My facial cleansing brush from Cleviso. I have the pink one. It also comes in blue. This is amazing. It has a skin friendly brush head that's suitable for all skin types. It's non-toxic. It has that soft silicone brush head with high density bristles. So it delivers a skin friendly touch and gentle care for your face. So you want to be really careful with our face. It's widely suitable for all skin types, even for sensitive skin. The brush head is designed to remove residual makeup, grease, blackheads and more, leaving your skin feeling fresh, refreshed and clean. It has high frequency vibration, really gets in and deep cleans your pores. The vibration is up to about 8,000 times per minute. So you get that really good deep cleanse. You can select and customize the intensity adjustment. So a little bit less intense for sensitive skin, oily skin or acne prone skin. And I love that the brush is fully adjustable for your preferences. It's waterproof and portable, easy to use and easy maintenance. All you do is charge it with any USB port. It's really easy to use.  Gently move the brush in circular motions around your face for about 1 to 2 minutes. Rinse your face with water and pat it dry. Turn off the brush and rinse the brush head also with water. Wipe the brush dry with a clean towel and store it in a dry place. I just store mine in the box that it came in. This facial brush has really changed the skincare game for me. I feel like it really gets all of my makeup off and I'm someone that double cleanses anyways. And this just removes all of that makeup residue and really just gets in and cleans my pores. I feel like my skin is refreshed and ultra clean, which is really important, especially as we age. We have to take care of our skin, especially the skin on our face. It's sensitive, it's thinner and we really need to give it the utmost respect. And this Clavizo facial brush is amazing. So I'll link it down below for you with a special discount code. Definitely check it out. Good morning. Welcome to today's What I Eat in a Day. I had an amazing walk this morning as you saw. It was 71 degrees at 5 a.m. It was beautiful. I saw maybe two people on my walk. So it was absolutely lovely. I did have my protein coffee and I am about to go into the kitchen to make some breakfast. We have a really busy, exciting day today. First of all, my hair. If you didn't know, I got my hair done about a week ago and I went from my blonde balayage to this more sultry, dark look. This is just much less maintenance for me. The blonde balayage was hard to keep. The blonde blonde without it becoming brassy, covering up all the gray that I have up here. And I just was ready for something different. So we went with this more brown vibe with a little bit of highlight around the face and underneath.  And I'm loving it. You guys have been loving it. I've posted in my Facebook group and on my Instagram. And thank you for all the kind words. You guys really like me, have embraced the darker hair. And like me, like it a lot better. And like I said, my hair is healthier and it's much more lower maintenance. We also purchased an adjustable bed. Now this was something that we've been wanting to purchase for a very long time.  He can't sleep flat. So he's been using this foam wedge that we bought off of Amazon a couple of years ago. And we're now in the market for a new mattress and we thought, what better time to take advantage of needing a new mattress and buy an adjustable bed. They are not inexpensive. I was actually quite surprised at how expensive beds in general are, especially adjustable beds. But it was an investment that was needed for us, especially for Troy. We can get rid of that foam wedge that falls on the floor several times during the night. And it's just going to be a lot better for him. It's a lot better for me. If you didn't know, I've been sleeping on the couch since I got home from my surgery because I'm just not able to lay flat in the bed. So I'll be able to adjust the bed for me as well while I continue to recover. So that is coming this morning. We bought new sheets. We bought a new comforter. We ended up getting a king bed. That's what we have in our bedroom, but we got the split king so that Troy is able to elevate his legs and I'm able to adjust my side. I'm typically a stomach sleeper, so I can't have my legs elevated or it's just really uncomfortable. So we decided to go with the split. So we had to buy new sheets. We're really excited. So I'll show you guys our current bed. I'll show you guys the new bed.  We kind of became friends through the process. I haven't seen her in a while, so we're going to go have some coffee. It's just a busy day. We need to clean the house today. We have lots of laundry to do. We're putting together a big donation of all of our old bedding and things. We're washing that, getting that ready to donate. So we actually have an incredibly, incredibly busy day today. So I wanted to be comfortable today, but also be cute since I'm going out for coffee. So I thought I would share with you my outfit of the day, my OOTD. But before I share my outfit, I know I'm going to get questions on what eyeshadow I'm wearing. You guys are always curious what makeup I'm wearing. So today I'm actually wearing the Italian Spritz palette from Too Faced. I bought this on a whim and I actually really like this palette. So I have a lot of these orangey tones on my lid and then I popped in some blue on my lower lash line for some fun color. So I'll link that down below for you. I have the new Velma Gloss from GlamLight with their Scooby-Doo collection on for that little bit, orange-er lip. So I'll link my palette and stuff down below for you. And then for my outfit today, I'm really excited to be partnering with the event Sportswear for this portion of the video. You know that I've shared the event with you guys multiple times in the past. They're pretty much the only sports bra I wear. I wear a lot of their workout clothes to boot camp and when I'm going to the gym. And I decided to invest in a few more pieces at post-op, little bit smaller sizes, a little bit more comfortable pieces to wear as I'm still recovering, but getting back into working out, which by the way, I am fully released back to normal life as of July 1st. So I will be going to boot camp, I will be going to the gym. I'm really excited. So first let me share with you what I'm wearing today. This little top right here is so buttery soft and so incredibly comfortable. This is the Anywhere V-neck side knot yoga t-shirt. It actually comes in black and white in sizes extra small through extra large. I have mine in a size large in black and it is oversized. I could have definitely sized down to a medium, even a small. So if you are plus size, you could go with a larger extra large and it's likely that it would fit you. There are size guides on the event website. So make sure you're checking the size guides. But you can see that this is very oversized. It's very flowy. I love the V-neck with the cap sleeve and the little knot detail on the side is so cute. And it is long enough that you could wear it with biker shorts or leggings or denim shorts. This doesn't necessarily have to be a yoga or workout top. This is an everyday top. It's more of a elevated t-shirt and I am loving this. And then I've wanted a pair of these hybrid shorts for a while where it kind of looks like a skirt but then has the biker short underneath. I fell in love with this color of the Sculpt Scalloped 2-in-1 running shorts. It comes in both the peachy color that I have in black sizes, extra small through extra large. I pitch mine up in a size large and these fit me perfectly. I love that they have the built in biker short camouflage as my loose skin. And then this flowy scallop design conceals a lot of the problem areas, hips, thighs, stomach and gives you more of a flowy dressed up look. I actually think it's really cute with this t-shirt. It would be adorable with a fitted maybe ribbed tank top. You can use these again as everyday pieces or as workout pieces. Again, great for running because they have the built in biker short. And then I picked up a couple of sports bras because like I said, I live in Yvette sportswear, sports bras for the price. They are some of the best quality. I mean, we're talking like Lululemon dupe for a much more affordable price. So I had to get this kind of peachy colored bra. Not only do I love the color, but I love the style of this. This is the Power V-neck cross back padded running bra. It actually comes in about eight different colors and sizes small all the way through five XL. It's very size inclusive. There is something for everyone. I love this. I wanted this for boot camp because it's very supportive. And once I'm able to remove my support garment that I have to wear for about the next four weeks, I wanted a sports bra that was just as supportive for working out. Again, I love the color. I love the kind of mesh detail here with the breathability. The back of this is so cute. It is a strappy back and it does have adjustable straps. I have pretty small shoulders. So I typically have to really adjust the straps to get that support in my shoulders. This is so cute, so comfortable. It does have the clasp in the back with the three different notches. Super, super stretchy. I love this color. I'm probably going to pick up a couple more colors. And this is just a really good high support sports bra.  You know that I'm still unable to fully lift my arms over my head and like pull my arms all the way back. So these zip front or button front bras are essential for me right now. And again, I wanted to get one that was just a solid black. I also love the back of this. It is a full coverage back, which I very much appreciate. It does add that extra bit of support.  I had a lot of that. So this type of bra comes in really handy. This is the PowerZip adjustable bra. This is a running bra. There's also a high support bra. Comes in four different colors. And again, sizes small through five XL. Love the zip front. Love the adjustable straps. Really, really love the high support, high coverage back. Again, I need two really good high support bras to get back to working out here in just a couple of weeks. And the price of these and the quality of these, you can't beat it. And you know, I love a jacket. I love a good jacket, especially to wear to boot camp when it's a little bit chillier in the mornings. I don't have that problem so much now in the summer, but spring, fall, winter, I wear a jacket to boot camp. I often wear a jacket when I walk to the gym. And I love the more performance style of jackets. This is the Shipped Mocneck Thumbhole Full Zip jacket. It actually comes in black and a beautiful blue color. Sizes medium through three XL. I picked mine up in a large and for a sports jacket, sports kind of fitted jacket, this one is a little bit oversized. I probably could have got this in a medium. So if you're between sizes, I feel like you'd be okay to size down. This is buttery soft. It is the performance material. I love the little detail along the back. It has all of the ribbing. So it draws in and contours the body. It does have thumb holes, which I very much appreciate. A Mocneck and is a full zip jacket. This is so cute, so comfortable. I live in these types of jackets. And for the price, again, the quality is fantastic. And remember, if you are between sizes, you could probably size down in the jacket. And then this was something I was super excited to see on their website. This is a new product for Yvette. This is a cross body bag. Now this could be used for the gym, the pool, for travel. This is absolutely adorable. This is the adjustable drawstring gym cross body bag. It actually comes in black and kind of a taupe color. I picked mine up in black. I love the orange detail. I mean, it goes with the bra, it goes with my shorts. I love that this is a cross body design. You have quite a few pools in my community and I love to go lay by the pool, go swimming in the summer. And I thought, how perfect would this be? So I could walk to the pool and put my towel in here, my sunscreen, snacks, water. Again, fantastic for travel, fantastic for the gym. I love the size of this. It does have the zipper on the front and it is a good sized bag. There's some extra zippers on the inside. The strap is fully adjustable and I love just the orange detail. This bag is so cute. It is a waterproof material. It'd be great for the beach. The sand would just fly right off of this. And again, great for the pool, travel, the gym. This is adorable. And probably my favorite thing of this little haul. So that's everything that I picked up from Yvette. So that's my outfit of the day, the eyeshadow palette that I have on today. Don't forget I will link everything down below for you. And I do have a very special discount for you from Yvette. So I will put that down in the description box. I'll link each of these pieces separately if you're interested in what I showed you. And I'll put the Yvette website so you can do some shopping. Highly recommend and thank you again to Yvette for working with me for this portion of today's video. I love Yvette sportswear and I can't wait to pick up some more pieces. So let's make some breakfast. We have to start getting the bed ready. They are supposed to deliver between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. this morning. So we're going to get our bed basically broken down, get all the bedding in the wash vacuum under it, get ready for the new bed. So I'm quickly going to have some breakfast. I decided to go ahead and make a breakfast sandwich. I do have one of these Thomas protein, cinnamon and protein English muffins left. The cinnamon is pretty mild. So I do still use these for regular breakfast sandwiches. So we're going to toast that up. I am going to do one egg and I just cooked that in my little microwave, a cooker. I bought this on Amazon. I'll link it down below for you. And then I add one slice of Canadian bacon and one slice of Sargento ultra thin cheese. And I make this really delicious breakfast sandwich. And then I have a couple big chunks of watermelon left. I'm going to finish up those as well. And here's my breakfast. This looks so good. So there's the egg, the Canadian bacon, the cheese and then those big hunks of watermelon. These plates, by the way, I bought off of Amazon. I love them. They come with six different colors and they kind of have this rough terracotta edge. I've been really focusing on using smaller plates just to watch my portions a little bit more. So I'll link these down below for you as well but this is going to be my breakfast. So we just got everything ready for the bed. We got everything cleaned out. We pulled the old mattress off the old box spring. We've got everything washing, all the stuff we're going to donate. And then we realized we forgot to buy a power strip when we were out buying the bedding this weekend and they recommended having a power strip just for surge protection for the adjustable bed. So I'm making a quick run to fries for a power strip and then Troy wants something sweet, maybe some mini cookies or something. So we're on our way to fries. All right, what do I choose? I definitely want to get a pretty high quality one. They do have some really inexpensive ones down here but this adjustable bed costs a lot of money so I want to make sure we don't have any issues. So I'm going to get this one because it has six outlets and a thousand for surge protection. These other ones have like 750, 400 and then these actually, these inexpensive ones, they don't have any. So I am going to go with this guy for $14.99. And I'm picking up a refill of the mini sugar cookies. So here is the before. So this is our current mattress, our current set up. So we're still able to use our bed frame. We just have a different, we don't have a box spring anymore. It has the adjustable bed and then the new mattresses. Of course, like I mentioned, we got new bedding. So you'll get to see that as we change that out as well. We got one adjustable bed. So there's two bedding. Yeah, there's not much to it for thousands of dollars. Two of these. Yeah, two of those. He said he might have to take out this one of the support. So we'll just have to see. So they're getting ready to put the adjustable bed frames in, plug them into that surge protector we picked up. Right there she is in all her glory. We're going to go ahead and put our new sheets and everything on the bed, the base that we got actually vibrates, has a light, does the head, the lumbar and feet. So we're really excited. Oh, so I've been outside this whole time. Palmer, let's get you. All right, here you go. Good job waiting outside for the mattress people. Good job. All right, she's in. We ordered some king size pillowcases on Amazon. They're not here yet. So we're using our old tan colored ones, but we did get these kind of fun cream, tan, orange pillowcases and sheets from JC Penney. And we also got this comforter because we wanted to add a little bit of pop of color in our bedroom. This bed is so much higher than our old one. Palmer stairs used to go to the top of the mattress and now they're like a foot down. And the bedding matches the picture we have in our bedroom too. So that is the new adjustable bed. So Troy's giving you an example. So his side moves independently from my side. That's why we did the two twins. So our sheets are actually twin excels and then the comforter is a king. That way when the bed separate and change, it doesn't cause a gapping in the sheet.  Lola, come on.  Okay, show them how to raise the head in the, there's the feet. So this is perfect for Troy so he can elevate his legs at night. We'll sleep under the comforter so there won't be that gapping. So this is what would have happened with the sheets if we wouldn't have gotten twin. There would have been that big hump in the sheets because I don't elevate my legs at night. So it goes really, really, really high. So that's perfect for him. And then he can adjust his head too. And when you're watching TV, you can adjust it up so you can sit and watch TV. So this side is mine and Lola's side. That side is Palmer's. Yeah, you and your daddy's side. Do you want to get on the new bed? Look, come here. Get on the new bed and Lola, up here. Some of my homemade trail mix before I head out the door here in about a half of an hour to meet the realtor for coffee. So I have some candied pecans, Lily's white chocolate chips, raw almonds, freeze-dried, no sugar added blueberries and pumpkin seeds. I love making my own trail mix. It just makes it so much healthier and you can control everything that goes into it. So I am on my way to meet the realtor for coffee. She actually had reached out. I actually reached out to her because my next door neighbor is moving away, which I'm completely bummed out about and they have to sell their house. And I was telling her how great our realtor was. So she wanted her contact information. So we started a conversation and then she invited me to go have coffee with her today, which I'm excited about. I haven't seen her since right after we moved here. Her and I went and had coffee, I would say like one or two months after we moved to Arizona. And I haven't seen her since. Oh, that's actually not true. I saw her at the gym once. Speaking of the gym, a little more updates on working out. So according to the surgery team, I'm able to work out at six weeks. So I am released to normal life, they said as of July 1st. I'm still going to listen to my body and just make sure that my body is ready for all of that.  It was just pulling on the incision and things that they were worried about. So I should be able to lift my arms over my head. As of right now, there's no way that I could do full boot camp. I mean, I can't run. It hurts to run. I actually had to run out the gate a little bit this morning. So I didn't miss the gate closing and it hurt. So I don't see myself running or doing burpees or that type of thing at boot camp. I'm going to have to make some modifications for a while just until I'm fully able to get back to boot camp 100%. But I'm so happy to go back to normal life. I'm so happy. After we have coffee, we are going to have some lunch. I have a really good dinner recipe to share with you guys today. We love our new bed. Absolutely love our new bed. It is perfection. I can't wait to actually sleep in the bed tonight. That's going to be a big change of pace for me. I'm a little tired today. I didn't sleep the best last night. The couch isn't the best place to sleep for me. I'm up and down a lot. I'm moving around, readjusting a lot, especially because it does have pressure and tension if I try to lay in different positions. So I'm excited to try sleeping in the bed tonight. I'm hoping that I get a really, really good night sleep. So this little second bit of coffee is coming in clutch today. I'm going to make myself a big salad for lunch. I have been craving a salad. So let me show you what I'm going to first put in my salad and then what I'm going to use for protein. So I'm going to do a mix of crispy lettuce, which is basically green leaf lettuce, baby spinach. And then I do like to add in a little bit of fresh basil. It just gives it some really good flavor. I have these cherry tomatoes, sliced mushrooms. I also have some diced up red onion and some light shredded cheese. And then I made this vinaigrette a few days ago for a salad, I'm going to finish it up. I will go ahead and put here on the screen what is in my vinaigrette. I just make this at home. It's a great way to control what's in your dressing and you can control calories, fat, all of that in your salad dressing.  So I'm going to throw a couple of these in my air fryer. That's going to give me 17 grams of protein and I just dice it up and throw it on top of my salad. So here is my lunch. This looks amazing. So I did two of the just bear chicken strips for my 17 grams of protein, about a tablespoon of the light cheese. The dressing is well as lots and lots of veggies. So I'll go ahead and put points, calories, macros here on the screen for you. So for dinner tonight, I am making a chicken and leek pie. This is a super, super easy recipe. We use pre-made potatoes, just some leeks, some spinach, some cheese, really easy. So let me show you what you'll need. First, you're going to need some chicken breast, Dijon mustard, minced garlic. I'm adding spinach for some extra greens, light shredded cheese, creme fraiche. And you guys so kindly let me know that you could substitute sour cream for this because she's expensive. So I got the creme fraiche. I'm going to use that, but there are substitutions you can make. And then I'm using the pre-made sour cream and chive Bob Evans potatoes again for ease. And then you'll need a couple of leeks. So my skillet warming up with some non-stick cooking spray.  So I'm going to add that. I also chopped up my leeks. So I'm going to add my leeks, big keeping scoop of minced garlic. And we're going to allow this to cook down. My chicken's about three quarters of the way cooked. So I'm going to add in this couple of handfuls of spinach and just allow that to wilt down with the chicken and the leeks. Next I'm going to add in my creme fraiche, Dijon mustard. And about half of my light shredded cheese.  Then we're going to remove the chicken from the heat. I'm going to preheat my oven to 375 degrees and we'll get this topped with the potatoes, some more cheese and get it into the oven. I went ahead and sprayed my glass casserole dish. This is a nine by nine with some non-stick cooking spray. We're going to add the chicken mixture. Then we're going to top it with the mashed potatoes, kind of like we were making a shepherd's pie. So spread those mashed potatoes out on top. And then lastly we're going to top it with the remainder of our light shredded cheese. And then it's going into our 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes or so, just until it is warmed through and the cheese is melted. Your potatoes will get a little bit browned as well. Dinner is out of the oven. This smells and looks delicious. This entire pot makes only six servings. So let me go ahead and plate it up and I'll be back to share points, calories and macros. So here is my dinner. This looks absolutely delicious. I did top it with a little bit of parsley. All of the information for dinner is here on the screen for you. Today's what I eat in a day on WW. I hope you enjoyed coming along with me today. We had a good day. We got a new bed. I mean, what could be better than that? We had coffee with friends. Such a fantastic day.

Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in the next one. Bye.


The ERC grant allowed me to achieve in five years what I would have done in 20 years. Professor Olivier Patrang does not disguise the immense importance of the ERC grant he received in 2007. The grant enabled the French professor of linguistics to build a world-class interdisciplinary team. We have philosophers, historians, linguists, paleographers, and we all work together in order to better understand the political science vocabulary. Based at the laboratory at TILF, in Angsi, Professor Patrang and his team are uncovering the history, meaning and evolution of the political science vocabulary and how it has evolved throughout the centuries. This work is based upon the first translation of St. Augustine's The City of God, in which political words and concepts emerged in the French language for the very first time. Here is the manuscript and here is the program on the computer that we use to make the transcription. So either with this format or with this format, so we can really make a very good edition of the text. In particular, Professor Patrang works on new words and concepts called neologisms and examines their evolution, for instance, the word democracy. The word democracy in French, democracy has been created at the end of the 14th century in France, in Paris, by a translator of Aristotle's politics. Today, when you look at people using this word, most of them use it with the meaning of liberty. According to Professor Patrang, excellence in his field of research is essentially all about working together with people from different fields of research. When asked about his dreams for the future, Professor Patrang also stresses the wish for more scientific collaboration across Europe. Actually, my academic dreams for the next decade would be to work with other specialists of the evolution of languages, but not only in French, but also in English, in German, in Spanish and other languages.


how to import your untracked products from Oberlo to AutoDS. When you are migrating your store from a different tool to AutoDS, you'll notice that the products that you have in your store will show up on AutoDS in the untracked product section. Let me show you what I mean. On the left side, click on products, and here you will see the products that are in your store and that are being monitored by AutoDS. But if you look here on the top, you'll notice that there is also untracked products. These are also products that you have in your Shopify store, but AutoDS needs some more information in order to be able to track and monitor them. So click on the untracked products to see the list of the products that you have in your store that AutoDS is currently not monitoring. And here you have the list of all of the products that you have in your store that AutoDS once again is currently not monitoring because some information is missing. Like you can see over here, you have the source ID, the supplier that the product belongs to, and the region that the supplier belongs to. Now you can fill in these fields manually one by one, but if you have a lot of products in your store, it just won't make sense to work this way. It is a time consuming method, especially if you have a lot of products on your store. So how do you get around this? Let me show you. Go to your Shopify dashboard. And if you click on products, once again, you'll notice all of the products that you have in your store. If I click on the checkbox up here, it'll choose all of my products. And as you see, there are 24 products in my store, which are the 24 products that we are seeing over here, four products which are being monitored because I added them using the add products button over here. But 20 more are on track because I came from over low with those products and I just added my store to AutoDS. So AutoDS is telling me, okay, I can see that you have these products on your Shopify store, but I need the source information to understand where these products are coming from so I can track them for you. So instead of filling in the fields one by one, the first thing that you need to do is download and install the AutoDS Helper Chrome extension. So just go to Google, write down AutoDS Helper, click on the first link, then you'll be taken to the Chrome Web Store. Well, you'll have the extension free to use and install. And once you install it, go back to your Shopify dashboard on the left menu, click on apps, then click on Oberlo. Once it loads up on the left side, click on the products. And now once you click on that, you'll notice on the bottom right right here that the AutoDS circle showed up. This is the AutoDS extension and he's going to help us track all of our products in just one click. Let me show you how it's done. Now make sure that on Oberlo, you're on the products page, otherwise you won't be seeing the AutoDS extension down here. And once you're here, go ahead and click on the extension and then click on extract. Over here, you'll see that the extension grabbed 15 products from here, even though we have 20 products. And the reason for that is because we have some duplicates over here, like this product with this one, this bag with this bag, this pencil with this pencil, this is an example to show you that the extension will not grab the same item twice. So this way, it'll avoid having duplicates on your store, which is a good thing. There is no reason to have the same item more than once on your shop. Therefore, out of the 20 products, the extension grabbed the 15 relevant ones. Now we're going to click on export as CSV. And as you can see, it downloaded an Oberlo export CSV file onto my computer. The next step is to head back to the AutoDS platform. And in the untracked products where we were at in products, and up here, we clicked on the 20 untracked products. And instead of staying in the manual column, click on add from CSV. Here you can drag and drop that CSV file or click to open up your file browser. Go to the folder where you downloaded that file and double click on it. And file is uploaded. Now after a few seconds, you'll notice that the products are being added to the product section on AutoDS, which means the products are in your store but are now also being monitored by AutoDS. And that is how simple it is to migrate your store and all of your products, whether it's 10, 20 or even 100,000 products from other tools like Oberlo to AutoDS, simply by using the AutoDS Helper Chrome extension, extracting the files, exporting it as a CSV file, and then importing that CSV file on the product section on the untracked link on the top. And once again, as you can see, all of the products are now being monitored, they're in my store and AutoDS is looking after them. Once again, that is how simple it is. And I hope that you guys now fully understand how to migrate your store from Oberlo or other platforms to AutoDS. And if you have any questions, don't forget that we have a knowledge base section on our website with help articles on pretty much any question that you can ask while using the AutoDS platform.

Yeah Well real quickly He mentions at one point in the video that so we're evolutionarily biologically adapted to being out in the wild And I I don't think you can refute that but I Don't understand his argument in the sense that he's talking about we should go back to that Which is I Guess the argument against that is that we were already there and where we are now is the culmination of Hundreds of clearly hundreds of thousands of years of effort to control using our minds which is our ultimate adaptive tool the Most powerful Biological adaption given to us and what sets us apart from every other species Where we are right now is the culmination of Us being in that exact environment that he proposes we should go back to so my point is that Even if we did go back there, we would ultimately Construct reconstruct I guess in this scenario Something I can't imagine too much different than what we Worked and Suffered to create currently so I think he's throwing the baby out with the bathwater in essence This is my argument there. We certainly are adapted to hunt and I Type for eight hours a day or stand on our feet for eight hours a day like he says I agree with him And I agree that uh, that's the malignant kind of portion of our society that should be Changed, but should be changed from within not without and The idea of the existential suicide going out in the wild is that's what he suggests it would be Well, Albert Camus says that the existential hero grapples with the absurdity Shift of the universe and decides to take complete Responsibility for his actions the inability to find this reason or the meaning of One's life is what leads to existential angst So our question is what is the meaning we're looking for? What is that meaning that would prevent existential angst? Suicide is an extreme form of existential angst where the man rejects the freedom begotten by the act of the being of Being responsible for his actions and gives into the inherent meaninglessness Of the world and I would say that again, I know I don't have the whole picture. I'm not in his head I'm not gonna profess to portray an accurate example of what he would Probably say if mean and we're having a in-person dialogue, but he did say in the video Video games will any any form of entertainment, but clearly he plays a lot of video games or used to at least is meaningless and Just a you know form of opiate a form of drug Cominducing drug, you know the opiate of the masses to Create the analogy of the analog of religion as said by Marx And so he believes that Essentially, he's not deriving any meaning from a lot of what he does because I assume he plays video games Yet, he still does it doesn't get meaning from it. Obviously doesn't get meaning from any past work. He did I think He's getting the most meaning out of making these videos, which would not be able to occur He would not be able to connect with half a million people on a regular basis If we didn't have technology and he was literally talking about not Allowing ourselves any technology whether it's a gun or even something as primitive as a fishing pole. I Mean, I guess he would he would try to create You know tool up an actual fishing pole at some point And perhaps he would find the most meaning in creating himself rather than Remnant of the civilization that he is denying should exist to to exist in his new Paradigm I heard something interesting Jordan Peterson said in an interview with Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin the other day This is me paraphrasing it, but he said meaning is Where you occupy the optimal position? In the dynamic space of existence, so and actually saw er do this do this Talking about alignment like when you're in nature, you feel like your being is aligned. I think all your concerns and desires are In sync and they're simultaneously being satisfied on all levels of your being and your and your concern things that are Well things that matter to you, I guess things that give you meaning and I think there's a lot of overlap and I'm really curious if he ever mentions Jordan Peterson in his videos because He ours actually made a couple videos about Carl Jung and obviously Jordan Peterson is Primarily Influenced by young although he's well-versed and a lot of other thinkers and psychologists and scientists Philosophers, but Carl Jung is who he most often attributes Quotes and ideas to of his and he says meaning is essentially where It it's an instinct. It's he calls it the instinctive meaning and I think that's such a profound concept that it's almost like We talk about fear and you know, it emotions being Instinctive and you can get into the the layers of the brain where we have most primordial Areas of the brain that we really can't control as easily as the upper layers of consciousness that we have There are most rational or in the outside the least rational most instinctive are in the core of our Brainstead and our small brain there reptilian brain and he thinks that meaning is an instinct and it's possibly the instinct the most important instinct that I Wrote it down to but I forgot where I wrote it, but um He discussed meaning being the instinct that Possibly allows us to make decisions It's like something like meaning is the evolved instinct to be able to accurately produce what we want in the future and Allow us to project ourselves in the right direction in the most meaningful direction in the future that will Give us the most satisfaction and happiness and pride and in our and what we've done. So when something Is meaningful to us when we're in an interaction. That's meaningful he's Peterson saying that that sense of meaning is actually an instinct that is manifesting itself and We can't articulate it rationally most of the time, but what that's doing evolutionarily Is telling us that what we're currently doing that's giving us meaning is the correct way That will lead us to our most optimal future position in the world and Jesus, I'm not I'm butchering that so terribly, but The way he said it, you know clearly he's been thinking about it for 40 years something like that. And so It just meant so much to me hearing that not ironically but meaningfully and so I Think what ER is essentially to boil down his argument If if I were asked to I would say that he's searching for meaning I would say that he wants This radical change in his life because he doesn't have enough meaning in it, which I think Might have been the case if he wasn't making these videos, but I think I Would find a guess I would say that these videos Other than his family because he clearly Values his family quite a bit. I Would say that these videos give him the most meaning in his life so my This this would be a good point to bring this Gansa some sources Sources here and we have so I didn't know anything about Hegel Fridrich Hegel I don't know the philosopher Hegel There's only one That matters apparently Fridrich and the arbitrary any criticism of the past or Present that was not accompanied by a an appreciation of the significance of tradition He said another war might well spread the ideals of the French Revolution without endangering the future of civilization And his interesting idea was that truth Comes to light gradually because they succeed, but in fact that they succeed because they're good And I think that ties into the idea of meaning and Our concept of good as it's evolved Like I think religion although it seems like it's very stagnant and stale it actually was kind of The glue and ironically if you try to dismiss religion It'd be hard If you really gave it its due because I think I don't think there's any tribe out there That doesn't have religion whether it's in the Amazon or modern day or if it's 3,000 10,000 years ago and it's hard. It's really hard to dismiss the fact that if religion is present in every existing unit of Or group I guess you could say human group of humans in the world and Wouldn't you have to say that religion? There's some correlation between the existence of a group's religion and their Ability to successfully recreate and further their particular society I think It's a pretty good argument In other words the groups that didn't have religion were Our wynistically evolutionarily did not succeed Only the ones that did were able to perhaps find enough meaning in life or perhaps it was the the cultural Cohesion that religion offered that allowed it to maintain stability and Perpetuate truths that otherwise might not have been able to be taken seriously enough you know truths like sacrifice and And then the Subservience of the king to the idea of a king so Yeah, that side of the argument I feel like I if I didn't flesh it out good enough at least I've spent enough time on it I Don't I feel like I'm beating the dead horse again, but I think I really wanted to see this party here Was that there's an ultimate purpose and that's freedom and this furnishes a standard of judgment Freedom is the ultimate purpose and that's the part I really agree with you are on is that he He ultimately He just wants us to be free as individuals, but my argument against that is that yeah, we're very much so we're slaves you can you can You can make that argument quite easily, you know, well Especially in the third world countries You don't have many degrees of freedom to work your way up the hierarchy, but I think in order to Create the situation where we were no longer slaves that would require the cult that would be the culmination of a Significant or majority of individuals within that society to shoulder the burden of Making them making the best out of their own lives and making the most out of their own abilities and talents and skills such that the unit of civilization is actually nothing but the product of a Large number of individuals within it that make it up. I think that's all it really is society is the unit of society only matters in so much as it's It is the Emergent unit created by the group created by the Cooperation of a series of individuals within it. So in other words it the individuals make up the society they are the fundamental unit and The unit of society and civilization in general is dependent on the individual That's what I think is most profound about Peterson's argument And that's why his study of communism led him to believe that the unit is the individual The individual is the unit that is most should most be prioritized over the group It's why he's against communism fascism and group identity politics. I think that's in a nutshell His view in a nutshell it doesn't support it but explains and at least posits his Establishes his position at least I want to Elaborate on that for a second because he says all that matters from a Darwinian perspective is permanence and this is Yes, this is in the first first chapter first first rule which is stand up straight With your shoulders back, which is something. I haven't done this whole episode. You're trying to figure out what's real in truth after I don't know if you guys have listened, but he had a I got two or three hour episode Dialogue with Sam Harris About the nature the fundamental nature of truth. What is truth truth is and Sam's idea It's objective reality entirely severed From any perspectives that would come from a subject of being He believes in objective the objective existence of matter energy And the laws that govern them. That's it Peterson Is a lot more open to a view of truth at least he's open to the idea that we don't understand truth enough to make a Definite statement about what it is Or even what box we might be able to put it in currently what he believes is that He only knows what's real so we won't talk about truth. We'll talk about reality and He knows that from evolutionary biology archaeology it is What is real is what has existed What is the common thread essentially he looks at all of what we're able to evolutionarily study and he recognizes the dominance hierarchy, however social oh He recognizes it as the dominance hierarchy he says this hierarchy however Social or cultural it might appear to be it's been around for about half a billion years Half a billion years. It's permanent. It's real. It's not capitalism not communism, but It's not even a human creation in the most profound sense, and yeah, I'm gonna throw this one in just Just for you it is instead a near eternal aspect of the environment And much of what is blamed on these more ephemeral manifestations is a consequence of its unchanging existence We've lived in dominance hierarchies for a long long time We were struggling for position before we had skin hands lungs or bones There's a little more natural than that. Now. He says there's little more natural than culture Dominance hierarchies are older than trees And that's where he's known for his lobster for being affiliated with Teaching about the lobster The part of our brain that keeps track of our position in the dominance hierarchy is therefore exceptionally ancient and fundamental He goes on to say that That's why it affects every aspect of our being when we're defeated That's why we act very much like lobsters who have lost a fight Our posture drops. We face the ground. We don't do anything to improve We get chronically depressed So he's saying the basic neurochemistry is the same. Yeah, so we have a Considered serotonin the chemical that governs posture and escapes in the lobstern and escape in the lobster low ranking lobsters produce comparatively low levels of serotonin This is also true of low raking raking human beings. It means Decreased confidence low serotonin means more response to stress in a cost you costlier physical Preparedness for emergency. So what he's saying is that on a fundamental instinct that we have is our ability to recognize Where we are on the dominance hierarchy and he says that regulates our mood and everything about us our being It's it's ingrained. It's a fundamental part of our psyche And when we know we're at the bottom, we're much more aware of our susceptibility to Really abuse in any form of Negative interaction Much more aware of our vulnerabilities when we're at the top. We have a lot more serotonin flowing through our brains and we're much more We're able to much We're able to take a hit we're able to take a loss as they say taking out with much less Risk, you know because if you're already at the top There's a long way down before you hit the bottom So there's plenty of room to play there and there's plenty of room to work your way up and Even if you take a loss and you're near the top, you're still gonna be better. You're gonna be in your mind and as long as you're Intune enough with reality and everybody else's mind then you're gonna still be well ahead of the curve and therefore you don't really have any reason to Feel that that anxiety of losing nearly as much as someone who has not worked their way up to the top so Goes on just this is this is why I like having The physical copy of the book so I can underline because I underline the shit out of my books.  I feel so anyways so he's talking about once you acknowledge the fact that the importance of Recognizing that our normal neurochemistry is controlled from these really ancient numbers I guess of These really ancient instruments in our brain that that are constantly constantly Aware of our place on the hierarchy within our society That's when the awakening occurs and he says when once naive people Recognizing themselves the seeds of evil and monstrosity They see themselves as dangerous or at least potentially and their fear decreases they develop more self-respect and I Just skipped a bunch of pages, but he's talking about once you recognize the ability Once you recognize that we derive meaning from Where we perceive our place on the dominance hierarchy in that a Low place in the dominance hierarchy often comes from being undisciplined and Lacking responsibility taking responsibility for things all things I can relate to and I feel it. Maybe you know could very much be What's the word some sort of some form of bias in this or whatever and I'm just projecting myself on to what I'm learning Could very well be that but at the same time It's hard to deny the reality of Everything he says. I mean there is clearly a hierarchy clearly feel bad when we're down Clearly feel better when we're up discipline responsibility for your actions Sacrifice for your future Being aware that every little decision you make adds up to a summation of your emergent Identity and therefore every time you fuck up every time you make a Irresponsible or cowardly decision that just makes you a little bit smaller makes your psyche feel a little bit weaker all those things and Conversely every time you make a decision that you're proud of that aligns your being and The way you feel in the hierarchy the way you feel About to give to those that you care about to the ideas that you care about such as your yourself your family your loved ones your Friends and extrapolating out further and further into a broader scope your your community Your city your your your state your government your your nation Ultimately for wise enough of our species and ultimately all life and ultimately being itself maybe and And yeah, it has a rippling transformative effect and he's saying the way to overcome the fear and the the grossly apparent anxiety of taking on the burden of For responsibility for your own life in your position in the hierarchy That's that fear can be Superceded by knowledge of reality that Whether you're at the top or the bottom of the hierarchy you have the capacity as a human to know how a human that knows how How you can be hurt therefore you can extrapolate because we are thinking the thinking Species after all can easily extrapolate how to make other people suffer as well because we know what makes us suffer So Wherever you occupy your position in the hierarchy You have that capacity for evil. It's within you to be a monster Whether it's a cowardly weak resentful bitter monster or a powerful Capable competent monster either way you're you have that capacity within you and his argument Very very distilled down and well, maybe not distilled, but very simplified is that it's Much better and you can rationally write it out to run away from the cowardly aspect and move towards the noble competent aspect of being a monster and that the ideal that we should all strive for is To be a Civilized monster. We should have the capacity and we should know furthermore that we have the capacity to do do evil not not because it's some Delusion of You know positive delusions. I think Pearson always references being ridiculous because you You can't found confidence can't can't the fun the foundation of your confidence be Riding on top of a shaky delusion that everything's good.  So why not be consciously aware of it and be? Confident that you know you're capable of evil and it's not just gonna come to you he dismisses in every aspect the ability to Just have it manifest it comes through action and his whole point is to take action and take Responsibility as an individual in our society and then the culmination of all those individuals one full in fact produce Civilization that we want to live in that we Are actually not inclined to call cancer So yeah, once you develop that I think a pretty cool positive message from it to me was you develop more self-respect and perhaps You begin to Resist oppression So that's cool. You know, I think I tackled everything that I wanted to in the video Surprisingly, I agree with ER that You're well more Beyond advanced technologically relative to our As he said our behavior so Behaviorally or morally I would say the name of that is that the behavior The morals that have informed our behaviors for years Have Got us through evolutionarily the last hundred thousand years maybe quarter million years who knows Who knows how old the the myths and stories of religion that religions based off of? are really along we've been telling similar stories about heroes and about Inspiring individuals that we could try to emulate in that in fact doing so helps the individual Thereby the group that that individual belongs to Improve their lot in life and position technologically and hierarchically Relative to other groups. So it's an evolutionarily very Adaptively beneficial Existing cultural phenomenon mean if you will Religion is But nonetheless, yeah, I think it's like we've been using Flint tools for a quarter million years We wouldn't really if we had We wouldn't be in the we wouldn't have You know gotten past agriculture We definitely wouldn't have been able to build the pyramids let alone a large a drunk lighter. So I think there's a very important and very sincere case to be made and very Very practical very relevant very Well very important for our for the future of humanity to be made that we need to somehow Advance everybody's concept beyond our ancient morals created by the laws that we've been following for hundreds of thousands of years and in its more Contemporary form for at least 2000 or at you know to be Give it to maybe only 500 years. So maybe it has shifted a little bit, but it's far far behind Where it should be to be able to regulate nuclear weapons that could destroy literally Scorched earth literally Be able to inform The morals behind our ability to scorch the entire earth destroy The biosphere of an entire planet our morals are not up to date. I agree with them 100% on that and I think that's I Think that's his position relatively so Without God, I the more I listen to J.B.P. I believe that the idea of God Aside from the proclamation that he as an entity exist or not Is so so important to us that we shouldn't dismiss it and I think ERC's that he Recognizes that they're there there may be a God because of the Fermi paradox. Basically, he references he even mentions that Which is explained what he mentions that it's very improbable and There might be credit to the idea of a God some sort of creation creator that Explains the fact that We have discovered literally trillions of stars Among just our local group of galaxies alone yet. We have no evidence whatsoever of intelligent civilization And he thinks that's ridiculous. He thinks that's drastically improbable and I'm I'm in complete agreement with him on that so I think the Fermi paradox is something that tries to Encapsulate that idea in a phrase you know to organize it in our minds that We should definitely see It's very very improbable that we're the only ones in this galaxy. We're the only planet That life is formed on intelligent life at least But Going back to the idea of God Nietzsche is important in that realm Says that evolutionarily we evolved with the idea of God. So whether we think Technology has disproved that because God filled all these Man because Because God I think it's statement answer to our lack of knowledge and a Lot of those areas that were attributed to God prior to 300 years ago 500 years ago Are now being explained very logically and practically scientifically He's in Nietzsche it believes that that's a that's a fallacy to Again throw the baby out with the bathwater just because we're able to explain some phenomena It does not necessarily mean that we can extrapolate that and explain all phenomena eventually because we haven't yet and Some things such as consciousness are literally inexplicable right now And are in fact so Complex and we have so little understanding of how they work that it's Although we can leave room for the possibility that That there is no God We'd be unwise and haughty and mendacious as Nietzsche likes to say a lot that to assume that we Already know enough to be able to eventually Figure it all out. So It's just why is not to put the cart before the horse as they say and just assume that Based on our scientific capabilities our technological advancements we've essentially Discover all there is to know such as a Lot of people made in the 1800s talking about the cosmos thinking that Our galaxy was the universe when in fact no it was Really incomprehensibly Not such a small part of the universe that we actually even know about today, so Yeah, so I think the idea of nihilism can be refuted just based on the fact that There is meaning that that we actually feel if you didn't feel meaning then why would you care about living with other people and dating Why would you give a shit about your family? Jordan Peterson's argument that suffering Is the one thing you can't deny and the absence of suffering is good Therefore and meaning is created instinctively based on relationships and experience in the world mostly pertaining to developing cultivating skills that that that we can use to benefit are the ones we care about and Therefore society walking the line between order and chaos and constantly pushing our boundaries and limits and expanding our abilities He thinks that That is enough evidence for meaning that that it's a You know obviously it's a very simple simplified argument But he thinks that's enough to refute the concept of nihilism where nothing has any meaning because The universe is gonna just If we extrapolate our knowledge currently, it's just gonna end in the heat death of osmosis in 500 trillion years or something like that. All right. I think I covered everything I wanted to hear so Other than I think I pretty much Well wanted to maybe mention that the medical issues alone regarding going back to a primitive lifestyle with preclude that from happening ever I Don't know what his technical specific argument against that would be but I don't really see a way out of that I mean Do we destroy all of civilization except for hospitals and and the institutions that allow us to create doctors like universities I Don't see how that's possible You are if you're listening I hope There's no way in hell you actually got to the end of this video even if you did click on it, so The way out some of this gets to you and We can have a dialogue about this because I think you're an intelligent inspiring creative Courageous dude and I Think you have a lot to offer Not just ASMR community, but I think you have a lot of really good ideas, and I just wanted to try to just have a little fun Maybe open the dialogue with you about these interesting ideas that you're putting forth, so I'm gonna leave it there guys and let me know what you think in the comments subscribe like those comments really do keep this channel going If you really think you're getting something out of it, of course, you have the option to donate Bitcoin I'll have to set up an Ethereum account apparently bitcoins Not the only way people like donating crypto currencies and Yeah, I know way, you know Want to try to push that on people it's just very Very inspiring very encouraging for me to see that if you throw a buck or two of my way. That's so cool so very cool and I enjoy doing this, so I hope to increase My ability to put out they'll be you guys and it just means a lot, so if you enjoyed this Let me know what you think. I'm sure I'm gonna get plenty of insightful Critical comments other than yeah, I would encourage you guys to give me feedback. This was feedback to you so It's gonna be an open letter. I invite you guys to Critique my arguments All I ask is that you do it in a civilized manner But tell me if you see gaping holes in my logic or even ideas. You'll think are Correctly founded, then please let me know honestly. I encourage it for sure to Absolutely voice your opinion And I read every comment even if I don't get to it for a few days, so just let you know You are being heard in red.

רגע, כתובר רגע, עכשיו אני אעשה שוב Hello everybody today we have a super interesting interview with Nar Gevach who is the founder and CEO of Zika Analytics one of the leading dropshipping finding products tools. How are you today now? I'm very good thank you so much for having me and I hope I'll be able to deliver some value to you great community. Thank you for being here with us. So my first question to you is how did you come into the dropshipping niche? abroad great question, I'd be very happy to share my personal story with you guys. So in 2015 I moved with my wife at that time we weren't married, but today she's my wife, we moved to Germany and I couldn't speak any German, I would start looking for solutions, how can I make money in different ways after I failed finding job in Germany. And I just had a visit in Israel, I met a friend he told me about dropshipping and after thinking about it for a while, checking on YouTube, Readers highlighted the list of unicode products to the event and to the product team. I decided to go for for for for the ebay dropshipping to try to make it work out I didn't have much options so I was sitting on and just practicing on the computer with my I had an ebay account so I just start listing products at the time it was dropping from Amazon to ebay actually it was no product research software or almost no monitors at the time maybe one or two it was really in the beginning and yeah, this is how I came out I came to to start with the dropshipping. שיפים, and eight months later I achieved my first result. I came to the place, to the moment where I generate $5,000 in profit every month. And this is when I realized, actually a bit before, after the first $1,000 profit a month, I started to realize that there is a lot of potential in every drop shipping. You know, I did some businesses before where you need to invest a lot of money in stock or pay rent or pay for a lot of workers and so on. And I had a lot of bad experiences with it. And when I see how easy is eBay dropshipping compared to, you know, opening an offline business, I just decided to put everything I have into it. And this is also later on how I came with the idea of Zik. Amazing. And what really, this was my next question. What really made you to establish Zik? Like how did you go from just being a dropshipper to build a huge company like Zik? All right, so what happened is once I realized that I have a method, I found a method that actually worked. I decided, first of all, before even I thought about making Zik, I decided to actually check if, what happened if I teach more people working with the product research method, I developed completely manually without any software. And I took a friend, I told him, listen, I saw his truck, I told him, listen, I'll make you less and they'll help you out. Let's see if you get results. And he really very fast after around one month and one week, he started to generate a lot of sales. Basically, I was focusing on finding high-demand low-competition products based on the surge result of eBay. And then I decided to go out with the method. I decided to make the first webinar. If you remember at the time there was a big Israeli group, which was in the Israeli community, something automation. So I went there to make the first webinar. And while I was walking about the first webinar, I thought, you know what? Even though it was a software that can process, that can automate or at least semi-automate my whole product research method I do manually. And I started to look for developers and my coincidence find a developer that really liked the idea and this is how everything started. Nice, it's pretty cool because we started both tools pretty at the same time.  Yes, yes, I think it was something like this. It was very, very close to each other. As it started and you, a few couple of months later, you started, yeah, definitely. I remember we know each other, or even when you were using your software just for yourself. Yeah, that's true. Good, it's amazing to see that now we finally after three, even more years, we have this interview for the first time. Yes, I'm excited. So I wanted to ask you right now, do you recommend people to work with niches or broad stores of many different products? Okay, it's a great question that you bring up because many people ask these questions, many beginners. So I think it's great to answer them this question as well. So I personally believe Star General Store, you know, you don't know what is selling it. The one most important tip I can give to any beginner about if to go for general store or for niche store is don't assume you know which product will sell. You know, don't count your own opinion from home. Hey, I like shoes so I will sell shoes or I really believe essential oil is great product so I will sell essential oils. You have to follow the numbers. Every niche have his demand and competition. Every product have his demand and competition. This is what you focus on. I think what you should focus on. And also, you know, eBay, it's kind of very individually react. You know, it's react different individually. One sellers can have success with specific products which other sellers not. So I think starting generally is the best way to start and later on see what are the best selling products and try maybe to scale them. Well, and after how much time do you decide that product doesn't sell well for you and you delete it from your store? Okay, good question. Personally, what I do, I like to give a little bit more time. So personally, I give around up to 60 days. But I also try to keep it like to keep the activity. So let's say if kind, let's say I have no product that did not sell for 60 days or I just listed some products and they did not sell 30 days. And I see, you know, specifically I haven't deleted products for quite long time. So I will find the one which I think the least important with the least views or out of stock or stuff like this, I will remove them. But I like to give it to give one product more like longer chance, not only 30 days, around 60 days. Cool, amazing. I would go a bit into something that I'm a big believer of it, which is the big number. So I'm talking a lot about it, but I would like also to hear from you when someone works with a big number slow, which is uploading a lot of products and bulk uploads together. How do you recommend them to improve their conversion rates, improve their products? What would you do? All right, great question. So I definitely believe that this method work as well. You know, I think that there are many methods. I think all the methods, almost all the methods out there are work, you know, the work, but you need to stick to a method. So this is the problem, I believe, of most of the people, even before the optimization.   The big number was, it's a definitely method that work. There are many people making money out of it. If you decide to go for this method, so you have to stick to it to give it a couple of months, not just a few days. And I think that also in the big number rule, you can actually put attention to details. It's in a different way, you know, so it's not like when you do the product research one by one, so you can really like go to, to see a price difference from competitors and how many competitors like, or what shipping policy or the little, or return policy your competitor have, but you can still focus on demand competition and price. You can still do it. So I think you should build an assembly line. There is also a video I'm talking about it, which basically you get bunch of sellers, which lead you to list of their best selling products, then you can filter by how many people are selling the same products, how many, what are the, what are the average prices, how much you can sell it compared to your competitors. Every, all this process can be automated completely. You don't need to do it one by one. You know, you just use softwares you can use the bulk scanner, turbo scanner, you can use the auto finer and then optimize the listings later on with Zeek. We'll talk about it probably in the, in the next couple of question. Yeah, but this is the thing. Build an assembly line, you know, put attention to demand competition, put attention to price and then put attention to titles and all of this you need to do without spending too much time. So it's not the same like people walk manually. You need to find your quick solutions and if you will, if we will dive into it a little bit deeper, I will also give some tips how people can, can do these things quite fast. Nice. Okay. I really agree with you about the focus. Every method will work if you focus on it. So this is really the main thing here. But yeah, so I really wanted to ask you a bit deeper about it. How do you, for example, title is it something which is important for products? How do you optimize titles? Or bulk uploads? All right. Great question. So people think, you know, to optimize title, you need to go and completely change the whole title or put many new keywords in. But actually if you go to products with high demand low competition, this specific product already have low competition and have winning titles, have winning keywords, right in the title. So the idea is to compete these products. We are not trying to, to just, you know, pop up completely in a different search. We're trying to compete these specific products, which we are picking because we know this product have high demand, low competition and we can have a better price. So what I always suggest is just, you know, tweak it. One, two keywords. That's it. You can do the changes inside Zeke, inside the folders. You can do the changes by uploading products to bulk upload to auto DS and then do the edits on the draft before you list it to your store. Or you can do it on CSV. All what you need to do is all yourself or specific or VA, virtual assistant that will go and we just tweak one, two keywords in each title by the end of the title. And that's it. You do it quite fast, actually. Okay. So I mean, you don't go very deeply, but you do, you just put the main keywords in the title. Yes. It's like, let's just give an example. If someone, if someone sell for the example a gaming keyword wireless with with the backlights, for PC and Mac. Okay. Let's say this is the title. So I'm not going to change anything in the beginning. If there is free space, I'll just add more keywords to the end. So for example, I can add I don't know, games or office or, you know, you can use the title builder in Zeke to find these keywords very quick. You just put the niche. You just do it. You use the title builder. You get list of keywords in a second. And just I'm going to either add one keywords or I will remove two, three unnecessary keyword. For example, people use weed or beautiful or stuff like this, which is not search keywords and I will just get rid of one or two keywords like this and I will place one keywords and the idea is again not to try to rank for another title another keywords is to just tweak it. So EBC is a unique title and maybe also add another keyword which can drive more traffic. That's amazing tip. There is a specific place in the title that from your experience you think that it's better to put the keywords there in the beginning, in the end. The way, the way the, the way any search engine I think works it's, you know, because it's, you know better than me, you're a developer, but, but it's read from left to right. So of course, the beginning of the title is the most important, but I wouldn't change title. It's already worked good. You know, even if this title have their keywords in the middle, the main keyword in the middle, in the end of this title already generates sales for this specific product and the competition under these keywords, under these search keywords is low. I wouldn't try to change the beginning. I will always keep the root of the title the same and I will just add my new keywords in the end of the title. Amazing. And if I usually recommend people to also if something sells for them so improve it even more. So would you go deeply for, for example, item specifics, picture or something like that? Definitely, definitely. Today, your tool, for example, he can add the item specific automatically. Even though I would definitely for good products, I will, you know, I'll try to put more attention to details. But again, I think everyone need to manage his resources correctly. You know, so if you are the only person, if the person watching us right now is the only person who walk in the business and you need to do customer service and you need to list products and you need to find products and you need to, you know, take care of whatever call to eBay, anything else. So you need to prayer. I think people need to prioritize. You cannot do everything. And of course, if you are going, it's different story. I can tell you already that for my experience, I guess you, you have the same experience. They're really big sellers, you know, that like really like scaling to a lot of stores. They really have a system in place. They really like having a strong assembly lines and they cover all aspects. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, cool. So people really need to understand well they focus their time. So they can actually make scale and not only focus on exactly. Exactly. That's it. Great. There is an option to combine Zika Analytics with AutoDS and I thought maybe you can even share a little screen and show how to do that. Definitely. Let me just share my screen here right now. So I prepared it here because I was guessing you're going to ask me something like this one second. Okay, so I'm going to share my screen in one second. Do you see my screen? Yeah. So we are on the dashboard of Zik here. Okay. And I'm not going to go through all the things. It's it will waste too much time, but I want to show you how you can actually list products from Zik directly to AutoDS. So first thing you need to do is to go to the management panel to the settings. Okay. And then here in the settings you will have integrations. Okay. In the integrations you have the token here. You can you choose AutoDS, you add a token, you give your store name and basically the token will be added here. Okay. Once you see token is added, everything is in place. Of course, you have to choose your supplier. So if you're walking with Amazon or Walmart or anyone else and that we support in Zik. And then you start your product research. You can use different tools. You can use tuba scanner. You can use bulk scanner. You can do the walk manually just competitive research or your product research. Anyway, in all the tools beside the tuba scanner you can save products to your folders. So you build your own product list as you can see here. And once you came here you want to list the product. You come here, you select the store you want to list the product to. You select the marketplace and you click on the upload selected. Of course, you need to select all the products you want to select or you can select the whole folder. Check all or check a specific page. Click the upload selected and it will automatically upload it to Autodesk to the draft. Right? Yeah. Yeah, so this is how simple it is. Cool. It's really easy. And then what do you do? You split by sellers by categories. What are those? Good question. So you can do your folders as you want. You know, there are people they have different VAs. They have folder for each VA. There are people like who split the product by prices so they can control which you know, they build one of the things I believe I also sure I think you will think like me. It's very important to keep the the portfolio of the store with an average selling price which is aiming to be the higher. Of course, not like $3,000 per sell but to keep it to $35, $50 even more in order to get more value for your order for the orders you process. So you can really build like folders with different pricing and then you can control the pricing how much you list between $50 to $100 how much you list between $5 to $20 and you can build it the way you want it to be for example. Yeah, it can be used in any way. People want to do it. Cool. Okay, great. So I have some questions that I propelled if you don't have something more let's turn off the screenshot. Yeah, I'm back. Good. And now I can see you. So I wanted to ask you what is a winning product for you? What in a perfect world what would you define as a perfect product? All right, great question and I really like this question because people are like always find it very complicated. You know they, oh, what is winning product? How do I know if it's a winning product? But actually it's very, you know, it's a very, very simple. I would say a checklist you need to go through. Okay, that's all.  So let's say you find a product that have certain amount of sales. You'll also number one start from demand. So you want to have, let's say, five sales in the last 30 days. Okay. On eBay? Yeah, on eBay. Now, I would always say the more beginner you are, the more strict you should be with the criteria. So if you're just getting started, you can anyway list only 100 products. So go for products with 20 sales in the last 30 days. Why to go for 5?  So the more beginner you are, the more strict you should be with the criteria. But let's say the average when your store is already running is five sales for 30 days. And then I also prefer to have products with with no more than 15 competitors based on the title. Okay. So you can either again, same thing, if you beginner go for product with five competitors, three competitors, you know, you have this, you have enough, you don't, you anyway limited. But if you already want to scale fast, I would say 15 competitors. So this is the first criteria. And then you need to see price. You can be more competitive with the price. You can be more competitive with your seller level. Some things you can see, something you can see. So what you can see, you can check, but feedbacks you can see. What else you can see? You can see policies, shipping, handling time, return policies. So I usually recommend people always walk with 60-day return policy, always try to have as fast as possible handling time, you know, if need to create few shipping policies, create few shipping policies, but try to be better than your competitor in any aspect. Price, demand, competition, title, item-specific, description, anything else. Now, we talked about it before, right? They need to see also, they cannot go to all the details if they list now thousands of products. So you have to see what you can do when you go for the big number rules and then apply. Which is demand, competition, price. Do your best with your policies and optimize the title and maybe later on the item-specific as well. Interesting. Cool, thank you for the insights. Let's talk a bit about something different. We started to scale now our business starting to run. So first, when do you recommend to bring a virtual assistant for products finding? All right, it's a very good question because I think it's really depend on few aspects. First of all, it depends on your budget. Okay? Like any business, you know, like if you open another business, you don't have the money to bring walkers, you don't bring walkers, right? If you have the money, you bring, but you don't just bring to say, I have a walker, there is another reason. Second thing is time. If you have the budget, but you don't have enough time and you really believe you can start directly with the help of VA and you are disciplined enough to learn and to track your VA, it's an option. I wouldn't say it's my favorite option. I would prefer you start from scratch learning the business yourself, already build, let's say, the first $1,000 profit a month and then you bring a VA. You know, this is the, I would say the one which makes the most sense, but I also saw people that just come from scratch. They have another business experience. You know, they believe dropshipping is great. They start from VA's from day one and it works for them. So it's not black and white, but I still think the best, the best, the most healthy way is to first learn the business yourself, make some profit and then use this profit to bring VA to scale. And what would be the daily schedule of the VA? Like if, if, for example, I have a VA for full time to list products for me, how would you split it? Like first go find products then optimize or list then optimize? What would be there? All right, great question. So how do we see the assembly line? So the assembly line basically is starting from finding competitors for finding the filtering demand, their best selling products, filtering competition, clean out all the high competition products. Then you left with the, with the cream, the lacrim, I would say with the product, which like have high demand, low competition. Then you can filter out product which are not fit with the prices. You can filter out Vera product and then you come to the last part which is title optimization, which can either be done if you do it with Zik on the folder or it can be also done. Let's say you use the CSV file to upload to, to out of the S or you use the out of the, the out of finder, for example, then it can also be done on the draft.  And you can also, let's say you can also skip this part of title optimization. You know, it's not mandatory. I don't say your business will not work without it, but this is how I would see like the complete assembly line that you can put the, that you will be able to really like grow with quality. You just need to see, you can fulfill this need, you know, if you have enough power to do it. Amazing. So we already build like a step by step very clear process of the build for assistant and then you can Yes, definitely. And, and I would also test them for each station for each step. I wouldn't just tell them, okay, listen, you knew VA, you do everything now. Start with everything. I would tell them, okay, you start with finding competitors and listing on the high demand products and I will do the rest and make sure you know this best. Then I will start to delegate more and more till he's ready. One of the biggest mistake also I had, I guess I think every, every entrepreneur have this mistake in the beginning is that you bring a VA or a worker and you go and you give, you thrown him the job, you know, like, yeah, do everything. This is what you need to do and you're already sure in your mind you know how to do it. You're sure he knows also how to do it and you come one day later and you say like, damn, what happened here? You know? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I agree. It should be like step by step as in any real business in the world. Yeah. You cannot bring someone who knows everything immediately. Cool. Okay. Um, so anything else that you would like to add about the virtual assistant? Well, I think another part which is important is also the before you hire in a virtual assistant, you really had to test good virtual assistants. You really have to make sure if they're from, from Asia, make sure they have a good internet, make sure they're coming from a stable house because you know how it is. They can suddenly disappear. Someone died. Someone make accident. Suddenly there is storm. There is no internet. You try to avoid this in the beginning then it's already a big advantage if you find someone with good internet, I think. Great tip. It's a magic tip. I think that no, no, nobody without experience ever think about it. Like let's check their internet connection. Yes. People think like, yeah, they want. We live in here in Texas, United States. We have a great internet. They're in Manila. Probably they also have a great internet. No, they have a very not good internet. I agree. Yeah, that's a huge problem but it's amazing tip. I wanted to ask you about some last questions about first about the future of the dropshipping. How do you think it will go from here from 2020 and beyond? What would you say about it? So I'd like to look first of all why don't e-commerce generally?  Before the corona, it was like only 15% of retail sales are online. 15% from the whole sales in the United States, which is nothing.  But even though if it's on 30%, we still have another 30% to 40% to go. So imagine what happens if 30% of more people coming and start ordering things online. And now, you know, eBay is eBay so some slice will come to eBay and if we dropshipping on eBay we will enjoy it. So I think in generally e-commerce is not even close to his full potential. Dropshipping, it's an evergreen business. It will always, I think it's if you take dropshipping and you look like what is actually is it's one of the oldest ancient businesses, business models, you know?  People are selling information from one place to another. It's one of the oldest ancient business models. So I think there is a great future and there will be also a lot of obstacles on the way and it's not going to be easy all the time, but the one that stay and we can see it now, you know, after what was in 2018, 2018, we see now people are making a lot of money and many people left because of few challenges, you know? Yeah. And by the way, I want to add here a bit. I also posted in my personal Facebook account and in our Facebook community group about what happened with the e-commerce during the coronavirus was crazy. Like everyone just, yeah, I'm sure that you saw that also in the Zik statistics. Crazy, crazy, crazy. It was insane. Every keyword you search, every niche you check like this. Yeah, you can always check it. I think you also show graphs in the Zik and see something like that. Yes, of course. So I guess that if you put like some niche it's insane. It's insane. It's insane. And you know what? More, more, more nice about it. It pushed a lot of people who never bought things online. It pushed them to start all the things online now. Everyone know when you start all the things online, you don't stop all the things online. It's like, you know, it's just become more and more and more. So just people need to think about this, this huge potential that is hiding there, you know, for the long run. Yeah, I was, I personally was very scared about what will happen after the coronavirus because I thought that okay, now it's finished and now everything will go bad. And then I saw that no, because if someone got used to buy online, he would keep buying online. That's all. Yeah. And then even more than that, they will also tell to their friends that more and more people it's amazing. From your experience, I would like to get from you some advices for beginners and something for advanced logicals. So I would like to also ask you about any tip that you would like to give for the finishing of this great interview for beginners. Sure. So let's start with beginners. So guys, you're just getting started. The most important thing is to find someone to follow. So you need to have a mentor, you know, it doesn't need to be one-on-one, but you need to have a method. Okay, that you decide to go and need to give it a chance. You need to say, okay, I'm 100% now go for example for the high number method. Oh, I'm 100% go for another method and I stick to it and you have to give it let's say at least at least three months, you know, to see what's going on, you know, to learn, to focus, no doubt, not change your mind. Give it a real chance. This is the tip number one, which most of people failing with this, with this tip. Tip number two is try to manage your expectations correctly. You know, don't come super excited. Yeah, I'm going to make drop she's going to make thousands of dollars and then after one month that you made five sales, you like it's not for me and you live. No, understand, it takes time. Everything in the internet takes time. The first hardest part is the first three months then the next six months.  But don't, you know, don't come and then say Oh, after one month like I expected to make $10,000 in months. Ciao. It's not for me. No. So this, I think the main focus for our beginners. For advanced people it's scale horizontally more eBay accounts. In the moment that you have control your first eBay account, create more eBay accounts diverse but don't diverse too much. You know, many people think like, yeah, I need to work with six, seven suppliers. I need to have six, seven different business models. No, if you already managed to build one business model which work good with a supplier which which you profitable with scale it for at least three, four more stores. Then you can try something else. You know, first of all, make the most out of what you have. Take you 80% of time and invest to the 20% of time which bring you the 80% of result and not opposite which most of people are doing. And yeah, this is, I think, the the main tips for beginners in advance.
