Next up is Hector and Dieter. We're going to talk about the birth of HPC in Cuba. Good morning. My name is Hector, and I'm happy to be here to tell you what we are doing for making HPC service available for Cuban scientists. The lowest you can see are institutions that are supporting our projects. The BRID U.S. that is the Flemish University Council. Also, BRID.CU is a collaboration on projects with Flemish University and six Cuban universities, where three of them are very involved in this project that we called HPC Cuba. We want to make HPC service available for all Cuban scientists, so our mission is to provide centralized access to HPC infrastructure, also to offer training to our HPC staff, and also to support our users belonging to the higher education system, and also to our research institution in Cuba. The HPC Cuba project that we can also call Cuba Center for Academic Supercomputing, it was sold with a roughly distribution of the HPC infrastructure in three main points in Havana, Santa Clara, and Santiago de Cuba. In three universities, the University of Informary Science in Havana, the Central University of Las Pillas in Santa Clara, and University of Oriente in Santiago de Cuba. Some facts about Cuba. So Cuba is the biggest island, the Caribbean. Also with the tropical climates, it's a tourist destination. Also, our high education standard is true. So we are friendly people. So Cuba is also a safe place in America. But we are still living on the USA embargo. So it costs also limitation, like the ban, which also resists access to the information and internet, because some sites are broken, our QIPs. So also the access to the infrastructure become problematic sometimes. An important remark, it's the Americans blocking their sites for Cuban access. It's not the Cuban government blocking the access for the Cuban population. Many people think it's the other way around. Thank you for the clarification on that. This is Cuba. We are very close to USA in Florida. So you can find us, the map. OK, this pro idea is starting in 2015. When we start two small HPC clusters. One in Santa Clara, UCRB, and the other one in Oriente University in the eastern part of the country. But our goal is to provide access to the whole country. Now it's starting a new one in Havana in the University of Informatics Science. Maybe you have heard about the Linus-Nova distribution that was developed there. But also in Cuba, you can take a walk, ride in nights or cars. And I enjoyed the Marcon during the evening. So in Santa Clara, you can find the Center University of Latvia with a very nice university campus in a very natural environment with a lot of streets. Also, you can find beautiful beaches in the north coast of the province, so in Cayo Santa Maria, where we have heard many workshops regarding ICT. In Oriente, it's also a nice place with very friendly people. Our vengeance, merchants, become Cubans so immediately. So it's difficult to recognize, to deter, but maybe because he is taller than Cubans. So highlighted in red, the HPC cluster in University of Oriente. Also in the University of Las Villas. What we are doing right now, so our plan now, immediately for 2017, is to insert two IBM clusters with the capacity of about 600 cores and one terabyte of run in Havana and Santa Clara. Also in Santa Clara, a big data cluster with 20 servers and two NVIDIA GPU cards. In Oriente University, a cluster with similar capacity but using infinite band technology for the interconnectivity. So that is what we are talking about. So one of these in Oriente was already a start, where either Joe or other specialists are working hard to make this possible. So it is our goal for this year. So maybe you can remark here that the hardware is donated by Gent University. It's impossible for CUMU universities to buy IBM or Dell or HP hardware. It's illegal for Dell to export to Cuba. If a Dell salesperson sells to CUMU university, you lose this job. But thanks to collaboration with the Flemish universities, we've been able to establish some infrastructure in Cuba. So everything we are using is free software. So far, we have Debian as operating system that using Torqued, PBS, and Maui for managing keywords and jobs. Also, it's in Gangnam for monitoring purposes. But we are exploring a new alternative for the new implementation, maybe using Centov and Slur, and maybe Oresing. So that is what we are thinking about. We are exploring to do that. We have offered web portals to support users. So this is another example in the University of Oriente. Also, a wiki, I'm sorry for the language, it's called it for Cuban users. Also, building different ways to access to the cluster for monitoring purposes. For example, you can access using SSH for look, the Cuban state. You can do that. Also, using the web interface. The same for the job states. It's more comfortable for non-IT user to use the web access. And also, you are creating some templates for script tools submitting jobs. In the web, via web also, it's possible. So now we can see how many institutions in Cuba are using our HPC facilities. And also, you can find a user from BUB. So I have no idea what he's doing in our cluster, but he's here. Also, people from Brazil, from Brazilian University, because you are helping often. We are helping Brazilian guys. So we are happy with that. With the users, it's a lot of Cuban universities in different provinces. So let me to remark, there are a lot of universities in Cuba. That's a lot of very small universities. Almost every little town has its own university. So we have infrastructure in the three main, the biggest, the three main universities of the island. And as you can see, the infrastructure is working well already on a high level, using nothing but free and open source solutions. And all kinds of institutions and research institutes are using already our infrastructure. And that's what this graph shows. OK. So some samples of scientific results in Cuba using our HPC, for example, for video encoding in the Cuba digital television broadcasting, for example. Also, for sign up processing users, there are networks for health applications, also for the environment, also for the chemistry applications where they couldn't do the job with a very good laptop with 16-year-round. It was not possible, but in our close to the Oriental University, in 15 minutes, it will solve. So other scientific papers. So it's just to have an idea that our scientists in Cuba are using what we are doing. So now we have a national strategy that includes capacity building. So it will be important for us to train our HPC staff developing training or workshops. It could be in Cuba or in Belgium. Also, supporting the users and establishment of synergies with our institution. So this is our national strategy. This is our first workshop in Santa Clara with the participation of a HPC expert from University who was sponsored by Blear. So we can see. Alvaro, you can see him here. So Alvaro is here. Everybody's experience of working with Cuba. So Alvaro could be a very good reference of Cuba or a job. Also, Rudi is here and Dieter, of course. But also some people from Ecuador and Peru were trained because it had regional impacts also. And of course, for our national strategy, we have to face some drawbacks. For example, the ban wish also the access policy because sometimes the SSH ports are broken. When you go from another institution to another, so we have to face that or some block house that we have. And of course, the USA trade embargo is still present. And nobody knows what we're trying to do in the future regarding Cuba. So we have to see. But now we are focused and to develop centralized authentication system with a national front end. Also, to improve our rates, our storage capacity, train our people, and make easier the user's installation by using some facilities that we will show now. This is our user management approach with national front end, with centralized authentication with redundancy, also the login notes that are connected to the head of the cluster, also access to the scratch user infinity ban and to the home of the user or the data user. So it's like that. So actually, the infrastructure is working at the separate universities and what you're working on now is like a layer on top of that, the national user accounts. So if you have a user account for HPC Cuba at your home university, you can access infrastructure at another university. Also, for making easier the installation for users, we are trying to use easy-read, where we can say that we already have a Cuban contribution to the easy-read community developing the jades. For example, I know that Kenneth has been our guide and also a supervisor of our developers. So we are also working, helping something with the clip or open forum. So maybe Kenneth can explain much more. OK, so it's a sample of the jade installation developed for our staff in Cuba. So guys, we need a HPC expert like you to join us in this trip to make it possible. So thank you very much for your attention. Thank you, Hector, and Peter. Questions? You said you've got an Harlem process. How many calls per subject? And the Harlem, how about six? If you've got any questions, repeat the question. Well, the hardware we're using is a game. I was going to say, you shouldn't look at that as less a generation. Those processes were very efficient for HPC code. Today, even people of procuring systems were getting 10, 12 code processes until pushed onto us. And there really aren't all that efficient. You can memory band with problems. And you should do some work on how efficient those processes are, maybe versus one with more broadband generation. Well, you see, actually, we're using the hardware that we can get our hands on. We don't really have the liberty to choose the hardware. We're just happy to receive these. These were good clusters working very well at Gent University. They were decommissioned for all kinds of reasons. And instead of showing them into the furnace, we decided to export them to Cuba and donate them to Cuba University. If you have another cluster available for us, please help us. So just wondering, where can we find more information about the ongoing projects that you're asking for HPC experts to get involved? What are the opportunities available? Where can we find more information? Please send us an email so we have your email. And then we can see. Box. Yes. In the future, we are always organizing trainings. Cubans are coming to Belgium. See, actually, it's here right now. We are sending experts to Cuba every time we have funds. We get funding from the Flemish Inter-University Council. And the deal is basically that it's volunteer work. But you get your ticket paid, your hotel service paid, you get a per diem. And what we see is people go there, and then they stay for an extra week, extra two weeks to go on holiday. And it's just fine. We are right now applying for a call. So we can promise anything. But maybe for the next three years, we can have some budgets supporting our projects. So we need some Europe experts to support us, to teaching our staff. So our staff can come here, and our trainers can go to Cuba also. So the question is about the electricity. Do we use UPS, or do we generate our own electricity? Well, the experience is that the electricity in Cuba is unstable. It's very normal to have small outages. We use UPS mostly to stabilize the mains current. And we have generators also. But outages are quite common. So we use UPS, also some inverters with batteries. It's not as sad to UPS. Of course, also generators. You should get your hands on hardware, because everything will move the energy control by the US in cargo. And you look into open hardware solutions, for now there are some major integrations, for instance, by integrating our processors. So that's a field that is a bit less controlled by the US. And actually, it's something that you see as a possibility. Or also, economically, it might be also difficult to have funding for collecting new hardware. Yes. So the question is, maybe we should focus on open hardware or open DC infrastructure instead of looking for US hardware providers. Yeah, maybe we can look into it. But for right now, I think financially, it would be very difficult for us to start building or to start looking in that direction. From up until now, we've depended on free hardware. Free is always cheaper than maybe open can be. Yes? The HPC will be used only for scientific research or also for public services in the future. OK, it could be used for anybody. So we are focused mainly now in this first step in scientific community, because the people that have more needs about HPC. But for one of the samples that I showed regarding to the video encoding for the national Cuban digital television broadcasting, it's not for scientific purposes. It's just for storage the materials in the format that they need, also for broadcasting to the Cuban people. Any more questions? Thank you. If not, thanks again to the human community.


What's up everybody? Welcome back to my channel. I'm Ricky crew today. We're doing live calls once again I got Joe Rosen with me from down St. Port Lucy, Florida. What's up, Joe? Hey, what's going on a man? You ready to do this man?  I want to tell everybody Um Like basically give me give me the 30 seconds story 30 seconds not low long I just want to hear 30 seconds like you were in real estate before you got out You're in the service and now you're back and you've been kind of planted in St. Port Lucy because that's where your wife wanted to be and now you're brand new again Kind of started from nowhere. You've been following me for like three months Yeah, all zero to diamond and you basically got to st. Port Lucy like a week or two ago Yeah, I was like 15 days ago, man Okay, give me the like 30 second like clip notes of what happened Yeah, I mean, that's pretty much it. I worked in a place called the Dino Realty up in Minnesota And I worked for five years did really well, but you know, I was a little inconsistent. I was a kid I was younger so I joined the army for that exact reason got the discipline I was looking for put 10 years in Just got out. I'm actually still active duty, but I'm on my terminal leave and uh, I've been working on this for 18 months And part of that 18 months is you my man and I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the help you give it So you found me where? I think if I remember right, it was somebody on instagram, uh It's more just my brandy. She is a lender in florida and she said man You know who you remind me of is ricky cruz man He's always talking about this and this and this and it kind of lines up So she told me about you and I started following you and I watched it all now Nice. Nice. So you're following 90 day action plan Yeah, with the the 60 day videos you got going out there, which are great Right, right, and then you are uh You're met you're doing your three by three or what you're calling schedule schedule right now Yeah, so three by three is kind of a minimum. I've been trying to go as many as I can And I mean it's only week two But I'm trying to get I mean my my end goal is to get to a thousand calls a week between The geo leads and the expires and then Leads man, you can pay more and get more leads Right, right, right. Okay guys, so st. Port Lucy is in florida. It's right north of uh, fort lauderdale It's north of west palm beach by about an hour. It's port st Lucy, but yeah, and it's north of uh, miami like maybe an hour 45 minutes Got it. Got it. So you don't know anyone there You're just starting from scratch and today we're going to be circle prospecting Yes, I would like to say just 10 seconds. You gave me a facebook strategy I thank you about the furthest before but I've sent friend requests to about 3,000 maybe 3,500 people in this area and I've picked up about 1200-1,300 new friends I got them over to my facebook page and I've made way more than all that is the great interactions and just the back and forth I've got a copy or and the launch every single day for like the next three weeks booked out man And that's all because of you. I appreciate it So you took my facebook strategy you started making friends with people on facebook in st. Port Lucy before you even move down there Yeah, and they they made friends with you and then you kind of started interacting and engaging with them And you and you've been setting up coffees and lunch appointments with these people Yeah, and they've been so helpful and so like the people here is so warm and welcoming And when you sit down with them, I'm genuinely interested in how I help them with their business You know, I think that's the best way to network forget your realtor. How can I help you? And if you just have that mindset it comes back 10 fold, you know, right? Okay, so you've been there two weeks before we get started making calls I just want to get everything out there in the open. So you've been there two weeks. Have you landed a listing? Have you showed any property? Have you you have any business like? Solid business in the pipeline yet I've literally had one listing appointment. It was last weekend and it was a referral from a gal on Uh instagram, but other than that. No, I've got a whole bunch of future business Because of the circle prospecting, but it just you know, it takes time to catch up on that Absolutely. All right. Well, let's go man. Let's crank that dialer up and get it going All right While he's doing that guys by the way, I have never heard this guy make calls. We haven't even role played So I have no idea what I'm walking into here What's the price range of properties you're calling Range there's a couple neighborhoods right next to each other. Oh no, come on man. I I missed that it was kind of uh There's a couple neighborhoods right next to each other But most of it is that probably two to 275 range and then there's a couple right next to it that are like 350 to 400 Got it. Got it. All right. Cool Well, I'm excited to hear hear what you got ma'am I'm having a little trouble with the Wi-Fi for the phone But let me try to get here. It did make the call Come on, baby.  So Okay Can you hear that? Yeah Okay Does it does it do the dialing like do you hear it dialing? Yeah, it's going right now Okay. Hey ma'am Hey, this is Joe Rosen with keller-williams. Can you hear me ma'am? I'm awesome Yeah, all right, cool I don't want to waste your time, but I'm just calling because there was a home in your neighborhood at 4067 winslow street that just sold. I'm just calling to see if there's anything in the world I could do for you All right. Well, I appreciate it. Thank you ma'am All right, have a good one All right, man yes I love this Some builders gonna need a reel to bring it on. Hey, you know what you could have done right then What's that? Normally the agents that work for builders can't sell outside of the development You could have worked with her as a network agent to List properties that people that are buying in that neighborhood might need to sell a house and she can't list it I like that. Hey, mr. Sandoval Hey, this is Joe Rosen with yeah, this is Joe Rosen with keller-williams. How are you? Well, hey, I don't want to waste your time But there was a home in your neighborhood just around the corner at 4067 winslow street And I see that it just sold. I'm calling to see if there's anything in the world I could do for you Uh, it's sold for $2.295 Okay. Well, let me ask you if you were to buy our cell. Is there a realtor you work with? No Yeah All right. Have a good day Pretty good. You know why you lost him? Why talking too slow I'm okay Like it's not you're like when you're talking you're not talking too slow, but you're taking too long to start saying something You know I'm saying Okay, and your tone is a little off and you're saying the address of the house Yeah And when you say the address of the house It's like you're talking for a long time because you put that in there and now they're saying oh god This guy's just going to talk my head off. I got to get off the phone as quick as I can You know I'm saying yeah, so you're saying just say hey, there's a home around the corner of that soul Yes Okay, if you want if you want to say a house a house around the corner on Winslow street sold You know, I didn't know if there's anything I could do for you Then that's fine, but don't say that house number and all that and plus you're spacing The this house sold and what can I do for you? It should all flow as one sentence as almost like one sentence So that you're you know, you got to respect their time Okay, I feel like you're trying to hurry up to get off the phone too You know what I mean because if you make them feel like you're trying to hurry up to get off the phone Then they're going to be more apt to talk to you because You know, okay, let's get to the point. Yeah, I want to hear what you got to say But let's get to the point kind of thing.  Am I ready? I'm ready, baby All right, here we go You guys hit that thumbs up button for joe, man. He's putting himself out there for you You gotta Am I leaving messages or you want me to hang up? You can leave you can leave one just to see how you leave it No That one did not have a voicemail box. Hey, can you can you cancel the uh Cancel the or start over and call that builder agent back Like just scroll up to it and then just dial it on your phone How do I find that? Do I go to list view? Yeah Don't put thumbs up in the comments guys hit the thumbs up under the video Oh man, I don't know if I know how to You should be able to go to your list and it should be at the top, huh? You started at the top It was the first lady Well, I'm in the middle of a campaign. So I just started that campaign Okay, well if you can't find it then go back to the calls I figured you could I figured we could just get right but I'd love for you to call her back Man, I want to do to now But you you know like like Agents that are exclusive to certain neighborhoods. They can't sell out of the neighborhood Yeah Have to have all kinds of referrals and like need an agent that will work with them on referrals for stuff outside of the neighborhood, you know Yep All right, I had to restart it here one second. All right now we're cooking Boom and this gets me excited dude This is what it's all about right here It's the blood pumping dude. It's it's addicting Making calls are addicting Like watching those numbers go up. Yeah, I love that. I love hearing the diet. I love hearing the dial Hey, this is Joe Rosen with keller williams and I'm just calling because there's a home in your neighborhood that just sold And I'm calling to see if there's anything in the world I could do for you Feel free to call me back at<PHONE_NUMBER>. I appreciate it. Have a great thursday Hey, um You know, like Like if the like if the builder agent has a buyer that couldn't get approved, you know, they need a lower price range I mean, there's all kinds of scenarios man, you know Yes, you might even want to start cold calling builders agents Have you done that before I like that? I've never done it But it's something you should do like look on mls under the builders and call out for agents and say, hey Can I take you to lunch? And then have lunch with them and tell them to And say, hey, do you have do you have an agent that you refer stuff to our First you need to ask them if they're exclusive to that neighborhood or can they sell outside the neighborhood? And if not say do you have an agent you work with on referrals of people who can't get approved for the neighborhood Or people who want to move in there but need to sell another house first or your friends and family Or whatever if they can't sell anywhere else. They can't sell anywhere else and it could be an opportunity for someone to You know to pick up some referrals a good bit of referrals. Yeah, I love that idea man. That's a good idea. I'm gonna do that All right, here we go I'm full of them bro I know you are I like to think outside the box, you know Hey, this is Joe Rosen with keller williams and I see that there's a home that just sold in your neighborhood And i'm calling to see if there's anything in the world I could do for you Feel free to call me back at<PHONE_NUMBER>. I appreciate it. Have a great thursday All right, now we're just we left that one You know how your voicemail sounds now, we're just kind of skip them Yeah, then you can come back to those calls when we're not live that way we try to get to live people on the phone No problem So so builders don't have exclusives here is that a normal theme a broker did 90 unit development Just sold all their homes or took them to another place yet It's not every single one of them, but some are some aren't you know what I mean? So i'm just saying at least figure out if they aren't or aren't and see if there's an opportunity I'm not saying, you know, i'm not saying there is or isn't i'm just saying check it out I love that idea. There's definitely some here Hey, mr. Pinto No, do one talk For some reason man, you're like saying hello There's too much time between them answering and you saying hello So the reason I do that is if I say it right away I think there's a gap on the front of this because they never ever ever hear me And then you've got that awkward like what did you say? Who is this? So if I wait a second, they'll they hear me a lot more often. Do you know what i'm talking about? Yeah Yeah, well, you know, I use a single line dialer Yeah, so I made the mistake of paying for a full year of the triple line dialer And they won't let me out of that I'll call them Appreciate it Oh, this is the builder right here Hey, this is joe rosin with keller williams. How you doing? This is joe rosin with keller williams Yes, I'm actually All right. Hey joe Yeah, you got to say this is joe rosin at keller williams. How you doing? This is joe rosin with keller williams. How you doing today?  They're like, hello Like just answer normal a couple times. Let's see what happens. Okay. Oh fax machine. Hey guys, if if you're watching If you're watching this and you're and you're looking for the 90 day action plan That's it That's it. That's a zero two diamond.com. Okay, diamond.com And you just go there start the action plan. It's totally free And everything is there get back with me with questions if you have questions. Just hit me up on instagram You know, um email me a comment here Whatever and I'll uh, I'll help you in any way that I possibly can Also, if you're if you're close to washington dc I'm going to speak at an event there. Um ryan sir heart is going to be the keynote speaker Um, so also also billy gene is marketing Billy gene supposed to be there as well. It's going to be a really big event. It's going to be real estate geared towards real estate so, um Real looking forward to that that's going to be november 11th and 12th um also dallas September 19th through the 21st. I'll be in dallas at the wgr summits um danie maryll colton lindsay joshua smith Looking forward to that as well i'm actually putting together a Uh, a really nice event in birmingham with coach michael burr who I had on my program not too long ago Um, it's going to be about creating unlimited listings. It'll be an all-day workshop with me and coach burr Hey lori, hey, this is joe rosen with keller williams. How you doing? Oh, i'm doing great anytime. It's sunny out. I'm doing pretty good. You know what i'm saying After that rainstorm you're gonna take what you can get right? Yeah, well, hey, I don't want to waste your time But there's a home in your neighborhood that just sold and i'm calling to see if there's anything in the world I could do for you. Uh, it was at 40 67 southwest winslow street. You know where winslow street is Yeah, it's just it's about five six streets down from you guys there. You guys are on the klevin, right? Yeah, yeah It is on the west side. I hear you on crazy kid schedules, man. I got two of my own Holy smokes Is there an Okay, well, let me ask you if you were to do something maybe five ten years down the road Is there an agent you'd work with? Yeah, well that Thank you. Yeah, last question. I promise If you were to do something five ten years down the road, would you mind if I stay in contact with you via email? What's your email address map map? I got you. Okay Cool. Well, hey, I really appreciate your time. Thank you so much Yeah, thanks. Have a great day All right, bye now boom boom Come on man. Gotta get excited son So, um, the only thing I'll say great, right? But but try to say, hey, is it okay if I stay in touch with you not via email Okay, and then ask for the email. Yeah, let them commit to staying in touch first And then say cool what's your email address because a lot of time a lot of time that won't work You know I'm saying. Yeah, a lot of time. They're like, oh, wait a minute, you know But if you say, hey, can I stay in touch?  They're not thinking email yet And then they commit and say, yeah, yeah, stay in touch with me and then you're like, okay, cool What's your email? Very nonchalantly That makes sense and and then it's like they committed so now they feel like they're obligated to give you the email You know what I mean? If you connect with them if your tone was right if the speed of your voice was right and all that stuff And I noticed at the beginning of this call That you you you as soon as she answered and you said hello, you said at the right time and everything flowed All right, you know what I mean? Yeah That hesitation thing trying to time it out and see you know what I mean Yeah, man Like it's a normal call because I think that that for some reason I think it's working Cool You ready Yeah Who You Let's do it Hey, mr. Staley Mr. Staley Oh, I got the wrong number. Are you down on savona boulevard and port st lucy? Okay. Well, I got the wrong number. I apologize All right. Have a good one my friend JC. Yeah, um gl leads has a program you can follow up But we just put them in constant contact and send a weekly email Refer to the 90 day action plan on that Man, I've got that rock music in the background. Yeah, not a good decision for this phone call I didn't help It keeps me astute to that mute button. Hey, mr. Morris Mr. Morris I'm looking for taylor morris Hey, say this is joke. Nope. There we go That was like 107. I don't Yeah, he was pretty old Yeah, um There's some people using redx without the dialer 50 50 dollars a month for geo leads for 2000 numbers if you can't afford that something wrong, but 99 dollars for the dialer and it saves you hours of your life Come on Time is money Hey miss golden Grant gets about 20 to 30 more calls in an hour using a 20 to 30 more calls in an hour using the dialer a single dialer Yeah, you can fly through these calls with these dialers. It's a no-brainer once you've done it Sharon, we are using redx to get our numbers I Didn't have time to put anything in the in the description here, but after we go live I'll put everything in the description all the links and everything Yeah, I'm sure somebody says they love the diaper diaper They meant they meant dialer Oh You dialer diaper whatever the only just for neighborhood, uh search. Yes Guys, if you go to if you go to my website zero diamond dot com you save 150 dollars on redx 150 dollars you save at zero to diamond calm It's the best thing that ever happened to real estate agents and then just follow my 90 day action plan It's all set there with the scripts your follow-up process Um everything that I do in my business, right? Yes, you can filter out dnc if you don't call dnc Are you calling dnc joe?  I've got this triple dialer Now I had to hang up once because we were going to look for that builder, but since it's been almost eight It's been almost 18 minutes and this sucker is flowing through 58 calls, man. Wow Yeah 18 minutes That's 28 different leads, but it's calling some of those Multiple times. Yeah, are you able to hear what these guys are saying? Not really it's been kind of quiet Hey miss sulemann Is this miss sulemann? Okay. Are you on janar avenue down in port st. Lucy? Hey, say this is joe rosen with keller williams. I'm calling to see are you on janar avenue in port st. Lucy? Nope, not digging me Didn't sound good That's all right, man Those ones fire me up Oh, baby Hey, is this miss sulemann?

He said i'm doing good I'll take it baby All right, I'm glad this happened while I'm talking to you. So I've got my dollar up One call is excel like it's done another one's excel like it's done. The other one says call back cued But I don't have the resume button. It's not an option every time I get here The only thing I know how to do is to excel and then come back in. That's what I do too All right, let's go ahead. We're we're an hour in let's go ahead and x out of it I gotta write down my numbers, baby. Give me 10 seconds. I'm excited All right, I'm good That didn't even take me 10 seconds. I'm fast. Cool So you've had sessions where you picked up like five emails in 20 minutes Um, I have one session like that, but yeah, right, right, right? You've had a session where I'm not there. That's just how it goes like sometimes you'll pick up 10 in an hour Sometimes you pick up two in an hour. I mean, it's just the way it goes. I mean You know a room wasn't built in the day. I mean if it was I'd have a million subscribers already, you know what I'm saying You're getting there man. I'm so excited for you.  You know what you think when am I going to get to the top? I mean, it's just That's and everybody wants everything right now. They're like, oh you you picked up, you know Four emails in an hour. Well, okay. Well, these emails are people that gave me their emails that that were You know, they they voluntarily gave me their email addresses.  Yeah, exactly. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, this is high quality stuff You know, so you have to think about like what do you want to build your database out of you want?  You never even talked to or do you want? You know 250 people who own the exact type of property you want to sell You know who gave you their email address voice to voice Yeah, which database would you want? You want you want 2000 buyer leads off zillow or facebook?  Yeah, that I already have a relationship with. Yeah, that that gave you their email address said they didn't have another agent They're now getting your weekly email. You know, which database are you would you be more interested in owning? I would be interested in owning just a couple hundred property owners who I've talked to and developing a relationship with You know what I mean? Yeah, and you're still right to that Like right now. Yeah, if I make a hundred calls, it's worth a hundred calls But in six months when I've got 2,000 email addresses in there and I'm only making a hundred calls I'm still leveraging that by sending an email to 2,000 people every single wednesday, man Exactly exactly. It's called it's called efficiency And it's called scalability You know, it's a way it's it's it's there's nothing better Like there's there's not there's not there's nothing better for me as far as efficiency goes Targeting your audience building that brand. The only other thing is is it's like Um, okay now I'm gonna build a custom custom facebook audience to run ads to these people You know what I mean? That that's the only other thing that I want to add to what I'm doing that way I'm hitting them up on social on facebook on instagram on email Yeah, and then an occasional phone call here and there to make sure they're still getting my email And if there's anything I can do for them, you know what I'm saying? Yeah Cool. Cool. You guys give joe hit the thumbs up button for joe.   They're amazing and you don't just know youtube videos They all look great Yeah Well, I've been doing it for like two years, you know and uh, so if you go back to my first videos Which you watched because I've seen you comment on them You can see the difference in quality Over over time and you can see the difference in the enthusiasm and how I'm how I you know articulate what I'm trying to say Everything has gotten a lot better Um, and I you know what I've been doing and it's tough because I'm a full-time agent But what I've been doing is I'll film like five or six videos every saturday You know, I'll film I'll film them then and then I'll you know, I'll just dude. It's a full-time job man I mean it is it's really really really tough. But if you want to win You have to pump the content out. Yeah It has to be good content It has to be consistent content and the more you put out the better you're gonna better you're gonna do You know, so It is it is tough. But I just I can't stop now. You know, like I'm I'm pot committed. You know, I can't Yeah It is I feel the momentum the views on my videos have went up a lot Yeah, you know over the past even over the past week or two You know the views on my channel have went up a lot. So I'm just gonna keep going man. I've been thinking about getting into just the general sales niche You know all the trees but the more I think about it the more I just want to stick to the real estate niche You know, I'm writing a third book which will be about sales in general Yeah, but I'm still gonna you know base my youtube and instagram content around real estate because that's just my bread and butter and that's where You know, that's just where I just feel like I feel like even if I have a following of a hundred thousand Real estate agents that's worth a lot more than a million You know People scattered, you know in different industries. It's more of a targeted niche. So I don't know man. I'm just I'm at the bottom trying to work my way up Man, well, you're at a good bottom I know right. I'm I'm at a starting point. Yeah, you're doing all right. That's what I that's what I that's where I see myself Is like, okay now that now I've got a good baseline, you know, I mean, I've got a good foundation bill now now Okay, let's let's go like now we're let's let's begin Yeah so Well, I'm excited about you man.

Let me get uh Let me get off live and then we'll chat for a second. But guys, thank you so much. I love you so much We will talk to you soon


We've looked at a number of scenarios where a sequence of investments are made at a sequence of times, and there are three variables, the amounts invested, the typing of the investments, and the interest rate. Then we computed several different quantities of interest. The most important is probably the present value, which considers the equivalent single investment made at t equals zero. Another quantity we considered is the equated time, which considers the equivalent time given a single investment. Note that these correspond to either changing the amount of time or the amount of money. We could also look at the interest rate and get the dollar-weighted yield rate, which considers the equivalent interest rate. For example, suppose you invest 1,000 now, 1,000 in a year, and withdraw 2,500 in two years. Let's find the yield rate that allows this. So again, don't memorize formulas, understand concepts. At interest rate i, the amount deposited initially accrues interest for two years and becomes, while the amount deposited in a year only accrues interest for one year to become. So if we assume that the withdrawal closes out the account, we have the equation of equivalent value, and if we set x equal to 1 plus i, this equation becomes an obvious quadratic with solutions, which gives us a dollar-weighted yield rate of about 15.83%. Now while there are many different financial instruments with more being invented all the time, some outcomes might be impossible to obtain. Other outcomes might be achievable through two or more different means, so it's possible for a financial scenario to have no dollar-weighted yield rate or for it to have multiple rates. The only way to determine which case applies is to solve the problem. So for example, suppose you agree to pay 1,000 now and in two years to be able to obtain 1,500 in one year. Find the dollar-weighted yield rate. So assuming the second payment closes out the account, our equation of value will be where x is equal to 1 plus i. So we solve, and if we're lucky or using a cheap calculator, we'll be told this is undefined. The problem is if we're using a more powerful tool, we might get an answer. And the important thing to remember is no computer was at what? You know, you'd think these interns would be better considering that we're giving them experience instead of a paycheck. Let me get a new intern. Yeah, fine, we'll go with it. Remember, it's your responsibility to correctly interpret your results. So even if your calculator or computing device gives you a solution, it's your responsibility to make sure that that solution corresponds to a real situation. And in this case, this equation has no solution, so there is no dollar-weighted yield rate that makes this possible. Now while you could agree to such a payment plan, we might consider what it means for there to be no solution. So let's think about this. If you deposit 1,000 at the start and withdraw 1,500 one year later, the balance at that point is either positive, negative, or zero. But if it's positive, you'd earn interest on the balance, so you'd actually receive money at the end and not pay out an additional $1,000. Similarly, if the balance is zero, then with interest, you'd have zero at the end of two years, and again there's no reason you'd have to pay more money. So the amount after you withdraw 1,500 must be negative. This means the interest rate is less than 50% since otherwise you'd have 1,500 or more in the account. Now if the interest rate was 0%, you'd have negative $500 after withdrawal, but this amount can't grow to 1,000 with an interest rate of less than 50%. What about a different scenario? Suppose you agree to pay 1,000 now and in two years to be able to obtain 2,500 in one year, find the dollar weighted yield rate. So letting x equal 1 plus i gives us the equation of value, and the quadratic formula gives us solutions, and we have two solutions, both of which are positive. And so we have two different interest rates, 100% and negative 50%. Now we've dealt with positive interest rates before, but what should we make of the negative interest rate? One interpretation is that the deposited money loses value over time. This is actually a common scenario in economics where there's inflation. The present value of a dollar now is greater than the value of the same dollar in a year because everything costs more.
