How's everybody doing? Thought I would pop in real quick before I head to bed and do a little $500 giveaway. Help some people out. I know there's holidays coming up and life is what life is, right? So everybody knows I like knowledge. So we're going to do a knowledge giveaway, test your knowledge, see who can answer some questions, and go from there. So let me add a few more people and make you a host if you want to help me, Zach. And bring up some guests and stuff. Okay. So let's do a little warm up here. Who's good at trivia? Who knows stuff? I got one of my little bookshelves behind me. So let's start out. I like the famous Warren Buffett saying the more you learn, the more you earn, right? It's good to know stuff. Obviously, book knowledge alone ain't going to solve everything, but it doesn't hurt to be smart in life. So not that I'm always smart, but once in a while I have my moments where I'm smart. Okay, let's do some trivia. Let's do a warm up. We'll do round one.  What year were the first known Olympic games held? What year were the first known games? Five seconds, five, four, three, two, one, I don't see anybody. The first Olympic games were in 776 BC. Some people were put in the 1960s.  The first Olympic known Olympic games were held in 17, sorry, in 776 BC. All right, I didn't see anybody. By the way, all you on Speak Easy, we started sending out a whole bunch of prizes. I saw, I mean, gifts. In fact, I got a screenshot from my assistant. A few of you, we had a hard time finding your, some of you did not have a crypto one, so we had to switch over, but we got a lot, here's a whole bunch of crypto transfers. We just did for winners like two hours ago, and we got more to go. We probably done about $5,000 this week. You can see all the little bitcoins there. We got people all around. So we're going, if you won yesterday, and we still haven't gotten you paid, we'll get to you. We'll get to you. Okay. Let's get a little more trivia. This is just round once. That's just 10 bucks. We're going to go up, up, up. By the way, switch over to my, I started my own social media app. It's called Speak Easy on Monday. It's a free speech app. A lot of people, some people like Twitter, some people hate it. Some people like, you know, Facebook, Insta, TikTok, but I got my own app. Switch over to GetSpeakEasy.com. We'll take you, or you can just go to Speak Easy Live in the app store. Download it there. Okay. Nobody won that first one. Okay. Let's do TV trivia. TV trivia. What TV show invented the rerun to allow its main star time to recover from pregnancy? They invented reruns. What TV show? Five seconds. One. Okay. I see it. Boom. First one I saw was, you need to have a photo uploaded to Speak Easy. Fa, V, Yon. Winner. Boom. Upload a photo to your profile. We got you.   Fa, V, Yon. Congratulations. Okay. Let's keep going.  Oh, that one's too easy. So a little geography. Little geography. How many time zones are there in the world? Three seconds, three, two, one. The mini pumpkin. Congratulations. There's 24 time zones. So on Speak Easy when you win, we'll DM you from my, my assistant will do it from at marketing. If you're on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, hold on one second, let me see who's calling me. Give me another second here. I'll be right back. This is a good time. You guys haven't done it yet. What's up? Okay. You broke up, Alex. Somebody was calling me, but I don't know who it was. All right. Let's keep going here. Switch over to Get Speak Easy. GetSpeakEasy.com will take you to the App Store link. Somebody was randomly calling me. I thought it was somebody that I knew. Okay. We'll switch into round two here. Let's do one more round one. These are the warm up rounds just for 10 bucks. I'm going to go up in prizes, but I don't know if I want to do Harry Potter trivia. I don't know anything about Harry Potter. What was the name of the first all-female rock band to have a hit song? Five seconds. Five, four, three, two, one. Let's see if anybody got it. There. Aunt Carol on Speak Easy. You won. It's the go-go girls. How come I, or the go-go, sorry. I don't even know who that is, but the go-go's. Congratulations, Aunt Carol. Zach, can you speak? Can you screenshot these winners so we make sure they get paid? Okay. Let's switch to round two, everybody. Round two. By the way, people always ask me about my books behind me. Lots of good books. I thought somebody uploaded a picture of Mr. Beast on here. What's a good book you all should be reading? This is actually, if you like business, this is not a bad book. This is about Tim Cook. That's the man who took over for Steve Jobs. Remember, Steve Jobs died sadly of cancer, and his COO, his right-hand man, took over. And now Apple is obviously the largest company, or was the largest company in the world. I think it still is. Almost passed a $2 trillion market cap. It's a good book.   The Elon Musk's get the most attention, right? I'm standing on a treadmill.  Steve Jobs was the larger than life marketing genius, and then this guy, Tim Cook, comes who's just like boring, shows up to work, takes care of business. In fact, in your business, you need a boring person to be your right hand.  They just show up and they get work done, you know what I mean? Because if you're an entrepreneur type, there's really, in my experience, there's two types of business people, okay? There's entrepreneurs and there's business people. I know that sounds kind of strange, but an entrepreneur is not a business person. An entrepreneur is a creator, a visionary. They take things from nothing. My mentor, Alan Nation, used to say the definition of an entrepreneur is somebody who reshapes the world in the image in their mind. They have an idea in their mind of something that doesn't exist and they remake the world or recombine the pieces. That's a true entrepreneur. Elon Musk in many ways is an entrepreneur, right? Steve Jobs was one. Innovated at Nikolai Tesla, the Serbian from the 1800s. He was a true entrepreneur.  You can argue maybe he stole it from somebody else, but entrepreneurs also get ideas from other people. Phil Knight started Nike. He found that shoe idea he found in Japan on his travels, but he was still a Starbucks. The founder Schultz of Starbucks, he went to Italy and while he was in Italy, he got this idea for these little cafes where you could get a latte and so you may or may not be an entrepreneur, but there's also the people like Tim Cook who just show up and they're not afraid to get their hands dirty and show up day in, day out and do all the little things and be careful of surrounding your business. For those of you who are entrepreneurs, you don't need to surround yourself with another entrepreneur. What you need is another business person. Somebody who'll do the nuts and bolts and it's not afraid of the boring stuff. Okay, let's keep going. Round two here. We'll up it. These are the $20 round, speed round. Okay. I'm going to do, I'm going to up it so it's a little bit harder questions. Those were like beginner ones. Although I didn't know, I mean, it makes sense that there's 24 time zones in the world, 24 hours in a day as you move around the world because the world's not flat. Even though some people say it is, as you move around the world, obviously what time it is changes, right? Okay. Here we go. This one's not too hard. Sports trivia, okay, for $20. In what sport are Barani, Rudolph, and Randolph techniques? Five seconds, five, four, three, two, one. Nobody got it. I saw somebody get it, but too late, trampoline. You might not think it's a sport, but it's pretty tough actually to do trampolining. So all right, I like this five second thing. This makes it harder because not everybody can use Google. All right, let's up it here. Switch over to Speak Easy. That's where I can get you the prizes easier. If you're on YouTube, I can't even DM you if you're on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram's the only one. I'll put the link here. Make sure you're switching over. GetSpeakEasy.com. Go there. Oh man. Sorry, let me do it again. GetSpeakEasy.com or you can just look in the App Store for Speak Easy Live. This is my new free speech social media app. The feed goes live on Monday. Now it's live shows.

Someone said prove this is live. It's on TikTok Live. It's TikTok Live. I'm not pre-recording my TikToks. It's Friday night. How about that? I always like when people are suspicious that a live, if a live is live, like are a lot of people doing fake TikTok lives? All right, let's go. This one, you got five seconds. A crepuscular animal becomes active at what time of the day? A crepuscular animal. Five, four, three. There we go. Somebody got it for 40 bucks. Congratulations. The answer is Ryan B. Oh, man, these are coming in quick here. I saw you though, Ryan. That's the first person I saw.

It's at dusk, not at dawn. How can animals become alive at dusk? You know what they're doing at dawn and dusk? All right. Okay, let's do back to round two, 20 bucks. Okay, this is a political one testing. By the way, switch over to my Speak Easy app, getspeakeasy.com or just go in the app store. It looks like this. I'll show you. It's a app called Speak Easy Live. Download it for free and that's where I give away the prizes because I was doing it on both platforms and it's just, it's this purple one right here, Speak Easy Live. Speak Easy Live.

Whoever used that old app called Trivia HQ, I think they went out of business, but I was watching how they used to do it. It was pretty smart. They gave everybody like three seconds. All right, come on. Let's give away. I got to give away 500 bucks so I can go to bed. Oh, they're still up? Okay. Trivia Crack was popular in college. Well, this is going to, so my free speech app, Speak Easy is going to be badass because it's like, it's got everything in one place, got live shows, it's got reels, but the main thing, it doesn't have an agenda. Free speech, man. Make sure you're on one more than one social media app. Apps will kick you off. People build their whole life around one app. They grow it to a million followers and they get kicked off for no reason. I was on TikTok the other day doing a live and they banned me for a week. Nobody can even figure out what I said. I appealed it and it let me back on in three days and I'm going, what in the world? What's up, Jen? Somebody I know is on there. Glad you, you want to come up and host with me, Jen? Okay. All right, let's go. Let's win some more money. Let's win some more money. Okay. This one's tough right here. I'll give you five seconds.

In fact, I'm going to give you half the prize because you got half the name. The name was Ignaz Semal Weiss. How did you know that? I got to understand how this person knew that. That's pretty, you are smarter than me. You knew Semal Weiss. I'm going to give you half, you didn't put the last name. Where is this person, damn it. Do you see the person there? Can you help me up, Zach? It's somebody put, yeah, there, Borgia. Congratulations. I'm going to give you half the prize since you got half the name. Okay. Somebody put Dr. Oz. Believe it or not, Dr. Oz did not invent or is not the first person to find me or washing the hands. It was Ignaz Semal Weiss. Okay. Here's a funny one. All right, we're going to do this, by the way, the way it works is got to be over on SpeakEasy and here's why. Jen, turn your camera on. So it's not just me. Can you turn your camera on, Jen? We need somebody who doesn't have a beard. He's literally so dark in here. Are you in space? Absolutely. No, no. I was having real bad experiences. It's not exactly like Clubhouse. It's not exactly like Clubhouse. It's not exactly like Clubhouse because we have video and we have a full feed. It's a combination of like Clubhouse, like a live broadcasting thing. And sooner it'll have like TikTok videos. And you know what I'm going to do starting Monday when we go live? People who are posting, whoever gets like a post, the posts they get the most likes in the feed. I'm going to start sending out prizes so you can post the things you would post on TikTok. Okay.

You can watch from anywhere, but winners I pick on my social media app called Speak Easy. All right, here we go. Actually, let's do an art history. Art history. This is tough.

One, two, three, four. OK, good. Somebody got it. Ladder, Gian Lorenzo Bernini. What did I say, $50? There we go. Congratulations, Ladder. By the way, part of why you should go over to Speak Easy is to claim your username while it's still available, because now I've only let in like 30, I think we're right at 30,000 people on the app. We start blowing this up. It gets to a million. You're not going to have, you get your own personal name. It's the best. You don't need a fancy username. Just get your name. If your name is Bob Smith, try to get claim at Bob Smith on Speak Easy. Kiriana said this is hard. That's all right. I'll do a few 10 second ones. OK, let's do one a little bit easier. No time limit on this one. No time limit. Just the first person I see. Woo, here's one. Asian history for $50. No time limit. Just the first one I see. Take a second. Head over.

China's terracotta army includes the soldiers of what emperor? Three names. You know those famous terracotta samurai? No. I'm just going to look down for a second. I'm going to look up here. There we go. I see somebody. Just the first one my finger comes to. OK. You got to say all three. I'm going to double check your spelling. You did get Ronald, $21, $21.50. It was from the emperor, Qin Shi Huang. I'm sure I mispronounced that. Congratulations, $50. All right, let's go up to, let's get into round six for $60, because I want to go to bed in one second. I promised myself today I would do 100 push-ups. So jump down on the floor. I didn't get to the gym today. I promised myself I'd hit 100 push-ups today. So I didn't get to the gym. Try to keep my promises to myself. Had to get verified on Speak Easy. We have a process. The best, the easiest way if you're verified somewhere else, but also if you invite people, if you invite enough people, then we know you're real if you're bringing people. So when you're in your profile, there's a share link. Post it on your social. Can you get verified for $8 a month? We haven't thought of that Elon Musk idea. OK, $60.

I'm not sure he ever wrote a book. But yes, Charles Dickens, supposedly, got his wife committed to an insane asylum so he could live with his 18-year-old mistress. That was a good marriage. Good marriage. OK, here's one. Switch over to Speak Easy. By the way, it's super simple. Once you win, within 24 hours, maybe on the weekend, it'll take 48 hours. At marketing, my assistant on Speak Easy will DM you. Ideally, give your crypto address, but some of you want to use Cash App or Venmo. Here's the problem. Whenever we use Venmo and send, like, 100 people, $60, they block us, which is insane, because the whole point of these apps is to be able to send people money. They think we're like, we've been hacked or something. That's why I like. That's the beautiful thing. Say what you want about crypto. Crypto's going through winter, and there's all these problems. Say what you want about crypto. But Bitcoin works. I can send people money anywhere in the world, quickly as the block goes in blocks.  I had some. One of my companies was Oda Wire from the UK today, from one of my e-com businesses. They send it, ACH, but they send it to the wire address, and it bounced back after three days. So it's going to take six days to get to us. I'm just like, and it costs all. I'm like, why can't you just send it to us in crypto, man? We have it in 10 minutes. It's insane. So say what you want about crypto. Stuff works. I like stuff that works. Now it's not good, maybe for the government, or it's not good for, you know, other things. Banks don't like it because they lose control, but it's good for the people. A lot of stuff, the government's meant to protect people, but it often hurts people more than it protects them. Okay, another good book for everybody. This is the book of the great grandfather of Paris Hilton. So the Hilton family is famous because of this guy right here, Conrad Hilton. This is a great story of like, he built the Hilton hotel franchise, his great granddaughter is Paris Hilton, but it's like, it's just a success story. It's just a wild story, man, you know? Anyway, I would have liked to have met this dude before he died. Read biographies, they'll inspire you because in life it's easy to get discouraged, especially in the modern world, all you're seeing in social media, you're seeing the best people's lives and everybody looks like they're happy and everything. Everybody's like Mark Twain said, humans are like the moon, they have their dark side, but people don't put their dark side on social. So social's mostly about, hey, look at me, here's the best moment in my life, and then I'm gonna have a million people see it and feel bad about themselves. But what I like about, so what I like about biographies or autobiographies is you're getting the whole story, the thick and the thin, the down and the up, the pros and the cons, you know? The peaks and the valleys, and it's easy when you're in the valley to forget that everybody who did something big went through the valley, you know? Somebody said, have you read the Bible and it's 66 books? You know, at one point growing up, I tried to memorize the New Testament. I got a little bit there. I went through different phases of beliefs and stuff, but I tried to memorize the New Testament. I still can remember a little bit of it, but what I was gonna say, the Old Testament, you know, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. That's a good poem to remember. So who here feels like they're in the valley of the shadow of death? Anybody? I've felt that before, boy, when you feel like you're in the valley of the shadow of death and only you know what you're going through, you know what I'm saying?  You know, you meet these like veterans who went through World War II, World War I, Vietnam, World War, modern wars, and those people are fearless because once you've already faced death once, you're like, you're somebody who's come back from the dead.  So I, you know, it's a good thing to keep in your head. Though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, fear no evil. Okay, here you go for 50 bucks. This is a strange one, okay? Where are dolphins, nipples located, the animal? Anybody know, five seconds, five, four, three, two, one.  Okay, so nobody, that's the technical answer. No one got it in five seconds. I don't even understand that. Why are dolphins, nipples located in their anus? That's exciting. Let's do science trivia, I like science. Inorganic molecule is produced by lightning for 50 bucks. Five, four, oh, I see somebody got it right away. Borja, I think you won twice, man, you're cleaning up. Ozone, ozone is created by lightning. All right, here's an easy one. No time limit on this one. Just the first one I see on Speakeasy. Switch over to Speakeasy Live in the App Store, download it. Hey, there you are, Jen. I haven't seen you in a while, how's life? But I'm just, I'm trying to figure this out because either you're frozen or I'm frozen.  Try to like, I see you, you're not frozen. Okay. Where are you these days?  I was in California for the last few years, but now I'm in Jersey. Jersey, you move around, eh? I do, I do. It's like wherever my heart like follows. Does that mean you're following a guy? Does that what you mean by your heart? No, I mean, no, not like romantically, but like, Oh, not, okay. You know, I missed my family and my friends and so I came back for a little. Okay, it's good to move around. Yeah. Okay. For sure. Let's get one here. Here, okay. Here's an interesting science one. If you think you know space questions for 50 bucks, five seconds, according to Apollo astronauts, this moon smells like what? Five, four, three, two, let's see if any, but that was close, man. I was gonna give it to you. Let me just go to the top. I don't know. No, not, this says burnt gunpowder. Burnt steak, somebody says. Come on, I need to give this money away so I can go to bed. Where did burnt cheese, gunpowder? Did anybody say burnt steak? All right, mini pumpkin, 50 bucks. First person that said burnt steak. That's what the official burnt gunpowder, sorry. So, oh, sorry, you know, you don't, well, okay, I'm just gonna give it to you because I already picked it. It was supposed to be burned gunpowder. Nobody got it, so I'm being generous. No one could complain. Apparently to astronauts, who here, conspiracy theory, you believe that mankind did not go to the moon, that it's fake. Just put in the word fake if you think it's fake. Put in the word fake. Who thinks real? Let's do a little informal poll. Was it real or fake that mankind went to the moon? Man, there's a lot of people say fake. Okay, it looks like, okay, I need the fake verse real ratio here. Real or fake? Somebody said it was real fake. So, Jen, why do you, what's the point? Is this like we were trying to beat Russia in the arms race? So we had to do that, like what's up? Wait, what? You said you think it's fake, that mankind. I just, I like to like a rabbit hole about it. And then they were just like making really valid points and like certain shadows and stuff. And I don't know. I used to think it was real. And then I just kept like, like I said, I went down the rabbit hole and now I'm like, I don't know. Okay. All right. I mean, it also, it was so long ago. If you ask me one out of 10 conspiracy theories are true. That's my, I got a little dumbbell here.  So you say it's real. I mean, didn't, it's pause. Who knows?  My mom never met a conspiracy theory. She doesn't like, she's an Aquarius. She says, so she's like, I'm Aquarius. We got to believe in this stuff. Who here is Aquarius believes in aliens? That's what my mom always told me. She's like, Aquarius, believe in aliens. So. I mean, it's possible. It's like another life form, right? Could be. Elon Musk put out a thing. He's like, so far all my spaceships, we haven't seen any aliens. So, you know, it's possible. It's possible. All right, let's go. Let's go. Does anybody know, Zach, about how much have I given away? So right now we're at $410. Good, I can go to bed soon. Okay, we're at 410. Let's go. For 30 bucks. What is called when an individual doesn't offer to help someone in an emergency if there are other people present. What's that called? All right, I see. Ryan B. 1258. What did I say, 30 bucks? Is that what I said? I don't know. I'm gonna do 30. Bystander effect. Congratulations, let's keep going. You know a good thing. Get one of these little kettlebells. Get yourself a treadmill desk. I'm standing on my treadmill desk. You can get in, track your steps, try to get 20,000 steps. People say 10,000, but if you can get, if you can build up to 20,000, I got an aura ring. Let's see how many steps I did today. Only 11,466, so I'm behind the eight ball. But I didn't go to the gym today, but you can do that workout where you just drop wherever you are, do 10 pushups. Also a good one is like one-legged squats. So you get more weight on your legs, pistol squats. You can do pistols or harder. You can do it where the foot goes backwards and you touch forward. That one's a little easier. Okay, let's go. By the way, this is a survey, kind of a sad survey, but I'm interested. Who feels like today was the worst day of their life?  And who here feels like today was the best day of your life? Just curious. Don't answer if it's not one of those extreme. Worse or best? Worse or best? Anybody? Somebody say worst day every day. That's not possible, really. I mean, the worst day every day would be pretty mathematically impossible. I guess it's possible, but highly improbable. Cyrus says it feels like your life is getting worse every day. Hang in there, man. Hang in there. There's that saying, the temptation to give up is greatest right before you're about to succeed. It's the old Chinese saying, there's some truth to that. People give, some people give up like, somebody, it's crazy. There's a lot of people who thinks today was their worst day of their life. It's kind of sad. Hey, I've been there. I have been there, man.  If you're suicidal, talk to somebody. People forget how big of a deal suicide is in this world. It's a big deal. A lot of people attempt and finish. It's a crazy amount. I was reading the science on suicide. It's pretty, more in men than women. Although it can, you know, some age ranges are affected a lot more. Some socioeconomic and personal structures. Men without children are more likely. People over 70, people, younger people. It's pretty crazy. Somebody says they think about it every minute of every day. Dude, if that's true, you gotta talk to somebody, my friend. By the way, I did this last time. Let me do this again. Who here is in just a horrible extra need for today? In addition to this giveaway on Speak Easy, I try to pin one person. You gotta be honest. Don't mess with bad karma here. Who is somebody? If this is you on the other app, switch over to Speak Easy. I'm gonna pick somebody. Just lay out what your situation is and how much you need. But be like specific. Be specific. Who's in a horrible place? Like you need money now or you may not make it. I did this last show. Let's do it again. Ty was robbed, recently used 20 money. Studio equipment, need a thousand for my visa processing to come from India. No money for rent or food. I've got three kids. Be honest, because I wish I could give to everybody. What is the truly desperate, the most desperate? I see a lot of people here in tough times. But be specific on how much money you need for a second. Make sure if you wanna do this, go over to Speak Easy app, download it and you can see the show. 30,000 for dental work? Anthony, can you verify this? You said five kids, I'm about to be homeless. Is that true? I mean, what's it? Could you verify that somewhere? I pinned it. Ah, damn it. Wrong person, I pinned, sorry. And it's here. Okay, so Anthony, can you DM me real quick? Is there any way you can verify you have five kids and you're about to be homeless? Just so I know. DM me on Speak Easy real quick.  All right, I'll come back to you in a second. If you can send me some proof, five kids about to be homeless, that's tough. Need $700, I'll send you half, I'll send you 350 on Cash App or Venmo and then if anybody else wants to send five bucks, we can all chip in. There's a chance it's not true, but I'd rather take the chance to try to help somebody than can't verify everything in this game. All right, okay, while we're waiting, let's do another trivia question. 40 bucks. This one's not that hard, okay? This one's not that hard. So in 10 seconds, I don't even need a time. Somebody's gonna get this for 40 bucks. Brass is an alloy of which two metals? Brass comes from an alloy of two metals. Just give it a second so everybody has a chance this one's a no time zone. I mean, no time limit. So I'll just kind of give people a chance to win. It's not zinc and aluminum. Nope, it's not aluminum in titanium. Diva estine for 40 bucks. It's copper and zinc. Congratulations. Let me real quick switch over to my Anthony Reyes. Did you DM me Anthony? I'm checking my Anthony. Is Anthony still here? Let me find this Anthony guy. Anthony, I need you to be around, buddy. I can find him. I can search for him real quick. If it's Anthony Reyes who sent him an invite for a Q&A, then I could move him up from there. Oh, good idea, yeah. Anthony, can you do that please? I just sent you a DM on the app. I don't know if he bounced. That'd be sad. Okay, but if he's got five kids about to be homeless, he might have accidentally bounced. So he's at the bottom of Q&A. Is it Anthony Reyes? Is that the right person? Yeah, Anthony Reyes. Are you in the Q&A, buddy? Yeah, he's at the end of the Q&A. Oh, can you pull every, I gotta go in a minute because can you kick everybody off? Sorry, if you're on the Q&A line, I gotta go to bed. I gotta fly tomorrow or somewhere for a business meeting. Ty, have you read every single book behind you? No. Someone said I'm about to lose my apartment. I need 900 bucks on TikTok. Go over on Speakeasy. I've tried to do giveaways on all the other apps.  Like YouTube doesn't even have an inbox. So Anthony, to turn on your microphone, just click the microphone to turn it on. Yeah, Anthony, you should see that in the bottom. You there, Anthony? The bottom of the screen, there's a microphone and a camera. Anyway, I'll answer some other questions that I see on other apps. Somebody said they wish they had money for a PS5.  I don't consider that the most. That's probably in the array of pain that people are in in this world. Not having a, probably better off in life if you can't afford a video game.   In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, I feel like video games is not even on Maslow's hierarchy. It's like physiological needs at the bottom. It goes up, you know, you progress. And you got like food, shelter, water, love. You get all the way to the top is self-actualization. And I didn't see video games in there, believe it or not. More important in video games is self-actualization. Can you get to a place where you know who you are? Honestly though, for those of you who said you had your worst day of your life, I've had that before and I would say this, like you're not really alive until you face death. Most people go through their whole life and they're never been alive because you take it for granted.  That was Nietzsche, the philosopher and or I believe was Nietzsche. It's true because once you face that, now you're the only person awake in that room. Plato, the philosopher, he said, he has this famous analogy, this metaphor story. It's called The Cave, if you've ever read Plato and supposedly maybe the wisest person to ever live or one of the smartest people to ever live, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle. And he said, for most people, they're like in a cave and they see there's a fire going, they're at the back of the cave, it's dark, they light a fire, the fire comes and they see the reflection of themselves from the flames on the cave wall and they think they see life because they're like, look, I can see action, I see movement. But what Plato said is they're just seeing a mere reflection of the truth. So if you walk to the front of the cave where the sunlight is, you see yourself, you look down and you see, well, that's how I actually look. I look different than the reflection on the wall.   And so we live in a world where people don't really wanna know what's true and I understand why you wouldn't wanna know because the truth is very painful. The truth about yourself, the truth about myself, we all have an image. Some people are overly egotistical and narcissistic. They see the reflection of themselves on the wall and they think they're better than they are. And some people have very low self-esteem and they see the reflection of themselves which also isn't the truth. But to walk out into the light is very painful. I think the reason sometimes I don't wanna read a book or maybe you don't wanna read a book or it's not just the time that's something to it but also like this book here, this one I was talking about or this book about Tim Cook, it's also an indictment of ourself and how much we may or may not have accomplished. And so it casts the light on you like, wait a second, I could have done that if I had made different decisions. So the light becomes painful yet eventually your eyes will acclimate to the light and you'll be able to handle it.  How are you doing man? Hey Ty, I'm doing okay, I'm hanging in the brother. So what's the story here if you don't, you don't have to share if you don't want to, I'm gonna put you on it. Yeah, I'll share it, so they put, I got COVID for a second time, I couldn't pay my rent, my rental company put me on a payment plan and the deal is if I miss one of my payments on my payment plan, there's no other chances. And so I'm on a, it's 900 on the 20th of each month. I got 200, they said if I can't pay about the 20th the whole 900 and then I got to pay my rent on the first as well, I don't get another chance. So I don't, I'm gonna do what I can tomorrow to hustle to come up with that other 700. But for now I don't know what I'm gonna do between today and tomorrow to come up with it. What do you, and you have five kids? Are you married or single dad? I got five kids, wife stays home, she's disabled. So it's me, my wife, I run a cleaning business and I'm just recovering, trying to come back with everything to come up with the money just to make that pass view payment. I'm actually waiting on the government to help me. Do you do, do you, so you have a crew or you just do the work yourself? I'm a solo operation out of Phoenix, Arizona. Gotcha. Yeah. Do you have a Venmo or a Cash App? Cash App off the top of my head. My Venmo is Anthony Reyes, one, two, three. Can you, can you type it so I don't, this is Venmo? Yeah, just stick it here, stick it down there so I can pin it in the comments. Yeah, I have a friend who just got, he just got knocked out by being sick. It's, it's, it's a tough, so how much do you usually make in the, in the business? Around four grand a month. So that's my typical net, but I'm, I'm just recovering from that and trying to get back on my feet and... Did you type it here, Anthony? I'm trying to look for the... Oh yeah, let me send it. Yeah, put it in the comments. So if anybody wants to join, it's, he needs 700 bucks. Father of five, wife's disabled. Oh, there it is. Okay. So let me pin this one. Just so, oops, did I pin the wrong one? It's Anthony Reyes, one, two, three. You pinned it? Okay, good. Thank you. All right, let me send here. If anybody wants to send, nobody needs to send a lot, but if anybody wants to send five bucks, one, two, three, right? Anthony Reyes, one, two, three. Now is this, I want to make sure I'm sending it to the right dude. Let me send you like $5 first before I send too much to be sure it's you. Okay. So just see if you get this $5. Oh yeah, it says carpet cleaning. There you go. You've been paid for cleaning. That is you. Okay. So I'll send it, I'll just send you the whole amount. I just want to make sure. So I'm going to send half. I think it's good to, it's good in a certain way to see, to other people will send some in here. Just put rent here. Let's see if this goes through. Okay. Can you tell me the last four of your phone number? It says confirm the last four of your phone number. Wait, eight, one, zero, nine? Double check that's your number because it says that's not the right number. That's not the right number. Maybe your wife's on there. Try zero, nine, two, six. Oh, okay. Your payment is on the way. Let's see if it goes through. If anybody else wants to send a couple bucks, maybe it'll add up. Okay. You sent a payment. I got it, Ty. You got it? Can you cash that in in time? You got to pay the, there you go. Not that I'm trying to show off, but there it says you pay. I got to send it electronically. You should be able to withdraw it from your bank. This is 350 there. If anybody else wants to give, maybe it adds up to 350. Another 350 gets them to 700. One of a guy once told me, and I've lived by this, a billionaire guy gave me this advice when I was struggling one time. It was a mentor. And he said, let's say you think you need whatever dollar amount. Anthony, how much do you think you need to really help you, like to set you free? What's the dollar amount you need? Like if you, I mean reasonable, don't say a billion dollars. What's an amount that would help you? Am I lying? No, no, I'd just like to help you for like, let's say a year or something like that. Okay. So this is what the guy said. This is what this billionaire guy, he knew a lot about money. He wasn't a perfect human, but he knew a lot about this subject about. He was probably worth maybe $3 billion. And he said, Ty, I'm a big believer and try to kick the can down the road just a little longer.  It's too big of a goal, you'll get overwhelmed. So he's like, just live to fight another week. So that's what I'm doing for you, helping today and the community on Speakeasy's helping to do. I don't know if anybody else sent any, but if you're getting, you know, if you can get 700 to pay for today, or when did you say the rent is due? Yeah. Yeah, so you're on this payment plan, the 20th, which is coming up, just live to fight another day.  I heard you say that. And then next month I have this, just live to fight another day. And when you do that, it builds that mental muscle of the faith that you can survive, you know, and you have to build that and it starts to manifest. And so the biggest mistake that I've made and I've seen people make financially is your goal is so big that it overwhelms you. Break it in, they call that chunking. Break what you need to do in life into teeny chunks.  So, you know, sometimes, look, I haven't always been perfect at this, but in life it's better to be kind than always right. You know what I'm saying? Because yes, somebody can say, well, this homeless guy, you shouldn't help the homeless person because they might buy alcohol or maybe they're able-bodied and they should just get a job. But sometimes it's better to be kind than right because there may be one day you find yourself on the flip side.  So just remember it can happen at the table's turn. Wherever, and you see that, people with billionaires go to zero. People with millionaires go to zero. There's that basketball player, what's his name that used to play in the NBA? And now he's had a lot of mental problems. What's the guy's name? I think he played on the Dallas Mavericks. What's the guy's name? Yeah, Delante West. Example, like Delante West was like, you know, Delante West was literally a multi-millionaire. If you have an NBA contract, man, you're rich. Even the basic like low ball rookie contract now. And now he's homeless, but he's like washing cars or something like that. But that's how the game goes sometimes. So anyway, I'll leave you with that. And you know, that also extends to yourself. Sometimes it's better to be kind to yourself because depending on your, there's some people here that are very easy on themselves, but some of you are probably very judgmental of yourself and you're like, by this age, I should already be here and make this my money and blah, blah, blah. And a lot of people give up and a lot of people are like, yo, man, I had this plan. I was supposed to have a family or people get divorced and they're like, that's not how the plan was supposed to go. And so you gotta be kind to yourself sometimes. I mean, sometimes you gotta be tough on yourself and push yourself to be disciplined. But you also, there's a time to just go, could have done better. Hindsight's always 20, 20. Every single human, everybody, even the greatest, if you say, oh, Elon Musk is the greatest business person. I promise you, if you sat down with him, okay, and said, did you do it all right?  In fact, first time I ever heard Elon Musk speak was at this little fireside chat in 2011 or 2012. He wasn't that well known. And I remember the one thing I remember taking, I didn't know who he was. My friend, Brian's like, you wanna go hear this dude out of Silicon Valley who sold his company and has this new car company, he sold PayPal. I was like, maybe I have Tesla. And I said, sure. And I went to this fires in Santa Monica, California. I remember Elon Musk going, man, this is the toughest experience I've ever had. He was very traumatized. And even recently, he's like two days ago. So I think hindsight's always 2020. You have to be willing to forgive yourself for your mistakes and be kind enough to yourself. Sometimes you should be judgmental on yourself, but sometimes you gotta let it slide. You gotta let it slide once in a while. And because if not, the regrets build up to such a level that you get paralyzed and you lose all confidence in your future abilities to act, to take action, you know what I mean? So you look at people and you think they've done no wrong. And a lot of people are freaked out in this world about you'll look back and realize, don't sweat the small stuff and almost everything's the small stuff. Some of you are dealing with crazy real pain. Like this guy here who's got five kids, disabled wife on a payment plan for past, you know, rent due. Five kids is tough to raise. I mean, think about that.  That's what I was talking about kindness to yourself.  Does that make sense? So what's the last book? What is the last book here? By the way, a good thing for yourself is turn off the social media, except for Speak Easy, my app. Stay on Speak Easy, I'm biased. But when you start feeling down and out, get off social media unless you're watching a specific thing. Like sometimes I'll watch a specific YouTube video. You know, I'll watch a very, very specific one. Like, I don't know, Tony Robbins or something when I wake up, but when you find yourself scrolling through the feed, I'm telling you, I talked about the book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. One of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People are a be proactive. And you're not being proactive when you're scrolling, watching TikToks. Or you're not, that's the opposite of proactive. You're reactive. Does that make sense? So I think it's important that when you find yourself lost, lost confidence, you think you're at the worst moment in your life, get proactive. That can mean anything, except playing video games, except locking yourself in a room and being depressed. I've had that when you don't wanna get out of bed. You gotta, you have to figure out how to do it, whatever it is. Drinking energy, Jane. I mean, that's the only time, like I eat pretty well, but when I'm not, when I'm under stress, like have a piece of candy. I know people say you shouldn't, something to get you out of bed. And then you live to fight another day, like that billionaire told me, that you try to kick the problem down the street another week. Don't say, well, I'm gonna give up unless I solve it all today. Money takes a while to solve. The average millionaire, forget what you're seeing on social media. I'm telling you. My mentor used to say, Ty, it takes the average millionaire 12 to 20 years. And so a lot of people are seeing social media and you see a kid who's 21 years old and they're a millionaire and they're like, I started last week or last month or last year. Like that's not the real story. So your finances is something that comes in order over time. And even then you can make a mistake.  Like I was saying yesterday, the famous quote is, somebody misquoted, I saw somebody post it, fate is a fickle mistress, not mystery, somebody put it. Fate is a fickle fortune, I should say. Sorry, fortune is a fickle mistress.  And she walks away, that's life. And that's a lot of friends are that way. All your social media for the most part, you people, if you have a lot of followers, the crowd will turn on you in a second. Elon Musk is the most loved man now. Trust me, that crowd will turn, nobody will like Elon Musk in six months. If he does X, Y, if he fails, that's what I said. So when it comes to you making money or getting out of your situation, don't put all your eggs in the money basket because fortune is a fickle mistress. And so you gotta have other things. That's why I tell people, whatever you do on your journey, don't let go of your close friends and family. You gotta even if you're on the rise because those are hard to rekindle and if you ever lose your fortune or whatever it is you want, now where you're gonna, you have nobody to go back to.  So you have a safety net. And a lot of the problem in modern society is interesting is in modern society, people have no safety net. And because people have no safety net, then you're really in trouble. The world used to have community. The world literally used to have community. And so if you got sick, like this guy Anthony got COVID, if you have no community, modern world in 19, I think it was like the year 1900, they estimated that 90% of the world lived in small villages or in the countryside or on a farm and 10% of the world lived in big cities. The problem with big cities is they're very anonymous, right? And so one of the problems is now when people face trouble, they're oftentimes in this little teeny circle and not enough people to help them. So the world's flipped in the year 2000, 100 years later, the world flipped to 90% of people live in big urban areas and only 10% of people live rural. That's why I'm a big fan of like living on a farm. I have a farm. It's like you always have, you have real people, your neighbors show up, something goes wrong, you're there for them. It's a missing element. And I'm not sure humans, I don't know what'll happen in the next 100 years, but I don't know that humans are gonna do that well if we become this kind of cyborg. I mean, I like NeuroLink concept, Elon Musk, but we're just in like, I don't like the whole metaverse concept. Metaverse, good. Humans are gonna just live in a metaverse. Humans are gonna just live in a metaverse.  And so I think I hope 100 years from now my great grandkids or your great grandkids aren't living in some Tokyo like world. No offense to Tokyo, by the way, if you're watching, but it would be a horrible world if the whole planet looked like Tokyo. Like we need some rainforest, we need some national parks, man.  And there's all kinds of weird stuff where people are totally disconnected from reality, you know? They have places you have to rent a room to like take a nap and breathe fresh oxygen. My grandma was very bothered that humans would buy water. My grandma, she lived in 102. She's like, I will never buy a bottle of water. She's like, when I was a little kid, you know, she was born in 1918. She's like, Tywin, I was a little kid. You could drink water pretty much most places, but she's like the thought of buying water, like what has the world come to? Now you got a world of buy water.  They're buying like fresh air. There's parts of India now in multiple countries where you cannot breathe the air. Like air used to be free. I'm going, what in the world? Now the good news about that, I'm not an alarmist. Parts of America have way more forest than we've ever had before. So I think someone said, where's the link to the app? It's just getspeakeasy.com will take you or you just go to Speak Easy Live in that store. So I don't know. Everybody's always concerned about the future, but people are talking about World War III. Poland got hit by two missiles. Turns out to be the Ukraine. People are blaming Russia. But I think that it's important buy yourself a little piece of land, whatever you do. When you make your first couple hundred grand and you don't even need that if you're in other parts of the world, buy a little two acres or something, put a little, even if you don't live there full time, put a little cabin or a mobile home. They build these little teeny houses that you can build. You know, those little teeny houses, stick those up there, learn a simple skill, learn how to chop wood. You never know, the world goes in hundred year cycles. Did you know that? So think about this, 1918, 1919, 1920, the world had a flu influenza. What happened a hundred years later, almost to the day? Boom, another global flu epidemic. So what happened in 1929? Global, it was a global, really before 1929. But in the United States, you had the crash in 1929, you had a huge recession. What's a hundred years later? This decade, you could have a, that's why I said, for all the skills that you build, and I'm a fan of building e-com and social media skills, all the modern skills, you should have a super basic skill.  You can grow enough, one acre of food will grow enough food for you and your entire family, permanently, forever. An acre of land is an insane amount of land, especially if it's somewhat fertile, and assuming you have decent water or rainfall. So that's a simple skill to build, man. And in doing so, you also build a different life. I love the city, there's a lot of good things. There's a good book called, Where Good Ideas Come From, from just a great, it's a great book, Where Good Ideas Came From. And so big cities have more creativity happening in them. Okay, they have, because there's like an interplay of human brain power. But that's the good thing about big cities, a lot of innovation, a lot of creativity, networking, but there's also a downside, you know what I'm saying. One weird thing is like, I feel like TikTok now has taken over as like the worst people on earth. Is that, I remember when it used to be YouTube was the worst people on earth, and it was like Instagram was the worst people on earth.  So I don't know if it's because it's basically the most popular platform now. Now Twitter is pretty high up there for some of the work. Twitter may be the worst. I would say TIP Twitter is the most toxic. Even Elon Musk who owns it now is like, he's like, I own the most toxic. But I think TikTok, TikTok is a winner if it's winning for the most mental illness. So I shouldn't say the worst people, but the most mentally ill. Yeah, I'm telling you, it used to be YouTube. I don't know what happened, YouTube cleaned up. I don't know what they did. I think Google put some kind of anti-bullying preventions in there.  They probably boost all the people that are insane. Twitter is, Twitter, man, Twitter is the app I've deleted the most and redownloaded. I'm now more on the delete Twitter game. Twitter, you know what somebody told me? They said, Ty, any news you really need to know you'll hear from somebody else. That's one of the smartest practical pieces of life. They're like, don't watch the news because anything that's actually important that you should know, somebody will tell you, one of your friends will text you. And if nobody tells you about it, it's not important, it's not. And the human brain is not really made to know global news. Knowing global news is nonsense for the most part. The average person cannot help the Brazilian rainforest. Brazil has to work on that. I'm not saying nobody should look into the problems of other countries, but there's a ton of problems with people interfering with other countries. We don't, I don't know, people ask me my opinion on Ukraine. I'm going, I've never been to the Ukraine. Am I supposed to speak as if I know?  There's all kinds of problems. So I think that it's one of these games where, hold on a second, I just did something lovely. I gotta remember to do that. TikTok, you gotta definitely turn off the comments on TikTok.  I feel like the worst people find a new platform. I feel like they're gonna go back to Twitter.  And the next thing you realize is that you wasted years of, I mean, if you, the average person, I forget the numbers. What, what do you think's the number? Hey, Siri, how many hours do people spend on? Hey, Siri, how many hours do people spend on TikTok per day? Dude, 45 minutes a day. So let's just add this up. It's pretty insane. Let's say the average person does that. So 16,000 hours a year, just, and that's just the average. You know, there's binge, that's counting people who barely check it. So 273 hours. So the average person, yeah, it's just insane.  So you don't, when people use the 24 hour console, you don't have 24 hours in a day. That's a worthless metric. So if you spend one hour a day realistically of your free time, so you got work, you got physiological things, you got to take a shower, hopefully, eat food, right? So you do the math on this thing and you start spending an hour when you might only have three hours of free time per day. Spend one third of your life making the owners, you know how rich the owners at TikTok are now? That group that owns that app, it's probably controlled by the Chinese government. They make wacky money, same with Facebook. You know what I'm saying? So that's what one cool thing about Speakeasy, you can send each other tips right through the app. It's pretty cool, we can easily do that. Instagram kind of added that, but those of you who start making content on Speakeasy, you can build a community. Like you can, people now have to use Patreon and all these things. They have it all built in, so it's way better. You can do, it's not quite like only fans, but only fan that made people rich, man.  All right, any last quick question before I head out? I stayed longer than I wanted to. Yeah, we have one guy who kind of waited and I put him in the Q&A. Okay, Simon? Yeah, Simon. What's up, Simon? To turn it on to the bottom of your screen, little microphone button. Hey, Ty, what's up, man? How are you? Doing good. Yeah, actually thanks, I won $75 the other day in your trivia. Okay. So yeah, it's real, people, don't worry. Did you get sent, did they, did you do crypto or how'd they get it to? No, she messaged me actually. Okay. I just didn't get back to her. I actually asked her, I was like, hey, can I like ask Ty a question instead of sending me the money? And she was like, no, we can't do that. She has too much time, so I was like, okay, that's cool. Then I saw you were live here and I was like, okay, well let me try to ask him a question right now actually, so it kind of worked out. Sure. So yeah, my question for you is, and by the way, I'm on your daily mentor calls too, so those have been really, those have been really, really cool. I like the Models guy. He was super cool. I liked his talk and your developer, I think he was in Latin America at the time. Yeah, he was, that was really, really cool. He talked for like probably two hours on that call. That was awesome. That's awesome man. Yes, I was going to ask you, so like, from e-commerce, you know, I see, like I kind of see what you're doing. Like, you know, you have Pure One and bodybuilding and all that.    Like if I were to advertise a table on Facebook, I feel like it'd be difficult for me to sell it, but if I was selling like, you know, like a thing that helps you, yeah, exactly. Have you ever heard of ClickBank? Have you ever heard of ClickBank? So like if you go over anybody watching here, it's just a quick way you can learn to start making money.  Basically you can sell other people's product and that some of these affiliate payouts on ClickBank will pay you like up to 70 to 90%. So that is going back to your question before I jump off is if you can learn some basic, so like here, like click, and I don't own ClickBank by the way, so earn up to 150 bucks a sale, right? That's, so you go through there and you can sort them. They've paid out over $5.5 billion to affiliates. It's pretty good. I put my products and then like you said, find a high-appetite impulse-type product which could be solving something, pain is a big one, people have pain, people who, whether it's emotional, physical, and then learn how to make video ads, because then you run a video ad to the ClickBank funnel of the affiliate and if you dial in a funnel that's decent, you can literally take Facebook ads and just crush. You can use a redirect URL. Sometimes they'll let you, you can grab, you can build your own email list. So this is say for example, you find an affiliate who's selling a weight loss system whether it's like a fitness trainer or something and he'll pay you $100 a sale for every single person you send. So you create, I actually watch Facebook ads. I make sure like I like Facebook ads or Instagram, I'm not on Facebook much, but Insta ads, I bookmark it and they start showing you more and you look at how many views they have. Sometimes I've run into some Instagram ads that have 10 to 20 million views on them. That means that that concept converts really well. So then you go, if they're on ClickBank, if you find a product like that on ClickBank, you make a similar ad. Don't copy it exactly, make your own version but you can get inspiration. I'll give you an example. I saw on ClickBank this hair shampoo and they had this dude who was probably, I don't know, 60 years old, but had a full head of hair. His hair was all white but it was like a full head of hair and he was talking about how this shampoo changed his life and he had before and after pictures. I mean, I have all my hair. I got a full head of hair. It's a little messy right now but I was like, I'm gonna buy that shampoo. I don't even have balding. And that's how good the ad was.  And I was going, whoever wrote that ad, so if you can build that one skill, you can make money in e-commerce without having to actually run the store.  They'd like to say up to 150. So let's say your CPA cost per acquisition, you can get an ad at 75 bucks. You're arbitraging that for 150 bucks. You're making 75 bucks. Every time, even if there's just five sales a day, you make five times 75 and a good ad will not burn out for about three months, three to six months.  So they're like a movie trailer. You know, movie trailers are very simple. They take the best parts of the movie and they like quick jump cut. And you can learn to do video editing so easy. There's a trillion pieces of open source software. There's a million YouTube videos. You learn how to make these little jump cut videos and you just learn how to do a hook at the beginning. Like that guy was like, I was losing my hair. And then he was like in the shower. And then he's like, and then I found this one shampoo and he had a little science to it. It's like, this has biotin or whatever, put a little scientific thing.  So, but the point is, if you're driving that to somebody else has to fulfill the product, you're making 75 dollars arbitrage. If you can build it up to 10 sales a day, 750 bucks a day. Even if it runs out and most of them will burn out, like I said, in 60 to 90 days, you make money and then you make another ad and you make a new variation. And I did that a lot. And I did it for my own products, but being an affiliate is like, if you know how to make video ads, you as an affiliate, you can make bank. I mean, a lot of people ask about like Tate. What do I think of Tate? He's a master of like these little quick video ads or little quick video cuts. So, yeah, learn that skill. I'll talk about that more if any of you want to go to tileopas.com, you can join the little mentor program that I have. We do every Wednesday. We do training on different ways to make money online. So, good. All right, I got to go because I got to fly in the morning. So I'm going to California. I haven't been in California in a while. I got to head back to California for actually going for a charity thing. And then I got to do a business meeting. So I'll be in some of my old stomping grounds, tomorrow. Thank you all on Speak Easy, Jen, Zach. Hello. Hello. Thank you for having me. I appreciate everybody who was a guest. Thank you, all 12 of you. Thank you. All that we had. I don't know how many people came on the show, but it was probably about 1,000 people come through and across all the platform for about 2,000. Actually, it's insane. When I look at the numbers, like 10, 20,000 people watch this trivia show. Not everybody stays the whole time, but I'm hungry now. Try to do a hundred push-ups every day. Just break it down, five little trunches of 20, then do your one-legged squats. Get a little crunches in or reverse. You can do reverse crunches. I actually, unfortunately we're always said those were better. Where you lie, right? You can do pistol. You do those? I try. It's so hard. Reverse crunches?  Oh, no, I mean pistol squats. You know how to do pistols easy. Pistols is an advanced exercise. One of my friends, guys, I look up to Greg O'Gallagher. He's like the master, but don't, man, a lot of people you're gonna blow out your knee trying to do a pistol squat. So you can do a one-legged squat where your leg goes backwards. That's a way easier. Pistol squats are where your leg's forward. That's an advanced move. Don't be, people are gonna, you know. Okay. Yeah, I hurt myself doing that. Yeah, don't do that. We need...


et's get started. Next slide. So more than a year ago, the council did identify council compensation and a potential increase in council compensation as an issue for consideration by the Charter Review Committee. And the Charter Review Committee did take that issue up, held three separate meetings over the course of a number of months, I really dove deep into the issue. Really the two concerns about current council compensation, first is that the pay really does not reflect or respect the extensive work and responsibilities undertaken by council. And then second, the concern is that the current pay doesn't adequately allow for full diversity on the council and in particularly diversity in economic situation. So it's very difficult that the current pay for families with young children to join the council. Individuals that have lower paying occupations or individuals without separate means of support. So those are the primary concerns or other concerns that are identified, but really to open the doors for additional candidates for council. So the Charter Review Committee did recommend a Charter Amendment after all of their examination of the issue. And that recommendation was again for a Charter, for an amendment of the Charter to place a measure on the ballot to amend the Charter to tie council member salaries to the area median income. And the proposal that the committee made was that the mayor would receive 100% of the area median income for a three person household and that council members would receive two thirds of the area median income for three person household. The council took this up last fall, last summer, determined, was very interested, had a lot of lively discussion about that proposal, decided in the end not to move it forward in this election cycle, but to put off consideration until November, until the November 2024 election. So where does that leave us now? Next slide. This you all well know because you are council members, currently a salary of $800 a month, total of annual salary of 9,600. And what we heard from the, during the Charter Review Committee's deliberations was that council members generally are working about 20 to 30 hours per week. That's really about, that equals about 85 to 130 hours a month. So considerable amount of work for $800. And also the significance and importance of the work. The mayor currently receives a salary of 1200, as you know, for a total salary of 14,400. And everyone agreed that the mayor's position is easily full-time as those of you who've held that position well know. Next slide. I know in the past we've gotten questions about this. So I wanna acknowledge and be very upfront. The council members also receive benefits. Those benefits are essentially the same types of benefits and volume of benefits that other city employees receive. So it's not exceptional. Those benefits include health, vision, life insurance, long-term disability retirement and a couple of others. And the value of the benefit varies depending on the person's, the number of people in their household, their choice of plans and so forth. And the value ranges from between 19,400 to 33,700. So next slide. So the concerns about compensation are still, a present still valid. And so we've been asked, the Charter Review Committee looked at a lot of different options. One option was let's work within what the current charter provides. So we were asked to bring forward a proposal to increase council compensation in accordance with the existing provisions of the city charter. So the baseline is section four of the city charter, which addresses the council and talks about council compensation. Section four allows the council to provide compensation to council members and the mayor in accordance with the provisions of state law. It's state law, references state law that governs general law cities. And before we start looking at those provisions of state law, the second element of the baseline is that section four also provides that the mayor will receive a compensation equal to 150% of that paid to the council members. Next slide. So now turning to state law, state law provides a schedule for council compensation based on city population. For a city the size of Santa Rosa, state law provides for an initial council member salary of $800 per month. And Santa Rosa city council adopted that $800 per month salary by ordinance as required by state law in 2005, so 17 years ago. And the council's made no adjustments to that salary since that time. Next slide. So state law sets that initial salary, but state law also allows the council salaries to be increased up to 5% per year. The 5% is a flat rate, not compounded. We've talked about that before. So for Santa Rosa, for the council members, it's $40 per month increase is permitted annually. And the state law, the annual 5% increase can accumulate if it's not immediately applied. And so given that the council has not adjusted the salary for 17 years, that 17 years worth of increases has accumulated and can be applied now. Next slide. The final element is that adjustments under state law, adjustments can be made only when at least one council member begins a new term. And so we are at that point now next week on the 13th for council members will begin their new terms. So this proposed ordinance in front of you today for introduction. Number one would make these adjustments that are allowed under the city charter and state law and it would make the salary increase effective on December 14th. Next slide is simply the calculation, how that works out. So we start with 800 a month. We add $40 a month times 17. That's a $680 a month increase that equals $1480 a month. And for council members that would total a salary of 17,760. Calculation for the mayor based on the city charter, we use the 150% measure. And that equals monthly salary. I'm sorry, this says monthly council salary. That should say monthly mayor salary of $22,220 a month for an annual salary of $26,640. And that's it. Next slide is happy to answer any questions. Council member Fleming. Thank you, Sue. I have a question about the only at the time when new council members or council members start a new term. Would that mean that let's say next year at this time we wanted to increase again for the, because it's $40 a year, would we have to set forth that today so that it would increase again then when it's legally allowable or would we have to forego that increase for 2024 and then could only increase it thus then by $80 in starting in 2025? Right, your second version. We cannot, the council cannot agree to an automatic increase in the future. You could, but you, it does, it can only go into effect when there's a new council member that takes a seat. So you could anytime next year adopt a new ordinance to increase council compensation but it would not be effective until 2024. But I would not recommend trying to do that now because of the restriction against any automatic increase. And when you say 2024, you mean the beginning of 2024 or the end of 2021? It would be when a new council member takes a seat. So barring, let's not have a vacancy on council. We've already done that a couple of times. We've had very good results, but I just, let's not go through that again. Barring a vacancy, an unexpected vacancy on council. The next election is in 2024. So the next time that you can increase salaries is when those new council members take their seats. And at that point, you're exactly right. It would be an $80 increase at that point. Okay. It's just really interesting that state law has those two, that little thing in there. It seems like a hiccup, maybe an unintended little bit of the law. It is an odd way that it's structured. I'm not sure what motivated that. So, and again, in 2024, the council can decide if it wants to take up a charter amendment. If you take up a charter amendment, you can structure it any way you want. Thank you very much. Council Member Rogers. Hi, I have one question and one point of clarification. My question would be, because this is effective December 14, 2022, would that mean December would be prorated for the current council members? That would be my question. No, it's prorated beginning on the 14th. It can only apply to the council members that are on the council at that point. So, apologies to the two council members who are departing. And then my second, not a question, but a point of clarification, the value of benefits. For me, I would think range between $0 and $33,000 because some council members choose not to partake in the benefit package at all. So that would make them out of zero, right or wrong? That could be, there may be some of the benefits that, I know that you can waive your health benefits, your vision, your dental. I'm not sure about some of the other, the long-term disability and some of those other benefits, but it may be that you can waive those all, in which case the value would be zero. Thank you. Any other questions? All right, let's go to public comment on the item. If you have a comment, go ahead and hit the raise hand feature on your Zoom. Do not see any hands. Do we have any prerecorded voice mails? There are no prerecorded voice mails. All right, I'm gonna bring it back. Council Member McDonald. Thank you, Mayor. I move the ordinance at the council of the city of Santa Rosa to increase council compensation in accordance with the provisions of section four of the city of Santa Rosa, city charter, sorry, and waive further reading of the text. Second. We have a motion from Council Member McDonald and a second from Council Member Rogers. Any comments from council? Let's call the vote. Council Member Schwedhelm. Aye. Council Member Sawyer. An exuberant aye. Council Member Rogers. Aye. Council Member McDonald. Aye. Council Member Fleming. Aye. Mayor Rogers. Aye. That motion passes with six ayes with Vice Mayor Alvarez absent. All right, thanks Council. We'll go to our last public comment for non-agenda items matter. If there's anybody who'd like to make a comment on something within our jurisdiction that was not on the calendar tonight, hit the raise hand feature on Zoom. All right, seeing none, we'll adjourn. Thank you, Council.


Today is about putting together the full throw. One of the things you can do is warm up with your kneeling throws. You can take a few of those. You can take your up and overs. You can do the stand throw, right? We can go through that so you get a total of maybe anywhere from 68 throws in that range to get your body moving. We're working on mechanical positions. They're gonna feel uncomfortable. That's the point of the pillar drills. We're trying to find those movement pieces that are kind of off and then train that piece, train that piece and then put it back into the throw. And what you should see is your throw coming together in a more complete fashion and it's easier to do because the pieces don't add up. So when we just try to put together a motion but the position parts are incorrect, it becomes very difficult and it's a slower process. We're gonna have our athletes start here. We're gonna set our alignment. We're gonna set the angle. And what we're gonna do is we're gonna see, we're gonna drop like our pillar three. So as we drop, we reach and we feel that. So we move into this position and now you're gonna notice that I'm moving into that pillar five position. I have a sideways pillar three four. So I'm dropping the chest and the hip, sliding this kick leg out. So I'm gonna feel this and then I'm gonna feel myself landing on that angle so I can drive out into the throw. Now, what we do for the sake of simplicity with a side shuffle is we start with the hand up here. So we basically start at this point, shoulder level and we create the angle to elevate the arm. We don't necessarily lift it up and put it across. We're gonna do this. So we're gonna start here. We're gonna bring it down. We're gonna scale and we're going to separate. Now we're gonna set the angle which lifts this up. We're gonna go pillar three, drop and slide. We're gonna push and then we're gonna land in our elevator squatted position and then we're gonna block, arm stop, push, heal up, push and drive the hip out so that we feel this motion. Pretty straightforward. So again, let's look at that really simple. Set it up, scale and separate, okay? We're going to drop and slide, push and we're gonna drop into our elevator and then we're gonna block leg, block, arm stop with this. So we're getting back to that motion again, that motion. Boom, boom, squat straight down. We're gonna turn this foot to about 45 degrees. We're maintaining the hips so we hinge. Notice I don't turn the hips and so what I do is I hinge to about 45. I bring the chest forward on an angle here so I'm in that point of pillar two and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna wind on the angle. I can't set back up. I'm on the angle so you'll see this line here. You'll see how my hips are generally centered. The knee is not pushing this way. I'm straight down, turned, upper body comes over and then what it does is it forces the long radius, right? And so I feel this and Tyson Jones who threw 71, eight and three quarters multiple times and won New Balance Nationals in 2018. We had a point in the fall where we probably spent about three weeks where that's all he did was pillar twos. He just got feeling that pillar two position, pillar two position, the timing of how to keep everything moving and driving in and that's what set him up for that really good consistency dozen throws and competition over 70 feet. So very consistent. Again, we're gonna review. The pillar two is quite simple. We squat straight down. We turn the foot to 45, we angle the chest out and then we get here and we open. We wind on the angle so we feel that hip lock like a kneeling throw and then we work the arm around. So we're gonna feel the hinge and you're gonna feel that. Now I'm on balance, heads over the knee. I'm on double loaded legs. I'm gonna be able to turn through, turn through and lift. When it comes to the glide shot, don't bend at the waist. That's the kiss of death. You screw up the alignment angles and you change the trigger on your pillar one and it becomes very difficult to set up a dynamic throw and move with speed. One of the other things is, is the arbitrary kick leg dominant where we're not understanding the action between the drive leg. So the kick and the drive working together. That's how we create that double extension. So you wanna avoid bending over and you wanna avoid the pull in and just being kick leg side dominant. The last thing that we wanna really avoid, like we said, is that shoulder, that hand carry position. That elbow should be here. Carrying the shot in the right position is super critical for that. We talk about that a lot of times people come in. In fact, today I had a new athlete come in and the athlete is holding doing the glide with the elbow up here and the elbow needs to be down here so that we can be in this position and we're gonna be able to hit that nicer elevated line. If it's here, there's more of this kind of artificial arching lift and that's not gonna work. Even if I'm here, that's not gonna work. That elbow needs to be here because it's a straight line, this comes out of the way. If you again, we look at our top throwers in the world, we look at all the best gliders, seems to still be more gliders on the women's side than on the men's side. And I suspect that over the coming years that that's gonna be changing just like it has in the men's shot. So at any rate, take a peek at those throwers and look at what I'm saying. Hopefully that structure works and those three tips work for you if you'd like detailed information that starts to discuss the differences between the discus in the shot or more information, check out our website, aeratathrosenation.com. We've got a whole bunch of free resources there for throwers and you can get more information. Remember again, like, comment, subscribe, give that subscribe button a nice big hit. Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video. This video we're gonna discuss is the inverted C or the C back we still hold by the inverted C position. When you look.


The symptom of a parabola leads to a useful result that two ordnance to a parabola be given. The squares on the ordnance are to each other as the lines cut off on the diameter. So if we take our conic section, we'll draw some parallel lines through the section, and remember the diameter will bisect all these parallel lines. So let's draw a few lines ordnance-wise. Then the squares on the ordnance are going to be to each other as the lines cut off from the diameters. So here we might take our ordnance as x2, and the line cut off from the diameter is y2. And here the ordnance will be x1, and the line cut off from the diameter y1. And so we have x2 squared is to x1 squared, as y2 is to y1. Now in Latin, to cut off is apsindere, so we can refer to the cut off lines as the abscises. Because these symptoms provide a relationship on lines within the figure, Apollonius can use them to find the tangent to the curve. Apollonius proves, conics book 1, proposition 17, if a straight line is drawn from the vertex that is parallel to an ordnance, that line will be outside the conic section at the vertex. This is equivalent to giving the tangent to the curve. We leave the proof for the viewer. What if you wanted to find the tangent at a non-vertex point? For a parabola, Apollonius proves, let AC be a parabola with diameter AE and vertex A. If CE is a line drawn ordnance-wise, and AE equals AF, then CF touches the parabola at C. To prove this, Apollonius supposes that CH somehow sneaks back under the parabola. Let's extend GH ordnance-wise to D on the parabola. And to avoid getting lost in the geometric argument, we'll let AE equal AF equal A, AG we'll call E, we'll call GHH EC y1, and GD y2. Now because ACD is a parabola, the squares of the lines drawn ordnance-wise are to each other as the abscissus. So E is to A as y2 squared is to y1 squared. But since GD is greater than GH, then y2 squared to y1 squared is greater than H squared to y1 squared. Which means that E is to A is greater than H squared is to y1 squared. Now because CE and GD are parallel, we have a couple of similar triangles. And so by similar triangles, we have H is to y1 as A plus E is to 2A. And so H squared is to y1 squared as A plus E squared is to 4A squared. And so that tells us that E is to A is greater than A plus E squared is to 4A squared. Now we can rewrite this proportionality as E over A is greater than A plus E squared over 4A squared. Then cross multiplying and simplifying. But note that E is greater than A. And this means that A plus E is greater than 2A. So A plus E squared is greater than 4A squared. Again, since A is greater than E, 4A squared must be greater than 4A E. And so A plus E squared must be greater than 4A E. And so this inequality is impossible. And that means this line can't drop under the parabola. And a similar proof shows that the line will not sneak under the parabola before it arrives at the point C.


Welcome to another Tickle and Charter with me, Patrick Munley. I want to update the dollar switch here in the 4-hour time frame. In the last analysis we were looking at this 5-rate sequence completing. We did so into the 92-66 minimum upside objective for the 5th wave extension there. We have technically completed a baby scene corrective pattern here. The question there is are we going to see a more complex correction, i.e. a double correction whereby we correct against this decline into I would say this 92-35 area. There are short positions looking for a test of the 90-88 objective. However, if we get a move through 92-80 we want to be on the long side because that suggests this corrective move has completed. So we are going to try this plan, try to plan, let's do this.


According to childhelp.org the United States has one of the worst records among industrialized nations losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect. Judy's Place for Kids held a telethon at the Mountain Art Center to raise funds for abused children in multiple counties around eastern Kentucky. I met with Laura Kretzer who is the executive director of Judy's Place for Kids to find out how much was raised and how these funds will help abuse children in our region. We had a wonderful event on Wednesday night at the Mountain Arts Center that offered children telethon and it was a great time to have some entertainment. We had Coldtown Dixie. We had William Nelson. We had Nick Jamerson. All donated their time and talents and then we had lots of community partners talk about the work of Judy's Place for Kids and so at the end of the night we were just over 22,000 dollars in donations which was wonderful and then we've had a few donations come in since then and so we are at about 24,500 so we just need a few more donations to meet that 25,000 dollar goal. The money really goes to make sure that children in our area have access to everything that they need to heal from abuse and so part of that is to have expert staff who are well trained and know what to do so we have forensic interviewers, we have victim advocates, we have medical providers and so it helps make sure that we have all of those services at two different locations Pikeful and Prestonsburg. The other thing that the funds do are really make sure that we can grow our CASA of Eastern Kentucky program and that stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. So Court Appointed Special Advocates are volunteers who get to know all about a child who's in family court due to abuse or neglect so it takes a lot to be able to promote that program in the community and then to have well trained staff members who support those volunteers who train those volunteers, supervise them, meet with them on a regular basis and then go out and find more volunteers. Some of the funds do help caregivers bring their children to Judy's Place with transportation costs and help out with emergency needs like that. We need donations all year round and so we've tried to make it really easy that on our website at judysplace.org you can even set up just a monthly donation and so even $25 a month, $10 a month makes a huge difference over a year's time. I would encourage if anyone really has a heart to care about abused children and wants to get involved more just to call us and talk with us about what it really means to be a COSF volunteer.
