Welcome to NTN Nightly, I am Genelle Norville, this edition's top stories. Over 50,000 St. Lucians have been vaccinated against COVID-19 with more doses on the way. The Ministry of Health addresses concerns about the safety of the AstraZeneca vaccine and the community of Lage Babono to welcome a new primary school. St. Lucia's national COVID-19 vaccination campaign has gained significant ground since implementation four months ago. However, the Ministry of Health says there is still considerable work to be done. As of Sunday 13th June 2021, a total of 29,655 doses and 20,589 second doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine had been administered. This represents 16.4% and 11.4% of the population receiving the first and second doses respectively. During the month of May 2021, the campaign modified its initial phase approach to be complemented with a mobile component to facilitate greater ease of access to the vaccine by the general public. Nurse Tecla Jabatis is the Assistant Principal Nursing Officer and Vaccination Supervisor. Vaccines are offered at routine static vaccination sites every week, island-wide, as well as at mobile sites within communities and at locations of high human traffic. The elderly, people with mobile challenges and people living with chronic non-communicable conditions continue to be vaccinated within their homes to ensure individuals at high risk for severe COVID-19 infection are reached and provided with the protection offered by the vaccine. It should be noted that a cross-section of the private sector has partnered with the Ministry of Health to provide vaccine to their management and staff within their workplace.  The Ministry of Health notes particular success with this strategy within the hotel sector. To date, some hotels have achieved vaccine coverage of about 65 to 70% of their staff complement. This is a remarkable achievement, especially in a sector where there is a higher risk of possible exposure to the COVID-19 virus given the nature of the heightened level of daily interaction with a wide range of people. This reduces the likelihood of a surge in cases given this level of protection and health and strength and productivity in that sector. As the economy slowly reopens and restrictions are lessened, Nersha Bhatti says the need to have a significant proportion of the workforce covered with the COVID-19 vaccine becomes increasingly important to protect the health of our citizenry. She notes that the demand for vaccines worldwide far surpasses the supply as we are still in a critical point in the pandemic where vaccine supply is limited. However, St. Lucia's third transfer of the vaccine under the Covax facility is expected in the coming weeks. Currently, the AstraZeneca vaccine is the only vaccine available in St. Lucia. The Ministry of Health continues to engage authorized vaccine suppliers with the intention of adding other COVID-19 vaccines to the current program. Nersha Bhatti has also assured that the ministry is carefully monitoring the use of the COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccine safety and monitoring for severe adverse events remain a critical component of the vaccine loadout. It has been noted that recent reports released by global health authorities indicates that there is an association of blood clotting events after the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine. We at the Ministry of Health are aware that this may have contributed to a level of hesitancy towards the vaccine and thus affecting uptick. We assure all that these events have been confirmed as being extremely rare and an unlikely expected outcome for the vast majority of people who received this vaccine. It is important to consider that clotting problems are a common complication of COVID-19 infection and it is also associated with other prevalent health conditions, including obesity. The Ministry of Health assures the citizenry that the safety of each individual is of paramount importance. There is in place a vaccine monitoring system which allows for the keeping of a record of any adverse effect and a timely intervention if this occurs. Given this monitoring system, it is important that each individual who has been vaccinated and experienced a response beyond the expected side effects contact the healthcare provider to report the experience. Though this monitoring system exists to capture adverse events in an effort to ensure vaccine safety, Nersha Bhatti says it is important to bear in mind that vaccine benefits continue to vastly outweigh any possible risk. The construction of a new primary school in the community of Lage-Babono is underway following a solid turning ceremony on the grounds of the building site recently. Chris Satney reports. The project is being undertaken at a cost of some $7.5 million E.C. dollars through funding from the Government of St. Lucia and co-financed by the Caribbean Development Bank, the CDB. Being executed under the Education Quality Improvement Project, EQUIP, the new Laguerre Primary School building will comprise a basement, ground floor and a top floor. The top floor will house four classrooms, a library which will also house an IT laboratory and a music room.  The basement will house an open breezeway, male and female washrooms and a janitorial storage area. Prime Minister Alan Chastney, who spoke at the solid turning ceremony, says students within today's modern world must be given the skills necessary to help them adapt, think for themselves and to continuously strive to be the best. This is the vision. This is the future. This is understanding the capacity of our country to be able to grow. And it's recognizing that the infrastructure, the smart school in itself, is not sufficient. And that's why a big part of the EQUIP program has been the first part for the first three years has been about training the teachers to be in a smart school. There's no point in giving a child an E-pad if the teacher doesn't understand it. If the teacher themselves don't have the vision of where we need to go to be successful in the future. And we cannot continue to rely on the faith alone that what the teachers are doing is going to be successful. The school was due to be constructed under the basic Education and Enhancement B project but was delayed as a result of the passage of Hurricane Thomas, which resulted in the Ministry of Education diverting funds to repair the many schools that were ravaged by the 2010 cyclone. Minister for Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development Honourable Dr. Gail Briggebert says the new smart school will be equipped to better prepare students to exist in a world that is continuously advancing. It needs to be smart in terms of the infrastructural integrity and its ability to withstand climatic events. It needs to be smart to the extent that it incorporates information communication technology. It needs to be smart to cater for the multiple intelligences of our students. It needs to be smart to reflect our own incorporation of renewable forms of energy. It needs to be smart in recognising that our students have different mental and physical capacities and so we must cater for those. MP for Barbano Honourable Ezekiel Joseph says the project is long overdue and says he looks forward to finally addressing the issues of the school which has been temporarily housed in a restricted space adjacent to the construction site. Honourable Sadat, my people of Lagga, thank you very much for your patience. I must say that the parents thank you very much for your patience. I know your support is there I know likewise the teachers looking forward to that completion of this project but we want you all to be more involved even after the school is completed. the school is completed. Your involvement is critical to assist the teachers in the development of our students. That's important. So having a new school is one thing but you must give the principal and the teachers the support. The contract for the school's construction has been awarded to Construction and Industrial Equipment Ltd whose CEO Reino Kajada is confident of completing on time and within budget. We started off the school and as you know the little rains are on and the kind of soil that we have here is going to hold us back just a little weeded. But once we get out of it, it's going to be all easier and we'll be moving very quickly. Under the Education Quality Improvement Project Equip, two other schools will benefit from the construction of new units to enhance the educational and comfort capacities of these institutions. Contracts for the construction of these units were recently awarded and signed with Prudies Construction Services Ltd for the construction of the unit at the Gordon and Walcott Memorial Methodist at a cost of $6.5 million and a construction and industrial equipment limited for the construction of the unit at the Vidbutai Primary School at a cost of $4.5 million. From the Communications Unit of the Ministry of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development, I am Chris Satney reporting. The Early Childhood Services Unit of the Department of Education, Innovation and Gender Relations is informed in residents of the community of Grosily of the registration of children for the Government-operated Early Childhood Centre in the district.

Hey, what's going on everyone? It's be Avery here for another trailer reaction is San Diego Comic Con right now 2017 and Netflix just released their marvels the defenders official trailer number two first trailer came out number of months ago I thought it was pretty good pretty excited about it, but now we've got trailer number two So of course, I'm expecting new footage. I can't wait to watch this trailer I can't wait for this season to drop next month in the middle of August I think it's going to be a lot of fun as far as all the Marvel Netflix series I really did enjoy the first two seasons of Daredevil I also love Luke Cage especially the first half of the season opposed to the second half And I really did enjoy Jessica Jones too, but iron fist that was very disappointing. I left a bad taste in my mouth But anyway, that is in the past and now we are in the present and I can't wait to watch this trailer So let me go ahead and put on these headphones and y'all can stop listening to me talk But watch me watch the trailer here we go The thing about war is it only works if both sides believe they're the good guys The truth is we're not so different We fight to get back what was once ours But in the end and this is the end It's just a city you'll get used to watching them fall I think we're safe for now. We need to figure out our next move. No, it's not next move and there is no weed What is that?  I'm glad we found each other I'm not hugging you That was a pretty good trailer. I'm gonna be honest with you as you saw from my reaction I'm not just super dupe excited. I'm not just like, oh my god. That was the best trailer in the world I can't wait. No, um, I did expect more from it But, you know, it's just a trailer, you know, we do have eight episodes coming. Like I said, august 18th So hopefully it is as good as I anticipate it to be One scene that stood out for me and watching that was the one with Sigourney weaver And I don't know the actress's name the older asian Lady that I think her name was madame gal She uh hit daredevil with that palm fist and daredevil season one and knocked his ass back like 10 15 feet Like okay, dude, I know you're good, but I'm on a completely different level So I wonder who is the main baddie in this is it her madame gal Is that I feel like that is not her name madame gal madame? Whoa, I'm getting the names mixed up with one of those spiderman villains because he does have somebody named madame Gal or whoa, let me know in the comments But I'm really curious to know who who is more powerful Sigourney weaver or The older asian lady that we've that you just saw in the trailer and you've seen her in other seasons as well um I don't see Sigourney weaver as being like Some grand martial artist or you know someone with powers or fighting and I believe that her character Was made up for this series. I don't think it's a character that came from This the uh the comics or whatever, which is fine You know, I'm not like a stick like that. Like who is this person they run the whole series because it's not directly from the comics I mean, I mean I care, but I don't care For the most part and when I say I mean when I say I care I care in other stuff As far as them adapting the comic book or the source material this particular show right here I don't mind and I'll Sigourney weaver. Yeah, Alexandra. I don't know that character Um, that we did get glimpses of a load of young as a letter in this I don't know if she's gonna be playing a good guy a bad guy or both She may be you know kind of paranoid, but it looks like you know the defenders are not getting along too great They're not looking for super friends, but I don't know if I had superpowers I wouldn't want to find as many super friends as possible. But you know, everybody's different So, uh, we're just gonna see I did like seeing them, you know back to back and I kind of wonder what character is going to take the lead and You know, I'm also curious to see, you know, um how matt murdoch Daredevil, you know, he's gonna be the only one wearing a costume. It looks like There in luke's there was glimpses of him and his comic book costume Where he was like, man, you look like a damn fool when he looked into the reflection and he had the yellow shirt on or whatever Um, I don't I doubt that we'll get a costume for iron fist until his season two comes And I'm I want that to show to be good because you mean it's based out of martial arts So I'm a martial arts guy, but that that season was kind of crappy or whatever But you know, these are just my thoughts of the trailer and guys, which is just my opinion But like what is your opinion? How do you feel about this new defenders trailer too? Um, that was just released at comic con. Did you hate it? Did you like it? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me to turn you on or to turn you off? Let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing If you like this video, go ahead and give me the thumbs up and if you don't like this video That's perfectly fine.

Yeah, you know, but i'm going for it and how can you help me get there you can by sharing this video 1000 times but guys i just want to thank you again for tuning in for my opinion slash reaction For netflix's marvels the defenders trailer number two and before you go don't forget that my name is brennan kithavery And that's just my opinion


All right. Yo, what's good everyone? Nick Smith is back. Welcome to another rebuild. We've already done the 76ers We've already done the Bucks, the Bulls, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and now we're up to the Boston Celtics I mean, they've got no superstar players, but they have an all-star in Isaiah Thomas I don't know how this man is so good.  How tall is he? 5'9", and he's an 86er overall. Pretty crazy right there No, it's good to see him doing well. They've got nobody above the age of 28, so a reasonably young roster I don't know, this team? Pretty good right here. Pretty pretty good. What they don't have is a player above 90, so I mean Yeah, I don't know if we're gonna trade for a player above a 90 overall But we're gonna take a look and see if we can make some trades. I don't know. We might have to sign a big free agent I'm thinking maybe we go after like Andre Drummond free agency because I feel like the Celtics What they need is they need a center.  I feel like the Boston Celtics, I feel like they need a center So yeah, I mean we can try and make a trade for a center right now I don't know Joe Salinger can do it for us. I mean he's decent, but it's not nothing crazy And I don't mind getting rid of our first-round pick as well because we have we have you know the next first-round pick And the Nets, they're absolutely trash. So I guess we'll have a look and see if we can make any trades if not I'll start the season for this trade right here. Not bad. Ah like I'm thinking it's a pretty good trade right here.  We bring the Andre Jordan to this team along with a veteran at Paul Pierce as you Celtics fans know One of the greatest Celtic players of all time. What do I think about this trade? I reckon we go into it But we don't make this trade because I didn't see like The only issues are is cap space as you can see 20 million dollars. That's that's that's DeAndre's salary He is a lot. He just cost a lot. So Yeah, we'll see if we can Negotiate a trade right here. So I think we have to get rid of a Mia Johnson just because of the salary just to make it even Which I mean that that works out And we don't give up this pick. I just want to see what they say to this trade. Wow So it was just Jared Solinger and a Mia Johnson for DeAndre Jordan and Paul Pierce. I Mean, I'll take that right there. I guess we don't have a power forward now So I guess that's the next option we go after a power forward I don't really want to give up Rosia or young or Hunter. I'll give up Jordan as to rep I'll just see what Jota strepco is worth on the block. So with this trade right here We receive a power forward a starting power forward in Bobby porters, which you know, I mean it's decent He can he's a young player that can set a power forward for us and we receive Mike Dunlavy Unfortunately, we'd have to go up a first-round pick, but it's our first round pick and I reckon will be pretty good this year I mean unless the so unless the Chicago Bulls want to give us anything else Let's take a look at what they have they don't really have a great squad like D Rose huge contract 81 overall obviously I'd go after Jimmy Butler, but yeah They're not gonna give us Jimmy Butler At all, so I like there's not even a point going for Jimmy but la I mean unless we go after power the soul But I'm thinking we could probably sign a player like power the soul and free agency And so yeah, I think I'll just take the original trade. We get Bobby porters on this team I mean, it's a good starting power forward to run alongside Deondre Jordan. Honestly, though, I think we're good to go into the season Isaiah Thomas Avery Bradley Jake Crowder Bobby porters Deondre Jordan That's our starting lineup and then we've got Evan turn off the bench along with Kelly Oh learning Marcus smart Mike Dunlavy Tyler Zella. Actually, no, I've got to get Ray Allen. What am I talking about? So why don't we make a trade? What position don't we what position do we have too much of we have a lot of shooting guards and quite a few Small forwards and small forwards three Okay Mike Dunlavy and Tyler Zella So this is the trade I'm gonna make only because we we receive a pretty good first-round pick a Minnesota Timberl's first round pick and it also means that we can sign Ray Allen back to the Boston Celtics So let's decking up on pigs along with getting a Former Boston Celtic in Ray Allen who I mean, that's pretty cool. We get Paul Pierce. We get Ray Allen back. I like that And yeah, that's awesome Ray Allen and Paul Pierce Welcome back to the Boston Celtics Should be I reckon we'll be fifth in the playoff pitch But yeah, we'll see where we are at the halfway point of the season and not great We lose to the 76ers to start out the season Good stuff. So at the halfway point of the season we're fourth in the conference So, I mean, that's better than I thought but we're 29 and 26 and the bulls are 29 and 23 We can definitely catch up to third. I don't think we're gonna be ending up Second in the east just because of Miami. They're doing really well in this 37 and 16 Caz 39 and 13 so they're also doing really well But I mean if we were in the West, we wouldn't even be doing that bad I mean, we'd be also like the same position pretty much would be fourth or even third. So, yeah I mean, we're doing decent right now. Um, I yeah, I think we're gonna I think we're gonna simulate to the end of season No need to make any trades. We have 90 chemistry Hopefully we can beat the bulls for our third in our conference, but if not, I reckon we'll stay it for so, yeah Let's simulate to the end of the season. So last game of the season. Are we gonna stay 44 wins? Yes, we are Not a great season, but I mean, that's pretty much I mean we're projected to get 44 wins. I think the Boston Celtics. Anyway, Deondre wins defensively. Yeah, pretty good right there by Deondre and Did we get anything for anywhere? I mean, obviously Deondre in the old in the old defensive first team But apart from that, I think that's about Bobby Porter's Nice trade by me getting Bobby on the team all rookie second team. That's pretty much it So we finished fourth in our conference and let's just simulate round up here up against the New York Knicks I assume we're gonna win that and this is where it gets tough best four teams in our conference and Yeah, now we're up against the Cleveland Cavaliers. We win game one and two and Three what? Okay, don't lose this Wow We go We beat the Cleveland Cavaliers With LeBron Kyrie Kevin Lover full healthy roster. I Mean, I mean, I promise this is not like this is on Hall of Fame I don't even know if you can change like a like a simulation A simulation like settings, but yo, we actually beat the Cleveland Cavaliers. That's crazy. Okay, cool Was not expecting that we're up against the Miami heat now the heat I mean as a heat fan, they got a good roster, right? We we have a good roster. Well, at least I like the thing so But I mean The debt that we have People underestimate our depth. We're winning games without Chris Bosch at the moment Do I wait and Chris Bosch 86 overalls along with the Sunwhiteside 386 overalls Deng and Druggage 80 overalls Winslow. We signed Mario charmers back. I guess uh Yeah, I guess we signed him back Joe Johnson's there a Mari's there. I mean the debt that we have on this team People sleep on our depth, but yeah, we're up against it. I was about to say we're up against the Celtics We're up against the heat. We are the Celtics. We win game one and two and Three what is going on right now? Like I promise you I'm not doing anything right now. I Like I don't understand Who? Isaiah, I mean the whole team is performing in the This man Ray Allen. I'm he played better than Olenek smart Pierce young Rosie. Oh, and he's 40 years old goddamn, but like I Don't know we're like is there a way to prove that that we're that we're not like cheating or anything because I promise you I'm not cheating. I'm It's just crazy like we're just We're just winning. We're just winning these series right now. This is awesome But now we're up against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Okay, this Thunder team this Thunder team This Thunder team It's pretty good. They're like Durant. They got West. They've got Ennis canter in Barker Adams pain I mean it took me honest. I rate this team in 2k, but in real life I don't know how much I rate this team. They've got Durant. They got Westbrook and to me. That's about it They've got nobody else that's super crazy on this on this roster But then again in 2k 95 Durant 95 Westbrook I'm like I'm gonna die in this one unless one of them gets injured. I'm safe. If not, we've probably lost this series All right game one Simulate we lose game You know, I want to simulate with simcast for these ones just because I want to see if I could hop into a game if it's close And we take wow we actually took game two by two points I'll take that nobody got injured for us, which is awesome and Nobody got injured for them. So both teams are healthy series is tied one one Please win this game number two Might have to hop in a game if it's close Y'all Come on now. Let's hop into this game. Let's get this Celtic sama win I'll see you guys once from the game. By the way, I've already made a video on this Please check out my 50,000 Subscriber video.

But yeah, really, I want to say huge. Thanks to all you guys 50,000 subscribers that is crazy. Why did we leave him so we got lucky right there?

All right, give me a pic and yeah, give me a pic deontre Run towards the basket right there.   I don't know if we can get a good look but I'm feeling a layup with Isaiah, but he's on Westbrook a great defender Actually, yeah, this is good. This is good. Good lap. Whoo. I thought I was gonna get blocked right there But yeah, tie up the game 57 seconds left don't lose this game Nick. We've got to get a win Westbrook's about to cross me up Bobby Porter set Come on. That was not a fan.   He made the shot But I want to see if he actually made that or not too. He could have missed and 2k just cheated me out right there But nah, Westbrook's a good play. I I assume he made that shot right there. All right, Westbrook Stop guarding me so close. I'm just gonna keep going with the pick and rolls because deontre.  Well, he's crazy, but in a bad way I don't know if he's gonna make his free throws right here First one's up and I make it deontre my man deontre Jordan.  Come on. What how did that pass go through? How did that pass go through? Please? No, no Oh, what? No, no, what? Oh my god Please block him. Oh my god. How did they get in these rebounds? How are they getting these rebounds? Oh?  Oh actually, that's a good look. That's a good look. I saw that right there I saw every Bradley cutting back door. I couldn't resist that. I know we need a three But hopefully we can either we can either get a steal or or oh my god I'm so close Jesus Christ, but you know if they miss a free throw. We're good on the problem is it's on Hall of Fame They're probably not gonna get they're not they're not gonna miss a free throw. Let's be honest They're not gonna miss a free throw. I'm either gonna take it with every Bradley or Isaiah Thomas Is he miss? Yeah, he just missed a free throw. He just missed a free throw. You know what? No, why did he oh? My god, are you serious right now?  Come on now Westbrook's not gonna miss That's so annoying because we had a chance to win that game, but what can you do now? What can you do? We lost the game. So it's not even that bad though because I mean it was an elimination game hopefully we can take game number three and No, was that game? I think I don't even know what game it is. That was game number three I think actually yeah, so hopefully we can take game number four tie the series up and why does this take so long? I wish I could just exit out of it, but I'll see you guys once we're in game four. All right game number four if we go down three one is not looking good if We can take this game right here and tie the series up at 2-2. I'll be very happy and I'm pretty sure it's close right now. I'm Okay, we won. We just won three point win Deontra 20 and 13 with four blocks Isaiah Trump Isaiah Thomas Isaiah Thomas drop 21 and eight So Bobby Ford is double double right there for them to rant 31 10 and 8 pretty good game Westbrook, I mean he only scored it. He only played 23 minutes, which I don't know it's got he he almost got a triple double. So yeah I mean he played decent, but I think the Thunder really need him to score. Anyway, serious is tied 2-2 Imagine if we win this series on our first year. That's crazy I haven't done what I haven't done that with a with a my league team yet in a rebuild But this game looks out of reach at the moment. So yeah, not gonna come back in this one direct He dropped 25, but Westbrook drop 30 14 12. So he's a beast, but yeah, it's an elimination game right now Hopefully we can we can get a win. If not, we go into season number two So yeah, let's simulate this game with simcast game number six Hopefully it's close. Maybe I can hop into the game. But if not, it looks kind of close I think they're gonna break away right now To fight my game. I'll hop into it. You know what? Why not? Let's hop into this game We're probably gonna lose but why not hop into the game? We lose the game we lose a series the Thunder win the NBA Championship, which is annoying But at least we made it to the NBA finals in our first year I'll see you guys in the off-season, but we actually did pretty well first year making the NBA finals I'll take it. All right, let's head off into the off-season. Doran was the finals MVP Garnet retires Ray Allen retires Paul Pierce retires Vince Cardiff Steven Nash a whole bunch of future all the famous retire and Yeah, draft lottery. We have the Brooklyn that's first round pick. Hopefully it's a top five pick Maybe a top three pick where we project to go Two picks in the in the lottery. We got the Nets and the Mavericks. I'll take it Hopefully one of them can fall into the top five probably not but let's just see what happens I reckon we're looking good for next year. We get the ninth pick right here the Mavericks are projected to get picked right here and We I mean out we are because you know the Mavericks. Yeah, you know me, but yeah We got six and nine so I'll catch you with the NBA draft and by the way It was the Pistons Magic and 76s that got the first three picks Let's get rid of players that are on huge contracts Which is not really anybody on our team. Isaiah's on a pretty small contract for an 87 overall Deondre and Jay Crowder. I mean, they're on decently sized contracts Um, well look at what we can get for Jay Crowder our sixth and ninth pick. I Mean do I take this trade right here Gordon Hayward and Derek favors? That seems really good not to take Like it seems like a trade that I just can't resist right now. Don't you think like Isaiah Thomas? Avery Bradley Gordon Hayward Derek favors and Deondre Jordan I will I will take the trade But I think I might trade Derek favors Might look to trade Derek favors along with a whole bunch of second-round picks Just because I seem to always get Derek favors and I think it's time for me to maybe look towards getting I do really like the Mark Zeldridge. I got him in the last my league rebuild as well Imagine if I got Blake Griffin. That would be insane Let's see if I can go after Blake Griffin. Honestly, like I'll get rid of my first round picks to be honest 2017 first round no one 2017 nets nothing really 2018 nets nothing they really don't want to give up Blake Griffin 2018 Wow Sweet we got Blake Griffin on the team. We get rid of RJ. Honda. Yeah, why not? I mean RJ. Hunter. He's just a guy that's he's there on this team not really doing much. I'll sigh I'll just sign these two We didn't draft any rookies but yo We got Blake Griffin or as you know, just the latest says black a Griffin got him as well Evan Turner. He wants to test for agency. That's fine with me Maybe I go after Andre drum and if I can and Then I can choose between Deondre or drumming and trade for a small forward because the best small forward I can get obviously apart from LeBron is dang who I don't know if I really want Llewell dang So that's why I want to see if I can sign drumming to a deal Because that would help us out a ton So let's see what he says to this contract right here. I Wonder what he will say he okay. He just declines straight up power the soul. Maybe don't get power the soul That'd be kind of weird him joining Boston Celtics, but I'll offer him a contract I'll offer Dirk the whiskey contract as well and maybe just in case I'll go after a small forward I Will take I mean, do I just bring Evan Turner back? Why not try and get Evan Turner back? Anyway, so the first guy that accepted was Dirk the whiskey But if I switch over here to the pending offers power the soul has already accepted to go to another team and Evan Turner, he's just mulling his offer. So I'm gonna take Dirk the whiskey, but I want him I can trade him and power the soul goes to the Washington Wizards and I mean Evan Turner will sign with us, but I can't sign him anyway But to be honest no need to I reckon we're good to go into player progression right now The team is looking good. It's a weird. It's a weird lineup with obviously Dirk and Deondre and Blake Griffin, but maybe Dirk He's a he's a team first guy Maybe he will play a six-man role Who knows like if I go to coaching Dirk's coming off the bench as a six-man, but he's averaging 27 minutes So he's averaging more minutes than I don't say I'm rich in Josephson Dirk the whiskey and a 2017 first round pick for Andrew Wiggins I'm a another first-round pick. I'll take that This has been a successful successful rebuild Isaiah Thomas every Bradley Andrew Wiggins Blake Griffin Deondre Jordan Marcus smart, you know We've kept the Boston Celtic guys. We've kept Isaiah Bradley Marcus smart Olenek Yo I'm like this has been a successful rebuild. So I think we're good to go into our second season The only problem I have is that our team chemistry is at a 36% which is not great at all But if we're looking at our roster, we've got Blake Griffin Isaiah Deondre Wiggins Bradley Olenek smart porters It's just a nice squat. It's a championship roster. Hopefully we can get Blake Griffin into the 90s That would be good. He's an 89 overall right now. I expect once the team chemistry gets a little higher He's gonna be a 90 overall. So yeah, let's simulate to the halfway point of the season But this could be a championship season in only our second season as the GM of the Boston Celtics Let's head on to the midway point of the season let go So the halfway point of this season We're pretty much where we were at the start of last season with third in our conference But this time we've got the Charlotte Hornets Being first in the east Griffin's doing okay. I said I said is doing pretty well Where's Deondre? He's averaging seven and eleven which I mean that's decent But it's not crazy good. We'll see what is worth I mean, I hope I hope he's worth something if not We'll just keep him and advance into the second half of this season, but We can get a some white side Maybe I'm a bit biased as a heat fan, but I like a some white side. I'm gonna take this trade right here It's a some white side. Okay, it's a some white side. The team is pretty good Let's be honest Griffin Isaiah Hassan Wiggins and Bradley a team this good is not losing Maybe they are but it's a pretty good team. That's what I'm gonna say. It's a pretty good team I reckon, you know with the trade that we just made we can be first in the east So, yeah, that's what that's what I'm feeling. Let's continue and head over to the second half of the season So right now we're first Going to the last game of the season. We went on a crazy win streak as you can see right there We weren't a little bit of a losing streak But now we won like one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven This could be the twelfth game in a row to be first in that conference We lose to the Cavs, but I'm pretty sure we still ended up first Ben Simmons wins rookie of the year kid Gilchrist six-man Davis the fencer player most improved DeAngelo Russell and Did we get anyone for anything? We made some plumbly Made some plumbly Wow in the old all NBA second day I haven't seen that one before we get we get Boston Celtic zone like Griffin in the all NBA 13 Do we get anything else? nothing nothing nothing Nothing, we didn't we get anyone so back in the playoffs where the first seed we better not lose to an eight seed all right We better not lose to an eight seed right here up against the Indiana Pacers. Let's just simulate round right here We get one two three four all right We we took it to game six got the victory in the end we can simulate the round up against the Atlanta Hawks We take that one as well. Oh man, I Wish the nuggets made it. I wish the nuggets made it I don't want to face up against the Warriors or the Thunder, but we're up against the seventh seed Chicago balls The balls got Butler a 90 overall Derek Rose. I think we can beat them We've got a blade Griffin Isaiah Thomas assault 90 overall 88 overall 87 86 come on now Let's not lose this game. Let's not lose this series. So yeah, let's uh simulate game one and two We lose game three and we lose game four. We've got to simulate we say I'm not losing to a seven seed Chicago Bulls team right now. We're gonna win this one. I hope yeah, we're gonna win this one. We're gonna win and And yeah, I'll take that pretty good game by everyone We've got a limit down on the turnovers though night for 22 night seven for 21 not great The Thunder swept the Warriors hold up Who do the Warriors have real quick? They got everyone really they just got swept by the Thunder who was crazy Westbrook and Durant They're insane. It might be another It might be another Okay, we're you know, we're going into game seven. Are you serious right now game seven up against the seven seed Chicago Bulls team? We better win this game. I might have to hop in this game because I don't want to lose this okay We won we won It's a rematch. It's the first seed first seed matchup And it's the Boston Celtics versus the Oklahoma City Thunder once again in the NBA finals It's a rematch right now. We want revenge. So let's simulate game one. We win game one We lose game two. We lose game three. Oh No, please do not lose this game right now. Please let us win this one. Let us win this one, please. Oh Man, yeah, I might have to hop in this game. We have the lead. Just keep the lead right now Please keep the lead. Please keep the lead We just won that one Griffin 25 points Wiggins double-double All right, we have we just have to win two games in a row and we won a championship Probably easier said than done, but yeah, let's simulate this this next game We started off really well. Oh wow, how do they they just went on a crazy run and came back in this game Yeah, I'm open in this game one point game. I'll see you guys once we're in the game. Who's there? Why okay Griffin post them up post them up Griffin up and under right there. He's a beast. He's a beast That's why I picked up play Griffin. Let's go. We have a one-point lead 30 seconds left for some reason Blake is running small forward, which isn't good. I Knew that was gonna happen. Ah All right It's our chance It's our chance It's gonna be a pick and roll with Blake Griffin.  Please hit this. Thank you very much tied game Hopefully I make this and then we can play some clutch defense to win the to win the game and force it to a game 7 And we did make the free throw right here. So now It's up to the defense. We have a pretty good defensive team as well The only guy that doesn't really play at great defense is Blake Griffin but Yo, we got Wiggins. We've got Bradley. We've got white side Isaiah Thomas on is on Westbrook though Not happy about that matchup, but I think we'll be good. Oh, no, okay Here is where it counts man. It's defense time. Oh my goodness. He just got me with the crossover right there You know what? I'd rather let Westbrook shoot Please shoot. Okay, you're not shoot. Oh, okay shouldn't have jumped that's not in we play great defense right there Whoo, we win game six in Boston forcing a game seven right now. Here it is people game seven Series is tied 3-3 To end this rebuild We have to win a championship It's only taken us two seasons in both seasons. We've made it to the NBA finals The first season we lost to the Thunder as you know, and now it's the second season Don't tell me we're about to lose twice to the Oklahoma City Thunder I've never won it. I've never won a championship in two seasons with any of my rebuilds So could this be the first rebuild that I win in two seasons or less Let's find out simulate with the same guts go Started off pretty well Let's just make it go quick. Yo, we started off really we're gonna win.  Yeah, I swear to God.  What I'm gonna have to Quit 2k. I don't know man. This is annoying.  Yeah, I was just watching a YouTube video. I click back into 2k We won the championship. Whoo. I didn't even realize why I did but like it froze But we won the championship We won the championship That was the quickest rebuild I've ever done two seasons we won a championship Made it to the NBA finals both times Isaiah Thomas wins the finals MVP Kobe retires on the Kings What Duncan retires, but I want to say thank you all for watching I'm gonna skip over to the final ceremony Hope you guys enjoyed the video if you did smash that like but if we can reach 1,000 likes I'll upload the next rebuild which I think is gonna be the clippers if I'm not mistaken in alphabetical order So yeah, the Los Angeles Clippers will be next But yo, this was a fun episode.

Thanks for watching. I'm out peace


Welcome back to the Zero to Diamonds show here. Ricky Karuth, good to see everybody. Today's my big day, big announcement that you guys been waiting on this. So much chatter around the internet in the group. I've got about, I wanna say over 300 messages over the last 24 hours about this. But anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and just do everybody. But man, I'm with, as always, my co-host here, Joe Rosen. We've got special guest coach Michael Burt in the house as well. But I'm gonna hand it over to you, Joe, real quick, because I wanna hear how you're January with it. Dude, it's picking up, man, which is awesome. So I quit counting weeks, but I'm guessing I'm at about 27, 28 weeks I've been in Port St. Lucie, right? And I am a rookie here. I'm not a rookie, but I like to say I'm a rookie because that makes it a little bit more fun. But all those code calls are kicking in, man. The funnel's full and I am packed with business. Every day is showings. I feel like it's pending, listing something. And so January, we had three sales. We've got three more pending, two for this month and one for March, no, May, we got one way out there. And then we get three new listings. So for a guy who's been in for a little over six months, I feel awesome. That's incredible, man. I love that. Yeah, my January went pretty good. I ended up with 90K commissions. I think it was about maybe like seven or eight deals, close, man, I'm having a great start of the year. My goal every month is to hit 80K a month because that's a million. So I already got January, February, March, already done and I'm about 20,000 into April. So I'm working on my April right now trying to get it wrapped up so I can move on to May and just keep going down the line. So yeah, today, ever since the Super Bowl I've actually been kind of like trying to like catch my ballot notes because I stayed up for the Super Bowl or what? Or hadn't been drinking enough water lately or what it is, man, just hadn't been able to like really find that like fire motivation I normally have. Yes. So the past two days, I actually just kind of took a bright midday and did a little workout. And I feel a lot better. I drank some water today. Tomorrow I'm gonna get back on the phone and make some calls. Cause like I'm at that point where I feel momentum, like nowhere near like gone or slipping. Like just like, I want to keep gasoline on the fire. You know what I mean? Yep. So Coach Bird, how are you doing, bro? I'm doing great, man. I'm here outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It's raining. I'd like to be in poor St. Lucie. Yeah, that's what we're talking about. I've been down there, I was a high school basketball coach. We played in a tournament in poor St. Lucie every year. So I know exactly where you're at, man. And I'm gonna be in Miami this weekend for a cruise that I'm doing. So to the Bahamas while I'm speaking on, so it's gonna be good. So thank you guys for having me. Oh yeah, for sure, man. Always good to have you on. Super motivational. So I'm giving it just a second guys before I make this announcement here. And I'll let you guys know what's going on. This is gonna be totally beneficial for you guys. And I mean, all right, look, for one right here, I got a rematch shirt on. I know a lot of people are maybe wondering if I'm gonna take this sucker off. You know, I asked him to, as soon as I saw that, I sent you a message. I'm like, dude, you're going to EXP, aren't you?  You never know, man, the grass is greener. We'll see in a minute, but Coach Bird, how's your year started out? My year started off incredibly strong. We've got bookings all over the country. We're signing up people for the coaching program daily. I'm going on tour with Tim Story and Sharon Lecter in March, which is gonna be big around the country. So it's all good, man. Every day and every way, we're just getting a little bit better. You just stay busy. Yeah, my philosophy is just take large amounts of action, let the chips fall where they will, but every day we work a selling system, every day we work a follow-up plan, every day we try to extract referrals, every day we try to be a person of interest. So there's a rhythm and a cadence to everything I'm doing.  You know, I was sitting at a cracker barrel. You know, I live in Tennessee and we like our cracker barrels in Tennessee. And I was, on a Saturday morning, I was sitting there with my real estate agent and this was early in my career. And I said, man, I don't wanna chase business.  So, and I wrote three words on a napkin. I said, person of interest. I wanna become a person of interest. I want people to be interested in me because I'm creating real value for people. So that would go on to be one of my best-selling books and a very powerful concept that we teach. So you were at cracker barrel and you literally wrote this on a napkin? Wrote it on a napkin. But how'd it come to you? It just, I just said, I don't wanna chase, man. And like we're talking about business and we don't wanna, I feel like man, we're taught to chase leads and chase business and convince and manipulate. And what I said is I wanna become so valuable that people are chasing me. And that's really what I've tried to become over the last 12 or 13 years.  Right. Hey, personal branding, right? Yes.   And you gotta go out there and make another sale. And then another sale. That's right. When you build that brand, you become that person of interest then you're not worried about where your business is coming from. Yes. They're gonna find you because you're that person of interest. I love that. Yeah. Cool. All right, we're at 5.99. Okay, 601. Got 601 people watching live. It's officially my largest live stream so far. Nice. I had over 500 watching when my surrogate came on. I think I had 450 to 500, baby, when Quintavius Burdette was on with us, Joe. Coach Burd, baby. A couple of weeks ago. Yeah. All right, so I'm fixing to lay it down here. What we have in store and what my big announcement was and it's really kind of funny how all this came to be. But anyway, here we go. What we're doing is, and just like always trying to figure out how I can bring you guys more value and try to figure out how I can put agents in the industry that are following me in just a better, like my thing is to become 1% better every day. Right? And so through me trying to become 1% better every day, I'm also trying to figure out how to make myself better, which in turn makes you guys better because part of my mission is to help you guys get 1% better every day.  That's what I'm chasing is like a better life for you guys. And so through that, me and Coach Bird, we put our heads together and said, what can we do? We came up with a couple of things and I was like, no, I don't wanna do those things. Not at all. And then we kept throwing stuff against the wall and we finally came up with this. Okay, and this is the big announcement. We're doing a zero to diamond tour basically. It's gonna be in Naples and Atlanta, okay? I want you guys to fly in from everywhere to get to Naples or Atlanta. Naples is April 6th, Atlanta is May 1st, okay? And I'm just super excited about this because here's what happens.  See, here's the thing that me and Coach Bird kind of thought, how can we bring most value to you guys, okay? And here it is. My business, what I do with zero to diamond is I teach you guys exactly how to build your business like I built my business, okay? But the one thing, there's a little hole there that I thought, eh, I love the way that I build my business around the weekly email, building your personal brand, people call you, but I don't really go extremely deep with follow-up, okay? And follow-up is really big. I don't really go because my follow-up is let's figure out why they wanna buy our sell. Let's create a game plan around why they're trying to buy our sell and then let's create a game plan of how we're gonna follow-up with them, the steps we need to take, and so every situation's different. But I don't really go really extremely deep. Well, Coach Bird has a million dollar follow-up system and he said, what if we combine what you're doing with my million dollar follow-up system and just did an all day workshop for zero to diamond members, okay? So we put our heads together there. So when you purchase a ticket, which is only $49 for the whole day, you instantly right then get the entire million dollar follow-up system, the e-book, the audible, four hours of video with Coach Bird going through his follow-up system. Get all that immediately. And then we're gonna see you live. And I just, you know, part of this for me is to get all the zero to diamond members together and to network with each other, get to know each other. We're gonna do this every year and we're just gonna continue trying to build this community of real estate agents that just want to change the industry with us because we're trying to change the industry in a way where we have less failure rates and we also have a more positive out like, I want the public image of real estate agents to increase. They're like, if you get out there in the public and say, what do you think about real estate agents? You know, I don't know what the percentage or what the statistics are, but you know, I've heard a lot of like bad words. You know, I've heard a lot of statistics of, you know, real estate agents yourself for money and stuff of that nature. I want that to change. And the zero to diamond community is literally gonna change that and that's you guys. So that's what this is all about. We're gonna be in Naples and we're gonna be in Atlanta and the registration for this is only for this week. Okay, this is only this end Saturday to buy your tickets for this because we have to know how many people are coming before we can put all this together. Okay, so Saturday at midnight, the registration ends. Okay, so there's a link in the description of this video and let me save that. There's now a link in the description of this video or you could go to zero to diamond.com backslash events. All right, so I'm gonna hand it over to Coach Burton, let him give you like his take on what we're trying to do. But that's my take, this is a networking event to get you guys together to have an all day workshop me and Coach Burton, work on your follow-up, work on whatever questions you have and just have just an all out good time, get to know each other better.   I wanna shake your hand. I wanna take picture with you. I wanna sign your book. I wanna hang out with you. And so that's what this is all about. Coach? Yeah, I think, you know, Ricky, to your point, I believe we can help a real estate agent pick up a minimum of five to 15 more transactions a year on top of what they're gonna do if we just give them a good follow-up system. Okay, and I play the percentages in real estate. 67% of people use the very first person to contact them, right? They take seven to 15 touches, typically 80% of the time to convert a prospect to a client. The average real estate transactions should be worth 5.7 referrals. Yet 98% of agents don't have a good follow-up system after they do the transaction. So to me, when I'm coaching agents, and we're coaching multiple agents that are doing over a hundred deals a year, one of the biggest things they say they missed or were lacking was a follow-up system. When a person indicates interest, do they have a good seven touches between contract to close? Do they have a good touch system? After the sale, do they have a good touch system? So when Ricky and I did something last year in Alabama, I knew I wanted to do more things with him because we're in alignment on work ethic, belief, drive, go get it. And I said, what can we offer your agents that will add so much value to their life like it's a must have versus a nice to have? How can we make it so ridiculous that they can't say no to it? And so we put together this package that includes a full day with us, by the way, in Naples, which is a beautiful place, and Atlanta, which is one of the hottest cities in the country. We're gonna break it all down. He's gonna give you his methodology. I'm gonna give you my methodology where we put it together in a full day. And then we're also gonna give you a four hour video course of me teaching million dollar follow-up live plus my book, million dollar follow-up. Plus we're gonna give you the audible version and the e-book. So you're gonna get all of this when you register for this. And I like Ricky's concept of, it's gonna be kind of a reunion of all the folks in the coaching program. We're gonna spend time together. I don't care what, we can talk and go to dinner. Whatever you wanna do when we're in these cities to just make it like a big reunion where there's a lot of energy and a lot of excitement. And so for 49 bucks, Ricky and I are gonna bring that to you. Absolutely, I'm gonna be there the day before for these events. So people wanna get up for dinner or hang out or whatever the night before. Absolutely, 100%.  But here's the thing, guys, I've been coaching you guys for free for years now. I'm getting into my fourth year here coaching you guys for free. I've got so many agents that are doing six figure a year from taking what I'm doing for free. I'm telling them exactly what to do for free. And I'm just, I've poured my heart and soul into this. And so at this point, I'm just asking you guys to do something here. I feel like us getting together is just gonna like bring it all together for all of us. I just really wanna meet you guys. I don't know what else to say. I just really want to see you guys face to face. Joe. Dude, I just got my ticket. That's what I was doing. It works. I just wanted to test that link, baby. Okay. I don't know how far in Naples is. I think it's three hours, but that sounds like a good drive. Not too far. And also guys, here's something for ya.  Like you guys all watch my videos. You know how I coach.  A lot of you have probably seen me speak. You know that there's no fluff in what I do. This is, every second that we're at this event is gonna be you learning something and having aha moments. One after another, after another, after another. All right? So, I don't know if you guys can tell or not, but I'm pretty excited about this. I just really wanna meet you guys. That's really the bottom line. So, I'm gonna take a couple of callers. If you guys wanna put your phone numbers in, I'm gonna take a couple of callers here and we'll kinda go from there, but coach. And also, I would just wanna reiterate, as soon as you guys sign up, instantly you're gonna get his million dollar follow up system to start watching the videos, reading it, implementing that system. And reach out to me and coach Burke, DM us on Instagram if you have questions. If you get in there and see the follow up system, you start to read something, you got a question, send us a message and ask us about it and we'll immediately get with you and help you through whatever it is. We're here to help you. That's what this is all about. If we were here for anything other than trying to help you, we'd be charging hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars for this event. Yeah, right? $49, come on. I mean, I go to lunch with a client for more than that. Yeah, that's a lot of value. And I'm telling you guys, I firmly believe you can get five to 15 more transactions or you're easy if you just use what you see in the video. If you just get more cognizant, if you get more aware, if you get more deliberate, if you get more intentional, if you understand how much money you could recapture, then even if you don't come to the live event, what you need to, there's something about being in the room. There's something about seeing eyeball to eyeball, right? Belly to belly, man, being right in there together, in series with each other.     And when you do that, it really takes your thinking to another level because you're like, okay, you know, I thought I was up here because I'm around all these people, but now I'm right here with Coach Bird, Ricky and Joe. So, so now, now I got to see how I can elevate to here. It just, it just pushes you to go to that next level. Different standards. Oh yeah. See, I'm gonna get it. There's no way, there's no way after spending a day with Ricky and I that you won't think bigger. There's no way that you won't have some more prey drive. There's no way that you won't have some more hustle. There's no way that you won't want to get up and get after it every day. I'm telling you, you get in a room with both of us. We're both coaching real estate agents all over the country. We're both helping people earn six figures and beyond. So I'm telling you this, this is well worth your time. It's well worth your energy. And like I said, 49 bucks, come to Naples, come to Atlanta. Just get it all, man. Get in there while you can get it because it's only open for one week right now. We're only open this till the end of the week. Only up until Saturday. I'm gonna reach the voicemail box. The registration's only up until Saturday and we're only gonna do this. These are the only two spots for the zero to diamond tour basically or event thing this year. Okay, so we're gonna pick two other cities next year, but this year, this is it. So I really wanna get together with you guys. Trying to call a few people. Here we go. Hello. Hey bud, how's it going? Yeah, that was a bad accident. Good man, you're live here with Coach Bert and Joe Rosen. How's it going? I mean, beast in training, I would say, man. You never get there. What can we do for you, bro? What's your question? Weakness was, because I know you said single agents were always the best. So I found my weakness was the paperwork. I hated doing the paperwork. Okay. So right out of the gate, I was able to do call for self-by-owners and I ended up getting three listing appointments, two listing. Yeah, a little bit, but I ain't really worried about it unless I had a client ready to do something. Yeah. See, I'm not trying to sit around, trying to figure out how to do the paperwork, you know what I'm saying? Are you actively out there trying to find new clients and make deals happen? Or are you sitting around trying to figure out the paperwork? This is what you do. Here's the solution. You got a broker, right? Or you're on a team, right? Well, now I'm on a team. So I just hand it over to the listing. Don't hand it, listen to me. Listen to me. Don't hand it over. Don't hand it over, okay? Have them help you do it. That way you're in the process and you see how it's done. Okay. You feel me? Yeah. Coach? Yeah, I don't like. Yeah, what you gotta understand is that the purpose of the business is to create a new customer. And what too many agents do is to get bogged down and low value activity during the day. You gotta focus on generating new money, okay? There's a time for the paperwork, but you got the number one focus of your business every day is how do we get new money? How do we get new people in the funnel? How do we sell more deals? How do we help more people? And too many agents get bogged down while they're working on one or two deals and it's like, it takes up their whole day, okay? You gotta get to the point where you can't let this bog you down. The purpose of the business is to generate a new customer. That's what you gotta be focusing on every day. Is that what you're focusing on, bro? So that, open my. So you were, so you were a single agent. And you didn't, you didn't know, like through that you didn't know that paperwork was your weakness as a single agent, you were doing everything, right? Yeah, right. But you still need to be in the middle of the process when they're doing that paperwork.  Correct, correct. Let me ask you a question.   Yeah. Registration in Saturday. So dive on that, bro. And I can't, what's your name? Cause on, got it, got it, got it. Okay, cool, cool. Okay, brother. People are laughing at me when I started coaching for free.  Oh, I got you. What did, did you ask them what my one hit was? Ricky, don't lose that number. All right. Tell them you're 100, 100. Somehow I just stay on that top 100 chart month after month, after year, every year, every decade. Hey, tell them a hundred deals a year for six years is more than a one hit wonder. Got it? Letter bud. Yeah, you gotta, you gotta, that's a really interesting topic there about paperwork and assistance. Do more deals. You brought up a good point the other week too when we were talking to somebody they were talking about how there's fear of influence.  I think the same thing with paperwork. I literally sat down with my wife for an hour a day for, I don't know, four or five days. And we read through every major document I would need to know it on. Jennifer. Hey, can you push mute on your video? What's up? How you doing? I'm great. I'm great. You're live with Coach Burton, Joe. Tell everybody your name and where you're from. Atlanta in the house. I'm gonna see you. What did you guys come here? I'm gonna see you made first. I can't wait. What can we do for you today? And I just got an email saying just a confirmation but I didn't get an email for anything else. Yeah, yeah, you'll get everything else. Just, if you don't see anything or whatever just email me and just let me know, we'll figure it out. But yeah, you'll get everything. Okay. Yeah, yeah, you'll be getting a million dollar follow-up, the e-book, the audible of four hours of video, all that stuff. And then based on how many tickets we sell, we'll email everybody exactly where the venues are gonna be in the different cities. So we're still trying to figure out how many people are actually gonna come to this thing before we actually lock in. Cause we don't know if it's gonna be 300 or 800. So we're just kind of waiting to see how many we sell this week so that we can lock in places and then we'll alert everybody. So yeah, you'll get everything and just let me know if you have any problems or anything comes up. Yeah, tell everybody in your office. Okay, I sure will, I'll wait for the William. Let him know about it.  Yeah, let's just email me and we'll set it up and give him a little taste and we'll get them in there. Thank you. Joe, what's going on? They're gonna get everything. The email is gonna come from marketing at coachburton.com. That should have everything they ordered in there. If they don't get it, just email us but they'll get a confirmation and then everything will be a download quickly, the video, the e-book, the four hour commerce, all of that stuff. Okay. Chris, Ricky Karuth. Hey, what's up, buddy? Did you put your number in? I sure did. You're live, man. You're on the show. Tell it. I have any 2014. Ricky, I found you, I don't know, a couple months ago. I'm venturing out into the real estate field myself and I'm on fire, man. I just love it. Coach Burton, I saw some of your videos and I got my ticket, man. I'm coming down to see you guys in April. Where are you? Where are you located? I'm in Tampa, Florida. Okay, perfect. Perfect. Well, good, man. How long have you been selling? Well, I'm just getting into it. I got license late last year and been working, getting the systems up and running, trying to get myself educated as much as possible. And ready to go, so. Yeah, for sure. Have you? I've run that deal the first of the year off your promo. Yeah. Are you working full-time somewhere doing real estate part-time? So the 21st of February. And then that's it. You're doing real estate full-time? Don't real estate full-time. What led to that decision to say, I'm gonna stop working on the 21st of February? It's my son's birthday.  So I'm kind of for that thing. Right. Love it.  You know what I mean? Yeah.  You know? I feel you, man. That's commitment. Cool, man. Anything we can help you with today? Just thank you guys for everything. I'm looking forward to meeting you at Naples and, you know, keep pushing forward. Two steps forward, one step back, it's still a forward progress. Hey, keep fighting the good fight, man. We'll see you down there in Naples. Holler, if you need something. Thank you. Thanks, brother. Yeah, thanks for your service, man. Good guy there. You know, Wiki, one of the biggest things new agents don't have is they don't have a system. They don't have an attack. They don't know how to map out their days. They don't know how to call on a hit list. They don't know how to work a farm club. They don't know how to create 25-value relations. And all we're gonna do is we're gonna be giving the agents that a system, okay? Now, I've used this system to take agents from 45 deals a year to 160 deals a year, guys. I've used this to coach some of the top people, top people in the country out there, okay? It looks like 64. Hey, man! 64. Hey, what's up? Oh, man, it's going great. Doing even better talking to you. Hey, man, you're also talking to coach Burton Joe, so don't make me feel so special. Oh, yeah. I get that notification up there in Texas. I hear you, man. We appreciate that. Absolutely. I have a quick question for you. Yeah. And just kind of someone who I wanted to tell you a little bit earlier, you know, I've been the only thing I did was leave generations of cold calling. Okay. So coming in, my real estate career started in August and I already have that 80,000 to 100,000 cold calls in my belt, it was three weeks a year and a half. So a lot of experience there, no problem with Joe, good on the phones. And it's been going good, working now, but it's getting to the point that, you know, I've got a lot of front ends, you know, cold calling and generating business. And then I've got a lot of buyers and a lot of sellers that I'm working with. And I've got this huge thing in the middle, a lot of this follow up stuff that I need to do to generate business. And I'm having a lot of trouble with still keeping enough time allocated to still cut, you know, cold calling. Okay. So you're saying you're too busy trying to follow up to make more cold calls, you mean? Yeah, because you know, I'm writing contracts with my buyers and going on appointments and all that. Listen, man, I'm gonna just lay it out for you real quick, get Joe and Coach Michael's opinions. But the thing is, is that if you wanna exponentially grow your business, you have to find that balance between old clients and current clients and new clients. And if you're just gonna concentrate on current clients and past clients, your business is gonna plateau. So how much did you make last year? I started in August and I only had a couple of transactions just then. Okay, cool, cool. Well, I would say you're on the right track. Okay, so right now you're going through the mud, let's call it. And so just keep trumping through the mud and just taking care of this stuff. If you're staying busy and stuff, that's fine. If you don't have time for calls, I mean, it happens to the best of us, you know what I mean? But what you need to try, but what I would suggest, and I'll hand it over to Coach Bird or Joe, is turn all the notifications off on your phone for emails, right? You might be, I'm not just guessing here, but you could be a reactionary agent where every time your phone deans, you're going to that and it's distracting you from focusing on what you need to be time blocking. I'm not saying that's what you do. I'm just saying the things that you think that come off that you think are fires you gotta put out like right now, they don't, you don't even need to even worry about those for like a couple of hours. There's nothing that can't wait a couple of hours. Okay. And so what you need to do is start saying, okay, this buyer wants to write this offer, they want to write offer, we need to write that offer right now, that's important. But if it's a negotiation on inspection, we can do that in two hours. You know what I mean? So they're like, you know, you just gotta, you gotta be, as a new agent, you gotta decipher through what needs to be done now, which is about maybe 2% or 3% of what you think. And the other 97%, you need to push it off to a later time where you can focus on the most dollar productive activities. Okay, Joe, yeah, be religious about time blocking, but through that understand that you don't have to jump right on top of every situation. Okay, you know, turn the notifications off on your phone, that way you're not getting bombarded by unnecessary distractions. You know what I mean? And that way you can focus and check your email at the end of that call session. You know what I mean? But if you're gonna stop calling new people all together, that's why I like the three by three, three hours a day, three days a week, because I don't care how busy or un-busy you are, every single agent can put three by three in. Time block those three hours, three days a week, every single agent can do that. I don't care how busy or slow you are. Okay. You know, so do that at a minimum. 16 hours a week on calling. Yeah. And I've been hitting it pretty consistently so far. But I'm really interested in seeing the follow up program. Yeah, no, for sure. For sure, man, and get in there, we'll get that follow up system to you and then we'll see you in Atlanta. Joe, what's your thing? Yeah, I'll say two things that have really helped me, that I had problems with and now this has helped. Number one, going back to, you know, turn your emails off and everything, I check in the morning, like when I get back from the gym until I eat breakfast, maybe six, 30, seven o'clock, that's a great time to check your email, respond to texts, all that good stuff. I do it again at lunch, because I'm sitting down eating lunch, so I'm not in the phone, I got my mouth full, so it's a good time to respond.  And the second thing, I got this from you, Ricky, watching you, man, anything that can be done, that's not you in front of people on the phone, do it after seven, eight o'clock at night, while you're sitting on the couch, watching Netflix with your wife or whatever, what a great time to do that, because you can't be on the phone anyway.  Hey, that's why I like 430 in the morning, bro. Get up at 430 and do all your emails between 430 and 530, go to the gym. You already did more than most people do all week before you even get to the office at eight o'clock, and then get on that phone. Yeah, I'm usually in the gym from 5 to 630. 5 to 630, are you a bodybuilder? I do, it's huge. Oh, nice. Yes, I still do a lot of training. Nice, what sport? Track and field, that's a pole balter. Oh, okay. Wow. That's some serious stuff. Coach Burr, you got anything to add? I think it's simple. I think every day you gotta call on new people, every day you gotta close people, every day you gotta onboard new customers, and every day you gotta love on your biggest clients that send you referrals. If you can do those four things every day, you're gonna grow your business. If you follow me around every day, you would see me do all four of those things. Call on new money, close business in the pipeline, by going my seven to 15 touches, onboard new people to make sure they're up and going, and love all my biggest referral partners. That's what I do every day. And love on as other people. Love on your biggest feeder systems, your biggest referral partners. So, Coach Burr, I just got that ticket, I got the email and in there's a whole bunch of videos. Is everything you just said in that email? Yes, when you see that video, you got the book, you got the download, you got the videos, and Ricky, we've had about 70 people take action while we've been on this call. Test Buchanan, just registered for the Naples event. Congratulations, Tess. So, we got about 70 people that have taken action. Listen, guys, you don't wanna miss this. There's 600 people on the call. There ought to be 600 registrations, in my opinion, if you wanna get 15 more deals a year. Yeah, and tell all your friends too, and make sure everybody, I mean, this is only open till the end of the week, so we can get a number, we can get a head count, and pick the venues. So, definitely dive in this stuff. But listen, man, before I get off with you, I just wanna say this, I think this is really interesting because I was talking to a company yesterday on a Zoom call, and I said, you know, a lot of people are walking through their career with this buyer that's wasting their time, or they're working on these two listings. They don't even have the listings yet, but that's all they got going on is two possible listings. And I said, look, you need to have 20 to 30 possibilities going on at all times, like possibilities, like a couple buyers you're working with, and some sellers that are thinking about doing stuff, you need 20 to 30 possibilities. If you don't have 20 to 30 possibilities going on at once, then you're behind. You should have 20 to 30 going on so that you could close three to five deals a month. If you keep 20 to 30 possibilities going on at all times, see a lot of people think I got these two things going on, and you know, those two things are gonna overwhelm me. They don't realize like the percentage of people that actually go through with the deal is so low. You need 20 to 30 possibilities to keep three to five deals closing every month. All right? What do you have to do to handle them? Don't you have some automatic emails you can put them on with the criteria? Boom! Boom, I just saved your life. You know what I mean? Dude, start, I mean, like, okay, give me another example. That was, I mean, I squashed that one. Give me another example of what, you know, what you feel like you're gonna neglect them with. If you don't have anybody wanting to write a contract, how much time do you spend in writing contracts? Let your broker and self-help you once you get a, somebody that wants to write a contract, then you'll learn the process in real time. You know what I mean? Listen to me, man, 20 to 30 possibilities, okay? Let's say you got 20 possible deals happening, okay? 20 possible future listings or future buyers, okay? You with me? Yeah. Okay, you got that on a list in a notebook. 20 to 30, boom, right there. All right, 20 to 30. Now, every day when you wake up, you're gonna look down that list and you say, okay, I talked to them yesterday, I don't need to follow up with them the next day, right? You're gonna look at the next person and say, I might need to give them a call. You're gonna look at the next person and say, I need to text them, hey, boom, done that, two seconds. You know what I mean?  You know what I mean? And like when you look through that, when you look through that list of 20 to 30 people, that's literally gonna take you 30 minutes to give them all the attention in the world that they could ever want and then leave you seven and a half hours, more hours in the day to go cold call and add more possibilities to your list. This is gold, dude, this is gold. Yeah, okay, where'd you get those leads? Okay, and what did they say? The 300, 300 leads, you said, where'd you get them and what'd they say? Okay, boom, you don't call those people. They get what's called a weekly email, right? Okay, so now we're gonna get this, we're gonna sign up for the Naples, whatever you said you're gonna sign up for and get that million dollar follow-up system and you're gonna start implementing that with those 300 people, okay? Now we need to build that 300 people because that's your database. You need to start building personal brand with those people, all right? Original consistent content and now we need to get that 300 to 500, okay? And then to 1,000, okay? You need to get to 500 as quick as you can and then to 1,000. If you just concentrate on trying to grow that number, the deals will just come, okay? If you grow that number and your attention is to help these people, they're gonna love you for it.  Okay? Okay. All right, go get them, bro. Let me know how it goes. I wanna hear your success story. I'm Jack, I'm Jack, let's do it. Let's do it, dude. I'm so fired up. Thank you, thank you guys. Yeah, I'm going to drink some protein right now.  Yeah, he's doing it. Cool, let's see if I got any more number. I think I got one more here I can call and then we'll call it a day but man, I'm just so fired up to meet every single person in Naples or Atlanta coming up soon. You guys have no earthly idea how excited I am. And it's all designed to make you guys better. It's like, what else can I do? Hey, what's up? How are you doing? Good, this is Ricky. Can you hit mute on the YouTube? Did that. Okay, how's it going? You're on the show. Virtually in any way. You're kind of breaking up on me. Are you in a bad spot? Maybe it's your phone. I know what you're asking. You're asking if this is also going to be a virtual event which it will not be. Because if it's a virtual event then it literally just kind of takes the, I mean, the whole thing is, is I want to meet people in person. You're obviously in California, correct? Based on your zip, your area code. Okay, so you know, like if these go well maybe we'll do something in California next year. Who knows? I don't know if we will or we won't. You know what I mean? But you know, if you can get over here that'd be great too. If not, I understand it's a long way from California. But no, we're not going to be good opportunities. Right, okay. Coach Burr, you got anything to add with this? I will tell you what part of California are you in? Okay, I'm going to be out in California doing multiple events. One in LA, one in San Diego in the next couple of months. If you want to go to coachburr.com, click on live events and I will be out on the West Coast doing different events. I would tell you this deal that we have here today the 49 bucks gets you four hour video of me breaking it down live and it gets you the book and all those things. So it's still a good value if you can't come, you know, to the one in Naples or Atlanta. I'd go ahead and take that offer and then check out when I'm coming to the West Coast to come to one of those live events with me. And if we work it out, at some point I'm going to get Alabama boy, Ricky Carruth out to the West Coast. I'll come, dude, I'll go there tomorrow, okay? I know you will. Cool. That would be a video, wouldn't it? Ricky Carruth, Dornaken in California, that would be a YouTube sensation. All right, no, you're going to be in the video. Yeah. Anything else we can help you with today? Thank you. Thank you so much. Okay, everybody, comment right now. If you are upset, I didn't go to EXP. Or if you love the fact that you didn't go to EXP and how excited you are about meeting me, Coach Bird in either Naples or Atlanta, coming up April 6th in Naples, May 1st in Atlanta. I mean, I'm just trying to figure out how I can bring you guys more value. So if you don't think this hit the nail on the head, please tell me what else I can do and I will do that, okay? Just trying to figure out how to bring you guys the most value. It's really the name of the game here, bring you guys value. Looking at that last call too, I really want to throw it there. If you guys have never been to an event like this, I watch every single day, Ricky, David Goggins, Grant Cardone, Gary Vaynerchuk, all my favorites, every day to fire me up, every single day. It is nothing like being in person and getting the energy from other people and having other people, like-minded people, people with big standards, challenge the way you're thinking and constantly raise you to an even higher standard. It's completely different and for $50, I mean, I've never even heard of something like this. That's an awesome deal. I think so too. And also just to let you know, these events are gonna be from 8.30 to two, okay? We're gonna go from 8.30. We're gonna go to lunch, take a break for lunch and then come back and do some Q and A after lunch. And probably hang out a little afterwards too for a little networking or whatever the case may be. This event is for you guys, zero to diamond members to meet each other network, create a little referral network, if you will. So, and if you have friends that haven't been introduced to zero to diamond or me or Coach Bird or Joe, whatever, have them, go to zero to diamond.com. It's completely free, sign up and make sure that anybody that wants to come to one of these events goes and signs up before Saturday at midnight. At that point, the link will not work anymore because we have to have a headcount. We can't buy a place for 1,000 if we have 500. We can't buy a place for 500 if we're gonna have 1,000. So we need to know. I think that's it guys. Any last words, Coach Bird? No, I just wanna thank you guys. I look forward to meeting you in person. I love the live events. I promise you we're gonna bring you more value than 49 bucks. You're gonna get that in the email, the videos. Ricky's right. Like, you know, this is a great deal for you. And I just look forward to spending time with you in Naples and Atlanta.  Ricky and I are not cotton candy people. We give you the real deal, not something that tastes good for a second. We're gonna show you step-by-step how to do it. You're gonna pick up 15 more transactions a year if you do what we're teaching you or more. And you're gonna, maybe you're like the agent that I'm coaching that went from 45 deals to 160 deals. You know, that changed the dude's life. Absolutely.  I want you guys to leave these events, not only just filling the energy and everything, but also I want you to view your career as a, you know, wow, this is what's possible in five years. This is what's possible in 10 years.  Right? And that's what I want for all of you guys. And you guys know that I'm sitting here trying to create as many diamonds as possible. Okay? In my coaching program, there's Gems, Emeril, Ruby, Blue Sapphire, Sapphire, Black Diamond and Diamond, okay? Goes through the achievement levels. I'm trying to create as many diamonds, which is a million dollars a year in income, okay? The closest one I got right now is Quintavius. He did a half a million dollars last year. It was very first year in real estate, one of my coaching students. He's the closest one I have right now that I know of that's on record. Trying to get him there as quick as possible and then create second one, third one, fourth one, fifth one, 20th one, 40th one, 100. So that's where we're at guys. I love you so much. I hope to see you in Naples or Atlanta. Joe, I'll see you next week brother. Yeah baby, have a good one. Later guys.


Different product and services and for years already because we set up our minds when talking about risk assessments. We have tried to adapt product and services so to make sure that they are enough open to entitle other parties to use the product and services of the UPU. And think about for instance the clearing system or such kind of things or IT product and services which are open standards. The idea is to prepare the UPU product and services to be used by more than just the two days customers.


The People's Democratic Party, PDP in Tarabah State, has called on the governorship candidate of the NNPP in the just-concluded polls to concede a defeat rather than heat the polity with sponsored protest. PDP condemned a protest purportedly staged by NNPP members at the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Abuja. The protesters demanded, among others, an outright cancellation of Tarabah polls, while addressing the media in Jolingo. The party PRO in the state described the action as uncalled for and provocative, since there is constitutional process through which they could address the aggressions. He further described the protest as a brazen affront on democracy, adding that Tarabah electorates are prepared to defend the votes. Tarabah is a peaceful state. In fact, he has that option by the electoral law to go to the tribunal while demonstrating in Abuja. I think I should say at this point that if he wants to instigate some section of the state against constitutional authority, it will hold him responsible for any form of breakdown of law and order in Tarabah state.


And just to add to more memorable moments, I think I have had many, right? So I vividly remember the night that we have launched, right? The first post posted on social media with the rocket flying high. And I think we still aim to fly high and to bring the best that we can to the market. So that's that, plus about more moments, right? I think the first like that we got, the first follower we got. And now we thought, okay, it will be quite hard to build the whole community. And yet here we are a year after and we have listened over 800 followers on LinkedIn, almost 500 on Facebook. This is all amazing. And it just makes us grow and makes us so proud. So thank you for being with us. This is great to be here for you. And we are hoping, you know, that the community will continue to grow, of course. And perhaps now on a more serious note, we were all very moved and shocked by the start of the war in Ukraine, by the Russian invasion into Ukraine. And then Amniska came up with this idea of how to try to help people show solidarity. That's right. I remember, I mean, as being in Poland, we are very close to the situation. And, you know, really are in this geographical and historical position as a country. So as an AVT masterclass, we're thinking, you know, what we can do to help. So we were thinking what we could do and we came up with actually these two ideas, right? So what we did, we are still offering three courses to all Ukrainian linguists that are willing to learn subtitling, to learn individual translation, you know, in an effort perhaps to counter the spread of misinformation and to help spread the news in Ukrainian. So if you're Ukrainian and if you're looking for a course in subtitling, please reach out to us. That's one thing we're doing and the other thing we did in March 2020. We decided to give all the money that we earned in this month in March to Ukrainian Red Cross. And here I think we want to thank everyone who actually purchased courses in this month and have actively contributed to helping people in Ukraine. So thank you very much for this. And I was also surprised by the scale of that response. So quite a lot of our students did buy different products, different courses in March and we were able to donate quite a lot of money to the Ukrainian Red Chorus. We also got a lot of response from Ukraine, from Ukrainian language, also based all over the world. Many of them reached out to take the courses. Many of them sent us very heartfelt messages and they were very grateful for our support. So that was also a moving moment at that time. Yeah, a big thank you also from me to everyone who bought the course back then. And also this is quite still a thing for us that people are still coming, right? So our proposal is not over. Meaning you can still, if you're Ukrainian, you can still come to us, apply for the course and we're more than happy to share the access codes with you so that you can enjoy the course and learn a new skill. Another thing that we perhaps didn't expect, at least I didn't expect a year ago, was that we would be able to create so many courses, so much content. We now have a growing portfolio of courses and we have so many plans, so many new courses in the pipeline. We keep inventing new ideas for trading materials, for new ways to help you guys learn new skills, new knowledge. So I think the bottom line about AVT Masterclass is that we are just starting and there's a very long path ahead of us with many, many more things that you can expect from us. That's right. So we have those three courses that we've started with, right? We're trying to decide what was the right angle and we started with fundamentals and now we're moving on. Actually, in response to the feedback we got from many people saying, you know, I know how to supply code and on the basics, can you please make some more advanced courses? So here they are. So hopefully everybody will find something useful for them. If only the week was longer, right? We could produce more, but hopefully we'll be able to meet all the needs and come up with courses that will meet your expectations on either level, right? So whether you are just starting or you are already advanced, you will find there's something for you. So we're wishing a very happy birthday to AVT Masterclass and a very good day to all of you, our students. And we hope to be able to keep bringing you good educational content, new skills, new knowledge over the next year. See you in nine.
