What if they die they're children all and all is one You have one month to figure out what that means one is all always one the answer and the allotted time If not, you're headed back to Risenburg One little dagger. That's all they have brah.  It's about the spirit not about like technical training This is the best way for them to learn the essentials of alchemy I'm teaching them the same way that I was taught if they don't learn anything from this It means their talent as alchemists will be limited And I'll have to give up on them as pupils. It's all about the spirit. Yeah Whoa, it's not their education. I'm worried about their lives could be in danger on the same wavelength My training began with the whole month and the Briggs Mountains in winter. Oh my gosh.  Are they? It's giving them like sad eyes Dude, I couldn't I wouldn't be able to I wouldn't Just a little bunny Oh, thank goodness. Oh the fox did the dirty work now. It's the food chain That's Fish maybe I could yeah, I could eat fish they can pale it like a spear or something It's tough. That's what you see them like with spears because it catches them off guard comes through the water so quickly Here we are. You got a little shelter Oh four days, I think that's why they had four scratches dang dude That's tough. There will shants be broken six days. Oh, I know foods and six dude. You can survive I can feel how hot it is. Texas heat, dude Bruh, don't eat out. You can't eat out It's your brother. What are you trying to do to me? You won't need it later Al. Trust me Oh, dude. No, dude. No Brother I was like he's lost it He's just forcing himself to What it what was it the title one is all all is one Do you seem like to do out? Like how life produces more life the life supports other life.   I could never do it and to keep the fire going Wow, they don't have much food either Generous tomorrow be one month. Yeah, don't they need the answer before they get off the island? One is all I still only have a few vague ideas one for life I'm not really sure about this all for one. Do you remember when I was weak from hunger? One life supports all and everything supports one And boy, did they taste nasty and that got me thinking I hadn't even I hadn't eaten them I might have died then I would have been eaten by them went to the earth and become grass And the rabbits would eat that talking about the food chain, right? Yeah It's not just more than just a food chain long time ago This whole island was probably at the bottom of the sea in tens of thousands of years from now It could be the peak of a mountain for all we know all things are connected Is that what you're saying everything we see everyone we meet is caught up in a great unseen flow Wow, that's deep. It's the entire world the entire university compared to something as big as that Al you and I are tiny not even the size like the insignificance of humans in comparison of the universe is very existential But by putting all those ones together you get one great all just like teacher said The flow of this universe follows laws of such magnitude that you and I can't even imagine All I figured it out. Let's hear what you've learned about one is all and all is one all is the world and one is me Very well now the real training. Why did she laugh? Maybe it's just because of how simplistic they put it when she just like The basis of transmutation is the power of a circle which denotes the circulation of power In order to call for reading while training this reminds me of structural makers He's a child ma'am Dang she's intense She's very intense Reviewing the morning's lessons until lunch is ready in order to call upon and harness this power One must draw a structural matrix over the circle Dang, Al a teacher. You just put your palms together to perform transmutations You can do it without drawing the structural matrix. So can I read now a certain way? I myself am the matrix. How do you do it? Tell us teacher. She had the marking. I saw a marking on her Perhaps it's something you learn when you see the truth Wait, that's one of the intro isn't it? Our teacher has seen the truth too Hmm Sing just lifting Dang, dude. What is it you wanted to ask me? Well, is she facing the wall? Whoa Maybe she wanted to see how talented he was as I suspected you can transmute without a matrix On top of which Al is now a suit of armor and two of your names are made from auto man. How did you know? Please I can tell from sparring with you. You saw it. Didn't you edwin? That's how you can transmute without Saw what? It seems both of us are beyond help teacher. You saw it too. Could you tell me? What was it? Oh that place. Oh, that's where he was. Oh, okay Yeah, that was right. That was right when he was trying to bring his mother back He went to that place and that was what gave him the power to be able to do the other circle So she tried to bring someone back too Is that what causes it trying to bring someone back like that? Ha Understand We wanted a child but couldn't conceive when we were finally able to conceive I ended up falling gravely ill. Oh my god And our child as well. He was not able to take a living breath in this world I committed the taboo as a result.  Yeah, I realize I should have told you sooner It must have been awful and he can finally meet someone that understands him now I did it to my son. He's met her but I mean like hasn't been that big a deal actually Now I've got this long list of things I get to look forward to eating Man smiling through the pain.  I really really liked that a lot I'd like to know your guys thoughts on her because I know we just we just kind of got introduced to her And met her but I really like her character because I guess it's someone that they're able to relate to They've never known anyone throughout their lives that has had that kind of experience like them So and now we also know why he's able to do it without a circle because he was the one that tried to bring her back And he went to that place that doesn't really still make sense But I mean we'll find out eventually. I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your day as per usual And I'll catch you in the next one

Oh. I'll tell you a story. But we are Vokebuda. Welcome, Vokebuda. I do a lot of things. I'm a comedian. I am a cook. Yes. Hi. You make up say I am a cook. Yes. I'm a cook. Really? Yes.

Layas and Basada. Yes. That's Ndizi, Mandizi and Matoke. Matoke, yeah. That's your name. Yes. Hey! So you can tell where I come from directly. Clearly. Okay. Okay. Wow. What do you do, sir? Matoke.

My handle is... Matoke Patrick Osebe 01. Slowly. Matoke Patrick... Uh-huh. 01.  I want you to say how.  Uh-huh. Down to whatever. Okay. On Facebook and Twitter and all those things. I'm on a rep for Matoke. Wow. Yes. I have three handles. So it's on a rep for Matoke 01. Uh-huh. On a rep for Matoke Patrick. And the youth ambassador in Matoke. Because I have many friends so I have 12, 3. Why? Yes. Wow. Yeah, wow. I'm very excited to meet all of you. I did not expect such lovely personalities. Okay, let's get straight to it. What do you think is a working relationship before we figure out if long distance works or not? Queen, can I start with you? Yeah. Yeah, what do you think a relationship that works looks like? Okay, personally, I think a working relationship. Uh-huh. There's the emotional support. Uh-huh. And there's the physical presence. Uh-huh. Okay, when I get mad at someone, when I'm at my lowest point on to get someone in their house, someone that can comfort me, someone that I can talk to, I really don't like making calls. I'm lazy on that and I don't like texting. So I think the physical presence and the emotional support is working. It's important for you. Yeah. You need to see... Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, see, doctor, you need to be at the corner and you need to be at the table. You need to be at the table. Hey. Okay, at least during 24 hours, I have to see you somewhere. In the clinic. Yeah. You need to have a appointment somewhere in between. Wow. What do you think a working relationship is? About long, long distance, I think love is all about a feeling. Love that feeling. So it's not about to be close to somebody. Somebody can be somewhere, maybe in the UK, but it's all about love. It's a feeling you have in your heart and I think the goal for that distance relationship mostly is for marriage. That's my point of view. Okay, first, before we go any further, I have a couple of people who might disagree with you. Love, we don't... We have come to the conclusion before on such platforms that love is not a feeling. Love is a verb. It's things that you do. Because feeling is coming. We do not agree with each other. We do not agree with each other. You're feeling not relaxed. We do not agree that love is a feeling. Love is a verb. Love is action. And that's my next question. When your significant other is in the UK, or wherever they are, what are you doing in the name of love during that space? Like, do you have another person who's giving you entertainment? Like, you just anticipate seeing them once a year. Or what does it mean? How does it work? I think for me, I have friends. We can have fun, I have girlfriends. They're not just boyfriend, I have girlfriends. Girls, who are your friends? Girls are my friends. Girls are my friends. Girls are my friends. We just go hang out. We have something. I think that one keeps my mind... Sometimes, I just get comfortable. But just to ask about... Maybe to differ with what he's saying, he just said love is a feeling. Okay, I've been watching so many movies lately. And I fall in love with characters every time. So I don't know. Alejandro. Joseph Morgan, Keith Harrington. Those are my crushes. But people that I wish I would... Okay, I'd love to meet them. So my question is, am I in love or am I fantasizing? Because you just said... Am I only long-distance? Do you want to come back here? And then I have my 24-hour schedule. Just you're crushing on someone. That is not love.  You wish. That's your wish. But you've seen something with that person. That makes you want to be close to him. To him, maybe. You just wish him. That's a fantasy. Let me say it. That's a fantasy. People that I wish I were in love with, they are more likely to be in a long-distance relationship because of... We like the idea of fantasy, the idea of perfectness, if it is what it is. But if it is what it is, we communicate in all these things. It might be true, it might not be true. I'd like you to answer me that. But I don't know one thing. So if you want to go out with your friends who are girls that you go have a good time, it takes... I went to the UK, and she sees a picture of you with five girls around. How? She doesn't know. Let us prefecture. Let us. Let us prefecture my brother. You cannot tell me that I hang out with other girls. How? We are out there. What are you doing, hang out with girls? For example, I'm with them and other friends. Who are guys, who are men. And then you are telling me that now, we are just hanging out here with them. We are doing nothing. That is impossible. Because the one is holding your hand. Let's take a selfie. Hey, hey, hey. How do you feel about this? First of all, let me define relationship. Relationship basically is intimacy and affection that you have between somebody, somebody that you love. And then about long-distance relationship. You know, I personally, I can accept to do long-distance relationship. For example, let's say I'm working in Mombasa and my girlfriend is in Nairobi. Each and every weekend she can be coming and visiting me. We have fun together. And she come back and I keep the communication and everything through social media, WhatsApp. To text, to goodnight babe. Good morning. You know ladies love, love, love attention. They love being communicated to each and every day. It's true. If you're not giving it to her, someone else is. Someone else will. But okay, one thing. I have a friend actually. She had a guy who was in US. But back in Kenya, she had another good. They used to live together. But the guy in US used to send rent. But she was already living with the other guy. So the rent money was somehow a pocket money. And the guy came back, they got married. Wow! A week later, she went back to US and then left the lady back. They were back on her ball. Back on her ball, she lied to the other girl. That it's his? Yeah. Oh God, Buster. That's me back when I'm pregnant. I mean, surely. It's not about love. It's not about your physical presence here. Okay, we all talk about being in love. We all talk about that. But there is that physical presence. And then, okay, maybe we've been together for two years. And then we've been intimate for the two years. And then all of a sudden, you've gone to UK or somewhere else for a whole year. You see, I don't know when you're next to a guy who's like, I don't know. You don't feel anything. That is lying. It's not called self-control. Yeah, you talk about self-control like for a month or two and then later things will catch up with you. You touch it the first time and you'll regret. The second time, you'll regret. And the third time, you'll know. The boyfriend doesn't know.  What are you talking about? No, I'm sorry, I'm shy. Hey! Wow. I'll go. Before you continue. You try to tell us that we should not date. We should not date ladies who are far or men who are far. No, he had a nice idea, by the way. And he said, ma, I'm working in Mombasa in Nairobi. I go for a week. You come over for the weekend. You go to the tenant for a week. It works. Your weekend, weekend, really, it works. But don't tell me to make a tattoo. And I'm still back at home waiting for you. Our moms used to do that, by the way. Our mothers used to do that. And our aunties and our grandmothers. Then what happened to this generation? This, okay. But we don't know. We're saying the girls' child have been empowered enough. But now, to make it our right. Make it our right. We're so nervous, you're doing it. No, we don't know. We've known our right to society. Okay, we went to the school for four years to do your degree. The guy went for four years to do the degree single. But back at home, when I was at home, I didn't feel like your degree was short-term or if I didn't feel like I didn't feel like I didn't. No, now we know. We went for four years, I went for four years. So, easy for you to do. Me? So now you're feeling like you're at Pearl with a man. So, you can do what a man can do. Yeah, and he can do it better. He knows how to cheat. He can cheat better than he does.


What's up, coaches? Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we have Saul Isaacson Hearst. He's the owner of MyPersonalFootballCoach.com. He is an international trainer. He's worked with some of the top professionals in the world, and he's worked with several youth academies that are tied to the English Premier League. There's so much to learn in this interview. He talks about how he starts one-on-one training business and how he expanded that into an online virtual training business. So if you are a trainer, pay close attention to this interview. I think you can learn so much with just how he thinks, how he operates, and he shares a lot of wisdom in this interview. I started coaching really properly after university. I went to America for a couple of years to do coaching in America. So I didn't know what to do after uni. I was captain of the university team. A friend of mine had gone out there. So I went out there originally for a summer, and that's been two years in America. I really loved it. Coaching every day, all different age groups, a lot of time on the grass really sort of honed my skills as a coach. He taught me pretty much the basis of a lot what I know. While I was out there, everyone in America does privates as they call that individual training. So when I came back to England, sort of brought that with me. I started a company called PDA Football and was doing some camps and stuff, and then quickly realized that it was a real saturated market. You compete with a lot of like clubs and that sort of thing and problems with venue hire and nightmares like that. And I was just, this wasn't really working then.  So I just sort of pivoted to really focus on that really, and I sort of became, carved that niche out and became quite good at it. It became known as like getting a lot of players signed to academies, and then got a job at Tottenham as well. I worked my way up into the academy and then spent six years there and then four and a half years at Chelsea as like an individual skills specialist while always doing an individual coaching. And then about five, six years ago, I started My Personal Football Coach, which was just really an extension of PDA Football. PDA Football was really individual one-to-one coaching. My Personal Football Coach is like online, you know, an app basically. It started as well as like an app, like remote online individual coaching. So specifically for individual players. And then left Chelsea just to really focus on the business because I was too busy because I was traveling a lot around the world. I couldn't really commit. And now I see My Personal Football Coach used all around the world, tens of thousands of users, clubs such as Arsenal Wolves, Middlesbrough, West Brom, Birmingham, several other clubs using hundreds of grass street clubs around the world use it. Obviously individuals and that sort of thing. So now I pretty much do that. I do a lot of consultancy as well with clubs through the app. And I still have a small client base of individual staff and mostly pros and aspiring academy players. So are most of your clients in person or are they remotely on through the app? No, no. The app is basically, you know, you sign up, it's a free app. You can use it for free and you download all the challenges and you can then, you know, buy courses on there and stuff like that. So I don't work online with players. It's just you go there and you download the practices and you're trained by yourself basically in a lot of different things in there. The stuff I do individually with players is still, you know, in person when I do it. Perfect. Excellent. So you that have been coaching at quite a high level and for a while now, what would you say a really good quality private training session looks like? Listen, I mean it's just like a team session really.  It's a lot of bits about tempo. You know, what I mean by that is that, you know, making sure it's really the speed of the progressions and the player never gets opportunity to get bored. You know, you've got to train particularly when you train individually at high intensity. I think if you're a better player because, you know, you don't have that opposition. So you really got to challenge yourself another way. So that's really about speed and spaces and stuff like that.  I don't use ladders because I think they're a gimmick. I think, you know, if you look at the highest level in an academy, no one uses ladders anymore. Do you know what I mean? They're just a gimmick for social media.  I'm in England. I'm just out here doing some consultation.  And now I'm just obviously just did here. So I'm doing a bit of a couple of things out here and obviously running the app from out here as well. I'll be back in England in the next month. Okay, perfect. So how have you seen private training on your travels? Like, is it growing worldwide? Yeah, it's growing everywhere. And it's funny, because even like in England, like, you know, when COVID struck, it was almost like everyone became an individual trainer because, and that was maybe out of necessity because, you know, a lot of coaches were out of work, you know, a lot of people, you're only allowed to train individual stuff, that sort of stuff.  Basically, man, you know, everyone does it.  Do you know what I mean?  I mean, as in any industry. Yep, definitely. So let me take you back to when you first started your business then. How long have you been in business at the moment? About 20 years. 20 years. So when you first started, what was your biggest obstacle? Like anything. I remember, yeah, I mean, it's like any business, like any, any products, it's brand awareness, isn't it really? It's getting your brand out there. So I think when I first started, I've given examples of example, you know, I'm lucky to travel around the world. But me, you know, when I was at Tottenham in my early days, I was, you know, contacting a lot of clubs and people around the world and saying, look, I want to come out and do camps there and we're negotiating. And you know, people are saying, well, what's PDA football? I was lucky because I was at Tottenham. So I was selling the brand, but it was difficult because I couldn't directly sell the brand because, you know, allowed to because obviously, you know, you get in trouble. And actually, it was in Thailand. Actually, the first time I came out here, the guy who was, was, I was doing a camp with, I said he wasn't going to sell the brand, but then put the Tottenham logo all over the, the flyers and actually got like a written warning, a verbal warning because obviously that, but that's just reality. That stuff happens. So the tricky thing was for me was that, you know, I was a very experienced coach and working with top players, working at the top academy, but it was almost you got to try and sell that indirectly, you know, and my USP, obviously even now is that, you know, my background at working at Chelsea and Tottenham and also Arsenal do some stuff as well and consultation. But now I've managed to build over like, you know, many years my brand, my USP that I can sell myself through my personal football coach, if that makes sense. So like any business about getting out there, getting brand awareness, getting people a product. And also, you know, remember 20 years ago, a lot of people were saying like individual training, what's that? You know, that doesn't make sense. It was a big sort of information gap because there wasn't that many of us out there doing it really.  Okay, yeah, perfect. Perfect. So how do you build those partnerships with those big clubs? Because I'm sure a lot of trainers watching this will be thinking the same, how can I build a partnership with a big brand?  And they trust me because I've had 20 years in the industry because of my track record of working with the best academy and with the best players. So there's no shortcuts to that, do you know what I mean? So that's taken a lot of time. It's a lot of time to do that build up and build my reputation through that. And that's why now they trust me to do that to, you know, they trust me to come in and work with their players and for my personal football coach to be their choice. So that's a long road, basically. Do you know what I mean? It's that you can't do it overnight and, you know, you just got to keep working away, building yourself up, keep, you know, building your own CV and developing yourself and then developing your own brand as well. So essentially, when you go into a club, how does it work then? Do you give players access to the app or how does that, that plan out there? Yeah, so basically like a club partnership, you know, pro club looks a bit different to a grassroot club because, like I say, we've got over a hundred grassroot clubs around the world using it. But generally, yeah, so the club will go in, we give all the players access to the app. The app is white label, so it's got the logo on stuff like that with the big clubs like Arsenal and they all go in and I'll film their players doing the technical challenges in the Arsenal kits and then we post those and then kids can, you know, download them and then upload their own challenges and stuff like that. And, you know, then also do stuff maybe with the coaches in terms of session design and how to maximize ball mastery on 1v1 and that sort of thing. So it looks different in all different environments, but I mean, that really gives you a bit of a taste of it. A lot of coaches that we work with, they want to start their own app, like that seems to be like the trend at the moment. Everyone needs to have an app to be successful. What's your opinion on that? Do you need an app to be a successful private trainer? It depends what the app is and it's like, you know, some know it's like everyone's releasing app now, but my question would be like, why am I going to, you know, give you know, the old dog and duck app?  Do you know what I mean? So that's why it's important you build your own brand. What's your USP?  They can't rip off me and my experience. So like clubs don't trust them because they're just another, just another app. So I think you've got apps always good and they're always useful. It depends how you utilize them. But if you're looking, you know, mass market, you've got to first try and build your brand and build your own identity. Because, you know, what's, you know, that guy in Australia or here in Thailand or wherever in Delhi, like, why are they going to download that app? Why are they going to trust you with their development or their kids development? Because, you know, then you'll just, maybe you don't have that identity yet. I think it's important to first build up your experience, your identity. And then you'll then you're saying, okay, this is what you're bringing to the table unless you've got an amazing app, which is like AI or something or something of that. You know what I mean? And listen, there are some, you know, good trainers out there who are doing some really good things. And I know they've got some apps out as well. Love that. So let me tell you back 20 years ago then. How did you get your first client then? Well, when I was in America, I've got my first client. This is someone who's asked me, I was coaching and I was working for a company.  And I was like, wow, 50 bucks. You know, I was drinking money. It's great. So when I came back to England, it was like, I think, you know, I think, because I started off running camps. And then someone asked me through that and then I started advertising and sort of it was, you know, it sort of filtered through that. And then word of mouth was always the most effective way of getting new business. You know, it's probably as always is unless you know, talk really about mass market, advertising, selling. But I mean, yeah, so then there's just sort of built gradually from that, people come back and say, look, he's doing a really good job. And now you build up from that way really. And what do you look for when you bring on a new client into your business? Well, it depends. Because obviously now really rallies us, you know, when I'm working individually with players, I'm only really working with pros and that sort of thing. And you know, players who are the highest level, because obviously that's because I've been very, I don't have an infinite time to dedicate to it. I mean, but in terms of like, when I'm just working with clubs, I mean, that sort of thing, you know, has to be why, you know, they, it depends because my coach is a bit different. They're coming in looking at clubs and then, you know, as a club got the philosophy, they want to use it, that sort of thing. You work with players at like quite a high level. How do you keep a client accountable for their own development when they're away from you? Yeah, I mean, listen, the reality is at the very highest level, it's a challenge to, you know, it's a challenge to put extra work in because the demands of the modern game at the highest level are so high. So this got to do what they do, what they can do, you know, they got to keep on reflecting, you know, looking what they're doing, of course, going well, and just try and work as hard as much as hard as possible and try and squeeze as much in as they can, basically. I mean, listen, proof's always in the pudding, you know, I mean, if you're in the first 11 and you're doing well and, you know, people are talking about you, then things are going well, you know, and then that's very easy for that to shift and go the other way. And then I think that's the time you just got to try and think about, right, maybe reevaluate, take a breath, think about what was I doing well previously, what can I then do well now, what can I work on, those extras are so important to put in and, you know, develop myself as a player and a person. Love that, love that. So where do you see private training going in the next two to five years then? Yeah, I think there'd be like, I think it's becoming more and more, I think like, more like, more main clubs will have it, I think it'll become more of, you know, a main-state academies and first-team level, I think it's the individual training becoming a lot more prevalent, if you like, as it becomes more, people will understand it more, because what you see, what you see is that all players are doing it anyway, and then all academies are waiting on like, you know, a lot of academies are doing that now, now academies are offering it, you know, so they will come side for us, we've got individual trainers and all the top level players are doing extras, especially particularly the younger generation.  Any in-person players are you currently working with? It depends, but I mean, so obviously pre-season is the busiest time of the year for me, so that's one of the reasons I'm going back to London next month, so I'll go about end of May and then, you know, the month, like the three or four weeks before the season starts, my busiest time of year, and I'll work with, you know, many players approached before they go back in for pre-season, and then that's the busiest time of the year starts, and then basically throughout the year, depending on the timing, we'll try and get as many sessions as possible, but it's a small, you know, portfolio of players really. And what would you say to any trainer or other coach who's watching this or listening, and they aren't running a business or they want to get into business? What would be the number one advice you would give them?  So essentially, what is the journey you take your client on in your business? So when they join you, what's the end result you're looking for? Yeah, so for instance, like player comes to me, is very much just, you know, look at what position they play, so then my job is to basically try and look at their position, break that position down into microcosmic examples, what you're going to see in the game, and what's going to make the difference in the game, that's what's key with practicing, what's going to make the difference in the game, and generally that's around 1v1 dominations, and my whole philosophy is built around 1v1 domination, the 1v1 duel, can we build the end to, like I say, game-like practices to really break it down, a bit like doing American sports, you really break that down into those essential factors you're going to get, and then really hammer those different movements, those different skills, those different tactics, those 1v1 tactics until the player can't get it wrong, if you like, and then that prepares them to make an impact on the game, because that's the reality, you see, you know, you can do all these little one-touch passing, pop, pop, random mannequin, or daylight, do you know what I mean? But the reality is that what really changes games, it's like, you know, it's been at the break lines with the ball, either at your feet, or, you know, with the pass, or running off the ball, and obviously shots and passes, and shots and four passes and crosses, that sort of thing, end product, so really break those down, focus on those things, on those key areas, that position, and then just do it and hammer it, and then they can't get it wrong. Perfect, love that, love that. So for a lot of trainers watching this, and they want to add value to their local club, say, what's a couple of things that a trainer can do in order to build a partnership with a local grassroots club and add value?  Love that, perfect. So where do you see your business in the next five years from now then? Yeah, I think, look, for me, it's just about growing, getting into more clubs, I want to try and work with some federations as well, so we're working across the whole, you know, the development pyramid, keep on growing, you know, so we've got tens of thousands of players on there, not 100s of thousands, potentially millions of players on there, because they're basically making that like a freemium model, so it's free at the point of access, you can use it free, there's weekly challenges, you know, that sort of thing, and then we can upsell from that, so then, you know, that's the real key, so, yeah, I mean, just keep on growing really, keep on growing and see where we can get it. Love that, perfect. So last question for you, it's a bit of a personal one, but it's a two-part, so first one is what does failure mean to you, and the second one, how important is taking risks in business? What does failure mean?  Love that, love that. Well, so thank you, thank you so much for taking the time out to jump on here, share with us a bit of your journey, your business. Now, if there's any coach that wants to get in contact with you, wants to either follow your business or reach out to you, what's the best way to do that? Yeah, so I'm on Instagram, my football coach one, Twitter, my football coach, mypersonfootballcoach.com, check out the website, the app, don't know the app for free, you can email me directly, so at mypersonfootballcoach.com, always willing to chat with coaches and give any advice if they want it. Perfect, all right, excellent. Well, good luck with everything in the future and I hope to connect again with you. Help me know. Cheers mate, thanks for having me.

My name is Michael Spall. How many people are self-hosting right now? So fair number. How many people are hosted with a Moodle partner? A few people. And then how many people are using just kind of a simple web host? No one. And then how many people are already cloud gurus that just came here to heckle me and see the mistakes. OK, I figured there are a few people like that. My background is in math, science, and education. And so I'm not necessarily the typical IT guy. I'm a problem solver type guy. I've been at ISU since the day after Martin was the King Day, 2005. And I've been a Moodle administrator since 2006. And then I've been a member of the Moodle Gradebook working group for just over a year. So I'll give you a little background on me. So why is ISU investigating the cloud? One is cost. Is this cloud going to be a better cost option? And specifically having to do with hardware churn, especially our SAN. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that we had to keep buying new SAN hardware, it seems constantly, we would probably be very happy just staying with self-hosting. It could also offload some of our server maintenance. So I maintain and our co-worker maintains everything except the actual physical hardware and the network connections. But in any institution, there's a limit. And so when they have big projects, maybe we're not first in line for some things. And then virtualization. ISU does not have tons of experience in virtualization. And so let someone else handle virtualization. This is the reference architecture that we were looking at. And that's the URL about the blog architecture. And so we happen to be investigating Amazon web services. But we've looked at a few other ones as well, not as in depth. And I think a lot of what I would say applies to any of them. So this is the general architecture. Load balancer, multiple web servers, and auto scaling, and the DB, and S3 storage, and that kind of stuff. So what I have some worries about using the cloud, and that's part of why we're investigating and hoping to get answers to some of these questions, we're self-hosted. We can control costs because we know how much I'm going to make this year in salary. And we know how much we have to pay for our internet because ISU already has internet. We don't pay anything for our internet. Storage costs. Again, you buy a sand, you've already paid for it. You know how much it's going to cost. And then bandwidth issues. And then I have real worries about performance, and S3 performance specifically. And then there's a general concern from our networking people about the campus internet border being a bottleneck. And that right now, we're self-hosted, we're on campus. 40% of our usage is on campus. And a lot of that is instructors doing things that are maybe some of the even more bandwidth things. When they do a backup and restore, they often do it on campus. When they call in and say, oh, my backup and restore is not working, we often ask, are you off campus? And it turns out it's their internet service provider that's causing the problem. So if we go to the cloud, that 40% that was completely inside essentially our infinite bandwidth is going to be outside now. One of the benefits is having that reference architecture was the multiple web servers. So you get redundancy and reliability. But there is a little bit of a performance hit that I'll cover. Amazon provides a load balancer. So that's handy, because even talking to someone yesterday from another school, they had a tough time getting their load balancer working right. Though you do have to take care of Moodle sessions, if you have multiple web servers, you cannot have your Moodle session data in the file structure on each server, because as soon as you get bounced, then you're logged out. Unless somehow you set up sticky sessions. You also need a Moodle data solution that can be shared. S3 was what was mentioned in that reference architecture. And you need a solution for the Moodle universal cache. Again, you can't use files on a particular server. There has to be something that's shared between everyone. So again, coming back to here, the web servers are these yellow guys. And you have the S3 buckets. This reference architecture has two S3 buckets. One is for the more static stuff, and one is for the uploaded files and everything. So the problem with using S3 is S3 is not a file system. And even when I'm working with the Amazon engineer and the sales person, I make this comment and talking about our testing and our setup. And the sales person is kind of like, of course, it's not a file system. But I'm like, yeah, but I don't think you get it. Moodle expects a file system. And one of the keys, and I just copied the whole thing here, is that the Amazon S3 buckets in most regions provide, well, I guess all regions provide read after write consistency for puts of new objects. So that means when you create something new, an eventual consistency for overwrites. So you really can't use S3 if you're editing files and expect any kind of speed and anything like a file. New files, yes. And then the US standard region only provides read after write consistency. So you need to use something that makes it seem like a file system. And there's a few different ones. We're using this one. I have a link to their GitHub page, the S3FS fuse. And almost all of them are fuse-based. So you have to install fuse on your web server and do some configuration. But it's all to make it seem like it's a file system when it's not really a file system. So this leads to a worry, because that's going to be a performance hit. And then there's also just with S3 a 64 gigabit file size limit. So there are alternatives to using S3. It's in preview right now, but there's the Amazon Elastic File System. There's Gluster File System. It's a distributed file system. It's one of a few. But it's used by Moodle Cloud for non-static files. So we know this one can work. They're being successful so far with it. And so I think we maybe need to check in with the person or the people at Moodle.org that have set this up and get some advice on whether it would meet our needs. And the other thing is use repositories that link to files and don't copy files. And there's tons of resources out there on the internet that you can use. You can have your videos don't have to be loaded in Moodle. They can be in YouTube and linked to. But that's an education thing. And tons of faculty, for whatever reason, don't want their learning objects shared, even though you can clamp down with. They just prefer the easy way of just loading things up. And then thinking also that file size limit of 64 gigabytes, that seems huge in some ways. But if you're backing up a course that has uploaded a ton of videos, I could see a course backup. And I know course backups that have done this that it can be mind blowing, but it exceeded the 64 gigabyte file limit. So I'm not sold on S3 as being the right solution for files, especially for all files in Moodle. So, this reference architecture, I kind of found it and also the Amazon engineer found it in this article. And looking at it and it seemed really great and I'm like all positive. And the more I look at it, the more I realize I'm not convinced that the person that wrote this up and drew this little diagram actually ever installed Moodle in the cloud. Because where is the Moodle universal cache? I don't see it here. They're using DynamoDB to deal with sessions and I think that's probably a great way to do it. But that's not the Moodle universal cache. So that's one of the things that we're still figuring out how to make work really well and to have good performance. So, if you use the file cache, which is the standard, you need fast disks and it cannot be on S3. Moodle universal cache will not work on S3. I know it won't, I've proved it. You can use Memcache, DA or MongoDB. Those are the two things besides the file that Moodle already has. And if you know enough about doing this thing, this stuff you could use other stuff. So that's what you kind of need to use if you're using multiple web servers. Memcache D purges everything. So one thing you need to do is have different stores for all your key value pairs because some caches get purged a lot. And Jeff sitting over there from Minnesota, I was talking to him a lot and he has a panel that he's gonna discuss some of this with at 230 today. And then there's also Martin Langhoff's presentation where he talks about the Moodle universal cache. And I'm definitely gonna be there because I'm not the Moodle universal cache guru yet. And I need to learn more to figure out how to make it more efficient and see if I'm doing everything correctly with that. So auto scaling in Amazon and I'm gonna guess most of the cloud computing, that's fairly easy. You make a snapshot of your web server and you make sure it's hooked up to any shared storage and all that stuff. And in Amazon it's using cloud watch to monitor your system but other ones would have something else. And you can just spin up new web servers on demand. So if you're getting overloaded just keep adding new web servers so you don't have enough load. Now of course the devil's in the details there and everything but the one thing is on demand costs are more than dedicated instances. So you'd have to see if having a bunch of small web servers in the middle of the night and then scaling that up at your peak load and scaling down was less expensive than just having more dedicated and so that you don't have to add on demand. There's cost calculators and knowing your traffic flow and analyzing your current traffic will be very important for figuring out the best way to go there. So again the orange stuff in the middle here and the session store and the invisible little universal cache. Here's our load balancer here. Now we're gonna talk about the database. And so using Amazon, their RDS service you can choose to have a synchronous standby a replicant in a different zone that will do automatic failover. So that's kind of nice. I mean that's kind of automatic and you can spend a lot of time trying to set that stuff up on your own. So again, that's offloading a lot of work right there. In our testing we're using the MySQL community 5.6. You have a lot of different choices you could choose but we're just using the most recent. But people have been taught and so I've been on a vacation and I went to the mountain moon and then another vacation. And so in that month Aurora's come out and I already feel like I'm a year or two years behind an internet time. But so we need to investigate it. They're making all kinds of claims about it that it's five times the performance and that it clusters real well. And it's compatible with MySQL 5.6. So that would be handy for us but I have not investigated it. But I heard it mentioned a lot in the Moodle Mood already. So people are very excited about that. Performance testing. If you're not already doing it, I recommend that you get a good performance testing scheme that works for you. There's a blog post by Tim Hunt that really goes into good detail. I use the core. In core there's make a JMeter test plan. I would make that. We use Bad Boy which is open free software if you're non-commercial. To make more JMeter tests manually and to run those. And then I also like to have real people during some of the testing when we're pushing upload, do things, like take a quiz, upload a file, do backup and restore to get a feel like is the system real usable? Because you can generate a lot of data and JMeter is very easy to break a system because it's very easy to just put way more users than your system could ever handle. But making a realistic plan is, there's a little bit of an art to it. There's science for sure, but there's a little bit of an art. And so if you're thinking about moving here and wondering whether, how much it'll handle, but it'll also show you the costs too because you run these tests and then you're gonna get a bill from Amazon. And can you survive that bill from Amazon? And Amazon has a pretty good cost calculator. It takes a little while to wrap your head around it and everything. So, and then monitoring. I think monitoring is very important. Amazon has CloudWatch and it can do a lot. We use Moonen at ISU for our current monitoring and everything. And Cacti is like a little bit like Moonen on steroids. So if it was me, I might install Cacti to monitor. We also just use Google Analytics for an easy interface for people to see. And then Pwik is something that Gavin turned me on to at the Mountain Moot. Woohoo! And it's kind of like the open source version of Google Analytics. And there's even a plugin that works well with Google Analytics or Pwik because of the way Moodle URLs don't really mean anything that can help out with that. So some of the decisions that ISU needs to make and this is the way I'm leaning until ISU gets better knowledge of the Moodle universal cache. We use one web server right now and the advantage to going to the cloud would be to virtualize everything. But until we can get really good performance and make sure the Muck is really working well, I'd almost say just use one web server in the cloud and rely on that if that zone has problems, you have a clone and bring down the one and spin up the other in a different availability zone and set stuff up to there. We have to really decide what file system to use for Moodle data because that one that's in preview from Amazon I think is about 10 times the cost of S3 storage. And 10 is a lot as a multiplier. But I'm still not sold on S3. I just can see it giving us heartache. And I'm actually wondering if we might even continue to host in-house and try to run Gluster FS and make our own SAN somehow. So, and then the question is what is acceptable performance? We have certain characteristics now. It's not gonna be exactly the same. I think we could get very good database. I think we could get web server. What's acceptable file server performance? What's acceptable uptime? Maybe uptime is even higher on Amazon because they handle database updates and everything. So, I'm definitely on time today. So, we are open for questions. Hey, have you thought about how you might tie this into your authentication and enrollment systems? Yes, we have in a document kind of like a detailed testing plan and everything. So, at ISU right now, we have one web server, one database server, and we tie into LDAP for authentication. And then we use Banner as our SIS in an aluminum portal. And so, we have that single sign-on from Ludamanus. And then the other thing is we also use Eric Merrill. I don't know if he's here, but we use his LMB to bring student information. So, those are the big three that we tie into and then also we're tied into Gmail. And I didn't talk about it, but Amazon web services has a simple email server. And so, I think we'll use that to pass email onto Gmail. And then, in our tests, we have a test SIS that we're testing against, test LDAP, and a test Luminus portal to, we have everything, a test everything, except we don't have a test Gmail. Well, our tests are being run with all the systems that we're integrated with and all the Moodle, we don't have that many Moodle plugins but with all our Moodle plugins. So, our testing environment in the cloud right now is, except for integration with Gmail is 100% like live. So, you have an LDAP server in the cloud? No, no, we're testing against using our, I see where you're going with your question. That is an interesting idea and I don't know how our security people would feel about having that LDAP server in the cloud, but we're running our tests with going across our boundary, our LDAP local and going across. So, you have a tunnel or something? Yeah, yeah. So, actually, not so much a tunnel, but yeah, we've opened a thing through our firewall and we use the encrypted LDAP, you know, LDAP-S. And so, yeah, so those kind of security concerns. So, on your monitoring slide, you talked about some really interesting tools. Have you thought about using anything like Uptime Robot or Pingdom to monitor external accessibility? From our help desk, our help desk has access to one of the external providers, web providers locally, and they do have something that does pings from off to simulate off-site traffic. And I think what we would be more concerned about then, because if it would be all off, we would be probably just setting that up to run from on campus to constantly check to make sure we could reach our Amazon from, because if it was reachable from our campus, it's probably reachable anywhere. But yeah, that is a good point. Hi, Mike. So, one comment and a question. So, the Elastic File system, I think, is gonna be a really potential great thing for the, you know, not using S3. The cost on it is a lot more, it's 30 cents per gigabyte per month, but that's a terabyte for 3,600 a year. And if you think about sand costs, that's not too much. Right. But anyway, one of the concerns I have is what my network costs are gonna be. And have you done any exploration of like how many gigabytes in and out your servers do right now and how that maps to the network costs in Amazon? Yeah, so right now we've been running with the Moon in and everything. We have 24 seven monitoring of our current in and out on the Moodle web interface. And so we know what our current load is and we've been testing. And when you plug in the numbers for the internet, when you plug in the numbers for the type of server, I think we need to ensure success. And then the internet, you're getting up to about, and we're getting to be about costs of about 2,000 a month, somewhere between 1,500 and 2,400 a month for various designs that I've come up with when you include the internet, when you include the hardware cost and the networking cost to serve us. So yeah, it's not cheap. And that's the other thing is like, so it's not cheap to buy a $12,000 server, but you know you've bought it and you've got it. What if our monthly costs start to escalate? What do we do then? That's a very, very big concern. And I think the more we could share stories about what to expect when moving to the cloud, the better. And Amazon's not the only one, but it's the one that we investigated the deepest. So how many students do you need before you start considering cloud type services? When does it start to make sense? Oh, I don't know, I haven't thought of it in that way. I can tell you that ISU is a school of 14,000 FTE. We have 90,000 users loaded in Moodle. They're not all active, but the way the LMB communicates when they make a potential student, those all come across. We have about 15,000 active users in a semester. And we get upwards of periods of time in the two, our peaks are between 200 and 400 active users in doing stuff in Moodle at the same time. And we definitely have in a week thousands of you, at least somewhere between seven and 10,000 users in a week. And have you looked at other configurations where maybe you're putting certain Moodle tables onto one database server, like Gradebook goes into? No, because our current hardware is Adele R710 and we have 80 gigs of memory. And even though now our Moodle database is bigger than 80 gigs, most of it is loaded in memory. And we have very fast disks. So we are not having to jump through a lot of hoops to make our database run well. In fact, we're very happy with performance. The only thing that could happen with us moving to the cloud is things get worse. It couldn't get better for us right now. It has to do with costs and sand and then whether we're getting enough support from the university for continuing on. So yeah, we're not in the situation where the database server is not a bottleneck for us. Related to your concurrency testing, I'm just curious if you have any conclusions about for the architecture you've been trying out, what kind of concurrency you're able to get and still deliver good performance? So again, the highest concurrency I've done is with the one web server, one database server. And if you get the big enough machine, we're able to run hundreds of concurrent users. So it seems like from that perspective, the performance won't suffer. It's more a question in the real world situation, the file storage issues. So I think, yeah, the web server can handle everything just fine if you get a big enough machine. And so we're not looking at small web servers, we're looking at one, again, trying to have like on the database machine having between 80 and 120 gigabytes for memory and fairly good memory on the web server. So that's tuned a little better. And then we're picking the Amazon image and then running my SQL 5.6, but then the latest PHP from the Amazon image.


I think by the looks of it, you probably understand what's going on here, but just to let you know, I am going bow fishing today from the bank. You know, every time I've been bow fishing, I've done it from a boat standing over them like this, but I saw so many carp yesterday when I was cat fishing early morning. We got up early, we were about to ride down to the lake and see if these carp are still there. So I'm in a real rocky area, so I'm going to look for some sandy areas where I can fling an arrow and not destroy it. And we got a bucket mounted to the back of our bike. We're building a new garden bed over here. We want to fill it with vegetables and all sorts of stuff. So we're going to put logs, sticks, mulch, grass, all that, and then throw a couple of carpies in there. That way when we fill it in with the dirt, we've got some nice fertilizer, natural fertilizer down there. So let's get to the water and see if these carp are running ramp and take a few out. Already seeing carp. They're splashing as I'm riding by right here. It's just a little tube rush, I think. Oh yeah. You can see the shad up in the bushes right here. Pretty cool stuff. All right, I'm going to get my arrow knocked and ready to rock so close. Right here, tiny one. Just domed him. Pretty sweet, pretty sweet. There's another one. Oh my gosh. So close. All right, where are these carpies at? Those little gar. Pretty hard to hit. Couple of gar. Let's go see if we can find some carp. All right, guys, let's park it right here next to this hog wallow. That's a nice little pond right here. All right, I see some right here. It's right in a bush. I need it to come out just a little bit. Oh yeah, there we go. Hit behind the tree. Getting the old, hidden, crouching tiger, hidden dragon. All right, I'll get the bike over here and clean these things up. Try to find a couple more though. This is fun. It's fun. Fun shooting the bow on land, but it's also fun just knowing I'm taking some fish out that I really do not enjoy in this lake. Just saw a tail right in here. Carp tail. Looks like there's another one right there. Got him lassoed.  Definitely one of the funnest bow fishing trips I've ever done because I'm stalking them on land. I'm like getting behind the bushes and sneaking up. You know, you gotta be real quiet. And I just, I like it a lot more than being in the boat. I think my favorite trip ever was going with Flair up in Missouri and getting some of those flying carp. We had one rod with us. It was nuts, but this right here just reminds me of stalking for deer or, you know, any land-based thing. It's pretty awesome. Continue my sneak here. See if I can find any more. Oh, that's white bass. I just heard white bass busting over here. I know that sound from a mile away. Can't be shooting those at the bow. Big no-no. How do I retrieve them? Should I just shoot them again? I don't want to do that. They're still alive. Barely. Oh, no, no, no. Don't you get away from me. The gore have mostly cleared out with the Shad's one. So we got an arrow right there. But the carp are still hanging around. So I'm going to go try a couple more areas where if I shoot an arrow, I'm never going to get it back. It's just weaved. I'm just waiting for it to go. I saw that fish. Just, I mean, it was wedged in there. I just couldn't get the right angle on it. Finally had to crouch down and a little bit lower. I swear shooting traditional bow has made me much better at this. In the bucket you go, house. There's one right there. There we go.  Well, guys, I don't know if you could see what I had to do. I had to sneak through this brush. And then I had to clear some brush to get a clean shot. And then we made a clean shot. But I just blew right through the fish, I guess. So close. He got off. This is literally like stalking pigs. It's a lot of fun. Highly recommend. This might be the way to go, man. I'm sure you would just get a shaton in a boat. But fun factor, stalking them through the brush like this. Just going to watch out for them. No legged demon sausages. OK, new spot. Just spotted a big one at the water's edge. Just kind of riding through.  There's some rocks right here. Here's some activity over here. Let's see if we can get a couple more of these babies. Oh, I just heard a carp. Looks very sneaky. Yeah, a big carp spotted right here. Just got to be careful not to hit the rocks. See you, buddy. I don't do your mind. Don't disturb the others. I'll take them too. I hear them sucking right in here. There's one. He just saw me. I got the big one. Oh, he got off. There was a bunch. There was a bunch right there. It was like five. Just sucking. Can't believe I missed that one. Holy cow. Oh my gosh. Did I miss again? Stuck it in a root. Oh, I see you, buddy. I see you sucking. You threw that tree.  What the heck? Got some flesh with him, though. Probably not going to make it.   There's a little shad from the shad spawn. Got spawned up. I think what's happening here is my little sticker barb here has gotten stuck. It's gotten stuck in the down position. And I need to bend it out, but I don't have any pliers with me. I'm going through and then it's coming out. Stalking one. He got off too. Yep, that barb's just not holding. Looks like it should. Well, I just need to widen it out. What's happening is it's passed through so many times. It's like wedged itself down. It may retire it for the day. Go back and fix this thing. This is awesome, guys.  See if I can pop a big one and then we'll get on the bike and head in. I see you, sir. I see a bunch of you. I actually think I missed that time. I missed to the right. Well, boys, that was a lot of fun. Mission accomplished. I wanted to go out there and poke some carp and a couple of gar. And I did, but mainly the carp, because I think that them just being up shallow, inadvertently even eating bass eggs in my home lake, I don't want that. I don't want that in any lake, quite honestly. And I've fished so many lakes over the past few years where there's not a shred of grass. There's no way you're going to get grass to grow because the carp are just, there's just so many. And even if it's not a grass carp that technically eats grass, it's still going to be picking at the vegetation, trying to get invertebrates, and killing the grass. That's a lot of times what you see these common carp and buffalo up in the bushes. They're grabbing little bugs and stuff, but they're also killing the bushes. I've both fished out of a boat a handful of times, but doing it from land was so much fun, guys. The bike was nice. It was nice and helpful where I could cruise around. But just getting off and sneaking around, getting around the bushes, I mean, it had that feel of like stalking pigs, you know, except they didn't have teeth and couldn't run very fast, but still got that same kind of feel. So a lot of fun. Which one is this? The Diamond Edge Sonar. Pretty good little bow. Pretty nice, nice little package. And I put like an old, this is a little bottle I had from years ago. Probably need to get a new one, upgrade some stuff, but the boat itself is pretty good.  We'll put mulch, grass, all that stuff. And then I'll throw a couple of these carp in there. Natural fertilizer. Okay, then put the topsoil on. Veggies growing out of the carp nutrients. Circle of life. Circle of life. That's how we do it here at the Treehouse. You guys know what to do. Thanks for tuning in. I'll see you on the next one.
