I know I'm the last one and I'm holding, I'm between you all and dinner, so I'm going to keep this efficient. Thanks for the opportunity to be here and present, present my work is to be here at my home presenting to you in Europe I appreciate the opportunity. As mentioned, I'm talking about Adamistic insights and friction of MLS to and beyond. This is work done by my former PhD student Muhammad Viser Shirek, and in collaboration with Rob Carpix group at the University of Pennsylvania. So before we go too far I just want to excuse me have a little cold. Before we go too far is want to let you know where I'm speaking to you from. I'm at the University of California Merced. We are located right here in the center of California. The focus is the newest in the UC system opened a little over 15 years ago, and you will be welcome anytime please do visit. All right, let us jump into it, excuse me. The focus or the start of today's talk is going to be a molybdenum disulfide I assume that this audience is very familiar with MLS to, but a brief intro this material is layers of molybdenum and sulfur sandwiches. It appears both naturally and synthetically in a variety of different crystallographic phases and forms that correspondingly have different mechanical thermal and electrical properties. But the most important property from a tribal logical standpoint comes from the layered structure of the material. We have strong bonds within the layers and relatively weak bonds between the layers, which enables or provides the material very low shear strength and correspondingly low friction and where. Actually is nothing new, it was patented for tribal logical applications almost 100 years ago now. And today it's actually used as an additive increases and lubricating oils, particularly those for specialty applications. And most who is also used as a solid lubricant or surface coating for mechanical components like bearings in applications where liquid lubricants are not possible. For example too hot to cold vacuum corrosive etc. One of the prototypical or the prototypical situation for solid lubricants is outer space and shown here on the left is the James component from the James Webb Space Telescope, and a bearing on that telescope that has an MOS to coding. Over here on the far right you see microstructure of the MOS to the demonstrates the Miller structure. So most who is already being used as both an additive and a solid lubricant. The challenge with using most two for such applications is that it's frictional behavior depends on pretty much everything. And that depends on how it synthesize the temperature of the environment, even the substrate roughness showed here on the right of this slide is just one representative example, where we're looking at friction as a function of sliding cycle for order versus amorphous and different temperature and oxygenation conditions. And we see that the friction varies dramatically from case to case. From an engineering design perspective because you really can't predict what the friction is going to be as the properties and conditions vary. Another approach to kind of capturing this is empirical. So here's just again just one example where we're looking at sheer strength as a function of temperature, and we see a monotonic decrease that can be fit to an equation. So this expression here captures the experimental data and some of the parameters indeed can be tied back to physical insights. And this is, again, a reasonable approach compliments compliments design enabling some degree of prediction, but there simply are so many parameters that affect MOS to friction that it's a little bit. It's still a challenge. And here are some empirical approaches. Excuse me, our fundamental studies. And this is what I'm going to be showing you here today. The concept is is that if we look really closely at the surface of an MOS to code a component for example, we see that it comprises many asperities. If we can look at just one single asperity and understand its friction, perhaps we can scale that understanding up to larger, larger components and potentially provide guidance for design. So this approach is realized in research environments using experiments and simulations. Again, I mentioned that the business in collaboration with Rob Carpick's group and of course the AFM results I'm going to be showing you our, our his. So this fundamental approach is realized by combining atomic force microscopy which this session knows all about you've been hearing about it for for a little while now compliment complimented by molecular dynamic simulations, an example of which is shown on the right. I'm not sure about designing experiments and simulations together. And again this could be a whole talk but I just want to point out one key point here that friction has involves two things involves two bodies were sliding in relative motion. So designing a model of an AFM experiment must necessarily capture not only the structure of the sample being measured but also the tip, including its structure shape crystallographic orientation and so on. But once you do that you can really get pretty good matching results. What I'm showing you here on the top. These are friction maps, where there's the AFM experiment on the left and the MD simulation on the right. And down here on the bottom what you're looking at our line traces so this black line across these figures on the top represents these trace the trace and retrace shown here on the bottom. The key feature that you want to look at here is that you can see these stick slip or the sawtooth patterns, which correspond to the tip sticking and slipping across the surface. The reason that's really important from a fundamental study point of view is that the spacing of these features corresponds to the atomic lattice of the sample. This means that we are measuring friction that can be tied back to kind of a ground truth, we're tying this nebulous thing this friction back to something that's well known, the lattice spacing of the service which is really promising for using a fundamental approach to understanding friction were generally shown here as an example of the kind of friction data that Rob was able to get in his group. There are two different friction loops at different. These examples are two different temperatures and these are both on MOS to, and you can see the characteristics stick slip pattern, which again indicates that we're able to correlate friction back to the atomic lattice. Okay, so we've already identified a connection between atomic lattice and friction let's take this one step further, knowing the crystallographic orientation and structure of MOS to. On our left, we see her top down schematic, and one can imagine or hypothesize that you might get higher friction along the armchair direction because effectively if we were drawing this line, we would cross more of these atoms, and if we were drawing a line along this exact direction. So we performed experiments and simulations again, scanning along these two directions on the MOS to service and indeed, we see much higher friction, as well as higher energy dissipation. The map the gap between the friction, the trace and the retrace in the 30 degree direction which corresponds to armchair. So again this is pretty exciting because it's connecting friction to something that we know about the material. The direction dependent study one step further and scan in all of the possible different directions from from a center point on monolayer and bulk MOS to an experiments and the monolayer studies shown for simulations. What these plots are showing here, this is a radar plot, and what this indicates the directions indicate the direction of sliding. Okay, and where when you're further away from the center that indicates higher friction. So, the key point here is that in all three cases, we see two low friction directions, and the rest high friction directions. So we're seeing two fold symmetry and a strong correlation between friction and the direction on which you slide relative to the crystallographic lattice. But this is a little confusing because one would expect six directions where you get low friction. To understand this we first looked at the potential energy landscape of the surface. These colorful fancy figures here. The color represents the energy. So hot red is high energy and blue is low energy. The ideal potential energy surface was measured or calculated in the simulations using a single atom probe. And we found as expected, six low friction directions. However, recall that I told you that friction involves two bodies, right the tip and the substrate. So we repeated the potential energy surface calculation using the tip itself to measure the energy landscape, and it found a completely different picture with low friction in just two directions. The key point here is that the friction we observe is correlated not only to the crystallographic orientation but perhaps as expected, the surface energy. So now let's take this one step further I titled this presentation mo s to and beyond. So let's go one step beyond and try a comparison between mo s to and graphing. So these are the prototypical 2D materials or structures are shown here on the right they're both layered. Can we compare them. And more importantly, can we understand their differences as a means of kind of getting back to the origin of friction. So this study was made possible experimentally by samples synthesized in Charlie Johnson's group at the University of Pennsylvania, showed here on the left. And if I zoom in on this little part here what you can see is that there are regions of graphing. There are regions of mo s to and then there are regions where there's mo s to on top of the graphing. And we're calling that the heterostructure. And what's really cool about these samples is that Rob's group was able to scan all three of these regions graphing mo s to and the heterostructure along the same scan line, such that they could could be compared apples to apples shown here is a result on the left you're looking at the experiment and the right is the simulation. And you can already right away see these are just single scan lines that the friction of the mo s to appears to be a little higher than the friction on the graphing in both the simulations and experiments. And I think that these little step these features here is the sharp peaks correspond to step edges as mentioned by the earlier presenter in this section. To confirm this difference we perform the simulations and experiments again simulations on the left experiments, I'm sorry, experiments on the left simulations on the right were performed at different normal loads. And consistently, the friction of the mo s to is higher than the friction on the graphing grappings and black here. Also, in some of the cases, we see the heterostructure that's in red has lower friction than the mo s to directly on the substrate. So to understand this we turn back to our potential energy landscapes again the color here reflects energy, red is high and blue is low. And we see that the barrier, the energy barrier in other words the barrier that the tip has to move across to slide forward is higher or highest on the mo s to, and this is consistent with the friction that we observe. These were calculated on using the empirical force field. So we asked our colleague Aaron Johnson at Dalhousie University to corroborate them with some DFT calculations. And here you're looking at a comparison of sliding of methane as a just a proxy for a tip in DFT where the blue is the mo s to, and the black is the graphing and we can see again, higher barriers on the mo s to. So we see again that structure matters but also the surface energetics. So now you might be saying maybe I'll back that well, I'll leave it here. You might be saying you know what, there really could be thousands of differences there are thousands of differences between mo s to graphing that's not really an apples to apples comparison. So we went one step further and we performed a study comparing transition metal disheveled and ice. So this is a class of materials that involves metal transition metal and a child could get chelcogen and mo s to is one such example. So here's again our mo s to structure. And in this case we perform a systematic study, we varied this element between sulfur and mo s to selenium and tellurium. And you can see they all have the characteristic transition metal disheveled and I tmd structure with slightly different lattice spacing. So this is going to enable us to do again that apples to apples comparison with the goal of correlating friction back to fundamental ground truths of the material shown here are the results from the AFM experiments. On the left you can see here a friction map indicating that we're capturing the atomic stick slip. And on the middle part here we're looking at friction traces. And very interestingly, the mo t to has the lowest friction and the mo s to that we've always viewed as the super low friction material actually has higher friction. So, mo t to then mo se to then mo s to what we why could this possibly be. So here are the simulations of the same three materials shown here in the middle is the line trace results, same trend, mo t to smallest mo s to highest to confirm this was representative across all different sliding directions. Here is friction on a radar map that I introduced previously, again recall that data points further towards the perimeter of the circle indicate higher friction. And we can see that the highest friction is the mo s to everywhere except for these two low friction directions where they're really too low and too close to differentiate. We spent also a ton of time trying to explain this using data in the simulations. We looked at contact area deformation all all different things we could possibly think of based on guidance from the literature. There we go. Oops. Sorry about that. I have a little bit of lag. Oh, there we go. Okay, folks. There we go. So what you're looking at here is the color maps are the energy landscape as measured using the AFM tip. The black moving lines here are the trajectory of the tip in the simulations. And this bottom part is the corresponding lateral force or the friction force. And you can see a few interesting things here. First of all, we find that the tip does not move over the energy barriers, but instead goes around them and crosses at the saddle points. So this kind of obviates or, or maybe we'll say confuses at least analyses of the potential energy barrier or the highest point to explain friction. We can also see even from these movies that the path that the MOT2 takes is quite a bit different from the path that the MOS2 takes or rather the path that the tip takes on these materials differs. So let's look at just a still photo instead of the movies. And again we see that the trajectory on the MOT2 is quite a bit different from that on the others. What we did, again, based on the fact that we see the tip moving or crossing at the saddle points is we looked at the energy profile right at those saddle points. So these dashed lines that I'm indicating right here. These dashed lines correspond to what's shown in this figure, which is the saddle point energy profile for the three different materials at three different locations. And what we found, although not that this part isn't shown here, the barrier heights are about the same, but the MOT2 saddle point is wider. And this actually makes sense if you look at the crystallographic structure over here the MOT2 has the largest lattice spacing, and therefore has the largest or the widest saddles by which the tip can traverse and therefore the lowest friction. To generalize these results we used a Prandtl Tomlinson model. This was mentioned in an earlier presentation today. This is mimicking an AFM with a point mass connected by a spring to this moving point and energy barrier with height U and last spacing A. Because we're looking for sort of two-dimensional paths for the tip to move, we used a two-dimensional PT model that we developed previously, that again the key features are the energy, which we showed several times earlier in the talk was important part of friction, and also last spacing as indicated by our study or comparison of the three TMDs shown here are the results of the PT model. This colorful figure is energy on the y-axis lattice constant on the x-axis, and the color represents friction where red is highest. What we see here is that friction decreases with energy barrier as expected as seen many times before, but also I'm sorry I was circling the wrong thing. Increases with energy barrier, excuse me, over here on the right, as shown many times before, if you have higher energy barriers, it's harder to get across and the friction is higher. However, we also see that friction decreases with lattice constant. So what we're finding here is direct connections between energy barriers, which are a function of the two-machines in contact, but also the crystallographic lattice of the substrate, in this case specifically the lattice constant, which affect and its effect may come into play, particularly for surfaces that have similar energy barriers. Okay, so coming into the conclusion here, I know I can hear your stomach scrumbling from all the way from California. I titled this thing Going Beyond, and I wanted to mention just a few key points. I showed you a comparison of three transition metal dishockonides that enabled us to isolate the origins of difference in their friction. I think that looking at other TMDs is really a promising area for friction studies, because there are so many different possible combinations of elements. If we can understand how these different combinations of elements make create for materials, and then underscoring that to their friction, we might be able to ultimately produce or provide guidelines for quote unquote designer TMDs. Another dial that can be turned in MOS2 and similar such studies is our dopants. So with dopants, you can add our very small amounts, very small elements added in very small quantities to the material that can completely change their properties. For MOS2 specifically, it's been shown that dopants can drastically affect their friction and particularly their temperature performance. So this is a study where at high temperature, we see one of the best materials is this gold based dopant right here, the screen one. Excuse me. But at lower temperatures, a nickel dopant was found to be best. So again adding very small quantities of dopants, you're completely changing the properties. So we performed another study on nickel dopant and found that particularly at low contact pressures, it can dramatically increase the wear life of MOS2 coatings. Lastly, I introduced the idea of a heterostructure when I showed you the graphing MOS2 work, but this is kind of just the tip of the iceberg right. There's so many different possible 2D materials. Conceptually, we may be able to combine them, layer them, group them to customize or tune the properties of two dimensional low friction materials. So wrapping up, MOS2, which is what I started with is already being used as an additive as a coating, it's limited in that it's hard to predict. So from a design perspective, it's hard to predict how it's going to perform under different conditions. I also propose that a fundamental approach to understanding the connections between ground truth like lattice constant and friction is really needed to perform the baseline to ultimately get us to where we need to be for design guidelines. I'm doing single disparity studies as I showed you with AFM and complementary molecular dynamics. And ultimately, I hope that these kinds of studies can provide the fundamental understanding that we need to design 2D materials with tunable or optimize properties. Thank you again for this opportunity to share our research with you from California. I know I know we're going to be short on time and you all are hungry. Please do ask questions now or my email is here and you may follow up with me remotely later. Thank you again. See. Very nice. Do you have questions. Thank you. Thank you for very nice talk. I just wanted to image the friction map across heterostructure. I think you said the friction map on the heterostructure of graphene, which was this, this one. Yeah, this is a trace. Do you have also the map of it or let's say business? I don't have that in front of me. We do have, we do have friction maps that I don't have that in this presentation. Okay, okay. Thank you very much. May I ask something? You started saying that within things made covered with the most as to the where differences, or did I understand wrongly so that the preparation changes the properties. The introduction. That's absolutely right. How it's deposited under what conditions it's deposited. Now this work was done at Sandia, and they found that MOS to frictional behavior is very dependent, not just on the conditions in which it operates, but the conditions in which it's synthesized. So it's a pretty strange or something that is not perfect material in all these cases. And it's partially due to that.  Actually, maybe this here's another example. I don't see the lamella aligned with the direction of sliding. So there's expected to be some kind of a run in period, where you're getting from the as synthesized structure to something like this locally. And so it's believed that how you synthesize the material affects the, the reorientation of the material to get you to that low friction behavior. I have just a question. If you change sliding direction on mobile than this or fight. Are you going also to change the slope of stick slip characteristic. Oh gosh, that's a good question. I don't know if we have anything. I can't tell. It's a very good question. I'll have to follow up on that. Next question like for the doping, do you know where in which site, you think to the dopants will be included if we'll be like interlayer or if there is some substitution depending on the element. That's a, that's a really good question as well and the answer is going to be that I don't know. So shown here is a schematic of the possible positions where nickel could be in this study was nickel but I think this is a more general maybe I'll just say it generally. There's the possible position so we can have an S substitution. We can have a molybdenum substitution here we have two different possible interpolation sites between layers. The reality is that it depends on quite a few things it depends on which element it is. It depends on the concentration of the element. And again it also depends on how it's synthesized. When when the materials deposited if there's a lot of energy available you may or may not have a atoms may or may not have access to certain sites. So, the reality is that it's probably a mix and the preferred position depends on what's in there and how it's made. Thank you very much. And with this we close the session and we close for everybody. And then at the bus and Adriatic shuttle is at 6 30 so.


So I apologize for not being on camera for this one, but having some technical difficulties so you're just going to get some voiceover gameplay stuff here, maybe a few relevant images. Because I have something I want to say, and I feel it's extremely important to talk about in wake of any concerns people have over a new potential switch, the Nikkei report kind of suggesting that instead of like a Switch Pro it'll be a next generation switch, which is kind of like going from Playstation 4 to Playstation 5, the Switch Mini, and essentially the idea that it doesn't matter what Nintendo does because they're going to be screwed by Playstation 5, we now know some of the specs for Playstation 5 which are pretty impressive at least on paper, and that the Switch Pro or the new generation Switch needs to exist or the Switch itself is going to be left in the dust by the Playstation 5 in the next Xbox. And I'm going to say something here that I don't know, it's just even a controversial take, but I think it's obvious and something that needs to be stated because nobody seems to be willing to admit it. But the Nintendo Switch is not competing with the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One. It's not competing with the Playstation 5 and the next Xbox. It's not even competing with cloud gaming services. You could argue in general the Switch competes with all of these because it is a video game platform like all of the rest, but what the Switch is doing isn't replaced by a Playstation 5, it isn't replaced by the next Xbox or the Playstation 4 for that matter, or the Xbox One, or Google Stadia, or any of these other services. None of them replace what the Nintendo Switch does. Now you could argue Google Stadia might come the closest, but again there's a requirement to that that the Switch doesn't need, aka the internet. So the Switch is really only competing with itself. Now let me be clear, there are other hybrid systems on the market. There's like the GDP win 2, probably the GDP win 3 coming out soon, there's a couple other handheld contenders out there. Obviously the Vito was around for a while, 3DS kind of competed with Nintendo's platform although obviously in a different way. And ultimately the Switch is kind of in its own territory at the moment where maybe its closest competitor is a smartphone, but even then the Switch has unique advantages for gaming over smartphones such as it comes with controllers with physical buttons such as an easy dock with your TV that doesn't require opening up different applications and wirelessly connecting and even when you wire connect to the TV it's not perfect with phones sometimes. And it depends on what brand TV you have, like I have a Samsung Smart TV and I have a Samsung phone so they interface really well together, but even then it requires some extra effort over just literally drop the Switch in a dock and it just works. So the reality we're sitting at here is Nintendo Switch Pro or the next generation Nintendo Switch doesn't need to exist because PlayStation 5 and the next Xbox are coming. I've said this before and people get mad at me every time I bring it up because they think that I am against the idea of Switch getting all AAA third party games, which that couldn't be further from the truth. I have publicly stated on many occasions that I want Switch to get every game, but the Nintendo Switch isn't successful because of those games. I've brought this up before and I hate that I got to bring it up again, but Nintendo Switch is selling on the back of exclusives, on the back of Nintendo games like Wii U ports and on the back of some of the best indie games in the market, none of which necessarily require the most powerful hardware. So what you're left with is that Switch's sales are primarily coming from first-party games, second-party games, third-party exclusive games. Autopad Traveler, although it's going to PC, it's still console exclusive just as an example. Mario plus Raven's Kingdom Battle, Fire and Memorials, etc. Second-party games and you can argue things like Xenobay Chronicles 2 all that Nintendo only owns that studio now, but whatever they didn't find the studio that technically makes a second party. The point I'm making is that these games are what's selling the system, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in partnership with obviously Sakurai's team and a Bandai Namco, like these are the games that are moving Switches. This year, what are the games that are going to move the needle for Switch? Well, Super Mario Maker 2 landing in June is probably the first major game that's really going to move the needle for Switch, not Yoshi's Crafter World last month, not Mortal Kombat 11 this month, although I think it might perform better on Switch than I anticipated. I don't consider it a system seller, but Super Mario Maker 2 in June. We have Fire Emblem 3 Houses in July. We're going to have an Animal Crossing at some point this year. We're going to have Pokemon coming out probably in November. So those are the pillars under which the Switch is selling. And in between, everything else just sells really, really well as filler content, like Yoshi's Crafter World or like Kirby or Mario Tennis Aces, Super Mario Party. All these kind of games sell just really well in between as do a bunch of indie games. None of this changes when the PlayStation 5 comes out. None of this changes when the next Xbox comes out. So the Switch is supposed to suddenly be crippled in sales because platforms are coming out that don't replace what Nintendo does. Unless PlayStation 5 is a hybrid portable system for $300 or less, what is Nintendo worried about? And based on the specs they detailed, it's not that. Because those specs are not available in the type of mobile form Nintendo has. You can get it in like a laptop form, but that's a little, that's well beyond being remotely close to being handheld. Some people feel like Switch even pushes the boundaries on being a traditional handheld system just because of its size and it not necessarily being as pocketable as some other platforms out there. So the reality that we're facing here is that the next generation Switch, if it's, if that's what it's going to be, or a Switch Pro, if that's what it's going to be, or Switch XL, the Switch Mini, these platforms aren't existing because of what the competitors are doing. Nintendo has told us repeatedly that they don't make decisions based on what the competition does. And that has frustrated many of us for years because then it means that Nintendo's not paying attention to what's going on around them. I mean, the Nintendo Switch, you know, online as an example, could be much better if Nintendo paid attention to what everyone else is doing instead of trying to do their own thing. So it's been to their detriment at times, but it's also to their unique advantage too. What Nintendo did with Wii and catching lightning in a bottle was literally doing the exact opposite of what everyone else was doing. They were pushing for HD and just, you know, more powerful systems and it's like, look, we're just going to give you a GameCube again. Yes, I know it's more powerful than a GameCube, but same chip. So we're just going to give you a GameCube again, but give you motion controls and it worked. Oh, you know, handhelds are getting more powerful. Well, how about instead of just focusing on power, let's give you two screens, or let's give you glasses free 3D, or let's give you a tablet bundled in with your system. I know seems really weird today to talk about Wii U in that light, but still it all came from Nintendo, just not caring what anyone else is doing and just doing their own thing. And what Nintendo has done with Switch is do their own thing yet again. Now they aren't the first hybrid system to come out, of course, but they are the first hybrid system to be this successful. Because as everything in life, timing is important. Software is important. Functionality is important. Branding can be very important as well. And all of this kind of worked to the Switch's advantage. In addition to the product itself, looking like something an adult wants to actually own, all the advertising targeted at young adults, some very smart marketing at play. Switch itself is a success for many reasons. And part of that is because there is nothing that actually does what the Switch does, at least at this level of popularity. And because of that, you're left with a platform that doesn't need to concern itself with the fact it's not as powerful as a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One. Because it's bread and butter in terms of sales isn't the games that those systems get. This game, like this system doesn't sell because of FIFA and Madden and Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed. It's selling because of Mario and Zelda and I almost said Pikmin for a second, but we need to get that Pikmin for eventually Animal Crossing here and Pokemon and Smash Bros and Mario Kart and Kirby. And all those games are like why this system is selling. Not because we got LA Noir last year or Skyrim, or we did get FIFA the last couple of years and NBA. And all those games do well enough, but if you look at the actual sales, that's not what's moving the needle. So again, the PlayStation 5 is looking really impressive with its Ryzen 3 CPU at eight cores, although we don't know what clock speeds those cores are running at with its new Navi GPU with ray tracing. All sounds great, so apparently some next generation SSD technology that PC users don't even have. All of this sounds amazing, but the big caveat here is Switch isn't competing with that in the first place. That is for something that is built to be in your home under your TV and never move. That isn't what Switch is. Switch is meant to be taken with you anywhere. The idea, the very premise of Nintendo Switch is game the way you want anywhere. You want a game on your TV? Do it. You want to pick that game up and take it with you on a walk? Do it. On the bus, on the train, on the airplane. It's transformative, right? From tabletop to handheld to on your TV. PlayStation 5 is not doing that. So until I hear the PlayStation 5 and Xbox One are actually trying to encroach on the audience Switch is getting for itself, which is a hybrid audience. And maybe you can argue Switch is a secondary system for some of those people that own PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and that's fine. Or PC. But that's the thing. What is happening with the next generation systems doesn't affect what's happening with Switch. The only thing that you can be concerned about at all is that the sparing third party support we do get. The Doom Eternals. The Wolfenstein 2's of the world. The Mortal Kombat 11. The Crash Team Racing. That we're just not going to get those games for a while. But then this is where I have to remind you how Sony handled last generation and what Mark Cerny said about the upcoming generation. He stated in the same article when he's talking about backwards compatibility and how amazing the PlayStation 5 is going to be. He openly stated that they are going to be supporting the PlayStation 4 for years to come. What that means is if you remember the transition between PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 for two to three years almost all of the games that came almost all. Not all of them. But almost all of the major games that came to PlayStation 4 still released on the PlayStation 3. So what does that mean for Switch? Well it means that the kind of support we're getting now we're still going to get for the next two to three years until developers stop making those lesser versions you know quote unquote lesser versions of the game for older hardware. So Switch is still perfectly positioned to have a normal five to six year console run before PlayStation 5 could even possibly threaten getting rid of all of those games from Switch. And granted we don't get a lot of them as is. So what is the point then of releasing a next generation Switch next year or Switch Pro? Well the point is to fix things that are wrong with the Switch because what becomes apparent over time and I talked about this in my theory about how the Switch Pro or I guess this next generation Switch might be what Switch was always meant to be is that Switch is an inherently flawed system. It's an amazing system with massive appeal but it's flawed and the longer they don't do anything about those flaws on a massive scale the more and more those flaws are going to feel like it's holding back the system years down the road. The idea of Nintendo Switch at least with what we're can gather from Nvidia and their public statements is they have a 10 year partnership which means Switch itself has like a 10 year life cycle and you're not going to keep the OG Switch released in 2017 using technology from 2015 as relevant in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 by just continuing to roll out that technology with all of the inherent flaws that tech has plus the Switch has in general from scratching screens and broken locks and joycon drift and all like all of these things can be addressed on the individual level or you can redesign the product, repurpose the product repackage that product and give us a better version a next generation version of Switch as it were and in doing that you end up with a product that has more staying power in the market you end up with a product that can slowly phase out the original Switch with a better version that makes people not feel like it's so dated and I think that is why Switch is doing what it's doing it's got nothing to do with the PlayStation 5 or the next Xbox it has to do with the Switch itself I think all of us as Switch owners need to be honest with ourselves this platform is flawed it has problems most of us have experienced some of these problems at some point that is why a new Switch is coming that is why a next generation Switch is coming to fix what is already wrong with the platform to make it have a longer shelf life with consumers it's not about competing with PlayStation 5 and Xbox 2 and we need to stop pretending that that's what Nintendo is trying to do how many times does Nintendo need to beat us over the head and tell us we're not competing with those platforms they literally created a hybrid platform that nothing else in the market can touch because nobody else is trying to do it that's what's so baffling here you might as well say the next Xbox is going to destroy VR and make all current VR irrelevant when that's probably not even the focus of the platform the point is PlayStation 5 and Xbox as far as I can tell they're not portable you can't take them anywhere that has nothing to do with replacing what the Nintendo Switch does any fear over that is just people fear mongering and being worried about their purchases or honestly it's probably just ammy mission for people who already were trashing on the Switch the whole time anyways and those kind of people who cares what they think let them enjoy the platforms they enjoy because they obviously must not be having that much fun if they have all this spare time to come over and trash the platform they don't enjoy and for those of you out there that are maybe hoping Nintendo goes back to two systems goes back to having a traditional home console because hey Switch Mini's coming out might not be dockable oh man does that mean that they should have a version of Switch that's only under your TV not going to happen I mean the latest the latest rumors out of Nikke says that the Switch is dockable so let me switch Mini's dockable so some of that's already being possibly debunked and on top of that why would they make a traditional home console to put under your TV why? Nintendo has openly publicly stated they have no interest competing with the other platforms that way it's almost as if people want Nintendo to stop being Nintendo so don't worry about it if you own a current Switch it'll be playing all the games for the next couple of years if you're holding out for Switch Pro you're going to be waiting in a while I know there's videos out there saying hey don't buy Switch right now because we might be going to Switch Pro or Switch Mini unless a miniaturized version of the system for Pokemon matters to you there's no reason to not buy a Switch right now go ahead pick it up we're not going to get the Pro this year guarantee it's not coming this year 2020 at the earliest and even then it's all it's going to be doing is yeah it might be more powerful of course but it's going to be trying to fix everything the Switch got wrong the first time around so it remains relevant in the marketplace it's the same reason we get new phones all the time most of the time when new phones come out they are not significant upgrades in that phone to make I mean heck how long have we been using the Snapdragon 45 like feels like three years right now we finally have the Snapdragon 55 and let me tell you with my Samsung Note 9 having touched the Samsung Galaxy 10 it really doesn't feel any different maybe a little snappier here or there the point I'm making here is phones keep doing these sort of upgrades to keep themselves more relevant in the marketplace that's all Switch is doing it's going to fix the flaws of the first it's probably going to be a little bit more powerful and that's great but that's great because that's the Switch staying relevant in its own marketplace it's not about staying relevant with PlayStation 5 anyways I'm Nathan and Robert Jansson from Nintendo Prime be sure to enter our Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros.

Now I gotta say something man, y'all gotta watch who you get your advice from and I don't mean this in even a negative way but there's a piece of advice that I'm seeing a lot more frequently lately and by lately I kinda mean maybe over the last four five maybe six months and I think artists have to be able to take it with a grain of salt. Here it is and I'm gonna put it into context. What is the advice? Singles are better to drop than albums or EPs. Now I understand where it's coming from we all know that in this era of music right singles are a huge driver of streams especially when we consider consumer behavior the way platforms are working yada yada yada yada yada I get it I get it I get it and people are telling a lot of artists that yo so you need to drop singles and one of the huge reasons I hear people talk about doing that is so you don't waste music and all those things but at the end of the day a lot of the people who are saying that are working for labels or have some experience with labels where a lot of the artists that they're working with are at labels and there's nothing wrong with that this advice is not incorrect advice however there's a lot of context that is required because an independent artist needs to move differently than a artist at a label that should be implied that should be assumed however we forget to consider what perspective a lot of people are coming from when they give their advice so let me just break it down from my personal perspective. Yes when we're talking about hacking algorithms getting the most out of one song just for your resources and doing things when it comes to the charts then pushing a single is extremely beneficial and there's some more reasons I can cite but those are just a few of them but when you're talking about an independent artist right I always talk about the value of time and the value of a tension so the thing is once you get people's attention we always talk about that catalog that that rule will never like not applies once you get people's attention you need to be able to hold that attention for as long as possible right you have that window of time to sell how are you going to convince them how are you going to close the deal how much music will they be able to consume before they say you know what you know this person isn't for me and if you only have a couple of songs we already know where that's going to go and for those of you who have seen me talk about the fact that you should drop singles and I do promote dropping singles as a strategy here's the clarity on what I'm referring to usually when I'm talking to artists and talking about hey you know you should drop some singles for a while it's always around the idea of them getting better at marketing themselves when I say focus on one song and now you're building your systems around that song you're building your experience and ability to market because a lot of these artists right independent artists are actually doing their own marketing so that gives you an opportunity to not just waste and it gives you the opportunity to learn so I'm talking more about marketing singles one at a time versus marketing a project at a time that's a slight difference but we do want to make sure that you're building a catalog relatively quickly in the more quality music that you have when one of these songs finally does take off the better off you will be now of course you might want to actually save some songs that you feel like should be hit hits because at the end of the day you want to make sure those get certain amount of attention but if you record a hundred songs you should have a solid you know let's just say 20 I'm gonna throw a number out there right you should have a solid 20 to 40 good songs that are worth putting out versus maybe the five songs or the two songs that you think might be huge songs and I'm gonna wait and hold these off right there should be other music that should be good enough to at least start building some fans and again bringing it back to the beginning in this whole idea of just dropping singles just dropping singles because it works better for the streaming era and all that kind of stuff that has nothing to do with the general artists the independent upcoming artists because they don't have the resources to actually leverage that thing right they don't have the resources or even the care to be thinking about charting or gaming the streaming system that's far less important to an artist what you need to be focusing on is building a real fan base especially if you want to move as an independent artist not just until you get a deal but move as an independent artist like forever right or for a very long period of time until you find something that makes sense you need to be thinking a lot more about what is going to get me the most fans for the least amount of action versus how do I game this system and get certain things popping virally so no it's not a lie it's not horrible advice and it's not even coming from a bad place when people say just drop singles but a lot of these people are thinking more so from a general industry perspective when you think from an indie perspective especially a lone indie artist perspective oftentimes a lot of things are counterintuitive to what those people have to move like at the labels to become successful they have a lot of factors that do not apply to you and vice versa so as always this video is brought to you by brandmannetwork.com because I saw myself if you liked this video go ahead and like button if you like it might as well share it and if you're not subscribed you know what to do hit that subscribe


My name is Dr. Holly Cattelfamel and I coordinate the Human Resources Management Graduate Certificate and the Bachelor of Business Administration Human Resources Degree Programs at Niagara College. I've been here about 14 years and I've been in a coordinator role for approximately 12 of those years and much of my time is spent working with my students to support them from a transition to employment. The broad strategy within the School of Business and Management and also specifically within the Human Resources Program is all about industry connections and as I said we're always looking for opportunities to involve industry not only in the classroom but external to the classroom. So it could involve course-based projects, it could involve having a guest speaker in like I did last night, we were able to have one of the best employment lawyers in the Niagara Peninsula come in and speak to over 40 HR students or it can be through preparing and coaching and mentoring students for their internship or co-op experiences. Several years ago now, I'm going to say about four years ago, I had the opportunity through our international department to connect with a Jamaican businessman and his name is Christopher Ramson who owns an import-export business and a manufacturing facility in Kingston and in the Montego Bay area and it occurred to me and my colleague in the international department, we're doing some really cool things in terms of course-based applied projects or course-based research projects, wouldn't it be a wonderful opportunity to connect with an international partner and through the connection with our international office I made a built relationship with the company Chassie Ramson Company and my desire was to give my students an international experience without necessarily having to leave the Niagara area. Christopher was extremely excited, he's the managing director, he was extremely excited about the opportunity to work with a Canadian institution and through lots of emails and conference calls back and forth, we decided that my students in the human resources program would design learning programs that would meet some of the gaps that he had within his organization. There is an instructional design process that we follow in training and development and one of the first steps is of course doing a needs assessment. So we were able to through Skype bring Christopher into the classroom, have the students conduct a needs assessment, identify various gaps within his organization and then over the course of the term students went off and designed learning modules with regular connections with the partner which is a very important part of the process, my role being the coach and the mentor making sure the students are on track. So that was the first project that I did and as we ended the term or towards the end of the term Christopher and I got to talking and we thought it would be wonderful if one of our HR students could actually go to Jamaica as part of their internship requirement which is a 300 hour internship and support the business to actually implement the course-based projects to move these training programs forward and we were both very enthusiastic about it and I put it out to the students and said hey, this is something that some of you might be interested in and with the support of our international department we were able to go through a recruitment process, the HR professionals so we want to make sure that we follow the process as appropriately and we identified individuals, we had two individuals that were to go down and actually work on implementing the process, supporting their HR programs and policies and procedures and it was an absolutely amazing experience for everybody. So the plan is to continue to work internationally with with project partners. I had had the experience prior to the Jamaica experience I was working with a group of Brazilian researchers in in various locations in Brazil on a research evaluation project and I had brought my students at that point to work on a project for our Brazilian partners as well as a course based project. We didn't we didn't have it was sort of in its infancy so I had done that before and I knew that it had great potential so after I had worked with Christopher and had such an amazing experience and the student had an amazing experience he actually referred me to another one of his colleagues another food company which is called Walkers Wood. They manufacture jerk sauces and chutneys and things like that and so we did it the following year with Christopher's also as a project partner but also with the Walkers Wood family and we did that for a couple of years so yes the intention for me is to continue wherever possible and as it fits with the curriculum to integrate not only course-based projects with internships but adding that international component because as as we know our our students are global citizens intercultural competency and the ability to relate effectively with people across the world will absolutely set them up for success when they become graduates. There's sort of two different pieces here the one assessment would be related to the project itself and it's it's a it's a big deal like it's a big project for four students so the assessment starts the day classes start if you will in terms of formulate formulating expectations linking the expectations with respect to the deliverables right back to the learning objectives and the vocational learning outcomes that are set forth in the course outline and making sure that they understand that at the end of this process it's extremely important for them to understand that they're working towards the ultimate goal of fulfilling these learning outcomes so when I say the assessment starts day one I think setting super clear expectations for not only the students but for the industry partners and for me as the as the coach and the mentor along the way. What I've integrated into the process is a staged approach to the project so a phase one phase two phase three where I'm able to do milestone checks that are part of the assessment mechanism so that I can see where they're at and give them direct concrete feedback like I said at three stages during the process and that has been invaluable in terms of catching people who are sort of going off the rails a little bit and bringing them back back on at the end of the experience. We have in general we have our industry partners participate in the culminating experience which is where the learning modules that the students are developing are shared with the industry partner. I have the students involved in the providing anecdotal assessment with respect to one another's projects so that they are able to learn that skill in terms of how they can provide feedback to one another in a safe and respectful environment and in terms of assessing the project as a whole it's not only the content piece of course the quality of the output is evaluated vis-a-vis the learning outcomes but also the team process is assessed throughout. Students are asked to conduct a reflective summary of the experience which is generally a one to two page summary with key questions about how the process has helped them to evolve as a professional.


Individualism, a reader, edited by George H. Smith and Marilyn Moore, narrated by James Foster. 10. Marriage of Lillian Harmon and Edwin C. Walker Moses Harmon The Pacific Reporter, Volume 13, March 10 to June 16, 1887. Moses Harmon, 1830 to 1910, transformed the small town of Valley Falls, Kansas, into a flashpoint of radical individualism. As the editor for thirty years of the Free Thought and Anarchist paper, Lucifer the Light Bearer, Harmon implemented an open-word policy that caused him to be harassed for many years by legal authorities. Moreover, though a man of fairly conventional personal ethics, Harmon and his circle advocated free love, by which they meant that sexual relationships should be a matter of personal choice and conscience, absolutely free from the coercive intervention of government. Harmon was imprisoned four times for violating obscenity laws. In his final conviction at age seventy-four, he was sentenced to hard labor, breaking rocks at Juliette Prison. Lillian Harmon, the daughter of Moses, worked with him on Lucifer, during which time she met and fell in love with another free-thinking anarchist, Edwin C. Walker. In September 1886, apparently as a test of the Kansas marriage statutes, Lillian and Edwin joined in a common law marriage without the involvement of either church or state. After the couple had been arrested and convicted, they appealed the verdict and lost. Imprisonment followed for both Lillian and Edwin. The following document is part of the court transcript from the appeal. It includes a verbatim account of the illegal marriage, as it was originally published in Lucifer. Appeal from Jefferson County E. C. Walker and Lillian Harmon were prosecuted in the District Court of Jefferson County for a violation of Section 12 of the Marriage Act, which reads as follows, that any persons living together as man and wife within this state without being married shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and, on conviction thereof, shall be fined in a sum of not less than five hundred dollars, nor more than one thousand dollars, or be imprisoned in the county jail not less than thirty days, nor more than three months. Compiled Laws, 1879, page 539 At the trial, which was had with a jury, Moses Harmon, the father of Lillian Harmon, testified that on September 19, 1886, his daughter Lillian and E. C. Walker entered into what he called an autonomistic marriage at his home in the presence of himself and two other persons. On that occasion a statement concerning the Compact or Union about to be entered into was read by the witnesses, then followed a statement made by E. C. Walker which was responded to by Lillian Harmon and the ceremony was terminated by another short statement from the witness. These statements were published in the Lucifer, a newspaper edited by the witness, and the account there given was read in evidence and is as follows. Autonomistic Marriage Practicalized While distinctly denying the right of any citizen or citizens, whether minority or majority, to inquire into our private affairs or to dictate to us as to the manner in which we shall discharge our private duties and obligations to each other, we wish it understood that we are not afraid nor ashamed to let the world know the nature of the civil compact entered into between Lillian Harmon and Edwin C. Walker at the home of the senior editor of Lucifer on Sunday, the 19th of September, 1886, of the Common Calendar. As our answer then to the many questions in regard thereto, we have reproduced as near as possible the aforesaid proceedings. 1. Moses Harmon, father of Lillian Harmon, one of the parties to this agreement or compact, read the following as a general statement of principles in regard to marriage. Marriage, by which term we mean the various attractions, sentiments, arrangements and interests, psychical, social, material involved in the sex relations of men and women is, or should be, distinctively a personal matter, a strictly private affair. There are, or should be, but two parties to this arrangement or compact. A man and a woman, or perhaps we should say a woman and a man, since the interests, the fate of woman is involved for wheel or woe in marriage to a far greater extent than is the fate or interests of man. Someone has said, marriage is for man only an episode while for woman it is the epic of her life. Hence it would seem right and proper that in all arrangements pertaining to marriage woman should have the first voice or control. Marriage looks to maternity, motherhood as its most important result or outcome, and as dame nature has placed the burden of maternity upon woman, it would seem that marriage should be emphatically and distinctively woman's work, woman's institution. It need not be said that this is not the common, the popular and especially the legal view of marriage. The very etymology itself of the word tells a very different story. Marriage is derived from the French word marie meaning the husband and never did the etymology of a word more truly indicate its popular and legal meaning than does the etymology of this one. Marriage, as enforced in so-called Christian lands as well as in most heathen countries, is preeminently man's affair, man's institution. Its origin, mythologic origin, declares that woman was made for man, not man for woman, not each for the other. History shows that man has ruled over woman as mythology declares he should do and the marriage laws themselves show that they were made by man for man's benefit, not for woman's. Marriage means or results in the family as an institution and the laws and customs pertaining thereto make man the head and autocrat of the family. When a woman marries she merges her individuality as a legal person into that of her husband even to the surrender of her name just as chattel slaves were required to take the name of their master. Against all such invasive laws and unjust discriminations we as autonomists hereby most solemnly protest. We most distinctly and positively reject, repudiate and abjure all such laws and regulations. And if we ever have acknowledged allegiance to these statute laws regulating marriage we hereby renounce and disclaim all such allegiance. To particularize and recapitulate, marriage being a strictly personal matter we deny the right of society in the form of church and state to regulate it or interfere with the individual man and woman in this relation. All such interference from our standpoint is regarded as an impertinence and worse than an impertinence. To acknowledge the right of the state to dictate to us in these matters is to acknowledge ourselves the children or minor wards of the state not capable of transacting our own business. We therefore most solemnly and earnestly repudiate, abjure and reject the authority, the rights and ceremonies of church and state in marriage as we reject the mummies of the church in the ceremony called baptism and at the bedside of the dying. The priest or other state official can no more prepare the contracting parties for the duties of marriage than he can prepare the dying for life in another world. In either case the preparation must be the work of the parties immediately concerned. We regard all such attempts at regulation on the part of the church and state as not only an impertinence, not only wrong in principle but disastrous to the last degree in practice. Here as everywhere else in the realm of personal rights and reciprocal duties we regard intelligent choice, untrampled voluntarism coupled with responsibility to natural law for our acts as the true and only basis of morality. As a matter of principle we are opposed to the making of promises on occasions like this. The promise to love and honour may become quite impossible of fulfilment and that from no fault of the party making such promise. The promise to love, honour and obey so long as both shall live commonly exacted of woman we regard as a highly immoral promise. It makes woman the inferior, the vassal of her husband and when from any cause love ceases to exist between the parties the promise binds her to do an immoral act that is it binds her to prostitute her sexhood at the command of an unloving and unlovable husband. For these and other reasons that will readily suggest themselves we as autonomists prefer not to make any promises of the kind usually made as part of marriage ceremonies. 2. E. C. Walker as one of the contracting parties made the following statement This is a time for clear frank statement. While regarding all public marital ceremonies as essentially and ineradically indelicate a pandering to the morbid, vicious and meddlesome element in human nature I consider this form the least objectionable. I abdicate in advance all the so-called marital rights with which this public acknowledgment of our relationship may invest in me. Lillian is and will continue to be as free to repulse any and all advances of mine as she has been here to for. In joining with me in this love and labor union she has not alienated a single natural right. She remains sovereign of herself as I of myself and we severally and together repudiate all powers legally conferred upon husbands and wives. In legal marriage woman surrenders herself to the law and to her husband and becomes a vassal. Here it is different, Lillian is now made free. In brief and in addition I cheerfully and distinctly recognize this woman's right to the control of her own person her right and duty to retain her own name her right to the possession of all property inherited earned or otherwise justly gained by her her equality with me in this co-partnership my responsibility to her as regards the care of offspring if any and her paramount right to the custody thereof should any unfortunate fate dissolve this union. And now friends a few words especially to you this holy private compact is here announced not because I recognize that you or society at large or the state have any right to inquire into or determine our relations to each other but simply as a guarantee to Lillian of my good faith towards her and to this I pledge my honor. 3. Lillian Harmon then responded as follows I do not care to say much actions speak more clearly than words often I enter into this union with Mr. Walker of my own free will and choice and I agree with the views of my father and of Mr. Walker as just expressed I make no promises that it may become impossible or immoral for me to fulfill but retain the right to act always as my conscience and best judgment shall dictate I retain also my full maiden name as I am sure it is my duty to do with this understanding I give to him my hand in token of my trust in him and of the fidelity to truth and honor of my intentions towards him then Mr. Harmon said as the father and natural guardian of Lillian Harmon I hereby give my consent to this union I do not give away the bride as I wish her to be always the owner of her person and to be free always to act according to her truest and purest impulses and as her highest judgment may dictate it was expressly admitted that no license for the marriage of the defendants had been obtained and that no marriage ceremony was performed by any judge justice of the peace or licensed preacher of the gospel and that neither of the defendants belonged to the society of friends or Quakers the proceedings mentioned were followed by the matrimonial cohabitation of the defendants upon this testimony the jury returned a verdict of guilty motions in arrest of judgment and for a new trial were filed and overruled and the judgment of the court was that the defendant E. C. Walker be confined in the county jail for a period of 75 days and the defendant Lillian Harmon for a period of 45 days and that the defendants pay the costs of the action and stand committed to the jail of the county until payment is made the defendants appealed this has been individualism a reader edited by George H.

Okay, guys, so one of the common questions I get every day is, Andy, how did you average 70 cars a month selling cars?  You're about to find out. Hey guys, all right, it's Andy. So what I'm going to teach today is a little secret niche, a hack that I haven't taught a lot of that's literally going to show you exactly how I sold 70 cars a month on average. Remember this, consistency is key. So sometimes I would sell 50 month, sometimes I sold 90 cars, but my average selling cars was 70 a month. Most importantly, there's two ways to make money. Always remember this, never forget this your entire life. Number one, right, sell more cars. This is crucial, okay? Number two, raise your gross, all right, master closer seminars. I teach how to raise your gross. That's my favorite thing in the world. That's where I strive. But how to sell more cars is crucial. A lot of you guys have unit pay plans tied to your income. If you sell more cars, you get more percentage of the gross. If you sell more cars, you get unit bonuses. If you sell more cars, you just plain out make more money anyways. You're going to go to work. Why not be busy selling more cars? So today I'm going to talk about the second half here of how to make more money, which is sell more cars. So when I did Craigslist back when I sold, and I know most of you guys think that Craigslist is dead, you're far from it. Look, let me explain this to you. Somebody will tell me that it doesn't work. I'll grab a car to their inventory and post it and sell it within one day. I do it every single time. I had a guy the other day. I bet him five cars in his inventory. I bet within three days I would have all five sold. We sold four and two and a half days. We didn't make the bet. The guy didn't keep his end. We quit. You know why? Because it works. But there's a secret niche to it. Now I want you to watch this full video so you'll completely understand it. Number one, it costs $5 to post on Craigslist. That is nothing. You can wipe your butt with that. I can equate that to a $500 commission every single time. Well, how do you do that? Andy, you say, well, guess what? Number one, you've got to know how to analyze your market. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm offering a Zoom meeting that we're only taking 200 people on. So if for some reason, if you look on the link below, you're going to see a little link. You'll click on it. You can join the Zoom meeting. I'm going to do it later this week. We're only taking 200 people and we're cutting it off. So if for some reason you try to click on it and you try to join the Zoom meeting and it says that it can't take you, you understand that it is completely full. If it takes it, boom, you're in. But I want to share this with you. This is what I'm going to teach during this Zoom meeting. Number one, I'm going to teach you how to analyze your market. So if your name is John and you work for Cowboy Dodge in Colorado, I can go to John at Cowboy Dodge in Colorado, take his website, run the market analysis tool that I have. It's free. I'm going to give it to you guys. I'm going to show you exactly what it is and how you learn exactly what sells in your area out of your inventory. We're going to do what? We're going to pick the right unit. Here's the crazy thing. Every single person, all 200 people that joined the Zoom meeting, I am going to pick the car for you. Yes, me, Andy Elliott. I'm going to pick your car that you're going to post. But I'm going to tell you exactly which piece we're going to post. Number two, I'm going to teach you A to Z, the ad copy, how to write your ad. This is crucial. If you have the right ad copy, your car will sell quick. But everything starts with picking the right unit that will sell in one day. All right, I'm going to teach you picture hacks. Picture hacks. These are important. How you take your vehicle and you post it on Craigslist is crucial.  When they do that, they will contact you every single time. So I'm going to teach you picture hacks. I'm going to teach you photo resolution.  So everybody will envision that car that we selected.  It's awesome. I'm going to show you how to fish. Let me explain to you what I mean by fishing. So imagine this.  You have one pole in the water. You've got a giant pond out there. You have the chance of catching a fish. What if you had 20 lines in the water? Dude, that is how I sold 70 cars a month. I was always creating leads from different types of buyers, because I know everybody's different. So I'm going to show you with the templates that I give you during this Zoom meeting. I'm physically going to send them to you. You can copy and paste these templates over and change out some of the words. Lift a truck, luxury SUV, basic car. You're going to have all these templates, and you just literally fill in the different words to the vehicle that we're posting, and it matches it perfectly. But that ad copy, it is going to fish 20 different ways to pull people in. It's amazing. It's the way I call it the cheat code, something that I never taught. I never show this. Nobody has these templates. I'm going to give them to you during the Zoom meeting. We've got 200 people. So make sure you click on the link below, join the Zoom meeting, and you'll receive an email when we're doing it. Also, text templates here. I'm going to give you the exact template because you're going to get massive text messages off the way that I teach you to do this. I'm going to show you the exact text template that I use, that I would send back to them, and change out two or three words, and boom. Every single time, it creates a phone call or an appointment. I'm going to give that to you during this Zoom meeting. And also, phone scripts that are deadly. And when I say deadly, I mean this. Obviously, setting appointments, getting them in is everything. Once you've got to fish on, you've got to reel it in. I'm going to teach you all of this. And how I'm going to show you this is that, look, you don't have to rely on fresh-ups.  I want you to go get every internet of BDC lead that you can get at your store. But I also want you to start building your own pipeline. If you don't start now, you're behind the eight ball. Guys, it's 2020. It's about speed. You can realize this. If you could sell an extra car a day, just one, that would be an extra 20 cars a month. Just take what you're doing now. And your investment would be $5 per post. But because you're spending money, you want to make good calculated risk. I can show you how to take that $500 and turn it into $500 every single time by the Zoom meeting. But for some reason, if you try to join and you cannot get in, just know that it's full. We may do another one in the future. I'm not sure. For some reason, if it gets in and it's full, you can shoot me a text message. I'll write it right here and I'll put on the screen below.<PHONE_NUMBER>, okay? We may end up doing another one. We're pretty close to book. We put it out on Facebook the other night.<PHONE_NUMBER>. But right now, stop what you're doing. Click the link below. Join the Craigslist Zoom meeting with me live where I'm gonna teach you physically the Craigslist hack, the niches, and the way that I sold 70 cars a month as a salesperson consistently for over seven years. I've been in the business for 23 years. I went straight to training and being a GM after that. But I'm telling you, this same niche, we're using it right now in 2020. And this is lead generation that you can do on your own and never have to worry about the fresh up again. Guys, have a great day. Get ready to crush it. Hey guys, number one, thank you so much for watching the entire video. You guys are awesome. I'm grateful for you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have my training program, so I thank you, I thank you, and I thank you. I got three things for you real quick. Number one, shoot me a text message. If I haven't met you, I would love to. My phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. Shoot me a text. I'd love to meet you. Secondly, go to Facebook. Join Andy Elliott Carsells Nation. That's Andy Elliott Carsells Nation, one of the best Facebook groups in the world, hands down for automotive sales training. And then lastly, we've got over 500 videos on YouTube, guys. Keep up the training, keep watching the videos, and crush it.


Chris Mary. So first thing I need is what is the game plan for every weight tonight? Are you bumping who's hurt like talk to me? Well win everyone. That's the game plan. So this is the question I've been wanting to ask you.   Talk about how easier it's been or maybe tougher it's been only being able to focus on coaching. I actually like it you know I just growing up being around it so much it was sometimes it would actually get me in trouble with my wrestling because I wouldn't shut up and worry about myself and you know I've just always had a passion for it. Helping others, watching them have success, learning from what I can preach or teach. So you know recruiting for me and our program was a big deal and I believe that we had the relationships and I you know we presented we could we could get things running and get people to buy in and invest in to you know us having what we need to win around here and obviously John Smith in our program that we could get anybody in the country and compete with any or compete with any team in the country with in recruiting. So you look at all the titles, hope on the stage one, look at all the titles, I was one. You kind of look at it on paper and be like everybody either wants to go to one or two you know and then Penn State comes along, they're shining new toy in the room. Talk about how the impact of social media and people being able to market themselves a little bit better. Has that made things easier for you to be able to weed out the guys you want or has it made it tougher for you to get the guys that you want? Oh I think it's made it tougher obviously but recruiting is always going to be tough. There's so many good kids now I think that you know a big thing is wrestling has gotten so much better in the high school level that there is no one guy that might is the best at each weight anymore really most of the time I mean there's about five or six guys that can beat each other all year long and I think wrestling's just got so good it's evened out so everybody's got a chance at them. You got to do your homework and you got to understand each kid but you'll only find those select few that are undefeated for four years in high school anymore.  We're growing and that's a good thing and that means you're going to have smaller programs competing with being able to compete in recruiting and maybe getting the better recruits sometimes not knowing it. Being such a technical guru that you are and and really I've never met Oklahoma State John Smith trained guy that isn't an unbelievable teacher unbelievable coach and I was talking to Coleman Scott on the podcast about it recently. What about that and he gets his perspective what about coming through that program and being a part of that and being around coach Smith you think that even the guys that weren't the greatest Oklahoma State wrestlers still seem to just know what they're doing and have a good grasp for it. I think it's just you know the demand that he has you know was struck with you know what do you what he expects out of us technically each match you know especially when he shows it you know if he's gonna show a move and he expects us to go out and work it and then you know if you come to Oklahoma State you should be able to execute the move in a drill quickly and be able to work and he demands that you know he demands us to improve technique and matches in and practice and he you know he uses it you know that's how he runs this program he demands skill to improve each week and he demands that you're gonna have to have it to win in Dan. What's Oklahoma State gotta do to get back to the top of podium team-wise? I think we're doing it you know we're doing a good job right now we have a young team we have five new faces in the lineup this year and we got some the number one recruiting class in the country coming in so we we have Dayton Fakes taking Olympic red shirt and Cade Brock you know still on our still average guys right still in the back force two so right now we got some good things happening got a three freshmen right now wrestling really well and the future is bright for us when we had these recruits in there.
