Hello fellow boss babes It's medicine harness back in my blue kitchen for another anti MLM video Today, I'm going to dive a little bit deeper into beach body I know that a lot of people have been requesting beach body and wanting me to take a look at it I've been wanting to take a look at it myself I'm gonna mention at the beginning of the video all the resources for all of my research is always included in the Description down below. So if you have any questions or wondering where I got research from I include all of those links down below if you love anti MLM comment come What if you love anti MLM content? Don't forget to subscribe like and comment down below and Yeah, that's about it, right? I don't know. That's what youtubers are supposed to say. Well, let's get into the video I should probably say what beach body is before I go into all the different stories. Oh my gosh New youtuber here. So beach body is a multi-level marketing company that gets most of its income and revenue through fitness coaching content and classes as well as Shakeology, which is a shake that they sell I've heard a lot of mixed results on the programs and the shakes a lot of people are like I lost so much weight off of this program in shake and it's made the world of the difference for me And some people are like, it's not that great the shake tastes terrible I'm kind of one of those people I've tried it before and it is not good You know if the program is just kind of generic and not worth any money that's being spent in this company So there's a lot of mixed reviews on beach body itself But overall it's an MLM that's really focused on weight loss and health and fitness I honestly think it's kind of one of the blander MLMs in my opinion just in terms of the company itself A lot of the marketing they do it's just kind of like and their their branding and all that just kind of feels plain to me Like almost purposefully plain like almost like they want to skate under their radar and like draw the least bit of attention to them So that's what it kind of feels like to me if I'm being honest I was like the company of culture what they represent can sometimes be completely different from what MLM representatives of that company Represent if that makes sense for example, I feel like with Beachbody like the company itself reads very bland to me It just tries to be like a very cut and dry fitness company, but the representatives are Crazy I Say and trying to be the nicest way possible But they're a little crazy now I'm gonna go into a little bit of stories about previous Beachbody Coaches so all of the stories that I'm gonna be sharing I'll be crediting up on the screen as well as linking down below the full story So you can really read it if you'd like to dive deeper into each story The first story is by and I'm reading off my computer So I'm gonna be looking down the first story is by iron wild fitness, which is the blog I'm gonna just kind of grab bits and pieces from this one It's a little bit of a longer story But she said I honestly think I was just desperate and fell prey to all of the promises of Beachbody income I knew that most coaches never really ended up making a lot of money since Teen Beachbody Publicly post earnings, but I thought that since I had the blog platform and an audience of over 20,000 followers and subscribers I might have a chance to make decent money You can probably guess whether or not I did I want to give you some context so that you understand just how much I put Into this I got started with Teen Beachbody just average after Thanksgiving why is that so amazing? 2018 and was done right before Christmas I'd hope that the timing would help me build quickly since people were doing Christmas gifts and New Year's resolutions That didn't end up being the case. So don't assume that you can make money quickly Which is good for all things if someone's claiming that you can make money quickly doing something You probably won't and you're probably being scammed as soon as I started Teen as oh my gosh slow down Madison slow down As soon as I started with Teen Beachbody, I jumped into training writing and looking for leads I was seriously Beachbody brainwashed. I took what was supposed to be a 30-day training in less than a week I delved into webinars and podcasts blogs and spreadsheets I spent probably a few hours every day working on making connections and developing resources I invited a million and one people to my challenge groups and even had 40 express interests and a few joined The point is that I spent a lot of time working on the biz and guess what three weeks and tons of hours later I had not one sale and that's just absolutely Insane if you think about it. She basically in this blog post debunks all of What the MLM humbots will say if you say that you failed at the MLM Which is like you didn't put enough time into it You didn't invite enough people you didn't reach out enough and you hear that and it's like she spent so many hours Working on this. She studied it. She knew all about it And then she had a big following that you know could have easily converted if they were interested and yet Nobody signed up. No one joined her team She didn't make a single sale and that just shows how Unrealistic all these goals of being like a successful MLM distributor really are I almost think it's purposefully made to look easy Like oh just get four people working under you Just make ten sales a day as if it's all super easy and simple when it's really not It's extremely hard and a lot of people like me and a lot of listeners here really don't like MLM So for distributors, it's probably very impossible to get Anywhere and climb up the ladder in any way in a multi-level marketing company And I think it's so manipulative and demeaning to kind of fail at something and then to have the people that recruited you Be like well, you didn't try hard enough Well, you're not doing this right as if it's like a personal failure instead of maybe a failure on the business itself And the business structure itself, you know, I don't know This is an anti MLM Reddit post posted by General underscore discourse and it says former Beachbody coach here. Let's do a little ask me anything But I'm mainly just gonna be reading her story because I think it's really interesting. I'm a former Beachbody coach I did it from February 2016 to May 2017. I got my start with the best intentions I joined a Facebook friends challenge group in January 2016 Desperate to lose weight. Thanks mostly to my own dedication to the program, which is you know, good for her for recognizing that It's not the program. It's your dedication to a program and honestly coming from a personal trainer background I've seen so many people make results off of many many different programs that my personal Opinion is it's not the program itself But the dedication and work that you put in and how willing you are to stick to something as long as it's you know scientifically proven to work which is you know eating a little bit less calories than the amount you burn and Physically exerting yourself in some way, you know And that's really all it is when it comes down to it Although I personally never had my clients focus too much on the amount of calories They were eating but rather the quality that they were eating. So anyways over if you make success on a specific program It's not thanks to that program. It's thanks to your dedication of working on that program I lost almost 20 pounds during that first 21 days over the course of my tenure I lost almost a hundred pounds tenure So these programs do work the business practices just suck I started out never intending to continue my shagology Autoship beyond the first 30 days then my coach messages me I'm doing amazing and such an inspiration and I should totally join her team as a coach Even if it's just to get a discount on shagology, you got the gist. I just can't speak And that's it. I was hooked. I was a lonely overweight SAHM with two kids under three one of which is special needs the beachology community was my only comfort at the time And they exploited that and that's what's so sad. I literally want to call this scenario the Regina effect top Distributors it feels like their sole job is to very subtly make other people feel bad about themselves So that they join the team and hoping some improving themselves and then once the person joins the Regina character The upline makes them feel so loved. You're doing amazing. You're excelling so much So it makes them feel like they're part of something they're being valued They're part of a community that appreciates them So they feel kind of obligated to stay and that's just like basically overall the biggest flaw with these healthy living MLMs Pretty quickly. I was signing people up posting three to four times a day Attending meetings or trainings through zoom almost daily my hubby started to get annoyed But he held his tongue because I was losing so much weight and I was so happy beach body had become my entire life Yes, I made a little money but not near enough to cover my expenses I was encouraged to open coach accounts in my husbands moms and sisters names to achieve a rank advancement That's four accounts on two different credit cards each with its own auto ship to stay active Basically, I was paying almost four hundred dollars a month to stay diamond Also, my own coach could keep her rank Yeah, that's insane. And that's the thing that I got the most frustrated about in my whole beach body studying escapade Do you ever have random words pop into your head and you're like where how do I know that word and it just randomly? I don't even know if I used it correctly, but in my beach body studying escapade I kept noticing that beach body coaches encourage their new downline To sign up they're very immediate close family members and people that just you know Don't really care But they sign up and like create a fake account for these people like a fake coach account so that they can Have a certain rank or status It's just socially that they're teaching people to do that when that's unsustainable and you're bound to fail Because you can't pay four hundred dollars a month and justify that that's a car payment for a lot of people There's so many better things to spend it on and it's not going to lead Down the line to more and more people you can't fake sign up more and more people and then make money from that It's you know, that's not how life works. So Here's another one recovered beach body coach. Hi everyone. I decided to discuss my beach body coaching experience It's been about four years, but I figured I would share my story for any other recovering mlm folks I used beach bodies workout programs on and off since 2010 I had back surgery at 19 years old and needed something that would be fun And wouldn't flare up my pain at the end of 2013 I had a good friend join them and I wanted to use my weight loss results to help people So I ended up being part of her downline I was a coach for three months and only received two total sales And that really brings out an important point of mlms and your mental health Because imagine entering a business and having that person say you're going to be so successful You're going to make so much money. Everyone in here makes so much money. Everyone in here is so successful. Look at us Look at our success. This is going to be you too. And you're so excited You genuinely feel like that's what's going to happen And then you continually fail over and over again for the next multiple months Imagine that it's easy to see how people might internalize that and think I'm failing. I'm doing that. I'm not able to be successful It's me and then when they go to leave the company, they have their upline saying you didn't work hard enough You didn't do this well enough. You didn't do that. It's easy to internalize that and think wow I really am terrible at this. I'm really like not doing a good job. I failed. I'm a failure What in fact it's the mlm company itself that's designed for you to fail And that's I think the saddest part to me of mlms in general besides of course selling magical beads Those are kind of the stories I wanted to share today I'll include even more stories in the description because there's a lot of stories But they just kind of get repetitive after a while It's a few major themes of I was barely making any sales if I made any My upline kind of pressured me into continually reaching out to people even though I felt uncomfortable I felt bad about myself. I wanted to lose weight Which is why I joined when I left my upline made me feel guilty Like I feel like those are kind of the main points of a lot of these stories I wanted to share some of my absolute favorite instagram posts from the instagram anti beach body coach It's such a good instagram and please please check it out if you're interested in beach body They do so much research on everything and I could never be that involved to be able to Present that level of research and insight into the company. So Thank you anti beach body coach for these posts And yeah guys check them out like a lot of this stuff I'm sharing with you is literally the training material that beach body coaches give to one another for getting more clients You'll see just how like messed up and wrong a lot of this stuff is It says you will use your spouse's business center to help you advance and rank Which in turn will help you generate more income You will sign up your spouses as one of your first coaches, which will make you emerald and eligible for team cycle bonus You will make your spouse an emerald coach, which will help you get to diamond Which makes you eligible for matching bonus You'll make your spouse a diamond which will help you achieve two star diamond Which makes you eligible for quarterly bonuses. So that's kind of a lot There's a lot of levels in there that I really don't care about But um, basically what this person is trying to say with this like training material Is to continually like create these fake profiles these fake coach profiles so that you can advance and rank So that they can advance and rank which is just all Like illegitimate like talk about pyramid scheme a lot of people say like oh well pyramid schemes don't have a product We have a product But you're creating like fake Coaches and fake profiles to take advantage of the system so that you can make more money Which in turn just shows that the whole purpose of this business is to put more and more people under you Like a pyramid scheme That's just my opinion, but I don't know that's what it seems Here's another training material What you're supposed to say If someone gives you an excuse and this excuse is I don't have a time And this is what they train beach body Coaches to say it to this Number one relate to the story. Oh my gosh. I felt the exact same way when I first started I was actually working three jobs Personal training at two different gyms and coaching gymnastics and cheerleading, but I knew I had to work So I worked around my day at first watching my favorite show or sitting on the couch I simply did it with my computer in hand or got my workout done instead It's so funny because it just makes it seem even more disingenuous when people try and interact and sell you the vulnerable people Might be thinking these people actually care about them and are saying all these things because they have their best interest in mind When in reality these people are literally trained to say a certain thing with each kind of scenario in the conversation And none of it is genuine and they don't care at all about the person. I love this post I just really wanted to include it by anti-body beach coach as well Which they seem to have post from the mlm boss, babe And it says build your team is code for you need to recruit if you want to rank up Which is code for the real money is made by recruiting Which is code for you're in an effing pyramid scheme, which Agreed there is one more post I want to share from anti beach body coach Because I just think this literally is the most insane post I've ever seen in my life Like this post is just so wrong to me in my opinion and just shows how Predatory these people are I say predatory and I mean it.  Who thinks that way unless you're just a predator or a sociopath like honestly This is another uh grab from like a beach body coach training thing And this is how the post reads have your team create their dirt list A dirt list is a list of people who would essentially buy dirt from you Because the shakes literally taste like dirt. So of course I knew it. It actually is dirt to beach body shake. All of these shakes are dirt And that's why you need a dirt list of people who would buy dirt from you But anyways, what do they say buy dirt and dirt list means meaning they love and respect you so much They would do just about anything for you after they create their dirt list They should reach out to those people saying something like I'm trying to achieve a goal by the morning from a side hustle business I started I just need two people who want to help me do this I would absolutely love if you were one of those people because you mean so much to me They're telling people to say that to people that basically care for them and love them and therefore will support them and anything they do They're taking advantage of unconditional love. Some people have for others I plan on crushing this and when I do having you right there with me from the beginning will be so freaking special It just feels so wrong to me to Literally tell people like hey Think about people that will basically Support you and whatever you do that love you unconditionally and then take advantage of that love by saying well you support me on this You mean so much to me I it just it genuinely kind of makes me sick And my mind was blown when I saw that post. I was just like what Some of these people man a big problem that I personally have with beach body is How little that they need to do to become a beach body coach It seems like beach body coaches are literally supposed to be like personal training or health coaching But for this mlm specifically, I just think that there's so much to know about health and wellness I spent years and years looking into it and I still know nothing compared to a lot of experts in their field I'm no by no means an expert in any way on any of that It just makes me really sad that they're acting as if they're these experts in health and wellness That can help you on your health journey and that people actually go to them and take their advice instead of going to an actual doctor nutritionist dietitian personal trainer professional It's like these people are just random people who signed up for this and just because Jessica and amber Have great bodies and are naturally and genetically fit doesn't mean that they'll have any Valuable advice to give to you or that they know anything about what they're talking about I just made up the names jessica and amber, but um, I'm pretty sure there's probably beach body coaches name with those names A lot of beach body coaches emphasize before and after photos and don't get me wrong You should be proud of any accomplishments that you make on your health journey But I would say be cautious of making purchasing decisions and the decision whether or not to join this company Off of before and after photos because a lot of them can be doctored very easily And on top of that health and fitness journeys are way more Than just a number on a scale or a before and after photo I feel like a lot of people get so hyper focused on before and after photos progress photos weight and Numbers and losing numbers when there's a bigger picture at play when you're focusing on a health journey At least in my opinion personally I think a big part of that picture is learning to love yourself no matter what weight you are to feel comfortable In your own skin and to have a healthy and loving relationship with your body I mean for example when I was in a modeling agency. I weighed 115 pounds and I was super duper skinny I've gained weight since then. I think I weigh like about 130 pounds at this point and I'm way happier Way happier than I was back then and I feel more beautiful than I was back then beach body pisses me off Not only for being an mlm But for kind of subtly teaching people that they are unworthy Unless they're physically fit or look a certain way If you've been made to feel this way by an mlm rep, please know that you are worthy You are a powerful and beautiful force that's capable of giving and receiving love no matter what stage of life You're in and if you want to change something about yourself That's totally your prerogative But please don't let an mlm humbot be the cause of you wanting to change or better yourself And thank you for coming to my TED talk Just kidding, but thank you guys for watching. That's pretty much all I have to say on beach body and the topic itself For the time being at least please give some love to the Instagram anti beach body coach Yeah, they're they're awesome And if you like this video subscribe And comment down below what other companies you'd like to see me do Thank you guys for all the support until next time. Have a good one


today is the fact that I am a member of the beautiful umma of Muhammed صل اللہ علیہی وسلم the fact that I'm a Muslim the fact that I'm a مؤمن I have I'm a Muslim and what that means is I believe that there is none worthy of worship besides my maker اللہ and I believe that Muhammad peace be upon him is the final messengers of اللہ سبحانہ و تعالى that makes me a Muslim I believe that I shall pray five times a day something known as salah which is not just a supplication but it is a way of worshiping my maker that he has chosen I started off with an intention saying اللہ اکبر and I ended with a سلام تسلیم and in between the two I will do what my maker has taught me through the most beloved محمد peace be upon him I am a Muslim so I will pray in that way five times a day but I will also supplicate in terms of دوار and a different type of prayer that would be because in the English language when I say I pray it could and would include a supplication so I pray before I eat because I'm a Muslim I pray before I sleep because I'm a Muslim I pray when I get up I'm supplicating to اللہ we say الحمدللہ all praise is due to اللہ because I'm a Muslim I will be honest because I'm a Muslim so I'm a Muslim I will pray five times a day and on top of that I will continue with various other types of prayer that have been taught by محمد صلى اللہ علیہ وسلم I'm a Muslim so I will fast in the month of Ramadhan I will make sure that I abstain from what the Almighty has asked me to abstain from because I'm a Muslim I'm a Muslim so I will give charity to the poor something known as Zakat two and a half percent of my wealth I will make sure it goes to the under privileged and the poor I'm a Muslim so I will reach out to the poor in ways greater than merely giving them two and a half percent I'm a Muslim so I will respect and honor those who are poor those who are under privileged and have less than me that's what makes me a Muslim I'm a Muslim so I will consider it a great favor of the Almighty when a need of another person is made apparent to me so that I can be used to alleviate that particular suffering or the need that the person is going through for the sake of the Almighty that's what makes me a Muslim I'm a Muslim so I will reach out to people Muslim as well as non-Muslim because I believe they are the creatures of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ I believe that he who

Allah I'm a Muslim so I will ensure that I do not damage or destroy the environment or the ecosystem because I'm a Muslim I will try my best to remove a harmful object from the path of the people because I'm a Muslim because my prophet taught me that if there is a harmful object on the road if you remove it you will be rewarded it is a part of your faith and your belief سبحان اللہ that's what makes me a Muslim I'm a Muslim so I will make sure that I do not relieve myself in the path of the people I will make sure that when I relieve myself I do so in the most respectful way and I keep myself as clean as possible physically as well as every other form of cleanliness I'm a Muslim so I will make sure that I speak with respect to everyone I will not use vulgar words that's what makes me a Muslim if I use bad words then how can I call myself a true Muslim my brothers and sisters I'm a Muslim so therefore I will ensure that as far as possible I will honor every single creature that is created by he who made me my brothers and sisters I'm a Muslim so wherever possible I will go for the Hajj at least once in my lifetime and I will make sure that that happens quickly as soon as I can once I can afford it because my maker has taught me to respect the sacrifice of all the messengers of the Almighty and in this case Ibrahim علیہ السلام as well as Muhammad صلى اللہ علیہ وسلم the prophet Abraham may peace be upon him what he went through I really am inspired by because I'm a Muslim and therefore I will try my best to go to Makkah to make sure that I fulfill that pilgrimage as per the teaching of Muhammad صلى اللہ علیہ وسلم in order not just to commemorate the life of the prophet Abraham علیہ السلام but in order to fulfill the instruction of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیہ so these are the five pillars of Islam first I believe there is none worthy of worship besides Allah and Muhammad صلى اللہ علیہ وسلم is the final messenger I pray five times a day I give charity to the poor I will ensure that I fast during the month of Ramadan and I make sure that if I can and when I can I will go for Hajj and if possible obviously not from among the pillars but I will go for Umrah because the holy lands are very very dear to me as a Muslim I will pray for their safety and security and I will try my best to connect myself to this beautiful place known as Makkah and Madinah because what is dear to me is there سبحان اللہ I'm a Muslim so I will go to the house of Allah as much as I can on a daily basis because it's the house of my maker why am I saying this I'm saying this because all of us are Muslim and for those who may not be Muslim who will be listening to this while I want you to know this is what makes me a Muslim I'm a Muslim so I will be polite I'm a Muslim so I will be honest I'm a Muslim so I consider my dress an act of worship whatever I wear I will ask myself ایس this an act of worship is this considered an act of worship if not I will change it to make sure that it is morally of a very high standard this is why I always say to my sisters and my brothers who are Muslim remember you are a Muslim so your clothing is an act of worship do you really feel when you wear your clothes that I am just engaging in an act of worship if the answer is no you need to improve your dress so I'm a Muslim so I will make sure whatever I wear I will consider it an act of worship for the sake of the Almighty may Allah make me strong may Allah make me strong let's go further I'm a Muslim so I believe in all the angels amazing I believe that the Almighty has angels and I believe that these angels have different tasks their number is not known by anyone besides Allah and I believe that some of them we are told about some we're not some we're given what their task was and some we're not for example we have جبریل علیہ السلام we have اسرافیل we have میکائیل we have some of these angels they have different tasks I believe that they are angels and I believe these angels they do not disobey Allah they do not disobey Allah in their in his instruction to them and they do as they are told and they don't get tired you سبحون اللیلہ و النہارا لیفتون they declare the praise of Allah morning and evening and they don't ever stop there is no pause they don't get tired according to one of the verses I'm a Muslim so I believe in these angels I'm a Muslim so I believe in all the previous messengers and I will respect them and honor them and I won't allow a single word of blaspheme or a single word of a derogatory nature to be said against any one of those messengers to name a few the prophet Adam the first of mankind may peace be upon him Noah may peace be upon him Abraham may peace be upon him ishmael may peace be upon him Isaac may peace be upon him Jesus may peace be upon him Moses may peace be upon him Aaron may peace be upon him Solomon may peace be upon him David may peace be upon him lot may peace be upon him job may peace be upon him all of them notice I'm a Muslim so I will say may peace be upon him when I say his name because that is the honor and the dignity that I've been taught to accord to those who were the most beautiful of the creation of the Almighty I'm a Muslim so I do not believe that those prophets had bad habits or they were low I'm a Muslim so I believe when the Almighty chose the prophets he chose the best of all mankind to be the prophets so I will say may peace be upon them in the same way I will not allow people to create something derogatory or to in the same way it hurts me to see any derogatory remark statement cartoon video against Muhammad ﷺ in that exact way it hurts me to see the same about the prophet Jesus may peace be upon him or moses may peace be upon him or anyone for that matter may peace be upon them all I'm a Muslim so I believe in all these messengers of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala may peace be upon them and may peace be upon every one of us I'm a Muslim so I believe in the books that were revealed to every one of these prophets the Psalms of David the Old Testament the Bible the Torah subhanallah the tell mood I believe in all these books the original script of every one of these books I believe that they are heavenly books I'm a Muslim so I believe in the Quran and I believe it is the final testament I'm a Muslim so I will ensure that I derive from the goodness of everything that the Almighty has sent down I'm a Muslim so I believe in general that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has sent down all heavenly books and I'm a Muslim so I believe if the original manuscripts are found today they will be in conformity to what the Quran has I'm a Muslim so I believe in the last day I believe in accountability I believe that whatever I do I cannot get away with the bad and I believe I will be rewarded for the patience I have I believe because I'm a Muslim that whatever whatever I do I'm answerable to the Almighty I also believe he will forgive me because he is the most forgiving the most merciful I'm a Muslim so I believe Allah says I am the most forgiving I will continue to forgive those who seek my forgiveness so therefore as a Muslim I will never lose hope in Allah I've committed sin but as a Muslim I believe I need to admit my sin to my maker alone and I need to regret and I need to seek forgiveness and I need to promise him I won't do it again when I do that I'm a Muslim so I believe I'm totally forgiven I'm a Muslim so I believe that my relationship with the Almighty is so beautiful it is me it is my maker I will put my head on the ground only and solely for the one who made me and nobody else I will prostrate only for the Almighty I will not prostrate for anyone or anything else because I'm a Muslim that's what makes me a Muslim I'm a Muslim so I believe that my faith is based on forgiveness I'm a Muslim so I believe my personal savior is he who made me Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ I'm a Muslim so I believe that my personal savior is the one who made me the one whom I'm going to return to the Almighty he and he alone I'm a Muslim so I believe that I should never lose hope in the one who made me he loves me that's why he made me سبحان اللہ I'm a Muslim so no matter what I've done I will always keep on turning to Allah and I will never fall pray to the devil I'm a Muslim so wherever I have gone wrong I will quickly come back and I will say Almighty I know you love me I love you to forgive me I did wrong and I will still have hope right up to the end I'm a Muslim so I believe that when I guide others when I try to guide others I should be the one who practices what I preach to start with I'm a Muslim so I believe that when I help others the Almighty will reward me too I'm a Muslim so I will respect my parents even if I disagree with them I have no reason to be disrespectful I will continue to be kind to my parents that's what makes me a Muslim indeed the Almighty has declared none shall be worshiped besides him and you shall be kind to your parents I'm a Muslim so I will go out of my way to be kind to my parents I'm a Muslim so I will my relations those who are related to me my siblings my uncles my aunts my relatives I will go out of my way to resolve matters and I will not be a problem I will not be the source and the cause of the problem rather I'm a Muslim so I will strive to be the reason of the solution may Allah make me a true Muslim I'm a Muslim my brothers and sisters I definitely believe in accountability if I've oppressed someone I know the Almighty will catch me if I've oppressed someone stolen their wealth hurt them harmed them I need to seek their forgiveness because I'm a Muslim if I don't the Almighty will come back to me after giving me a period of time and punish me severely perhaps in this world if not here then in the here after and at times if I'm arrogant he will punish me in both I'm a Muslim so when I've wronged someone I will not be too proud to go to them and say brother I did something wrong please forgive me my sister I was wrong please forgive me because I'm a Muslim my pride must not come in the way of my relationship with the Almighty because I'm a Muslim I'm not too proud to say I'm sorry I'm a Muslim so I believe we're all equal and we all have the access to the Almighty like each other I'm a Muslim so I will not believe that I am above anyone else because I'm a Muslim I'm taught that we are all the same I'm a Muslim so I will not be a racist I will never believe that there is a preference of color in the eyes of the Almighty know in my eyes I'm a Muslim so I will not stand for the wealthy man when he is wrong in a dispute against a poorer person but I will stand firm for justice or you who believe or people stand firm for justice no matter what for the sake of the Almighty another verse be it against yourselves or your parents or your family members etc etc and in another verse Allah says stand firm for justice do not let your hatred for a people make you become unjust wow I'm a Muslim so I will stand firm for justice even if that justice happens to be upon the side of a person I don't like because I'm a Muslim I'm a Muslim so I will be kind to everyone I've already said that but I'm repeating it because the aspect of justice when I do good I'll be rewarded there is a final day there is a day of judgment I'm a Muslim so I believe the world will come to an end one day I'm a Muslim so I believe that I'm going to be standing in front of my maker one day and he's going to take account of my deeds I'm a Muslim so I have a hope that the day I die I will go to a better place than I am right now I'm a Muslim so I know that when I die and I'm buried I'm at the mercy of the one who made me in the first place I'm a Muslim so I have I will pray for those who are sick and ill because I know that through that prayer Allah will grant me good health too I'm a Muslim so I will pray for those who've passed away that the Almighty have mercy on them because I want mercy too may Allah have mercy on those who've passed away and may Allah grant cure to those who are sick and ill across the globe I'm a Muslim so I will reach out to those who are suffering across the globe as a result of warfare that doesn't make sense as a result of so much of fighting and killing that we could actually stop but unfortunately the powers are not stopping it but I will reach out to them through my prayer through my money through my time through my effort and so many other ways whatever I can I'm a Muslim so I will not be judgmental because I know the Almighty has kept a day to judge others that's what makes me a Muslim owner of the day of judgment is Allah he has set aside a day to judge I'm a Muslim so I know that if I were to judge others I would be wrong because the Almighty is the ultimate judge but I'm a Muslim so I will never ever turn away good advice with the excuse of them being judgmental I'm a Muslim so I appreciate advice I'm a Muslim so I will give advice in the most polite way دین نصیحہ I will be genuine towards others I'm a Muslim so I will read the Quran on a daily basis because that's the most powerful word in existence I'm a Muslim so I will make sure that the word of the Almighty the word of the maker is part of my daily life even if it be a verse a day I'm a Muslim سبحان اللہ I'm a Muslim so when I see some lost property I will pick it up and be honest and try and look for the owner I'm a Muslim so I won't steal I won't drink I will never touch alcohol because I'm a Muslim the brain that the Almighty has given me I have to maintain it at the optimum level at the highest possible level and I will never ever compromise that with any intoxicant I'm a Muslim so I won't reduce my life to a cheap nightlife with the lowest of morals filled with entertainment that happens to be low and dirty I'm a Muslim so whatever fun I want I will make sure it is clean I'm a Muslim so I won't gamble because that's prohibited by my maker gambling is not allowed I'm a Muslim so I won't commit adultery because that's prohibited by the Almighty when I want to do things I'll do it the proper way I'm a Muslim so I will not watch that which is immoral such as pornography I'll stay away from it and wherever we faulted we asked the Almighty's forgiveness because I'm a Muslim I will continue having hope in the Almighty I will keep smiling because smiling is a charity I will make sure that I try my best to let people feel the positive side of things rather than the negative I'm a Muslim they will always be hope for a Muslim I'm a Muslim I have conviction that the future will be better than the past the future will be better than today should I say meaning if we have difficulties and problems as a Muslim we look forward to the solutions and we are convinced the day will come when that matter will be resolved I'm a Muslim so I will bear patience if Allah has tested me with something I'm a Muslim so if Allah takes away my loved ones may Allah not do that to us I will bear patience and I will say we all belong to Allah we're all going to return to Allah because I'm a Muslim that's what I'm taught to do I need to be patient and I know if I'm patient upon the loss of a love the loss of a loved one I will be earning paradise I'm a Muslim so I hope that Allah will grant me paradise I'm a Muslim so I know that I have no certain knowledge as to the condition upon which a person will die therefore I will never doom someone who happens to be sinful nor will I look at myself as higher because I don't know upon what condition I will die and I don't know upon what condition they will die they might become even better than me within a short space of time and who knows we may lose our faith may that never happen to us I'm a Muslim so I will continue asking the Almighty to grant me happiness to grant me goodness to grant me faith and conviction to take me away in a condition that he's pleased with me because I'm a Muslim I will not just rely on my powers my brain my energy because I know all those faculties were given by the Almighty I'm a Muslim everything I've achieved I will relate it to the Almighty not to me not to my brain I'm a Muslim so the wealth I have I will share it Subhanallah I'm a Muslim look at how beautiful Islam is every one of us can relate to everything I have said just now I'm a Muslim so I will visit the sick and ill and I will pray for them Subhanallah amazing I'm a Muslim so I will help people do good and I will discourage them in a nice way from bad I'm a Muslim so when I look at every single human being I should be seeing some goodness Subhanallah and if I don't see goodness it's due to my weakness and if I'm not able to benefit from someone I don't need to harm them Subhanallah I'm a Muslim so if I am being harmed by someone I'm allowed to stay away from them but I'm not allowed to harm them in return I'm a Muslim I'm a Muslim so when I see someone who's been harming me when I see someone who has been trying hard to hurt me yes I will defend myself in a respectful respectable manner but I will not do that which displeases Allah I'm a Muslim I need to love for my enemies what I love for myself I need to want the goodness for them to I'm a Muslim so if I have conveyed the message of Islam to the enemies of Islam in a way that they do not turn to Islam but they understand that Islam is a beautiful religion I've achieved great success by the help of Allah conversion reversion and turning faith doesn't belong to me belongs to the Almighty but the trial is mine I'm a Muslim so I'll keep on trying I'm a Muslim so I believe that through my great good character and conduct others will be inspired to be better people if Allah grants me that so may Allah grant me that and every one of us I'm a Muslim and I firmly believe that my messenger may peace be upon him Muhammad sallallahu ala salam taught me that the best from among you are those with the best character لہذا ہم my life time development my character and conduct I will spend a lifetime learning how to speak to people learning how to make people feel important and I will seek forgiveness every single day from the Almighty because my most beloved messenger peace be upon him used to seek forgiveness when he did not even need it I need it so I will seek it even more اے اللہ Forgive me Forgive every one of us my brothers and sisters aren't you impressed by what Islam is all about I'm a Muslim so I will be the best to my wife and I promise you go and try asking a question How's this guy I will continue to work so hard that the answer will be he's the best possible guy انشاء اللہ that be for me and for all of us say I mean I'm a Muslim so I will ensure that my children look up to me as a role model I'm a Muslim so I will not want bad habits within me for my children to see and be depressed about how dad is and how bad the dad is noticing that the difference between bad and dad is just the flicking of the d and the b subhanallah don't be a bad dad be a good dad انشاء اللہ I'm a Muslim so I will be a role model for those who are younger as far as possible now I want to tell you I'm a Muslim what about those who are not well if you want to enter the fold of Islam I can tell you something I've already mentioned the pillars of Islam and iman in fact iman includes also to believe that good and bad fate comes from the Almighty good and bad fate when something good happens I related to the Almighty I said that when something bad happens I related to the Almighty he it was destined but I don't become depressed about it I continue and I say look good and bad fate comes from the Almighty there's deeper explanation to it but my brothers and sisters there is a last day when we will be returning to Allah before we return to him in a manner that he is displeased with us we can make him by the will of Allah by his own will we can make him pleased with us if we keep trying so if someone is not a Muslim and they want to enter the fold of Islam they need to declare just a declaration believe it in the heart and start learning and work towards it what is it I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah that's what you need to say and I bear witness that Muhammad peace be upon him is the final messenger of Allah that's what you need to say those two sentences make you a Muslim اشہدو اللہ علاہ اللہ I bear witness there is none worthy of worship besides Allah و اشہدو انہ محمد رسول اللہ and I bear witness that Muhammad peace be upon him is the messenger of Allah the final messenger of Allah that's the crux once you declare that you're a Muslim if you believe it in your heart you're a Muslim when you start working towards it you're a Muslim سبحان اللہ and all the goodness that we've mentioned should become yours and the last thing I want to say before I close today all of us seated here you heard me saying what Islam is all about I want you to ask yourselves am I really a Muslim am I really a Muslim I just heard everything do I really fit into all of this if I don't well I need to insha Allah make an effort to become a real Muslim may Allah help us all to become بیوڈی فل مسلمین

DRB FY 2023 number 23 Kendrick property management to construct a fence at the rear of the building at 69 Main Street and DRB FY 2401 white line brewing company to install tables and chairs for outdoor dining at 24 North Pleasant. We'll move on to approval of the May 22 meeting minutes, then general public comment period, other business and let's get started with Kendrick property management. Do we have a representative in attendance tonight? I believe we do. We have a Mr. Croy Paquette from Four Seasons Fencing. I could promote him to be a panelist so he can present to the board. All right. So Croy, you have to accept the invitation when you get it. Alrighty. Can you hear me? Hi, Croy. Nice to see you. Yeah, we can hear you just fine. Quick question for you. Are you able to share your screen or would you like me to do that on your behalf? The images that you sent? Yeah, I'm not sure how to do that. I'm operating from my handheld device. I could not make it back to my office in time. No problem at all. I've got you. I just have to track down those files. Do you wanna start off with like a little introduction to what you're proposing? Yeah. So I was Scott from Kendrick Property Management. Got in touch with me in regards to putting in a few panels in the rear of 69th Street. And basically, I believe the neighbors had continued to use the space that's, I guess, not rightfully theirs. So basically, it's just a divider there between the living quarters, if you're looking from the rear to the right in the business that's going in at 69th Main Street. Somehow lost track of, oh, there are the pictures. Okay, great. Can you see this one? Did the screen just change? Somebody told me it's the right picture with the cardboard box in the front. And you sent this, the picture of the fence. Yeah, that's the cut sheet for the panel. So it's a six foot height. The panels are eight foot in length and there will be three panels totaling 24 linear foot. And there's the drawing. Yep. Okay. Lindsay or Katherine, anything to ask or comment on? No, it looks fine to me as I suppose the one question is, is there going to be any conflict about the placement? You said this fence will be on your property, right? Or the property of the people you're doing the fence for, not in the property, not in the adjacent property, right? No, ma'am, it will be on the property of 69th. Yeah, okay, all right, okay, fine. Looks good. Lindsay, any thoughts? Can we go back to the previous slide, please? Here's that one. And then this one. Yeah. And then the drawing. Yes, hang on. This one? Yeah. Yeah, I think it's, I mean, I don't see any issues. As long as the electrical box, looks like it's going to be pretty close to that post, but otherwise I'm not too concerned. Yeah, I would say nor am I. I mean, I don't know if it says anywhere of the material of the fence. Oh, vinyl, okay. Yeah. So it's not going to be maintenance. It'll be white. I think it'll be an improvement. Right. And then there's no door access to the property on the right. No, like right, no pathway or anything like that. So I- No, it's not obstructing pathway. Okay. All right, so. Okay, I move that we approve the petition for this fence as is. All right. Second that. All those in favor? Okay. Oh. Hi. unanimous vote. Thank you.  Good to go. All righty. So I can find that permit in the, when I log on to the Amherst.gov site. So basically I'll tell Jennifer Mullins who you've been contacting with that the DRB gave the approval to go ahead and move forward. So you can reach out to her about next steps. I believe you have to get, I'm not sure what kind of permit you need after. In fact, I don't know if you need a administrative approval or not, but you could reach out to her tomorrow and I'll let her know that there be approved your permit to go ahead and move forward with the, with the fence. Erica, we do have a hand race. I don't know if somebody in the audience just see wall. I don't know if you wanted to let the person speak or what, but. Well, I suppose we could, if it's a member of the public we could invite a public comment on this at this time.  That's fine. I'll let the person to talk real quick. Here we go. Hi, my name is Jesse Wall and I would like to say that Catherine is sending me very explicit images. And that's all I have to say. Thank you.  It's a Zoom bomber. All right. Well, this guy's going to get removed. There you go. I caught that early on Catherine. I knew as soon as you started going down that route. Yeah. Sorry about that Catherine. Sorry about that. It was a uncomfortable moment. Yes it was. So, Croy, you're all set. All righty, perfect. Thank you very much. Thanks very much. All right, thank you. Okay. And then we'll move on then to white line brewing. All right, so we have a Mr. Ray Barry and I can promote to panelists for you. Excellent. And Ray, you have to accept the invitation when you get it. Nice background. Hi Ray, can you hear us? He might be fixing some stuff on his end with his speaker and whatnot. We'll give him a few seconds. All right. And I will, I'll do a really quick screen share to kind of tighten up a little bit. We have already approved the signage, what kind of facade treatment of white lion and this proposal is for the outdoor dining space, whoops, not my touchscreen, which is in the plan here. And I believe that they're not proposing really any changes at all. They have cleaned up the table surfaces, repainted the fencing, cleaned up the black. As far as I know, there aren't any proposed changes here. I mean, that's something that we can ask Mr. Barry when he comes in. So it looks like he must have logged off the meeting. So if you don't mind, I might, is okay if we exit out of screen share real quick just so I could see if he might have rejoined as an attendee. Oh, there he is. All right, so I'm gonna try promoting him to panelists again. He has to accept another invitation. Oh, there he is. Sorry about that. I don't know what happened. My computer went down. Thankfully my iPhone was readily hand in my hand. So here we go. Great, well, we're happy to have you. Thank you for being here. I was just giving a brief introduction, but it's probably better that you do that. Could you briefly describe your proposal tonight?  So thank you for your time. Last time I was in front of the panel or the commission was for the exterior signage. So we got through that lovely process. A lot of compliments. So thank you for all of your assistance. Today I'm in front of you and regarding the outdoor seating area that we're presenting to you. And I'm presenting a layout that has not changed. We're utilizing the setup that was previously utilized by the previous occupant. The previous occupant, as well as White Lion, the previous occupant had custom made foot plates and seating placed on the exterior of the space. We went ahead and refurbished all of the table tops, cleaned up the concrete area, repainted the rot iron fencing, and basically just beautified the area. We're also finalizing the installation of new rope lighting to accentuate the space. So the consumer, the streetscape, those that were accustomed to what it looked like in the past, they'll see a similar setup. Obviously it will be refurbished and brightened up, but we thought that the existing footprint and the existing layout was well placed and there were no changes to that particular setup. And would you like me to screen share your images or are you able to do that? Now that I'm utilizing my phone, I will not be able to screen share, so I apologize. Well, I'll pop those back up so that everybody can see. All right, so here's the picture of the outside. Clean up, are the lights going under the canopy? Yes, so the lights will be under the canopy. If someone were to walk by later this evening, you will see that the lights are operational. So we're pretty excited about that. Again, it just brings another level of the ambience and optic to the outdoor seating space. Great, and then we've got the floor plan of the outdoor seating space here. The canopy is over in this section and this one's just the print document. Okay, so do you have anything to add or should I open it up to comments and questions from the board members? No, I think I'm comfortable in having it open up to the board members. Okay, so Lindsey, do you wanna start off this time? Any thoughts? I think it looks great. I'm very excited about it. I don't have any concerns. Are there any other views? This is the only one. Yeah, this is the only one they provide. Okay. Yeah, the only thing that even slightly caught my eye was probably not in our preview. It's just the door slaying out from the brewing area and the plan. Just looking like it might wanna go on the other side under the canopy, it looked like it might. Can you go back to the planner? This one. Yeah. It's probably just, you know, because I look at plans all day, but it just catches my eye because it's kind of like, looks like the way it's drawn. It's sort of cut off by the brewing equipment, but it's probably not part of what you're here for. So otherwise, I think it looks great. I'm very excited about it. Catherine, any thoughts? Well, I'll have to say, probably driven by this place 10,000 times. I didn't realize how much seating area was there and it looks really good. And I also, the canopy, again, I had no idea there was a canopy there, but it looks good. And I definitely think the lighting will add a nice touch, a nice ambiance to it, and the furniture is very tasteful and shouldn't in any way offend anybody. So yeah, it looks good. And the signage looks wonderful. So good to go. Great. Similarly, I don't have any comments or any critiques at all. A comment is that I think in the past, a previous resident of this space, Boone Hopps of the side of the, over here on this side, maybe on the corner. And I thought it was a really nice touch to kind of add some green to all of the black canopy and the black furniture. But that would never hold you to that. It looked really nice. All right. So barring any suggestions for biochanges that we want to make of. May I just ask a question? Sure. I think you have a picture of the seating in your packet. Is that right? The chairs? I don't. I either didn't download it or it wasn't in there. Oh, okay. Because I thought those came to the planning board, Ray's coming before the planning board on the 2nd of August, I think. So he can show the chairs to the planning board. They look fine. I just wanted to make sure that you didn't have any issues with the chairs, but okay. Yeah, I don't think I ever got a copy of the chairs, but I remember somebody from the office showed it to me after the fact, so. They're metal, right? Metal chairs? Yes, they're black. They're black. I believe that the base is a dark black or a dark, or excuse me, a dark gray or black. And they're all purpose chairs that will be removed in the evening. And obviously during inclement weather to compliment the smaller two seat type tables. So I believe it's a total of six chairs altogether. Are they metal chairs or are they, I mean, if something else like plastic? They are the PVC universal plastic vinyl type chairs. Okay. And when people are at these high tables, do they just stand? Yes, they are tabletop stand-ups if we need to accommodate someone that wants to sit, there are bar stools that we can, that are on the inside, bring out to accommodate their request. Thank you. You're welcome. All right. I move that we accept the petition as presented. Second. Thank you. All those in favor, can you say aye? Aye. Great. That's a unanimous vote. Thank you very much for being here with us tonight. Thank you very much. I appreciate all of you and looking forward to our grand opening sometime soon. Well, it looks great. Yeah, it looks great. Okay. Thank you so much. I appreciate everyone. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right, bye-bye. Closing some tabs here. Next move is to review the minutes from the last meeting. Did everybody get a chance to take a look at those or should I screen share? I'm okay. I don't think I did, if you don't mind. No problem. I don't know if I was present. I was. You are. Yeah. Excellent. Yeah, thank you. Yes, it was another quick one. We did, the Blue Ingo wasn't, they were removed from the agenda. So we talked about, whoops, the propane tanks in the back of the building by Town Hall, Wallards and things. Hang on, let me make it so that I can scroll through. All right, I'll do a slow scroll here. I got, I got this far. All right. That's good. Most of the approval when we adjourned. That was an efficient meeting. That was an efficient meeting. Wow. This one's a close second. I'm doing great. I measure we can get one page of this for the minutes. So we'll see how that goes. So can I have a motion to approve that? Meetings, minutes of May 22nd, 2023. I move that we approve the minutes on May 22nd. Second. All in favor? Aye. Do we have any members of the public who would like to speak tonight? Any other business? Great. Rob, anything we're missing? Uh, so just update Lindsey who just joined. So we're looking for two more members to join who have to be appointed from the Star Commission and the playing board. The Star Commission is going to appoint a representative at their next meeting, which is next week. And the playing board, according to Chris Brushrup, is going to appoint their member sometime in the near future. So you said, like, what, mid-August? Sometime in August. Either the second or the 16th. But the problem is that they don't have, they don't currently have another architect other than Bruce Coldham, who's already serving on PVPC and Doug Marshall, who's already the chair. So I'd have to kind of arm twist either one of them to serve on DRB. Do they have to be an architect from the planning board? Is that what you're saying? A design professional, architect, landscape architect, or other design professional, I think is what it says. Could it be somebody who's an artist? Like, does that count? Yeah, or someone with equivalent professional training? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, we welcome whoever comes to join us and appreciate their service. So we'll try to keep our meeting short. I'm like the planning board. Okay. That's all I have. Okay, Grant, and we meet again. So I would say as of right now, the next meeting is looking like August 21st at five. And we might have another application coming up. And that's all I know about right now. So very, very slow summer for DRB. Excuse me. I think it was August 28th. Yes, that's correct. That's my bad. August 28th. I was looking at the wrong day. It's August 28th at five. It's the next meeting for this board. All right. Fantastic. Thank you. All right, all right. Grant, so move to adjourn. Second. Yes. Have a lovely night, everybody. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you. We'll see you soon. Bye. Thanks.
