Are we live? All right. Good morning, everyone. My name is Doug Mutart. I'm the chief architect for the Big Data Infrastructure and Engineering Organization at General Motors. You probably figured this out by now, but GM is headquartered right here in Detroit, Michigan at the Rensen, just a block over. I work with 155,000 other people that have the same passion that I do for design, engineering, technology. And we have this shared vision of zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. My contribution to that is really working on our connected electric and autonomous vehicle programs to really give them the enabling technology to see this vision come to life. It's actually, there's some significance of having the conference here today. I was sitting in this building 22 years ago, almost to the day when Scott McNeely said something that really would set the stage for a lot of what I'm going to talk about today. Back in those days, we talked a lot about genie technology, Corba, Java Spaces. Today, we're going to talk about actor systems and reactive streams. The thing that still amazes me is that we're still talking about Java on wheels, I mean, essentially. So I just thought that it was a really interesting tidbit that at Convergence 2000, we were having this discussion about Java on wheels. Everywhere I work at GM now, I'm finding applications for reactive systems that are responsive, resilient, elastic, message-driven. Every team I talk to is using event-driven architectures. We're using high-speed vehicle telemetry to build customer, dealer, partner experiences. We're using industrial IoT in the assembly and manufacturing plants to do device-level analytics. Look at how do we prevent machinery from breaking down. We're building digital twins to configure, command, control the vehicles themselves. They've got tons of different electronics in there that we can manage through a digital twin. We're building fast data pipelines for that vehicle to be able to interact with its environment, something like the smart grid. And we're even using it to really entertain motorsports enthusiasts, really build that brand loyalty around our products. And we do that in motorsports as well. So just to give you a little bit of my definition of what an actor is. An actor, to me, it's this fundamental primitive of concurrent computing. Actors receive messages. They react to those messages. They may update their internal state. They might log those messages to some sort of event store. They'll probably spawn other actors. They might send additional messages downstream to other actors. With that sort of primitive in mind, you can see where the actor's purpose is to process messages. And so if you're building an event-driven architecture that needs to be low-latency, fault-tolerant, and done at scale, an actor system is a really good starting point for what you're building. They're also, working with actors is great for developers as well. I know when I used to do development, I didn't want to have to worry about all the air logic, thread safety, half the errors I got when I went to compile my code was around not casting things to the right type. So those are all their huge advantages of working with the actor model. And as an architect, when you're working across business domains, an actor system provides a really great bounded context that you can use to reason about with other people, talk to other people. And so it's this natural way to talk about what could be very complex systems. An automobile is really just a huge complex mechatronic system. We've got actuators, sensors. We've got MCUs, microcontroller units all over the vehicle. They're all passing signals to one another over different communication buses. We have a low-speed bus, a high-speed bus. And it's really helpful if you start modeling the software systems you're building around that domain. It becomes this natural way to create a digital twin of the thing that you have in the real world. It makes for a very intuitive API. If you want to do a door unlock, talk to the door actor. If you want to start the ignition, talk to the propulsion actor. So we've got this kind of natural fit of an actor model to the thing we're building, this mechatronic system in the real world. It's also super handy to have this as a digital twin in the back office that really provides that shadow state of what might be running in the embedded system. So you can have a copy, and if you get really ambitious, you can have a copy of the same code that you're running on the vehicle, running in the back office. And that enables all kinds of opportunities to do emulation, simulation. You can practice doing a firmware update. Colin mentioned some of those use cases you see. So it's really just, to me, the biggest advantage of working with the actor model in automotive is this notion of a domain-driven design that everyone can latch onto, engineers, software developers, business folks. Jonas actually mentioned it, too. You're climbing that abstraction ladder, right? The better your abstraction of your problem domain, the easier it is to work with these problems. So this notion, though, of an actor that manages the behavior and state for itself is really powerful. I don't know if any of you are familiar. If you work with the Aka Toolkit, there's a sample application that everybody looks at called the Dining Hackers application. And it's really just an example of a finite state machine built with actors that kind of message one another and change their state. And so if you start looking at something a little bit more complex, like a mechatronic system, like a vehicle, you can build a state model as well. And it can be arbitrarily complex. What happens when your charging is interrupted for your EV? What happens when you've got super crews going, you're level-to-autonomous going down the highway, and somehow that disengages? So you can build these state machines, basically, that handle all these different events. And you really start to build, you're starting to define almost the day in the life of a drive or a driver, if you want to think of it that way. But what happens really when, instead of just one drive, you start thinking about a trip? Instead of just one trip, maybe a journey. Instead of one journey, tens, hundreds, thousands of journeys, you really start to build this day in the life of a driver that you start to understand that's way more important than just the software that you wrote. Now what happens if you start infusing that state model that you've built with intelligence from other sources? It turns out there's some prior art on this. The military intelligence analysis community had this notion of something called activity-based intelligence. And so what they're looking at is these diverse data sources, data streams, if you want to think of them that way, coming in. And they're trying to look for patterns, or more importantly, they're trying to look for changes to patterns. And they use that to really create decision advantage for their war fighters. And we said, well, hey, wonder if we did the same thing to create value for our customers. So we started to look at all of these data streams coming in as a way to look at patterns of life. You've got geo-intelligence. We've got the latitude, longitude, speed, direction of the vehicles. We can draw polygons to paint various geofences around points of interest. We've got human intelligence. We know driver preferences. We know passenger preferences, their settings. We've got human intelligence. I just mentioned that. Signal intelligence measurement stuff. We know weather, road conditions. Our LiDAR can even pick up, is there a pothole in this section of the roadway? We use open source intelligence. You can do social media mining. You can look at government data sets. Or we've got our own fleet of vehicles doing millions of drives every day. We can use that data that we capture. And then we've got the signal intelligence, the actual vehicle telemetry coming in from the hundreds of sensors that we have on the car. And all these sources really can be, you can use reactive streams to kind of broadcast them, aggregate and filter these events coming in. You can train AI models. You can survey AI models to make predictions and inferences about this data. And then you kind of merge the streams back together for action. So this is sort of that notion of using an actor as sort of an autonomous agent who's looking at these patterns, making decisions, and then taking action. So it's very powerful when you start to think about using an actor system in this context to enable activity-based intelligence. So one of the things that I think I've heard a couple times at the conference today already is what's the developer experience like when you're building these kinds of systems, right? So it's really important. I mean, you have to pick, you've got that whole menu of choices to make, right? We use the AkaToolkit quite extensively. But there's so many different features and capabilities. We've taken a product management approach where we start to build what we call a product out of that toolkit that we can then deliver to our data science community, our developer community. Some folks want an SDK. So we'll take specific features, capabilities, and we'll give them an SDK that makes it consistent, conformant to what we want. And they can use that SDK to build these actor systems and streams. But some folks, maybe an engineer that's doing some analysis of one of our electrical control units, he just wants the data, right? He's like, hey, just give me the raw protobuf coming off the vehicle bus, rapid in a cloud event so I know what the metadata looks like. So for them, we just give them a simplified API. And we've gotten pretty creative with the tools that are already available, right? We can use something like similar to Spring Initializer where we can just basically generate an actor system that they can use. They can use configuration files to say, hey, I want this Kafka topic, this Pulsar topic to be streamed to this Azure Event Hubs topic. And I want to transform it from Avro to JSON. And if we don't have that, maybe they can build their own plugin that does that transformation, right? So that's this notion of really just tailoring the whole developer experience around the preferred programming paradigm of the people that are using these systems. Then you've got your runtime model, right? So we've talked a little bit about this in other talks today. We use the Akatool kit, which runs on the JVM. That's very versatile. We're able to apply that on embedded systems. We can do it with virtualized systems. Works really well in containerized environments. We often run it in Kubernetes. These all actually really help because they provide these additional layers of elasticity and resiliency that you want in a system like this. I would say one of our challenges and one of the shortcomings right now is there hasn't been enough work done on running JVMs in safety-critical environments, Colin mentioned, safety-critical systems a little bit, microcontainers, micro-VMs like Firecracker and Cata. There's just not enough work going on really on what the next generation of this runtime model really needs to look like. But once you've got a runtime model to work with, and this works perfectly well, you've got to figure out, well, how are you deploying this? And so we're seeing already just a wide array of different places that we can deploy these actor systems and these reactive streams. We run it in our own private cloud that we've built, usually on Kubernetes, sometimes in virtual machines. We run it in Azure Cloud. For some of our use cases, I'm going to talk a little bit more about motorsports and NASCAR. You may want to run it on hyper-converged infrastructure. You might want to run it in the pit box at Trackside. You might want to run it on sort of AT&T's compute in a 5G network node. So you've really got this whole sort of different spectrum of deployment models to work with. Some of the things, though, that are solvable really are, you've got to really start understanding like geo-location-based routing and DNS. What you build needs to work really well with the service discovery models that are in place. You need to be able to locate sort of the actor system that you're trying to talk to. And I would say one of the challenges, Stell, is this control plane. And Colin talked about that a little bit, too. Maybe WebAssembly is part of the answer, right? But you want to have the same pipeline, basically, that's able to deploy these actor systems into these different deployment models. And then when you get into these different deployment models, things become distributed very quickly. You've got things running embedded. You've got things running on the edge. You've got actor systems and streams running in the cloud. You really need to start working out, hey, where can I back pressure? Where can I not back pressure? Where can I buffer? If you're doing 10 million messages per second, you're not going to be able to buffer for very long. So every hop, sort of as you go through these different network topologies, some of the hops are fast, very low latency, sub milliseconds even, in some cases. And some are very slow. Maybe going from cloud to data center is 25 millisecond latency, right? So you've really got to start working this out for yourself and figure out, OK, where can I buffer? Where can I back pressure? And where can I put brokers, right? So there was a presentation earlier today on NATS. That was certainly something you could consider. We use Pulsar and Kafka for the brokers between, say, data center and cloud. You might use Azure Event Hubs if you're running in Azure Cloud. But you really do need to figure out, OK, what's the role of a broker? And in some cases, we've been forced to kind of go broker less, right? As the message volumes increase, you start to see a lot of IO problems even with brokers like Pulsar. And so you need to start thinking about, hey, maybe we switched to a protocol like GRPC and we go broker less. So once you start to distribute your actor systems like this and distribute your streams, it's a whole different ballgame. So speaking of ballgames, so having done a lot of this in the connected vehicle space, the electric vehicle space, got a phone call probably a little over a year ago saying, hey, Muteart, can you and the team come down to Charlotte, North Carolina, and do moneyball for motorsports, right? And motorsports is a big money business. A NASCAR Cup Series sponsor might pay tens of millions of dollars to have their logo to sponsor a car for a 38 race season. Companies like GM, it's really important because it builds brand loyalty, right? If we win the NASCAR Cup Series, if it's a Chevrolet that wins, that means a lot to our enthusiasts. So we were asked to kind of go and say, hey, how can we apply this notion of actor systems, reactive streams, activity-based intelligence to help our Chevy racing teams become more competitive? And it really requires that millisecond mindset, right? I mean, we're talking a processing stage of one of these streams might be tens of microseconds, right? And so we found that this is super helpful because we have, again, we've got such a diversity of different kinds of data coming in. We've got people all around the track taking photographs. We've got spotters. We've got live video of every pit stop. All that needs to be processed in real time, right? We need to do text analytics on all of the different radio communications between the driver and the pit crew and the spotters and what the NASCAR race officials are talking about on the radio. The race strategy, we have to use AI to really augment the decisions made by the driver and the crew chief in real time, right? We have to make decisions like, do we pit or do we not pit now? Do we take two tires? Do we take four tires? Do we top off our fuel? Do we make any adjustments to the chassis? And we're looking at when a car gets hit, what's the size of the damage on the quarter panel? And we have to use photogrammetry to do that. So we found that using reactive streams, we could actually just process an immense amount of this data in real time, serve up AI models, make decisions, and really just generate that competitive advantage. And you can understand some of the challenges here. You've got 40 cars racing around a track at almost 200 miles an hour. You're trying to do a haversine distance calculation between all 40 cars to see how close they are to one another. You're trying to make decisions in real time based on the traffic density, how much dirty air is there. Because drag and all that really matters. I mean, just an example would be a 1% reduction in drag, like at a track like Daytona, could be 10 positions at the end of the race for you. So it's really a really cool place to start to apply some of this reactive stream, reactive system architecture to a very interesting problem domain. And obviously, the digital twin also comes into play. You've only got 40 cars. So you can pretty much have a ghost car, a digital twin of every vehicle running for the entire race. And you can go back three years and replay these races as many times as you want to do training and simulation. So it's a really powerful application of this. So Jonas had a quote very similar to this earlier in the opening keynote. This one kind of is a little older than that. But boss Kettering was really the wizard of General Motors. He's the one that invented the electric starter and 175 other different things in the automotive business. But again, the concept was, and this is really what I'm getting at with today's talk, we really need to start rethinking about the primitives that we're using to construct these systems. And what I mean by that is, first we have to kind of figure out what's this pattern that's reoccurring over and over and over again. And every example that I've given today really is, hey, you're processing an unbounded stream of events. It's nice to have functional operators, merge, broadcast, concatenate. They have to interact with this actor system, this digital twin that you've built that really encapsulates all the behavior of the system. You may want to write all those events out to a log, a journal of some sort, so that you can replay them later, so that you can recover from failures faster. And then you typically put the results of those decisions out in some sort of messaging system. It could be a grid or service mesh of some sort. It might be a message broker like Pulsar or Kafka. But this is sort of the pattern that kind of comes up over and over again. And it's very easy to insert AI and machine learning into this sort of virtuous cycle. I purposely do the arrow that way to make it look a little bit like a smile. Because every time I see a new problem, I immediately kind of think about this pattern and how we can apply it. But the real shift in thinking is to stop thinking about all these different web service frameworks and different logging frameworks and figuring out service registries and containers and container orchestration. At this point, data is an afterthought. It becomes an accident of the architecture. The last thing on the list is sort of your data. And what we found is we're really starting to take this data-centric view of the world, where everything's an actor, an event, a stream, a function. We may or may not log those events somewhere to an event store. But those really become the primitives that you start working with. And that's been a real game changer for us. But where it goes from here, we've seen a little server less definitely. You get that with the cloud.  But that's kind of evolved into this notion of database lists, where you may have an event store where you're putting stuff, but you as a programmer don't worry about it. You let the infrastructure take care of that. We're starting to think really heavily about how do we go broker-less. A broker is a bottleneck at the end of the day. It's going to be I.O. that might become a bottleneck. But where we really want to get to is data scientists, developers, they're scarce resources. If you can build a developer experience and maybe even get beyond the developer experience to a point where it's developer-less is what I called it here, then you're really talking something different. And I guess the way I see that, if I was a futurist, is that you've got these actors who are coming up with their own new behaviors on the fly. They're always learning. They're always adapting. It's almost like a neural network of actors. And this is really letting machines do the work. And that's really where ultimately we have to go. A lot of the systems I showed you, it takes teams of architects and developers and testers to get those systems right. I'd really like to get to a point where these primitives, these compute primitives that we have, are able to do that for themselves and just take advantage of the infrastructure that we give them. So that's really basically the big takeaway for me is switching your mindset, pivot from this code-centric view to the world to this data-centric set of primitives. And hopefully we'll get to that point where it's just kind of doing its own thing. Thanks. Yeah, I kind of like that. And there's some, like I said, there is some prior art on some of that, right? Like Netflix has tried to integrate AI into reactive streams. There's libraries out there like Deep Java library that lets you take TensorFlow models or really anything from a Model Zoo, have a plug-in sort of AI. And it's not a big leap to just say, OK, I've got an actor that serves a model and I think the harder thing, and I've been actually talking to some of our R&D people about is, how do you do the learning that way too, right? Because if it can be self-taught and you can serve the model, that's even better, right? But the actor model is a great fit for AI really, awesome. But it's been great to see, though, all the speakers today kind of hitting some of the same points, right? Maybe from different angles. But I think we're all seeing sort of the same trends starting to emerge and some of the same challenges that need to still need to be overcome.


Well, Bernie Sanders has dropped out and you know what that means. Bernie Sanders supporters are now free agents Now I've told you what Joe Biden's pitch is to Bernie Sanders supporters. It fell flat to say the least but Everyone else is also trying to take a shot at winning us over including the orange chud chief himself Donald J. Trump because he made an attempt to woo Bernie Sanders supporters by Pandering to us. He tweeted Bernie Sanders is out. Thank you to Elizabeth Warren If not for her Bernie would have won almost every state on Super Tuesday This ended just like the Democrats and the DNC wanted same as the crooked Hillary fiasco The Bernie people should come to the Republican Party trade First of all, I don't believe that Elizabeth Warren is the sole reason Why Bernie Sanders lost Elizabeth Warren certainly was selfish and she didn't help she tried to attack Bernie But I don't think that she's the sole reason But regardless like to think about how delusional Donald Trump is and what he's asking Bernie Sanders supporters to do He's asking them to make the jump from Democratic Socialism All the way to far-right fascism No Like Choosing to leave the Democratic Party That's a rational move to a demoralized left that makes sense You know, I'm in a closed primary state So I have to remain registered until after the primaries, but I will promptly change my registration back to independent but switching from Democrat to Republican is Trading down like that's the definition of stupidity I know that this is kind of a trope at this point, but it's like saying well You know the stores out of bottled water, so I'm gonna purchase bleach and drink that instead It's fucking stupid and the fact that he thinks he even has a shot is it's just it's mental It is absolutely delusional and I love how some of the chud followers members of the Magical Are also trying to make their pitch you see Brandon Shraka who is I guess formerly a Democrat tweet out hey Bernie supporters ready to hashtag walk away Yes, because that definitely not astroturfed movement that you started is going to convince us to walk away from a really shitty Corporate captured party to a shittier corporate captured party like The progressive left is irritated that the Democratic Party is Constantly belittling us and pissing on us, but you're asking us to move to a party That isn't just wanting to piss on us. They're shitting and vomiting on us into our mouths So the trade-off would be absolutely horrible But I just I had to talk about this because I find it absolutely humorous You know Donald Trump he is correct to point out the corruption of the DNC and the establishment But what else is true the RNC is just as corrupt as the DNC They tried to rig it against him, but he had a lot of name recognition and won and in the event He didn't you know win a majority I think that there would have been an attempt by the Republican establishment to steal it away from him and you know Republican leadership hasn't improved under him. He hasn't drained the swamp. He's a corporate stooge He's a corporate stooge. How many Goldman Sachs officials are in Donald Trump's administration and he promised to drain the swamp How much money did the RNC give to purchase Trump juniors book triggered? Because they wanted it to be a best-seller How much has Donald Trump?  I'd have way more supporters at patreon if that was my podcast sad


Making the narcissist obsessed with you after the narcissist was with you for some time They soon began to point out your faults and mistakes They began to pick on your flaws and imperfections They began to treat you as though you were not good enough for them as though you couldn't do anything right This is the devaluation phase This is when they begin to devalue you and degrade you Publicly humiliate and exploit you They begin to treat you as though you are worthless or beneath their consideration While they are doing this They are also lining up another source of supply They are grooming them Preparing or training them for the purpose or activity Or providing them with supply They are going to keep you around Until the new source is fully prepared or trained Until they feel certain that the new source is secured and is suitable for the purpose or activity that they have assigned to them until then They will keep you around as a source of stability and security They will use you as a negative source of supply Someone who they can abuse and manipulate Someone who will make them feel as though they are something significant or powerful Someone who will make them feel as though they are in control Someone who will make them feel as though they exist Narcissists feel very insignificant and powerless They feel insecure And because the false self that they have created isn't real They constantly need people to validate and prop up their false self They need to keep you around for abuse and immidibulation For the purpose of making them feel significant or powerful Making them feel as though they are in control or as though they exist But this is just a compensate for how they really feel underneath the mask of their false self Once the new source is fully prepared or trained The narcissist will want to advance them to be in their primary source of supply Which means that they are going to be ready to discard you The narcissist will then enjoy whatever is left of the love-bombing phase with a new source But soon enough their enjoyment is going to come to an end The cycle always repeats itself Soon enough The narcissist will begin to point out false and mistakes, flaws and imperfections Once again the narcissist will feel as though the new source isn't good enough for them Or they couldn't do anything right Just like everyone else they will begin to doubt their decision They will begin to feel as though they shouldn't have made them their primary source of supply They will re-idealize you And begin to see you as the most suitable or ideal source This is when they will try to return to you They will try to love-bomb you again If you take them back You might have a few days of fake love and affection Before they begin to devalue you again But if you reject their hoover attempts This is where their obsession begins This is where the idea or thought of you Continually preoccupies and intrudes on their mind They will stalk you Especially on social media And this is where you get the opportunity to show them Just how much your life has improved since you have moved on from them This is where you get to show them Who was really the issue or problem in that relationship You may feel tempted to respond to their hoover attempts You may feel that it is the only way to take back your power But it is not The power is within you It always was They tricked you into believing that they had power over you By tarting your self-worth and your self-esteem They had to make you believe that you were beneath them Because secretly They always believed that you were greater than them Their feelings of inadequacy then triggered them into taking actions Of trying to bring you down to their level Trying to level the playing field Making things even But even that wasn't enough for them Because they already felt that you were greater than them That's what triggered them to devalue you It was either you or them And there is no way that they were going to reflect on themselves So they had to project their insecurities onto you They had to devalue you To validate and probe up their false self Don't feel any need to respond to their hoover attempts The power is within you It always was And you do not need them to make you feel any better They can only give you the illusion of making you feel good By reflecting back who you are and what you're about You can feel that way already Just by going within yourself You do not need them They have to trick you into believing that you need them Just so they can use you for their own selfish needs As you maintain no contact with the narcissist They begin to regret their actions They begin to regret discarding you They begin to regret leaving you for the new source They feel sad or disappointed Over what they have done And the undesirable situation that they are now in But they don't feel sad or disappointed for you It's still all about them They are not sorry for you They just dislike the undesirable situation that they now find themselves in They feel embarrassed Ashamed Miserable Intensely annoyed or bored With the new source This is what they are dealing with While you are going no contact with them They are obsessive over you They are constantly thinking about you The thought or idea of you Is preoccupying or filling their mind continually And to a troubling extent Thank you for watching I hope this video resonated with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe Click the bell icon to receive notifications for my future videos If you would

Welcome once again to the breakfast here on Plus TV Africa. Now let's share a little bit with you what happened on this day in history in 2008. It's pretty popular for big nations across the world to always try to be the first to either go to space or send a spaceship or break some astronomical feet with the glad space. But on this day China eventually got a man walking on space in 2008. His name was Zai Zhigang and became the first Chinese to walk in space. It was part of what was called the Zhenzhu 7 crew on this day. It also was one of the technological feet that Beijing wanted to ensure that they pulled off or they carried out for the rest of the world to see. He entered the spacecraft safely after a walk of about 15 minutes, marking the high point of China's third manned space flight, which had received a blanket media coverage. The risky space walk was a step towards China's long-term goal of assembling a space lab and then a larger space station. Of course, the Communist Party in China back then also massively celebrated this feat. Its first manned space flight was in 2003, followed by a two-man flight in 2005. And then on this day, Zai Zhigang, as it's pronounced, eventually was the first Chinese to walk on space. Always very fascinating because I really don't even understand what this means. Where do you land? Where exactly in space are you? What planet exactly? And it would just always be fascinating to imagine what this whole experience will be like. Because I remember also when we had those conversations about Elon Musk and Richard Branson taking the first flights into space by regular passengers, non-astronauts. There was also people who had mentioned that it's not necessarily going into space space, it's really just going to get to a particular place and then turn back. But for these Chinese and of course for the Americans who eventually who were the first people to walk in space, what exactly are you walking on? Is it gravel? Is it red sand? Is it snow? I'm trying to figure it out. Are the roads over there tired? How many Mondays? Is it like the beanie red sand? I don't know. Yeah, I can imagine it might not be walking as we imagined it because yes, they said they wore a 4.4 million dollar suit, which was really, really heavy. I'm not a space expert, but trust me, there's no sand or gravel or red sand. Yeah, so what exactly is it then? Beanie sand. Well, you could do more research about it. But we know that so many countries, the world powers, the China, the Russia, the US, have all scrambled to get a piece of space to be the first country. So why did they bring a little bit back? To be on space. And see, let's bring this back home. We have our Nigerian space agency. Why are we not doing anything to get our own Nigerian to be in space? Maybe they could send us out here to be the first Nigerian planting the Nigerian flag on space. Many people have been walking in space for a long time. That's funny. That's funny. It just is undocumented. Our people have been walking in space for a long time. Yes. So there's no need wasted money with what Nigeria Space Agency does. But there's a lot with what space exploration can do. People are looking for alternative places to inhabit. They say the earth is overpopulated. There's talks about space tourism and all of that. There's really lots of discussions about the science regarding space explorations. And yeah, more research really would teach us all more. Because definitely to the ordinary man, they say, oh, a man walks in space. What really is the import? But for world powers, it really is a thing of basically to show that you have the capability. Because you know what it takes to build a spacecraft, to build a space. That's really what this is. I mean, over four million dollars to build the suit, just to go into space. So it really just, in my opinion, one of the ways for world powers to show that they really have the might, the funds to do what they can and what they want. It feels like it's a competition between world powers. The US, China, and mostly in Russia. They've always had that competition somehow, somewhere. So I think that's also what this is about. I don't think that in our lifetime, we would ever be at a place where people can now move to space and live there. I don't think humans will ever be able to achieve that in our lifetime. Maybe in another lifetime, they will be able to pull that up. But for now, I don't think that that would be possible. It's still very, very, there's still so much research that needs to be done.  But we know that back in 2016, there was news about Nigeria planning to send a man to space by 2030. No, yeah, they said we had opened our own space, that sends space satellites. And according to them, we use the satellites to track insurgents and that by 2030, Nigeria would send a man. Nigeria would carry out its planned space mission. No, really, for real. Even though it seems ridiculous. I mean, this is something that the government has definitely said. So Nigeria's minister of science and technology, Dr. Unaia Anu, we have him on tape saying this will happen by 2030.  A 12.5 kg of gas is 8,000 Naira now. A policeman was killed in Lagos not long ago. I think we have too many, too many problems. Did you think about, you know, wasted... Nothing stops us from dreaming big. Nigeria, eh, didn't even work. Nothing should stop us from dreaming big. If Nigeria says space exploration 2030, let's back that up. Once again, we've been doing it from my part of the country. And from sticks. Yeah, exactly. We've been wasting money. Stay with us when we come back. David Houndain will be joining us. He has, of course, released a very, very interesting investigative report on why Nigerian passports seem to be having challenges and a couple of booklets, rather, seem to be having challenges. We'll talk about that right after the short break.


Huge favor. I want you to write down like two, three things of who you were before you started with Prüben. It could be key tones, it could be community, but like who were you? I had a call yesterday with an amazing, amazing young lady. She's been with us for about five years. And is this interesting? Because in her mind, she's stuck. In her mind, she's not where she wants to be, right? But then I just reminded her of where she was when she started, right? Like, where was she when she started? And how different is she today? And it's so different in so many ways. She just had to be reminded of that, if that makes any sense. So what I want everybody to do is in the chat, I want you to really take the serious. If you're watching the replay, I want you to take the serious, like, who were you when you got started? Now, I'm not talking about your story. I'm not talking about, I'm talking about, like, who were you?  Because what we're going to cover today is really show, like, what the, I did a live yesterday, if you caught it. I mean, I went bonkers on it for like 30 minutes about the comparison of, like, Bitcoin versus key tones. And or digital currency, just different versus key tones. And I'm going to cover a little bit of that today. But I really want everybody to take a moment and reflect who were you? Not I was 70 pounds overweight. Maybe that was part of it. But like, who were you when you woke up in the morning? Like, what was your identity of who you were? Right. Did you wake up with, with hope? Did you see a few somebody muted me out? That's good. Before prove it, like for three years before prove it, I would sit down and I would go and do a power hour with Tony Robbins in the morning for an hour for three years before prove it. I would walk and try to manifest and talk into my life something better for three years, almost every single day I've rarely ever missed. I would do these crazy little meditations. I would researching on ways to make more income. I was looking for an opportunity to change my life. Who was I before I started is I was kind of lost. I didn't know who to follow. I knew I needed to do something different. I wanted to have a purpose. I wanted to feel important to contribute to more people. If that makes any sense. I wanted to help people. I wanted to make more money. I didn't think about traveling. There wasn't even in my scope yet because I was just trying to make my day better my life better. So like, who were you when you got started? Like, what did that really look like? If that makes any sense. I felt like I was just existing. I was searching for a purpose carry your stories remarkable and we're going to dig into your story a little bit more. I know Norma just got back from just got back from I don't see her on. I was going to put her on the spot. She didn't know it, but goodbye. The so I mute out if you guys can please. All right. So the biggest thing is is I want people to really understand like now what's changed since then? How have you changed this since then? If that makes any sense. What's different since then? And what how do you see the world? How do you see yourself differently since then? Okay. And I want you to really take a moment and just look into this. Now I'm not talking about just ketones. Ketones might be part of it. Maybe ketones were the things that were the catalyst to move you forward so that you could give yourself like, wow, I have control. I have choices.  I literally took my kids to school today and they were listening to some music that it's good, right? And so I went into my daydreaming mode and I'm sitting there daydreaming about like, you know, I could see myself working with Elon Musk. I don't know why that came to my brain today, but I was thinking about that. And what's crazy is before prove it, that would have been like never even a like, I would have never thought anything like that's even possible. How do you do that? I would have been discouraged to think that's even like, how do you how would that even happen? I would have made it hard on myself just to even have the thought.  I don't know how I did unfold, but I can see it's possible. What would we do? I don't know. There could be a few things we could do. Like this is what's crazy about what we have our hands on in this conversation. Like I just I want to go deep into this, but it's unbelievable. Like you can wake up every single day being part of this community and have hope that your life can be different before you were maybe not even hoping anymore. You didn't even know that it could be different. And so we have our hands on something really special. We have our hands on something truly remarkable.  And I think that's true. I think this is a little bit more special than that. And it's it's just remarkable when Carrie wrote in there and I think Lincoln can can can connect to I think a lot of us can connect to is before prove it. Like if you if you took a picture of her life and most people would want her life before prove it. If that makes sense, even though she just felt like she existed. Since then she has purpose and drive and contribution to more people and her family in a role model and all these things. And guess what in a year from now or two years from now she might go into a little bit of a winner. You never know. I'm not saying you are Carrie. I'm not trying to project that on you. And she's going to have to reflect back on these things because we all go through these phases. The lady I talked to yesterday, like she's changed so much. And to the point where she almost feels like she doesn't have anything to give anymore. Like her story is not good enough to give forward anymore. And I'm like, but look at how much you change. Remember, you are the most qualified. I want everybody to write this down and put it in the chat. You are the most qualified to help the person you used to be. You are the most qualified to help the person used to be. You're just a chapter ahead of somebody else in the book. You're just a chapter ahead of somebody else in the book. You're just a chapter ahead of somebody else in the book. If that makes any sense.  How you see the world now. What does that really look like for you? Kate asked me today, what do we want to talk about? I've been sitting on this for a while. And I'm like, I think it's time to get some people fired up. And sometimes we just need to be juiced a little bit. Sometimes we just got to have a little bit of fire under. And that's what I plan on doing here in just a minute. If I haven't already started. Two days ago, I was, I will say I woke up and I just felt like, man, like I need something to shift. Like I need a change. Anybody can relate to me. Like you feel like you just need a shift or a change or something that needs to happen. And I've been chatting back and forth. Brian and I have been texting a lot. And Brian and I have a unique relationship, not really unique. It's just, we don't always talk very often. And then we do talk, we talk a lot. And then we don't talk again for a while. So it's just, you never know. And we've been just talking almost every day this week about a few different things. And we both just, we were just like, what? Kind of like almost a little bit like, what are we doing? Like what are we doing here? Like not like what are we doing? We know our mission. We know what we want to impact. But we're like, we legitimately have something that is unbelievable, remarkable. Like it is such a big deal, what we have our hands on that we're, we know, and y'all, some of the things I can't say, you know, I'll be hosting the next Keto Academy coming up and I'm hoping some of this gets leaked out. I can't over talk about it, but I'm going to give you a little bit of insights on what's happening. But just let's separate, prove it from the product for just a second. I've been doing this for eight years and I've heard almost every story. Has anybody heard a story that just makes your skin crawl? Like, how is that even possible? How does like, how would it, how can somebody's life change that much? How can these, this like really is it, it's, can it really do those things?   And then what happened is I got obsessed with the one or two people that didn't get this amazing experience. I spend more time thinking about the person's life that wasn't changing fast enough. Their life was probably changing, but they were telling you it wasn't fast enough. Anybody relate? Anybody relate to the, oh my, my, like you have two people, right? One has a little bit of GI changes. The other one has a little bit of GI changes, but it bothers one person excessively and the other person's like, oh my God, better out than in. It's like a natural cleanse. They're having the same experience, but they look at it completely differently. You know what I'm talking about here? And what I found is every time I call it protecting, if you're watching Sherlock Holmes, protect your mind palace. It's the British version of Sherlock Holmes. If you like Sherlock Holmes, I'm a huge fan, so I watch a lot of his stuff or any of the stuff around it, but it's called protect your mind palace, protect your brain. So anytime I catch myself, and this is something I want to challenge everybody with just for a second, anytime you check yourself and you hear something and you're going, oh my goodness, and you think to yourself more than two times a day about the person that isn't having the best experience on ketones. It's not them at you.  All I'm going to ask you to do is that means you got to work on you. Where are you at? Because right now if you're part of this private community, most likely if you're brand new even, most likely you have two or three people or 30 or 40, 50 people that's life's had changed because of this product.  We have so much of that, but yet we obsessively to think about the one or two people that don't. I am really bad at this by the way. I have to remind myself continuously how powerful this is. The reason why I'm saying all this is that we got some new research. We have some ongoing research right now with the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense is our military by the way and working on ketones and how the brain is impacted. The preliminary data, which we already have had that from Augusta University in Georgia is absolutely mind breaking extraordinary. What what the data that's already been shown, which which led to the bigger study right now. This is a huge study. The initial study was a smaller pilot study had to do around the with the brain and the data that we got back a long story short. I actually met this lady that did the study on the side in in one of the few little pounds of water in Southern California in San Diego and she was being chased by a goose true story. I had to help the geese get away from her and that's how I met her. She ended up doing research with us five years later true story craziest thing ever. Right, serendipity, however you want to think about it's just unbelievably crazy how this lady came to be part of our proven community and doing the research behind that her data is showing how much this is impacting the brain in the next maybe year or two that data is going to be fully released and y'all what we have our hands on is something that we're not going to get to like I don't know if it's going to exist any other time in our lifetime like what this truly is from a I'm talking about the product. I'm not talking about proven right now. We're going to get back to that in a second, but what this truly is is just absolutely groundbreaking. So then Brian's like, you know what? I can't tell you the whole details, but we have a new patent. Yeah, you all know that we have 30 30 some patents on ketones right now and I don't know if you know the foundation and what that means, but Sarah, thanks Sarah. I'm reading the chat as I there is a format Sarah. Yes, you're getting all pulled into my format. We can talk about that another day another day. But y'all there is a we have patents coming up. We don't talk about our patents and there's reasons why we do and don't and and and I want to be clear here. The more often the more information you give people the slower everybody moves. Mitch Newman always says we were never so good when we were so down. Brian says I'll take fire. Our fire on a fire. I'll take ignorance on fire over knowledge on ice. I got to take ignorance on fire over knowledge on ice any day. What that means is that when you have all the knowledge which we have the patents, the international expansions, the approvals, the testings y'all it is unbelievable what's behind there and I have to try to dumb myself down.  I want to give you a little taste of it. Not the actual knowledge part of it, but the significance of what I'm talking about like unbelievable significance of what we're talking about here. And we we if we release at all what happens is Karen Petty gets smart and she starts talking about all this thing. But y'all think about it. Most people out in the world. They just want better. They don't know what they don't know yet. Let let the Keto Academy be smart. Let Dr. Kenneth Ford be smart. Let Dr. Ryan Lowry be smart. Let all the amazing research in the world be smart. We just have to know that what we're doing is something special, something that maybe has will never see in our lifetime again. I want you to think ahead 30 years from now when you're going to and I'm going to everybody out here right now or you're watching the replay. I want you to remember this in in 2030 years from now, you're going to say to yourself. I remember when they said this was going to be the case. This is the biggest health conversations we will probably ever see in our lifetime. You know, I've been to Columbia spent more money that I'd like to share out loud on stem cells and I ejected into my body. And what ketones have done for me is remarkably greater and bigger than those ever were. Now I'm a huge fan of some cells. You know, I'll talk days about those two, but there it was talk about 2030, $50,000 to get that done. Who can get that done, right? And you have to go to other countries just to have the good stuff put in you. Like it's it's absolutely ridiculous. And what ketones have done is exponentially greater for me and many other people. So he says to me, he goes, we have a new patent because I don't know how we can talk about it yet. And this new patent has to do with and the study that goes along with it. Now I knew about the study a long time ago. It's been ongoing for about three years. The study just under three years and improving the quality of people's health, helping them through just being healthier. And we don't know how we're going to if we're going to release it, how we're going to release this. But right now what I can tell you is people aren't well. We have a product that has been scientifically proven to just help people live and be healthy.  I'm talking about healthy. We already know the impact of anti-aging lung debbie the brain. We already know the impact of how it's doing around cognitive incline and improvement of the health. We already know the impact of how it's metabolically improves muscle mass. You all know that ladies, I'm getting hard. I'm I was going to say hard on men. That was just not the right words. I'm getting more aggressively, intently focusing on men. Ladies, you guys just think smarter than we are.  I'm just telling you, we wait till it's too late to change our lives. Ladies, you guys started early, but what we really need you to understand in this whole picture. Now, I'm not telling you to do anything different when you're talking about the product. And we're going to talk about some action steps in a second. But what I'm saying is this is that the muscle preservation and the brain preservations of ketones is something that is unbelievably important for you ladies. Women, by the age of 30, your muscle mass starts to be lost. Why you think people can't main their weight is because they're losing muscle. That's the number one reason. Then you didn't add metapause, everything else in there. I know I'm going to be wrong. I know diet and exercise is important here and we're going to keep that important. But what ketones do for this is unbelievable. The new patents and research coming out and there's so much more in the wind. There's so much more coming. It's absolutely extraordinary. And hopefully we'll get to touch a little bit on Keto Academy. And I'll let the researchers and Brian give more of the details if he's going to leak the details of it all. But what I want to tell you is this is that in 30 years when you're looking back and going, I remember when they said this is going to be this huge big deal. Nobody knows about this yet. I'm talking about less than 2% of the population, maybe 1% of the population, even understand what ketosis is. Less than 10% of that 1% know what drinking ketones is. And Brian and I are very passionate right now of like we need to get away from the ketogenic diet. Now, I know it's a niche. We got two people doing hair here. Tisa, Tisa. Did I say Teresa? Teresa? I don't know if I said your name right. It's Teresa. Teresa? Teresa? Teresa? Teresa. Teresa. All right. Teresa's doing her hair. Kate's doing her hair. Nice. I like it. But here's the deal is we really, this 2020, 2023 is time to make a shift away from the ketogenic diet. It's time. Now, if you're attracting, and I'm going to talk about that in a second, through low carb keto recipes, don't stop. Don't stop. It's us as a company is what I'm trying to say. We need to make this clear that we have a product that was invented. So you'd never had to do the ketogenic diet. Because right now in the ketogenic diet space, we're talking about less than 5% of the American population are even considering the ketogenic diet. Even though it's the number one conversation in the world that people already are like, I don't want to do that. I'm not interested in that. So we're as a company, we're missing something here. So we're making a shift intermittent fasting, right? Same thing. It's a small number of people that are doing it or willing to even do it. So we're going to take and use niches right now. The keto was the niche that got us to where we are. The keto diet was the niche that got us to where. Right now we have the key. We have fasting with ketones. It's a niche and over the next two, three, four years, we're going to evolve that. And what our job is as promoters is to find your role in what niche you want to roll, right? If you want to focus on the carb, low carb eating and like what Kate's doing, she's doing amazing at it. Then awesome, double down on that. Use these niches as a way to attract, but remember the longer picture. Remember the bigger picture. We have a product that will completely transform people's lives if they just keep drinking it no matter what diet they follow. Granted, if people are coming to lose weight and they don't lose weight, they're probably going to quit. Because their expectation was not met. And we have to work through that. We have to help them through that. And you and us as a team, we're going to work through that. So I just wanted to share with you all that little message is that every time these new research comes in, the we have something that I'm just telling you. It is special. If I could ask you right now, anybody on here, like I'm just going to ask you who right now, I want you to put in the chat yes or no. Which company would you would which company would you wanted to invest in in 1999 or in 2000? Amazon, Tesla, Google, Microsoft, Apple. Put in the chat which ones you would like to invest in. I'm waiting for somebody to say all of them. You guys are really good followers. Oh, there's Miguel. Miguel got it. All of them. You all, how many of you knew about any of these companies outside of Microsoft maybe before 1999? Very few of us on here really understood it. And of course, we very few of us understood that what it was going to become 12 years later. And every one of these companies did not make high profits. We're not a global brand for the first 10, 12, 15 years. Just so you're known. We're seven years in to prove it. We have the biggest conversation in the world from health and wellness perspective. It's what we do at the next part. So I'm going to end it with this. Last night, I did a zoom on Bitcoin versus ketones and right now three years ago, two years ago, five years ago, if I said you could have invested in Bitcoin, you would have all done it five years ago. Right now almost nobody's invested in Bitcoin. Everybody's terrified of it all. If you don't know Bitcoin is don't worry about it. But what happens is that we get so caught up and I think it's going to be something. I think digital currency is going to become about something really big. I just don't understand it. Like there's nothing that can quantify around it. Ketones, you have all these stories, right? You have a company. You have an education and a platform to go out and make a big impact. I don't think there's a comparison between the two, which which game you should be in from an entrepreneur side of things. And so when I asked you at the beginning, if you're late to jump on, I asked you at the beginning, I just asked you to put down who were you before you started prove it and not about your weight. That could be part of it. But who were you? How'd you think? How'd you feel about yourself? Did you have hope? Did you have a purpose? Did you have belief? Did you have a direction in your life? You wanted to go sent prove it. Has any of those things changed? Most likely I was confused. Rebecca says, yes, that's very, that's very common. And you have now a purpose and a direction to go with. So what I want to do is what I realize and something Brian, I've been chatting a lot about is that we as leaders need to get going in a bigger direction. We're like, what is that direction for us? One of us is one of our directions is to make sure that keto is known about its ketones is drinking ketones. It is not the ketogenic diet, although some people will do the diet with it or a low carb diet with it. And we love that we encourage that. But at the end of the day, our product stands alone. It stands alone. It was designed to stand alone and it works standing alone. We can enhance it with other possibilities, other benefits, but prove it itself is about disruption. It's about doing things that are great. It's about giving people the opportunity to grow. It's about giving people the platform to change their lives. And what's interesting, I heard a video. I've heard this 30 times this last probably three months and I'm like, why am I not doing that? Why am I not giving people the opportunity to change their life? What's holding me back? Why is it stopped me from doing that? Why am I judging them? Why am I deciding for them? Why I let, let, let give them the opportunity and let them decide where they want to play. Just be cool, Francisco would say. Just do it in a cool way. Don't be cheesy and weird about it. Just be cool. So over the next two, three years, prove it is going to grow exponentially. We're going to see more promoters coming into the company. Let me ask you this question. Since we've been talking more about promoters and roundtables, some of you new people. I want you to hold tight because I have something really fun for you. But have you guys been thinking more about promoter conversations? Has it been more in the front of your brain? And this is something Brian and I talked about. We don't want to change what we're doing. We want customers, customers, customers, customers, customers. At the same time, we want people thinking about the opportunity. So if we get it a 30% change, if you brought in one or two promoters a year, what if you brought in one or two promoters a month? How much different would your business be? Cameron Moss is enrolling somebody right now. That's awesome. Now, if you're bringing in two or three customers a year, what if you brought in two or three customers a month? If you're brought in two or three customers a month, what if you brought five or seven customers in a month? And that comes down to the art of attraction. But guess what? I'll take ignorance on fire over knowledge on ice any day. Get excited. And so right now, if you need help to get excited, if you need help to light yourself on fire, what I tell you is you got to get around the fire. That's the only way it works. And if we have to use some zooms to do that, but the best way and the only way I found to be the most effective is get in person. Invest in yourself. Get in person. Carol, how's your foot doing? Yes, but it's time that we make that shift. There she is. It's time to make that shift. And so if you're ready to change, I want you to put in the chat and write this down. What is your commitment level? You can write your goals down. I didn't want to do that today because I was going to talk too long. But what is your commitment level for the changes you want to make? Is it 100% or is it 50% and I'm okay with whatever that is. I just want you to hold yourself to the accountability of what it is with your expectations. How many people like it when somebody goes, I want to lose 100 pounds and they expect to do it in two months and you're like, well, they set themselves up for failure. I want to make $10,000 a month, but our commitment is 30% and our effort to do that isn't there to get. If that makes any sense. Is it fair that we say it didn't work? No, our expectations weren't there and our commitment to get there wasn't there. So I want you to really put down what is your commitment to doing this and I'm going to tell you what it's going to take. If you're 100% committed, if you're not, I'm going to give you what it takes to be 30% committed. The number one thing is that I learned when I started Prove It is that you never miss an event. Now life can get in the way. I've had babies. I've had two events, babies on the day born on the day of a Prove It event. True story. Two, two babies. What's the statistics of that? Two babies born on the exact same day. Interesting enough. It's also the events that I host. So I'm literally, I'm the host and I'm like, I can't come like I'm having a baby that day. True story. I didn't make those events, but I'm going to tell you right now come to every event. The people that show up to events, life's changed bigger. They charge change more. You and it might be a sacrifice. You might have to financially figure out solve for X. Let lean on the team for that. But get to the events. Get to more. Get to Keto Academy. Get to the events. The second thing I'm going to tell you is bring people with you. Bring people with you. This is what this is the advice I got. How do you build a million dollar business in this is you come to events and you bring people with you. Who's better at training people? Kate Higdon, Cameron Moss or you? They are. They just been doing it longer. They're not better. They but they're more skilled. If that makes any sense. They're bad asses, but they're just more skilled. Right. Cheers. If you want to be, I see it right. Did I say it right? All right. If you want to be a badass, then get around the badasses. Learn from them and you will grow an empire. Bring people with you. Listen, girl. I don't know if you like your life. This is where I'm going. I'm going to make an extra $3,000 a month. I'm going to start taking my kids to this private lessons for this because my daughter's really good at soccer and I wanted to have the best improvement is giving me the resources to do that. I don't know if you're just even looking to change your life, but I think if you came to this event with me, I think you would see that there's just more out there. Maybe it'll be a fit. Maybe it won't. Are you going to come with me? She might be a customer sitting on the back sidelines going. What do you do? What is this all about? Awesome. These events are just for promoters there for you to prospect people. They're these are these are opportunities for you to bring people to be around something that might be great for them. It's interesting how many people's lives have changed and prove it that haven't made millions of dollars yet. Carol, is your life changed and prove it? Have you made a million dollars yet? No. Boy, is her life changed. It's remarkable now dreaming and vision and where things are opportunities. It's awesome to come. She's a different person because of what we provided here and guess what? She can still make that money if she wants to. If she wants to put the time and the energy in and we find the right people to go out and do this, it will work out the way she wants to work out. It might not work out the same pace and speed as it did for somebody else. That's okay. Mandy Mitchell came in and blew me out of the water when she started prove it. Not even close to what she accomplished and what I accomplished. And I was in three years before her. So what good for her? She's amazing person. She deserved it. My path is just different than that. I'm growing a different pace, different speed and different different purpose. So this is what I want to tell you. We have something special coming. We have the number one personal growth platform in the entire world. God, I wish I could tell you everything that I heard the last two days. I had a, we had a conversation with Ed Mylet. And what he said was just absolutely wowing. And I can't say it, but I'm just going to tell you double down, triple down.  If you guys don't know that he also owns a lot of other companies. And double down. I'm telling you right now. I'm prove it on community based marketing. On what this every funnel, this make this the thing. If you have other projects, that's fine. I'm not telling you not to do other passions. What I'm saying is, is that this is a stream that can create something that will change not just your life, but the trajectory of your families and your futures. I can't wait to pass this on to my, my family, put it in a trust and pass it on to my answer. Or my, my kids, my kids, kids like that's what this is. It's something that's special. We have the number one product that's been created. Maybe in our lifetime to change people's health. We have a platform that focuses on elevating people's mindsets and purpose of themselves. And we have a financial opportunity to do that. It's now about how do we get excited about that? So here's your action step. This is what I'm going to give out you, give out to you guys right now. If you're brand new and you're excited about prove it and you want to do a private private private launch call. It may be with me. It may be with Kate. It may be with Cameron. It may be with Brian Underwood. It may be with Michael Rutherford. It may be with James Rice. We'll pick the person that fits your people. But if you want to really go after this. I want you to text me. My number is a visit. I want you to text me and tell me that you want to do this and I'm going to give you a challenge and we're going to put you into certain specific actions and activity. To get the same opportunity that I got that Kate got that camera got to start and launch their business. You guys can put my somebody put my phone number in there for me please. And then I'm going to ask you to do this. If you're truly committed to your journey. You said a hundred percent. What does that mean to you. What's your hundred percent social media game look like. What's your hundred percent. I want to do booths. If you really want to do booths and you haven't scheduled the booth. Then you're not that committed schedule it. The number one thing that ninety five percent of all your success comes into just starting it a KLP ninety five percent of a KLP is scheduling it. It's not the doing it. That's five percent. And yeah and don't count on just booths. Y'all we're going to get collaborative on all this stuff. You're going to become multi-dimensional. You're going to have one strength with multi dimensions. So if you're really committed and you want to go after this thing. I want you to send me a text and I'm going to put you into some action. My number to camera just put in. I want to put you into some action. If you want to get around the fire. I'm offering you a frickin boy toys boy toys a blue blue torch play point. That's my that's my inner German that came out of me. But let's go like if you really want to go after this. Let's go after this and guess what you might put my first KLP had one person there. Was I excited. Was I enthusiastic. Was I ambitious. Yes. I had one person there. One person. That's okay. That's the start. I don't care how many people show up. I just care about your energy that you want to be around it. If you're been here for a while and you want to go after this. I want you to send me a text. Tell me your commitment level. But if you've been here while I want to ask you what's step one. Step one is what's your first focus. What's your first attraction focus. Remember it's about it's about energy. It's about enthusiasm. It's about going for caring.  I know you can do amazing things. What's that one thing that you're willing to commit to. What's your energy towards that.  I don't want that. What's that one thing you're willing to double down on. Let's get that thing started. Let's get some energy momentum moving and then we'll start to diversify. If that makes any sense. If right now if you said Dustin I have two people that are on a hook for being a promoter. Let's get on a call with him and talk to him right now. Let's tell him where you're going. Why they should be with you and why this is something that they could change their life forever. Let's have a conversation. I just hit Kate Higdon. I'm like listen you need to get on with Brian right now and get all your promoters on within ASAP. She texted him that minute. She didn't wait. When can we set the call. Like get let's get near the fire y'all let's get near the fire. He's ready. I'm ready. Michael's ready. Kate's ready. Samantha's ready. I mean Carol's ready. Let's let's take action right now and let's make it happen because I promise you the person that puts their head down puts focus on and I get it. Y'all I got baseball practice. I got four kids. Oh my God. My brother a lot. I literally ran in circles for three hours this morning to make the zoom. I understand it can be complicated. I truly get that probably more now than I ever did before. At the same time if we want our life to change we have to change what we're doing. And we got to get excited. We got to get excited and if you can't stay excited there's something that was really cool and I'm going to encourage everybody to write this down. Last thing you have to write down is this watch just do it or do it by Art Williams because he said something to me that I think is really special. Anybody can get excited for a day or two. Some people get excited for a week or a month but it takes a special special person to get excited and stay excited and that's what this takes. Not forever but we are an airplane if your business is plateaued your business because everybody see me because I can't see me if your business is plateaued right you're sitting on the runway in an airplane right now. If you're just starting you're sitting on a runway right now. You have to create enough momentum moving forward to get off the ground. Does that make sense? If you just enroll one if you have one call every once in a while.  You can build this as a part-time business. You can build this at $500 a month or $1,000 a month. What I do want you to understand though is that if you take it really casually and slow you can get some you're going to get ups and downs you're going to get a stoplight that's going to stop your business for a while. That's part of it. So if you want to get this thing rocking and rolling we got to get that airplane off the ground and the only way to do that is to get excited and get people on calls more than just the guest call I love the guest call the night's going to be unbelievable Ryan's going to be honest can be awesome use that call get everybody on that call right but then it's like getting on a private conversation Karen get on a private conversation me and you with one of your people let's get on and talk let's get on and see where they're at let's get you fired up and excited let's get them excited then let's get their person excited let's get their person excited what that's going to do is get you off the ground maybe you get to $30 or get to 10,000 feet and you're like listen I got I got this happening end of the school year this is happening I got more event okay good let's maintain 10,000 maybe we slept at 9,000 but if you stay at 9,000 feet for a long time you might get a little frustrated feel like you're not growing so guess what we got to get off the ground again we got to take off again we got to get excited about something the way to get excited is you get in front of people get in events and get on the right calls stay on the calls and get going on this that's the only way to get excited otherwise you get in your own head and it goes the wrong direction so y'all I am super fired up y'all I just I got so much so much excitement but this isn't about what do I post today this isn't about what products do I take today this isn't about any of those things what I want you to understand today it's about your energy can you elevate it and can you keep it up can you have a bad day tomorrow and get up and say listen I'm gonna freaking crush it anyway and if you need to get on a call and say listen I got a girl right now she I think she'd be great at this good let's get on talk just talk to her if it's your sister and you think your sister is gonna be good at this say listen Dustin I want you to talk to my sister I think she's gonna be good at this and I get out of your sister and she's like I don't know what this is all about this is stupid I'm not doing any scheme that's okay I'll have to talk to her I'll have a freaking full out conversation with her and I guarantee you at the end she at least will be happy for you she may not join you she probably will but she may not but she'll be happy for you because of what we have we have the number one product that you'll we're gonna I mean just so excited this is this is such a huge breakthrough in the product but it's not even about the product it's about you it's about your energies about where you want to go it's about it's about how you talk and present I guarantee you get fired up more people on social media follow you not because of your hashtags not because of anything else it's sheer energy my sister told me this one time and this was after like three years in privilege because Dustin every time I go to a privative event I get more signups but I don't do anything differently and now that's just you can call it law of attraction you can call energy every single time I go what's the secret of that she goes I need to come to more events I go the real secret is you need to come to all the events and have that same energy when you're at home if that makes any sense and that's the secret of what we're doing so listen if you're a little bit juiced up a little bit fired up I want you to give me some fired emojis in the chat if you're fully committed to doing something and if you put a 30% down there and like hey I'm 30% committed I don't want you to be discouraged by that there's times where I'm 30% committed at times because that's what happens to I had life happening where I have to have commitment somewhere else if that makes sense when I had a baby right my commitment was to make sure my family was okay yes we had to make sure the business was going to but I had energy that was my my my priorities were in conflict in some ways right they're both important to me but one had to be on a higher priority so if you're at 30% right now that's okay it's going to change and you have somebody that's interested in ketones are interested in building a business or you just think is a cool person let's get on a call and talk to them no expectations let's make some action happen if you haven't committed to to Nashville yet it's going to sell out it's like a two or three tickets away get your butt to Nashville we have a lady driving 14 hours from Canada to come to Nashville because it's more cost effective good I proud of her for that that's amazing but get your butt to Nashville you can't make Nashville get your butts to Kentucky not to Kentucky that's in June get your butt to Vegas and get around the fire if it's an hour if it's two hours if it's 10 hours driving from upstate New York I love it y'all I have amazing amazing amazing day if you can take this energy and move it forward listen we have a chance but this is this is I believe one of the chances this is Google this is Amazon this is Tesla this is Microsoft this is Apple 20 years ago just I think about that 20 years ago we are sitting it with it in our hands right now what are we going to do with it it's not about selling ketones y'all it's about selling a vision a dream of where you want to go Chadman I'm stoked to see you on here and you're looking good brother you're looking good y'all have a great day truly truly appreciated the action steps simple get excited send me a message let's get on some calls with people that want to make some action happen let's let them feel the energy of making a difference in their life if you have two people that want to get back engaged that haven't been in part of this in a while let's get on a call and talk we're not going to talk for hours but let's just get them rocking and rolling so Jody miss you Jody you know I look at our picture our break in arrow picture almost every week I don't know if she just got on so with that said y'all I have to hop off I'm going to show up now I'm fired up have an awesome awesome awesome day and I hope to have my calendar full over the next few days of calls calls calls calls calls calls calls calls calls calls calls calls and I might say calls not zoomed because I need to walk and talk sometimes so if you don't see my face sometimes that's okay because sometimes I'm wiping a baby's butt at the same time I'm talking because sometimes you just got to do that with that said and done see y'all Nashville here's y'all


Sealing a dynamic collaboration, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Food Security, and Rural Development hosted a signing ceremony marking a significant partnership with the World University Service of Canada, WUSC, to drive forward a sub-project dedicated to sustainable agriculture. At the heart of this collaborative effort is the focus on improving agricultural practices, specifically targeting pest and disease control, while also emphasizing the involvement of women and youth in enhancing the growth of vegetables and root crops. Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Food Security and Rural Development, Barry Moffillicier, says the ministry will be providing technical expertise, coordination, and capacity-building for stakeholders, particularly producers. He expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating this collaboration holds immense importance for stakeholders and builds upon the strong foundation established within the framework of the sustainable agriculture in the Caribbean project. So this collaboration is important as the gains there are real gains for farmers and persons who are building the capacity or have the capacity built in managing pest and disease, and we know that the diseases and the pest particularly affect your productivity, your yield, and the quality and standard of crop that you produce and bring to market. So all of that is an aim to improve the standard of produce, the capacity of the farmers, the yield of the farmers, the income of the farmers, and build on a livelihood. So this partnership is important to us, it's important to our stakeholders, and we're building on the relationship that we have under the general framework of the SUP project, and we hope and pray that we continue to receive the support from us to have other initiatives such as this. Country coordinator of the OECS of the WISC's Sustainable Agriculture in the Caribbean Project, Nadia Pakhet Anselm, says this initiative is a crucial component of Canada's Caribbean Regional Development Programme, exemplifying Canada's commitment to fostering socio-economic development, climate resilience, and food security in St Lucia, and across the wider Caribbean region. She also highlighted the critical role of the collaborative partnerships in driving progress beyond conventional practices, leading to the adoption of innovative research, climate resilient techniques, and technology in the agricultural sector. By capitalising on inert expertise which is within the Ministry for the Extension Support Services, we're trusting that we can empower these groups within the agricultural market systems to focus on sustainable climate resilient agriculture. We aim of course to enhance equitable accessible services and knowledge through this partnership and the participation in this initiative. We entrust that through this initiative that we will improve farmers' ability to manage pest and diseases, lend them to higher yields, improve crop quality, and we also trust that through this initiative there will be a shift to focus on more environmentally sustainable and friendly pest and disease control methods, thus of course contributing to the sustainability and the resilience of St Lucia's agricultural sector. This collaboration between the Agriculture Ministry and Woosk Caribbean signals a united effort towards achieving sustainable agriculture, elevating food security, and advancing economic well-being across the Caribbean. As this partnership takes root, it is anticipated to yield fire-riching benefits, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and prosperous agricultural landscape.
