Welcome to ThinkTech on OC16, Hawaii's weekly newscast on things that matter to tech, and Hawaii. I'm Jay Fidel. And I'm Elise Anderson. In our show this time, we'll visit the recent downtown forum, organized by ThinkTech and Grassroot Institute at 1132 Bishop Street. The title of this special forum was, Beyond Political Sovereignty, Pathways for Hawaiian Advancement. The discussion was intended to cover the issues facing the Native Hawaiian community, and the alternatives by which it can achieve cultural, social, and economic goals. We organized this downtown forum to be a discussion of that question. What are the best pathways for Hawaiians to better themselves, culturally, socially, and economically? How can the larger community help them reach their goals, other than by a restoration of political sovereignty? The panel was comprised of Oz Stender, formerly of Kamehameha Schools, and Oha, Billy Richardson of the William S. Richardson School of Law, and the Office of Technology Transfer at UH Manoa, Miley Meyer of Nameha, Hawaii, and Koleiakina of Grassroot Institute. While some Hawaiians have done well and have occupied prominent roles in the community, others have not, and they include a substantial number of the disadvantage we become concerned about. What to do, what to do, what should they do individually and as a community to advance themselves and reach their cultural, social, and economic goals? Our frame of reference is that, apart from sovereignty, there are promising pathways native Hawaiians can take, such as business, the sciences, the professions, education, and for that matter, political involvement. First we heard from Oz Stender, formerly of Kamehameha Schools, and Oha. At home, we had one spoon of poi bol in the middle of the table, and that was it. At Kamehameha was so different. We had two developed social skills. I call that group therapy for people like me. When I became a junior, someone decided that 80% of the class is going to learn a skill. In those days, commitment was basically a school that trained plumbers, electricians, welders, and as 80% of the kids went into the shops to learn a trade, so we were at trade school. 20% of the kids became college prep, and they took a different tact of learning. I was one of those of the 80% group. I learned to be a draftsman, and a senior year, we went to classes in the morning, took math and English and whatnot, and in the afternoon, we all worked. I worked at the Hawaiian Electric Company, my brother worked at the telephone company, and people worked apprentice all around town. When we all graduated, we all had jobs. We moved right into the workforce. My apprenticeship at Hawaiian Electric lasted about two years. I looked around the room, and I found that the people that had the corner offices or ended up downtown were all college grads, so I decided that I wanted to be a college grad, but because I had no parents and nobody to support me financially, there was no scholarship and no student loans, none of that. If you wanted to go to college, you had to find your own money and pay for it. The only solution for me was to join the military and get the GI Bill. I joined the Marine Corps, served my time, and then came home, went to the university and graduated from the university. I was the only one in my family, and we had a large family that went to college. So that was something that I will always remember, that there is, at least today, the good news is that there are more and more opportunities for education beyond high school, both trade schools and beyond high school. Today, we have counseling that will counsel the parents and the teachers and the students about the availability of financial aid. You have student loans, you have scholarships, and you have grants. So with that said, the question is how does Native Hawaiians achieve their cultural goals? Culturally, I think in the 70s, we had the Renaissance, and with the establishment of the Hawaiian language charter schools, that area is rapidly growing. As far as the economic goals, Hawaiians have a long way to go. Education is the key. With 45,000 families, so 76% earning less than 75,000 per year, and more than 10% or nearly 10,000 families living in poverty, with incomes less than 15,000 annually. It is only with education can we change these numbers. I think the issue of illegal authority needs to be addressed, and it needs to be resolved between the Hawaiian community and the federal government and the state government. As long as that fester is out there, you're going to have a lot of Hawaiians unhappy, or you're going to have to wait until they all die off and forget it. But I think the younger generation I see out there holding flags and marching down Calacau Avenue, so that issue must be addressed. Then we heard from Billy Richardson of the William S. Richardson School of Law and the Office of Technology Transfer at UH Manoa. People would criticize me as one of those golden spoon guys. You know, I went to Punahou, I went to University of California, then I had to do Glasgow straight out and came back. And what I would say is I spent my career, and it's not over yet, I hope, trying to fulfill my dad's and my family's responsibility back to the community, because that's how I was raised. And so, but I didn't want to follow the track of my dad. So I did all of the things that were required of me to complete my education. But then when I came back, I decided that I was going to fulfill my responsibility of the community in far different ways for my dad. I think, you know, he was a politician and, you know, a social activist. I never took that tack. I find myself now back in a role that kind of surprises me where I'm, you know, I work at the University of Hawaii now, I'm a UH professor, I'm a Hawaiian Homelands Commissioner, and I look around to myself. I look at myself in the mirror this morning, I thought, man, I'm turning into my dad. And, you know, but in between that time, I felt that job creation and Hawaiian economic development was the key. And so I spent my time trying to do that. And that's why I fell into my investment career and my venture capital career and my business creation career. And I felt that was the most productive way that I could give back to my community. I guess I would say that I spent my life with two very simple philosophies. One is the Hawaiians got screwed. And the second one is individual action is the only way to get that back. And so I felt that building companies one at a time was the way to do it. So that's sort of where I am and how I got here. What I was doing when I was thinking about this presentation is I'm an economist. My dad was an economist, kind of very few people know that. Before he went to law school, he was an economist. And so I look at the world's or Hawaii's issues very simplistically. There, a Hawaiian nation has to stand on a few simple economic tenants. One is you have to have a credible economic policy. The second one is you have to have a well-regulated financial sector. And finally, you have to have a robust and diversified economic balance of payments to support current arrangements. So when I hear about a lot of the governance issues and the aha and other things, I just think that it's premature. We have to face the much more broad questions of what is a Hawaiian nation and how does it survive and how does it sustain itself? So when I look at the costs and benefits of a Hawaiian nation, I think of, well, what are the costs of infrastructure? What are the costs of health and safety? What is the cost of governance? What's the cost of a banking system? And all of the questions that are required to sustain an economic engine that can build a Hawaiian nation. And so when I go back to my first year economic class, there's really four main conditions under which an economy sustains itself. You have to have capital, you have to have labor, you have to have natural resources, and an entrepreneurial spirit. We have a lot of those things in Hawaii right now, but we've superseded the discussion for building those things through the contentious ideas of how we're going to govern ourselves. Well, what is there to govern until we get some of those questions answered? And I just think that people think with their pocketbooks and if you're going to try to get consensus on a governance issue, you have to understand the economic issues first. Then we heard from Miley Meyer of Nomea, Hawaii. I'm like Miley, we ended up being so fortunate to be landed Hawaiians. And Oz, I just have to tell you, listening to your beginnings, I've read it, I know it in my heart, but every time I hear it, I realize, in this room, raise your hand if you've had a similar upbringing to Oz's standard. So two out of 30. So just remember that. Just remember who you're talking to and what their experiences are. So we don't over-apply what we think we know. So important. My mother was orphaned, but she was from a large family with lots of aunts that raised her. Every Hawaiian she knew, most of them were orphaned. 80% of our population was gone. We had intergenerational trauma to deal with. When Michael and I moved home, I'll never forget Michael saying, my husband Michael Broderick, wow, Hawaii feels not like America. It feels like a foreign country. And I would smile and I would say to him, it's because it is. So just hold that thought. The other thing I have to mention about Dear Jay, when he says a hosted culture, we're the host culture as Hawaiians, we're actually the rooted culture. We're rooted to place. We're not going anywhere. When our bones get put into the earth or released our spirits, it will mostly be here because we are of this place.  I'm welcoming you. I have a choice. We don't have that option as native people. So we are rooted to this place. And I feel very grateful to not have to live with the tourism model of being just a host. So I just want to clarify that. Let's use the rooted model. Dear friend Kukahakalau, she has studied the pedagogy of aloha and its history and education. And what she says is, after so much work and community, when natives thrive, everyone thrives. She didn't say when natives thrive, just Hawaiians thrive, or those people thrive, or not those. She said everyone because that's the nature of our value system. And everyone in this room, Hawaiian or not, recent newcomer born and raised, has benefited from the value of place. And the value of place and relationships taught by a dear mentor of mine, Kenny Brown, is this place has the least amount of ancestral memory loss. Simply translated, we remember how to treat each other, how to care for people. I work in creative communities. I started Native Books and Beautiful Things years ago in downtown Honolulu, my most favorite store. I unfortunately, as Jay suggested, was in retail, but it's a front. I have to sell a few things, and they're always locally made, mostly by native Hawaiians. Over 300 to 400 producers at any given time.  I can't even tell you the difference it makes. I've become more and more of a professional retailer. My landlord right now is Howard Hughes, and it used to be General Growth, and before then it was the Ward family who rung their hands and sold to General Growth because they didn't get more money from a local developer. Really? Come on, we can do better than that, can't we? What is the best use in the end? Making the most money? You gotta question that. So, retail is a conduit to resources for me as an economic development person. I also laugh because I unfortunately, that's not the right word, I love going to Punahou. I love going to Stanford, and I love going to UCLA Business School. I totally did, but I never tell people other than people like you guys, because you guys think it means something. It doesn't. It's what I do with it that actually means something. So, we have to get over that. You gotta go to this or that. It presents terrific opportunities and shortens the pathway, and allows me to speak with credibility, because normally I look one step above homeless because I just don't care. So, I'm teasing to you all. You have to all lighten up, life's too short, but the point is there's many more important things to care about than where I went to school. But if you do care, please know that I'm not as crazy as I do sound. So, for me, I loved hearing Billy say, fulfill my responsibility, my community. If you have a skill set, find your skill set and use it. Last but not least, we heard from Kaylee Iakina of Grassroot Institute. The Hawaiian narrative is one of achievement. It is one of labor. And this is what we need to tell our young Hawaiians. This is what we need to tell everyone in our culture. From Manono, there was no victimization narrative. And as I have studied the narratives of the ancient Hawaiians, the ancient Oli, the chance, the melee that came from that, yes, there are stories of wars and battles and people winning and some people losing, but there is no identity that says we are victims. There is no identity that says that we have oppressors and that we are utterly defeated by that. Unfortunately, in the 1970s and 80s, with the wonderful rise of the Hawaiian renaissance in music and culture, which has blessed everyone, a narrative came to us from across the world that has often described colonial peoples. And that was the victimization narrative, that we Hawaiians are defined by the fact that we were defeated, that we have had our lands stolen and that we have conquerors over us. Now, today, my purpose is not to debate the truth or falsehood of that. And it's likely that it's not, is it true or is it not true, but how true is it? But putting that aside, there's a more important question that I always raise when I address young Hawaiians and that is how productive is it to take that as our only identity, the victim narrative? There are so many more powerful narratives that could drive our lives. There are so many more powerful narratives that honor the past, but look to the future. The victimization narrative serves several functions. First of all, it is used by some to rationalize why we don't have success as Hawaiians. But I think we need to look at the statistical data there. One, Hawaiian kupuna tome, you know, Kilii, most of us Hawaiians are mostly something else. And people may not see that that Chinese businessman is part Hawaiian or that Caucasian businessman is part Hawaiian because part of the success of the Hawaiian gene pool is that it has spread all over. Hawaiians are amongst the most successful people. The victimization narrative blames others for our condition. It divides society between victims and victors. And here, I'm not trying to say there isn't any truth to the troubles that Hawaiians have faced. I'm trying to say that we not only look to the past, but we reach into the future. And we need a narrative I would suggest changing our narrative to one in which we are leaders, alakai, leading society in every way possible as my esteemed colleagues on this table are doing. One in which we are achievers. And one in which we preserve the aloha spirit. And part of that preservation is to proclaim that not only do those whose ancestors were here before Captain Cook belong in these islands, but all newcomers, all Malahini who have come here. Aunty Nona also taught me the aloha oli, the aloha chant to welcome people here. Part of it says, oh ta'u no i'a, e'a no i'nei, e'a li'a nei, ho'i o tahiti mai, she said ho'i o tahiti mai coming from a far place. She said that's the definition of everyone in Hawaii and what binds us together, that whether our ancestors were here before or have just come from a far place, we have all come from a far place. My encouragement to young native Hawaiians today is the key to our advancement is to change the narrative. Look to the future. Kulia Ikanu strived to reach the summit. After Q&A, we heard closing remarks from the panel. We need to believe deeply in the value of our culture and our heritage and preserving that that's important as a people. But we need to raise our children so that they advance as individuals, taking advantage of all great opportunities in this land. Ehana Kako, let's work together. I love hearing this and I've carried dual citizenship all my life. Whether it's been given to me or told that I have it, I know I have it and that's all I need. I used to go around and say it was ho'o lohe, but I think, I actually talked to Miley's sister and it's more ho'o pono, is do pono, do what you can and maybe the greater issues will take care of themselves. I think Frank discussion needs to be held with the Hawaiian people on over the issue and try to come to some conclusion on that issue because that will always be on the current of it all. Of course over time, it might change, but I doubt it for now. In the meanwhile, the Hawaiians should be educated and trained in whatever skills that would improve the quality of their lives, whatever that takes. We're all trying to get our word out. I appreciate the opportunity, yeah. I love the discussion. You know, I just, I love dynamic. It's part of the work that I do with artists. So as soon as it gets a little bit interesting, contentious, turning over ideas, heated, I tend to lean in because you've got to be listening. We have a government to deal with already. Why do we need another? I think most Hawaiians want to be American citizens. They want to be a resident of this state. Why is it that there's 500,000 Hawaiians in this country and only 99,000 are interested enough to be involved? It was wonderful to have such a diverse panel, a former trustee of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, a university administrator and entrepreneur and little old me. We need to have this kind of coming together and talking about issues that are sometimes controversial. Many people say that we are all Hawaiian and that we should not be building barriers to divide ourselves, but instead overcoming barriers so that we can live together in a more perfect aloha. Yes, these are difficult issues about which many people are passionate. If you'd like to express your views, please let us know.

Did you know that video marketing helps lead generation? Kentucky Fried Chicken, KFC, a popular food restaurant entirely founded in the United States of America, recorded an exponential increase of about $8 billion in its annual ROI between 2014 to 2021. Amazing, right? But how did this food giant do it? First off, KFC seamlessly integrated its unique video marketing strategies alongside other marketing approaches they had at hand. From targeted YouTube advertisements featuring yummy chicken clips to television adverts and finger licking, street visuals. Interestingly, it wasn't only the ROI that got a boost. This top-rated restaurant has been able to firmly establish its presence in approximately 26,000 different locations and over 146 countries so far. Of course, the efforts to create such a success story didn't come from creating random video marketing clips. You need something much more unique and powerful enough. So, let's cut the raise short and find a few unique ways to generate and convert more leads with your video content, just like KFC did. Create tailored video content for your audience. Creating tailored video content for your audience requires understanding them first. Before conversion starts, you must discover the how, what, and why's. Be sure you know who is likely to buy your product and what struggles they are currently facing. Prioritize quality over cost. If there's a problem with using video marketing, that would be the cost of it. A professional video creator and editor charge an average of $20,000 per video with limited accommodation for re-edits. You can solve these issues by preparing a buoyant budget beforehand and allocating it to an external production unit. Alternatively, you can employ a seasoned video producer for in-house brand work and pay monthly. Or, you can create your own using video creation and editing tools, such as Pictory.ai. Integrate testimonial and case study videos on important pages. According to recent studies, approximately 72% of consumers trust a business due to online testimonials and reviews, even from strangers. So if you're looking for the fastest way to convert your leads, use video testimonials. Make your lead generation videos short. Businesses are beginning to understand how difficult it is to retain their customer's attention for longer periods. Track your lead generation video KPIs. Key performance indexes like view rate, engagement, view through rate, video conversion, and bounce rate are crucial to your marketing results. View through rate lets you know how many viewers watched through to the end. If the count is low, you should assess the video's length, quality, and placement. Another performance index, like a high bounce rate, means more people exit your website or landing page almost immediately as they get there. You can see how these KPIs reveal possible problems with your video marketing strategy and how to fix them. By optimizing your video content and campaign with the provided insights, you can convert more leads and automatically scale up your ROI. Just like there's no one-size-fits-all solution to marketing, video content is not the only factor of success your business needs. But you can get remarkable conversion results from it if done well.


I wanted to know, I have never had a productive networking event. I networked pretty well. I've never gone to a networking event where I got much of anything out of it. So what would you label as a productive result at a networking event? I don't even know. I mean in general I end up with people's cards, they end up with my card, nothing much happens, some vendors usually try to contact me in a very direct way. I have in general found this to be useless. So it may be that I'm not the right person to be talking to about these things because in general this isn't any way, I have no insight as to how to get a networking event to work for you. Well there's, I think a lot of the old ideas was to go in and run the room and be seen and collect all the cards and now you have all these contacts when we're trying to get people to settle in on, if you go out and you make one or two good connections that evening of some partners that you could do some work with or even a new friend who has similar interests that you guys can develop together, that is more successful than the guy who run the room, collected all the cards and then make a connection with them. I would argue there's even a small, it may seem imperceptible to you, but there's a small amount of value to meeting you in person, seeing you in a room full of people in person versus just listening to you on audio. And we've been doing this for 12 years and the reaction that we get, although our audience is not nearly as big, when they meet in person it personalizes the experience of getting to know you, they feel closer to you and ultimately maybe not immediately in your inbox the next day, it's probably led to more opportunities, more people paying attention to you, more people viewing you in higher regard and over time we're saying these are compounding effects, right? So it may be small and imperceptible based on that one networking event, but if you stuck with it, you would probably see better invites, you would be stuck on this podcast with us, you might be on some bigger podcasts over time, right? So that's the compounding effect that we're preaching. But before we get a little too far off course, I want to ask you as someone who's very similar to a lot of our audience and feeling that you overanalyze and there's opportunity cost, have you developed any guardrails to allow you to make a decision in a more timely manner to lower the opportunity cost? No. Yeah. Well, let's unpack that. How have you struggled with that if you haven't reached that conclusion? What have you tried? What could be helpful to our audience who's feeling indecisive, who's feeling really analytical and now is realizing that there's opportunity costs to this? I mean, I think the way I would say it is I don't have a lot of advice for people who wish to remain generic. If you want to remain like I'm a rationalist or I'm a Republican or I'm a motorsports enthusiast and that's my thing, great. I just don't know what to tell you. What I do know is that between almost every pair of ears, there are crazy thoughts that you're trying to suppress, right? And you don't want anyone to know that you're thinking these thoughts.  Surely you don't think that. If you can figure out one or two of those things that you actually believe and you can commit to them and you can get through that initial negativity, you will find that the most interesting people will be saying, you know, I didn't catch your name. I asked somebody else. I hope you don't mind that I'm using this email address, but I'm holding a private gathering and we're discussing this issue. The thing that you fear getting out may be your most valuable asset. It may be the thing that distinguishes you. And one of the things that I'm very angry at the LGBTQ community for is monopolizing the concept of a closet.  A closet is simply any structure that is keeping you from clearing your throat and saying what you believe to be an outside, untrained, unfavorable, unpopular opinion. And when you actually find one of those things that you have the courage to scream and you come out of the closet and there's no going back, right? There's no return ticket. It's a one-way ticket.  And what I would say is if your audience is who I think it largely might be, you've got gold that you are sitting on and trying to keep the world from hearing about. And what I would admonish you to do is to think about, all of you can build a website, build a website and start to put cookie crumbs out towards that thing that you actually are. And if I can say it just the most disturbing way possible, most people will die never having heard their own voice. And that is, I don't think people realize how profound a situation that is. And I would go a step further reason with yourself. So not only the suppression of the thought, but whether it's hitting record on the podcast or putting it out on YouTube or writing the blog. That level of commitment entails reasoning and developing out that thought further. And yes, there may be a nugget of gold, but you got to clear off all the dirt around it by actually vocalizing it, whether it's an audio form or written form or video form. I think the sad part is a lot of us have these thoughts bouncing around that we actually don't even try to reason with internally, let alone share with the world. And this is getting comfortable and finding your voice, getting comfortable with that voice and then being able to express it to other people. This is hoisting your flag so that others are able to see it and able to salute it if they if they wish. And that takes a certain amount of comfortability with themselves. And and and that's why I love self development because self development lay. There's so many different ideas how you can go about getting more comfortable with yourself to allow yourself to shine for other to express yourself to other people. Well, OK, but this is super dangerous advice we're talking about here. And I want to highlight. You can use reason. You can try to figure out the packaging. But if I look at somebody like James D'Amore and his memo at Google.  That stage of his life was over. Now, I don't think he necessarily maximized his butterfly potential on the other side of it. But the world was watching this thing. Certainly was. And many people myself included said, that's a very weird thing to get fired for. You asked. You Google asked for feedback. You had a seminar that was intended to help people develop as managers. Somebody gave you feedback coming from a big five psychological inventory. Perspective quoting a professor from the University of Toronto.  And so this is one of these very weird things about what holds us back.  That's the market of ideas, right? So if you don't have any ideas, maybe you can get by without it. But what where I learned about this, I didn't mean to cut you out. Come back to it. I did this podcast with from a live event with Ben Shapiro and Sam Harris at the Masonic in San Francisco, and it was the perfect Rorschach test.  For everything we were praised for, we were vilified as well in the comments.  Finally, somebody arguing for the religious perspective in a rational way. What is Ben Shapiro doing on this stage? This guy is a complete hack trying to argue for the religious perspective from a rational perspective.  As a result, you have to make a decision. Are you not willing to be hated for anything from a reasonable perspective? Right?  And they think that you're being insensitive. We don't need any Taco Bell emails, please. We've had enough. We've had enough. That's Taco Bell. So in that in that setting, what I came to understand is, oh, there's no way of keeping these people happy. There's no it is literally provably impossible. Ergo. You have to decide what your butterfly stage is meant to be after you kill your caterpillar to your caterpillar stage is usually trying to get along with the world, trying to get along with the employer. If you get fired, try to get fired for the right thing. Try to get fired for saying something brave or noble. You know, my brother effectively got fired for opposing the idea that one group should tell another group that they should get off campus for a day symbolically, you know, and he was absolutely right. And he was dealing with racists and bigots who happened weirdly to be, you know, black and brown bigots as opposed to white bigots. And most of us are mostly used to dealing with white bigotry. OK, well, that was that was a little unusual. It wasn't that unusual. And is he happier? And is he better off after having this situation blow up on him? I would say, yeah, because closets are small and they're uncomfortable and you can't actually live in them. So find your closet and break out of it. Skip the networking events. Build a website. Say something of interest.   So make sure that you've got, you know, a certain amount of supplies. And when you clear your throat, don't put too many wiggle words in it, because quite honestly, courage and bravery in the service of something noble or attractive and it is a wide open opportunity set out there because everybody is scared to talk. And and people were looking for that.  And so, of course, let's follow that crowd around because they are they are speaking that truth to and it's their truth and whether or not I'm going to believe what they have to say on all points remains to be seen. But I want more of that. I want to have this discussion. I think and I think we're all trying to get comfortable with that at this point. Well, I think we are. I also want to focus.  We haven't explicitly talked about gender in this conversation, but there is a feeling that your audience is mostly male, mostly. No, no, no, actually, the most vocal section of our audiences is women. Let's talk about what they're what they're going through. And is it different in your demographics? So and we have run women's programs. We have one all women's program coming up in October. And their perspective is really twofold. Number one, most of the men who come to us in terms of socialization, there's a certain level of requirement that they approach people and strike up conversations, right? That's the social norm, the construct that men do the approaching. Whether it's in a business networking setting or in a social setting. Women are used based on the social constructs culturally here to being approached and they feel that if they actually approach someone, it signals a level of intent that as men were not signaling as strong. So because of that, there's reticence on their part to approach people.  The men don't really have that concern in their mind. So that was the first thing we sort of eye opening for us of like, wow, OK, we do approach exercises in class and then go out and talk to people. And we didn't realize that there was going to be that sort of barrier in their mind. Now, having come out the other side of the program, they realize that, wow, breaking that barrier is really powerful. And I've been limiting myself and opportunities by not approaching people that I want to talk to. Right. Right. So it's been helpful for them. The second thing is the way they're perceived in their career and the way speaking up in particular is perceived. So and and you could argue that we saw this in the last election with the way that Trump's language was perceived by the masses as being strong, powerful and a leader and Hillary using similar terminology was seen as, you know, cold, bitchy, whatever you want to call it, the labels were put on her. And you take a step back and like, but they're essentially trying to say the same things, but they're being perceived in a completely different way. So their concern was, how can I speak up and speak my voice, but get the same benefits that men seem to be receiving in the workplace? And for me and Johnny, we're pretty honest about it. We're like, hey, let's have a conversation about this. But if we look at where we are in history and what you're talking about this specific environment and scenario, this is a new world for us.  So we're trying to learn it to, hey, let's learn together. Let's figure out a way to communicate more effectively. We don't necessarily have the correct scientific answer to how to do that. But that was a deeper underlying concern for the women that a lot of men don't come to us with. For them to even have that conversation in a safe environment where they wouldn't feel judged for wanting to have that conversation was extremely powerful and extremely productive and good for them.  That might be a while before you go ahead and do that again. So as we all know, we have to we have to come out of the closet on our own terms and and have these conversations and show that there's nothing wrong with having these conversations. In fact, it allows everyone in the room to feel more comfortable if we are having these conversations. Well, not everyone.  I guess I think about this a lot in terms of female colleagues, my wife, my daughter. And I think that the pressures that women are under are very often somewhat invisible to us as men. Absolutely. We completely agree with and a colleague approached me recently who had just moved into a management position and she said, I'm trying to figure out how to avoid some of the gender dynamics with telling men what to do and do you have any suggestions? I actually put a lot of thought into it and I came up with a rubric, which is I said, you know, do you feel that you were promoted because you are in general more on top of your game technically at this point? She said, yes. And I said, OK, why not bet the men in your group when you think that you're right and they think that they're right? A beer or a round of drinks. And that way, if they win, you are still in a powerful position because you are the provider of the round of drinks, which is a traditional commanding position so that you show that you can acknowledge because I think one of the fears that a lot of men have is that a lot of women bring things immediately into the gendered setting. In other words, we're having a disagreement. And if I was having it with a with a fellow man, I would say, you know, let's let's settle this. But if the woman says, wow, you really just don't get it because I'm female. You're just thinking like, OK, I've got no tools. I do not know how to come back from that. It could be the exact same point, but we don't want to get into that gendered issue. So in this setting, I think that my friend was very appreciative that there was a way of making sure that she could show that she was OK with being corrected if she was wrong, which was very important that she could be right where there would be no consequence if she was right, but if she was wrong, she would pick up the round of drinks.  I just I'm absolutely convinced they're searching for it. I mean, they're listening to the show. They're looking for that answer. You know, the caveat that I would raise and tweak the rubric would be lunch instead of drinks, because for again, a lot of what we're hearing from our women's audience is I just don't want to go out for drinks with the guys after work. Like I want to be taken seriously at work. I want to be able to command respect and do my job really well. This was a person overseeing a group of exclusively. My understanding was exclusively men. Right. And so having to establish for our audience, just the idea of, hey, lunch is an opportunity. You pick up their lunch, hey, you buy my salad if I'm right. And I buy you a salad. Well, let's say probably steak sandwich, whatever you want to call it. Again, allows that opportunity, as you said, without forcing necessarily and the women that we've talked to is, you know, when we start bringing alcohol into this, it creates a whole other dynamic that we haven't. Well, that's why we have to be in a group that wouldn't be one on one. But it's still there's an unease for women and women in our audience of, you know, being the sole woman now with the group of guys having drinks. And science shows that we behave differently in those group settings. But partially the issue around certain kinds of group activities has to do with barriers and intimacy. And so the issue of male female intimacy in the workplace is an unsolved problem, just as with, you know, you could have similar issues with same sex, you know, with with gay supervisors. So there's no way around this. I think it has to be said that in part the workplace is an unsolved work in progress. Yeah, we completely agree. If you take alcohol out, you get one set of problems. If you have alcohol in, you have another set of problems. If you allow certain kinds of jokes, you have one set of problems. If you disallow them, you have others. So I think it's very important to recognize that at this point, like, I don't know that I agree with your advice. I know that it does solve certain problems, but I know that it creates others. If you ask me, you know, I'll buy your salad doesn't have the same feeling as I'll buy the first round, because that has a very specific significance in male culture. Right. We are all figuring this out. And I think this was one of Jordan Peterson's points that a lot of this stuff remains to be seen because we haven't figured out how this can all work. It's not clear whether it all has a solution. Well, I had shared a podcast with Johnny a while back that I found fascinating. And it really looked at the first women in the workplace to move into management. And it was a decade long study looking at the behaviors of the first women to really join the group setting with men.  And then when they remove them and ask them, you know, how are you getting along with your female colleagues? Oh, they said everything that you would expect. But that behavior change was noticed and it happened in sales context. It happened in a consulting context. And I think to that point where women are struggling when they come to us and ask for help is they want to be true to themselves, but they feel like they have to become someone else in these settings to be around the round of drinks or to be collegial with their colleagues that does not feel true to themselves. And they see other people who they feel are true to themselves, achieving success and they're unable to. And that's really where the frustration lies for them. And I see something, I see that and then I see a different thing, which is that a lot of the females that I deal with who are outliers in their field is just some power law and they're absolutely brilliant. Very often are very frustrated with female group dynamics, more than male group dynamics. And one of the things I've often run a seminar that is I've led questions, other people also have this role in my firm. When I lead the questions and I'm interviewing somebody from outside, I'm always looking for female hands because I want to make sure that I'm not making a mistake of going in just you're in a default guy, guy idiom. And we were having lunch afterwards.  I said, it's interesting.  What if we just flip it cognitively a little bit and said, maybe the idea is that you had the most interesting question. We all needed to hear it, but you sat on it because you didn't want to be an eager beaver. That was very interesting for me because it was clear to me that there was a female dynamic in this group that was selecting for different behavior. Maybe it was going to select for more regularity. Maybe it was going to select in general for cohesion, but it wasn't going to select as much for an outlying behavior. And so the question of our men holding back, are men holding women back at work to some extent? Are women holding other women back at work? Yes, also to some extent. Then there's this question of, is there going to be a one time cost for really integrating the workforce where previously all male fields, when they break into more even distributions, maybe it's not going to be that tough to enter in and to find some new idiom that women won't have to be behaving in a male idiom. I don't know about any of these things. Per se, what I do know is that we're all scared to be talking about this because we need to not have this immediately go personal. And this is one of the things that I think is destroying our ability to have conversations, you have to talk at some level of abstraction to create safety rather than say, well, Jim, you just ignored me two meetings ago. And then suddenly, you know, that's all that's going to be heard or talked about for 30 minutes and it's going to leave everybody feeling just incapable of actually talking. Well, this is why I love your advice of put your truth out there, move from caterpillar to butterfly, because anyone who does that understands that there are going to be people who dislike you. And too many of us are the ones to hit the dislike and leave the negative comment. Johnny and I laugh. You know, we listen to a lot of content that stinks. Yeah, I'm not in there hammering in the comments and saying what's wrong with you, why you on your phone. I just tune in the next episode or go find something else. But when you put yourself out there in a position to actually get the arrows, you are less likely to be slinging arrows. It's building that thicker skin, I think, would help everyone because this thin skin is creating an environment where we can't have conversations like this. Three guys trying to talk about workplace dynamics where we're interacting with women, we're trying to elevate them. There's going to be a significant contingent of people who are going to say, you're wrong. I'm wrong. Johnny's wrong. I'm sure the ladders will come. Yeah, but it's coming from people who haven't put themselves out there to develop a thicker skin and not personalize this conversation. This conversation doesn't have to be about you and that one time out at drinks where someone clumsily made a move on you. This could be us trying to grapple with dynamics that listened are pressing and we don't have the answers to. Yeah, I think it's also the case that we need to say why we're having these conversations. I mean, I'm very clear on what matters to me here, which is that I watch people walk away from contributions because they don't like dynamics. And if you imagine that 50 percent of the world's best minds are on female shoulders, how many women are walking away from their special voice, their contributions? You know, I think about this one woman who stood up to the pharmaceutical industry and said, I don't think Thalidomide is as safe as you guys are claiming it is. It's not going to be approved until you actually can show me the data.  OK, well, we have we males have an interest, like a selfish interest. If we want to live in a world with better medicine, better inventions, better democracy of solving these problems, it's not all about some sort of public spirited. Well, what can we do for the women? I mean, I'm just not interested. I'm more much more interested in this out of greed that we are just giving away almost half of humanity by not solving this problem. And it's not public spirited in the slightest. I think we need to also be more honest and open about what our motivations are. I've just watched a couple of women not push brilliant discoveries through because it was too unpleasant. And that that's what really animates me. It's much less fairness and niceness. It's much more this is just a massive loss. And we appreciate you for coming on, having this conversation with us and our audience. And obviously, we know that's what you're doing at the portal. So can you give our audience a place to check out more? Obviously, the portal is a great spot to start your new podcast on the cast network. I appreciate that. Look for the portal at Spotify, Apple or wherever you listen to podcasts. We also have a YouTube channel you should be able to find. And on Twitter, where I probably have my largest following, I'm Eric R. Weinstein. And who are you super excited to have on the portal next? Honestly, I would love to have Eric Lewis, Priya Natharajan. I would really like to have some mathematicians that you guys have never heard of. I would love to have Eric Lander or Ed Boyden, George Church. It is also the case that I want to do celebrity interviews. But what I really want to do is to take a bunch of people that your audience is probably only dimly familiar with, if at all, and show people all the amazing things that are happening that aren't really getting any play and any attention at all to find the spaces that we don't know how to break through to. Awesome. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.


When babies are born, their bodies are over 80% water, but when we grow old and die, our bodies are reduced to 60% water. Similarly, when trees are young, they are very flexible due to how much water they have, but as they grow old, they become brittle and hard without as much water flowing through them. So, you want to stay young, feeling fresh and vibrant longer? Stop overdehydrating yourself and drink plenty of water.

where they expected to spend the winter because there was so much snow and so much cold that it was impossible to travel yes and to find out the reason for their unfriendliness Lewis and Clark have asked the Indian chief led by LeBorn the one-eyed one to come to a console and now we'll find out right now here we go with Dick's adventures say the magic words with me rickety-packer zack-a-zack let's have music for adventurous dick the one-eyed Indian chief LeBorn faces Lewis and Clark and says angrily you have come up to Missouri to open the way for white men's bullets dick protests no no

and yet she cries behold LeBorn these are my brothers Park and LeBorn these men are my friends and dick here's a mysterious click on his wrist and then the woman quickly bears his arm and says see the sacred tokens they wear given to them by my tribe in silence LeBorn looks at the bracelets the Indian made had secretly slipped on dick and Lewis and Clark's wrists dick wonders will the trick work and then LeBorn nods his head he beckons to his tribe and they go away in peace last picture alone at last Lewis and Clark and dick stare and bewilderment who is this woman it was wonderful that she came at the last minute yes it was wonderful because she saved them those trappers were mean men telling lies like that to make the Indians hate the Americans yes they were and I'll bet you'd like to know why why well the trappers don't want the Americans to be friends with the Indians because you see the trappers would buy skins from the Indians besides trapping furs themselves you see and they would buy these skins which are expensive furs from the Indians for just a few beads and these beads would only cost a few cents and then they would sell these skins for a lot of money to people in the city's back east well I bet it was and you see that's why they don't want honest men like dick and Lewis and Clark around you see because they might tell the Indians of furs are worth more money well maybe next week we'll find out who the Indian made is now let's look underneath here's rusty Riley yes and this is the man who's pretending to be friendly to mr.

Did you know that you can send auto-responding emails right through elementary forms? I'm talking about the default built-in elementary form widget. And what I mean by an auto-responding email is, for an example, somebody fills out a contact form. Well, there's an automatic response email that goes out to that user saying, hey, thank you for filling out our form. Somebody will get back to you shortly. Or another really good use case would be, say, a campaign where you ask somebody to sign up for a free download. Well, you can set it up so that way somebody signs up on the subscription to get an automatic email sent to them with the download link inside that email. Not only does this help with automation, but it also helps you to verify the user's email, especially in campaigns like this. And there's a whole other lot of good cases. We can use auto-responding emails.  So make sure to drop in the comments ideas and ways you see that auto-responding emails could help out. So let me show you how this is done. It's actually kind of easy.  So let's jump into Elementor. We're going to set up auto-responding on this form right here. So I'm going to go to the form settings. And then from here, we're going to navigate down to actions after submit. Now by default, we have the collect submissions and email. This first email right here, well, this is the setup for sending whatever gets filled out inside the form to the owner of the website. This is the message that we get. But we want to set up an email that gets sent to the person who fills out the form. To do that, go over here to actions after submit and select on email two. And we are going to set this up. The first thing we want to do is change who the email is sent to. We want it being sent to the user filling out the form.  And you're going to see this short code right here. The field ID equals email. So we want to copy and paste this. You could also change it and put something like your email, you can make this unique to your own, or you could just keep it simple, leave it at email, which is what we're going to do here. So I want to copy that. And then we're going to go back down here to email two. And we're going to paste it here. Now what this is going to do right here is whatever gets filled out inside this form is being sent to whatever email is put right here inside the form. So if you are doing something like, hey, sign up for a free download, well, people can't trick the system by doing that over here for your subject, we're going to treat this as somebody reaching out to us. So we're going to say, I was going to call this auto respond email, just so with that way, we could identify, I want to show you how it turns out inside our emails. Now here inside the messages, this is where we're going to add our message. Now when we put all fields, that is showing the information from all of our fields right here, just like this, this is a field. So we're going to remove that, because we do not want our user to see that. And we're going to say, hey, and we could actually put in and say, hey, to their first name, whatever they put here. So I'm going to go back up here to my form fields. And I'm going to go to first name, then over to advance, because I want to personalize it. Now here it says fill ID name, I'm going to actually change this up right here, put first underscore and name, that way it's going to be different from the last name. I am now going to copy this, go back over here to email to, and I'm going to say, hey, and it's going to echo whatever they put in here. So they put in their name is, is Jackie is going to say, Hey, Jackie, I'm even going to get a little bit creative. And I'm going to put a little waving emoji. Alright, now inside here, this is where you put your message. And I got one I already wrote out. So that way we could do things kind of quick. Alright, thank you for reaching out, we'll get back to you really quickly, something like that. Now one thing that is important to know, just because you create spacing doesn't mean you're going to get spacing. We actually got to put some HTML tags here. I'm going to put a break tag and the break tag looks just like this. When you put a tag like this, it's going to break a line. I'm going to put two to even give it a little bit more space. As you're doing this, test it, see how it looks on your side. Now I'm going to finish up my message. I'm going to put a signature on it. So I already have it copy and pasted. And again, I want to put some spacing here. In fact, let me add a little bit spacing so it's easier to see. I'm going to put more of these break tags. We could actually put more in here, but it does take a little bit of HTML knowledge, but we could do things like even putting our logo here. So I have my logo that is just a link taken out. Let me see from right back over here. I have my PNG logo, you know, I copy this put it inside a tag and then added it right over here. So here is my message. Feel free to put whatever you like inside yours. Now from here, from the front, it's really important you want it from your email. So I got my main Jeffrey at Lightbox Academy email right here from the name. I'm going to put Lightbox Academy and then reply to you also want them to be able to reply to your main email. So that way you could have back and forth email conversations with them if they have more questions. So let's go ahead and update this. Let's give it a try and see what happens. So I'm going to put my full name here. Okay, I'm going to put my other business email here. And then we're going to say this is a test. All right, let's see what happens now. Email went through. Let me check my emails. And here we go. I got the email auto respond email right here. Let's take a look at it. And here's our auto responded email. So look at even got the logo here. And I got a link that goes straight to the website. I put in the logo again, a little bit of HTML knowledge really could help out if you want to get more creative. But really, just a very simple, Hey, I got your message. Thank you for reaching out. We're going to get right back to you. You know, this is going to stand out a lot more is going to make things a bit more automated. This is also very helpful for a sign up campaign for like a free download. If you want to do something like that, you set it up just like this. And I'm going to change my message right here. All right, I have a different message right here. And what I put in here is, you know, thank you for signing up as promised. Here's your download link to the PDF guy. And all I did was put a link to the actual PDF that I uploaded into my media library. So back over a year, I uploaded this PDF. And I took this right here and I put it inside of an ATAC. Again, you got to do a little bit of HTML. But if you got questions, drop them inside the comments. And let's sign up for a free PDF. All right, hook me up. And here we go. I got the new email right here. And I got the download link to download the PDF. Go ahead and click it download it. And here is the PDF that I uploaded to the site. No additional plugins, nothing needed at all. This is all baked right into elements or it's not complicated to set up. We don't need any additional plugins or anything like that. It's already baked into elements work. But you might want to get an SMTP. An SMTP is going to allow your website to send out emails reliably. Now I did create a video about setting up SMTPs with cloudways. I put a link up over here and one inside the descriptions. And if you want to see another video about SMTPs to get a better understanding of it, because it is a bit more complicated, but it is also super important to make sure emails are being sent out, especially if you have like a WooCommerce website. Well, let me know and I could show a bit more about it. Also, if you got questions, drop them inside the comments. Again, if you got ideas and ways of using auto responding emails, drop them inside the comments. I like to get everybody's ideas put them together. We all could learn collectively from them and also sparks up the creative juices. And also, if you do that questions, you know, you're stuck on SMTPs or something like that, drop them inside the comments as well. So myself or other people could help you out. Well, I hope this video helped out.  Okay, that is it for this video. Thank you very much for watching and I'll be back again soon.
