Hands up, who likes a meeting? Now teachers spend a significant proportion of their time in meetings, which is a huge workload problem. But what if these meetings are not as productive as we think? Now I think when I was a deputy I'd teach us 16 hours a week in meetings, excessive meetings can lead to increased stress and decreased focus. Research from Microsoft shows that back-to-back meetings with breaks increase stress levels and reduce engagement. I'll talk about this graphic in a moment. When leaders implement short, regular breaks into their training sessions and into appraisal or line management meetings, the approach mirrors this research from Microsoft labs, which also mirrors effective classroom practice, allowing students in particular periods of reflection and also some time to process information. Shorter meetings are more efficient and those that have breaks can lead to better focus, productivity and engagement benefit in teachers and students. This top line here represents no breaks between various meetings and also producing more anxiety and stress. If we consider the cost of longer meetings and the impact on teacher well-being, what detrimental value are they having to recruitment and retention in your school? If we experiment with shorter sessions and regular short breaks in between the longer period of meeting time, your productivity and results improve. You can thank me later if you do this approach. I already do it in my teacher training. If you want to read a little bit more information, read the blog Teachers, Take a Brain Break and you can thank me later.


Thank you for letting us join you from Minnesota and like Andy said, we don't have anything growing here. We're working in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, and Becker, Minnesota mostly. This is the fourth year of our breeding program, so we're up to looking at the clones we started looking at four years ago for yield for the first time, which is pretty exciting for us. So we're able to grow them at our trial location and we're able to grow them in multiple replicates. So up until this point, we've mainly looked at quality traits and skin color traits and specific gravity and that sort of thing, and now we're really getting a sense of yield which we're excited about. We have about 55 clones in our field year four. We're also looking at our field year three in single replicates in the same trial in Becker and we've got about 154 clones there. We work in four market classes. We work with russets and chips and reds and to a lesser extent yellows. And one of the things we're really trying to do is speed up the breeding process so that we can respond more quickly to environmental changes or to changes in what consumers are interested in. And one of the ways we can do this is with mathematical models and that's called genomic selection and we basically use genetic data and data about traits that are important to us to build models so that we can just use genetic data to predict how individuals will do, especially as parents, and we can shorten the time between the first time we look at a clone and when it becomes a parent or when it gets released. And one of the ways we're doing that is we're working closely with the other breeding programs in the U.S. So we've exchanged our year four with Susie and with Dave Duchess at Michigan State and with Jeff Endelman at University of Wisconsin and the four of us are all growing out these mixed field year three field year four trials and we've all genotyped them and we're all collecting the same phenotype data so not only will we get a sense of how the clones do in multiple environments earlier than we would in say the national trials usually but also we're able to use each other's data then to build these models and speed up the process and so this is the first year we've really got that working at scale and so we're excited about that as well. Another thing we're doing with our field year four which is the first time we can do things because we have enough seed so we have them growing at a couple of different nitrogen rates and we are hoping to screen early for nitrogen use-efficient varieties so varieties that might require less nitrogen and my postdoc Dr. Xiaoshi Meng is taking the lead on this project and next year we'll be flying them with drones in an attempt to figure out if we can determine nitrogen status and nitrogen efficiency from those drones. We also have things all the way up the pipeline we have about 26,000 single hills at Grand Rapids again in all four market classes that we will look at this year and we have about 400 field year twos also at Grand Rapids. Other things we are working on and interested in we're looking at how different harvest times and mine kill dates and how long we leave them in the ground afterwards affects dormancy and how that interacts with variety and my breeding specialist Dr. Thomas Stefaniak is taking the lead on that and that is a collaboration with Dr. Muneve Doga Marci our new pathologist and we're looking at how timing of nitrogen application interacts with variety for some of our later stage red clones and that is also a thing Dr. Stefaniak is working on. We are still interested in developing diploid potatoes we grew some out for the first time this year and we grew them as transplants from tissue culture so they're not beautiful but they're flowering and producing tubers so they look like potatoes we're excited about that and another thing we are working on is we have a bunch of legacy varieties left from Dr. Christian Thill who is the previous breeder and we when I started in the program we had these varieties but they've been grown in the same field in Becker for five years in a row so they had a pretty high disease load and so we finally brought them all through antiviral tissue culture and we're able to observe them in the field this year and get a sense of which ones are potential releases of which ones are promising varieties we're particularly interested in a couple that we've heard from people at events like this that they really enjoyed eating specifically we've got a yellow 04844 and a purple 07112 that we have heard are particularly delicious and interesting potential specialty varieties and we are working with an organic grower to do organic trials for those and also have a tasting event to try to get some people interested in it around the Twin Cities so because we have those we've heard about and also MN13142 which is a really high dormancy nice tight b russet that looked great for Susie last year I think we think that this material we have left over from Christian is probably really promising we just haven't gotten a chance to look at it yet so we're excited about doing that as well


Ms. Maryam Matau, a 56 year old teacher from Tanzania, met me around 3 weeks back at my outpatient clinic with increasing complaints of both knee pain for the past 6 years. The pain initially started in the right knee and then progressed to involve the left knee a couple of years later. At first she had difficulty only in doing activities like climbing stairs and walking long distances but later it involved to such an extent and progress that she found it difficult to even stand and do her teaching job for long times without pain. So doctors back home had advised her that she needed knee surgery and that's why she came over here. When I came to Manipur hospital I met Dr. Sunur Kin who investigated after a long discussion and after the review of the x-ray which they took he clearly advised me the proper medication that was a major operation for knee replacement. So I did x-rays to find out that she had what we call as advanced arthritis of both the knees. This was largely arthritis due to wear and tear and this has progressed to such an extent what we call as grade 4 or bone on bone appearance. So I advised her that the only treatment at this stage to give her pain-free mobility would be what we call as a total knee replacement surgery and these are surgeries which work very well and give extreme satisfaction to the patient and with the modern day joints that we have bearings we have they usually last easily more than a couple of decades. I agreed out of my own conscience and I underwent that operation it was very painful but with the assistance of my doctors the nurses physiotherapists I made it. The surgery went well that's a post-op x-rays which shows the satisfactory alignment and component positioning. Patient walked immediately the next day after surgery with the help of a walker and after three weeks she was doing extremely well and the physiotherapy is going on. I have a very good physiotherapist, Auma who works with me hand in hand, there is hope once again that since within this very short time I've managed to start walking then I believe in a couple of months I'll be back in my normal walking and without pain as I used to be. Knee replacements are usually advocated for advanced arthritis or grade 4 arthritis what we call for due to any cause and they give good satisfaction rates and outcomes and last for more than a couple of decades. So we at Manipal Hospital routinely carry out these kind of primary and revision joint replacement surgeries.


Online dating tips for women. Hi, this is Helena Hart from commitmentconnection.com and in this video I wanted to give you some tips if you're online dating and really looking to attract a high quality masculine energy men. This is something I'm getting asked about more and more lately. You know, I met my husband online and the majority of my clients are meeting their boyfriends and husbands online now. I've seen a switch in recent years. I'd say more are meeting them online than just in real life. And a lot of people, you know, don't wanna try online dating for just a variety of reasons, but it really doesn't have the same stigma that it used to. And it just seems to be what everyone's doing and how people are meeting each other because we're all so busy and if you don't wanna date someone at work and you're not in school anymore, you know, or if you don't wanna just meet guys at bars and hope they're single and good men looking for a relationship, online dating is sort of what everyone seems to be doing. And, you know, I had success with it. So many of my clients are just having so much success with it. So I would definitely give it a shot and it's all about the way you approach it that will either have you attracting the high quality men or attracting the kind of men that you would never wanna meet in real life. So the first tip I wanna give you to attract high quality men online is your profile. You know, you want to stay in your feminine energy when you are even writing your profile and putting up pictures. That means using feminine energy language. So I would say have two paragraphs in general. You know, different sites have different ways of doing this, but if it's a site where, you know, they want you to write a couple paragraphs about yourself. Have the first paragraph be all about yourself and the second paragraph be all about what you're looking for in a partner.  So rather than saying the typical thing, like, oh, I like to hang out with my friends and I like to travel, you know, that's in every profile, most likely for men and women. So to attract those masculine energy men, talk about how it feels when you're traveling or how it feels when you're spending time with friends and family. That will actually make you stand out a little more from all the other profiles. And the next thing is your pictures. Pictures are extremely important when it comes to attracting the right kind of men. And one thing I see in pictures that's sort of missing from a lot of women that I work with is color.  So if you have some color, especially in your main profile picture, it's really going to make you stand out. The next thing I would say about online dating pictures is, you know, you want to show your character through your pictures because, you know, the truth is men are probably not going to read every single word in your profile, just like you may not do that as well in the men's profiles. So instead of talking about all the things you like to do in your profile, it is important to put some feminine energy language in there because of course, a lot of men do read the profiles, but show them what you like in your pictures. If you like to be outdoors, let's say you like hiking or rock climbing, having some pictures of you doing those things will really tell that story and make you stand out from some of the other profiles which are just likely the standard pictures that everyone has. And the last part about your pictures I'd like to say is character, really showing who you are, showing some personality in your pictures. And you don't have to have 20 pictures. You know, I would say just a handful, maybe four or five pictures is enough. Have a really clear one of your face, definitely have a full body shot in there and the rest you can kind of use your discretion. So I hope that was helpful in terms of your profile. Now in terms of how to do this online dating thing, there's so much that goes into it, but for the purposes of this video, let me give you a couple more tips. So you definitely wanna be in your feminine energy when you're online dating. That's what's going to attract masculine energy men. So rather than going out and searching for a bunch of men and emailing 50 different men every day, that can lead to a lot of burnout. It's very sort of forward-leaning masculine energy. So I would just spend your time writing a great profile, putting up some fantastic pictures of yourself and then leaning back energetically and seeing who shows up. You know, seeing what kind of men are picking up on your vibe and responding to you. That is really valuable information for you to have. So see who's picking up on what you're putting out there and then just respond to the men who show up in your inbox rather than you going out and being the initiator when it comes to online dating. Of course, it's fine to experiment a little bit, but in my experience and in the experiences of my clients, when you're the one to do all the initiating in online dating, it typically doesn't materialize. You know, you really wanna attract the kind of man who's going to show up and pursue you and move the potential relationship along all on his own rather than you being the one to constantly have to do that because that will show up later. I can pretty much guarantee you really want a masculine energy man who is capable of doing relationship and being the masculine partner when it comes to dating. So I hope that was helpful for you. We should definitely talk some more about online dating in future videos. So let me know if you have any questions about this and I hope to talk with you again soon. Thanks for watching. And if you'd like to discover exactly what to say and do to get the man and relationship you've always wanted, click the button on the right side of this video to visit our website and I will talk to you soon.


Good morning and welcome for the third and last day of Fresh Web Radio Live. We are in Paris, it is 10 past 10 local time, Friday, 22nd of September and you are listening to the live stream of fresh, fresh, the international event for the development of contemporary circus and outdoor arts. Outdoor, yes, we are almost outdoor today. Under the rainy sky of Paris, we are at La Pelouse Royie, which is located in the eastern part of Paris, still in Paris, but close to the Bois de Vincennes, where you might know there is a new zoo that was renovated a few years ago, a very beautiful place. But here we are also under a very beautiful top, top blue circus, a big top, the top of the village de cirque where there is a festival, circus festival actually these days until Sunday. My name is Olavinha, I'm a French journalist and be your guide on this exclusive web radio station streaming live in this third morning session of Fresh for you to be able to listen to it all around the world and to make it possible with me, Clément from Making Wave Association and to stream it all around the world. We have the help of all around. Today on live you will be able to follow, to the discussion, morning talks, artistic talk, round table and additional small interview. We realize with the partners of Fresh, they are coming to join us, we are in a small angle, we find a place to be with you and to make you able to listen to what is going on today. You can hear the crowd coming in this kind of noisy place, each place as you can hear as a specific sound. We were first in La Villette, in the theater, yesterday we were to a wooden top place and today we are in a kind of very light tissue, kind of plastic classical circus place, which is maybe let's say 30 meters diameter. Today, while the people are entering into the place, I want to tell you a little bit about the schedule and the program we will listen to very soon. The topic, as you know, it's always different every day, the first day it was safe, yesterday it, no sorry, making a mistake, the first day it was about care, to care, yesterday it was about safe and today a very interesting topic, sustainability and it will start so with a keynote, keynote made by Eric Le Noir with a landscape designer, he will talk about sustainability and he will join us at the radio place to talk a little bit more about it. Then after this first intervention, you will have an artistic talk led by two artists that will, we don't really know what they will say but we are very surprised, it is Maria Baranos, Kate Lieberman and Andrea Salustri. After this artistic talk I'll be happy to have on the radio an artist that will talk about a new place, a new circus place here in Paris, it's called Rue Wat and we will listen to the way he did already different performance in this new urban place in Paris and then it will finish with a big round table involving five panelists, always, always about this topic of sustainability and we might leave each other after all this, it will be around one o'clock and as you know you can follow us on Circo Strada.org, Circo Strada, the network of contemporary circus and outdoor art, it's more than 300 members, more than 40 countries here in Paris, we are almost 300 people talking, gathering, going to see performances in the afternoon, discovering places in Paris and around Paris. You know, you will be able also to follow to this recording through podcasts that will be made after the event and also the publication but I can see people going towards the stage, the main stage here in Pelouse, Roye, Village de Cirque, let's listen a little bit to the crowd, maybe meeting people while we are waiting for to start to begin. Hello? Hello, where are you from? Brooklyn, yeah. Can you come with me? We're going to talk with, coming from Brooklyn? United States. What are you doing? I'm here on behalf of the non-profit Thomas Dot, so I'll be taking part in a session at 3 p.m. today, so discussing work visas for artists who'd like to come and perform in the U.S. And it's quite difficult to get in the U.S.? It is very difficult, so I'm going to be debunking some sort of pervasive myths and just sort of talking about like the bureaucratic procedure of it all and the costs associated as well. Okay, and what is your advice? My advice? Yeah, to get the visa to get to the States. How about my head, start is early, can you start again? Starting the process as early as possible would be like my number one tip because it can be quite long, months even, so. What's your name again? My name is Shelley Pinker and I'm with Thomas Dot.  Thomas Dot. Okay, it's a big one? It's pretty small actually. There's only, I think we have about three employees right now, so it's quite small, but. And who is helping you to get the money to be able to have your foundation? How do you work? We have a national endowment for the arts grant that we work with, so. And we take donations as well from those who are interested. I guess it started. Thank you. To you from Bochlin. My English is really, it's a sleepy English, so I'll be fast. Okay, so my name is Marie Chapoulier and I have the pleasure to work at the direction of Cooperative De Rue de Cirque with Rémi Bovis, with the founder, founder, the founder. Thank you. Really, we are really pleased to see you here, ladies, gentlemen, and others at Village de Cirque. Village de Cirque is a festival who supports circus creation on the big top, of course, and outdoor circus. It's one of, it's a part of activity of Cooperative De Rue de Cirque. Today it's a little rainy. We are really sorry, but we hope that the rain is going away soon, and we hope that you will have a really interesting and pleasant time here under our big top, and this afternoon at Ruat, at the Montfort, and at Le Poinson. Thank you so much to you, and now you can say it in French, perhaps, Rémi. So we're going to have a great day. The rain will stop. And this morning we're here, and this afternoon we'll be in three different spots. What? Outside and inside? What is the place for creation that we opened exactly one year ago? I'd like to add one thing, which is important to us in De Rue de Cirque. We're a member of Cirque Australia for years now, and we try to develop support for artists across all disciplines in public spaces, and also in the big top to defend minorities, to defend shows that are produced in difficult conditions that give voice to people that we don't hear from anymore, and we do include a very diversified programming for all kinds of audiences for everyone, and our programming is really based on that. It's important for us to be here, and that there's so many of you here today and yesterday, 40 countries represented, over 300 people participating, I think that today, when expression is threatened, artistic expression, and the freedom of expression is suffering in many of your countries, in many regions of France as well. There are collectivities, government, local government that is taking steps they would never have dared take before, and I think it's important for us to come together in all the languages we can to defend minorities, and this freedom of expression that's so important to all of us. I wish you a wonderful morning, and I look forward to seeing you later, work well. Organize those three days, incredible three days, and Arsena, thank you so much to them. Bye. Thank you. Thank you. If somebody was sleeping, it's the end. Thank you so much, Marie-Andrémy, for this introduction. I'm just going to take a few moments to say that I'm very happy to see how many of you still stayed on Friday. I know it's tiring, and it's rainy, but the rain will stop. Also, what I wanted to say is that I was super, I feel super lucky and privileged to have been part of so many conversations during these two days on care, on safety, and today on sustainability, but there is really one conversation that really was fascinating last night that I want to share with you, is the one on chickpeas, and if chickpeas should be cooked or not. And it's really a good conversation, because when you talk about care and safety, and really chickpeas become the priority of your professional life. So I was really happy for you to have this conversation last night. I hope this is one of the best takeaways from this fresh event, and really, thank you so much for this. Where do our priorities are? Anyways, this comes from a place of love, of course. So today we are super lucky to have with us Eric Le Noir. Eric Le Noir is a landscape designer, he's here with us. He's going to give us a keynote around 20 minutes in French. So if you don't have your headset, go get it there now, or in the next couple of minutes, I can see. And all the other interventions will be in English, but only this one will be in French. So I'm going to read the title of the keynote, so it'll give you some time to go get your set. And the title of the keynote is caring for the living and earning a decent living, or how to respect your ecological commitment without giving up your job. So it's quite an interesting title. Without any further ado, I will give the floor to Monsieur Le Noir, and welcome you on stage. Hello everyone. I'll just give a moment for everyone to get their headset. Should I just stop by saying I'm so happy to be here, and I'd like to thank Art Sénat for inviting me and giving me the opportunity to speak about this topic. I'm going to speak slowly to begin while people get their headsets and get set up. The recipe for the chickpeas, Stefan, did you get it? It's a very important issue. We could talk about greenhouse gases in relationship to those chickpeas. So how can we respect our ecological commitment without giving up your job? As a landscape designer, and as a citizen even still, it's more important even just as a citizen's eye, doing a job that is related to living things, and I have to sell something to people. I have to change our territory and land, and in our context it can be a little complex. We have a problem sometimes that we all want to go towards sustainability, the environment, ecology, staying all right. I get it. I'm going to do what needs to be done. The only problem is the immense majority of people doesn't really know what the stakes are and what they represent. So this is not a pipe. We can say this is not a forest. That's a plantation of trees. That's not a forest. I have a little technical trouble here. These are forests. Can you see the difference? This is not a forest. It is a grove. I'm just going to embrace low tech here. As I said, we make a new green space for leisure and then people give you this. It's just right next door. This is 10 kilometers from here. Someone says this is a mistake. This is disinformation. This misinformation, the intention may have been good, but when it lends to this kind of result with fences everywhere and a forest that was destroyed to make this instead, this is not helping the climate. This is not ecological. It's not the approach we want to take today. This is misinformation. This is misleading information. So despite ourselves, we are feeding a dangerous system while thinking that we're doing a good thing. We need a little bit. We need demand. We need to be demanding, but also humble. The number of people who do just terrible things trying to do things right is really quite high and we're all probably guilty of that without realizing it, for example. Very interesting. You can eat avocados because you want to try not to eat meat, but they've come from Chile or Mexico. They're organic, but still we make benches out of recycled plastic. So we have favored the continued use of plastic and we put more into the environment. You've got logs from railway lines to recycle them and make tables. There's Creosote inside there, which is very highly polluting and we all think we're doing great. So this is like a magic show. It doesn't work. It's all an illusion. Bees is a major issue. We all want to save the bees everywhere on the planet. We said we need to save the bees because I instead said on Facebook that if bees disappeared, that if there were no bees, they would be here humans. He never said that, just 20 or 9. It doesn't matter. It's inspiring and it's very, very important to say the bees, except that these are domestic bees. They don't matter. We don't need to save sheep, to save wild nature. We don't need to save domestic bees, to save nature. I'll do this and maybe I'll work. In Paris, there are 1,000 to 2,000 beehives. That's 15 hives per square kilometer. That's a huge amount of beehives. Now we're trying to forbid people from putting on hives up and now the city is starting to have to forbid it because there are too many. They're domestic animals. They're pets. They have a function. Okay, then to produce honey by pollinizing flowers and it gives us fruits and seeds. The anaphylamines, they are big and fat. They pollinize all the flower and they put a pheromone on those flowers, which says I've eaten it all. So if you look here, there's a couple of millimeters long. They live in the ground alone. They're disappearing because we've put so many hives. They're the ones we need.  When we do landscaping here, we put these plants with lots of flowers to bring domestic bees to an area, but that kills the bees that are in the ground. We just need to leave the wild areas as they are. This is worse than ever. Oh, gosh. Oh, here we go. Another magic trick. So a whole different font. What's going on? This is incredible. Circus is incredible. You just never know what's going to happen at a circus tent. So honestly, question your practices. What am I doing? Why? And what is what I'm doing really useful? Or is it maybe counterproductive? Is it dangerous? In fact, if you make a big show like Burning Man, big festival, which is supposed to be ecological and environmental, leave no trace being the theme. That's great. But maybe it's great to leave no trace, but water mess on the way. 70,000 people in the middle of a desert. It means there's water. When you burn things like that, 3,000 liters of kerosene per hour on fire, air conditioning, and all the camping cars in the mobile homes that work with the petrol-fueled electricity generators. And then the beginning has started off being environmental. Now people come in their private jets.  It's not exactly as it was supposed to be. Oh, no. So you have the fire for when it burns.  That's the road traffic. Is it there to go to Burning Man? This year with the rain, it looked like that. That's what we can see. That's the tip of the iceberg. That's the part you cannot see. It's a big problem. Look at it. But what you don't see so much is this. All the animals that were moved out for days, weeks, or years because of the stress by that kind of event is colossal for animals. We don't know what's happening really. People come to Burning Man have no idea about life in the desert. And one of their species is this shrimp that lives in the middle of the desert. They live as eggs. When it rains, they can come to life. But while there are 70,000 people stomping around in that area where they would have been born. This is a field from birds from fields. This is the effect of a fire. The New York City fireworks display all of the populations of birds were totally stressed in the middle of the night at January 1st at midnight. That's in Belgium. They just fly away. This is so stressful. There are animals that die that hit each other in panic. There are nests that disappear, all kinds of things. And also on the 14th of July, we say can we recycle aluminium of coffee capsules? So let's talk about the idea of resilience. Almost. This is a context. You can talk about the environment, little gestures that we make, the actions we take. The context is this. What I'm doing is what I'm doing on the right scale for the stakes here. When you see forest dying, deserts appearing in France, that's a fire in Belgium near a factory. When you see the anthropocentric era, which we could also call the capitalistic area, which is now in the geological layers and shows the results of our activity. It's pretty ugly. It's nice to sort your trash, but maybe we need to go further and then you've got Dubai. Fantastic. But here we are. If you're here, is that you want to change things? At least, you want to change your practices? You've already considered that there is a problem, even if you haven't explored all of the levels of that problem. You have to start by admitting your vulnerability on an interdependence. What is our level of interdependence without the environment we live in? It's unbelievably high. Does anyone know the word hollow beyond? You can raise your hand if you know it already. A perfect example of hollow beyond is coral.  They're a huge colony on a mineral structure that they have created themselves. Another hollow beyond is you. You and your micro-biont. All the microbes you have in your body and yourself, that's a hollow beyond.  You have to consider that we are part of a bigger hollow beyond, which is the planet, which is very complex and fragile. We can be forward here. All the little elements, all the tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny elements that are part of living life on Earth, interact with the others at all levels.  Let's come back to this. Animals, remember that being there, there's always an interaction with the rest of the environment around you. So if we want to be able to move forward in our sector, we have to consider our role in the hollow beyond. What is our place? Am I an element, a major element where I am? Am I destructive? Can I? Am I positive? We're all of those things at once, in fact, with variables that can change a lot from one context to another or from one moment to another. So we need to be humble because we depend on nature. We know now with 100% certainty that biodiversity, the diversity of all of the living beings, is very important to limit risks of pandemics. You have fewer pandemics and epidemics when you have high levels of biodiversity. We all know that it's collapsing and we may have played a role in that. So we need to cause less damage as well as protect it. So we may need to also look at biodiversity to save it just in order to live. See, there's some water today. Sure, there's still water tomorrow. Well, there's still water left. In case of doubt, always favor our simplicity and treading lightning. If I don't know what to do, if I have a doubt, if I think that maybe I might cause damage, I'll try to keep and find the easiest, lightest solution that would need the less, the slowest amount of technology of infrastructure, the least amount of everything. It's not always painful. In my job as a landscape designer, it's a kind of way of life. I accept poverty from sometimes. Now it doesn't make me suffer anymore because I have a little bit of notoriety and I give my talks, but I'm better said to some clients who ask me certain things. I had to refuse. I said, I want to do it because I think it's damaging. I don't think it makes sense.  It also goes through inventiveness, which is a bit ballsy. You have to change your imagination. In landscape design, it's supposed to be Instagramable, the things we design. It's very pretty. When I get to people and I give them that and say, it's finished. You can come home. That's done. I've done it now. You have to really work hard with them. I'm going to massage that idea. In the following months, it changed. It had to start off looking like that and then I created a place. You don't need to water. You'll never need to take care of the trees. It will be biodiverse. There'll be no problem of water. It will come there. It will infiltrate the soil and instead of running away, you'll have flowers that weren't planned for, but it will cost you nothing. But it has to start by looking like this. If I had done that, leaving, if I had left the school, I would never have passed the exams. This is also an agriculture where we're starting to design things differently. We're coming back to ancient practices. We're kind of reinventing the wheel. We're kind of coming backwards to do after we went to 120 million inhabitants. Now we've got 8 billion. Feeding people is a different scale now. There's some good experiments that have been done. Instead of having big uniform fields, we're having things now that are much more diversified. Instead of having crops that are enormous, we're dividing into small parcels and it works. It doesn't work with simplicity. There's also a question of clientele for that. If you want to plant trees in the middle of the field, you have to eat something that's on the tree and because peasants are not going to plant stuff that no one can eat yet they can't sell. These key lines are different kinds of crops. Instead of doing, we do lines and then we put trees and we mix the crops instead of having a huge, very expensive wheat crop, particularly since we can't get it from Ukraine. You have a bit less wheat, a bit less money but you'll have much more resilience as a result. Instead of saying I want this, I want that at the place that I have, we have to say what could I do in this place and what place can I live for the rest of life. It gives that. It's nothing but cost nothing between making just a lawn and to do that, the 20 species that can appear because the person decided to just use the lawn mower to make a heart instead of taking everything off. You could be creative. It's an anarchist landscape designer. I can see my job this way, a little bit of humility. I try to do as good a job as she does. This is what she does. She can make that, that landscape. It didn't cost very much. There's four posts, one cow in the middle and that's what the landscape ends up looking like because there's not a lot of landscape artists that could make something so beautiful with that cow. Pulling our efforts, very important. You don't need to hear that as circus performance. Of course you know that working together is key. The living world is inspired by that. Here you have an insect which eats rotting flesh, charming, but there's a parasite on him. These are mites that know that this species will take it somewhere where they can find food. So the insect is okay to carry them. The mites might even solve some of his problems and he just takes them where they want to go. The bigger insect doesn't die more because of that and it doesn't cost anything more physically. It's not a big effort for him. Or it doesn't try to get rid of the mites on its back. That doesn't bother. And maybe sometimes that the bigger ones can carry this more once in the world. Pulling our efforts here to transform things. We have an imagination. Maybe we could do it collectively and maybe working together we can we can make it look like something. Here you see initiatives by citizens who want to take, who will take care of poorer people if it's not us. Is it the workers fraternity where two crazy guys that grains seeds that allow you to grow the food for yourself should not be expensive. And they set that up manually right close right close to here. There's some crazy people here who who took over that some public space to let people who live there use it and allow them to use it. What we're doing at nature it's inspiring nature doesn't make it any trash it doesn't exist. There are no there's no waste in nature in our global footprints as humans. We are capable physiologically biologically genetically we're designed to not make any waste. Waste is a huge problem now. It's something that it's we don't need to do. We're the only species on earth that produces waste. Why? Nature does not make waste it creates it creates resources but still this is a tree in a very dry place in the southwest of France very dry place the oriental the western uh Pyrenees that which is the most uh hit by climate change these forests contain very very old trees which are now dead so this dead tree has got all these true holes in it so there are insects in it who are nourished by it and then animals that eat those insects and so now it's like a sponge when you go into one of the holes that's been dug by a beetle you find liquid water that was the end of august last year it hadn't rained since april the region was very dry and there was liquid water running inside that tree when you're working with the wild nature always wins you've seen machu Picchu you can see Angkorra you can see Chernobyl I've been there to see it with my own eyes the nature wins nature always wins it's just a question of time watch nature what diversity there's a question but we've got good allies we can choose good allies from the start so you have to have good practices take them on board you have to vehicle these practices I think this is what needs to be done and show an example live by example even if that shakes things up if it's for the right cause there's no choice if you don't do it the problem is collective not just a little bit tricky now because there will be less few bees it's just we won't be able to live there anymore and means you work in the in the arts I work in gardens if there's a world where there's no resources we can't do anything we can't work some more meaning so the best is to start simplifying as as much as we can now here we are just to say we're really on a little a tiny fragile planet in the middle of all of that I think I've reached the end thank you very much so we have listened to Eric Lenoir it's very clear very strong talks Eric Lenoir as you could hear is a landscape designer and what he told us was the less we do the best it is and he presented his himself on the screen like a cow and he said this is me an anarchist lamp kept designer like the cow we could see and we asked him to join us for a few more talks because I want to know a bit more about Eric Lenoir who joined us Eric congratulations thanks yeah we can stand or we can sit I prefer to sit but I don't hear you correctly so I'm getting closer to you thanks you hear me yeah that's great hi you have a way to talk very simple no it's like a militantism it's activism you're an activist more than a philosopher of landscape design the act is something very important you can talk for hours if you don't act it's news when you start to work as a landscape designer in this purpose of sustainability when did it start for you I tried to start at first but I wasn't able I wasn't able of that because the system wants something else so it took me something like 20 years to do it like I want because the system wants a quick result the system wants more than quick results it wants an image a global image that that's how can I tell that in English say it in French maybe I will be able to translate yeah there's a collective image of the gardens that needs that need to be a certain way if you if you watch the movie Edward Ciderhans you know that you can see the gardens in it that's part of the imagination of people they want something close to that like disparate those wives and everything there's an image of the garden that leads to that people do the things but they don't know why they just want to have a clean garden a showy garden but they don't know why they don't use it they don't live in it they don't play in it you would say that the garden is like a handbag like a handbag yeah I'm trying to understand what you mean with that like you show your garden more than you live with your garden okay I didn't have the reference because I don't have any handbag so tell me what do you have in your bag to make the garden I thought it's a backpack so you have a backpack what what are your tools what are your tools a knife a knife I need a knife I need a bit of a rope a rope yeah yes a rope I need a book I need a I need a a paper yes some paper some paper and a pen to draw on it or to write on it that's all what do you look at at first when you arrive on the site on the site yes what do you look at first you look at the sky you look at the ground you look around there's not any order something jump into my eyes at first it depends on the situation one of the problems is that people want a solution the one solution there is no one solution there are ways and non-solution that the truth is that so you have to be humble with anything you propose you may have the solution within your purpose but it's not sure and so you have to to explore all the ways that appears to you and the first thing that oh and the first thing to tell us that there will be the artistic talk now starting now and I can see that Maria Baranosky and Lieberman will talk and Andrea Salustry just will take for the first thing Eric Lenoir and we'll let them talking so what is the first thing what is my sorry the first thing to do the first thing to do is to do nothing it's to watch to watch to understand what happens there thank you very much Eric continue on the artistic talk


Happy Monday, welcome back to another vlog. I'm trying to figure out where I put my wallet. I'm about to go head to work out. I'm weight lifting this morning. This week is exciting because I'm going to Coachella on Thursday, last minute with Ugg, which if you know me, Ugg is my number one dream brand of my entire life. Like, I have worn Uggs pretty much every single day since I was like 10 because, no, couldn't write it because I'm either wearing a boot or I'm wearing slippers or I'm wearing whatever. It is my number one brand ever. So I'm so excited. Oh, today I have a closet organizer coming, so I'll take you guys through that. So obviously this is organized, but I have other closets that haven't been moved in here. We have drawers with all these other stuff, so. Anyways, I'm wearing my Casper robe right now. This robe is the best. I need to have my skincare still. I need to leave for work out really soon, so I'm gonna get dressed one sec. My other number one brand, they're trying, okay? Skims, which I've already worked with Skims before. Pretty much this entire thing is Skims, besides like a fewer wits in the top, and there's like a couple parades, but like most of it is Skims, so this isn't even everything that I have. I think maybe I'll do this. I don't know, I kind of wanna wear, I like really have to get going. I wanna wear a long sleeve. I wanna go where my other calls it. Anyways, if y'all are new here, be sure to subscribe. I hope you guys enjoy this week of my life vlog. It's gonna be a good one. We also have some book conversations. Got a lot going also. I'm just sending this today. My sister left all of her stuff in it. Don't figure. My Taylor Swift Aeros Tor bag, which by the way, it's from like Honey Boutique or something. I made a TikTok thing where it's from an Etsy boutique. I thought Tarte made it because Tarte sent them to us. But if you guys want it, it was such a good bag for the Aeros Tor, especially if you have to wear a clear bag. Really recommend, and I'm gonna mail it to one of y'all who's going to the Aeros Tor. So anyways, set is set active. Hocus, which I was walking yesterday and my feet like hurt from walking. So I'm like, what did I do to these shoes? Why did I do a new one? It's like, isn't that weird? I don't know. I think we had a tour workout. This is actually the last thing I want to be doing right now. Are you excited? No. Just got clean. Oh, what is that? Brake solstice. Woo-hoo. I thought you had some free workout there. Am I like not full on my water bottle before? So I can like move class.  We made it. Oh no. Ignore the angle. I did get a tripod to have this like look better. Oh, by the way, I'm back from my workout.  My closet organizer is coming at noon now. So I'm trying to get all this stuff sent in. I finally did morning pages again because I was like, I feel very disconnected for myself. I feel like life is just running by me and I have no control. I just feel like anxious and like, great things are happening but like I don't feel like connected. You know what I mean? And I don't feel like I'm like manifesting or like, suddenly like, you know, whatever. All that stuff this morning. I did morning pages for the first time as you guys saw in probably two months. And there was something like very specific, ACMs wise, that I was like, I really want, and like this isn't my pinnacle goal with ACMs. And it's been like a huge, like I really want to go to ACMs because they're in Dallas and Dolly Parton is hosting them. And it's like my dream. I want to be hosting like red carpet for like country stuff. Anyway, so any into the ACMs I'm there for and my dream brand, one of them that I would like to partner with just deemed me about the ACMs. So this stuff works guys. That is so crazy. Anyways, I'm gonna record the intro and outro and add for this week's podcast episode which will be up by the time you guys see this. We have Kat on Cam artistry. She's like one of my favorite makeup artists in New York and has just like become a friend of all of ours and she's the greatest. They talk a lot about like body image and like trigger warning stuff, you know? But it was a really great episode and product favorites and all that. But yeah, wow, what a time. All right guys, it is later this evening. My closet organizer just left Cindy. She's amazing from Glamour Eyes. You guys can just like DM her on Instagram. I'm posting like reels and TikToks. If you guys go there, you can get her handle and then DM her. She was unbelievable, so nice. And my closet looks amazing. Look at this. Everything is like color coordinated. I can't take all the credit. It was amazing. It only helped a little bit. And she literally just got here. Everything is so stunning. The amount of the same like skim shirts I have is crazy. Take inventory, so do I really need it? Here's something like I wear these like every single day. So it's worth it to have so many. You know what I mean? It's for the future. The denim looked unbelievable. My shoes look stunning. Heading over to the dresses over here. Like so cute. I should wear that to Coachella maybe. Like I have things that I can wear to Coachella, but anyways. This is the dress that makes me want to wear. Hodges sent it to me recently. I'm like, that's insane. What? I'm obsessed with that. Oh, isn't it cute? But I haven't had anywhere to wear it yet. So anyways, then I have like random like summer outerwear, whatever, night out, top, skirt. I guess those are shorts too. That's actually a sample for the okay that we don't move forward with bags over here. And then I have my night out dresses. And then I have my casual daytime dresses. And then in here, we have just like some puffers out of where I had more outerwear in another closet. She only had five hours. So we had, we got like everything done that we could. Oh, she got everything done, she could. But all these sweaters and stuff, also color coordinated all the way back there. Stunning. Then wait until you see my loungewear closet. I've been wearing my hair natural more. Let me know if you guys like it or if you have any curly hair products. I'll check back in the comments to see. But Kenzie's about to show the outerwear closet and it is, like she showed me this closet, which is like insane. And I was like, oh cool. And she showed me that one and I was like, yeah, public ending number one. Okay, coming in here, sorry for Coco. There's only so much I can do. She has her like wild hour in it right now. Obviously this is my loungewear. Like unreal. Wow. Guys, Macy and I just ate dinner and now I'm actually starting a new series on TikTok called Making Macy Grow Up and Culturing Her to the Early 2000s because she was actually born in 2000. She's never seen Princess Diaries. She's never seen Twilight. Lots of things. I wanna say that a lot of thousands of people have seen all these movies. No, it's just, it's just you. I just don't watch movies. I don't either, but that's why this is crazy. I also wasn't allowed to watch Twilight or Harry Potter. Yeah. So that I never got around to it.  I'm gonna start beef with them. Good morning guys. Happy Tuesday. So I'm only here this week until tomorrow. Today, I will this morning go to Pilates. Today we have the O'Kine pop-up like this evening and I have some meetings but I really wanna continue on organizing my closet. Like I didn't organize it yesterday but I do have like longer than I need to do and then I have like fitness stuff that I need to put in drawers and just like a few random things. I also think I need to pack or maybe I can pack tomorrow and then just some last minute pop-up stuff prior to that we're selling the beige puff bags that are still available right now. There's not that many left of them. So if you guys are watching this vlog and they're available and you want one, get yours now. Last night I realized I need to read out the list of things that Macy has never seen before. It's crazy. Like I'm educating the youth at this point. It is wild. That's what I should have named my series. Okay, well, whatever. Princess Tyrese, one. She saw one, she didn't see two. Twilight series as a whole. Cheetah Girls, Sweet Home Alabama, Harry Potter, Wizards of Wizards of Liberty Place, Ice Princess, the Devil Wars Prada, and not so Raven. And I just asked about Cheetah by the dozen but she hasn't replied yet. So that is so crazy to me. Anyways, I'm like really kinda anxious this week and I think it's just from like all the travel. Just like not being home and like having to like leave and like, I don't know, I just, I'm like really anxious. So I'm like trying to get back. But I'm so excited. I've been saving all these recipes and stuff for when I'm home and I'm back to like my home vlogs. And I've been saving all these recipes for food that I'm really excited to make. I became a subscriber of ButcherBox or the ButcherBox, ButcherBox. I don't know. They're like not my podcast sponsor, but they sponsor a lot of podcasts. That's how I found out about them. But they are like a meat delivery service, but it's like better for you. Somehow the meat is just like made better and then it shows up at your door and I'm trying to eat more protein. So I'm really excited to like have to cook with all that, cast iron. I'm also gonna be getting grill soon. So I'm really excited for that era, you know? And just spending so much time this summer in my kitchen. Like it just, it calms me down and makes me so happy. I also started reading a new book. I'm totally liking the name. We'll talk about this later then because I don't wanna mess it up because it is a really good book. So I will talk to you guys after plotting. Hi guys, I've just been doing some boring work on my hair. Like it's getting, I'm getting it done tomorrow so I haven't really messed with it. It does not look good, okay? A little haul, I wanna show you guys I'm about to do my makeup. It's already like 2.30. I just like haven't gotten ready because my first call is in 30 minutes. But I have these earrings from Jenny Bird. My hair just looks not good. I got these, let me show you them, hold on. I ordered these this week, Marissa sent me them. And I think Jenny Bird, my new like jewelry because I'm obsessed with Jennifer Fisher. I wear her hoops every single day. These are cheaper. They're not like cheap earrings by any means but I feel like for what you get, it's a good price. Like for like better jewelry and coats from what I've researched. I don't know, cause obviously these are my first pair. I also got Marissa's pair for her birthday and I hope she doesn't see this. She doesn't watch the love, so we're fine. But anyways, I like that they're mixed metals too. And then from Kip Sleepwear, I just wanna say these are the softest pair of pajamas. Oh my God. And then look at this, look at how cute. K.E., like oh my God, it's amazing. So I will link these as well. They're just so soft. I cannot wait to wear them tonight. I need to go get ready for this afternoon. Okay guys, we've got some issues, not issues. Actually, I don't want to do it myself. My back is hurting a little bit. Like lower back every time I stand. It started hurting yesterday. And then of course I said, who cares? I'll keep working out and it's hurting worse. So anyways, I'm about to shoot some stuff from my cowboy boots so I can post on limit eight. Follow me there, Kinsey Elizabeth and my Instagram and probably TikTok. Just my good collection. I have pulled my hair back because it is so greasy and gross when I'm getting it done tomorrow. So I don't wanna wash it and then wash it again tomorrow. You know what I mean? And I have to make sure that I feel good. And my back is feeling good for this weekend because it's so much walking. Oh my God. Anyways, this is my outfit. Pants are Amazon, actually they're only $20. I will link them, they're amazing. Top or my tank top is skimmed. It's one of my favorite tank tops. It's so flattering. It's the best tank top, I don't know how to describe it. This blazer is Eritzia and I love it. I think I'm gonna size three. Let me make sure. No, okay, it's not as large. Three I think is a large in Eritzia. I'm not really sure. But then I just have my Prana slides on which I probably won't wear these Prana slides. I'll actually, I might. God, guys, it like really hurts. And I have to pack and be up tomorrow.   We have a lot of orders to fill. Like guys, don't worry, we have so many orders. We actually do. So we do have a lot of orders to fill. That's what part of Jessica does for the whole time. So she's doing that. We have our pop-up tonight. It's gonna be fabulous. So I'm just gonna start taking these pictures of my boots.  I promise in the upcoming vlogs it's gonna be more than just my closet. But like, oh, guys, I forgot to show you what I did today. Okay, I did this when I was on FaceTime with Dawn and we were gossiping so I couldn't film. But I just put together some sets. I know I'm still missing. I know it sounds crazy to say I'm missing a lot, but like these are all sets and I couldn't find with the matching part, piece or whatever. And then I just have like extra down here. My bras and like underwear and socks are in there. There's more down here. And there's like PR down there, whatever. So this is like kind of coming together. That's more like accessories. That's scarves that you guys saw yesterday. It's definitely coming together though, so that's good. Guys, Jessica is gonna see the closet for the first time. Come on in. She's been out of town this weekend. Oh, you can come in. I told her to knock so I can know. Oh my God. An organizer came, but yeah. I was gonna say, oh my God, it's so color coded. Yeah, no, that wasn't me, but. Oh my God. Isn't it crazy? The shelves? I know. Looks so good. It's just so fits out of the way. He can't stand. Look, he loses his mind in here because he's not the center of attention for one. Poor Coco. She just got her meds, so she's not really happy right now. See, isn't it just so happy in here? Look, I wish I had a desk because I would just like never leave this room. I need to take my meanings from here. I could put a desk in there actually. I would love that. Well, guys, we are in Lower Greenville, which, yes, is my old neighborhood. Everyone knew that I lived here because it was so obvious. Lower Greenville is my favorite neighborhood. If you're living in the middle of everything, definitely Lower Greenville. By far superior to every other neighborhood, you're also literally off 100%. Anyways, that's where Lila's is and that's where we're having our pop-up. Guys, there's been second street. What's that? Is that an open? There's so many things. I literally moved two weeks ago and there's so many things. And there's Millie above. It's really cute. So anyways, I'm waiting for Jessica because I actually got what I'm gonna do. I've got to figure out how I'm gonna bring all this stuff in. Anyways, so we're doing this pop-up.  I think it's gonna be a good evening. It's just crazy. I can't vlog these days. I'm like, what do I say to the camera?  Just kidding. Don't say that by yourself. That's bad. That's what I mean. Like, one of my, now I'm talking to myself which I guess is vlogging but still. We're done. I'm pulling up. Two. Guys, look at our cutie little bags. The girly's, I don't wanna film everyone if that's true. The girly's are around, getting their little drinks. So cute. Good morning, guys. It is Wednesday. Last night was fun. I ended up FaceTiming with friends that you guys will see this weekend. Oh my God. I'm so puffy. You guys will, you've met Sad before briefly but you guys will literally just go in and chill with us. We FaceTimed last night for like three hours. Just like, wholly stocking the One Tree Hill cast. Like, I don't know if I mentioned that in this vlog or not but I went back watching One Tree Hill and also my ice machine is like, you know when you get really tired and like your brother comes and saves you or comes and sends you to your house and then you come home and like, you've got to work. Yeah. It may be just coincidence. Anyways, we just got back last night. Like, pretty late for me. Obviously, it's up to like 10, 30 and we were just like going through all their Instagrams and like, everybody doesn't matter how many times I've seen the show, how many I've known but the like Chad Michael Murray, Sophia Bushum et al, them being married, the Paris Hilton, everything. Like, I just, I wish Sophia Bush wasn't so classy so we can get a tell-all, you know? Stunning. Also, I was saying this, if you guys were One Tree Hill lovers like me, the only person in the world who could meet someone, fall in love, get engaged, get married, and get divorced and they continue to act for the next like, couple of seasons and be their love entrance on the show.

Palm Springs but a lot of people like we're staying in Palm Springs right now um actually I haven't stayed at Palm Springs for the festivals before both times no no the death of Coachella never forget that was Palm Springs um but last time for Sage Coach we stayed in Indio Indio's just a lot closer um but Palm Springs like obviously is Palm Springs and this hotel is so cute we're staying at the

prep for the weekend IVs are really my secret weapon Dom also gave me her rare beauty like lip oils the colors that like she doesn't like on her and I'm really just driving that's also like a very convenient thing that we always do opposite lip colors so we can always like share or like trade or give or whatever but anyways IV time so like guys Sam is arrived by the way everything is so beautiful outside everything's so good and it's awesome whoop whoop whoop chill in chill in no literally I'm a regular at the IVs the vlog knows if you guys are in Dallas we sure have a lot of this I would drink like three bottles of water and I have hot enough so like I that's so wild to me I just get so sick it's not really a hydration probably for me but this helps so much and then it helps with drinking that's a convenient thing really yeah it helps a lot look if you have like a wild weekend and you get one on a Friday just like to be like you know pre um sort of looking for guys we're up to breakfast and green juice coffee this is our view it's so pretty and also it's normally like so hot here during Coachella and it's actually felt really nice for once mom and I just found this

new Adi Eminus I wish her get her last name I need to get it back too literally this is probably my new author every book of hers that I've ever read I've loved her new book came out that I was talking about earlier this week and I finished it this morning and I'm like in for some I'm already like exhausted it's day 3 of Coachella but like I'm in like such a like sad like book hangover mood I actually really did love the book I thought it was just like there were definitely parts where there were cringey the way that I judge a book isn't necessarily by like how well-written it is or like whatever it's just like how connected I feel I think to the characters and like how I don't know like how invested I am and I loved it I will say out of all of them it was probably like my least fave but like I still loved it and I did see some people who liked it everyone person who liked it personally I loved so anyways tonight is Frank Ocean day three is always like the most chill as far as outfits and stuff I'll show you guys what I'm wearing my hotel room is so messy and like I am not that girl like I am normally so organized and like I thought I was gonna pack today and I did it and it's just like this is not me this is not a combination of me but it is what it is I'm waiting in my room so I'm just gonna get here the bus leaves in 15 minutes and I feel like it's not gonna come so I might have to go without food until I get to the bus stop but I've already eaten tonight lunch, whatever my set is Zara I wore it to Cabo like last year and then I have just like my same location black boots, my no makeup bag same denim jacket I highly regret not bringing a leather jacket to the festival because it would have looked so much cuter but I'm kind of like getting back to my denim jacket era anyways I love this set and I just like haven't worn it enough I feel like it was like kind of perfect for Coachella so that is it I'll take you guys along on the smaller camera and yeah hope you guys enjoy the vlog I like need to get about together Dom has rebel though so that's who I'm gonna have how are you feeling Dom? I feel better now I took a fat nap need to go and then I need like 7 more naps to recover from my book hanger over I'm so sad oh damn can you give us any sneak peeks about the book or no? it'll give it away I don't know how to give it something don't worry something about telling you exactly what happened okay um yeah I'm seeing Alex G Callie if I make it uh who else am I seeing? Dominic Feig and then after that I'm honestly promising to admit it because after that Jorck and Frank and I'm like I rise in 24 car rides you as when you are not a manager a girl from the woman who loves you hello to a friend the girl this time found you on the internet you know that you know that you know that she's too cool for that I know the difference between what you say and how you feel so we'll see you guys at the festival bye girlies did you have other things to say? well maybe I don't know how are you guys doing I just want to check in on everyone right now Genzi's eating her food leave us your highs and lows of the week in the comments I am one thing about me because I am an avid Kenzi Elizabeth comment reader I will clap back but I will also share love and mostly I'm sharing love because I thought Dominic was going to fight someone last night I was actually kind of concerned it's not a good book on a barren trip I was so scared she really was going to oh on the bus we got it sorted today oh you did? okay wait I have to go so stunning you look so cute take our photo we had to take advantage of the moment it wasn't our style but artsy she definitely had a vision and it was really sweet of her I bought it on the way she posted an Instagram photo and I literally bought it on the bus right here we can be twinning we'll be twinning love you it is almost prank time Dominic is very excited as you can tell under the influence very friendly but true I didn't tell you guys something you guys are beautiful people for following Kenzi isn't Kenzi just a gem she's like so true she really came out of the sky and she really is my best friend actually fucking familiar being in the vlogs having fun and talking being silly when I tell you I would literally pull out a weapon I want to slug you a lot of times sorry I would you know what I would do I would do that for Kenzi because she's really my best friend if I were to get pregnant which won't happen but if I were to have kids I would move to Texas she would need me to raise a child no I would just need your help I like want a baby now well but not a boyfriend so that's a tough part dude if you became you had like a sperm donor like that would honestly be I mean like who's the next OG YouTuber to get pregnant you know what I mean no actually Lord Elizabeth, Kenzi Elizabeth that's what I'm saying anyways thank you for your kind words Dominique under the influence we're waiting and I need them when I'm not under the influence too because that I think is just as important but when you're under the influence those are the true I completely disagree things I say under the influence I don't mean okay bye vlog or take it off I've been matching with people that like are literally like not that at all like an actor or like someone in a creative space and I've just been realizing that like I've been enjoying it so much more because I want to ultimately be with someone who loves their job as much as I love my job like I think that that to me is actually my non-negotiable right yeah and I think that typically is the finance bro like I'm not making generalization but I kind of am that like they might not be as like fulfilled maybe like they make a lot of money but I want to be with someone who like maybe isn't like I don't know who just genuinely loves what they do because you spend the majority of your life working


Hey guys, my name is Boris. I'm a board certified position assistant working in medically supervised weight loss and today I'm answering a question from Lennox Asking how do I get leaner is riding my bike and running good. So basically the question is do I need cardio to get lean? The easy answer to that is No Absolutely not so last summer when I was trying to get into the best shape of my life when I was trying to get as Lean as possible Wouldn't say it was the healthiest shape of my life because I felt like crap But I did get very lean the photos, you know prove that and so basically this person is asking Can I achieve these results or even better? You know by doing a bunch of cardio My answer to that is no to be perfectly honest when I was doing this when I was getting lean I used almost no cardio I lifted heavy weights as heavy as I could which was getting more and more difficult as my Gloric deficit progressed and I was getting leaner and more tired and lower on energy But either way I got my glut to the gym sometimes very late at night Sometimes very early in the morning whenever I had time that was the key consistency and also diet So basically my formula was diet diet diet lifting lifting lifting very little cardio The trainer that I talked to I worked with a trainer maybe two or three times during this whole process She did tell me, you know, if you want to get really lean You should probably do cardio at just 20 minutes couple times a day Every single day while you're getting lean that should help you It's not really a scientific reason It's basically just to calories in calories out just give you more calories to play with so that way if you make diet mistakes You know that cardio kind of eats that up a little bit if you eat more than you should the cardio helps you with that Also, you're able to make it a have an easier time getting your protein in because you need a lot of protein You have an easier time getting your protein in without, you know cutting too too many calories otherwise So the cardio just gives you that cushion But honestly, you don't really need it if your diet is dialed in if your lifting is dialed in I mean personally I didn't use cardio at all So just to break this down a little bit more and it gives you actually hard numbers So unless you get metabolic testing like I did and like we do at the weight loss clinic that I work at You're really kind of shooting in the dark. You really don't know how many calories you need You don't really know what to shoot for your protein goals your carbohydrate goals your fat goals your macro You know macronutrient goals like that your calorie goals the most important thing is your calorie goals total calories in for the day You don't know that without actually having hard numbers and knowing how many calories you burn Some people believe it or not even big muscular people have very slow metabolisms And some people who you would never believe have very fast metabolisms why that is, you know Nobody knows but I've seen a huge huge variety in Resting metabolic rate. So for instance mine when I was getting as lean as I was that you see in the pictures My resting metabolic rate was like 1400 calories. That's very very low. I had a very slow metabolism I haven't measured it since I'd actually be very curious to measure it now to see if it's gotten faster But at that time it was incredibly low Which means I had to eat almost nothing that being said I still had to get my protein in You know the rule is 0.8 to 1.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight or some people say power pound of ideal body weight So my ideal body weight was like 150.  I'm done 168 is as lean as I go But my goal was 160. So I was getting about 150 160 grams of protein per day With that and so few calories burned It's actually very hard to get anything else in there and like I've said in other videos because I was basically eating only protein Essentially no carbs and very little fat. My hormones got shut right down. I felt horrible. There were sexual side effects There was mood side effects energy level was down like everything was just crappy and I would never recommend that to anybody So that's why I always say make sure you get your protein But also make sure you get your healthy fats in so avocados olive oil, you know some cheese is not too much dairy But some cheese is you know, make sure not the leanest meats You're not just eating super lean meats, but you're getting some chicken fat in there some beef fat, whatever it may be Salmon is fantastic. You know, that's very healthy fat some nuts things like that Make sure you're getting healthy fats in as well as your protein But the answer is just to bring this all home. Do you need cardio while you're getting lean? Absolutely not Is it helpful? Yeah, if you have time if you enjoy it, it's definitely very helpful But most importantly protein and lifting weights That is the most important thing to getting lean and most importantly when you get lean actually looking decent Because if you get to a low body fat percentage and you don't have any muscle You're gonna look horrible.  There's not gonna be any definition there Even if you're very lean if you don't have any muscle mass So the most important things for getting lean or diet being at a caloric deficit But also getting your protein and also getting your lifting and your strength training doesn't have to be super heavy But make sure you get consistent strength training which keep your muscles nice and tone So when you get lean you actually look decent, you know, so is cardio good? Yeah, it's okay Just don't overdo it. Is it necessary? Absolutely not All right guys. I'll see you in the next video. Let me know if you have any questions
