We're going to make crawling colors. We're going to show you this cool color experiment so you can play too. All you need to start with are five glasses and some water. First, pour some water into three of the glasses. You want them to be in a pattern. Water, empty, water, empty, water. This one, this one, and this one. The glasses need to be the same size and clear so you can see the rainbow. Then you're going to add your color. If you want to make a rainbow, make your first one red. Make the middle one yellow. And you make the last glass blue. These are three parts of the rainbow. I added about three drops in it. And now you're going to mix it with a spoon. Then you're going to add your paper towels. Start with half a piece. Fold it or roll it. It should look like this. Then cut it in half. Then put the paper towel into the red water and bend the dry end into the empty glass. So then you add more paper towels to every cup. The colored water is going to crawl into the empty glass through the paper towel. The yellow is going to mix with the red. It's going to make orange. And the blue is going to mix with the yellow. And that's going to make green. It's going to take a long time, so you have to have a lot of patience while waiting. Do the waves. Jumping jacks. One, two, think big thoughts. Rock, paper, scissors, and shoot. After you played some fun games, check on your rainbow. Wow. The longer you wait, the more colored water will travel over. Can't believe they crawl over into the empty glass. The paper towel is kind of like a bridge because the water goes over the bridge into the empty cup to make really cool colors. To make crawling colors. How to make raisins dance. So you had to make dancing raisins so you can play too. This is what you need to make dancing raisins. You need any type of clear fizzy drink, a glass, and you need raisins. First, you're going to open the bottle and you're going to put it halfway into the glass. Any liquid that's bubbly is called carbonated. Carbonated means that a certain type of gas was pushed into the liquid. As the gas comes out, it makes bubbles that flow up to the top. After that, you take your two smallest raisins that you can find. And you can drop them into your fizzy drink. The bubbles attach themselves to the raisins and float it up to the surface. When the bubbles pop, the raisins sink back down to the bottom. And they're going up and down. They're floating at the surface and I'm waiting for them to pop. I'm flying out. I made background so my raisins can dance on the stage. Rockets. Or you can dance like a raisin. Up and down. Down and up and down and up and down. Up and up and down and up and down. I want to make my own recipes. And today we're making frozen yogurt bites. We're going to show you how to make them so you can play too. First you need plain yogurt. Let's put a little bit of yogurt into our bowls. You can use something to sweeten it like honey or jam. Now let's mix the sweeteners in. The honey stirs in really fast. Mine's changing color with the jam. And then you add fruit like blueberries or strawberries. I'm putting in strawberries. Me too. You can add nuts for something crunchy like pistachios or almonds. I love almonds. It's going to make it really crunchy. Once your yogurt is mixed, you're ready to put it in the ice cube tray. You have to make sure you do it really slowly so it fits in. I'm going to give it a little taste. Tastes so good. I bet it'll taste even better when it's frozen. The cool thing is, if you make a little bit out of time, you can make a different recipe to fill up your tray. New bowls for the new recipe. We're starting with our yogurt again. Then we're going to put in our sweeteners. I'm using strawberry jam for this one. My bowl's turning pink. This time, I'm going to put in some blueberries. This one's going to be really full of stuff. I'm cutting my blueberries so it will mix in. I'm putting in pistachios and almonds. Once your tray is filled up, you're ready to put it in the freezer. The best thing to do is let it freeze overnight. So they're frozen yogurt. These are the ones we made earlier, frozen and ready to eat. I'm going to choose this one because this one looks like it has honey. I think the recipe is super cool because you can make frozen yogurt bites any way you want. Mine has jam, strawberries, and pistachios. I think this has honey, strawberries, and pistachios. This tastes really good. That was super yummy. And that's how you make frozen yogurt bites. Grape and watermelon. But you can choose any fruits you like. Be careful because the skewers are sharp on the top. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take one of the fruits and I'm going to poke it and hold the fruit and then slide it down with a hand. My pattern is going to be a green grape, then a red, and then a strawberry.  What wishes would you want to make? Grant wishes for my family and friends and to make the world a better place. And for me to get a new puppy. I would wish for me to have some magical power, like be invisible or something. Make sure you have the glitter. And put your star watermelon. You can ask any doubt to help you. It should look like there's a star in the watermelon. And place it at the end. These are ribbon. And then just tie it to the bottom of your stick. First, you put some yogurt in the bowl. White yogurt. Yogurt's going to be your paint. Gelatin is going to make the yogurt color. Putting a little bit. And then stir it. Green paint. And I'm making orange flavors make different colors. The color darker. When you swirl it, it looks like it's a big tornado. And when the gelatin and yogurt are mixed together, you can use your spoon like a paintbrush. Get a plate and then start making your picture. Being a blue line. I want to use orange now. You kind of have to pour it out of your spoon a little. Then you can smear it around. Mm, that would smell good. I'm making a rainbow. Me too. I'm going to use two lemons to make eyes. I'm going to use red to make eyelash. I'm done with my rainbow. It looks really pretty. Thank you. Fruit is blueberries because they're very yummy and sweet. Now blueberries for my eyeballs. My favorite fruit is a strawberry. That's why I use them for eyes. I'm using two oranges for cheeks. There's my more paint on top of my paint. And if you don't want the paint somewhere, just dip it on your finger and eat it. For Instagram, I'll tell you we made our own snow. We're going to show you how to make it so you can play too. To make your own snow, you'll need some baking soda. You need two cups. And then you just pour it into a pan or a bowl. You can add some glitter to make sparkly snow. Just sprinkle the glitter all over. Air conditioner. You're going to want to squirt it in. It's so gloopy. Next, you're going to want to mix it. It smells very good because we added the conditioner. The conditioner makes the baking soda stick together. It's also sticking to the spoon. It might be better to just use our hands. Time to get messy. I'm ready. It's so snowy. It's so squishy. It's snowing. Want it stickier and clumpier? Add more hair conditioner. Or you can use it nice and fine, like a flurry snow. I'm going to add more hair conditioner to make it clumpier. And I'm going to try to make a snowman. That's a good idea. You might want to save some of the snow as flurry snow. So squishy. Ooh, and it's cold too. The snow feels cold because the conditioner is kind of wet. I have the bottom of our snowman. Let's make more. There's the middle. There's the top. You can also add some toys to play in your snow. This car is having a hard time driving because the streets are covered in snow. I made a snowy mountain. Let's make the tallest one yet. It's snowing on the snowy mountain. And that's it. That's how you make homemade snow. Love playing astronaut. And we're going to show you how to make space sand so you can play too. The first thing you need to make space sand is a big bowl. The first ingredient you need is three cups of flour. I'm going to dump the flour in the bowl. The next thing you need is gelatin, one cup of gelatin. I'm dumping the gelatin in. The gelatin color is red. And that will make your sand red too. And now we're going to mix it together. The red and the white are coming together. It's starting to look sandy. It's starting to turn into a light red, almost like a light pink. There are little pieces of red and white in it. Next, I'm going to add some glitter. You can put as much glitter as you want. Now we're going to make a hole in the middle to put baby oil on it. Feels very soft. Now we're going to add a half a cup of baby oil. This is just regular baby oil. Now I'm going to put the baby oil into the hole. And then you mix. It feels so mushy. It feels very hard, but it feels also a little bit wet. You can just squeeze it. You could squeeze it like actual sand. Just squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. It's really cool, because you can mold it into any shape you want. Or just play with it. Over, coming through the red sand. Look, astronaut one, I found a volcano. Astronaut one, we have discovered red sand. Landing in three, two, we make space sand. How to make an ocean in a bag. Look at my sparkly ocean. We're going to show you how to make one so you can play too. First, you need to squeeze some hair gel into a bowl. It's really gooey. Yep, very gooey. Then you want to drop some blue food coloring into the gel. Just put in a few drops. You can always add more if you want to. Then you mix the food coloring and the hair gel together. Once your water is mixed, you're ready to make the rest of your ocean. First, you'll need a plastic bag. I'm adding some rice to make it look like sand. Now I'm going to add some sea animals. Me too. I'm going to add a little pink crab. I'm adding a turtle and a cute little fishy. These are just little plastic toys. We can use plastic grass for seaweed or kelp. I'm going to use some paper for seaweed. Me too. If you want to, you can squench some of your paper off to make it look more like seaweed. I'm going to add a little bit of glitter. I like sparkly water. Important tip, do not put anything sharp in the bag. If you do, it will pop the bag. Once you have everything inside, then it's time to put your water in. Can you hold the bag for me? Sure. Can you hold my bag open? Sure. Yeah, there we go. That's what I need. And then you have to seal the bag. Here you go. Oh, it feels like cool water on a hot day. It feels so mushy and fun. You just keep squishing and mix everything together. I put in a manta ray, some seaweed, and a dolphin. It really looks like the ocean. Just much more sparkly and glittery. Swim, Mr. Turtle, swim. And that's how you make an ocean in a bag. You just need some recycled bottles. You can use glass or plastic, but make sure to clean out the bottle, and it's all dry. Then you could fill your bottle with whatever you want. Different stuff will make different sounds. We have some beans, beads, rice, and pasta. And I'm not going to put too much, because I don't want such a heavy sound. Let's try this out. Ooh, that's nice. I like that a lot. Add some little beads so it doesn't make a boom, a boom, a boom. I'm going to do is I'm going to put some of this nice, pretty tinsel in the inside of my bottle. The tinsel will change the sound. Maybe. I'm going to add some blue and silver ribbon. Big tip, don't fill it up all the way to the top, because you want room for the things inside to shake. And then you put your cap on and seal it tight. And then you can decorate the outside, too. I'm going to use some stars and smiley faces, just to make it bling. I'm going to use some of these star stickers. Now these stickers are pretty. You can decorate it really any way you want. You can use ribbon. You could use duct tape. It's important that all the glasses are the same size. So let's try it out. The less water there is in the cup, the higher the notice. The more water there is in the cup, the lower the notice. Now this is going to be the lowest note, because it has the most water. Let's try the difference between this cup and this cup. See the difference? Now let's try it between this one and this one. See the difference there? Now let's try it between this one and this one. Let's add them all together. So then you keep experimenting until you have the sounds you want. Now I'm going to use some food coloring just to make it colorful. The color doesn't really affect the sound, but it just makes it pretty. My favorite color is either blue or pink. Now let's test it out how you make a water xylophone. First ever water xylophone concert in the world presenting Dun Dun Dun.

How are you guys? This is beautiful. How's the weather in DC and Boston right now? I am curious. I moved to Miami, so it looks like this outside. Oh, I brought my background, so you cannot see it. Miami right now is summer, but not really summer. Racheb, did you email my team to join me on Zoom? To do live mock interviews? I haven't seen you join yet, so it's on Zoom. The Zoom link is in the chat. Cool. And also, by the way, guys, so today we do mock interviews.

Just come and mock interview in the chat. I will do mock interview directly. Stain said Chicago cold, like always. And Kavya said, you're very cold in Boston right now. Oh, you're in the waiting room? I don't see you in the waiting room. Which Zoom link did you use? Oh, did we use the wrong Zoom link? Huh, one sec. Let me. I don't see my Zoom link. Maybe it's the wrong Zoom link. You're waiting. You're in Zoom link. Racheb, hold on. Let me do this. Racheb, why don't you email me? Maybe my team sent you a long link. Sorry. Email me at nancy at drncd.com. And then I'm going to send you the right Zoom link. Cool. Anybody want to join to do mock interview? You can directly email me. I send you the Zoom link. Awesome. OK, cool. For your introduction, this is Dr. N-C-V. Let's get started on the popular microphone. Hello, guys. You can hear me, right? And cool. Microphone switched. Hey, guys. This is Dr. N-C-V, a direct product featured in Forbes. I've helped 100 people land their dream job offer in fan companies and unicorn startup, continue to promote it as a product leader. Actually, something very exciting. When I've seen lots of people, even in this recession, they're making great progress. For example, in February and last month, we still land two fan offers and one director offers and one TikTok offers. And the fan offers are Amazon and Apple. I'm sorry. Sorry, Amazon and Meta. It's still an opportunity. So that's why today we're doing free mock interview with all of you guys. I want to make sure that you guys know what went wrong in your interview prep process. Probably you couldn't land job interview or probably you landed interview. You don't know how to pass the interview. So today let's focus on how can you fix the interview preparation process. So comment on the chat. Oh, by the way, I also did a mock interview with chatGVT. I published a new video yesterday. You guys should definitely check it out. ChatGVT almost passed Google interview. Some interview, it did well. Some of you didn't do well. And behavior interview definitely did very well. It can also pass for a design interview with Google as well. It's crazy. It's crazy. OK, so now let's get started. Let me make sure I send people the right Zoom link. Maybe my team sent in the wrong Zoom link. But anyway, so let me I got your email. We're going to write a copy invitation. OK, we shop. Yes, I just sent you the Zoom link. Everyone else want to join me for free mock interviews. You can email me and get a Zoom link as well. OK, so let's do this. Let's go through today's key content first. Then we do mock interviews. Actually, very excited. This is the most fun part of my live feedback to other people. Slice show. All right, today we do product mock interview so that you're able to pass your job interviews and land a job offer. Awesome. So you know me, each time I want to go live, I like to share inspiring stories so that you guys not only try to land a job offer and also have the momentum to continue to keep going. Because of course, you will get rejected. Of course, the market is very competitive. But there's always a way to make it happen. But if you give up too early, in general, you would not be able to achieve your results. So therefore, I decided to add many inspirational stories for all of you guys. OK, so this is actually a story of Chan. So Chan was a Deloitte consultant. All right, so let me tell you a story regarding how she joined Amazon. And actually this, the way how, by the way, Chan received the offer from Amazon last year, not right now. OK, we have another student, which is a Yanish. He received an offer from Amazon, which is in February, which is a month ago. So let me tell you Chan's background. And later on, we can tell you about a Yanish background. OK, so when Chan received an offer from Amazon last year, her background was like consultant Deloitte and also like BS in financial engineering, partner MBA in 2023, and no technical background at all. But when she joined Amazon, she actually became a technical product manager for Amazon. OK, so once you guys really understand, it is possible and also use the right strategy. Number one thing what Chan did was, even if she doesn't have technical background at all, she joined Amazon working on something technical. What she did is the number one, she actually took cloud certification. If you want to work on AWS or like stuff, you need to understand what cloud is. And she actually took like cloud certification. You can go to like AWS cloud certification. You can Google online the three-day certification is also three-hour certification to learn something technical before you even become product manager. But let me define technical. Learning something technical is different from knowing how to code. OK, my PhD is in material science. I have been working on cloud computing, edge computing, AI space for like five years. I literally don't know how to code, but I'm able to describe what the technology is and have a communication with my engineering team. That's all you need. You need to understand what is the right thing, right level, right depth you need to have in order to become a technical product manager. OK, number one thing. So Chan took some kind of certifications out there. Number two is that when she started to continue looking into getting into fan companies, she started to leverage her past consulting experience as a Deloitte. She was like most of us and didn't like went to have a business school, you know, didn't work for McKenzie, those kind of company. By the way, even like McKenzie consultant cannot become product manager because right now it's extremely competitive. OK, so now she took a different approach. She was like, well, as a consultant Deloitte, I have done lots of things as relevant product management, but as a consultant, I'm like all pieces of information. So she decided to learn the end product management and then put her past consulting experience into a portfolio to demonstrate, well, in this project, I did 50% of the whole end product cycle. For that project, I did 30% end product cycle, but I did 20 different projects together. We have, she had gone through multiple products end product management cycle. So she was using product portfolio strategy to get into Amazon. OK, I want you guys to use the same methodology to upgrade yourself, upgrade your skills to then into the next level. As I said, her offer is from last year, but last month we still have Meta and also Amazon offer. OK, so for people, I talk about our last month's offer also show you guys her, his LinkedIn profile, Yannish as well. OK, you guys can find him on LinkedIn, one-hour students. Yeah, it's out there. So someone else can make it happen. Why not you? If you look up online, there's more than one opening in those fan companies, but it's very selective, right? So which means that, hey, make sure you support a portfolio strategy, which is going to help you to achieve your result much faster. Of course, once in an interview, you know how to pass the interview. That's why you're here to do mock interview with me. And for everyone who get ready to do mock interview, please make sure you go to this website, darkness.com, slash 50 fan, to download your PM mock interview questions.

So you guys make welcome, welcome. You guys make sure to like and share the free coaching with everybody, at least in the live this and everyone hit like button right now. Okay. Tell me your 30 seconds elevator pitch. Tell me about yourself. Okay. So hi, I'm Reshop Sharma. I have two years of experience working in planning in organizing hackathons, brand development and building strategies while acting as the lead organizer of India's largest student run hackathon. And I started my career as a front end developer but soon got promoted to the project lead of the same project which became my first introduction to leadership. Then acting as a organizer, I got an opportunity to work and improve my planning, communication and problem solving skills which landed me my current role of branding intern at an NFT business startup where I am building road maps and strategies for the expansion. Having worked in these domains, I think I have gained experiences and skills which I can apply and contribute meaningfully to the product development. Hence I aspire to be a product manager and use my skills. Awesome. Okay. Cool. And I'm glad you definitely watch our 30 seconds at a very good pitch video. Skip ready for this. This is very good. I can see. Okay. So tell me what kind of role are you trying to land? For example, my current... For them? Or tell me more. Four time PM job or part time? Or internship? Actually I'm looking for a full time job and like it's also well if it's followed by an internship that's also okay to me. Okay. So what type of companies? Particularly SaaS startups. Okay. So you're trying to aim startups right now? Yeah. Awesome. Okay. So let's do this. What kind of... Do you want to do part of a case interview or behavioral interview? Like as you wish. Like I am comfortable with both, I guess. Okay. So let's do some behavior interview first and see if in past behavior you cannot even pass behavior interview. I don't think other interviews would be easy on you. Okay. So let's do this for startups. Rishabh. So tell me an example when you turn a product from concept to execution. Sorry? Tell me example when you turn a product from concept to execution. Okay. So like as I've said my current role in the current startup. So when we started like in the ideation phase so like we had to decide first for the product. We have focused on the problem which was the problem faced by the indie artist in India currently for particularly three things we were new reach and reconnecting with fans. So getting across those three problems like we started with the building for looking at the existing solution like are there any solution as of now and what are the problems being faced by the indie artists in actually and we run through some interviews with one of the indie artists that we knew personally to think like what solutions they are thinking and are just anonymous with our own product or not. So we tried creating an intersection between their ideas and our ideas and use a technical expertise of Web3 and NFTs to solve that problem. And then like before the execution things we hired a few advisors like who were continuously advising us on the execution part and we break down our product into few stages. We first decided to build an MVP so that we can launch and attract a potential customer base which we were focusing on like the early doctors for our products. So the basic MVP we decided was like at least the artist can create and maintain sell their NFTs and with the rest of the features coming soon in the two of the months. And on the basis of that feature like we are currently running our campaigns and the marketing campaign getting more and more artists towards our platform and pitching them through like the what are the things on the onboard and we aim to like the ship the upcoming features as soon as possible the next feature being shipped in the next month. So I would say that I am at a very early startup so like there was not much student from the execution from the concept of the execution and we have been working just on the MVP and the first feature right now. Okay, so it's very hard to follow to be frank. I don't think you use, I don't see you to training from out of my videos regarding how to turn a product from concept execution. Did you watch the free training? No, I have not. Okay, let me show you. You didn't follow the right framework. It's very hard to follow. I believe you did a good job for those like NFTs startups. Even if you did the first version MVP there's still a lot of stories to help but the way you told your story wasn't good. So let me, it's just not memorable. So let me do this. Let me share my screen and show you what framework to use and how to improve your answer. Okay, so everybody see my screen? Oh, I haven't shared yet. Hold on, hold on. Okay, come here. Okay, now go to this playlist for the managed interview questions and answers. They will definitely ask you those questions. Launch a product from concept to execution. Okay. So this video has, how many, 8,000 views already. So everybody need to go here. Okay, everybody go like this video. Make it 300 likes. First of all, let me copy paste. Everyone can watch this to say all the simple answers and you guys need to dig in. Okay, I put it in the chat. Let me know both YouTube and LinkedIn, guys. Can you guys see what I post in the chat? Let me know, say yes if you can see it and double check you guys have everything. So let me go through the framework with you guys. Yeah, I'm missing the framework, number one. So in this video, everyone watch it. So I share this in the chat already. So most importantly, when you talk about how to answer this question, you need to give an overview of your product and then break into three phases. Number one, phase number one is ideation phase. I think you talk a lot about ideation. You don't call that ideation. You also told us lots of stuff. It's very hard to understand what's going on. Okay, we'll tell you how to make it shorter at all. So number two is MEP. Number three product launch. Looks like you're missing product launch. What we'll tell you how to bridge the gap. Okay, but your first part, the way you tell ideation was way too long. So let me help you to make it shorter. So I can answer this question in like two minutes, no longer than three minutes. Number one, you can tell them, hey, let me tell you an example when I turn ABC product from concept execution. You give it a name. What is the NFT, what? Any NFT or NFT for developer, what? Tell me more. NFT platform. Yeah, NFT marketplace platform. Like OpenSea, right? Yeah. Cool. So when I turn NFT marketplace platform from concept to execution. First of all, let's talk about the entire ideation phase. I took three phases, ideation, MEP and launch. First of all, let's talk about ideation. Ideation, talk about how we come up with ideas, the way you describe the whole ideas is wrong. Okay, if you talk about, you talk to, let's say 50 different customers, you had a customer with a customer interview, then you realize they have this kind of pain point, point number one, two, three, I don't know what exactly is a pain point. You have this kind of pain point. And then you can talk about next step, I decided to like have a brainstorming session to figure out what's the best strategy to solve the problem, which is creating an NFT platform. Okay, so now using the framework, tell me again, how do you do ideation? Okay, so like as for the framework, I would say that the ideation pretty much started from the first person point of view because the founder, the person who is the founder of the startup was actually into music industry and he was building, like he was creating his music pieces. So he was facing the similar problems that other artists also faces in the industry. But to validate that, if the problem is being faced by other artists as well or not, like as we said- What problem? What problem? What problem? So the problem was of the three basic things that the Indian artists face, it is of reach, revenue, and the reconnecting with fans. So like for, as of the current scenario for the reach, they have to collaborate with some major distribution labels, which take up to 80% of the revenue share. So the artists are left with a very minimal piece of the, you know, the music fees. And apart from that, the second thing is to publish their music on platforms like Spotify, which again pays them very low and the rate is approximately $3 to $4 per thousand views. Wow, very low. Wow. Okay. So very good. So you have lots of insight and say, wow. So starting from talking, I would say it's fine, through the ideation phase, no need to mention the founder, whatever, your part of team. First of all, we, first of all, our team decided to interview lots of artists in the music industry. And we discovered three key pain points, reach, revenue, and engagement with fans. And by talking to 100, how many artists you have, you discovered that first of all, well, when they tried to reach to, when they try to make living of music and their revenue share is only like 20% when they work with labels. But if you publish on Spotify, they're only getting $3 out of 1000 views. And they are not able to get paid for what they're worth for their creativity. So this pain point is universal out of 100 artists where it's hard to. And then it's like much more like clean and better to describe the situation. Yeah. Okay, so did you do surveys? We just talked to them. So like the survey part was done before I joined the team, but after I joined the team, like major of the part was done through interviews and personal interaction through the artist venue. Okay, they can say that I had like a voice of customer interview in person interviews with 2100, a lot of the different kind of artists and learn the following three things.  So now in one sentence, tell me why the NFT marketplace is going to help the musicians solve the top three pain points right now. Okay. Okay. So the first one, like I would start with the revenue as I say. So on our platform, the first of all revenue, how the NFTs are going to solve them. So the artist would be getting the revenue that they generate by selling the NFTs. And another model that we have on our particular platform is that whenever an NFT gets resold, even after the first purchase, then always a royalty. The some part of the NFT price would be going to the artist as ownership as a creator royalty. So it is like a permanent source of revenue, a recurring source of revenue for them. And this is a way that it is helping them on the revenue thing. And second, coming to the reach, we have an internal community of our own listeners and we have started a referral program where people are motivated to find out the good music which they think can get popular. They promote their music.  So increasing the artist's reach. And thirdly, the engagement with fans. We currently, there's no such platform which provides music artists with the data of their listeners which can differentiate its listeners into two categories that is listener and fans. Like no artist knows at how many times which person is listening to his song on Spotify. So we are aiming to provide that data through our platform so that user can engage better with their fans instead of all the listeners. Okay, great. I really like it. Okay, we just need to break it down. You break it a little bit. Okay, so through the brainstorming session, we started this NFT platform. Number one is to solving the revenue strategy. A revenue pain point. We decided to use a token and they got an initiative when they pernailed that episode you just said. Number two, because it says three pain points describe how we solve all three unless you only solve two, then you talk about two, right? So number two is about engagement with the audience. And we are the only platform was able to collect the data of the audience directly sent over to the artist. To make it short, right? I wanna use one sentence described how you solve the third pain point. Okay, you use one sentence per pain point straightforward get there. And so now we're moving to phase two. Hello, Abda, how are you? And I saw you on the Zoom as well. Cool, we're gonna get to you later on for your mock interview. So now next part is then we go into phase two which is really building MVP and test out the market. So when you talk about your MVP you should talk about how exactly you build MVP. You're working on engineering team, cross-functional team there are 50 people in it, you need to talk more regarding how exactly you build a product. Okay, so tell me more, how will you develop MVP? Okay, so like the two of the three of our team members who are working in the tech team who were building the entire thing on their own one on the front end and two on the back end. So they had developed everything. I was particularly on the growth part more on getting the data through the service and interviews like what can be done through them. And apart from them, we have people in the marketing team. No, no, no, the way you describe how your MVP is incorrect. Okay, this specific management framework you follow, okay. Watch the video, everybody follow the framework. Okay, everybody follow the framework. Okay, okay, this one, this one and move this, okay, I can direct it. Is this one? Okay, this framework, which also I have a whiteboard I write down what the framework should look like. Everyone should just go listen and use it. Okay, so do it. Now, in the framework, when talking about developing MVP it's not about all of my engineering it's not describing your team members it's about from your perspective how you lead the team to build it. When we develop an MVP we're using agile methodology. We have a team of three engineers, two marketers and one product manager, which is me. I turned the customer's requirements into an engineering-facing user stories and requirements. And through the daily stand-up user story grooming and the engineering team started to develop the product. Once we have the any initial features that's available I continuously bring this back to our customers to receive feedback and bring it back to our engineering teams through user stories so that we continue to improve our MVP. Eventually our MVP became very mature we're able to test out the market to get early adopters. That's when we launched our first version of our MVP minimum viable product, that's your phase three. Okay, so your entire framework is incorrect it's not about what did I do? Everyone needs to understand this it's not about what you did. It is about what hiring manager want to hear to be frank. Okay, so how things work is whenever you go into an interview we have a sheet say we need to take notes and then send over to HR and this person pass on that, right? We need to see, oh, was this person's product requirement framework, how did he develop MVP? Agile process, no Agile, did he communicate with like customers? So we need to answer the questions in the checklist. That's why our questions and our student insider problem manager accelerator which is the program I teach, the question is better was because this is what hiring manager want to hear you got to say things like this. Okay, so therefore you watch the YouTube video which tell you exactly the five different things you must say in those answers that's why you can pass those interviews. Okay, so that is not describing what exactly happened. It's like, oh, let me say something hiring manager is looking for so that they can mark it on the sheet. So that's the key. Okay. Okay, so yeah, watch the video and putting the YouTube channel in the chat you guys should get it. If you couldn't get it, feel free to email my team at info.pmacenter.io, okay? You should have everything. Okay, so let's do our next mock interview. Let me double check. We don't know. I have too many tabs open. Oh, another important resources for all of you guys before we do the next mock interview. And let me share my resource right now. Right here. Okay, everybody, here is how you find mock interview partners. Right here. Everyone should take a screenshot right now. Okay. And you directly go find a mock interview partner. You can join which group and anything group, find a mock interview partners and use the right framework. You're going to improve significantly. Oh, another quick reminder. Next inner circle. Next Thursday is our inner circle. And actually, okay. So this is our every month we have inner circle. This is our last month's inner circle, the February 23rd. And actually next Thursday, we have another inner circle. People can join for free, which is about how to use chativity to pass any job interviews. We haven't, we haven't viewed the website yet, but it's the same website, doclanity.com slash inner circle. And join. So go to this website. You're able to get a zoom link. Okay, doclanity.com slash inner circle. Get a zoom link to our inner circle for next Thursday. Okay, so it's right. Oh, let me also put the link in the chat as well. One sec. Let me share my screen so that you can continue to take a look. That's for chat GBT. We haven't viewed the website. No, we haven't updated it. The website is from last month, every month of a new one. But you should register right now so that you will get the link. One sec. Oops, hold on, hold on. Too many tabs open. So let me put it in a circle. Here, very exciting. Okay, so let's do that. Let's continue our mock interview. Let me, what, I'm sharing something. Am I sharing? Okay, great. No, I'm not sharing. Okay, great, cool. Oh, quick reminder actually. Everyone who is here, what about offers for that? So people frequently think about, well, what do I do? Is this really, are there still opportunities? The answer is yes. Okay, so this is what happened in February 22nd. This is our latest offer celebration. And as I said, we have one student, Elle, then offer for Metta, the other student, Ayanish, and then offer from Amazon L6, senior PM internship offer, Rashmi Land, director offer, Amy Land offer from TikTok, and she was a CPA, basically. She's working on accounting software and then she land offer in Canada and she land offer in the US at the senior PM from TikTok. Okay, so then other people doing different kind of interviews out there. So guys, there are opportunities out there. It's like, I want you to use the best resources to really land a job offer. Okay, just the best one and then a job offer. That's the only differences, but there's still more opportunities. Just make sure you guys are ready to be the number one. Just the market is very competitive. You need to do actual effort just like getting free coaching from here today and also share this video, okay? Share the video and like it with any aspiring product managers or senior PMs out there. Awesome. So let's continue Mark interview. Do I have other questions? We will talk about other questions. I don't know, let's finish our Mark interview first. Let me ask. Abda, hello, can you turn on your camera? I hear you to do Mark interviews. Can you unmute yourself? I cannot hear you. Hi. Hello, can you turn on your camera?  Why? Because I'm outside right now. Just I'm hearing. Oh, you listen to it. Okay, so my team, did you submit your questions? Does my team send you the Zoom link? Where? Where did you find the Zoom link? Did my team email you the Zoom link? Yes. Okay, so why Rush Hub? You are getting different Zoom link. Interesting. I bought the link in the mail but like I was not able to join so that it just kept me in the waiting room. But I joined the event through which you send me on the personal email again. Interesting, interesting. Why are you two getting different links? But anyway, cool. So let's do this, let's do this. Let's do another quick Mark interview. Let's do a quick Parsons Mark interview. And we go through other questions submitted in the chat. Oh, by the way, people who join us live, you should do Mark interview with us together. Rush Hub, so let's do this. Let's do a quick Parsons interview because of time we may not be able to finish it but we'll try our best and it also depends on your performance, okay? Everyone who is here on YouTube live or LinkedIn live let's do this case together. Gonna do product case interview and product sense interview. You guys put the questions, your answers in the chat. You can also ask me specific questions. You can put a question in the chat directly and most important when we do customer segmentation everyone who join us, you can put your answers in the chat we'll review it live as well. Okay, so now let's do the following. Product design interview. This Google interview question, design a bookshelf for elderly. So Rush Hub, so help me to do this. Tell me if I ask you design bookshelf for elderly how would you do it? Like I just wanted to clarify like it is only particularly for elderly or we are receiving some mixed audience. Just elderly people. Okay. Everyone else I can see your answers in the chat as well. So putting in the chat, how would you do customer segmentation? Bookshelf for elderly people. Yeah, feel free to put in the chat. Okay, and I still there. Yeah, put your answer in the chat. Everyone put your answer in the chat. I'll review it. Oh, Rush Hub, you don't need to put in the chat to tell me your answer. Everyone else put in the chat. So what do you think? So like very sorry for but like I cannot, you know, able to get that but I have to deliver. So could you please explain with that? What type of thing you are expecting me to, you know? Oh, product design. Have you done any product design case before? No, that's why like I'm facing a bit of a problem. I have not done this in case. Okay, then we cannot do today's marketing interview. Anybody who's live with us, you can put your answer in the chat. I will all review and answer. Okay, now let's give you guys over. You guys don't know how to put a design. Okay, come here. Let me give you guys the framework, what we expect. So product design. Go to, here's how things work. Go to my channel, go to my channel. The second most popular video. First is Google and second is best product design case. Interview question, this has all the framework you need. And, okay, come here. Go to this video, the best product manager design. Interview question, step number one is you need to do customer segmentation. So this one is about design Uber app for people with disabilities. This video, Uber app with people with disabilities, you come here. When we talk about this one, you need to think about how would you break down different kind of customer segmentations? Okay, so which is like, of course, you start with mission Y. Why we're designing Uber app for people with disabilities? You comprehend the situation first. This is for like, for matter interview, we talked about the mission and why and of course, download the top 10 clarifying question to ask the interviewer. You should go to this. The link is also in the description of this at top 10 and download this yourself. Okay, and the rest is go. The top three are today's. Okay, great. So now after you finish this one, you break down customer segmentation, riders and drivers. This is again, this is for Uber. So that's where the customer segmentation coming from. So when we talk about design bookshelves, the customer segmentation, thinking about what different type of people using bookshelves. And now at here, we break it down to like, riders continue to break it down, drivers can continue to be broken down as well. All right, so that's for basically, the video has all the framework you're looking for. After you talk about that, and you talk about different pain points, which is right here. Yeah, it's right here. Do I write it right? I believe I wrote pain point on the, yeah, yeah, yeah. So basically you talk about the pain point for each side of marketplace. But before you do that, you need prioritize the customer segmentation because so many customer segmentation prioritize your prioritize one. And then you talk about what different kind of like, pain points you have for each segmentation. Then you continue to prioritize your pain points so that you know what pain point to solve the problem. So we prioritize this pain point. And then you start to create ideas, different type of ideas. Okay, idea best ideas, moonshot ideas, okay, for the prioritize pain point. So basically that's how you answer this interview question. And basically apply the same framework for other interview questions as well. Okay, cool. I want to give this video like make a thousand likes, make a thousand likes. Okay, very important, make a thousand. Let me also share this video in the chat so everyone can see it as well. Okay, cool. Well, let's do this. Let's do Q and A. We are not going to complete the mocking because you're not prepared. Watch this, okay, study this first. Now let's do this. Let me, let's go through other pre-submit questions. Is this a question? Chandra, what are the necessary keywords to be in resume for senior PM role? Oh, very good question. For senior PM role, here's the important part you need to put in. It's about the scope of work. For senior PM is more, not about, hey, I wrote requirements, the impact and led a team of how many? You don't need to, as senior PM, you may not manage entry level PM, but you can say led a team of 20 engineers, like manage capital budget of $50 million, $150 million, the bigger the better. For senior people, it's very, very extremely important that you talk about the scope of work and the impact you had to the organization, which is very different from entry level PM. Okay, so do that. So watch this and, oh, everyone should watch the resume template. Tips, let me also share another. Video for all of you guys. Everyone come here. Go to the resume video we have here. Resume keywords, so go to these two places. That's a different kind of keyword you use for your resume. Okay, so those has everything you need and must have put a manager resume keywords leading to PM interviews. So everything is here. So make sure to come here to watch it and study more. Okay, let me put the link in the chat for all of you guys. Cool, let's do Q and A. Oh, Simon, do you pull up WeChat and LinkedIn QR code again? Okay, yes, let me show you. Yeah, let's do it right now and pull up right now. You can take a screenshot. Right here, take a screenshot right now. You can scan the QR code to join the WeChat group and LinkedIn group to find your mock interview partners. Okay, take a screenshot. Did you do it? I assume you did okay. Now let's come to the next. Pincas, what are the different? What are the different good PMs from mediocre PMs? Very good question. I'm gonna make a YouTube videos and I have it already. Okay, so here, I have a YouTube video about this. So let me give it over to you first. Good PM or like okay PM. Good PM, think about the long-term strategic impact. Okay, so bad PM, think about how can I get the job down today? Good PM, thinking about leadership. Bad PM, think about management. Leadership means that how can align the vision within the team. So bad PM, think about how can manage people to do job I ask them to do. That's differences. Now, good PM also think about cross-functional like organizations and impacts so that they can do alignment much better and better and faster in real-life scenario. Bad PM only think about how can they make their own team fast, go faster, but they didn't think about the entire like companies roadmap. Okay, good PM also very good at probably speaking storytelling. Bad PM is only good at technical stuff, which is let me just write requirement, let me just do some whatever, technical conversation with engineers. All right, so that's a huge differences between good PM and okay PM. Now, let me, oh, there is the videos. Let me show you guys, there it is. A YouTube video I filmed. Where is, oh, right here. Differences in good PM, bad PM. Oh, there is a video here. I think I put it under senior PM playlist. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hand difference between a good PM with a bad PM that you can get fired or promoted. So I talk about 10 different kind of like differences and you guys should continue to figure, to watch this. Okay, let me, 10 differences. Let me share this in the chat and put it in the chat so you will have it. I can't hit send, that's weird. I don't know why I cannot hit send. You can reply, I'll reply, what, hold on, hold on. I don't know why I was, I cannot hit send. But anyway, ooh, it's frozen. That's weird. Anyway, you guys should go here. Basically, this video I just shared with you. Okay, so let's continue the next question. Right here, let's do the next one. JD said, how to answer? Tell me about your past product is an optimal framework to use. Yes, how to, tell me about your past product is about a similar to turn the product from concept to execution. All right, so, but tell me about your past product is the same framework, but you spend more time talking about the impact. So from all my past product is like using AI to help cities reduce car crashes. Using that past product example, I will talk about the customer pain point. We have ideation. And then when we launched the product has been used by 10 different cities within six months and different kind of impacting emphasis. When you tell your past product is similar to ideation to launch, but you spend lots of time talking about upfront what problem you solve and the impact you had. Okay, so hopefully this helped you. Katherine, how to in your PMA program? Okay, here's how things work. Hey guys, go to this website, it's still workable. Yes, so I have a coaching program that have helped 100 people land their dream PM job offering thank companies, you can start up, so it's right here. So go to this website, darknancy.com slash masterclass and register, pick the time worst best for you to attend the masterclass and then stay until the end to understand how you are able to quickly leverage yourself into the next level by joining our program or not. But stay until the end, we will talk about who do we select to join our program. Okay, but this is a free coaching for all of you guys to get started right away. And using the portfolio strategy, I just covered in the masterclass. Nice, nice, cool, nice, cool. Okay, so let me see if I answer all the questions enough. Oh, install the question, PMA leader, yeah, PMA leader goes to darknancy.com slash leader, we should after you land a job.

Hello, everybody. I'm Jérôme Irbine from the Arawa Company. We are a French partner, a gold partner of NextLoud, and today I will now I will talk to you about making contribution to NextLoud and how to make it even greater based on one year of contribution. So I'm talking in the name of the company because we are several people, several employees that contribute to NextLoud. There are a lot of ways to contribute to NextLoud, but we are mainly contributing through two access Github for bug reporting and code source contribution and also translations, wordings through trans defects. So this is what we did within one year. On Github, we've created open 60 issues about its rounded value and we've got 50 successful poll requests in the source code of NextLoud and also we did more than 2,200 translations and more than 600 translations reviews, I mean translations made by other people. Before giving you some tips and good practices about contributing to NextLoud, I would like to give you some feelings that we have when we contribute to NextLoud. So we are very proud to contribute to a project which is used by tens of millions of people worldwide and also staff on NextLoud is very kind, so this you have to notice that and also there is a very active and kind community worldwide, so we love it too. And finally, developments of NextLoud are very wise, we think, and organized, so this is a very good point. Now let's talk about good practices to contribute to NextLoud through Github, I mean bug reporting, feature requests, poll requests, and I'm not talking about pure technical things, but about human qualities and methods. First contributors, I'm talking about any contributor, must have some human qualities, I mean that a human is always centered in the project, in open source projects and human aspect is very important, so every contributor has to be friendly and team-oriented spirit to work properly with other contributors and to make contribution successful as possible. Then also when you ask something on your or you propose a poll request, always ask yourself if what you want to do is targeting the common benefit. If it only targets your personal wishes, it may not be successful. This is an important question you must ask yourself before creating an issue or creating a poll request. Also be involved by giving a lot of details in each one of your contributions. So as you see with this meme here, when you create an issue and just tell, it doesn't work, don't hope that your issue will be taken in account. Finally, this is very important to follow up and close issues that don't make sense anymore. I mean, if your PR or your issue is targeting a very old major version of NextLoud, for example, NextLoud 18, just go in your issue, your PR, check if the problem still occurs. If yes, add a comment and try to follow up correctly your contribution. And if it doesn't, just close it and it will make things easier for other contributors when they are searching for an issue. This is easier to organize to search inside GitHub. So it's better for NextLoud and better for other people who contribute to NextLoud. So all this is very obvious, but you know, we are all humans and we can forget some of these crucial things about contributing. So we have to note it. Now I will give you some good practices and tips about contributing to NextLoud through TransEffects. So this is a translation platform used by NextLoud for every app of the project and, first, a very important thing. Bad translations can damage the UX, UI, and reputation of NextLoud, even because of a small app, a very small app. So we have to know and to note and remind that wordings are as important as source code, features, and design. When we contribute to translations, we have to be rigorous and impartial. Rigorous, I mean that if we don't know the context in which the wording is used, just don't translate and let other contributors do the job. This is very important because, instead, this will screw up the UI. Also, please check the grammar and spelling. Take the time to do proofreading for each translation you are making. This is crucial also. It seems obvious, but sometimes I see mistakes. It's not often, but take the time to re-read what you're doing in translations. Secondly, we have to be impartial. I mean, natural. We all have personal habits, personal glossary when we are talking. But we have to choose words and sentences, expressions that are used by the biggest part of people and also by the biggest part of apps and NextLoud workspace. So forget your personal habits. Consistency, it's a very important notion. When you have an action in a button or a notion, it must be expressed with the same words, the same sentence, throughout the entire app or throughout the entire NextLoud workspace. I mean, a dummy example. When you have a model that, and you have a closed button, if the tooltip is in one app, close the pop-up and in another app, close the model and in another place, hide the pop-up, it cannot be, it's not consistent and it's not, it's bizarre for users. Another example is in French, we have at least four ways to express email. And I've seen in French translations, these four ways to express email and this is not consistent. We have to choose the one which is most used in our language. So we always have to think about it when we're contributing to translations.  In Transifex, you have priorities in projects. So we have to translate first what is the most urgent because NextLoud needs it for the next release of an app or next major version of NextLoud, which will be released in a few days or weeks. So have a look at priority, this is important. So thank you for listening to me and if you have questions, don't hesitate.


Many people with diabetes have high blood sugar levels in the morning, which is a fact. Indeed, more than half of diabetics suffer from this problem according to a recent study. Hi, I am Dr. Ahmed Ergin, also known as SugarMD, trying to help everyone in the universe with diabetes or pre-diabetes or insulin resistance through this YouTube channel.  Or do you wake up with a much higher blood sugar in the morning compared to the blood sugar you have had before the bedtime? There are a few different hypotheses as to why the glucose rises in the morning. Before we get into that, let's talk about the signs of high blood sugar in the morning quickly. You may experience, for example, nausea, you may feel faint, weakness, thirst, tiredness, and a greater need to urinate right after you wake up. So you better drink some water to rehydrate because dehydration actually makes things worse. Let's review the possible causes. Number one, Don Phenomenon. It is actually possible that waking up with a high blood sugar is a phenomenon. We call that the Don Phenomenon in particular because it happens in the morning. Yes, it may be nothing that you're doing anything wrong. In the early morning, hormones such as the adrenaline, the cortisol, the growth hormone, and glucagon, they are all in the rise. They're all released into the bloodstream right before you wake up or a couple of hours before you wake up. So blood sugars rise as a result of these hormones causing the liver to release its glycogen, which is then converted into glucose. So basically, these hormones do not really get along well with the insulin, and then boom, your blood sugar is up again. You're like, what is going on? Although it is not quite clear why this phenomenon occurs, but it occurs to everyone. And the release of these hormones typically is to provide extra bursts of energy. It is proposed that you wake up with an increased supply of glucose in order to get going in your morning, especially if you're not a breakfast person or even skipping breakfast or you don't have food to eat, whatever it is, your body needs to provide that glucose. Now you know why your blood sugars are high in the morning sometimes, right? It may not be the case for everyone, but in some cases is more severe than the others. So when you're diabetic, that blood sugar rise is just going to be more severe than someone who is not diabetic. When you have diabetes, you're unlikely to come up with that extra insulin that a normal individual does to compensate for that extra glucose coming in. Number two, smoggy effect. So this happens only to a smaller group of diabetics, but are you in that group? Let's find out. Blood sugar levels might actually drop in some of you too low at night when you're sleeping. If a person takes too much insulin or take a sulfonylurea medication like pills such as galapazide or galamoparide or galiburide, let's say a dinner, some people even take it at bedtime. The same hormones like cortisol, the glucagon, the growth hormone, the adrenalin, they're all released when you have a low blood sugar to reverse the low blood sugar. And then the response is sometimes too exaggerated and that results in high blood sugar. For example, your blood sugar may be going down to super low levels before it really bounces way back high by the time you wake up. So you may be wondering why you are having these nightmares or waking up like soaked to wets from too much sweating and stress due to low blood sugars that took place while you were really fighting that low blood sugar at night.  That may be low blood sugar in your sleep and then you're still wondering why your blood sugar is high in the morning. You got your answer. That is Samajee effect. So fix that problem. What is the solution to that? Check your blood sugar at around 3 a.m. and also again at 7 to 8 a.m. and compare them. If there is a steady increase and there is no low blood sugar overnight, then that is more like dawn phenomenon like we discussed earlier. But if your blood sugar is very low such as lower than 70 milligram per deciliter or 3.9 millimole per liter for Canadians or European watchers and then it goes to 170 milligram per deciliter or 9.4 millimole per liter, then you may be dealing with Samajee effect. So if you are having low blood sugar overnight you should adjust your insulin or that soften urea medications after of course discussing with your doctor.

Well write down in the comment section below. The only rule is to be nice and gentle so you don't hurt anybody's feelings including mine. Just kidding. Let's just be nice overall guys. Number three. Another reason for high blood sugars in the morning is eating nighttime snacks. Some people do that because they are fearful of low blood sugar. They just don't want to go low. They're scared. They're on insulin etc. So they are scared so they just want to eat because that is going to prevent the low blood sugar they think. Or they just like to eat.  So heavy carb and heavy fat meals also such as pizza can keep your blood sugar at very high in the levels all night long because those fatty food actually slow the gastric campaigning and as a result you will end up with a prolonged high blood sugars. But if you're going to have a high carb meal not that I recommended but people do it anyways not that they listen to me all the time I would suggest taking mealtime insulin a little extra maybe 20 to 30% more than usual to cover that high carb meal. Let's say you have none of these problems but you still wake up with high blood sugar. Then what? Well it could simply be that your body is not able to make insulin to bring your blood sugar down from last night or you're too insulin resistant. In that case you will need to pay attention to the blood sugar spikes that actually happen after meals. Not everybody checked their blood sugar after meals so if they don't check they will not know. So if your blood sugar is for example 250 milligram per deciliter or 13.9 millimole per liter at the bedtime or after dinner why do you expect that your blood sugar will just come back to normal automatically in the morning? If your body cannot prevent blood sugar spiking to that high level after meals it won't help you to bring it back down either. Either you have to be super physically active and burn it or you just expect to stay high. It is clear that you're eating way too much carb or your body just cannot handle the carbs due to the lack of insulin production or both. So you will either need to cut the carbs or start taking insulin or some insulin sensitizing medications herbs supplements whatever helps if your body is just not able to do that by itself.  If you have physical limitations check out my video where I show how to really work out while even sitting on a chair doable. Number four another commonly overlooked reason is skipping medications.  Well what they do not understand is just because your blood sugar is okay right now that does not mean that your blood sugar will stay normal all night long. Again you have all these hormones coming against you especially right after four o'clock and if you skip the insulin you will have no defense in your body to prevent the blood sugar spikes that can happen overnight due to the factors of these hormones that we discussed in the dawn phenomenon. And the final reason for high blood sugar is not sleeping well. Well sleep deprivation increases the oxidative stress and inflammation in your body which in turn affects the glucose levels. Even just one night of too little sleep can make your body use insulin less efficiently that's called insulin resistance right. So sleep loss causes an increase in the cortisol which in turn raises the glucose levels. Insulin and cortisol levels are significantly influenced by the time a person also sleeps as well. So if you are sleeping from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. it won't be as good of a nighttime sleep compared to someone sleeping from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Remember sleep loss increases inflammatory markers such as TNF alpha other interleukins and they all cause insulin resistance which eventually affects your blood sugar levels. So there you have it five less known causes of high blood sugars in the morning.

Alrighty, so we have another construction update. So it looks like another lift hill piece has finally been shipped. I've actually been sitting here waiting for this second, third, and fourth piece to ship. They're each 60 feet long approximately, and we need about three or four pieces, and we only had one. So it looks like now we only have two pieces left to ship approximately. It could be a little off, but according to the blueprints, it looks like two more just to ship. So that's pretty awesome, and it also looks like the first piece that was ready to ship into the storage site yesterday is in the storage site, sitting next to that support beam that is erected and ready to be installed. It looks like they're doing some work on either the zero G roll or still installing the crane. I'm gonna go with the second option. They're still installing the crane. It's just weird that the crane bits are still right there. So I'll see tomorrow when I fly if they actually attempt to put this track piece in place. But yeah, I couldn't tell what they were doing over by the zero G roll. I'll have a look on Saturday when I go in and get up close shots. But as you can see here, there is a giant crane, a different one than I've ever seen before in there near Timberwolf lifting some stuff into place. And that is where the zero G roll will take place. So you're gonna come into the zero G roll, which then exits like a dive loop. It's the weirdest inversion. They're doing some work there. And as you can see, the yellow crane is being assembled. You can actually see it right there. They're similar to the ones on Caroline's construction site. Very similar, actually. You can tell just by the looks of it. Not much else going on from what I can tell. I did see activity in the Timberwolf forest. So it looks like they're probably starting the footers there. The excavator is not next to Mindbuster, which we saw yesterday. Thus it's probably over there in the Timberwolf forest digging some holes. We saw tree removal happening slowly. I'm assuming that's gonna continue to happen. I don't think we're gonna see the removal of all the trees like we've seen in the animation. Again, we were told at the media event that the animation isn't necessarily fully true when it comes to showing theming. Again, this animation looks like it was made ages ago. There's old attractions in the animation. And we all know the old rumor of our dive coaster supposed to be constructed back in 2016. So it all comes down to whether you believe that rumor or not, but there's definitely evidence to suggest that. So what's interesting is it looks like they're doing a lot of prep work today. So as you can see, there's the lift piece right next to the green A-frame support structure or V-shape. I think it's called an A-frame though. So that'll probably go up tomorrow or the day after, depending on what's going on. It looks like the crane in the background there is doing some either, I don't know what it's doing, but maybe probably building the big giant yellow crane that'll lift that 60 foot long piece into place. As discussed yesterday, this looks like a really steep incline for a lift hill. So that's pretty cool. But yeah, hopefully you guys enjoyed this filler update. I'll be up again tomorrow to see if they start erecting the lift hill. Been waiting a couple of days. I really thought today would be the day, but maybe because of the thunderstorms passing over, they didn't end up doing it. So thanks so much. Have a good one. Bye.


I'm frustrated. I love to see young people passionate about following Jesus. I really do. In fact, that's one of the main goals of daily disciple ministry. But my heart breaks. And let me tell you why. I've become increasingly worried when I look at mainstream Christian culture of young people that are, say, they're on fire for Jesus. And I'm going to say something that may offend you or make you mad, but I want you to hear me out. Just as past generations have had their own difficulties and things and trends that have kind of swayed Christianity in one direction or another, I believe this same generation that we're in today is being pulled in certain directions. And because of that, there's certain distortions to the Christian message that are taking place that I think are very harmful to young people and all people that claim the name of Christianity and of Christ. Because of this, there are some distortions to the Christian message that are readily believed and taught. I'll explain some of these distortions in a second. Now, believe me, I desperately want young people and all people to be excited and passionate about the message of Jesus. I want them to let that message transform the lives that they live. But I want them to be excited about the true gospel, about Jesus' true message, about the true Jesus. With all that being said, I want to get into some of the distortions that I see taking place that might create a certain amount of excitement and passion, but it's temporary. This message that is being permeated within our Christian culture is not one that will lend people to a lifelong time of faithfulness towards God. With all that being said, I want to point out some specific distortions that I've seen and heard that I believe create momentary excitement and passion, but not lifelong faithfulness to Jesus. Now, how I'm going to highlight these distortions is calling it the message of trendy Jesus because I believe that is what it is. It's not the message of true Jesus. It's a message of a distorted perspective of Jesus' teachings in order to conform them to the culture. Now, one of these first distortions is that Jesus came to only preach about loving your neighbor. Jesus' message was all about love, not offending anyone, loving all people, accepting all people. Now, first, I don't want you to get the wrong idea. Did Jesus teach about loving one another as you love yourself as loving God first and loving others second? Of course he did. We can read that clearly in the Bible. And was it a key message that Jesus wanted to get across that we ought to love one another? Of course it was. But what I see, the message of trendy Jesus is taking and excluding the other aspects of what Jesus' message was and focusing in on very specific points of what he taught. Loving one another, a lot of people can get on board with that. And if we simply say, oh, Jesus was just about loving one another, that's very easy. And a lot of people, that's not very confrontational. You don't need to make a decision about that. You can be like, oh, that's great. I love the fact that Jesus was about that. Good for you, Christian. And unbelievers can walk on their way. But the distortion comes in when other parts of Jesus' message are excluded and only some parts are highlighted. Now, I've noticed when this message is taught, there can be a tendency of people when they hear this to work towards striving towards pleasing God through loving because this message of loving one another is not a message of grace that so many perceive it to be. But it's actually a message of law. Now, you think of churches that sway towards more trendy styles, adopting fads, conforming their message to the world.  That's all about grace and it's okay and all this kind of thing. But often it's actually the opposite. Obviously there are those kind of teachings that go along with that style. But a lot of it when they talk about, oh, Jesus' message was to love one another. People see that and they say, oh, I have to love one another. And when they fail, there's great guilt associated with that. It's all about works. If Jesus' message was to love one another, then his main message was a commandment of doing something. You have to do this. Keep doing it. Do it better. And we see that we can't love as Jesus loved. We always fall short. Now, Jesus' message wasn't singularly about loving one another and it wasn't singularly about needing to keep his law. And it wasn't singularly about grace and the fact that you are just completely grace and you can do whatever you want. The law is irrelevant, all this kind of thing. The way Jesus came and he spoke was a masterful way of connecting law and grace. In many of his sermons before his death, he exhorted people to delight in God's law. And these laws would include, yeah, love your neighbor as yourself. Love God but love your neighbor. And these are commandments of law that we ought to pay attention to. But part of these distortions come in is when we forget that Jesus also taught that he was the fulfillment of the law, the fact that we could not keep the law perfectly but that's why Jesus came and to fulfill the good news that Christ came to die for our sins, the fact that we could not love each other and God perfectly. Jesus took that punishment that we deserve for that sin on himself and he died on the cross. And he rose again on the third day and if we repent and trust in Christ we'd be forgiven and given new life, given eternal life and transformed inside out. But these distortions take that wonderful message of the gospel away and box it off and push it to the side and focus on Jesus was just about loving one another and a lot of people have that in their mind and that is bondage because if it's just about law, we'll never perfectly keep the law. You know by saying that Jesus message was primarily about loving your neighbor you are actually in fact taking Jesus out of his own message and as a result you are left with a call to do better, to be better, to love more. Are those bad things? No, but on their own that is bondage and bondage that we cannot break free of because we can never love sufficiently.  You see the real message of Jesus, the true message of Jesus wasn't to love more, to do better, to try harder. It was look at me, look at Jesus because he has lived better. He has loved more. He has lived a perfect life and you can look at that. Yes, you can look at that as an example but understand this, you will never live up to that example and because of that Christ has already taken your punishment on himself by dying on the cross and that is Jesus message. Not that you can do better, live better, become a better person and better yourself in your life and that's the meaning of life. It is that you cannot do that only through Christ can you become a new creation striving towards looking like Christ. And that's why I'm grieved because I see a whole bunch of young people that are excited about a portion of the message of the Gospel about being a better person, about loving people as Christ loved people and I see that as something amazing. I see that as very exciting that people want to love each other better and as Christ loved us. But the problem is when that's the only portion of Jesus message that they hear, they are left with law and ultimately they are left with disappointment of their failure because we cannot love perfectly, we cannot love as Jesus loved. So my frustration and my grief is not that these people are being distorting the message necessarily even though that is an aspect of it but it's more about the results of this distortion that people are left in disappointment and disillusionment towards God because they're missing out on a key aspect of the Gospel the fact that we were not asked to be better people as that wasn't the good news that God's called be a better person it was that Christ was a better person for us and that is where we can find hope. See Jesus true message ought to get you excited and passionate about following him and loving other people. That's not only trendy Jesus's message but that's the real true Jesus message is to love one another. So don't take that and don't hear what I'm saying and all of a sudden say oh I guess I don't need to love anybody because that's law. No we do that out of love for God and for other people not as duty because I heard my pastor say this the other day that love cannot come out of duty. It can never come out of duty. It has to come out of the Holy Spirit. That love that God imparts to us we can impart it to other people and that's something powerful that we ought to be aware of but if you're not shaken towards passion and excitement I would reexamine what you're actually believing about Jesus message and make sure you're not buying into the message of trendy Jesus.

Caught up with James Hooper another inductee to their member's Hall of Fame last night. Well done. How did it feel? Well, I don't mind telling you I was anxious and nervous and trying to figure out how to consolidate all my thoughts into a time period that I felt like I should stay in but it was wonderful. It was a great honor and is a great honor and to be in that room with all those people that had previously received these awards and to be able to even recollect and recall some of the issues and some of the things that we've gone through and how all those people come to you that remembered that and thank you for your time was very heartwarming and is very heartwarming and it's an honor that I will treasure and I appreciate the recognition and I have no regrets for any stir that I may have made in in the process and I just told Bill that he mentioned me standing up or sitting up in the bleachers by myself. Nobody around. I told him that was by design that after serving his president for two years you really don't want to answer a bunch of questions about politics and too if I went back home I'd have all these chores to do so I just get off and watch the cutting but it's um I told him I don't feel like I lost any friends from having been president uh as a matter of fact you won't believe the number of phone calls that I get and and God and and and and saying hey you know you shook the tree that need to be shook and some good things will come from it and um so I um I understand when you you suggest legislation that affects someone's income that um you have you're on a touchy subject and uh they're not going to agree with it but we emphasize so many times in those two years that when you're on the executive committee and or you're an officer that when you walk into that room you have to take that personal hat off and hang it on the wall and you have to put an association hat on and every decision you make and every argument you make should be on behalf of the growth and development of NCHA even if it hurts you uh and we we really emphasize that so I have good feelings and I enjoyed last night it was a wonderful evening and um it's done and I'm not nervous about making speeches anymore but I appreciate you asking me there were a lot of people who have said today they didn't know all those things that you had achieved so it's important to get that recorded and recognized well I appreciate that I uh you know the chatter was read a lot more back then than it is now a lot of people I guess are operating off of the internet and off of their cell phones and um I guess I'm old-fashioned but I kept a scrapbook of uh a bunch of letters to the membership that I put in the chatter back in 94 95 and when I'm when I'm getting sentimental or whatever I'll pull out that scrapbook and I'll read some of those things but uh yeah there's a lot of people do not know uh what happened back then and rewriting the constitution uh that they're now about to rewrite again which is good I mean you know I'm not saying this and I explain to them I'm not I'm not offended by them trying to tweak the the bylaws because there's some things that need tweaking and I I I wish them good luck and but I can tell them when they step on some people's toes they're going they're going to get bad phone calls and they're going to get conversations but no I am I realize that not many people remember 20 years ago well I guess the real takeaway is that sometimes there's some short term pain to get the long term gain and that it's worth it because people looking back now to the changes that you brought in can see the benefits and if they're having to bring in changes now perhaps they can have faith that it'll be in the long term benefit of members well I hope that's the case and and that's I mean you can plan a seed like you say that sometimes doesn't develop a product or plant for several years and I believe that um we we touched on some real touchy subjects back there as far as dominance in the non-pro and talked about putting a cap on the non-pro and those kind of things and but the whole reason for it is why are people exiting this sport why are they leaving after they've won $50,000 and the the issue we got back is because we're now stepped into a classic we can't compete and then you go about you hit your head against the wall about 10 times and you win no check then you've got a decision to make personally and and I think it's the association's responsibility to provide a structured class structure with as much of a level playing field as you can for people to progress and to be able to compete otherwise they won't stay they won't they won't keep competing so yeah I uh I think there was some seed planted back then that that some good things have come from it but I certainly don't take credit for it because I was in a room with 13 other people and we were trying our best to do what's best for NCHA well congratulations again and well deserved thank you thank you very much

a bit cliche, but still a good brew. Hey guys, this is my review for episode six of Supernatural season 12. And admittedly, I have to say the opening montage of this episode was actually really good. It kinda sunk you in and actually got you really into the character of this guy, just like, oh, you know, he grew up to be a great hunter and then all of a sudden, blech, dead. That was very well done and it admittedly had caught me off guard, I didn't expect that. So I thought that was really well done. Also, this show finally acknowledged Canada. Mind you, it's jumped over a few provinces of where the show's actually filmed, but either way, I'm still happy that they finally acknowledged Canada. It made Canadian hunters look a little odd, but admittedly, I appreciate the fact that they finally put the show in where it actually should be, except in the wrong province. This episode, we brought back Jodie Mills. I always love this character. Every time she comes back, we're always able to find new and interesting ways to have her make very funny character jokes. And I always like Jodie. She's always been one of the best characters that has ever been on this show. And every time she comes back, she's always just as good as she was before. Also, I really like the tie-in of bringing the mother back, because I knew that was gonna happen. I do admit, out of all the sort of ideas that they could have done to bring the character back, this was probably one of the best ones. Now, this was actually a pretty cool idea of looking at the hunter lifestyle. Mind you, when they went to this hunter gathering, I kind of wondered if the brothers were gonna get the same reception they did back in season five when, you know, hunters killed them. Either way, it was a cool atmosphere. The only thing that I kind of liked and didn't like was the demon. Now, the demon's concept was actually pretty cool. The idea that they were trapped in this house and they weren't able to get out and that they kind of had to play this guessing game, kind of reminded me of the thing. Or also that episode from season six, where the, or seven, sorry, where there's that weird worm thingy and it got a hold of grandpa and Rufus and Bobby. That was a cool episode. Much reminded me of that. However, the aftermath of the episode, mainly how they defeated the demon, was kind of weak in my opinion, as well as how this thing was able to jump people with, you know, the whole obvious smoke thing wasn't really obvious. So I thought that was a little annoying, how it kept on jumping people and no one noticed. Otherwise, I still did enjoy this episode. I like that the show acknowledges that there's other hunters besides Sam and Dean and I like Billy being in here and giving their mother that offer of going back. Reminded me a lot of that Buffy season where she came back from the dead and she was basically having this kind of inner turmoil with herself that she was in heaven. She was having a good time.   Again, there are some a few issues with this episode, mainly the whole concept of how the demon was able to jump from people, the lack really of a finale and then just how easy it is to kill someone just by pushing them onto a rock. I swear, the amount of times I've seen this happen both in television shows and movies is ridiculous. It almost seems as though people have a Sydney Crosby neck and they just die if they fall on something. For those of you who got that reference, good for you. Anyways, I'm gonna give this episode a five out of seven. I think it was a good time. I enjoyed it. It's a little bit silly with the ending but it was a really good way to bring back the character of the mom and it was a cool idea to show different hunters. If any of these characters come back, I'd be happy to, especially the witches. The witches were cool, witch hunters. That was an interesting idea of being able to show the wards. Anyway guys, that's all from me. I hope you enjoyed this episode. I'll see you guys next time.


Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rossell here. I want to do a very quick video regarding everything there is to know really about external devices using external devices with your Synology NAS. I'm using the Synology DS920 plus NAS here and I connect from time to time a HDD enclosure. So it's a hard drive in an enclosure and you can connect that directly into the USB on the front of the NAS. You can even actually connect a second NAS to the first NAS. And once you do that you're going to get a initializing message and I just to show you how to access the information about it. So when your external device is connected you're going to see a little icon. This is the latest version of DSM I'm running here in the top right and it says external devices and it says it'll say initializing then hopefully will turn to normal and then you have the option here of ejecting the device and that's very important that to preserve the useful length of your hard drives if you're using them for additional storage that you do this every time. I've covered in a previous video where to find out info about the external device, its capacity it's not listed under storage manager you need to go control panel external devices and then you have this. Now I don't actually unfortunately have if I just go back on to external devices here I don't have those smart testing functionalities appeared for a second then they disappear so unfortunately I don't have the ability to do a smart testing SMART which basically kind of probes the health of the device and gives you early indications that it might be failing so that's really important to do. In any event this is a place where you can see and I've mentioned this in a previous video so I'll just say this quickly this is where you can see how much disk is available so you can see I've used here it's a terabyte hard drive in a enclosure and I've used 203 gigs out of the and you know usually you're going to find the usable capacity is going to be a little bit less than the actual advertising capacity so in this case it's a one terabyte hard drive but I can only use 916 gigs out of that and I have it formatted as exd4 so there's a few more things you can do as you can see in settings you're able to change which users on your nas have access to this external device you're also able to eject it from here and the process I would do when I'm finishing moving stuff onto the enclosure here is I'd firstly eject this then I would safely power it down so I wouldn't just like pull out the plug from the wall which would be one way of doing it but that's that's not the way you're supposed to do it so the correct correct way to do things firstly eject then power off. One final thing to do to note about this and I'll end this video here is that you can actually format the device on the nas so for instance I use Linux as my main operating system so I find exd4 the most convenient file system to work with so when I buy a new hard drive for cold storage let's say and it's another discussion if that's the best medium for cold storage but rather than halting the format into exd4 on the computer I can actually just put it into enclosure hook it up to my Synology and I can actually write the format the disk into exd4 without needing to touch the computer and as you see as you can see you can you can either format the entire disk or if you've formatted it already into partitions you can do it into partitions and your options are the options I'm getting anyways that you can format into exd4 if you're just going to be using it in Linux like I have on this one or you can go for a Fat32 and Fat32 can be used on both Windows and Mac and there's some limitations about characters so depending on your preference you can choose to format it directly here I'm not going to do it because that would basically lose all the data I have on this disk but that's pretty much everything I've sort of figured out so far about using external drives and these it doesn't matter if it goes into a USB and it's compatible with the Synology it can work it could be one of those plugin external hard drive or STDs it can be an enclosure as I'm using etc it'll recognize and then it'll automatically create a file folder and you can move stuff directly from your local files on the Synology onto it by simply cutting and pasting or dragging and dropping so it's incredibly useful and you can even copy from non-DSM Windows just drag and drop into the folder for the external hard drive on DSM hope that video was useful if you want to get more videos from me please subscribe to this YouTube channel
