Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Rochester Select Board meeting. I can't hear anyone. Oh, there it goes. Thank you. March 11th, 2024, it's 6.15 p.m. to comply with open meeting law. We have posted the agenda in three places around town. We have placed it on our website and we have emailed all persons that had interest in knowing about the agendas and the meetings. Yes. First thing on our list is approving prior meeting minutes. We can go back to select board meeting minutes way back in February 26th, 2024. I have read the minutes and if Frank has read them agrees with them we can approve them. Yep. Second. Approve. Aye. All right. Got it. On that same evening we had a pre-town meeting. I have read those minutes. They seemed accurate. So I move that we accept those. I second that. All in favor. Aye. We had a special select board meeting on March 1st, but since Dune is not here and Frank wasn't there, we're going to skip this one and catch up with it in our next meeting. Full board or wherever we have. So that moves us right along to should we take on our guests or move into new business? I'll go right to the grant discussion for the AED. I think that's why number two on our list is grant discussion for AED. Is there someone here to speak on that? I believe, Marka. I'm not speaking on that, but I'm sorry but I don't know what the AED stands for. We'll let Janice tell us. Defibrillator. Jan, you're on mute. I'm not sure if you're here to speak on this. Seven times. Automated external defibrillator. Thank you. Okay, should I go ahead? Yes, please. So I wrote the grant to Ben and Jerry's and I got a letter on the sixth saying that they approved it. So they approved $1,500. I sent a message to Dune but I never heard back and I understand he's a way. Yes, he is. How's the country? Yep. So the AEDs can cost up to a little over $2,000. So my question is, can the town kick in the balance? Do you want to do the shopping? Do you want me to do the shopping? How does that work? How long is the grant available to us? The check might be in the mailbox today. I don't know. You received the check today. Are you got it? How much was it for? $1,500, Martha. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry to bother you. Sorry. So I definitely need all supporting documents and anything that you would have to support that, Janice. You mean the grant or you mean? Yeah, 100%. Like all everything that you sent in or the request that you made, any sort of correspondence that you have, I need all of that to go along with that check. Okay, I just send them an email asking for the money. That's fine. If you could just send it on to me and then you said you got a letter if I could have a copy of that too, please. Well, I don't know if I got a letter. I haven't been down to the mailbox, but they said they were sending the check and I should have got it by now. But when I get it, I'll let you know. Okay, so as for the shopping, we certainly trust your expertise and you would probably be looking to buy the best unit you can as close to $1,500 as you can. So once you have some proposals for purchasing, come on back to us and we'll see if we can squeeze it in. I talked to Sally Roberts over at Werba and at the school they have one, it's Z-O-L-L, and the shelter team did our training for CPR and AED. The Z-O-L is what they used. It's very easy to follow and it also can communicate with the Werba ambulance. So they can read the strip en route and know what's going on. So I want to try to get a Z-O-L. Is that the one that you know is $2,000 or $2,500? Yeah, it depends on which website you look. I was trying to find, I was told that somebody might be able to, one of the ambulance companies might be able to get me a discount, but they won't do it at Werba. So I'm still looking around. Okay, remember we're tax exempt. Yeah. Well, I'll get Kristen the information and start looking. Well, congratulations. Anybody that can get a grant based on an email? Wow, that's good work.  All right, be careful. We'll come at you again. Terry, do you have any access to those? I would probably go through Werba, so. Yeah, just curious because you would be the one. We have one and that's it. You have one at the firehouse? Yeah. Then pick up. Then pick up. Yeah. Do you know what brand it is, Terry? Not right off hand. Okay. Maybe we should keep them similar if we could. I would think you'd want to go with what Werba has because, you know, that's what they're teaching and that's me the best lesson I've learned. Yeah, she suggested that. Is that where you got yours through them? Originally? I know. It's been. Power is quite old. Werba fixes it. We send it over every couple of years and they go through it. Oh, okay. But I'm sure it's not the newest model. Okay, so we have a plan in place for this. Let's move forward. Thank you, Jan. You're welcome. Good. The third item on our list is permission for 100 on 100 August 10th from 130 to 5 o'clock passing through and they haven't provided the insurance. Do you have that? Is there something we signed on that? Just in case I want to have permission to be able to come through town. This is a bicycle race or running race? I think it's bicycle race. 100 should be the next, right? 100 on 100. What is it? It's a relay race. It's a run-and-run race. It's running. So I have no problem with improving every year. It doesn't seem to disrupt the town. Their placement of checkpoints is that one that has... We're going to use the school department rule. Yeah, and that was fine by us in the past. So I see no reason to not approve that. And welcome to run through our town on August. Don't they have to go to the school? Yes. Yes, we just have to have them take care of it. They usually do. They do this every year. And we'll move on to number four. Park use application May 24th through October 4th for the Rochester Farmers Market to take place from 3 to 6 p.m. I do have the application in front of me. Is there any discussion? You asked last year, you asked me to provide also the vendor rules just for you to have a clear idea of what is expected of the vendors. So I attached that. You did. I got that. The other thing is insurance. We have to wait for a few vendor fees to come in so that we can pay for the insurance. But I can give you a copy of the insurance as soon as I have that available because we pay for insurance every year. It's last year, actually, because we pay to have EBT at the market to have that program. Last year, just at the market alone, there was $3,500 of local produce and goods that were purchased through the EBT program at the market. People in need are getting good food. Yeah, yeah. Awesome, awesome. Anybody else have any comments on this? I move that we accept the farmers market use of the park every Friday from May 24th to October 4th, 2024. Seconded. All in favor. All right. And we can sign this. 311. Yeah. I'll put my name right here. You can put your name there. Usually only one of us sign it. Five of us. Yeah, but we're always on the chair. Yeah. Well, thank you. I hope we have a very good season. Not as much rain as last year. Well, please don't there for the last year. Well, you can make a half night of rain. The mud right now wouldn't be welcome. Okay. Park use application May 31st through October 4th for the library summer reading program from three to five. This also takes place on Friday afternoon. It coincides with the farmers market. I understand this works in good harmony for parents to go shopping and the kids get together with other kids and have a blast. So I believe this takes place over more towards the gazebo. Yes. Yes, they put their advertising in the market and we leave a space open for them to go through the gazebo. So it sounds perfect to me. A great compliment to the farmers market and I move that we accept this application for town park use. Second it. Hold in favor. Aye. Oh, look, it's another park use application. This one is for a specific day. It happens to be the same day as the 100 race. It's August 10th, 2024. But this one's from noon to 2.30 and it will be a family concert with the band called Busy Morning Band. It is sponsored by the library. So, boy, it's August seems a long ways off, but it's right around the corner. I see no reason for this event not to take place. It's just a two and a half hours. Yeah, two hours at that. 12 to 2.30, it says. They're probably allowing it for cleanup. Oh, on our agenda. Oh, that's all right. And I move that we approve this one. I second that. All in favor. Aye. Rochester Public Library, August 10th event is approved. We have a calendar. Yes. I've got to write those on the calendar because you've got, there's one in September now, I know. Yeah. And it's way stretched out there. Or something that wants to get married at the same time as the park. Yeah. We need to keep track of that. Moving right along to number 7 on our list. Martha Slater is with us, and she'd like to have a discussion about the 4th of July. If you can hear me, 4th of July comes on a Thursday this year. And basically every year for the past 20 some ideas, I've been just getting, I have to get permission from you to organize the event. I've talked to Becky Dona, and it looks like she's pretty sure Pierce Hall is going to be doing their chicken barbecue, as usual. I talked to several people about music, and McKayla Richardson told me that she was interested in organizing a group to do games for kids and things. So there'd be, you know, it's the usual thing with various activities on the park, and the parade going through and everything. And maybe I can get Bernie to come again this year. Who knows? But you never know. But yeah, he's come several times. So anyway, I would just like permission I have. And if anybody has some good ideas for my theme this year, last year's theme was hometown happiness, and I still haven't thought up of a theme yet. But the reason I asked permission this early is because I discovered that the company that I ordered a portipotti's from and stuff like that need to know like months in advance because they get everything all, you know, booked up in the summer. So if I could have permission to start organizing the 4th of July parade, et cetera, again, I would like it. Thank you. Move the use of the park and give permission to Martha to start organizing the 4th of July parade. Second that. All in favor? All right. Martha, go for it. Thank you. Thank you. I know there's a lot of work involved there. Number eight on our list. This is relining the parking lot at the town office here to accommodate more parking. And Susie Smolin is here to visit with us on that subject. Hi. Mike, I want to start with a question. Has this, has there been discussion prior to tonight about the idea of changing the way the parking lot is used? Specifically, we all know that there is a challenge for parking between the businesses and residents, visitors. And it seems to me that there could be another row of parking down the middle here. I don't know if it would be single or double. And my other thought is, is just the area beside the brook. There are occasions where cars actually do pull in perpendicular to the brook. And the only active use of that area is for people to take their dogs to do their business. So perhaps, you know, it could be extended a little bit if need be to accommodate more parking, but even a single line would allow another nine cars, a double line would allow 18 cars. And an additional four or five on the other side would make a huge difference. And then there perhaps could be a municipal parking sign up on route 100. We take a lot of pressure off the town's parking shortage. Well, I'm going to point towards the ladies that work at the town office and see if they have an opinion on if there's a congestion problem, a lack of parking spaces, or people fighting over parking spots out there. I know it's probably been 10 to 15 years since we extended the parking lot. It's been a long time since it's been reconfigured and paved, that's for sure. Would we do lines before we did more pavement? I wouldn't want to even put lines on it at this point. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense because it really needs a good paving project and that's 40 grand probably to pave that, I would guess somewhere around that. Well, I only bring- Just the town office, the town gradual one was 37,000 and that was hardly half the size of this. I bet we'd be looking at 40 to 50,000 just to pave the parking lot. That's my thought. I would say when the time comes, which is like Frank is saying, shouldn't be too much in the future except for finding the money to do it. That would be the time to think about reconfiguring the parking and do lines. I was prompted to bring up this inquiry because I've been involved in a number of conversations about just parking for the hardware and for Naples Soul and for Town Clerk and for the grocery store and for the cafe. There's been a lot expressed about how difficult it is for the tenants above the cafe, the tenants above the hardware store, etc. I was just curious if it had ever been considered and if it could be considered. Well, the last time it was considered, the parking lot was enlarged. But you don't have any overnight anyway? No. It was not overnight, right? No. So tenants would be out of question. Yeah, nor would be. What we might be able to do is put it on Google Maps that it is a municipal parking lot and that's really just going to alleviate people that are driving through and want to stop in town. If there's no parking at every 100, they can come here and park and walk through town and just let people know that that is a public space for them to park. That's part of why I'm asking because if ITI, people are coming back to the office and often that double row there is completely full. So it really doesn't leave room for much of anything else. Okay, well thank you. I think we also have public parking down by where the EV charging stations are. That's also a public parking lot as well. I know, but walking on the road into town isn't the most comfortable thing. I mean, there were sidewalks there, which is also incredibly expensive. I'm not suggesting it, but there is sidewalk parking down there. It is pretty well, pretty funny. It is all white, but it's all white. It's white on this side. Oh, okay. Yep. Excellent. So yes, will we visit this again when the time is right? Parking has always been an issue in the town and when ITI redid their building, it was an issue before the zoning board then. But it was felt that there's very few places in town that can really comply with the parking ordinance anyway. Apartment houses, what the cafes done over there probably alleviates a lot of their parking. You're supposed to have two parking spaces for every apartment. So when ITI did their business over, built that big addition there, we overlooked the parking because of the jobs that it would create for the people in town. So that was an issue that came up and we just looked at it like the municipal parking lot is free parking first come first serve. And that's the way we looked at that. I think you have to also be concerned about people who are coming here to do work and making sure that they have enough parking spaces. Right, but we don't, they're just permitted to park there. There's no written agreement. It's just free parking for whoever. I'm talking about over here for town office work. Oh, we have signs on this side that say town office parking. Right. I've never had a problem finding a parking spot here, but to be continued. Okay, thank you. Okay, next on our list of wonderful things to do, we're up to the town of Rochester is blessed with a lot of assistance with people that are appointed to positions. Dune is not here tonight. So we're going to tackle a few of the positions so that the list is sometimes it takes us an hour to get through all the appointments. So we're going to tackle some of them. The attitude being these are ones that are essential people to run the town. So we want to get them reappointed comfortable in their positions. And next time we have a full board, we will tackle the rest of them. So we did someone here too. So out of our appointments, they're skipping down to water commissioners and sewer commissioners. The appointments for that are the select board members. So I move that we appoint the select board members as water commissioners and sewer commissioners for a one year term ending 2025. Seconded. All in favor. All right. Cut the job. Thank you. Good luck. Plant your seeds. It's time. Sewer plant operator and nominate Terry Severy for a one year term that it would expire in 2025. Seconded. All in favor. Aye. Sewer plant operator assistant. I nominate Cody Bowen for a one year term expiring 2025. Seconded. All in favor. Aye. Water plant operator. I nominate Terry Severy for a one year term ending 2025. Seconded. All in favor. Aye. Aye. Water plant operator assistant. I nominate Cody Bowen for a one year term ending 2025. Seconded. All in favor. Aye. Aye. On-site wastewater officer. I'm not sure he's ever really done anything like this, but I nominate Dune Hendricks. And for a one year term ending 2025. Seconded. All in favor. Aye. Aye. Grandville first response representative, which I think maybe we would just want to say Valley Rescue Squad representative. I'd like to nominate Rob Gardner to continue in that role for a one year term ending in 2025. I second that. All in favor. Aye. All right. Tree Warden, we the select board, I nominate us as the Tree Wardens for the town for a one year term ending in 2025. All in favor. Aye. Energy coordinator, Jeff Gephart to continue on doing a wonderful job that he has been for a one year term ending in 2025. Seconded. All in favor. All right. Recycling coordinator, I nominate Julie Smith for a one year term ending in 2025. Seconded. All in favor. All right. Aye. Park committee, that is the select board, as you can see we approve this and that. So I nominate the select board as the park committee for a one year term ending in 2025. Seconded. All in favor. All right. And the last one we have for tonight will be more later, animal control officer, human officer, I nominate Jeff Brown to continue in his role in a one year term ending in 2025. Seconded. All in favor. Aye. That does not cover them all. So if you were appointed, you would say, hey, how come I didn't get appointed? We're going to wait until we have more of a select board to do the appointed. And if there's anybody out there that's interested in being appointed to anything, please let us know. Because we would certainly like to have more people involved if we can. So there's a list in the town report where you can look through and see what's available and if you want to join, let Julie know. That'd be great if we could get some people involved. Now it's time for our departmental reports. Do we have anyone from the library? We don't have anyone. No. We do have someone from the highway department, though. Hi, Frank. Yeah. Hi. Cooter's at it. He's at it. He's plowing. Lugging it. Doing what they have to do. Well, we had a good rest for a whole month. Got one. Yeah. It's a hard, it's not easy on equipment, that's for sure. And I'm sure they're sick of it. Okay, so we are still expecting the roads to be posted at some point? I would say. That's up to John. I don't know if he's going to do it this year. I think he's gone and talked to the people and said it does justice. It's a lot of work to post every road in town, too. And I think, you know, he's this early season. He knows which ones to go see. Just go see the people. He still doesn't post every road. Right. And I think it's probably. Yeah. Some towns just post it on their website and don't put the signs up on the road. Right. And this year is probably the year that he probably wouldn't post anyway. A lot of the roads were pretty well thought out there for a while. See the difference at the Granville Tell Line? Yeah. By God. Yeah. The roads I feel are in pretty good shape. Yeah, there's some bad spots out there, but as a whole, I think. Yeah, I have heard a lot of thumbs up about our roads. So that's a really good thing. Okay. Well, that was a fun road report from the community. For a change. Uh-oh. Here comes the utilities operator. What do you have for us today? Nothing right now. Okay. Are you working on fees? Rate increases? Yeah. Looking at that. There's no sense doing it until doomed by it. Right, exactly. We will forward that. And then we'll be doing a spring walk around next month. So depending on now when the snow goes. Yeah, they say we could get another storm next week. I heard it was the first day of spring. But they don't know. It's coming up to be coming up the coast. Yeah. Thank you. I'll just get ahold of who was king. Because we said that we didn't have to. I think we entered a three-year contract with him last year. Yeah, I think so. Instead of trying to do every year because they wouldn't get their paperwork out. And then half the time they were late getting there. So if we don't get it done in April, we kind of get a little nasty note from the state. It's been different. I've seen a lot of years we couldn't do it in April because they're still small where they've been plowed. So, but we'll see. Okay. Do we have a Jeff Gephardt for energy coordinator? He's still recuperating. Say, how's he doing? What's that? How's he doing? He's doing pretty well, actually. Considering he was pretty fortunate, really. Okay. Grant updates. I took care of what I needed to with Jan. And I've already received your email. So that's great. And other than that, waiting on FEMA. Yeah. Okay. And is there any discussion about the LHMP, the local hazard mitigation plan? That we received the BRIC grant from the state. We were awarded. BRIC, Building Resilient Instructure and Committees. BRIC. Everything's going to be okay. And then there's, it requires signature so that I can send it back and start the next step. Okay. Let's get it going. And then you'll be left in for the boat. Yeah. Yeah. Everything's in there. Okay. We are the subrecipient of the state. Move it along. Thank you. Also, we have, we're just making a statement with this as an announcement that there will be an open meeting law for boards and committees. There's a lot of committees in this town. This is not, this does not just apply to the select board. This open meeting law applies to a lot of committees, commissions. The only thing I think that's exempt from this is a task force like Hawaii's I wrote. So there is, there is this April 17th at 10 a.m. to 11 30 a.m. There is a small cost for it, but it is, it is very valuable to keep your mouth out of trouble and stay with the open meeting laws. You really don't want to be in violation of those laws when you're making meetings and decisions. So we're just going to public saying we recommend this class to everyone. You go into it. Legislature also changed some rules. Yes. So that's why this is really important to attend. Yes. A little bit in our favor. They could cut us a little bit of slack. So like if people need the length or whatever, they can just reach out to you and then they can register and sign up for it. Yep. It's sponsored by VLCT. So I'm understanding that this is via Zoom. This is not in person. Yes. Okay. So we can get the link from by calling the town office. Yeah. It doesn't say what platform it's on, but I'm sure it probably. Okay. Thank you. As a comment for town meeting, I would like to thank all who attended town meeting and especially those who voted for me. I will do all I can to serve one at all. Thank you so much. Don't get to say that at town meeting, so I'd like to take that opportunity. And with that said, I think we're open for public comment. I have a comment. Bring it on, Nancy. It was really difficult at town meeting to not be able to hear, and the equipment that was being used was really not in good shape. I think we should take some ARPA money and buy some proper equipment so that we can use it here. It could be used on the select board table. It could be used to pass around. I don't know how much it costs, but. Well, one thing I noticed that the light bulbs were in great shape because we couldn't see anything from the stage into the crowd. Your wife might as well have not come. The mic was cutting out a lot. I did notice that if you held it to your mouth, it worked just fine. But the minute they dropped, just a little bit is out. Dropped out. And 99% of the people that use the equipment don't know how to use it, and then they forget. Maybe in the future, we need to advise that to use this equipment, you've got to really keep it close to your mouth. Well, I don't even know who owns that equipment. Kristen said that the batteries, the AA batteries, were all dying, and they were in the back running around trying to find AA batteries. They didn't have them. That's happened before. I'll make sure we have them for the next meeting, or get our own equipment. Why not just change them? Change them? Yeah, you know. I think they don't laugh. That's it. Yeah, I don't see a change over here. That would be the smart thing to do. That, guys. It was like his personally. Wildwood? Yeah. Jake Wildwood? Yeah. Those were like his mics. Those were his. Yeah. Well, in the future, we could definitely supply the batteries and just make sure they're in. Well, it also comes down to the select board. You cannot hear the select board talking into the audience. So having microphones that could be passed back and forth on the table would be helpful too. Well, the two mics that were there, certainly. I thought we were working good. I didn't know. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. Well, we'll take it under advisement.  We're going to need to use some for part cleanup, I think. You just get a lot of debris on the part of this. And even when the snow goes, there's going to need to be a lot of clean up there, the raking and everything. It's going to be expensive.  No, I took it down. The little little kids don't do it. What did you expect me to do? Go get it. Oh, I took it down. It's great. More of the points that come down. Oh, I know. NRF. They did it everywhere else. X. I took it down sooner than. K.E.W. Q.C.R.W.A.T.U.C.M. But I didn't. They did it everywhere else. Yeah. Oh, there was a lot of trees down yesterday. But glad you didn't get one of our new ones. It was close. I wasn't happy looking at that. That was close. Anything else I call meeting be adjourned? I second that. Jesus. I'm a driver. Record time. Hey, you know, don't drag it.


Hey everybody, welcome to the Laudak Way. I'm Jessica, and today's video is going to be all about staying healthy as a busy homeschool mom. You guys, we're gonna be here a while. I have notes, I have something to drink, so go make yourself a mug of tea and let's sit down and chat. Okay, first, let's just go ahead and get the biggest one out of the way and talk about my top tips for staying healthy as a busy homeschool mom. So the top tips that I have are number one, baby steps. You guys, every single time I have ever tried to take better care of myself, I would do all the things, fail miserably at all of them, and then just revert back to what I was doing before. Baby steps are seriously your best friend. You want to go down a healthy journey, you want to take better care of you, you need to do it, and baby steps.  If you're taking 1,000 steps a day, shoot for 1,500. Don't make these ridiculous, crazy, unrealistic goals that you can't meet because then you're just setting yourself up for failure.  Those little baby steps are going to make huge changes if you just keep at it. I promise, huge changes. Baby steps, your best friend. Okay, my second top tip is you need some kind of accountability and you need to make goals. So I'm gonna go ahead and this is realistic. It is 4.50 in the afternoon so you're about to see how bad this really is. This is my home screen on my phone. This is a habit tracker app that allows me to have a widget. I have done two of my six goals so far at five o'clock but one of them is drink 80 ounces of water and I'm at like 74. So I'm going to get that but you need some sort of accountability. For everybody, it's not an app. Actually, I have a lot of different accountability because I keep an app. I have a coach who checks them with me weekly and also I have a group of friends that we are in a group chat together and we send each other like weekly, monthly updates. We talk about things we're struggling with. We keep each other on track if somebody hasn't checked in in a few weeks like, hey, what's going on? You're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. So you need some sort of accountability because it is going to make you accountable if you have somebody to answer to but you need to know what you're gonna be accountable for. So you have to set goals and I'm gonna refer you back to number one because your goals need to be realistic. I typically drink a gallon of water a day. We're gonna talk about that in nutrition in a minute but my goal is not 128 ounces of water. It's 80 ounces of water because that is my bare minimum. So that is my goal every day. So find your bare minimum. Like I said, you're walking 1,000 steps, shoot for 1,500.  Okay, tip number three is going to be kind of in reference to meals, I guess also your water and your workouts. You have to schedule it. Like I am not even kidding. Schedule it like it is a meeting. Schedule it like it's the dentist appointment. I don't care who you are.  Maybe some people do like going to the dentist. I don't, I do not like going to the dentist but if you like going to the dentist, that's great but you're not gonna miss the appointment even though you don't wanna go, right?  So the same thing needs to happen with your meals and your workouts. You need to just schedule them and then even if you don't wanna go, you still have to go. Like you just need to do it. Even if you don't wanna eat whatever it was you said you were gonna eat that maybe fit into your day or was the healthy version or was the best choice for you, you just need to eat it. Like I have timers on my phone, our dot announces it.  Like even if I'm not necessarily hungry, I still eat it because if I don't, I'm gonna get hangry later and regret having missed that meal. So just do it. Like schedule it, put it on a calendar, put it in your planner, write it in between math and language arts.  Okay, now that we have the tips out of the way let's actually talk about the nitty gritty stuff. We are going to start with sleep because I think that is probably the one thing that I've struggled with the most on this journey of all of the things. I really do try to get anywhere between six and eight hours of sleep at night. I would prefer over seven. That's what you saw on my checklist is seven plus hours of sleep and it is typically the one thing that is not checked off. I struggle with sleep because I am a night owl but I'm trying to get up earlier but I'm still having a hard time going to sleep at a certain hour because I'm used to being able to stay up and it's just this whole big thing but I know how important it is. I know how much better I feel when I get the sleep that I need so I really do try to make an effort. I mean, obviously I know we're all in different seasons of life and if you have a newborn that's like impossible but prioritizing your sleep is probably one of the biggest ways that you can take care of yourself as a busy homeschool mom because if you're tired, you're cranky and you're at your wit's end and nothing is going right. So sleep, even if that means you have to take a nap in the middle of the day when the little ones are taking a nap, do it. But prioritize your sleep at least six hours but my goal is seven to nine at night. All right, nutrition. So my current nutrition goal is around 1800 calories a day and I prioritize protein mainly because I personally find eating carbs and fats natural, it's what I gravitate towards. It's the things that I will easily put enough of on my plate at all times. I struggle the most with protein so that is like the one thing that I pay the closest attention to. So if you looked at my goals closely you would have seen eat around 1800 calories a day because I'm still currently eating in a deficit and I try to get at least 140 grams of protein. Now technically I track in my fitness pal and so it does track my carbs and fats as well and I do have a full macro split that I do try to hit but on a daily basis I'm really only paying attention to my calories and my protein because I know the others are pretty much going to get where they need to be. One day I might be higher in carbs and the next day I might be higher in fats. It evens out in the long run. Protein is the thing I struggle with the most but I have also found it is by far the most important at least for me and my body. It keeps me fuller for longer. It keeps me from getting hungry. It keeps me from being as I don't know rabid, feral, mean. It just, the more I eat a protein like if I eat a protein rich meal versus something that doesn't have protein it completely changes how I feel in general how my body functions and like even how I can focus. So it really does make a huge difference at least for me nutritionally. I already said this but I'll say it again. I also tried to get 80 ounces of water a day minimum. I shoot for a gallon but 80 ounces minimum on a daily basis and then I have tried to incorporate as much fruits and veggies as possible. I don't always get fruit and veggies at every meal but I try to have at least one fruit or veggie with every meal or snack. So breakfast is typically fruit, lunches, either or dinner is almost always vegetable.  I'm gonna just pick a random day here in my fitness pal. Okay, so breakfast is pretty much always, always. Yogurt with fruit because I don't eat eggs at all and almost everything that's high protein is egg-based. I also don't, I like smoothies but I don't love only having a smoothie for breakfast because I really like to eat my food, not drink it and I don't feel like it gets me as full. Like if I drink a smoothie, if I'm on the go and I have to do it, I'll do it. But if I drink one, I still find I'm hungry an hour later because something mentally about physically eating it versus drinking it makes a huge difference for me. So breakfast was yogurt with a Dave's bagel and strawberries. So it was plain yogurt with strawberries in it. Sometimes instead of a bagel, I'll do an English muffin. Sometimes I'll do granola, it depends on my mood but that is about breakfast like every day. My first snack of the day was grapes and a low-fat string cheese.  Yes, it has to be boar's head. I'm bougie about my lunch meat. Grape tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers and some boar's head tzatziki dip. I happened to shop that day, obviously because I went to Publix. Snack number two was a bag of pretzels and an apple, Granny Smith. It has to be a Granny Smith, at least for me. Dinner was taco salad. This is a Tuesday. We have taco salad every single Tuesday. I would probably eat it three times a week if Kevin and Emily would let me. It is hands down my favorite protein-rich meal. I would eat it for lunch and dinner every day, probably. I use the quest chips so that the base of my salad is quest chips. That is higher protein already and then I do lettuce and beef, corn, pico de gallo which is homemade pico de gallo so that it's not spicy because I don't like it spicy and then I use yogurt instead of sour cream so that makes it even more high protein. And then for dessert, I had a barbell cooking and cream protein bar. If you have not tried them, you should try them. They're amazing. It literally tastes like a candy bar. It's 200 calories and 20 grams of protein. I buy them by cases from GNC. They're my favorite protein bar. I love them but they are covered in chocolate so if you live in a warm climate like me you need to get them from the store because I had them shipped and they melt, like totally melt. So that is an example of what Wednesday looks like. So you saw fruit, fruit, let's see fruit with breakfast, fruit for lunch, veggie for lunch, I'm sorry, fruit for snack, veggie for lunch, fruit for snack, veggie with dinner. So I try to have at least a fruit or veggie with every snack and meal and I do the same thing with protein. I make sure, I try to make sure there's protein in the majority of what I'm eating. I think that pretty much covers nutrition so let's go ahead and talk about what I like to call moving your body or working out. I aim for three to four strength training workouts a week personally. When I first started this journey I was just moving my body period so walking counted, anything counted. Now that I've been doing this for a year and a half I aim for three to four strength training workouts a week.   I don't design my workouts because that makes my brain hurt trying to figure out which muscles are pulled and what you're pushing, what you're hamstring and glutes because I think everything legs is legs. So I have Kristin who is a fitness coach she's been my fitness coach since April of 2022. I just tell her what I want for that eight weeks because she designs workouts in eight week splits. So I will say, hey we're coming up on a busier eight weeks can you just give me a three day workout or I'll say, hey I think things are slowing down a little can you give me a four or sometimes she'll give me a four and I will still do a three because I'll take the two leg days and combine them and pick my favorite exercises of the two days to do which she gives me permission to do. And then I do one to two cardio sessions a week. And when I say cardio I just mean like I'm not trying to hit a certain zone or heart rate or I'm just doing something that is hard help something somewhat intense. I don't do super high intense. I have a bad name. I have plantar fasciitis. Some of those like high intensity interval training things I can't do it makes me wanna die. So I do one to two sessions of what I consider cardio which is just me working to the point of having a difficult time breathing. And I typically will walk rebound. I will swim like we are pool as a 20 foot round pool. And if it's super hot like the summer and the idea of being outside maybe wanna melt I will swim like circular laps around it. It works. It gets my heart rate up. It feels like a workout. It works and you do whatever you have to do. My new favorite thing is rucking. I tried running and my knee just did not like it. It didn't want to do it at all. It had a really, really hard time. I didn't recover well. And so I was like, well, you can walk. You can rebound. Maybe you'll just jog or something. You'll find something else. And then I heard about rucking and I love it because it's literally walking, like just plain walking except you put weight on your back.  I started out with like, I think 15 pounds and I just did it here at the house like inside the house. Cause it was summer. I would literally walk circles around the dining room table wearing the backpack like the table I'm sitting at right now for 15 and 20 minutes at a time to try to build up the strength and my shoulders to be able to hold it in my back and my legs. And recently my like longest PR was a two mile walk with 25 pounds in the pack. Well, that includes the pack itself. So a 25 pound pack on my back. And it felt amazing and I loved it. It is definitely my new favorite. I will tell you right now though, I am a firm believer and there are so many different options for cardio. You shouldn't do something you don't love. And that's why I don't run anymore. Because it was causing me pain and I didn't love it. Now we still do our five Ks monthly as a family and I will do run walk intervals for those. And I don't mind it. I have got my time down, which has been amazing. But what I love doing is going for walks, rebounding and wrecking at least right now. And so that's what I do one to two times a week for cardio because it's what I love. And there's so many options out there like just keep trying. You will eventually find something that you love to do. Like maybe it's just jumping jacks in your living room. Like there is something. I do still occasionally do Grow with Joe videos, especially over the summer when it was hot. Like I said, I was swimming laps or doing Grow with Joe dance videos. She has a ton of free videos here on YouTube. So I will link a playlist right here so that you can watch those. But that is kind of it for moving my body. I do have a step goal for the day. It's right now at 7,500. That should be more than that. Like really it should be. But over the summer, I think it was like May and June between vacations and summer and the heat, my steps like started averaging about 5,000. And so I am slowly building myself back up my goal. I would like my bare minimum goal to be closer to 8,500. So 8,500 a day. But when my steps went down to 5,000 on average, I just started adding 500 a month. So basically I did 5,500 for a month and then I did 6,000 for a month. And basically now I'm at 7,500. Again, back to that's top number one tip, baby steps. Like I knew better than to try to say, you're only doing 5,000 steps, you need to be doing 10,000. Some days I get 10,000 in, but that's not realistic for me to do on a daily basis right now. So 7,500 is my goal. Some of those steps come from the cardio, from string training, from everything. I also get really, really creative. And when I'm working, actually I think it's right here behind me, of a cube timer. And I will set the cube timer to 30 minutes. And when it goes off after 30 minutes, I set it to five minutes and I walk circles around the table for five minutes. Also when I read aloud to Emily, if the print is large enough, I can pace while I read aloud now and get some steps and it doesn't make me sick or anything. If that's a really, really small font, like tiny font, that makes me a little woozy. So I can't read that in pace. So I pick and choose which books I'm gonna pace too for that. But that is pretty much it for moving my body. And then let's talk about mental health. So the first thing I did for my mental health that really keeps me probably the most sane and healthy is setting boundaries. And I don't even just mean actual boundaries, but blocks of time, being able to say, okay, this is our homeschool time and I'm not gonna bring my phone to it or I'm not gonna answer work emails and messages and comments because I will get sucked down a rabbit trail or Emily loses my attention and that's not fair to her. It's also not fair to work because it's not getting my full attention to like, I'm gonna set a boundary of this is how long I can have on social media for enjoyment. This is when we're gonna homeschool and only homeschool. This is the hours I'm gonna work and only work setting boundaries with people, like just boundaries in general, which I'm going to tell you my top book suggestion for that because then my next mental health thing is reading nonfiction. So we're just gonna go ahead and combine these two. One of my favorite nonfiction books has been The Book of Boundaries by Melissa Urban. That's amazing. There's a chapter in here on like boundaries with everything, like literally everything. Dating, work and life balance, when drama is your mama, relationships, love, marriage, sex and dishes. There's like a college section, gifts to future you, clearing the table. Like there's abuse as far as like alcohol and drug abuse, there's boundaries for that. Like there's a chapter in here for everybody, as well as one of my favorite nonfiction reads so far. And then that brings me to my next thing because I talked about boundaries and then reading for mental health. My goal this year was to read three books a month and then about halfway through the year I decided I wanted to make a goal to read one nonfiction, not homeschool related book a month because I will easily read every nonfiction book about homeschooling there is because I love it, right? Like it's my job, it's what I do, but it is not my entire identity, which is something I also have to remind myself on a frequent basis. So I started trying to read one nonfiction kind of self-help, not homeschool related book a month. And I have three because three have been like they have really, really spoken to me. And so I wanna share my top three picks with you. The first one being the book of boundaries that I just showed you guys. The second one being Take Back Your Time by Christy Wright. My word for 2023 was balance. And I literally needed an audio book for a dentist appointment. And so I went on Hoopla and I just was like, what's available now for an audio book? And this was one of the ones that was available. And it's the guilt-free guide to balance. And I thought, okay, I get it. This is, I get it, God, that's what you want me to read. So I listened to it on audio. I loved it so much. I bought it in hardback and read it again because I wanted to be able to like highlight and mark and do all of the things to remind me all the things I loved about this book so much. And then the third one, which might actually even be, I don't know, my favorite. They all three have been amazing, was Atomic Habits by James Clear. Same thing, I actually listened to this one on audio, not knowing how I was gonna feel about it because I had read this book two or three years ago and didn't like it. I think because I wasn't ready for the message that it had for me and I didn't like it. I got it from the library, read it, didn't like it. I thought, I'm just trying on Audible. I'll get it for free, see if I like it because the library didn't have it at the time. Loved it, bought it in hardback, read it again and then marked all through it, all of the things that stood out to me. And so those three have been my favorite. I am actually also currently reading on my Kindle, The Miracle Morning by Hal Eldrod and I really, really like that one too. So far I'm about three quarters of the way through. I have a feeling it's probably gonna end up in my top five for the year but I will keep you guys updated. And then the last thing that I do or the last two things that I do kind of for my mental health is mindfulness and journaling and gratitude but that all goes together and I'll explain why. So in the evenings, I actually had already worked through the breathe, mama breathe one and then went back and got don't forget to breathe and at this point I have worked through both of these and so I'm back working through this one again. There are just five minute mindfulness moments for busy moms or busy women in this case. There are no more than three pages but what I love about them is they're just like simple, sweet, kind of like stories from a woman or a mom who gets it, who understands what your day has been like and is just trying to remind you to like slow down, be mindful, take some breaths, do all of these things and so these two I really, really enjoy. I do them pretty much every evening, almost every evening. So sometimes I'm too tired and I fall asleep and then the other thing is I really love journaling with Emily. We do it in our homeschool but I liked the idea of a journal for myself because I kept hearing in all these books I was reading that like journaling is like free therapy and I totally believe that but the idea of staring at an entire blank page which is crazy but it was, it was just daunting to me like looking at this entire page that I needed to fill up like my life's not that interesting what am I gonna write about? It was super daunting and I also really wanted to practice gratitude. So what I did is I got a five-year journal and this just has space for maybe two or three sentences and it's blank but it's for five years. So 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 or if you started next year 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 so on. And so I use this as my journal and I write at least one thing I'm grateful for every day because it's simple. It was something I could commit to like I can be grateful for one thing every day and I wanted to practice gratefulness and gratitude anyway and so it seemed like kind of the perfect meet in the middle. Now sometimes I might be grateful for more than one thing sometimes I feel the whole area sometimes I'm like I'm grateful for this and it's one sentence and it's one line but that was my goal was to just write one thing I was grateful for because when you are practicing gratitude you can't be depressed or stressed or like any of those things that we tend to be in our society and I will say that all of those things especially the meditation and the mindfulness and the journaling and gratitude have really, really helped my homeschool mom burn out like I have not burnt out hardly at all like I used to do and then obviously taking time when I need it so I will still do learning lunches with Emily I still take that 20 to 30 minutes to myself when I need it. I will go to bed early, I will wake up late if I need the extra sleep or the extra quiet time or whatever like we are busy homeschool moms we are surrounded by kids and people 24 hours a day seven days a week so I have no problem being like here's the tablet here's the TV remote watch something because I need 20 minutes of peace and quiet or to do a little laundry or put on the dishes and so I would still say that learning lunches are probably one of the top things that save my sanity and make me a healthier, happier homeschool mom because I can do those things I said I can run a load of dishes I can do a little laundry I can eat chocolate alone in my bedroom without being bothered which I still totally do some days I can call a friend I can write something I'm grateful for in my journal so that when I come back to homeschool my mood is better I can read a chapter of my book whatever I need to do I can do it in that 15 to 20 minutes that she's eating lunch and doing something that doesn't require input from me I will link a blog post in the description that kind of goes along with this video linking all of the things that I talked about I will link some of my favorite workout equipment some of my favorite books some of my favorite high protein snacks some of the meal ideas I discussed so if you want to hear, read or know any more about some of the things that I have done to stay healthy as a busy homeschool mom and prioritize myself in the last couple of years I will leave that link for you to check out but before I go, I would absolutely love it if you would take a minute to leave a comment for me what are your top tips and tricks for staying healthy as a busy homeschool mom and how do you find time to prioritize yourself?


certificate envelope and put the ballot in the tabulator ballot box. You can make the defective determination like we were talking about without doing that. And so right now they during the 30 days before under current statute, they can get it down to the certificate envelope and get somebody checked in. That gets you to the point of determining effective or not. I think that I want to acknowledge with Carol and make sure she understands I know she does because she's smarter than I am, that when we're talking about the putting the 72 hour requirement on making a defective determination, that is what is now reducing options for them. Because under the current law, they don't have to open the mailing envelope until the day of the election for some of them or the day before and get those people checked off the checklist. If you say they have 72 hours to determine whether a ballot's defective or not, that means they have to take action on the mailing envelope that they get within those 72 hours, that's reducing that flexibility that Carol was talking about. But you're reducing that flexibility just for that piece of the process. OK, you got to within 72 hours, get it to the certificate envelope and see that it's signed with ballots in there. Then you can choose from there on during that whole 30 day period, whether you also open the certificate envelope and put it in the tabulator. That's what your framework you've put forth right now is that's what I'm hearing. And I think that's slight of a change for the clerks. I'm hearing maybe OK from Carol's perspective, at least. My perspective, yeah, particularly if we put something in place like like a postcard that we can toss in the mail to people whose ballots have been deemed defective, has a little check box, something easy to toss in the mail. If we're if we're required to try to track people down by phone numbers, by emails that we don't have, then it then it becomes considerably more burdensome. But I think while it certainly is more of a of a task to put it in that 72 hour time frame, I don't see that as insurmountable. There will be a few clerks that do, but I don't. So is this something that do we have to put this in? Let in statute to allow the because that was an emergency border, right? Yes. So we need to this needs to be in. Yeah. OK. Yeah, because right now statute only allows it to happen one day before the day before. Right. Yeah. Just chime in and Carol just just I'm sorry, just because you mentioned it just then, I feel the same way. I think I'm comfortable with the postcard. It makes it very easy, hopefully for you to pull that off the stack, put a stamp on it and say you're defective. The other and we can do this through guidance or potentially put it in the law though, too, at that same time, you want them to mark defective in BEMS in our election management system. Yes. So then the people who do have the My Voter Page and do use the My Voter Page can get the notice quickly that way, too. Not just the postcard. And I've thought a lot about that curing and notification requirement, and I think we're ending up at a pretty reasonable place. Yeah. The nice thing about the postcard is, A, it's cheaper to mail out and B, it's something that a voter or anybody is apt to look at quickly anyway, without having to open an envelope. You know, John, really, really quick at my main. You're really. Is anybody else having trouble hearing, John? Yeah. Yeah, you sound like Darth Vader. Really? With a cold. I'll take Darth Vader. Well, I'll try to speak up a little just that you all were talking about.  It isn't it isn't the volume. OK, somehow it's rattling. It's like a super vibrator has been put on to your vocal cords. Yeah. Well, I'm sure he has and I will let's see if I can get the point out really quickly. Then I know you were talking about the idea of doing away with the envelope, the certificate, and instead of just having a card in there alongside it. I just think that would have implications for this, too, since half the definition of pre-processing ballots would be eliminated. There would be no internal certificate valid. Just open it up there. There they are. So it just makes it if you go that way, it just makes me processing really about the tabulator itself. Yeah, everything. I think we got that. Yeah. OK. Anybody else have anything they want to say about any of the things that we've talked about so far today? Except nicknames. I was going to say I want to develop a nickname now. I mean, I think. Do you have to? Will, do you have to have proved you've had the nickname for at least 10 years? That's why it's going to be tough to actually to craft the right language for that one, but yeah, I'm thinking about it. I don't want to get into, you know, trying to figure out whether it's a real nickname or not. Anybody else have anything they would like to throw out right now about any of these things? Anybody? OK, so on Thursday, I believe we're going to do the juvenile public records issue and Tucker will have a draft for us. So hopefully we can finish that up as much as possible on Thursday. And then we're going to continue this elections discussion on Thursday with the ones that the right in declared writings have to be declared before they can, before they'll be counted, report the totals, the close of polls, voter ID required, multi-party observers, and same day register, same day voters get a provisional ballot instead of a permanent ballot. And then I think we'll maybe move on to the next set of issues which starts with candidates. Well, if we have time, we'll move on to that. Does that make sense? Yes. OK. So, well, I was going to send you. I found this list the last time we did this. I found this list of what we did, the wish list and what we did with them. I was going to send it to you and ask you to say, oh, you passed this, you passed this, you passed this, you passed this, but I don't want to make any more work for you. So I'm not going to do it. I'm at your service. Because we did, we did a number of things.  I just want to take a point of personal privilege with Lila. Lila being and and her dear spouse being two of our most regular Farmers Night attendees, I would just like to say that tonight we actually have a virtual Farmers Night, which is being done by the Vermont Humanities Council at seven o'clock. It's a Abinacke father and son storytelling with music. Just wanted to let you two know that. Thank you, Senator. I actually did have it written down on my calendar. You guys are the best. And, Amron, I will send you what I think is the list that we came up with, what needs legislation. And I think that Will and Chris will be willing to work with you around the language and what we need to get in there. And hopefully by the end of next week, we'll have a bill that we can then either pass or not pass. OK. Right.


Acomantia mucinella, a mucinella, is a symbiotic bacterium found in the human gut. It has been shown to improve host metabolism and immunity, and may also have potential applications in cancer therapy. Despite this, there is still much to learn about the causal relationship between a mucinella and disease. Limited research has been conducted on the safety and efficacy of a mucinella in humans, and few interventional studies have been done in animals. This paper reviews the bacterial characteristics and safety of a mucinella, as well as its potential role in metabolic disorders, immune diseases, and cancer therapy. This article was authored by Ting Zhong, Chen Qianli, Lei Chen, and others.


So, I'd like to make this video as a follow-up to the video of the three principles of how to build your own life that I made just yesterday. And what I want to talk about here is how you can actually live like a millionaire despite the fact that you're not a millionaire. Now I used to do this when I was making you know really good money from coaching and investments but it was a really really bad call because I missed one simple crucial part of this formula is that I lived like a king where in places where living like that is very very expensive. Probably getting where I'm heading with this. So I would live in you know places like Amsterdam and Germany and also in Israel where if you live if you live you know like a regular person it's expensive but if you live like a king you know it's super expensive.  Now what does that mean? Many countries like Thailand and Lithuania where I lived in have really really low currency conversion rates and what that means is that your money is worth a heck of a lot more if you convert it from dollars to the local currency. So all you really have to do to kind of live like a king there is live there. Now how do you actually do that? How do you actually create a situation where you can pull it off? If you want to live in Thailand for example or Lithuania and again I'm just using these two because I've been there enough done that in both but you know you can think of any country that you might want to go to and again there's an unlimited number that let's say like this there's way more countries that are you know cheap than countries that are expensive. So all you really have to do is create a situation where you make even two thousand dollars a month and you can already live very very well there because if you live in in the United States and you make two thousand dollars that's like a low low amount but it's not you know unworkable. You can work with even fifteen hundred but again you'll have to live in pretty low standards of living. Now let's say you don't live in United States but you still make money from people in the United States now you use the power of conversions so while I live in Thailand I still work with people from the United States mostly and these people got the money. So you're basically earning as if you're in the currency of you know the United States which is a very expensive currency when you're actually living in a place like Thailand or Lithuania where the currency you know basically nothing it doesn't cost anything. So how do you create that kind of situation? How do you create a situation where you're you know enjoying working with people from the United States or having buyers from the United States while not living there? Well it's actually pretty simple you use the internet you make sure to get attention and then you find something to sell. Now I like to sell high ticket items high ticket means expensive that's how they talk in Thailand. That's literally how they talk. Anyway I only buy I only sell expensive stuff or at least on the base level of the business I only sell expensive shit because that's it's easier to sell one client on a $2,000 deal than to close 20 clients on a $200 deal and it's even easier than closing 200 people 100 people on $20. Now why is that? Well make paying money is paying money. So if you're gonna get somebody to pay you know the tough part is always you know getting the money out of their wallet. So if you've actually taken the efforts to take money out of somebody's wallet why not take ten or a hundred times more than what you're thinking about? It doesn't mean that I do this because I can or I do this because you know I have some agenda or something. I do this because I ask myself what's a service that I can offer or a product it really doesn't matter where I can sell maybe two, three, four a month and still be making at least twice the United States standard. The way I conduct my business is to focus mainly on incoming leads meaning people that contact me. I just found that it's much more efficient than you know coming to your clients is what's a lot more efficient is having them come to you. So I do that you know by by delivering these videos but you can also do that via Facebook. You can use also Facebook ads to do it. There's many many ways and I've done many and I've worked with clients that helped them to do many other ways but again the gist of it is you first of all focus on getting attention. So how do I get attention from people? Then you take that attention and you convert some of it to people who are interested in your service or product. You know because I could have you know at the exact same like with the exact same thing I do right now I could have just sold a product. I could have been like hey guys I have you know the coaching thing 101 it's this product that you should get for $500. Easy. I could have even made it more awesome and be like I have this product but it's also a service meaning you use the product and you also get like a weekly group call with me plus maybe you know daily reports or something and instead of $500 now that costs like $2,000. So you know you don't need to do a service thing you just need to get attention towards something that you enjoy doing and then you need to translate that into sales and the way I conduct my business again I could do that from anywhere in the world it would work the same it would probably work even better if you're traveling because you know people see more cool stuff that you're doing more cool locations so you get even more even better perception of being successful and just more interesting in general I'm sure. So that's quite simple briefing of how I'd you know if I were you right now you know assuming that you're like a regular guy or girl with you know regular job what I would do to move within three months to another country where I could you know live like a king while racking up money so maybe you're making right now $2,000 a month saving $500 you know hopefully you probably aren't saving anything but let's say you are just for the benefit of the doubt you could by the same token make five six eight ten thousand live you know the most amazing lifestyle right now with you know you're on the beach you know the pool and you know really expensive restaurants stuff like that you could live like that right now while saving two three thousand dollars a month it's really that simple but you need to be serious about it so if you have more questions about how to actually do it specific questions I mean then let me know in the comments and I answer just in the comments if you have a more broad question something I might have missed something big because I feel like I'm maybe feel like I haven't really covered this topic with nearly as much detail as I want to so whatever the main subject I might have missed please let me know and either way feel free to contact me regarding coaching because I can help you do that you know I helped many people do that and it's actually very simple it's something I do very well and you know I want to help you like I don't care if you're a client if you have money if you don't have money I don't care who you are you know if you really are serious about doing this ask questions you know in the comments let me know you know send me a coaching a coaching call request anything because I want to help you do that it's really easy and I don't want to see you you know struggle to make money while doing something you don't really like or you don't really see a future in while at the same time you could have spent increasing your so your brand your marketing within a couple of months already leave it living in you know amazing countries making the same or more amount of money while saving more and living better and also the coolest part is that you keep growing in your income because the more you do it the more your income exponentially grows it's it's again it's the internet the more attention you get you get you know exponentially more attention which means exponentially more clients so yeah let me know I'd love to help you thanks for watching the video
