What is up, beautiful people? I am doing on impromptu live here with Site2Go. My name is Yuri Choi. For those of you guys who know me, I am a performance coach for high achievers and entrepreneurs. And I often come here to do lives, doing different kinds of trainings and live coaching, Q&A sessions. Today I'm here with another slightly different mission. And that is to rise together for India. Today I'm here to ask you guys to help as global citizens, as global community to all come together to help our brothers and sisters in India today.  There's over 20 million COVID cases in India. Lots of love you guys. There's so many people passing away from COVID right now that the ICU units are not only overwhelmed, but even different. Whoa, hey you guys. I'm just logging in and seeing all these beautiful, beautiful chats here. And so there's an overwhelm in India right now. And Psych2Go is a global community of over 5.5 million subscribers from all over the world. And we are here to really help each other. We're gonna go through different things in our life. We're probably gonna experience different hardships as different countries, different regions. And Psych2Go and I, the CEO of Psych2Go and I, we came together and a few of other powerful leaders in a mastermind that I'm in, we decided yesterday to donate our time for our mastermind for a meeting that we typically have to create a fundraiser to help India. I'm sending that link here. Let me actually see. I'm sending that link here you guys. That is the link that you can click on. Anything is appreciated. Our goal, we actually just started this. This is how powerful it is when people come together with the intention of love, intention of community and intention to help one another. And this is what we're really about you guys. In the last 24 hours, we have raised $3,800, which isn't like the biggest amount of money, but we just decided like on a whim, like let's create a fundraiser, let's see what we can do. And with almost minimal effort, we were able to raise $3,800 from almost 76 people. So today I'm here actively igniting that part of you that is a global citizen. If you guys have even a dollar, $5, $10 to help, our goal is to reach 10,000 by the end of today with your help, we believe that we can. If you guys just all pitch in a dollar to help this crisis in India, we can raise easily $10,000, even $5, even $10, we can get there faster. This is through an organization called Give India. There's 0% processing fees, meaning that most of the funds will go directly to India. So yes, and of course, and of course, and you know, for whatever reason, if you guys aren't able to donate, that's okay. The fact that you guys are paying attention to what's going on in the world and here, maybe we can do a quick prayer or I don't wanna call it a prayer, let's call it a meditation for India in a little bit. And though, meanwhile, meanwhile, if you guys do have a second to donate, it'll be awesome. And we can see this live too, let's see how we're doing on the fundraiser here. So if you guys have a second to help, please do. We're here to rise together for India, and we are here to raise $10,000. We're currently at $3,800, and we were able to do this in the last 24 hours, you guys. So getting to $10,000 gets to be something that is totally doable. Hey, you guys, a lot of you guys are logging in. And think about it this way too. And I wanna intentionalize this, this isn't a place. We're not, we're here together to really make a change in a positive way. I mean, psych to go, I'm sure you guys have had, I've never done this before, kind of telephone a little bit. Yeah, so you guys, if you do wanna donate, I'm sending you the link in the chat right now. I should have put this in the comment, which I will. So if you guys are watching this replay, you look in the comments below, you guys should be able to see it. So let's see here. If you guys have any questions about how to donate, let me know. Meanwhile, I'm here to donate my time, donate my services to you guys so that I can help you guys meanwhile. And this is my way of showing up. So if you guys feel pulled to help India for what I get to do here for the next 30 minutes, feel free to donate. This would mean a lot to India, I'm sure, to myself, to psych to go. We're really here to create a powerful community. And here's the thing, you guys, we did this yesterday. We raised almost $3,800 and it was amazing. And though, wow, I was so excited for India and what we get to do. You know, we felt really good myself and the people who helped. Those people who donated. There's something that's really special about giving. And I actually wanna share with you guys this idea of giving and receiving. And this is actually what inspired this project, by the way, which is there's a universal law, you guys. You know why I show up here with the intention to give, even though I don't have to? You know why I show up and share this time with you guys even though I'm not getting paid for this time? I genuinely love that I get to be here with you guys and create these moments with you guys and serve and help you all heal. You know why? It's because I understand something on a fundamental level and I'm not doing it for that. I'm not doing it to get more. But I also know that the universe, the universe compensates those who give. It's just a universal law. There's nothing more powerful than giving. It's almost like doing a deposit to the universe. Being like, I'm ready for blessings. I'm ready for abundance to come through. And that's why I freely give my time, freely give my money. Because in the end, thank you, thank you for your donation. And actually, please use this link directly. And if you're a minor, you can't help directly but you feel like your parents would, please share this link. Please share this link on your social media, share it on your Instagram, share it on your Facebook. We can help in different ways, even if it's not deracked. Let's get the word out there. We're trying to raise up to $10,000 for India through Give India. So yeah, if you guys feel called to do it. Oh wow, shortage of oxygen happening. And it's really good to hear directly from you guys in India as well. So thank you. You have a Facebook, you have a credit card. Okay, perfect. Please use this link here. You guys should be able to use this link that I'm sending in the chat. It's a fundraiser link goes directly to the cause. There's zero processing fees that are being taken out of this. And it would mean a lot if you guys, hi, hi there. Hi, I'm invisible and get to see you. Oh, posting it now, please, please. And then feel free to tag Psych2Go. Feel free to tag me if you want an Instagram. Let's get the word out there. Let's, let me, let me just, whoop. And maybe I'll do something cool. If we're able to, if we're able to get to 10,000 by today, maybe I'll do a special live for you guys and we get to have some fun. So please do help. Tag us, tag us in your stories. Tag us in your Instagram, Facebook, whatever you gotta do. Let's make this happen. You guys, this is really cool. This is how I got through the pandemic last year. When I was in California and was stuck at home, we had, you know, stay at home orders. We were quarantining and I could have gone into the space of just not feeling good, feeling depressed, feeling sad, right? A lot of people were. And there's nothing wrong with that. However, I chose a different route, which was that I decided to give my time. We ended up raising like $150,000. Oh my gosh. Thank you. Thank you. What's this? Skygrass, but we'll make sure that it goes directly to the fundraiser. And though, for those of you guys who wanna donate directly to this link, you can actually get the receipt right away. So that might be really helpful. Okay, so anyways, last year when I was quarantining, instead of just staying, you know, sad, I decided to give my time. We raised $150,000. We created a freaking charity and we were able to help the frontline heroes, like the nurses and the doctors and actually the fallen angels there. So people who were affected and who actually passed away from COVID, serving and their families, we were able to create a charity around that. So meaning you guys, there's so, thank you. Oh my gosh, send, let's send these people some love. Do the at sign, Shelfster, Versi, and Zoe, hi Zoe, good to see you. I'm Skygrass for let's do an at sign. And even if you guys are not donating, let's send them some love. Let's say thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Wow, that is so sweet. That is so amazing, you guys, that's incredible. And do feel free to donate directly to that link I'm sending in the chat as well. If you guys do donate directly to Psych2Go, we'll make sure that it gets funded into the actual thing as well, actual fundraiser as well. But do feel free to use this link here that you see. So anyways, trying to tell a story. So last year, instead of being that I was able to really give my time to raise funds for the frontline heroes, and it was a really meaningful time.  Sure, there were some difficulties, but I remember those times as a really, really powerful time where I got to step up as a leader, where I got to step up helping people, where I got to do something good for the community and the world. So it feels good. And you guys can do the same just by showing your support here. You guys can do the same and feel good about this time that's a little bit difficult sometimes, but we get to do something nice. So hey, you guys, if you're not able to donate directly to this fundraiser, one thing that we ask of you, let's get the word out there to help India. Please, please, please post this link that I'm sending in the chat. You'll see where it's a site to go. This is the fundraiser chat. Go ahead and copy and paste that, post it on your Facebook, post it on your Instagram. Let's blow this up, post it on Twitter, post it on your Instagram stories, wherever you feel called to share this. Let's be loud and proud about it. Oh my God, Freddie, thank you so much for your support. We really appreciate it. We'll make sure that this gets directly to the fund. You know, actually site to go has already donated by the way. So you guys should know that, which we're really grateful for. And oh, I love that you guys are saying thank you to all these people that are donating. Oh, you guys are incredible. I love this, do you guys feel the love? I mean, this is genuinely something that I'm so thankful for. I believe someone just also donated directly to the fundraiser. So thank you for whoever did that. And if that is you, let me know in a post below and I will give you a shout out. Like this is amazing. I really appreciate you guys. And here's the thing, this is all about us coming together as a community, coming together as a, thank you Freddie. Oh my gosh, coming together as a community. Hey you guys, oh my gosh, thank you for coming. Thank you for joining. This fundraiser is for India, you guys. Rise together for India. We are addressing the COVID crisis in India. There's 20 million cases in India right now. They are really, really in need of different kind of masks and really support even food. I mean, there's a lot going on in India that we can help with right now. And we just wanted to be a part of this global community and help another neighboring country in the best way that we can. I'm currently in Seoul, Korea. So this is the best I can do. This is the best I can do. And so I really appreciate all you guys who have already donated. I know some of you guys have already donated. Every dollar counts you guys. And here's the thing, here's the thing. We have what, 5.5 million subscribers on Psych2Go. If everybody, even if like 10% of those people donated like a dollar, $5, $10, $100. This could be some powerful movement. We can literally save a country from going into a really difficult place. Like, wow, that would be amazing. Don't you think? Wouldn't that be amazing to know that we did that? And we can do this. We can do this together. Ah, thank you, May. Thank you, appreciate you so, so much. Let's send May, anyone who donated a ton of love, do a little ad sign, you know, and show them some love, you guys. Thank you, Shelfster. Oh my gosh. Let's send Shelfster love. I think they just donated it for the second time. Thank you guys so much. Also feel free to utilize the link that is in the chat and we'll let you know. And, you know, we can also do a shout out for you here. I think a few people are donating directly to that fundraiser that's in there. So thank you so much. You guys, and here's the thing. This could have been any of us. This could have been any of us. We're doing a fundraiser for India right now. And you know why I decided to do this? Is, well, several reasons. One, I was just in the States. I was just in the States last year when this whole thing was going down, the whole pandemic, and this could have been easily us. In fact, we were very close to the situation ourselves for a while. And we're so lucky now that a lot of people have gotten vaccinated, a lot of people are safe, a lot of people are healing. However, there's also a lot of people who've lost, you know, their loved ones or got into a really difficult situation because of COVID. This wasn't a long ago. This wasn't a long time ago that we all felt the impact of this as well. Thank you, Maya. I really appreciate you, appreciate you. Feel free to use the link that's in the chat as well from site to go. You guys will see this fundraiser. If you click on that, you can also directly donate. And for anyone watching this, let's, yes, let's pour them love, May, all these people who are donating directly. Thank you so much. Super appreciate it. Yes. And if you guys do a YouTube donation, I will make sure that we cut that check and put it in the, you know, put it in the fundraiser. So no worries. However, you're right. It would be, it would be just as powerful if you do the link in the chat so that we can go, we can make sure we can count it directly there. That would be most helpful as well. So, okay, you guys. Oh my God, a few of you guys already donated. I really, really appreciate it. So I don't know how to share my screen. I wonder, okay, maybe I gotta figure out how to share my screen in the future. But we are at 286,000 rupees. So let's see what that is in dollars. So that's, that's the 286,000 Indian rupees. That is $3,800. So in the last 24 hours, the fundraiser that some of the leaders in my mastermind and all of you guys now have all, you know, chipped into and donated. We are at $3,800, which is 286,000 rupees in Indian rupees. So this is going directly to India, you guys. We're really just doing this for the community. Norway loves India, I love that. I love that kitty. Yeah, if you guys are here, I think there's actually some people from India. And let's pour them love. Let's say, hey, we got you, we love you. We support you, India. We're thinking of you sending your prayers. Let's pour them love. Let's pour them love. Because sometimes, of course, these kinds of donations are really powerful because it's gonna help directly helping them with the medical devices as well as PPE masks and different things that they need so that they can get through this crisis. But also let's send them love. Like that really, that I think in prayer, that's really helpful too. So you guys, meanwhile, if you guys have a moment, do use this link here so that you can donate directly to the fundraiser. Please directly do that. And then let's do this. Since you guys are being so amazing in donating and helping this cause, I might do another extra live like next month or something to give you guys an extra live coaching session. Let's see, if we can reach, if we can reach, we're at almost, okay, by the end of this live, we're at 286,000 rupees. Let's get to 350,000 rupees and then I'll do something special for you guys. I haven't figured out what yet. So that's just, 120,000 rupees. So yeah, let's see if we can get to that. Let's see, let's go, let's go. You guys, let's have fun with it. Share this link with all of your friends, your families, you guys, you never know how this is gonna help another human being. There might be somebody who can actually be helped from this. They need oxygen tanks. Yes, love from the Philippines, I love you guys. All right, you guys. So please do share this. Raj, okay, I said your name there, I see you. This is live, okay, so you guys, and why am I doing this? And I talked about this in the beginning of the video, but one thing that I wanted to share with you is that there's this universal law of giving and receiving. We actually, I just did a live on manifesting. So if you guys wanna check that out, I'll put that in the link as well. Now, the thing about manifesting and receiving these blessings from the universe, I can tell you, one of the crucial components of that is really completing the cycle of the universe, which is if you wanna receive a bunch of luck and blessings and abundance and good connections and love and romance or whatever you're trying to manifest right now, know that there gets to be a full cycle, a full cycle of, thank you Skygrass for, oh my God, you're amazing. Did you donate like three times already? Let's pour him some love or her some love. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. When we can create this full cycle of giving by receiving by receiving by giving and vice versa, it creates a really powerful full complete cycle. So you know what, for those of you who donated either time, money, your love, your blessings, your prayers for India today right now, get excited cause cool things are coming your way. And this is just the law of the universe. You can call it karma, you can call it whatever you want. But every time I show up for the world with just pure intention of service and love, something amazing happens. Like something that I wasn't even thinking about. And this is also possible for all of you guys. Let that magic just kind of simmer and let the universe surprise you a little bit. Let's have fun with this. Okay you guys, so we have a few minutes, I'm hopping off here in about 10 to 15 minutes. Yes, so bubbles, it's a really hard time for India. I love it. So for those of you guys who didn't show, it wasn't there for the live before that we started this whole, I did this bubble meditation which turned into this whole bubble movement. So maybe we can do another powerful move meditation at the end of this. So that's also something that we can do. Thank you so much for your donation. Oh my gosh, I really appreciate it. So again, if you guys wanna donate directly to the link here that I'm sending in the chat that's also available. Or if you wanna donate to this chat right now through YouTube, we'll make sure we take that money and put it into the fundraiser so that is no problem. Oh, I wanna do a shout out to one of the animators on psych2go by the way. So this is how amazing psych2go is by the way you guys. So first of all, the CEO already donated to this cause. He was like one of the first ones and he was like, you know what, Yuri? Like let's make this happen on our channel. Let's do a live. Let's create this movement even more so that we can support those brothers and sisters in India. And also this was really cool. So one of the animators, I'm gonna mention their name here. It's Eveleve, I hope I'm saying that right. She, this really melts my heart. And you know what, I'll talk about this in just a bit but she said, hello Cindy, apologize for the trouble this isn't about the animation though but I can't seem to donate for India through the link for some reason. I wonder if you haven't, if you could do me a favor I haven't submitted my April animation payroll. So instead of getting the full amount can you donate half of it to India? She donated half of her payroll for April. One of the animators for Psych2Go, she donated half of, yes Psych2Go did donate and one of the animators donated as well. Of course, of course. Just so you know, Liddy Little, Psych2Go CEO did donate. He was actually one of the first ones to donate as well as one of the animators donated half of her payroll to this cause which brought me to tears because isn't that what we're about you guys? Hi black artist, good to see you. Good to see you guys. And by the way, I'm gonna go live on my channel later today as well really igniting this movement to help India. So if you guys wanna follow me, my name is Cherie Choi. I think a lot of you guys already know me but my name is Cherie Choi on YouTube. You guys wanna follow me there, that's also available. And let's make this go happen. 350,000 rupees by the end of this live. We can totally do this you guys. So feel free to follow me there. But meanwhile, you guys, this is the fundraising link. Please, please, please use that link so that we can help India get out of this crisis. So if you guys are just hopping on, my name is Cherie Choi.  We're creating a movement for mental health and living really just in infinite possibilities. And here today, we are coming together as a global community to help India. Thank you, Mozum. Let's share, let's say thank you to Mozum. Oh my gosh, thank you, thank you, thank you. And then a few other people who already donated. Ishika, thank you. Oh my gosh, she said save my beautiful country. Oh, that's really beautiful. Go India, fight on, say skyscraper, skyscraper. So many people have already donated through this. So I really appreciate it. We are here advocating to help India and get them out of the crisis that they're in with COVID. This could have been any of us. This is why this is why it's so important is that it could have been any of us in any country. There was no guarantee that we wouldn't have ended up in that situation. So as a global community, let's come together and help. Okay, you guys. Other than that, if you guys have any questions, by the way, while I'm here, what are some topics that we can cover on site to go as some of our new lives that we're doing or videos? And maybe I can do some live coaching right now for the next 10 minutes if you guys have any questions. If you guys have any questions, let me know. Thank you, Mozam. Yes, thank you for your support. All these people in India, they're really appreciating this. So, oh my gosh, you guys, I think like seven of you guys or more, no, well seven of you guys on the website and then people on this chat right now have already donated. So thank you so much, so much, so much, so much. How to be a healthy INFJ, okay? What country am I from? I'm actually in South Korea right now. Thank you, new fam. Thank you for your donation. We will make sure that this gets funded directly to the fundraising link. You guys wanna use the fundraising link here. By the way, anything that is collected from this live chat, anything from the fundraiser site to go or myself, no one's taking any money from this. This is going directly to the organization, to the fundraiser, to the cause. There's zero processing fee that they're taking from this platform as far as I understand. And the majority of this is going directly to the cause here. Okay, cool. So, how to be a healthy INFJ, okay? Let's talk about that. How many of you guys are introverts? I'm curious. INFJ, what is the personality type for INFJ? They are an advocate. Okay, so let's talk about this. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much, Tony. Tony Stark. Okay. So by the way, you guys, okay. So really quickly, people who are INFJ, so I promise that I will do a quick coaching here. So introverted, intuitive feeling and judging. So advocates are the rarest personality types of all still advocates leave their mark on the world. They have a deep sense of idealism and integrity, but they aren't ideal dreamers. They take concrete steps to realize, okay, standing up for what's right, connecting with others and themselves, the cost of success at times. Advocates may focus so intently on their ideals that they don't take care of themselves. So one thing I'm seeing is that INFJs get to do some self-care, some self-love. You know, if I'm understanding this correctly, oh my gosh, thank you so much. Whoever just donated Sam, I really appreciate your support. The adult, I'll make sure that is recognized as well as it goes directly to the fundraiser here. Really, really appreciate it. You guys, Sam just donated a hundred US dollars. That's incredible. Thank you so much, you guys. So as far as INFJ goes, yeah, let's send Sam some love. That's incredible. I am reading up a Google page. I just wanted to make sure I'm understanding INFJ. I don't have all of it memorized by my, that's not my personal specialty, but I can tell you based on what I'm reading. And this applies to honestly, anyone especially introverts, which is that we get to, I'm half introvert, half extrovert. So I understand this. Make yourself a priority, meaning, make yourself care priority. A lot of INFJs, a lot of introverts, we can have the tendency to not honor our boundaries. And let me know if this resonates. So getting clear about your yeses and getting clear about your noes. And for me, this, thank you so much, Eric. Eric just donated $20 to this cause. Thank you so much, you guys. Yeah, I'm an ambivert. So for me, this took me a long time to understand how to say powerful noes because I don't know about you guys, but I used to be a super power of people pleaser. And I actually think I used to be an INFJ. This is kind of weird. Today I'm an ENFP. So I am like 52% extrovert and a little less introverted, but I do still have both qualities. I actually think when I used to take the test, I used to be an INFJ. And a lot of people pleasing tendencies used to show up. Instead, I got really clear on what I need to feel good. I need a certain amount of hours to sleep. I need a certain amount of time alone. I need a certain amount of time to meditate. I need a certain time of minutes exercising. And I made those a priority over everything else. Saying yes to friends, saying yes to going out, saying yes to different dinner plans, saying yes to all these things, all these things that try to pull me in different directions. Instead of trying to say yes to all of them first and what other people need, I said yes to me first. Meaning I got to say no to things that didn't serve me and put me in my best condition, best plays, best flow. Thank you so much, Sandra. Let's pour Sandra some love. She just donated $19.99, $20 to India and the cause that we're here for. So really appreciate it. There's actually 11 or 12 of you guys who donated directly to the website as well. And I think there's been like 10 or 20 people donated on this as well, which will go directly to the fund here. So speaking of people pleasing and really honoring our boundaries, we get to get clear about what makes us feel good first. This is the first step. Ah, thank you so much, Honli. I really appreciate your support. This will go directly to India. Let's pour, hone, some love. Let's say thank you so much. Do you guys feel this? This is amazing. I sense this global community that is building right now. This is so amazing. This is amazing. So saying yes to what your desires are first. So as an INFJ or any kind of anyone who really gets to recreate their relationship with boundaries, make a list of 10 things that you desire. Like what do you want? You know, I did this workshop once. They were like, what do you want? I'm like, what do I want? What do you mean? I want whatever you want, right? And instead of doing that, can you powerfully declare what you want? What I want, I'm gonna powerfully declare right now is to help India and raising funds for India or trying to get to $10,000 US dollars by the end of today. Maybe that's possibility. Maybe we'll give it a couple more days but let's make it happen so that we can step up as global leaders and help India. That's what I want. I also want, who do I want? I want, I want coffee. That's every day. I want this world to live leading with love which stands for laughter, oneness, vulnerability and ease. I want all of you guys to be happy. I want people in India to come out of the stronger and we can all visit India one day. I would love for India to heal. I would love the world to heal so I can travel more. I want to go to India, do a yoga retreat, all of these kinds of things, right? So these are the things I want. So as an introvert, if you are unclear about how to draw boundaries, like get clear of your wants. Write down 10 things that you want and then write 10 things that you value. These are your core value. So for example, I value creativity. I value integrity. I value love. Thank you, Mozamb. Oh my God, did you just donate for the second time? Let's pour in some love. Thank you so much. So get clear on your top 10 values and then start saying no to everything else that doesn't align with those values, that doesn't align with your desires and your visions and your wants in the world. So it's a quick coaching. I hope that was helpful. Was that helpful you guys? And by the way, I do have to hop off in just a little bit. I'm gonna leave the link in the comment section so that you guys can continue this momentum of donating to this cause to save and help India from this COVID crisis. INFP, yeah, I'm an ENFP. So you're kind of like me, but like the opposite. So I can definitely talk to you about that. So anyway, you guys, sending you lots of love. Thank you so much for showing up here. I will be back. I just wanted to hop on here real quick to advocate for India and the fundraiser we're doing. Thank you, A. Really appreciate you. And oh my God, thank you. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate you guys.  So if you guys are looking to donate, make it happen. I'm gonna send the link right here. Really, really appreciate you guys. Thank you, love. Love from India. I'm seeing some of the people there. And we are here because we love you. Psych2go loves you. I love you. We all are here. Look at all the people who are stepping up to help you guys. So, all right. Love you guys. Here's a link. I will be back here to do more lives in the near future. Thank you guys so much. Have a beautiful day, y'alls. And thank you for all of you guys who stepped up to help. Really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. And amazing things happen to you guys. All of you guys who showed up here, showed support monetarily, emotionally, spiritually, whatever. So I really appreciate it. Bye, y'alls.


All right, welcome to this continued discussion, the series of discussion that we're doing, which is called Exchange for Media and then Baskar brings together this series which focuses on how non-Metros are driving the next phase of growth in India. And we talk about a whole lot of things, Metros versus non-Metros, we talk about, we visit 2020, we see how new trends have emerged over the last 10 months plus. So today we have a very special guest with us. We have Mr. Harkir Yat Singh, who is the managing director of Woodland. He's gonna join us and talk about the same aspect about how the entire premise of the drivers of growth has shifted gradually from Metros to Non-Metros. Welcome, sir, to this discussion. Thank you so much. I remember meeting you one and a half year before and today again, I mean, we're connecting virtually. A lot of change has happened in the last 11 months as we all know. So I want to just ask you my first question that we have seen festive season giving some hope to brands. How did it play out for Woodland and what was the uptake scene in Q3 compared to the early part of 2020? Definitely, everybody knows during the lockdown period and all the retail was shut. Everything was shut. Even the online business was shut. So it was not only in India pan, it was worldwide. So of course, during those months, the business was totally dead because we are into non-essential products. As a brand is mainly outdoor brand and lifestyle brand where we are doing shoes and garments and everything. So of course, the business all started was like in late September, when things started rolling out, stores started opening. So slowly and gradually we started opening stores because there was hardly any footfall in the market. So it was not before the season starts when you're saying the festive season with Diwali coming in, that we saw some movement in the stores. People, actually they were scared to come out and so we could see some people trickling in the stores. Of course, we were ready with our merchandise because we have a summer line and a winter line. So summer season was almost wash out because there was hardly any sales. So we had planned our winters of course in time and of course we normally calculate our numbers based on last year sales. This year we could not take that because we were very sure that we will not be able to do the numbers which we did last year which was an extremely good year last year. So the winters was very good for us and we being into functional clothing, jackets, boots and all which go very well for outdoors and especially for winters. So our winter line is normally very extensive. So this time we were very cautious about ordering new range and how much we have to order. But of course, luckily with the coming of the season and with the festive coming in and winter was pretty good. Especially in North India even now there's a good spell of winter. So the business was very brisk and yes, definitely it was better than what was expected because we actually had not expected this financial year to actually do much of business because there was a lot of uncertainty. People didn't know really whether this virus is going to come back or how soon the vaccination is going to come in. So there were a lot of questions and nobody was able to answer to that. So everybody was speculating. So we definitely did better business than what we expected. Right, right. And sort of Woodland being a brand that is truly pan India and it has metros, non metros all over the very well known across. Tell me, when you see this, when we talk about non metros in the last 10 months in your view, how have they contributed in the recovery phase? See, we've always been an urban brand. We normally sell a lot in the metros and definitely a lot of our people are the people who are traveling and trekkers to travel was almost closed. So as you know, all travel, whether it's air travel or whatever, till now it's not really there. So it also resonates with non metros. I mean, of course it's an urban based brand, but I'm sure there are a lot of people I have seen stores out in non metros which sell Woodland. We have stores in pan India and we have stores in practically all the cities, major cities, of course not. Absolutely. Rural belt, we are not there in tier three cities, but tier two, we are covered. Significant. Even tier three, we are covered with retailers who are multi brand retailers. Right. You might not have a store there which is an exclusive Woodland store, but we'll have some retailers selling some part of Woodland collection over there. So of course the sales have contributed from the non metros also. And smaller towns also. And of course more so because the pandemic was not really majorly hit in these smaller towns because of course, when you talk about Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, these cities are overpopulated and so people who are really very worried about going out. But in the smaller cities people did come out and of course because they're not too many of markets where they can go. So the growth was in fact faster recovery in those smaller towns than the metros. Right. See it's the consumer sentiment and behavior has also changed in the last 10 plus months. In your view, are these shifting behaviors becoming permanent part of the consumer journey? Do you see them or do you just see them as a response to this crisis and it will come back to where it was before? This is like for all your consumers who are in metros and non metros. Do you see this shift as permanent shift? See, we cannot deny that there's no shift. There is a shift and because the lifestyle has changed many times like the masks and the sanitizers and like all these hygiene products have come out and especially the products which we do like anti-microbe and all our technologies whether it's wherever we are talking about hygiene technical products, they have become more important now. People are going in for technical products and they are more concerned about the health first. But of course, if you see every brand has its own core. Woodland has its own, mainly our core is on adventure, outdoor, lifestyle. So of course our products are based on that. So people know us because of that. So when it comes to rugged boots and waterproof jacket so we are the only stores where people think of coming first. So that will remain the same but of course there will be some added lines because during this crisis period people were definitely spending lesser and they were going cheaper products and they were working from home. So they didn't really want to have dress shoes and formal shoes. So for a while, yes, the change was there and is there and I think it will continue to be there for some time but the main products which are being sold will also be sold because like during the festive period or the marriage season which is very big in India like formal shoes and formal shoes will definitely sell. So, but the numbers of course, like now since the parties are much smaller the marriages people are limited to go to just a few numbers. So people are not buying so much. So of course to come back to a normal it might take a year or something like that but of course we also have come out with new products like we have a big range of masks we have other technical products which we brought in and which are also selling. So they have added up to the line but our basic line remains there. Right. So as you rightly mentioned Woodland has resonance with travel and adventure largely but in the last few months we haven't seen that happen. So tell me if I have to ask you that if you look at the six months window last six months what kind of products have driven growth for Woodland? We've always been an outdoor brand. So of course, you know like our boots are definitely meant for going outdoors on the hills or you know where you're going, you know trekking or something like that but of course our shoes are also for the daily use. So, you know people who like this lifestyle they buy our shoes not only just for going outdoor but for the day-to-day life also. So our range still you know the main sellers are jackets which are selling very well during these winters because they are you know like down filled jackets that there are a lot of technologies in the jackets. They are organic products which are selling very well. Our shoes and boots are always you know in short supply. So of course our main lines are still going to be the same and they are still growing but of course the numbers are as I told you know we didn't expect too much numbers because the basic footfall in the stores or the customers buying is lesser right now. So when that comes to a normal so we expect you know our main lines to be selling the more. Of course we've come out with some leisure products and we've come out with products which are like athelisure because people go on into you know like more of fitness now. So you know we've gotten shoes which are fitness shoes and you know like which can be used for walking or jogging or sports. So that line has also added in our line but I won't be able to say that they will be the main drivers now. The main drivers will still be the classics and definitely these product lines will add on to that and probably in a later stage they will also grow. Right, tell me what were some of the changes that woodland undertook in the past year which would yield results hopefully this year? I mean were there any big changes that you made to adjust to the situation? See when this period was there of this crisis, the pandemic so you know like first of all the main thing was how to survive because when all your stores are closed all the businesses closed, factories are closed. So you first of all you look for you know how to start and you know what to start. You know so the best thing which came out was that we had a lot of these stores or factories which were probably you know like we were running them because you know they were there but we didn't really need them because we could have done without them also. So you know we curtailed a lot of such works which were not adding value to our whole organization. So most cuttings were there you know. So I think that gave us you know that trimmed the whole system and made it more efficient. So we are now much more efficient and now I think we are very clear about how to go about it. So I think that was a cross for all the companies which they all try to cut costs and all. So that was the biggest thing which we could do and then of course we also focused on our as I told you on our core lines we know you know which are our best sellers and you know even if I would have taken a risk during that time and planned more production I would have only gone in for the product which I'm dead sure that I won't be you know left over with inventories for that you know. So we focused on those particular products and lines which we could take a risk you know and of course we are glad we did that because things got better faster and all our stocks which we had made during those times and planned those times those are now selling and we are at least not short of stocks. Right. Rightly said I think this has been a period of rethink and re-strategizing. Tell me Mr. Singh how do you see the demand curve in the coming months? Especially if we talk about non-match rules. What we see is definitely you know things are getting better and we feel you know like the growth part is there and we are of course we are planning new stores also we are you know always in look out for newer stores and especially in the cities which we are not present. So of course the growth will not be at the speed of the we used to do earlier but of course very cautiously but of course there are a lot of stores which were in the pipeline and we had plans to open these areas and since India is a big country and especially the smaller towns are the drivers for the growth. So we are already very well covered in the markets in the metros. So we are looking forward where which new states especially we feel you know like in the North because as I told you we are more of a winter products are very strong. So we are going in for opening stores in some of these cities, towns in the North as well as the South which is a very strong market for us. That was my next question you answered it right. Great North and South, great. Tell me, so we are all in the recovery phase till the economy is trying to live back to normalcy. Are you bracing for some new challenges as a brand? You see first of all you know one of the biggest learning of this period was that we strengthened our online business you know because you know definitely when people were scared to come to the stores the only possibility to sell was through online. So with all our partners like Amazon Flipkart and Mintra and of course with our own website we did a lot, we made all our stores on the channel and the sales which are coming from the online business is much higher than earlier. And since we as I told you we've made all our stores on the channel means every stock in every store whether it is in the remotest area of maybe Kerala or in Assam you know those stocks are also available to customers throughout India. So all the stocks are listed and I think this we feel is going to be the future because we are spending a lot on our technology and IT to strengthen our online business much more. And of course you know the store growth especially in this we've got a lot of customer base from the smaller towns also you know because those people were having no access to the store. So definitely you know they had an opportunity to buy online. So I think that is a very big change which we did in this case. Right, my final question is about 2021 a lot of hope on this brand's placing a lot of positive sentiment because the vaccine is around. Tell me in terms of revenue how do you see FY21 ending compared to last year? Compared to last year we actually can't even compare you know like six months more than six months just went without any business. So you know like even if we are able to right now the stores are achieving almost about 60 to 70% of the sales which if we compare to last year. So you know like even if we achieve say about 60 to 70% of last year business it will be a very good target to keep. I think we're moving towards that and we'll be very happy if we can achieve that much. Right, thank you Mr. Singh for joining us and sharing your thoughts. It's been great talking to you and learning about the new markets that you're planning to go into and the way you've responded to this crisis. Thank you once again for joining me.


Welcome. Thank you everybody for coming. It is really, really a pleasure to finally be here. We've had a moot annually in different places around Australia and it's just really good to actually be a bit more involved with the organizing of this one. And I'm really looking forward to the things over the next few days. I wanted to just reiterate the hashtag. If there's anything you want to say, use that hashtag. We'll be using it for lots of things and there'll be a lot of things coming up on there. But the first thing I would really say is thanks to Monash for this beautiful venue and I'm really loving this room. There's always this choice of whether you have a big room where a lot of people look spaced out or do you have a small room where everyone's packed in and they both have their benefits but I really love this space. The organization of this conference has been quite long and at every moot I've ever been to I always say I really appreciate how much the organizers have done but you really honestly have no idea until you're actually involved in organizing an event to know what it is. So I just want to thank really these key organizers who've been putting together. They're the ones who got together the program committee who've been working on the program and with the help of many other people from around the place who've helped out here and there. They got together these sponsors so really thanks to the sponsors who've helped and they'll have booths in the booth area which I haven't personally seen yet so I'm looking forward to seeing it myself. They also got together these invited speakers and I'm looking really forward to hearing them. We've got Adam Spencer coming from Sydney I think. Probably the furthest travel to be Don Hinkleman who's come all the way from Japan and very much looking forward to what he has to say. We've got Barbara here too, we've got Scott and Dan and Joyce of course and so lots of interesting talks coming up but the main presentations we've ended up with 512 people which is two to the power of nine which might make Adam Spencer happy perhaps. There's a hundred presentations all up which is far too many because I know I'm still not going to be able to see them all but I think there's going to be something for everyone and we've really tried to arrange them in streams of interest for different sectors. Of you, of us, the 512 people, this is how our roles break down. We've got quite a lot of people who would put themselves down as administrators of Moodle followed by teachers, then instructional designers, quite a lot of developers, quite a few decision makers, some researchers which is good to see and finally of course students are really good to see some students here and maybe over time these will be slightly more even columns even but this is really the case of a Moodle conference and what makes it a little different is we have such a range of people, so many different types of us coming together and talking about the same things and sector-wise we made a concerted effort to try and broaden the sectors because there was a lot of people in non-university sectors who were saying Moodle moots were hard to get to or whatever and we've really had quite a good result. A lot of people here from secondary schools, from workplaces as well and from the TAFE sector, but still 38% from universities. I'm interested in the other. Who's in an other? Who put down an other for this? There are a few people. Anyone want to yell out what other is? What's other? Someone, come on, a webcasting platform, okay, cool, anyone else? Right, okay, teaching parents and friends are so great. I think the other cases are the most interesting. Hopefully we'll see some of them in presentations this week. But we're all here to discuss this thing, this Moodle thing. What is it? And why have we got such a range of people who it affects? Well, Moodle is sort of the thing, it's Moodle in the middle. It's the thing in between things like students and teachers, obviously. Someone's teaching or facilitating and someone's learning and Moodle's right there in the middle. It's also the thing in between the teachers and the techies. Got the IT people at an institution to say or in a location and the teachers and Moodle's this thing in the middle they have to negotiate on and work on. Moodle's also the thing between the devices that we have and the servers. And so Moodle does cop a lot of the blame if the internet's down. Moodle's down. But it could be, as IT people know, it could be 50 things in between. But it's negotiating between the servers and the devices and the servers and the technology of the internet is always changing and evolving and so are the devices. These will look very probably trite in 10 years' time. And Moodle's the thing between organizations and their communities. We use it at Moodle.org, for example, to have forums for the communities to interact there. But even a workplace would use Moodle and it would be the way it can interact with the outside world or the interior world of the company. Developers, of course. Moodle's kind of between them and basically everybody. So when we're developing software, I have to try and take all these things into account and it makes it quite a complex scenario of how Moodle should develop and where it should be. What Moodle should probably do is disappear. It shouldn't really be thinking about Moodle that you're using Moodle. It should be so easy to use and so intuitive and so well-tuned to the environment that it's in that it basically disappears. And you actually think less about I'm using Moodle and you think more of all these people that you're dealing with and you get on with doing what it is we're all here to do. So just like a person learns through feedback and we all learn through feedback. I spent a lot of other keynotes this year talking about feedback in more detail and I might later this week. But feedback is to me is like a universal law of education. It's the most techniques or strategies you use in learning are really ways to improve the type and the amount of feedback that you get. So you're always interacting with other people and if they're giving you feedback that's helping you learn. You're interacting with your environment, you're making things, you're doing things in the environment and you're getting solid feedback on what works and what doesn't. This is social constructionism.  Well just like we learn through feedback, Moodle has to learn through feedback in the same way. Except it's a piece of software that's interacting with the environment, the server environment, the device environment, the incident environment, the environment of other education software, the environment of education policy and all of these things. It's also interacting with people, our users, everybody using it and its reflective mode if you like is sort of our testing. Internally we do testing, there's usability testing but also code testing and performance testing and all kinds of testing that goes on that helps the software evolve kind of by itself. And so what we have to do around Moodle to make it this tool that becomes invisible is to give it lots of feedback and have really good feedback loops. The problem is that the way we are doing things now or the way we have been doing things is that we do have a lot of mechanisms for feedback and I guess a lot of you have seen the tracker and have seen the forums. But most of our time as core developers is about maintaining core. We're keeping up with the environments out there. We're looking after the community systems that we run and we're doing all that kind of work. So despite the opportunities for feedback, I can walk, I realized. Despite the opportunities for feedback, you probably feel pretty small compared to where Moodle's going, you probably feel frustrated that the thing you need it to do is happening fast enough. And you're not really part of the roadmap. And so on a talk like this in the past, I would get up and I would say what the roadmap is and that would be based on the feedback I'd gathered. But I'm just one person. I can only see so much. I can only listen to so much. And so the roadmap is, you know, it was going forward. It was things were happening, but maybe not as effectively as it could have been. There's a huge list of improvements that we all want to see. So how do we make, how do we improve that? What we need to do is we need to have more full-time core developers. Moodle is a complex piece of software. As some of you would know, it's a couple of million lines of code. To have a developer know how to work on that efficiently and to make new stuff, it takes them a few months to learn. They need to work in teams. And so we need people who are full-time committed to that, who are core developers, and that's all they do. And it's much more efficient than having 100 developers who work part-time. Maybe they're in their institutions or whatever, and they do a little bit of programming on the side or in the evenings. But it's less efficient to get all that development in. Because when it comes in, we always have to review it and change it. And it's hard. It's better to have a core team doing it. And we need the feedback from the community to be organized. We need it to be coming to us in larger chunks. I want you to say, we want this, this, this, this, and this in that order. And we would just do it. That would be perfect for us. And it would be perfect for Moodle as a project. So we need your investment in time. Also investment in funds, we need to pay people to work on Moodle. And so we need that to be a better scenario than the way it is now. So there's two big new things that we are working on to improve that. The first one is we're at one, the Moodle Moots. We decided to get involved much more in the Moodle Moots to make them a place where you have a more direct connection with the developers. And you saw a lot of our developers all up here dancing before. You'll see them all around the conference. We're all looking a bit tired because a lot of us flew in late last night or stayed up late last night. So forgive us if we're a bit slow. But we're all here and we really want to talk with you. And there's a lot of things here geared around development. We're also running directly another Moot in the US in a few weeks in Minneapolis. So that's been fun trying to organize two big conferences almost at the same time. And we have this concept now of a new thing, a Moodle official conference, an official Moodle Moot. And the official Moodle Moots will have these kinds of the same sort of structure. And they'll have this very big focus on practical affectation of the Moodle roadmap. So here's some things you can do at this conference. Grab a Moodle HQ staff member, get in their ear, tell them something you care about. We need to hear individually, we need to hear from you. We need to hear those stories and need to hear your voices to understand really what's going on because sometimes a tracker and an issue in the tracker with a few words doesn't really cut it. We'll be recording these sessions. They'll be online at MoodleMood.org. So it's to share and get more feedback from people outside. But also, it makes it kind of like a year round Moodle Moot going on with like a TED Talk-like stream of presentations that you can tune into and just regularly get presentations whether you add a Moot or not. Use this group to get your own feedback. Many of you are presenting. This is a good chance for you to try those crazy ideas and get feedback from others about what you're doing. And lastly, the wishing tree, Joyce mentioned it. There is a tree out there. Take the time, put your wish on there. We will read them. I think we'll have a dedicated session maybe at the Moot, but otherwise later when we get back to the office where we're going to go through all those. The other big thing that's happening here is the working groups and the working groups are starting today. Even if you're not necessarily in them, be aware of them because there's going to be some sessions through the next few days as we refine the ideas. And these groups are working on two particular topics this time. Every Moot will have different ones. And these came out of a survey that Michael Durart, our research director, did. And the first one is on course archiving and rollover. So what happens at the end of a year or end of a semester? What should happen? What's the perfect thing that could happen? And then let's build that. The second one is about assessment analytics. And analytics and performance of students and learners is a huge topic as well. So these will be happening starting off today and going through the next few days. The second big thing we're doing, probably a lot of you have already heard that we are launching a Moodle Association. This is a user association. It's a nonprofit organization. It's separate to Moodle HQ. We're setting it up. We're going to put a committee in and then it's going to be autonomous. The Moodle Association is an organization that will work on collecting fees, like associations do, then deciding what Moodle should do next, deciding on the roadmap, and then basically paying for it. There's, I think I've got some slides here. No, I haven't. With the process of deciding will be a kind of a, will be a voting system, sort of it's a democratic system. The people on big memberships have more votes. The people on smaller memberships have less votes, but everyone has a vote. And there's a quite rigorous six month process, which means at the end of every six months, there will be a deterministic result. There will be a result. This should be developed, this should be developed, and then that should be developed. There'll be a new committee every year at the moment to get things off the ground. We're going to nominate a committee. It needs to be about six or so organizations at least. If you're interested, get in touch. I will talk a lot more about the association at the last session on the last day, so we can have more of a QA. This is not very interactive, this space. But we can have a more, a discussion about it, because I really want to see this thing take off. And I really want to see it be the thing that drives a lot of the Moodle road map, so that you're telling us what to work on. I did say there were two new things, but there's one more thing. Now, I should probably have a black skivvy at this point. There's one more thing. There's a bit of a gap in the Moodle ecosystem. If you're an institution, a lot of us here at institutions, you have IT people who work there, who can run a Moodle site. Or you go to a Moodle partner, and Moodle partners provide services support, consulting. They do all those sorts of things to help institutions with their sites.  How do you use Moodle? You don't have the IT experience. You can't download Moodle and run it on a server, because even with all the help in the world and documentation, that can be quite tricky. And it's just not how things work these days. You don't go and compile code on your phone to install on a new app. You just press a button and it comes. So we have been working for the last few months and developing something to fill this hole, and it's called Moodle Cloud. So this is a new thing we've been working on. Let me show you. I think it's better to show you. If we go to Moodle.com, it's a new website. Anyone who needs help with Moodle, we're still saying go to Moodle partners. We want you to go see Moodle partners. But we're also running this Moodle Cloud. Cheers. Moodle Cloud is the way you can get your own Moodle site in minutes.  We'll get a Moodle Cloud site right now. All right. I guess you could play along at home if you're on a device. So I'm just going to call it Martin, because I'm going to grab Martin. It's available. Where these sites can be hosted in three different locations. U.S. or Ireland or Australia. Am I a robot? No. Get my site. This is where I type in all my secret information. I wasn't going to use my real phone for this, so I have another phone here to use. Now, apparently I think I'm in Sydney. It's close. Melbourne. When you pick a time zone, it's important to pick your own time zone, because when we do upgrades and things, we time it so they happen three o'clock in the morning on your morning, say. So it doesn't affect your general use of the site. There's some terms of service. Basically says, don't break stuff. Don't do illegal stuff.  And there is a more legal version. Now, I just got a text. Hello from Moodle Cloud to finish the setup process. Use this verification code. All right, I will. Someone out in there, your audience has probably already beaten me to this, haven't you? Don't tell anybody. Okay. And now I set myself a password. So it's weak but too bad. So I have a Moodle site. So in that time, we have created the Moodle site. We used a phone authentication, not because we really want your phone number and we really don't care about phone numbers, but if you use a phone, you prevent a whole lot of spammers straight away. Email addresses are very quick to generate. It's not so easy to generate lots of phone numbers. And this is actually going to be costing us something. So we want to keep things efficient. We want to keep it doing the job that we want it to do. We don't want to be spending a lot of time coping with spammers or troublemakers. So now I'm logging in. It redirects. And I get my new Moodle site. I'm already logged in. It's already got my face. It's got that from Gravatar. I'm already in as an admin.  But you can go into the theme settings and change the backgrounds, change the headers of course, change the colors. You can do all of that on the normal Moodle user interface. This is a vanilla Moodle pretty much. It's got a couple of things switched off that are more to do with the back to server side of things. We don't want you messing around with the server side, of course. But it's a vanilla Moodle site pretty much.  It's not a very good example of a course, but it's there. So this is for people who've never seen Moodle before. They can get a bit of an idea. Only the admin can see this sticky note. Only the admin can see this course. So they can go straight ahead, turn editing on, start creating new courses, and off they go. It's very fast. It's very easy. Hope to see lots and lots of Moodle sites for people who need them. So if you just need a Moodle site for testing, you're welcome to use it. If you are, particularly if you're the sort of person who couldn't afford to pay for a server, we hope you use this for and do some teaching with it. So that's how Moodle Cloud looks. I'm going to give you a few more details. Thanks. It's something new for us, but we are doing this, A, to help some people. Secondly, it's to get us closer to end users so that we can see what people are struggling with, perhaps, and we can understand how Moodle gets used. We can understand how Moodle works at scale. We can improve performance. We can improve all the things that need to be done for everybody. But we have now really our own large set of Moodle sites to work with. It's free. It's pretty instant, like I showed you. It's a full Moodle version. It's always current. So we're going to be automatically upgrading these to the latest Moodle point release. Every time we do a release and you don't have to do anything. You're not going to be putting a university on this any time soon. It's hard to, because we're maintaining the configuration, it's under control. We don't have to deal with third-party plugins so much. We don't have to deal with hacks and changes like that. So, you know, we'll be keeping it quite smooth. Your database size is unlimited. No limits on forum posts, content that you put into Moodle through Moodle tools. It's unlimited there. It is limited to 50 users until we get a handle of how this all works. 50 users is a good limit. That's enough to do a class and enough to do trials and have to set up little groups of communities and so on. So we felt that was a good limit. There's a 200 megabyte disk space limit. So I would not expect you to go and upload your desktop into there. It's not Dropbox. It's not Google Drive. It's not any of those things. Use those and link them into Moodle. That's what they're for. The last thing that makes it a bit different is that we have something special added to each of these Moodle sites. And its big blue button is integrated for free on every Moodle cloud site. Big blue button is a... Thanks. It's open source video conferencing, white boarding, but I think it might be better if to talk about big blue button if I got the CEO of big blue button. Fred Dixon, are you here? Are you here? Did he come? He flew in this morning about two hours ago and he said he was going to make it. Did he make it? Fred? He didn't make it. Anyway, he said if he couldn't make it that I was to talk for him so I will. So big blue button, they're really good friends of ours because they're a fully open source project as well. They really believe in open source. They're based in Canada. They've been working for years and years on refining the technologies behind big blue button. It's getting really good. Now, a few views a few years ago, try it again because it's getting really slick. It's particularly, and I've had a bit of a preview of their upcoming mobile apps for accessing this conferencing, it's really good. It's as good as anything else out there. So I'm really pleased that this is integrated into Moodle and we've got it integrated in a very seamless way so that you just add an activity to your course and that becomes a new big blue button session. On these sites, they're limited to six users. Again, to, you know, keep something, keep a bit of a lid on the costs of things but we'll see how it goes. I think it's going to be a really nice tool to just have a quick study group or to get a few people together to talk live about something and to play with big blue button in that context inside Moodle. So it's a shame Fred's not here because I was really looking forward to hearing what he had to say. Maybe you can get him to say something later because he will be here. Finally, I really want to say enjoy the conference, have fun. I am looking forward to it myself. I think I really want to talk with as many of you as I can. I already met some old friends already this morning but come and grab me. I'm here to talk and so all of us here at HQ so thank you very much. Thank you.


Is today the day we arrive in the famous infamous maybe not even real Sky Island ladies and gentlemen walk back to the channel My name is Jack the bus or ice, you know, we we have episodes 154 and 1555 or one bees watchers today If I can speak and the last one we finally made it to the top of this I mean I guess the clouds the clouds above the clouds met Amazon in angel and she snitched to God on them on them for coming in and Trying to find this place said give on to them judgment as if I mean I guess they're trespassing since they didn't pay the X toll or whatever the currency is a lot of questions to answer We're gonna hop right into it if you need to channel drop us up and hit that big wood down Let's hop right in the episodes What's it look? Oh? Not disappointing at all. I've been waiting for this the grand reveal skypia was the name of the map they found You're telling me that ship they found just straight up fell from here. It was terrifying. Did you just find the edge humble over? Things aren't all as they seem coming from what we saw from Amazon True so many possibilities. Oh my goodness Why do they do these shots of just his nose sticking out They're so giddy about it do you need to anchor on clouds bro said who cares take care of Mary, bro I love chopper so much man. He's dropping the anchor still probably a smart move It is beautiful The two adults on board well The bird I forgot about the bird does fly home now. What does Robin think was her take on the skyland row those stairs Is that where they wait? That's not where they came from is it? Hmm. Yeah, true What are the logistics of this that's a great question So you just jump straight down you land on your feet and it doesn't even hurt. It's not water at the same time It's like something in between. Oh, is that a little in on her arm? That's cute She's got a little smile. She seems so uh standoff is at first, but oh a new outlook possibly Oh No, it's just rolling. It's kind of like kids like playing in the snow for the first time chopper's no rolling Flowers are balloons don't really know what to expect on a sky island and before there's just like a Navy base here in the sky Oh my gosh This enormous What is oh no, what is it we stop making like a cloud castle? Big flower Saji such a sweet is a sweetie pie my goodness Technology to make things from clouds. Yeah, true actually maybe like custom shaped What is he using that is an animal? What is that? It's so cute. Oh Oh A harp is why do you just assume that right away? Another angel somebody else for Sanji to simp over we're all like stunned by it Hi, oh, is that so the animal or is she saying hello in like a different language? Oh Sue is the name of the animal. Yes. It was so cute She doesn't seem shocked that they're here. Oh perfect. Can you show us around? She looks nice What a warm welcome. Oh Hard like iron. I knew it look at Sanji. Oh, what is she cutting it with just having a knife on deck? Bonus bonus ensue cloud fox. So it is kind of a fox What is this? So I think it's just like a greeting. I'm pretty sure he's got a cloud motorcycle or what the waiver Wait, that looks sick. Hey, that's so cool Okay, well, is it his first day with it? Wait, did he am I dumb Okay, at least they understand. Yeah, white white. Oh, this is the one above the white sea. Yeah, that makes sense Did he go higher? Oh, they have the same like hair My goodness, why did he try? It's not yours. Oh, she's more worried about him. Did you let him? He kind of just took it They're talking about whether or not he can drown. Yeah.  Oh, there's chopper He's already scared I don't think you could blame yourself other who's writing it now Ten years Is it Nami? Oh, of course she picks it up quickly She is the navigator. Yeah, Luffy's yeah, it makes sense for who he is. He just like jerk it and stuff True, actually, I wonder how that would work on the regularity Oh, oh, they do take oh, they were talking about the chairs like that. Yeah, the milky road. That's what it's made out of That makes sense Sea quads island gods, okay Oh, that's who's sleeping on it Sea prism stone This guy's on the right It's still a little confusing, but I think we need to see the application of it more Okay, I think a very nice warm welcome She's still down there. Oh my gosh, she's zooming because she's gentle with it. Luffy Sink damn. I ain't seen Luffy this envious before Oh, no, what do they cook with? Oh, no, what is it blue sauce? What is it? It sounds cheery over there Yeah, it's a big mechanic that needs to be explained It doesn't look like a regular seashell. Yeah, it's like a phone or something Oh, it's a recorder That's kind of cool just a recorder shell There's just a bunch of different kinds of dials Okay, they just have different applications Oh, okay, just produces wind, but they're found like naturally Storms low breath for wind, but it's natural like those those just occur. They're not just man-made Oh, okay Dude a skating type. That's cool. I'm guessing that's how all they're like I call a large amount of things up here are powered though Oh made from the shells of the oh Lamp dial for all the different like functional. Okay. Yeah, it's just different functionalities It seems like very basic things that can be used for a lot of things The oven is a shell Vision dials to store videos. I guess like a TV.  It's cute makes me think of like a mario for some reason. I don't really know why Are you like paper mario? How far is nami going? Dang that does look really good I love how proud of the food sanji makes.  Oh, she went there. Okay.  This is who amazon was contacting whenever she told them that they were coming in either way Oh, it is just a gigantic. Oh, no, it's not one tree. It's many Okay, so there's something going on here in terms of them not being nobody being loud in the sacred ground Where god is again, I who I'm assuming amazon contacted when they were coming in and it seems like there's a very Very large disconnect between just regular people and whoever this is because whoever was there was alerted But the red these regular people don't know that luffy and all of them were coming and they're treating them very nicely I was I was kind of waiting to see how locals would interpret how they're coming, but they're very welcoming with open arms It's nice episode 155.  I guess it's kind of the point is like if he is like a higher being Oh my goodness gracious. Yeah, it just sets off bells as literally the first place he's going to want ahead His laugh dude, I love it so much even robin smiling from him That's that's a good question I mean how his word like received from him then if she's never even seen him I guess he would have like their angels or disciples or something Yeah, are they like killed do they never return? Oh my gosh Yeah, I feel like this would have been a word of warning before you left her alone with that Luffy just sees it as an excuse to go find her. Yeah to go explore the land. She's she's still there Oh, yeah, she's looking at it. No way would she go in alone though? I doubt it I feel like the rule would be as long as you don't step foot on it Those are huge trees Treasure.  No nami. No Just go back first Is is there even like nighttime here? I mean, it's all I've been I guess the sun would still swing around Yeah, I'm just trying to think of how things would work differently here God in a ruse in a ruse Yeah, there's another boat Oh looks messed up too. I mean it seems like they went off looting. I'm trying to find a quote treasure Oh, yeah Oh, there's a recording. Wait, this is just like a bait boat Wait, I feel like it was to lure her in too Oh wait, I just realized yeah, she wasn't there for the explanation either Okay, she's figured it out quite quickly. Why is it here? Oh my goodness.  Were they attacked right here and rolled right here Uh, nami good sign to just dip right now. This doesn't sound like a good god a nice god Run Wait, is this somebody in the oh my gosh, there's actually somebody in here Oh, there's an angel I think after him. Maybe a treasure hunter was in there I'm surprised he got so far as to be able to run. There's a dude that plays god up here I feel like whoever this god is is sort of uh, we're not in Kansas anymore. What is that story? It's got the tie the lion and uh, all those guys did get far Oh Well, that looks like an ant.  Hey people are like fighting over him.  I'm guessing these are like inneroo subjects Well, at least she still has time to dip. I'm gonna think I'm gonna think I'm gonna think Not in Kansas Anymore wisdom of us. I feel like this is gonna be a wizard of us situation Where in a room whoever this god in a room is isn't as powerful as he says But he just has a ton of people working for him and that's a pretty much like an enterprise Big braining it now, but who knows maybe he is like straight up almighty powerful. Omega.  What are louis? There was a rainbow water louis returns Thank you. I like how you can't see his mouth move. Well, you kind of can because of the beard. Oh, he's an engineer Oh, shoot. Hey somebody's coming to like attack. What the heck? It was that was one of the gorillas, right? There's so many after him, but it seems like they're in competition I feel like they win favor with inneroo if they catch him. Oh, they all have like their own pets Well, maybe not all of them Oh This poor guy just in the middle of all of it and nami's just watching it all go down Oh, this one of the gorillas, right? Yeah, he has the rocket. Yeah Who's the last guy?  Bro wants his life. Yeah. Oh my gosh, brother. This is how you negotiate Yeah, it was another gorilla. Is my boy getting like star trek beamed? UFO beamed? Oh, no, he's being killed. Maybe I was wrong about the whole uh fake god thing. Bro just called a beam down from the sky I don't know who else this is doing could be. This seems like the work of something bigger Virth? Run it back. Virth?   Okay. Everybody here has that sort of hair with the the white berets don't So did this other family not were they not awarded that they were I guess the white berets are telling people now They don't know that where they were criminals She's hiding Okay, it was aniru's doing that did that. Okay. I figured aniru got sick of it Oh, they've been awarded again She's like wait a second illegal entrance seven from the blue sea and this is what would have been avoided I genuinely think she would have said nothing They were treasure hunting. I guess that's why they said again. Yeah Not if you'd never come back to this place Well, it's not seven ordinary people Yeah, that seems like aniru's very close squadron I'm guessing at least nami's lucky to have stumbled upon to get information though This place is crazy. Yeah, she actually saw a great amount saw the sheer power that this god aniru has Aw made himself like a king. Oh, there's the whole crew I think it looked great Oh, yeah, he's just freaking out about nami. That makes sense. I'm just gonna come back Aren't they really old Luffy always just smiling.   Why are they crawling? That's a good good guess usa solid guess choppers never heard this word before I guess are they turtles. Do they just move like that? It's all I genuinely think it's just a greeting Okay, it's not like you guys can fight our crew though. What do you think's gonna happen? So this is heaven's judgment I thought it was gonna be more something like those people that were chasing after that do those treasure hunting But it's it's the white berets a police force of skypia. That's that's our our big objective here apparently our big uh We'll say roadblock again I'm gonna find it very interesting to see what what these other two's reaction to this is because they've seen that Luffy and all them aren't aren't like bad people They're just here to explore and then see what this is all about But now nami has the perspective of what's actually going on Well, not really because we still need to know like if interu is all powerful All knowing like they say or if it's like I kind of guessed like a sort of wizard of us situation Where this has people working for him and can pull the strings behind the scenes I think that's what's possible is because he's the one that probably call or amazon called him and let him know So it's more like he has eyes everywhere instead of being able to actually see everywhere all the time Because if he is able to then that's really op and it's going to be a very large opponent to take down If they even need to again, maybe he's not the the bad guy here I'm just saying it doesn't seem like a great guy if he rules in this way where you can even go near him Because I feel like someone that would like rule above all like that would would want people to visit and like kind of be known Like that because that's been it for episodes 154 155 of our one piece watch So do drop a sub on the channel if you are new and I catch you guys in the next one phase phase
