Yes, so the way that my business and my coaching journey started, it wasn't even that I looked at it as a business, it kind of happened just naturally. I played professional basketball, I played overseas and it was the summertime. I was back home, I would be working on my game, whether it be at a private gym, public gym. I would always have parents that would come up to me and they would want me to work with their kids or can you show my son this, can you show my daughter this. So it kind of naturally organically happened and at first, funny when I look back on it, because at first I would kind of ignore it. I would push it to the side. I would just, you know, I just wanted to work on my game and get back to doing what I was doing. But one day I finally, I gave it a shot. I gave it a chance and I really, really enjoyed it. I left the gym that day with a feeling that I never had felt before. Like it was like I had really impacted somebody and it was about something that was bigger than me. So that one kid, he's actually playing at the next level now. So like he, one kid turned to two, turned to four, turned to eight, turned to 16 and it just kind of snowballed over to where now, I mean we're a six-figure business now, working with NBA players, WM players, players of all levels. So it's just kind of organically happened. I know it's kind of a, I almost want to say like a trend now. There's a new coach popping up every day. But I think when you focus on impacting people and trying to make a difference and really caring about the people that are in the gym with you or on the field with you, I feel like your business will just grow technically. Like that needs to be your focus impacting people as much as you can. However you can help them going up. I did it for free for like two years. I did it for free. Just tried to help kids in my family. Try to help them get to the next level and you kind of try to be that person that you didn't have when you were growing up. You know, I've got people in your circle, but I wish I had a mentor. I wish I had somebody that played and it was able to kind of show me the way. So that's how I try to look at it and it turned into a business and it's the same passion that I started with. So that's how I got started. That's awesome. So tell us a bit about your coaching business then. What does your company specialize in? Well, first and foremost, we want to specialize in teaching the right way because I'm sure you see what you've done too. Like there's a lot of PS sets out there and every thing they can teach now. Everybody thinks they can train now. Some people have never played the game. Not that you need to have played to be a great coach. I don't believe that, but I think you really be knowledgeable and know what you're talking about. Obviously, especially I talk to coaches and they're just starting out, you know, they're relatively young and a lot of coaches work with really, really high level players. And you might want that out, but are you ready for that opportunity when it comes? Because you have to work with your stuff. Because even though I played at a high level when I first started, I wanted those high level athletes, but I knew I wasn't ready. You know, you have to continue to learn and grow and talk to people, network with people and learn. And then when that opportunity comes, it's like, man, I'm glad I didn't get this three years ago because there's no way I would have been ready for that. But it's just as you continue to grow and learn. First and foremost, teaching the right way, being knowledgeable in your sport, knowing what you're talking about.  It wasn't followers. It wasn't trying to be something that I'm not like, be you, be authentic. And I think people see the value that you bring your community. They will continue to come. They will continue to support. They will continue to show you love. Obviously, market your business. You know, it's important to have those things. I understand social media as a place, even though I can't stand it as a place in life. But when you focus on those four things, helping people the right way, being cool. I just think those things together will help you build your business the right way. So what have you taken from playing at a really high level now into business? It teaches you so much. It teaches you so much just being able to have the work ethic. Because I've had some clients, they want to go at 5 o'clock in the morning. Some clients want to go 11 o'clock at night, midnight. So it's being able, I'm used to waking up. I'm used to working out. I'm used to putting in that time. And I've been in their shoes. I understand where you're going through at this certain point. I know where you're trying to get. If I don't have the answer, I know somebody that has the answer. I want to try and help you out the best that I can. I don't know everything. I think that coaches sometimes, you know, you've been in something for a while. You've played. We can get an ego. You have to continue to learn. We learn from players just as much as players learn from us. I learn every time I work somebody out. Every time I step in the gym, I'm always trying to learn something. I don't care if it's a younger kid. I don't care if it's a pro. We're always continuing to learn and grow. And that's just how we grow together. And that's just what I've always believed. But yeah, playing, I think when you've played, obviously you have a, you want it, you see things different. You can spot the BS when you see it. And that's the unfortunate side of it is like, I see stuff on Instagram. I'm not going to name names, but I see stuff on Instagram. And it's like, parents are sending their kids here. You know what I mean? I see it because I've played so that a plate can see it, but not everybody sees it. So like, what your company specializes in, I think you need to specialize in teaching the right way. Making sure that these kids, that they're actually going to work on. If I have a kid that's 12 years old and he's a role player, he doesn't have the ball in his hands the entire game. I'm not going to come through a bunch of ISO moves and step backs and all that kind of stuff because he's not going to implement that into his game. I guess at some point it's knowing your clientele, it's studying the people you work with. You need to watch their games. If you're not saying the game and saying the play, you have no business telling them what they should be doing, period. And that's just how I try to look at it. So from playing, I understand that. And I just continue to grow in the right direction. Basketball, football, whatever sport it is that you're trying to teach, you're trying to act the right way that you know what you're talking about. Love that. So talk to us a bit about the difference between working with an NBA client and working with a youth type of athlete. Yeah, so for me, I don't think it really changes much, to be honest. And I'm surprised that some people want to say that. I don't think your energy should change. Your passion should change from a youth athlete to an NBA player. I treat them the same. And what I mean by that is the principles of what I teach don't change. Yeah. Balance, base, everything that we're trying to teach, I don't think it should change. Because I know I see, I get that question sometimes. I know some people, they switch it up from you have a young athlete, you have a higher level athlete and you're trying to change. You really know what you're talking about. And the principles of what you're teaching are correct. I don't think it changes. You should give the same energy. I want to give that kid the same energy that I give somebody that's at the highest level. It's because I think that that's what they deserve. My passion, my foundation of teaching should never change. Whether it's a middle school player, an NBA player, it doesn't change. The foundation of teaching applies to all levels. You might adjust some things and they might do a little bit more advanced things at the highest level. But the core of what you're teaching doesn't change. So talk to us a bit about some obstacles you faced when you first started your coaching business. When I first started, for me, the biggest obstacle was trying to manage additional clients. Like trying to manage a schedule, trying to figure out how to implement a whole schedule, trying to figure out how to run a business. I've never done that before. My whole life was just playing the sport. For now, it's like now you're in the business world. Like I said, it snowballed over to where I just had a couple of kids in the beginning. It's kind of easy to manage. A few days later, now you've got a couple more that are coming. A couple more that are coming and it kind of just snowballs over. The fact that it helped me because I had played against a lot of these guys. So when I started training, a lot of them just wanted to jump in anyways because I competed against them. But for me, that was the toughest thing to manage was just the spiral and trying to figure out how people went and run a business. And that's what connecting. Even now, I'm still learning how to do it, like how to manage a real business. When it starts to scale to six-figure level, it's really tough to figure out how to scale and manage. How are you going to schedule it out? Are you going to do this time? In the beginning, I did a lot of one-on-one because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know how to scale. As you know, and I hear you guys talk about this all the time, but when you're working one-on-one, you can only go so far by yourself. So it's hard to learn, like, man, I want to work smarter, not kill myself anymore. Because I would have to take eight-hour days. It's like, man, I can't do this anymore. So figuring out a way to work smarter, not harder. And still, I'm not sure that they're doing quality work. That's the biggest thing. The scale of it has been the biggest obstacle for me, just continuing to learn. So how many athletes do you currently have in your program? That's a really tough question to answer because it's continuing to grow. Obviously, it gets to a point where I'm starting to pass athletes off to other coaches in the area, just because I don't want to overwhelm myself. But I'm blessed that it's grown to where it's got to. I don't know if I can pinpoint an exact number because it kind of depends on the day and the time of year. Obviously, when it's going to drop a little bit, but you just kind of continue to adjust. Like I talked about in the beginning, when you're genuine with your teaching, when you're really trying to help people, people continue to come. You'll have clients that fall off just naturally over time. That's just how things go. Maybe they stop playing and that's okay. Maybe they transition. Maybe they play multiple sports and now they're in a different season now and they're switching over. But continuing to have new people come in. So I mean, it's just staying busy. A lot of times during the school year, especially with youth athletes, you're working before school, you're working after school. In the middle, I might have some of my college guys or whatever, but it's just continuing to grow and just trying to manage it and just trying to build. Not at the same time, like I talked about trying to work smarter and not overwhelm myself. That's the biggest thing. And do you currently have staff in your business? I don't. That's actually the next step for me is I've had some interns that have come in and they've kind of done their own thing, but it's really, really tough. I was actually just talking to somebody about that right before I got on this, but just trying to figure that process out of hiring somebody. Like who's the perfect candidate to hire and kind of carry on because at the same time, when you run a business and you have a business, that person's not going to have the same passion that you have for the business. The reality of it. So if you could find somebody that could give 60, 70% of what you do, and I could pass a little bit off of it, I feel like that's the person to hire. I mean, we're in the age of entrepreneurs where everybody's trying to do their own thing. So it is tough, but I'm starting that process now. Obviously that helps with the whole scale process because I'm starting the town a lot. So it's like, if I could keep that rolling while I'm gone, that's going to be. So I've had people jump in and help, but just trying to have that consistently would be huge. Awesome. So something I know a lot of coaches are watching are thinking to themselves, how can you build a six-figure business yourself as the coach? So give us a couple of tips on how you can do that. Yeah. I mean, a lot of it is what I've talked about in the beginning. I noticed that because I hear coaches that, especially younger ones that talk about their problems with payments, they have problems with people showing up on time. And the best move that I made, the best business move that I've made so far, and there was a number of people that told me this, just being knowledge, asking the right people that have been in this for years, like just asking coaches if they're doing this for 30, 35 years, what's your process like? How are you signing people up? How are you accepting payments? Just learning those things early. I wish I knew it sooner. I was doing a lot of one-on-ones. I never really had an issue with payments. That was the thing I haven't had an issue with. And that's what I was about to touch on, is just focusing on the value, focusing on the product that you bring. I feel like bringing people value, people will pay. And I wish I figured that out a little bit sooner. So coaches that are watching that are young, that are just starting out, maybe just out of college trying to start a business, trying to get that going. Instead of focusing on the money, when I focused on the money, I made less. But when I just focused on, I want to get this kid to college. I want to get this kid to varsity. I want to get this kid to the next level. That kid told his teammates, or that dad when it told to his work friends, the kids that played, and it just kind of spiraled into that to where we switched things over from a one-on-one standpoint where you get paid when the kids come to a monthly. And when I switched things to a monthly payment system to where it's a commitment for athletes. If athletes are just coming in randomly, maybe you see them once, maybe you don't. Sarah can't make it today. She has a doctor appointment. You have a set time. You have a set weekly meeting. You know where it's at. You don't have to constantly text to communicate. It's set in place. When that was set up, that's when the money really took off. It's funny because I really wasn't even focused on the money. And I don't think you need to have a big social media presence either. That's the thing about it is a lot of people right now are focused on social media. I think it's great. I think it's, you know, that's a great tool to have. I don't have the biggest platform, but I've been able to build a business where it's sustainable.  Because I know that do a part-time, you know, maybe they do stuff at night after work, whatever it is. If you want a job full-time, just focus on teaching the right way, you know, making sure you're bringing value to these kids. If you bring value and you really help them, people will have no problem paying. They will have no problem paying a premium price if you're bringing them value. If you just show them information right off the bat and they've never seen a workout, they don't know who you are. They don't know your store. That's when problems come up. But when they see the value, they understand that you're trying to help their kid and you can actually help them get to the next level. Then I feel like that's when things start to line up for you. So that's how I was able to build it here. One led to another and it's just kind of continued to grow. So it's been great. Yeah, I love the point you made is that when you get less attached to money, your business does better. Yep. Yep. And sometimes that's the mindset we try to teach the coaches in our program. It's like always focus on value rather than money. Because money will come once value is there. Yeah. So where do you see this industry going in the next two to five years? I mean, you've seen how it's grown in the last two to five years. I just did continue to grow. Obviously things are changing when it comes to club sports, when it comes to certain people that are trying to, they see the business and how it's grown. So I feel like more and more people are trying to get into it. Like it's a very saturated market now. Like even five years ago, it wasn't where it's at now. So I just see it continuing to grow. So coaches that are jumping in, we continue to touch on. It's just like just focus on, I don't necessarily say being the best or just continuing to bring value. Like bring the best value, the best teaching. Bring these kids the best value you can bring it. Just help as much as possible. They jump in for money. They jump in for attention. They jump in for cloud. They jump in for all of these things. And honestly, a lot of coaches don't know what they're talking about. That's just the reality that they see a video. They see the money in it and now they want to jump into it. Now they think they can teach. That's the problem. One of the biggest problems in the industry, in my opinion, is just people just, they jump in without the knowledge, without really mastering their craft. And I mean, in the saturated market, I mean, how do you stand out from all these other coaches that are jumping in? Like are you going above and beyond? Because I was heard just saying when I was younger, it's like the person that does more than what they're paid for, best you will get paid more for what they do. You know what I mean? Like if you're willing to go above and beyond for a kid, that's going to affect their life in a positive way. And you're not doing it to get a return. Like you're not doing it to get something. You're doing it because you genuinely care, because you genuinely want to help. And I think if you approach it like that and you actually care about people, it's going to come back and help you in a positive way.  Everybody's training now. And it shouldn't be like that, but everybody's training now. Yeah. Yeah. It's the trend at the moment. Yeah.  I'm not bashing coaches. I mean, you have for the right reasons. And a lot of people are not in it for the right reasons. And I take offense to that if I'm being really honest with it. Like you should be in this for the right reasons and actually trying to make an impact on people. So that's the biggest thing. It's just focus on the right things. All that social media, all the money, all the things that they think comes with it, that will come with it if you approach it with the right mentality. I agree. So talk to us a bit about your current sales and marketing process. Okay. So when it comes to, comes to marketing, word of mouth, most important marketing you will have. I know in today's world, social media is way above and beyond for most people. And I obviously I have Instagram. I have all the social media platforms I post every now and then. I probably should do a little more. That's probably where I'm lacking right now. It's not as much social media just because I'm so, you know, I don't know what I'm doing that I forget to record or just forget to post or just whatever. But it's word of mouth is the best thing, especially locally in your area. If you help people and a kid gets to the next level, say a kid gets to scholarship. I know that. Like they're going to tell somebody, man, like, who are you working with? I was working with, you know, so-and-so. Now those teammates are going to go and it just continues to grow naturally. Like you have to force it and you have to throw it and it's not going to grow organically. It's not going to grow naturally. Like just focusing on the value that you break. That's what I continue to talk about it all the time. It's just focusing on the value that you're helping people. And that's the best marketing you can have. That's how mine grew. It wasn't from social media. I don't have 100,000 followers. I don't. Maybe that does great. I really don't care. I just help people and whatever comes with that is great. The brand deals are great. Social media is great. Money is great. But at the same time, it's like, if I can help kids and even ones that, you know, they might get to a certain level not want to play anymore. But if you've learned work ethic, if you've learned waking up early, if you've learned how to work with the team, because as you know, any field you go into, you're going to have to deal with people. You know, so in those things, you learn a lot through sports. You know, and the AAU world, the sports world is parents, one of my kids, you know, first thing we look at when a new client comes to our businesses, do they want to be here? Is it you that wants to be here? Or is it your dad or mom or aunt or uncle or grandma or grandpa that is forcing you to be here? And you know if they have a passion for it, I want to be there. Because you're going to, that's what it's you that wants to be here. Obviously the parents don't want to pay, they're the ones setting it up. But does your child develop and grow and be here? That's the biggest thing. So my sales process is obviously where we're marketing, just from marketing to transaction, I'm marketing it on social media, but word of mouth is my biggest, is my biggest. It's just being able to constantly grow. You get one guy on the team, it's at a high level, he's going to tell his friends that they're playing and they're going to come to work on it. I want to work with you individually. It just continues to grow. And it's a natural progression and growth. And I think that's the best market you can have in your business. Yeah, completely agree. So what do you look for when you bring on the new client into your program? I touched on it a little bit, but just making sure that they want it, that it's them that they want to improve, they want to be dedicated, they want to commit to it. That's the first thing. Because in the beginning, when people first start a business, I feel like they take on whoever wants to pay, whoever wants to sign up. I'm at a point now where I'm being very picky. I want to make sure the kids that they're going to give value. I think that there are certain situations for kids that maybe they're not completely in love with the game yet, but just for me personally, you have to really have a passion for it. You have to love it, because it's going to be a waste of both of our times. If you're being forced to be here, you're not going to grow, you're not going to get anything from it. So sometimes you have to tell this person, maybe I'm not the right person for you, but I've got somebody else that maybe is a good option and some people don't want to pass that much. But I feel like when you approach it like that, you have a genuine business. You come from a genuine standpoint. You're all the people that want to get better. And that's going to look better on you, because the people that get to the next level, that's your results. If I have a guy that doesn't care, that looks bad on me. I want kids that want to commit, that want to be there and no questions asked. I don't have to worry about you showing up late. I don't have to worry about you showing up today tired. You don't feel like it. Because you're going to have days where you don't feel like it, but you still do it like you, that's the biggest thing about it. So that's how I like to approach new clients. The biggest thing is I want to watch their film. I want to see you play. Use the analogy of it's like a doctor giving medicine. I don't even know what your problem is. I want to see you. I want to see what the issue is. Maybe it's a mental thing. Maybe it's not even anything. Maybe you have all the talent in the world. We see this in every sport where there are kids that they're workout warriors. They can work out all day. They can do all the drills. As soon as they get against competition, they have defense. Now they can't do it. Now it's totally out. So we're just trying to figure out what that issue is and how to address it. And if I answer, like I said, I'm going to try to find somebody that does and try to help them out the best I can. Love that. So talk to us a little bit about the importance of being picky. Because as you mentioned, a lot of coaches just want to accept anyone because they want to make money. How important is being picky with the clients you work with? It's extremely important because it's, you're coming in with a passion for the game. Obviously, you're running a business. You're coming in with a passion. So the kids that come in, they're a reflection of you. So it's like if I have kids that are coming in and they have no passion for the game, you know what I mean? It's going to rub off on me. That makes my brand. That makes my company not look, you know what I mean? Now I look bad. Now I look like I'm chasing money. You know what I mean? I've got a bunch of kids that don't even want to be here. Now I'm not looking forward to going to work. Now I'm not looking forward to going to the gym. I'm excited when I go every day because I know the kids that I'm going to meet up there have a passion. They want to be there. They're looking forward to it. They text me. I don't have to text them. They're like, coach, I'm going to see a three. I'll be there. They're beating me to the gym. I don't have to text them and chase them and I'm getting to the gym and I'm sitting there waiting. You know what I mean? They're not going to be there. They're stretched out. They're ready. They want to get better. And I think it's really, really important because I look back and I turned a lot of people down in the beginning. I did the same thing in the beginning just because I wanted to. And I think it's experience of playing just like noticing because my parents didn't push me. They didn't. They said, if you want to play, we'll support you. We'll be there. But you have to want to do that. If you want to go, you want to go work out. You have to do it. We're not going to push you. They were hands off. I feel like that's a problem. Parents are pushing their kids to go live through their kids because they didn't make it. So now there's a bunch of kids with workouts that don't even want to be there. So it's just being picky is really important because it's a reflection of you. It's a reflection of your passion, your business. Bringing kids that, you know, and obviously there are a lot of kids, some of them are young. They're still growing. They're still going to love the game. But they should want to be there. They should want to have fun because that's when you get better is when you're enjoying it and having fun. You can't teach passion. I can teach skill. I can teach IQ. I can teach your ease, but I cannot teach passion or effort given. Yeah, I agree. So tell us a bit about how, how, how do you manage your money then? Because what I'm guessing when you get to six figures, you must be very good at managing money. Okay. Because not many coaches get to six figures. So give us a couple of things that you, you do within your business that helps you to manage your money better. I think the best thing is investing money back into your business. If that makes sense by continuing to, because this is the vehicle is going to take you for years to come. At least that's what I want. I want this to be something that continues on and then I can eventually pass down to my kids or just, you know, just continue to have that legacy live on is with your money being very, very investing it, putting it away, making sure that if I want to do a camp and I've got coaches coming in, that I'm, you know, I'm networking with the right people. I'm continuing to grow. I'm not just staying local. I'm continuing to grow around the country, trying to meet different people, trying to invest in the right things that's going to grow my brand. Because it's more than just basketball. Like I've got involved in other things such as like news brand that I'm wearing right now. I'm involved with them now, like continuing to be as involved with different things as possible so you can continue to grow your market and just be far with your money. Like you touched on it. A lot of coaches, a lot of people in general aren't smart with the money. They spend what they don't have. They invest in things that they probably shouldn't because if you get clients paying upfront, that's a lot of money right away that you're getting right away. So it's being very, very smart and almost being frugal, man. Like just trying to be as smart as possible and investing in your business.  Like I go on vacation once a year, but I'm not going to a bunch of different places. If I go somewhere, I have a camp or something that I'm going to make some money while I'm there. Like just continuing to make smart decisions, be very, very smart with your money and put it right places. Just learn about those things early and just trying to be smart with it and just learn from people before you. That's the biggest thing. I try to always ask questions. I always try to learn from other people. That's how I found you guys. I was just trying to look at different resources and people that have been doing this for a long time. How would they make out here? What are the things that I can learn from them and continue to implement it to mine? Or maybe it's not exactly the same, but you can take things from a lot of different people and make it your own and grow it. And now you can pass it on to somebody else so they don't make the same mistake. So it's just managing your money and being very, very smart. And the biggest thing is invest in your business. Learn as much as you can. We talked about master craft. Go to events. Like if there's an opportunity where you can network with other coaches and learn, because we don't know everything. So just for 20 years and not know everything, I can go learn something from somebody. I can learn something from you right now. I already have on this call. You can learn something from somebody every day. So just continue and try and invest in that knowledge as much as possible. But that's how I always try to approach it and just be smart. Just make smart decisions and try to learn. Yeah, I agree. So how do you stay self-disciplined? I give all the credit to my mom.  My dad was still in my life and involved. Just watching my mom do everything. You know what I mean? That's everything. And my dad was always there and always on me. He went to all my games. He wasn't in the household, but he was still involved in my life. And they just brawned me, you know what I mean? Right there from the jump about just being committed to what you do and whatever it is that you jump into. You finish it. You give 100%. You commit to it. And just trying to be, you know, I expect commitment from athletes. So I need to be committed. I can't be mismanaging anything. You have to be very, very organized. If you're in this business, you're in this industry and you're disorganized. You're not organized. It's going to be rough, especially if you continue to grow and scale. It's going to be very difficult. You're going to miss appointments.  Just being organized is one of the most important things. I'm still learning that. I'm still trying to be as organized as possible, but it's, you learn as you go, but just try to learn from other people. Don't be afraid to talk to people.  They don't want to talk to each other. Like, and it's like that in my city. It's like this in other cities. I talk to the coaches all the time about, you know, how do you network with other coaches in your area? Oh, it's the competition. They don't want to, you know, I guess we can share knowledge and grow the game together. Like we can make this industry better together by learning from each other. I'm not afraid to share anything. Like ask me any question I'm going to answer. I don't care. Like I'm open book because we've been through things and you know, there's been issues that have come up that we don't want another person to go through. Like the industry to grow in the right way so that the athletes that we're helping are continuing to grow in the right way. So I just constantly share knowledge and make sure that we're growing everything in the right direction and that is progressing the right way. It's the most important thing. Yeah. Yeah. Love that. And also I think as well it's having a mentality of treating your business as a way of life. Yeah. Because you've got a lot of coaches who preach things to their players and then they don't do what they coach. Absolutely. As you said, it's about, if you're going to tell your athletes to do something, then you have to do it as well. Yup. And I try not to say this often because people sometimes take it the wrong way but I always talk about it. If you can't do it, don't teach it. And all I mean by that is what you just said. Like I don't necessarily mean you need to be able to do the exact move or whatever. Like I said, some coaches didn't play the sport. Some coaches, you know, and they can be great coaches just because you didn't play. You know, but it's just, if you can't implement what you're talking about, athletes see through that. It's very obvious.  You know what I mean? You can tell right away if somebody doesn't know what they're talking about or if they're not serious, especially high-level athletes. They pick that product. It's like, I talked about it in the beginning because one of the biggest things is people see these big-time trainers and they want to have elite athletes. I've been very blessed to be in an area that has a lot of high-level athletes and be able to be in the gym with them. They pick up BS right away. If you don't know what you're talking about, if you're not serious, if you're not prepared, I know coaches have workouts not prepared. They have a study to athlete. They don't know their game. They don't know anything. They're coming in with just, I'm going to just figure it out when I walk in. I'll just figure it out. Pro athletes, they're coming prepared. They're coming ready. They want to get better. Youth athletes, you know what I mean, especially elite ones, like that's the same kind of principle. I want to come prepared and treat them the same way. I want to be prepared because athletes go through BS.  That's why, you know, I wanted to go on top of that, but it's just, if you don't know what you're talking about, they see through it. Just continue to acknowledge on your craft and just be authentic. Don't be something that you're not. If you can't do it, just ask them. I agree. So Martin, tell us, where do you see your business in the next five years from now? I'm very day-by-day with everything. I try to take it day-by-day. Obviously, long-term, I'd like for you to grow. Just continue to connect with great people like yourself. Just continue to learn and know as much as I can about sports, business, and just have as much as possible. It's great to connect with people. It's great to network as much as possible. Networking is a very important part of coaching that I don't think is talked about that much. It's being very, very good at talking to people about having those conversations. How did you approach this? And people are very... Because in the field that we're in, it can be a very lonely job. You can be in your city just with your clients, minding your own business in your corner. Just not talking to people, not engaging, not sharing your knowledge, not trying to get knowledge from other people. And you can just be stagnant like that, but I don't think it's... You want to talk about how to grow a company. You grow through other people. Nothing important doesn't depend by yourself ever. It's through networking with other people and you guys grow together. That's the best way to approach it. So I just want to continue to connect, continue to grow. I don't know everything. I will never know everything. I want to continue to learn and grow. There's no ego involved ever. Just continue to help people as much as possible. Try to get as many kids to the next level as we can. It's crazy when you continue to get older because when you've done this for a while, you start with kids that are like some kids in our colleges that I have when I was eight. It's just crazy to me to see the progression in how these kids grow. So just try to feel impact as much as possible. That's the biggest thing for me. Great. Perfect. Well, I want to thank you for coming on here and sharing your story with our audience. I know for sure you're probably going to impact a lot of our viewers. So if any coach wants to follow you or get in contact with you, what is the best way to do that? So I have two Instagram pages. My personal one is martin underscore Anderson two five three. My business is just Martin Anderson basketball. That's both my Instagram pages. I try to respond as much as possible, but I respond right away. That's the best way to keep in touch, keep in contact. Any questions? I'm an open book. I try to address as much as I could on here just because I see things in the industry. I just wanted to have a conversation just about things that I see, but if it's anything I touch on, I would be happy to have those conversations with whoever. So those are my two Instagrams. Awesome. Okay. So, well, thanks again for coming on and look forward to connecting with you again in the future. Absolutely, man. Stay in touch. I would love to. Thank you. Sir.


Hello everyone this is Dr. Sanjeev Mani from Indian Radiologist. Today I will be speaking on liver segments as we see them on ultrasound as well as on common hepatic lesions that we come across in our day-to-day practice but first let's go straight to the liver segments. We know them very easily on CT scan but it's very easily seen on ultrasound as well and the way of justifying these segments on ultrasound is the same system as well. It is a Q-node classification of hepatic segments where the liver has been divided into eight segments based on the vascularity as well as the biliary radicals that is each segment has its own inflow of blood, outflow of blood as well as a biliary radical. So it's a very simple way to differentiate it and know these segments on ultrasound but first let us understand how they are labeled. So it's a pretty simple you start from the left lobe and we go two four eight seven that is two and four are the left lobe of liver. Eight and seven are the right lobe of liver. Now these divisions are made by the hepatic veins that is the right hepatic vein the middle hepatic vein as well as the left hepatic vein and I'm going to show you how on a demo. As we go below this level the level of the total vein as it crosses through the liver becomes the benchmark for the segments below these four segments. So those four segments that are below these segments will be six that lies below seven, will be five that lies below eight. Four is actually divided into four A and four B and there'll be three that lies below two. So simple way to remember is multiples of two you go two four eight from left to right and then go downwards. So again from eight there will be seven will be six five four and three. So let's find out how this works out. So again if you come to this diagram once more we have two four eight seven we're going downwards right so below seven will be six then five four and three. We have the hepatic veins that divide two four eight and seven and the total vein level which divides three four five and six.  So let's start scanning. Well here at the top of the liver you can see the IVC over here this is the right rope and we can see the right middle as well as the left hepatic vein. So you can see the right hepatic vein here middle hepatic vein here left hepatic vein here. So if we pause right here I have the right hepatic vein and the middle hepatic vein so we've got to know that the segments are between over here here as well as here. Let's go back to it. So if we pause here as well you can see left hepatic vein middle hepatic vein and right hepatic vein. So this segment over here to the left of the left hepatic vein becomes segment two this becomes segment four so four A because it is a superior level this segment between the middle hepatic vein and the right hepatic vein will become segment eight and the one to the right of the right hepatic vein will become segment seven. So we have two four A eight and seven. Okay once again clearly seen dome of diaphragm right branch middle branch this is segment seven and segment eight. Now let's move down and what we see here is the portal vein. So this level marks the difference between the superior and the inferior segments. So if you remember a segment below seven or six one below A plus five one below four A is four B and one below two is three. It is at this level onwards and inferiorly that we will mark the lesions in those particular segments as six five four B or three. So as we go on we see the main branch of the portal vein here and we move inferiorly towards the kidney. So this is the inferior aspect of the liver we know so when we see the kidney and we see corresponding liver tissue there that becomes segment six. So let's try to understand this by seeing some common cases that we come across in our day-to-day practice. This is our first one again right loop of liver we know that this is the right branch this is the middle branch of the hepatic vein. So anything to the right of the right branch of the hepatic vein will be in segment seven. What we're seeing here is a small little grand pneumatic lesion or a calcified lesion in segment seven benign condition leave another lesion. Next case again we see a cystic error you know it's a cyst it's clear thin walled dark one ultrasound or hypoechoic with posterior acoustic shadowing you're seeing the kidney right here so this is at a level below the portal vein where you see kidney here you see the right lobe of liver and hence this becomes a lesion in segment six. So like I said characteristics of hepatic cysts these are very clear well-defined thin walled posterior acoustic enhancement that you see which is a classic ultrasound artifact that helps us differentiate these lesions and know that they assist and of course the location adjacent to the kidney and in the lower part of the right lobe of liver actually it is below segment seven so this becomes segment six. We move to our next case now and we have a young male about 40 years old with the fever and right upper corded pain you see again a lesion which is fairly well defined however it has got a lot of internal echoes within it and as you can see it's in the upper half of the liver this happens to be the dome of diaphragm and this happens to be the right lobe of liver so we got to find out in which segment this is okay that's the kidney so this would be segment six so it's higher up once again we make our probe transverse look at the lesion look at the kidney and you know it is higher up and we can check and look out for these hepatic veins right here and what we can see once again I'm looking down to see that there's nothing in segment six but as I go up along the level of the hepatic veins you see this lesion right here and as we trace the hepatic veins you know this is right and middle we try to assess where exactly this lesion is put on the Doppler and if I pause it right here that's our dome of diaphragm that's the IVC that's right branch that's the middle branch and you see the lesion to the right of the right branch and hence this lesion is a segment seven lesion once again you can see this three hepatic veins in fact the right branch is getting deviated that's left middle and right so this lesion is a segment seven liver abscess usually liver abscesses end up in the right lobe of liver because of sequential blood flow in the portal vein because the amoebic infection usually lies in the secan and ascending colon and that flow usually ends up going towards the right branch of portal vein and hence the area of the right lobe of liver usually segment seven and eight happens to be a common spot for amoebic lesions move to our next case now once again this is a tricky case because this patient came with a calcified lesion in the liver however the pet CT showed high metabolic activity which was very unusual so we had a look on ultrasound and you can see a calcified lesion right there we will check where the lesion is this lesion is in segment 4b as it is to the left of the portal vein you see a calcified lesion but just next to that lesion you are seeing another hypoechoic area right there so you see the calcified lesion you see a hypoechoic lesion so you know it's a new lesion this patient was C.A. colon the calcified lesion was an old lesion in the liver and the patient unfortunately had developed a new hypoechoic area which came up on the pet CT but when we did the ultrasound and we go back to the pet CT you can see that that's the calcified lesion but there is another abnormality right there in the left loop once again another case liver right lobe IVC right branch small lesion right there under the diaphragm to the right of the right hepatic vein so hence segment 7 fungal lesion again thick walls edematis internal echoes patient had fever and epigastric vein so you know this is an abscess all right it's an abscess in the liver now we want to know which segment this is okay so once again we're looking at left lobe actually because you can see the heart right there and that's the stomach so this happens to be in the left lobe almost hitting the capsule and again we will look at the section where we see the hepatic veins we're seeing the hepatic veins right there you can see the middle hepatic way in there and you can see the left so this lesion lies between the middle hepatic vein as well as the left hepatic way as well as well as to the left of the left hepatic vein as well so this lesion lies in segment 2 and 4 a so when we put on the color because we're getting some artifacts from the heart but you can see that left branch left hepatic way in there and right hepatic way in right here so this happened to be a lesion in segment 4a and 2 of the liver and next case once more IVC boom of diaphragm right branch middle branch left branch segment 2 segment 4a segment 8 segment 7 and let's see where this lesion is going down at the level of the portal vein so what was below segment 7 will be segment 6 what was below segment 8 will be segment 5 below 4a is 4b and below 2 would be 3 and we see this lesion alright again what is it thin wall cystic acoustic shadowing as a hepatic cyst we don't see it at the level of the hepatic veins in fact we say a level at or below the portal vein so it is in the inferior segments so now you don't know whether it's 6 5 4b or 3 so we don't see it here but we see it below we see it to the left of the portal vein so this happens to be below segment 4a and hence this happens to be segment 4b what is it it's a simple cyst in segment 4b of the left loop of liver our next case again IVC right middle left 2 4a 8 7 let's move on so we have now moved below those hepatic veins we move to the level of the portal vein so again when we are the level of the portal vein you got to look what was about this what was about this it was segment 4a about this so this will be segment 4b what do we see slightly regular but pretty echogenic and pretty homogeneously echogenic lesion seen in the liver commonest condition is a hemangoma common and leave alone lesions this again was an interesting case we see lesions in the right loop of liver so initial look was hemangoma but when we look very closely a few of them like about 3 4 over there in number however some of them had a slightly hypercaria inside you can get them in atypical hemangomas you can get them in large hemangomas but ideally we would want further investigation probably a triple phase CT to confirm this finding now move to another case and here you can see an irregular outline of the liver and this is a patient which is non-alcoholic clearly defined irregular left loop but as you move to the right loop you see a large echogenic lesion not like an hemangoma of course although it's fairly homogenous but you have a slight central echopore area and we're seeing this in the right loop and in a patient with cirrhosis the first diagnosis an only diagnosis that comes to mind is a hepatoma always always check for portal vein all right you have you may be doing a simple ultrasound and you say why should I put on color not a bad idea to put on color to see the vascularity of the lesion in the liver the hepatoma as well as to see portal vein for tumor thrombosis so this should always be done even if the request is not for a Doppler study you come to another case what do we see again this patient of cirrhosis seeing a very dirty picture all right but if you look carefully what we do see is a mass out here you can see a mass lesion right there so this also turned out to be a hepatoma but look closely at the portal vein you see it echogenic it's filled with material inside and this is tumor thrombosis it's extension of the tumor into the portal vein causing portal vein thrombosis this is a very common or should I say not so uncommon condition that we see in hepatomas especially those that come up quite adjacent to the point and of course we put on color you can see a slightly tram track appearance right there but you do not see the clean flow that we associate normally with the portal vein so this condition is a mass lesion hepatoma with tumor thrombosis formation within the portal vein once again the lesion lies adjacent to the portal vein at the level of the portal vein so it can't be the upper segments it's the lower segments it's turned out to be a lesion in segment 5 as well as 6 another case over here again once the lesion so what you see this patient was asymptomatic actually routine checkup medical checkup again hepatic veins right and middle you see the lesion adjacent to the right hepatic vein just below the diaphragm look like an old infected lesion or old saw some slight limb calcification also in it so again middle hepatic right hepatic diaphragm lesion this happens to be segment 7 what was it it turned out to be an old hydrated as the patient had history of having hydrated infection in the past with a clear unilocular cyst about 15-20 years ago the patient had preserved his records and you can see hydrates in various forms you can see them it's unilocular sometimes sometimes you can see tortoises you can see ruptured hydrated sometimes going into the lung you can also see a water lily sign because of collapse of the endocyst the membrane however nowadays we see hydrates is not so commonly like we used to maybe a decade ago on no case see every and as soon as you put your probe on the liver you see these multiple eco-poor lesions high-poor as well as hyper and instantly you know this is liver metastasis you see it started both lobes for the left side as well as the right side and this is quite a simple diagnosis case of liver metastasis involving both lobes of liver so with that we come to the end of this tutorial I hope you enjoyed it and if you did like it please do comment like or share and once more there's a shout out for Sonobas the conference that's on-site in person and whatever you call it we're gonna have a great time it's on Jan 8th and 9th details are on our website IndianRadiologist.com have fun and take care this Sunday bye bye


Hey friends today We are hanging out at Disney Springs and we are going to be going around trying all the new snacks for the month of June Of course We have Gideons to look forward to and their new cookie of the month, but June is also pride month So there's a whole bunch of different pride snacks and even some beverages that I can't wait to show you guys Anyhoo, let's go do this Today is June 1st So it's the 1st of the month And I always come to Disney Springs on the 1st of the month to try all the new items and because it's pride month They have this really awesome photo opportunity art. How cool is that? We're gonna head straight back to Gideon so we can put our name on the virtual wait list It could be a 15 minute wait or it could be a three hour wait Who knows and also I wanted to point out that June 1st is also the start of the Florida Hurricane season so we are in it. We're in the hurricane season now Looks like there was no virtual wait list today It's all just a standby line and it's only gonna be like maybe a five to ten minute wait And here is the new menu for the month of June. I love it It looks really really cool And then of course the new cookie of the month is the white chocolate caramel macadamia nut cookie And this is a returning classic like this has been here before but they improved the recipe in the salted caramel Is a little bit stronger and then also the rainbow crunch cake which was on the menu for Saturdays Is now gonna be on the menu every single day for the month of June for pride month So that's gonna be cool because everybody loved that cake including myself. The marshmallow frosting was amazing On top of the cookie. I think they brought back the salted caramel cold brew So since we're getting a salted caramel cookie, maybe I'll get the salted caramel cold brew and then later on I think we're gonna hop over to play pick because they have a special drink for the month of June that I can't wait to show you guys as well Looks like it's our turn. Oh boy How you doing? They're good There it is the new cookie of the month white chocolate caramel macadamia nut and then they have the coffee cake cookie right there Their original chocolate chip and then lots of cake slices actually and of course we can see the rainbow crunch one there I'm so excited. I had the rainbow crunch last time I was here So I think I'm just gonna stick to the cookies today All right, I got my salted caramel cold brew and then here comes the white chocolate Caramel macadamia nut cookie. I am so excited. You got to flip it upside down. Look at this bad boy. Oh It looks amazing. I am so excited. This might be like one of my favorite style cookies It's just looks amazing. Look at that. Look at the bottom. Look at the undercarriage of this cookie the undercarriage. I say Also, just want to throw out a quick fit check here, but take a look at the Batman Roosevelt shirt I'm wearing today. Isn't that amazing? I love this shirt so much It's so colorful and you have Harley Quinn. He had Joker very very cool There is a promo code in the description. You guys know PMM 20 for your first order. It's so amazing Anyhoo, let's get to this cookie. Let's let's let's break this cookie down here So we're gonna actually set it up and we're gonna go right right down the middle here See how the cookie crumbles. Look at that.  This is wow. I Don't think I've ever ranked any of the cookies before. You know, I never put them in order And I'm thinking maybe I should and if I do this might be in the top three for me I mean, I love I love white chocolate macadamia nuts and I add the little caramel twist to it And it's like the perfect cookie for me and I think I'm gonna work on a list I'm gonna put together my top three Gideons cookies and I think this actually might be in there So I'll share it with you. Maybe the next time we come or next month Let me know in the comments what your favorite cookie is like, you know, I mean, it's tough for me to say I did love the Kris Kringle cookie. That was one of my favorites There's so many amazing different flavors that they have and the pistachio ones are always a go-to classic But this right here much too good much much too good I wanted to show you guys the caramel inside the cookie. Look at that. It's actually all throughout the cookie It's perfectly balanced and I love that Also, I have to say I like how I pair up my cold brews with my cookies You know, I mean if I'm getting a peanut butter cookie I get the peanut butter cold brew if I got a cookies and cream cookie I get the cookies and cream cold brew and I did that today with the salted caramel and a little birdie said that There could be possibly maybe possibly maybe a new cold brew coming out next month. Maybe maybe Our next stop is gonna take us over here to Aaron McKennon's bakery And I always like to try to show something here and I'm pretty sure they're gonna have Something for Pride month and it's always cool to point out that it's always vegan always gluten-free and always delicious Whenever I come here usually my go-to is the pineapple upside down cake Let me tell you something that is phenomenal And I would get that today if we weren't looking for especially like month items So if they have a specially month item, we're gonna go with that if not probably a pineapple upside down cake And take a look at this. They've got rainbow pride month cake bar. Thank you. It's Batman It's very colorful, right? So I think I'm gonna go for it. I think I'm gonna grab myself a rainbow pride month cake bar. They look so fancy And here it is look at that isn't that crazy it's it's vegan It's gluten-free and it's delicious and it's a vanilla cake Which is like vanilla icing and then a sugar cookie hard on top and I can't wait to dive into it Like and I always sometimes in the past I always call Aaron McKennon's Kate McKennon because I just think McKennon and I think of Saturday live But I'm excited to dive into this. All right, we're gonna take a little bite on the corner here That's amazing how? It really does blow my mind how they can make this without eggs or butter or milk And it's still so good and that's how the whole entire bakery is. I mean that is phenomenal so good and it's gonna be the special of the month all month long for pride month Now that we got to try another snack I think it's time to switch it up a little bit and maybe grab ourselves a drink look for something That's like a monthly special and you know the play pig is always one of my favorite places to go And I'm pretty sure they have a special drink for the month of June So we'll head over there next and I brought my cake home with me I mean, I don't know if I need to tell you guys about this But I might as well disclose it usually whenever I do food reviews like this I don't actually eat all the food so I usually end up at the end of the day with a whole bunch of snacks I always keep my Gideons sometimes. I don't like take them home like the cake I was like, oh, I kind of want to keep this because it was really good But usually that's what a review isn't like a review you try it sample it You don't eat a lot so that way you can try more As we make our way over to the polite pig though I think maybe I should run into sprinkles here and get Gracie or cupcakes and also see if they have a special Cupcake for the month of June. Yeah, we'll just go take a little quick stop in little pit stop at sprinkles All right, the pup cups have been secured I'm so excited and they do have a special cupcake for the month of June and it's not ready yet But they sent me a picture so I'm gonna show you guys that once we get outside Gracie's gonna be so excited. They got the bones back on top of the cupcakes. She's gonna love it She noticed they've been missing. She knows And here a look at the cupcakes that are gonna be here I think they start June 3rd and doesn't it look so awesome It says love love on them and of course they have little sprinkles, but they also have sprinkles on the inside I wish they were available today because I would have loved to break one in half But they will be here very soon. So if you see it be on the lookout for these I Cannot wait to give Gracie her pup cake later on. She's been looking for them and I felt bad I ran out and I haven't been back to Disney Springs. So I got her some today, and she's gonna be happy Alright, and here we are our next stop the polite pig And here it is the monthly special the pride and passion cooler a refreshing drink made with rum Apple pucker and passion fruit puree and it comes with little sprinkles on the rim there a nice rainbow straw I love it. It's very photogenic. Don't you think like very fancy We got to give it the sift test here Wow That's really good very very refreshing. I like this a lot I definitely like the apple pucker in there and a little bit of a rum mix And I like I said, I think just the way it looks self in on its own, but cheers I Really feel like this is one of those drinks You don't want to drink because it will make it look not so pretty and that's what it's happening right now I kind of like I'm like wait. I want to just look at it a little bit more and Something else. I want to point out to you that I feel incredibly Incredibly honored take a look at this piggy hour menu and this is the happy hour If you guys remember last time I was here I got the sweet tea wings and sweet tea fried chicken But take a look at the top here on the menu itself in honor of mr. Morrow. I am very honored That is the best thing ever. I am so excited Cheers If you do plan on coming out for piggy hour It's Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. To 6 p.m. And it's $2 off ravenous pig beer Which is their beer here and then cocktails are $2 off and all of the polite bar bites are $9 and that's including the sweet tea wings and the pork belly lettuce wraps such an amazing deal Also as we're sitting here We get a sneak peek at the new cocktail that they're gonna have for next month and it's the collide Mojito, which is a mojito with rum and bourbon in it if you guys didn't know bourbon is a thing here a polite pig So cheers to that That is really good only I've ever had a mojito with bourbon in it before but I like it All right, it's time to move along the pride and passion drink at polite pig was amazing But we need to make our way over here to amaretz and get ourselves the special monthly cake now I noticed that they don't have any advertisement out for it because usually they have it on the stanchion sign But it's not here and I know they have it because they know that I'm coming so once we go inside We'll get a look at it The best thing about coming and doing these videos monthly like I do is you kind of get in a routine of things You know what I mean? I always have certain places that I go to and that I know and even them like the people that work that they know that I'll be coming like on the first of the month or nearer than and it's so awesome because you get to meet people and talk About like the last time you got to have something and it's really really fun And here it is the jewel of pride dark chocolate chiffon cake Salted caramel buttered popcorn mousse chocolate covered pretzels candy pecan pieces covered in a white chocolate glaze and it looks so fun Yes And here it is look at that Looking all fancy it had like this nice little tiny loop on top, but I touched it and it fell apart It's very fragile see who and it just fell apart more But I like how they have the little rainbow Mickey down here and I'm not too sure what this piece was I'm gonna put it back up there. There we go and we're gonna cut into it here now And I'm excited. I'm so excited because this looks just so fancy. So we're going all in Whoo, oh Wow, look at the inside there. Oh my lord Pretzels and pecans they've got everything There we go first bite this looks so amazing like I said between the pretzels the pecan the cake and everything Wow That is phenomenal, I'm not even kidding. This might be the best thing I think I've ever had an amaretz I Really really love this like that is so good. I was not expecting it to be this good Sadly, this is something that probably won't make it home. It doesn't hold up in the heat too well I've I've experimented with the chiffon cakes from here before and they don't you know They don't make it. They're not gonna make it, but I'm gonna enjoy as much as I can now I Highly suggest that so like if I can tell you to come out and give one thing this might be it I mean if you like pretzels pecans and cakes in which who doesn't like you got at least like one of those things That was so Amazing like holy moly like I like I said, I think that's probably my favorite thing I've ever gotten from Amoratz even though I love the pistachio eclair That's my go-to there like when it's non like monthly specials. I usually get the pistachio eclair, but that right there so amazing I Made my way to the front where world of Disney is and I saw this big sign here that says Disney Springs artwork a Canvas of expression join us in celebration of creativity Visit an outdoor gallery showcasing the work of local and international artists and the vibrant cultures that shape them So we might actually swing back and check that out in a little bit It's located adjust to the town center bus loop and that's the other way So we'll have to check it on the way out Before we actually go check out the artwork since we're up here by the world of Disney might as well take a Peak see inside see if anything catches our fancy and buy it if I mean if anything does catch our fancy we should buy it My lord look at this. I am so shocked right now Gracie is gonna be in heaven It is a little dog bed Relax and recharge. I can't even get over this. I'm buying it right now. I'm buying it now They have so much stuff not just dog beds. They have collars. They have two toys. They have mats.  I'm getting it off. Oh, she's gonna love it I can't wait to set it up when I get home and see her sit down in it I got like so shocked when I saw it and I ran over but these are the best things ever The dog bed is 44 99 and it has Cinderella castle all around the outside of it Gracie's gonna love this. She's gonna have pup cups a new bed and a new Dining mat when she gets home. I can't wait to set it all up Seriously, this is so cute Well, well worth it. I see how much the dining mat is. I don't see anything. I'm calling it a dining mat I don't see a price for it, but it doesn't matter price doesn't matter. I'll take it. I'll buy it at a high price I'm using the mobile checkout and it looks like my total came to 55 36 with the Mickey Mouse mat and the bed and I will pay that all day all day every day I cannot wait to see her reaction. She doesn't need a new bed. She loves the bed that she has but I want this bed for her Oh my lord, if you guys can see the way I look when I'm walking around with all these bags It's hysteric. I'm actually gonna set the camera up and walk by and show you guys As I was like walking by the camera I literally was hearing the song from pretty woman in my head as I was walking by and I don't even know Why it just felt that way because you know that one day when she goes back and she's like do you work on commission?  It just felt like it Pretty woman walking down the street pretty woman All right now we got to make our way down to the canvas of art display I want to check it out, but like I said, I have no idea why the pretty woman soundtrack popped in my head there But I liked it. Oh Well, look at this sign here, too. This is nice This isn't the art of canvas, but I kind of like it. I didn't notice it until now I'm glad that sometimes I make a big loop around so then I can catch all the things. I didn't see when I first walked in. Oh I think these are the yard canvases right here over by the bus depot and it's pretty. It's actually really nice I'm happy. I came and looked at it this way. There's a couple of them here Oh, and then we have some nice walls over here. These are some good photo walls That is so cool I would have never known that these were over here if I didn't see that sign because normally I don't take the buses to any of The resorts and I either park in the garage or go to the uber and rideshare local pickup location So I would have never known Pretty pretty fancy though All right Now we have to make our way down to the other side of Disney Springs to Everglades doughnut because they have a Special pride month doughnut that I cannot wait to show you guys and I know really don't visit this location that much I don't go to Everglades doughnuts that much, but I thought today. I had to show it. It looks so cool And take a look at that the pride doughnut all these doughnuts look amazing They have mounds a coconut dream the nifty 50 the nifty 50 and then a fruity pebbles one too So I'm very excited Holy moly this doughnut is gigantic. Look at this. We're gonna open it up there I'm definitely not gonna be able to finish this but What? That is crazy Crazy And of course we're gonna have to we're gonna have to break it open. We have to see what's inside So here we go. Oh, should I do it this way? Oh, boy. This is really gonna ruin this color Oh, no, we gotta do it this way gotta do it this way. Oh That's a little gummy there I Technically we did not need to break that doughnut open because there's nothing on the inside, but it was cool Now we're gonna try it. There's no way I'm gonna be able to finish this one, but we're gonna try it at least mmm Super sweet Wow This is super super sweet I mean if you like sweet stuff, you're gonna love this doughnut I feel like I've had too much sweet stuff today So I think it's getting to me but the gummies really good I like the little rubber gummy rubber gummy the gummy gummy the rainbow gummy. Wow my wards. They're not working. I Feel like the doughnuts here at Everglades are very dense like they're not very airy and I like doughnuts like very airy and fluffy These are just massive very very big doughnuts very dense and Yeah, I think it's just too much for me Now that we've taken care of the doughnut business I wanted to swing back down to the meta quest because they actually seen the video where I came out last time and They invited me back out to try it again and to give me some additional footage. So I said, yeah, absolutely If you're not sure what the meta quest is it's a free interactive experience down here We get to actually go into galaxies edge Virtually and like go into August 18 And it's really awesome to cost nothing and even when you do get to actually do the experience They actually give out prizes like I've seen them give out gift cards and free posters and also some free coffee mugs So you definitely want to check it out. If it's free, it's for me Like I said earlier I've done this before and I want to point out that this is the old NBA experience And it's a really cool interactive thing and you end up putting like the Meta quest you put the headset on and you basically go to Star Wars tales from galaxies edge And this is a game that you can buy. So I'm very excited to show you guys again because it is fun. I Had to take my hat off because I know then we put in the headset on doesn't fit well with the hat And it's still shocking every time when I find out that I'm bald Hey, how are you man? Welcome Very cool Delmar nice to meet you man. Nate. Yeah, good to see you All right Star Wars tales from the galaxy Well, I'm excited. Yeah The camera that you play in Experience is drawing pair technician and that's your boss move on right there. Gotcha You crash landing on the planet about to And the cantina the final we see just like that big guy right there very cool More than well, yeah But there is a mission the mission Cargo so you can leave to play the box here. Yeah, cheers Can I throw this at her Assets better tales of course we went in one scales Here we go.  Hey There we go, all right here we go Oh No Once you get done with the experience you can come out and they give you a free MetaQuest water bottle. Isn't that cool and postcards too, right? Yeah, look at these fancy things. I Like it. You got to hit the swag booth, you know, I'll take this one Thank you Yes, yes Now my collections complete That was so awesome. I love the MetaQuest I think it's so fun and this time I have some gameplay footage that I can insert in there and show you guys and I'll put all the information in the description below in case you guys are interested in it And like the footage probably doesn't do it justice It just feels so realistic like you're really really there and I love that like and it's something free to do Something free and it's all the way here. It's here for another month So I think we're gonna maybe head home set up Gracie's bed give her a pup cup and Yeah, a day well spent here at Disney Springs as you can tell as I'm walking around with this gigantic mattress in my back Gracie, there she is. I got you a good present Whoa with a smile Hi Gracie was so excited to see me until she saw the gigantic bag that I was carrying and then she got afraid because she's like big things So let's show her her bed give her a pup cake and set up her new food area This is her food area right now at the moment I thought she was on the contemporary one, but she's actually on the monorail mat And we're gonna swap it out for this one right here and see how it looks. I Don't know. I don't think I like it They look so tiny now. Maybe I should see what it looks like with the Mickey on top of the mat I'm sure it would look a lot better if she had a matching bowl set But I mean she needs her 101 Dalmatians water bowl like I can't give her something other than that So I always buy the sets but I always break them up because she's always gonna have that as her water dish You know what I mean, it's perfect for her so I can never give her something else and I only have one of them and Yeah, I'm I think I'm gonna slide this back over here.  I think that looks good You want a pup cup, huh? What do you think you want a pup cup you want this all right? I'm gonna put it right here. Oh, yeah, it's yours go get it What are you doing? What are you doing? Gracie has three different dog beds, but she doesn't really use any of them. She doesn't sleep in her dog bed she sleeps with me and She likes to sit in one in the corner in the bedroom like I have no idea It's it's such an awkward spot like it's behind the door, but she likes to sit in it sometimes so I think I'm gonna swap that one out with the new one and Hopefully she'll hop in it and the other ones like I have around the house I wanted a living room. She never uses I have one on the patio outside so that she can sit there instead of sitting on the pavement And she just sits in the pavement so she doesn't use the day. You know what I mean? So I'm gonna swap that one and see if she'll actually maybe use it This is the bed that she likes to sit in look at her act here.  She hears me talking about her. What are you doing? Huh? It's behind the door though It's so strange. So I'm gonna give you a new bed, okay? This one's gonna go into your new bedroom Yeah, it's gonna go over there now We got a new one for you. Come on over here What do you think? Huh? What do you think you like it? Do you like it? Wait, you left What? I thought you liked it. Do you not like it? What do you think? I like it. Oh I like it. I like your new bed. Yes, I do As you can see Dalmatians have completely taken over my bedroom. I Just love it and I love Gracie. So it's perfect, you know, I Was hoping that maybe you would like to sit in your new bed Is that something you're interested in? Sounds like you're interested in it. Are you interested in it? Huh? Are you interested in your new bed? No, are you interested in a belly rub? You tell me I will keep you guys updated whether or not Gracie likes the bed I mean at this moment she hopped in it She smelled it a little bit and then she hopped back on the bed So we'll see we'll see how it goes and also I want to point out I got Gracie another haunted mansion Necklace or collar and actually I didn't get it but Jerry and Mary got her this and made this for her and Jerry and Mary Thank you guys so much. They were the first people to ever give her this I remember Jerry and Mary meet we've been friends for so many years and thank you so much I can't wait to switch it out Gracie's happy to have her haunted mansion collar back So I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it and We'll see you next time. Bye You

So I've reviewed these in the past. These are the passively cooled. I believe it's pronounced protect telly firewalls and they make really nice little PF sense boxes this one's pretty slick. This is their newest model now their old models were really popular They're nice, but they don't have the AES and I support which means The potential future versions of software like PF sense won't be working on this also without the AES You lose some speed because it's that's a hardware decryption on there for things like VPN Anyways back to the product. So well, this is their latest one and right away. I'm impressed with it. It's it's heavy I don't have the exact ounces right here, but it also has six Intel eight two five eight three V ports This is a Celeron model. They have two models once an Intel series i3 the other one is a Celeron that's the one we have which is the 3865 you cavi lake 1.8 gigahertz now these ship with no memory in them So we ordered this no memory no msata That's how they ship they do have HDMI Comport which is kind of interesting for USB threes on the other side and a power button And I'll show you I'm going to show you the insides of this in just a second We're open it up, but the comports kind of interesting So if you want to use something like PF sense with the serial interface They ship you what looks just like a Old Cisco comm cable, which I haven't seen one of these in a little while But if you if you're some of the older Cisco products They they offered a comm cable that has what looks like an RJ 45 on one end But is actually just a standard serial port on the other so that's in the box The adapter comes in the box and it's a 4 3.3 amp at 12 volts so 40 watt adapter Standard power cord doesn't feel like one of those cheap ones. It's actually a little bit thicker The SATA cable, which is nice because you can plug in SATA or msata And I'll show you that in a second how that works and this little adapter and its adapters important as well because When you look inside here, you'll see how it gets the power now. It also comes with a mounting plate I like the way the mounting plate works because the plate I'll get out of the back here When you do the plate you just bolt it right to the wall You don't have to figure out a pattern and then it's got these and they have it's hard to see I'll do a close-up here, but these have a ability to go into the bottom of this and in these holes and to slip into the plate so you can easily wall mount this like to the Backboard All right, let's open it up and take a closer look So now that we're inside we can see that we have the Intel chips here for the this is part of the controller For the network interface to DDR4 slots for putting memory in and here's our SATA connector And this is where that SATA power connector comes in that they shipped with it, too So the SATA power connector actually plugs in right here So now if you want there, but you're probably asking do you just leave a drive loose in there? Nope, they solve that on the bottom They have this right here standard adapter so you can put a SATA hard drive in there I'm sorry or SATA not mSATA, but a standard laptop two and a half inch hard drive mount So if you don't want to use the mSATA mounts you can use these right here so that's a pretty slick way to do it and With two memory slots it's expandable up to 32 gigs of RAM So that's pretty clever also if you notice they glued each of the screw holes down And part of the reason why is because a CPU is on the other side of this I'm not going to take it apart. I don't want to avoid any warranties, but By doing that they have made it this really heavy heat sink and you can see from the sides and not not Like I said, this is a really well made heat sink and it dissipates the heat really really well We actually got two of these one of them We already had testing for a couple days and this is the second one so we can do some tests between each other We're gonna do some VPN testing here in a minute, but so far it's held up really well We've put it through some tests and we're gonna start covering it here in a second and do some performance testing on it But it's really well built like it's real solid. It doesn't feel like cheap at all It's all metal. So this is metal metal and even the back plate once again all still Tap it by the microphone. You can hear it's a it's a very solid not flimsy piece of metal It's not it's actually not even flexible. It doesn't bend or I mean I could but it's not it's not bending easily I should say The screws and everything really nice the way the fine-throwed screws go in there. It also has down here a buzzer so if the OS supports it making it beep on boot or anything like that that is supported on there and it's got Something so I can do the beep on there. So it's like I said so far really well made it I mean these things aren't cheap and they don't feel cheap either So sometimes you pay a lot for things and yeah, they don't feel as good But we were been happy we've deployed a lot of the other protectellies and they have held up really well over time All right, so let's get into the software testing any an important part is functionality says hey things can look cool But we really care about how functional they are working wise. So I got the box hooked up and ready I got my bootable USB in here rate a load PF sense on this and I want to give you a look at the bios on it And I don't have an HDMI input for this. We're just going to look at it this way So delete ten are set up like many most computers Pretty straightforward older style bios shows the Intel Celeron Got some options in here for changing settings all kinds of details actually quit it quit even more options than I expected you can Into Intel virtualization is actually in this too, which is kind of cool And you can turn it on or off and the default is on so if you're gonna do something other than pf Center sets in virtualization CPU management control Power turbo options. I'm leaving everything at default But that's just kind of give you a rundown though that there's a lot of different options in the bios And there's a serial port configuration for the council cable in the front There's no CPU fan speed sensor not available on here But it does show you the processor and health status and that can be picked up inside a pf sense as well It does have options for the council port redirection settings So the different terminal types vt-100 and see utf-8 I thought that was kind of cool that has some of those features in there So if you wanted to run this all and have it set up so we'll operate from a council That's actually a feature that's built in Now the one thing I am going to change in here you go under chipset Restore AC after power loss We want to have it at last state that way if it comes on now It did turn on automatically as soon as I plug the power in but I like to make sure that this is set just in case There's a it's installed somewhere and we generally want the firewalls to boot up after power loss So we'll go save an exit and go ahead and load So I have the units all set up and installed and I wanted to make a note here if you'd noticed in the review the Amazon page shows LAN 6 5 4 3 2 1 but the actual labels on this are Like this here as shown at the bottom They're actually labeled with the same way pf sense labels them which is really convenient So when you're adding them you don't have to know which one of the six you're adding they go in the same order Of course, you can always rename those but at least they're labeled there. So The beep works the little speaker in there plays a little tune when pf sense boots up Which is nice because you're really you're not leaving a monitor plugged into these So that was a pleasant surprise to hear it play its little song boot time is about I timed it Consistently be a roughly a hundred and twenty-five seconds of boot time not too bad So about two minutes to boot up from the time you hit the button or even a hot reboot No problems there that seems reasonably fast with the SSD So now no issues now It it does have the full support for here's all the hardware crypto the AES and I and all the different function support which I have enabled which you go to advanced miscellaneous and Go ahead and turn it on if I buy it out of the box It's not picked up in here So I set that on because I set up two of these units So here's the first one here's the second one and their VPN to each other So I have open VPN and I have these each going to each other's I wanted to test the VPN thorough foot speed So I have this pulled up and I have the two Two computers my computer that I'm recording on and my laptop is on the other network and I have this set up so I can Across the VPN test the speed connections So you can already see I've done a couple tests already making sure it worked and we'll run another test here Now as you can see I'm running a test. It's pretty consistent And I'm going to show you the CPU load over here. So you see the outputs there, which we got about 339 I'm seeing about the same if you've seen the last test was about 336 and you can watch open VPN We're gonna watch on this side. This is a system load So the system load is going up to about 28% running European 38% while it's running 46 So the open VPN is taxing the processor To get the transfer rates. I'm assuming it's just a dedicating two CPUs because I'm only seeing That much processor usage on it, but you know pretty consistent 331 339 It's it varies just a little bit in there. I'm not sure what causes the slight jitter, but works really well That's pretty fast. I mean most of your internet connections, especially here in the US Peek out around a hundred until you get into the commercial Side where you get fiber and even faster, but so you can transfer faster than your internet now Now what we're really gonna talk about though is the limitations of being a seller on I have suricata loaded. I'm gonna show you what the transfer speed is once you get suricata loaded now I've already tested these firewalls and no need to repeat the test here Going through the firewall full gigabit speed it transfers at the full speed of the neck Seller on his hat is fast enough with these Intel Nick cards to handle that. That's not really an issue So let's go over here. We're gonna go with services Suricata I already got it configured and set up if you're not sure how to do that I got a video on it and I have all the rules enabled so it's got a lot to do So I just went enabled all the rules when I did this And you see just as soon as you enable suricata just the processing it is gonna peak the processor for a second just starting up the service So it's definitely intensive and that's where Having a faster processor for your pfSense with a lot of memory Can come in handy and the slower the processor on these the more issues you're gonna have with trying to run a Intrusion Texan because inspecting all the packets does take its toll on the processor so over here Give it a second to finish starting up suricata and loading the rule sets It also causes when you turn on suricata it causes the VPN to stop working and Then it slowly cancels it out renews research to service And after a few minutes the VPN will log back in we can force it by restarting the VPN on the other side Yep. All right. Now it's back up and running It'll reconnect on a timer automatically and a processor usage has all gone back down suricata is basically idling right now With just a little bit of traffic. It's watching going through here. So let's do our speed test again So we'll pull the speed test over here So now it slowed down till we're getting to 65. So if you look up to the previous speed test We are here at 331 mags And now we're down to 35 so the suricata does take that let's watch what we do here. Let me actually make the font a little bigger So we see open VPN and suricata running So we run the test you'll watch both of these peek out and they're competing for CPU time Which is what's causing the slowdown. So this is where the cell around but still not bad I mean it says cell around is a little bit weaker So it's not going to handle this at full speed and of course if you have really heavy packet transfers You may have a problem On this if you're trying to run suricata VPNs and everything but that depends on speed of your internet connection Obviously, this is gigabit because these are directly connected across the network to each other But you can see that even with that. We're we're still seeing 265 mags over the VPN It's still able to transfer, you know really fast over the local network So it's only the combination of VPN and suricata that we see it slow down a little bit But still very reasonable for the price I mean you're not talking about a super expensive over a thousand dollar firewall here It's almost something reasonably priced that's able to perform this well of VPN and have six gigabit network ports So my overall impression of this is I'm really happy with it It works really well and hasn't really you know been using for a couple days Hasn't really caused any issues the low wattage uses is really nice too The fact that this is only you know eight watts and we run peak things like running suricata on there and the VPN when it Comes to a full load. It's hitting 11 watts, which is Pretty nice the power adapter the power brick that comes with it is a 40 watt adapter and stays very cool Even after running for a couple days It hasn't had any issues like it's not I always worry about if they get too warm with the longevity of them And because this is completely passively cooled with the heat sink. It's it's not really been a big deal I'm not worried about the thermal temperature on it So my overall impression is pretty good with these protect teleboxes They seem to work pretty good. I've used their boxes in the past Unfortunately, the older ones don't have the AES and I support but this one does this is the seller on model reviewed I believe they have an Intel one coming out as well I don't see it listed yet on their Amazon, but not a bad box for the price I mean 299 is not cheap, but you're getting a really solid Metal passively cooled box for 299 that you have to add just a hard drive and some RAM too Which really isn't that expensive? So for under $400 you can build a box if you got to get a deal on the RAM so right around that price anyways So I'll leave the link on Amazon where you can buy these if you like the content here like and subscribe. Appreciate it


and you clearly came up in a huge spot there in that ninth inning. Take me through that at bat against Jason Adam. Well, I mean, I was just going to look for a pitch out over the play. He threw a change up right down the middle early in the count. I kind of took it. But I was just looking for change up there. He, in the past at bats, had thrown me a lot of change up. So I was looking for something up in the zone and didn't want to miss it. Did you think you got all of that one? Yeah, I mean, I felt that was good for me. But a little too low, but you got the job done. Hey, what's been the biggest difference for you in the month of June? I think just playing a lot. Getting at bats most of the time and kind of just working on my swing. Getting back into rhythm and starting the show. Garrett Cole takes the no-hitter into that eighth inning. What stood out to you about the way he was pitching tonight? Man, it just seemed like he was attacking the strike zone. He was going with his game plan and he was sticking to it. He did a phenomenal job for us tonight. And when you're playing defense, you want your guy to get the no-hitter. So when he gives out the hit, it kind of breaks your heart. But we came out with the win, so that's all that matters. Play homes have been so good for you guys all season long. Did it feel nice as an offense to be able to pick him up a little bit this evening? Definitely.  So it was good to be able to do that.


Pick six Russell Douglas. Let's go All that the dog pick six sue had Halloween last night. It was cool I bought a lot of my lights. I used for streaming put it on the porch. I Put I had tons of big candy bars.  I had a long day of today. I had I carved the pumpkins And I had to I had to clean the leaves and mowed along one more time So everything was just gonna bite slipped. It was a little rainy yesterday. Then I grilled. I hit the grill You know her cousin came over and a couple of her friends and kids and stuff Had a long day yesterday. I passed out Romney real I haven't seen my custom jerseys ever. I think mine is just broken It's like who is number 21 who is 21 player like can we do a little bit better? Epps, I can't lie Epps being 84 speed is just not ideal for boys. I bear you Pick six Russell Douglas. Let's go All that the dog pick six sue By hot trips boys by hot trips and Douglas is six to he got on theme team. We got like 90 speed. Yeah, he's tough It's actually good. Well theme teams really aren't bad boys. They really aren't I Don't know if comp will ever go back to theme teams. Maybe I don't know to get more speed But I don't think so I think legend team team is still the best comp team team But the sheds good sheds good sheds. So we love to see that's what we love to see I Bro I have so much coverage over there like how are we?  Oh my god. I swear pick artists pick that off. I swear to God. That was pick artist He takes that swear to God. I don't lie to y'all. I don't know how people purposely play all pro Just throw to him. Who cares he not opening gonna run this.  Sprinkle you get sprinkles on your doughnuts.  Watch out for that guy. It's not stealing your girlfriend. Tell you that Buyers oh, you gotta stick on him. I would like a sprinkle doughnut. I'd like sprinkles the yellow ones sprinkles What's sprinkles? Like why do y'all get sprinkles explain to me sprinkles they have no flavor they add texture What do you want little do you want like texture? What do you want?  No, but sprinkles don't like are crumble. All right Crumbled Oreos fire now we're talking right? Crumbled Oreos fire. Let's keep talking butterfinger. Maybe some some M&M's maybe Shady on the angle route With the juice like dude Devante Smith. Can you get off the pressure pieces dog? Like this like what are we doing? Yeah, like what are we doing? What are we doing boys? Well, McCoy again the patented fellow block McCoy.  Oh, yeah 94 speed LaShawn McCoy Into the end zone Hey, hey, hey, oh McCoy got his dance. That's a W. Can't lie McCoy with his dance in the game W It's sad that the MLB allows them to still be a franchise after what they did to just To just the actual competitive nature of the game What they did to that is just terrible like God are we really this bad at safety Eric roll through the body Do the body? Oh, and he gets around the quarterbacks on the ground. He's going by Let's get it, baby. It's how pitch is the fastest car How do I know you just do a tight in the street Well, I'm telling you this dude Vic cannot throw eggs dude.  Oh my god. He I do need a Randall Cunningham or something.  I'm trying to tell you guys. Trust me. Vic is bad in this game. He's bad The Vante big boy catches You barely even got open on that play like still getting pressed They're got to get apps off my field. I really have to like bro. They don't even look. They don't even look. No, come on dogmatics, they like Really?    I got a threat. Look out dog. How how is that just getting split dog? It's just no way like there's just no way that dog the Eagles team team might be doing. I'm about to be done with this Yeah, I'm but I need a new safety. I need a safety is what I need. I need to get Marcus Epps off of my field. Oh My god, dude, literally how I have no idea how I have covered to and these dudes just open up inch Like you just snap and throw It's just like Kyle pits on a shriek. It just killed this team killed it If I don't get I got just so afraid to get instant shuttered here, dude Come on man. The whole team got body. The whole team got body That's clutch gene, baby, that's the clutch gene clutch gene right there boys I need a safety. I need a safety or something.
