I'm Rusty Kamori, and this is Beyond the Lines on Think Tech, Hawaii. I was the head coach of the Punahou Boys varsity tennis team for 22 years, and we were fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships. This show is based on my books Beyond the Lines and Beyond the Game, and it's about leadership, character, and creating a superior culture of excellence. My special guest today is the head coach of our University of Hawaii men's basketball team. He is Coach Iran Ganat, and today we are going beyond basketball. Hey, Coach Iran, welcome to Beyond the Lines. Thanks for having me. Really excited, looking forward to having a good discussion with you and growing from this as well. Coach Iran, you've been just a fantastic coach for us here in Hawaii, and I want to ask you if you can first share a bit about your background growing up. Yeah, I mean, pretty simple. Born in Philly, grew up in Jersey. I know it's surprising for some people to hear of my East Coast backgrounds, because this is a year 20 for coaching for me, but all in the West, but grew up in New Jersey, went to a small school, Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, I knew I played there to your captain, but my playing career was not going to continue. I loved the game, so wanted to still be around it, wanted a coach, and I got my first opportunity at St. Mary's. Spent three years at St. Mary's under Randy Bennett, went four years to the University of Hawaii, came back to the St. Mary's for five years, and now in my second stint at Hawaii, going into my eighth year as a head coach, so it's been quite a journey. It's been an awesome journey with great people. My wife here, we've been married since 2015, we raised our daughter Ziza, who just turned 11, is in basketball camp, so life is good. Now, Coach Iran, tell me about your relationships with legendary coaches Riley Wallace and Bob Nash and Larry Little. Yeah, I mean, one of the unique things is I've always been, that's the way I was raised, you study and immerse yourself into the culture and the program, state, all those things, to understand what you're part of, nothing better than representing a team, but also here we represent a state, obviously the university, a great university, and a great athletic department. So to get the odds weren't great, but how lucky was I to be able to learn under Coach Wallace the one year I could, because it was his last year, and learn under Coach Nash and Jackson Wheeler, and again, meet the guys, former players, former coaches who would come in and out, and Larry Little and Riley were really close, obviously they worked together, a coach worked for him, and so again to know him over the years, because when coach retired and he'd moved to Vegas, they were kind of inseparable in Vegas and at the final fours, and really sad to hear of his passing, he was such a great mentor to me, he was so good to me and so many people, and obviously my first in at Hawaii, you see him guy like Red Rocha coming in and out with obviously Coach Nash had played for him, so just the amount of former players, former coaches that I could be around, and players that I was able to coach, whether it was here or same areas, what an honor, and even as I, you know, now in my 20th year coaching, former, you know, really historic head coaches at our profession, any profession, anybody I could be around and learn and grow, I'm just so grateful that people, it was important to them to give back and hopefully I'll do the same, you know, a couple years ago we did our hundredth year anniversary here of our basketball program, and just to see those guys I had met earlier, meet new faces, bring former players, former coaches, managers, any support stuff back and celebrate the whole year, it was awesome. Now, Coach Iran, what is it about coaching that you love so much? You know, you always got to answer that, it's like, why do you play, why do you do what you do, why is so important, and so that's an easy question for me, I wanted to coach because I love the game, I love to compete, I love being part of a team, and then I love, you know, the challenges that come with that, so that's just, you know, the coaches were so influential for me, and we have kids, you know, guys at a critical time in their life, 18 and 22 year old guys, and so because they were so influential for me, it's something I wanted to do to give back, so again, I love the game, I love to compete, I love being part of a team, and don't take lightly the influence I and we have on these kids at a critical time. Now, Coach Iran, I love talking coach to coach here. Now, what do you feel the greatest coaches or the greatest leaders do? You know, more than anything, they promote and create an atmosphere that allows people to be successful and to grow, and they're consistent with that, so everybody talks about culture, that's not easy, it's not easy to build and it's not easy to protect and continue to maintain, so I think more than anything, the great coaches obviously put people in a situation to be successful and to grow, to fail, to succeed, to keep going, to keep moving forward, but more like I said, they provide an atmosphere that's consistent in terms of encouraging those qualities. Now, in terms of your leadership style, how would your players describe your leadership style? That's a great question because I'd say what I would hope it would be, and maybe those are two different things sometimes, and part of it I'd say, one thing I'd say is I hope they say improving, because just like we, you know, growth mindset is so important, you ask your guys to get better, we better be doing the same, so at the end of the day, I think it's consistent, demanding, but not the meaning, it's such a tough balance because you love your kids, and just like when you have a daughter, but you have to challenge them because you see what's ahead for them and how challenging the world is, so you have to create, again, a great atmosphere, I hope they say that he creates and his staff creates a great atmosphere for us to succeed. That's not easy, but it's necessary for us to improve, he's very consistent, he's very fair, he's very direct, he's very truthful, both with the good and the bad, and he's always there for us, so I think those are the things that are probably the most important for me, and it's hard to say I and me, you're asking me those questions, but I represent us, we, us, our, and our staff. No, I like hearing that, Coach Iran, and yeah, I mean the greatest coaches are always learning, which makes them greater and greater, I mean that's just, that's what happens if you're a great leader, and you've been building a culture of excellence with your team since becoming head coach in Hawaii in 2015, what, what do you really want your team identity to be like? You know, someone told me after a coach, we have to replay them, it's probably the best thing, when he sent me this message, I was like, bingo, that's what I'd like people to say about our team, and he sent a message after a game that said, your guys play like they love each other, so more than like, it's cliche, but team, team, team, they're tough, they play hard, they play for each other, they love each other, they're together through good and bad, but that one message I got was like, that is if I picked one, man, there's not much better you could say that or here, and so you got to continue to make sure that Hawaii basketball, when you play us, no team's going to play hard, they're going to play tough, they're going to stick together, and man, do they support each other, and you could see that with our teams on the floor, it's consistent with the X's and O's, let's say offensively, you play together, defensively, you play together, the special teams, facts, the press, the rebounding, they're together, their bench supports each other, when the players come out, they support each other, again, going back to, I can get more messages to say, well, your team plays like they love each other, we're in pretty good shape. And coach Iran, what I love about your team, you know, I always say that we're all in one of three situations in competition, we're either winning, losing, or tied, but your attitude and effort should always be the same, there's so many competitors where they, when they're losing, they perform differently versus when they're winning.  Well, we make everything a competition, and, you know, as you know, when you go through the motions, you'll, you're built, you're creating some bad habits, it takes a long time to build good habits, it doesn't take long to break them. And so the consistency, like we talked about earlier in practice and the wayroom, big on achievers on the court, off the court in the classroom, no one way, you know, some people say, well, I'm here on the court, I'm like this in the classroom, and there's one way. And so more than anything, we thank the parents of our players, because we gravitate towards guys with great character who understand that, and we have to catch them in moments when they slip. We're, it's human nature to be average, human nature is at times to let down, human nature is at times to hang your head, to celebrate too much, we want to enjoy success, we want to, it's got to hurt a little bit when you don't have success, you just can't have it out of control. Because it is, and basketball obviously would a great team sport, all sports.   And so the messaging from our staff, and then the leaders in our program, and they become each of the younger guys, the younger guys become the older guys, they show the way. But you see it at every level, everybody's got to fight that. And so the more we can catch it, the more we are, your teammates can catch that. It's human nature, but how quickly can you get back on the right path? So there's consistency in the messaging with our team, and we try to promote competition, everything we do to enforce that. Yeah, and just having that awareness is so important.  And, and coach Iran, what are your top priorities as head coach? It's a great question. I think we wear a lot of hats, all head coaches, as you know, and especially here in Hawaii, and the hats keep growing with all the new rules and things going on nationally. But at the forefront, it's number one is always make sure we got the right people. You could have the right X's and O's and all this and all that, but the right people aren't bored. Nothing really else matters. So I think I talked to you before, when I hire, we hire its character, talent, investment, great people, great coaches, great mentors, people want to be here. And the same with our players is great people, great players, and they all want to be here. So I think it's important to continue that message and make sure, number one, that when we are first, our meeting every morning is about our guys in a good place, everything good, and we go through each guy. And so, as you know, they're going through challenges and more challenges than generations before us with all the social media challenges they're faced in this COVID world. So, number one, I think it's making sure the right people are on the bus and the right people are staying on the right path. And then we talk about the X's and O's stuff, the program building that we're all dreamers in our program that we're supposed to make it better than we found it. We're supposed to think outside the box. I want our team and the staff and players that are innovators and dreamers, and I want to encourage that as well. So, making sure that our program is being run right in every area. And that's something that you spend a lot of time daily because, as we all know, it could slip in a second. I totally agree with you. And Poacheron, what do you do to get your team to buy in to your coaching philosophy?  But to be honest, one of the things that takes it up a notch in terms of what you just said is they, if you wanted to buy in, they got to be invested. So they have a voice and they've earned the voice. And it's great to hear these guys' difference. We have incredible human beings on our program, staff, players, and I tell anybody, as COVID is hopefully improving and you can be around them more, go introduce yourself. They will introduce themselves. They're impressive. It's our number one commodity. But on top of that, it's more than just what they do on the floor. These are intelligent young men, future leaders, great husbands and fathers in the future and all that. So it's great to hear, like one of the things we do that creates that buy-in is we start every year with letting them know about the history of the program, the history of Hawaii, history of state, history of the university, the athletic department. That creates a buy-in. Now they know to build for the future. I know this is something I've said since year one. You have to honor your past, honor your past. You got to know your past. So that's number one. And then two, you've got to, once they've earned the right and they do pretty quickly because who they are, you listen to them. I mean, we've learned as much from our players as we do from our coaches sometimes. They're on the floor. We're not on the floor. And the more they feel like they have invested, the more they invest and the more they're engaged. And I think that creates the best your team can be. And that's all, you know, there might be some ups and downs when you empower young men early, but the long-term benefits are significant.  I know you're not briefly talked about this before, but there's so much we do. And first of all, we eat together and nothing brings people together like food. So as often as we can eat together and as often we can eat family salad together, we do. And that's one. Then there's the one we talked about and immerse yourself in the culture and understanding who you represent. Do a lot of community service. Giving back is really important. So great team bonding. We've been to the Children's Hospital. We've been involved with Special Olympics, homeless shelter here, coaches versus cancer in the reading program, which has been great. So, you know, eating together, community service, and then we'll do stuff like on the road. We'll go to whether it's a game together or some kind of fun event together involved with the military obviously here in the bases. And we'll get again, get them involved in the deaths and ideas for team events. We hear their stories. Everybody, every year is a new team. And it's always good to hear each story out. There's nothing I love more. When you say, why do you coach? Because you can see a guy improve and grow. But we've had guys from all over the mainland, all over the country, internationally, learning about different cultures, it's awesome. And so every year we kind of start with each of these guys' stories, their backgrounds, their family situations. And there's nothing like that. So yes, the community service, the food, team fun events, going to the beach, sporting events, non-sporting events. I'm sure there'll be some new ideas that our guys present this year, which is gonna be great. Oh, I love hearing all of that. And you're right.  And yeah, definitely eating makes everybody happy.  You're somebody that definitely goes beyond the lines. And my number one priority as head coach was to develop champion athletes of character first and then great tennis players second. And I know earlier you mentioned about character. Tell me more about the importance of character to you. Well, it's like when we go around and we recruit a guy. Sometimes you recruit a guy and the first thing you see is their town. But we all, we have kind of as a staff, how good a worker, how good a teammate. Does he love the game? Does he love to compete? Does he love being part of a team? Does he low maintenance off the court? Does he want to improve? How is he in the classroom? How is he in the community? So all those things need to be checked off to be part of our program. And so in the character piece, obviously allows you to, because we all know you're going through some ups and downs. We've certainly had them from our first year to then, you know, rehabilitating our program, stabilizing our program and then here comes COVID. And then as we all know, we all deal with injuries and things like that. But we've never fallen off a cliff. It's not really where we want to be because the next breakthrough is something important for us and is coming. But when teams go through some of the stuff that we've been through, they can fall off a cliff. And so why, when people ask why have you guys not, it's because we have a great character and our guys stick it together and they look out for each other and they care for each other. And those guys, to be honest, are the ones who improve. So there's a lot of guys who may be further ahead from other kids at a certain age, but we kind of gravitate also towards people who we say the arrow is going up. You know, maybe he's got to get stronger or he's got to develop a skill set, but this is one of those guys you don't want to bet against or you don't want to compete against. His arrow goes up and other guys might be higher at a certain stage, but their arrow is the same or they'll be passed up. And once those high character guys pass up another kid, it's over because they don't know any other way. They're just, hey, they have success and they're hungry for more success. The earlier it comes, they look at it as a great opportunity to get better. And so that's, as you know, easy to say hard to do, but you got to find those special young men and then you got to, as a staff, it's a incumbent upon us to support them in a way they can make their next step. And Koucheran, the mental part of the game is huge. Not just in the game, but just having the right mindset in life in general. How do you get your team to have a championship mindset in basketball and in life? Well, we're fortunate. You know, we have a guy on our staff, Mike Thomas, who's the winningest player in school history, who's been on our 15-16 NCAA tournament. I've been part of five NCAA tournaments. John Montgomery has been part of, I think, more than that. And so, yes, on staff, we need to make sure we have guys who've been through it, what it takes. And then as you know, and we talked about earlier, just the opportunity to learn from different coaches, different sports, business leaders. I told you we're involved with the bases. And so we have kind of, yes, well, here's what we know, but it's always good to bring new voices. So we'll, I was telling you earlier, watching Nadal play tennis, you know, watch, make sure our guys are watching the NBA finals or any sport or business at their peak, and either watch how they do it or listen to them, learn from them. So your books, I'm an avid reader. Sometimes there's a lot of articles we share with their team. Here's a book we share with their team. Here's a guy we found out was in town. We want him to speak to our team, you know, coach the guy who's wanted to be a championship, to speak to our team. Or there's other guys at any sport that's been at the top of their game. So the simplest way I can say is, here's what we believe we need to do. And we've been there to do what we want to do, to win at a championship. And we kind of continue to have that embedded in everything we do. And then whenever you can bring a different voice in any field, because you can, as we both know, like, yes, I'm the head coach, you've been a coach. But there are the similarities between just being the best of what you do. The, the, the vehicle you use, whether it's basketball, tennis, business, I learned a lot from people who have nothing to do with basketball. And so the leadership books and different sports, different business avenues, I think that's what we try to complement what we do internally with our program. Yeah, for sure. I mean, we can, we can learn a lot about mindset from anybody and from whatever sports or business. And, and coach Iran, you mentioned earlier about some of the past UH basketball coaches that, that you admire. Who is one coach that you really admire and why? Such a good question. I mean, I know you, we were going to talk about it. First of all, the coaches who coached me, I'm going to end with one as a one off, but I remember every coach I've had. And so the influence they had on me, I'm so blessed and fortunate to be around great people. I went from my youth coaches to my freshman coach, JV coach, varsity coach. I went to play under, you know, my third home in a ten of my high school, Lee Wimberley at Swarthmore College. Then I started my coaching career. All those guys are huge. Randy Bennett at St. Mary's, the great coaches in the country. Then I went to work for Riley Walls, both those two coaches, obviously the winningest coaches at their respective schools. Bob Nash, I mean, it's, it's not often, that's why I tell people how blessed I was to not only play for and work for great coaches, but great people and mentors. And so those guys are all incredible for me. If there was one coach outside the direct, and I follow that I didn't play for a coach, it's probably Greg Popovich. For a lot of similar reasons that I, and I've been fortunate to been to his training camps and he was really close with Randy Bennett. He was really, really close with my college coach. So he gave us some access that you maybe not going to have before. And just to watch, it's so funny. These guys are pro guys and just like our camp, and we're telling our guys, we start with the fundamentals and the basics and the culture. And it's not different at the elite level. But if there was one coach to answer your question outside of the guys I played and worked for, it would be Greg Popovich for, not to obviously as the winningest coach, one championships, but the way he does it on an all-encompassing level, how he cares about his guys as players, as people off the court in all areas, how he's very balanced with what's going on in the world, certainly someone I look up to.  And I like that you said that. And Coach Aron, what's an important lesson you learned in life so far? All about people. I know you've probably heard me say it all over this show, but it's all about people. And I say it's our recruits and our guys. If you do what you love, first of all, you're never going to be good at anything if you're not happy. And in order to be happy, you got to do what you love, wear your love with people you love, which I'm doing now. The last caveat is you got to do that where you're improving. There's nobody's happy if they're not getting better, right? So to be able to coach the game with the people I get to work with on staff, players I get to coach, the administration I get to work with, the people in the community in Hawaii, in Hawaii, obviously. So I'm doing what I love, where I love, people I love and I'm growing and getting better. I'm challenged by people here and our staff. So the best thing I can say is because if I, anyone around me says, hey, he loves the game, he loves to compete. But if I was just like for anybody, if you were doing what you love, but not with the right people, you might not love it. So the best thing I can say is in every decision I've made, and I encourage people to do that, is make the decision number one about people and do what you love, wear your love with people you love, and that you're getting better. And Coach Irvan, you've been building a lot of great relationships because really that's what it's about, what you just said there. And because it's all about people, like you said, and that's about relationship building. And I want to ask you, Coach Irvan, what are some of the bigger challenges that you deal with as coach? Well, I mean, our challenges are always as a coach is, let's say, on an overview, making sure our program continues to run in the highest integrity, on the court, off the court, in the classroom, and keep it that way with all the challenges going on. Now, in terms of coaching our individual kids, to continue to what our job is to foster team, the foster team, and with the challenges going on. So we talked earlier about how tough it is for the youth, and even as they get to us at 18 and 22-year-old, defining success has changed for some of these guys. They have the challenges, yes, from COVID, and not having some of the things that we were fortunate to have during that time. Because I've always said that COVID has been very difficult for everybody, every profession, but can you imagine if it affected our childhood? And then two, with social media and the pressure that these kids face, we didn't have to deal with that to that extent, certainly in generation before me. It's now, we grew up where kids want to do well, they want to please, they want people to be proud of them, and that's a great thing. But it used to be you want to make your parents proud of the people that you care about, you know. And now people have defined success a little bit too much in terms of what people they don't even know, think about them. And so with all these distractions that kids have now and the challenges, if anything, and it's a great challenge, hey, we live for challenges as coaches, right? So how can I continue, or how can we as a staff continue to encourage team and continue to find success for team for our guys with all the challenges that enforce at times the opposite? Coach Iran, I want to ask you one more thing before we wrap up. You just started again, you restarted your Hawaii men's basketball kids camp. And tell me about that right now.  So we used to, Hawaii used to have two four day camps. That's not enough. We introduced an August camp, really successful. And then this last weekend, we had a team camp never had before. But in 2019 was the last time we were able to have camps. And so those were record breaking numbers. And then we haven't had camps in three years. So there's nothing better, just like we say with our guys, but same with kids, we got great kids in the community who come to camps every year. We get to see them during the course of the year, but when we see them for camp, you see the jump they've made, they've grown, they've got better. And then all the kids we talked, we talked the same time you and I are having, we had with our campers. So it's about relationships.  Because a lot of you guys know each other, but there's about a lot of other kids you've never met that you will now become friends with for life. And now that the camps can come back. So there's nothing better than the community, there's nothing better than the kids in the community. And just to see these guys running around the stand share center and our practice gyms with our players and with our coaches, see the smiles on their faces to provide an atmosphere for them, an environment for them to work on their skills and fundamentals, things they can take home with them. It was tough to not have a lot of things over the last three years and certainly camps were one of them. So just to see them run back on the core was a moment. And now we're going to build back to breaking numbers again and adding new camps. I think we'll try to add a parent-child camp in the future. Here comes our team camp and I think it's awesome. And I know our kids, one number one, we bring in great character because, you know, some of the most recognizable people in the state of Hawaii are the student athletes at UH. And certainly we, basketball guys are tall. They don't have a helmet. So people recognize them. So heck yeah, they better be pretty influential for these young kids. And I have said this over the years, but you work your tail off in life to be in a position of influence so you can give back. And so if these guys or our staff are in that position, we better do our part. I feel strongly that we do. We'll continue to do better in that regard. But seeing things come back and seeing these campers is another avenue for us. And it's exciting. I'm so happy that things that the kids camp is back for you. And Coach Iran, I want everybody to support you and your team. You're a man of great character, a great coach. And I really want to thank you for joining me on the show today. I appreciate it. And we'll continue to do our part and we'll continue to improve and do better. It's such an honor. I'll finally invite you to the show. So I'm excited to be on here. And I appreciate the time.

Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video I am going to be reviewing Becca's new collection They collaborated with Khloe Kardashian and her best friend Malika. I believe it is So together they came out with two palettes a little glow powder and four lipsticks I do have the bronze blush and glow palette that Khloe made and then also their glow letters So if you want to hear my thoughts on this then just keep watching So Not gonna lie. This was a release I was a very very skeptical about because when I first saw these palettes I mean what does this remind you of immediately potentially something that Becca came out with a few months ago that I reviewed and That did not sell well because it's been on sale for forever. I Can't be the only person that thinks that and so for that reason I didn't want to pick this up because I mean I don't know how makeup is made, but it almost seems like they couldn't sell these so they kind of Repackaged them. I don't know dude. I don't know but anyways. I saw the collection in stores today So I did pick it up I couldn't resist and so I'm here to tell you kind of the differences between the B light palette and also just my overall Thoughts of the collection so really quickly. I'm gonna show you what I purchased from the collection So first we have the bronze blush and glow palette I picked up the Khloe line because that is for lighter skin tones So it comes in this very pretty mirrored packaging with Khloe hearts Malika Hashtag Becca BFF's heart on it really cute packaging mirrored very similar to the B light mirrored packaging And then you open it up and you have one highlighter two blushes and a bronzer Now this particular palette retails for $44 you can get it right now in stores at Ulta also on Becca online And it will be available in Sephora on December 26 Also in the collection is the Malika version of the palette and if you don't know she does have a darker skin tone I didn't buy it because I'm pretty pale But I did take a picture in stores and I did swatch it and I will say this palette is Significantly darker than the Khloe one You have a much more orange blush and then a deeper rosier pink blush the highlighter would definitely not work on me at all It's definitely way too deep and the bronzer as well. So that one is definitely for more deeper Complexions and yeah, so I will say between those two there is a significant difference So I don't know for some reason you buy two of them. They are very very different So I also picked up the glow letters now this comes in like a really cheap small cardboard packaging You lift the top and then you're going to get a little protector over it And then this is where the disappointment started to happen. You get literally just like ten X's and O's I thought the packaging itself was going to be bigger.  This is $18 I mean $18 is a lot for little doodads like this I don't know. I think they're kind of skimping you out on your money because the packaging on this isn't even nice I mean that being said it is $18 which compared to a lot of things from Becca that is more on the affordable side But I don't know this is just very underwhelming if I'm being honest the concept of it is very cute But I'll wait till we get more into the details of the product and the collection also came up with four lipsticks Two from Chloe and then two from Malika I will say the nude in the Chloe was deeper than the nude from Malika Which I thought was interesting and Chloe's red shade was also more on the orange sides than Malika Honestly, I liked all four. I feel like they would look decent on my skin tone I didn't pick them up just because I did not need another lipstick but the lipsticks There's like nudes and reds and I think they are really pretty but they are pretty plain, you know Not extremely unique. All right So I'm going to start off with my thoughts on the bronze blush and globe palette and compare a little bit to The be a light face palette so these colors do have names so I'm going to start off with how I applied them So I first started off with cocoa bronze, which is a satin matte Bronzer and I put that all over my skin. I will say immediately this palette is a lot warmer than I thought it was going to be Particularly this bronzer. It actually is very very warm. It doesn't look quite as warm in the pan I also tested this out on my mom who has a medium skin tone And if you are a medium like a lighter medium skin tone I definitely would recommend getting the Chloe one because this one worked on her just fine I feel like the Malika would have been too dark on her and honestly on my mom's medium skin tone It's actually turned out a little bit orangey on her now It wasn't like a crazy orange, but it definitely was much more warm than I was expecting So I did go in with a light hand on the outer three of my face. It is a pretty bronzer It didn't scam so on this side of my face I use the fabula city radiant blush and then on this side of my face I used fierce so what I want to say about these blushes is is definitely more of a warm peach Direction so this one I actually really liked on my cheek. I really liked how it showed this one. I think it's too light It's almost like a highlighter a highlighter that's slightly too dark on me But if you are a medium skin tone, this is almost like a highlighter on you What I don't like about these blushes is they have such a strong gold shift to them that it's very Unf flattering on your cheeks if you have pores So if you have a lot of pores on your cheeks, this blush formula is going to emphasize that I love a radiant blush, but this is shimmery and it's just not I don't know It's not my favorite blush formula I would tend to use Blushes of that formula as more of a blush topper rather than just a blush So the gold shift particularly on the lighter color was very very strong and it emphasized my pores and my imperfections and I am not Mmm, I did like the deeper blush a little bit more But again that one still had that golden shift that I'm not crazy about now Then we have the glow up soft focus highlighter now. This is a nice highlighter. It's really glowy It's really beautiful. I truly actually really like this highlighter So overall the bronzer is okay. I don't really care for the blush formula I think the shimmer is too strong, but the highlighter is really nice But really quickly I do want to compare it to the be a light packaging now What I noticed about this particular bronzer formula is they don't swatch well So you can't really see the swatches too well But I did swatch with the be a light on top and then the Chloe palette on the bottom The bronzers kind of look the same But you can see that the bronzer in the Chloe palette is warmer Just as I said it's a pretty warm blush It is very different from the one in the be a light and this is the light to medium palette by the way The blush in the be a light is much more pink definitely with the Chloe collaboration She went a lot more peachy warm now The big difference is in the highlighting powder in the be a light it honestly it's much more white The Becca has much more of a golden shift and the Becca is also more pigmented and has more of a shine to it The highlighter in the Chloe palette is way better than the highlighter in the backup palette the be a light How there's much more natural and honestly falls a little flat so to be honest These are kind of similar formulas But between the light palettes and then the Chloe palette they are quite different if you did love this palette I would look into this palette personally with the blush in the be a light I wasn't too crazy about it because that shimmer was too strong and it's the same here So I just don't like this formula of blush from Becca. Also, this is like more of a face setting powder and the Chloe palette didn't have that so yeah I would definitely say these are different enough that you can have both was very very skeptical about it also something I wanted to point out was the highlighter in the medium be a light palette It's actually similar to the blushes But just to give you an idea of how shimmery these blushes are the blushes are more shimmery than the highlighter in the medium palette So if you like a really shimmery blush, I mean go for it But I find it to be a little bit unflattering on the cheek. Alright, so let's move on it to the glow letters And I mean I've already kind of expressed my opinion on them. I just So it's really tiny. It is only $18. It's cheaper than the lipsticks the lipsticks are 24, which are like Pretty up there. I don't know. I feel like this is almost too cheap This is something that the drugstore can do very underwhelming when you open it because there's very few Exes and O's and hearts and that anyways, so this is described as Highlighters for the face and the eye. I didn't use them on my eye I will say I almost didn't buy this because honestly, this isn't really for my skin tone I think this is too deep of a color for me I did kind of use that as a bronzer topper for the sake of this video But honestly, I would never really do that in real life. It does have a pretty strong gold ship So when I do turn in the lights and I look closely I can see like my forehead looks gold and personally not too crazy about that This is just a weird color for my personal skin tone It's like too dark to like really give my face a glow But it's too light to really give my face a bronze. I just I don't know what to do with this product I feel like if you were of a more medium skin tone, you could appreciate this more and if you were deep This is straight a highlighter for your skin tone I feel like for my skin tone the most beneficial purpose for this would be to kind of buff it into my skin Before I go to the beach. Honestly, I feel like this is kind of gimmicky if I'm being honest I'm not really that into it. I think the colors awkward. That's all I'm gonna Say on that So let's backtrack to my overall opinion of this collection. I think the lipsticks are pretty Haven't used them on my lips, but they're I'd imagine they're nice. I like the colors. They are pretty I just I need to chill the bronze blush and glow palette. I think is better quality than the be a light palette I'm not gonna lie. I like the color choices better. I like the formula for the highlighter better It's not my favorite though Which just kind of and you have to like a lot of glow to really enjoy this palette as well Okay, and then the glow letters. I personally just don't recommend them I just don't think they're that nice. Anyways, that's just my opinion on the Becca and Chloe and Malika Collection, I hope you enjoyed this video comments on below your thoughts on this collection I was curious if you guys were interested in it or not and I will see you guys in the next video. Bye


Welcome back to 21 patriarch. I found out about Elliot Hulse probably like a lot of people did I was watching some YouTube fitness guys and got Elliot came up in the algorithm and so when I found out he was gonna be here my exposure to him or just these little short clips and You know Elliot's talking about lifting and moving strong things and I thought this is kind of a meat head sort of guy That's who he is and then we went out for a lunch And I learned there's three things about Elliot that I like number one He's an iceberg so you have what's above the water But as we talked it became very clear to me This was actually a very deep considerate man And he just knows how to speak things the way us guys like it which is plain and to the point Then as I got to meet his wife I realized he was a family man that he actually has a Family that he loves and cares about and respects them and I've had the opportunity to meet his daughters who are simply lovely Very feminine very respectful beautiful happy anytime you see happy daughters and a happy wife You know a guy is doing something really good the third thing that I've learned about Elliot I saw this last night. We were out by the pool when Elliot's with the guy He is listening to them very with intensity It's almost scary because he looks into you your eyes and he's not thinking about what he's gonna say next He's actually just listening to you and he cares what you have to say So Elliot is a man of depth He's a man of the household a man that cares about marriage and family And he's a man that legitimately cares about whoever is in front of them at any given time And that's why I've come to deeply respect Elliot is one of my favorite people To to see when I come down here to Florida every year. So would you welcome Elliot right now to the stage? So my talk is about masculine initiation obviously and that's a term that maybe sometimes we hear and can romanticize for lack of better terms, but make it seem like it's something more or maybe Grand or base than we really understand, but it's built into our DNA and structure as men and today I'm going to show you how but first I'm going to begin with what in Society of uninitiated men looks like just look around us when men When boys are born Their boys until they're made into men When girls are born Nature takes course and they become women one of the big misconceptions that we have in our society And I think it's a byproduct of some Subversion is that you should just know how to be a man any conversation about The definition of a man or what is a man or the need for Teaching about being a man is often met with Resistance who are you to say what's a man who are you to tell a man? What is a man who are you to? initiate men into men and so men have been left to be boys when we have a society full of boys and I propose that one of the great losses of our time That was thrown away with all forms of tradition is this timeless eternal ever present within our soul and in our bodies pattern for initiation this initiation is biological it's Psychological and when I use that word Psychological or psyche we got to remember that much of our mystical language or our spiritual language has been medicalized by The world we live in today this is culture we live in right day the psyche is the soul and so it's it's something soul and It's something eternal It's a part of the pattern of life the spirit of life. We see it all around us, but as Rational creatures we can see it and we can Prepare for it and we can facilitate these natural processes just like we know that when it's Summertime that in a in a few months. We better start preparing for winter We see the pattern coming and so we know how to initiate ourselves into new annual cycles You know that it's not going to stay summertime. It's not going to stay fruitful It's going to become dark very soon and it's going to become cold very soon And we had better prepare ourselves for that leg of the journey the annual journey When we were more agrarian we were more in touch with that But we still see those seasons around us and we are affected by them deeply as well as superficially Initiation is happening whether we know it or not That's really what I'm saying whether we acknowledge it or not whether we facilitate it or not you are being initiated into something Hopefully something better, but we're always moving from one version of ourselves Into another version of ourselves from one state of being into another from hopefully a less mature version of ourselves boys into a more self-actualized Mature version of ourselves which are men which is men There's a system that our ancestors understood Cross-culturally anthropologists have discovered that there are principles To this masculine initiation. It was never random as it is today when initiation is Not recognized and honored by elders which strong process and desire to see men flourish boys are left with pseudo initiations These pseudo initiations come in the form of gangs Promiscuity is a pseudo pseudo initiation. Let me give an example I've known of young men who when they become the age That they start having testosterone their fathers or big brothers took them to see prostitutes That's the initiation now into a man Well, is that so does that really actually mark the difference between a boy and a man that you can put your dick into a woman and blow Your load. I'm not so sure Backtracking to women just since we brought them up nature initiates them Now they do also need the teachings of elder women, but The line is very Obvious the sentence ends with a period. You're now a woman that doesn't happen with a boy with a boy into a man There are some biological markers but We have to be more conscious our ancestors understood this about What are we going to do with the? Raw stallion that's arising in this boys body and mind so that he could be of best value to himself and best value to our Culture our society our tribe our people I discovered initiation most brutally in My 36 year of life Many of you guys know the man on the right there. That's yo Elliot was a version of me that was Fully formed in a particular Useful ego version of myself that the world came to love But right around the age of 36. I fell into a dark place and that's what you see in the middle there. I Fell into a realm of unknowing Unstability totally unsure of myself not Convinced that who I've been is Really who I'm being called to become and be for the world although he was so pleasing to both My ego my life and to the people that watched me and love me and praise me and well Also gave me ample Reason to be proud There's a pattern there, too. I'm sure we've heard it probably before the fall But I allowed myself to go deeply into this catabasis Catabasis is a word that means going down in Greek They understood as most of our ancestor cultures understood that There will be Catabasis or death before there's rebirth in the life of every single man And if that catabasis is not recognized appreciated facilitated dealt with with care Handled in a Respectable honorable resourceful way Well, then we get what we get when we see most men who fall into a dark pit Suicide drug addiction Destruction of family self-destruction This is one of the things that's plaguing men today more so than ever the taking of our own lives because we don't understand that That sense that we should die is Normal and natural, but it's not about our physical bodies. You don't have to off yourself Your ego just needs a breakdown and a rebirth into a new order I also have to point out that Like I said earlier, you can't stop the seasons. You can't stop the patterns. We know that it's summer But winter is coming We like to think that our lives are consistent and stable and that we're going on a very linear trajectory towards something But that's never the case in anything we see happening in our world It's unnatural What we do live in is a world of spirals We see it in the hero's journey We see it in the seasons of the year We see it all over the place Even the structure of our DNA or spiraling they say that the universe some scientists say that the universe is spiraling All the planets are literally just spiraling into outer space so I say that because if if we don't recognize that in our own lives and Prepare for that or prepare our young men for that through teaching and guidance then It's going to happen anyway The draw towards gangs there's some good expressions of this is draw it towards sports football was very important as a means of initiation that fulfills all of the requirements for a Pseudo initiation, but a resourceful one. So they're out there your football coach Puts it on you and smashes you in your face and makes you get down in the dirt and do hard work But if we don't have that God's gonna do it for us One of the big differences between that guy and the one in the middle Is that that guy had both arms intact? God popped my both biceps Before I got into that and tore my Achilles tendon and I fell on my head and I hurt myself and I was broken damaged dejected and depressed That's a blessing from God saying hey if you're not gonna do it. I'll do it for you. I didn't know This is a guy a little more akin to what you see in front of you today, but I'm still changing That process from order to chaos to new order is Happening in your life and you're at some particular Stage in this process all the time It'd be good if there was a map wouldn't you agree for how to navigate this? Well, I propose that there is a part of the map that's Very evident in the world around us It's found in something we learn in high school biology Now I'm gonna start from the very crude, but we'll get very specific soon. I Don't know why I remember this, but it's one of the few things I remember from biology in High school and when I started learning about the process of initiation in these cycles of life I keep I Recognize it in this right away This is cell division or cell mitosis short story. It's one order the single cell Going into chaos Prophase you see there starts to be a breaking down of things There's a little bit more chaos and then those lines represent tension. There's tension happening inside the cell and there's chaos Until there's a split and then at the end of that process you have a higher order of things two cells the one cell doesn't become two cells or the Single organism doesn't become a multi organism a higher version of itself or complex version of itself unless it goes through The stages of mitosis a breaking down a chaos a destruction Now this is beautiful because it's built into our nature and doesn't require conscious attention Cells don't build societies So it's all sort of built in in an animal way in a natural way But for man this happens whether we like it or not But the new order needs a sense of meaning and structure Well, what is the new order and what am I ordered to? What is all this chaos going into my life and what am what am I being? charged with destroying within me that's where that sense of Wanting to commit suicide comes from there's a despair with it, too Because we feel like we're alone, but we're all going through this so we're not and There are principles for honoring it so that they're we're not lost. We don't lose our boys to a feminists see degradation or death we see this collectively as well this does this process or this Cyclic your nature the nature this spiraling of life doesn't just happen in the individual I've Pointed out how it happens in nature We see it down to the cell division level The universe is spiraling But so is mankind We see it collectively in our societies and most of us are very obvious or very We're aware Specifically most recently with this cycle itself Strong men create good times Good times create weak men Just think about the cell mitosis there starts to be a break within the order and the structure Good strong men good times equal structure and order Discipline and groundedness surety clear clarity when weak men are Involved we're unsure There's shakiness. There's chaos. There's something being stirred up within We can men create hard times. We're there Things are breaking down. It seems dark chaos Insues and seems ever-present and pervasive Almost like you can't get away from way through it away from it because you can't God's doing it too. The whole Bible if you're paying attention Is the same thing through? In the grace of God lost the grace of God in the grace of God lost the grace of God in the grace of God Lost the grace of God hard times create what strong men which means a new order is arising that process can be hijacked though But I don't think God will allow it It has to be a divine order a higher order every single time Otherwise it's degenerate We've been initiated into degeneracy and that's why we still have a sense of angst So we see this all over order chaos new order So when it comes to classic initiation What our ancestors knew? Mercer Eliade and Victor Turner or two of the greatest anthropologists to bring forth this Understanding of this ever-present process through all different types of cultures It's not a Western thing. It's not an Eastern thing. It's not a European thing. It's not an African thing It's not a Native American thing although it seems as if we can only point to those Cultures to show us how it's done, but that's not true That has been romanticized. We're Western men and there's a way for us, too But no matter what culture what time when this was honored There were set of principles and patterns that they knew One of which is the overarching pattern and it is always like this There's a removal of the boy from the world of the mother He must have a clean break from the world of the mother that literally means mother Think about the world we live in where there's so much mommy attachment single mothers and mama's boys There's neither here nor there, but it just shows you where we are In order for that boy to become what he sees in front of him He needs two things the removal of the boy from the world of the mother And it takes both women and men to recognize and facilitate this process But the mother can't do it alone. Obviously There's an atonement with the world of the father a movement into Order the word father comes from Patriarch Pater where we get the word pattern What is spirit but pattern I mentioned the pattern of the cycles That we're living in in our world. That's called God's clock That's his pattern. God is very intelligible if we're willing to pay attention especially in the natural law So it's an atonement to the natural law. It's an atonement to God the father That then gives the boy meaning and purpose and vigor and focus on Creating good times Carrying his torch carrying his sword He knows what's wrong and what's right today just for contrast We have no clean break from the mother Literally and metaphorically we're stuck with mommy Now it's either because there's Destruction in the family literally and there is no father or there's a father or if the father is present It reminds me of my friend's father is growing up. I always wondered why they were always fat and funny My dad was lean and mean So the father is there, but he carries no Image of the father. He carries no real masculine imprint. He's still a boy, too Gyno-centric world that makes it such that mommy's to look be looked to for all kinds of guidance and meaning But this is a perversion. It's wrong you can get a 190-pound six foot seven football player that would smash all of our faces to pieces Big strong tough guys. Would you say something about his mama? He'll break down and cry But not just that Take his cell phone from him and see what happens Give it back. Give it back. Give me back my Give me back my porn. Give me back my weed. Give me back my drink. Give me back my food I got to eat Give me back my sensual gratification and comfort and material sensational Suck or Any kind of attachment any kind of sin any kind of Disordered pleasure that keeps us stuck is a symptom of being stuck in the world of the mother All those things that soothe Is because we're craving our mama's tip So there's always a form of austerity With the removal of the work from the world of the mother You're physically removed from the mother and the fathers would do it I put this book iron John because I learned a lot about this from this book in particular and others as well for example, the boy is showing signs that he's Riding the red horse, which means testosterone is coming up That horse gets to be broken. Otherwise. He's a useless stallion Nobody can ride it and as a man were worth what we can do This idea that being avant-garde and free doesn't exist for us then work that way That's maybe available for women in a different way to though No, we get to be broken So that we can rise up a new and useful The fathers may come in and there's I'm gonna talk about process in a moment But I'm just gonna share this one as a just one example The elders the fathers the men of the society would break into the Dwelling of the boy with his mother Boy has no idea what's going on because they keep it quiet because there must be a shock to break the ego Ship him away from his mother Who would he's crazy men taking me away? Oh, you're about to learn The mothers would play along as well because they knew well the boy must become a man today Many fathers want to instill masculine values into their sons But their mom is too afraid and won't let them you can't take that boy out there and do that You're not gonna take care of him the right way. You're not gonna love him the way I love him no because a father's love is critical a mother's love She'll love you till you rock Father loves you in a way that builds you up So that has to be it has to be Cultural everyone must know and be on the same board for turning this boy into a man Movement of the way away from the world of the mother atonement with the world of the father the world of the father is the world of order a new order when the boy is removed from The old order of boy, he's broken through austerity and challenge fasting all Creature comforts removed. You're gonna stay out in the hot sun You're going to lay on this pile of ants and let them eat you you're going to and They all require a wound Tell you why in a moment pseudo initiates understand this and that's why they do hazing But there's a purpose to the wound because it's an opening so that the ego Becomes permeable and a new seed can be planted in So this isn't sadistic Pain this is a medicine to open the womb or the wound That becomes a womb The reason why God for me and for many of us will be the same use my body To tear apart For this process. It's because you needed to break into my armor So that there will be an opening and he could plant a seed. That's what the austerity is about They might make a boy jump off a cliff with a bungee. They might make him chasing Wrestle a bear all kinds of wild crazy things now They wouldn't make him do that if the men didn't know how to Help him do it, but the whole idea is to put him into the face of fear expose him to challenge and pain How many boys ever get an opportunity to expend spirits challenge in pain like I say you take away their cell phone and their Hot pockets and then they're gonna cry all day and believe that that you owe them something Where's my lucky charm cereal mom? It's not here yet.  My baba my comfort so classic initiation includes that movement and it's always present Going deeper by the way I Got a backtrack a moment Forgive me. I Kept reminding you that I experienced this at age 36 And it was great because about that same time I was open to learn the things that I'm learning right now and it was God's doing so that I could share this with you But in retrospect, I also began to recognize that at age 24 I Had the same problem. I Didn't know where I was going what my life was about and I had no semblance of grounding Had my first child we were living in my father-in-law's basement I had just got fired from a job and I was broke I had no idea what I was gonna do and where I was going and then I remember between the ages of 12 and 15 Having the same sort of thing I'm drawing the pattern for you that I should have drawn earlier But this cyclical patterns of 12 Between 12 and 15 years old There's a complete Removal of the old and a stepping into the new it's most obvious one that we know because that's when a testosterone grows but age 24 is interesting because I See more men come to me at that age than any other That's the median age of the men who've generally over the past ten years made their way into my life They're looking for an initiator because at age 24. They don't know what the hell to do with themselves Total confusion and chaos in life am I a boy or am I a man? You're in the threshold you're in Catabasis and you'll be all right Wish I would remember to say that before but this reminded me because when I got to age 36 I could look back and things started clicking and making sense And so God placed it in my life To see this in myself See it in the world and then gave me resources to facilitate the process first for myself and for men Knowing the movement away from the world of the mother and entombed with the father is good But there also has to be structure because God is a God of order He doesn't leave us to our own devices Never he's always got a plan if we're paying attention And a lot of times we can decipher the plan by just looking at what he's doing There are four requirements for the movement from one stage to another initiation Requires these four processes without these firing on all cylinders. We fail the number one thing that must be there are Elders There's no movement away from the world of the mother and atonement with the world of the father spirit meaning purpose clarity in life if there are no fathers if There are no elders if there are no grown men that understand this and have compassion and a sense of purpose For what these boys will become? clarity not this You have your truth. I have mine Not this. I just want you to be a nice person. I Just want you to be happy doesn't exist No boy What is your purpose and what are you doing and let's get as clear as possible about that? Elders carry that Because they are it and an elder men showed them it and brought them to it and So it's the same thing that they do with young boys and when I say young boys I don't necessarily mean teenagers all an uninitiated men age 14 24 36 49 it doesn't matter It's always going on and it doesn't just happen at those intervals. That's just a spectrum. It's just a map It could happen when God decides it's time for you in your life Here comes a crisis now.  That's a part of what catabasis is It's a digestion of sorts A removal of the waste and an integration of what's useful so Bringing it back Elders must be present We know we have a problem Process must be present now that movement away from the world of the mother and atonement with the world of the father is the overarching theme, but they're done different ways depending on the culture But it's always there If you're living in Aboriginal Australia, it might look different than boy in the Swiss Alps But it's always there and the elders know the process process Also includes and it's a it's sort of mixed in with all of this ritual symbol Theater Imagery sounds Physical Experience it's not a it's not a cycle. It's not a mental thing Real elders that understand process that understand art and Beauty I listened to Arthur yesterday anybody else here did too. What did he say about art and its ability to subtly? Penetrate our soul this process isn't just a rote process. It's not just a step-by-step thing It's Mystical in nature. It's religious in nature It's symbolic It's spiritual and it's also very physical So you'll notice those things as well one example for would be There's a Aboriginal tribe that's mentioned in one of the books that I've read learning about this stuff where they would Knock a boy's tooth out boom knock his tooth out every man in the tribe is missing one too Well the tooth is missing, but it's also a symbol and it represents the Death and rebirth he's experiencing that they tie back to their ancestor Darwala They have their meaning too So elders in process Sacred space the only way that this happens in a resourceful way is Inside a container Just imagine you got raw dough and you want to turn it into baked bread, which is useful.  I was blessed That I had enough momentum in my life That God called me aside. I didn't have to work I had Momentum and money, but when a man has responsibilities and jobs in a world. That's not compassionate to these cycles Toughen up Just get out there and keep going Just stuff it down and pretend like nothing's happening. Oh You're having a midlife crisis boo-hoo No compassion for men and the type of compassion that men need isn't the mommy's compassion of Bleeding heart the type of compassion men need are older men who say ah You're going through an initiation It'll be okay. Follow me wise elders But he always removes them or takes them away into sacred space It could be out under wilderness. It could be a monastery But it's away from the world of profane It's sacred and something too. That's critical the fourth, but by no means the least is Not just a sense of community. We understand community is important. We need people around us to affirm What we're doing you go through this process and the community doesn't know what you're doing They think that you're crazy. What did you get involved with some cult or something? They don't understand so you're not going to find it out there But what happens when there are those that have the shared experience may be fathers that have experienced it before too Brothers that are there that are doing it with you And we're all in this Hot spot together Christ says where there are two or more gathered. I'll be there Communitas is like the Holy Spirit. It shows up when men are committed to one thing once again, I think about football and To a day summer camps Something happens that builds a bond with those men who are under the heat of the process of football We build bonds. We know each other better We'll die for one another in some way shape or form But that's a vote it's drawn out or it arrives like the Holy Spirit That's called Communitas These are the four things that are required if we're ever going to reestablish This practice, which I propose is critical We need this we don't go any further without it We have shades of it both good and bad, but they're just fragments. I Propose we need the whole thing the recognition of it and the elders to step in with a process that we all agree to and Communitas in a sacred space I Dream and so Like most men that have experiences that cause them to grow they begin to see its need in others And they want to give it to them to you we spoke about that yesterday You had this awakening and you crave to give it to other men It's natural. It's our Compassion as men because we want to see boys do well Young men do well when I say boy. I don't mean younger some of My initiates have been older It's just something we all need and will continue to need So I attempted with grounding camp This was my brainchild an attempt at disseminating this information but creating a safe space with process and Me is the elder. I didn't see anyone else Carrying that banner. I figure I needed to take it upon myself, but it was a process Because when I first started grounding camp, I had girls there Because I know pretty girls will bring boys but women cool down a men's heated space with distraction and dissipation of energy Started seeing it there. I'm a blue-pilled man, too Why not all equal bring the girls in to dumb move But it was fine This was our first event where I kicked all women out and then it started to take on heat So in a way, I'm promoting. I guess you might say But I'm bringing background in camp because of its need And I invite anybody listening here who recognizes this need and maybe a man called to elders ship To do it in your community too and who you're called to serve as well But I think we need a bit more Anyway, I'll get to that Second part of my attempt here is something new that I've created called King initiation Maybe we can do it online and create a Sacred space on an app that I created Now I know that this is pale in comparison To what our ancestors knew we needed but it's a start. It's where I'm trying to take it I'm trying to get this going here and so far the results have been amazing for 21 days, there's austerity and you're held accountable by your peers in forums and we daily gatherings There's lots of fasting semen retention dopamine detoxing Getting away from the world of the mother that anchor those addictions and vice that hold us We can effeminate that never Let go Or we let go of so that we can rise That's what this has been about and so far It's been amazing Sometimes the initiation in its first part Springboards the second just by breaking away from a feminacy through austerity The soul sometimes automatically Rises But there's a process for rising to Because austerity and challenge is one thing and I Not saying it's easy, but it's simple to instill you can all go home and start doing it right now I begin with fasting There's no breaking from the world of the mother with a fill fucking belly Full of food You got to be hungry physically You must fast You can go home and do that too, but the real question then becomes And it's one that I wrestle with But I feel conviction about is what are we ordered to? We've got all forms of austerity and punishment and ways to rid ourselves of a feminacy But we don't have a collective ideal We still live in the egalitarian idea that we should all each have our own truth Just imagine the boy that I showed earlier with the Spartan Goes through the challenge and austerity and the pain and the breakdown to rise anew But then the fathers say now, what do you want to do? Don't work that way Men being sons of God are creatures of order There's no rebellion and going our own way. That's a rogue warrior. He's no use to me in our society and the goal for which We're aiming a tommy with the world of the father in many ways sounds very obvious I mentioned father and pattern pattern meaning archetype Spirit God father. It's always a tommy with the father seems Fairly self-explanatory But what does that look like? What's that new order? I propose that as Western men We are living in the fragments of a destroyed divine order in our society called Christendom all of the beauty and architecture and science the inspiration to build ships and cross the world the foundation that brings us charities and help of the poor in the Widow the heights of philosophical thinking theological thinking Prayer and liturgy beautiful patriarchal Liturgy it's artwork Anybody listen to Arthur's talk yesterday about art and paint Warship is a form of art too a specific kind of warship Ritual of sorts that is ordered and measured and has written as symbol and meaning which all bring us cohesiveness and beauty mission and vision I proposed I Propose or I Assert That we can call that God's kingdom on earth and as Christ reminds us Our father in heaven Hollow be his name my kingdom come I will be done on earth on Earth as it is in heaven that must mean that the Father of order the father of structure the patriarch above has a plan an Administrative plan a hierarchical plan an ordered plan for what that would look like down here I'm not the kind of guy that even likes to weigh that sounds Because it means institutionalized Re-legion Institutionalized Reuniting that's what it means to re-league religion and men create religion organized institutionalized Returning to the father and that which built The greatest civilization that we know of that all of Arthur's best art You notice he showed ugly art and he showed beautiful art yesterday All of the most beautiful art I challenged him yesterday when we had a conversation about what I'm proposing And I said every single one of those Artists were Catholic We are a Catholic people that have been subverted It's very easy to point at the serpent and we look at all the revolutions started by the J's and the Fm's You can try to figure out what I'm talking about there But it's seeped into our midst and So Christians are broken from within Being objective as I possibly can and I'm only a revert to the faith I fell away for over 30 years you can't Look at the history After the church began to break 500 years ago There's no such thing as beautiful Protestant art It's a revolution no different then BLM and Pussy hat pink wearing feminists in the street It's a revolt against patriarchy It's a revolt against order and this idea that I should make mine All I need is the Bible And I'll make up my own No need for magisterium no need for authority no need for order and structure or tradition We'll just figure it out on our own I don't think I have the picture up still but I mock in a way by showing it was like church com with a storefront and a motorcycle in a dilapidated car out front is That the kind of Christendom that God had in mind when he chose the most powerful empire Rome To spread his kingdom on earth Rome is masculine Rome is ordered and when Rome began to crumble God said let's catch it With the holy Roman Empire His kingdom is not so small that we need to hide in home churches or Garage turn into church or mere Little circles of men making up their own that's chaos that's disorder. He chose empire To spread his light west what are we ordered to are we ordered to beauty are We ordered to beautiful. What's true. What's right or we ordered to our own designs Initiation always requires submission You don't come into the sacred space until you Lose your face no room for individualism out here Even the American Revolution is spawn of a rebellion against Christendom specifically the Catholic Church. That's why in America There's more Protestants than Catholics but worldwide if you say Christian they say Catholic The American Revolution was a means to fulfill the desire for removal from What could be because power corrupts So I'm not saying it the church wasn't a Corrupted Kingdom, but a kingdom blessed by God nonetheless So now we have chaos and America is a mess. This is not a Catholic nation It wasn't built on Christendom. It was built on Freemasonic ideas Enlightenment ideals that say your truth your truth your truth your truth imagine initiating a generation of men and ordering them to Pop culture promiscuity sin alcohol Idol worship through Hollywood Self-worship through The willfulness and pride that we're taking we have parades about now too. It's what we got but imagine a Society that recognizes and facilitates Initiation breaking boys down so they could rise up and be men and ordering them to Majesty kingdom beauty Rome the most powerful kingdom on earth Still exists. There's a reason why God knows what inspires this kind of art and architecture and Will fruit that a man can give a woman gives fruit through her womb But a man who's ordered towards God. That's an artist Our life is all art when we're ordered Structure what beauty in this structure what beauty within these boundaries That are only available in a society that's ordered to God. I don't care how much you try to make Pagan art seem beautiful. It pales in comparison to this You're not gonna show me any African craftsman and the shit that he makes compared to this no native American or bush people or Even what we have now today Garbage art on display like there's something virtuous about trash Arthur makes a good point when he points out These woke women artists when they make stuff. He says I could master that in a day, but can you do this? Notre Dame Our lady Is a very Catholic Appreciation Santa Maria Columbus was a Catholic man Named his top ship after Mary Mary inspires birth through men as the divine mother with the Revolution Martin Luther had a He had a devotion to Mary, but he opened the gate for the whitewashing of our faith No beauty is created in a faith without her No beautiful women can exist if they don't have her Divine Image her example because we see what we've got today This is not about Mary my last talk was but this is about the beauty and the and the majesty and the might of an ordering of men towards something that's Eternal divine Physically beautiful and ordered and it's built on the story of This man that Christians believe to be the Christ and so no long No, it doesn't just live through our hands in the work of our sweat and what we create on the outside It's an inner revolution as he told us His initiation through death and resurrection is for us all But just like our savior We carry a burden of the cross Which says? No more.  Any questions fantastic speech as a fellow Catholic Something I've noticed in my time is that it appears that the modernism that current Corruption of our day and age is starting to pull elements of the Catholic Church away towards that tradition I've ordered that which is you read it or the church for two thousand years now What would you get it to the men the fathers and aspiring fathers in this room? About just keeping that corruption away not only within their own lives as they seek as they seek their faith Very good question, and there's nowhere to hide There's nowhere to run sacred space doesn't exist for us We've got to create it and the church itself has been infiltrated I'm no fool as to sit here and think that the institution is flawless as it is. It's fallen One thing we know for sure is that the enemies of the church i.e. Western civilization i.e. Western man It's well known Well first of all that their enemies of this order and have infiltrated at various times throughout our history most notably the 1960s If you read the school of darkness by Bella Dodge, he explains that over 1500 homosexual Seminaries were implanted into the church why? to create scandal and so there's open bigotry for multiple reasons Against the church But mainly because the enemy has sought to destroy and so if I have a calling towards this institution Towards this order towards the beauty of God's kingdom on earth, and I have the Mental seed of Degeneracy in my mind because of the smears and the attacks and the lies and the false history that we've been taught about our kingdom and I feel like I have nowhere to run What are you? What do I tell the fathers as? opposed to revolting and stepping outside Like happened in the Protestant revolution and it's happening all over the place now in every regard I pose this I Love America I See its values counter to the kingdom, but I know its potential. I Know America has been usurped. I don't believe Joe Biden's our president But I don't deny My nationality. I don't say I'm not American only left this and faggots and women do that still American Even if it means I can only do it in my own home I bring it to that level, but it doesn't have to be so dire my first piece of advice is in your home Are you praying with your family? Are you living in a state of grace? Are you? orderly and Structured in your living and Do you honor beauty in your house? So it happens at home, but there's a movement and I think you made mention a Traditionalist movement that's stirring inside the church Paul says that where darkness abounds grace abounds even greater and even know the church has been corrupted in the 1960s destroyed its liturgy and Turned it into much of the gay stuff we see today For 2,000 years There's been order and structure in our form of worship and now we refer to it as the Latin mass Traditional Catholicism It's gaining traction and I would invite you to seek it out anything else. Thank you


What is going on ladies and gentlemen welcome back to bitcoin daily in today's video we're talking about how to buy bitcoin with paypal we're gonna go over the entire process and then we're gonna talk about the pros and cons of it and you know and how to move forward with that all right so let's jump right in guys but before we do that please make sure to subscribe to the channel hit that notification bell and also like this video all right guys so let's jump right in so we've been we've had this question asked a lot and this is something rather new that just you know came out very recently right so now you can buy bitcoin with um here we go with paypal so this just got introduced in november up so last month you see here in november 2020 paypal announced that all account holders in the us would be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies including bitcoin through its platform the news followed its announcement in october 2020 that it would introduce options for cryptocurrency buying and selling through a partnership with paxels crypto brokerage users in the united states would would soon be able to use cryptocurrencies to buy products from its 26 million merchants worldwide payments will be converted into fiat at the point of sale so that's very important to keep in mind as well uh payments will be converted into fiat um in the first half of 2021 the features will roll out to select international markets guys so here's the tweet uh on in october 21st 2020 when they announced it and ever since this was a huge huge announcement which you know catapulted basically um bitcoin to just continue exploding on the year right so um let me make sure we're on the right slide so uh we're gonna talk a little bit more about it but let's let's jump right into how to actually buy bitcoin using paypal's new service right and um so you can see here the the first step is pretty simple you just need to obviously have a paypal account so you need to have a paypal account set up with you know your bank account or a credit card uh email address all that all that fun stuff right then you just go to buy bitcoin and more so if you just sign into your paypal you will see right here um there'll be something that says buy bitcoin and more you just go ahead and click there and that takes you onto this page right so um then you click the cryptocurrency that you'd like to purchase so for this example you know click bitcoin um then you will need to confirm some information and agree to paypal's cryptocurrencies terms and conditions so once you click bitcoin it takes you over to this page right here that shows you bitcoin's price and you know you can choose you know the daily price weekly monthly six months etc um then you hit buy uh it tells you a little bit about you know the asset that you're looking to buy and then once you hit you know buy then it's gonna tell you let's confirm some info before you buy so basically you have to uh just agree to the terms and condition and then you can continue um so once that's done then you hit buy bitcoin you enter the amount that you want so you enter in the amount in this case $10 um a helpful note explains that the price of bitcoin varies depending on when you pull the trigger uh exchange rate includes a spread and refreshes frequently until you buy or sell then you select next to move on to the next screen right here the bank account or credit card uh that your paypal account is associated with appears and then you can add other cards or bank accounts at this point as well after selecting next uh you review your purchase the transaction fees on paper are fairly reasonable for consumers facing uh exchange exchanges the fees range from 50 cents for purchases under $25 to 1.5 percent of the transaction for purchases over $1,000 um so you select buy now uh you can see all your fees and the whole breakdown of this transaction um and you hit buy now when you're ready um after the purchase is complete the account will be updated to reflect the amount of crypto purchased and the current value as you guys can see right here so one thing to to note um there's currently no fees no transaction fees uh through 2020 until 2021 so for the remainder of this year which is you know 30 days or so um there's gonna be no fees when you're buying and selling crypto for this moment so uh this is a good way if you guys are looking to buy or sell crypto right now with no fees you basically have a month a little bit under a month to complete this without having to uh pay any fees um and now let's jump over to the next one um once you return back to the home page you'll see that the bitcoin you purchased under the crypto uh with the option to buy and sell all right so it's pretty straightforward pretty simple nothing too crazy all right so things to know here when you're using bitcoin um it's worth noting that PayPal restricts users to holding crypto on its platform so that means that it can't yet be transferred out of PayPal's digital wallet other than to make purchases at which point it's converted into fiat at the point of sale so per PayPal's terms and condition the crypto in your account cannot be transferred to other accounts on or off PayPal so that's very important to know uh any any bitcoin that you buy on PayPal will remain in PayPal you cannot transfer your bitcoin out of PayPal into a different wallet okay um while that holds true at launch it's unclear whether that feature will be added you know to at a later date or what the impact will be on other services that enable crypto buying and selling through PayPal if you want to use PayPal to buy bitcoin from other sources such as exchanges in order to retain full ownership of your bitcoin your options are limited relatively few sites support it as a payment method um the main reason uh is that PayPal like other credit card companies lets buyers request a chargeback in the event of a fraudulent transaction that opens up the possibility of a buyer falsely disputing a transaction getting their money back and still receiving the bitcoin that they bought credit companies like PayPal typically side with the buyer and resolving a dispute and because bitcoin is pseudonymous uh PayPal has no way to verify that the dispute is fraudulent all right so those are things to to know when using PayPal that's basically um you know you can only any bitcoin that you buy on PayPal you can only hold it in PayPal you cannot transfer it out to different wallets and stuff like that so and so you just have to you know know that anything you buy on PayPal is going to remain on PayPal um so let's go over some pros and cons of using PayPal so pros um it's easy to use you know you buy cryptocurrencies through PayPal through PayPal the website or the PayPal app in a few clips it's very easy um you can track your portfolio see your cryptocurrencies portfolio worth at a glance uh it's a flexible payment option you can pay with your debit card from your bank account or using existing PayPal account balance and it has instant transactions buying and selling crypto through PayPal is instantaneous and the last pro that I didn't put on here is that it currently has no fees for the month of of December so that's another pro that you can add to this list uh now the cons of using PayPal uh are the fees so once the fees do get introduced into PayPal uh in January of next year you'll be charged a fee based on the total amount of your purchase and we'll go over the fees in a second um you don't have control of your private keys so PayPal doesn't give you access to your cryptocurrency keys so you won't be able to store your purchase in an external wallet so remember everything anything that you buy on PayPal any bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies that you buy on PayPal will remain on PayPal um limited options PayPal currently only supports bitcoin ethereum bitcoin cash and litecoin um and then exchange markups uh currency conversion rates will apply to your purchases so you'll be buying and selling cryptocurrencies at a slight price disadvantage and that's pretty much the bulk of it that we wanted to cover here and then we're just gonna show you what it actually looks like so when you go to uh to PayPal and you click on the crypto this is basically what what pops up and then it tells you you know it gives you all the different information on it uh you know it tells you how to buy it um and all of that you know if you want to get started get up to speed on crypto uh understanding volatility and then right here this is where it shows you no transaction fees until 2021 when you buy or sell cryptocurrency we will disclose an exchange rate and any fees that will be charged for that transaction so um so as you can see there's no fees until 2021 okay um but in 2021 once the fees do begin here is a breakdown of the fees for buying and selling cryptocurrencies so um um you can see here that the purchase amount if you buy it within you know within $1 to $24.99 so under $25 you'll pay a fee of 50 cents for the transaction if you buy between $25 to $100 you'll pay a 2.30% fee if you buy a hundred to $200 you'll pay a 2% fee if you buy 200 to a thousand you'll be paying 1.8% fee and if you buy over a thousand dollars you will be paying a one and a half percent fee so that is the fee breakdown that you must know because you will be paying fees on any transactions once the fees take over um and they get introduced into the paypal transactions so um here is the the what it looks like when you go to the website it takes you here and then you see it says buy sell and secure securely hold cryptocurrencies with paypal here are the options that you have to buy so you can buy bitcoin ethereum bitcoin cash and litecoin and then on the right you have different articles about you know about bitcoin ethereum etc etc you can hit see more and there's a glossary there's a getting started with crypto understanding volatility and risk uh faq what is crypto blockchain you know all that fun stuff that you can click on and watch on your own time um and then here once you click you know either of these it'll take you to this page where you can see the prices you know what's happened within the last 24 hours you can go to the last week uh and so on and this is also where you buy you know you can enter the amount and it gives you a breakdown on what it is and then you can go between bitcoin ethereum bitcoin cash and litecoin right so that's pretty much it guys i think we pretty much covered everything that we wanted to cover here um look at that paypal even knew that we're done look at that all done so uh that's pretty much it guys i think we covered everything we wanted to cover we touched on all the stuff we pretty much broke down exactly how to buy uh you know crypto on paypal we've had this question a lot and then we went over the things that you must know when using paypal to buy crypto and the pros and cons of using paypal to buy and sell crypto right so um if you guys have any other questions just drop them in
