And with that, I welcome Brad to The Dare to Dream Show. It is so amazing to have you here. How weird. That's so great. Well, thanks, Debbie. Thanks for having me on, Dare to Dream. And yes, I do, Dare to Dream. And maybe we'll dream together this show and all the cool things that are going on in the world and we can highlight them. Oh, that sounds amazing. I'm totally in.  And I've certainly done some in my life, but I've got one of those spirits that really longs to see the country, the world after doing seven continents. And I know some of those were extensive for you. Do you still have the bug at all? Is there any place you have not been? Oh, gosh, yeah. I've only been to Egypt and Africa. So still have a whole continent there to explore. And I'd love to go back to Egypt as well. And there's still a lot of places I didn't get to see there, even spending a month there. So there's just so many places around the world. Boy, I probably will spend my rest of my life going to new places. But you also mentioned domestically, and I should point out to people that trips around North America are fantastic, too. There is so much to see and do. It's an incredibly beautiful continent. We're both on the West Coast. So we know that just up and down from Cabo San Lucas to Alaska, this is one of the most dramatic coastlines and coolest places I've seen in the world. That's so true. And most people don't even know I live in a suburb in Los Angeles a little bit more suburban than LA out in the valley. When you drive up North, it's spectacular. For me, I need to pass San Francisco. I need to get out of the city. And then the higher North you get, it's God's country. And that trip alone to go all the way to the Oregon border, all the way to Vancouver is really worthwhile, spectacular. And right now, it's time to do it. This is road trip season out West here. Even into our Indian summer in October is really gorgeous out in California. Yeah, we're very fortunate. That's such a new. I'm originally from New York. That's a big New York term in Indian summer, which for folks who don't know, that just means the weather extends sometimes into October for sure here. And we keep those that summer heat going so we can have more of that. So speaking of travels, I know that you explored ancient Peru. And I'm I just finished a six month shaman class, which was connected to the lineage of the Incas. And I'm the caros and I'm deeply into it. So I'm curious about that when you were there in Peru, were there lost technologies that you discovered and forgotten civilizations that you unearthed? Oh, yeah. Well, to give a short answer, absolutely right. I was there with Nessim Hariman, who's a real cutting edge new physicist. And Brian Forrester, who knew all about the elongated skulls and the megalithic complexes and how many of these giant with the elongated heads were buried right alongside many of these megalithic sites, suggesting that they were the builders. And Peru, especially in the Sacred Valley, as it's called, where Cusco is and offshoot is Machu Picchu, has the most amount of megaliths per square mile than any other place on earth. There's just so many that you drive by in the bus or I bought a cart. I bought a Ford expedition that I was camping in my partner at the time. And we were just driving by. There's so many, you just don't even notice them. If you took one of those minor megalithic sites and say put it in North America, it'd be the biggest national park in our country. But down there, there's just so many and terraces up the sides of the hills where they've been wild and not tended for many years. You just see that this had once been a very high civilization in this particular area called the Sacred Valley of Peru. And what did you take away from it? Did something change for you while you were there? Did you have an experience or a process that really altered you? Oh, yes. And just to backtrack to your previous question about lost technology, that's really what impressed me, that there was also clear evidence of the moving of these megaliths, some of which weigh 70 tons at the site of Asakusa Hwamen, which is just above Cusco in this particular area of Peru, that even cranes, modern cranes today would struggle to get them from the quarry to this site. And then the way that they are so perfectly fitted together that we started talking about ways that matter can be manipulated. And one of those that Nassim Haraman was talking about is this process called cold plasma. And it basically renders hard material, such as stone, into a softened stage. And he was proposing that the ancients who build many of these megalithic sites had this ability to soften the stone. And that's why you get these such precise fits with all these very odd angles that would be very, very difficult to chisel and then put into place and have such a precise fit. The other lost technology that we discussed was the movement of these megaliths. As I said, even modern cranes today would struggle to move some of these larger stones. So we are looking into the possibility that these ancients had a form of technology described as auditive levitation. And that's using sound and vibration to also render an object weightless. So just as an example that I often talk about in my presentations at conferences, and I do a whole presentation on the mysteries of South America, think about how a opera singer can shatter a wine glass with just her voice. That's only sound and vibration that does that. There's no projectile hitting that wine glass. It's just her voice. So this is a very strong possibility that a lot of the megalithic sites, not just in Peru, Bolivia, but around the world, the blocks were moved using this technique of auditive levitation. How do you imagine that? How do you envision that? I completely understand what you're saying, and I really appreciate the fact that sound, frequency, and vibration has been around for a long time and has been used way more advanced in the past. So how do you envision that they actually were able to use it? Was it something that came from their mouths, an instrument? Was there a technology that emitted the frequency that made it into the coal plasmid, took hard into soft, and then also was able to move it? Any clue? Sure. Well, a really good clue is a location in southern Florida, in Homestead, Florida, called the Coral Castle. And I visited that location built single-handedly by one slight figure named Ed Lee Scalion, and he single-handedly built this whole megalithic complex called the Coral Castle. Some of the stones there weigh 33 tons. Other tall stones that he placed into the ground as a form of using as a sundial are 20 feet tall. Now, how does one guy alone build such a complex? And when asked, he would only say that he knew the secrets of how they built the Great Pyramids. And a couple times, little kids would spy on him because he would work in the middle of the night and move these megalithic stones. And they would say that he would hold these two cone-shaped objects in his hand. Perhaps they were frequency devices. Perhaps they would match the resonant frequency of the block to render it weightless because the kids would say he would do this. And although many of the blocks also had levies and pulleys and cables attached to them, but he would just move them so effortlessly and put them into place while holding these cone-like objects. So there are some secrets that went to the grave with Ed Lee Scalion. But the Coral Castle is the only modern age megalithic building in the world. The only one that was built in the 20th century. So it's kind of a lost art form, Debbie. And I think we're slowly putting the puzzle pieces back together and getting a clear idea of how these credible megalithic buildings around the world were constructed. All right. Do you have any interest in following the rabbit hole and figuring out, are you working with anybody who can figure this out? Well, like I said, Brian Forster is in a lab or he's in the field and Nesim Herriman is in a laboratory and there are other people working together. And the great thing about being a speaker at all these conferences is I get to meet a lot of these people. I get to know them and watch their presentations and collect some of the latest information that's coming out. But this was all just revealed five years ago when I was down in South America on my way to taking a sailboat over to Antarctica. Amazing. And while you were there, did you get to work with any shamans, any indigenous medicine people? Yep, sure did. Got to do an Iowa Oscar ceremony. That was pretty incredible. Copa Gabana, Bolivia, right on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Incredible lake. Just so beautiful, highest and largest alpine lake in the world. It's so big you can't even see across the longest section of it, which is over a hundred miles. And it's a giant volcanic caldera that collapsed. And so it's very deep lake as well with many islands. And on those islands are also megalithic buildings. And this was the birthplace of the Incan people. They believe that they came out of this location on the island of the sun and then populated the South American continent with the Incan people and culture. Yeah, and they're amazing people too. There's almost virtually no disease there. I mean, people die of old age, but they don't have what we have here of cancer and heart disease and being overweight and diabetes and et cetera just doesn't exist. And part of that is because of the plants that they ingest and the relationship they have with nature and the world and the unseen. And I find that culture fascinating. Really incredible. So fascinating. So great, you did ayahuasca there. So did they. Yeah, I threw up, but that's kind of comes with the territory. And it was with a bunch of people from our travel group that went through Peru and Bolivia with Brian Forster. Adam Apollo was there as well. And I was one of the guest speakers. So it was an all-star lineup. And five of us were at contact in the desert this last June. And so we'd all see each other. It was kind of a family reunion. Everybody's in great spirit to see each other. And not too far away from Peru, while it's in Ecuador actually, is Vilcabamba Valley. And you mentioned longevity and no diseases. That location has one of the highest statistically longest living age people in the world. And is that a blue zone? Why? Well, this particular area, but they found out that the water that people drink that comes out of a spring is clustered water molecules. So when looked under the microscope, they have beautiful symmetry of clustered water. And it turns out this clustered molecule in the water is very healthy, very good for the body. And it turns out it's found at a lot of other locations in the world, including Lourdes, France, which is this spontaneous healing location. And when tested the water of Lourdes, which they use for ceremony, communion, baptism, so forth, and drinking is incredibly helpful. And it's this clustered water. So once again, here's science finally catching up to what a lot of the ancients knew or were just using and feeling pretty good with it. Dr. Emoto out of Japan, he did a study. I cover this in my esoteric series of books. It's in Future Esoteric, where he did experiments with people who would curse the water. You're so ugly. You're terrible. You're bad water. You're polluted. And they'd look at it under a microscope. And it was very chaotic that the molecules were all over the place. But then when his subjects would praise the water and say, oh, I love you.  You do so much for us. They looked at the exact same water flew out of the same source. But the love molecules were beautiful. They were like snowflakes. They're perfect symmetry and all these beautiful patterns and stuff. So it just shows that the power of the mind is very powerful. And we can affect the world around us with our thoughts. Oh, perfect. I love that you said that. Because of course, as metaphysicians, we all agree with what you're saying. We're taught this. We feel the truth of this. And okay, we create our reality. And then we're led to this undeniable and inspiring conclusion. Oh, well, if that's so, then it's actually all in my hands, right? It's all in our thoughts or beliefs. So taking that concept is the future of humanity as far as you're concerned at stake. And if so, do we hold the keys? How do we use the keys to open the door? Well, I guess to sum it up very succinctly, the two most profound words of the ancient world were written on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi in Greece. And those two words are know thyself. And I think the biggest enigma since ancient times is just to know who we are and know the powers that we have. And I have also a chapter in futurist terror called superhuman abilities, which is basically all these innate abilities that we all have that we've just not been taught or trained to know how to use. But once you know about them and you could start exercising and working on them, then you can actually start to have your own superhuman abilities. So it really comes from within and it comes from this whole saying know thyself. And once you can start to master your own mind and body and world around you, things will change for the better. What are some of the gifts that you have? What are some of the gifts that not everybody's connected to but that you are aware of in you and that you utilize? Well, I can't say that. Yeah, that I've mastered all these superhuman abilities that I write about. I'm just very fascinated with them and in my own way working on them through meditation or just practice or thoughts. I just, I like to exercise a lot. So this kind of helps keep me young and vibrant and being able to travel and do the things I like to do. But also this whole notion of joie de vie. This is a French term for the joy of living. Just be happy with what you have and go and enjoy a nice meal or go watch the sunset and hang out with your friends. Last night I was on the beach in Lake Tahoe and a friend of mine was DJing and doing a static dance and it was just so awesome, incredible, watching the sunset and being around like-minded people. So little things like that can really put you in a better frame of mind. And you really have to be in a positive frame of mind for a lot of these other superhuman abilities to kick in because really you have to be up in the love, vibration, compassion, generosity with also, yeah, just the higher emotions rather than if you're down in fear and anger and hatred, it's not going to work. It won't work. So you have to bring yourself up to these higher levels and that's where Joie de Viva, the joy of living comes into play. Yeah, 100%, yeah. I also find that joy and surrender go very nicely. This detachment about this is what's happening, isn't that perfect? And something more divine will come in just to allow a flow. It seems to be a great magnetizer for more wonderful things to come in, keep filling up that cup. That's a good reminder. And was there a trip, Brad, where you experienced a site somewhere in the world where ancient peoples once gathered to perform sacred rituals and ceremonies, where they were worshiping various gods, they were achieving spiritual enlightenment? Is there a story you have about that? Oh, yeah, sure. Well, there are many locations that I went to that that bill. But I'd say the most profound was the great pyramid of Egypt, where I did a couple things you're not supposed to do, Debbie. So I'm just going to chalk this up as youthful indiscretions. I climbed to the top of the Great Pyramid, was one of them. You're not supposed to do that. How did you do that? Well, so I know that the eyes are temporarily blinded when it goes from complete darkness to bright light. And so I went up on the Giza Plateau on a full moon night. So there was enough of that light, but they were doing the sound and light show. And I was the partner I was with. I said, I really want to climb the Great Pyramid. I got to try. And so I walked around the base of it. And at one point I tried and got shouted down and they shamed me. What are you doing? Didn't you see the signs? Get out of here. All right, sorry. Started walking around and then they stopped following me and they thought I was just beeline it back down the way I came in. And I looked around and there's no one watching me directly. So I went back up to the pyramid. And right at that moment, the sound and light show, which had been bright light on the Great Pyramid, the light went off. I'm like, this is my opportunity. And I just started scrambling up the blocks. And they're about as big as a washing machine. And I'm a real tall guy with long legs. So it wasn't a problem for me to go one to one to one to one. And then so about one third of the way up, the lights came on again. And I just kind of walked away in one of the shadows and didn't hear anybody shouting me down. And then lights went off again. And I made it up two thirds of the way. And then after the, I made it to the top. Yeah, it was incredible. And I'll never forget it because I saw a little mouse up there. I'm thinking, well, how did this thing get up there? You just kind of ran around. So I spent about a half hour up there. It's really beautiful, incredible to see the darkness of the Sahara Desert to the west and then the lights of Cairo and along the Nile River. So that would, that put me in a good position. And then when I toured inside the Great Pyramid, the other thing I wasn't supposed to do was lay down in the sarcophagus in the king's chamber. And that was the actual initiation point. I'm not sure if you saw the forbidden archaeology panel I contact in the desert, but here I am sitting right next to Graham Hancock on one side and Linda Multmahau on the other. And the conversation turns to the Great Pyramid. And I said, yeah, I did this. I laid down in the sarcophagus, but made note that among the first archaeologists to examine the Great Pyramid found this white powdery substance near the sarcophagus in the king's chamber. And I think it was the archaeologist Petrie or perhaps someone else. He had the foresight to package it up and send it back to the UK. And then some years later, they tested it. This white powder that was found inside the Great Pyramid found out that it had come from ingesting monatomic gold. And out through the sweat glands. And but the monatomic gold trace elements were still there. And that was what the white powder was. So they're using monatomic gold. And I have a whole chapter in my book Beyond Esoteric about how you can use this and how the ancients use this to take them to the next level of some of these deeper meditations. And you can basically leave your body after a while to be able to remote view or ask for travel. This is fascinating. So I've been on the periphery of this gold, which is a white powder, and I purchased some. And I think I started playing with it. Yeah, just stopped. You know, you have so many healthy things around. But more recently, I would say the last three months, every time I've got this amazing, healthy smoothie I make. And now every time I make it, along with all the incredible ingredients in there, I have been sprinkling the monatomic gold in it. And so tell us more about what we can do with this, how it assists the body. And it sounds like also spiritually, how we can play with it. Yeah, I've I've tried some too. I don't think I got to that state where I could consciously leave my body with it. But perhaps you have to do it more frequently and more rigorous different kind of training that go along with it that the ancients once used. I should just point out that whenever someone from the western world, especially in the time of the ancient Greeks, such as the historian Solon went to Egypt, he went through the initiation program. And I think he probably would have used some of this monatomic gold because he was absolutely changed when he came back out. In more recent times, you have people like Napoleon, who spent the night in the Great Pyramid, the King's Chamber, as well as Alistair Crowley, who said he communicated with great aliens while in there. So just just the fact that you're inside this pyramid, which basically the literal meaning of pyramid means fire within. And you can look on YouTube and see videos of just the fact of creating a four sided pyramid focuses energy from within through the top. So the clearly the ancients knew that too. But in my dabbling with the monatomic gold out of friend who got some for me, you don't get high. You don't feel anything in any way. There's no psychoactive properties to it at all. It's just kind of drinking, putting it in a drink. Or if you tasted it, it's not appealing. It's just kind of like dirt or something. It kind of is because this monatomic gold, what that means is mono one atom. So it's very, very small. And it's so small that it can sometimes even transit to air that it's not always a solid because it's just one atom, mono atomic gold. So it's a new kind of gold. And it's it's actually white in color. It's not the yellowish gold that we're familiar with. And so it's a whole different kind of substance. And I really would like to re examine it and try it some more and do it properly, perhaps in ceremonial fashion and see what that does and what that feels like. Let me know. I might join you. That sounds amazing. Wow. And is there anything else you did while in Egypt that only we should know about and never tell any of the authorities in Egypt? Well, that was back in 1993. So I think I got the statute of limitations behind me. But well, another cool thing I did was I rode a horse from the Giza Plateau down to Sakara, which is step pyramid about 25, 30 miles away. It was a pretty good hike. We were both pretty saddle worn when we got back from that trip. But I tell you, along the way, Debbie, we saw all kind of different pyramids, including the bent pyramid, which is just clearly built in an inferior fashion. You look back and you look at the great pyramids, and they're just so symmetrical. They're so perfectly formed. And then other pyramids, isn't it? What we know is Fibronacci, but yes, OK. There are other pyramids that are just rubble piles. So it occurred to me, how is it that these pyramids, like Sakara, are, well, that one's older, but some of these ones, like the bent pyramid, are newer. How did they lose that precise building technique of the great pyramids and created these other ones later on that are just rubble piles? It should go the other way around. It should be that you start out with archaic versions of a pyramid and then your apex of knowledge. You're building the great pyramids, right? But it didn't work that way in Egypt, nor with all the megalithic buildings. So the farther back you go, and the classic example is the Osirion in Abidos, Egypt, a massive megalithic temple. That's the one that has what look like flying machines or submarines or helicopters in the hieroglyphic carved into the stone, as well as the flower of life. That motif with the 64 petals, the sacred geometry, not carved, not painted, but laser etched into the stone using some kind of high technology to put it in there. I've got an image of it in the description in my book Modern Esoteric that goes into a lot more detail of Abidos and some of these, but that being one of the oldest temples in Egypt. So once again, the older you are in Egypt, the more megalithic and the more precise in the building and the more mysteries as far as the carvings go. So Egypt is really a major enigma on this planet where they got the technology so early on. I believe it's really an offshoot of Atlantis and it's called the Osiris Empire. Those were the survivors of the last high culture on the earth before some big earth changes. We've heard about it with Noah and the flood, but modern geographer and geologist would describe it as a pole shift when the continents actually move plate to tonics. And this is a world changing event which completely redraws the map of the continents. Some rise, some fall, and then others change their characteristics altogether. So this happens more frequently on planet earth than a lot of people are aware of, only every 20 or 30,000 years. So we could be getting ready for another one. The famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, he was doing scuba diving in the Yucatan, going down those sinnetus, those deep water chambers, and sometimes even going down in a submersible, like in a mini-sub, and discovering way, way deep in some of these underwater caves that the stalactites and the stalagmites were at a 45-degree angle. They can only form when they're in cave form, and then they are straight up and straight down. It's dripping water, it's the minerals that collects, that creates that. So when Jacques Cousteau found these at a 45-degree angle, he said this is evidence that there was pole shift, and that it shifted the ground, so created that 45-degree angle, and flooded those caves that would have normally had to have been dry to create the stalactites and stalagmites. So there's a lot of around the world that this does occur fairly recently. I followed, you mentioned Graham Hancock, and I followed his series that was recently on Netflix, which was, I thought, amazing. And I love that he bucks up against conventional archaeology, and he's a voice for now. And he shows us, through going to these sacred ancient sites over and over again, that this rebirth, if you will, of the planet and of societies and countries has happened over and over again. And which countries they happen in, and what goes underwater, and what comes up out of water, and just incredible stuff. It basically rewrites history as we've been taught, and shows us there was something very different going on all this time. Worthy, really worthy conversation. And I know you mentioned, Brad, that you love exercise. You've traveled a lot. You do things to keep yourself young, and clearly, if you've done Aya, you're an open guy, an open-minded guy. So what about extreme adventures? Have you had anything in particular that is outside of Egypt that was dangerous that was really extreme that you were successful at and challenged by? Yeah, it's funny, you used that term, because I did two books called Extreme Adventures, Northern California and Hawaii. I lived in, actually, I lived in Lahaina, the city that got burned for seven months, and did a whole bunch of adventures throughout the islands. Yeah, it's so sad. But also in Northern California, where I lived for about 30 years, mountain climbing into the top of the, some of the biggest mountains out west here, and big-time skier every winter, and get a ski pass. So in the off-season, as I call summer, I'm always training and exercising for ski season, because it's really a sport of stamina. Skill is involved, of course, but you've got to be in good shape to really enjoy, say, a good powder skiing day. And yeah, when you're knee-deep, and it's the best conditions, and you know how to do it, I tell you, it's like dancing on clouds. It's just one of the greatest experiences you can have in a sport. Are there, is there anything about the planet's history that really reflects what's happening currently? Any events about this subject that is coming up yet again, or influencing yet again what is happening today? Hmm, well, a lot of people don't know that there's a new Hawaiian island being formed to the south of the big island in Hawaii. It's called the Lohai Seamount. So someday that's going to rise above the surface. But I know you could take a boat trip out there, and oftentimes the bubbles are coming up from an underwater eruption, just like on the southern part of the big island, you can go to Kilauea crater and actually see a live volcano. It's pretty amazing, in fact. This is something that is literally, this is the ocean, this is a land mass that is literally the bubbles are because it is slowly making its way up. And is that because the ocean is, although I thought the ocean was getting higher with the heat on the planet, what's happening there? It's not really. I was just living in Santa Cruz where the famous beach boardwalk is, and there's ocean levels exactly the same. What's going on in Hawaii?  It's one particular area in the middle of the North Pacific that is always erupting. And as the plates, the tautonic plates move, that takes the Hawaiian islands out on that trajectory. And even beyond Kauai and Niihau, the oldest of the eight Hawaiian islands, well, there's a whole string of islands that keep going on and on and on, all the way out to Midway, about a thousand miles away.  And let's see, I think I'm going to sway away for just a moment from the travel because I love all of that. But let's get a tie in here because I also really love UFO conversations. And I know if you're in contact in the desert, you're a super open guy. And if you're friends with Adam Apollo and all these other people, I know you speak the language. Is there any new UFO intel? I'm going to start there because I have so many questions around that. But is there new that we don't know yet? I'm always looking for the cutting edge for the deep, for the unknown yet that you're privy to. Oh, gosh, Debbie, it's coming out in a pretty steady stream. Remember, we would always say that disclosure was just like a little drip, drip, drip. It's flowing pretty good. But I have to wonder if there might be some ulterior motives to be releasing all of this. So let's just go back a little ways. Two, three years ago, we got the TikTok video, the Pentagon admitting they're tracking UFOs. They're watching them. They're still very vague. We don't really know what they are, but they travel in incredible speeds. They utilize the technology that we don't have all the way up to this year, Debbie. Then you have Lester Holt on NBC Nightly News in May, reporting on the mainstream media that there's a mothership in our solar system. It's just hanging out there by Jupiter and the Pentagon says they're watching it. Well, how is this the biggest news story in the world? Why aren't we still talking about it? Why aren't we zooming in on that mothership and getting some information about it and telling the people of Earth? It's always like a one and done. They'll report on something just absolutely fantastic and then be done with it. So then you get a lot of these home videos of Vegas where people are seeing aliens in their backyard. And then the most recent one is down in Peru a few weeks ago where a very, very remote area in the Amazon jungle, that these tall gray white beings that they call the face peelers that they had abducted and mutilated people of the tribe. So a girl got taken and she told the men, she somehow escaped and said, they're out there, the face peelers go get them. And they went with their guns and they're filming. It's pretty dramatic stuff, but it's interesting that the mainstream media is picking up on these stories and you think, well, why now? You've had 75 years to tell the truth since Roswell. Why all of a sudden that you're going to start reporting on this stuff? And I think there happens to be some kind of ulterior motive and that is this whole notion of a fake alien invasion that this project Bluebeam, which has been on the drawing board for decades, even Werner von Braun, one of the Nazi paperclip scientists that got brought over here after World War II told his assistant Carol Rosen that the final play before a new world order, a global government, global currency, even a one world religion.  And it just makes me think that the media reporting on this now is predictive programming, that they're putting it into people's minds, they're desensitizing the people so that if they did do this fake alien invasion, like Werner von Braun said, it's fake and it'll always be fake. And you got to tell people that they're going to make this play someday. And there was also a CIA agent way back in the late 1980s. I wish I would save that video or remember this guy's name. But at the end, he's in a playground. If you saw it, you probably remember it. And he's like, I wish I could tell all these little kids the future that they have planned coming for them. They don't know what's going on. But he predicted Project Bluebeam in 2024. So that's only a couple months away. And it seems like everything that's going on in the world right now is also a setup for this fake alien invasion, anything pertaining to UFO disclosure, especially as it comes through the MSM. Huge, huge. So is it your contention that the fake alien invasion is so that advanced technology can be revealed? What are the details on this? That's interesting.  In fact, I'll be in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks at the alien event. And I'm a panel moderator with super soldiers, transhumanism, and other things. And one time I was on a panel with super soldiers and Captain Randy Kramer was on there. Yep. And the conversation went to Project Bluebeam. And Randy Kramer said he is the official spokesman for the military who is advocating Project Bluebeam. So I said, Randy, how could you possibly advocate this? Is going to be collateral damage or loss of life? He said, but we have so much technology now that has been gleaned through backward engineering. They don't know how to release it to the general public. So he's saying they want Project Bluebeam so America could show off all this hardware and go in and save the day and kill off these invading aliens. Who's the invading aliens? What's that all about? And he said it would be the insectoids. He said that they have volunteered for this because they're all of a hive mind and they can actually rapidly clone and reproduce themselves. So they don't look at the sacredness of life, I guess is the way to say it, the same way that you and I do. They just like, oh yeah, if we get blown up in a fake alien invasion kind of scenario, we'll just be reborn again through the hive and it's not a big deal. So if we roll out all our high technology, if we have this war with the insectoids, it'd be very realistic. Some of them will be actual battles and blowing up ships and to say we're all in our backyard watching it and a big reptoid arm comes flying down and lands in the backyard. Well, that would be pretty darn realistic.  But there would be the motivation behind it to initiate a lot of these globalist agendas. And I do outline quite a few of them in my esoteric series of books, especially in beyond esoteric, the newest one in a section called neo-fascism, the whole first section outlining the plans of these globalists to take over the planet and enslave us all in a transhumanistic world. And oh, there's just so many vectors that come into play. We could spend a whole show talking about it, but maybe better people to check out the book if they're interested in the subject. Yeah, so in light of all of that, assuming that is all absolutely accurate, then how would we distinguish the fake aliens and technology, not technology, but how would we distinguish the fake from the genuine, the real UFOs, the real extraterrestrials? In fact, the benevolent extraterrestrials, because we do have star nations, star brothers and sisters, who love us, protect us and look after us and that we're actually related to, right? So what's the discernment there? And they're watching us too, and they're very interested in how this all goes down. I've been told that this is the greatest show in our universe right now. There are many species who just want to watch, who just are just fascinated with this period of ascension, because really earth humans, we're at this precipice where we can shake this yoke of oppression and move on to a golden age, or we get locked down and oppressed like Orwell's worst nightmare. So there are a lot of these ETs that just want to see how this plays out, but then there's some who will intercede in a very subtle way and whether it be through telepathy and communicating with people that are open to that, or, well, for example, I'm reading Barbara Massiniak's Bringers of the Dawn, which Pleiades and Messing. Great book written back in the 80s. Boy, still so relevant today and given such a great history of the earth and where we're at and the potential of joining these benevolent people, entities, once again, at a galactic table and rejoining with them. But right now, this is a very dangerous planet. They look down at what's going on here with all the wars and famine. We can't even feed our own people every night. One-fifth are going to bed starving. Nuclear technology. So it's like the planet of the apes. Yeah, and squashing all the technology that we could use to make this a better world. And just quite fascinated with this dilemma that we're in. In fact, it's even called Earth's Dilemma. And it's the humans either rising above and being able to resist this coming neo-fascist agenda, or we're going to go into a very dark place. And I don't know if I want to be reborn here on this planet anymore if that's that way. I feel you. Oh, my goodness. What big shoulders we had to take this on. It is. Oh, yeah. But we volunteered for this mission. We did because we were bringing the light also. You know, that's our job. You're bringing the wisdom, the information. I shine the light on people like you and so forth. And the jobs we play are important, right? The spiritual and enlightened and aware community. And OK, so you took us a little bit into that when you were talking about this panel that you moderated and that you're going to moderate. And that sounds really interesting, this alien event. What about the secret space program? Is there new information on that? And where do we go from here? What's possible? Boy, what's not possible I think is a better way to frame it because really we could be living in our Star Trek future. Just keep in mind that Gene Rodberry who invented Star Trek. It was humans who was doing the exploration of planet Earth. Yeah, Spock and other aliens factored in. But it was always humans that were doing the exploring of the universe for scientific and reasons that they want to do. Gene Rodberry was getting channeled messages in the 1950s when he was being inspired to write the screenplays for Star Trek. He was sitting in on the Council of Nine in Los Angeles and they were famously telepathically communicating with Earth humans from our future. And they were basically telling what this Star Trek future was going to be like. And of course you have to be a peaceful society to be able to travel in such a way, especially through wormholes and so forth. I was reading in a great magazine out of Australia called Nexus Magazine about the early trials of our own astronauts to go through wormholes and basically use some of this backward engineer technology to try to travel these long distances in a short period of time doing a shortcut around the speed of light. And this Nexus Magazine article is saying that these craft could physically get up to 9 tenths of speed of light. And that is the point when your physical body basically turns into energy and all that you have to guide this ship. And this is what they're trying to train their astronauts to do was your consciousness. So if your mind knows the roadmap and knows where to go, that you can go through these wormholes and boom, just right out in Alpha Centuri very short time later. But the problem that they were having with these astronauts in this training is that they were not of a Buddha mind. They were not of an enlightened state.  And so the craft would get up to the gate, right to the entrance of the wormhole when they were entering the stage of pure consciousness and just bouncing right back. They couldn't do it because the astronauts were not trained properly. The astronauts were not like these other ETs that can do it that are so much more advanced than we are. So this is what I'm saying with the superhuman abilities. This is the potential of the human race to start learning all this stuff. I mean, wouldn't it have been great if, say, in kindergarten we started learning about the energy chakras in our body and first grade we started using telepathy. By third grade we're bending spoons with telekinesis and fifth grade we're astral traveling together to other planets. So we're just not being given the information we need to be able to utilize this incredible potential within all of us. Wow. One of the things in your bio is this 26 day expedition through the frozen land of Antarctica that you went on so bravely. And you are going there in search of extraterrestrial craft and also remains of ancient civilizations. How did that turn out for you? Were there anomalous structures that didn't appear to be naturally formed that you found? Well, so I went down there for a 26 day expedition, 15 full days in Antarctica along the northern tip of the Palmer Peninsula. It's basically where South America comes down and the Palmer Peninsula sticks up. It's the shortest distance from any continent to go to Antarctica. So yeah, I went down there with a litany of different subjects that I wanted to look into and possibly discover. You got to just understand that Antarctica is a huge continent. It's the fifth largest of the world. So the distances are very vast. It's over 99% covered in ice. So everything you need, you've got to bring in with you. So that makes travel there very expensive, especially to try to go overland and say, check out the pyramid sites in the Shackleton range. I know where all these locations are. I've seen them on Google Earth and many of them are shown, which is quite the paradox because other locations, and I show this in my presentation called the Hidden Anomalies of Antarctica, they just put a Photoshop screen, this big white rectangle, and don't even attempt to use a Photoshop tool to mask the surroundings. There's no, you're just not seeing what's here. So there is something being hidden down there, and that's probably some of these subjects that I was looking into, massive hole in the ice to pyramids or anti-delivian civilization, as well as giant mothership craft. Like Lester Holtz reporting on NBC Nightly News, but trapped in the ice of Antarctica. And supposedly there are three massive craft. They're so big they're over three miles across, not in diameter, but across. And they've been known about since the 1970s, and our intelligence agencies nicknamed them the Nina Pinta in Santa Maria. And I have been able to locate one of those that was being unearthed in the year 2013. For some reason, Google Earth was allowing this to be seen. And you can go in the Wayback Machine and look at 2013, the Conan base, K-O-N-H-E-N, I give the GPS coordinates in my talk. And there you see some kind of excavation of some massive type of craft underway.  It was just sort of a whole bunch of poles where the ices and winds swept over. But in 2013, they were digging something out. And this has been known about for quite some time. In fact, I would even venture to say that the Nazis went to New Schwabenland and claimed this particular area because they saw this craft under the ice. And I just love it when I can get connecting data points. And in this case, the Farsight Institute, which are remote viewers that can pick a target or use a GPS location and just go there, travel there with their minds. And they went into this craft and said, oh, it's massive. It was built for very, very tall, giant-like entities. It's old, it's decrepit, it can't fly again. But it is this relic. It's one of the Nina Pinton Santa Marias. And so in an indirect way, I didn't get to go there. I would love to go there. But in an indirect way, I've been discovering some of these hidden anomalies in Antarctica. Yes. And I'm aware of what you're referring to that during Nazi Germany. I've followed a lot of that history that shows that they were using alien technology. They were building craft. They were going to use it. And they were stopped, thankfully, in their tracks. And that there were things that were buried. There were caves formed in the ice there and places where they were harboring all the craft and I'm sure scientists, et cetera, laboratories research. So the things that you discovered, Brad, was that beyond, way beyond the Germanic craft, that these were also actually indigenous alien craft. Well, do you want to call indigenous of Earth being an alien craft? But they have been on quite some time, yeah. Yeah. And I would love to get out and see it. And I have an idea where the other two are. One of which is Linda Bolton Howe and her whistleblowers put it in the Beardmore Glacier area. Spartan 1 and 2 and Brian S, who was doing flights to South Pole from McMurdo Station. He also reported seeing the massive hole under the ice, not too far away from the Amundsen-Scott-Soltz pole station. Any important secret agendas happening on the planet right now that we should be aware of that we would, should we know about them, want to escape their confines, want to wake up to our individual and our collective potential instead? Oh, boy. How many agendas are there? So many. There's just agenda after agenda because each extraterrestrial group has their own agenda too. And some of which are very dependent on Earth as a healthy living system. For example, there are some ETs that would come to Earth just to collect a rare beetle in the Amazon jungle. It's all they wanted to do. They just want to get the DNA out of there for some reason. It helps them. But most are really concerned with what the Earthlings are going to do. So for example, when we detonated our very first atomic bombs, that was a warning bell that rang throughout our universe. And a lot of extraterrestrials came here to see what was up. Wow. Okay. They're like children that found a pack of matches in a very dry forest and they're lighting the matches and throwing them around how soon until a disaster strikes. So we're kind of right on the precipice, Debbie, between being able to use our very... humans are very smart, clever people. We know what is right and what is wrong for the most part. And most of us want to see us ascend and go into this golden age. But there's others among us who are psychopaths that are doing all the negative things that we hear about so much that are starting to come up. And it's good that we're hearing about this because it has been hidden in the shadows for so long and only by really exposing it and discussing the ramifications of what they've done for so long can we have a truth in reconciliation like South Africa did after apartheid and just move on. That's what I hope we will see in the future is the mass arrests and rounding them up and giving people justice. And we can't be... we can't stoop down to their level and use frontier justice and just hang them up from the tree but give them their day in court and then let them sit in a jail cell for the rest of their lives and think about what they've done. Because we are all spirits in a human body and we'll come to that conclusion. Science is already telling us this but once the mass amount of people know this then you're just going to be as good of a person as you can be because you realize when you do expire it's not going to be Saint Peter or God or anything else judging you. It's your own life review. It's you reviewing your life and if you've done more good in the world than bad then your circumstances will be better if you are to come back to earth. Or have a choice if you even want to be reborn here again and all of that is contingent on what you do in this lifetime and being the best person you can be and being charitable and generous and helping people out. Being in service to all that is the distinguishing feature of many of these extraterrestrial groups. Some are in service to self and they have an agenda and they're the ones doing the abductions and the catamulations and things like that. But most are in service to all but they don't want to directly interfere with the earth. That would go against this prime directive that was also popularized in Star Trek. But it is a real universal law in that when you have an evolving civilization such as earth you got to let it evolve on its own. Let the free will people of the planet make their own decisions and that's where we find ourselves at right now. Planet of free will, humanity of free will absolutely and what a huge lesson that is unto itself. I know Brad that people can find your books on your website bradolson.com. Tell us where we can find you, what you're up to, what's next. Well all that on bradolson.com but if you wanted to check out the books that's another website cccpublishing.com and if people order my books then they go to my office here in Nevada and I can send them out a signed copy. And where are you you said you're going to be at this alien event? Where else can people see you and hear you? Yeah and all my conference schedules up on bradolson.com. So alien event in the middle of September in Vegas and then the very following weekend will be in Mount Shasta, the light of Shasta conference and then in October I produced the How Weird Street Fair on October 14th and the following weekend I'm flying out to Orlando, Florida for the Galactic and Spiritual Informers connection. Great big event with Alex Collier, Michael Sala, Elena Denon and quite a few other luminaries in the field. I'm very honored to be asked to speak there again. That's beautiful. Well Brad this is Dare to Dream. What are you next Dare to Dream? What are your future dreams and goals? Well gosh Debbie I'm kind of kicking around the idea of taking off this winter either going to Southeast Asia for a couple months. Love it there. Great part of the world. Or maybe driving down to Mexico for a couple of months. But I got a ski pass so I might just stick around and ski. We'll see if it's another monster ski season like it was last winter that'd be worth sticking around for. But so I'm just developing a ranch that I bought out here in Northwestern Nevada and working on that. So I'm Dare to Dream that I'll put in a tiny home village and start doing some conferences and small events festivals on my own in a couple years time when it builds out. So that's what I'm Dare to Dream. I love that. I love that. It truly is the time for that for healing centers for retreats for places of community and gathering. I'm feeling the call for that myself very strongly. So yeah I send you lots of blessings. I'm developing that land and making it into what you really want, what will serve you and whomever comes your way. Thank you so much for coming on the show and for all that you shared. It's beautiful to connect with you. Oh well thanks for having me on Debbie. It was great to connect with you too and next time you come to the conference and if I'm swarmed at my table just make your way through and I'll grab you and take you behind the table and we'll get to hang out. I would love that. I promise to do that next time. I won't just look from afar because we do end up at a lot of the same events. So that is a deal and again folks you can find him at bradolsonolsen.com or ccpublishing to get his books. It is worth it. I've read all the reviews. They're phenomenal and I end today's show with this quote. Through journeys of travel and exploration we unveil the spiritual tapestry of the esoteric unknown finding that even in the depths of the universe's mysteries we are the true UFOs seeking the extraordinary within ourselves. Subscribe to this number one transformation conversation the weekly dare to dream podcast with Debbie Daschinger. Please leave a comment share this and you know I read them all and get back to you. Next week on the show the guest is the amazing Dr. Brad Nelson and we're going to be discussing one of his many books the energy codes. Thank you folks for joining us today and remember don't just dare to dream dare to turn all your dreams into your reality.

I think what's really exciting about the work that we do in HyperStudio is to explore the possibility, the potential of digital media for learning and research in the humanities and social sciences. Digital humanities is not only an emergent, it's an exploding field. And in terms of the future trajectory of digital humanities, there's clearly an aspect of working with very large data sets. This is something that's very popular right now, and we need to understand what are the right tools to do that. The HyperStudio answers a really profound question. We've digitized amazing amounts of newspapers, books, films, videos, sound, now what? What do we do with this digitized material? And the HyperStudio is all about both developing tools and, with those tools, developing new ways to think about those data sets. Basically, they're allowing us to push the questions that have driven the humanities since, you know, for the last 1,000-plus years. They're allowing us to take those questions and push them in whole new directions. So HyperStudio has developed a number of tools, especially tools that allow very interesting data visualizations. One is, for example, a timeline. And timelines have been used for centuries, and they're very interesting timelines. And when you look around on the web what's available, they're very standard timelines. You know, it's always the linear timeline. But we see those tools as enabling tools to represent the data and to constantly modify the way you can visualize and represent the data. One project that we're working on is the U.S.-Iran project. It's a diplomatic history project about the missed opportunities between the two countries. And there are perspectives. For example, there are timelines and dates that are relevant for the Iranian side. But there are dates that are relevant for this process from the U.S. side. And if you can juxtapose these, you can immediately detect, for example, where are the gaps, because dates that are important for the Iranians might not be important for the American side. So around these moments in a data set, you can discover moments that are relevant for further research. For example, we have a project with the history department here at MIT, Jeff Ravel, who is a theater historian. And this is a project that we're doing in collaboration with the Committee Francaise in Paris. By representing the performance dates along a visual line here, one can immediately detect two gaps in the performance dates. So one immediately asks the question, what happened here? Why is there such a large gap? Well, it turns out by pulling in other kinds of information, it was actually the death of the French king Louis XV. Visualizing that in really interesting ways over time allows the scholars, the students, to gain very interesting new insights. In the humanities, we have to be the ones who influence the technical development, because we want the tools that are helpful for us. We want specific humanities tools that work in additional environments so that we can actually do the research and the teaching and the learning that we want to do and that are necessary for the humanities.


What you're seeing now is my normal state. This is a Super Saiyan. I'll just go take all these kills.


The P block elements have some pretty interesting properties and in this video We are going to look at one such property briefly, which is the oxidation state Now briefly because honestly, this is a huge topic to study oxidation state And we will be able to do complete justice to it only when we study the individual groups in detail So what are we expecting from this video? Well, we will see how oxidation state varies across the P block and Why certain elements are more comfortable or stable in a particular oxidation state than the others? So to understand this, let's look at one of the groups of the P block Let's begin by looking at group 13 elements and their electronic configurations So what is common in the electronic configurations of these elements? Yes, they all have the same number of balance electrons That is two electrons in the s orbital and one electron in the p orbital That makes a total number of valence electrons in group 13 as 3 Now obviously because these elements have the same number of valence electrons or the outer electrons They also exhibit similar properties Now the reason I'm talking about valence electrons here is because it is closely related to the oxidation state And how is that? Well, you see oxidation state refers to the ability of an atom to undergo oxidation or reduction That is it is a total number of electrons that is gained or lost by an atom during a chemical bond formation Now when an atom loses electrons to attain stability, the oxidation state becomes positive And when it gains electrons to attain stability, the oxidation state becomes negative, correct? So coming back to a question, how is oxidation state related to the total number of valence electrons again? Well, you see the maximum oxidation state an element can show depends on the total number of valence electrons Now in the case of p-block elements, the total valence electrons is nothing but the sum of the s and p electrons, right? For example, if you go back to the group 13 elements again You will see that the maximum oxidation state any element in this particular group can show is a total number of valence electrons Which is nothing but the sum of the s and p electrons That's again 3, that means these elements will have to lose 3 electrons in order to attain a stable electronic configuration Now remember folks when we say lose or gain electrons to attain stability This is purely based on how oxidation state is defined as we know It is a hypothetical charge that we assign to an atom assuming that the atom forms only ionic bonds Now this is important because you see boron just as many other elements in the p-block does not lose electrons You know, it does not lose 3 electrons to form b3 plus ions. It actually shares as electrons But still while assigning an oxidation state We assume that the bonds that boron or any other atom forms to be completely Anic in nature and that it attains stability by gaining or losing electrons All right. Now that's enough recap about oxidation state Now coming back this maximum oxidation state for a particular group is also called its group oxidation state And every group has its own specific group oxidation state depending on the number of valence electrons As we just saw for group 13 it is plus 3 For group 14 it would be plus 4 because it has 2 electrons in the s orbital and 2 electrons in the p orbital For group 15 the group oxidation state would be plus 5 because it has 2 electrons in the s orbital and 3 electrons in the p orbitals And so on But you know what? All the elements within a particular group need not have only this particular group oxidation state In fact, p-block elements are known to have multiple oxidation states For example in group 13 the elements show plus 1 oxidation state In addition to the group oxidation state, which is plus 3 Similarly in group 14 the elements show plus 2 and minus 4 oxidation states in addition to the group oxidation state Which is plus 4 now can you think of a compound where carbon exists in minus 4 oxidation state? How about ch4? Yes in methane carbon combines with a more electro positive element like hydrogen and in this case Its oxidation state becomes minus 4 Whereas in a compound like co where it combines with a more electro negative element like oxygen The oxidation state of carbon would be a positive plus 2 Now if you look at group 15, can you name a compound in which nitrogen exists in plus 5 oxidation state? How about nitric acid? Yes in nitric acid nitrogen exists in plus 5 oxidation state Whereas in most amines or ammonia nitrogen exists in minus 3 oxidation state And just like nitrogen phosphorus also has many compounds in which it exhibits plus 5 plus 3 as well as minus 3 oxidation states So basically as you go across the periodic table or across the p-block the elements tend to show more number of oxidation states Now in contrast to s-block element, this is a very significant feature of p-block elements That is to show variation or variable oxidation states In s-block elements, we know that group 1 always shows plus 1 oxidation state Whereas group 2 elements always show plus 2 oxidation state But when you come to p-block, you will see that the elements tend to exhibit multiple oxidation states Now before wrapping up this video, I need to bring your attention to something peculiar here You see, it has been observed that the lighter elements in a group tend to show the group oxidation state Especially for group 13, 14 and 15 Whereas the heavier members within the group become more stable in their lower oxidation state By lower I mean the oxidation state that is two units lower than the group oxidation state For example, boron exists only in plus 3 oxidation state Which is the group oxidation state But the heavier member within the group thallium is more stable in plus 1 oxidation state Similarly, carbon, silicon, germanium, all of them show plus 4 oxidation state But let the heaviest member in the group is more stable in plus 2 oxidation state Just like that, if you look at group 15 Bismuth, the heaviest member exclusively exists in plus 3 oxidation state And not in the group oxidation state which is plus 5 So as you can see, all of these lower oxidation states are lower exactly by two units Correct? Now the question is, why does this happen so? Why are the heavier members more stable in a lower oxidation state unlike the lighter members? Now this can be attributed to something that we call the inert pair effect That mainly results due to the poor shielding effect of D and F orbitals So let's learn more about that in the next video


Dear students, I welcome you in the course of Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and the CN Making. This is module number 87 and we are going to talk about the work of leadership idea in brief. In this article, the authors are trying to come up with work associated challenges and issues which a leader is going to face in an organizational facility. So, when we talk about organizational facility and its associated challenges, remember that it requires the involvement of people and the people are going to be involved in terms of certain challenges. Those challenges can be shifting markets, international scenarios kandhar bohot saari tabdini aroonuma ho rahi hain. It can be emerging technologies that with the passage of time as we are in the part of cyber physical systems, the industrial revolution. So, us main dekhna hoga ab takaze aur peymane technological interventions ke saath wo kya hain. Another shifting technology and challenge can be that shifting competition, ab hum physical organizational facilities se boundary less organizations ke tazhavurat ki taraf wo develop kar chuke hain. Now, new normal is the place where we have to operate. We have to be very much interactive. We have to be very much efficient and we have to be very much competitive. So, in tamam challenges ko meet karne ke liye, there are certain solutions which leaders must be focusing upon. For example, they have to re-clarify corporate values because when corporate values ke upar fokus kiye bagayar, it would be difficult for the organizations ke wo apne aapko sahi tor par corporate social responsibility aur sahi tor par corporate governance ke kavaneen ke saath associate wo kar sakein. Secondly, as a solution, we have to redesign the strategies. The strategies which are more modern and upgraded, the strategies which are requirement of the time. For example, it can be a blue ocean strategy in which you have to differentiate yourself from your competitors to remain in the industry more effectively. Likewise, agar hum solutions ki baat karein, to we have to merge or dissolve different businesses. Hamik aise business model ke saath aasakein jo zeda feasible, zeda viable aur zeda practical wo ho. And at the same time, we have to manage cross-functional conflicts, aasake conflicts jo ke disfunctional outcomes wo hamare liye kreate kar rahe hain. To ek hamare paa synchronization, patronization honi chahiye tamam departments mein, tamam SBUs mein, under the corporate umbrella. So, in solution se, in challenges ko ham behhtar tor achieve wo kar pahenge. Now, the work of leadership is basically related to that leader must ask tough questions, aasake questions jin se ke clarity kreate ho. The leaders should leverage, implies collective intelligence, taak yos collective intelligence se ham apne nataaj ko behhtar tor achieve kar sakein. The leader must challenge the way we do businesses, because there can be many ways of doing and getting the same result. So, therefore, hume innovative and creative ideas ki taraf wo jaana chahiye. And the leader should draw issues out and let people feel as if they are involved and let them know the reality, because us reality ko jaane baghair, it would be difficult for the people to understand the direction in which organization is trying to move. At the same time, adaptive work and challenges ko hume madhainaza rakhna hai. For example, jab hum adaptive work ki baat karthe hain, so adaptive work requires the comprehension related to our values, beliefs and behavior. And it requires unfamiliar role and responsibilities and ways of thinking to the followers taak wo ek aasake combination baan aasakein jisse ke organization ki progress insure wo hosakein. Abis adaptive work ke saath to associated leadership concern hain, obviously that is adaptive leadership. Adaptive leadership tabhi tashkil pahegi jab hum ek aisa environment kreate karein in which the people are able to demonstrate their true capabilities, where the people are adaptive and they are more able to thrive for the betterment and for getting new things done. So, uske liye ek leader ko authentic bhi hoana hain, uske liye ek leader ko ethical bhi hoana hain, uske liye ek leader ko adaptive, change-oriented, flexible, yeh sab kuch hoana hain. Dear students, agar hain saari baat ko conclude karein, to nae door ke nae takazze aur nae pe maane hain aur unke mudabek apne aap ko dhalna wo zoroori hain. Iswakat environment pe mujood jo challenges hain unka saamna karne ke liye zoroori hoega ki ek leader, ek follower ke saath aisa relationship kain karein ki jis relationship me objectivity bhi achieve ho rahi ho aur subjective me, jo differences hain unko bhi understand berhta toor kiya jaa raha ho. Values important hain, mission vision ke teref develop karna, hamaare liye zoroori hain aur yeh sab kuch tabhi munkin hoega when the leader is there with two letter and spirit. Thank you.


Buy carry on Johnson. So I'll be honest with you guys I don't fully trust the Lions coaching staff to utilize carry on Johnson in a fantasy friendly way They haven't called a goal line rush this year But we probably know that legaret blunt's going to get the call when they're at the goal line He has four red zone attempts to carry on Johnson's one this season and within the ten yard line He has two to carry on Johnson's one as it stands right now The Garrett blunt is probably the goal line guy for the Detroit Lions and there's also theoretic The Lions have been very very past friendly to start the season, but the o-ridic's 22 targets still represents over a 15% Target share in that offense plain and simple. He's capping carry on Johnson's receiving upside That's especially true in negative game scripts carry on Johnson has just been this do-it-all guy for them this year That was to be expected. He's seen a little over 8% of Detroit's targets about 44% of the team's carries He's playing about 45% of Detroit snaps over the last two weeks. That's fine But it's not great. You're probably wondering why should you be buying carry on Johnson? Well plain and simple. He's the best running back in that Detroit backfield according to number fires expected points model He has a 51.7% success rate. That's the percentage of positive expected points runs made by a running back That's also far superior than legaret blunt's 25% rate So logically and I'm trying to think rationally here It just doesn't make a ton of sense for the Lions to keep rolling Legaret blunt onto the field and considering Johnson's still being utilized a bit in the passing game an 8% target share isn't that bad for a running back There's upside for him to be a legitimate RB to this season now The problem and this is the same problem that we run into with running backs all the time is that talent may only take him so far Coaches don't always think rationally and my opinion on a player is not always the same as what a coach thinks So if Detroit's coaches don't want him on the field more then he won't become anything more from a fantasy perspective But if they're smart about it in my opinion, this could be the start of carry on Johnson's rise So I would shoot off some trade offers this week in an attempt to get rid of some depth for carry on Johnson


We literally arrived in Las Vegas about 30 hours ago, about 30 hour flight. Yeah, I can't believe I'm doing this after four years. Super excited, mentally strong. I'm very keen to see all the WBFF athletes and quite a few of the top EHB labs ambassadors also competing so it's gonna be nice sharing the stage with them. We already, we all need to be dressed up for every single function that is happening from today on which to WBFF world on Saturday. Not as tired, mentally drained a bit, but I think that's normal after 30 hour travel. So we're gonna go down now to register for Saturday and just athletes meeting and just keen to see everybody. So Jako, who's the whole group you brought to Las Vegas? So there's about six of South Africans here. I think we're about a group of nine or 10 South African athletes that's competing at Worlds this weekend. Not all of them are pros. I think the majority is pros. We've got about two or three amateurs that's competing on Friday. I've been with Jako since the start of his prep. I think it's been three months now. The guy does not stop working. He starts on point. No, no stone was left unturned for this show. I mean, we put in the work. I've seen him do it.  So we're excited to see what he brings to the stage. Come to town, he'll be ready. We wanna thank our incredible WBFF team here with us this week. They have been truly amazing leading up to the event and today it's a long day for them. So we appreciate you guys. So that's day one. Just finished with registration, the athletes meeting. Saw all the athletes and the pros. Very good to see the familiar faces. But that's a wrap, guys. Going to bed, just chill and tomorrow, media day. So what a night. Just after 10 p.m. last night, the guy was supposed to prep our food, message me and said that he won't be able to do it. So that was a bit stressful. But luckily we sorted it out today. So all done and dusted. On our way just got dressed. It's all white. Well, semi-white for the guys and all the girls white. Dressed for the media day. Now basically what I think what's gonna happen is just all the newspapers and photographers and videographers is gonna be at this event. Just taking photos of all the resisted athletes, amateurs and pros. And then we're also gonna do country photos with our flags, which is gonna be very nice. So that's a wrap. Now I'm just chilling, have all my meals. Carp started today, so feeling good. Just after 4 a.m. Friday morning here in Las Vegas. Never miss opportunity to shoot with some of the top photographers in the state. So we off to the Navarra Desert to shoot with Ulrich Umen. I've shot twice with him. His work is absolutely incredible. Spooked down once today. Spooked down. That's what I call it.  And oil, we'll have some oil on the spray and stuff. So we're in the middle of the desert. I remember shooting here about five years ago. And I don't know if you've seen the movie The Heels Cut Eyes, but this reminds me a lot of that movie. I don't believe you me, it's scary. Why is it so hot? Oxyshred, that's what I need, I need oxyshred. It's just toast. You like it, don't throw it in the water with your mom, I don't like it. Fine grass, but it goes. If it goes, I don't want to throw it in the water. Not cause, we're all here. Not toast with water. Yeah. Just do what's on our side. We're talking about the simple things in life. Bread. Like toast. Jam. Peanut butter. Just toast with the double-coated jam. Imagine having baked beans. Have you ever craved baked beans? If you craved baked beans, you need to know. You've dived it hard. There's a lot of people that like baked beans, though. So that's our app, guys. We just shot at this amazing location in the middle of the desert in Nevada with Ulrich Uwen. Then we're going to get some great shots. Just having a quick meal, and then we head back to the hotel. And then it's the big wait for WWFF World Championships. I'm looking forward to that. The weirdest thing for me, I remember this every time I compete, is getting dressed in your formal way, dirty. Because you're not allowed to shower. I had the privilege to get a tailor-made suit by Gerd Kuzia, which is one of South Africa's top fashion designers. And also, he just did Project Runway in South Africa. So I'm privileged to be wearing his suit tonight on the Red Carpet. Wale! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much, man. Thank you, thank you. You deserve it, you made it for it.  I'm very, very happy that I could be next to you in the top five in the world. Thank you, that's for sure. No, honestly. So I wanted to share the stage with you. I mean, you came in an amazing condition. What can I say? It's just one of those things in a tough stage. I knew it was going to be tough, but I just have to bring my best to the stage and I'll do my very best. And I want to thank you. Thank you very much. Bless you, brother. Thank you, man. You too. Thank you. Bless you, brother. So guys, the show's finished. WFF World Championships 2018 has come to an end. And I'm very proud to say that I've made top five. That was my goal. I haven't been on stage for four years. And coming back, setting a goal for myself, top five, because I know how good these guys are. I know they're kind of bad. And for me, just to step on stage with these phenomenal world champions and some of them four-time world champion was absolutely incredible. And standing next to them and be called out in the top five, that is what I wanted and that's what I got. I just want to say thank you to a massive support system. The amount of messages I received over the last two days was absolutely incredible. Family, friends back home, friends, fans all over the world, EHB labs.  And I would not be here today if it wasn't for you. So a big heart. I'm telling you, thank you so much. And it was good to be on that stage. And that reminded me of why I love this sport so much. I'll be back.


A simple proof-of-concept website, launching within the London business community. And I got a few developers to help. I'm not a developer. And then it started to grow there. And we started to make some money and enough money after six months to hire the first employee. Exciting. Then after one year, we raised an early-stage seed money. So probably similar to what you just raised. And then we raised a bit more and a bit more and we got into science and university and raised one and a half million dollars. At this stage, that's it. That's the end of the presentation. I know, you know, came by an island in the Caribbean and everything is so... Yeah, right? One and a half million dollars. More than enough for everything. The problem was that we had one and a half million dollars. But our competitors had a bit more money. More than a billion. And when you have one and a half million, you complete with a billion, it's a little bit hard. It's a little bit hard. It's just, you know, us deciding who are the best eleven players among us and going to play against Chelsea. What will happen? So we realized we need to do something. We need to change. And what we started to do is to do the things that actually made us a good business. To talk to our clients. And we asked them, why do we use ourselves? And we started to learn the patterns and the special reasons that they can use our service. What is the value for them? And how we can actually, instead of thinking about a very big market, isn't something for everyone? We thought, oh, maybe we can limit it. It's not for everyone. It's just for this very, very small group. Let's solve the needs of this group better than anyone else. What can we do that no one else is doing for business? Excuse me. And we kept doing that. We kept developing. Initially from short days, then to medium stays. Then we started to talk with corporates and all the corporates told us this story that I told you before. Executive gets everything, junior gets not. To sign some, some very large corporates on all the concept websites that we built for them. Very, very simple one that didn't have much functionality. And we learned from that that they actually find the benefits, but also that there's no competition. You know, there's no competition. It's a bit easier to do in business and easier to create value. So when you think about your businesses and how to position it to the investor, you need to think about it because one of the questions that Charles asked was one of the competitors. To tell them there are no competitors all is a very balanced. That means that you don't know them all. There are always competitors, but just less and not organized and maybe not in the same occasion. And with that, we build a stronger story how we are building a business that will generate $100 million of revenues in four years. By focusing on the B2B business, we've closed our consumer business. We are only doing this. It's a massive opportunity for us because there are many clients and no one else is competing and we've named down the product market. We know clients are willing to pay for this. All right, so that's a little bit about us. As context, let's talk about fund raising. The first question you should ask yourself is do you even need fund raising? You should think very, very well if you want to actually get funding because you lose control. When someone else put money in the business, they also want to get more control of the positions, of the direction. That's one, one. Last question. You said you are already on the sixth round of funding, right? Right. If it's not a secret, could you approximately outline the dilution mechanism for these six rounds? How much you are losing? Yeah, so we'll talk about it in a few slides how the use will work. But before we talk about how the use will work with this very good question, thank you. I want to really raise the question here because you don't always need fund raising. A lot of people are doing successful business without venture capital, without investments. And that's perfectly fine. If you can find a way to build a profitable business, that doesn't mean that you need to be in the hundred million dollar business. It's high risk. When you aim very high, the chances of failure are also high. It's okay to also think, I want to be an entrepreneur and get my own business. 50% of the jobs in the US are created by small businesses, not by large companies. So it's perfectly fine also to go there and to take into account do I really want to do fund raising because it's a big commitment and you need to align your interests with the investors. And it takes a lot of time. So fund raising, every round of the six rounds took me between six to nine months. Well, during that time, I had to work full-time on the fund raising. I would say it's not possible because there was only one person in the business, right? Or two. So how do you do the business? Well, you work full-time on this and full-time on customer service and full-time on sales. It's very, very hard. It's very demanding. It takes a lot of time to fund raising. It's not working like, oh, I'm just going to come and do a few presentations and get the money. It's a lot of children relationship getting enough that we'll see why it takes so long. So let's talk about the type of investors that one can raise from and the different stages. It's not my slide. It's divided into five. Pressing, seed, serious AMB, CS safely plus and M&A and IPO. Signature and public profit basically being listed on the stock exchange. And the numbers are, I think, in dollars but you can apply these cards in order to... Usually you start with the free seed which is going to be either your savings or money from what is called a triple A. Friends, family and food. Food. I'll explain the second one. Oh, grants. Grants is also going to start there. Anything, normally you will not give any equity at this stage. So for your question, there's normally no delivery. It's just money. People will believe in you. That's it. That's the only thing they believe. Making the idea a little bit, but mostly it's love money. They really love you and they give you the chance to go for it. The seed fund can come from either early stage venture capital but most of it will come from business angels. Business angels are people who made a hike. Income either through energy or banking or IT or whatever they were doing and they have some money they want to invest. We'll talk in a second how to approach them. Then comes the actual what's most sophisticated money, CSA and B, which is normally from venture capital from angel funds, et cetera. And CSE will come from venture capital some private equity and both funds. But I think this is less interesting. Let's go through some of these things. We'll visit this slide again. So what these investors are looking for? Let's say that in the first term meets three types of money. One of them wanted to distract the industry. The second one to change the world. The third just want to make a lot of money. The only thing is more likely according to research that they invested. Let's vote. So the first one wanted to distract the world distract an industry, change an industry. One is not sure. Okay. The one who's going to change the world. Changing the world. I can give you a better place. The one I just want to make a lot of money. Well. Research show, I don't know if that's what research show is. Making a lot of money. And it makes sense because investors do it for many reasons. But the first reason is to make money. Sometimes on their own money. Sometimes on others people money that they manage. That's a big difference by the way between these two and these three. In the first two it's people money. Here it's normally other people money. It's going to affect the decision-making. So we know what investors are looking for. Which is money. Let's look. How much money do you want to make? I'm sorry that the slide is a bit hard. So let's talk about the best seed. The love money that their friends, their family and some fools. Why are they investing? Mostly to help you. That's what they don't. If they're going to make money, it's not the reason. And if you look here, this one shows the risk in every step. This is the highest risk. The highest risk in the early on in the big year. Then there is the seed money. The whole slide. It looks nicer on my computer. So seed money investors. Why do they invest? They want to make money. Three times their money will actually not be very bad. Or five times. How are they going to make money? Everything investors make money. So they're giving dividends. Would you invest in anyone that gives dividends? Does that work? What the investor would want is that you sell the business one bit. It's okay if you stay to work in the business. But it's fine, but sell the shares. Because that's when you make money. Investors don't make money on dividends. It's nice to have them. Knowing it's against it as part of making money. What's really important for them is that this is a business that someone will buy. It's okay if no one will buy this business. Just don't go to speak to these people because it's not going to be what they're looking for. You can find other people who will find it. Provide, but not traditional. It's called the venture capital. It's very important to know what they expect. So we know how to do that. The other reason that angel investors are investing in the seeds
