Yeah. Yeah So before we get more to today's topic and get into discussion all that Tim can you introduce yourself to the show? Yeah, you don't know you? Yeah, absolutely. My name is Tim Beckett. I am actually a single dad divorced about three years now and started a Twitter at TW underscore Beckett and it is basically designed and as well as my website a dash fathers dash journey comm It's designed to help guys who are Basically coming out of divorce by kind of explaining and showing my life and everything that I did And I am experiencing right now. So it's almost like I'm live tweeting every day Exactly what I'm doing Getting back into the dating pool dealing with single dad issues dealing with custody issues with my ex just some of the things that guys are Essentially struggling with that I can help them with and I can get them some information that they really need So I do a lot of different things. I essentially discovered all sorts of things when I got divorced I discovered game I discovered Something you know, I was basically blue pill baited my entire life and when I About three years so I was and I'm 43 now So better late than never they say but I actually discovered it. I read about it. I studied it and took it and Tried to make something better of my life and ended up really Having some success and I'm just sharing that with everybody and Trying to live my life to show people exactly what they can do and guys, you know guys who are out there struggling You know, we see a lot of guys who are really doing struggling with their lives after divorce, you know, a lot of these guys are just Essentially lost after divorce they just woken out of a coma in the social sense And so I've been trying to show these guys that there is life after divorce You see, you know guys who commit suicide every day 70% of suicides in this country or men a lot of them have come Suicide is way higher for men after divorce than women too, right? Yes. And so these men need Help and so that was my whole design was to and my purpose really was to help men Who were zeroed out and who were looking for something? you know who were looking for somebody to hang on to a tribe even if they if you will but Just to give them some guidance because there's not a lot of that out there for guys who are just getting out of this So that was my whole purpose and how many kids do you have? I have two two daughters One is ten and one is almost. I'm sorry one is 12 and one is ten. So Nice, yeah, I do your story man I know I found out when I texted you on Twitter the link to join the show And I talked earlier in the year. I think yes, this guy Taking off Tim and over 5,000 followers. It's pretty serious. Yeah. Oh, yeah, and I started the Twitter feed back in September 2018 and Really, it's evolved Essentially, it was just a bunch of red pill truths and then I was just like, you know, I'm putting that stuff out there I'm gonna put myself out there and I have a weight loss journey that I'm involved in you know, I've lost over 60 pounds in about 12 months 13 months now and Just showing guys that if they work at it and they they they struggle through it that they're gonna they're gonna be better So that's that's been my trying to inspire some guys out there to get themselves together So I got a question for you So, you know in all your research last three years things you've been hearing because I've obviously never been divorced So I'm the odd man out on that deal, but I always hear people say, you know You get divorced over money mostly but the more the older I get the more I think about it I think you get divorced over sex for a lot large part I mean you get like zeroed out in the bedroom and I know that's what kind of the session today is gonna be talking about a little bit But when that when that falls away, is it the sex or the money when you're talking to guys? Which one is screws everything up? The sex is what I'm overwhelmingly seeing There was a guy. I've got several guys now, of course that when I've when I've done this and I've kind of Grown with it I see guys kind of coming out of the woodwork Especially friends of mine or or acquaintances and guys over Twitter who are DM and me they're saying Hey, you know, your story is really similar to ours and I you know, I tell my story and really blatant You know, I was a blue pill beta and I was about as bad as they could be And I was blatantly bad So I try to describe all the nasty details so that everybody can kind of see that Yeah, I came from a lot. I came from a really bad place So that's kind of where but yeah, it's definitely the sex and Money was not was never an issue with my divorce or my marriage and my divorce was kind of Triggered by the fact there wasn't any sex. I mean I had sex twice in two years Before I before I got divorced so yeah And I go into pretty descriptive detail on my website about it just because it was you know There are guys who are in that exact same boat and they're they're struggling They don't know what to do, you know, they're begging their wives for sex and their wives are saying no So they're coming to me and going well how in the world do I? You know avoid that and avoid being where you were and so that's kind of what I've you know been seeing a lot of I was a mix of it makes a lot of sense to me that you get a consistent theme like that All these guys are raised with the same conditioning over the past 10 20 30 40 years So it's not surprising and I mean I imagine money can still be issued in some cases, but as sex is the core of what I mean Women are so emotionally driven that yes sex is the cornerstone of Feeling for them a lot of ways. It makes sense to me.   Yeah, do I do this stuff? They don't know any better. I mean a lot of it's ignorance and they've been propagandized in the opposite direction So yeah, it's it sucks.  So yeah, definitely You know if we could ever figure out how to market this stuff like they market Viagra Because you know these are the guys guys were you know guys were embarrassed to talk about not being able to get a boner You know and and now it's all over every sports commercial everything you watch, right? It's everybody talks about the little blue pills, right? We just figure how to have a market our red pill version of how to how to start having sex again, right? As well as that I mean God dang The problem with that is that exactly kind of what you're it is funny but what you're hinting at is that people want some simple instant answer and Going through that journey. I mean your thing is called literally a father's journey and you know repairing You know your own attitude and personality things in relation to women That's tough and that's pretty much every dude. So they don't want it. They want you know, the instant answer, which is There is an instant answer. You can go to a conference. You could take a workshop You could take coaching you can spend months even years trying to figure this out and it's gonna take time I don't I've never heard of anyone finding these ideas and this this community and the instantly You know within a week.   Yeah, absolutely So it was like that go ahead. I was just saying by the way, I saw panel I am the divorce guy and I'll speak to that You know that experience of going through that experience and then getting back into dating But I'm not a father and I can't speak to that and I can't even speak either to be like you too Can I think or better than me anyway, especially text being in a healthier long-term relationship? Well, I tell you what I was it's about divorce too though. We talked about that before yeah, that's right That's right. We were about to about to just call it quits Yeah, and it was it was kind of funny It's the same thing that guys that have called it quits already are having to do You know, you start trying to get in shape you start looking in the mirror and you go, okay You know see old line what I screw that, you know when you're looking in the mirror naked, right?  That's actually a hundred. That's a hundred percent true Yeah, I think I see up in your SMVs a signal that they might leave they might exit So let's talk about before we get into the many more at least surface level negative stuff Let's talk about the positive stuff text. You've been in a marriage for over 20 years at this point. Yeah, 30 30 with 30 31 I guess so I'll know if she's watching I'll get she'll tell me later You've been married as long as I have been alive. Yeah, it's pretty scary, isn't it? And I tell you what like you just discussed so that has not been perfect But for a while it's been really good and so you can talk to me about the basics of what's worked for you to maintain Arousal and attraction and 31 year marriage Yeah, I think that was one of the reasons why the marriage always stuck together.  It was always great So I think part of it was was me in my journey figuring out how to be more dominant in our relationship And I'm kind of I kind of preach about dominant submissive relationships a lot for people that have never seen anything that I've written or talked about It's just it's just what we do, you know, and and that turn Taking care better care of myself. You know what? It's it's not always just a physical thing, right? It's the it's the mental attitude. It's taking care of the family It's taking care of your job is taking care of your responsibilities it's basically charging out and leading lead, you know, leading your team leading your family and Some women find that to be incredibly attractive, you know, combined with the other things that you're doing and they want to be They want someone to lead, you know, I think most women really do that I think there's a bunch of them that won't admit to it and then there's rest of them that are like lesbians and stuff You know, I mean Just kind of the way it is, but it could be it could be a pretty damn good thing if you're doing your job But at the same time it's hard as hell to To lead I mean if it was easy everybody would have already done it by now, right? So to be able to lead your wife to be able to lead your family to be able to do things and make good moral decisions It's sound decisions and just do all the things that you're supposed to do Shit Tim didn't win. Oh, no Hope I hop back in a second. Yeah, no no problem But it's like I said, man, it's a it's a long journey. We talked about that's a long journey It's 30 something years, you know, we were together before that as well.  You just try to have more ups and downs.  I'll try to put it up later But we were both neither one of us wanted to get divorced But we could just just wasn't working everything was just downhill downhill downhill and at some point My girl was basically trying to research how to be happy that kind of thing on the internet Right How to be a happy woman and shit like that because she was unhappy I was unhappy and She ended up stumbling across this Christian women's submissive website and she started the reading about submissive This was before the whole 50 shades thing was was really cranking and she started really reading about that and she started trying to I don't know if they had like quizzes or some shit like that But it was basically she came she basically came to me when I thought we were just about that We were done and she said hey look, I think I'm a submissive and I think you should be my Tonya, you know, she goes I I really want to know she goes. I I think we've got this wrong I've been trying to drive the bus here and you've been trying to drive the bus We've been button heads now for five six years. So basically she comes up to you and she's like daddy tax Can you paddle me?  I mean had she not had that conversation with me I don't think we're together right now because you know, two people can't drive the same bus It just doesn't work and and you got strong will people and people think that submissive women are not strong will They think that their door mats and they don't want to be called a submissive because they just look People look down at them or whatever. I tell you what man. She only has to be submissive to one person me everybody else man, she's she's She's a force to be reckoned with and so, you know, I mean and that's a good thing, right? But when you got to two stubborn people button heads all the time eventually Yeah, you call it quits until one of them says hey wait a second It's like the it's like the two I hate to use the word dogs with two dogs in the backyard that run up Meet each other one of them just completely rolls over real quick and realizes they're out They're out, you know, they're outnumbered here type of thing No, it's it's good stuff I mean it's it's and we don't take it for granted and we always assume that it could go south in any minute And so we both have to work at it and can't take your foot off the gas in terms of the Dom stuff stuff What do you say to critics who just try to immediately reject that or throw the baby out of the bath water?  That's too extreme for me I mean a lot of people don't even have a clue like what you're talking about almost they're very they finish She has a great and that's it That's the problem that movie was so jerked up that you know when you try to watch it It's yeah Some kinky stuff in it and they say the other but what they don't realize is that Dom submissive relationships are not kinky relationship Unless you want them to be you know, it's it's more, you know, man It's almost like how your grandparents live in the 50s, you know, he was he was in charge She did things around the house kept things going and and that's the way I try to explain it to him It's kind of like how how your grandparents were maybe your great grandparents were you know back in the day Because you know guys ask people how do I talk to my wife about this? I like this idea and I say well you go nostalgic You start talking about how how it was back in the day and maybe that's be something to try and then you got to you got to pull it off Yep Tim do you have any comments on this in terms of I don't know what your relationship experience has been like since divorce or previous before that But a lot of guests put me in a post to be the most relevant in this case In terms of maintaining attraction and arousal in our long-term relationship Well, I would tell you that it is definitely a man's job is I've been through let's see ever since I got divorced I've been in four kind of longer-term relationships and They were all with and I've written about this on my blog. They were all with relatively liberal women and When I first came out of my marriage and I was you know jumping into the dating, of course I had a migtal phase which was about about 16 months 18 months and just kind of that's when I did a lot of the reading got a lot of the red pill stuff and Then when I did that I went on my I got into my first relationship kind of about the same time And I just didn't know what I was doing so I kind of in every one of those relationships every one of those four relationships were three-month relationships and I always call it the three-month itch is what I call it and Every it was the first two were basically me being very beta and They ended very quickly because these women were very strong and they wanted that they wanted a man to lead But they they did want a man to lead they didn't want to be they didn't want to be strong And then my last two as I was learning the pill and learning how to Kind of the relationship dynamics. Well, those last two I started to assert myself as the leader of that As the lead and do things that a dominant man should do in a relationship And it was met with the first one was met with very much Some pushback and the second one was essentially me just putting One that was just breaking up with the other one and so that was my I was most probably my moment that I really knew that the red pill was working for me and that my my dominant male Attitude was really starting to work because I noticed that it was working for her and Essentially the relationship was under my terms And if she did not do what I would you know what I was hoping she would do then I could break the relationship off And that was exactly what I did What's it been like going from you know hardcore blue pill beta to actually learning these things in real life? I mean I had a similar transition to but mine's been a lot more I mean I've been this the man is here for so long that I've had such So much interaction to pick apart a stuff and all kinds of other odd shit along the way It's never been a clean cut thing like I think you've been through. Yeah What's it been like actually feeling that in real life and doing it and living it? Well, it's it's you can notice the transition because the thing that I really got me going was was was You know just P way and game in general just kind of That attitude was kind of what I was looking for and so it was teaching these guys that so as I've been dating and I had to stop dating because my daughter was Diagnosed with epilepsy recently, so I had to kind of take care of her So now I'm back and she's feeling better. Thank goodness, and she's about a month and a half epilepsy free So we're watching that but now I can kind of get back to where I was but I mean I essentially just kind of did it by practice and It was so hilarious because I had such crippling social anxiety that When I got out of my marriage, I was just like what am I gonna do? So I had to force myself to do things. It was like guys are always Kind of making it kind of poking fun at the fact But these you know These are serious issues that these guys cannot deal with and it was just about going to breakfast by yourself Or going to dinner by yourself or going up to a bar and just having a drink and talking to the bartender or whatever I had to actually just reteach myself how to be social again Because when you're married and that kind of a situation, I you know I had some friends that I used to hang out with but it was just me and my wife a lot of the time And so I just didn't have a social and I wasn't real social before I got married So it was just it just said I had to reteach myself. It was it but it really went well And as I started to gain some momentum and tried to figure out some things I keep getting better and better and it was just It just it really got me thinking about what I had a lot of guys will look back and say I wasted my life But to me, it's not wasting your life if you wake up at some point no matter how old you are So that was something that really hit home for me In there you're basically saying that as long as you wake up at some point That's this has been your journey up to that point correct and it would obviously said deal if you do a younger But I've heard this a lot in the community over the years I was always so young and some of the guys that would attend the conference that we do That the older guys, you know like Texan stuff They look back these young whippersnappers at like 25 finding this shit and they're like a finally fucking knew yeah But the reality is a when it's as long as you find it I agree with that as long as you find it while you're alive and you've done really well I mean the better the better the two in terms like brain stuff But yeah, and the key is to you know, that's one thing that I don't I don't hold back on You're gonna make mistakes.    It was really nice, too I don't say because these guys I talked to and of course I've been there myself I mean, I'm like six four my wife's five, too. I outweighed by a good hundred pounds, right?  You know, they can have past a nine-pound baby through their Ruins, you know, I mean they could probably you're probably not gonna break them, right? Right, but no, it took me a long time to figure that part of it out, too, you know Well, and I'm I'm six foot four two hundred and forty five pounds So I'm a linebacker and I can pick them up and they love being picked up. They just absolutely love it.  She loved it. So is this your sister? Is this actually your sister watching the show by the way? Yes, that's my sister I keep I keep seeing this. I'm like, this is some troll or what family Family family support, I guess she wanted to watch tonight. So I have some really bad news.   I'd be out back And then she's I just banged these girls like 15 20 minutes flat and she's just like she's like and she was talking about I'm like, yeah, the day went really good. She's like Anthony. Those are not dates Taxi talking a little bit more though about you know in the years and now you've been living this dumb Sublife even even separate from that just for the average guy whether or not he's aware of that currently, you know What's maintaining the arousal attraction over time other than dobs up stuff maybe I?  I don't care the relationship deepens and You communicate more there's there's this this unbelievable trust there because you literally have buried yourself to each other and it's I take it how you want I don't care But I know that my relationship now with my wife is on a whole nother level than it used to be because of the Dom sub stuff because she's put all of her trust into me To basically she is she has basically opened herself up wide-naked and close on and basically, you know I'm yours. Don't screw me over kind of thing and trust trusting me that I'm not going to As far as keeping the arousal going. I think it's a it's a constant game of You know Kino and stuff. I mean it's constantly just just messing with her head You know trying to and you know You can have you can have short quick sex or you can have like long scenes where you try to plan stuff out and Have a long night at it and that kind of thing and you can't have those every night, right? It's just that we get pretty boring, but hopefully at least once a week you're doing something something pretty exciting You're trying to and even if it's just I know people say don't don't Netflix and chill But trust me Netflix and chill can can can be a lot of fun for a while, too And then you can take it to the next level. I don't I'm not going to talk about anything necessarily that we've done Lately, but I can say that you just have She's living in my frame and I have to constantly I Constantly keep inside her head if that makes any sense She she's always doing something. I asked her to do this ask her to do that.  It's her doing stuff It's her serving you not just you know in the bedroom. It's it's ever on your life There's people that just do this stuff in the bedroom the day and it's it's not that it's play acting It's just better moments.  They kink it up They have a good time. You know, he takes charge. She she enjoys it. Everybody's happy other people live at 24 7 and you know when you can when you're Here's one for you guys that have been married in LTR for a long time Is your girl happy when you come home? She happy to see you Okay, if you're doing things right, she's probably happy that you're that you're there She's happy that she came home, you know, and so she's gonna spend her time trying to Keep you happy too. And so this is whole thing and we're both putting out our a game at all times And yeah, you can't be your a game all the time, right? Someone's gonna have a bad night So we have a bad day.  You know, that's that's not reasonable after 30 something Here's a marriage It's just not what you do but and again She is under my charge. I mean, I am responsible for everything for her everything literally and and that's a that's a Responsible I take on willingly but a lot of people.  This is hard There's a lot of hard work and then they start slacking off and the wife gets pissed because she you know She's putting out her best effort and he's no longer putting out his because that's really hard It's a responsibility taken on essentially to lead and to die man. It's it's it's it's everything It literally is everything, you know, she has skills and gifts and she's very talented at things and and I will tell her I want her to use her skills and her gifts to enhance what we have going here But at the same time, you know, like I don't I don't tell her what the menu to plan, right? You know, I don't tell her what to go buy at the grocery store things like that because that's just that's kind of mundane And that's where that's her part of the world But I just think that there's this deepening thing and this telling us trust communication Respect and love and that kind of thing and and it's it's it's a deep ball and people think they get into it Thinking it's sex and it is but that's the sex is just the icing on the cake. It's a lot deeper than that Well open of the whole panel, this would be one of things both of you can tackle pretty well How do we bring life and excitement and passion back into a dead bedroom? Dead bedroom being an entire subreddit dedicated to it but dead bedroom is where things have died in the bed and Like you know having sex once a year or something like that that would be a good example that Some guys that I'm sure I've heard even, you know Worse than that from attendees of the convention and online and stuff years that go go without having sex with a wife or something Or in a relationship or whatever So can you guys speak to that? Just I mean, it's a huge topic, but just some of the basics of the fundamentals of fixing that I'd say to me I can speak from experience and know that I know what a dead bedroom is like. I know what Happens or doesn't happen in this particular case and so My advice to a lot of guys is to focus on What they're doing and get themselves right because a lot of these guys the reason they have a dead bedroom is because And I always talk about this once you get into your marriage and it's about two three four years down the line You know and it things become routine things get mundane things get just very robotic and it happened with me and these guys are You know going through the same things and they let off the gas Like text was saying earlier you've got to consistently Be at your it's close to a game as you can be in your best all the time or at least most of the time Because you have to keep her you have to lead her and you have to take on a lot of this kind of This pressure that you have to do and so if she respects you and she's going to you know Follow your lead then what you can do is make yourself an example But a lot of these guys will go and they'll start doing fantasy football And they'll start watching sports and they'll start going to tailgates with friends and drinking and watching porn and all of this this you know self-destructive behavior because Once they get married. It's like yeah, I'm married. So we're good We'll just kind of leave it off the we'll just let off the gas and hit the break You know pump the break a little bit I gotta say I've seen this just among the social circle stuff extended social circle friends and friends I've seen that this these kind of exact phrases and ideas these dudes will mount this off after getting married like a year or two later And I'm like it's it's I mean obviously knowing what I know.  I know it's an upload face But they say it's so casually. They just totally believe it. It's really common, too. It's amazing Well, I always like the the analogy of they're walking down the train tracks whistling. They don't hear the whoo-hoo Exactly like they don't and then it's like and then women were like Well, he told me he was blindsided and it's like and the guys like well, I was blindsided and you're like no You really shouldn't have been blindsided because look at your religion I mean and I'll just use my experience an example.    So I I'll say if you're in a dead bed and I have been Yeah It's possible first all right. I'm sorry second. It's possible to fix these right? Oh hell, yeah This is this is tough. This is my first point You have to ask yourself look at the mirror and say do I want to fix this? Okay, and that's shitty. That's a shitty question to ask But it's a lot of hard work especially you've gone down that road for six or seven years You know, this is going to be a lot a lot on you to try to fix this and We anything is red pill stuff as you've read you're going to fix yourself first If you think you're going to fix your wife and all of a sudden make her horny again. Good luck with that Okay, it's not going to happen.  You're going to get The happy chemicals endorphins instead are going to blow up gonna start blowing through you because you're gonna start eating Right, you're gonna start exercising again Now your wife can do the benefit from that or she is going to end up Not benefiting from that and some other woman's going to but either way you got to take care of your own stuff first and It really it's it's a three-pronged thing. I mean, it's it's it's body soul and and Mental stuff.   I'm out of here, you know And they and they give up on something that could be pretty good if they both put their put the effort into it but generally one person's got to start and you got you have this negative spiral going down and One person's got to stop the spiral and start to turn it around and try to make it go up again And once you start putting forth your best best effort Generally, you'll see her start to come around to the dread kind of kicks in and you know, she'll start to it's good It's classic everybody talks about it. They say the same damn thing because it works You know, it's the only way out. I think I Positive thinking man.  It's got real.  Otherwise, okay, I wrote a book called love and respect and it was highly recommended by somebody I respect quite a bit and Women want to be loved and they want to be respected.   That's it. Yeah Then let's move the conversation forward a little bit and we could revisit this if we need to later with that It's a topic that's got I think Maybe not endless depth but a lot But this is a show hunter wanted to do was also on navigating dating after divorce Text you haven't quite been through that. I mean you have some input That's him. Obviously you've been through that quite a bit for me about the same too. It's been about three and a half years And I since I've been single I didn't legally get divorced as well wasn't legally married, but functionally was almost identical So I can hop into that too in a bit, but You know my experience has been wild. I mean again because I've been the man is here for so long familiar with all these things.  I went through and that was wild, you know I've been dating and you know didn't pick up for years before I met her I've done You know for example before I met her I'd approached like probably six thousand woman or something like that and bang six thousand woman Of course, but I'd approached that many at bars and clubs So I didn't have the same experience as you did Tim in terms of like social anxiety and stuff I was kind of rusty obviously getting back into that but within a few weeks. I was kind of that ended up wearing off But a lot of it was still new to me I mean it was when I was dating before when I met her, you know tender and bumble these dating apps did not exist I didn't have an iPhone in the apps themselves and they didn't exist at that point almost at all But getting back into that in 2016.  They last about two months tops. They don't make remark That's my own thing too And I've turned down many women at this point that have wanted to be in relationships And sometimes I blows up in my face and they'll be screaming Colombian woman and other times it burns down a firing Inferno and other times it doesn't and they'll bang them again six months later a year later. So I've had a really My life is, you know, pretty fucking wild in about 10,000 different ways Dating post divorce has been very consistent with that So but if you want to hop I think if I hear your experience of working pop it with my own ideas or advice as we go Yeah, I think that my experience essentially was I When I got divorced, I didn't know what to do I mean, I just didn't know and I'm probably with a lot of guys They just I knew that I wanted to get a divorce So when I when I did that I was the one that filed and everything so I got out of it and I Essentially went and I was I had heard so many guys who had just come out of divorce jump right back into or jump into Online dating or whatever and I had actually met my wife through e-harmony Yeah, see so I mean and it was just like I'm I decided that I was going to Steer clear of it at least in the beginning so that I could Hone some type of social skill That was the whole point of me doing game was like I have to be able to you know, I own my own company I was you know, I should I needed to be out there I'm the face of the company so I need to be out there So I had to hone my social skills whether it be with women or men just to get myself out there So what I started doing is I started networking and I started doing a lot of business events I started doing a lot of just going to random bars and just sitting at the bar and talking up people just just to do it And it was hard at first and a lot of guys don't know how to do that But eventually I got to the point where I was talking up bar patrons I was talking up servers and having dates with them and and and it was just kind of all over the place so Um, but I knew I was at least generating some kind of game And I didn't have to go online to to to do that You know a lot of these guys will just the minute they're divorced they'll jump right on and get into some disaster On tinder or bumble, uh, and they're just and they've not learned anything So my goal was to not be ignorant. I guess that was the whole that was my whole goal and so And I'm still learning to this day so it was uh It was you know, I'm still and I'm showing I'm sharing it with all my followers. I'm sharing what I'm learning Uh, so it was just it was just what it was. So No, I can speak to that too that you mentioned, uh, you know getting immediately jumping into tender mumble and these things and online dating And I actually waited, you know for all six weeks But for me that felt like a lot because I knew the minute this happened I mean I moved in with Socrates temporarily for like two weeks I'm gonna find a place in Atlanta to live into a longer term for about two years. I'll live there And I knew it was like all right. I got in these apps I started swiping and these girls are matching with me, but I didn't want to Emotionally, I just wasn't ready for that much.   I was able to bang a pretty decent seven. It's a nice little nurse Pretty quick and that was that was it felt really good to you know, kiss a woman for the first a new woman for the first time in a long time Fuck a new woman for the first time in a long time So it was therapeutic to finally do that, but I'm glad I waited at least, you know, minimal six weeks Other guys I can imagine would need a lot more than that And that got me to a good to a good kind of roll after that It was, you know, it wasn't like every day or anything like that But every few weeks I pick up a new one like that up tender or something like that And then that kind of got me eased me back into going to bars and stuff like that where it's a little more intense But even having done it thousands of times at that point It was different having not done it for you know, four or five years at that point So the rest was coming off and that took that took a couple months to come off Um Even to this day, I feel like I'm still I'm probably better at it now than I have ever been But I still feel I would wonder sometimes it's self doubt.  I don't know With all these absence stuff. I mean this is like women. Do they even have to leave their couch now? I mean, do they do they go to bars anymore? I mean, I'm not a single guy.   They're getting hit on or something and then there's some dude on their phone swiping tinder for them nuts That's a administrative assistant to outsource. They're swiping. Yeah.  Are they all damaged as hell? We are there's some pretty decent ones out there still.  I've had two kids. Uh, I'm I'm good there But I just I do see quite a few of them, but I also see some You know, I don't have an issue single moms. I like single moms.  And so they were You know, they were all very They were all very independent, but it's like You know, they almost to a fault, but they yeah, I see a lot of it I mean, I'm seeing more and more as I get out there, which is why I'm kind of sticking younger I like I'm dating between 27 and 33. I mean, I'm kind of sticking in there. Now.  So that's all that matters. And so it was like, uh, But no, I mean, that's kind of why I'm sticking the 27 to 33 because at least, you know It's not it. They're epiphany phase, but I'm also looking at women who maybe don't want to have kids Um, and so, you know, it's is it picky. Yeah But I can afford to be picky because I I'm not worried about I have no, uh, I have no plans I enjoy my life the way it is and if something happens great if it doesn't that's that's just fine, too Yeah, on the single mom issue I've dated sort of well, I've dated any of them technically but I You know dated several of them in Orlando.  Why are you into music festivals doing this shit?  Yeah, it is and My my divorce was very interesting in the fact that uh, we didn't hire lawyers It's one thing I have I do a lot of divorce advice for these guys because a lot of these guys are going through pretty rough stuff Um, and they don't know where to turn so I'm here to kind of help them and guide them through their divorces and what they need to do and so my divorce was a little bit interesting just because Um, as the as the main breadwinner of the family, uh, essentially I was going to take 50 of the the I wasn't going to settle for anything less than 50 custody Um, and so and she knew that so we ended up getting a mediator And we didn't even get lawyers. We basically sat down for four mediation sessions at about a thousand dollars all in And had it had it hammered out and it was great because that's why I say there's a lot There are women out there who are sensible and a lot of these women who are sensible or the single mothers especially are The ones out there who are doing it alone and are not making excuses for doing it alone Um, my older sister is a is a fantastic single mom. She's raised five kids Um, every single one of them is is, you know, put together really well and she's done a great job But she's not made excuses. She just said, you know what?  I like those are those are the kind Yeah, and you find some I hooked up with a new one recently like two weeks ago and uh A lot better than what I've seen the other ones, you know a lot of a lot of the the A lot of the structural stuff will look look the same to me It was funny because she lived in the house the same the same exact blueprint house as another single mom in here that that swooped in on a friend of mine is ruining his life And so that was a very negative example, but this girl had a very similar setup But everything was put together everything that's clean this girl chick was like respect well You know respectful submissive like it was it was good And you know impasse the bullshit detector formula, which I'm even at three and a half years out from divorcing a hooker I'm still like that I'd say I'm hyper vigilant with a lot of this stuff And sometimes to a fault, you know, it's too far too much. I'm you know to paranoid at this point But that's getting better over time Texan in your work with what you do at your and through your website and guys hit you up guys you talk to What are some of the things you've seen that help them post divorce get back into dating? Especially after you know marriage and divorce or you know kids Yeah, I think a lot The ones of course that are hitting me up are talking a lot about You know dns stuff because that's kind of what I tend to talk a lot about And a lot of them are really interested as to how to cultivate that in a woman How do they find a submissive woman is that and the other and I think that's that's The biggest key is what to just Give us some ideas on on how to how to lead, you know, and even and I'm not again I'm not a big dating guy because I Still dating the woman I've been dating for 30 years, right? So I can't really give advice on that But I could I can I can go back to some of the hell some of the pickup stuff that you guys have talked about for years You know bouncing, you know taking charge and going from one bar to the next and bouncing over here And having a plan and doing this stuff and at the end of the day, that's a very dominant role Right. I mean if you look at if you've read any pickup already stuff It's real dominated stuff. And I think the other thing we were talking about earlier It's it's getting past that mindset that Um, a nice guy wouldn't ever have rough sex or you know, you you got to realize you got to feel Of course, you don't want to Safe saying consensual you want to make sure that you're you're dealing with a woman that actually Enjoys this kind of thing, right? You can kind of do the hair pull thing and a little bit of hair Pull and figure out if she's into it or not and then pull a lot of hair, right? Yeah, but but I'm just saying I mean it's it's There's so many women out there that that don't have a man that that can Hit their hit, you know rock their world where they want it to rock I can interject a quick tip based very specifically of what you just said I figured this out about Not a year ago exactly.  It was it was amazing. It was super hot It was super hot And it was like it was like a braided kind of pony just like braided ponytail too So it caught my attention immediately.    And what I also noticed of course too is the other girls all around me were just absolutely getting wet watching this You could see them like turning their heads like holy shit Uh with the point of this though is that it was a really good test for how she ended up acting the whole the rest of that night And this is something I'll do Pretty much in every date now as soon as I can as soon as I get a make out I'm about to get a make out If the girl's long enough hair most of them do I'll do something similar to this to see how they respond And if they don't turn it into it, I mean, it'll be back off, of course But 90 percent of the time they are into it and it's so it's such a goofy little thing But you don't need obviously there's no rope. You're in public. There's no belt There's no you're not choking or your hands or anything like that, right? You're just grabbing her hair and you're gently just bringing it around and seeing what happens And for me, it's like a really good a little there's probably a pickup, you know term for it, but it's a basically a It's an escalation test for what's going to happen later tonight and I'm pinging for that And if she's not into it, I might even just back out.  We laughed about this last October 50 shades of gray was the number one selling Paperback book of all times of all time, right? There's a reason why I mean and that was the funny joke I mean my wife and I weren't doing good and actually downloaded that onto my ipad and I'm reading it in bed one night She walks by she what are you reading? I'm like, I'm reading 50 shades of gray I can't believe you're reading that trash, you know, and I'm like, well I'm thinking pretty much going to figure out what all these women are trying to you know Millions of women are buying this book and reading it for for some reason.    And that's actually very that was the best moves I made It was um, it was very positive interactions very genuine for the most part And uh, it was good to see that It was good to be it was good at that point for me anyway given my specific experience It was good to feel that you know a very natural desire and attraction And I didn't feel like she wanted to kill me or stab me or fucking It was real and I was like, uh, this girl's hot. See this girl's beautiful. Yeah, and it worked out really well But I was I didn't want to thought of that. Um, you know, it was kind of it was kind of random that it happened It wasn't on purpose but how'd I know and I would have done it even sooner Well, and that's something I'm finding is a lot of these girls like, uh, you know divorced three years ago april 1st uh, and I There were girls at that time that I was interested in and they were getting Uh, you know, they were getting married and they were in long-term relationships And so I kind of missed out on it and so I just kind of hung back and let it kind of simmer and just focused on myself For a while when now all of a sudden, you know within the last eight months I start seeing women start, you know hitting me up and going and I write a lot about that on my twitter timeline I say, hey, you know this girl is, you know, she's Starting to hit me up because they start to see that I've raised my value They start to see that all of a sudden I'm not I don't really give a shit anymore and all of a sudden It's just like, oh, well, he just kind of popped up out of nowhere and I'm like, well, I've always been here And so I've just been grinding Um, and so I've been noticing that absolutely been noticing that and to go you know to go back to the the point about You know sex when you're married.  So it takes away that that edge and it's just like well He doesn't care Every one of these fantasies is they want to feel like they are the object of They want to be ravaged.  I mean go into it with every bit of energy you got and make make her walk out bow leg and and not able to walk and And just and literally like She is that you just ravaged her and left her a puddle of goo, you know And and I think that when you start to look at it like that It'll change the dead bedroom. Like even if you get mercy sex, right?  Bam bam when you're over now, man go into do something different, right? She's still there Right, she's starfished for you right ever, but who knows maybe do something a little different this time I can say some of the biggest moves for me in terms of improving like my sex life Is being more impulsive and is doing what I want Keep but like you're saying keep it sane, you know safe and all these things Sane safe illegal. I think is what you're saying, right? That was same and consensual with how many times the guys out there go. Oh, I gotta make sure she gets off I gotta make sure she orgasms. Who cares When you get that attitude, I don't care. I'm gonna get mine. I hope you get yours right and you just I'm getting gravity pound away and have a good time right right and in the in the process of that She will lose all of her cares and abandon, but you get she gets in that middle frame where she's not worried about stuff And she's she's in another world and the other trick is to talk man You gotta use your voice You gotta tell her what you're doing and how she's looking to you and you just get in get in her head man I'll tell you this stuff Get in there.  It's not even the specifics of whispering and these other things Those are part of it.  That's the only way you're gonna. This is gonna work You've got to get in her head man.    I guess you'd call it. Yeah That's nice. I like that. That's good. That's good No, I had one woman who was so independent who was so She just she had a mind block about having orgasms. She just wouldn't do it because it did make her feel Weak it made her feel very, you know, you know, very vulnerable and you know, they they Especially ones who are independent who have been single moms for a long time or whatever They don't want to give up on that because they don't if they do that means that they're trusting you and they may not want to They may not want to do that so a lot of times till you find if a single mom came out of the marriage They will have you know, they will been like a blue pill kind of beta relationship with the sky And they were not getting there, you know masturbating or cheating all the time And sometimes they're not just they're not just rampant cheaters. Sometimes they just jerk off and jerk themselves off for years And they're like dying inside because it's not being dominated So they've lost I hear you're saying that they lose the ability to submit and to be submissive And they get over focused on themselves and they don't they don't have a man to please for years And so they lose that side of them kind of dies off They have to they have to rebuild that and that takes time for them too The same way guys to rebuild themselves into an alpha like you're doing so Yeah, it's it's very uh, it's a very difficult situation, especially if you're You know, if you've gone Years without it and so it's going to it's not going to be something that's quick And that's what most guys like you said earlier want they want it quick Uh, they want it easy. They want it painless and it's none of those and it's still it's three years And i'm still working and and every day and doing better and trying to continue to improve myself And I will never be done. I'll be done when i'm dead and that's about it Sounds good to me man.  I mean just it's That's that's the secret you can't you can't quit. I mean you just can't stop so And what's one of the more unusual things you've given us advice to someone hitting you up on dms and stuff like that for post post divorce dating uh You will and I don't know if you guys have ever got this but uh, man scaping Okay, man scaping. All right. I was not picking this I have gotten dms from guys about Manscaping and it was like they didn't I mean there was one guy that came up to me and dm and said what Shots too or what? Yeah, right because what what is manscaping and I said, okay, hold on a second So I stopped everything. I went into another room and I started typing to him and I was like Okay, if you don't know what manscaping is we're going to have a chat about this because he was married Uh two decades and never Manscaped this is another thing that we talk about, you know, you've got to be on your game with your And you can only imagine. I mean you can only I can't I can't even imagine. I imagine he needed a machete and a flashlight To grab that stuff out.  They just did not take responsibility for anything and it's like Even if I'm not having regular sex, I'm still manscaping even if I'm not, you know, it's just part of my regiment and it's like You know, I just it did but just blew my mind and I was and I talked to the guys and you just have to humor them because You know, these guys are They just woke up from a coma. They don't know what the hell's going on and it's plenty of the apes all over again So we're just you know, we got to show them what's going on and show them how to do things and Uh, that was probably the most uh, that's I've gotten probably three or four different dms on that guys who did not know What manscaping was or needed to know what to do Out of all the things I've ever done in the convention and the I don't even know thousands and thousands of emails and shit I have yet to get an email about manscaping You're in a different component of I did not expect this so that was Yeah, it was it just threw me for a loop because I just did not I just assumed and you know I mean there there was a time that I I knew about it my whole life and I did it and it was just like It was just natural to me But I took more care about it when I was in marriage You don't you know don't do it as much and especially if you're beta you don't do it as much Uh, and so now I'm just like I'm proving myself so I've got to take care of that stuff and it's like These guys just don't think about it and it's you just kind of roll your eyes and go. Okay. Well, we'll get you We'll get you we'll get you on the right path Yeah, I've heard this in other domains too.  Yeah I mean seriously because most guys don't have a clue right and you don't really think about it But but most don't and again, there's really no no one size fits all to fix all your problems but I will say um There's that 31 days to masculinity program will go a long way Towards spending the next 31 days trying to fix your shit And whether you're married whether you're single whether you're divorced whether you're in dead bedroom or whatever I I couldn't more highly recommend that book We we actually did that program on the fly back in 2017 in march And uh, just some some of us that knew hunter on twitter and next thing you know He was winging it half the time right, you know But the next thing you know, we got through 31 days and it was probably 15 or 20 guys It did and it was pretty freaking cool Next thing, you know, we drew it up into a book and since then we've been doing fraternity of excellence and been doing a couple You know once a year type of thing and I've seen this change guys live So I'm just gonna give a plug I since I don't know who this hunter guy is since he's not here But um, yeah, but I'm gonna give a plug to his his book and his program because that's a pretty good deal I am doing the believe it or not and for everybody watching I am doing the 31 days to masculinity on october 2nd So and the fraternity of excellence.

o Duncan-Holbert is in the program? we do receive ADA funding as well which would be we'd have to do work around that but it would actually be a really good location for us to do something with because we have significant absences but we can work with Heather and with Michelle Shear on thinking about how we can do it for the youngest students it has some complications but it's not impossible it just has some complications because of transportation and amount of staff that would be required to support their unique needs and that is something that the data is also showing our high absenteeism within SELPA but that's something that we're going to have to internally review those strategies and I would assume that even if for whatever reason we didn't receive ADA it's still a good investment because they're going to be trickling and right after I thought about it the answer is yes they do so they do? awesome I'm excited just a quick clarification because I didn't quite catch is this just for students who have absences but it's also available okay I wanted to make sure I was understanding that correctly it's for anyone but more looking at the excess of absenteeism it's open to everybody I had a question okay so have we ever asked the kids what kind of programs they'd like to see at Saturday school have we ever done a survey or gone into the schools to find out what kinds of things they'd like to see I know we have done it in some of the schools because I've heard it at the student forums I can't say that that's something that we've done at every school so that's a great suggestion we can follow up on that and the other thing I'd like to say is there's a lot of parents who aren't aware of Saturday Academy so I think we need to do a little bit of a better job and have a plan of rolling it out because I think if more parents were aware they would force their kids to take advantage of it we'll do we'll do we'll love it we'll love it got some questions so part of our high absentee numbers is an effective way of actually capturing the kids that are actually at school so I'm wondering since we're doing an all-in campaign can we talk for a minute about some of the improvements on capturing accurate numbers of kids that are actually in school so are you referring to taking role later in the so we're rolling out all those initiatives this year that's part of the work that we're doing just making sure that we're taking role at a later time that absences are actually being turned to tardies when they do become present and then just making sure that kids along with parents understand the impact of being gone you know I think for many parents sometimes especially in the middle and high school it can become a challenge to get your child to school when they don't want to go to school so that's one reason why student connectedness is a big focus for us for middle school because we want kids we know that they're social beings well we all are social beings and so we want them to be connected to school so I've said it frequently but my son although he was a good he probably would have been hard to get him to school if it wasn't for football he knew he had to go because he needed to go practice and if he didn't go to school he wasn't going to go to practice and so for each student it's different for some it's banned for some it's others but I think it's making them want to go encouraging parents to know that there's options when they don't go and then accurately assessing them and making sure that they're labeled correctly the great thing about LMI and we're scheduling our next meeting coming up soon is everybody wants increased attendance I think that that's something that we can all rally behind whether you're doing it from the instructional side of knowing it's good for kids or you're doing it from the financial side of knowing it's good for the district or just from the social emotional support side and that's why I mentioned it it's not really just about instruction but it's also if you have a student who is already depressed and then is staying home they're not able to access the supports we can give them when they come to school and plus that interaction with peers actually supports them versus the isolation of staying at home thank you so let's say we are accurately capturing attendance more properly and we increase our revenues by 2% which I think used to be a goal I'm not sure what our goal is now but let's say we are accurately capturing almost everybody and then we offer Saturday school and then we capture back all the absences but then there's more kids that attend Saturday school then we have absences can we actually use this as a revenue builder above the level of absences so we can only capture the days that they were absent we can't go get additional days on top of that okay so it's only the school calendar and the days that they were absent so when there are a group of kids because we open it to everybody who attend who might not have absences on the book are we getting ADA for those kids no only the kids that have been gone okay got it and then one of the things that we had talked about before it was offering an SAT prep class on some of these Saturdays for some of our kids but is that ever going to move forward we actually did it Aptos high end at PVHS just last year yes we offered one session at Aptos and we offered three sessions at PVHS and they were well attended so I know how PCS does it and it was an eight week class every Saturday I think and Sunday but one session probably is better than nothing probably not what we could be offering to improve scores well we definitely want to look I think now that we have Kristin on board but I think having a series is definitely more effective than having a singleton for sure and so we'll push towards making that a reality so that our scores keep going up yeah my daughter attended the PCS program and raised her score more than 160 points and it actually opened up a brand new scholarship situation for her so it has a direct impact on families and kids that they're not adding you know querying debt so I'd like to see that and then the numbers that you were just reporting Joe did not appear to be 40% back to the sites that was the two year but we have the breakdown as they do get 40% but that was the two year overall okay because you said that one of the schools got like a hundred and over a hundred thousand dollars and recovered 80 a but then the site only got 25,000 that that's not 40% yeah that was a I believe that was one year but all of the numbers did not equal 40% so I'm wondering what did you report like a gross and then not the net yeah that was based on the net but we have we did provide the 40% and one other initiative that we did as we broke down the 40% checks by quarter and so that's another incentive that we saw the benefit the sites so that's another option that we did but they did receive 40% okay so we'll look at the numbers and then provide you the revised excel okay sounds good thank you so overall we did get 50% growth as a program and we will continue to grow it so thank you for your support thank you I just want to really quickly probably need to hurry up you know I know one school where students are gone a lot is renaissance you know they just don't show up because I don't know it's further way or whatever they or they're just the credits they're just too I don't know but so that's one school where I think absenteeism is pretty high correct yes especially before last year so last year they made a great improvement on that but it is one of our most vulnerable populations and it is a long bus ride yes we've had significant conversations I know at the request of trustee diserpa we looked at having two bus routes a day we looked at several things trying to figure out how to get them there they do have a you know so but they did increase it by about 20% last year because it was extremely low it was about and I don't quote me but like 60% the previous year so they had a lot of students every day that didn't come to school so in terms I mean just looking at the idea of Saturday school you know I mean for example figuring out I mean if we could figure out where all the renaissance students are located and if they're not located right there if we could figure out them going to Saturday schools that are closer to where they live and they can almost even walk there whatever I mean the students can easily get to their Saturday schools and then they know that the Saturday schools will be fun the enrichment or whatever they're deciding that they I mean like that won't be a good place to ask the students what they'd like to see on Saturday schools that'd be a good place to do it you know so you know I was thinking you know how to do that encourage them and then obviously have the Saturday schools where not at renaissance obviously where you know where they don't have to take a bus to get to the Saturday school they can just do it you know close to where they live or something well I do love the idea of a satellite site it's not a bad thought so we can look into it for sure I know just knowing high schoolers they want to be with their peers that they see every day so we definitely want to cluster them so that they didn't feel like they weren't with each other but we can yeah we can look at a satellite location we can look into it for sure I know the Porter building is empty by the city hall okay so let's go to can we go to the next one so we can get out of here early enough not to have to extend the meeting now we're at the number 10 which is the consent agenda and there's not too many things that I hopefully you guys don't want to, well you can defer them but of course and the only thing I would like to say that there is a donation from Julian Grant's CPA and she gave a very generous donation of furniture and it was valued at 12,000 for the Watsonville High School school that's cool for them so is there any items the board wishes to defer yes okay wish to defer or make a motion to defer 10.10 and 10.12 okay so we're going to make a motion with a deferral does anybody else want to defer something can I just make a comment real quick I'd like to thank Michelle and the cabinet for putting 10.26 architectural agreement for Minnie White Elementary School I'm glad to see that's happening where is that one I'll make a motion with a deferral with a deferral so on 10 point call the vote so I'm calling okay for the vote so I'm calling the vote with the deferrals all those in favor of what there's left I okay so 10 point is the Carnegie one and the 10 point Alex one we'll see 10.10 so does anybody know how to help with 10.10 you want me to ask a question okay so 10.10 I know that we already have consultants with the SIPS program so what exactly is Carnegie going to be doing again how is it going to be helping the program sure so part of what we want to do is develop a systems map to identify all the levers we use during this implementation to be able to utilize it in all of our other implementations so what Carnegie has come forward and said that they wanted to do was to be able to help us develop this systems map so part of what they'll do and it will help us as we're moving forward so as you looked at my presentation we identified three levels of teachers belief in that what they will be doing is tracking and we're going to be doing what's called pilots with pilots within a pilot but pilots with saying okay if we do this treatment because it's going to be research-based if we do this treatment with this type of teacher what's the result of that we'll be able to help us to actually look at if we did this for three weeks with this set of teachers and this set of needs what is the result of that so they'll actually it'll be our staff doing the professional development but they'll actually be tracking the changes that are happening so that at the end when we're done with this we can say what were the key levers that we did so that we can make sure and replicate all the different levers that we did throughout the entire system to make this successful we can then say okay now let's apply that to the middle school math adoption implementation and we can know all the system levers that we actually want to do it will take pretty it will take quite a bit of time I think the most important thing is that we solidify it from an outside perspective that people so that we are thinking of it from all different vantage points and so Carnegie came and said they wanted to do this with us we're really excited about doing that work because I think it will build the capacity of everyone around us to do the implementation and understand why this implementation work versus others that haven't worked in the past okay so your goal is to take what you've learned from Carnegie and by evaluating SIPs and then use that to implement new curriculums in the future exactly okay thank you so you feel good about that okay and the next one is 10 oh yeah we have to move all those in favor of that one alright and then we're going to do 10.12 additional this is one Alex licenses it's you so question with this is we just discussed that we're implementing the con for grades three for eight so are these schools not using the con academy is that why we need additional licenses for them and is there a implementation process to get these schools on con academy so we're not paying out extra money for licenses yes so this actually Alex will be replacing the standard core curriculum so what is happening with this these and these additional licenses is that one of the hardest areas for us to fill this year has been and when you look at our vacancies and you look at our number of interns and waivers a lot of it is focused around our math and science middle school that has been the crutch which is really a challenge so we have many teachers in those positions which are multiple subject teachers that's great for classroom management and relationship building in general because especially when you're used to working with younger children that's a good thing it's not as good of a of a thing when you are doing high level math eighth grade math now is actually tremendously challenging and so what we're doing with these teachers because their understanding of math is not as high as we want we are doing parallel tracks meaning we don't want the kids to lose out so we are training them on the conceptual understanding of math while we're simultaneously having the students using Alex and Alex is a computer adaptive program that will actually replace big ideas so it's not in it's actually not at the exact same time of doing this the majority of these licenses will be at rolling hills we have two openings at rolling hills for middle school math too and that's a really big challenge so while we're struggling to find those teachers so we have we have credentialed teachers in them now but they are not credentialed in single subject mathematics so we're trying to do this in an effort to ensure that the students don't lose out in the process while we're trying to find highly qualified teachers well the teachers are present and the teachers still pull small group during that time so the teachers aren't not doing anything they're doing significant work during that time but the base curriculum that they're using is Alex instead of big ideas because in order to teach big ideas effectively you have to have a solid understanding of mathematics instruction which generally someone with the I said generally because it's not all generally someone with the multiple subject credential that slated to do elementary level children do not have a strong mathematics understanding maybe that's something we can get those students partnered with youth now too for some one-on-one tutoring that are more gifted and need to be more challenged that might be some type of benefit for them to meet with a high school tutor so that they're getting that experience thank you okay second all those in favor I okay we're done with the deferrals and so we're pretty much done with the agenda and yeah we're just going to do the defer closed session right okay motion number one closed session item 2.1 I moved to approve the certificated personal report as presented by district and administration in August 21st 2019 with 61 and 8 additional action items motion second all those in favor aye motion number 2 closed session item 2.2 I moved to approve the classified personnel report as presented by district and administration in August 21st 2019 with 65 and 17 additional action items second we made a motion right okay okay all those in favor aye announcement number 1 the Pajaro

Felly, rydyn ni'n dweud yn gweithio. A dyna rydyn ni'n rhan o'r pasion. Rydyn ni'n golygu, ond rydyn ni'n golygu'r ysgolion ac mae'r newydd sy'n sicrhau fydd yn gweithio ac yn gwybod i ddiweddol ac yn ymdweud y golygu'r giffeydd i fynd i chi'n edrych i chi'n fydd i'r byw ychydig a'ch gweithio'n gwyllfa yn gweithio. Rydyn ni'n gweithio i chi'n gweithio i chi'n gweithio'n gweithio i chi'n gweithio i chi'n gweithio. I mean I should have been doing this 20 years ago, but you know circumstances change in life. It's one of those where you don't want to stop work at 65, 70 because you're still enjoying what you do, whereas if I was to continue on on the road and doing at the moment, and you know we're sort of digital advertising, which I do enjoy, but you know I'm not as passionate about the current job as the future job. Once I had children that I realised that health was really important to me and my family, and particularly I love anything to do with longevity. You know I'm one of these people that's desperate to live to over 100, so health is really important and that has become my passion. I think most people think you know when they get to in their 40s they've got kids in a mortgage, they think well that's it really, now I've just got to look forward to retirement, no way. And that was part of my journey, part of my awakening. I just realised there's so much more that I can offer. I would love to do cancer nutrition or something like that and just help support people that are ill, support people that go to doctors and just spend years undiagnosed. I would like to help those people because I think that was what I would find rewarding to know that I've made a difference and if CNM can help me to make that difference in life, brilliant.
