O Solitude, if I must with thee dwell, by John Keats, read for LibriVox.org by Alana Jordan, in the great state of Missouri. O Solitude, if I must with thee dwell, let it not be among the jumbled heap of murky buildings, climb with me the steep, nature's observatory, whence the dell, its flowery slopes, its river's crystal swell, may seem a span. Let me thy vigils keep, amongst boughs pavilioned, where the deer-swift leap, startles the wild bee from the fox-glove bell, but though I'll gladly trace these scenes with thee. Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind, whose words are images of thoughts refined, is my soul's pleasure, and it sure must be, amongst the highest bliss of humankind, when to thy haunts, to kindred spirits flee.

The Kraft Foods Company presents Harold Perry as the Great Gilder Sleeve. The Great Gilder Sleeve is brought to you by the Kraft Foods Company makers of the famous Philadelphia brand cream cheese. Philadelphia brand is far and away America's favorite cream cheese. That's because it's so creamy white, so delicately rich, and so fresh tasting. But remember there's only one Philadelphia cream cheese. It's the brand that's made by Kraft and guaranteed fresh. So when you buy cream cheese always look for the name Philadelphia brand right on each silvery package. In the summer field the early morning sun shines warm and friendly across the water commissioner's desk. Outside the birds are singing the grasses sending tender shoots through the soil. And it's the kind of day when the average man has spring fever. And being a big man, the Great Gilder Sleeve naturally has a little more than average.  Oh I thought you'd read it. I did Bessie but I want to put it under my feet. The mayor always gets upset when he sees scratches on top of my desk. Would you mind waiting one second? I'm reading about the whistling bandit. Whistling bandit? They say he's the most dangerous criminal since Dillinger. He struck again Mr. Gilder Sleeve. He robbed the post office in Dexter. Dexter? So he's getting pretty close. And how did they know it was the whistling bandit? Well as he left with the money the watchman heard him whistling pennies from heaven. That's his theme song. Theme song? Oh my goodness. What a bandit won't do these days for publicity. My boyfriend says that the police don't catch him soon. He's going to have that song back on the hip parade. Well if I ever ran into him he'd change his tune. Now Bessie, give me the paper and put your nose to the grindstone. Yes, sir. Whistling bandit. What won't they think of next? Gilder Sleeve. Oh good morning Mayor Twilliger. Good morning Bessie. Well Mr. Mayor, come in. Thank you. At Gilder Sleeve there's little something I think you'll enjoy doing. Oh? I just had a telephone call from the Game Warden and the fish are biting like mad up at Lake Chester. They are? Well, well. But I don't think I should take his word for it Gilder Sleeve. It just occurred to me that the Mayor and one of his commissioners who loves the sport should go up there and do some angling. Well I'm a pretty good angler. You can count on me. Good. Then the police commissioner and I can go fishing. Sure. The police commissioner. Why do you wouldn't mind assuming Armstrong's duties for a few days? But Mr. Mayor, I thought... Now Gilder Sleeve of all the city commissioners you're the most logical one to leave in charge of his department. I am?  If you look in on Armstrong's office once a day, that'll be sufficient. I'll go ahead and finish reading your newspaper. Oh, Gilder Sleeve. Yes?  Oh, thank you. Very nice. I hope he falls in the lake, the old halibut. If I had to do the police commissioner's work too, I may not even go to his office. I'm not going to let the Mayor push me around. Come on on. Time for supper.  I'm not very hungry. What's the matter?  At the water department? Are you kidding? Leroy? That's not to be disrespectful. There's plenty to do down there. The Mayor came in today and left me in charge of another department. Yeah? You in charge of streets and sewers again? Leroy? Hello, Uncle. Hello, Marjorie. Congratulations. Congratulations? For what? For being appointed acting police commissioner. Police commissioner? Gee, I didn't know that was it, Uncle. Well, Leroy, it's nothing but extra work and no pay, except maybe a fish. Well, it sounds very important to me, Yankee. Here it is in the evening paper. It is? Today, Mr. Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, popular city water commissioner, was appointed acting police commissioner. Well, I didn't think they'd put it in the paper. The Mayor, before leaving with Commissioner Armstrong on a business trip... Business trip. ...stated to the press that he could think of no one who would make a more capable police commissioner than Mr. Gildersleeve. He did? Leroy, go see if the paper boy on the corner has any extra copies. Okay, Uncle. Do? Well, he's head of all the police. Yes, I most certainly am. Oh! Little Leroy. When do you take over your new duties, Uncle Mort? First thing in the morning, my dear. Ain't nobody going to come any... We're all excited, Birdie. Uncle Mort's been appointed police commissioner. Police commissioner? Of course, I'm still a water commissioner, too. Yes, sir. But you mean you head of all the police? That's right, Birdie. Police commissioner. Birdie, what are you laughing at? I just wait till the law whistles at me for Jay walking again. What's this? I say, don't talk to me. Tell it to the police commissioner. No, Birdie. And wait till they tell me to keep the cans out of alley. And I say, don't talk to me. Tell it to the police commissioner. Birdie, let's not take advantage of this thing.  What, Birdie? I say, don't talk to me, commissioner. I mean, police commissioner. This is his office, I guess. Police commissioner Armstrong on the door. I wonder if I shouldn't have that changed. No, not just for a couple of days. Good morning. Young man, what are you doing in this office at 9 o'clock in the morning? Oh, I work here. Oh. I'm assistant to police commissioner Armstrong. What's your name? Armstrong. Oh? I'm a relative. Yeah, relative. Well, Armstrong, I'm the new police commissioner. Yes, I know. Now then, where's the commissioner's desk? Everything's taken care of, Mr. Gilder-Sleeve. If anything comes up, I'll call you at the water department. The water department? Not so fast relative, Armstrong. I was appointed police commissioner to operate from here. Okay. And Armstrong. I've asked police chief Gates to come over here this morning and report. Report what, sir? Well, crime. Oh. So send him in. Nice office here. Quite an arsenal in this cabinet. Yes, sir. That's the display of all the weapons used by the police force. Very impressive. What's this on the desk? Well, a gold badge. Oh, that belongs to commissioner Armstrong. I'd better pick it up and lock it up. Never mind. Well, I think I'll pin it on. Anybody home? Hello, Judge. Good morning, Gilder. Well, are you giving yourself a medal already for your work in the police department? I'm pinning on my badge, Judge. Well, don't puncture yourself, Gilder.  All right, Hooker. What's on your mind? I'm very busy. Well, I'll only take a minute because I'm double parked downstairs, but I just have to run up and verify my suspicion. What suspicion?  Now, Judge... I thought this was your busy day at the water department, Gilder, with all the end-of-the-month collections coming in. Well, if any crimes come in, they'll need me here, too. Oh, Balderdash, Gilder. The biggest crime in this town is the way you run that water department and you know it. Watch it, Judge. If someone violated the law, you wouldn't know what to do anyway. Oh, wouldn't I? Well, good morning, gentlemen. Good morning, Chief. Hello, Chief.  What's up, Mr. Commissioner? Do you have some heels you want me to run down? Ho, ho, ho. You bet I've got a heel, and I want you to arrest him. What? Chief?  But, Gilder, that's my car. Give him a ticket, Chief. But, Mr. Gilder's asleep. He's the judge. The ignorance of the law is no excuse. Give him a ticket. I knew I was gonna like this job. I've covered the town pretty well this morning. I got a whole notebook full of changes to make in the police department. Better take time out for lunch, though. Oop, look at that woman crossing the street on a red light. Good thing I've brought this police whistle. Don't you go and tootin' that whistle at me, miss. Yeah, hello. Hey, Birdie, I didn't know it was you.  Now, Birdie, let's wait for the light to change. I've been waitin' here just like everybody else, but nothing happened. What do you mean? The light stuck on red. Oh, my goodness. What kind of a police department has Chief Gates run here? Well, I guess the commissioner will have to get out there and direct traffic. All right, everybody. Stop. Move. Walt. What can I do for you? Well, I worked up quite an appetite this morning. May I look at your menu? Well, if you want to. What? Looks just like it did yesterday. Oh. Well, uh, you might give me a Denver sandwich. That's a good direction. I had a nice compliment on our Denver sandwich today. That's all? Traveling man from Denver. Uh... Hurry up with the sandwich, Peavey. You better give me a double scoop of potato salad and a double mauled milk. My, my. Well, if I'm gonna be a policeman, I may as well eat like one. How's that?  I didn't tell you I hadn't read the paper. Well, it didn't anything... Catch your eye? Yes, uh, Daisy May. It's quite a girl. Daisy May, Peavey, I wasn't thinking of the comics. I was referring to an article about me being police commissioner. Well, if you read what you think is funny, I'll read what I think is funny. Peavey, I'll have you know that I'm in charge of the whole police department for a few days. You don't say. You bet. I've taken over. Imagine you have. What? Congratulations, Mr. Kelly. Well, thank you. You know what I've done on my first date? Gilly, I've been looking all over for you. Hello, Judge. The first thing I did, Peavey, was to set Chief Gates straight on a few things. Gilly, listen to me for a minute. Judge, stop worrying about your traffic ticket.  That's not it, Gilly. Go on, my coach, leave. I'm talking to Peavey. Well, are you telling him about the whistling bandit? Don't you worry about the whistling bandit. Nobody's gonna get away with anything while I'm in charge. Gilly, what is it, Judge? The whistling bandit has struck Summerfield. Huh? He's strutting around directing traffic. Oh, my goodness. My, my. I better get out of here. Judge, what did he rob? That's what I've been trying to tell you. He robbed the safe at your water department. Oh! He can't do that to me. Well, I wouldn't say that. Ladies, have you seen the tempting new gold nugget salad pictured in the current magazines? Well, don't miss it, because this spring beauty is not only good-looking, but such good-eating, too. Made with luscious golden can-clean peaches from California and delicate white Philadelphia brand cream cheese. Gold nugget salad will make a real hit with your folks, and you'll be pleased, because it's so easy to fix. Just divide a package of gloriously rich Philadelphia brand cream cheese into quarters and sprinkle with grated orange rind. Serve those golden nuggets on crisp lettuce with drained California cling-peach slices, add maraschino cherry halves, and that's it. Mm-mm, what a wonderful combination. The juicy goodness of cling-peaches and the delightful fresh taste of Philadelphia brand cream cheese. Yes, Philadelphia brand is always exquisitely fresh. You see, Kraft makes this cream cheese fresh daily and hurries it to dealers' ice-cold. Philadelphia brand cream cheese is guaranteed fresh. That's why it's important to get genuine Philadelphia brand when you buy. Look for the name on that famous silvery package, Philadelphia brand cream cheese guaranteed fresh by Kraft. Well, the day the Great Gilder Sleeve became temporary police commissioner, the dreaded whistling bandit struck Summerfield. This is particularly embarrassing to our hero since the bandit's first target was the water department. Now the great man and his secretary are in the office trying to figure out just how it happened. Bessie, where were you when the safe was robbed? Me? I was down having a malted milk. Oh, Bessie, one of these days you're going to turn into a malted milk. I hope it's chocolate. Let's be serious, Bessie. You shouldn't have left the office. But it was my lunch hour, Mr. Gilder Sleeve.  I did? Well... Commissioner Gilder Sleeve. Hello, Chief. I've been waiting for you. Hello, Chief Gates. Hello, Bessie. Mr. Gilder Sleeve, have you seen the extra on the streets? Extra? Listen to this. Bandit Rob's water department, while new commissioner has Chief of Police up a pole fixing traffic light. What's this? Mr. Gilder Sleeve, when a robbery is committed, up a pole is a very embarrassing place for the Chief to be. Now, Chief, you put the department on quite a spot. This isn't good publicity for us. Well, it isn't good publicity for me either. It is for me. The newspapers took my picture. Please, Bessie. Well, Chief, what are you going to do about this? What am I going to do about it? What are you going to do about it? What? You know so much about running the department. Run it. But, Chief, I need your help. I don't know why you'd ask the Chief of Police for help. All I'm good for is to shinny up poles and fix traffic lights. I know that, but... Oh, you do. Good day, Mr. Gilder Sleeve. Thank you, Chief. Come back. Put yourself into this. Let's see you get out of it. I don't know what the Chief is so excited about. The papers say wonderful things about you, Mr. Gilder Sleeve. They do? Yes, sir. Mr. Gilder Sleeve, what's a keystone cop? Oh, my goodness. I've been trying to get in touch with you, Chief. Well, I was in Gilder Sleeve's office. What's up, Armstrong? Well, I telephoned the sheriff in Dexter and got some information on the whistling bandit. He's a smart operator. Oh? He pulls a little job, then hires himself as a detective to catch himself. Then he pulls a bigger job. Say, now, that's pretty clever. I guess I better give this information to Commissioner Gilder Sleeve, too. There's no use in calling him. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but Police Commissioner Gilder Sleeve couldn't catch his own big toe. What else do you have on the bandit? Well, he's a huge man armed and desperate, and he's always whistling pennies from heaven. Yes, I know. I wonder where that scoundrel's headed for now. My first day as Police Commissioner, Bessie, and I made a monkey of myself. Yes, sir. The chiefs left me. The regular commissioner's gone fishing with the mayor. Bessie, I guess it's up to you and me. Let's try to reenact the crime. Mr. Gilder Sleeve, you mean we're going to rob the safe, too? No, Bessie. I wish I had some competent help on this thing. Pardon me. What? Is this where I'll find the acting Police Commissioner? Yes, that's me. Throckmorton P. Gilder Sleeve. My name is Jolly. I have something to talk to you about. Oh, well, have a seat, Mr. Jolly. I'll be with you in just a minute. We've had a little upset here, and if you don't mind, I'd like to get some information from my secretary. Go right ahead, friend. I've got more time than money. Yeah. Now, Bessie, let's start at the beginning, huh? When you came back from lunch and found the safe had been robbed, did you notice any clues? Clues? I mean, well, did you see any strange fingerprints? How do you tell a strange one? Well... Well, the robber didn't leave any fingerprints, friend. What? If you're talking about the whistling bandit, he always wears gloves. I know. Oh? Come to think of it, Bessie, how do you know it was the whistling bandit? Who else could it be, Mr. Gilder Sleeve? When I came back from lunch, I heard somebody going down the alley whistling pennies from heaven. Oh, yes. And how does that tune go? Oh, I can't whistle, Mr. Gilder Sleeve. The whistling bandit sounds like this. Yeah. Wait a minute. How do you happen to know so much about the whistling bandit? Well, I've been one step behind that man for years. Oh? And that's what I came up here to talk to you about. I'm a part-time detective. You are? Here are my credentials, friend. I've got a lot of them. Well, nice bad. Thank you. I got that off the head of the detective bureau in Kansas City. Very pretty. He must have thought a lot of you. Well, he learned to respect me. See, how would you like to help me catch this whistling bandit? That's a big order, friend. Well, with all you know about him, it shouldn't be hard. And you whistle just like him. What's that, Miss? Bessie, you stay out of this. Yes, sir. How about it, Jolly? Will you take the job? Well, I'm pretty busy. There's been a lot of crime lately. Yeah, I know. That's why I need a good detective like you. Well... Please, Jolly, it means a lot to me. Well, it does to me, too. I'll take the job. Great. I'll get Chief Gates on the telephone and tell him I've hired a private detective. Oh, just a minute. Don't call the chief of police. Why not? Well, you'd like to get all the credit yourself, wouldn't you, Commissioner? See, that's not a bad idea.  I think so, friend. Hi, George. I'll show Chief Gates. And wait till the mayor comes back. My name will be all over the front page. I can just see the headlines. So can I. Now then, how do we go about capturing this corrupt?  He does? What's the biggest bank in town? Well, uh... First National. Then if I know the whistling bandit, that's where he'd like to be tonight. Oh, say, maybe you and I should sell a trap for him there. We can handle that if you can get us in the bank after dark. Well, that shouldn't be hard to arrange. I'm the police commissioner. You get us in, and I guarantee the bandit will be there. Be careful, Mr. Gildersleeve. The whistling bandit is a killer. You're not just whistling, Miss. Now, Bessie, don't try to frighten Mr. Jolly. He doesn't have a thing to worry about with me along. I sure don't, friend. Getting dark, Jolly. Might as well go on in the bank. I'm right behind you, friend. You have a gun, haven't you? Two of them. Good. How about you? Oh, I've got a gun all right. Mm-hmm. Glad to know that. I brought a tear gas bomb, too. The whistling bandit fools with me. He'll be the crying bandit. Well, let's get inside before somebody sees us. Oh, yeah, yeah. See, this door is hard to open. A lot of banks are hard to get into. Let me try. There you are. Hey, you're pretty good. After you, friend. Oh, no, after you. I don't want to be a pig. Now on, you're in charge. Well, guess I am. Pretty musty in here. Must have taken in a lot of old bills today. I hope so. What? Why don't you wait here, friend, while I case the joint? Case the joint? I mean, I'll go back and see where the vaults are. Vaults? Oh, I better go with you. Well, if you want to, that's where the shooting is likely to take place. It is?  After all, you're in charge. That's the kind of cooperation I like, friend. If you see anybody, don't fail to give me plenty of warning. Yeah, don't worry, I will. Nice fellow, that jolly. So friendly and so helpful. Well, may as well get behind this marble counter. No use taking foolish chances. Quiet in here. What was that? Kitty. Kitty, kitty. Kitty, what are you doing in the bank? Looking for a rat, too, eh? Oh, well, he didn't get it. Well, that's not getting nervous, kitty. May as well sit down behind this desk. Darn chair. Dark in here. Ooh. Wonder if I shouldn't have brought Chief Gates along. For some reason, I don't feel as safe as I did a moment ago. Wonder how long I'll have to wait. How did that tune go? Catchy. What's that? Oh, that was me, my echo. That wasn't me. Sounds like jolly. Jolly? Is that you? It's not J. Edgar Hoover, sucker. What do you mean by that? What are you doing with all that money?  Say, I know who you are. You are the whistling bandit. No, you was preaching for your gun. I already got it. What?  Back up against the wall, Gilda Sleeve. No, Jolly, I trusted you. That was your mistake. Back up against the wall, Fat Boy. Look who's talking. Back up. I warned you, Jolly. I still have a tear gas bomb and I'll use it.  I'm going to take care of you and scram out of here. Jolly, you won't get away with this.  I'm backing, but... Oh, darn cat. Gilda Sleeve, don't drop the tear gas. Oh, oh, oh! It slipped, Jolly. I'll get you, Gilda Sleeve. Where are you? I can't see. Can't breathe. I'm going to open the window. If he cuts on that man, he's dangerous. Yes, sir. He won't be hard to handle.  Is Gilda Sleeve coming around, Mr. Mayor? I think so. Well, give him air, folks. How do you feel now, Gilda Sleeve? Oh, all right, I guess. Mr. Mayor, I thought you were fishing. I fell out of the boat so we came back early. You did? Good. I mean, well... Gilda Sleeve, that was mighty clever of you to open the window and set off the burglar alarm. That took fast thinking. Well, I did it fast, all right. Where's the whistling bandit? He's handcuffed right there on the floor. He is? Oh, hello, sucker. I guess he can't wave back. Gilda Sleeve, the city is proud of you. How would you like to become permanent police commissioner? Oh, I'll think it over, Gilda Sleeve. Now we want to get a picture of you for the press. Would you mind demonstrating exactly how you routed the bandit? No, no. Be glad to, Mr. Mayor. Chief, hand me one of your tear gas bombs. Anything you want, Commissioner. Thank you, old boy. Stand back, folks. Well, I was standing right here, and the bandit was coming toward me with three guns. Two of his and one of mine. Three? Here I was armed only with a tear gas bomb. It was him or me, Mr. Mayor, but I couldn't let the city down. So I grabbed the tear gas bomb like this. Hoop, hoop, hoop, look out! We'll be back in just a moment. They say that in the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love.  For instance, wonderfully fresh tasting Philadelphia brand cream cheese made by Kraft. Now there's a food that's always exquisitely fresh. You see, famous Philadelphia brand cream cheese is made fresh every day in shining Kraft plants from coast to coast. Then it's hurried to food stores and ice cold trucks and cars. That's why this cream cheese is guaranteed fresh by Kraft. So perk up your menus with delicate, white, gloriously rich Philadelphia brand cream cheese for nutritious lunchtime sandwiches, for extra good desserts, for really fresh tasting salads. Just be sure you get genuine Philadelphia brand the cream cheese that's guaranteed fresh by Kraft. Folks, maybe I haven't had much experience as police commissioner, but for three hours I've been grilling the whistling bandit. And now he's ready to make a complete confession. And I thought you'd like to hear it. Go ahead, Jolly. Crime does not pay. Thank you, Mr. Jolly. Good night, folks. The Great Gilder Sleeve is played by Harold Perry.

This is John Wall saying good night for the Kraft Foods Company, makers of the famous line of Kraft quality food products. And be sure to listen next Wednesday and every Wednesday for the further adventures of the Great Gilder Sleeve. You bet. Did you ever take a slice of cold meatloaf and add a touch of Kraft's prepared mustard? Try it, because when you add a little mustard you add a lot of tang. Every bite has more zest. There are two kinds of Kraft mustard, light delicately spiced solid mustard for those who like their mustard mild, and Kraft mustard with snappy horseradish added. Be sure to get both kinds. Then you'll be ready for luncheon, supper or a midnight snack. Remember, just add a little mustard and you add a lot of tang. Kraft's prepared mustard.

There are some 663,000 post offices in the world, forming the largest physical network on the planet. This makes a powerful network for fighting exclusion and empowering citizens everywhere. At the World Postal Strategy Conference, the word on the lips of ministers, regulators and postal operators was inclusion, a common buzz in panel discussions and in corridor conversations. The capacity of the postal sector to foster inclusion in all its dimensions, social, economic and financial, has been underlined throughout our conference. This message is clear. If it is not us, then no one else can do it. I can tell you that. Today, posts offer financial products to more than one billion people. But there are still 2.7 billion people in the world who don't have access to basic financial services. The UPU has been working with various partners such as IFAD and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to change this in Africa and Asia, among other places. In Burundi, where the diaspora sends home an estimated US$48 million in remittances every year, the UPU and the International Organization for Migration have joined forces with the National Post in a groundbreaking initiative. The objective is to lower the cost of transferring money home. Right now it's running at 10-15% through the money houses and we believe through a postal service we can achieve something 5% or below and that would be enormous savings for the migrants. The pilot project, which the agencies hope to replicate elsewhere, could also improve access to financial services and help local producers export their goods more easily. It's an example of the post's unique capabilities to stimulate development. At the conference it was clear that governments were taking on board the post's unique role in fostering inclusion. The post is a tool of public power. We must use this tool of public power to solve some of the problems we have. Within the UN family, the postal sector's capacity to drive inclusion is recognised as an important contribution to the UN's post-2015 development planning. So it is quite clear that inclusion is going to be a big part of this new agenda. Financial inclusion, social and economic inclusion and I believe that the UPU will be in a good place as you think through being fit for purpose for this. How will you engage with the UN system that we become the facilitators of ensuring that this new agenda is an integral part of what countries, visions and plans will integrate. At the conference the Postal Service's ability to foster inclusion and sustainable economic development featured as key issues in shaping the postal sector's next global roadmap to be adopted in 2016.


I hope you're well, welcome back to my channel or if you're new here. My name is Cepi, it is very sunny here in London and today is such a big day for me. It is my medical school graduation ceremony, so for those of you guys who have been watching me for a long time, you might be wondering, I thought you were already a doctor, why are you graduating today? Well I am a doctor, I have been a doctor for two years but I graduated during the pandemic so I never got a ceremony and my university was kind enough to not cancel it all together and they are hosting the ceremony today. In true Persian timing, I was meant to be there 15 minutes ago so I'm going to get ready to leave now but before I do, I thought I'd quickly show you guys my outfit and then I'll show you the outfits of everyone else in my family. I think that we've really killed it with this one, there's some coordination between soul and sign and they look a bit like my bridesmaids. We're going to go to the ceremony and then we're going to go to lunch together to celebrate so I can't wait. I'm wearing this Pink Jack Moose dress, my pink off-white bag and some glittery heels to go with it, so this is my look altogether. I wasn't really sure about the colour because my gown has green in it but you know what, pink is so me that I was like screw it, I'm going to be true to me regardless of if the green doesn't match the aesthetic or what I was going for, worse comes to worse I'll take it off for the pictures of the green bit on the row. So that is my plan. Mum come show me what you're wearing. So look how cute my mum looks, she's in this little green dress over there. Very adorable. Ooh la la. I had two choices, so it's either this or a white dress. Very beautiful. Very hot. Thank you. Okay let's hit the road. No, it might just be one of the two of you. Cheers, love. This is not right for my later. That's awesome. It is so beautiful. When does it unmount? Because she can't record for her vlog today so I'm going to record for her the behind-the-scenes so this is the first time you're seeing this, oh my god I feel so emotional, I don't know because I'm so excited that she's graduating today even though she graduated two years ago. Hello. Hello, but I'm so excited, today is one of my best days, yes in my life and I'm so happy I was so, so happy, okay we're going to go in, let's hit keywords. I put in between this, it's actually from other people's vlogs so we're going to go out for lunch. Our pictures turn out quite nice. So we're in a black cap and we're all starving because you can tell everyone's pissed off. I'm not, I'm so thirsty because I had to make Donald's breakfast. Do you like McDonald's breakfast? I love a McDonald's breakfast. Thanks for getting everyone else McDonald's breakfast. It's because I knew you guys were gonna, oh no, no, no, no. Definitely I should say no, no, no, no, no. You left before so it's fine. That was why she was so late. No, I went to get flowers and then I couldn't find it anywhere. So guys, the lighting is better now. I feel like, Seppy, take this, I'm vlogging. It's for Seppy's vlog. So Seppy has now officially graduated. We are going for lunch. It's so interesting to see my vlog from someone else's side. I know this is Seppy's vlog from someone else's side. So you guys, so basically Seppy had booked a restaurant for us. It was called, it's called Seasons. It's actually really beautiful. And it's in such a good location. But it's dead. But there was no one there to a point where the guy who was so kind, the manager said, you know, there's no one here. If you want you can come back another day. Oh, thank you so much. So we'll just re-book that for another day. So now we're gonna go and find somewhere else to eat. You guys, you have to see my outfit, which Seppy will show. Are you gonna show my outfit? Ta-da! Are you not gonna show us the slit? No, you guys. So, no, I'm not gonna show you. So basically I have a slit at the back of my outfit. Like my dress. It was so funny. It basically rose up to her bum. I didn't realise. But at the end of like the graduation, where everyone is out standing outside. I don't think anyone saw. Honestly, I don't. There was no one there. And I noticed that, oh my God. Why do I feel a breeze in my back? In your back. In my bottom. And don't say the slit had literally reached my bum chain. Also, I put it down so quickly. I hope no one saw anything that slit second. That's right. That's right. Sina, who had a mackerel on the back first. He looks cute. You have to learn how to speak English. I don't know how to speak English. I don't know how to speak English.


Here we are guys episode five episode five guys I'm here today with Sean Pollard. Sean Pollard has been a coach with me for over a year now right guys we're shooting this I think in about May we're about at the end of April it's April 30th so we'll just say it's May 1 we're shooting this I'm with Sean Pollard the automotive monster.  Guys listen let me tell you a little bit about Sean but I'm gonna tell you what this is about okay so I want you to understand this it's about crushing and beating mediocrity mediocrity is one of the things that I see people fall into entitlement I see it every single day the market's hot right now it's hotter than it's ever been okay if you're not killing it right now you need to look in the mirror you got a problem you got a hole you've got something don't blame it on anything fix it train hard and kill it but I want to talk about something I'm here today with Sean and I want to talk about beating mediocrity beating me out mediocrity means crushing being average dude the word average makes me sick it does it makes me sick look there's hot and there's cold lukewarm makes me want to spit you out my mouth okay look make the choice be great or don't I know you guys want to be great that's why you're watching this you want to level up and you're wanting to crush and beat mediocrity now when I say this to you right now in May we'll say it's May 1 the market is up a hundred and sixty percent since last year now let's think about it did I say the sales are up a hundred and sixty percent yeah they're up but the market is up yeah so do you know what that means across the board if the market's up a hundred and sixty percent since last May let me ask you a question how'd you do last April if a guy sold 12 cars last April he was a 12 car hand that's what he sold how many did he sell this April let's say he sold 18 cars well the deal is is that your average yeah you sold 12 last April you're selling 18 now but the market's up a hundred and sixty percent let me ask you a question are you up a hundred and sixty one percent that's the question so what I want to do is I want to let you know that right now there's a lot of people that are hitting higher numbers who are average and what you got to look at what you do last year so what I want to know is are you up a hundred and sixty one percent how do you beat mediocrity how do you not get that winning mentality in you that makes you think hey man I made it you know what I mean a lot of people commonly ask and I'm gonna let Sean talk here in a second and Sean Pollard is the automotive monster and the reason why we call Sean that Sean is about mindset okay when I took Sean on in our coaching space here's the deal you know Sean was it was a GM you know he was running stores he was a top performer in the sales industry he loved changing people's lives but Sean when I took him on he flew out came to a master closer seminar said hey man I want to crush it kill it level up get better at my skill came in met all the whole team saw everything that was going on and said my god man how do I get involved with changing people's life like this now the first thing I said is I said hey well number one you got to change your life yeah okay just back of it yeah and guess what man we went through hell and back we did yeah yeah and guess what and now you're looking at him over here and guess what everything in his life has changed 360 look skill up a million percent okay marriage a million percent up father up a million percent he's got three kids man everything is up believability the way that he sees his life his perspective the way he thinks when he wakes up everything his health we talk about it all the time but crushing mediocrity is one of the biggest things ever right now you got to decide man you're either gonna make a choice right now to never be average in your life never okay and fight like hell until the day you die look your life is really simple okay if you put weeds in your brain your brain's gonna think like it's got weeds in it what do you feed in yourself what's your diet is your diet every single day you're waking up and you're in your in my mentors in life for people that have gone where I want to go the people that I look up to are people that break the barrier every single month every month they're like hey man I did this you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna come back down off the mountain they push their rock back down the mountain they don't let it sit up there and they go push it back up a bigger one and they do it every month and guess what it's the grind life yeah they got the lifestyle they want you don't ever hear him complain and do you ever hear a person complaining that constantly is chasing greatness no not at all no time for it yeah they don't have time and the perspective is totally different when they wake up they're not looking for easy they're looking for hard what they do is they're efficient they don't run around and be busy all day long a lot of people that are that are in them I'll say mediocre space the reason why they're I would say like having trouble finding out who they want to be in their head is because they're busy in their phone either your phone's a tool or you're the tool and what happens is they've become a tool to just junk and what happens is that because that space in your head has gotten taken over you don't even know who you are anymore yeah and I got told Sean the first thing we got to do is declutter so if you're listening to this right now I'm gonna hand it over to Sean Sean what has changed your life what are some things that you know went into place if somebody's out there right now salesman saleswoman maybe somebody that just clicked on the video or on the podcast and they're listening to it and they're like you know hey man you know what are these guys about what is beating mediocrity mean what does that mean to you well for me it was when I met you uh the operational system that you play on okay I couldn't believe that you were at a high level with your wife high level with your children you and I are the same age but you're worth millions and I'm worth a couple hundred thousands so that really resonated with me like how did you do it what was it like and then to get to know you at a personal level see I have this operating system I've been playing on and every time I went up to this higher level it's an upper limit I would hit and I'd sell sabotage and go back down to my normal operating system and I did that for you know 15 years running stores and I couldn't understand why I couldn't break past the barrier well there's no one around me that was doing anything at a higher level I had thought I'd hit this peak state I thought it was normal not to be you know home for dinner and you know this is a car automotive life you know instead of skilling up closing at a higher level being able to do more with the same amount of time because I'm running at a higher operating system and pushing myself to level up every day no I was surrounded by mediocrity and I didn't even know it but we were making to a quarter million three hundred thousand dollars a year we're thinking we're doing big level things well then I fly out to see you I find you November 19 I'll never forget it I paid for Grant Cardone Joe Verdi's platform I had all my guys training on it I've always been a huge component of training I see November 19 I'm like who is this man yeah this guy's got something going on but I need to know is he real is this real substance and that's what made me reach out I called you I wanted to know what you were all about well then the history is made I flew out and I realized wow this is this is different level you have it going on personally with your children with your wife the way you communicate with your wife the whole thing that I had you know been missing made sense and then about a week later you told something to me as you said Sean if you continue living this way you are gonna die and not play all your music and is that who God wanted you to be is that your creator your the universe whatever you believe is that what you want and I said no man so what do we do he goes you got a you said you got to change your normal operating system you have to scale and as you scale you have to keep scaling and never self-sabotage to go back to what you believe is your normal operating system when you told me that the journey began I started running I started reading psychology on how to break down the mind how to pill back the layers and I found it was something in my past I was holding on to and it kept me playing small because I was scared of success at a higher level and that really was I mean we can go I mean into this for the next three hours of the journey that I've been on with you over the last year with my mind but you really have to own it and you have to look in the mirror forgive yourself you're not broken and you told me it's okay to be angry but you need to control that anger and you need to unleash the monster and I just ran with it for the last year man I love it guys listen number one you all got the same 24 hours a day okay so if someone else got what you don't have you can get it you need to know that but you got to figure out how to get it you got to get around people that got it you know I'm saying right so we said that you know you got to be around people and by the way you guys can always reach out to us at any time I just want to say this if then it's cool to say this two things number one automotive monster Sean Pollard this guy's the real deal all the way around he trains hundreds of thousands of sales people under the Elliott Group platform with me in every single day sales pros men and women men and women and husbands and wives reach out all now yeah yeah they reach out and they say hey you know Sean I need help with this can you give them the number they can reach out to you can you do that real quick I want you guys to write this down my personal cell phone yeah yeah shoot Sean a text shoot him a text real quick and say hey Sean I want to talk to you for a minute about mindset mediocrity hey I want to talk about what you said when you said self sabotage yeah I'm sure we can all understand what the heck that means that's when things are going really well and they're almost going too good yeah and you think man something's gonna mess this up well you hit that normal it's a normal operating system we we play out a normal you and I we play out a normal operation operating system that's higher than other men and women can they get there yes I my normal operating systems are lower than yours because I'm chasing you right now and that's real to me I'm chasing you to beat you and that's my goal every day is to beat you level up take over your company I mean I'm just real I love it I have goals bigger than I mean normal people are like dude you're crazy it ain't gonna happen but that's what I live at now before when I met you I was 205 pounds out of shape couldn't run to the mailbox from back you remember how pathetic that was yeah I remember and you're like I make Sean throw up every day in the front yard it was it was it was ridiculous you know you what you wanted me to do I think you wanted me to quit not come back yeah I was dying for you know I think you were pushing so as we grow in scale a lot of men and women ask me like dude you're not lecturing no I want to teach you for my stupidity 20 years in the car business 23 years of marriage I kind of have a thing or two going on I messed up at a high level I brought it back a couple times I've been through massive amounts of adversity and pain and I've grown and become what I want to call bulletproof as I scale to a higher level see there's a lot of great men and women in this world live in shitty lives that's a choice that's a choice you gotta stop that's the damn truth did you hear that and by the way let me ask you this can every single person out there right now go get the life they want 100% without fail what you have to do hey give me your number real quick they can text you at<PHONE_NUMBER><PHONE_NUMBER> that's my new Arizona number yeah guys weren't Scottsdale Arizona we're here in our conference room we got the master closer seminar coming up next week not even going to talk about that we cover mindset in it hard but here's the idea is that as I'm here today with Sean Pollard one of my head coaches we got 20 guys that work for me at this point every single one of them every single one of them is more passionate than any person I've ever met in my life and that's our goal with you that's our goal with you is that look turn your pain into passion that's it if you can turn your pain into passion which means where you were it's not about who you are it's about who you're becoming what got you here won't get you there wherever you're at right now if you want to go to that next level you have got to decide that failure is not an option dude failure something that comes into your life it's something that comes into your life that teaches you lessons but there's a difference between learning and growing I'm just going to tell you man I know a lot of people that have learned from lessons but they didn't grow from lessons you know what I'm saying 100% yeah okay like hey did you learn your lesson yeah I learned my lesson no did you grow from your lesson that's the key word okay so what happens is that like Sean said going back self sabotage and it's a it's an operating machine how high you're operating yet by by the way how high is your threshold right to pain before you crack that's a big deal a lot of people ask me hey why do you train so hard you know we train physically very hard at 41 years old we're both 41 we train very hard we run five to seven miles a day we work out like heck we work 18 hours a day I mean hell look at him right here his he detached his bicep damn it I told him man only I can curl 80 pound dumbbells you know I'm saying I'm just kidding that we're pushing no but the deal is is that look um it's the idea that look we're 41 but we run like we got 16 years old of energy and I want to tell you this whoever you are we're coming from the market we are very disciplined in our approach and a lot of people they go through life and they want to be harmless you know there's there's no virtue in being harmless live dangerously am I right you have to and you have to when we say unlock the monster not to be monstrous right but to live with virtue because if you're a monster nothing will attack a monster but if you're living harmlessly the only thing living harmlessly are like little rabbits and they'll get eaten and you have to have a perspective in life that of what you want and a monster can protect that mentality to help you protect your family your career your vision your goal and you attack and you attack relentlessly and the hardest part that I'm with the coaching I do now with the men and women at a higher level the biggest thing is they care too much about what other people think that's holding them back what do we say about that holding them back well it was a heartbreak I had to cut out a lot of people they cut me out when I moved in moved to Oklahoma you know for this opportunity you know I'm trying to better my life but my closest of friends walked out I couldn't understand why you're like man this is part of it so as you grow and scale you know detach from what's not real and some people won't go along with that journey as you scale hey do you hear what he said he said detach from what's not real okay I think everybody needs to write that down if we had like a little button we could hit that'd be like that's a good one yeah that would be that would be at detach from what's not real and I want to tell you this one of the realest things in the world is what we've created a lot of people ask how does our training program grow so fast how are we training you know within a year and a half two years 160,000 salespeople and traveling 10,000 new people a week how's it even possible well it's very easy it's real it's real it's real that's it I mean look at the end of the day real results authentic being real you know we don't care about money we never cared about money we shot youtube videos for two years for free straight just to show people there was a better version of themself we didn't say hey I got a course come check it out if you want to become the best watch this if you don't have a nice life no we said hey watch these videos see if there's a better version of yourself that you see can you unlock the person inside of you do you want to go to the next level if you do we've helped you make money off free training so that you can literally go to the next level and get into the elite training that's the idea of it i'm going to tell you this being average makes me sick being yeah it's bad listen it's not good and by the way i want to talk about that threshold we were talking about with pain why do you go and get yourself around people that push you well i mean imagine this if you're in the nfl could you imagine the coaches that are training you in practice to play that big game they don't care about your feelings you know they do not care they have one goal to win the game that's it they want to win the game that's the only thing that they care about they want to win the game so how do they push their players well they push them like hell they push them with everything they got pushed to break that's it yeah pushed to break and guess what those big guys those massive players that have always been the most talented people in the world the hardest workers they break on that field but guess what when they get in the game they play the game effortlessly you know what i mean and what's the number one thing that they're talking about with the nfl players pro athletes their confidence in their mindset is the number one thing they pay for they get these big contracts they pay for their body and they pay millions of dollars in coaching for their mind that's it but we have automotive sales professionals making 100 to 400 thousand dollars a year that are training with us now that never thought that investing in themselves as they are the investment or protecting their mind to get better and recreate who they are every day because they just thought they just go along with the journey see a lot of us get into the automotive industry make 80 grand and settle because you've never made that money before why aren't you investing every everyone that i know in real estate my attorney buddies they all pay for training to become better why isn't it a standard in the automotive industry do you not think of yourself as a ceo of a fortune 500 company what where's your mind at why do you get to 120 and stop because everybody's at 120 i think you say it best you're surrounded by men and women that are benching 150 pounds but you're built to build a bench 300 and you're not why because you stopped your normal operating system and you don't know how to push past it anymore and then when you have success you're not out of void so you go back down to the normal operating system where everybody's playing on because that's comfort because once you start hitting the upper limit people start shooting arrows at you and you come back down and that's a shame i want to eliminate that out of the industry and that's why i call it the movement and people laugh and they're not laughing now yeah that is the movement and i want to tell you this and i mean this when i say this look when you come off the bench and you decide to start playing the game or if you're playing the game right now and you're maybe number one in your store how about being number one in your state how about being number one in the country right yeah you know i'm saying that dude when i was making 250 grand i remember in my state i was probably one of the top five earners okay once i hit 350 i was the top one earner and then i said well it looks like i'm not competing with my state anymore and i said let's go compete with the world and at that time i realized that look what got me here wouldn't get me there and i had to really go in and train my mind my mind keep wanted to throw me these titles right like entitlement like man you're doing great you're doing better than everybody else you're doing this and by the way also there was something inside me in the back of my head they kept saying like you said self sabotage like dude you don't deserve this you know what i'm saying i grew up poor yeah yeah and i mean it and and i want to i want to tell you this generational influence is more important than anything else to me and him than anything else in this world and it means a legacy it means being a legend it means changing the family tree from the way things have been and to me if i was to die today i don't care how much money you have in the bank did you give all you got if you're gonna die today and you were sitting at your car and there was a car wreck and you know you knew you had 30 seconds to live before you were going to heaven you say man do you do that on music yeah did i give everything i have did i leave it all on the field there's a pretty good damn chance that 99.9 percent of the people would have regrets yeah that is scary so i wanted to call this crushing mediocrity it's not about cell skill it's about mind skill mind skill is one of the strongest skills in the world and it's not talked about enough and i'm going to tell you this right now you don't have to harden up your life okay and literally cut people out and not be loving i'm one of them that'll happen on the sun as your scale yeah just being real yeah and i want to say this we're one of the most loving people in the world if you've ever come to a master closer seminar and you've met me one of the things you'll see what do we do right out the gate we hug hug we hug dude seriously man we're not afraid of the coronavirus man we eat it for breakfast okay we literally give yeah we give people hugs constant you gotta understand we wait to meet you you know you you're best in yourself you're coming to a seminar here in the lion's den and we wait to meet you we can't wait to meet you you're you know you're waiting to meet andy we're waiting to meet you yeah when you come in the door or tribe yeah when you come in the door you're like uh where's andy bam andy's got you right there i'm like what up big dog hey and by the way that right there it just shows we're just normal people who do extraordinary things what i was born to do yeah and uh it's about how to be uncommon amongst uncommon people that's really the magic deal well how do you do it well number one you have to crush mediocrity you have to if you can't do that you're not going to make it um mediocrity is huge being normal say the word average okay where you at since last year that's a huge deal where are you at since last year if you just got in the business you've been in the business 30 years and hey let me just say this if you're burned out if you're burned out i want you to send this man a text message okay this is one of the biggest deals one of the things that i've seen him do which is just insane is help people pull out a burnout like that he does it every single day it's insane i'll give him the three steps real quick do you mind yeah okay so first the first thing the most important thing is to have the strategy but it's not the most important thing and you taught me this because your strategy when you take over stores when they pay you to come aboard you take over their stores for four or five days and immediately they flip you know the strategy right you go in you know the strategy service part-cell service csi wherever that type who's your player you go take all those players you put them in a room your strategy begins then you work on their story and then you work on their state so strategy story state those three what are you telling yourself what's your strategy and what state are you in when you're doing it and when i learned that from you it was game over it was about a year and what you're about a year ago we really worked on that with me yeah and i take this shit very serious you know this is this is my life your your your success is fuel for me so change your strategy because your strategy is off if you're burnt out okay then the story you tell yourself it better be a good one because that's going to become your reality and your state you have to own this and be in a very powerful state every day if you have to lie to yourself lie to yourself and tell yourself a better story and change your state when you master those three we can go in i mean you text me right now it's deeper than that but those three will get you started in the right direction yeah and by the way look anybody who's watching this right now if for one second okay you're trying to understand what this has to do with cells it's very simple cells is a mind game i'm going to tell you this the mind right it's learned you it's time to learn your mind it's time to tell your mind to shut up have a seat in the back right and guess what you take back over your life and that's how you beat mediocrity okay and anyways with that being said i want to do this one more time somebody watching this i'm going to put his number up on the screen sean give me your number one more time four eight oh this is my new arizona number directly to me yeah it means a lot for me for you to be able to shoot him a text and for him to be able to help you and that's all i care about is that at the end of the day you know who you're supposed to be if you're not playing at that level what's real simple reach out we'll get you there well that's it i mean you have voices in your head right now you need to be paying attention to that are screaming at you those voices are telling you what you need to be doing and start paying attention to it and do the work you're gonna suffer okay but impose suffering suffering that you do to yourself stop it life is going to be suffering we all know that we're gonna suffer we're gonna lose we're gonna have lost of loved ones that's suffering you can you can deal with but when you're imposing when you're implementing when you're putting suffering on yourself by bad decisions addictions drugs alcohol everything we've seen are our people go through stop great people live in a shitty

it's powerful yeah i always tell and you know and he said this a couple times are you prepared you know for to lose somebody the reason why he says that is that could be that's the ultimate loss in life mm-hmm and the deal is is that look as we all love our families and love people around us it's just nobody gets to live forever so what he's saying is that look i see a lot of people when something happens they just fall apart and they lose everything and if you're the man in your house or you're the woman in your house it's your job to hold yourself together for your family yes they
