let's look at, let's look at both of them and then the reminder. So you're taking phone calls, right? Actual. Yes. Okay. That if they, I think I, I think I can go and edit in here somewhere. There we go. And on the form you're asking for their phone number. Yes. I believe they had a phone numbers in there. Okay. Good. Cause I didn't, I don't remember seeing that, but I didn't, I didn't look like a double check that. I guess we'll double check. Okay. So in here. Let's scroll down and see if we can look at those social media icons real quick. Oh yeah. That's what I was in those. What one is this? I remember one was one that was goofy. Okay. So that's. So I think that's all okay. That's confirmation one. Okay. I think all the, all that was fine. I believe as well. Yeah. That's, that's fine. So all that looks good. Perfect. It's kind of weird that you have to edit. Yeah. Right. It should be save or something, right? Yeah. I think someone missed that one. Yeah. Yeah. Save it there. The green one right there. And then let's look at this reminder. This one here. Click. Okay. So size. Does this look like it should be correct to. Yeah. Yeah, that looks, that looks, that looks okay. I wonder why it didn't show up on your end. You can always send me the test email. Yes. So central time. Yeah. That's a reminder. Yeah. Something here did not show up for some reason. Schedule time. Let's see. Go back to Karcha. Central time. Calendar next. I think I spell it all correctly. So did you put that there? Or did you copy and paste it from the dynamic variable? I can't remember. Okay. So that's what probably you probably. If you did type it there, then there's, there's the typo. Yeah. And then you hit the dynamic variables and simply copy it. Copy it and paste it over there. Actually, do they even have all that? I think they only have. So if anything. Yeah. Yeah. You would copy it from up there. And then, and then bring it down. I think. Yeah. That's what it is. Calendar next instead of next session. Date or time. What would it be? Do you think? Um, next session time, next session date. Probably date. I'm guessing calendar event. Cause I have next in here. That's probably the next. That's what it is. That should not be there. Okay. But I'd get rid of the whole thing.  So we need the date schedule time. I would go, yeah, go date calendar event date. And, and do the, the calendar event time. Hey, control B. Yeah, control is control B. Come on. Oh, there we go. Okay. Can you guys put a comma in there? I'm sure. Yeah. Time. Yeah. The time would be good. But I also think that that time ends up coming over in military time. If I'm not mistaken, which we'll double check. We'll, we'll check. I have to put a time zone in there as well. I think. What I do in mind is I'll put, I'll put a link to a military converter. Just, I'll just find a random one on Google. And that's kind of how, how I have mine where like, I'll put a space, like just put a space, hit the space bar, hit a space, hit space. And then. Yeah, I guess you could put in the bullet point if you want. I guess, yeah. Let's do it in the bullet point. So go back, go back to that again. Right there and just put, put a military time converter. Military time converter. And then I'll hyperlink that. I mean, I'll highlight it. I'll bold it. That's one thing I do. Also, I bold it and then I'll, I'll link it. So hit that link. Yeah. And then just go to Google and, and find a calendar and we'll find a basic one. Military. Military time. I use, I use that second one. I use that second one. I think it's, I think it's that one. So it's just one, one simple page. But what you want to do is double click, double click. Grab everything because you're just grabbing the military. Yeah, there you go. Copy all of that. There we go. Control C. And then back over here. Yeah, because I think, I think that does come over in military time. So. Yeah, probably does. I just put that just in case. And then click out. Yeah, perfect. And then what I, what I do also a lot is I, because right now it's bolded black and, and sometimes it stays that way. Sometimes it's blue. But what I do just, just to, just to make sure it's blue as I change it to blue. So military time converter the words. I would just highlight it and I would change the color to blue because anytime we see the color blue, it's a hyperlink. Yeah. We know it's a hyperlink. So yeah, that blue right there. Perfect. So that will come over linked and they can click on that. If anything. All right, that works. Send a test, send a test and, and, and then let's, let's check that. And then there's the icon. So let me. I wonder why it's. That's playing around with that. I could not figure out how to move it over. If anything, what you can do is, um, is, is redo it. I mean, if that's the case, just. Yeah. Good race. Redo it. Yeah. I was looking. I was looking in the. So yeah, go back. Yeah. Templates and then go to footers. I was looking in here and I, and they, there was not as much a custom ability, I think, on for these for some reason. Cause I can't change out the icons. Yeah, there's only one thing that's not the one that's not, I think included is, is YouTube. And, um, and I think LinkedIn or is LinkedIn included. I normally just use the top. Like I'll use one of the two top, the two white ones, but it's up to you. I mean, but I just, I use end of using one of those Twitter LinkedIn and an email. I think up there. I hear the email. There's none that have an Instagram one on it. Yeah. I don't know why. I don't know why. I think there was, I think I took this piece from a, a full template and actually had an Instagram one. So I can, I can play around with that way. I can, I can fix that. Okay. So go to center test and see if that link, um, See if everything looks good. See, let's make sure it doesn't go in a junk. Is there a way you can put not spam? Yeah, I can make it as it's not junk. Yeah, not junk. It's not junk. Okay. Perfect. I could, I could add a thing in my email to, uh, Not let it to not to block stuff from cart. I guess. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So let's look at that and then go and click on it. Or yeah, there goes schedule time test, test, test, test. Perfect. Okay. Military time converter. Click on that. Make sure it's linked. Oh yeah. Perfect. That works. Yeah.  Mm hmm. That's that. All right. That's good. I can fix that area. It's not that bad like that. Anyway, but Uh, I think I just go up here and save it then. Actually, there's a little space here. That's better. There we go. Save that. Perfect. Okay. I should fix it that. So. That. That. Yeah. What you always want to do is, is, I don't think it's saved. That one of my calendars. Yeah. With my calendars. Let's take a look at it real quick. Cause. Am I not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I might have. Missed that. I think that's fine out. You said I'm 38% done. That's good. All right. Let's go. See the next. See next. Did I break it? Let's see. Okay. Looks like it's still there. Okay. Cool. Yeah. Always try to get in the habit of hitting that green button. Yeah. You might not hit that green. Save. Yeah. Save. And then you want to go all the way through.  Gosh, you just finish it. Yeah. I was getting a little ahead of myself. There we go. Cool. Okay. Okay. That's been gone. Good. Excellent. Okay. I'm going to go back. Pages. Was it. It should go to my. The PDF, right? Or I think it should anyway. This right here should. Yeah. So hit the, hit the edit. Hit that pencil. I love it, man. So there's the form. So the form's good. So is that this whole thing right here is a form? Yes, that's a form. That's the form. So they download now. And then they go to the thank you page. And then. So this, I think I tested out before that. I clicked download now. I might have just copied the link. And all it did was take me to a thank you page. It didn't take me to, it didn't download anything. So. Where do you have that download? You can either have it on the thank you page, which I don't suggest. Or you can have it going out in the first email. Okay. So. So what it go to. I would put in the first email. That's what I would do. So let's, let's get out of here. Okay. And let's go to, let's go to the actual sequence. Yeah. Okay. So that's actually know what we want to do first is let's click on, let's click on, um, on my membership. Click on my memberships. And then click on files at the top. Okay. So there's your, there's your link. So let's copy that. And let's, let's rename it to click on, click on the pencil. Click on the pencil and let's get rid of that to zero, zero. Yeah. Whatever that is in there. Yeah, let's get rid of that. Let's, um, maybe capitalize the H, capitalize the I, capitalize the, the G, and maybe get rid of seven, but leave the dot PDF. Yeah. Going to there. Yeah, make sure, make sure it's connected though. Is that dot, was that dot close to the. Oh, that's make it connected only. Yeah. Close, close it out. Close up the gap, actually. See. There we go. Perfect. Okay. So let's edit that. And then let's grab that link. So just hit the, hit the link right there. Get link and then copy that link. Control C. And then, and then let's go to my communications to the left. And let's look at the sequence. So that link should be in the sequence. You could take off that second email right there. That one with the red dot. Yeah. Delete that one. Okay. Anytime you see the red dot like that, you want to get it out of there. Like, actually, actually hit actions. It would be under actions. Okay. Delete leads. Yeah. Delete leads. Okay. So now let's, let's hover over communications and click on sequences. Sequences. I just want to figure out where the. Okay. So this right here, this is where we're at. This, this is the next to do. Is the sequence is setting up the handful of emails that are going to go out. The moment that person. Ops in. So this is where you want to spend some time is, is setting up these emails. You don't need to set up 10 of them right now, but you want to for sure get the ball rolling. Like so. So just like this diagram shows right here, they, they're going to be in the form. Or they placed an order or they join a list, whatever, but in this case it's often into a form and it's joining a list, but the, the, the one day later. Send email. Or immediately after send email. So in our, in our case, the first email is going to be immediately. It's not going to be one day later. It's going to be immediately. And so that's what we have to set up. We have to set up these emails that immediately that's going to be in the form. So that's what we're going to do. We're going to set up the link or the button to download the PDF. Okay. Okay. So let's hit that green button. Or that green square. This is where it all happened. So this is the sequence. So name of sequence. I normally name it at the sea. I normally name it the same name I have for the list. So whatever that list is. The name of the list. I normally name it the same. Okay. Perfect. What am I missing here? And then put a description, this description. This is what a person sees when they go to unsubscribe from a list. So if they ever unsubscribe, you want to kind of give them a description of what list they were even on. Okay. So I would put, thank you for downloading my home inspection guide. Or some like that. Hit create. Perfect. There you go. And now what I'm going to do is I'll show you how to, how to set up a couple of emails. And then, and then after that it's the same. Just do it again, do it again, do it again, do it again. So let me take you through the first, the first step. So here's just a tutorial just like on the, on the webpage. Yeah. But this is something good to read eventually. I'm going to take it through a crash course. So you're not going to have to read this right now, but just hit next on all of them. But keep it up. So the next time you come in here, you can actually read each one because that way you'll know it. I'll show you exactly the technical side of it all, but I'll show you exactly what it is, what it's all about right now. Okay. Cool. So this is where it starts, man. This is where all the magic happens because here, here's the reality and it, and it's for every niche for any offer, any PDF, whatever the hell it doesn't matter what, what it is. If we're in the type of business where appointments is what we're shooting for home inspection. That's what you're going for real estate agent. That's what they're going for me. Even in my business, I'm going for appointments. So if you're in the type of business where, where that's the objective, I'm, I'm running ads, for example, to get people to, you know, schedule an appointment with me. Here's, here's what normally happens. And again, it doesn't matter what business it is. It's the same all across the board. You drive traffic, meaning you run a Facebook ad to that landing page. They opt in, they go to your thank you page. And on that thank you page, it's a video getting them to schedule an appointment. What's going to happen more, a little more than half of the time. So for every 10 people, for every 10 people, you'll have maybe, you'll have maybe let's just say, let's just say on the high end, let's just, let's just look at high, high numbers. You'll have eight that don't schedule an appointment right then in there. Yep. Two of them do, two of them do, and that's fine.  You know, so that's why the good thing is you don't need all 10 of them to schedule an appointment at all. You'd be super busy. And like way too busy. So it's not like we even need that many appointments. We literally need a few every day. That would keep us doing very well. Right. So, so looking at it all, when you look at the small numbers, it's still enough to feed your family for sure. Let's say worst case scenario, out of 10 people that land on that thank you page and see that video with the call to action to schedule a call. Eight of them don't. Two of them do, eight of them don't. That's why this sequence is so important because now those eight people are whole objective in these emails, whether we set up five, whether we set up 10, whether we set up 15. The whole objective here is to get them to schedule that appointment. Yep. So, so the magic is in the follow-up. The magic is in the email sequence. So, so filling up the funnel, the top of the funnel. That's the Facebook ad. That's given away the home inspection guide, but nurturing that lead and getting them to schedule, schedule an appointment. It's going to happen here. Yep. So, so as long as you have, you know, a ton of leads coming in every week, for example, and, and now you have a ton of leads receiving these emails from you every day, you're going to have appointments every day. Sweet. You know, so, so that, this is where it all starts right here. So, so the starting rule, the starting rule, that's where it starts. Hit that plus sign. Click. And so this is where we set it up. We can base it on, on all these different events, whether it's an opt-in form, a tag, a list to order, whatever, but in your case, it's going to be, you can keep it simple and just leave it on opt-in form. So the starting rule is anyone who opts in to the landing page form, those leads are in this sequence. Okay. So hit add and then hit save. Perfect. Now, what we're going to do is we can either do this with, with SMS, with text. So if you're asking for phone number right up front, this can happen with text, but that's not going to happen. Ask for just email. Like on that landing page, we're only asking for name and email. It's going to be all email. So click on send email to the top left. And you're going to drag it right below. Gotcha. Gotcha. And drop it right below. There you go. Right there. Okay. And you'll always want to give yourself some room, but right there's fine. And so here's how it, here's how it is. It's going to be this way for everyone. So the, so once we're done with this one, it's the same thing for the second one. Same thing for the third one. This is the actual setup. So this email, this is email number one. And you're going to have to type this one and go out right after they opt in. Right. So leave it like that. And then just hit the green one hit next. Give me, give me one second. Okay. Yep. That's okay. Hey crying babies come first. Oh my gosh, bro. It's crazy. Crazy. Crazy. So this will be right after a previous seven and hit next and just go through the, go through the setup right here. So day and time I leave it the same, just hit next. And then communication. This is going to be the title of the email. So this could be right. For, for example, for right now you could just put email number one and then you could just change it later. But normally right here in the communication, I'll put the title of the email. So email number one hit next. And then the gateway, it's coming from that email. So if they reply, they'll reply down when that's perfect. You can always change it, but that's, that's perfect. So hit next. And then the recipients send if just go ahead and hit the dropdown. Anyone reaching this step. So that's what you're going to go with on that. And then just click add. And then split test is just. Yeah. Hit next. Single email. Next. And then the content. And that's all it is, man. So. That's too hard. Yeah. Not at all. And so you go to advanced. And then you can choose your template. And then just work off of that one. Okay. So this would be. So hit design templates. You got all the stuff in here again. Yep. All the stuff we know how to go through and do. Actually go to, go to your favorites. Do you have one saved? I don't know. Yeah. So my templates. Yeah. So you could just keep working off of that one. What's in here to find out. That's all that one. Yeah. So there's that one. You can work out of that one. And I normally leave it. I normally use the same template over and over over just for the social media icons. Cause I don't want to keep change those. You know, I take time. So this would be. This could be email number one, but for example, what you can do is you can, you can like, cause we're in advanced. So hit to the left, go to button, look for the button. Oops. Button button button. Not in there over here. Buttons. Yeah. So drag over a button and put that button down there. And you'll, you'll edit everything at the top, but bring the bottom to the, the button to the bottom. Because that could be, um, Actually, I don't know if you can drag it. You might have to just exit out and do it again. But you can make that button be the button that they click on to download your PDF. So yeah, put it right there. Perfect. And then just edit the button. You can change the color. You can change the text and you can paste in that URL. So it goes right there. Gotcha. Gotcha. It's there. Okay. And then change the text. Click here to download your home inspection guide or something like that, you know, up at the top, top left, top left, top left, the copy. Right where it says read more. Oh, got you. And then maybe turn that to, you know, change the color to your, to your right. My colors. Yep. Click. I'm so better. See, so then all you do is just reword everything and. Yep. There it is there. So that will be, so they go to. So when they get to the Facebook. Add. And they click on learn more. Does that take, where does that take them? That's going to take them to the landing page. That takes them to the landing page, right? Yes. So my landing page. It says download now. So right when they, right when they enter their name and email, they're going to get this email right away. This one right here. Yep. So this is going to go out immediately. Okay. After they fill out the option form. So I'm the landing page. They fill out the form. And they. Yeah, they click learn more. They fill out the form. And then it will send them this email. Yes. So it will say download now on the landing page. And then I'll send them this email. They'll send the email. Okay. So send it. Go ahead and send yourself a tech, a test email. Can I do it? Save. I think I do it. It won't let me. The reason for it, you got to put a subject line. Oh, yes. There we go. Test. Send a test. My jump one is still probably not yet. Hey, I came to my inbox at that time. There we go. So now click on that red button and see if you. Get the. Download the PDF. Hey, there it is there. Nice. Okay. Yes, man. So that's the first email. That would go out instantly. And then now we just work on email number two and on. So. Let's send out. X out of that. And then, and then let's, let's go. Let's finalize this part real quick. So yeah, come back in and edit that obviously, and then go to the very top and click the green one. Oh, there it is. Hit next. Okay. And then create. So that's it. That's how you set up an email in, in the sequence that is. So now we're going to, it's going to bring us back over here. We're going to click on the three dots. We're going to activate. Activate. Then we're going to connect the two gray half moons, the, the top one to the, to the bottom one. Yeah. There you go. Just. Actually, no, not, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Down, down, down. Yeah. Give yourself some room. Because what you want to, yeah, there you go. Yeah. Put it way down there. Yeah. Perfect. There we go. Yeah. Yeah. And then, and then you can arrange them. So just hit that arrange that. A button at the top. So you have that circle with the, with the, like hamburger looking thing. Very top in the black. Header in the black bar up there to the left. To the left. Left. Right there. Oh, that. And now, now in this, all you do is go to the top left, send email and do it again and then connect it. Do it again. Connect it. And you can set up as many as you want. In 1000 emails. You can, but what you want to do for sure is set up at least seven. Like I would break down that PDF. And that's what you want to do in these, in these emails is break down the book, break down the PDF. Like maybe go into more detail of different topics or different paragraphs or different. Chapters or different bullet points. Like that's what I would do in my emails. In fact, that's what I do do in my emails. Like in my, in my PDF, for example, I'm, I'm teaching five steps. So there's these five specific steps. And they're all the steps that I took you through. Step one, step two, step three, step four, step five, step six, step seven. And they're all the steps that I took you through. Step one, all your links. Step two, getting a few thousand likes on the business page. Step three, introducing yourself and running a Facebook ad to your local market. And then now step four, we're on cartridge landing pages. And then step five, email automation. So in my free download, I'm, I'm teaching these five steps. And so in my emails, I'm just simply breaking down these five steps in video. And I'm just kind of just giving more value, breaking down each step and showing them in video form. And that's my, that's my email. So in my case, to tell you the truth, I have five emails, five in my sequence here. But what I tend to do is add more often. Like now I think I'm at like 11, it started with five, but now I just keep adding more. Because why not? Like I want to stay on topic and I can keep talking about that topic until the freaking moon comes out. So in your case with you can too. So I would just start, start with five or start with seven, break down different parts of the PDF. And then just start adding more to it. Start adding more to it because people, you want these emails to tell you the truth. You want them to go on forever. So you're not going to set up 17 of them right now, but, but maybe set up a handful and just keep coming back and adding more to it. Because I'm going to keep sending these people emails. And I'd rather it being an automated format. Cause I don't want to go physically email anybody. So I'd rather just set it all up in here. Load them all up in here. It's all automated. Load it all up. Add more, add more, add more, add more. And as, as new people come in, they'll get email number one, they'll get email number two, and they're not going to stop until they get to email number 27. Eventually. Yep. You know, so I would keep adding because a person, the whole objective is to either get you to schedule a call or to get you to unsubscribe. Yep. Either one. Either one. So I've done that a lot. I've always subscribed a lot from a lot of other. Yeah. Every month I try to do that. Yeah. So, so, and then, and then let's say, for example, you set up 11 emails and let's say on the ninth one, let's say on the ninth one, that lead actually schedules an appointment. What we're going to do is we're going to set up a whole another email list. So not, not exactly a sequence, but an email list. So for example, if there's 11 emails that are here and that lead schedules and appointment on email number nine, then we're going to set up an automation where they're automatically off of this sequence and added to the other list. Gotcha. Gotcha. Because if they, if they schedule an appointment on email number nine, they don't need to receive 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Yep. Right. Because in those emails, all I'm trying to do is get them to schedule the call, but they've already scheduled a call. They did on email number nine. You know what I mean? So, so now the system will automatically, as long as we program it that way, which I'll show you how to do, but it will automatically unsubscribe them from this sequence and add them to a different list. Gotcha. So in that case, it'll be scheduled appointments. So that list, everyone who schedules an appointment on your calendar, where do you have it set up right now to go to that list, scheduled appointments? Yep. Right. That's another list that you have in here, right? Yeah. That's another list. That's another list that you do. So we can set up the automation where anyone who lands on the scheduled appointment list unsubscribe from the sequence. That's an automation. Yep. Yeah. Cause they don't need to see the rest of those. Yes. So we'll set that up real quick right now as well. But that's, that's all you do. So now you're just going to grab, send email, drag it down and work on email. That's pretty easy. Yeah. Let's get out of here real quick. Hit done and exit. You can always come back, but let's set up this automation real quick. Click on. Click on. Hover over leads at the top and click on list. Let me make sure you have that list. Great. Quick. My communications. And it's up there on the communications. This part's kind of buried in here a little bit. Drag that zoom bar. You can move that over. The zoom. Are you looking at the zoom bars? The zoom bar in the way? No, it's just running down. You know, hear of how to get back to. Gotcha. Gotcha. This part. Okay. Yeah, that's sequences. Okay. All right. So if you hover over leads to the left of that, and then click on list. Leads. Leads at the very top. Oh, there. And click on list. So you should have two lists at this point. There we go. Okay. Perfect. So these are our two lists. And it's only the second list that we have tied to a sequence. Okay. So we're going to set up an automation for anyone who lands on the scheduled appointments. Unsubscribe. Not from this list, but unsubscribe from the sequence. Okay. So now hover over communications and click on automations. Okay. Perfect. So this right here is, is magic, man. This, this automation, once you really start to build out this stuff, this automation is, is, is gold. So click on the green square there, automation. And this is all it is, man. If this happens, then do this. Yep. Right. Very straightforward. So if, and then hit the dropdown, if lead subscribes to list, let's go with that one. And there's many different options, but we'll, we'll go with that one. If lead subscribes to the scheduled appointments. Yep. Click on add. Then unsubscribe them. Unsubscribe. No, not from list. Unsubscribe, scroll down. Unsubscribe from sequence. Okay. And there was more down there. Yep. There's a ton of them, but these are the main ones. Yeah. So unsubscribe from that sequence. Click add. So you got 11 emails set up. That person, that lead schedules an appointment on email number three. They're automatically unsubscribed. Cause now that now they're on the scheduled appointment list. And no longer needing to be on the home inspection lead sequence. That is true. So click on save. And in the same thing, the same, the same concept applies for Facebook ads, right? When they opt in and they download that inspection guide and they land on the thank you page, that thank you page, we have set up as a custom audience. So as we go and run future ads, we're going to always make sure we exclude that custom audience from ever seen another ad. Cool. So very similar, you know, so that's that part. That's automations. What else do we got? That's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. So here's what I would recommend. Work on those sequences. You want to get at least a handful before we run an ad. It's at least set up maybe three, four, five of them. Before, before you set up an ad and in each email, the first email, let's go back to real quick. Sequences at the top, click on sequences. Here's what you want to do. Let's, let's, let's look at email number two real quick. Let's go back in, hit the pencil, hit edit. Here's the whole concept for email number two and on email. Number one was to send them that first initial email to download their copy, but email number two and on the whole objective there is to schedule an appointment. So now what we can do. Yeah, go through this part. Let's click on send email at the top and drag it down. Let's drop it below and let's just name this one. Number two. And so just to give you an example at, as you can clearly see right, right here, the first one's email number one. Yeah. So what I always advise is name that email number one, name it the subject line of the email. Because as we come in here and we look at the 30,000 square foot view of 10 emails. I can look at each one and know the subject line. Right.  Yep. I want to be able to look at it from here from this view and look at each email and be like, okay, cool. That's the home inspection one. That's the, this one. That's the, you know what I mean? So email number two is what you'll name this one for now, but in the future, once you know the subject line, change it to the subject line. So in this case, what we want to do is so we want to wait a day. We want to wait two days. Let's wait one day. So wait a number of days and let's send one out. We can sell one out every day or we can send one out every other day. I have both. There's some of my sequences where I send it out. I'll send out either every day. I'll send out every other day or I'll send out every three days. It just, it's just preference, but. Yep. One day's fine. That's perfect. So next. And then next. And then the communication. So email number two, but again, do you change it? Yeah. Make sure you always have it as a subject line. So that's even number two for now. And then next. The gateway there's that email. You're fine. Next. And then the recipients. Here in here. So send if, and then just go anyone reaching the step. Normally I'll, I'll choose that one. Anyone reaching the step on the first couple emails. But for, from email number three and on, for example. I'll choose. I'll choose email number three. Actually, you know what? Let me, let me show you now. Let me show you X out of that. Anyone reaching this step. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, that one down. So from email number three and on. Hit the select, hit the drop down. I'll normally choose subscribed to list. So from email number three and on. Sometimes people already will already be unsubscribed by this point. Right. So I don't want to just send it to them. If they're already unsubscribed from the list. So that's when I'll start putting in the, putting in these types of triggers where email number three and on, I'm going to go with subscribe to the list. So as long as they're still subscribed to the original list, then they'll continue to get these emails. Right. So why don't you just do that now? Do that now from email number two and on. If they're still subscribed to the lead, the lead one, hit that drop down, select list. If they're still subscribed to that one. Then okay, cool. They're going to continue to get these emails. So yeah, get in the habit of the email number two and on. Okay. So hit next. Single single email. And then single email. And then here goes the actual content and such. We are still there. Okay. So in this case, you can use, you can go advanced and then use that template. But here's, here's kind of what I wanted to point out on, on this one is that now from email number two and on, our whole objective is to get them to schedule a call. So that red button that you link your PDF to, we now want to link it to the calendar. Yep. So hit design templates. And then just grab my template, grab your, the heart one, grab that one and just, I would just keep using the same one over and over and over. But, but add that button and then, and then, and then maybe add a button, turn it red and then maybe save that as the template.  And then, and then save this template. So that URL, whenever you're linking a button in an actual page, then link it directly to the calendar. But when you're linking a button in an email, you actually need the link. So you're going to need your calendar link to put it, to put here.  It helps if I can spell that correctly. Something like that. Where'd that go? Click you. Okay, so now you'll need your calendar link. Calendar link. Just right here. Perfect. Hey, there's my calendar. Awesome. So just double click up there, grab the whole thing. HTTPS. Actually, not the, not that PL for P. I don't know why that, that by default, I see that on my side too. So it's everything, but that, there you go. That whole link. The fray takes like 10 hours to get to one. Yes. So now there is, is a link. So from email number two and on, that's the freaking goal. The goal is to get them to schedule a call.  You know, I can talk to them on the phone. Yeah. They have questions about the inspection. And maybe, and maybe even, even, even change out the images. Cause that's what I do too. So I use the same template, but I'll change out my images. I'll change out the texts, obviously. Um, maybe, maybe, maybe instead of thank you.  And you can even link the image. Okay. So whatever, you know, just getting chain, tweaking it up a little bit is all I'm saying, you know, maybe different pictures on different ones would be cool too. That's a great picture right there. I mean, shit, that's a really good picture right there, but changing it up couldn't be dogs better looking at me though. No, man. You look good right there, man. Great, great professional looking picture, great background. I love it. I had a professional photographer come out. Did you? Yeah, man. Looks good. So changing that image every now and then would be cool. But, but that's, that's it, man. Is right now a few of the images and referencing the book. That's what I would do referencing different pages in the book. Um, and just going into more detail. Um, And just nurturing that lead and just getting them to schedule the call. Yeah, I can go through that and, and, uh, And then three dots and then activate and then just connect it, connect it and then, and then arrange it. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, man. There it is there. And so I would just keep taking that down, man. Right now, obviously just work on a few, but as time goes on, just keep adding to it, keep adding it to it, keep adding to it. Because now that you have the automation set up, it's like, man, it's either, it's either going to schedule a call or they're going to freaking continue to get these emails or they're going to unsubscribe eventually. I'm sure you can see the whole blueprint of all, of how all that stuff works in your mind. Yeah. Yeah. It's sort of, it's a little bit muddy for me right now, but I'm starting to see it. Yeah. Once I, once I can kind of visualize it in my brain, it's like, I'm very good with like maps and directions. Yeah. Like if I just look at a map, I can tell, I can figure out where I'm going like 95% of time without using the map at all. I can just memorize it. But that's like this once I start seeing this and I can actually start building it in my head. Like, okay, once someone does this, it goes here, it goes here, it goes here, it goes here. I can remember all that once actually. Yeah. Figure it all out. Yeah. That's why I try to jump on these calls, man, or at least watch the replay because that's going to really help you understand the platform even more. Definitely a lot more season than I was a month ago. Yeah. And I'm going to, I'll send you emails too, man. I'll send you different trainings, different tutorials on how I'm setting up everything. So check out for my emails as well. Sweet, sweet. But work on this part, work on a few of these, like write them out, like actually get, get into it and, and write out a few emails. And then, and then I think our next step is to, is to start an ad, man. We're getting awfully close here. Yeah. Super close. We got to start filling up this lead list right here, man. Yeah, that would be pretty sweet. Yes. I did put a, I got a video on the thank you page now. Nice, man. Nice. And then maybe, maybe add like a little one-liner, you know, check spam, the email entitled. You know, maybe that, I got that on my notes here to fix that. Perfect. I said, hey, check your junkie or spam folder if you don't see something right away. Yeah. Not good stuff. So other than that, I got enough to work on it for a little while again. Yeah, man. So knock that out and let's talk sooner than later, man. We got to get these ads out. Oh yeah. We're definitely getting, I can see the finish line. I thought we were closer to the finish line than we were. Now I got more stuff to do, but that's okay.  Yeah, put money in the machine. Put money in the machine, right? Yeah. Gas is money. Yep. That is true. I definitely appreciate the help on. This call here to. I was trying to figure out how is this, how is that back and stuff going to work now? I can actually see how it's going to work. So. Heck yeah. And just check my emails because I'm going to, I'm going to start sending you some tutorials of how I'm doing stuff. Sounds good. So just schedule the calls sooner than later. Sounds good. Well, thanks for the help today. I got to get my, I got to get my back cracked now. Sounds fun. Right on, man. I'll talk to you soon. All right. You too. Bye-bye.


And when it comes to self publishing a book, what's involved in that? Tell us a little bit about how did you do it and how are you getting the word out? So the first thing is you got to write the book and writing the book is a really, really difficult thing. In my particular case, I started about seven and a half years ago. I wrote six chapters. I looked at them and one day I said, you know what, this is all garbage and I threw them all out. And then I started over a few months later and I wrote another three chapters and I looked at them and I said more garbage and I threw them all out. And then a few months, you know, more went by and I finally wrote one chapter and I looked at it and I said, this is good. Nice. And I just let it sit for about 10 months. And then I picked it up again and I read it and I was like, this is still good. And in the next year, I wrote another 11 chapters. So I had my initial manuscript and I thought, yay, I've got a good book. So then I gave it to a friend of mine who was in my field to do a technical read. And unfortunately, after he read that, I had to rewrite four chapters from scratch because he basically said they didn't make any sense. So it took me months to rewrite those four chapters. Rewriting is way more difficult than writing. And then I thought I had a good manuscript. I gave it back to him and he was cool with them. And I gave him to another friend of mine who has written a couple of books. Because of that, I had to rewrite two other chapters. Then I gave him to my sister-in-law, who is the editor of a literary magazine. And she did the first sort of readability edit on it. And I thought it was good. At this point, I had been through so many editing rounds. And then I showed it to some people and they said, it really needs a good edit. So I did this one myself. In last December, I edited it down from 84,000 words to 63,000 words. I took out over 20% of the book. It was a very painful process. Yeah, I can imagine. It was so much better when I finished. I took out a lot of redundancies. I tightened up the language. And then I still gave it to a few more people to edit. So finally, in May, I had a complete manuscript. So your first task as someone who writes a book is to get to the point where you have a manuscript that you're actually not embarrassed by. If you want to do this all by yourself. It's a good idea to hire publishers, sorry, to hire editors. In my case, I had enough people in my network that people did it as a favor to me, which was lovely. And then you actually have to take a manuscript and turn it into an actual book. So you need to find someone to design the covers and the layout. And that's more involved than I imagined. But my designer was amazing. She did a great job. Then you got to figure out how to actually put it on a publishing platform. Probably the biggest, most popular public publishing platform right now is KDP by Amazon. I think it's Kindle Direct Publishing. That's what it stands for. Basically, they tell you how to create templates that your book fits into. And you create those templates. You upload it to their site. And you got a book. Wow. Just like that. Just like that. I mean, it's a little more involved. In order to have a book, you have to have an ISBN number. There's different ways of getting that. You can have Amazon do it for you. You can do it yourself. There's advantages to either. There's also, if you want to get your book out through independent bookstores, then you shouldn't use Amazon exclusively. I used an organization called Ingram Sparks, which is a platform for publishing or self-publishing that the independent bookstores use. And you can do both. So I did both simultaneously. Total learning curve. I had to get a Library of Congress number. Who even knew I needed that? But you, yeah. But that's why Amali, who assisted me a lot in this, she helped me figure out a lot of that stuff. Because the research would have just taken me so much time to figure out all those things. And that's because, again, I'm independent. I want to do things myself. There's people out there you can pay to just shepherd you through that whole process. And I think for many people, that's the smarter choice. It wasn't the choice for me just because I like doing things myself. That's awesome. And now, in terms of just getting it out there, because I'm sure there's people listening who have always wanted to write a book. And the one thing I always try to figure out is like, what's the second step? How do you get it out? Is it social media?  But obviously, now it could be readings that different. You can't do that, I guess, because of COVID. So what I did decided to do is start local. Start with everybody I know in the world. Now, in my case, that happens to be a lot of people. I've taught in dozens of companies. I've taught thousands of people over the years. I've reached out to all of my students. I've reached out to all of my clients. I've reached out to all my friends and family members, letting them know about the book, asking them to spread the word, asking them to read it and comment on it. And it's a slow process, but it feels like it's gathering some steam. I think social media is huge. I started off with LinkedIn as the main platform that I'm pushing it on, partly because it's the one that I'm most comfortable with, most familiar with, and partly because it's a trade book. So aiming for a business audience is not a bad thing for me. But I also think that I shouldn't limit myself to that. So my next adventure is to figure out how to make better use of Twitter and Instagram and Facebook. The idea is not to do it all myself, to sort of start some sparks going and hopefully have people share it and promote it from there, because that's how things go viral. And that's what I want. So I like it. I like the honesty of that. Hey, everyone. Thanks for checking out that clip. If you enjoyed it, be sure to hit the like button down below.

Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's CaseWraiths.com. Remember back on Sunday when we did that synergy pack? Break number one, that was a filler break for the Hit Parade hockey. We ended up pulling this mystery redemption, not an autograph, doesn't say autograph here, but it's the 2020 synergy, blah, blah, blah, mystery rookie redemption red rookie short print. So if we go to the cardboardconnection.com checklist, there's the base mystery rookie redemption red checklist. All the other sets are autographs right here, but the red checklist involves Alexander Romanoff for the Canadians, Kareel Kaprizov for the Wild and Dylan Cousins for the Buffalo Sabres. We were originally, I said in the video, we were originally gonna redeem this and do all that sort of stuff, but then I talked to Nick and the likelihood of us either just completely forgetting about it or losing that card or something like that is pretty great. So I think it's just be easier just to randomize it to one person that has a stake in these teams. So the Sabres, Zachary with the Sabres, Steve Wright with the Wild and Daniel Katz with the Canadians. So name on top, we'll get to that short print. So there's the dice right there and there's Buffalo, Minnesota and Montreal. Let's roll it and randomize it. Snake Eyes, two times, team on top gets it after two. One and two, easy. After two times, goes to Buffalo. So there you go, Zachary H, congrats to you. That's gonna go to the Buffalo Sabres. Thanks everyone for watching. I'll see you next time for the next one, bye-bye.


Hi everyone, welcome back to The Tiny Herd where we talk about everyday pet care for guinea pigs, rabbits, and other small pets. Tonight I am doing some pet chores. We are going to clean cages. You guys have requested me do more of these so I'm going to talk through this cage clean. This is probably going to be a long video. But first I'm going to put all this laundry away and if you don't want to watch me put the laundry away then I will put a time on the screen that you can skip to but I have to do this before I clean cages to make sure that I have everything that I need. So I'm going to do that first and then we're going to get cleaning cages. So like I said, I'm going to talk through this video. I don't really have a whole ton to talk about really so I'm just going to keep talking and hopefully come up with some topics that we can talk about. I am going to have to go through this closet soon because I have I think four potentially five new cage sets that I'm making for different things and I'm not going to have enough space but I think what will help a lot, hi Andy, is I'm going to take all the Christmas stuff out and put them in like a separate area so that they're not taking up so much room in here. The only reason I have them in here is because I don't have enough fleece in general that's not Christmas to fill cages all the time. So like I use this all the time these two all the time and these are technically Christmas. So once I have more sets I can put the Christmas away like those are Christmas. I use those all the time so then I can have some not Christmas themes that I do on a more regular basis. So hopefully I will get to do that soon but I have been sewing a lot lately because I'm doing a series that I told you guys about before. I'm doing a series in August showing you guys step by step how to make cage liners. I've done a video on that before but it was like more of an overview. It was during Vlogmas last year. I'll link it in case you want to watch it but it definitely tells you how to do it but I wanted to go step by step because I get a lot of questions on that video. So it's going to be five parts. It's going to be a month long five part series so hopefully it's a lot more helpful. And if you don't care about that those videos will be up on Tuesday and then normal videos will be up on Fridays. So you don't have to worry if you don't care about that. You will still get some regular content. Hello Andy. He likes to help when I clean cages and I think he knows it's coming. So I put all this stuff away so that I know that I have the fleece that I want when I'm cleaning cages. I haven't made them new fleece in a couple of years probably. Um I don't really like making fleece. I say that. I didn't like it in the past but I've done a lot a lot more sewing than when I started making liners. So I'm a lot more patient now and a lot more practiced when it comes to sewing. So I like it a lot more now than I used to. And I'm thinking that I'm going to start offering custom orders for cage sets. I don't know if I'll have a lot of like pre-made sets on Etsy. So basically what I'm thinking is I'm going to um like have a system set up where I have my prices listed and you basically message me on Instagram or Etsy or whatever and tell me what you want based on my like price list. And then we will pick fleece because I I don't really want to like have fleece on hand because it's kind of expensive and if it doesn't sell then I'm just stuck with it. So to get started what I would rather do is like work with you so you get exactly what fleece you want.  So I'm thinking I'm going to do it that way instead of having like preset things that I make and then I am probably going to make some pre-made items and list them in my shop. Like I'm going to start making some extra cubes and list those. I was planning on doing that anyway so I'll probably have like potty pads and lap pads and probably some fleece forests and some cubes. So I am planning on doing that but I think I'm going to start offering the cage liners also because you guys ask me about them all the time and they're really not that hard for me to make because I've done it so many times now. So if you guys want to order from me definitely let me know and I will let you guys know I might have posted custom things for sale by the time this video goes up because I'm not absolutely sure when it's gonna go up. So you might have already been able to do a custom order but I just wanted to let you guys know about that. Somebody did point out that I've gotten a lot of new subscribers lately and you guys don't know everyone's names. So I probably am not gonna do a meet my pets video anytime soon. Where is my brush? Because those are honestly really hard to film and I plan my videos out like a couple months ahead of time. I don't film them necessarily then but I like have a plan and I don't really like to change my plan unless I have to. So I'll do a meet my pets at some point but not in the near future so in this video I'm going to tell you guys who everyone is. So this cage here has Georgie and Jelly Bean. That is Jelly Bean right there and then that's little Georgie. They're the boys. I've had Georgie for three years now so I think he's four or five. I believe I don't have another pad to go with this. It's fine. Sometimes I'm picky about my cages. Sometimes I'm not. We're gonna do blue this time. So I've had Georgie for like three years. I got him from the Humane Society. Hi he was with his buddy Freddie so it used to be Fred and George and they looked very similar which is why they had those names from Harry Potter and sadly Freddie passed away two years ago. It'll be two years ago in October I think. So he was alone. Georgie was alone for about a year because sorry I thought I was gonna sneeze because we couldn't really find the right pig. Well for a while I couldn't find any male pigs at all. This is like shrunk. That bothers me. It's the U-Haul that shrinks by the way. If you have liners and they're shrinking it's the actual U-Haul inside so if you do this it'll stretch your liner back out.  Don't rip the stitches or anything but that's how you pull your liner back out and then it's a little bit wider that it fits the way it's supposed to fit. I'm gonna be redoing all these cages soon. This video is already all over the place. So about Georgie I couldn't really find a male pig. I couldn't really find a pig that I felt like would be good with him because he's like he's not dominant but he's not really like submissive either so I wasn't really sure who to put him with and then I ended up being sent a Facebook group like marketplace posting. It wasn't really marketplace but like somebody posted to re-home jelly bean on Facebook in my hometown actually and he was being re-homed because his friends that he had lived with had passed away. So I decided to give him a try and it worked out really well. They get along pretty well now. They do argue but that's pretty normal male piggy behavior but they get along really well overall. Oh you're so tubby I can't move it. You're so tubby I can't move it. Get on the fleece Georgie. Get on the fleece goofball. These forests all laid out. Okay and I need let's use this green. Watch this not fit. Okay it does fit. All right so we're just to mix the colors this week which is fine. So I'm gonna use this. I'm gonna use this. All right let's get back on track. What was I talking about? So Georgie and Jellybean are doing great together. That's what I was talking about. I want to redo these cages soon. If you can tell this one has another pad because it slopes down because I haven't put plastic in them like they're just they're just like pieced together behave. I made it more mad. Sorry didn't mean to.  So I want to get them new plastic and I want to rebuild their grids because they're just like kind of a mess and it kind of bothers me. Just want them to look like nice and clean and in uniform and right now they do not. They're just kind of a mess. I want the grids to be the same size. I don't necessarily want to use the connectors either. Like I think Andy I think I'm gonna switch them to connecting all the grids with zip ties which does make the cage a little bit smaller but they're all in two by fives which is already bigger than the minimum for two pigs so it doesn't really matter and these girls for example don't even use half their cage. These are my senior girls Callie and Lily. They are both six right 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. Yeah they're both six. Callie is one of my original two pigs I got after I had my own apartment and got my first pets on my own. I got her and Belle together. Belle Pig passed away earlier this year in April but she had a good long life. She ended up with a bladder stone and then she was starting to get bumblefoot and she had arthritis. She just was an old girl so she lived a good life though. So these are the two senior ladies and they are both doing really well. They've definitely slowed down. They spend a lot of their time sleeping. They don't necessarily get as riled up as everyone else does but they still get excited for food. They still weep. They still want to come out and see what's going on. See what everyone's doing so they're doing really well. Knock on wood neither of them have any health issues at the moment so they're doing good. They just don't really use half their cage which is fine because that makes it easy to clean. So to tell you a little bit about them like I said Callie was one of my original two and that was before I knew that you could like adopt guinea pigs or that like rescuing was a thing for small pets. No go back please. So I actually got her and Belle from Petco which I do not recommend doing now. I don't shop at any pet store that sells animals. So that's just a side note. I'm going to do a video about that at some point too. I'm not telling anybody that they shouldn't be shopping wherever they want to shop but my personal choice is I don't shop anywhere that sells animals especially if they don't take care of them well. If there was a pet store near me that took care of their animals well then maybe I would shop there but there's not. I was all excited when a new one was coming into our town because I thought it was going to be good because I was thinking you know oh independent pet store it's going to be great. Yeah no they're they're one of the biggest problems in our area for rabbit overpopulation because they don't give anyone proper information. So there's just my little rant. I'll stop. I'll stop on my soap box there but I don't get my animals from the pet store anymore and I got Lily from the Maine Society. She actually was part of a rescue that a box of 13 guinea pigs had been dumped in like a dry riverbed so I actually adopted her and what I believe was one of her babies.  I had Belle, Callie, Lily and Luna which was the sign up here. They were my original four. I had just the four for a long time because I lived in apartments so probably for until 2018 I had the four girls and that was the whole Tiny Herd. That's actually when I started my YouTube channel. So we go back. Hi the bunnies are helping by poking my leg and I do a couple people always ask. I do wipe down their cage. I just usually don't do it in the videos when I'm filming because it adds a bunch of extra time to the videos. So when I clean their cage next time I will wipe that down but it's not too dirty right now so that's not a big deal. Use this guinea pig fleece that I don't use very often. I have fleece to make liners out of this. I've just never done it so I should add that to my list too. I think it's even already cut out. Okay so that is the senior girls cage. What am I doing? I'll put this here. Put their bed. I do sell these name tags in my Etsy shop. I really like how these came out. They look cute on their bed so I'll be linked down below. Their cage is all done though.  This is the little babes cage. It's what I call them because when I got them they were pretty much babies. They are no longer babies. They are two years old I believe. I've had them. I've had them for about a year so they're probably right around two years old. Maybe not quite. I'll have to figure that out sometime actually. I'm not quite sure how old they are. But they're definitely my youngest pigs because they were babies when I got them two years ago.  So these are my Texels. I love Texel guinea pigs. I think they're so cute. I've always wanted some but like I said I don't buy from pet stores. I don't really get from breeders just because there's no breeders around me that are decent. There are another parts of the country for sure but not really where I live. And I think there's somebody backyard breeding Texels around me because they're starting to crop up in animal shelters because I've seen multiple people rehoming them on Facebook. And then these two were left at the shelter when they were like I don't know. They said they were eight to nine months old when I got them but I disagree. I think they were more like four or five months old. They were pretty small. They didn't even have long hair yet. Like you could tell they were Texels for sure. They were curly but they did not have their long long floofy locks they have now. And I haven't even told you guys these guys names. So I call them the little babes but their actual names are Johnny and June. It is a boy and girl pair. Johnny is neutered. He was neutered when I got him. So they were bonded. He was neutered and they were bonded before I got them from the shelter. And June actually is partially spayed. So she also can't have babies and when I say partially spayed I probably should do a video on that sometime. But she had ovarian cysts and she also had an infection in her uterus. When they went to do the cyst surgery they found that and because of her size and the placement of her bladder they were not able to take out her uterus. So she does still have her uterus but she doesn't have her ovaries. She doesn't have the cysts anymore. Sometime I gotta get that back there. That really drives me nuts when there's hay stuck all back there. And I am actually gonna clean this up because there's quite a bit of pee in this corner. I'm not really sure how they did that. Somebody must have got under a liner at some point. I don't have a ton to talk about. I feel like I've done a good job so far. Hi babe. So that is all the pets or all the guinea pigs rather. I do also have the bunnies. They're both right here. Andy is the fluffy one and Mikey is the one with the black ears and the nose. I am doing a video. It's probably already up by the time you're seeing this but yes he does have a head tilt. I get probably at least one to two comments every single day on videos asking why he has a head tilt. He does have a tilt. It is permanent. He's perfectly happy and healthy so no worries there. He's just a tilty bunny. And if that video is already up I'll link it down below. Other than that we do have 13 animals. So other than the six guinea pigs and the two rabbits we also have a beta fish named Arthur and then we have a dog who is very old and very elderly I should say. He's blind and deaf. He has a really hard time getting around. He has arthritis so we're doing the best we can with him at the moment. We do have a dog and then we have a mouse named Snickers.  She does live alone which is because she is over two and a half. She has a really hard time getting around. She's very frail. She pretty much only comes out to eat and get food. That's what I just said.  So she'll come out and interact with him other than that she pretty much sleeps which is why she's alone. She's too frail to introduce anyone at this point and then we do have two rats that we just got whose names are Ollie and Noodle which that's been a lot of fun. So that is all of the animals that we currently have. All 13 of them. I'm going to give them this house back. It's going to need wash next time but it's not too bad at the moment. All right so that's everyone clean. All right so that is all of the cages clean. What I'm going to do next is clean up the bunnies area, change their liner, clean their litter box, vacuum the floor and then I will get everybody hay and water and we will be done for the evening but I'm not going to show you guys that with the GoPro on because you would probably be motion sick. So thank you guys for watching. If you like these videos please give this a thumbs up so I know to keep making them and subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. I make new videos every Tuesday and Friday but I will see you guys in my next video. Bye.


In this video, I will tell you why you have learned Arabic language, yet you don't understand the scholarly works, the books of the scholars of the Ulema, Ibn al-Qayyim, and Sheikh An-Islam, etc, etc, amongst the salafi and amongst many of the scholarly books. Salaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi shabrata Muhammad al-Andalusi, founder of Andalusi Institute.com. The other day, I posted on my Instagram, which by the way, follow me around here, I posted, asked me a question, little poll, and somebody said, please advise, I learned the book of the Medina books and studied this, studied that, but still can't understand Ibn al-Qayyim's books. And I didn't respond, I didn't have time, so if the brother or sister is watching this, I apologize in advance, or actually not in advance, I apologize late. But yeah, I thought that because of the importance of the subject, I would just make a YouTube video about it. Now, this is very simple to understand. What happens is that if you are not educated in a particular field, if you read about that field, even if you are fluent in the language of that particular field, or the thing that you are reading about, you still won't understand the subject you are reading. So it happens the same to students who learn the Arabic language, or go over the Medina books, or Al-Arabi ibn Adiq, whatever it might be. And as a side note, I want to remind you that going over the Medina books, going over Al-Arabi ibn Adiq, it doesn't mean you have to learn the Arabic language. It is a good, very solid start, depending on how the teacher is teaching you as well, but you shouldn't consider that as my Arabic studies are done here. I can jump into the next thing. What I'm trying to say with this is that even though it's a good foundation, it doesn't make sense that you then go to, for example, a book of ibn al-Qayyim in a particular field, whether it's fiqh, whatever field that you haven't studied, the small mutun, the small foundational books that the ulama had written for the students to slowly and gradually get educated in that particular field. First, if you haven't gone over those books, then you definitely won't understand those particular subjects.  Like, for example, they might read in the Qur'an, and we have descended the Qur'an. And they might say, you see, this muta'ara, this contradictory to what Allah says in Qur'an, I am the only one. How can you say we? Then that means that you're giving credit to the trinity of the Christians. No, no, no, calm down. You first need to understand that in the Arabic language, inna, and referring to yourself as a group, there are two types of plurals. There is the plural of numbers and the plural of respects, such as many different other languages, like French. You say, como tale vous, even though you speak into one person, but vous refers to you as in group of people. So what I'm trying to say is that you will want to understand one subject, or you will think that you understand one subject. But there is all of these other little fields and all of these other little points that you need to understand in order for you to understand this main point. The same happens when you finish learning the Arabic language.  Or Ibn Qayyim's words, Sheikh Ali Sermit, they will talk about, it's not that you don't know Arabic. It's not that you're not strong in Arabic. It's that you are not educated in that field yet. You are not educated enough in that field so you don't understand. And it might be as well that your Arabic is weak. It might be that as well, but many times it happens that you, not only you are weak in the Arabic language, but at the same time you are not strong and you are not educated in that particular field you are reading about. And to conclude this video, I will give you guys an example. As you can see on screen right now, this text says, abstract. The size grain hypothesis predicts that environmental rugosity results in positive allometric scaling of leg length on body length because of changes in locomotion costs. The scaling of leg length and body length in ants was examined using phylogenetic independent contrast method. You guys get the point. We are reading something that we don't know is in English. And most of you guys who are watching this are fluent in your native language is the English language. But we are reading this and we are not educated in the subject of this particular text. Therefore, we don't understand what the text is talking about. Just because it's not the language barrier here, but it's the subject barrier. We are not educated in the particular subject if that makes sense. So don't get frustrated if you don't understand the works, the scholarly works yet. Rather, start by the little books to instruct yourself and to educate yourself in the Deen of al-Islam. Everything needs to be gradual. Start with the small books. And if you are wondering right now, what are the small books? Just look online very simply. Look for example, the advice of Sheikh Al-Hathaymin about this particular field. What books to learn in this particular field to understand? What are the books to learn to understand about usul al-Fiqh? What are the books to learn to understand about mustahlah al-Hadith? What are the books to learn to understand about usul al-Tafsil, etc., with all the different fields of Islamic sciences? And that will give you an understanding of the scholarly works later on. And whoever tries to acquire the knowledge all at once, it will definitely leave him all at once. May Allah be pleased with him and his companions. I'll see you guys on the next one. Let me know in the comments what you guys thought. Assalamu alaikum.
