This is Think Tech Hawai'i. Community matters here. Okay, we're on. This is Think Tech. It's a two o'clock block. Business in Hawai'i, and I'm standing in as the host today. I'm Jay Fidel, and we have two guests. Tim Arnes, Arnes. Ames. Ames, sorry, my handwriting. And John Stranberg. Tim is the CTO of Hawai'i Tech Support with the Profit Corporation. Correct. And John Stranberg is the sales director of that same company. Correct. But the interesting thing is this is not necessarily limited to that company. It involves nonprofit products, services, computer management issues on a sort of parallel basis, related basis with an entity called non-profit tech. Yeah. Okay, so first tell me how you guys got involved in tech. What did you do for training? How did you get into the business, so to speak? You want to start, John? I have the easiest story. Back in 2000, I walked into a General Motors dealership with a laptop on my left hand. And within six months, I said, you're a new IT director because you own your laptop. But that was my start in tech and just kind of ballooned with it ever since. Okay. So you got a guy there that knew how to log into a computer. Pretty much. That made him the number one. Very important DJ. Okay. And Tim, how about you? Myself, I got started back when I was young in teenage years. So I got started with radio communications. Ham radio? Ham radio. I'm a ham radio operator. I graduated high school, went straight into the Marine Corps, did 10 years active duty Marine Corps, communications, technology. Learned a lot that way. Learned a lot more, probably quicker than I should have in times. And got out of the Marine Corps, was a DOD civilian, also working still with technology on some of the bigger Navy Marine Corps contracts. Retired from the Hawaii Army National Guard as a chief warrant officer. And just, I've just been doing technology. Great fun. Yeah. Great time to do it. And talking to my friends about this, you know, managed services is so important to people. And, you know, you can say we got all these products and everything lives on the cloud and everything, but you still have to make it work. You do. Yeah. A lot of people pull their hair out trying to make it work. So you helped them. We helped them. Because essentially you are a managed support, managed services organization Hawaii Tech support. Yeah. So we provide managed services for small, medium-sized businesses. That's our big wheelhouse right there is the folks that don't have an IT department or they may have an IT department, but they don't have the deep bench strength. So smaller companies. Right. You know, when you get up to about 50 folks, then you start having an IT dedicated IT staff. But, you know, that dedicated IT staff becomes more of a logistics position than anything else. And we help fill in the bench strengths for security, cloud computing. It's a big one. General strategy. General strategy. Yeah. Being that virtual CIO to take the vision of the organization and turn it into, you know, something that transforms IT from a cost center into something that helps with production. Well, you can make them or break them, really. I mean, you give them the secrets to the kingdom and then they find that they can be profitable where they would not be otherwise. Absolutely. Yeah. So you become critical for them. Right. We were having a conversation with actually a director of a national nonprofit, but the local branch here, and he was telling us when he was insurance, he was the one guy that learned how to do the sequel database. You know, that they had all their customers on and he learned how to do the secret sequel queries. This is back in the day. This is 20, 25 years ago. And that was his secret sauce, you know, just just being able to quickly generate reports. He would tell his customers, you know, yeah, I could, I could do that for you. Oh, it sounds really tough. And then he, he spit it out in a, you know, an hour and he delivered it to the customers. And that was their secret sauce. Yeah. That was pretty cool. It wouldn't work today. Yeah. Everybody knows a secret house. Yes. So, okay, how old are you? I mean, the company. The company is going to be 15 years and just turn 15, actually. Wow. Okay. 15, yeah. Now somewhere along the line, you got the idea that there are a lot of nonprofit products out there. You should have a sort of parallel company. Well, it started off because we started working with more and more nonprofits in the last five years. We support some of the larger nonprofits here in Hawaii now. And it's just, oh, they didn't hear about half the products that we're bringing into them. Like TechSoup, a couple of nonprofits we worked with from the beginning had never heard of it. So with TechSoup, you get reduced price for software, in a lot of cases, hardware as well. And they just never heard of it. And here we are showing them this manna from heaven because you get everything pennies on a dollar. Yeah. For instance, Microsoft products, two bucks. And the thing is for an ordinary nonprofit, smaller is probably more accentuated, for an ordinary nonprofit, you don't know. You have no idea. And if you said to somebody in the staff, go find out to me where the pennies are, where I can get special deals from organizations that support nonprofits. That's a major research effort. You'd have to go scouring the net all over the place to find out that stuff. But even then, what you find on the Internet is not true. Or it's not available in Hawaii. So here we are. We came in and said, let's go find how we can help. Because we support a lot of nonprofits from a business standpoint. And as individuals, we're both belonging to various boards and organizations are like, how can we help? And this became nonprofit. So this is why we're here today to discuss the nonprofit end of what you do. Yeah. And like John said, we identified a problem. And the problem wasn't that these nonprofits didn't have the resources available. It's one, they didn't know how to locate those resources. Or two, it's kind of like, there's a lot of organizations that will take old laptops and old computers, refurbish them, and then make them available to nonprofit organizations. But I kind of liken it to in some of the developing nations where they'll get hundreds of thousands of cast-off Super Bowl shirts because they were printed up for both teams. Well, one team didn't win the Super Bowl. So those shirts get shipped off. And now you've got an entire nation running around with old Super Bowl shirts, but they just don't know what to do with this stuff, right? Same thing with nonprofit companies.  How do you use it? What good is it? Is it causing more of a burden to the company to get this stuff? Then it's actually work. And so what we're trying to do is tell companies, you know, give us your business. Tell us what your business is. Let us align a strategy, an IT strategy that coincides with what you're trying to do as an organization. What's awesome about nonprofits is I don't care if I'm a huge supporter of the cause or what, everybody in nonprofits trying to help, right? So if we can give back and help them do their mission, hey, that's what it's all about. You know, we help them do it right. We help develop a strategy. And then we look at these cleaning houses like TechSoup. You know, we're a lot of non-profit, we're a lot of organizations like Microsoft, Amazon, CISL. They're giving things away. They're giving things away. And we say, look, here's all the stuff they're giving away. You don't need 90% of this, but the 10% you need is available. Here's how you get it. And here's how you don't waste your money. Even if it's just a little bit of money, you know, pennies on the dollar, you still don't want to waste it. You know, you have a mission or support or your time. Yeah, absolutely. So I mean, this is really a matching arrangement. You have to find out what they need. Yeah. Even if they don't know, you find out what they need. And then you find out what's available as freebies out there by organizations that like to give freebies to non-profits. And then you put them together. Yes. And now you have magic because nobody's wasted time and they have a much better system than they had a little while ago. Well, I'd like to examine though where this fits with you guys. In other words, you have two parts to the business. One is the regular managed services part, which doesn't necessarily involve non-profit companies or non-profit products. And then you have the non-profit organization. So how do you work with each other? So the two-headed kind of thing? You talk to each other and you talk to yourselves. Sometimes way too much. We talk to each other. But it's more of we see the need for the non-profits. So we have the non-profit arm to support, get them up and running, use the services that are available. But then the for-profit and we step in after, now that you have everything set up and in place, now you have to be concerned about cybersecurity, updated training, managing your actual systems that you have. So that's where the for-profit steps in and says, we can do all this or we marry you somebody else. When you get some kind of non-profit benefit or some kind of special arrangement, say for Microsoft, you don't get it for the profit company. You get it for the non-profit company. And am I right? And you pass it through to the other non-profits. When it comes to the non-profits up, we want to keep that very separate. We want to keep our governance and compliance on the up and up. We're not trying to create any conflict of interest. In Hawaii, it's unique because we started the non-profit foundation. We're also a for-profit managed service provider. We don't want to be the only person in the game helping out the non-profits in Hawaii. We would love for other managed service providers to get in contact with us and we're working on making that happen. We want to vet other service providers, whether they're one or two person shops or bigger entities like ourselves with 20 folks on staff that can provide 24-7 help desk support. We want to get other entities involved so that folks have a choice of who they use as a managed service provider. We also want to take this nationwide and eventually globally to where we're vetting the service providers and we're saying, look, deal through us. Let us refer you these folks because we've already checked your services out. We know you're up on the up and up. You're going to be around for a while. We're doing due diligence. But yeah, we don't want to be the only ones in game. The non-profits that we're talking about, the non-profit entity, is actually a non-profit corporation, right? Correct, yeah. We deal with not only you as Hawaii tech support, but other tech support companies in Hawaii. Am I right about that? Oh, for sure. Yeah, very much so. So if I drew it out, the non-profit would be in the middle of a lot of managed service organizations. Yeah, ideally that's where we want to be. Yeah, and we're just going to give advice to the non-profit organizations to say, look, we'll get you up and running for practically free. As close to free as you can, based on what you'll have to pay in the end, $16 for a Windows server license versus $1,200, for example. So there's a little cost on some of this stuff, but we'll get you up and running. How you keep up and running, you can hire an IT person, you can come to us or go through our referral program. So you're not really competing with the other? Well, you're not changing the model of competition. You'd be in the field of managed support services, so would other people. Yes. The only thing that's common is you have this non-profit organization which is really in a good place to find the non-profit benefits to share them. So my question before the break is, how is the non-profit entity compensated for its contribution to this formula? If an organization at MSP goes through the vetting process and they seem like a good fit and somebody that's going to support our non-profit communities, there will be a referral. We'd expect a referral fee to be in place to support the non-profit on NP technology because non-profits is not our only, it's not our only mission. In addition to that mission, we also want to support STEM education for our white youth. You guys are really very LMOs in there, common good, altruistic. Yeah, the funny thing is when we support STEM technology, we want to be able to build labs that kids can actually get into and just be regular IT folks doing their day to day. And we're going to build that in those places like Amazon Web Services in Microsoft Azure to give these kids a real-world experience of managing real services. So the way that non-profit is compensated because it needs to have some income in order to stay alive, any entity non-profit or a profit has to have some income to stay alive, whether it's a contribution, tax-free charitable contribution or otherwise. It sounds like to me, just from what you said, that it's a referral fee. It's a referral fee by the organization, whether it's you or somebody else, like Hawaii Tech Support, the managed service provider, is going to pay a referral fee back to the non-profit for its assistance in arranging these non-profit benefits. Correct. Yeah. Okay. I figure it's a win-win. Yeah. It's just one model. The other one is contributions from viewers like you. It's a referral fee. Which we will also do that. We would be starting out as well. Tim and I both have a lot of board experiences. We're good at asking for money. Grants are available out there for what we're going to be doing. And it's not just from a Hawaii grantor yourself. Okay. We did our due diligence and did some research. Okay. I want to take a break now, but when we come back, I'd like to get more specific about exactly what benefits are out there and exactly what kind of clientele are interested in those benefits. Perfect. We'll be right back. This is Think Tech Hawaii, raising public awareness. Compassionate and humane world for all of us. Welcome to Sister Power. I'm your host, Sharon Thomas Yarbrough, where we motivate, educate, empower, and inspire all women. We are live here every other Thursday at 4 p.m., and we welcome you to join us here at Sister Power. Aloha and thank you. Yeah. I'm thinking about what you guys were saying before and that's Tim Ames and John Strandberg of Hawaii Tech Support and also non-profit tech, too, related companies that do non-profits, non-profit benefits for non-profit companies. You know, non-profits are hard because, you know, you don't make it up in volume. You lose it in volume. Unless you have some kind of cash flow, you can't continue. And really, there are some sad stories out there about very high-minded non-profits that went out of business. And I think that one of the threads about that phenomenon here in Hawaii is that they never got their administrative act together. They weren't able to write a letter. You know, you got to write a letter. You got to keep files. You got to be able to communicate with, you know, your organizational components. And if you can't do that, you're not going to succeed either as a profit or a non-profit. As you said in the break shot, non-profits are businesses, too.  It's like running a business, exactly. It's going to be a non-profit business. So you guys are enabling, you know, elementary organizations to actually continue in business. This is a great gift to them and to the community because, by definition, they're helping the community. There's a lot of volunteers out there. This is a great contribution as a community, you know, effort. So I guess my question is, you alluded to this earlier. What kinds of products and benefits are available that this hypothetical small non-profit doesn't know about, which it could use? Just, you don't have to give away the secrets. Oh, I don't mind. No, this is why I'm here. I want to give away the secrets. I want folks to know about it. Now, the challenge isn't so much as what's available. It's almost like what's not available in the technologies sector that technology companies don't offer. So Adobe is a good example. Adobe Creative Cloud with the, you know, the Photoshop and all that can be quite expensive. Very powerful, important program. Very powerful, very important. This subscription model makes it very expensive. It does.  How much? $5 a year. For one seat. For one seat. Oh, one seat that can handle up to two concurrent questions. We have to talk after the show. That's a good example. Another great example is web services. So every organization is going to have a website now with some kind of landing page with the donate button, you know, especially around the holiday seasons because this is the big drive. This is the big push for nonprofits to get their message out there. People are in the giving mode. It's also end of year. Slicing, contribution, doing fundraising. And get that last charitable contribution in before the tax season ends. Well, how do you get the message out there? Google offers $120,000 a year in matching ads credits. Okay, so what that means is you're able to get your message out there. Amazon Web Services offers $2,000 a year in free web hosting. Azure, Microsoft Azure does something similar, about $3,500 a year. And Microsoft has also made it their mission to bring on board. I believe they said 8,000 new nonprofits in this model, right? Because they want that. They want that. They want to become what Google and Amazon are, you know, to nonprofits. And I think that's a very important message. So when you use these cloud, when you leverage these cloud credits and you're able to host somebody's website for free, you know, if you're able to host somebody's desktop environment for free, a remote desktop environment. What's the catch? Whenever something sounds too good to be true, you have to look carefully. Well, the catch is it's usually these multi-billion dollar organizations that are doing this. So you're not going to find a lot of the one-off software companies that do very specialized stuff. You're not going to often find them doing charitable donations. So there may be some software out there or some specialized hardware that you just can't get through this, these types of programs. The other catch is, like I say, it's going to be dumped on your desk.  How do you set it up? How do you make it work? So it sounds to me like one of the golden rule here is you really can't take advantage of these opportunities in any, you know, coordinated, cohesive way unless you have a managed service provider of some kind who helps you find them and also helps you use them.  Think of it this way, it's like having a carpenter with a box of tools that doesn't use those tools. You have them all. You carry around with you. Yeah. But until you actually use that hammer and that saw, it's carried around with you. You've got that in your belt. Yeah. So this is really important to have this connection. Right. So do you ever refer clients to other managed service providers so you let them find their own? How does that work? You're in a kind of galaxy of managed service providers. Well, as Hawaii tech support, there's certain things that we do not do. So we don't, for example, we don't do website development. We partner with other, we have partners to send those referrals to and for no cost. We just, we like the work that some of these folks do. We refer them on that basis. There's some other things that we don't do because, you know, how it is, IT is very specialized and to be very good at something, you have to not focus on other things. So yeah, there's cases where that would happen. There's other, for example, if somebody comes to us from California, we're going to have a difficult time supporting them remotely if there's the need for somebody to be on site. Not say it can't happen through the use of smart hands, but we prefer that they make a partnership or a relationship with a local provider in that area. And that's where we come in to say, let's look at your strategy. Let's look at what you need to survive as a, as an organization, as a nonprofit organization. And let's find the, let's find that provider. So you, that's very nice of you to do that. Yeah, so you're full service in a way. So I was going to ask you, John, about who are the people, the companies, the nonprofits, essentially, that you're serving? What is the landscape about nonprofits out now? What are they doing? How are they doing? What kinds of activities are they engaging in? Who's the market you're appealing to? Right now we're, as a company, we're appealing to like that mid-level market where it's, they're at, they're beyond a startup as a nonprofit because nonprofits grow through a life cycle. There's the national companies, then there's the local nonprofits, but these are more of the, getting to be the mature stage. And they're realizing, oh, the technology we received 15 years ago is still being used, and we're not keeping up. So we're engaging those types of nonprofits. Because they don't, they don't have the inside expertise. Right, so they, You can bring that to them. So usually what happens is, you start off with five person office, a volunteer comes in, has all the expertise, sets them up 10 years ago. And a lot of these nonprofits are still operating at 10 year mode. The computers are still there. I came across one recently where they're still running Windows XP because that's what was set up for them and they never changed. It just continued to work. And their, their model is very set in stone because they've never adapted to the new technologies. Well, that's, that's true because when you get in there and you consult and when you offer them these benefits, especially when they're stuck in something, you know, they, they're using old technology, they haven't really stepped up. You're going to change the way they do business. Absolutely. It's not just computers, it's everything, isn't it? It's to the point where I've come across a lot of nonprofits where they're operating as if it's early 2000. And technologies leapfrogged them by decades almost. And they're just starting to come through and go, we need to actually move our emails off of this free stuff from Yahoo or whatever it was back in the day. Someone used Hotmail as their primary email or a business one. That scared me. Yeah. And if I, if I'm clicking, if I'm clicking on a link that's going to donate money to JoshMo at Hotmail.com, I'm going to, you know, I'm going to think twice about whether, you know, continue your savvy donor. That's what we want them. Big issue for these companies. Big. It is. And I'm sure you find a lot of them that are not handling it very well. And Jay, what would you say if I said that if a 25 or less, you know, 25 person or less office should not be paying anything for their email? And that includes having a professional domain name.  So that when I'm thinking of this person, I'm thinking of the, the nonprofit technology and that fits into their, their strategy. So nonprofits are a brand if they don't brand themselves online properly, they're going to lose donors. They're going to lose volunteers. Yeah. So without the proper branding that we can support them with, they could fail. And we don't want to see nonprofits fail. No, it's bad for everybody. It is. And you want to encourage them. We should all encourage them. One other thing is, you know, so nonprofits always looking for money, always trying to find fundraising. I can tell you about that. What, what is your favorite kind of computer software to do that? Managing fundraising. So I'm, I'm pretty, we're, we're very vendor agnostic, but a lot of folks have had success going straight with things like Razor's Edge. That's a pretty popular line.  So if you're actually incorporating all this, it's really sky's limit on what you want to do as far. Biggest thing though is getting that, you know, getting that donate button on your website. Or, you know, making sure that when you send out the emails that you're able to point them to a landing page like ours, for example, nptechnology.org. It's a, it's, it's set up using a, you know, our nonprofit subscription and it's set up as a landing page using all free stuff, but it's, it's well done. You know, it's, it's using WordPress. It's using all the latest stuff. And if a nonprofit could just get to that point where they could just have a donate button, I think that's fine. Now the CRM, the customer relationship management, that, that's a whole, you know, that, that's a whole. There's lots of companies out there do that.  You put a nonprofit in, in contact with, you know, Microsoft say it's going to offer them a CRM or whatever kind of software at a good rate or for free. It's, it doesn't end there though. That's what I wanted to ask you. It doesn't end there because a lot, a lot of these small companies, it won't end there for them. They, they're going to have a, they're going to, it's like the guppy swallowing the whale. They got to, they got to be taught. They got to be trained. All their people have to be taught and trained. They have to build, renew their whole operation around the new software. It's definitely a culture shift with a lot of nonprofits. So are you going to participate in that? We actually, we're going to go down there and show them the way. We facilitate change and show them this is how things are being done today based on these technologies. This is how it correlates back to what you've been doing. And this is the steps you get there. We can't change culture. We can't change people overnight, but enough interaction will get us to that point. Yeah. And let me talk about our secondary mission as NP technology. Our secondary mission on, you know, in addition to helping the nonprofits with their technology needs is to train our next generation of technologists. So Non-profit and otherwise. Non-profit and otherwise. But you know, it's folks like us that, you know, are doing this full time as technology experts that have the time or the wherewithal to go help the nonprofits in a very quick and effective fashion. If we can train up the next level of folks to do that, get to the high schools, get to the colleges, make sure that they have the wherewithal to provide services, then as they become successful, as we, you know, as they can intern with these nonprofits to support them or, you know, and they become successful in their own careers, they can go back and help them. Oh, this is very noble and very important. It's actually, you know, I'm giving a talk in the next few weeks about this very subject. Oh, great. So we have to talk some more. So as a company, every chance we get to help with a STEM project at a school, we're there. Yeah. A couple eight weeks out, we're out there. It's about making people literate, making kids literate. So, okay. Have we covered the future? Because if not, then I have to ask you my last question. What's in the future for you guys? What do you see? You can give me the keys to the kingdom now. What are you planning to do? Well, we want to go from, we want to get a really good base of supported Hawaii non-profits. And then we want to take this nationally and then eventually globally because it doesn't, you know, Hawaii's great. Hawaii has a lot of non-profit needs. As you go across the nation, across the world, the needs shift, but the needs are always there. There's always a need for folks to help each other out. So that's where we want to get to. It's a great model for other MSPs like us to follow or assist in a non-profit as their own community. Great. We want to start that here and have it just grow with all the spirit as we are. And it'll always be relevant.  Technology's not going away. No, not going away. It's getting more complicated. Non-profits aren't going away. Freebies, big companies, and people who need training, they're not going away. In fact, they're growing. In fact, in other continents, who knows where they are growing as we speak. Yeah, and I really feel like there's this big surge over the last decade or so, especially as the younger kids, what we refer to as millennials, but we'll refer to them as people that are grown up with the idea that it's good to help people. And so as these people are getting into the workforce and they're starting their own organizations, I want to make sure that the helpers are getting the help that they need. Tim Ames, Sean Strandberg. Thank you. Thank you very much, you guys. Thank you. All the best on this great venture. Terrific. Bye-bye.

Here we go indeed, great start from Patrick Dudek and Piotr Pavlitski. And it is Piotr Pavlitski who's the early leader here. Now Dudek's gonna wind it on, Patrick Dudek watching go wide here. And now Jason Doyle charges through, Doyle comes in to second. But the lead is with Piotr Pavlitski and Dudek isn't done yet. Yanovski's in the back. Brilliant start from Pavlitski, Dudek, Dudek is the better of Doyle. And Doyle makes half a mistake and Dudek's ready to bounce. Pavlitski looking fabulous out in crash. Doyle is showing up. Oh, well done, Piotr Pavlitski. Piotr Pavlitski, probably a punch, you can't believe it, think it is.


Navy films or fleet operations during the Okinawa campaign. Okinawa, there was a hundred thousand enemy waiting there. The army landed at 10th Army, plus two Marine divisions were probably equal to have a manpower. One moment, please. One, two, three, four. No enemy bases. This is the field in Honolulu, Hawaii. We have witnessed this morning the soft pearl harbor, and they severe bombing our Pearl Harbor by enemy planes, and out of the Japanese, the city of Honolulu has also been attacked. There was great excitement and no fear, none of them expressed fear that I ever saw. And the Kamikazis came, most of them, prior to the actual landing of the Marines at Okinawa. They were trying to prevent the feet from coming there. There was a lot of them. We were trained for three things, actually. We'll destroy and survive, and we were given a means to do that. Growing up in high school, I loved history. It was always like a story that just played out in my mind of just the adventures and the battles that were going on. It was almost like as if I could see it in my head. Then hearing his stories, I was able to kind of put it in with what I remember, and it just blew my mind of, wow, this person was actually there. He definitely asks me about how training is going, or there's any exercises that I'm doing, field exercises, what kind of weapons I'm training on, and he loves hearing about that stuff. I love the Army as much as I did the Corps. I'm very proud of Matt here being in the military. I'm almost 96. I hung around for one reason, in case I'm needed again. That's how much I loved it.


It's Hopalong Cassidy With action and suspense out of the Old West comes the most famous hero of them all Hopalong Cassidy starring William Boyd The ring of the silver spurs heralds the most amazing man ever to ride the prairies of the early West Hopalong Cassidy This famous hero thrills his 60 million fans with action and dangerous adventure In the role of Hopalong Cassidy is the popular star of the motion picture series William Boyd and Appear in as that laughable old character, California is Andy Clyde Now to our story the failure No question about it Branch Patterson was a spellbinding a quiet crafty man for three years out of every four When an election year came around he blossomed out slap folks on the back became the good good friend of every citizen of Shotwell So right now in this good year of 1886 branches in his glory as usual on the speaker's platform among the red white and blue Bunton Letting the people know as only branch can I like to call him honest like I But I'm not through no sir not by long sight I Have here a letter from old Evan Hardin our beloved sheriff who's retired from office after so many years of good service to this community As you all know old Evans taking it easy back in the big city, New York. He says here Dear branch, I want you to know I'm getting along fine. The weather has been fine these past two weeks And I'm happy myself a good rest Reason I'm writing is to congratulate you and the rest of the folks in Shotwell on your choice of Ike Iverson is my successor There ain't a man in Shotwell can fill my boots better than I And I wish him all the luck in the world signed Evan K. Hart I can't add much to that But I think you all know by now that a vote for honest Ike Iverson is a vote for law and order in Shotwell County Now I think that steers about done to a turn and there's plenty of roasted corn and free drink for all Now he puts on a nice show Sure does happy Once every four years. Mm-hmm. I wonder now if it was worth the ride. I'm an awful long ways from the bar 20 Yeah By the way, where's California? Oh, I left him behind to run things for me This election is kind of a personal thing with me anyway But what can we do? That's a good question. Oh Don't mean to butt in I just saw you sitting here and I figured there must be three of us around to see through that for flusher Yeah, and we won't count much in an election. I'm a hop along Cassidy and this is Janie Malloy How do you do? Janie runs the newspaper here in Shotwell. My name's Ted. I have a ranch over Dakota way on the little Missouri Oh, I had one. What do you mean? I just sold it. I guess I'm a failure at ranching, too Wait a minute. Don't get me wrong. I'm not giving up 28, you know got a few good years left in well I should think so I thought I'd drop by here before I take the train back east get a look at Western politics in action I'm a little disappointed. You mean it's different back there. No, it's the same Give people a good time a free barbecue promise them the moon and get yourself elected Say, yeah, who's running against honest Ike well It just might be a very fine upstanding young man named Bill Dixon who also happens to be Janie's fiance He's luckier in love than he is in politics. Thank you, sir So what are you gonna do sit around and let this barbecue or run off with the election? Branch Patterson owns this town from one end of Main Street to the other and it should be a delightful battle Delightful, huh? I've already decided to let my trip east wait for a while Mr. Patterson comes first. We must defeat him Good you just tell us how it did you tell me this How did Patterson get along with mr. Harden the former sheriff not at all? Harden was the only man in town. He couldn't control. What about the letter Ted sound right to you Yeah, there's a chink in mr. Patterson's armor. I'm afraid According to the letter mr. Harden is comfortably retired in New York Delighted with the weather there Well according to a friend who just wrote to me It's been raining cats and dogs there for a solid month Which means of course that mr. Harden isn't in New York or any place near it and if he isn't there Where is he? A man from the east a man who calls himself a failure has sparked hoppy's curiosity about the common election for sheriff of Shotwell County and the letter from Evan Harden the outgoing sheriff supposedly written from New York It's late at night after the barbecue that hoppy walks through the star saloon to branch Patterson's office Hello, how are you? Hello Hello, Frank. Well hop along Cassidy. Why you old vomit. I haven't seen you for years Yeah, have cigar no, thanks, French. Yeah, what brought you to shot? Well hoppy. Maybe I come to get a free dinner And maybe it's just that I'm curious about you and old Evan Harden What about me and Evan Harden last I heard you two were at each other's throats Seems the sheriff office was the only thing in town you couldn't control. Oh me and Evan had an understanding finally he Mellowed as he got older must have mellowed off of fast Here's the bar 20 a few months ago and told me we've got to get your hide. All right. I said he changed a lot Maybe so by the way work Bert Bert for an holiday used to be your number one assistant Oh, we're just going to Colorado. Yeah, it's gonna open up a new place for me there I see Yeah Well Cassidy, I want to rush you off and I've got a lot of work to clear up here. Nice sure Oh just one other thing Mind if I take a look at that letter from Evan or any particular reason.  I see Well, I don't want to open the safe now, but he's living at the Hudson View Hotel there on the 65th Street Thanks, French that ought to do it Cassidy, yeah, when you write to him send him our love will you sure Hello Oh, there you are Well, any luck? I don't know Paterson says he's living at the Hudson View Hotel. I know the place on 65th. Come on Let's get down to the telegraph office and this message going to New York. Yeah here. I'll read it to you Mr. Joseph Alderwood six eight four Park Avenue, New York City Urgent you wire description of man residing Hudson View Hotel under name of Evan K. Harden Tire Pinkerton operative if necessary. Oh, here's my name. I'm staying here at the Golden. Oh I know it hoppy, but you can't win an election on suspicion. What about that then? It's all they had against boss tweed to begin with you You don't know this town branch Patterson owns it but voters are behind him to a man We had our branch Patterson's in New York State. We got rid of them And I don't think voters out here any difference. Well, what do you want me to do get up and tell them branch Patterson is a cook But I think the letter from Harden's a forgery Bill by the time we're through you'll be able to tell him more than that like what? We don't think Evan Harden's alive Huh? What are you talking about? We got an idea branch kill him and fake that trip to New York Hey, that's pretty strong stuff. Can you prove it? We're gonna try How do you feel about running now? Sure, I'll run You give me the ammunition. Okay, it might take some digging, but we'll get it No, mr. Cassidy, I thought you'd gone up to bed. Sorry miss Anderson. I didn't mean to start with I just ain't used to having rumors round again. Sure. It's only been a month or so since Sheriff Harden. What are you please? Don't talk about Sheriff Harden I miss him much. I he was a roomier for a long time 20 years. Yeah Wonder why he suddenly decided he'd like it better in New York I ain't a mind reader mr. Cassidy, and I'm running a room in-house knocked an information bureau kind of jumpy, aren't you? I ain't jumpy. Okay, miss Anderson. I don't want to upset you It's just that I might have found the bowl Evan Harden too.  I know Did you see him off? What do you mean tonight? He left town. Did you help him pack or anything? I didn't see him till around midnight when he was about to leave his horse was saddled outside waiting Remember what he had on now see here mr. Cassidy. You can't I'm just testing your memory miss Anderson He had on a salt and pepper soup to black Stetson red dye and pan high heel boots And that's all the talking I intend to do about Sheriff Harden. Sorry. I guess I'm just naturally nosy My dear nice channel you guys here looks new Did must have cost a piece of money. I just come into a legacy. Yeah That's what I thought Yeah, I'm sorry, mr. Cassidy. I didn't get the question I just ask if you knew Evan Harden Sheriff Harden sure sure I knew Evan Oh, I still know him. I reckon that is if I ever see him again Well, you want duty here at the station the night he took the trainees. Yeah. Yeah took number 68 I remember old Evan rolling up in that book board of his come up and shook my hand and they was tears in his eyes Hated to leave shot. Well after 20 years. Yeah, I guess he did Do you remember what he was wearing? Sure a salt and pepper suit black Stetson red tie and tan high heel boots He is sitting going close. I reckon. Hmm to the strike you a strange Haven't pulling out for the east after all these years not strange Sensible just what I'm gonna do next week. Oh gonna leave this burg and head east myself Time I started taking life easy. Yeah, you must have saved your money. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. I saved my money I like What's the latest we've tailed Cassidy day and night for a week now even asking questions all over town look branch I'm getting uneasy about that up.  I hope you were right Yeah, have a cigar right? Yeah Like That's better You're my boy. I you're gonna win this election and you're gonna stay right in my pocket where you belong We'll do big things together here in Shotwell County Now you leave Cassidy to me run out and slap a few more backs After all like you're the town hero, aren't you? The people's choice Happy it's you. Hello, Bill Janie dad Hop along Cassidy private investigating. Well, how'd you come up? I'm a horse from asking questions and I've got so a feet that I got a lot of answers to Harden left the rooming house at 1130 took the creek road to the station got there at the midnight or so the stories go Witnesses. That's the funny part. There are two That's the Anderson at the rooming house and the picket agent at the station. No one else. No one Nothing wrong with that but late at night only must have passed the Peters place on the way Mark was Harden's best friend around here, and he was up all that night with a phone there Why didn't hard to stop him to say goodbye? And here's another thing Ted. Yeah, I guess you better tell them. What's the matter? What's eating all of you afraid we made a slight error happy, huh? Wire came today Read it Tim. Yeah See here. It says them checked Evan K. Harden about 65 gray hair six feet 180 pounds black dyed moustache brown eyes scar on left cheek smokes cornpob Hope this is sufficient. Joseph Alderwood And it satisfy you happy Yeah, it sure does it's Harding's description to a team that satisfies me that there's another guy in Patterson's bought That gang I hadn't figured on who's that the telegraph operator that wire never left his office You ran up the Patterson's office with it and let him figure out the answer. You know, maybe he's right sure I'm right the landlady and the picket agent were bought and paid for I can see the money in their eyes Both of them had the same description of Harden on the night he left word for word Can you remember what genie war 30 days ago bill? Can you? well No, hoppy, but you can't and another thing according to their stories Harden left the boarding house at 11 30 on a horseback and pulled up the station 45 minutes later driving a buckboard by George Hoppy bully for you. What? Where do we go from here Ted? Can you leave for New York tonight? Hate to rush off, but I suppose I can good. You've got a job to do back there. What do you mean better? Get comfortable. I want to get things straight before Ted goes because of it comes off Yeah, Patterson will go up for the murder of Evan Harden, and you'll be sheriff of Shotwell County It's late at night and eastbound number 68 is puffing up the grade a few miles out of Shotwell Taught a pair of riders waiting in the shadows near the track Well, here she kind of test right on time not as convenient taking her on the fly this way We couldn't risk having you seen leaving for the east still think we're taking a chance Everything's a gamble in this country a lot will depend on you though. I can take care of that My George has done me a lot of good watching you fellas work. Don't feel like a failure anymore I don't believe you ever did matter of fact. There are a couple of pieces of unfinished business in the east I think I'll tackle while I'm back give it the old Cassidy treat You forget about can't get around that way Got it Remember to ship my baggage coming up my fast break so long, Mr. Mr. Mr. See what was that fella's last name? Hello branch. Well Cassidy I'm kind of late for a sass perilla drinker. Aren't you had an errand run? Yeah Offhand I can't think of anything. I like to do less than eat crow branch But sometimes it has to be done. Well, I'm a willing listener. I made some cracks. I'm sorry for I want to apologize Really? Yeah, I may as well lay it on the line branch. I thought Evan Harden was dead I thought that letter you read at the barbecue was a phony Yes, I'm just naturally not a trusting soul So I sent a wire to New York and got my ears pinned back Harden's living at the Hudson view all right fit as a fiddle Why are you telling me all this Cassidy because I might have done you some damage asking questions around town at all I Had a good reason of course what reason to miss Anderson You knew I was staying at her rooming house What about miss Anderson first night? I stayed there She woke me up walking down the hallway in her sleep talking a mile a minute about Evan Harden being murdered Ah said so yeah Seems to me. She mentioned your name a couple of times. I couldn't quite make it out Anyway, that's what started me off on the wrong foot. Is she she say anything else? Well, she did it almost every night for a week did an awful lot of talking Said she was afraid someone was gonna kill her because she knew too much Long about then I realized she was crazy Mm-hmm that all well toward the last she got pretty wild Said murder had been committed in her house and she was an avenging angel Well, that was last night just before she took off Took off. Yeah, haven't you heard? What miss Anderson ran off early this morning. Nobody knows where she went Well, anyway, I wanted you to know the whole story branch Hear anybody spreading gossip around about you. Just send them to me and I'll straighten them out Yeah Sure, thanks. Good night branch nice I can yeah, what is it old lady Anderson's gone crazy run off somewhere crazy. What do you know?

Does it well that dame running around the hills for a week now offer nuts screaming that we killed him, okay?  Would you know that wouldn't be smart You'd have me shot out in the hills somewhere and bribe yourself a few witnesses Give me that Okay, what is it Willis look why I just came in down to the telegraph office lucky. I was on duty instead of the release. What is it? That's from New York holiday Hester Anderson arrived here went to authorities told them where harden lives Pinkerton should arrive shot. Well tomorrow Holiday where harden lives. I couldn't say more in a wire She told him where we put the body and the mine shaft at Connors bluff What are we gonna do branch? We better get out of here. No, no, that's no good They can't get us if they can't find Harden's body group. He's dead. You mean that yeah Come on.

From Korea to Germany, from Alaska to Puerto Rico. All over the world, the United States Army is on the alert to defend our country, you, the American people, against aggression. This is the big picture, an official television report to the nation from the United States Army. Now, to show you part of the big picture, here is Captain Carl Zimmerman. Every soldier overseas today, regardless of rank or assignment, serves as an ambassador for his country. Yes, he represents you and his country. It is every word is every action. Your army is well aware of this, and that's why a special school has been established to teach officers and enlisted men the language and the customs of the country to which they will be assigned. We take you now to this most unusual but highly important military installation. The Army Language School at the Procedure of Monterey in California. Monterey, California. Most people know it as a quiet and colorful harbor, a beautiful place with fishing boats at work. A place where local fishermen carry on their traditions of their Sicilian forefathers. But there are soldiers here too, rather unusual soldiers. Lao Rui, today's weather is very good. What do you want to do? I want to go up there and see my friends. Please go with me, okay? Okay. I want to cook. Let's go eat first. Six months ago, the only language these young men knew was everyday American. Now they speak very good Chinese. Across the way are more soldiers, American soldiers who are reading Pravda, and who speak Russian. This is the place in this room, Pravda. They just finished the front door. What's in it? Yes, everything is the same. Do you know what Pravda is? There is no news about it. There is no news about Pravda, right? Well, it's pretty true from me. What did you find in the car? A very good article. In this town you may see an army private reading. No, not the baseball scores, but a Persian magazine. These unusual soldiers are training in the weapon of words, foreign words. They are soldier students in the Army's School of 24 Tons, the Army Language School. Commanding this important installation, which produces one of our newest weapons, is Colonel D.W. Hickey, who has explained the mission of the school in terms of America's world responsibilities. As the defense of our country becomes linked with that of many foreign nations, it is our duty to achieve a closer understanding of these countries so that we can work together in harmony and mutual trust. If we are to understand these people of foreign countries, we must first understand their language. To do this, we need an army of linguists. Like this American officer now in Europe, instructing NATO soldiers in the use of our modern weapons. Or this Air Force Sergeant, who now speaks Italian fluently, and is equating them to the Italian Air Force with our aircraft engines. The mission of the Army Language School is to give training to armed forces personnel so that they may act as translators, interpreters, and interrogators in any one of the countries linked with our defense. Heading the school's big staff of language specialists is the academic dean of the school, Dr. Lee Hamilton and his assistant, Mr. A. Koski. These men shape the training programs of the school, and from thousands of applications select the experts who teach our soldier students their new languages. Teachers come here from many backgrounds and professions. Many are women. This one, an expert in Mandarin Chinese, is a Mongolian princess and the daughter of a general in the Chinese Nationalist Army. Now she teaches American soldiers her strange tongue. Typical of the teachers at the school is this former artillery officer in the Russian Imperial Army. He knows communism well. For ten years he was held prisoner in a Russian concentration camp. Now he is a teacher in the Russian division. Poets, actors, engineers, priests. From many backgrounds come these unusual teachers. They all have one thing in common.  The students at the school come from all parts of the country and from all ranks in the Army and Air Force. They come to study one of the twenty-four different languages taught at the school. Languages ranging from the familiar French in German to the more exotic Mandarin Chinese and Arabic. The students backgrounds are as different as the languages they come to learn. Soldiers, farm boys, college graduates, they range in age from seventeen to fifty but here they meet on common ground. Here you'll find a colonel from West Point in the same class with a private who never finished high school. Ahead of them is a tough long term of training. Korean and most other courses at the school take forty-six weeks to complete. On their first day new students are welcomed by the executive officer Lieutenant Colonel Robert J. De Maers and are told what lies before them. For the next forty-six weeks you'll be learning the Korean language and when you leave here you will speak Korean. Our teaching methods have been developed to a point where any normally intelligent person who works hard will be able to learn a foreign language in the time allocated. First you will learn the new sounds and speech patterns. Then you will go over them and over them and repeat them and repeat them until you know them by heart. Then you will learn sentences. After that you will practice the language conversationally. Then comes reading and writing. Now on the part of the school's commandant I wish you good luck. As for myself, my recommendation is relax but work hard. I will now turn you over to Mr. Soom who will teach you Korean for the first hour. Mr. Soom, will you take over now? Hello. How do you do? I'm glad to meet you. I realize most of you are not familiar with Korean characters. This will give you some idea of how the language is written. Translated it means Army, Language, School, Monterey, California, Korean Language Department. You will write like that before very long. But your main task is to speak and understand Korean. Now if you will open your books we will learn how to pronounce the vowels and consonants. This is how the Korean vowels sound. E, A, R, O, U. They are similar to English sounds. Now repeat after me. E, E, E, E, E. In the first few weeks of instruction the students get used to the new sounds of the foreign language. But at the end of the first day they are speaking simple words and phrases. Hello. How do you do? Hello. How do you do? Hello. How do you do? Hello. How do you do? Let's ask some questions. Let's ask some questions. Again please. For at least three hours every night students must continue to study. Photographs are issued to them and recorded lessons help the student to master the unusual sounds. By constant repetition, memorization and intensive oral drills the students absorb the new language. This is the same class after six months instruction. As the months go by and the course gets tougher, some students flunk out. Classes are held small in number to ensure individual instruction. Teachers are changed every hour to ensure a variety of accents. For eleven months the studying never lets up. After learning to speak the students must learn how to write. Hour after hour they copy unfamiliar characters and memorize them. There are thousands of symbols and characters to be learned and study does not let up for the entire 46 week course. But those who come through and the majority do can speak like natives. I will first go to Washington and go to Korea next year. When will you go to Korea? But even when they know the language students must still practice it conversationally every day. Inventing conversations, questioning and perfecting their accent. What are you going to do? I want to join the class. That's great. Then... Many training aids are used at the school and one of the most successful is teaching by cartoon. Cartoons depict certain situations and students must reenact the action, inventing their own dialogue as they go along. Here a Russian class acts out a sick call situation under the watchful eye of their teacher. Now. Now. Now. I can't see anything. You are in the office. Sit down. Sit down. What happened to me? Did you break your leg? No. Unfortunately you broke your leg. You will have to stay in the hospital for a long time. In the military hospital? Who will operate me? Doctor, my head is spinning. By stimulating the students' imaginative power and forcing him to speak conversationally, the cartoon method of teaching builds confidence and familiarity with the new language. Sand tables are used so that the soldier linguists can become familiar with everyday objects and sights. Major, will you please start by pointing out the buildings to your left? Yes, please. This is the Güterbahnhof. The Güterbahnhof. And here is the Stadtbahnhof. Please, Mr. Major. This is a water container. What is the small house at the end here? That's the small house at the end of the fort. No. Soon these students might be in a German village and they'll be perfectly at home. Everyday for six hours the training goes on whatever the language. These linguists must know their new language perfectly. They must know the slang expressions and the colloquialisms. They must be able to be completely at home in that country just as if it was their own backyard. Training in how to interrogate this part of the language course and these Russian students speaking of perfect Russian make believe they are questioning a partisan about the enemy's location and strength. Where is the ammunition dump? How many troops are there? Where is the radio station? Where is the radio station? The radio station is here. It protects the approach to the camp from the old railway and the highway. You don't know where it is? Do you live in the enemy's radio station? Yes, I know. It is located in the worst part of the war. When these men graduate from the Army Language School, they'll be equipped to handle any military assignment in the language they studied. That's right. Yes, that's right. To absorb local customs and further their knowledge, students read foreign newspapers and magazines. On Fridays, the school echoes to the sound of singing voices like these, for singing is another part of the training. To sing is to talk friendship, says Colonel Hickey, the school commandant, and students like these in the Bulgarian class sing the marching songs of a distant land. Furthering their studies of foreign folklore and custom, students attend international picnics. Here they join in the strange dances of countries far away. Getting as close as they can to the language they have studied for the past year, the advanced students wear the colorful native costumes and learn to play their new role easily. Students in the Russian classes take part in a Russian party and join in the traditional festivities of old Russia. A classroom learning must go on right up to graduation. Now fluent in a foreign language, students must listen to lectures on the history of the country and its racial characteristics and customs. They must cram into their heads military and technical terminology so that they can meet requirements of the armed services. Military symbols and signs must be learned all over again. The day is not too far off when these men might be teaching Persian soldiers. For years language training behind them, the students of the Army Language School go out to serve their country. In Europe and all over the world, they'll be at work interpreting, interrogating and translating, smoothing the course of understanding. Now in the field, like this interpreter accompanying a group of NATO observers, graduates put in the practical work for which they have trained so long. Today we are combining our efforts with the work of other nations to build a strong defense against those who might threaten our freedoms. The Mutual Security Agency designed to equip and train armed forces in the free world brought officers of foreign countries to army installations in the United States. Fort Benning, Georgia, the home of the infantry, plays host to many of these foreign soldiers. The Army Language School is represented here too. Army personnel at Fort Benning speak the language of their guests. When you consider that officers from 32 countries visit this installation, you can readily see the important contribution made here by the language school. These men get to know each other quickly. With mutual respect, they live together and work together. When you are thousands of miles from your homeland and you find someone who can speak your language, you no longer feel ill at ease. They hear this officer proudly tell them about Fort Benning and they find themselves looking forward to the weeks ahead. This is the beginning of their stay in the United States. They'll register here at the headquarters building and soon will become familiar with our army and our country. There's enough linguistic ability here to take care of everybody. Throwing out these documents, gentlemen. If there are any questions, just raise your hands and one of our officers will assist you. Yes, sir. Outfitted in army fatigues, they're ready to go to work. Like most army courses, this one starts off with an orientation lecture. Having men of many nationalities in one class makes everyone realize that more and more people who believe in a decent way of life are ready to defend that way of life. Perhaps the most interesting part of the course is an exciting demonstration of our weapons. These men from far off lands learn that, unlike the communist practice of throwing mass groups of men into battle, our army relies on firepower and thereby saves lives in combat. This firepower is aptly demonstrated for them in this display. Firepower to mobility. A visit to the airborne school at Benning, and these men learn how a modern army can quickly deploy large bodies of men and equipment and have them in fighting trim. Short jumps here, but this is only the beginning. Here for the first time, trainees get the feeling of falling through space. Still not the real thing, but plenty of action just the same. These are thrills in anybody's language. Each exercise is an introduction to the next. Several towers here allow a large number of trainees to get their practice before they jump from a plane. These facilities can quickly be expanded to handle an even larger group of men if the need arises. Our foreign visitors find this an ideal training program. Equipment is excellent, instruction is thorough, and most important of all, it is carried out as though life's dependent on it, which is a matter of fact it does. They wonder what it feels like falling to the earth under that big nylon umbrella, and they soon have a chance to find out. Any volunteers? Yes, one Danish, one Dutch, going up. There's time for the lighter side too, like visiting the homes of families in nearby Columbus, Georgia. Meeting in this informal setting gives everyone a chance to relax, to get to know each other better. This is welcome recreation, but our respect pleasantly in this manner are again an important part in strengthening our relationships with other countries. Not only is our army today the most modern, but it is also an army that recognizes its responsibilities. If we are to help train and equip other nations, we must understand the people of those nations. In creating this important understanding, the army linguists play an important part. Across the world, they are speaking and understanding. Stretching to the tents of Panmunjom and the truce talks. Again, armed forces interpreters are at work, bridging the gap of differences. Ambassadors in uniform. Soldiers armed with a powerful weapon. The weapon of words. Men and women of your army are stationed in countries all over the world. And a school such as this can contribute much, not only in training for possible military action, but in helping our troops convey an understanding of our way of life. It makes the job of building a worldwide defense much easier. Now some graduates of the Army Language School have been placed in important assignments with civil assistance. And that's our subject for next week. We'll take you to Korea and show you how our civil assistance program is functioning there. How your army is helping the Koreans help themselves. This is Captain Carl Zimmerman inviting you to be with us then. The big picture is a weekly television report to the nation on the activities of the army at home and overseas, produced by the Signal Corps Photographic Center, presented by the U.S. Army in cooperation with this station. You can be an important part of the big picture. You can proudly serve with the best equipped, the best trained, the best fighting team in the world today, the United States Army.


Hi there, George Kau here. I want to tell you about my coaching program that begins again next week. It's called Joyful Productivity, and it's my favorite topic to discuss and help clients with. The skills in the program are so essential for entrepreneurial success and done in a way that supports well-being. I actually recommend all of my clients go through the Joyful Productivity set of skills first. That's the first thing that I recommend everyone do, because it's the foundation that allows everything else we do to be more effective and more successful, efficient, etc. So I just want to share with you a couple of topics that we're going to be working through in the program. See if you're interested. If so, then consider joining us. So, calendar. How well do you organize your calendar and follow your well-structured calendar? It's not that we have to, one of the common ways people do calendar design is like it's some kind of like taskmaster and it's your boss. No, your calendar is not your boss.   So in the program, I not only show you my calendar, but I also give you a planning tool that I developed for creating a more well-structured solopreneur calendar. In other words, I recommend specific things to do to allow a solopreneur business to be successful and approximately how much time for each thing and how to prioritize the different actions and areas of developing and growing a solopreneur business. So if you're interested in that kind of prioritization and getting my coaching about that, then this program will be will be quite good for you. We also, of course, talk a lot about how to be consistent in following through with your priorities. You'll probably notice I'm very consistent in showing up for my content and creating offers. I'm always creating new things and launching them and I think facilitating them pretty well. And I take sabbatical weeks about every six to eight weeks. I take one week off of doing any content, any calls. So there's more spaciousness. So this is the kind of rhythm that I do and that I recommend to to my clients as well. We also are going to talk about how to organize knowledge so that you have a framework, a structure with which to capture all of the information that comes at you in any given day, sort out what's important and to take the important and directed towards the deliverables for your audience. So decluttering and organizing knowledge is something that I've been practiced very well for the last 13 years as a full-time coach to solopreneurs. And I should mention, if you don't know my background, 13 years. I started in 2009 and I, you know, by 2010, I was already making a full-time income. If it matters to you, I've been making six figure income since 2010 every single year and doing it even without an assistant. I mean, in the early years I had an assistant here and there, but these days I just have a few freelancers for certain projects here and there, but I really am a solopreneur business and I know how to run one and I've coached thousands of solopreneurs by this point. I also walk you through my process of how do I do a morning review as well as an end-of-day review so that I can set up my day with a lot of more holistic and well-being intention, how I look at my calendar and tasks and bring a more I don't know how to say other than loving and joyful energy to it so that I can work through my day with a lot more joy and effectiveness than I think Unfortunately, a lot of entrepreneurs haven't gotten that skill down and I think it's extremely important and then end-of-day review is also very important How do I close out my day? Clear my email inbox and tasks so that I feel complete so that I can really rest every night and not have to think about work and you know So I this is the kind of these are the kind of skills that I think we all need to continually get better at So I myself review these skills every single year when I run the program again, and I get better at it every time I review it and it gets it makes me more effective and joyful as a result. So if you are interested the link is georgecow.com TLC you should be able to if you're watching this on Instagram You should be able to swipe up when I add the link later You should be able to swipe up and get there, but it's georgecow.com Slash TLC my last name is called KAO. All right. Get make sure you get that right georgecow.com slash TLC and If you have any questions go ahead and comment below I should let you know how much access you have to me in The program it's first of all it is I think it's quite affordable for a group coaching program check it out Let me know what you think about the price. It's quite affordable I'm not saying the price because it does change over the years and I want you to go and see what the current price is But it's quite affordable. You are in this community of kindred spirits other service heart-based service providers who are highly dedicated to their professional growth and to collaborating with each other and You get four live Q&A calls with me every single month and I add more Live Q&A calls with me and coaching calls with me as there are questions that can't be answered in those calls I just add more of them. So You get plenty of time You get plenty of you know access to me to answer questions in the live call But also in a private forum. We use a private course platform that I have We also have an optional private Facebook group for those of you who would like that There's also a supportive Accountability structure within the program. It's optional, but you can get paired up with one or two other members in the program to keep each other lovingly supported and accountable and that's facilitated the connections are facilitated there and Anyway, I think that's all I'm going to say for now if you have any questions about this This is my favorite program coaching program to facilitate and it's also by the way The first program that I recommend if you are thinking of working with me in a longer-term format like I have a client group that is always The spaces are always filled Several months before it starts. It's called Master Heart And if you want to work with me in that kind of high-intensity program where you get tons of access to me This program the Georgia productivity one is really the one that I recommend starting with so Thank you so much for watching and considering this and if you have any questions, let me know below Take care


Shovelling, snow days and erratic public transportation. The past three weeks have been challenging to say the least. As students try staying motivated indoors, professors try staying ahead by holding classes remotely. It's a good alternative way of doing this, you know, of making up the class that way of macing the snowstorm day, but I still want to have class with my professor in France, facing face. But problems are far from solved. This student walked miles to the state house, only to be met with disappointment. They didn't put up like, announcement or notice on the website, it's just, you had to go there to find out all the meetings were cancelled. While people found ways to work from the comfort of their homes and some establishments remained shut completely, others like this other service station behind me say they remained open throughout the storms. As Fred, the manager of this establishment tells me that business has been good for them this winter. Yeah, lots of batteries, transmission related repairs, brake repairs, people like to really do some abuse in the winter. Consistently busy, but when there's extreme climate changes, it makes us more pleasant. With more snow expected this weekend, it's going to be a while before the sun comes out. For BU News Service, I'm Nikita Sampath.
