The role of the SRE is to define to the engineering team how an application and how a service should be monitored, how it should be observed, what are the parameters should be let out, what are the alerts should be let out, what is the alert routing that should go. Their job is not to receive the alerts. Their job is to help the engineering team take ownership of their service. Hi, this is your host, Sapli Bhartiya and welcome to T3M, our topic of this one. The topic of this month is SRE. And today we have with us once again, Asafi Ghal, co-founder and CTO of Logs.io, Asafi's Creative. Have you on the show again? Hi, nice to be here again. Before we kind of deep dive into this topic, just let's quickly remind our viewers what is Logs.io all about. So Logs.io is an observability solution. We are providing kind of like based on an open source observability, but we actually complete it to be more in line with how modern application is being developed, cloud-based, Kubernetes supported, and all that good stuff. We're focusing on the user experience. We're focusing on the ability to offer observability at a reasonable cost with a lot of technology in order to ensure optimization and ensure that you only store the right data that you need. When you look at reliability and observability are the end, they complement each other or they're like, you know, they're competing disciplines where teams are fighting. We are doing observability and you are doing reliability versus no. This is just a lot of things that overlap. Does the question make sense? Yeah, it does make sense and I think there's definitely some level of overlap and I think this is kind of like where we come in. I think a lot of the SREs or the site reliability engineers, they see the world, we kind of like call it in the horizontal way. They see the capacity being used. You see the Kubernetes cluster. They see the cloud utilization, but they don't see the impact of what they do on the applications. As opposed to that, the observability, which is more being looked from the developer side and the business side, is seeing the application. Like you rightfully said in the beginning, the whole goal of observability is I want to know if my application is serving my customers at the service level that I agree to. I don't care how many pods are being run on how many nodes are being deployed, what are the cloud infrastructure underneath. I don't care about that because all I need to know is that I can deliver the service that I can. I think this is kind of like where there is a little bit of a disconnect between the two of them and there is slightly kind of like a merge that's coming out in the previous year and more to come. So this is kind of like how we see it. You mentioned SLS. We have started talking about SLOs as well, so we live with Object2. Talk a bit about the slight difference between the two and when we look at reliability or observability, once again, looking at businesses, what makes more sense just SLS? Because hey, you know what? We have fulfilled that versus SLOs. I think for a business, what makes more sense is the SLOs. So I have my objectives and I think a lot of companies, we see it. They said that they do observability. What they do is just monitoring. And this is coming from the SRA. Well, this is coming from the DevOps engineering. It's not coming from the developer or the business. I think for a company and the way we see it for in order to company to kind of like migrate and make the transition to observability, they need to define SLOs. They need to build their observability system around their SLOs and they need to ensure that what they do meets their service level objectives. This is the only thing that they should care about. Unfortunately, a lot of companies, especially like in our domain, they come from the DevOps and the SRE and they monitor everything. They monitor every single CPU of every node of every pod of every machine that they're running and environments are getting very complex, every memory utilization. And at the end of the day, this results in a huge alert fatigue and they're not achieving the results. So how would I know if my CPU is spiking or my memory consumption is low or my pod is restarting if I'm hurting the business or not, which is the only thing I should care about? And what we're doing with companies is help them transition from that SRE from a DevOps organization to an observability and SLO organization. By doing that, we completely reduce their alert fatigue. We're getting to be more stable and hopefully making them also understand the trade-offs between their environments, the cost, the security and availability, which is kind of like a triangle that lives together. What are some other challenges that teams face depending on how far they are in their observability or reliability journey? Because cloud native is complicated, complex, so many moving parts. It's also tool and vendor sprawl is also there, which is actually good. Diversification of technology is good, but it can become intimidating for users as well. So talk about the challenges that you see customers often face. So obviously, the main challenge is the alert fatigue and the meantime to resolution, what's being called MTTR, the meantime to resolve an issue. And we've seen using kind of a car survey that over the years, the meantime to resolution just growing and you would expect it to go down because there are more tools today that can address this and the industry is progressing. And I think a lot of it is kind of like they go hand in hand because companies define so many alerts and so many things that they shouldn't care about. I mean, the Kubernetes cluster is already addressing restarts, already addressing scalability, already addressing a lot of the things that you should just let it do. You get to a point where you get alert fatigue. When you get alert fatigue, you have a higher probability of missing the alerts that you actually care about as opposed to just looking at these alerts and making sure that you address them at a timely manner. So I think this is where it starts. I think when you mention about the tools sprawl, it is an issue, but it's a solvable issue. And there are plenty of companies that we work with that use several tools for observability. It's all okay as long as they have a unified data collection, as long as they're using open telemetry, they're using something that make sure that the data is unified across all the platform. Because if I'm seeing an alert on my monitoring system for a specific environment, I need to be able to find that service in my logs without trying to guess how is that service called there and what does it do there. So just the ability to do it is really important. It all starts from the data collection without a proper strategy for data collection. The probability of setting up observability is really limited and it's a problem. What is the SCOVEN? Once again, we look at the whole system. Where does security come into play? And what is also, KubeCon is coming up. So I want to talk about it from the Kubernetes perspective as well. So obviously, Kubernetes is the adoption of Kubernetes is astonishing. It's faster and higher than the adoption of cloud technology. So Kubernetes is being adopted. And not only Kubernetes, all the different flavors, whether it's Kubernetes running on managed like an AKS or AKS Kubernetes running on a managed with Fargate with like a serverless technology that's running Kubernetes. And there are a lot of flavors. It does create a lot of flexibility, but where every time we create flexibility, you also create complexity. And the complexity is kind of like showing itself when it comes to troubleshooting. When there is a problem and there is complexity, you actually increase the time it takes you to resolve. And I think I'll repeat it again, maybe what I said in the beginning of the call. There are two ways to look at the environment. One of them is to look at it horizontally. I want to see the service. I want to see kind of like my infrastructure. I want to see how my application is laid out on my infrastructure. That's the way, like if I want to see the cluster, the Kubernetes cluster, I want to see what are all the pods that are laying out on this, how the nodes are being balanced, how much it costs and kind of like how it operates. The second way is to look at it vertically. So I'm an application owner. I have a hundred different pods that are running on like five different clusters. And I want to see all the relationship between all of them, because I want to see how they are performing. The way we see it security kind of like plays into the, into both of these, both of these teams, both from an infrastructure perspective, I want to make sure that what I'm deploying into my production environment is secure. And also as an application owner, a little bit less because as an application owner, my first and foremost responsibility is for availability and my service level objective, but also if I have a security, if I am introducing security vulnerabilities into the organization, I want to know about it. So I can make a decision how important it is. And I am the only one who has the capability of kind of like fixing it, if this is what I do. When it comes to let's just go back to SREs within teams, whose responsibility it is for monitoring of alert fatigue is already there. Because it's easy for us to say, hey, SRE teams are doing that. But in a lot of organizations, they don't have these kind of labels that you are SRE team, you are this team, you are that team. So talk a bit about from realistic perspective, what you're saying, whose responsibility it is, what kind of cultural changes that are needed within organizations, so that we are looking at things whether it's security, whether reliability, whether it's observity from a holistic perspective. I think a lot some organization that we see, they're having a hard time transitioning from the way they used to work to the new way. Someone reads an article of Google, how what is an SRE, and that's he adopts whatever he adopts from the article. And that's it. Like they don't really go kind of like the full length, which is really important. The role of the SRE is to define to the engineering team how an application and how a service should be monitored, how it should be observed, what are the parameters should be like that, what are the alerts should be out, what is the alert routing that should go. Their job is not to receive the alerts. Their job is to is to help the engineering team take ownership of their service. Now some organization, they say they want to do it, but they're not there. And what happened is the good old development team and monitoring team and just they call it a different name, but that's the reality. And the monitoring team receives the alerts and they're supposed to address it. And kind of like you used the development team as a second line of troubleshooting. If you will, I think that the reality is that companies, if you look at Netflix and you look at Google and you look at all the other companies, the ownership of the quality of the service lies within the business, lies within the engineering, lies within them. And the SRE team is there to define what needs to be done. What are the best practices? What are the tools that are being used? How do you do data collection? So you have some level of consistency throughout your organization. And I think we see it clearly of organization that haven't transitioned that they just like tell the story. But basically, their SREs are good on monitoring people. They monitor every single metric that you have. They have alerts for some of them and they have a playbook for some of them. But it's not just not the way it's supposed to work. And it's not scalable as you go to hundreds and thousands of developers and different teams that are all sharing the same environment. How do you folks make it easier for teams to navigate through some of these challenges so that they can continue to focus on adding value to their businesses versus getting overfilled with all these complexities and challenges? Yeah, I think the way we do it is we do offer them two ways of looking at their environment. One of them is for kind of like the SRE team was looking at, we have a Kubernetes 360 which you can look at the clusters and you can see all the information. You can see how applications are being laid out on them. And the second view is a service level overview. So you can see each one of the services, how it's reacting, how it's communicating with the other. Is it secure? What's the level of, if you're meeting your service level objective for that service and then you can do it? So providing these two views to two different sets of people is really helpful. That's one way. The other way is education. I think we've kind of like developed our own kind of like an observability. What's the well architected way of doing observability? And it has a lot of questions and a lot of guidance for organization that they haven't thought about on how to do it. And we guide them through the path because going from like monitoring to observability, it's not just like a simple thing. It's almost like a quantum leap. You have to understand that it's a different ballgame and it's different culture and it's different structure of organization. It's different responsibility and we help organizations through that transition. I think a lot of organizations start their observability journey within open source. The challenge with open source is it's limited. We're talking about three different leaders in the open source world. Each one of them does a segment, but together they don't actually work well together. So you look at logging, which is dominated by open search. You look at the metrics, which is dominated by Prometheus. You look at tracing, which is dominated by what used to be Yeager and now it's open telemetry. But each one of them has, it's a project. It's not an observability product. It doesn't tie all the information together like we said in the beginning. And what we do at Luxio is we help organization that started their journey from an open source to transition to observability, both from education also in a product where we overlay the observability capabilities on top of the open source. And that's kind of like the unique thing of what we do. You're not losing anything you've done so far. You still have the same capabilities, but you have observability capabilities that are laid out on top of the open source monitoring that you used to have. Asaf, thank you so much for taking time out today and talk about reliability, observability. And thanks for all those insights. And I will look to chat with you again. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me.

What's up everyone, takedown here. Welcome back to another video. Today we're gonna be checking out some fantastic four comic books, which I'm really, really excited for. These ones here are ones that I already have sold. There is a total of 110. I'm gonna be breaking this up into at least two videos, but I might have to break it up into even more if I find the video is really long. There's a lot of great ones in here, and I did keep some for myself and I'll share those in a future video, but let's just get straight into this. Up first, we have Fantastic Four 248, which just looks awesome. All the characters on the front here. Not sure who the big I is here or what that is, but that is really cool. Next up, and again, these are not in any particular order because it can be mixed up, especially whenever I'm picking them out. To sell to somebody, usually it's hard to keep them in order, but this is issue 260. Looks really cool. I don't like the design of the human torch whenever he's not the torch. That just looks a little odd. I get it, he's the brother of the invisible girl, but I don't know, it just looks odd. He should look a little bit different, not resemble her so much. Next up, we have 263. Thing here, yelling for Johnny. I'm not quite sure what's happening there, but that is still a really cool cover. Next up, we have 268, which I'm actually surprised this is not one that I picked out for myself because it looks like the helmets of doom and the eyes are glowing purple, which just looks really awesome. So I'm not sure about this one here, but that does look really, really cool. Next up, another one. Again, I'm surprised some of these that I'm not picking out for myself, but this is 270. Look at that. I love whenever the title gets disturbed in some way with the characters that are on the cover. I think that's really cool, and that is an awesome cover. Next up is 271. I'm not sure what this creature is, but it is literally destroying the city there. That's really awesome. The next one here, 275. That is really cool. You have Stanley on the cover, which is awesome. I should have kept this one for myself yet again, and we do have She-Hulk in the back. So that's still really cool. Two, sorry, 286. We have Phoenix on the cover, along with some of the other Fantastic Four characters, She-Hulk, so that one definitely would be really cool in there. Next up, 288. Dr. Doom versus the Beyonder. So it kind of looks like, I haven't read this comic, but it kind of looks like Dr. Doom and the Fantastic Four are teaming up against this person here. That'd be really, really cool the first time for me seeing that, but that's very interesting. 289. It looks like the Fantastic Four and She-Hulk is pretty much defeated here, but Human Torch is the only one left standing, so that's a very interesting cover. Next up, 290. Not quite sure who this is here. Comments who that is down below, but that is a really cool cover. I like a lot of these. Fantastic Four is one of the ones that I usually am gravitated towards, but these ones here, I did need to sell them and I couldn't keep them all for myself because I did buy the lots to flip. 298. Sorry, I really messed that one up. 292. This is the one with Hitler on the cover. Now I do have this one in my personal collection, including the one that's after that where they're actually trying to kill Hitler, or I believe it might be the one before. I also have where they're going back in time for the first time to find Hitler. I'm not quite sure, but that is still a cool cover. Next up, we have 293 Blackouts. I've yet to read that one. That's a cool cover there. Next up, 297. I can't believe they got an astronaut suit to fit the thing that is incredible or why he'd even need that, but that's really cool. 298. Not quite sure who this is. Comment it down below. We have 299 with She-Hulk smashing the thing through a brick wall, but we also have Spiderman here, which is really cool. That's one I should have probably kept for myself. We do have issue 300 this year. There is a wedding, but it looks like this person here is controlling a toy thing, so I'm not sure if a thing does look angry in the wedding here, so I don't know if he's going to possibly destroy the wedding. That'd be a cool outcome. We have 301 where it looks like the thing got taken out or he's knocked out somehow and they're kidnapping his son, or nephew or whatever. 302, that's really cool. 303, looks like he's getting beat up there. 304, most of these are in order now. Might be skipping a few minutes, but just like this one here, 306. I'm not sure who that is in the center. Comment down below, but that is a really cool comic. 307. I thought it was a thick one, but the one after it was kind of sticking to it, so that was what was going on there. 308. We have 311, which I'm surprised I didn't keep for myself because it does have the Black Panther in it, and I don't find too many comics that have the Black Panther in them, and I do like crossovers, so I'm surprised I didn't keep that, so this one here is 312 that it has, again, it looks like the X-Men, Doctor Doom, and Fantastic Four are teaming up against these alien invaders, so that'd be a really cool one to keep. 311, bunch of fighting on the front here, that's really cool. 314, that's awesome. 315, I am not sure what is happening here. It kind of looks like somebody took the human torch, which is odd, must be flameproof. 316, I'm not sure what's going on here. It kind of looks like the human torch is going into the center core of the Earth, maybe. That'd be very, very interesting. I'm kind of debating on whether or not I should end the video here or keep going, but you know what, screw it, let's just keep going here because I do have enough for another video already, so that's about half of this video. We have 317, which I'm not sure what is going on here. It kind of looks like the thing and the abomination are about to kiss. I'm not sure if that is accurate or not. 318, we have Doctor Doom. It kind of looks like Doctor Doom, or sorry, it kind of looks like thing and human torch are teaming with Doctor Doom in that one. We have 321, Miss Marvel versus The She-Hulk. That's really weird, okay. This one here, 322. We have, hmm, kind of looks like Doctor Strange, but I don't think it is there. He's back, Kang, 323, another fight scene. 324, that's really cool. Mantis must die, so Mantis is in this one. That one I should have kept for myself since I love Guardians of the Galaxy. 327, that looks like a miniature Galactus. I don't know, I thought that was really funny there seeing that. 328, not quite sure what is happening in these ones. It's something that I probably should have read, but it is really cool. This one here has the Mole Man and it's 329, which just honestly looks like a cool comic. I absolutely love Fantastic Four, and it kind of shocks that I didn't keep these or keep more of these from my personal collection. 330, we have what looks like Doctor Doom with a lot of electricity, which is really cool. That's an amazing cover. Damn, should have kept some of these. We have 331, which, I mean, I never seen him stretching on the cover before in any of these ones yet, so that would have been nice to keep. 322, it looks like Invisigirl is in danger, and it looks like she can't turn invisible for some reason, or she would have by then. We have 333, Fantastic Four versus Fantastic Four. That is one that I would have to have in my collection, just the cover artwork looks amazing, it looks phenomenal. Bet you anything, the story is amazing, damn. We have 334, can't really tell what is going on here. This is Acts of Vengeance. We have 335, which is just a thicker backing board on it for some reason. 336, kind of looks like some people got defeated here, but it's hard to tell who. Human Torch is laying across there. It looks extra long for some reason, lengthy. We have 337, Rose Bud II, I'm not sure if this is a tank. It kind of looks like a tank, but it's hard to tell. 338, not quite sure what's going on there, but that is awesome. This one's cool, I absolutely love this. The Gladiator versus Thor, 339. I love crossovers, I keep saying that, but I do. 340, kind of looks like they changed up their costumes a little bit, at least for the thing. 341, really cool. 342, my favorite Fantastic Four has to be the thing, that's why I have this Funko standing outs, and then I have this Venomized Funko as well.  We have 344, which appears to be like a Chinese flag in the background there, that's really cool. Coming near the end here, 345, we have a Triceratops. I love Jurassic Park, I love dinosaurs, so I'm surprised I didn't keep that one for myself. Prehistoric times, that would have been sick. We have issue 350, a giant sized issue, which normally I keep those, right there. And we do have two, sorry, 351, which I'm not sure who these ones are in the backgrounds there, so that's really cool. In total, this was about 55 comics, I'm probably wrong, but in total there was 110 Fantastic Four comics, and I did sell them for $250. They did e-transfer me the money already, I am meeting with them tomorrow, so it is officially sold, and that is a nice sale for me. But these comics here, amazing condition. All the comics that I have right now are either all bagged and boarded, which they are, but all of them are in like pristine, perfect condition, which is awesome, not only as a collector, but as a reseller as well. So hope you guys liked this video, I will be sharing more Fantastic Four in the future, and also some What If comics as well if I didn't already upload those. So I'll see you guys in the next video, please take care, peace.


All right. And one more retailer, Dick's Sporting Goods. Yeah, Dick's is kind of surprising because last week they reported an accounting error. And at the same time, they kind of said, don't worry. And what they were saying, I guess, in retrospect was, don't worry about the accounting. But you should worry about the business. And they did guide down and they missed their forecast. They missed the forecast very big. They missed it like Macy's. So you see, and like JCPenney, when you miss your forecast that big, you really get taken to the woodshed. TJX did not miss its forecast as big as those. But of course, missing a forecast is in this environment where so many companies are not missing forecasts. You tend to see money just flow out of the zone. The retail sector is going to be smaller by the time we're done with this.

Now, Larry Pezzavento. Okay, looking good, Billy Ray feeling good, Lewis. I've been asked several times over this past week of why these numbers work and how they work. Folks, it's not an easy thing to try to understand, but if you practice it a little bit, you'll be able to get it. I'm going to put a picture up here. This is on page 89 of one of the rarest books I have, Torque Analysis of Stock Market Cycles by William Garrett. In 1983 when I was at the Chicago Board of, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, one of the members there was setting up a home office so he could trade out of his office in Las Vegas for his family. He asked me to come out and spend a couple months with him and set it up and teach his boys, you know, the ABCD stuff and little Nixon cranny stuff that we do. And so I did have a lot of fun.  But anyway, one of the fellows that was helping put this up was a gentleman from California that was a GAN aficionado. He lived in Las Vegas and he invited me over for dinner one night and he was trying to get the book that I had. It was actually a trading system by Henry Wheeler Chase. It's a very rare system. I got it from Larry Williams and he wanted to get a copy of that and I said, well, I don't want to sell it. I said, I really don't have any interest. And he had a library of stuff. He said, look, I'll give you any book in this library if I can get a copy of that. So I looked up and I had most of the stuff. Some of the stuff didn't have any interest in me. But I saw this one book and I reached up and I picked it up. He said, oh, accept that book. I said, wait a minute. What do you mean accept that book? That doesn't make any sense. I said, this is the book I want. He looked at it and he said, okay. So anyway, this book came out exactly at the same time that the book came out by Jim Hurst, the prophet magic of stock transaction in 1972, I believe by McGraw Hill. McGraw Hill, they were both engineers. McGraw Hill also put out the book by William Garrett, Torque Analysis of Stock Market Cycles, but it was $29.95 and the book for Mr. Hurst was $8.95. And believe me, they only sold 200 copies of that book, Torque Analysis of Stock Market Cycles and they sold thousands of the others. So anyway, I put the book in with my stuff and six, seven years later, I'm sitting here in Pismo Beach. It was 1988. Yeah, it was 1988. And I had just met Bryce Gilmore and I had, every time I had a good win in the Porsches or something or poker, I always put it in a book, you know, put the pages of the book. So I found page 89 in this book. I put a couple hundred dollar bills in it. And for some reason I was looking at it and I said, I wonder if that money's still there. And I opened it up and the $200 bills were still there. And I saw this picture and I said, gee, I wonder if Bryce would be interested in that. So I went to the printer and I printed out that page and then I faxed it. This was the old thermal faxes. I faxed it to Bryce over in Australia. About 1.30 in the morning, California time, I get a phone call. Hey, mate, what are you doing? I said, well, it's 1.30 in the morning. I just went to bed. I'd been sleeping for a couple of hours. He said, where did you get this piece of paper, this picture? And I told him the story about the book. He said, I've got to have that book. And I said, okay. I said, I'll put it in the mail to you tomorrow. You'll have it within a couple of days. Larry, he said, I want that book right now. I said, the only way I'm going to get it right now is if I go over to the university and fax out every single page of 300 pages and fax them to you. He said, have I ever asked you for anything? I said, I'm on my way. I said, you'll have it in three hours. And I got over to Cal Poly. There was a couple people working that night. And so they helped me put the pages onto a fax machine. This was thermal faxes, by the way. So he shipped it over. By that time, he got it in the morning. And then the next morning, about the same time, he called up and he said, I'm scheduled to be in California. He said on Wednesday, I think this was Monday or so. I forget the sequence of the dates, but he said, I'll be there in a day or so. And he said, Mrs. Garrett is coming to visit us in Pismo Beach. And I said, his widow is still alive. She lived in Honolulu. Yes. And so anyway, Mrs. Garrett came over and talked to us for about three or four hours. Bryce paid for her fare over and everything. And she had a brother living up in Fresno. And so she was going to visit him. So he spent a couple hours. And she told him that her husband never really traded. He was a broker for Walston and Company. He happened to be a good friend of Ross Perot who owned Walston and Company. But he ran several farms in Iowa. They moved to Hawaii. And he managed basically the bond portfolio of the family. That's all he did. He didn't do any trading, but he studied incessantly. And he had some very, very rare books that were given to the University of Hawaii. Unfortunately, these books were stolen immediately. So anyway, Mrs. Garrett was kind enough because she gave me the rights to the book. And I never did anything with it, of course. But we paid her for the rights. I think 5,000 bucks. Anyway, but I ask him, why is this thing so doggone important? And he said, pay attention here to the diagram. You see how the circle expands from a circle to a square to an ellipse. And the ellipses go out all the way out to the Fibonacci sequence. Okay, Bryce said, this area right here, where you take the square and make it into a circle. And then to an ellipse is how you square a circle. And he said, it's one of the most difficult formulas in all of mathematics is how you square a circle. So far over my head, I didn't pay attention to it. But anyway, that's how this got happening. Now, the reason why that's important is all of these numbers that we look at, all these Fibonacci numbers are important. What I do is I look at the main ones. I'm looking at 618, 786, 1.27 and 1.618. And then the last three years, 382. Okay, that's all I really look at. I take that with the with the ABCD. And that gets me to where I want to be. I keep it simple. I don't want to care about how the cake is baking. I just want to know when it comes out of the oven. And that's basically what I try to do. So all of those numbers, all five of them are important. You've got AB equals CD, which is one to one. Then you've got the expansion ratios of 1.27, 1.618. You have the contracting ratios of 618 and 786.  And buddy, if you don't think that's the case, then I'll have to tell you a different story. I got a phone call today from somebody that I've known for many years. He's very famous. Every one of you has heard his name. I talked to him maybe once every four or five times and once maybe five, once in every four or five years. He's on a he's on TV occasionally on a CNB and I'm not going to have to make a difference. Anyway, he just told me, he said, I really appreciate the work that you've done. He said, he said, you're probably you've heard this before. He said, but the stuff really does work.  But coming for you, I said, it really, really makes me feel good. He said, yeah, he said, both of my kids are trading. And he said, my girl was having trouble. And now she loves it. So that really, really, really made my day. And so anyway, with that, I want to show you why I do this, because we had a trade last night and we posted it here in the room yesterday. And we're going to talk about that trade when we get back. And our guest today is none other than Norman, who's in the hurricane, Winsky. He'll be right back with us at the bottom of the hour. At a time of booming inflation, we are purchasing powers eroded. There's no better place to protect your harder and money than a gold. This, the gold flagship asset is the Monk Todd Gold Project in the Northern Territory of Australia. This is Australia's largest undeveloped gold project. We are talking a world-class gold project in a tier one mining district. This is a large scale, low cost project with significant existing infrastructure in a politically safe and friendly mining jurisdiction. Vista Gold just completed the Mount Todd Feasibility Study, which resulted in a 7 million ounce gold reserve in a 16 year mine life. All of this combined with the approvals of all major operational as well as environmental permits. This distinguishes Mount Todd as an attractive, dearest partner, ready development stage gold project. Vista Gold trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VGZ.

Okay, we're back folks, and I wanted to put this chart up. We were looking at this in Silver yesterday, and as you'll notice here, it's a daily chart. You can see we have these huge moves occurring. Note this is a four-hour chart because it encompasses six weeks. You'll notice that at this level right here, you have a 1.618 expansion, and we always talk about that as being the place where the pedal meets the metal, and you don't have to risk very much there because if it gets beyond it, that's what you're looking at. That's what that picture on the port-torque analysis where it showed the squaring of the circle from the square to the circle to the ellipse, the top of that ellipse is 1.618, and that's why it's so very, very important. So what I wanted to do was to outline this trade to show you exactly what had happened, and you'll hold on just a second. Just get it there as where we are. Okay, here's what I get it up here. I'll get it here really quickly here, and I sent this out ahead of time, and then as the market was coming down, I said to the folks, folks, look to buy it at the 382 retracement. That's where I said to look at it. I said that should be the extent of it for the first day. That would equivalent to just about a $6,000 profit, which would make up for the $600, for the five grand we missed on the rally in gold, and I said that would make me very happy if we did that. And so as you can see here, it did make it quite easily, and in fact, I highlighted it in another one. I think that's the one I did do it with. Oh, here it is. Just get it up here. I wanted to show you here, because this is the daily chart of the silver, and you'll be able to see the same thing because it's very important. What's happened in silver? This is huge, folks, because, well, when I think it's huge, what am I talking about? This level that we hear now, this is the daily chart. Remember, now, there's the 382 on the daily, same as the 382 on the 60-minute or four-hour chart, came exactly to the 382 retracement at 2005. From 2130 to 2005 was been perfect. 1.618 on the top, 382 on the bottom, but this level right here at 2130, folks, if we ever get above that, get out of town and don't ever try to sell silver because it's going to run like a stripe of deer through a forest because that number is a 382 on the weekly chart to the tick, 2130. That's why the risk on that was only like five or six cents yesterday because if it got above it, and it was struggling to get there, it would get to 27 and 28, 29, it finally hit 30 and a half. Then, of course, it had the big break, but it stopped right here. If this was really a major top, maybe this would have been a full reversal. Remember, in one day, it's dropped $1.20. I mean, that in itself is alive. Look how wild these markets are, folks. We had those beautiful Fibonacci numbers yesterday at 3802 in the S&P. It dropped 60 handles and went back, and what did it do today? It dropped 70 handles and it's coming back. When you're risking 20 points on something, they give you $1,000 and they give you $3,500, you've got to realize you've got to take a profit somewhere in there. If you're making four or five times what your money is, you ought to be a pretty happy camper, I would think, but you're not going to get the exact low and the exact high very often. It doesn't happen very often. It happened this way today, but it doesn't do it that way. The reason why I'm bringing that to your attention was because I learned this through that diagram that I still do not understand, but what do I understand? I understand one thing, like Hurley said in City Slickers, I know what those four numbers are that really make any difference. The expansion numbers are 1.27 and 1.618, and the contraction numbers are 618 and 786, and the one you keep in your sleeve and never tell anybody about, Johnny's in the back of the room, Johnny, Johnny, I see it. He's got his sign up and it says, Point 382. Yeah, yeah. Thank you, Johnny. We know you're back there. Keep up to good work and keep your eyes off that little Philly on the left hand side of the room. She's complained to me about that, so you've got to clean up your act, buddy. Okay, let's sound like what happened to me at St. Benedict's grade school there in Terror Hote, Indiana. Okay, now I want to cover a couple other things. Since we're talking about silver, all right, and we like 382, and this will be the end of the 382 discussion for the day. I know you get tired of it, but if you keep banging the door enough, you're going to let somebody in and hopefully it'll be Mr. Knowledge and you'll be able to see it. Here was silver when it made the high, okay? Look last night, what happened? The market broke down and stopped where the first time? Right there, folks, 382. A little 25-set rally, 382, and then it started to go down. Wow, exciting, isn't it? Well, let me show you what exciting is. If you take a look at it again, you'll be able to look at it just a little. Uh-oh, that's the one I want to show you the big one. That's the one I want to show you the most, and that is, hold on just a second, if you believe in 382, and I certainly do, you'll see it right here. Okay, there you are. Now, people say, oh, this is short-term trading. It doesn't make any difference. These are bar charts, folks. You put them daily, weekly, monthly, they're all going to act the same. There's your first 382. The market comes down. What does it do? It rallies to the second 382, because once this market goes lower, the 382 moves up to this level, and there it was, and guess what this was, folks? This was A, a B, a C, and a D, and you'll never guess where D ended up.  I'm going to have Johnny show that sign tomorrow that he's always poking in the face here to let me see it. That was exactly the 382 of the daily from the low we made seven or eight days ago. These numbers work, folks. Give them a little chance. Do they work all the time? No. Do they work some of the time? Yes. Are they valuable? Yes. That's all they need to say. I hope that makes sense, but that's what we're watching right now. Can you believe the dial was down 450, and now it's up on the day? Hello, operator. You got to love this kind of action, folks. There's just nothing like it. You can't get it in Las Vegas, and you can't get it in Monte Carlo, but they've got it in the exchanges in New York City and Chicago. All right. Now, here we have to talk about one that didn't work, and I think it's important. Those of you that will do this will be a quick one, because I know Mr. Winsky's coming up. Hold on, sports fans. I did a video on this to show you the importance of these numbers again. Here's where we were in the go bonds today. We're sitting right at, let's get it right here. You'll see it. There was the exact 61% retracement of that low and 382 of the other low, and I told the folks it's a low-risk buy right here. If it doesn't hold, you risk about five points at the most, 150 bucks. If it fails, it's going to drop really hard, and it's dropped well over a full point from that level. That was one that didn't work. We were expecting it. If it didn't work, it was going to break really hard. That was the whole thing about this. When these patterns don't work, get out of dodge. That's all you got to do is why at Erp would have to say, anyway, we've got the man himself coming up, the master of hurricanes, Mr. Norm Winsky, and he's going to have some great information from Astro Trends down in Naples, Florida, in his houseboat. We'll be having Norm on at the break. Live every day in an attitude of gratitude.  Tomorrow is Jeff huge. Friday is none other than our good friend Peter Lides. So that's what we've got here for Wednesday. We'll be right back after these few words. The XAU, HUI, GDX, as well as more than 30 different mining equities.

Okay, we're back, folks, and I believe we have Norm Winsky of Astro Trends on the line today. Norm, are you there? I hear that hurricane coming. There you go, Larry. I'll give you a little sample of the hurricane there, you know? It sounded pretty good. Did you make it through alive? I guess you did, right? Let me check. How about the Denny damages at all? No, nothing to my house at all. Oh, that's good. The deal is there's two factors to a hurricane, water and wind. This hurricane went by Naples out in the Gulf there and we got the big storm surge. So if you were within a mile of the beach, you'd probably have a problem now. I'm three miles from the beach, so and the wind wasn't that bad. I don't think we ever got over 60 miles an hour with the wind here.  Well, what do you got for us today, pal? You've been pretty good with these markets. What are you seeing? What are you telling us? All right. Well, let's review what I said the last time I was on you. Anybody doubts it? They can go watch the video from back on the 23rd of September. So we got AC just to remind you of how this works is after the close, 75% of these astrological events occur overnight because the trading day is only a fourth of a day. You know, so just random distribution says that most of the stuff is going to happen overnight. Okay, so the 23rd AC after the close, we had a new moon that was a weekend and we had a new moon. So we're looking at the usual suspects, which are financials, grains, precious metals. And because it was a Libra, we'll take a look at sugar and a double hit for wheat because it's the moon and it's a Libra. Libra is also sugar and wheat. Then we had a couple of points to the U.S. natal chart that's based on where the planets were on the 4th of July, 1776. We had the 26th after the close and the 29th after the close. Then we had the weekend of the 30th. We had a double whammy with two big mercury cycles. We had mercury turning direct and mercury at zero north latitude. That I think is a rare combination for those two mercury cycles converge over the weekend. And we'll be looking at, anytime you have mercury, you're looking at the grains. And by the way, all these things always apply to the stock market. Okay, let me make that clear. So I don't bother always writing the stock word stocks for every line that saved me a little typy. There we go. So just assume the stock market for all these. And then you had mercury for the grains. And then, oh, the night of the 3rd, we had something to the U.S. chart. So there you go. So now we're going to look at the markets here now. Okay, here's corn. We did not do well in corn. They were coming down here and it took another, we had made a lower low. We didn't make any money. If you bought there after the moon on Monday morning, it went sideways, then it went lower. That's not good. So that's a miss. Then we had our two mercury points there for, no, we had over the 30th weekend. And in the Monday morning, the 3rd, and the market went to pretty much sideways slightly higher. So you would have, you know, maybe scratch or maybe have a small loss of nose. So we struck out on corn. We did a little better on beans. The moon again did not work, which was pretty rare. But then we had the mercury point and we had three, three things for the bean. I see we had something, oh, mercury was in Virgo. So that's another point for soybeans and turned direct. There's another point for soybeans. And you had mercury at zero north latitude, another point for so. So it's a three-pointer there for soybeans. And that worked a little bit.  So that's a winner. A wheat was the best of the three. Yeah. He went down just a little bit and then back up. And so he had a winner over wheat on the moon. And then the mercury points there, those also worked. They topped out there and went down. That's the way it's supposed to work. Here, sugar went down and then just kind of sideways. So you didn't really make any money. Didn't really lose much, but just went sideways from calling that a miss too. Gold went down a little bit and then sideways. So there's another miss, kind of a pattern here that the planets were, markets were very helpful here. Silver did pretty much the same as gold. Just kind of went sideways to lower. And that's it. You didn't make any money. S&P was really good. We made, we were near a low there. You popped up, made another low and popped up there, made some money. Then we came down when we came down and into the 30th there and you made your low on Friday's close. And then we had the big mercury double cycle there over the weekend.  So that was good. So those were four points that were good. And then if you went short night of the third, you were a little early there. And it took till this morning for the thing to make any kind of decent pullback. So I'm calling that a miss. Here's the bonds. The bonds had the, a little made a little top there on the moon. And then we had the US point there. And we had the another point. Oh, that was another US point there. And then we just went sideways. So we had three out of four of the bonds. There's the moon. The currencies dance to the moon, but not this time because they, some of them turned two days later. I only allow one day. Gotta be right within a day or it's a miss. And the dollar went higher there over here. So that's a miss. And the best one of the currencies was the British pound. You might remember Larry, there was a selling panic on Monday the 26th. And there you go. There was a low on the pound. And then the, it was so bad that the Bank of England had to step in and intervene to save the pound. And I had that on my calendar for the British. I actually track astrologically the Bank of England. I had that as a, as a high energy day for them, that they might be doing something there in the, and they did step in and try to save the pound. And they got, it got going the other way. And there we go. So you add up your green arrows, your red arrows, you got 16 winners, 10 misses out of 26. I only did 61.54%. That's the lowest number I've had in a long time. Here I showed you this chart the last time I was on. This is my planetary index Bradley inspired, but not Bradley. I totally revamp Bradley's model there. And there we go. That's where we'll see, let me find the 23rd where I was last on. We were looking at this right here and the black bars of the 10 minute S&P bars. And I think we were middle of the day there on the 23rd. So I probably had it updated as of the night before. And then I showed you the blue line, which was on there already. And that said that the market should do that. And that's what the market did and the black bars. You see, so overall, I think it worked out pretty well. You see that? So, you know, might be helpful to have a clue as to what's going to happen in the future. What do you think Larry? I am thinking about maybe if you could stay on for another segment, we could squeeze you in and you can tell us what the crystal ball is saying. Well, the crystal ball is on the next page Larry. What about that? Hey, how about we pay a few bills and we'll be right back with you. Norm Winsky of Astro Trends from Hurricane City, Naples, Florida. Norm, we'll see you in a few seconds, okay? Okay. About two minutes. Okay. We've got a little, I keep talking, Norm, because I've been alerted that we're way too early. So, I am not, I have a hard time with the clock, even though it's right twice a day. And so all those seconds in between that I have trouble with, I do have a question about the planet Mercury that two people have asked me the same question. And we'll answer that at the end of the show. Okay. We'll be right back with Norm Winsky, folks. You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market, you're going to need a crystal ball. After all, it's impossible to predict the future, right?

Okay, we're back folks and we're talking with Norm Winsky of Astro Transit. He's going to give us a little clue into his crystal ball, what he's seeing next. So please continue. Okay, our next Astro points are the night of the sixth. That'll be tomorrow night. We have Jupiter to the U.S. chart. So that anytime we have the U.S. chart involved, we look at U.S. stocks, T bonds, U.S. dollar, and then Larry, as you like to say, and then this week coming weekend, the weekend of the 7th, 7 A.C. after the close of the 7th, we got one, two, three, four, five big points. Larry, you know that that doesn't happen very often when you get five big things all happening with a concentrated window there, right? Wow. They're a window. So we got... That's on Friday. What's that? Friday. This weekend. October 7th. Oh, the weekend. Okay, got it. After the close. Got it? Okay, so after the close of Friday over the weekend, you got Uranus to the U.S. chart. That's glad alone is big. You got Uranus to the U.S. chart again. And so those are U.S. stock, T bonds, dollar. Then we have Pluto turning direct. Do you know about retrogrades and direct? All right. That's it. And then anytime you get a retrograded direct on top of a moon, that's... what was that? That was the weekend of the 9th of September. That's what you had there with Mercury in the moon. Mercury turned retrograde right on top of a full moon.  So you got Pluto turning direct. And then we have Mercury at an extreme cycle. And we have a full moon. That's five points. Wow. Yeah, so here's how you make money on this. Potentially make money on this. We need the market. The setup is half the deal. So you have to have a good setup. What is a good setup? We want the market to get to some extreme. If the market's going sideways, forget about it. Right? So you've got to have the market moving up or moving down into Fridays. Closer to the higher, the lower it is, the better. Okay? If it's in the middle, that's not good. If it does set up correctly and we're adding some extreme and the market closes near the higher, the low, then the classic pattern is it will probably follow through into Mondays opening, usually the first hour, and then you'll get a big reversal. Kind of like if you go back and look at the ninth or this past Monday, you had big reversals there or in the first hour of the day. And then a huge move, you know? So that's the kind of thing we'll be looking for, okay? So there you go. We got a huge deal coming up here this weekend. So that'll be Monday. The big deal will be on Monday the 10th. We'll be looking for possible big reversals in many of these markets here that I show here on the screen. Hopefully everybody can see those, okay? And if you can't see them, let me know. I'll send you the notes, okay? So there we go. I've been doing this a long time, not as long as Larry, but almost as long. And let's see, I started there on the Chicago, on the CBOE back in 1975 when they had dinosaurs on the floor. That's me. I'm a dinosaur. And there you go again. Speaking of the floor, and that is a question we have from someone is, do you wait Mercury any more than you do anything else? Because we understand Mercury is the planet of communication. Only, only, only, only, if it's a direct or retrograde, I pretty much treat them all the same. What the difference is, what markets they might affect. All these markets, different commodities, respond to different markets, different, different planets, different science, okay? Okay. So Mercury is the grains, okay? That's why you might remember on the last show, I said, you might want to pay attention to the grains there for that, the weekend of the, was that the 30th, right? The 30th, right? It turned out that was to be a huge, bigger window for actually, for the S&P, you know, but the stocks respond to everything. That's the difference between stocks, which is a big basket of everything and commodities. So there we go. So anyway, so I was on the Sebo and the Board of Trade, Chicago Board of Trade, been doing this a long time. I was trading it based on astrology down there on the floor and that worked out pretty well. There we go. You can get ahold of me. I'll be happy to help you. I can get a free tutorial on some of the technical terms I have here. And here's the good news. I was not a good student in school, so I struggled to get through school. And therefore, I don't make things complicated like Larry. I love simple. And I don't think there's anything in here you know. Me complicated. What's that? It took me three years to get out of the fifth grade. What are you talking about? I'm doing A4. Okay. So there you go. I got you beat, Larry. Thanks for joining us. We'll have you on soon. So let's know when you got our heads up and we'll be watching you. And if you're right this time, we'll have you on as a guest. If not, good luck in your next career, okay? Okay. Anyway, so I just want to say that nothing's over a fifth grade level that I'm doing here. I got unfamiliar terms probably to you. You learn what that stuff means. And there's no complicated math here. I couldn't do it. That's the point. You know, this stuff is something. Once I explain this stuff, everybody, it looks complicated. But once I explain it, it isn't. And the explanations are usually pretty simple, too. There you go. Here's how to get old with me. That's<PHONE_NUMBER> in still beautiful Naples, Florida. And Winske and Bark at the queue there at mail.com. Now you can call me on Skype at nwinske underscore one. Looking forward to helping some of the folks there, Larry. They'll call me right away and I'll help you. Thank you so much, Norm. We'll have you on again very soon. OK, buddy? Thank you very much. Take care. OK, you bet. Norm Winske, AstroTrans, folks. We've got a minute or two for the next break. I wanted to update you on the silver because I happen to be involved in this. And I wanted to show you this is where the 382 came in right here. And as you can see, this is a 15-minute chart accompanying a couple hours. And as you can see, it makes a perfect three drive to a bottom pattern. There's drive one. There's drive two. There's drive three. So we add the Fibonacci numbers with the patterns. It gives you a rough idea of how these markets are operating. Do they operate the same way? Here's a perfect example of a 382 that's not working. You see, this is the 382 off of the high right there at 8.15. We've already gone about 8 cents above it. So it's going to get at least to the 50%. Maybe to the 61 and maybe it'll make a new high. You know, look what's happened to the stock market. They were down 450 points and it gets up on the day. Hello operator. I mean, that's a wild market. Well, when it goes up 8, 900 points in a day, nothing's wild. So get ready for that. That train has left the station. We already know volatility is here to stay. So anyway, that's what we're paying attention to now. The second part of this is if I would have sold this, and I did not because I'm involved in a conversation with somebody regarding something else right now. So I can't trade the rest of the day. It's all about trading, but I'm going to be tied up for something. And anyway, there was a 382. Had I sold it there, I would be putting my stop right above the 50% level. That means I would be risking about 12 cents. Well, it made $1.18 on the way down. So 15 cents is not a whole lot. So I might even shade that by now 15 cents is what you have to do when you're trading silver these days because it's really wild. So what we'll do is, and what we'll do is, tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow. It's only a day away. We're going to review this trade and see if it would have worked. And if it didn't, why not? Because that's how you learn, folks, just in that bond trade that we were looking at today. I did two videos, one getting in and two getting out. Because I wanted the folks to see that's how you manage your risk because these patterns work and they're there for risk control. That's what they're there for. You've got to control that. That's how you put your orders in, put your stops in. And we'll be right back after we pay a few bills.

This is an intraday 15-minute chart here on the natural gas because we had that big guardly complete down there at the 630 level. We were buying right there at 633. We're up about 60 handles now. But you'll notice today we had a 382 retracement that occurred here early in the morning. I had that marked and actually suggested that, well, it wasn't for the group of someone asking what they'd like to add there. And I said, yeah. And I said, where would he put the stop? I said, below the 50%. Well, I saw this later. The fact that, look, you made this A, B, C, D, you took out the 382 by a heartbeat, made the D point right here and then away it goes. That's really telling you in the way that it takes off right here. Remember how it takes off a C, which is right here? That means you have B right here and A down here. So if you do A, B, C, D, you're looking somewhere around 710, 715 in this move right here. And you also have another 382 retracement right here. That was a 382 off of this one. So Johnny's in the back of the room just clapping. And Johnny sat down. We're almost finished with class. Anyway, that's what we're watching here today in The Natural Gas. Now, tomorrow we have Jeff Huge, always a great guest for some of the best charts in the business. And then on Friday, someone very, very special. They're everybody special, but Peter Eliides is super special. Anyway, we'll have Peter Eliides on Friday. Given market conditions, of course, because if things are getting crazy like they usually do, then this is what you have to do is to arrange your guests so that they don't lose any money by being on the air. And that's something that we don't want to have happen. So live every day in an attitude of gratitude. And may God bless and folks, please, if you can, try to help your neighbors because there's folks out there that are having a very, very difficult time. And believe me, it's not an easy gig out there for a lot of people. So we'll see you on the flip side tomorrow with Jeff Huge as our guest. May God bless.


El Mills has become a sort of poster child for YouTuber burnout, but in this video we're going to be talking about is it burnout or is it something more that all of us can relate to? What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and speaking of subscribing and ringing that notification bell, do I have some exciting news for you today? Today is the day where we officially launch the podcast. All right, so this podcast is going to be called Unsolicited Advice but it's not just with me, it's with my boy Matt from the channel Create You. So I know a ton of you have been waiting for this podcast for months and months and months and we are officially launching it today so make sure you go subscribe to our channel Unsolicited Advice. It'll be linked down in the description and in the pinned comments and we're going to be recording it every single Tuesday and it will be available on all devices and different streaming services on Wednesdays. All right, we're going to be talking about mental health, YouTube, addiction recovery, news, all sorts of that stuff. All right, but anyways, yeah, so we're going to be talking about in this video people like Elle Mills, Lilly Singh, YouTubers has a whole experiencing burnout, but there's an interesting kind of spin on it that I never even thought of before. And right now you're like, but Chris, if you never thought of it before, what's this video going to be like? Well, that's even more interesting because remember that guy Matt I told you about? Well, check this out. Hi, I'm Elle Mills, my childhood dream was to be a YouTuber. I'm Louie Cole, I have a channel from Louie and I YouTube stars and I'm read this week at the Roundtable Gym Lighting. We are Chris from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a guest on your channel and to introduce myself to all your wonderful rewired soldiers. And for all you guys, my name is Matt with create you where I try to focus on putting you back into the creative process. Now one of the issues and trends I've been following on YouTube since early last year has been this entire topic of burnout creator burnout, YouTuber burnout and all this. We've seen it trending crazily on YouTube and in the mainstream media right now. And there's an example that's floating around in my world right now. And since I saw it, it's just not set well with me. And it's Lily Singh. Back in November, we saw a video from her basically saying she's going to take a break from YouTube. And then quickly thereafter, we saw continuing uploads and nothing really changed. And I kind of was left there going, well, I thought you were going to take a break from this, but I guess you didn't.  And even at towards the end of the video, when she started talking about how the way we utilize numbers as creators being relevant or not relevant, a lot of these things just really didn't sit well with me and led me to start a line of questioning, which I think we as people and creators should be asking ourselves. So let's talk about this YouTuber burnout thing in a little bit more detail. See, last year, Elle Mills released a video, burnt out at 19. And it became this overnight success, this trend almost, of YouTubers wanting to take a step back from creating because they were feeling burnt out. And the reality is the video released by Elle Mills was actually really good. She talked about a lot of the symptoms that are very diagnosable inside of burnout itself. And I want to commend Elle Mills for taking that leap. However, there's this twist to it as we saw the conversation of mental health in general escalate tremendously on the platform of YouTube in mainstream media and even with you guys as viewers. Now, all of this is actually really good. We should be having a conversation about mental health. But when we start seeing videos like Lily's pop up where she says, Hey, I'm going to be taking a step back from YouTube in order to address something important as it should be her mental health, as is all of our mental health important. But then the behavior doesn't really back up that statement. You know, the continuing uploads that followed. And I don't know the merch line that got pushed thereafter. There were just some indicators there that said, Well, she's saying one thing, but doing another. What does this mean? Is this really burnout? Or is there something more going on here? So let's talk about this burnout thing. This thing everybody keeps talking about. Because the reality is it actually is a diagnosable condition. And if you want more information, you can actually check out Katie Morton's video on burnout where she does a great job doing a deep dive into a lot of the symptoms and kind of perpetuating back end that actually creates burnout. Chris, this is for you. Put a link to sum up exactly what happens inside of someone who is experiencing burnout. What they're actually experiencing is a lack of fulfillment in something they are doing. And this lack of fulfillment can come from anything, your job, your career, school, maybe college, a relationship with your partner, your fat, anything. You can get burned out on anything because at the end of the day, it's a feeling that what you're putting into something, you are not receiving back. And this is where I think we need to start taking a deep dive into this burnout thing. See, because burnout is such a broad thing and it can affect creators and non creators alike. And while I have a tendency to focus on small creators on my channel, but try to spread the message to non creators alike, we almost have to reverse engineer the process of burnout, where it starts, where it leads to, and then how best to avoid it and protect ourselves from future burnout. The first thing we need to recognize is that every engagement in our lives is building a relationship. Humans by nature demand relationships. We seek relationships out. So whether it's a relationship with your partner or your job or your career or school, you have to understand that these all these things in your life replicate the same relationship patterns in your brain. It's one reason we can say we hate our job and we love our partner and we love our car. These are all relationship building blocks in a side of our brain. More than this, we can develop healthy relationships and incredibly unhealthy relationships as well. Look at somebody inside of an abusive relationship. Anyone with some logic and rationale to them would look at this person inside of abusive relationship and say, oh my God, you need to stop this. Get out of that relationship. It's horrible. It's bad. Stop it. But for some reason, the abused inside of that relationship refuses to leave the relationship and in turn stays. And this doesn't make any sense when we look at it. This same type of abusive relationship can be seen outside of a romantic relationship, inside of your job, where people work too much. They're putting too much of their time into work and not themselves so they become overworked. It becomes very unhealthy. We can look at the same thing inside of a relationship that a YouTuber has with their YouTube channel. They spend so much time invested into it, not recognizing the damage it is doing to them and those around themselves. This is an unhealthy relationship and we have to stop here and go, well, if this is how we see an unhealthy relationship happen, what do we do to stop it? And this brings us to boundaries, healthy boundaries. You as an individual, before you can engage in a healthy relationship, you need to know what healthy boundaries are. Boundaries are incredibly important for you, for me, for the creator, for the non-creator. Your boundaries are what keeps you from being hurt by an abusive boyfriend or girlfriend, being overworked by an employer who does not respect you as a human being. It keeps you safe and it keeps you grounded at all times and throughout your day.  It's what will prevent you from over-investing into YouTube. It will help you prevent yourself from investing too much time watching YouTube because that's a problem as well. In all cases, our boundaries are what keeps us protected, safe, and centered in self. But this leads us to how do we create healthy boundaries for ourselves? Self-worth. This right here is really the start of healthy boundaries. See, in a lot of cases, people do not understand their own worth.  Maybe it's your friends list on Facebook if anybody still uses Facebook anymore. Your social media presence and something like YouTube, if you're a creator, it could be the amount of followers you have on Instagram, the amount of subscribers you have on YouTube, the likes, the views, the clicks you receive on your videos. In many, many cases, people have this horrible tendency to determine their sense of worth and value upon external facets of their lives. And at the end of the day, this leaves them feeling hopeless and helpless and depressed and unfulfilled because it does not come from themselves. No amount of worth found from an external source will ever leave you feeling fulfilled because it's a constant chase for more. No amount of clicks will ever make a creator feel good. They will always want more clicks. No amount of subscribers will ever make a YouTuber feel good because they're always going to be hunting for more.  And it's because it's an external force. It does not come from your spirit. So how do we address worth wildness? How do we address self-worth? You. You are the answer to all your problems. Only through self-discovery, self-awareness will you ever come to a place where you understand yourself because the harsh reality is we as people are not born with worth. When we are children and coming up as young adults, we do not understand ourselves enough to understand our own value and to understand our own worth and what makes us feel worthwhile. This is a journey. It's a discovery to determine who am I? What is it that makes me tick as a human being? What is my value that when I look at myself, I can say, I, Matt, have this inherent worth and this value I can give to others. That process is key. It is important. And unfortunately, many people will not go through this process because it is quite difficult and long, but the rewards are so worth it. If you can find you, if you determine who you are, what makes you tick, who you are as an individual, you will naturally develop a healthy sense of worth which will then in turn build healthy boundaries for you and then you can have healthy relationships. But it all starts with you. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't want to hear this. People would rather blame other things or other people for their lack of happiness or lack of feeling worthwhile. And this is very, very unfortunate because at the end of the day, taking accountability of ourselves, taking responsibility of ourselves is incredibly liberating because it forces us to further our relationship with ourselves and to truly get down to understand who we are. This is especially evident inside of the YouTube community where you have YouTube creators constantly blaming YouTube saying that YouTube should be doing more and that YouTube doesn't do enough for small creators or that YouTube forces us into this mentality to upload more and upload more and maintain relevance when all of this is a blatant excuse is all it is.   You are strong enough to take accountability, to take responsibility for yourself. And it's something that I preach all the time. Take responsibility, take accountability. You will find empowerment inside of that accountability. You know, it's scary to think about, but you know, while Lily Singh may not be the mental health YouTuber we all have been looking for or wanted or need, I mean, unless she had done that video, it would not have allowed us this opportunity to have this conversation. So God, maybe she's the one we actually deserve. How scary is that? Chris, back to you. Yo, in case you were wondering why Matt is my co-host, that right there, that right there is why Matt is my co-host. When he showed me this video, I'm like, dude, you might have missed your calling. You might be the one who needs a mental health channel. And I just love how we intertwined relationships and boundaries, self-worth and brought it back to that thing that we preach here, which is accountability, right? Accountability, which is empowering. I love it. So if that doesn't give you a reason to check out our new channel and podcast on Solicited Advice, I don't know what is. Anyways, again, thanks Matt for coming over here. I'm so glad you made this video. Give me some stuff to think about as well. I want to hear from all of you down in the comments below. Can you relate to what he was talking about with your relationships, your boundaries issues, your self-worth being tied into different things? Let's have a conversation down below. And this is actually going to be part of the topic for our very first episode, which is premiering tonight. So make sure you go subscribe to our new channel, unsolicited advice, turn on the notification bells and stay tuned because we've got some really exciting stuff coming soon, all right?

Hi everyone. Welcome to Real English Conversations with Liz and Adam. I'm Liz Wade and this is Adam Navas. Hello. And we are just two native English speakers who are going to have a conversation about this week's Spotlight English Program and it is called Life and Loneliness during COVID-19.  If you are sentimental, it might have brought back some memories. But we really tried to gather together some experiences of people all around the world who had the effects of COVID, who maybe didn't have COVID themselves, but definitely went through a shared experience and what that meant. And of course, many people have died from COVID so far, right? We're a year and a half in about. And so there is that additional sadness, right? There is that sadness. But there's also that loneliness that people all around the world felt during that time just because we were disconnected from people. And that is what this program is really trying to get at by telling different experiences. So Adam, I know you have read this program. Were there any of these experiences that really stood out to you, like a story that really connected to you or that you thought about? Yeah, I mean, the one in near the end of the program, the woman who has a baby and then has to decide to spend time away from that baby to keep that baby safe. Of course, like that is the sacrifices people make to move to a new country to help their family or to like to send money back anytime where you're doing something for the people you love, but it's drawing you away from those people that you love. Those are always heartbreaking. But of course, you try to do something in the short term that's good. But it's just the idea of like, when my kids were young, or even now, like if I had to be away from them for any amount of time, yeah, just be really difficult. Well, and especially as a tiny baby, that's a three month old baby.  And yeah, to not have that is very difficult. Yeah, emotionally and physically. Right. I mean, I'm assuming you also connected to that story. But was there anything that resonated with you? And because the program has has several stories in it? Yes. Well, I there were a couple that were really, that were really touching to me.  But then there was also I didn't go through this. But I do know some people who did the woman in the nursing home or the woman whose father was in a nursing home and nursing homes, if you remember, were like, they were just totally overrun by COVID. Yeah, and many people in nursing homes died because COVID is very, very deadly for older people. And so if a nursing home got COVID in it, many, many of those old people died. And so to hear her talk about how she could see her dad through the window. But then he passed away before she could talk to him or touch him again. You know, it's thinking about that last time that you talked to a person or that you gave that person a hug and like, was it meaningful enough? Did you do enough? Did you say I love you? And I think that was that was interesting. The one that really I keep thinking about for this program is the beginning story, actually. Because I actually know this person who who is quoted here. And he says that in the house street near near my house that he's talking about, it's a very busy street. And he says that it was maybe a weekend to lockdown.  And he goes out in the middle of the night and lays in the street. And no cars come. And first of all, that I want to tell him, please don't do that. Yes, not a good idea. But um, but yeah, just to it illustrates how quiet and lonely it really all was. Yeah, like, you know, there was nobody on the streets. There was nobody outside their houses. And so that to me, I keep thinking about that image of that person just laying in the middle of a busy intersection and there's no cars. And that for me was really shocking. Yeah, I remember because I didn't go anywhere for I don't I you know, I'm I miss remembering now. But I do remember the first time I drove somewhere, because I we were out of food or we needed to get something. Yeah. And it was very strange. Yeah, drive on the road and just there were no other cars. There's just, you know, there were other I shouldn't say there's zero wasn't like, but it compared to how it usually is, it felt like the world changed.  And so I it was very odd. But I will say this program talks a lot about the loneliness that people feel and that disconnection. My person it took me a long time to feel that I did feel it. But because of my personality and I like being at home and I like being with my immediate family. It took me I think a lot longer than people whose personalities are I love people I want to see people I want to go out and I want to interact with people extrovert. Yes. So I don't know how you experienced that Liz. Did you were you are you more like me? Were you okay with that? Or were you like, Oh, I need to go out and see people? I do think because I have worked at home for a couple years now. Spotlight is made up as you know, Adam of people who are in different parts of the world. And we all come together to make this program. So I feel like I had gone through a lot of the work from home loneliness, or the workplace sort of loneliness before in the years previous. And so but also our team gets together quite often over Zoom or you know, just over the internet online. And so this is kind of normally how we are. And I remember even just back at the beginning, our first live show in COVID. Yeah. And man, thinking about that now, right? That we we were able to sort of get together and chat that way face to face. Even though it wasn't face to face and even talk with listeners and I I'm going to cry right now as I remember it. But you know, do you remember people were were messaging us in the comments and saying like, No, we're we're like this too. And you know, we're lonely and we're not we're not allowed to go outside either. And it just felt like it didn't feel lonely in that moment. Right? I seriously am going to cry right now. It felt like it felt like a community of people all around the world who were going through exactly the same thing together in real time. And so I guess there was some loneliness about it. But there was for me at least a feeling of community, like we're all locking down, we're all staying in our homes to protect those people who are more vulnerable to disease to protect older people or to protect our children. Because of course, at the beginning, we also just did not know anything about COVID. Right. There were a lot of big question marks and theories floating around about how to protect yourself and what was okay and what wasn't okay. And I think one of the things I know that that we're both committed to is really not just doing what's good for me now, but what's good for everyone, and especially not forgetting what's good for those people who who might not who might be a little different. You know, I know someone who has a it's a terminal cancer, and he has he's doing fine. But he's a very high risk person, even with vaccines, even with masks, just because of that. And I always, you know, that's the person who's in my mind. Most of the time when I'm having a conversation or I'm thinking about what does it mean to start to return to normal? What was normal? Is it just about me? Is it just about, oh, look, I get to do things that that were like they used to be. No, I need to make sure that everybody is safe and everybody has what they need. And if I have to do some things differently, I'm okay with that. Yeah. Well, there's also, you know, here in the US, we have had we've had vaccinations already. And in my family, a couple of us have been able to be vaccinated. But there are some people in my family who have not been been vaccinated yet. But you know, if I think about other countries, there are other countries where vaccines aren't freely available yet. Right. And so for us, well, I'll just speak for me. For me, it seems like, oh, there's some new hope here, right? Right. But until everyone is vaccinated, we're all at risk, right? We can we can have coronavirus variants that that cause problems. So part of that community thinking is making sure that everyone is taken care of everyone can be vaccinated if they want to. And so for me, there's a one sec. So there's there's hope. But it's also like, it's hopeful for long term. It has to be long term hope. It's not like we're going to be solved in a year. There still might be a long time. Well, that's exactly I mean, that's the natural extension of so I think about that one person and what you're in that. That's my community. You know, my example, what you're saying is, with when it comes to a coronavirus, are the community is the whole world, right? You can't you can't just say, I'm good. My family's good. The people in my town or city or even state or country are good. Until until this is solved for everyone, it's kind of solved for no one. Right. Exactly. Exactly. I we're gonna end this program on such a sad note. But I again, I think it goes back to like, we're all going through this together. We all need each other. Yeah, right? Not only to be together and for support for being around people, but we need each other to to fix the problem. Yeah. Right. To go for the solution. Right. We need everyone on board for the solution to work. Yes, exactly. Yeah, so that's I mean, I would love to hear. Well, I mean, maybe not love to hear, but I would love if you would share your stories with us on on, you know, comments or send us an email or whatever. Because I know that I know that this has affected all of us the same, but it's also affected all of us differently. Yeah. And yeah, I know, like you were saying, Adam, there are some people who are like, I cannot wait to get out and like, hang out with my friends and do a million things. And I'm like, well, that would be nice. But I also would like to go to the grocery store again, without, you know, feeling unsafe or whatever. And I also would like to know that everyone in the world is able to like get vaccinated, or, you know, is not in danger anymore. So yeah, tell us tell us your story. Like, how are you feeling now? A year on from COVID. What do you think the future is going to be like? I also think it's interesting to think about what what is our future going to be like in in two years, or five years? If something like this happens again, will you do something differently? Yeah. Or will you will it will we just kind of go through it together and see what happens? I think those are great questions. We'd love to hear from you in the comments. Yeah, to this video. Yeah, I was gonna say, thank you for for listening and watching. However, you're consuming this real conversation. You can find a link to the programs in the program notes below on wherever you're finding this, you can find us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and YouTube as always. And yeah, let us know what you think. Tell us your story. And thank you for being a part of this community where we can actually be all together and that we are a community who who really want each other to do well, the spotlight community. So here we go. That's a that's a very heartfelt and happy, happy and hopeful way to end this program. And um, yeah, let's let's take down COVID. Let's do that together. Let's um, yeah, that'll be the spotlight team. We're gonna do it. Exactly around the world. Anyway, listen, watch, practice, learn, spotlight out.
