Aloha and welcome to Lillian's Vegan World. I'm your host, Lillian Cumick, coming to you from downtown Hawaii with Think Tech Hawaii Studios. Today's show is Aloha Veganism DIY Health Habits for Veg Curious. I am so excited to introduce my awesome, awesome guest who is such a gift to the vegan world here in Hawaii. Joy Waters is a producer, entrepreneur, vegan activist, Oahu VegFest producer, and so much, much more. Welcome to the show Joy. It's fantastic to have you on. Thank you Lillian and Think Tech Hawaii. So great to be here that we can have this moment together and share and hopefully inspire your community as well and all the viewers watching. I definitely have been following you and hoping that one day our path would cross. So today is the time to share everything that you do for the community here to get the vegan lifestyle promoted and so that people can learn more about it. So thank you so much for your time, Joy. Likewise, you too woman. I noticed when you moved to Hawaii and joined the veg community here and produced the cookbook and had you on my list of people to collaborate with. So I'm glad it's finally happening. Me too. Joy, I did introduce you but I know that there is so much more to you. If you wouldn't mind just telling us a little bit about yourself before we head into the show. Sure. Well, part of my journey as a vegan, I was telling Lillian that everybody has their journey, right? As a vegan it means some people go overnight but it's very rare and so usually people it could take days, weeks, months or their whole lifetime when they're doing it meal by meal and it's just part of that process and anybody can be in that process if they want to be. And I feel that when you're a vegan activist or you're a community organizer or an advocate or an educator, all the different words you can use for it, you also are on a journey and there's many stages along the way. So that's what I don't know if you want to just launch into that. That's sort of what I'm about is this evolving person who's figuring out different ways through each project that I start to deliver this message and how that happens really depends on myself as well. So Joy, how did you go from being a typical, I don't want to say use the word typical, but from going from a vegan, someone on a plant-based diet and getting into activism, you just mentioned now the stages that you kind of naturally evolve through as you start embarking on a plant-based diet. How was it for you that you ended up in activism and may I ask how long have you been vegan and how did you become vegan? Sure, everybody loves that story. Well, for me the story began in 1999 and it was a little bit unusual. I went vegan because I wanted to learn a meditation process. I was deep in the healing of myself of an autoimmune disease called lupus, but also spiritually I had realized that health is mysterious and it works on all realms and so I was learning a meditation practice and they required that you be vegetarian, no eggs. In those days they still allowed cheese, but that's all off the table now. So I didn't know anything and you'd think on a health journey I would have run into it, but I didn't know anything about factory farms or anything about it, but I came at it from a vibrational level. I understood that the reason why they were requiring it is because it had to do with getting yourself ready to go into deep meditation and that's about vibration, it's about love, it's about compassion and also I realized it's the microcosm and the macrocosm I saw, I felt in my daily meditation how connected we all are on the planet, all being, putting the plants and so because of that I realized I can't feel myself without also helping to heal the world around me. So that connection I think led me into naturally wanting to start projects that would influence the other people around me and I'm a business school major, I'm very practical and so in those days, so now it was year 2000, we had the internet, but there was no YouTube, it was life before YouTube, can you imagine? I can't remember. Right, who remembers? But in those days, there's no YouTube, so TV was it, cable TV, that was a very huge influence in people's lives, so I figured all right, the best way to make a difference and to get this information to make this, and I grew up in Hawaii so I understand local culture and veganism was very extreme ideas and there was a lot of stereotypes around it and I wanted to mainstream it into Hawaii local culture and make it that it was cool to kind of be moving towards this plant-based lifestyle. So I got, I was really lucky in those days, Time Runner Cable had OC16 which was a kind of elite channel that was only for producers for Hawaii shows and you had to apply and they accepted me and approved me so I started producing a show called Tasty and Meatless TV and I didn't even use the V word in those days because that would have been way too extreme, right? So Meatless, I put meat right in the title of the show to lure people in and we would go and my chefs, I didn't put myself in the show, I took people from the community every week showing a different dish that they had made Meatless and then we went to restaurants and we highlighted, there were no vegetarian restaurants, none, can you imagine Oahu without any in those days and so we highlighted whatever was Meatless on the menu and that was my beginning activism project, you know? You've been very cutting edge in your career it sounds because yes in the year 2000 I think that was when the word vegan or veganism sort of started coming about and then we noticed that people felt more comfortable using the word plant-based and I think people now sometimes don't even want to label themselves either, they just get sick of all the connotations and things that people assume when you do label yourself as that. So you've been doing some very cutting edge stuff, what kind of projects have you been working on? Yes, so even me, I would rather say I'm a loveitarian, you know, than claim there's a lot of still stereotypes around veganism and there's a lot of vegans just like on their journey as a vegan activist, you have to work through a lot of anger I think and so as different people who are trying to expand their sphere of influence and influence the world around them working on their own internal anger the message can come out sometimes differently and a lot of people because of that have gotten this impression of vegan so I say I'm a loveitarian. So once the YouTube started going and so many people was creating now content about how to cook plant-based and all it was just becoming more popular around 2005 I stopped producing the TV show and I think I started doing these other projects kind of took a break from direct advocacy, you know, on vegan because I felt a little burnout and I think it's really important for activists to pay attention to that and I started projects like Street Angels Hawaii where a whole bunch of I managed a bunch of volunteers who would cook vegan for the homeless and we serve on Alamoana Beach Park every week and other projects I started was because I had been doing so much video production and now all the schools were starting to have iPads in the schools so I got a grant from the Department of Education I started a program called Kiki Voices Youth Media and so I was teaching the kids how to tell video stories and of course I always wanted them to have a positive message in their story and some of them did some great little video skits and one of them won an award so I did a lot of projects like that for a while it was really into the sharing economy and tried to start a time bank here in Hawaii and even organized a little festival called share fest and I think that's when I started realizing it was time to stop producing educational content inspirational stuff for screens for the internet because by then it was like 2009-2009 you know it was like it it was exploding and and I realized that we were spending so much time on screens that I thought I'm going to start producing events to get people together in real life and that's when I we started the Oahu vegan meetup and you know I was still in that share fest mode and then eventually and I started doing different meetups around the island for for smaller groups and eventually that led to veg fest Oahu working together with by then things were more mainstream and more restaurants were opening up and down to earth was you know flourishing as a provider so it wasn't until 2015 that I was like wow we really have a vendor community now where we could have a festival like veg fest well for any of the viewers who are watching and are living in Oahu you might have you might remember I'm sure you do this awesome veg fest that was held was it in the summertime joy a month was it held every year hopefully it was informed yes back to school okay and I was fortunate enough to to visit twice because I had just moved to Hawaii fantastic and the woman behind the veg fest is the joy waters so what an incredible accomplishment to get you know get all these vendors together get the funding for it find the venue I mean it was amazing and I think I speak on behalf a lot of on behalf of you know many people in our community we really miss it and can't wait for you to get back into it once you know once times once the times get back to you know being able to do stuff like that so you have definitely you've put you've put you've brought so much to the community joy veg fest is definitely an amazing feat yes and veg fest was another strategy right another strategy to mainstream these ideas because I made sure that I got the mate I did it on the mayor's land and in in right there in Honolulu Halle and that took a lot of negotiation and but meanwhile they were learning so much about why we were even having this festival and we did it for four years before the pandemic shut that down and the last year we had like 5000 people attend I've had the mayor speak from our stage we got a grant from the Hawaii tourism authority to support this festival so and you know I have to give a shout out to Down to Earth who was a solid sponsor from day one because they realized the potential of this and I'll tell you I did it for the community but just as much I did it for the the food entrepreneurs on Oahu I wanted to give them a market I wanted them to feel confident that the demand for plant based was growing on the island and it did and they would come you know food vendors that didn't exist were born out of trying out at veg fest and making tons of money and then you know continuing on with their little food trucks or you know catering and certainly some of the restaurants would try out new dishes as they were evolving and being able to staff a booth at veg fest so the plant based community on Oahu grew a lot in those just five years since we started doing the festival and that was felt really good that felt really good because you know I was it's like it had an economic value and that's how I convinced the white tourism authority to give us money because I said hey if you want Hawaii to remain a cutting edge you know destination spot you've got to become we have to have a plant based industry here in the islands yeah you did an amazing job and what I I do love about the veg fest is it definitely showcased plant based food and took it to a whole new level because I think people were shocked that there were you know you had vendors that were selling ice cream or nice cream that you would not have any idea contained no dairy at all but there was just so much food and so much excellent excellent food and vibes and so many people coming together to do that so Joy we look forward to another one we are going to just take a quick break for some messages and be right back to talk about Joy and her journey with active visit stay tuned I'm Mitch Ewan host of Hawaii the state of clean energy on Think Tech Hawaii Hawaii the state of clean energy is about following the many

book tasting Hawaii vegan style is due to be released in fall this year around October so definitely stay tuned for that and talking about vegan food and plant-based living I would like to welcome back my wonderful guest all the way from Maui Joy Waters welcome back to the show awesome great to have this conversation it's like a trip through memory lane of what I've been doing you know I can I can actually feel your energy it's it's so vibrant I have to say and I remember seeing one of your videos on your youtube channel which we will be telling that the viewers about shortly that you were actually honored by the state of Hawaii and you tell us quickly about that and then we I do want to delve into activism and sure yeah um blessings congratulations on that as well thank you and blessings to senator gabbard one of our state senator Susan avid vegan we're so blessed to have him and he put that together but they do yeah sort of citizen commendations for when you're done good as a engaged and active citizen making a difference in the community so all the senator signed it and he presented that to me at one of the veg best thank you that you can see stories like that on my website I do a lot of different projects but kind of my home is positive media hawaii so dub dub dub that positive media hawaii has um that story with the senator um and uh yes and during the pandemic I found myself without you know without an event project anymore and so I did start delving more as you mentioned into creating youtube videos in a new way and on instagram too with the brand diy healthy habits um and uh I've had chronic illness my whole life you mentioned about my vibrant energy it's because of the vegan diet of course but also um I call it the holy trinity meditation vegan diet and um qi kong energy exercises learning how to manage your energy um through exercises that can relax your nervous system when you're really tensed or energize yourself when you need some you know you need some verb and uh I decided to start sharing the things that um for frustrated people who aren't getting answers I didn't find my answers in western medicine doctors especially for chronic it's they don't really understand so I put together a toolkit that works for me and I'm sharing it over time on my youtube channel um under joy waters or on instagram diy healthy habits so that's kind of what I've been working on in the pandemic um as well as I know you um were I we originally connected because you were interested in the new project that I've been working on for the last um seven months and it's I did not find found this this was a group called agriculture fairness alliance which uh was founded co-founded by Laura Montane and I really loved the message and it was the I've always been a grassroots person in terms of activism I've worked on the grassroots level and this was the first time that I considered yes it's time to work in politics now and try to work on a lobby strategy and and I did and I and there's two reasons why I decided that was a good idea one is because with climate change we have finally have a reason powerful enough that congress is listening and congress is interested on both sides of the table democrats and public and senators want to sign their name to bills that say they're happening in the name of helping climate change and because we all know how many emissions the animal agriculture industry makes we have a platform now that can be that we can give them some convincing arguments on how we can change the food system and the other reason why I decided to work with agriculture fairness alliance and devote my activism energy to them um till we wait for the pandemic to be over is I found Laura's strategy was really brilliant in that she's focusing the lobby strategy on the farm bill and the farm bill is we all think oh supply and demand if we stop eating meat the supply of meat will come down right but I learned through agriculture fairness alliance that that is broken if there is not supply and demand with animal agriculture why because of the farm bill the farm bill represents millions of dollars billions of dollars of our taxpayer money that the government is spending on the agriculture industry and agriculture fairness alliance as a lobby group is a watchdog looking to see how that money is spent and turns out a huge chunk of it the majority between 1580 percent depending on the program is all being given to animal farmers so that means even if the demand goes down the price going to stay the same because they have a client they have a buyer for their wares and um I feel like it's time there's finally a listening in congress in the name of climate change to look at how they're subsidizing our food system and and shift it towards a climate friendly crops which obviously would be more plants and healthful crops you know and when they do that and they take away the subsidies and an organic apple will cost right now you go to get a cheeseburger at mcdonald's it's cheaper than an organic apple but that's because of subsidy it is crazy I urge anyone watching who's you know really interested to learn more about this agriculture fairness alliance um to go to joy waters youtube channel there's a really great video there and joy explains how you can donate actually you can do monthly donations which I personally do um since watching your video and it's a very small amount they're very affordable but you are making a difference which brings me to my next question joy how do you make a difference and what is activism what can someone like you or I who believe in vegan lifestyle who want to see you know positive changes in our community in our health in our environment you know change what's going on in in the animal world what can we do do to get moved forward in a healthy way yes that's such a great question and um and I know sometimes people can feel a little intimidated like I don't want to start a huge project and everything so I think what a person can do is to acknowledge I have a sphere of influence acknowledge that you have a sphere of influence and you and if you want to you can do things to expand the sphere I would argue doing qi kong helps you expand the sphere because when you talk people listen but other things too you can do projects and stuff and so I'm writing this book we'll see if it ever gets published called becoming an everyday change maker and the point is to encourage people to have a life that where they have sustainable lifestyle habits and they they're living an engaged citizen life and everywhere they go even if it's just in the grocery store line they see themselves as having a sphere of influence and therefore they can say something to the person who's like oh well you sure like kale or whatever you know and there's always an opportunity and that's what this everyday change maker um hope is that everybody owns their own you know sphere of influence and is interested in expanding it and then my diy healthy habits there's a lot of ways people can expand and strengthen their sphere of influence I absolutely agree like it can be as simple as inviting people over to your place for dinner and cooking plant-based food for them because when you think about it you're saving you're saving animals you're you're doing the right thing so much influence in just sharing food with people because we all food is something that really brings us together and it's definitely a passion in my life with what I do and I do I I totally get what you're saying like any person can be an influencer you just got to make it just just make it happen start talking about it be open about it um you have this this new project your diy healthy habits I just want to say you Lillian are an excellent example of a wonderful vibrant beautiful vegan influencer and you know I have so much respect to people who choose their way of influencing and activism to be an actual food provider whether it's to your friends at the most awesome dinner parties and they just get transformed through that or through a food truck or a restaurant or a grocery store I mean let's face it if more and more people want to eat this way but we don't have all no grinds to buy then what's not going to happen right so so thanks for all the you are an ambassador of beautiful food and I really appreciate everything in your your cookbook is amazing thank you so much well it's interesting because I did mention on my last show two weeks ago I had the very famous Sam Choi sit at my table for a seven course dinner and it was the first time he had he had eaten vegan can you believe it so he is coming to another dinner and I'm going to be serving you Italian in August an Italian seven course dinner but he was so taken aback and one of the things he said is I feel satisfied yeah it was such a simple statement he said it was fantastic I think he said excellent excellent excellent but he said I feel satisfied like he wasn't expecting that the food would be you know satisfying enough that he might have to stop at a fast food joint on the way home or something. Bravo because having Sam Choi if you work your magic on that would be in our cap that's a feather in your cap we need a vegan expression for that but that is a great a great accomplishment so I am that's the best that made my day hearing that news Sam Choi is eating at your table that's awesome thank you I hear that he's telling people about these the food that he tried so that's a good start again you can influence people and you just don't even know about it so get talking get moving and just yeah get out there Joy we are heading towards landing this plane today I do want to get your last closing thoughts and some something you can just say to the viewers whatever you would like to say.

For thousands of years, these gigantic and enigmatic creations have been sitting in plain sight at NASCA unnoticed. Ancient inhabitants lived here, settled here, farmed the area and had no idea that what they were surrounded by was ancient, calling cards, symbols that were trying to signal something that we can't logically explain today. The NASCA lines were only discovered with the innovation of flight. They can only be seen from a great height and they are massive, designed to be noticed from the sky and possibly space. Now what if we were to tell you that on the tops of the mountains surrounding these things there are massive flattened areas that look spookily like runways. As if the ancient visitors or better yet ancient occupants were landing at this site in ancient flying machines. To create a runway in modern times is one thing, to excavate a mountain top and build one there is impossible by today's standards, yet this appears to have happened in the ancient past and get this, billions of tons of rock is missing from where this was built, nowhere in the surrounding area is there a big pile of rock that was taken from this site, meaning it must have been evaporated, turned to dust like substance and evenly redistributed across the land. The undertaking involved to make these mountain tops flat would have been epic, either that or there was some sort of machine used, perhaps one in the same that was used at the Kalasa temple, of course it is known to Hindus that their ancestors had the capabilities of flight. The question is however, were these flying machines invented somewhere else and brought to the earth? If you consider the Sumerian stories from deciphered cuneiform tablets regarding the Anunnaki coming to the earth and mining earth for gold, then make the connection to the mountain tops at Nazgha and the mind boggling undertaking that would have been involved, the no stories that are classed as myth simply because they are beyond anything we imagine to ever have been true, actually start to make sense. They certainly never formed naturally, so the simple fact is that at some point in history something happened on a Kalasa scale to create this mind numbing feature in the landscape. We are told that ancient earth inhabitants created these features in Nazgha, we accept that but the question is why did they create them? Were they trying to tell the beings who created the runways to come back? These are interesting anomalies alright and there is no widespread agreement as to what exactly was going on here in the distant past, one thing is for sure and that being that we don't know what happened. We can't explain it but in the back of our minds we must know that whatever created these runways left the earth and possible are yet to return. Think of it this way, the lines were meant to be seen from the sky and there are what looks like runways and landing strips surrounding them, isn't it obvious? We will leave it at that for the moment guys, we would appreciate you subscribe our backup channel and also pledge what you can on Patreon. Any support is greatly appreciated, comments below and as always thank you for watching.


In 2003, the University of Calgary developed the Pipeline Engineering Center to address the shortage of engineers in the sector due to aging demographics. Since that time, the Pipeline Engineering Center has grown into a globally recognized center for pipeline research, education, and knowledge dissemination. Thirteen years after our founding, the University of Calgary received funding from the federal government for the renovation of our home in the Petro-Canada building. After two long years of renovations, in 2019, we returned to our home, moving into a new laboratory that was carefully designed for collaborative pipeline research, the new advanced pipeline research and innovation laboratory, or as we refer to it by its acronym, April. For it is by working together through closed teamwork that we are each able to bring our unique background and knowledge to a problem, starting with nothing more than a concept. We perform small-scale experiments to test out our ideas, and it is through careful testing and refinement that these ideas advance in size and complexity, through things like field testing or startup companies. Some of our ideas eventually make it into the real world. But it is in our graduates who we have the greatest pride, for they have been educated to ensure the safety and security of our society. We are the University of Calgary Pipeline Engineering Center.


What is that everybody welcome back to the channel you guys in today's video? I'm gonna show you some basics I'm gonna show you one basic step that I've been teaching rotors that I've been teaching small business owners for the past several years This is a step that I implemented into into the five-step blueprint, which is what I teach In fact, what I'll do is I'll also link down below a Simple my ebook. So in 2018 I wrote a basic ebook a simple ebook explaining these five steps, right? And these five steps came as a result of seeing what thousands and thousands of real estate agents here on Facebook specifically What thousands of them what what thousands of their pages of their personal profiles were missing and what tens of thousands of their actual business pages Information that was missing as well. It's a result. I came up with this first step Um as a result of seeing Thousands of pages right what everyone's profile looked like what what their intro looked like and the fact that they were missing these super important links These super basic links when it comes to social media branding in 2023 and beyond these are these are This is something so simple you guys once I show it to you you're gonna be like holy crap That's so simple and then you're gonna be like dude That was basic and I'm telling you right now once I show this to you and I'm and we're gonna go behind the scenes I'm gonna show you other accounts. I'm gonna show you other friends of mine on Facebook Um, I'm gonna show you their intro.  Because once I show this to you, it's gonna be so simple and you're gonna be like dude I didn't even think about that So watch once I go into once that once I show you I'm guaranteeing you right now. I'm calling it right now. I'm calling it right now And and and some of you guys are watching this are my clients. So you guys are actually the 0.00001 That actually completed it, but I'm gonna just say 99 once I show this to you.  That's why I thought I'm like dude. Let me just make a video because shut out to my newest client Tina Crushing it top rotor for the past 18 years in the metro Atlanta area Super blessed and fortunate to be working with her now. She's my newest newest client And we just knocked out this first step again This is what I call step one when it comes to basic social media branding and and and and and credibility, right? Social proof. This is what you guys want to be doing. Okay, so Let me show you right now Let me go into let me go let me go to my facebook And let me just give you some context of really where this came from It came from my personal facebook friend friend list when I started when I started when I when I got Because my whole background I've been in marketing forever and a day you guys I've been I've been in marketing forever, right? But it was in it was in it was in 2010 when I got into mortgages So some of you guys know my story some of you some of you may not but But I spent six years in the mortgage industry from 2010 to 2016 loan originator licensed for the state of california licensed for the state of of washington The washington state right licensed in these two states crushing it from 2010 to 2016 in mortgages That's not that's how I know, you know, the real estate side fairly well because I did loans for six years And so in 2016 when I leave mortgages my whole idea was to start consulting real estate agents on social media marketing because I knew for a fact that most of them Didn't know really much about social media because at that time 2015 2016 social media was really starting a scale Where we're at today 2023 with with social media and ai and in and in youtube where we're at today in 2023 It's very different than where we were at in this industry in 2015 in 2016 in 2017 2017 right the landscape was a little different So in 2016 I knew that the majority of of rotors the majority of small business owners I knew that they didn't really have their social media part down So if I could start teaching them certain things, uh, maybe I could build a business that was in 2016 when I had that thought right So what I did what I did is I leave mortgages and I jump into consulting full time Not knowing what the hell I was going to really consult on I just knew social media Let me start teaching people marketing over here Because one thing again, I knew that the majority of them were not were not really savvy and weren't really up to par Or really weren't really up up on game when it came to social media I knew most rotors most small business owners Didn't didn't even know didn't even know that part But then also I knew because you got to know the market right you got to know your audience So you got to know who you're trying to who you're trying to serve And in this case I just felt like I can serve rotors Because they come from mortgages and then also I knew that the majority of them Any of them that were advertising were still spending an arm and a leg offline I knew that that any any successful realtor out there and in this case again rotors But this applies to any small business But I just knew that most rotors if they did have any type of advertising budget They were still spending money on expensive zeal leads They were still trying to put out direct mail expensive direct mail campaign Pieces they were still trying to put their face on a billboard on a bus bench Or just these basic offline activities marketing that we that we call marketing that are expensive I knew that any of them were we're doing that right so I jump in and start teaching rotors all this stuff full time in 2016 And here's what I really found out Sorry about that you guys I freaking had an intruder Visitor unexpected visitor But but the show must go on here's what I was saying you guys here's what I was saying when I left mortgages in 2016 I start consulting rotors, right? But my strategy to to to get in touch with you guys was a little different unique different It's it's it's how I did it and and to this day I haven't found anybody else who really have done it has done it this way and really built A prospecting list or an audience My whole thing was to come over here to my personal profile And the reason why i'm telling you this part you guys is to give you context of where this step came from And it's what i've been teaching rotors and small business owners for the for the past five years now This basic step one, but it's such a game changer to your profile. It's such a game changer to your to your credibility over here That's why I wanted to share it with you guys. This is what I teach Um, but but but but here's but i'm giving you this context to let you know where it really came from It came from the thousands of friends that I started following So in 2016 what I did personally is I came over here to my personal facebook page And I've been on facebook forever in a day But it was in 2016 when I have this idea of consulting you guys, right rotors Small business owners, but again, let's keep it straight on rotor in this case It was it was in 2016 when I had that idea So so my strategy to get in touch with you guys was to do it through here On facebook on your personal profile. You only get 5 000 friends, right?  Same thing for all of us so over here. It was only a couple hundred. I was I've been in san diego forever I know everyone and their mother right so I had a lot of friends here that that that I actually You know broke bread with went to school with go to church with right people that you know in your neighborhood right because you've been there forever But again, what i'm saying at the end of the day. It's only a couple hundred It's only a couple hundred in 2016 I removed all of them because my strategy was to fill up the 5000 with nothing but rotors That was my strategy sent my mom a message. Hey mom. I'm taking you off of my facebook I'm going to put you on my instagram because my strategy here is to fill up with is to build a new business This was 2016 when I was doing all this Was to build a new business and fill up with agents fill up my 5000 Hey bro a cousin a uncle a aunt. That's what I did right? That's what I did But here's where it where it led me to As I started requesting thousands of agents I started going to the news feed and that's all I started seeing was what agents were posting right awesome verse Awesome bible verse right here right awesome awesome awesome stuff like that But then I would see real estate related stuff That's where it started coming from so as I started following you guys thousands and thousands of realtors By 2018 that's when I wrote the book so click the link below it'll take you straight to my page where you can download a free copy in 2018 this started in 2016 But it was in 2018 when I when I when I found the comma denominator When the light bulb went on and I'm like dude I see a pattern I see the fact that this page is missing that and and and I've already seen hundreds at this point I've already seen a few thousand at this point and everyone's page looks the same I started going I started going to business pages and everyone has 200 likes I started looking at the intro on different pages and everyone's missing their links And that's what I'm going to show you here. I'm going to show you One that's that's that's um complete and I'm going to show you a profile that that's incomplete 99.99% of you guys missed this basic step and so this is where it came from you guys It started it came from these five steps that I started teaching yo yo yo yo Yo these five steps that I started teaching were literally Steps that I started getting from seeing everyone's profile seeing their profile seeing their business page That's where this came from. Okay, so this is step one. This is step one As I started seeing and just randomly connecting with random friends Nancy as I started connecting with with with random friends Jennifer And again, these are my 5000 friends. I would go to someone's page a person I'm going to show you a page. It's not my client like this page. This person's not not my client right here, right? I would start to go to their page. This was 2016 2017 2018. I write this book This is step one because at that point in 2018 when you're following thousands and thousands of pages And every single one of them has the same job You really start to see the transparency. Here's step one the intro as I go to stacy's personal profile and I look at her intro That's what I started seeing And I've seen this to this day 2023 the making of this video I started seeing that in 2016 Wrote a book about it in 2018 Called the five step blueprint That's step one the intro So when you guys are so so again Whether you're watching this on facebook whether you're watching on youtube go to your personal profile right now and does yours look like that You might have your business page. You might have your ig you might have a dot com But that's as far as it goes Right it either looks like that or or or it might have a couple links a dot com if that But this right here you guys the way this looks specifically shout out to stacy shout to stacy But but this is our online credibility. This is our online social proof stacy. Here's here's an interesting fact and here's the truth Stacey it could be a top producer. She could be in the industry for 25 years All this success and and and and a lot of that's offline dealing with her local market She could be she could be farming her area for the past 15 years Right and she crushes it top 1 but on social media as we have thousands of people that we start to get connected with No one knows you So shout out to stacy, but i don't know her I don't know if she's majorly successful. All i'm seeing is this intro and this hinders our credibility This right here this because we're in business this intro needs an update. It needs a facelift There needs to be more information here and not crazy information What i'm referring to what i'm going to show you because i'm going to show you tina shout out to my client tina Yo yo yo shout out to my client tina because i'm going to show you her profile I'm going to show you her intro and this is what i'm recommending all you guys do to your to your pages And all this is going to do is just again add credibility Add social proof and help you build your platforms help help get more exposure to these other links that should be here listed in the intro So again Rather than boring you to death and showing you 10 other stacies because i'm telling you Everyone's profile looks the same so no matter if you're seeing this on facebook or seen on youtube Go to your profile tell me if your intro don't look like that This is the game changer. Here's the game changer So so so rather than rather than linking everybody to your to your broker's page That's what i see a lot as well You might have your business page there and you're a little bit more up on it But but not in a 10 10 of you guys you guys are linking all of your traffic So this is 2 000 people that are following stacy, right? You're linking all of that traffic to your broker's page And because most people don't know the difference between broker and agent most people Think that this is your page. So here's what's going on the majority god only knows how many of these people Are actually following kella williams page thinking they're supporting you right Majority of these people let's just say they're not in the industry. They're not tidal. They're not escrow officers They're not freaking lenders. They're not appraisers. They're no one. They're random people that are just following us, right? You're your corporate people. You're you're working class People, right? Majority of them don't know that this is not your page. So god only knows how many people you've actually sent to that page I'll just unlike it now But but god only knows right god only knows how many how many of your friends are following that page So you don't want your business. You don't need your broker's page there at all again I'm going to show you tina's and it's a huge difference and then she has studied she has lives She has pronounced right. This is not necessary. The pronounce is not necessary. You can leave lives. That's not really necessary I'm going to show you what i'm recommending that you that you do to your profile stacey.  Okay, do this to your intro right away Rather than this blank, you know taking it there. Here's i'm going to show you tina's let me go to tina's Let me refresh this page Shout out to my client tina. If you guys are in the atlanta area doing business doing real estate Reach out to tina.  She could be the one 27 years in the business crushing it multi multi multi millionaire broker Even right she could be that person but the moment I come to her her the moment I connect with her on facebook and I see The intro the intro is the first impression, right? That's why it's so important. It sticks out. It's my business It's like my little business card. That's why the intro is so important So I go there and I see that Versus going to tina's page shout out to tina on the flip side tina could be She could be seven months in the business. She could be seven months. Obviously it says 18 years right here, but you know what I'm saying She could be seven months in the business and that's what her intro looks like You know what I mean? So just the credibility you guys the added the added just Overall perception that that gives versus seeing a profile like like like like this one It's night and day, right? It's night and day So you want to do that to your to your account? So you guys you want to go out there and customize your links even if you're not on these platforms? It doesn't matter. I don't know one damn thing about pinterest But if you come over here to my intro, you'll see my pinterest link I don't know one damn thing about twitter shout to elon musk, but I don't know what I don't I don't tweet Right. I'm an ad guy. I'm just running facebook ads and I'm building a youtube channel That's it. Those are the two things that pay me these other platforms don't pay me So until they pay me to post over there, then I'll probably go go and post over there But but but marketing is is what you guys really want to focus in on and this is what I call just basic social media marketing This is basic social media branding. This is just securing your link and making sure everything is in order It's not about you posting on all these platforms. It's all about you just securing that name So you're going to get it listed on the personal profile. You guys you're going to get it listed on the business page So look, this is her her business page So now as I come to the intro over here Everything is matching and and she's in the process of updating this email as well But this is this is this is what we all did. We did all these other platforms today So it's not about posting on all these platforms. It's all about securing the name you guys Secure that name. Whatever that one name is you're trying to brand Step it up and get everything listed and and and and and just bring your credibility to the next level on social media You guys so that's that's what I call step one in the five step blueprint you guys Um I'll link a simple e-book that I that I wrote back in 2018 that explains this step Explained step two explained step three four and five um Download that e-book and if you want to jump on a call where I can give you all of these freaking strategies We can do a zoom call. We'll make it a training video.  Let's do a strategy call. Let me show you how basic this stuff can be in this in this case What step one is just about the linking is just about the branding and and and given a facelift to that intro Right linking everything to to your business page not your brokers So if this is something you want to you want to talk about you guys if you're into social media marketing If you're into targeting if you're a local business owner That's where I can really add value if you're trying to farm a few zip codes Right because that's another thing that's going on. I don't need you put or not not need that's not the right word I don't recommend you post on all these platforms all the time Like you're probably getting the advice right like you're like you're probably getting that type of coaching from a broker or or even a coach You got to be omnipresent post post post post into your freaking eyeballs fall out.  I'm posting all over the damn place, but i'm not getting any leads from it I'm posting all over the damn place and what ends up happening david is the freaking 2.2000 people don't even live in my state If that's you let's chat if that's you let's chat I'd love to show you how to target your area if you're the type of person that says, you know david I'm posting and yes all these people that are following me are across the country None of them are leads none of them are potential clients at all I don't want to target them anymore. I'd rather learn how to target my local area I'd rather take over my farm these three zip codes right here david I want to brand the hell out of myself and all these three zip codes. How do I do that? How can I take the same post and run my listing run my open house and and or just offer value and give away a free Seller guide or give away a free buyer guide. How can I add value and only talk to my local area? If that's you let's chat you guys Let's chat that that's a simple facebook ad. That's an instagram ad.

I think I need to make my top top 10 um favorite choreo That I would love to do the ones I would love to do. This is one of them This is one of them. I like I like how this feels I like how this feels I like how this feels with the elements that they're using so for anybody that's just want to know like what the elements are um, you see a lot of popping Waving with the body so that's waving you can look that up online to learn about waving And they also just really like use and well, let me go back to popping It's a lot of structure of like a lot of pops because just the way to hit in but the waves and the grooves So it got a lot of mixture of like the essence of hip hop and the essence of the funk Which we came from that waving at popping because they really killing this right here It's really like smooth like this right here. It's what it did it for me It really reminds me of some ogs from the waving the waving and popping world Hold on. Hold on. Let me go back a little bit a little more All of this That right there popping and waving for me right there And then just a mixture of the choreography of the isolations cleaning things up with that You just use some of those elements Yeah, army moves combos. This is cold. Yeah, I need to see I need to see what this is looking like in the music video You I just like how this video feels like I'm sorry. I took so long to watch this video my bad My bad. I believe y'all asked me to watch this my bad. Y'all day I like how this feels.  Did you notice why they're doing the choreography? Did you see what's happening in the back?  I just I set it in my head and boom Shout out to the creators man. This this was cold. I love this part. I don't know why And it's no there's no trick moves happening. You know what I'm saying?

I mean I I'm keeping the stag which are this is put together well I love this Do Yeah Yeah Yeah Oh And look at the camera. Look at the camera. Look at the camera. Y'all look at it. It dries out. Ah, yes Yeah Yeah Yes, yes Oh the consistency Consistency That's unlocking right there. That's unlocking. It's a dance style called locking if you don't know if you know already Let the comments let people know in the comments. Yes Yes Yeah, see that right there being being being that really reminds me of like pops Because you just hitting those pops with those angles shout out to popping peak And the whole popping scene hmm Yeah, yeah, yeah real jazzy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay Done See what you got for the solo part Ripple I see the guys in the back. Let's go back. Let's go back. Let's go back I just can we can we appreciate again The camera shot the video work behind this This this moment right here is kind of like a Reminds me of those the late 80s The late 80s that prints Now I'm talking about the camera shot the camera shot like the camera is doing this basically Okay, that's what I'm talking about just in case you're wondering I love this And then it just keeps turning and it's simple But the dancing is really matching and then you have the ladies right there post it up being safe Ain't nobody got time for covid.

I don't really like the song like that But you can't tell me when you watch this part.  You know what?  Thank you if you're still here. Listen up check this out It's it gets real dangerous when artists Get real theatrical and start acting on stage with their music I don't care what genre we're talking about think about it When they and and then don't let them know how to dance so When that happens and then you get a great filming team That know how to film and the dancers that's working with you are also really good Very well put together Definitely would dance if I would had opportunity to be on stage with them I would do this choreography with them. This is live So many moments of this but this really did it for me tonight Is I love the transitions how they work the choreography and we never lost a moment If you're shooting music videos like this where we're not losing a moment of the choreography that is dope And they figured it out It's always been a headache watching people record record dance choreography They chop off so much and don't know how to appreciate it Like why would you make people do all this dancing just for you to cut it? You know what I'm saying that's like that's like Like hiding somebody's beautiful outfit that they worked so hard to get for this music video and you don't even showcase it So when you get video shots like this and this this is the part of the idea of the music video This is great. This was a great shot Yes, it's on mute right now because we just appreciate it right now. We know the song already Yeah, this was a great shot with great choreography. This was good So many moments of this choreography was bomb Y'all know my favorite part when I said they was thinking about the same thing I was thinking I really visualized that like and then they did it. So it was like I'm glad I was on that right wave And this was a year ago This was a year ago Wow So listen, uh, thank y'all so you know what I mean? Listen, um Thank y'all so much for supported this page Um, I was watching the choreo and I was about to say something about the choreo But thank y'all so much for real for supporting this page And I I'm enjoying this journey and I appreciate your all your love and support And and I came with to see what we do when it comes into the new year But every day we're just going to take one day at a time and this page is going to grow to so much more Like I said, I got a battle playlist coming and I got a world choreographers around the world Videos coming out soon And then we're going to just keep this page growing one day at a time But then that y'all y'all have a beautiful day beautiful night where you're in the world I love you. Take care. Peace


Tishok, it is very obvious to everybody who's being honest that Israel is engaged in a genocidal massacre in Gaza. So I want to ask you, why do you say they're defending themselves when they're clearly involved in a genocidal war to destroy the Palestinian people? And I want to ask you again, I asked you this before, does a regime built on ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and legal occupation have the right to defend itself? I say it doesn't have the right to defend itself. The people who have the right to defend themselves are the people who are the victims of apartheid, legal occupation, and ethnic cleansing.  Israel is not a normal state, and a state that is built on ethnic cleansing, that is built on apartheid, that is built on day in, day out, killing Palestinians with impunity, has no right to self-defense. None. You don't have the right to defend in legal occupation, you don't have the right to defend apartheid, you don't have the right to defend years of ethnic cleansing. The only people who have the right to defend themselves are Palestinians.
