All right, so earlier today, I was in my community jacuzzi and I was thinking to myself Why do women why do men get such a bad rap from women because I'm you know, the complex I live at there's some really great guys that live there and I Understand why a significant percentage of women look at men and say, you know, they're Emotionally constipated there. I mean I hear the narcissist comments over and over again And men only want sex and yet as I was sharing with you I'm at my complex where I live and there's some really great guys who are in relationship I was talking to a relatively young couple. I think they were in their late 30s and um, they've been living together for a year and I I'm kind of blessed as a dating a relationship coach. I get the benefit of once I share what I do I get to ask a lot of questions What was interesting about this particular man when I asked the His girlfriend she goes He's more of the emotional one in the relationship. So I feel like men, you know, well, I listen I get the frustration many of you are feeling I get the frustration that You've experienced like what I said emotionally unavailable men emotionally avoidant men emotionally Uh stifled men emotionally constipated men like I said before and certainly are Dating marketplace these days lends itself to an opportunity for a lot of men to get sex Without basically much of an investment Literally without much of a commitment at all And I mean while some people will blame women for that because they make it relatively easy for the men and I yet I think there's something deeper that we have to look into so When I was contemplating the idea of the guys the men who'll commit the men who will won't I think it's really important to understand one of the Fundamentals to a healthy happy relationship and I posted a meme this morning that I wanted to share with you It's in the community page, but I wanted to share this with everybody because I think it really illustrates something missing in most relationships today And in fact my my comment on the mean says the reason why I the reason I have a job Because most humans don't get the following and the meme is about ways to build emotional intimacy I'm going to repeat that ways to build those emotional intimacy. So here's the meme Hopefully you can see it Okay, do meaningful activities together Uh, it's a little bit hard to read guys. I'm just going to read it for you because it's the focus is going in and out So do meaningful activities together Be intentional about having conversations Awful thoughtful gestures to one another Provide emotional support Share thoughts and feelings Practice non-judgment listening Listen, this is what I want to repeat because whether you're man or woman I see this habitually is a problem for a lot of people and that's practicing non-judgment listening Apologize when you're wrong Be curious Validate their experiences Face conflict with empathy and openness Offer non-physical compliments Practice vulnerability Try something new together Be honest and assertive and give space So, you know as I read that I thought to myself, you know When I was growing up as a single man, you know, when I was, excuse me, when I was an adult Um, basically listen, I followed programming growing up I was told to go to college get a job Meet a girl get married buy a house start a family.  Nobody teaches this at school. Nope. Our parents don't teach this to us Whether you're a man or woman, very few human beings really know how Let's put that on the screen again ways to build emotional intimacy And so is it any wonder that we are in a dysfunctional dating marketplace You know ladies, I know just because you have a capacity to vomit your feelings doesn't mean you're any better at this than men And so it takes a level of schooling to get passes. So coming back to the guys in the jacuzzi You know, I'm not sure many of these men know this but what I what I witnessed is There are really a lot of good men out there. There are a lot of good men out there They might be rather clueless They might even be winging it But there are good men and yet so many women give men a bad rap just like listen men do the same thing for women I hear habitual complaining from men about women You know, especially in the area of hypergamy about the red pill all this stuff So it's no wonder. It's a dysfunctional place to meet these days The marketplace We're you know, we have this online system of meeting people. That's not how it was for 200,000 Listen, I want you to go back 50 years and then 200,000 to the andre falls. Okay Basically, you made it in your tribe. You made it in your village. You made it in your town You made it at work. You made it at school What I meant to say is you made it with people that you knew and when I say made it I'm talking about You know sexually mating and emotionally mating and you're bonding together And that's changed in the last 50 years. I mean significantly changed the last 50 years And most of us have not been able to adapt to it So it's rather frustrating for many of us Now I want to lean into Because I just shared the emotional intimacy piece because I think it's really important to understand That we have an emotional health crisis Here in the united states and I suspect around the world We have an emotional health crisis for both men and women. They are stifled on an emotional level And like I said, just because women can vomit their feelings doesn't necessarily mean that they're any more Emotionally stable than men. This is why I continually recommend everybody reading two books Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller and getting the love you want so you can understand the unhealthy behaviors That is happening in our current dating marketplace because if you don't understand human behavior And if you can't vet for emotional maturity one of my areas expertise as a coach is to help you Learn how to ask the right questions based on your personality By the way, you can see right there in the screen Jonathan asley.com coaching if you want to schedule a discovery call with me Go to my website Click on that so you can learn if you want to find out how to do this Schedule a call with me because listen. We don't have time. Listen for those of at midlife We don't have time to waste on the wrong people And I got to tell you do you want to go out with a hundred men? And have the same experience over and over and over again Would you rather narrow that down to five or three people who are really compatible with you? Because our current dating system is all based on attraction And chemistry without much contemplation on shared values blendable lifestyles and emotional maturity And most of you know my relationship iceberg. I lean into this I also talk about the importance of waiting to have sex to determine if you're on the same page with one another And we'll get into that in a little bit So which are the men that are capable of commitment and which are the ones aren't Number one the men who are capable of commitment need the following. They need the ground underneath them solid So if they're going through a contentious divorce If they have a contentious ex-spouse if they've got problematic children, that's difficult for them to navigate Um, they've got work issues. They've got health issues for those at midlife We have a significant we have an aging population where health is an important factor in the mating process I always hear women say I don't want to be a nurse and I don't want to be a purse Well, these are important factors that if the ground underneath a person isn't solid It's going to be difficult for them to commit in addition If they've come off of a significant relationship recently without any healing It's going to be difficult for them to lean into a relationship because oftentimes So I want to really quickly tell you something In the jacuzzi today, uh, is a marriage and family therapist a guy And we were just chit chatting and I told him dating is the new form of therapy and he goes He did a double take. What'd you say? I said dating is the new form of therapy. He goes, please explain I said what's happening today is people Get on the phone. They're you know, they're doing online dating. They meet online with people They get on the phone and they oftentimes vomit their problems to the person that they're talking to and they're both doing it to each other And what's this become is the dating practice is a way Many people are are utilizing the dating practice as a way to heal themselves or Not on a conscious level on a subconscious level. They they okay. They're not actually healing themselves They're really vomiting complaining venting Just getting it off their chest and I think a lot of men are doing this Instead of going to therapy instead of going to places where they can actually heal themselves So I say he says you have a book you need to write a book about this because I'm like, no, I'm not a therapist I don't I don't know how to lean into this.  They just got off a relationship. They're looking for someone to heal them. I see this with men I see this with women as well. This is this isn't singular to men. This is true for women as well So what else is going to ship? Well, I think it's important to recognize the blocks to love some of the blocks to love And I'm going to share that with you Like I shared before wounds childhood wounds and traumas And by the way, if you're not familiar with the book the Hoffman process This is a great book to lean into healing childhood wounds and traumas and adult traumas that cause Negative patterns and limiting beliefs in one's life. I just talked about the luggage people have in their lives But most importantly men that lack direction Remember I said those men that are winging it They say I'm just looking for something casual. I don't know what I want I don't want anything serious if you have no direction. How can you lean into a relationship? What about misalignment when two people are misaligned on their values? They're misaligned on their lifestyles That's going to make it very problematic to commit But most importantly What's going to shift this narrative? I think it's really important for you to understand That the men who want commitment Declare it upfront. These guys I was talking in the jacuzzi. They all declare it upfront. They wanted commitment with somebody So I was really happy to hear that and they we were talking about the importance of building trust in a relationship And I was really happy to hear this and so how are you going to tell between the ones who will commit and the ones who won't? I think it's time to understand two facets and that is Asking being radically honest in the early stage of dating really just laying your cards On the table just laying your cards on the table And I think it's important to understand the four pillars of connection So let me share this with everybody the four pillars of connexion and it says mind body spirit and emotions Mind body spirit and emotions Men tend to live in the upper category the mind and the body and women tend to live in the lower category of spirit and emotions This is why I encourage women to be the emotional leaders of the relationship You are in charge of your relationship destiny not the men This is why I continually recommend everybody reading the book emotional intimacy by robert master So you can understand the complexities to emotional intimacy So you can understand the complexities to the ways remember coming back to this meme of building Emotional intimacy with one another because guys don't know this ladies.  I'm there right there This is a puppy pile of my group of friends. I call it my spiritual community These are goddesses who all have helped me in my this is my circle of friends my community They've all helped me open my heart up to love in a way. I didn't experience because they demonstrated it through a Through invitation, but from a sense of strength I love these women because they literally embody what's in this book why men love bitches Why men love bitches and bitch stands for babe in total control of herself.  By the way, there's a link to all the books I recommend in the description of this video under jonathan recommends books So Understanding that you are the drivers of the emotional components of the relationship But Jonathan, I'm just told to lean back on my feminine energy and let the man claim me Listen, you can lean back in your feminine, but if you're not taking action It's going to require some real radical action. It's going to require some radical honesty folks When I I often said Women are the this is not my quote But there's women are the gatekeepers the sex and men are the gatekeepers the commitment If you want to get a man to commit then you should utilize my dating vows My dating vows and that is listen folks whether we like it or not sex I don't want to say this but i'm going to say it's it's not a commodity, but it's a bargaining tool And since men do have a propensity of wanting sex it used to be if a man wanted to get laid he had to get married Now I invite you to do the dating vows and it's already in the description below Before having sex you agree to explore the process of getting to know one another with the intent to declare something serious Within the next three to six months You agree to be monogamous sexually while you're having regular sex with one another You agree not to actively seek and meet and date others while you're in the process of getting to know one another includes taking down your dating profiles You agree to speak up if this isn't working for you versus pulling back ghosting or disappearing And lastly you agree to invest regular time in the process to get to know one another That's how you know the guy's ready to commit because if he agrees to this and you're on the same page. Whoo Now sadly probably 90% of men won't agree to this But you don't care You want the man who does agree to this so these are the conversations you might want to start considering Having sooner rather than later instead of just leaning back and just hoping that all of your femininity is just going to do the job folks Sitting back in your femininity isn't going to claim a man. It's it'll claim is You'll claim is penis But you won't claim his heart until you actually start building intimacy together and given the fact that we're meeting total strangers these days I highly recommend reading this book by Malcolm Gladwell talking to strangers What you should know about the people you don't know we are meeting total strangers these days If you're not doing your job vetting as I teach in my coaching program You're probably setting yourself up for disappointment and I don't want you to have that disappointment So how do you differentiate between the guys they're ready to commit and the ones that won't Listen, don't give men a bad rap Just understand that human beings are dysfunctional whether we like it or not We are rather dysfunctional.  Does the ground underneath them seem solid? Do they want commitment? I mean, do they want to fully commit a relationship and would they agree to the vows? That's how you're going to determine the ones who are and the verses the ones are not Is this sinking in is this resonating with you?

What the heck a self-love anyway a journey of personal development self-help and spiritual work Link below self love the book All right, we're going to take questions now It's my favorite part of the live stream So if you have a question for me write the word question Post the question there after or you can purchase a super sticker super chat All the monies from the super sticker super chat goes to a scholarship fund in the name of my son connor asley That's a picture of him right there. That's him right there. This is one of my favorite pictures of the boys He's my son who passed away Gosh in two weeks. It's going to be four years So in his honor, I've started a scholarship fund in his name and um and so use the dollar sign in the box or purchase a super thanks or Then mo me wherever you like to support. Uh, I really would appreciate it All right. I so we have a super sticker already here. So let's take a look at julia Julia s And thank you for the ten dollars. I appreciate it. Do people have to discuss monogamy first If it is assumed it's a monogamous relationship, but never discuss is it still cheating?   How do you operate? Now you could have somebody lie to you Certainly the possibility they could lie to you but men tend to be most men Actually are good guys They're just dysfunctional doesn't make them bad people. They're just dysfunctional I say this because I was radically dysfunctional for a long period of time after my divorce So most men are good guys. They're just dysfunctional so I think by asking that question you nine out of ten times most guys will be honest with you And most guys would say that they would be and what happens then is If they if they it puts a check mark in their mind. Oh shoot. I just agreed a monogamy with this person I'm a monogamous. So I better not sleep with her because I'm only really in it for the short run So I mean that could happen I'm a big proponent of discussing the dating vows again It's in the description the dating vows to get a sense of where his head is at That would be my invitation for you Julia. Is this is this helping? Please let me know and coming back to your question to people I think you have to discuss monogamy have to It's you cannot listen.    You are more than titled to do that I'm not here to judge that I'm talking to the women who have felt hurt over and over and over again Because what's the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result And I'm just leaning into that conversation. So for those of you complain about my my content You're not my audience.  Is that what you want? Let me know All right Let's keep swimming G wartman says julia I think monogamy needs to be discussed if it's not discussed Then a man will think it's okay to mount other women while he's writing you and the second date means basically nothing Good point. Thank you so much Thanks g uh Katrina says these days do do these strangers have candy That's kind of funny All right Here we go question question question question. Here we go Oh, we got quite a few so let me go here. Nicole question Should I trust a man? Wait, should I trust a man is emotionally mature enough when he says he's afraid of making a mistake or letting me down Once I get to know him You could by the way if a man says that go great. You don't get my vagina until you know what you want That's simply it. You don't get my vagina until you know what I want You don't get my time. You don't get my energy.  Yes, would never accept that kind would never continue dating a guy who says that go You know what go practice on on the low hanging fruit. I'm too much of a sovereign woman to accept that kind of rhetoric That's just my opinion on that Thank you, Nicole. I appreciate that question Scorpio says scorpio moon Question recently got dumped by a man who initially told me he was seeking marriage His reason after five months of dating was he only felt friendship with me not love not not wanting marriage So This is a tough one I was speaking to one of connor's friends who's in his mid 20s Who okay, those, you know, my son connor passed away and he was seeking my advice on something He'd been dating a woman for about five or six months someone he really liked Um, she was perfect. I mean she was uh getting her master's degree. She was very attractive Good family. I mean, I'll checked all the boxes But after about three months into the relationship, he said to me I'm just not feeling it. I'm just not feeling it And I go, yeah, I get it and he's like I go give it a little more time and And and by the way, they weren't sexual with one another. He they um, she was a virgin So he she wasn't you know connor's friend wasn't sexual with her. He was being a very much a gentleman Wasn't forcing it. I mean they did fool around a bit But after about the fourth or fifth month, he comes to me and says i'm just not feeling this love And you know, he he ended the relationship. I mean he's in 26 He wasn't in his 40s or 50s like most of my audience and I think to myself You know, and then I called him this happened months ago And I called him up recently because I told him about my new relationship and I said You know this feeling this euphoric feeling of love is an intangible You can't put your finger on it. It's like you could be they could check all the boxes and ladies You've met men that have checked all the boxes and it's not chemistry. There's um, there's an energetic connection When you meet someone that really touches your heart. It's beyond lust or limerence I shot a video on this Uh a couple days ago about um when it's right for a man He feels calm Because that's what i'm experiencing. I'm experiencing this level a unique level of calm Although i'm going through a lot of alliterations of stuff. There's an adjustment period going on right now I'm noticing it's hard to withdraw from the dating apps I mean believe me when you are practically addicted to the swiping. It's like going cold turkey It's like i'm feeling this this withdrawal I mean, I know cognitively. Why would I want to go on the app? But I mean it's just such a habit to swipe swipe swipe swipe swipe So I do believe there's a detox period that people go through but i'm going off subject here, but I was telling them Look, you can't predict love. It's just an intangible. So coming back to your question I don't think this man did anything wrong It's just a reality as we can't predict Genuine love it takes time for some people they feel it early for some time for some people that builds over time So great question scorpio moon. Thank you so much Question Thank you for all you do by the way. Thank you. I appreciate that nicky What factors causes a woman to attract an unavailable man? Ie emotionally unavailable married, etc. What vibe she may be putting out So it's not about the vibe. She's putting out. It's about her unhealed traumas Most by the way, you have to read the book getting the love you want by harville hendrix and the helen hunt Okay, just strip link below for all the books. I recommend this helps you understand the amago the imaging we follow Patternsing it's oftentimes it's a it's a reflection of one or both of your parents who are unavailable And you might have even thought you grew up an idyllic home and still Experience something where we're healing our childhood traumas. And so it's not a vibe you're putting out It's an unhealthy place within yourself that needs healing and when you heal it You no longer attract it. So the vibe is your unhealed wound. This is why again I recommend reading the hofman process to really do a deep dive into healing stuff and so I'm sorry. It's it takes monumental work folks.  I've been and the last five years has been a deep dive. It's it takes time to heal your stuff so Get busy living or get busy healing That's my invitation. Get busy Get busy dying or get busy healing. I'm sorry. I was thinking get busy living get busy dying Get busy dying get busy healing get busy healing or get busy dying By the way, if anyone can guess the movie I'm talking about I'd like to hear that comment Nikki, I hope that helps but you asked a great question Thank you so much um Scorpio, where did I go wrong? We waited three months to have sex again. It's it's an intangible Sometimes men think that the sex men believe sex will lead to love. Okay men believe sex will lead to love and The reality is is Sometimes even when you've had sexual experience with someone we don't feel it. I you didn't do anything wrong So I invite you to ask three questions. Okay, scorpio moon What positive things did you learn about yourself in this relationship? What positive things did you learn about yourself in this relationship? What was good about this relationship? And what are you most grateful for I invite you to write that in the comments I want to share that with everybody what positive things you learned about yourself in this relationship What was good and what are you most grateful for by the way can folks? Can you tell me why? Those are three powerful questions to ask yourself because if you want to heal You can focus on what's wrong. You can be a victim. I'm a victim. I'm a victim. I'm a victim Or you can be a victor A victor is a person A babe in total control of herself. She's a victor. This woman lives in victor consciousness not victim consciousness All right, great question. Thank or great follow-up. Thank you so much whoo Do you think someone who that has dealt with domestic violence can change their behavior? You know, I'm not schooled enough to know but I believe everybody has a capacity to heal If they have enough love in their life, I think I don't mean you loving them I just mean everybody has a capacity to heal Heroic work requires healing, but I do believe everybody has that capacity And my way heroic work means it could be take 20 30 years I don't know it's taken me 15 years to get to the place. I'm at right now. So It takes work. That's so I do believe it's possible Highly unlikely but possible. Thank you so much Katerina Jade says question does dysfunctional mean lying with a straight face. I'm not like that when speaking about sleeping with other women um Yeah, I would say Dysfunctional is usually a reflection of childhood wounds and traumas and adult traumas that cause negative patterns and limiting beliefs in their life So, yes, that is a function of dysfunctionality By the way, my coffee mug says I make the girl world go around.

We probably have spent 50 60 hours on face time as well And our face time conversations are really dip rich and deep in in Well, okay, so I have a confession to make so she calls me complicated Because I like to unpack everything And I am by the way amongst my friends I am constantly unpacking stuff so I can be a bit exhausting But she also says it's one of aspects of my personality that she likes So I like unpacking all the little nooks and crannies of our relationship I wouldn't do this if I didn't think there was real potential I wouldn't invest emotional intimacy with a person Because look at getting laid is easy ladies. You make it so easy for men to get laid that it I mean, it's the um, I'm sorry to say the three-day rule.  It's like And I could be delusional.

Thank you so much Kimberly asks what obstacles do you see in your relationship right now new relation besides the long distance? Well long distance is problematic. I'll be candid with you. I am not I am not designed listen I'm on the phone all day long and I do love talking with her. It's great, but I don't feel like I can bond over the telephone. I need that physicality. I want to do things I want to go on trips with her. I want to by the way, we're planning a trip for my big birthday coming up Um, so I'll be off the grid in august Um, we're going to go to mexico. I'm really excited about that But I need to be in physical presence. I don't bond over the phone I mean we build some familiarity and we keep the we keep the the umbilical cord going But I don't like this time apart that and I could I could see myself doing something stupid Like I know I won't do that But probably trying too hard probably could be one of my you know, I think trying too hard could be something Um Feeling a level of frustration. I'm not a big fan of long distance. Thankfully, you know We're even having conversations of what this would look like in a few months if she was here I think if you don't have a plan of how to take two people to one city It's going to be very problematic and thankfully she's you know, we are having really good dialogue about this um But for right now, I don't see any red flags in her. She's an amazing human being And I just think kind of what I was sharing earlier Connection isn't intangible. It's just you can't predict who you're going to have it with You can't I have met some amazing beautiful women who checked all the boxes But I didn't have connection So Uh kimberley, I hope that helps answer your question.

We're going on a vacation together just to chill And you know what else I like about her she you know, it's funny So we've talked about our strengths and weaknesses and I have a capacity to really collapse in crisis I'll be candid with you.  I'll be candid with you I'm a little bit hyper sensitive to to complications And she rises in complications Anyways long story short. We solved the problem But then I go into action. This is where my strength comes in I wrote a letter to the president of the credit card company and I wrote an email I got the guy's email address. I wrote him an email On friday afternoon He emailed me back sunday morning and with a half hour I had a senior vice president from the company call me to help solve the problem that I had I was like You know what like so I may not have this strength.  I'm just a I just sometimes have weaknesses in other areas And what's beautiful about this is we can talk about and unpack it and she doesn't I'm grateful that she doesn't see me as less of a man We all have strengths and weaknesses Why not find out what your strengths and weaknesses are rather than being judgmental Coming back to the meme judging, you know while listening and just appreciating your strengths and weaknesses That's what partnership is about and I'm grateful. I'm experiencing that with her All right. Thanks for letting me ramble there um Jennifer says I used to be bad with crisis and yoga and meditation helped me deal with this stuff And I'm so much more calm, you know, the problem is is my father Coming back to the amago in this book Okay My father would absolutely lose it when there was crisis My mother was the stoic one in that point And yet my father was a commander of a 600 foot destroyer in world war two So he had his strengths. He had his weaknesses and my mother and father There's there's a there's a picture of them when they're in their 20s They had a they had they had this dance of mutual exchange for one another and Finding your strengths and weaknesses is a critical component to a healthy happy relationship And when you find those out you have a greater chance of success in your relationship.  Good night. It's still alone. It's friends with benefits contract or no contract That's one way of looking at it.  Well said Uh question. Sarah says How do you help someone that seems to be fully committed to you but seems to have general Seems to have a general concept of what marriage is and is and is against it because he says that it's superficial What do you say to a guy like that?

You guys, are you willing to fight for your people's future? Yes. This is the big one.  Okay, when I just told that guy, it was the absolute truth. The reason why our company is scaling and growing is because we believe in something called the truth. The reason why our company has scaled and grown faster than anyone else in the world. Right inside our company. You guys got close to that scenario. They got a time share. Remember the number one rule of selling. When the client knows that you care more about them and they care about themselves, they'll make a decision with you. And not until then. Dedication, hard work, prayers, and belief. That's what we bring here at the Elliott Group. A lot of people think that the workload is difficult because it's boxes, but those cameras are heavy, dude. As you should see, if you could flip this camera around and actually see the gun show that's behind the lens. Whoo! Sheesh! We'll see you guys don't even spend any money. Oh, I need my content, need my content, need my content. You don't spend money on all the bullshit, all the cars, the shoes, the watches. You won't spend money on the camera. You won't spend money on social media. You keep posting that you're not going to upgrade your game. You're wondering why your business isn't exploding.  Your effort is low level. That's why your results are at a low level. That's why you're not getting high level results. There's no high level connection. There's no high level content.  There's no high level money in the air. You know what I'm saying?  All right guys, before you close a big deal like I just did, we bring the bell around. You got to put yourself in state, right? So I got three power moves. Yes, puts you in state. So what does Michael Jordan do every time he makes a basket? Yes!  First off, I am a goof. Secondly, it puts you in state. So I'll do the Carmen McGregor Y. Yes! Just feeling yourself in it. Renaldo, baby. Yes! Put yourself in state. Let's go! That's a multi-mode. The D, operational mode. Operational mode. You can write that down if you want. Your operational mode is who you are right now.  That's your operational mode. That's your standard. The LA group requires something like this, which is called scale. And then the LA group is also aware of upper limits. Upper limits? Upper limits are pressure and stress you're applying to yourself above your operational mode that you need to quit. What happens if you start pushing towards an upper limit, you tell yourself this vision, you do it for a period of time, you hit that upper limit and then you stop doing it. Subconsciously, the big boy starts calling you out, right? Have you ever been through that? I've been through that.  That's real.  I don't get it. No dude, get up an hour earlier. Read, run, work out, change your diet. Don't party. Push through these upper limits as a team and as a company because we've got you back for lives. It's Freaky Friday. Let's go war. Freaky Friday. What are you doing? Because I demand it. I demand it. Why? How are you going to win? Because I have no choice. They have no choice. Jacob. What are you doing? We demand it. Freaky. Huh. Melanie. What? What's the question? Why are we going to win? Mander. Freaky Friday, 9 a.m., be there, be square. If you need the link, DM Sean, DM me, DM your coach. It's going to be crazy. We're bringing the heat, baby. We got some special treats for you guys. Come on. I love it when people actually study and train and take action. I love getting texts from people saying, hey Ryan, I just closed this deal because I used this technique or you know that call you did on Friday gave me a little confidence. You know this drill. Get yourself a pen and a piece of paper for the love of God. If you are not writing things down, I'm going to fly out to wherever you're at and I'm going to put you in a freaking headlock and my biceps are growing like crazy. I'm on a 16-week program that we're doing a lot of research if you know what I mean. We're going to put on some science. So how was we trying to get the elderly group together?   He said he had it looked up. No, dude, it was Jesse's idea. Like half people backed out and Maria and Bryson overslept. Jesse's not picking up his phone.  What's going on, bro? So it's little eight, two, four, six, seven. We got like seven of us right now, but Maria and Bryson are on the way. Don't get stopped in the same place and try to stay out of the middle because the idea is you're not shooting up and down, you're shooting like this. Like one team's right, shooting left, one team's left, shooting right. That's basically what we got going on. We got our elite tactical team coordinator giving us a rundown of the play. How many people don't listen to the play of what they're supposed to run from their reader? Listen, the reason why we're going to be dangerous in this game is because we got one mission.  We're going to screw these guys up. Woo! Just like in sales, baby. Our goal is to get up to that next house over there. So, like, let's get up to here, and then let's get up to that house in the middle of the field and draw the middle of the line. Let's go, baby. Ellie and my- Army! Let's go. To flank out. Me and Tommy will stick right and just hold and let's stay relatively, like, tight until we know where everyone's at. On that mission, I'm going to tell you, we've got a good old leader and Jonathan Roberts out here. We had a good game plan going into the deal. Woo! And we just straight kabossed them. We didn't lose one guy. They had to respond two separate times each player, so we killed them eight times. Let's go. Hey, that's basically like winning a football game, 58-0. They've got Jonathan. It's a little elbow action. Right here. Right here. Right here. Right here. My legs. Taking them like Scarface, baby. Hold up. Listen, I've been hit one time. I'm just telling you. Other than Danny Klein, I was on his team and he shot me three times in the face.   It's from that deal in 2019 that he tried to split. So I'm feeling that. Yeah.  Wow. That's real jailed. That's for that deal, dude. Hey, me and Ian were so pissed, bro. It was like a $1,000 ticket, bro. We used to not have like any big deals.    Danny wouldn't have done that unless his content team was here because, you know, Danny's all about the content. See, what happened is Danny needs cameras on him. Whatever you can do. Danny needs cameras on him because, like, there's no cameras. And so we just destroyed him. But he put three cameras and he's doing backflips, jumping over things.    He probably jumped up on the barrel and went like this, too.  I was like, I feel him. I peaked in slow-mo. I was like, I completely feel him though.

I was 20 years old by the time I'm 23 I was a millionaire. That's only because the market completely blew up and prices doubled on a couple years It wasn't because I did anything special or had any magic key or was doing anything crazy It was just because literally the market just surged so high so quickly and I just got in the the beginning stages that wave and just wrote it up and Felt very blessed felt very lucky You know, I was working really hard and I was being honest and I was trying to really make it happen But being 23 and becoming a millionaire you make a lot of bad decisions, especially if you've never had money Your family's never had money. So I didn't really know what to do So the golden rule for me growing up and my my my parents always told me, you know real estate is the golden rule I mean, that's what you do when you have money you buy real estate So I started buying real estate I was I was borrowing a lot of money to buy this real estate and I was flipping properties. I wasn't buying and holding I was buying the real estate to flip and that was the problem I was I had no long-term plan in mind for my investing. It was all short-term investing It was short-term investing and I was borrowing a lot of money to do it So I was over leveraging myself short-term bad idea Terribly bad idea. So That's literally there's two things that took me down with the market crashed It was the debt that I had in place with the properties I was trying to flip and as the market turned and went down I got caught with properties that I couldn't turn around and sell even for what I had the money I owed on them much less get back the money I put down or make any kind of profit. So That was a world tough, you know situation there had a lesson properties go So, you know, I lost those but then on the tail end After I lost everything the tail end was is that I couldn't sell properties as a real estate agent to make commissions to make a living okay, so When the the what I realized there was what I always say and I look back and realize that it was all about the deal Up to that point. I had to find out what the true meaning of all this was and it was that I realized that it's Relationships over the transactions, you know and everything to me was transactional I was just trying to get people to do deals and close deals and sign listings and me make money and When I started to focus on the people and the relationships my entire life changed everything started to go up from there, so It took me having to lose everything Read a hundred books studying the market to realize this and then it took me years and years and years of Implementing this to get back on track of where I really wanted to be So everything was a slow process for sure Nothing happened overnight even when I realized everything and I thought that I really had it I still had so much work. I had to put in to get there and I feel like I'm just beginning really I feel like I have so much further to go so much more to learn So I'm always learning. I'm always adapting. I'm always Testing things out trying to figure out what works and what doesn't work and the market in the world is always changing So we've got to adapt with it, but I wanted to make this video about The pros and cons of being a real estate agent and that is this in the beginning of your career If you find a lot of success really quickly, that could be a good and bad thing The bad thing is is that you could get over confident and think that you know you know it all and you could get caught All right, you could get caught a bad way You know the the experience and longevity of the business Comes from experience With all the different kinds of markets that you're going to get hit with over a couple decades of being a real estate agent You know, um We have had one huge crash in my career. I Had a small mini recession in 2010 when the BP will spill hit us And that's why I realized what I learned in the big crash really works and I can make it through any market That's when I moved to remax and said sky's the limit. I'm fixing to just be number one and crush everything but At the end of the day I want you guys to stay grounded and stay humble and and you know, if you find a lot of success quick Don't get in over your head Continue pushing continue trying to learn continue getting those real life experiences under your belt and You know, just continue getting better. You know, I want you guys to get 1% better every day That's 365% better than a year and I love that. That's really the story of my life I'm always just trying to get 1% better every single day. So You can lose it all tomorrow and I know that I know that everything I have now I could literally lose it all tomorrow and I'm okay with that Because that's not what makes me happy. What I have does not make me happy. What I know makes me happy What I've experienced You know where I am with with my skill level of learning how to adapt learning how to communicate with people So on and so forth. That's what makes me happy that I know that I could start from scratch right now and build it all back tomorrow, okay, so Just I just want you to get out of this video that You know, always stay humble always stay grounded always stay grinding always stay learning Don't ever think that you're too good To do certain things. I still show every property. I still go to every listing appointment every inspection every closing I still do all those things because I know that I'm not too good to do those things, right? So Just keep the grind going keep hustling keep pushing and keep fighting. I got your back Let me know what I could do for you. We'll talk to you soon


Hello and welcome back to yet another GCSE revision lesson now. This video is actually highly requested Lots of you want to put out a poll basically asking What part of English language for one would you like me to look at over a thousand of you voted and basically said Barbara miss? Please answer question number two for the language exam Okay, the language for one exam question two is the language question lots of you still find this question quite Mistifying so I want to show you guys is actually this question once you figure out what the exam is looking for It's actually quite easy and straightforward now remember in terms of timings for the exam This question is worth eight marks Therefore try to aim to write at least two pill paragraphs within ten minutes. That's around five minutes per paragraph Now in terms of firstly what the examiners are looking for this question tests your AO to what that simply means is They test your awareness of subject terminology when it comes to talking about language Are you able to show that you understand? Iteration sibilance simile onomatopoeia pathetic fallacy semantic fields Are you able to identify that in the extract and then write about it and show how it describes? Whatever you're asked to describe within the extract that you're given that's the first element of this question Of course, there's also another somewhat troublesome bullet point within the question You always ask to comment on sentence forms Sentence forms is technically structure. However, you do need to talk about how sentences are used in this question I would say the easiest way to make sure you're also answering that bullet point writes in addition to talking about language How you answer the sentence form point is for one of your pill paragraphs talk about how the writers say uses a simile in The declarative sentence to convey whatever you're asked to talk about declarative sentence is the easiest sentence type to talk About it simply means a sentence that states a fact feeling or mood when I'm speaking I'm speaking in a range of declarative sentences anything that you read is written in a range of declarative sentences So that's an easy win now given that you guys obviously want to see a model response What I decided was to answer question number two in the November 2019 paper Don't get however too fixated on the paper itself Look more at the model answer, which I'm going to walk you guys through and look at how I lay out my paragraphs How are we even language analysis and how I answer keywords in the question? That's the skill that you need to be taking into the exam And of course when it comes to actually applying this skill Make sure you are super super clear on the different language techniques If you can't remember these language techniques make sure you refer to the video Well, literally outline language techniques structure techniques in five minutes watch that video and you'll be super sharp and clear on language So let's get let's dive into how to answer question number two of this particular paper So let's look at how to answer question number two now this question of course the extract I'm going to be referring to is the extract that came up in the November 2019 paper I've already pre-prepared this response So I'm not going to read through the extract however Just bear in mind that this is the extract where you have Zoe as well as her husband They're skiing and initially it starts off being quite silent. She's really enjoying the landscape Taking in the scenery however as the passage progresses She ignores the warning signs that there might be an avalanche for instance here We learned that she feels a slab of snow slip from underneath her She totally ignores that and it takes her husband at the end rushing to her and telling her to get to the side That's when she realizes that she is in massive danger with her husband However, this is too late because they are completely plunged into the snow Okay, and it ends with silence, but the silence is now really ominous now with question number two You don't have to look at the entire extract. Okay question number two the great thing about this question is You tend to have the extract that's given to you So of course after you've read the entire extract and you've kind of absorbed what's going on You then simply just use the information that's presented right here in front of you as this question is worth eight marks I would suggest trying to go for at least two pill paragraphs pill meaning point evidence explanation link and Of course this question requires you to talk about language techniques in this case How does the writer use language to describe Zoe's feelings? So you're thinking about what language devices does the writer use to convey Zoe's feelings? And of course as I mentioned you need to make sure in one of your pill paragraphs You simply make clear reference to sentence forms and sentence types to be honest your default should just be how they use Whichever language technique in a declarative sentence a declarative sentence is the most common form of a sentence It's a sentence that states a fact feeling or mood as long as you mentioned that you were addressing this question So when you get this type of question How should you approach it number one when you have this bit of extract? Try to select something from the beginning and the end do not take two bits of evidence for your two pill paragraphs Right next to each other So don't take something from the start and then another sentence right next to it because it comes across as a little bit Lazy to your examiner you want to show that you have a range of different Examples that you're selecting in the best words the best way to do that It's like something from the beginning as you can see here I've highlighted as clear as pure as ice Which is a simile as well as how this mountain breathe back to her so simile coupled with the personification That's the beginning and what this is illustrating is this silent moment that Zoe is looking out on on this mountain is You know, it's so amazing. It almost gives her this sense of clarity. She's clear-headed Okay, and this is shown through the simile and personification So I'm going to talk about that and show you how you can analyze this and go into detail and even zoom in on particular words But then also the way it ends here this idea when she's talking to herself She's looking out at this vast landscape and she's saying I'm alive. I'm an eagle now This metaphor is really powerful because it almost shows that being on this quiet vast mountain makes her feel Really weightless. Okay, of course if you haven't read this extract I would suggest going to a cure's website download this paper Just read the extract and then you're going to see what I mean when I'm explaining it in this way Okay, so make sure you read that extract first then come back and watch this video Anyway, as I mentioned when you're tackling question number two, make sure you write at least two pill paragraphs That's roughly going to be around five minutes per point first pill paragraph pointing out a Language technique as well as maybe coupling it with a sentence form in your opening pill paragraph And of course your second pill paragraph Once more taking another language technique maybe from the ending and then possibly coupling it with a sentence form You don't have to do it for both paragraphs. Okay, as long as you talk about sentence form in one paragraph You're good and you're completely covered. So let's have a look at how I responded to this question Okay, using the point evidence explanation and link method. So here's my first paragraph where I'm going to embed these two bits of evidence Here's my point Firstly it's evident that Zoe feels a deep sense of contentment which means happiness when she is on the mountain indeed being on the mountain and inhaling its Atmosphere gives her a sense of clarity a sense of clearheadedness. Of course as you can see also I'm answering this question using ambitious language and ambitious vocabulary. That's my opening sentence. Here's my Evidence. So this is my opening point followed with my evidence the area seemed as clear and as pure as ice So I've embedded this and Zoe enjoyed how second bit of evidence the mountain breathed at her Okay, so I'll skip this out and use ellipsis to put that sentence together So I've embedded two bits of evidence in my evidence part of my paragraph now Here's my explanation. This is where the bulk of your marks are This is where you are racking up your AO to your assessment objective to you're showing an awareness of language and Structure and you're showing it through using relevant Subject terminology. Here's my explanation The white uses simile coupled with personification So I refer to both of these techniques to present the surroundings as being pristine which means perfect The adjective now I'm zooming in on one particular word pure So I've decided to zoom in on that word Illustrates to us as readers that being on the mountain has really cleared Zoe's mind In fact, she's able to think clearly That's my explanation. I've mentioned language techniques simile and personification And I'm saying what the effect is after I've zoomed in on one word I still have a mentioned sentence form. So of course, I need to make sure I mentioned sentence form in my second pill point Here's my link thus we can see Zoe feels at peace She is incredibly happy and elated which means happy to be in the mountain as it gives her peace That's my first paragraph and I keep on making reference back to the question Remember when you're referring back to the keywords in the question which you need to highlight in the question You need to repeat and reinforce the keywords. You're not over repeating yourself. You're showing the examiner I totally understand what I need to answer in this question That's my first pill paragraph now. I'm going to shift and look at this reference to how she's an eagle She feels almost like she's weightless, right? So she's so excited to be on this mountain It's almost like she's transcending her body rising above her body So this is the second point. I'm going to include in my second pill paragraph. So starting off with my second point furthermore Zoe feels so alive that she almost feels like she can fly being on the mountain gives her a feeling of transcendence ambitious language As she likens herself to a bird so she's able to almost rise above gravity as she compares herself to a bird That's my opening point. Here's my evidence. She asserts. I'm an eagle keeping it quite simple. Now. I'm going to unpack this evidence Joyce uses a metaphors. This is the surname of the author in this declarative sentence So I have made sure that I've referred to sentence forms this troublesome bullet point So Joyce uses a metaphor in this declarative sentence to convey how high and energetic Zoe feels the noun eagle zooming in once more you need to make sure you zoom in on particular words in the language question So the noun eagle is especially vivid as we sense that Zoe feels like she's so light and alive On her skis that she can rise above gravity and fly That's my explanation where I go into Use of metaphor language analysis sentence form declarative sentence I then zoom in and do some more word level analysis. So here I've really really firmly gotten my a o2 Marks. Here's my link back to the question Consequently we as readers can see that Zoe feels empowered So she feels really powerful and energy filled on the mountain She almost believes that she can transcend her body meaning rise above her body and fly That's my second pill paragraph where I start off my point evidence explanation And then I linked it back to the question and as I mentioned question number two to be honest Once you are clear on language and structure techniques and especially language for this question Once you're clear on that and once you also use a range of examples from this box Actually, this question is really really straightforward As long as you make sure you refer back to how the writer uses language and then in your explanation you unpack Okay, so maybe they're using simile and this is what this means. Maybe they're using personification This is what this means. Maybe they're using this noun I'm going to zoom in on this one particular word and this is how it illustrates Zoe's feelings And this is exactly how you can do so. Okay, so I hope this helps when it comes to how to tackle question number two of this exam


I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think this is something that should go down. And we can completely understand why because a lot of us are wondering how is Miles Boykin going to be this year? What's going to happen with Miles Boykin this year? How is he going to move forward and take that next step, that next jump this year? And it's a really good question. It's a really good question and I'm sure everybody has their own answers. But we're going to get into a lot of people's questions and something that a lot of people felt like the Raven should do. And that's move Miles Boykin a tight end. But I would say no. I would say no, don't do it. But before we get into that, shout out to y'all. I appreciate your team. Keep it clean. Shout out to all the team. Keep it clean patrons. Thank you for showing extra support to this channel. I love y'all. I love everybody. Y'all already know, man, but thank y'all for being willing to show extra support to the channel. So I appreciate it a lot. Now, Miles Boykin, a lot of Raven's fans. They certainly remember Darren Waller. When the Ravens drafted Darren Waller, they they got a guy. What was he like six six? He was a tall guy, fast receiver too. But I joke about it a lot. But again, it's still true that the Ravens, when it comes to these taller receivers, they don't know what to do with them. They don't know how to act. They is like they get so lost and like, oh my goodness, we got a guy that's over 6465. What do we do? Because it happened with Darren Waller. It happened with Demetrius Williams. It happened with Tommy Streeter. It happened with Clarence Moore. It happened with Miles Boykin. It happens with so many of these tall receivers that they get. They just they don't know what to do with them and they get lost in the mix. So with Darren Waller, the Ravens were like, you know what? We don't know what to do with him at wide receiver. So let's change him. Let's transition him to a tight end and see how it works out. And it was risky, but that risk end up paying off in the long haul for Darren Waller because now he's been doing this thing with the Raiders and he's regarded as one of the best tight ends in the league.  Their heart breaks that much more because and you're happy for Darren Waller, especially with his entire situation that he had when he was on the Ravens, we're happy he made it through that and he's doing great now. So shout out to Darren Waller. But I know a lot of Ravens fans they heard from that because they always think about what could have been. Oh, he could have been with us. Oh, we could have been doing that for the Ravens. And it's a hard pill to swallow, but you got to. So now I think a lot of Ravens fans are comparing this situation with Miles Boykin to a Darren Waller and hoping that it could have the same effect. And hey, who knows? The possibilities are endless. It possibly could. But the reason why I say don't do it is because one it would, in my opinion, it would show them giving up on yet another wide receiver that they drafted and in his what, third year? Now, I know that there is a possibility. It's a possibility that the Ravens could end up moving on from Miles Boykin this year and that would be a very sad possibility. If that happened, that would be very hurt because you all know me. I'm a very big Miles Boykin fan. And I just feel like with Miles Boykin, I feel like the biggest thing with him is that he just needs more volume. He needs more volume. Now, I know it's only one football that goes around to everybody. It's only one. But with Miles Boykin, I think that if he was to get into more of a rhythm, because that's the biggest thing, actually, the biggest thing is that him and Lamar are just not on the same page. Now, if they were to get into a rhythm, they'll be able to get some chemistry going and he saw more passes come his way. I think Miles Boykin would do so much better, so much better. But the fact that they are not in sync. Shout out to in sync, baby. But anyway, the fact that they are not in sync. I think that plays a huge role, a huge role. So with Miles Boykin, a lot of people have said, oh, yeah, let him switch to tight end. Now, my biggest reason why I do not think that the Ravens should switch him to tight end is because of how he is at the wide receiver position. Miles Boykin is this huge, just giant, got some nice speed too. He's like 6'4", 6'5", huge guy. But he doesn't always play up to his size. And I think with Miles Boykin, one of the biggest things about his game that I feel personally is holding him back a bit. It's not that he can't catch. Nope, it's not that not to me. Nope, it's not that he doesn't have good speed. It's not it either. I know his route running can certainly improve, but I don't feel like that's his biggest problem. I don't. I think Miles Boykin biggest problem is nothing to do with his physical attributes. I think it's all up here. It's all the mental part of football. And the mental part of football is bigger than the physical part, much bigger. And in my opinion, I think Miles Boykin, it's got to click up here. It has got to click up here. And I know that Jeff Zribick, he said it a few days ago that the Ravens are trying to have Miles Boykin just use his body more and make him more physical. Now think about this because for the people that would want Miles Boykin to switch to tight end. And like I said, I used to be one of them too. When I thought about it, when the first guy brought up to me in question from subscribers, I was like, Oh, you know what? That's not such a bad idea. But recently when thinking about it, I'm like, No, I it's not a good move. But with Jeff Zribick saying that that the Ravens are trying to have Miles Boykin be more physical, really use that physicality a lot more. If he right now, if he's struggling and he has struggled not saying that he can't change and can improve because we can all improve and whatever it is that we do. But if his biggest issue right now, in my opinion, is him struggling with the physicality as a wide receiver, then if he were to make that move, make that transition a tight end, then the struggle would be even more because it's such a an even more demanding position. It's demanding position physically because a tight end similar similarities with a wide receiving a tight end. You both catch passes. You both run routes. Now the tight end, the routes that they're running is not going to be like the routes that the receivers are running. Well, some of them tight ends. They get down there.  But anyway, it's going to be different and you're going to be working the interior, the inside of the field a lot more. So with that being said, you have those safeties.  They don't do that. They still block now, but they blocking cornerbacks and stuff. They'll block a safety or whatnot, but these tight ends, they block in defensive linemen. They block in linebackers. They block in cornerbacks. They block and say they block everybody. Why are receivers ain't got to do all that. So you're going to be asked a lot more physically as a tight end a lot more and run blocking pass blocking and just the sort of wear and tear that your body takes. So that would be my biggest reasoning for why I do not think the Raven should move Miles Boykin to tight end. Now I think if it clicked form at wide receiver, if it finally clicked form and it was okay, that light turned on, then I'd be like, okay, cool. Say for instance, if it would have clicked form like last year as a wide receiver and it looked like it was like toward the end of the season, things were getting a bit better. He's getting a few more opportunities and things are getting better. That's why I say he's a volume guy. He's got to get more catches in order to do better in my opinion. And I know you could say, well, hey, when he does get a catch, he needs to make the most of his opportunity and that's true. That's very true. You would not be wrong. But at the same time, if you don't get many opportunities and whatever it is that you're doing, not even just football, but if you're trying to learn something, you're trying to understand something, you're trying to get better at something. If you don't get many opportunities at it, it's going to be very, very hard for you to get better. And if somebody told you that, hey, well, when it is your time, you need to make the most of the opportunity. It's true, but it doesn't make the situation any less difficult. So with Miles Boykin, he needs to stay a wide receiver in my opinion. He should stay right there at the wide receiver position. And hopefully again, this can be the year where he really turns it on. Team, keep it clean. We have.


Good morning to CMC Espresso, your daily news update from the Frankfurt Office of CMC Markets. Somehow it seems that no one really bought into what the Federer Reserve had to sell yesterday. The Fed statement was more hawkish than it had been last time, but gold was going up strongly after it went down for a short time. The dollar after it spiked up for a short time went into a nose dive correction. Silver is now firmly above $20 an ounce. The price of oil didn't profit from the weakness in the dollar. After data from the US Energy Department showed a larger than expected inventory build. If you have been following this video format this week, you knew that refineries are shutting down capacity utilization to react to the largest gasoline inventories in four years. So this means less crude oil demand, which is now showing up in inventory numbers. And it is probable that this will continue to be the case in the coming weeks. Right now, fundamentals trump any FX or dollar moves in the oil market. That the Federer Reserve would honor better than expected economic data, which had been released in the past months, was clear. Maybe some gold traders had interpreted yesterday's more hawkish statement that maybe the Fed knows more than the markets. And that could only be that they might be knowing more about inflation developments. Gold traders must think that the Fed might expect inflation rates to go up in the coming months, cause everything else would not really explain why gold went through the roof yesterday after the Fed released its hawkish statement. In the end, it is short sellers covering their positions after bad news were delivered, which is a bullish development.
