Yeah, so welcome to the first How To Friday session and I, yeah, I hope everyone's well and firstly, thank you so much for your support and all the good things. It's such a pleasure to have you here and yeah, I thought we'd kind of make this sort of a pretty free flow open chat. There's some stuff I thought I could share with you that might be interesting, might be helpful and then kind of almost more importantly what I would love to just hear from yourselves as well and get some ideas because I think there's a million things that we want to do but we never know which things to prioritize on. So we try and do as much as we can but I think this session we're at the moment opening only to people who are subscribers. So out of the thousands of subscribers, thank you, you few for being brave enough to join the first session. I think this is always how these things happen. The first things are always tiny and then as you grow you get more. So I really appreciate you for being an early bird and an early adopter and yeah and again also I adore your hat Ron so bravo for that too. And the birds in the background for joining. I think they count as audience members. Yeah but I thought I'd start off with two really interesting things I learned. There's nothing really to do with 42 courses but I just found them so interesting. I thought you might enjoy it. I went to near where I live. There's this place called Burley House which is a massive old estate. If you've ever watched The Crown they film The Crown there and a bunch of other things and I was chatting to they have these amazing people around the house who tell you about all the art and all the furniture and stuff and I learned a few things which I never knew before and so apologies if you already know this but one thing I thought was brilliant was one of the ladies was saying that if you have a big painting with your face and your arms and your legs in it it costs a lot more than a painting of just your face and apparently that's where the origin of the name this cost an arm and a leg comes from. So the reason why it's called this cost an arm and a leg is because back in the day if you had a portrait of your painting of yourself with your arms and your legs it cost a lot of money and the second thing I thought was brilliant which was another sort of I think it's an etymology of the name was have you all heard of the phrase getting plastered meaning getting drunk. So apparently again back in the day they used to plasterers would change the colour of the plaster slightly by pouring wine into it and the plasterers would be able to drink whatever left over wine they didn't use for the plastering so that's where the word getting plastered comes from. Two totally random things but I just thought they were brilliant fun facts maybe something you can share with with your other better halves and friends over the weekend. Now I go oh you're so interesting how did you possibly know that but the reason why I wanted to do this now is with subscribers we've been growing really steadily over the last sort of well the last few years and particularly with the subscription model we only started that really about a year ago but it's been growing quite steadily and we always felt that the thing that we're probably not so great at is the community side of things so we wanted to try and do something to help bring people more together and also help you in whichever way you want to be helped in. Just to give you some backgrounds the things that we have tried and haven't really worked is we did try doing you know on websites you have a little chat session sometimes like a little chat bar that pops up at the bottom we actually designed a system so that you could chat to other peers and other colleagues who were also learning at the same time and you could also ask us anything anytime and my thinking was how amazing is this you know someone stuck on a lesson they can chat to us at any time and what ended up happening was we had about 500 people from India asking for discounts on courses that was about it and then the few people who did use it for learning they actually found it was more of a distraction and it's this fine balance I think like you in my head I was always thinking on the web on the learning page it would be great if you could chat to other users but actually the more we experiment the more that we find that putting that into the actual courses distracts you from learning and then stops you from doing whatever it is that you're doing because then you just start chatting to someone else and your train of thought is completely broken so then we were thinking maybe the two things which I think I want to do and this is an open question of what what you all think would work better is one was we were thinking of creating breakpoints at the end of chapters where you can have conversations or discussions in a thread or in some kind of a forum about the lessons that you've just learned or the second thing which is kind of what this is is I wonder whether if we do these kind of quite short quite easy half an hour things we do them maybe every other Thursday every other Friday to start with and if we need more we can increase the frequency where either ourselves or some of the people that we work with so Rory Sutherland or Mike Viking or any of the lovely people that we're lucky enough to work with come on and share some of the lessons that they've learned in a kind of open very relaxed chilled out manner I do it do we do either of those kind of sound sound or do either of those sound good to you and are or is there something else that you've seen before or that you think that we should try because we're very open to ideas so please anyone anyone chime in I'll stop talking go for it yeah I can see I find both of them actually potentially very interesting and and both quite helpful and I've used other e-learning platforms sorry where they have where they have forums and I always find that very interesting just to see other people's takes on on the courses just because somebody may have had an idea or viewed or interpreted a learning point differently to me and the other thing is I think if you're saying half hour chat sessions with people you know like yourselves like Rory like Tom or Richard Shockman then I think I think those will absolutely fly I mean who wouldn't I would move heaven and earth for half an hour just sitting you know and I'd have my dictaphone going and probably my old tape machine from the early noughties so yeah I mean I think I think both of those sound fantastic Chris okay no I mean that's that's easy enough to do and I think also the nice thing is asking for half an hour of someone's time actually isn't isn't a crazy crazy thing I think it's uh you can at least get a little bit of Q&A stuff done and I think are you know for for the types of people that learn with us it's probably makes sense as well um yeah I mean did anyone else have any any ideas or thoughts? Yeah I would certainly agree with that second run one I mean I think your problem would be with some people like Rory you probably wouldn't be able to shut them up after 25 minutes and that would be so excellent um as far as the first one is concerned what I was impressed with in the style of course work that you've given us is those points where you make us look at other people's answers and that is that's instructive because we're not seeing that until we've made an answer ourselves which is great and I class that as the sort of current sort of interaction that we can have with each other to spark ideas whilst I agree with you you could take one or two ideas and discuss them absolutely further and I think what you're doing is is is is really good there and the nearest sort of university style from about 10 20 years ago which is good because anything that gives you the variety is going to help your brain to to work it very well and I think you've got it I think you've got it right in the course and I'm not sure whether you want to take that bit any further but certainly in formal sessions as you say whether they're monthly fortnightly weekly where you can get people to be relaxed and have a fireside chat yeah certainly be interested yeah I like that sort of the idea of a fireside chat and and it's very interesting what you said about the internally we call them opinion-based answers which is the ones where you have to select three other people's thoughts or opinions they seem to be really popular we get actually get quite a few emails from people saying it was so interesting seeing what someone else thought about a problem and so I'm so glad that you like it and we've got a new a newer faster version of 40t courses it's everything's kind of the same but we've just tidied up the design and we should launch that I think it's next next month beginning of next month we're just doing the final reviews of it but one of the things that we've added and I think it will be there at launch is on those opinion-based ones at the moment you can like them but you can't have a conversation with the person so we've created a chat reply button which will allow you to have a threaded conversation under ideas that you find in the opinion-based answers so I think that could be I think that definitely could be good because it's going to be one idea in 100 that one of us is going to go hey we need to talk a bit more about that that's that's something I've not thought about before that that appeals yeah and then my thinking was that it'll just send you when you next log in it will send you a little notification that will pop up and saying it'll say hi Ron JT's left a comment on your on your opinion and you click it and then it shows what the comment was and you can reply and have a chat it's uh I mean yeah anyway it's we're uh we're we're always we're always trying to find ways of making it more interesting but yeah that it's that fine balance of allowing space for discussion but not distracting people from the learning too much so um I think that's perfect so thank you so much um yeah Anna did you did you have any ideas or JT any ideas well I must say I'm a rather lazy student so I haven't I haven't actually been catching up enough with the courses so I'll have to I'll have to think a little more about this or I can give you um responsible answers who like I love I'm just curious yeah thank you I love your bookshelf what have you got in what's the most interesting book you've been reading recently um I I don't know actually oh I've got one here which is uh what's wrong with economics okay any idea this is uh um a primal for the perplexed oh I've only just started nice the book was just just come out actually it's by Robert Skadelsky hey brilliant rather controversial nice well um if you've got any uh advice when you read it please do drop me a mail and share if it's any good I'd love to love to have a read it sounds pretty provocative because it it tries to I think uh debunk some of the myths of mainstream economists uh have created nice that's brilliant have you read any of the stuff from um he's in a couple of our courses and he's such a nice chap a guy called Professor Jules Goddard um so he's the I think his normal job is um he's the professor of marketing at the UCL on is it UCL yeah one of those things and he's got a he's got some incredible books on and he does he does write a little bit about debunking common economic theory but then also he's got some really lovely books on basically sort of debunking and giving new ideas for management as well which is quite all right so let's look about the thing the reason why I suggested is um I mean I love his book but Rory I was chatting to him the other day and he said that Rory said he reads one of Jules's books he reads every year um and it's called common sense common nonsense uh all right quite a fun title or uncommon sense common nonsense something like that got it somewhere uh but yeah I can't remember anyway sorry I've just moved house so I've got like a small bookshelf here and then all my other books in boxes in my garage but uh yeah it's uh it's brilliant have you has anyone else been reading anything brilliant at the moment I've just I've just started into um show luck homes which I've never read before so I've got a whole audiobook series of Stephen Fry and it's quite a revelation just getting getting it for the first time and getting it from the voice of Stephen Fry um it's a wonderful companion for a bit of exercise a walk or a lie down one day did he read his yeah did he read his recent book is it called making history Stephen Fry's book it's a fiction book no I read I read the one uh about the um Greek mythology his name escapes me heroes that was my thoughts I think it was that fascinating absolutely packed with information it it's basically shows the the plot lines to all the marvel movies um yes I think he has um written one more recently uh called Troy I've only just sort of seen the name yeah quite much about it it's it's really good I've read them all recently and uh I must say I just uh I was reading them on on drives and on walks and or listening to them on audiobook it's just particularly when it's Stephen Fry but it's him on an audiobook is brilliant him and Rory actually I think anything that they write if they've got it in an audiobook I'll always get the audiobook one actually there was one other one that was totally um I don't know whether whether anyone's read it have you does anyone hear like um Malcolm Gladwell um oh yes so there's a tipping point and all that yeah so there's a lovely book from him that he launched um I think it was some time ago but it was it's called The Bomber Mafia um and it's uh it his his side um passion is World War II and uh and aeroplanes he loves and particularly bomber aircraft so um he uh he just ended up writing a book on these two very crazy characters uh he were head of the US Air Force bomber command during World War II um absolutely fascinating and amazing as an audiobook because it was written first as an audiobook then as a as a as an actual written book um and it's uh loads of amazing stories and I kind of want to tell you everything about it but then I'm I'm afraid that I'll ruin it for you so I'll leave it yeah great great book if you want to listen to that and then the other ones which um there was a guy who actually we're trying to make a course with at the moment a chap called Aaron Dignan um wrote a brilliant book called Brave New Work um so he's a I think he's an American consultant um he sort of talks a bit a lot about psychology um and how that and how that applies to to work um really interesting and very just he's a great storyteller and it's it's uh it's very easily digestible uh so incredible business book reviewer if you want anything like that at the moment um and then I gosh I mean I've got a million and one books I've been reading but yeah JT you haven't said anything you must have some amazing book that you've been reading as well um well at the moment I've just started reading a book about the history of the Philippines I come from Mongolia but uh I arrived in Mongolia like a week ago for work so so and I'm also a newbie to the course so at this moment everything just seems really exciting you know everything is oh no there we go sort of back I was like oh no another answer suddenly there's actually someone who reads my answers so it was pretty cool and then about this meeting I was really curious because you know I've done some online trainings but I've never had this live interaction with the with the people as well and you are all you seem all brilliant as well so um yeah so I'm just trying to get to know Manila and the Philippines better and self-isolating so it's pretty boring over here oh wow well hopefully we can provide some uh some some some fun for you uh to do in your spare time while you're sitting I'm having great fun with the course it was it's giving me a great company in the evening so thank you so much no no thank you and yeah we it's it we often get asked uh is it really is it really you who's doing the the marking um and it really is us like um there's there's only about uh there's five of us that do the marking so it's really not a not a huge huge number of people and we only let the people who do the marking uh have always been involved in making the courses as well so the the idea being that they can spot something that's maybe wrong or maybe that needs help um I think that a lot of it is a lot of because I mean you would have seen this from the way that we answer the lessons or the questions that we ask we're we're trying to find things that aren't necessarily always just you know are you right or are you wrong but we're trying to find things that will stimulate you to think a little bit and have a go at putting down something even if it's you know total nonsense um like what we're interested in is is to get get people thinking about giving it a go because I mean I think in life that's kind of how we grow the best is uh you know once once we do something we try it it's always very daunting at first like even this phone calls very daunting to me um but so thank you all for being so marvelous uh but um once you've done it once then it gets a little bit easier and you live and you learn and and I think with our courses we're trying to build people's confidence um and get them into that so uh yeah hopefully um that's it I cannot believe this is half an hour and it goes so fast um I'll uh I'll uh yeah it's really kind and look um I thank you so much all for joining um I really your support means the world to us and so thank you so so much um yeah there's there's in total our team is only 10 people so we're very we're not a not a big team uh we're oh Chris Chris let me let me say from from this side of things I only came along because of nudge stock and I was going to do one course and I spoke to Bren last week uh had a chat with him for the first time so I'm starting to to know you guys but really thank you for all the effort you've put in to get uh a 42 courses so far because I think you've got you're on to an absolute winner the way it's set up you've hooked me and I think you're going to hook thousands and tens of thousands of people in a similar sort of way once they've once they've tried it this sort of it's it's got an addictive quality to it so well done thank you thank you so there's a bit of impetus to be more diligent yeah definitely well well um whenever uh we we have the the big uh the big party uh you're all invited uh it's with with we've we've uh very brilliantly the thing the thing which is exciting for us uh that I think we'll solidify our sort of financial future because at the moment I I started this with my life savings and mortgage my house uh so we've we've not had any external investment and we've we've always kind of made money from day one but we've just not a huge amount of money so uh we've um we're looking forward to one day being able to breathe a little bit easier but um we've got some very amazing big corporates that have been asking to give training to to all of their people so I think you know my my feeling is one of those will probably go through at some stage soon and then that that'll kind of give us the freedom to be able to do a lot more things that we want to do I think I'm when we don't want to create a million courses um I think we want to try and keep it quite quite focused um and quite small um and I think that we could actually accomplish that with a small team and and as well um I think you know there are still a lot of very lazy people in the world um who will never do learning even if it is the best thing ever Alan you're here so you're obviously not lazy you've also got the world's biggest bookshelf behind you so um you're fine um but uh yeah I think um I'm I'm looking forward to being able to do sort of real world meetups and uh you know do do sort of very fun events and things like that so we've got a whole load of big big dreams and plans but yeah once again thank you and thanks Ron for the kind words and Stuart and Jason and Alan I really have the most wonderful weekend and thank you so so so so much but uh hope to see you again soon and if you need anything let me know thank you Chris thank you for everything see you all great to meet everyone


freedom means more to liberty-loving men in all liberty-loving countries than the 15th day of December 1791. On that day, 150 years ago, a new nation through an elected Congress adopted a Declaration of Human Rights which has influenced the thinking of all mankind from one end of the world to the other.

So I'll be heading to the airport just after a few hours and I'm going to Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia. And the trip duration is almost one month and I'll be using only one carry-on and also I have about three cameras. And you'll be able to see my whole trip. I'll document my whole travel and I'll be posting them on YouTube and Instagram one by one. So if you haven't subscribed already, this is the time to subscribe now. I have lots of videos, especially I'll have seven business class flights and two economy class flights. So I'll bring those videos and I'll do launch videos and videos from these four countries. And there will be lots of different types of videos and new videos coming up. So my first journey is going to be from Toronto to Taiwan, then Taiwan to Singapore and this is going to be Eva Airlines and on business class.

So I'll do a video on that too. Mainly I have used compression packing cubes and there are other packing techniques which made me made it possible to take everything I need just in one carry-on and one personal item bag or baggage. So I'll show I'll do some videos on those from probably from Malaysia or Australia later on when I have time. So I'll do this type of videos especially packing type of videos more and you'll be able to see all the all those videos on this channel. So thank you for watching and I'll see you shortly.


Good day, mate. Forty hair. It's the holiest day of the year for Hollywood Jews.  Who will win and who will die? Who will get the best Oscar? Who will get the Oscar for Best Director and who will not? I'm just all the quiver inside, so I'm sure you are, too. Well, the only time I really watched the Oscars was when I was trying to make the moves on a woman. But now, I've reached a much more elevated spiritual place, so yeah. I stopped making moves with women. I don't really have to be a very special woman for me to endure the Oscars. But it could be quite exciting if these pre-Palestinian protesters disrupt and kick down the Oscars. And I see like a Channel 7 van, live van outside of the Vanity Fair Oscars party. My Bidley Hills is majority Jewish, walking through Bidley Hills right now. Also voted for Trump in 2020, I believe. So, bring this time of heightened tension. I think it'd be a great idea for me to bring my bag of Tefillin. Stand outside of the Vanity Fair Oscars party and ask the good people coming in and out if they're Jewish. And if they are, have they put on Tefillin today? Excuse me. Do you think they would respond positively? An opportunity to do a mitzvah? Or at this time of heightened tension, will they not want to advertise that it's a Jewish regard? Everybody's out here. They're even closing off Santa Monica Boulevard. The day of war is finally upon us. Ooh, can't even walk that way. Man, look at all the security out front for the Oscars party. It's all getting shut down. That's good metaphor, like for the relative strength of the pro-Israel crowd, the anti-Israel crowd and the progressive Jewish crowd that will dominate the ethos of the Oscars. Bidley Hills has a big 10-7 memorial up for the mass attacks. It's very impressive. So for the majority of American Jews, they're liberal. And so for many of them, Israel is an important or an embarrassment to the extent that Israel deviates from what is progressive and liberal. So there's a little bit of the ethno-state, religious-state component to Israel. There's a state for Jews. It used to be that all religions were national. The nation would have a religion, and the members of that nation would have more or less of it. Who may abide the day of His coming? Blessings. All equivalent with excitement. So what I want to talk about, I'd love to talk about helping Hollywood Jews reach their spiritual potential by offering to wrap the phyllo on them. Like how could anyone object to a holy Jew, a simple Jew, such as myself, just wanting to offer the opportunity to lay to phyllo and help these overwhelming and secular liberal Hollywood Jews to just reach their true potential, so maybe I'll have a tycoon. Maybe they'll have a spiritual repair. And this could be the whole spiritual journey for them. So who could possibly object? And yet so many Hollywood Jews, unfortunately, are afraid to be out and proud and loud with their Jewish identity. I think we need to take inspiration from the gays. They were out and loud and proud. And maybe we Torah Jews should be inspired by that and stop hiding our light under a bushel. Oh man, all the flags, they're all under security. So I guess there are expectations that the pro-Palestinian protestors will try to disrupt the flags. Here's the big Vanity Fair party. Oh, it's kind of sad. My invitation must have been lost in the mail. Why didn't I get a call to the Vanity Fair Oscars party? Okay. This art installation includes 1,400 flags representing victims from over 30 nations who died during this attack on the mass, October 7, 2023. So it's quite moving. Now, I think Beverly Hills would put out 30,000 flags for 30,000 garzins. How is Beverly Hills like Australia? Excellent public toilet facilities. You'd be wrapping weights around your ankles. Man, they have to put out security just to protect these flags. How sad. The different people have different interests in that not everybody feels equally keenly of the death of Israelis after attacks by the mass on October 7. What I wanted to talk about was the category error between the spiritual, the religious, the physiological, the psychological. Let's take under-earning. So why is someone, say, a chronic under-earner? Meaning why is someone a chronically marginalized loser? Because under-earners are warmingly marginalized losers. They're primarily a psychological condition, physiological condition, religious condition, physical condition. So I often go back and forth. Now, there are many conditions that may be amenable to a spiritual component. So big believer in 12-step programs and so a lot of physiological problems, psychological problems. They do seem to get ameliorated by a serious 12-step program. But there are limits to that. I'm really learning through my ADHD journey. How much of my life's problems is caused by ADHD, which apparently is a good definition that I recently heard, is you can't direct attention the way that a normal person can direct their attention. So it would have paid attention if you're playing video games with various aspects of life that can power you.    So as a result, you pay too much attention to other things that are either not in your best interest or not good use of your time. So that's like a physiological problem. You can try to reach for a spiritual solution or a psychological solution, but it's most effectively and efficiently addressed through a physiological, pharmacological approach.  So I know a lot of people don't have ADHD. They take Adderall recreationally. They often have bad experiences because they abuse it. But if you take Adderall or stimulants as a doctor prescribes, there are very few significant negative side effects or even risks. When I was a kid, growing up as a preacher's kid, I'm looking at Beverly Hills City Hall here. I thought the answer to my problems was religious. And so I've been obsessed with religion much of my life and tried to find answers in religion. To matters that are really primarily psychological or physiological. So there are real limits on how much recovery you can have in various emotional addiction problems, if you then address your ADHD. It's really hard to properly direct your attention.  Their willpower just steadily declines as the day goes on. If your ADHD takes tremendous effort to normally and properly direct your attention where it's in your best interest, unless you're on medication usually. So I know there's many people seek spiritual 12 step solutions when their addiction problems spring out of ADHD. And once they get a handle on their ADHD, it's just so much easier to practice the principles of 12 steps in all of their life. LA is like the Bondi beach without the clean restrooms. The shadow knows. So I see that because I know a lot of religiously unbalanced people as a convert myself and usually converts to a new religion come from a place of tremendous pain, dysfunction, and way above average levels of neuroses, meaning they enjoy feeling, eroticism, they enjoy feeling that they're given emotions and spend way too much time with them. And then want to cast off an unwanted life or a new life that they imagine they'll form under a new religion. So many of these needs of psychological and spiritual would be best addressed not primarily by seeking a change in religion but by addressing the underlying physiological such as ADHD components or spiritual components or psychological components that drive us to want to get rid of who they really are to try to take on a new identity in their religion. I know a lot of people in various 12 step emotional addiction programs just don't make that much progress because they are not dealing with the underlying ADHD diagnosis. Am I still rocking the Adderall? Yep. As the doctor prescribes, there's so much stigma, bro. So much stigma. You're part of the crowd that is promoting stigma for use of stimulant medications for ADHD when it's prescribed by a doctor. So I notice in real life a lot of people who really need it seems to me from an outside perspective who really need to address their ADHD and they won't because of all the stigma given to use of doctor prescribed stimulant medication. And so for people with Fandinkum ADHD they're not going to get a handle on it unless they get first line medication which means stimulants such as concerta and Adderall. But because of all the stigma that's dished out with regard to those medications which are probably largely due to the recreational use of those meds by people who aren't ADHD millions of Americans are probably not getting diagnosed and medicated and getting their life on track and they're just operating with undiagnosed ADHD.  Everything's situational, bro. Lots of situations where doctor prescribed methamphetamine is the greatest thing. So if you take it as prescribed by a doctor a very little chance of addiction and any of the horrific side effects. Now, everyone's different so some people will deal with the medication differently some people will have a bad response to concerta or to Adderall and they need to go a different direction. But this thing like the bigger issue there's so much in my life I've tried to look at the world through a religious lens and see religion as the answer to most of the world's problems and for a while I thought economics was the answer to most of the world's problems. Then I embraced 12 step programs I thought spirituality was the answer to most of the world's problems. I got diagnosed with ADHD and I'm all on board with physiology and proper medication as the answer to much of the world's problems. But you definitely don't want to be primarily pursuing a spiritual or religious psychological or geographic solution to something that's primarily physiological and generally you're not going to benefit by pursuing a psychological or physiological answer to a spiritual or religious problem but you don't want to make that category error. Yeah. Magic mushrooms are safe and effective. Right. I made notes for this compelling live stream. Let me reach into my pocket. Right. So the secular analysis of religion is that its primary benefit is providing comfort and community. So if you ever need for comfort and community just done a purely secular analysis you'll benefit from religion, right? Or becoming part of a sports van club. But if you can't sustain relationships it's probably not primarily a religious answer. There may well be a 12 step answer with regard to some spiritual emptiness in your soul or a physiological medical answer need for ADHD because a lot of people on ADHD medication notice that when they go off the medication say on weekends it makes them much more difficult to hang out with. Right. So, as many of my teachers say I was the most challenging student they ever had. And I think a lot... I kind of took a perverse pride in that but now on reflection I'm thinking a lot of that is just... I'm medicated. What you do when you're good at... Oh. Yeah. I was also thinking some of life I'm really good at and other parts of life I am not good at and it just so much depends on who's the teacher or who's the boss or who's the rabbi or who's running the thing. I'm just all over the map when I connect with a boss, a teacher, a rabbi things go swell and I operate well but then when I'm disconnected with the people in charge then everything's frustration and failure and awkwardness. Oh, I noticed a lot of my sponsors they get sleepy after lunch but it may not primarily be a religious or spiritual or even primarily a psychological reason for that. That probably sounds physiological to me. There's something that you're eating a lack of exercise but yeah, I guess I'd do this meandering stream because I recognize that so much of what I thought was a religious lack turned out upon reflection to be a physiological problem or a spiritual problem or a psychological problem. Damn, I just lost my viewership the right relationship is everything. Here I am doing this out and about Oscar night stream and the people are abandoning me. Yeah. I still am used to go to the Vanity Fair Party outside and offer to put to fill it on people. I just want to hope you reach your spiritual potential and you Jewish sir at this time of incredibly heightened tensions here in LA with expectations for a massive Palestinian resistance to the powers that be.


Hi, we're back with another great episode. I'm Rivka Slatkin. I'm Shlomo. And welcome to the Marriage Restoration Project channel on YouTube. Today we're gonna talk about three ways to find the right marriage counselor for you. And before we get into the meat of it, we wanna ask that you please like and subscribe to our channel so more of our videos are shared with other couples that are having the same questions that you are. So Shlomo, you are the relationship expert in marriage counselor. What do you think the best way for people to find the right marriage counselor for them could be? Well, the number one thing is to find someone who is trained in marriage counseling. That sounds like an obvious, but the truth is that, you know, all of us even mass, at least for master levels therapists know the licensors, your typical social worker, professional counselor, they had to have one class in marriage counseling, marriage and family therapy in grad school. Wow, just one? And that's enough to get yourself licensed as a therapist and then you can put on your shingle individuals, families, couples, whatever you want. Well, I can tell you that after doing one course in marriage counseling, which I don't remember too much about, I would not have been able to work with couples. So I read somewhere a study was, I think like 80% of people or more than 80% of people who are doing couples therapy have only had one class. So that's pretty scary. Wow. You know, it's like going to somebody who went to medical school.   Cause couples work is so much harder than individual work. You're dealing with two people, two worlds coming together. It's a completely different. It's a different paradigm, it's a different skill set. Even if you're a graded individual therapy, you don't necessarily know how to work with a couple. So experience as an individual is not going to help you work with a couple. You need specific training and competency. I think that's ethically required, I believe, but unfortunately it's not the case. So if you're looking on psychology today, if you're looking on your insurance, if you're looking on Google for a couple of therapists, you'll get somebody, you don't have no clue. Unless you see that they have advanced training in couples therapy, all because they have a PhD or they have a SID or LCPC or LCSW, any of these things doesn't really indicate their training as a couple's therapist. So what would it say if they were trained in a specific couple's modality? Well, you'd want to probably see if they were actually certified in it. Because anyone, I give trainings for therapists, three hour trainings, and they could say, well, I'm training a model therapy. People write that on psychology today, went to my course. They're not certified, they're not experts in the field. So you want somebody who is certified in, Imago, Gottman, EFC, whatever type of modality you think is good. Someone who has advanced certification, you can find out that they have years of training in that. And of course, with the training, hopefully it comes to experience. And usually if you find someone who specializes in working with couples, then you can read more about what they do and they probably have advanced training. And that will lead us to step two, which is to talk with them and understand more about their approach, right? On the phone and see if it feels like a fit. So that sort of piggybacks off of number one is, find out if they have any specialized couples training. Number two, find out how you resonate with that training. Would you say that? Yeah, well, number one, it's important. There are a lot of different modalities. So you can learn about them and as an informed consumer and see which one speaks most to you. You can look at their website and see if it speaks to you. But more importantly, because it's a lot of glitz and everything, get on the phone with them. See how it, first of all, ask some questions that you have. If you wanna make sure they're a marriage-friendly therapist who's gonna encourage your relationship instead of encourage your divorce, you can ask them. What is their theory about relationships? What do they believe about couples? Do they think this situation is something that they could work with? How often are they recommending trial separation versus keeping couples together? Watch our video about trial separation too. And that big one. So all of these things, yeah. So all of these things are important. Ask any questions that you have. I mean, it's unfortunate because, you know, we're kind of naive consumers. You're thinking, I'm going to a marriage counselor. They're gonna help me save my marriage. Well, not everybody who does marriage counseling necessarily thinks that marriage is even the- We're saving. The ideal or they have different ideas.  So do your research, call them up, ask them their questions. You also wanna feel if there's a good fit because somebody could look really good. You could read about them, but you talk to them on the phone and it's like, this person is just like, I don't feel comfortable with them or, and that's important also. So you wanna feel that since that connection- That was a lot of information in one step. And one thing you glossed over is going on psychology today and insurance panels. Unfortunately, most people, the way they look for a therapist is they call their insurance, they find out who's covered or they'll go on psychology today and look for the person closest to their zip code. And unfortunately, that's not always going to guarantee that you're finding the best fit for you. Sometimes you will have to pay out of pocket for the best. But think about it, if you had two months to live, God forbid, and you wouldn't just go to the doctor that's closest to your zip code or you wouldn't just find someone who's the cheapest. You want life-saving help and the same is true for your marriage. So don't just go on your insurance panel to look for who's on there or psychology today, the person closest to you. Right, because you don't really get brain surgery with somebody who just- Right.  Right, so that's for sure very important. And the last one, Shlomo, number three for how to find the right marriage counselor for you would be. So this one is a little bit more complicated. Right, so one of the, to look into, let's say alternatives to counseling, typical weekly therapy is 15 minutes a week. Even in Amago, it's an hour and a half. It's not selling enough to deal with a relationship in crisis. So look into other things that can give you a more bang for your buck. You know, a group workshop. You know, I know our Amago workshop, it's like six months of therapy in two days. Private retreats, all these things are ways to really create an intervention, to create a transformation, to give you the hope again, which is essential in to be able to recommit. And then also to help you learn the skills to be able to take it to the next level.  We happen to do destination retreats in beautiful tropical destinations that are intensive, but also combine that vacation relaxation aspect. Or we have intensive marriage retreats all over United States. In our backyards. Yeah, with a clinician that is in your state, that you can see privately, in person or online for two full days, six hours each day to be able to really get to the root of what's going on. And then we also include weekly follow-up sessions so that way you also have accountability and support after the retreat. So those are three ways to help you find the best marriage counseling program for you. Please continue to watch and share our videos with anyone who might be needing this information. We also have an awesome free guide for you, the 60 second plan to saving your marriage. It's what we did, 60 seconds made a huge difference. A lot of times it did take us 60 seconds. We boiled it down for you to make it easier.

And we look forward to reading your comments, answering any questions you have in the comments here right below. And we look forward to dropping you the next video. Take care. Take care, bye-bye.


It's a little small. It's a little smaller than I think it looks nice. This is a large?  This is really big. I did not think it was going to be this big at all. Then on the back, we have the Elamon number. It was either going to be 42 or 69, but people told me I should do 69, so I don't like that. Now, I should have done, I don't know if you can do letters, but I should have done like 1K, but this is totally a little dope. This is honestly a little different than the preview. This is huge. Like the numbers, it looks like it took up to the side, like right here. I thought the numbers would be a little bigger than this. I don't think this is a large. This is massive, but let's try it on. All right, so we got the T-shirt on. Looks like this. I think it looks kind of nice. Turned out great. Now, I wish the logo was a tad bit bigger, but that's okay.  But let's put this, let's take off the tag. Now, merch, 5,000K and I will make merch. 5,000 subscribers and I'll make merch. All right, but anyways, thank you guys for 1,000 subscribers. I finally got my T-shirt. I've been waiting quite a while for this.

Hi, my name is Karen Swank-Coustavik. I'm with the City's Park Rangers, and I'd like to invite everyone to join us for one of our wonderful history walks. The event is Saturday, March 3rd at one o'clock at Granby Park, which is 100 Catawba Street. When you come out, we encourage you to wear shoes that are good for walking around. We'll stay on concrete trail, but we might take a little sidetrack off onto an unpaved trail to look at a beautiful old remnant stone wall. So dress for the forecast. We'll gather in the parking lot at Granby, where there's a little gazebo, and we'll gather there at one o'clock. Show up and walk with us. We'll have a couple rangers on hand, and this is a good place to explore.


anything. This is one. I'm just going to sell this to us. So this is my second daily rocket evening. Eight minutes till class. There's no kind of consistency. Yeah, good point for me. It's time for it to. We now have got an hour to kill. I don't know if I have filmed you. So that's the day we're done. I just want to get out of here when I get into bed. It's my day. I'm just going to get out of the tube. This is the end of the day. I'm in bed. So this is the part of the day you missed. I fell a head first down on the flight of stairs in a skirt. It's the most embarrassing thing ever. I also cut my knee open. I had a little boo-boo. However, the shoes on my old stairs did not give me blisters. So April's there. I'm going to set it at the end of this video and put it out probably at 9 o'clock, not 8 o'clock. But hey, that's how it goes. Thanks for tuning in today and I'll see you guys tomorrow for a new video. Peace. It's hard to do this on my phone.


So Google Maps just keeps getting better now. I'm going to go ahead and preface this yes I'm aware of the privacy concerns yes I'm sharing where people are The government already knows where I'm at based on my phone And if you don't want the government to track you or Google to track you turn your phone off don't even have a phone Because that's how that works, but if they're going to track me and since I'm using a phone and wandering around with it all The time and it has GPS in there. I don't have a flip phone. I have a Nexus smartphone. So I why not get some benefit from it? Well, that's what Google is doing now. This is the low new location sharing feature now There's a lot of new features in Google apps This one's a fairly recent one, but I've started using it quite a bit and it's become very handy, especially on my recent trip to Seattle You can find out where people are. So I know my wife's at work and it lets me see right where she's at. Whoops And we're going to go here to maps location sharing I can click on There's my wife and she's at work up as of one minute ago. Her GPS showed there Now I also have my daughter in here and she should be at school right now And appears that she is at school right now and her phone was last This is weird last touch 51 minutes ago, but she I think she turns it off while she's in school She's in high school. So they they frown upon constant phone usage. I know my wife never turns her phone off For she's always playing with it, but what this does is allows people to share location now You do the sharing in the location sharing via the app. That's what it says use the app here So let me show you that on the phone. So here's this me get this out of the way So same menus share location. I can click on it there She is and there my daughter is so these and not Marvin decided not to share but that's a different story I can see that she's near being on farms, which is correct I can then I want to navigate to her there goes it updated. You just double click on it and It tells me from my office how quick to get there all your standard map options So I can start and route right to her now if I want to add and let's see how I'm right here at work And if I wanted to add someone in here, I like the way this works So it lets me know first who I'm sharing my location with those show up at the bottom And when I click this share your real-time location for by default one hour But I still have to either select a person or a method by which to share it. I can share a link I can say until this turns off so you implicitly and specifically have to allow the sharing and this is important That way you can't just kind of fumble around on the phone and add your sharing So I have to implicitly say share my location with and the people on here had to share their location with me And that's an important way the app works that way you don't accidentally have a stalker send you a friend request So to speak or some type of sharing request and you say yes, whatever this thing is and next thing You know people are following you around this is specifically so you can Share with someone so this is like I said, I really like the feature Some people go wow that's creepy knowing where everyone is but being able to do this And I've been I this is my personal one But I have my employees too and we're starting to use it for work because I don't have to ask ETAs or anything like that for my employees if they're routing somewhere You know if they're going on site for a job for client calls We can look we can see them on the map and all this isn't now built in the Google so definitely a pretty sweet system and I'm really happy with it. It definitely works really well and it doesn't have too much of a creepy factor here So like I said, it's really easy to do you go there you can share And in the case of me you can use multiple accounts so I can share my personal one And I can have my other one and I can share separately for them so I can have different groups And it's easy to turn off you can turn it on for one hour You can turn it on for some length of time And but it makes it really easy to find someone. It's also turns out it makes it easy for my Daughter to know dad you haven't left work yet.  And she says me messages, but it's pretty neat. It's location sharing It's free built-in the Google Maps and yes, it does work as long as they're using the Google Maps function It will work on non Android phones So if they're using an iPhone, but they are using a Google address signed into a Google account and they're using the Google Maps on the iPhone Yes, it will share the location back, but it works flawlessly with Android I really don't have any friends using iPhone to really test this with but definitely pretty neat and Something to keep an eye out there if you're looking for kind of a neat and easy way to share or set your employees up Some people have accounts for business and you can share with the employees and see where your team is at Especially if you're like us and traffic becomes a factor driving places So you can kind of predict it, but this is not a charge for service.  Anyways, why not get some benefit for it? So thanks for watching if you like the content here like and subscribe. Thanks


There are a couple of specs that Mage can actually play in SOD for level 25. They're actually pretty viable, if not downright OP, the first of which is actually fire. Here we're going to be taking 5 out of 5 impact, 3 out of 3 imp fire blast, 5 out of 5 ignite, 2 out of 2 incinerate and then 1 out of 3 le precision because you get that 1% hit from the boots. You'll notice that I haven't actually taken improved fireball here, so in this spec most of the time you're just going to be scorching fire blasting and using living bomb. For the frost talents, it's relatively simple as well. We're just going to go 5 out of 5 improved frost bolt, 1 out of 3 le precision. 3 out of 3 frostbite, 1 out of 2 imp nova, 3 out of 3 permafrost, cold snap and then 2 out of 3 improved blizzard. Now again, you only need 1 out of 3 in elemental precision due to the extra hit you're going to be getting on boots and then we're going to be taking 2 out of 3 improved blizzard so that it doesn't remove our cone of cold slow. We're avoiding talents that benefit from crit generally because currently we're not able to get shatter due to lack of talent points.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We need to talk about something very quickly that just happened on FIFA Ultimate Team. Chemistry style, price ranges. Yes, you're hearing that correctly. The shadow and the hunter chemistry style on this game are now at a higher price range. They just got a 25K up to price range. They were at 5,000 coins. Now their price range is up to a 25K max and people are flooding the market with these cards as we speak because obviously these cards are not worth 25K. Right now it looks like they're selling for around 13,000 so they are trickling their way down. They were selling right at 20K, right at 25 and now they're kind of trickling their way down. So I want to talk about what this means for the market because a lot of the stuff that we've been doing on this game is regarding chem style trading because a lot of the cards since chemistry styles like the shadow and the hunter were hard to purchase because they were extinct basically on the market. Now they're not going to be extinct. So I want to talk about some of the stuff that I could see with this price update which is honestly insane. I don't think there's ever been a, it remind me if I'm incorrect but I can't remember any FIFA where there's been a price update for chemistry style cards. Chemistry style cards getting a price update.  Hunters and shadows though are the only ones that got it. I think I went through most of them and checked at least the ones that were expensive and those did get a price range update. So I want to talk, I want to look at the tweet first. This is a tweet by Nepenthes. He just tweeted this and I think he makes a really good point here because EA definitely did the EA thing on this price range update with these cards. He says and I quote, instead of increasing the drop rate of shadow and hunter cards making a chem style more accessible to everyone EA instead increased the price range to 25,000 coins and he has a perfect point here because basically what EA is doing is they're saying, hey, okay, people want to buy these chem styles so we're going to take more coins away from them. Doing that, which in terms makes us more money because then they have to go spend FIFA points to go get more coins after they spend more for this chemistry style card.  It's on that player for good. So then you have to go sell that player which that player might be, you know, sell for a little bit more with a hunter or with a shadow on it than it would normally but it's technically almost making that card untradable because you're not, you can't actually sell that card at the full price by on its own because you're attaching it to another one. So you're losing a lot of coins if you're buying these hunter chem styles which is, it's honestly ridiculous that they did it this way and I think Nupent has a great point because all they had to do in years past these hunter chem styles, yes they would get extinct, yes they would get rare but they would get packed throughout the year and either maybe EA was adjusting the pack weight in years past and we never knew or they would just continue to get packed so their price eventually dropped down from where it was extinct. But right now these cards are looking like the hunters ride around 10,000 coins as people are seeing this news and of course going out and flooding the market. So this is gonna happen obviously for the first couple of hours, you're gonna see people flooding the market with these cards, going into their clubs and wanting to sell them but that also is gonna kind of bite itself back. That's what happens when a price range update happens on FIFA, you have that price getting updated at 25K range in this terms of shadows.  I do expect the shadow card to be a little bit more expensive than the hunter card and I expect the shadow card to land somewhere around like the 10,000 coin range outside of a promo at least at this time of the year. Obviously as we go on through FIFA more and more and more of these cards are gonna get packed and as you see in objectives and stuff they keep putting these cards in objectives so people are gonna be able to get shadows and hunters through objectives as well. But this is honestly just crazy that they did this and I wanna talk about Ken's style trading in relation to these shadows and these hunter cards because the chemistry style trading is something that we have done a ton of this year and it kind of, this might change that a little bit. I wanna kind of put my thoughts on that. Since now they were, the reason why the chemistry style trading worked really well was because those cards were extinct, right? So Alex Tellez, perfect example, his inform card but on its own, what does it sell for? On its own the Tellez inform should be right around like 160 or 150K. It's a little bit over 150K, it looks like 150, 160. All right, so he's 160,000 coins with a chemistry style attached, 160, without a chem style, without a shadow at least. We go back here, of course it resets my filter. We go Tellez, Alex Tellez special chemistry style, shadow, his price with a shadow is 100 and 70,000 coins. 70,000 coins, so he is 10,000 coins more with a shadow which is basically kind of concurrent with the price right now. With the price of the shadow chem style being right around like 11, 12K, his card is about 10K more with the shadow chem style applied. I don't know, it's gonna be different for every card. Of course, a lot of the defenders with shadows were more than 5K above. The difference between what their card was selling at buy it now and what their card was selling at with a shadow was more than 5K, if that makes sense. If you guys are kind of following what I'm going with, the Tellez without a chem style, 160, Tellez with a chem style, 170. A lot of times, some of the informs were, it was definitely an increased more than 5K back when the chem style's price range was 5K before they updated it. A lot of the cards with the shadows were selling for more than 5K above the lowest buy it now of that card. I'm really interested to see what becomes of this price range update because technically they're making shadows more available to everybody. So that makes me think on one hand that some of these cards will actually, chem style trading might now work as well because there's gonna be more shadow cards in the market and people can go out and buy that card instead of not as easily being able to find it and snipe it and instead happen to go pay more money or a card that already has the chem style applied on the market. So that's why chem styles made us a lot of coins before just because we thought, okay, these cards are rare, they're extinct, but now that you can go buy a shadow, yeah, you might have to pay 10,000 coins, but you can actually go buy it, it's there and that's why it was a restricted good before that the supply was not enough to meet the demand and now we have kind of a middle point for the supply and demand and I honestly don't know if chem style trading will be as effected and honestly, this is another big GG to EA. If they're trying to stop traders, which we always talk about, it seems like they do some things in the market that try to stop traders to make it harder for us to make coins, this could be something that kind of falls under that line of thought because they might be making it harder for trade for us to trade with these cards, especially because the chem style is now available for people to buy. So one of the guys that I love the shadow chem style trade, whoa, Lucas Hernandez with a shadow 60, I was searching at 60K, the next one is 55,000 coins. Normally I would buy that and list it up right away and try to relist it and make some profit, but I'm having second thoughts right now because of this chem style trading method. It looks like the cheapest Theo Hernandez is. Okay, that was one of the cheapest Theo Hernandez with the shadow card.  So now what you're gonna see people doing is say, okay, I wanna buy Theo Hernandez, I wanna buy him with a shadow. He doesn't need the pace, but he's our example, okay? He's got 95 pace, he doesn't need the pace boost of a shadow, but we're gonna use him as our example. Right now Theo Hernandez is 63,000 coins, 62,000 coins with a shadow chem style on him. Without a shadow chem style, his inform is selling for 58,000 coins. So that difference right there is only a 3,500 coin difference between 58,500 and 62,000. So people are gonna now say, all right, I can go buy his card with a shadow on the market for 62,000, which is only 3,500 coins more than his cheapest card, or I can buy his cheapest card and go pay seven, eight, nine, 10K for a shadow card. Well, what's cheaper? Going and buying the shadow card on the market. So this might be something that we have to watch. There might be some fluctuations now that we might be able to trade with the differences between how much a shadow chem style card costs and how much the card with this shadow chem style applied to it already costs. So that's something to keep in your mind. And that might be kind of like a fluctuation trading method thing because on Thursdays, when people open rewards, let's say that they wanna go ahead and buy some player as a defender, like maybe we'll just go with another random example right here, let's go Scream Odomendi. Yeah, you didn't see that one coming, did you? Scream Odomendi, without a chem style, right now 223,000 coins with a shadow chem style. I'm using him because he's one of the most popular center backs in the prem. With a chem style, he's about 236. So he's about 12K more with a chem style on this Odomendi card. Now that kind of makes sense because shadows are about 12,000 coins at the moment right now. So that kind of makes sense that his normal card without a shadow is 12,000 coins less than with a shadow. So that would be a card that we might not wanna trade with. But again, like I was looking at that Theo Hernandez, I was looking at Lucas Dignay as well. This is another popular card in the prem. A lot of people like to use with a shadow card. Now this kind of card does need a shadow because of his pace. He's not a very fast card. He's only got 80 pace and as a left back, you throw a shadow on him. That'll help him out a lot on the wings and on the edge. So 69,000 coins for Dignay with a shadow. How much is he without a shadow? Without a shadow, Dignay is 60, wow, 67, 66,000 coins. There's only like a 3,000 coin difference here as well between Dignay with a shadow and Dignay without a shadow. So it's gonna be something where we have to kinda watch this over the next couple of days. And I'm definitely gonna be watching this with you guys to kinda tell, hey, what are people doing? Are people going out and paying the money for these shadow chem styles? Or are they checking to see what's cheaper between the shadow chem style on the card already or going and buying it by itself? Now I wanna look at an attacking option at once just to make sure that we have something going on here that is similar as well. I've been looking at Inforum's the whole time, but I'm gonna switch over here and look at a gold card. How much is Lucas Mora with a hunter chem style? Looks like he's right around 20K, 22K maybe? 20, 21,000 coins for Lucas Mora with a hunter. How much is he without a hunter? Lucas Mora is 17K there. Let's see, let's go down to 15 or 14. So he's 21 with a hunter. And he is basically 16K without a hunter. So he sells for 16, 21 with a hunter. So that's a 5,000 coin difference. So that card hasn't really moved too much yet in terms of the differences, but we will see what happens with that. So the hunters and the shadows are gonna be something we really, really need to watch in the coming days on this game because that's gonna be, I mean, that's a popular way that we've traded. I mean, if you look at a lot of the cards, I cleared my transfer list honestly, but this Fabinho that was right here, I sold it with a chem style because I bought this card for 191,000 coins with a shadow chem style.  So let's look at this card again right now with the shadow chem style. What is he going for? Because usually he's like 210,000 coins-ish. 200K flat for a CDM Fabinho with a shadow. What about without a shadow? What's he going for? He's going for any less than 200 without that shadow. 193 is the cheapest at the moment. 193 is the cheapest at the moment. Wow, that's actually a decent undercut as well. If that had a shadow on it, I would definitely buy it. All right, so there's one at 200. Let's see if this sells. And I wanna see if this, well, the 193 is definitely gonna sell. So he's right around 200K and the shadow is one of the cheapest cards there. So that's just something that we're gonna have to monitor over the next couple of days with these chem styles. First of all, you might be able to make a lot of coins actually trading with these cards because they're gonna get supplied from rewards. If you see these shadow chem styles get down towards like the under 10K range down closer to 5,000 coins, you're gonna have to keep an eye on those cards because it looks like right now they're actually selling pretty consistently at 13K but they're gonna get supplied with rewards and then we're gonna have to watch this as well on Black Friday because Black Friday is going to bring a massive amount of supply to these cards from all the packs that are gonna be opened during that timeframe. What about the hunters as well? The hunters, yes. I do expect the hunters to be cheaper than this. Just because for attacking players you don't always need to pace. A guy like Timo Werner, you need more shot, more pass, more dribble. So you might use like a sniper or a dead eye or a marksman whereas on defense a lot of guys need the shadow. So hunters are under 10,000 coins. I would expect the shadows to drop a little bit more as well but this is something we're gonna have to watch during lightning rounds, of course, with that. I wanna check one other thing, position modifier. Are there any of these that got price range updates above 5,000 coins? Some of the expensive ones are like the center mids, right? Center mid to cam, is that expensive? Candice C.M., that didn't get changed? CDM, no. I'm just checking all these really fast to see if they got upgraded at all in price. So no, none of the position modifiers got upgraded as well. It was just the shadow and the hunter chemistry styles that got updated. So again, be careful with the chem style trading. What I would say is if you do a lot of that maybe you still keep doing it but just watch and see what happens over the next couple of days with those cards. The chem style trading starts to not work as much. We're gonna have to kind of figure out what cards do work and where it works and where it doesn't and kind of figure that out. So we'll be looking at a lot of that of course over the next couple of days as well. But I wanted to bring you guys this video as soon as possible because this is big news and a lot of you guys in your club, you've bought a lot of these cards at 5,000 coins because you maybe thought there was an update coming or you've had a lot of these cards in your club since the start of the game because you just thought that they were gonna get a price reject at some point or you might just have a ton of them from opening a lot of packs. I don't have any in my club, I'll be honest. I looked, didn't have any. But if you still have a bunch and you wanna take the coins on them, like 10,000 coins if they still are when you're watching this video, you can definitely go ahead and do that because it is nice to get 10,000 coins for a card that was only 5K before. So again, I wish EA would have just updated the pack weight, man. I don't feel like we needed a price range update on these cards but it honestly is just funny because you can tell it's just one of those other things where you can tell that EA is out for their own profits here. The move just makes sense, upping the price range on that card so people can buy it and spend their coins and lose those coins rather than just upping the pack weight and keeping the prices under 5K. So typical EA, GG's EA for that one, making your money, it makes sense, right? But if you guys enjoyed this video, smash a thumbs up on it. If you have any questions, please drop them down below. I would love to help you guys out with those questions. Quick little disclaimer, I am gonna be gone. I'm taking a trip out west over the next couple of days. There will be uploads on the channel so don't worry, I got you guys covered here but you won't see as many live streams or you won't see me looking at the actual today content on FIFA over the next couple of days. I have some more like just educational and tutorial based and thought based videos coming over the next couple of days while I'm gone for the weekend. So just wanted to kind of let you guys know about that so that you're in the loop and I will be back here live with you on Sunday for the Market Outlook video and then I'll be plugged in back here in the setup, in the station, ready to go for that kind of stuff. But again, if you enjoyed the video, smash a thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you are new. It's been Nate, The Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace out.


My name is David Springay, and I've been working in user experience for about 15 years. Now, at the start of my career, I was taught to conduct user research to get in touch with my customers and to develop a good understanding of what they were looking for, what their needs were, and what their problems were. In the next 10 minutes, I'm going to try to convince you that I can have a greater impact on the services and products that I design by getting the key stakeholders in my organization to do the job for me. So in other words, instead of going out and doing it for myself, I want to get other people to do it like product managers and data scientists. So as you know, I work at a company called ZoomCar, and as the head of user experience, my job promotes simplicity, value, and delight. Unfortunately, I have a problem, so I work with a group of data fanatics. When I talk about simplicity, they look at the conversion file and talk about uplift. When I talk about delight, they talk about customer ratings. We use experiments to test our hypotheses, and we measure success to two decimal points. But we rarely talk about individual customers. If you don't know, ZoomCar is a car rental company. We have about 3,000 cars across India, and on a typical weekend, we probably rent out about 5,000 cars. The rental experience is really simple.  We show you a selection, and then you book one. You can do it on your phone with an app, or you can do it in a browser. On the day of your trip, you go to a ZoomCar pickup site, and we have about 20 pickup sites in Bangalore, and then we have others across the country. We actually operate in about 25 different cities across the country. It's really simple. Most of our customers actually ride a two-wheeler to the site, or they take a cab, and when they get there, they open up our app, and they find their car, and they push a button on the app, and that unlocks the door. It's literally like turning on your television set. You get in, you do an inspection, and you can go. On a given week, actually, so if you think about it, on a weekend we have 3,000 cars, we have 5,000 bookings. It's very difficult for a human to comprehend all of this activity. What we do is we use analytics to roll up reports. And on any given day, if you look in my email box, you're going to see that I've got 20 different reports. So, for instance, I can find out how many people visited our website, and I can find out how many sessions we had within our app. I can find out how many searches they did, and I can find out how many bookings they made. I can also find out how much they paid, how much we're charging extra when they return their cars, and I can find out how much refunds we're giving. I can look at current vehicle utilization, I can look at future vehicle utilization, and if I have any time left in my day after looking at reports, I can also find out what they're complaining about. So, as you can imagine, the reports are overwhelming. About six months ago, my manager came to me. My manager is the chief product officer at Zoomcar. He came to me and he said, Dave, we spend too much time talking about data. I need you to put a face on the numbers. I need you to help us build empathy at Zoomcar. For instance, I've talked about the number of cars we have and the number of customers. When you think about it, over a week, our customers make 10,000 trips in our vehicles. And like all vehicles, our vehicles, to be honest, sometimes they break down and sometimes they get involved in accidents. And on any given week, somewhere between 20 and 50 cars are stuck on the side of the road. So, if I take the middle of that, that's 35 cars in 10,000. That is 0.35% of our cars are broken down. That doesn't seem like a large number. But actually, if you think of it in human terms, it becomes a different story. Don't think about it as a car. Think about it as a family. And if a family is on vacation and their car breaks down on the side of the road, it's a disaster. You're going to have kids crying, you're going to have parents crying, and they're going to think twice about ever booking a Zoomcar again. So, my manager asked me to look at how we can put a face on the numbers or how we can build empathy. So, what is empathy? Well, according to the Interaction Design Foundation, empathy is our ability to see the world through another person's eyes, to see what they see, to feel what they feel, and to understand what they're thinking. In the user research community, we have been conducting exercises for years in order to build empathy. Basically, you look for ways to observe your customers.  And if you do this enough, you just naturally build empathy. You understand what their needs are and what their problems are. Now, from a design standpoint, if you really understand what their needs are, you can create great services and products. But if you don't, you're going to create services and products which fail in the marketplace. For many of us, we're not actually creating new services. We're actually trying to improve existing services. Once again, if you understand what problems they have, then you can make improvements to your experience. So, how do you get a group of people who are fanatical about data to focus on individual customers? Fortunately, the person who asked me to do this was the Chief Product Officer. So, he has a group of about 15 to 20 product managers and data scientists and my own design team, and they all report to him. We meet once a week. We started out by looking at this as kind of a design team activity. We were planning to go out to our site, observe pickups, interview customers, do a survey, and then put together personas. But he came to me one day and he said, Dave, I think everybody on the team should do something. And then he suggested that we meet once a week. Why don't you talk to the team and see what you can do? So, we met a week later and what we did was we started out with an introduction to empathy. So, just like I talked with you about what empathy is, I spoke with the product team and I said, this is what empathy is and this is why it's important. And now let's talk about how we can actually increase our empathy within the Zoom Car product team. Now, it's one thing to prescribe how we do this, but my preference is actually to throw a problem out there and get the team to solve it for me because it creates a much more diverse set of ideas and it promotes buy-in. That's what we did. Basically, we ran kind of a design studio in about half an hour where I asked everybody on the team to generate five ideas of how they would increase their contact with customers, how they would get in touch with customers. We had 20 people in the room. We all broke up and then they formed smaller teams to share ideas and each team actually brought forward five ideas. So, by the time we converged, we had 20 ideas which had been shared and vetted. And then out of that, we created a four-step plan. So, first of all, I was very lucky that my chief product officer actually sponsored this. But what the team suggested is, first of all, everybody on our team needs to connect or get out once a month. And we have a variety of different ways that you can do this. Now, we're all doing this either on an individual basis or in teams and we're getting one or two pieces of data, one or two pieces of information. What we decided was that we needed to share what we learned. So, we share what we learned and then we track participation. Our goal is to make an impact. We're not doing this because we're nice people. We're doing this because we want to improve the customer experience. So, we came up with seven different ways to do this and I'm going to go through some of these. I'm not going to go through them all in detail. First of all, we ask all of our new employees to rent a Zoom car. This is a great way for our new product managers, data scientists and design team members to explore what the end-to-end experience is. We ask them to record their experiences either with written notes, photographs or videos and then bring that back to us. So, for instance, this is a photograph from the first time I ever visited a Zoom car pickup site. Coming from North America was a bit of a surprise to me. There was a lot of dust. We also encourage people to take photographs of the inside of the car because as a product team we spend 90% of our time thinking about the online experience but our customers spend 90% of their time sitting inside the vehicle and driving it. So, it's important to get that perspective and we take screen snapshots. We also encourage all of our employees to work at a pickup site for one day. Now, this could be in the first month or the second month that's entirely up to them. So, this is a great way to actually engage with your customers because they come to you and you can observe them pick up the cars or drop off the cars. Usually it only takes one customer to book a car but what we find is that three, four or ten people come to pick up the car. For instance, I once saw a group of eleven people come and pick up a Zoom car and they fit themselves inside because this is India. The other thing which we do is we encourage people to work in customer support and the reason is because it's a great way to find out what the pain points are experienced. So, for instance, if they have trouble actually finding the car, they call us. If they have disputes about damage claims or expenses, they call us and if the car breaks down, they'll phone us half a dozen times. They'll phone us once to say the car is broken down then they'll call us again to say when is roadside or fifth coming. The final thing we do is we shadow our customers. So, we phone them up. What we do is we phone people up after they and we ask them about their booking and then we ask them about their trip and then if they're willing we'll actually meet them at the pickup site. So, everything I've talked about here is I would describe it as small data. We're meeting with one or two customers but we actually use big data to connect with our customers too. So, for instance, we can use our database to identify our most frequent users or customers within India and once we have this data, we invite them we can invite them out to a pub where we get to know them on an individual basis. What we do, what we've done in the past is we ask them to draw essentially a user journey of their last trip and then we explore ways with them that we can improve it. So, I talked about the individual research it's also important for us to share what we learn and the reason we do this is so that we can essentially understand the different individual points and look for patterns. We're also accountable for this so we track participation. So, this is what we call our wall of fame. It initially started out as a wall of shame. We ask everybody to put their name up on this chart to identify what they're going to do once a month and at the end of the month we count the number of people on the right-hand side. So, it's very visible that we expect everybody to do this. So, lessons learned. First of all, we learned it's easy to get started. It doesn't really take a degree in human-computer interaction to rent a car or to get out and observe your customers at the site. That is believing. So, it's amazing how you can learn about things and get a greater understanding of what your customers are experiencing by just watching them. Third, it's not always clear how you should get in touch with customers. So, we're dealing with a lot of data scientists and product managers. And fourth, we use a lunch turn and what we found is it's only an hour long. So, to address these we've created essentially a research guide which contains one page for every activity which we do so that when our product managers come up to us and ask us how should we conduct research out of site we give them this page. The other thing we do is we have a presentation guide where we basically say we want you to talk about what you did, what you learned, and how you would improve our services. And we give them 10 minutes. So, we've been doing this for about three months now. After six weeks, actually, in the first week what we found is that there were a small number of cleaners or advocates who wanted to do this. The rest of the group, to be honest, weren't even sure if it was going to happen. After six weeks, what we found is we had seven people present their research in 75 minutes. There's very structured discussion and we had 20 people in the room, I would say, who were actually very engaged. So, lessons learned. First of all, if you're going to lead an activity like this you need to manage your contributions proactively. You need to make sure people are doing a variety of things. That way, when people come to the room they get value out of it. Second, after a couple of weeks you start to hear the same stories. When we hear about an issue or a user experience twice, it's a signal. When we hear about an issue three times that's when we take action. And we maintain documents where we are capturing issues and looking for patterns. As I said, empathy is not an end goal. It's a means to an end. And from a design perspective we can use this to move discussions forward to actually get a product team to take action. We also find that many of the issues which we see cut across organizations. We have an online organization and an operational organization. What we've discovered is that if we don't have the right organization in the room our issues stop. So it's critical to have all of our organizations in the room. Okay, so I want to review with a story. So, about three weeks ago one of the product managers on my team came to me and asked to meet with me and the... Sorry, you guys gave me 12 minutes. No, okay. So anyways, okay. So what did we learn? So they came to me and the product manager came to me and the head of data analytics and said, we have a problem. We've noticed that our customers are leaving. This is normal turn, but we'd like to understand why they've left us. So I'd like your help to create a survey. To my pleasant surprise the head of data analytics responded by saying, you know, we could create a survey but that's not actually a good way to find out why our customers are leaving. What we could do is we could actually use our database to identify 20 customers and give them a call. We can connect with them explore why they left us and then explore how we could give them how we could recover them. We could use empathy. So I started out this talk by saying that I didn't think it was useful to actually go out and do your research yourself. But that was a little bit of a lie. As a user, it's critical for us to get out there. But I also believe that by asking the key stakeholders within your organization to do research to, we will have a greater impact upon the user experience with our product. Thank you. Thank you.


Well today we're having the groundbreaking ceremony for a five-year process that's culminating in the construction of the Ben Hogan Learning Center. The objective of the first tee is to work with young people and deliver them life skills in a golf context to provide them an opportunity to grow into successful citizens. So what it does is learning opportunities and educational programs that promotes that character development, life enhancing values through the game of golf. We're very proud here in Fort Worth to work with 15,000 children last year in 2010 and that number will continue to grow and obviously with the addition of the Ben Hogan Learning Center that expands the offerings that we can get kids involved with. The Ben Hogan Learning Facility will supply the building blocks to play an essential role in providing the tools for our youth to embrace learning and to strengthen their leadership roles. This is vital for today's youth and for tomorrow's leaders. Any time you have a project like this it speaks volumes about the nature of Fort Worth and the community and who supports the youth in our city. It's amazing to watch all this come together, volunteers, of course participants in their families, foundations, organizations, so many people involved in this team effort and the true forward spirit which has always been to invest in our future and what is a better way to invest in your future than to invest in your youth.


In this study, researchers investigated the relationship between marinobufaginin, MBG, an endogenous steroid cardiotonic hormone, and chronic kidney disease, CKD. They found that CKD patients had significantly lower levels of MBG than healthy controls, and that these levels correlated with left ventricular mass index, LVME, renal function, and other markers of cardiorenal status. The authors concluded that MBG could be used as a marker of cardiac dysfunction in CKD patients, and that it may help identify those at greatest risk of developing cardiovascular complications following kidney transplantation.

Hello, welcome to another video. A few years ago I put together a beginner's wild camping kit, which was made up of stuff that I'd found on the internet, shopping around, checking reviews. So I've basically updated that and I've put together a full wild camping kit for less than 300 quid. It's around about £290. I will be putting all the costs and everything below and that's what it is today as I make this video. I'm going to get straight into it. I've put it together with things that aren't the cheapest, cheapest because I don't want you to start your wild camping journey and not enjoy it because all the gears just fall into bits on you. So I've been mindful it's taken me a long time to put it together, but I have put it together and let's get into it and start with the bag G4 III, which is a fantastic bag. You'll have to excuse the the varying light. It's sort of a cloudy, sunny day. So there's a lot going on. I love this bag, man. It's so comfortable. There's loads of separate pockets in there. There are straps at the bottom of the bag that you can attach your tent to or your sleeping bag. You have an access point at the bottom so you can put your wet clothes or your sleeping bag or just access what's in your bag from the bottom so you don't have to dig through it all to find what you want. It has an inbuilt compass and safety whistle in the strap and clips for attaching your electronic devices like your GPS and whatever you want on the front as well. It has a place for your hydration pouch. It also has a USB port in there as well so you can charge your phone as you go. It has loops for your ice axes, your hiking poles, pockets either side and when you get into it, let's get into it shall we? Let's put you down a bit I think. So we have a front compartment on the bag. We'll get into that first. The zips move effortlessly. This has got a zipped compartment to keep your valuables in. The first thing, flex tail, gear pump for blowing your bed up. If you're just new to wild camping, you don't want to be put off by having to blow your bed up every night so for the cost of this, the weight of this, I think this is a great item for beginners. It just takes out that extra hassle of setting up your camp and it doubles up as a torch. You can charge your phone on it. It's a lantern. It's a no-brainer so that's gone in there next we have and that's for when you need to dig a hole and do your business in there because it's important when you're out camping for the first time is not to leave a mess, a torch. Now this has multiple features on it. It's got your red lights, your red flashing lights, one flashing light there. There's all sorts going on with that. It comes with a USB charger as well. A stove. This is the Mito's portable camping stove. It's ultra light, wind resistant, made of durable aluminium alloy and stainless steel and the cooking surface expands to support up to an eight inch diameter cooking pot. Titanium spork.  I've left that in its plastic wrapper because I will be giving all this away. I'm not raffling it away. I'm just going to give it to someone because the last time I did this, a lady reached out to me on Facebook. I said her son really likes my videos so I sent it to him and she sent me some photos of him wearing the bag and using his gear and it made me so happy. So I'm looking to do something similar to that again. The knife I've chosen. It's a classic. It's the Oppanel. This is the number six. You want to go with anything too big? You're not going to be using it for anything other than just simple cutting and slicing. So that's perfect for your hiking and your camping. Right, let's close that up and let's get into the main section. Are you excited? I am. This is your sleep pad. It's the Trekology ultra light sleeping mat. For the weight, the cost and the size of this thing, you're going to be pushed to get better than this. This is an absolute steal. Sleeping bag. We'll get this out. We will have a look at it. It'll pack down a lot smaller than this. You just need to give it a bit of welly and this is lightweight and it's a three season sleeping bag. This kit hasn't been put together for four seasons and for winter because when you're just getting into wild camping, you don't want to push it and get out in winter. I would definitely wait until late spring, summer, early autumn. So this sleeping bag's perfect for that. You're part. This is the Lixada camping cup. It's a 750 milliliter stainless steel mug. It has folding handles and also a bale handle in case you want to cook over open fire. I've used one of these for many moons. As you can see, everything is brand new and it is the Trekology inflatable pillow and it just gives you that extra comfort. I mean, pillows aren't essential. You can roll up your clothes, use your bag, but it is important to have a good night's keep when you're out and to leave your camping experience rested. There's multiple little pockets in your bag. There's a zip section here to put your water bladder in and bring it out of the top there. Little clips to attach your keys or whatever. And then you've got a little cable there, USB, the tent, the Coleman tent. You can't really tell from looking at it here. So I'm going to set it up and let's have a little look around it. Come on. The Coleman sand dome tent is a two person three season tent. It comes in three different colors and I found it a real joy to set up. It's very simple and it took me less than five minutes. Done. There we are. All set up. It has these two main poles that criss-cross over it. They go through some sleeves and then they have these clips that clip onto it as well. There's a crossbeam that attaches the two and it gives you like a porch so you can shelter from the rain there. Extra guidelines on each side. A peg out point for a vent that's under there and I'll tell you something. I absolutely love it. I think it looks great and the setup was really easy. You can get this little porch bit there. Let's have a look inside. Let's go. Right. Zip. Nice feel to the zip. Nice short ties so that it keeps it nice and tight. I can't see that coming undone. That's good, isn't it? Look. I've already set the bed up and the sleeping bag so let's have a look and look at the space in here.  It's roomier than the Allak 2. It's roomier than the Southern Cross 2. It's roomier than the Pioneer 2. It is a true two-person tent. These Trekology sleeping mats, they are quite wide. They're super comfortable, man. And then you've got your blue Trekology pillar with the strap at the back so you can strap it around your air bed so it doesn't go everywhere. And that is comfy. A little floating pocket there that's mirrored on the other side. Look at all that space out there, man. That is delightful. So I can't imagine condensation being a problem. You've got, it's partly meshed. So I reckon this is a really good three-season tent. There's lots of mesh either side to combat condensation. You've got a little attachment point in the roof there to hang your lantern from. Again, vents there. There's a little zip here in the corner and I don't know what this is. If anyone knows, let me know. I'm guessing it's maybe for if you're, if you're lying in bed and you want to check the weather, you've got a little hole there. You could just check without having to open all your main doors. And if that is the case, that's a great little feature. Loads of room out of your door and it's just so spacious. It's better than I thought it was going to be, if I'm honest. Absolutely fantastic. What more do you need? Plenty of room for two people and all your kit. You could even get three people in here cracking, cracking tent. And there you go. Full camping set up for beginners or intermediate campers or anyone really for £290. It's lightweight. It's not going to break the bank and all the gear is quality. I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't think it was good and everything here is good. If I didn't have the tents that I've got, this would definitely be on my radar. And who knows, because for the cost of it, I might just, it's perfect for campsites as well. It's got so much room for like just hanging out in it in summer. I'm very tempted, you know, I'm very tempted. I'm going to be giving all this away. I want to give it away to someone who's just starting out in wild camping or has been, you know, like I say, sat on the fence or doesn't have the money to get their own stuff together. So please don't enter if you've got no need for it. You know, enter if you know someone, your kids or you or your friends or whatever, then please do enter. You'll have to follow me on Instagram. I'm going to make a post about it. And then I'll just say like chuck some up below the post and then you can get random readers online that will take all your comments and then it will choose someone. I'll leave all the links below to everything that you've seen here with the weights, the cost and everything. Right. Thanks for watching. I'll see you all soon. Bye for now. There's something about a tent in the garden that's just, it just triggers my youth. I love it. Are we going to still waffle on? We're not, right? See ya.
