This is Start a Storefront. It's no secret that America's food supply has been compromised. 52% of produce is wasted. For food to survive the current supply chain, it has to be processed and then sprayed down with chemicals. Not everyone has a green thumb, and if you live in a city, it can be hard to find the space to have your own personal garden. From farm stand to table, lettuce grow makes growing your own groceries easy. They ship out your starter plants, and then you just drop them into the farm stand. This system is self-watering and self-fertilizing.  Grow indoors, outdoors, in year-round. Let us grow makes growing your own produce easy. In this episode, we spoke with Jacob Peshinick, the co-founder of Let Us Grow. We talked about why you would have been more successful running a crispy cream franchise, his 10-year vision for Let Us Grow, and why it's better to be an outsider. Welcome to the podcast on today's show. We're talking to Jacob from Let Us Grow. Thanks for joining. For people who don't know, what is lettuce grow? Let Us Grow, we make it super fun and easy for everyone to grow their own food at home, regardless of their time, the experience, space. We were talking about this a lot of fair, but you were a producer before, and so what made you want to launch into something so different? Were you a vegetarian? Is this world something you're passionate about, or it feels like a left at a high level from being in the Hollywood movie producing space, and now all of a sudden wanting to, one, do startup, but then also do this, like, kind of become your own farmer type concept? Yeah. Well, I learned I was going to be a dad, and I just started to look at the food that we were eating.  And just saw how just organic produce was so expensive and inaccessible to most people. And I wondered why. And that led me down this journey to eventually start a farm in Texas with two friends. A real farm. A real farm. How many acres? It was an Agua Ponix farm, and we grew, the whole farm was three acres, and then we had two big greenhouses. We produced about 20,000 heads of lettuce a month. Yeah, were you selling them? Yeah, we were selling to farmers market and selling to restaurants. And then we were looking to scale up to do grocery store and then really build out the farm and replicate it in multiple towns. And it was 100% organic, zero waste. And when we went to scale it up, I realized the real issue with farming wasn't so much the growing method. It was more getting it from the farm to the people because to go through the grocery, you had to put in your beautiful head of lettuce in a plastic clamshell, put that in a box, put that in a refrigerated truck that would go to a distribution center. That would then another truck to go to the store. And that's the expensive part, I would imagine. Yeah, and half of the produce goes bad before anyone eats it. So when you look at that 50% waste, one, it's horrible for the environment, but it's bad for the consumer. But if you took out that waste, you would cut the price of fresh food in half. And I started to realize it's absolutely insane to go to a grocery store to buy fresh food. We're so used to it, and that's why you go to the grocery store twice a week is to get fresh food. But none of the food at the grocery store is fresh. It's seven to 10 days old. Even a lot of the vertical, the new vertical farming, where they grow closer to metropolitan areas. The lettuce is almost engineered to be in that clamshell for 17 days. But we know that for lettuces, I think about 30% of the nutrients degrade within three days. And for spinach, it's 50% in 24 hours. So we're not getting the nutrients that we need. It's late. Yeah. So for a lot of reasons, I was like, this is just crazy. Someone's got to do something about this. That's such a fascinating analysis of the problem. It is. I never would have thought about it that way. Yeah, it's all distribution. We're essentially putting lettuce on a distribution system that's designed around Doritos, right? It's designed around self-stabilized food that can store for a long time that you can transit all over the country, all over the world. And it's remarkably efficient for that. But it's not where we should be putting our fresh produce. That should be all localized. Okay. So now you have identified the problem. So you're like, okay, let's get this in the consumer's hands. And now the question is like, how do you do that, right? So what is the vessel to do that? How do you make it fun? Because I think there's been a lot of people that have tried this concept of like, become your own gardener. And usually it means you have to have land, maybe a little garden outside, and that's where you do it. And so how did you land upon the approach of like, we're going to build this tower thing that looks beautiful, right? It's eye-catching. And we believe the consumer will trust us enough to purchase this thing and become a farmer, but in like a very LA way or like a city, like in their apartment. So how many iterations do you go through before you're like, this is it? Like, is it positive? A lot of thinking. Yeah. And so there was another, you know, element to seeing all the waste. That was just being on the farm. And we were growing mostly hydroponically, but we also had some, you know, growing in the ground, more conventional farming, all organic though. And I remember pulling the first turnip out of the ground for harvesting and, you know, wipe the dirt off my jeans and took a bite. And it was the most amazing taste and feeling. And it was just like, wow, we grew this and living off the land. And it just felt, it was like magical. You get a connection that you'd never had before to your food. Yeah. And it was like something missing just from myself. You know, it's like, it made me realize like, it's in our DNA to grow. We've been growing, you know, for hundreds of thousands of years. It's in our DNA only for the last 100 or 150 years we stopped. So we have this like skill and this connection, right? We're designed to do it. And it was like a reconnect with that. And I was like, I want everyone to have this experience. And if everyone has it, then this food problem that we have, right? Of the chemicals in our food, of these long distances, it's going to change because consumers will get re-engaged. They're going to be like, they're going to care. They're going to, you know, have that spark be reconnected to the earth. So the combination of those two things is really, you know, what ultimately came into to be, let us grow. And so the idea was like, how do we empower consumers? How do we make it super, super easy for everyone to grow?   Say that every day. Who says that? Who are you thinking that with? Yeah, but I guess it's like in our DNA, right? To care for there.  So we really had to, you know, figure out, OK, how do we make this like super easy on ramp, right? That anyone, right, can do this and at the same time be thinking of the whole sit like a systems level architecture, right? How does it work? Like in a broad way for, you know, the environment and just to be effective. So that's where the concept came of growing baby plants instead of full mature plants. So we grow baby plants at the farm and by only growing babies, that means we can grow a hundred times more per square foot. Increase the volume. So it means we can put a farm like right where we are right now. Yeah. You know, easily that would serve all of LA. Yeah. And then we just send these baby plants much shorter distances to our consumers. Doesn't require all the resources, right, to do that. And by doing that, the hardest thing about growing, I would say, is like knowing what to grow, when to grow it, how to germinate the seed, how far down to push the seed. How much water to add, is it growing, is it not, did I do something? It's like, it's too much friction, but we've already, we do that part, which is the hardest part. And we get the plant to be like two to three weeks old. Once it's there, it's looking great. Yeah. It can last in a box and go to, you know, we can send it to our, our grower. And they get it in two days, put it in our unit and it does the rest of the work. So it then gives the customer, right, this growing experience, gets all, all the benefits without the, you know, bending down, building a raised bed and like all this stress. So that was really like the design. And then we really had to come up with a unit, right? That was beautiful. And the first one that I made, the design was really, would, you know, was using off the shelf parts and was easy to ship. And, but when we put one together, it was so ugly. It was like, this is not, this people are going to work in their house and do this. Yeah. So that really flipped the switch for me because I never had a consumer focused business before. Did you hire like an architectural designer? Or like someone I brought on a industrial designer. Okay. This guy, Pip Tomkin, who's a great friend now.  Totally. Yeah. I said, Hey, can you take this thing and make it look better? And he was like, do you want to see some other concepts? I'm like, how many other concepts could there be? And then he showed me like 30 different concepts. So, and they're stackable too, right? Yeah. So these are more intelligent. These are modular. Right. So it's really nice that you could start with like 12 plants and then you could decide to go up to 36. And we have about 25, 30% of our customers at a couple levels within like the first three months. So it's like, they see, oh, this isn't, this isn't tough. And they get the hang of it. And the other really nice thing about the whole thing is it's very like reliable and predictable. Whereas like conventional growing, you plan all this stuff. You wait eight weeks. Hopefully, you know, you remember to water all the time, but it's kind of like nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, oh, a ton of stuff. And then you better eat it or give it away, you know, to your neighbors. Whereas we time everything so that you can have a harvest. Let's say, depending on the size, you might have one harvest a week or all the way up to five or six harvests a week, right? So you can plan your meals around it, which is the whole reason we started it in the first place was to eat, you know, not just to grow for that. How are you, how are you planning that? Are you putting plants in at different stages of their life cycle into the pods? Or are you just choosing the plants that will mature at different rates? Yeah, so it's a combination. So yeah, there's certain plants that grow faster and then there's certain plants and then there's certain plants that will grow longer at the farm before we ship that.  And then we'll craft a bundle and it's really designed. So that you'll have harvests, you know, probably started in about two and a half, three weeks. And then you'll have just nonstop harvest from that. And then we send you emails or alerts to say it's time to refill, you know, and we'll recommend what refills that you should have so you can keep that cadence when you're thinking about coming to market. So you've done a lot of the hard part. The analysis is there. I'm loving the way you kind of dissect the problem and analyze that. But now it's a function of like, okay, we have the design. Now we have to go to market and make a margin.  You want everyone to be attainable, right? Yeah. And so like, how do you start your pricing? But you also don't want, I would imagine someone to just buy one, right? You want someone to buy like a little farm, maybe that's three, four, five, six, I don't know. How do you, like, how did you view that just from your customer journey and getting people to experiment with you is kind of the way I think about it. Yeah. Well, sustainability was key, you know, all around. So it's sustainability for the environment. Sustainability for the customer. Sustainability for us, right? So that we'd stay in business. I really just put my consumer hat on for pretty much all the decisions that we made, even if they weren't like the most economical for us at the time. So like we have to give the customer, right? The best experience and the investment, you know, is significant. So we looked at wanting to make sure that the customer would get ROI, you know, return on their investment. Right now it's within 10 months. That's based on the price of the farm stand and then the refills, the plants. So basically what they would spend at the store, they're getting that return. Exactly. So all of our seedlings are $2.50. So a $2.50 seedling, that could grow $50 of tomatoes in the summer or $30 of cucumbers or dependent or $15 of basil or $3 of lettuce. So it just depends what you're growing. And that's good. I buy, so I started a garden during the pandemic. So two years ago and I've been buying, you know, plants seasonally ever since and like $2.50, that's pretty good. Even like, if you're buying it at a wholesale nursery or whatever it is, like I can think of spending $5, $6 on say a tomato plant. So $2.50, you can buy a single tomato head of the store for that or you can buy a plant. And that tomato might go bad. Exactly. Yeah. Might not get to it. So this is like, yeah, this is for organic, no chemicals, all the taste because you pick it right before you eat it. And so people always think, wow, is this genetically engineered? No, that's just the way food is supposed to taste. Yeah. So the interesting thing is there's a lot of, I think, thinking about the ROI, the cost, are we going to do it?  Post-purchase, it's all experience. People just love the experience so much. I mean, they are eating, they're getting the taste or all that.  It's knowing where my food comes from in the pride of growing my own. And so that's the thing. That's the priceless, you know. Do you lose customers at a certain point? Like, where is there the drop off where the customer doesn't do this one thing and then it leads to a not so good experience? Like, what did you have to navigate of the hard part? Well, when we let everyone grow for 90 days, like for a whole season, and then they can return the product if they don't like it. And we've our return rates always been, you know, one percent or less. So I think that's, you know, talks a lot to the experience, the overall experience there. But then the unit can go outdoor or indoor when you add lights. And so we have growers all over the country, all 50 states. And so let's say if you're in Massachusetts and you're growing outdoors, you put the unit indoors or you put in the garage for the winter.   And they should really go out and harvest because the roots start to get, you know, bigger and it just gets a little bit harder to maintain. That becomes a project. And then they stop growing for a while until they can go in through that. So if you follow our protocol, it's really like five minutes a week. If you do that every week, you won't ever really need more time than that.  And that that could be a point of drop off. But generally, like we have a very low churn and, you know, very low drop off, right? I think it's like once you have this experience of growing your food, you don't want to ever go back. You might upgrade to one of our customers. Like a couple of weeks ago sent in a note that they had never grown before. They got two farm stands and now they're selling their house in L.A. buying a farm and they're going to go to be a farmer. Wow. Based off of the experience. A lettuce grower farmer or like no, just regular farmer. It was just the experience where as I try to say, we're actually, you know, saving you from quitting your job to go to be a farmer. You get that. You get the experience. When you first started moving into this farming and then ultimately starting like this e-commerce business, do people think you were crazy in your world? Like all your friends in Hollywood where you like, they're like, what are you doing when you're becoming a farmer? Well, my friends in Hollywood, I don't know because I think they're crazy. But that's true. That's true. But I was in before Hollywood. I actually had a couple of software companies and I built trading platforms. And so got it. I was in the entrepreneurial. You were crazy going to Hollywood. Yes.  You're back. Yeah. And I had done well with the businesses before Hollywood. That's what helped me get to be able to produce. To move into film. But I went to fund the business and I went to VCs and I've had good exits in the past. And I thought this is the best idea I've ever had. And those people thought I was crazy. And I thought they were crazy, you know, but I talked to a lot of VCs and they just say, what's wrong with going to Whole Foods? And they just didn't, you know, they didn't see it. They didn't get it. And that was a big, I don't know if it's a wake-up call or how to describe it, but that was, I was just not expecting that. And it was something I worked on for, you know, many months. Like were you like, oh, I'm from the future and now I know for sure that I am? I mean, that's the mindset that I had to get through all of it. But yeah, I ended up being a grind. Yeah.  Sure. You know, in the early, in the early days. You retain some company, yeah. Yeah. And then, you know, COVID started and those same VCs called me up and said, hey, do you have one of those units? You know, so people. Now everyone's getting into it. Yeah. It's kind of like a little, you know, it's like the health scare. You know, we're sure like when you're, you don't have the best lifestyle. Yeah.  And then, you know, you're like, okay, I'm really. This is what matters.  And I think COVID was a little bit of like a shock and made people really think where their value systems, you know, are and what's important, the health of their family and things like that. And then it just kind of turned things. You experienced massive growth during COVID. Yeah. Yeah. What's the average age of your customer? Is it a new, like in your situation where you had kids and so it turned the light bulb on? Is it, is it that? Is it like new parents or is it just the average age? It's like, I would say like late millennial new parents, but there's such a range. There's even like college kids getting more like which is just shocking.  We're bending over and doing all that. And so it's just like super, you know, broad range and it's everything from, you know, new moms to like more tech, like biohackers to cancer, you know, anyone's got health issues and really just can't have chemicals in their food and things like that. What's the biggest question you get today from VCs? Is it around, like, I know you just closed it in a round, but is it around like what does the future look like? How do you create? So traditional questions in e-commerce might be, what does your product line look like? So, so lights would be an example of how you've differentiated or created another value prop. Do you think about, is there innovation for more, right? And so you have the tower now, you've added lights. What else is there any, is there even a need for anything else? I don't know. Yeah. Is it just more homes, more penetration? Definitely. The way I see it is 10 years, maybe 15 years. This should be like a refrigerator or a pantry in everyone's house. There's no reason. Does any culture do this now? Like any, any. Well, we all used to do it. Right, we all used to grow. And now this is just, you know, we, you know, 50% of people live in cities. They don't have the space. Or if you don't live in a city, let's say you're renting your house. You don't know how long you're going to be there. You're not going to invest in the garden. So this is like a portable, you know, portable garden, right? And it's not for everything, right? You can't grow trees on it or bushes, but for any, you know, for herbs, leafy greens, and most of your fruiting veggies, it works and it's way more efficient than the conventional way. So it should be. How do you market this? Is it influencer mark?  How do you, is that, was that massively challenging right now? Yeah, for sure. But it's really just share it with as many people as possible. Social media has been really good to us. I think, well, really the product, I got lucky with the product. It just works so well. In what sense? It works so well. It just, it works. You know, there's so much time putting into design, but there's still, you know, you could still design a product and spend a lot in it. Just not, there's issues with it, right? But I think the product works incredibly well. And I'm so lucky that we have a great customer care team. So people generally have a really good experience and they want to share that. So they share that in our Facebook community group. They share that and that encourages other people, right? To come and see it. It is a very experiential product. And so we were a little bit handcuffed during COVID that people couldn't go and see it somewhere. People couldn't go and see it at someone else's house. It was all online. Now that this is over, close to over, at least things are opened up. I think people will again be able to experience, right? And I think like social media, digital channels will be less critical, you know, for marketing the product and it's more experiential. Are there any other things that you're, you're like really trying to get into like, what is the limit for this? And so when I think about what, what, what other things you could branch into that are not so veggie focused, but maybe there's other things people can grow, that maybe coffee comes to mind, but it's hard copy. There's a real process afterwards. That's the right climate. Totally. But is there anything else that you're, you like dream project? You'd love to tackle this one thing that every consumer has every day. And today it's challenging, but, you know, given, given your skill set around being able to solve these issues in a, in like a seedling way that, you know, that you get excited about, is there anything like that? Well, you know, food is so, we all eat food, right? So even just the, what we're doing now is just a massive opportunity. We've grown over 200 different types of seedlings. And we're always experimenting with new ones, right? So it's like different and every, everything's edible, but we have like different edible flowers, but we're, you know, it could be different herbs now and different things that are like, like hot at the moment. You know, we're like, you have a special, I forget the name of the kale, but it's, you know, depending on the climate, the color changes.  And we have like yellow and purple beans. So we're always experimenting, you know, with different things. Can you do Boston Bibb lettuce? Yeah, yeah, yeah, favorite lettuce. This is a selfish question for me. So I've done tech. We have a podcast, I do real estate development for working on a television show. And you're because you've done so many different things. What, what is the similarity that you've learned is, is the skill set that is sort of helping you, that you're able to tap into to be successful in all these different things. And so for me, I always say, it's like, at the end of the day, you're dealing with humans and that's a real thing, right? And so the humans don't change no matter where you are. And the second thing that I really tap into is just the understanding of, of what it takes to pull something off, right? It's a tremendous amount of work. It does usually take some sort of risk, probably pretty large and also capital. Right. And so if you have these three things and some patients and the right team, you'll be fine. But what are the things that you've learned on your journey? Yeah, that you just made it easy because I mean, I would agree. I would agree with all that.  You know, years ago, but I remember some other last thing I thought we'd be talking about. Yeah, some businesses I had before, I'm like, wow, I would have maybe been more successful just getting a whole Krispy Kreme franchise, you know, because it's just, you know, a lot of work. But I like, I think what attracts me is seeing, is more seeing like a system level problem, like a really big problem. Like, like I think, you know, our food distribution system. And seeing all the chaos and all the moving parts, because like food is such a complex, right? Problem and, and just sort of, you know, cutting through that, really simplifying the problem and focusing on that. But that's probably like the commonality, you know, in film and I got in, I just saw the way that independent films were financed, which just didn't make, it was just kind of chaotic. It was the first one I did. I was like, could we do it this way? And I was like, sure, why not? And the second was like, could we do it this way? And I kind of learned how to structure them. And, and before that, I was built a weather derivatives trading platform. And I saw the way that the traders were conducting the business, and it was just coming up with a completely different way that people thought in all the places, I think people thought I was nuts. And they'd say, well, if it should be this way, why isn't it that way? Why didn't someone else do it? And I'd say, well, I'm doing it. And you have to have a lot of passion. You have to almost like believe that it's like a foregone conclusion that your way is the way, right? And just people don't get it yet and just plow through, just keep, keep going. So I think it's just like belief and only for me, like only having plan A, like never having a plan B ever, you know, it's just like, if I believe in it, it's so hard to even get something done that you fully believe in. If you put any ounce of energy into not believing it, or to thinking, planning something else, you're not going to put everything into that. Yeah, when I first got into real estate development, so I was, I moved to LA from San Francisco and I'm driving around and I see all these for lease signs. And it's like Jay Luke's for lease for lease all over LA. And I was like, this seems really dumb, right? So if I bought an asset, so if I'm an owner who has a building and I have a for lease sign up and whether I have investors or not, I'm definitely not making any money right now. And then when the tenant signs up, they have to do their own build out. And so what are the odds of them knowing how to do anything in construction? Zero. I'm just going to make it simple, make it binary. Okay. And then at some point I'm trusting that they'll start paying me rent and that they're going to be operating. And then that this business is going to survive. And I was like, this seems really dumb if I put all of these inputs into a pro forma. And so I said, what if instead of building, instead of acquire building, put for lease sign up to acquire tenant, we just acquire the tenant first, then we buy the building with them, then we do the construction design with them. And then I have a known pro forma. And my only risks here are time, right? Time in the sense of construction might go a little longer.  But other than that, the pro forma is the same. And I was like, I'm going to go do that. And that's literally the thesis makes perfect. And everyone I talked to like makes perfect sense. And I'm like, but why? So yes. You just got someone's got to do it. Yeah. And it's that weird thing where that's how I looked at it. And I think sometimes being an outsider, you have that like fresh perspective that it's like, I think better to be an outsider because you're not constrained by, by anything. And you can just look at it, you know, beginner's mind and why isn't it this way. And then make it. I think it's an asset to be. I think so too. To shift. And that's why I shift every five to seven years in something completely different. Same. I've learned that's also the skill set is like really being an outsider and just reminding yourself to go be an outsider again. Go take another look at a different problem. Having confidence is key too. Yeah. You have to be dominant for a crazy enough. You know nothing again. Like I leave an industry where I'm like an expert to enter one where you're novice. I know nothing. And it's just sometimes it's embarrassing, you know, and it's hard to ask the questions and it's just hard to put yourself out there.  Let's let's play. Let's play future. So in the future, right? So I look at it like this. So you might, I'm not saying you do, but you might have enemies in the space where they're like, oh, but if we, if you are successful, Whole Foods dies, or if you're successful, the farming industry dies, to which I go. Interesting opportunity here. Maybe, maybe you go into Whole Foods in 10 years and there is a huge lettuce grow. And then the consumer is cutting it themselves. And at some point this has made Whole Foods life a little bit better, I would imagine, or at least a value prop is better. And maybe it's not Whole Foods. Maybe it's a lettuce grow grocery store. Well, how do you think about aligning yourself as you scale with companies that might start to really view you as a threat? The way I look at it is, you know, we're going to be lucky if people grow 10 to 20% of their food at home. Those people, it's just like, you know, in the 70s homebrew kits for beer were legalized. Yeah. Did bars go away? Right. You know, did beer, it actually, beer proliferated because it used to just be like three beers and it was all like yellow fizzy water, right? No taste. And now we have like, I don't know, a couple thousand two micro breweries, right? Because people went and tinkered with beer, right? They use different malts and different, I haven't made beer, so I don't know all the different things, but they, you know, they gained an appreciation, right? For the ingredients and the methods. And that gained an appreciation for going to the, you know, there was a demand for better beer. And so I think something similar will happen here is that consumers are going to grow their own food without chemicals. You're going to have this great taste, right? And they're going to go shopping and they're going to say, where did your lettuce come from, right? Or where did this, how far did it take to get here? What was, what were the growing methods? And when people start asking the question, then the answers are going to matter. Right now, nobody even asks a question. And that's why I can't tell you how many times I'll go into a restaurant like a nice, you know, top tier restaurant and I ask where did this come from? And they do not know, you know, they'll have to come back, come back, write it on the little thing and, and, and say, yeah, Whole Foods, I was just kidding. But if more and more people ask, then people will know and if they don't like the answers, they're going to, they're going to go change the answers, right? They're going to go change your supply. So I think that's going to ultimately change the entire food system by getting consumers engaged because nobody wants the chemical food that came from 1500 miles. No one wants it and that will stop. Or can people buy your product? You can buy it online, lettucegrow.com. That was recently on Costco, but you can also get it at Goop. And you just turned 50. So tell me how, how are you reflecting upon this time in your life? I mean, my main, the main thing is I'm just filled with gratitude. You know, I have two beautiful kids, five and six. It's like, I'm so, you know, grateful for that, for them and that experience. And I think more than any, you know, I do a lot of challenging things, but probably most of my growth comes from just being a dad. Yeah, I celebrated my 50th in Maui with a bunch of close, not a bunch, but like, you know, eight really close friends and it was just like, That's awesome. Wow, that's just amazing to have that. So a lot of times, like especially living in LA, I could feel, you know, a little isolated, like driving around everywhere. So, you know, it's not very spontaneous. It's hard to meet and it can feel, feel that way, but just taking time to actually realize like all the good things, you know, all the great things that are there. And I think if just focusing on that, I try to focus on that every single morning, you know, to start the day. Do you have a ritual where you'll like write it down or is it just more of a mental practice?  I'm sure you have it. Five, 30. They're on your face in the morning. Yeah. Right. Mental time's over. It gets a little hard to do that sometimes. That's awesome. Well, look, thanks for coming on the podcast. I really appreciate it. Appreciate the story. I'm a fan. We got to buy some. Yeah.

Hey guys, Jeremy here. It's four days today until Supernatural returns on Friday. It was season 13. Also, by the way, if you haven't gotten me yet They probably might be sold out, but tickets for the last Jedi just went on sale So try and grab them if you can This video, admittedly, the title is a spoiler. Yes but It's something that I need to talk about because this aspect of Season 12 is one of the things that angered me the most and it was the death of Crowley not saying that the British men of letters was the greatest of storylines Honestly, it wasn't in terms of what the brothers have come against before you have to immediately understand or just kind of agree with if not Understand my reasoning of that. They were just a weak villain Humans aren't that big of a thing. We've seen this throughout the show The last time humans were really a threat was season one and that was Benders as well as Gordon Who had to become a vampire to try and kill the brothers and even then that still didn't kill one of the best Deaths of the entire show though. Remember loving that death. That death is so cool. Anyways So there's a lot of things that had a few issues with season 3rd 12 Rick Springfield as Lucifer He was awful. He even apparently from what I've seen in the interviews He said that he didn't watch any of Pelaringo stuff Which totally made sense because he wasn't like him at all. He was just awful The British men of letters things as I mentioned just was a storyline that kind of didn't go anywhere The use of the mother was honestly just an annoying side note There were actually some really cool introduced interesting characters like what's her name? I always forget her name the death girl. She was really cool the the gay brother and the sister Which monster hunters those guys were cool What was another one? There were some other people that were introduced in the season This season actually made me like Rowena, but it killed off Kill off Two characters Castiel who we know is not dead. He's gonna come back somehow.  The whole aspect was they had found this random tear Which was a MacGuffin if I you ever saw one that was created by the the antichrist child thing in biggie So It made this tear They were able to force Lucifer through it when they found out that it was there and they're like hey, we can stop him here It's kind of a random thing that Crowley would know about this because he's like I know how to spell of how to stop it You know that you could have used this idea of getting rid of the brothers for Years if you knew how to in that season season. What was it season 8? Yeah season 8 where he was the villain of the season All he had to do was just put the brothers in an alternate dimension and just never get them back That's all he had to do Like that it's funny that they mentioned The thing that just annoys me is that he had this ability to close a portal in his knowledge this whole time And he never used it against the brothers That's what I mean like that doesn't make sense of how he knows boom I just know how to close this portal even though. I've never used this sort of magic ever before so they go through the portal and They get Lucifer there and Dean shoots him with the angel holy bullet gun thing and Sam and Dean and Sam and Crowley are making the spell. They're doing all the things the thing is In terms of storytelling wise they terribly built this up because they find out about the terror and that's it They talk to Bobby they find out where it is and that is it They then come to see Lucifer arise and they run through the portal We never get any inclination of what their plan was all we know is that they know that there's a portal and that Lucifer falls them through my biggest example of how you do a season finale with twists and turns Well the ending of season 3 where they are building up to taking on oh My god, I cannot remember her name right now But the white-eyed demon the big one who was pretty much Rips Dean apart and then season 5 where they are building up They talk about what they have to do at the beginning about Sam saying yes I'll let Lucifer take control of me and that is how I can then walk through the gate and close it That's the agreement and everything You don't just shoehorn this shit in in two minutes less than that and expect the audience to follow along with You and be fully satisfied with whatever happens, which we weren't at least I wasn't I know a few people weren't Because then all of a sudden Crowley pulls this garbage Well, he stands in front of Mark Pelleringo has this the knife blade, which I swear How does he do that? How does he keep it in his coat cuff link there? Like he just purposely tips it at the very edge like he's holding the knife like it doesn't I'm thinking of actually how They film this like Sam Shepherd is our Shepherd is just got his hand like this like imagine the dagger is right here So he's just holding it right there And he's just like and catches it hope he has to catch it when he lets it go Anyway, so he's got the knife there and Lucifer's like oh, are you gonna use that against me? He's like no and he turns around literally turns around and says my voice and They thought that that was gonna be a Satisfying conclusion. They didn't they clearly didn't because apparently the guy who's Andrew whatever his name is It was the showrunner of the show right now He did not like the Crowley character and admittedly Crowley kind of went from Kind of this anti-hero the guy who didn't know whose side he was on when they first introduced him I loved him when he first introduced like this is more handhound and Then when he became a villain, I kind of I don't know I wasn't on the side with it because I liked Crowley. I like that.  I don't know. I thought it was just interesting that they thought of it But either way so then he goes from being king of hell and then he brings Dean back for reasons he's his friend and They really pacify the character if we're talking about pacification and making a character like basically useless You look at Castiel's history. He is if anything if anyone is more guilty of causing more destruction and apocalypse Causing events. It's Castiel over the brothers But Crowley he doesn't really do much and then they in the last season they have this concept of cast and Crowley being buddy cop duo, which was a kind of an interesting idea They didn't take it really anywhere, but I like that aspect, but admittedly you completely pacified the king of hell so yes, you had run yourself into a rut with the character and What were you gonna do with that? Right?   I like that. He would do that But now that they he's gone We don't have that character anymore and it's gonna be really it's gonna be hollow because now we just have the brothers And they killed off a lot of characters. We lost Jim Bieber who was Bobby for and the season the show itself has always been not as Not as solid since his death that that hurt that took a lot because Bobby was always there to help them figure out stuff And when he died they had that guy who was Jack Sparrow's buddy made or whatever But then that didn't happen either, right? So that was why I just kind of I don't know. I was a little bit upset when obviously I was terribly upset when Bobby died But I mean more so of how they were able to get on without him afterwards didn't seem that much of an issue But that was just me but either way Crowley was one of the worst send-offs of this show's history and For those of you who haven't seen it yet. I apologize for spoiling it, but it was pretty much Garen if you haven't seen it yet, you're not missing out on much seriously It is not a good idea to go into this thinking. Oh, wow. He ruined it. It's like Season 12 is one of those seasons. It's gonna go in common go and you're just kind of it's like season six Or so season seven.  I don't I don't know cuz he brought a lot of humor He brought a lot of funny dark humor to this show like at one point in season 11 I started having Crowley moments and There was so many that he would do like yeah, I always had one I try to get one in every episode with every episode that he was in but anyways, that's all for me I hope you enjoyed this video Please discuss something what you thought of the death of Crowley and what you think the show is gonna do without his presence in the show because obviously now we've got this evangelical white devil dude now who's I'm really feeling a lot of rehashes of season eight just from the trailer that was recently released anyways guys, I hope you enjoyed this video and I'll be sure to be reviewing supernatural come this Friday


What's up you guys and welcome back to my channel. Okay, so I'm in the car. I'm on my way to like one of my family trips. I'm really excited. I'm enjoying my summer, but I wanted to talk to you guys about like some reasons why or why not you should probably not get into PA school or try to get into PA school. I was speaking with an individual yesterday and they, you know, mentioned to me like, Hey, I actually follow you on this on Instagram on YouTube. And I realized, you know what, maybe I should take a pause and not go to PA school. And so I wanted to make this video because those are sometimes difficult decisions to make and, you know, hard choices to make and do, but sometimes they're necessary and you have to be able to be honest with yourself. So let's get into this video and talk about some of the reasons why you may not be ready for PA school. All right, let's have you guys. So like I was saying, I recently was talking to someone and that they informed me that, you know, they kind of just gotten frustrated with the application process of PA school. They had applied a couple times and then they're like, Look, I am done doing this. I just want to apply to a program and get in. So, you know, they decided to not apply to PA school anymore. And that kind of just made some sense to me because I haven't been frustrated to a point where I'm like, Oh, I don't want to apply anymore. I'm not going to apply anymore. However, I have been frustrated to the point where I'm like, You know what? This is this really for me. Like I literally had to like question, ask God like God is this for me. And so in doing that, I want to just kind of talk to you guys about a few things that I have realized that you have to possess. Like there's some characteristics that you have to possess to actually succeed in, you know, higher education specifically, but more so like these healthcare based programs like PA school, med school, nursing, like all of these graduate programs. Okay. So one of like the number one things that you have to do is be focused. Now, when I was in PA school, I literally had a laser focus on my goal. Whenever anything would happen, anything, any problems, any issues that I may have dealt with this life in general, you know, whatever it may be. I would be like, Okay, you know what? What is your goal? You are here for a reason. You're moving, you know, three hours or so away from your home base. Why? What is that goal? Because of that, you have to stay focused because there are going to be times and there are going to be moments when you're like, you know what? This is probably not for me. This is so difficult. Why am I doing this? Like why am I putting myself through this stress? And because of that, you know, you may want to give up. But at the end of the day, you're going to need to be focused and you're going to need to understand like, Hey, this is this is it. This is this is my goal. My goal is to become a PA. And if that is your goal, you have to be focused. If that is not your ultimate goal, if you cannot stay focused, then you know what this might not be for you. The next thing that you need to do is be meticulous in your time management skills. I was a mom, a wife and a student all at once. And you know, obviously this is not something that is novel. There have been people doing it before me. There's people doing it after me.  And all of those various different times are essential and important. You have to be able to understand like, Okay, you know what, I have to study. There were times where I was studying until like two o'clock in the morning, because as many of you know, I sell it, you know, like I observed the Sabbath. And so with respect to the Sabbath, I'm sitting up here and I'm not studying sunset Friday to sunset Saturday because I don't do anything that, you know, doesn't just edify me to bring me closer to God on the Sabbath. And so with that being said, I would feel like, you know what, like, I'm kind of missing out a little bit. There are going to be moments where it's like, All right, I want to study, but I couldn't. And so I had to put that time aside and be like, All right, I am going to not do that. Rather, I'm going to study after sunset on Saturday and manage my time that way go to bed at like two or three wake up in the morning again at like nine. Hit the books one more time and study based on that spend some time with the family with the kids go out, then come back and study you really have to be meticulous and how you share your time and how you spread your time. And then the last thing that I really think that you need to be doing and needs to be understanding is that discipline. P.A. School is hard. If you get into P.A. School, there's no guarantee that you're going to make it through P.A. School. And so ultimately it's about not only getting into the through P.A. School shameless plug for GTC. So go check us out on get that same university.com. But that's, you know, that is our goal and that's our desire with GTC you. But in general, that is what you want. You want to not only get into a program but make it through because you don't want to spend this money because it's a lot of money and you don't want to waste that money by not making it through. And so if you don't have the discipline that you need, you should absolutely, you should absolutely take like a self evaluation and a check and be like, All right, you know what, I absolutely don't have the discipline that I need to make it through P.A. School, even if I were to get in so let's let's not do that. This is not for me. And that's okay. It is okay in understanding that you know what P.A. School is not through or P.A. Program is not for you. I think it's important that that self assessment and make sure that at the end of the day, you're being honest with yourself. Okay. There's a little shade right now because I'm getting an umbrella but really and truly these are kind of some of the things that you really need to be looking at and paying attention to when you're trying to get into P.A. School. So stay focused, have that big time management skills and be disciplined. Okay. If you guys have any other questions for me, please leave them in the comments section below. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel like this video. Follow me on Instagram at Adam at P.A. and on Instagram at Get Best of University. Thank you guys so much for watching. I will talk to you guys next time. Bye.


우리나라가 한국이 아니라 보호자들의 장점은 만나버리지 않습니다. 그 is why we are very much focused on human capital as you know well. Our young generations are eager to challenge for the future technology or future business, so we hope to encourage them for the future. That's why we encourage some projects such as start-up economy or digital innovation economy, 한국인들의 캐릭터리스틱이 있습니다. 한국인들은 빨리 빨리 퀵 and 퀵컬하는 것입니다. 이 캐릭터리스틱은 ICT의 자리에 적용되어 있습니다. third one is government policy, the leader's vision for ICT. KT made a goal to complete the Intelligent Network early so that it will be the pipeline of the fourth industrial revolution. And based on these KT hopes to make Korea be prepared to lead the core technologies of fourth industrial revolution. We believe that this Olympic will be the field that we can show our ICT technologies with the global community. We especially underdeveloped countries, ICT is a very good tool for those countries. Because we just don't want to give money or food. That's only short term assistance. We want to how to catch fish. ICT is a good tool and very good industry for supporting those countries. Many countries request how can develop? What is your suggestion or recommendation for other countries? But my answer is always my answer is if Korea can do it, any country can do it.


for the speed of light, the cloud of dust, and a hardy high old silver, the Lone Ranger. With his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the masked rider of the planes led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. The stories of his strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness have come down to us through the generations, and nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. For the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. Come on, Silver! We're heading for Coffin Corners. Well, Silver! Coffin Corners was a tiny, dusty town like dozens of others in the west, just a few shacks clustered around a waterhole where two trails met. There was little general store that never did much business. Lige Perkins, owner of the store, should have been sour and crabby. But instead, Lige was always looking out for all the distant peaks of the Bison Range, and he was always singing a song. Yeah, those Bison Range mountains sure do look pretty this time of day. Sparkle like gold. Yes, sir. Someday they'll find gold. At least I hope they do. Sunshone so hot I froze to death, Susanna, don't you cry. If there's anybody to sell to. Well, sir, I reckon coming into the shade tells you're usually keen eyesight. Armour customer sells my partner here. My name is Weldon, Colonel Weldon, sir. His name's Jason. Say hi to Mr. Perkins, Jason. Howdy. Howdy, gents. Howdy. Be glad to sell you anything. Food, feed, and firearms. Take your choice. I've got clothes too, but they're might old, and I can see you gentlemen are well-dressed. Well-dressed? I can see you've got a keen sense of humour, sir. We're as ragged as the tag into the Confederate army after Appomattox. But we will be well-dressed mighty soon. Yes, sir. We'll have more money than John Sutter. More money than...   I won't be a farting doer. My mind's made up. I say no. Well, it's mine, and I say no. Nobody else but I... No sense, Jason. There's gold enough for three, gold enough for a dozen. All we need is grub and supply. Now you've done it. Now you've done it. You've bladded it right out. Gold? Did you say gold? There, you see? Dog, dog, gone, dog, gone. Mr... I mean, Colonel, if you were my short of cash to buy supplies and such like, I'd be more than glad to grub steak it. No, no, no. We ain't interested. Jason wants it for all hush your mouth. Mr. Perkins, you're gentlemen, sir. Two gentlemen. Yes, we have found a gold mine. It's up in the bison range. Mark my words, sir. It'll be bigger than the motherload. We haven't worked the mine yet, but... Here, look. Here's one of the nuggets we picked up at the foot of the cliff. Gold? I ask you as an expert, do you ever see a likelier piece of gold or in your natural life? I... No, sir, you never did, never. Because that's the best specimen of gold or ever came to light. Why, Jason, I'll make millions, sir. Millions. We would only. Now... Colonel, nothing's going wrong, has it? Lack of a few paltry dollars. Eh? Just a few hundred dollars to buy supplies so we can go up there and start work and get the gold out. And we haven't got the money. To think that I, Colonel Wildren, formerly owner of 600 miles of... I mean, 600 acres of land at Kentucky worth thousands of dollars. Now I'm reduced to... Colonel, I'll advance you the supplies. You would? Yes, sir. Why, I've grub-staked hundreds of gold prospectors. Hundreds of them. I'll be more than glad to do the same thing for you and your partner. We'll give you a share in the mine, of course, Mr. Perkins. That's usual when someone grub-stakes prospectors. We'll give you a full third in my... No. No, we'd better not. Better not? Colonel... But suppose we're mistaken. Suppose there's no gold there at all. Why, you got this nugget as proof. Yes, but that might be a loose nugget that rolled down from somewhere else. No, Mr. Perkins, I wouldn't want to take your generous offer and then... No, but Colonel, I insist. I've grub-staked before, and I'm willing to do it again. I'll give you 300 worth of supplies. 400. Well, what do you think, Jason? We've got to have supplies, Colonel. He know. Mr. Perkins, sir, it's a deal. We'll allow you to grub-stake us. Sarah, I just grub-staked two gents who have the richest mind since King Solomon's. Sarah, when that gold starts pouring in, we'll... You sold our supplies for a share and another grub-stake. Now, Sarah, don't say it that way. You did, didn't you? Sure I did. Of all the hopeless calf brain digits I ever... Lies, lies, you never learn, do you?  It ain't credit. It's for a share in the mind. Have you ever gotten a cent back from any of those grub-stake deals? Not so far, Sarah, but this particular one... This one, this one, that's all I ever hear. Lies, do you realize when we came here, we had $10,000 to put into a general store? What have we got now? I ain't calculated up for a while. We haven't got a cent, not a single cent. All that's left is this store and what's in it, and those worthless grub-stake papers. Coffin corners. It's the name of this town and it's a fine one for us. This here stores our coffin.  Now, now, Sarah. Oh, I know you mean well, but you're so soft-hearted, Lies. So soft-hearted. I'm positive that Colonel will find gold there, Sarah. He seems such an honorable gent. Mr. Perkins, are you talking about a man who calls himself Colonel Weldon? A cotton thunder, a mask man.  We got a bare cupboard and an empty cash drawer. Oh, no, we not come for that. We come to buy supply and we pay cash. We're friends, ma'am. Pay no attention to my mask. I have my reason for wearing it. And we're on the trail of two confidence men that are wanted by the sheriff of Warsaw County. Your lawman? You might call us that. Donna, will you order the horses? I'll buy what we need. Ah, time to do it. You silver, count. You count. Perkins, as I came in, I heard you mention a colonel. I wonder if... What is it? Nothing wrong? The engine's name is Tonto. Why are you staring at me? Those horses outside. A white stallion and a paint. Well, Sarah, this here is the Lone Ranger. The Lone Ranger? Well, howdy and welcome. Mask, man, it sure is an honor to have you here. But how come you rode into Coffin Corners in broad daylight? I always heard that you stayed away from towns while the sun was up. I want to count that mask, I mean. There's no danger in Coffin Corners, Perkins. The only thing that's left in this town is your store. Yeah, I reckon that's so. Worst luck for us. But to get back to what I heard before, you were talking about a colonel. Is his name Weldon? Why, yeah. Here's a reward poster from the Washoe County Sheriff's Office. Read it. A reward poster? A confidence man wanted. Two men who called themselves Colonel Weldon and Jason are wanted for... for... Lies, is that their description? Yeah, exact. It's them, Sarah. I've been flimflam, not a $400 worth of supplies. That's too bad, Perkins. They'll never get back to Washoe County. I'll have them put in jail right here. You can't put them in jail here, Perkins. I can't? Why not, mister? Because they've committed no crime here. No crime? But what they just did to me... Isn't a crime. Didn't they give you a share in their mind? They never had a mind. Rub staking is a common practice. There's nothing illegal about it. You can't arrest them for that. Lies, the mask man's right. Why, those ordinary carpet-bagging side-winded... If I ever get my hands on them... How long ago were they here, Perkins? This morning, about six hours ago. I don't know what can be done exactly. However, if tunnel I can find them, maybe you'll get your supplies back.  Afterwards, you can tell us which way they headed, and we'll hit the trail after them. Agreed? Take the bright angel trail, mister. You and the engine ought to get them around Pine Ridge. Thanks. Adios, ma'am. Adios, Perkins. Come on, Silver. Adios. Adios. Get enough, Count. Adios. Now, come back in the store, Sarah. Lies, where are you going? To get my gun belt and plenty of bullets. Lies, Perkins.  Sarah, I'm going after those hombres who cheated me. As soon as I saddle my horse, I'm taking the Apache trail for Tomahawk. Those eyes, just a second. Do you mean to tell me those two crooks took the Apache trail? Sure they did. I saw them. But you sent the Lone Ranger and Tonto the other way. They took the bright angel trail to Pine Ridge. I did that deliberate, Sarah. I aimed to get those skunks myself, that's why. What? You mean to send them the wrong way, just so you... Sarah, you heard the mask man. He said the Colonel and Jason can't be arrested for what they did to me. But they cheated me and I'll make them pay. And I aimed to do it my way, myself. Lies, you certainly have changed. He used to be so happy, always singing. Sarah, I've been a worm. But now the worm is turning. When I meet up with those two crooks in Tomahawk, I'm going to pay them off in bullets. Don't wait up for me. They'll kill him and there's nothing I can do to stop it. Lies just wouldn't listen to me. What's that? A horse. Is that you, Lies? No, Miss Perkins, it's Tonto Lies. We go to Pine Ridge, but men aren't there, so we come back. Lies must have gotten his directions mixed. Miss Perkins, wait. Ma'am, you're crying. What's wrong? Lies misdirected you deliberately. Those cheats didn't go to Pine Ridge. They took the Apache trail, not the Bright Angel, they're heading for Tomahawk. And Lies is after him. Why him do that? He plans to settle a fight himself. The guns? He took his gun belt with him. Oh, cameos, hubby. Him not got chance. Well done him, plenty good shot.  I'll never see him again. We'll do what we can. What's that? Our horses are still fresh. They can beat anything on four feet. Aren't that right? Silver and scout get to Tomahawk like flying eagles. Mister, engine, you mean you'll try to save Lies? We get there in time. Keep a prayer on your lips, ma'am. Come on, Tuttle. The Apache trail. I'll pray, mister. I'll pray every single minute. Get him up, scoundrel! Yes, sir, Jason, we've fleeced him proper. You might call it Jason and the Golden Fleece. Plus me, of course. Huh? Don't ever mind, Jason. You aren't up on your mythology. Just a little private jest, that's all. Shall we have another drink? Oh, I don't know why not. We sold Perkins's supplies for $400, Colonel. Colonel? Oh, Colonel, that's rich. I reckon I'm pretty smooth at turning on that poverty-stricken Southern gentleman talk, aren't I? 600 acres in old Kentucky, sir. Loosed everything in the wall. You see before you a broken and beaten man who...  Oh, my cats, Perkins. Yeah, I've been to every cafe in Tomahawk. I knew I'd run into your sooner or later. We're gonna shoot it out right now. Just reach for your guns. Very well, Mr. Perkins. You've asked for it, and I'll give you satisfaction. But there's no need to spoil this wooden floor here. We'll adjourn to the street and start at once. Mr. Perkins, you're gonna die with your boots on. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. To our story, there was a bright moon over the main street of Tomahawk. Word of the gun battle spread like wildfire, and every cafe and hotel emptied as men poured out to line the street. Now, what's it about? Sheriff, this armory cheated me. I'm calling him on it. The moon gives me clear eye on both of you. Seems I recognize you. Aren't you Lies Perkins from over Coffin Cornerway? Yep. This other gentleman. I saw him a stranger in this town. Yeah, so I see. You're low on this town against gunfights? I'm sorry to say there isn't. I hope we get it someday, but right now there isn't much... If you step aside, Sheriff, this man and I will finish our business. All right. But I'll stick around just to make certain this gunfight is conducted fair and square.  I'm on my way, sir. Perkins, you go up beyond the church. Yes, sir, Sheriff. You start walking down the street toward each other and start firing as soon as you've got a mind to. And I'll make certain nobody shoots before you both get to the appointed places. Now, everybody, clear the way. All right. Stand where you are. You, Perkins. I hear you, Sheriff. You've passed the church. Turn around. You there. Kino, now you're facing each other. Now keep your guns in the holsters.  Understood? I understand. Yes, give the word, Sheriff. All right. I aim to get so close I can't miss. Every step brings you near your grave. You can't scare me. I aim to get... Come on, Sylvester. This place is whose outrider? Perkins, you're coming with me. Fast back all the way. There'll be no gunplay. I'm taking you out of town. Didn't you shoot Perkins when you had the chance, Jason? Yeah, the chance didn't come. I had to wait until somebody drawed a gun, didn't I? There were plenty of shots. Sure, but all from that masked man. Oh, well. At least we're rid of Perkins. He'll be gone from here in a few hours. I wonder who that masked rider was. I don't know. I never saw him before. Didn't get a good look as it was. He was in and out like card-sharp fingers. Where is the Perkins? Where lights Perkins? Sir, what do you want, engine? Am I right? He part. Where lights Perkins? You mean the Perkins who runs a general store at Coffin Corners? Ah, that him. Me bring good news. Him on big gold strike. What? Ah, rubbed stock there. Take claim. Other men die. All belong to Perkins. Me come to tell him. Here, here, here. Come on, now. Come on, tell us about it. Let's have the whole story. Sure. Good for Perkins. It's about time he had some luck. Tell us about it, engine. Nothing more to tell. Too bad Perkins, him not here. Me right. Plenty hard. Better head for Coffin Corners, engine. I'll meet too tired. Me go and morning. You get good news. Wait for them, huh? Now, we got out without being noticed, Jason. Come with me. What's this all about? Come along. We'll have to move fast. Now listen, Jason. We move fast enough we can get that gold mine for ourselves. Huh? I figured it all out inside. The Indian gave the location. 600 yards due south of Eagle Rock near Buffalo Pass. You know it. Sure, I could go there blindfolded. That's up in the bison range. We've been there plenty of times. But we can't just walk in and take the gold. Oh, no, Jason. No, indeed. You know me. You will do this legal. You local. No far from it, Jason. My boy far from it. But Perkins owns it. Yes, yes, he does. Owns it completely. You heard the Indians say his partners were dead. But remember this, Jason. Perkins doesn't know about it. Huh? He hasn't been told yet. And the Indian isn't leaving to tell him until the morning. Oh, I'm still not clear.  Look, Perkins has grub-staked hundreds of prospectors, hasn't he? Sure. That's why it was such an easy mark for us. And he still will be, my boy. He still will be. Don't you see? Perkins has all those hundreds of grub-stakes. He never realized a thing on one of them. Now, in addition to the money we got when we sold those supplies, we have a lot more cashed away. We're leaving to get that money, Jason. Then we're riding to coffin corners to talk to Perkins. And as soon as he sees you, he'll reach for a gun. Now, you know me better than that. I'm a smooth talker, Jason. You wait and see. When I talk to Perkins, butter won't melt in my mouth. That's you, sir. Lies, you sure it's good to see you so happy again. I never thought I would. I was a pretty big food guest, sir. Masked man saved my life, I reckon. I'm eternally grateful to him. So am I, sir. So am I. And you're so cheerful. You mean that swindle I fell for yesterday? I thought that was the final straw, Lies. That Colonel Weldon and the other. Yeah, sure are a couple of coyotes. Oh, well, no. Since crying over spilled milk. You mean you finally learned your lesson. From now on, sir, I tend strictly to business. Yes, sir, he's strictly to business. No. Why, Sarah? No, Shucks. Because I'm so happy. I'm not crying. I reckon we'll make out all right after all. Sure will, sir. See, hasn't you better get back to kitchen. Those biscuits might work. Oh, gracious, I clean forgot. Yes, sir. And remember... Morning, Jen. Something I can... Well, I'll be... Not just a minute, Perkins. Hold your horses. Let go. If I get my hands on my gun... Perkins, please. We came back to ask your pardon. You... you come back to what? Yes, Mr. Perkins, you see before your two reformed characters. Two reformed? Well, one of much is local. I mean it. I mean it from the bottom of my heart, sir. So do I, Perkins. We own up. We cheated you, sir, and we've come back to make amends. Mr. Perkins, last night, after you left. Well, Jason and I went into the church in Tomahawk. Before we came out, we realized how wrong we'd been. Isn't that so, Jason? Yes, sir, it's a solemn truth. For a couple of gents as ornery as we used to be, a telly... Yes, yes, yes, of course. Perkins, we offer you the hand of friendship. Well, now that... Say, what about those supplies you squintled out of me? We're gonna give you that money back, every bit of it. Well, I... I don't know what to say. Sir, we ask your forgiveness. Well... Oh, I reckon I never was one to hold a grudge. If you say you're... Jason, Jason, you hear that, my boy? We've been forgiven. Mr. Perkins has reached into the bottom of his heart and found forgiveness there. Sir, here's your money. And what's more, Mr. Perkins, we're gonna give you more money right here and now. We feel the only way to make full payment for the wrong we did is to do something for you. Uh... Test your bread upon the water, and it returns twofold. Yes, yes, that's it. Well put, Jason, my boy. Well put. We have more money for you, Mr. Perkins. I don't accept money for nothing. Oh, but we insist. If you refuse to accept the money alone, well, give us something in return. For example, sir, you have a lot of grub-steak notes. Oh, they're all worthless. Oh, you can't be sure of that, Mr. Perkins. You can't be sure. Now, suppose we give you, say, $500 in return for one of those claims. Just spread them out on the table. We'll take our pick. That's fair enough, isn't it? Sara! Get your bonnet on. We're taking a ride.  A ride? But the store... We'll lock it up. We got to celebrate, Sara. I just took in $900 cash money. Look at my biscuits. Never mind your biscuits. Get your bonnet. Yes, sir, we'll take a ride. And I think we'll head up into the Bison Range. Up near Buffalo Pass and Eagle Rock. Mighty nice country up there. Mighty nice. Well, there's no gold here. Welton, that Indian got it wrong. This place hasn't even been worked. I don't understand it, Jason. Are you sure this is the place? Oh, it's the exact location. We've been took, Welton. That claim you got from Perkins isn't worth a penny. Well, I'll be... And he got $900 cash from us for the... Go right ahead, gents. Don't stop working the count of us.  I reckon he was a busy digger. He didn't hear us right up, eh? You find any gold, Perkins? There was any gold here. It was all a trick. I'm not telling Sarah about it on the way up here. But you, gents, shouldn't mind.  He's reaching for his guns. Oh, my hands. Somebody shot my hands. Oh, I'll be the mask man. You're not hurt. The gun was shot from your hands. Just keep your hands in the air and get on your horse. Welton. Welton, that Indian with the mask man. He's the one who was in Tomahawk last night. That's right. Use plenty smart ombre, huh? You're not so smart now, huh? You're not so smart now, huh? Ha, ha, ha. You get on horse pronto. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Where you taking us? Sheriff of Warshow County, won't you, man? Donald and I are taking you to his jail. But it's not legal. I protest. You can't arrest us unless we're in the county where the crime is committed. That's right, Welton. That's why we're taking you in, huh? What's that? That's why we picked this particular claim. The ground you're standing on is Warshow County. Now get going. Ah, you go. Go. Adios. Adios. Lige. Lige, did you see the look on those crossbases? Standing right in Warshow County, they never knew it. Lige, will you stop laughing and listening? Sure, I can't stop. I reckon I'll laugh every time I think of it. Yes, sir. For a couple of smart confidence men, those gens sure got the woolpull over their eyes when they met up with a lone ranger. Yes, sir. I'll see you there.

When it comes to this, understand how a person deals with judgment and shame. And this is one of the most revealing things about people. It shows either what they're trying to conceal about themselves or what they're trying to display a lack of by judging other people projecting it. And when it comes to shame, we all have some kind of shame. Everybody walks around with some. And when you get to a point where you can observe how someone hides or conceals their shame, that's a big deal. When they conceal it from the public, you know more about them than they probably know about themselves. And the ways that they conceal shame can tell us a lot about their core beliefs and their self-esteem and what they value the most. So if you're ever perplexed or confused about this and you can't figure somebody out, go back to this, write this one down. What does this person do with judgment and shame?


Hi, welcome to the Venezuela Pavilion. My name is Juliano. Well, I'm gonna make you the guy to the pavilion. So here the expo, what are we greeted with at the entrance? What is the symbolize? Well, the main concept of the pavilion is the design of this sound frequency. And they belong to the one of our most popular songs is like a second national anthem. We call it Alma Janera. It's like a soul from the savannah. So what you see behind me is the sound frequency of the beginning of this song. And it's what you can see outside of pavilion and the colors and the shape of this sound wave. It's also inspired in a group of artists from Venezuela that they do kinetic art. So they are very colorful and they do this kind of like they play with your perception. Yeah, there's a brief about what you will find in the pavilion and what you will find in the country. Venezuela is one of the 17 mega diverse countries in the world. Not only geographically, but also cultural. And that is what it's all about in the first row. What does it mean mega diverse? It means we have, you can go ahead. It means we have cultural heritage for many places. And also geographically, we have many, many different biosystems which make us a very diverse country. And I will explain you this in the next room. Here what we're trying to show is all the different kinds, color, skin, faces and bodies of the Venezuelan people. We are very proud of our diversity. So we have cultural heritage for the indigenous people from our country, from Africa, from Europe, from Middle East. And everybody is equal. Everybody is equal and we are very proud of what we are as a nation. And we are like, we gave very really importance to all of these different cultural heritage. So there's big, big screens in there showing this. And then where are we going to here? Okay, so this is a brief about four regions of Venezuela. Geographical regions, but also cultural. Because what we are trying to show here is these four regions connect us to the entire continent. For example, what you are seeing now is the Caribbean Sea. Venezuela is the northest country of Latin America, of South America. So all the north of the country is the Caribbean coast. And that's not only beautiful beaches and islands, but also a culture.  Almost, there's different languages there. So it's one of our most important tourist places in our country. Have you produced this graphic, this big video? Yeah, it's produced in Venezuela also. And the design of the screens also, it's everything from Venezuela. So you have a lot of artists and designs and technology in the country? Yeah, I think like every country. Venezuela is a very modern country. Most of the population lives in the cities. So we have as many designers and videographers and movie makers as I think any country in the world. So what you can find here is now the tropical savannah. This is the center of the country. So this is where we have this cowboy culture that is very, very typical from all America. From Canada to Argentina, so every country has their own traditions. But it's a culture linked to the horse, to the cows, to the landscape. And this is what we are showing here. And also we are part of the Amazon Forest and the Andes, which is a chain of mountains that goes across from Argentina to Venezuela and end up in the Caribbean Sea. So we are part of Los Andes, which means an entire and very important culture from South America. And we have high mountains, we have snow, we have a little part of the Amazon Forest. So we have the Caribbean Sea. We are part of the cowboy culture of all America.  So Venezuela is known to have a little bit of everything. We have lots of wildlife, birds and many, many species of animals. I think Venezuela is one of the countries that has more natural reserves in the world. How vast are those natural reserves? How big are we talking? Some of them are really, really large. One of them is almost the size of Great Britain. And some of them are smaller, but we have plenty. In every region of the country we have many, many national parks which preserve our natural environments and the animals and rivers. And you have mountains? Yeah, we have snow. 1,200, that's pretty. Yeah, almost 5,000 meters is a tallest mountain. And we have the longest and the tallest cable train in the world. So you can go to this mountain and play with the snow and be a little wild there. You can ski? No, we don't have enough snow to ski, but you can climb. And there are really good spots to climb there in Venezuela. So the professional climbers are good customers, they come often? Yeah, in Latin America and South America you have tallest and more difficult mountains. So we are not the preferred destination for climbers. I think Ecuador and Argentina and Chile has Peru also. Venezuela has the youngest part of Los Andes. So it's a little bit like the Alps. Yeah, it's like the Alps, it's like Chain of Mountain or like the Himalayas. Many countries have a piece of Los Andes. How many people in Venezuela? Almost 33 million. We are a small population for the territory we have. We have a million and 200 kilometers square. So we are a very big country. 33 million is a lot. But you have nearly like France or something? No, France is a third of the territory or less. And they have I think, I don't know, 60, 70 million. So this room shows our national resources. Venezuela has been for more than 100 years an oil producing country. But recent research told us that we are the number one reserve of diamonds in the world. And the second reserve of gold after Australia. Where do you have the gold? Over there. And what is this one? Cobalt. That's an average smartphone. Yeah, in every smartphone you can find, in the battery you can find cobalt. In my camera. Yeah, in your camera also. On my microphones. It's very important for the modern industry. We have lots of cobalt. As much as Congo? No, not as much. No, but we have the number one reserve of heavy oil in the world. It's the biggest crude reserve in the world, no? Yes sir. Bigger than Saudi? Bigger than every country. But it's bigger, yes. And it's heavy oil. So it's a little bit more difficult to produce, but not to produce, to mine. To mine, yeah. Actually as far as I understand, many oil, what do you call it, petrol providers need the crude with their, what do you call it, they have to mix it to actually make it usable. Yes. And that process we have to make it in Venezuela, or at least part of that process, because we need to get this oil out to the ports. So it's really thick. So we make the first, like, how do you call it? The first version, the first stage. Because we need to liquefy the oil, so the oil gets to the pipes and we send it to the ports, and then it continues the way to other countries. Couldn't you just have the pipe going up north to the countries up there? Well, it goes by ship. By ship? Yeah, by ship. You could have the pipeline going all the way down. I think we guess we were building a pipe to the south, to Brazil and Argentina, yeah. The big customers? Yeah, they are big allies. In that moment, at least, now the relations, they are not that good. And that project, I think, it was the main, like, the ones that go ahead with the project is Venezuela. I wouldn't want to get into, there's so much politics with this, and with your friends in USA and stuff, they need to, they want to buy oil, don't they? Yes, they want. Why don't they just, like, make a deal and buy it and stuff? Well, I wish it was that easy, yeah. For many years, US was our first client, like, previous to the Second World War. It was our first client already. But for many years, they have so many power in Venezuela that our legal system made that we only win 3% of all the oil that comes out of our country. Which is a percentage that no country will accept, never. So 3% profit margin? Yeah, only for Venezuela, being the owners. So you cannot accept that kind of deal. So we make some changes in our oil policy, and then we start winning, I think, almost 30%, which is a little bit more fair. And we have the condition that every company that wants to produce oil, to mine oil in Venezuela, they need to make a new company with Venezuela. And in every company, we will have at least 51%, because the oil belongs to the Venezuelan people. Well, and that is not very pleasant for many people and countries and companies, but I think it's fair. What do other countries do? Like, let's say the Emirates or Qatar or Iraq or what is the percentage that they keep? I'm not an oil expert. I know some things about our... I know the secrets, right? Yeah, of course, of course. It's a very complex industry, the oil. But, well, we are trying... For example, at this moment, we cannot sell our oil because we have US sanctions. So we only sell it to countries that I think only in my personal opinion, sorry, they have enough power to not be afraid of the United States, Russia, China... But China and Russia is so far away. Is there a problem not to ship all this stuff over there? I mean, I think the main... I think it's not about quantity of the oil reserves in Venezuela, or at least not only about that. But the fact that it's very near to the United States, so the shipping cost goes really, really down. If you consider taking oil from the Middle East and then consider the cost from taking it from Venezuela, it's, you know, really, really close. I hope you figure it out and just make some kind of pipeline or something. A deal with the Americans just become like friends somehow. Yeah, Venezuela has never had the intention to be in a fight with the United States. Like I told you, they were our primary clients. And for us, it's also benefit because it's not only close to the United States, it's close for us. As producers, we have refineries in the United States also. Now, they took it away from us, but we have refineries in the United States that belong to Venezuela. And they refine oil only for the United States. And we have never had a position of... Like we don't want relations with the United States. What we are trying to make a point is we want relations that to be fair. And we are not going back if they are not fair. And who decides who is fair? Well, the people that has the oil. So you have a lot of oil, but hopefully you also have other things, right? We have many other resources. You need to not just rely on this source of potential future revenue, right? Yeah. Not Venezuela and not any country must depend on one resource. Not any man or woman or family must depend on one resource. That is very fragile. And I think our economy shows the fragile of being dependent on one resource. So we are trying to explore some other things. Not only minerals, but vegetables and animals. And zinc. Yeah. So there is a lot of minerals, mineral wealth, silver, gold. How much gold did you say there would be? We are the second reserve of gold after Australia in the world. And you know exactly where it is? You can just go and take it from the ground? Yeah. In fact, I think ten years ago the state made a company to try to industrialize the gold. Surely China would like to buy a whole bunch of tons, right? Everybody. Not only China. Everybody. We cannot commerce with a variety of countries that we will want to, because the US doesn't let us or doesn't let them actually to buy anything from the US, from the Venezuela. What is the issue of water here? Well, many people don't think of water as a resource. But it is one of the most important. And Venezuela, I think if I don't get it wrong, is the ninth country with fresh water reserves. Not only in the surface, but on the ground also. What do you do with all this fresh water right now? Well, we drink it, we… You export it? No. Just for Venezuela? Yeah. Only for Venezuela and for now. And it's for, you know, our rivers. We have lots of rivers that our biosystems depend on this water. With fish? Yeah. And the oil industry takes a lot of water also. Coffee. Before we went to an oil-producing country, we were one of the biggest export countries of coffee and cacao. And our cacao and our coffee is on the top list of the best cacos and coffees in the world. So we are trying to get this back in the dimension it should have. For now, it's small families that have brands of very good chocolate and coffee. What is a brand of the good Venezuelan chocolate? Well, let's see. Do you have partnerships with Switzerland, send them the cacao, and they make the cacao? With Switzerland, with Italy, with Belgium. But not the state, I think, not now. Yeah, the company. Our cacao goes to Switzerland, Belgium, France, Italy, many places. So many of the chocolate that the world is eating, it comes from cacao from Venezuela, yeah. All right. And there's a lot more around here. And then flowers, tropical fruits. But the most important resource is humans, right? Yeah, of course. So what do you talk about the human resource in Venezuela? What do you say about that? Well, Venezuela is a very young country. We have the percentage, I think, we are like the percentage of age is 27 years old. So we are a very young country. 27? Yes, 27 is the average age. So we are on the, how you say...  That's like some cities in China where everybody only goes there to work in a factory and that's a little bit unnatural. But you have it as a natural average age, 27. I don't know the explanation of this. Perhaps in all South America you have a similar percentage, average. So we are a very young country. We have lots of resources and we have a very resistant population, very creative population. Very kind and very... I think it's not easy for a Venezuelan to be like totally sad or depressed. We always are trying to move things and change things and create things. So I think that's our best value. What is creativity going on here? All this room is inspired by a group of artists from Venezuela. They work with kinetic art. This is a replica of a work of art by Jesus Soto, which is an important artist from Venezuela. He's one of the most important artists from the Kinetic Art Group. And there we have a work of art from Juvenal Ravello, which is an apprentice. He was an apprentice of Carlos Cruz Díez, which is, I think, the biggest name in this group of artists. So he came here, he gave us the work for the pavilion, and he came here. He was a week with us here. He gave us the work, but he left it on complete on purpose in the center because he liked people to participate in the finishing of this art. So he came to the pavilion, and with the visitors he finished this work. Where does the door go to the future? There's a storage. For what they told me, it's only to try to take away just a little part of this work of art. The colors and the shapes are also inspiring in this group of Kinetic Artists. The idea is to make different shapes. It's a mobile stage for the bands and the musicians of Venezuela to come here. How often do you have concerts going on during the expo? Well, for a week. In our national day it was the 7th of November. And now we are expecting more musicians to come here. Is the World Expo an opportunity for Venezuela to speak with all the countries in the world and find new solutions to all the weird problems that are going on? Yes, of course. It's a window to let us see, to make Venezuela visible to other countries. It's of course an opportunity for every country. So there are meeting rooms and stuff like that somewhere around here where people go sit down and start talking with the heads of state that come by or something like that? Yes, of course. Like in every pavilion we have rooms for the visitors who want to just stay a little bit and talk about Venezuela. What is the music we're hearing? It's a group of songs that some of our musicians made for the pavilion. Alright, thanks a lot. Thanks for the tour. You're welcome. You're welcome anytime you want to the Venezuela pavilion. And how can people get to Venezuela? Are there flights going from a whole bunch of countries? Not right now a whole bunch of countries, but you can go to Venezuela as any other country. It depends. Like any country, it depends. I think, I don't know how you say it, a bilateral thing. If I need visas of Venezuela to go to one country, they need visas to come to our country. So it depends. Where are you from? And what is the relation between your country and Venezuela? There are direct flights from Europe? Yes, I think so. From Spain. From Madrid maybe? Yeah, perhaps I think so. And otherwise people can fly from all the countries around? Yeah, one of the most important airports in the region is the Panama airport. If you go to Panama, then you can go to Venezuela and to many places. It's very near, right? Maybe it's a cheap flight from Panama? Yeah, it's very near. I think one hour and something. Alright, thanks a lot. You're welcome, sir.
