Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching today so I haven't done a what did I get video for a couple of weeks I think it is and that's just because sometimes I only get maybe one thing and it's not really worth just putting in that one thing for one video so I've just let it kind of build up. So let me just show you a few things that I've received first of all was this wonderful design team package that I got from Trimcraft along with a wonderful Christmas card so this is the one here all I want for Christmas is you and that is using the winter white Christmas papers so yeah that was really nice so thank you Trimcraft but this is what they sent me so this is the amazing double-sided glitter card and the self-adhesive glitter as well so I already shared this 12 by 12 pad in the lantern so that was the week ago now something like that and already so many of you have gone and purchased it and said how great you think it is I have lots of ideas for these going into the new year it's something that you will just find yourself going to quite a lot and glitter card can be used all throughout the year you know it's not just something that you use at Christmas time so I think you're going to like some of the ideas that I've got to share so you get well this is what I've received I've gone online and there is a lot more as well so I'll share all the links below it's a non-shared 350gsm which is what I loved it is so strong it's such a lovely card stock so this is the 12 by 12 double-sided glitter card cuts on all major electronic cutting machines it you get 12 sheets three of each color so in this one here you get the gold the silver this is like a rose gold and then you've got this kind of like gun metal black you know blacker silver platinum those kind of colors so it's yeah it's lovely you can see already there's kind of my offcuts I'm not throwing any of this away so keep every bit of scrap because even these areas here they're perfect for those little smaller die cuts so you might have so that's that one and then here I have the so this is just your it's kind of like your rainbow colors you get the red yellow green blue purple and pink so let me just take this one out so I haven't actually opened this one up so you can see here so this is that purple it's just it's brilliant so there's the two there you've got that beautiful red that's going to make some gorgeous Valentine's craft projects there's that lovely yellow Easter projects straight away scream to me there so you'll be seeing this feature beautiful green love it look at that flight and underwater sea kind of theme and then there's that kind of pinky purple color there so yeah really really lovely like I said nice and thick and then you get here the so this is so that's the double sided in the a4 so you get four of each color here so this is your red your green and white so I've already started cutting in some of the white there as well so yeah another nice one there's also acid and lingonfree so it's great for any of your kind of scrapbooking and things like that that you might be doing and then this one here is the premium adhesive glitter card this is the a5 there are other sizes but you know whenever i'm doing projects I when I use like a textured card stock so i.e a glitter card I always say use a red tape you know things like that and you can obviously back your normal glitter cards onto a double sided tape but it's nice having that all done for you so here now I can just run that through my die machine peel off the backing and stick it onto a piece of acetate onto a card you know and you haven't got the faff of all like your glues and things like that so on the back here you have your release paper let's just have a little look here yeah that's nice and sticky so you get the pink again the same colors as in that one I just showed you so there's the the blue the green that lovely yellow yeah the red must be under there there we go and then that purple such lovely colors and the sparkle honestly that is coming out really well on camera it's absolutely gorgeous and it doesn't shed there's literally nothing anywhere on my desk none of my clothes so again yep win-win there trim craft I love it I think it's such a nice product so I can't wait to start using that a lot more then I received these swatch books from paper mill directs they very kindly sent me these are great and I've already been going to them for reference so within there here so it says your textured card and it tells you exactly you know what they are so here is the rich cream card hammered 255 gsm card stock then I have here an ivory card linen 255 and it's so nice so that you know when I'm thinking of what cards do I need or I could really do with something like that I can flick through here this is lovely this hemp ivory card absolutely gorgeous 255 gsm I can go to that and I can go online and put the order in and you know what you're getting because it can be very frustrating sometimes when you see a card stock and it might say you know it's a heavy weight or it says it's smooth and then you get it and it isn't or it isn't to what you thought it would be so having something like this is really handy this one here like hopsack I mean you know I've never even heard of that one before this is a rich cream card 255 and you've got a linen effect you've got just all sorts I mean so that one just as an example is the textured so they've also sent me sparkle and pearl eyes I mean look this is a lovely big pad here look at that one it's hard for you to see but it's almost can you see it's like it's marble you know when you get the the oh gosh what is it I'm trying to what's that like the quartz and stuff in the marble tops that's what that looks like absolutely gorgeous and you've got it there mercury sparkle this is 300 it's lovely nice and thick that one there rose a sparkle so there's all those then you've got your pearlized ones you can see there that lovely excuse me that shine 300 gsm and that goes all the way through they're all pearlized and the colors the variety of colors is amazing that's one thing that stood out to me with paper mill direct I've used them before even joining the design team and they're just yeah they've got every color imaginable I mean there's more even under there as well I just can't get them all out but it's beautiful so that was that one then you've got your essentials and your get that one through there okay essentials and colors so there'll be things like your white your good white card stocks in here your white smooth so there we go there's an ivory smooth there's a white card so that's that's more of a you know that's that's a sort of rougher one but there's your smooth and it is so that's perfect for your stamping then you've got white cards super smooth wow that's even nicer yeah I love that one that's going to be lovely because it's 300 gsm that'd be really nice for your alcohol markers you've got your black there intense and they're so nicely presented you know the just the the printing on here and just the way they've done it all it's really really nice and you can get these on their websites again I will link everything below but there's again tons there I doubt there would be anything here that you think you think of and they haven't got it you know because even if it's not here you can get in contact with them and I'm sure they'll be able to put you in the right direction and then here this is double-sided pearlized so look at this misty rose that's a beautiful color these are all double-sided Christmas red see that'd be a great one for next year's projects um what else we got here just yeah all your colors is that I just have a little look ultra white card then you've got natural white ivory ice white cereal pearl you've got all sorts I love all the different names it's um yeah really really nice I've got those for there so it just makes it much easier when I put in orders now but I know you know exactly what I'm getting so thank you very much paper then I've got a few magazines so mostly we probably already know that I am on the design team for papercraft essentials so every month I do their shape-up feature and it will just show you a different funfold card technique so I done the pop-up one some of you would be familiar with this one because it was a very old tutorial I've done this about two years ago and it's very popular but it's always nice you never know what's going to be on the front cover so when it happens it's yes a nice prize so this is the card that I done here everything um you know that you need and how to make it I always do in advance and then I do a beginner version so there's my tutorial here so this is your beginner version so it's just a simple pop-out feature and then you've got that more detailed intricate one with the belly band on the front really fun I do I love working with papercraft essentials and then we always get a complimentary copy and on this one here you get the celebrations card kits this is a shaker one lovely um sentiments and stuff a lot of these I tend to put into some of them I use but I also put into my kind of competition box so um like for giveaways and things like that so this one will probably be added to that because I've got a few nice little giveaways in the new year so keep an eye out for those and then this one here this is a very special magazine so I did I think I done an announcement on Facebook and then I haven't got round to putting up the video on YouTube yet it's probably now going to go up in the new year I entered the card making 2019 competition oh gosh back in it must have been September no because I found out in September that I'd won so it must have been August I basically I entered three days before the closing date and it was basically because of my friends at Trimcraft and in particularly Angela who had entered a few years prior and they just encouraged me to do it so I thought I'm going to go for it and then I heard back that I'd won I had to keep it a secret for two and a half months and then I had to wait for this issue to come out so issue 203 the December issue of card making and papercraft inside has me as the winner and I am just still very shocked it's still it's just like it caught me off guard the email came through and I burst into tears it just yeah it's just lovely so this is Haley she sent me the the happy news and let me just find the pieces so I'm gonna I'm gonna frame this one this this spread will go into my we'll go into like a shadow box or something with it all opened up so where is it so here it is here so this is the double spread so there's all the the team at the head office looking at all of the entries and yeah you're probably familiar with these because I shared all of these as tutorials on my channel but this is the double display card this was my pop-up display card I'm maybe getting the names wrong this is my tunnel card that I done this this little guy here you know I'm very fond of this stamp set and he is I think because I live in Plymouth by the sea we have a lighthouse that looks just like that and he's just a bit of a lucky charm is the one stamp he's probably my favorite all-time stamp set and he's now become a bit of a lucky charm for me because yeah there's the winning card this beautiful one here was using the the dovecraft collection garden oh gosh it's gone gone from my mind anyway beautiful card that one's been really popular so many of you have done your versions of that and then this one I love coloring and do an underwater theme so I tried to do something that showed funful cards my coloring and my own designs you know so I love to create things that are different so this was something that I you know I designed myself and along with this one here and this one was an inspiration from Jennifer McGuire so they just yeah they've all they were all fun for me to make and they were all something that I you know put a lot of thought into when I done them and I just thought they'd be good ones to enter for the competition and they did they won so yeah again thank you so much and one of the prizes well there's a few prizes actually I got a thousand pounds worth of craft supplies one was a brother scanner cup which I've been using and I absolutely love it and in the video that I need to still edit to go up has all of that in there but also you get to join the design team and I've already done my first feature which will feature in the January issue I think it was anyway I'll share it nearer the time or once I get it um so that was really nice to do and it's just again I'm very fortunate and I you know I don't take any of this for granted it could all end tomorrow so it's just yeah it's really lovely that this has happened it helps me incredibly with my channel and my blog and just everything because yeah I you'll see more of my cards around now so it's uh yeah it's just really nice as you can probably tell on my voice I'm just still very um taken back by it all and very humble so that was the again the issue that they sent me but with it was this gorgeous freebie I absolutely love it so you get the stamp set and this die set now I haven't got around to doing anything Christmas related with it I've just been you know snowed under with obviously tutorials on my channel personal tutorial you know things that I need to do for my own like family and friends and commissions they don't stop so this one here will work through the new year as well it's perfect for new home cards and you've got here although you've got the trees you don't have to add you know add snow to them or anything like that this could become a spring card and like I said a lovely new home so you've got the snowman there but you've also got the cat you've got the bird box you've got a lovely little frame there which will cut out these sentiments and then you've got the house there but I just really love it I do I I'm I find myself always drawn to kind of home stamps you know houses I like making houses it's it's a bit of a thing for me I think so you can never have too many of this kind of stamp and die set I don't think so and I love like the little brick wall there that's the die I don't a little stamp I don't have so that'll be something that I can use and the path again that's really nice so I definitely will be using this one I have a box of everything that I haven't used yet so I know that I will always use everything in my craft room at some point so that will be added to it it was designed by Sally mountain so yeah so thank you massively to card making a papercraft magazine I know I received an overwhelming response of congratulations from so many of you and again I'm extremely thankful for all of that look out for the video in the new year just if you want to have a nose at what I won I think I cry in that video because I've done that about a day after I'd received all the product so but yeah I promise I will share it so those are a couple of magazines and I always well I've you know I recommend many of our crafting magazines but these are you know they're just they are they're great especially if you're just starting off in papercraft and you know you're kind of not sure what it is that you like to make cards but you don't really know what kind because it's finding that thing you love and then I think growing you know that so if it is coloring for example you know there's inspiration in all of these magazines that cross funfold cards just colored cards die cut cards different shaped cards there's just so many ideas so I always recommend the any kind of crafting magazines and I'll share all of these ones below for you I thought I would share the Christmas card that I received from my mum and dad this year now I know that you know the regular viewers to my channel you will hear me often talk about my passion for vintage cards I have been interested in card making and the just the whole process of giving cards for decades it's something I love to do and I think that stemmed from when we were children and my mum and dad we would we saved a lot of our cards we have scrapbooks in our loft full of cards that we were given and then it's lovely to look back on at that point in your life and who you were friends with and then also how the cards have evolved you know so I absolutely love it so every year my mum always sends me a vintage card sometimes she makes the card but in it she will have a vintage card that she's found as well or she may give me the card but she'll write on a separate piece of paper so the card's not been spoiled and this year she's excelled herself and my dad as well but what she's done is this is the card that she gave me it's a lovely message inside that I'm not going to read out because that's that's just for me but in what she's done you'll probably recognize this die to anybody that's got the papercraft society kit the first one this was one of the dies and then what she's done is she's cut another piece of cardstock on top and she's got this great little kind of punch here that allows you to be able to put pictures in and in this case a postcard but this one here says hearty Christmas greetings I'm just going to take it out because you can because there's a lovely message on the back of it I'm just going to take that carefully out of there and this one here it says it was printed in 1911 down in the corner there and that was by the burn brothers in New York it's got this beautiful embossed holly and then all the frame around here and that foiling that runs throughout the frame that's silver and then on the back here it's gorgeous that lovely writing it's processed here to dear emily just a postcard that's what the pc is to wish you a merry christmas and a very happy new year we'll write you a letter after christmas with heaps of love and kisses from reany and um i just i love little things like that i love to think like you know who are those people who's their family now um i just yeah i think it's just so nice to kind of you know look after these things so i have a really old letter rack and it's full of old postcards and i love to sit and flick through them sometimes you know that i get inspiration from them as well sometimes the projects that i share might be the colors that i've used um you know so i'm just going to pop that back in there carefully let's do both at the same time and then the other was popped out i'll do that again later but also with it they gave me these there was a lady um it was from a like a christmas market and look at these so they're all these mini little cards and this one here says good fortune spin her wheel right merrily for you and again it is embossed it's kind of fading but there is a gold embossed um stamp on that and it's all been this is all embossed as well it's gorgeous and then inside you have this little piece and then this is all can you just kind of pick out the gold there it says here time holds in store the choicest gifts may they be yours in fullest measure that every joy and happiness be yours this christmas tide is the silence is the sincere wish of gertie larkham 35 tankerville road stretham common sw christmas and 1911 i just think that's amazing so these are like little printed almost like a telegram really and um i just think that is amazing then then this one here again it's all embossed and this is all embossed it says greetings and it says they're from gladis and fred to m and tom and then inside there as well to wish you a very good day and a jolly old time of it after i think it's lovely and on the back here it says made it's made in london designed and it's got somewhere in england printed in again i need to kind of really look into that i need a magnifying glass then there's this one here may i come in fondest greetings it's got a little dog there and all the snow and the the rain's kind of pounded down the two cats are nice and dry underneath i think that's really sweet and this one here says may you have a joyous time at christmas and lots of fun in the coming year from and that one's never been used so again you know so much age to that and to have one that's it's like it's like new old stock you know again absolutely love it and then this one here and this has got made in england new york and toronto hills distinctive and this is with all good wishes for christmas and the coming year and then you pull this piece out here and again this one's not been used and it says two and then it just says with all good wishes from a for a joyous yuletide and then it's got from again absolutely love it i'm just going to carefully pop that one back in there but how special are those i mean some of you might not have any interest in this whatsoever but for me it's just i just think it's wonderful that these things have still been you know so well looked after and will continue to be now and i've got some lovely easter ones i have just so many wonderful very old cards and i love it it's like my little thing that i like to collect so yeah i hope you've enjoyed me sharing my christmas card there from my mum and dad and maybe one day i'll do a separate video on the ones that i've got and you can kind of look through them and let me know because i know many of you when i do share things like this lots of you say that you've still got your family's old cards and things like that so yeah i always like to read those but yeah just sort of share those and then i will got to share with you this absolutely gorgeous bear so the lovely rachel sent me this one she's made this and it is gorgeous and the wonderful thing is when i opened it up i thought oh my gosh i can smell chocolate and it's basically got a chocolate fudge scent on her and it's i can still smell it it's not overpowering like you can't you know you don't walk in the room and you get hit by it it's there i can smell it now because i'm close to it but she's all jointed she's got these gorgeous little hearts here i still can't believe that you have made this this is a little message that rachel sent me and i just thought i'm going to roll it up and keep it in the scarf there because i just think that looks really nice so she sits on my shelf she's got such an adorable little face and she's so soft i just loved it it wasn't not what i was expecting at all and i just this is one of the things that i really like is that we all do different crafts we all make different things and it's so nice to appreciate and enjoy something different than papercraft so thank you so so much for this i showed my mum and she was like that is amazing then i said to her yeah it's been made and um we just can't believe it and you know rachel as we do i think all the time you know she said oh there are mistakes and she's not perfect i think you've done an amazing job certainly better than i could do it's not something that i've i've ever attempted so i yeah i adore it so thank you so much and um yeah have a lovely christmas rachel then i want to share the latest paper discovery release so um i have already featured tutorials of this product and wow the pocket watch you've gone absolutely crazy for so many of you have purchased it and good on you because i think it's a brilliant die set it's so unusual it's something like no other that i have and i already have a few more projects to do with that so i'm going to talk you through everything here so i got the this is the a what says a five but it's six by six time on your hands embossing folder so i'm not sure the a five maybe that's just meant to be for something else but it says embossing folder maybe there is an a five one and this one's just been put on the wrong one by mistake but it's definitely six by six i'm just gonna double check now for maybe a piece of mind yeah so this one here gorgeous and i use the center of that for the pocket watch and it says here all on the back it tells you other collection you know other um products within the collection that it coordinates with so this one here coordinates with the time on your hands die and stamp set which is what i used and that one is let me just show you it so you can keep it all together for some of you should be receiving yours by now i would have thought so this is the the one that it coordinates with so you get the stamp and then this huge die set and this is what i use to make the pocket watch but also you can make this gorgeous clock here and i've got a tutorial i'm just finishing it up it will probably come out just after christmas because i'm just kind of really tying up all the christmas projects now they're all done i've got a couple to edit but everything's done now and i'm actually tidying away all my christmas supplies so yeah you've got christmas projects up until christmas and then it will be things like this so it's beautiful you get the cogs and everything it's just so fun so have a look at the tutorials there there's two that i've done so far just if you want to see them you know if you haven't seen any of those yet have a look because um yeah loads of you will be like this is amazing and yeah it's just fun there's lots and lots of ways to use it so that was that and then i had got this one as well which i've done two cards for but i haven't done tutorials so i will do them again i've got a few more ideas for this one so this is the next one from this one that Olga done so this is the elegant room builder die set which was the christmas one which i've done a card well now she's done this one which and everything mixes together so i took elements of this like the dog and cat for example and put it in here and you you don't have a fire in this one but you've got the fire there so you can add it with that sofa in that chair you've got the stockings that you can have hanging along the fire you know there's so many different ways to do it because with this one it was a stamp i think you got first of all um but it's lovely it's really really nice and then that one coordinates with the stamp set which is this one here which i've used with also this one here so that creates your kind of wallpaper there's your parquet flooring your skirting your kind of picture rails so that's that scene there that you can use but you can also just have that section there if you just want a nice decorative background so that was those ones again so fun to to use auger's attention to detail is brilliant and then so that one was oh yeah and that was the stamp set that went with this one that i got for christmas and have it you know check out the christmas ones because you'll start to see a lot of sales going on now and crafts such a brilliant they always do you know like random 20 percent days you get 20 off your first purchase anyway they deliver worldwide sometimes have free shipping days so just you know check them out subscribe to their emails then you get you you know you'll you'll never miss out and then this was an older one which i made a lovely christmas card with but again it's not just christmas so although she has like the coordinating pieces that will make it christmasy this again will make a lovely you know new home kind of card um they're just beautiful really really lovely and you see how big they are there and things like this you can use in lots of other things as well and then this one here which many of you have gone and got it's lovely and this is so it coordinates with this one here which i don't have and that's the mini houses to make like a snow globe but i made a snow globe using the snowflake and i filled it up with artificial snow and but it also makes a lovely decoration but so many other ideas i thought you could make it you could have a money box so you can just take the top off take the top off put a little hole in the top like a slit so you can put money in and they make great tree decorations because you don't have to add the base you can have them as really fancy cards party invites it's just really good so and again these circles and everything here coordinates with the stamp set from the first one i showed you the time on your hands so you can make it as a little you know clock or you can have it as just you know a shaker just a nice you know ornament so so it literally everything really kind of works together within this so don't you know sometimes you buy like a die set and you kind of use it a few times and you've you kind of done what you want to with it and then they just get kind of forgotten i've got dies like that and they're so far back now that i don't go to them anymore but when you've got stuff that constantly coordinates with other things it makes you go back to those older ones and bring them out and kind of you know just revamp them again and i think that's lovely so i like that i think you're getting a lot more for your money than you know just buying that and then it never worked with anything else again so that's those and then lastly i've got these panels which so these are your timeless panels die and these will work with everything really but i mean you've got the cogs there so if you did want to do just a nice card you could do the pocket watch with all the cogs in the background you could do that you know have cogs and then have the sentiments that just say things like you know time to relax what else have you got here time for yourself enjoy the good times the word time can be used in such a good way and yeah my mind just kind of goes into a bit of an overdrive really and this will definitely be coming out for Father's Day because there's so many great ideas that i've got for it so yeah if you love that kind of thing and you like dies you like detail then you will love paper discovery because again yeah it's got all of that on there so i love it so thank you craft stash for sending me that and then the lovely guys at Arteza have sent me these easy blend markers so i've already got the collection i've got the full set but i wanted to to try the gray tones and the portrait tones which is that your skin tones because that's the one thing that they don't have that in the main pack i mean they have those similar colors but i wanted to just have them all really so they very kindly sent them to me because i do i really rate these i think they're lovely for my level of colouring and they're just a lovely marker and i know lots of you have got them and you agree so yeah i do collaborate with Arteza i feature their products a lot i've got their mat here which i love and it's in all my videos i use their cutting knives which i really enjoy and i can't wait to get stuck into more colouring in the new year because it's not i haven't done as much of it through Christmas because i've had other commitments but these are the 36 ever blend markers and like i said you get the gray tones and then this one here is the portrait tones and they give you all the colours there but also i'll link below if again Arteza's new thing for you check out their website the customer service is exceptional their delivery is really really quick and their prices are really really good and again they do lots of good discounts they do lots of offers and they've got some great deals on there at the moment so these ones here you can get but you can get replaceable tips for them and you can buy them individually as well but they're blendable alcohol based inks replaceable nibs and non-toxic so again i'll share all that and you will see this in a lot more detail they also sent me a wonderful Christmas box which i'm going to do a separate video on i'll probably share these again in that video as well and i'll unbox them and things like that just so you can see them a little bit clearer but if you want to see how these ever blend markers work check out this video here where i actually go into more detail with them and do some really nice coloring and yeah and then you can yeah go from there really but there's everything that i've shared today i can't wait to start the new year it's nice to now go in the new year with new products to use i've got a list of ideas i've got a list of requests so i will try and get to them you know as and when and yeah thank you for watching so all the links will be shared below as always and i'll be back again tomorrow with another tutorial see you then bye


Fresh off the Super Bowl ring, the Kansas City Chiefs are going to try to run it back this year. Let's take a look at the schedule and see what they're talking about. Some of y'all are not about to feel me on this, but I'm telling you, I got the juice. Casey is losing that first game of the year against the Detroit Lions at home. Look, just, I seen it. Next three games, Kansas City will go 2-1 with that 1-0, coming against the New York Jets in New Jersey.   They play the Raiders twice. They play the Pets, they play the Bills, and they play the Packers, and I think they win all five of those games. I think they dropped that game against Cincinnati at home, and I think they dropped the next game in L.A. I'm not sure they'll have much to play for at that point. They already have the division sold up, ready for the playoffs. So after all that, we're looking at 12-5 this year for Kansas City. That's kind of what they do. That's what we expect at this point. So, yeah.


Minnesota is considered one of the hot spots for curling in with the United States taking gold in last year's Olympics, the popularity of the sport has never been higher. And this week's Northwood's adventure, our own Anthony Scott right here, tries out curling for the first time. With the popularity of the sport, like everybody's always curious about curling, but they take a little bit to get them out on the ice. And to get people on the ice, the Branded Curling Club recently hosted their community curling night where anyone could try and become the next Olympic curler. We have on our open curling nights like this, we have people come from all over the community, they're curious about it. Olympic years, we just can't keep the building open enough because people see it on TV and they say, oh wow, you know, what is that? Since the USA won the gold medal at last year's Olympics, the curling center is hoping to add to its already 200 members.  So this year we're trying to capture that gold medal and go up, go up another year. At community curling night you were paired with a coach who taught you everything you need to know about the sport and then you had a chance to get on the ice. Some people are just natural and others it takes a little while to develop the skills and the comfort level to be able to play. Curling is a sport that takes some practice but once you get the hang of it anyone can enjoy it. The one thing is you're gonna fall and but get back up, let's try it again. It was a good experience, I've never done it before, honestly didn't even know this was here so it was cool to be able to check it out. I love the fact that my children, my grandchildren and me and my husband can all curl. It's a generational sport, you do not have to be really super active to do it. I get good exercise and curling is a very social sport.  The curling club has open curling nights throughout the week along with leagues for all ages and skill levels.

Hey, coach. Welcome back to our YouTube channel. In today's video, I'm going to be talking about five tips. This is for you if you are a new coach or personal trainer. You have a business. These five things will really help you out. So number one, we need you to be very, very organized, right? I see this way too often and I see this at the park where I train my clients at. I'll show up I am ready to do my session and I can look over and I see other coaches and trainers there. They show up maybe five minutes before their session. Try to scramble and put everything together. They're extremely disorganized. I have gotten a ton of clients who've joined my program because a lot of those clients who go and train with those guys, they show up before the trainers even there. That shows that the trainer is not serious, that they're not committed. So if you are not organized, I'm telling you, you need to fix it. You got to fix that. You need to be very organized with how you approach your clients, how you approach your sessions, how you approach everything, not just with the training, but how you approach everything within your business. Number two, we need you to be very good at understanding the value of time. Again, I know when I first started my business, I was terrible at this. I used to do 90 minute sessions for $15, $15 90 minute sessions. That's an hour and a half session. And I remember I used to drive so far to do those sessions. I would drive about 30 to 45 minutes just to get there, 30 to 45 minutes back home. And I would do my session and the money that I'd be making would barely even cover the gas that I was spending going there and back. Who's fault is that? Well, that's my fault. In one sense, that was good for me to learn, oh, well, I need to charge more. I can't just charge $15 and I can go to run a business here. So once I started to realize how to value my time and how to turn what I'm doing into a program, then I could start to charge more. That is a huge problem that I see so many coaches and trainers, that's where they mess up on. They're not valuing their time. The next one is we need to understand what is your program. And I know this sounds simple, but if I ask 10 coaches today, tell me about your program. What is it? Many of them would be hopping around from, well, I do this, I do this, I do this, I do this, and they are a generalist. They're not a specialist. So we need you to specialize in solving a very specific problem for your clients. When you do that, you become well-known as the expert. When you do too many different things, you are known as the jack of all trades. That's not good, right? You're going to attract too many different types of clients. We need you to be simple with how you approach your business, and we need you to be the expert.  You focus in on solving this particular problem. The next one here, this is number four. We got to understand sales. You have to be good at sales. You have to be good at communicating. Again, this is a huge problem. I know so many coaches and trainers are struggling with right now. They don't know how to talk to a prospect over the phone. They don't know how to lead the conversation. They don't know how to close a client into the program. This way, if you have your sales on point, I would expect your business to be doing really well. That's something you can learn. That's something I teach coaches in our consulting program. I have been developing my sales skills over the last 12 years, and I'm still learning a ton about sales. When you get good at sales, you are way more confident with how you run your business. When you are terrible with sales, this business is not going to be a friendly business to you because you have to close clients to add new clients. Flat out. Got to be good at closing. If you're not good at it, got to learn. Need someone's help. Someone can help you with that. Everyone can learn how to get better at sales. That's ultimately how I've learned. It's not just by me going through trial and error. I have invested into mentors so I can learn this sort of stuff. That's been very beneficial to me. The next one, which I would say this goes hand in hand with sales. This is number five, is marketing. Most coaches and trainers, I would just say it, flat out, are terrible at marketing. They don't market enough. They're shy with what they do. Some trainers try to make everything they do about them. Here's a good tip. If you're wanting to get really good with marketing, we start to highlight your clients. Your clients become the focal point. When you start highlighting how good they are and the results that they are accomplishing, now we can take the prospects who are watching and be like, wow, I want that result too. It makes it a lot easier to sell what you do when you just highlight and you hammer daily. You hammer on, here's the results for my clients. You do this over and over and over and over again. Your marketing should be centered around the results that you have with your clients. When you do that, it's easier to market because now you're not just talking about yourself. You're not walking around with yourself on all day taking selfie videos of you just talking. You are highlighting your clients. I'll tell you, that will help you stand out amongst the other competitors you have in your city because all you're doing is you're talking about your clients. You're showing their results. That's very attractive towards those who are on the fence when they're thinking about choosing the right program. They want to go to someone who's the expert that is proven to produce results over and over and over and over again. If you watch this video from start to to now, I know you're serious. I know you're someone who already has a business. You already are working with clients and you want to get to that next level. If that's the case and I know you are serious, you're committed, you're coachable and you want to help more clients, our consulting program would be a great fit for you. Here's the next step. Very simple. All you have to do is text me at this number here. It's<PHONE_NUMBER>. Just tell me your name, tell me what city, state, or country you live in. From there, I'll schedule a quick call with you to see if you're a good fit. It's very simple. That's it for today's video. I'll see you soon.

What I thought That's how you use the clock and win a game, baby The streak continues


I know that this is kind of old news now, and a lot of you have moved on, but I still really want to talk about Donald Trump's interview with Chris Wallace and Fox News. This was bananas. This was a spectacle. I don't know how to even describe this interview. We can really pick it apart and talk about this for hours, quite literally. But if I had to use one word to describe this, that word would be moist. It would definitely be moist because throughout this interview, Donald Trump was very moist, and I'm not sure why he chose to have this outside. Apparently this was up to him. He claims that he wanted to have Chris Wallace sweat during this interview, but really it was him who was sweating the entire time.  You can tell he was extra hot because he smothered his face with Juergens natural glow self-tanner. Sweat was rolling down his cheeks. His upper lip was especially wet, which kind of grossed me out and made me feel queasy.  But I had to point this out.  But there is a portion that is getting a little bit of attention, and I think it really does. It warrants further conversation. And I don't know that I've ever addressed this on the program, but what would we do in the event? Donald Trump lost his reelection campaign, and he just chose to not step down. Now, we already know that he's kind of laying the groundwork to delegitimize this election. And the justification as to why this election might be rigged according to him is because of mail-in voting. I mean, just the other day he tweeted, mail-in voting unless changed by the courts will lead to the most corrupt election in our nation's history. Hashtag rigged election. So, I mean, he already has the excuse in place, so it's not necessarily out of the question to assume that if it doesn't go his way, maybe he just says, this was rigged. I don't accept the results. And he was asked about this directly, and he kind of did confirm what we all thought would happen if he lost. He's not saying he won't reject the results, but he's not saying he will either. He has to see the results first. Are you a good loser?  I don't like to lose. I don't lose too often. I don't like to lose. But are you gracious? You don't know until you see it depends. I think mail-in voting is going to rig the election. I really do. Are you suggesting that you might not accept the results of the election? I have to see. Look, Hillary Clinton asked me the same thing. No, I asked you the same thing in the debate. There is a tradition in this country, in fact one of the prizes of this country, is the peaceful transition of power and that no matter how hard-fought a campaign is, that at the end of the campaign that the loser concedes to the winner, not saying that you're necessarily going to be the loser or the winner, but that the loser concedes to the winner and that the country comes together in part for the good of the country. Are you saying you're not prepared now to concede to that principle? What I'm saying is that I will tell you at the time I'll keep you in suspense. Well, Chris, and you know what? She's the one that never accepted her.   You will accept the election? I have to see. Look, I have to see. No, I'm not going to just say yes. I'm not going to say no. And I didn't last time either. Whether it's in 2021 or 2025, how will you regard your years as president of the United States? I think I was very unfairly treated.  He has to make it about himself. Oh, people were mean to me.  And I don't know how he's not embarrassed, how his family is not embarrassed with his behavior. Like this is weird. But nonetheless, he basically he won't say he will deny the results, but he won't say that he won't either. Like he's kind of leaving that door open. I think it will hinge on his mood, how he's feeling after the results come in. I think that part of him would be relieved if he lost because I genuinely don't think he wants to be president. He just wants the prestige and the power that comes with it. But I mean, he wants, he wants to not do this, right? I mean, he's rich. So why would you want to do something? Why would you want to work and do this? Even if you're not really doing a good job or working that hard and you're still mostly golfing? Like why would you want all the drama associated with this? So I think part of him would be relieved. But at the same time, he wants to be able to leave knowing he had two terms. Because that's what I think under him, you would qualify as a successful presidency and he wants to win at everything. So anyways, he may not necessarily accept the results of the selection. This is something that we're all kind of grappling with. And this begs the question, what would happen in the event? You know, he says the election results are illegitimate. They're rigged and he doesn't accept it. And when it comes time to us, we're in Joe Biden, Trump doesn't leave. What if he just stays in the Oval Office and refuses to leave? Well, there are causes for concern with regard to Trump, you know, trying to delegitimize the election. But this isn't necessarily the biggest concern. Because I think that Fred Kaplan of Slade really broke this down phenomenally and catastrophized a bit about what would happen in the event Trump did behave this way. And he explains that it wouldn't go the way that, you know, a lot of us picture it. So it's the morning of January 20th, 2021. Trump doesn't meet President-elect Joe Biden and his wife in the White House driveway. Nor does he attend the inauguration on Capitol Hill. Instead, he proclaims as he has many times by this point that the election was a fraud. He has set the stage for this with his false claims about mail-in ballots. And at noon, instead of a ceding to the transfer of power, Trump proclaims that the swearing-in was fake news and that he remains the president. Here's what would happen next. On the dot of noon, the nuclear codes which currently allow Trump to order and authenticate a nuclear attack expire. The officer who has been following him around everywhere with the football, which contrary to popular belief is not a button or a palm print, but rather a book filled with various launch codes, leaves. If Trump and whatever lackeys stay with him prevent the officer from leaving, another officer holding a backup football would join Biden at the inauguration ceremony. By the same token, the entire U.S. military establishment will pivot away from ex-President Trump and salute President Biden. The principle of civilian control is hammered into American officers from the time their cadets and the 20th amendment of the Constitution states the terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, no ifs, ands, or buts. If Trump orders the military to do anything, they will refuse his order. If any officers obey his order, say, to circle the White House to keep him in power, they would certainly be tried and convicted on charges of mutiny and sedition, and they would know this before taking the leap. Meanwhile, the Secret Service will abandon Trump as they do every president whose term is up, except for a small detail assigned to protect him and his family for the rest of their lives. Overseas, foreign leaders will cut off relations with the U.S. ambassadors in their capitals and await instructions from Biden or his acting Secretary of State. Meanwhile, Biden's acting Attorney General will have drawn up arrest warrants for Donald J. Trump and anyone who remains at his side on charges at minimum of criminal trespassing. If Trump calls on the armed forces or militias or the nation's sheriffs to come defend him, he might also be charged with incitement or insurrection. If any of Trump's aides or cabinet officers continues to take his orders, they too could face criminal charges and, in any case, would have a hard time finding respectable employment after the pretend monarch is taken away in handcuffs. If armed militia men and sheriffs rally to the White House and they refuse to let U.S. marshals through the gates, a small contingent of Secret Service or the National Guard could be called up to enforce the law. If that doesn't work, a few M1 tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue should make the would-be rebels flee. It would be terrible if the standoff came to this, but Commander-in-Chief Biden would have this option available if necessary. So this situation, this scenario where Donald Trump loses and refuses to concede and on the day where Joe Biden is being sworn in, Trump just refuses to leave, it's highly unlikely because in order for him to pull off a coup like that, a lot of steps would have to be taken. He would have to have other world leaders acknowledge him as the rifle president. If he declared himself the forever president of the United States, you'd have to have military generals in Secret Service all flip on Joe Biden.  So this is highly unlikely. Does that mean that I think it's out of the realm of possibility that Trump wouldn't try something like this?  Like in spite of this not leading to Trump actually being forever president it's like, hey guys, I'm going to stay president. I don't accept Joe Biden as the president. Oh, well, there's nothing we can do. No, there actually is something that we can do in that incident. So that's highly unlikely. But what I'm more worried about isn't necessarily like Joe Biden not being able to be president because Donald Trump just declares himself permanent president. What I'm more worried about is what would happen if Trump invalidates the election, even if he does step down eventually, or if he sets himself up, if he thinks the numbers aren't going to go in his favor to invalidate the election beforehand. Because in either of those instances, even if he doesn't directly incite violence, he has a lot of unhinged supporters who are psychopaths. And they would take up arms. They would potentially if, you know, Trump sent out a signal that this election isn't going to go his way because it's rigged, they could potentially show up with guns and intimidate people. Trump could theoretically say, I have it, you know, according to my intelligence officials, they've told me that there will be a large portion of undocumented people voting. What would that mean? That means that a lot of his supporters may show up to polling stations if they're still in-person voting to intimidate people of color, which is a reliable population for the Democratic Party who always votes Democrat most of the time. That could happen. If he chooses to say, I see the results, it shows Joe Biden won and I don't accept these results, that in and of itself could still cause a type of shitstorm in this country where it could lead to armed thugs right-wing or storming the Capitol buildings of certain states and refusing to accept the results, something like that. There could still be chaos. Even if that worst case scenario doesn't, in fact, come to fruition where he just declares himself the permanent president. Like, I think that's highly unlikely, although still within the realm of possibility of something that he could attempt. But I mean, he could still cause a lot of problems and I'm honestly more worried about what he would try to do before the election more so than what he would want to do after the election because voter intimidation by his supporters, if he feels like he's gonna lose, is something he could tacitly encourage while not explicitly endorsing it. Like, he can kind of give himself enough legal leeway while not explicitly saying, hey, go harass black people and brown people at the polls, he could say something that triggers that type of response. And that to me is honestly what I am more worried about than anything. So I think that this conversation is interesting because as Americans, we've always lived with democracy. That's all that we know unless we grew up in a different authoritarian regime. Now, we've seen, you know, the devolution of democracy. We're becoming more and more authoritarian. We're losing civil rights and civil liberties, mostly civil liberties, but at the same time, we still have democratic institutions that are stronger than the institutions in these authoritarian regimes. Like, if you don't consolidate democracy in the way that we did, then I'd say, you know, sure, we would be susceptible to a military coup with Donald Trump leading it. But that's really unlikely in this instance but that doesn't necessarily mean that we're protected from voter intimidation or, you know, some sort of insurrection that emerges organically even if Donald Trump doesn't necessarily encourage it. So I think that this conversation, it is fascinating, but it all assumes that Donald Trump will in fact lose and I'm not necessarily willing to pound the gavel yet and say that Donald Trump is definitely going to lose because there's still a lot of time between now and November Donald Trump could change up the strategy and that could be successful. Joe Biden could absolutely face-plant during the debates that is entirely possible and if 2020 has taught us anything it's that we are in the darkest timeline. So, you know, it's entirely possible that Donald Trump could still win. But I mean if the numbers hold, if Joe Biden is still pulling outside the margin of error if he has this big of a lead over Donald Trump, not just nationally but in swing states, you know, Donald Trump will most likely lose. So it is interesting to kind of think about this because as Americans we haven't really had to entertain this idea. What would happen if we had a president who went rogue? You know, Republicans were fear mongering about Obama wanting to do just this very thing when Obama made a comment about how if he were to run for a third term he would win but you know, I can't do that because I believe in democracy. You know, they lost it of course because they're hypocrites. But you know, this is something that you have to worry about with Donald Trump.  But that is, that's something that is unlikely but that doesn't mean that he's not going to cause chaos if he does lose and reject the results of the election. So, you know, we're going to have to wait and see. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst and not just assume that Trump will lose at all. It's entirely possible that he could still win. A lot can change between now and November so just you know, remember that and don't underestimate your opponents because voter suppression is a real problem and you know, Donald Trump is trying to fight mail-in ballots and if people are forced to vote during a pandemic assuming this is still a thing in November you know, that could suppress the turnout, suppress the vote so we don't know what's going to happen. You know, we have an indication based on polling results what will happen but you know, we'll just have to wait and see. Mike Fettuccine needs your support on Patreon.

I care for a brother Jacob and he's got medication but he gets it changed so regularly that I don't know what's going on and it'd be nice to know what's happening and why it's getting changed so I could understand more about what's happening. When you're giving so much medication for the person you're looking after and you're not exactly sure what to do with it at first until you're shown by other people or how many to give, what days to give, what times. Just easier prescription information that's given on the prescription saying when to do it. It should be child friendly because I don't understand half the ways it's on my brother's tablets and things like that so I'd kind of want it to be clearer and there should be someone like the doctors that should be able to explain it to you better so you can kind of understand without just reading something and being like what does that mean you know. Also if we need to go pick up prescriptions at the pharmacies they won't let us do that if we're under 16. Instead of him having to drive up down there I could down and just walk because we've got local doctors in the village it'd be much easier if I could walk just get a prescription. Part of my mum first got diagnosed with a condition. I wasn't allowed in to appointments or had to stay outside or I'd come up and see my mum when she was in hospital. It was only for about 10 minutes or something and I had to be shooed out so I couldn't see them you know checking out my mum. That bugged me because even to this day I still don't fully know what's wrong with my mum because the doctors and my mum will consider it a bit funny with me that I might not be able to take it. I don't think like doctors and nurses and people like that. I don't really ever see them like because I'm always in school and if I'm with the doctor they don't really say much to me when I was my mum. District nurses because I live in such a rural place like I live in the middle of nowhere they most of the time refuse to come and see my mum because we live so rural and even if she's like really ill they won't come and see her. My mum's got an ileostomy bag and she always runs out to them towards the end of the month and they don't like send her any more. Then she can't eat food because then the bugs would leak for the night and then they like stops her getting sleep and then it makes it ill because that would lower her immune system and she gets like ill again. They're trying to educate us more about health so if there ever was like a problem in a house like the person would be careful or sick and there's no one else about. They're trying to teach us first aid so we might be able to like stop or help and try and prevent something before it starts. What would be nice is to get out to do one of my favourite sports swimming because it keeps my health right. It gives me a bit of stress free time. I'm still having counselling with the doctors to sort my anger out because sometimes I can't control what I'm that bad. I just can't control what. I have to obviously go for my prescriptions as well and it does get horrible but at the times I feel really happy about being able to help my dad because it basically doesn't make me feel useless and makes me feel good about myself. I don't think it's changing for the better if anything. We're being ignored and there should be a lot more medical support on hand. The teachers don't see that I sometimes miss a lesson or something to go sit in the in carers office to talk rather than in a lesson because I'm stressed or I need someone to talk to. They don't see from my point of view why I'm there and teachers don't tend to understand. I think more teachers need to be aware that I'm a young carer because say if I haven't done my homework or say for whatever reason at home then they wouldn't know that it's because of him. They just thought maybe I'd be lazy or something like that. I care for my mum and my sister. It is quite stressful at times because I've got my own work to do, my school work GCSE is coming up now. So looking after my mum is quite hard at the moment. I can't focus a lot at home. I find it really stressful all the time. So I like getting out to do things every now and then when I can. Young carers is great. The teachers do not understand where the in carers come from, why they trwant. But in actual fact they're actually trying to do things for their family and fit it all into the schedule with their education as well. Obviously I sit there worrying and worrying about my dad. I can't concentrate my work. It's like times when I've got a ring in and I'm like I can't come in because I've got to look after my dad. I do worry a bit if I don't hear from her during the day or if I can text her and she doesn't text back. There's only two people I think in the whole school that knows that I'm a young carer and that's the two of the three deputies. I don't think any of the teachers know and what I think could be an improvement is either they tell them or we have like a little ID card just to in general just to like show somebody that says we're a young carer. For people to understand what more I do for my mum. Like say if you didn't do your homework on time because you're caring for whoever. That's also an issue because I get the tension a lot for not doing my homework because of looking after my mum. We have a social worker called Mrs Clare Owen and she's got a list of all the young carers and a couple of my teachers know because if you have homework and you're late or if you're late for a lesson they know why you might be late.    I have to have a note and I would like to be able to just go in and say I've had to do this and this and that and they would understand that. I think there should be someone from a young carers project in all schools everywhere as much as possible. I'm in college now but when I was in school they had support there and people could talk to you both because have someone in college to talk to about it and like support you through it. They do quite a lot really. Wich Silwyn comes in every couple of weeks to see how we're doing. Has like a little session. They tried to do that, take us out of like lessons which aren't core subjects so they'd never take us out of like an English, Welsh, Signs or English lesson so they wouldn't want to like effect that education as well so nothing more they could do really. We're not like letting people know that we are young carers so they try and keep like it private and help you at the same time. I think we should have a card of young carers to help us more with activities and other things we could do outside of school. There should be like a bus pass for young carers so they can get to school if they need to, if they're late or something or they need to get back from school or they need to go shopping or something. I used to get really badly bullied and people take the make out of the fact that I have to look after my dad and do the shopping and stuff and a few times I've been jumped down and I had the shopping and the money taken off me and then all I've gone home with was like a nosebleed and black eyes and stuff like that. I would like people to like not take a mickey out of us for going to young carers and I would like them to like understand what a young carer is. To begin with I planned on staying at home and then just travelling to Wrexham University but it really upset my mum and the idea that she was holding me back from going away and living the uni life. So after some poking and prodding to go and going but it's going to be difficult because more social workers are going to have to come in and help my mum. I don't know, I feel sort of guilty believing a bit but I'll only make her feel bad if I don't go. I want to go to university but my stepdad looks after when I'm in school so I think you should be okay hopefully. Obviously I'll come and see her I've got weekends or whenever I can come back and see her but yeah I guess I do worry when I leave what if he's going to be okay. I can't go off to uni or anywhere like that because I won't be around much to help out my family so it'll be a bit difficult. Yeah, you know, way things have improved by having access to the young carers project in school once a week but other than that I don't think teachers are aware of people's situation at home because none of them know that I'm a young carer none of them ask me how things are or speak to me about them. When social services were involved in me they were there for me and my siblings but they tend to care more about the siblings and what my mum and my stepdad were involved in rather than me and myself. I was pushed aside. I think it is important to have people there for you for the support and everything but some people who don't they get into other things and it's just easier to have people there to talk to and it's nicer, you can get through it a lot easier. It gives you an hour or a couple of hours away from what goes on in your house and it lets you know you're not the only one in the world that has to deal with these problems with other people you can't talk to and that is help available to help if you need it. I think that's improved in a way that we can now get support from social workers meaning that we can sit down as a family discuss problems, address solutions, things like that because a few years ago when I was younger there was no social workers to do that we had no awareness of it but now there's a little more awareness and there's a little more help there. This young girls project has helped me make new friends, be more social build up confidence to talk to my talk to friends and the staff about problems and they helped me out a lot with problems and I think they're all great I'm glad to meet them I think just meeting new friends was good just the friends that have the same problems at home they understand my normal friends don't understand what sort of pressure you go through being a young carer. Don't just shove young carers to the side it's clean, don't put them into the dark bring them into the light.


YouTube now lets you self-certify your videos for monetization when you're uploading them. Let me show you how it looks. Now we see this, we are making changes to help you earn revenue faster. What it means is on the monetization tab you can now self-rate your videos and by providing answers to each of these categories, YouTube will let you keep monetization on more than if you don't self-certify. How is that possible? Well, according to the YouTube help article, the link is down there in the description below. The YouTube self-certification is here because their systems don't always get it right. Don't we know that? Remember that yellow icon? That's the part of not getting it right. So YouTube is now allowing you to build your reputation with them in reviewing your own videos for advertiser friendly guidelines. Note, we'll consider your input in our automated review. As you build your rating accuracy, we will rely on your input even more.  No, it'll just make it so it's harder for you to self-certify in the future. So be honest and if you do get it right, then your opinion will more likely keep the monetization on. So right now, everyone who's uploading videos and has this enabled, you have to self-certify. It's not an option. And previously uploaded videos that you want to turn ads on also must be self-rated. Now there's an important question is how do I leave this program? If you don't want to always self-rate your videos, well, you have to contact creator support. That's the only way. There's no button to say leave self-certification. How do you join? Well, it's being rolled out in stages currently, which means YouTube is deciding who gets to be part of this self-certification program at this point. Not everyone is in it. If I self-certify, does it mean my video won't be demonetized? No, it's just an indicator that YouTube will use to decide whether to keep your video monetized. And here's an important point. Is there a way to see my videos monetization before I make it public? Yes, upload it as unlisted.  And of course, the big question about TV versus YouTube, why are these guidelines different than television? And that's because on TV, advertisers typically have the opportunity to review content before it airs. Do you think advertisers get to see all your videos before you make them public? No! So of course, YouTube has to have other systems in place to keep their advertisers happy. All of this stuff is for advertiser confidence, guys. I know it's a lot of work and you might be thinking, why is YouTube telling me to do their job for them? Shouldn't YouTube be reviewing my videos for advertiser-friendly guidelines? Well, they're asking for your help because they don't have enough people to review every single video that's uploaded. So they create automation and that automation often gets it wrong. And so in order to make you more money, YouTube is asking you to do the work of telling them which of your videos are good for advertisers. Now, it's important to note, it's not just the obvious stuff. Even light profanity is okay. But strong profanity, or in the beginning of the video especially, has limited ads. So if you choose this one, it's still okay. You would get ads as you would normally get ads. And of course, strong profanity used in a hateful or derogatory way is not suitable at all for ads. Now, there's another one I want to bring your attention to, which is the adult content. This is the part that's a little gray area, romance or kissing, but not just that. Sexually suggestive content that may include limited clothing. These are the massage channels out there. These are the bikini channels out there at the beach. So there's a fine line between what is allowed for ads and what should have limited ads or no ads. From our personal experience, we've seen the Thai massage channels have a hard time staying monetized, as well as channels like wilderness survival channels because they fall afoul of this violence category where it's okay to have mild violence. Okay, that's for video games, but there's also about animal violence, like showing you catching a fish and bonking it over the head. So you can eat it. Those are areas where YouTube has been demonetizing videos. Sometimes when we escalate the issue to YouTube, they re-monetize it. Other times they do not. So share with us down there in the comments below your experiences with what content is allowed and what isn't. And there is another kind of content that I want to bring to your attention, which is thumbnails. Here are examples of some thumbnails that got this channel YPP suspended. Fighting. Exaggerated big turtle that doesn't actually exist. Nudity, even though it's on a statue. And let me show you a few more. Here is people living underwater. Obviously that's misleading if no one lives underwater. A big red eye, which isn't a real red eye, even though it's made to look like a real red eye. Again, misleading clickbait, not monetizable. And then this guy on a motorbike, breathing fire. There's no motorbike that breathes fire. We actually reviewed these videos directly to make these statements. And we created this screenshot of thumbnails for the channel owner to fix. Oh, and this very sharp teeth looking animal is also not in the video. So it's misleading. Oh, one more thumbnail over here. Two big buff guys. But again, they're not in the video. They're just there for a clickbait. So when you make your thumbnails, make sure they are relevant, not clickbait, that represent what's in the video, not misleading, no nudity, even on statues or dolls or toys. And keep in mind that if you don't follow these guidelines, YouTube will likely YPP suspend your channel for misleading thumbnails, often designed to get views. That's the official reason. So I hope this helps you understand all of these new options that YouTube is giving us, which I think is a really good feature, to self certify our videos, as well as some good tips on what kinds of thumbnails are not so good. Also, we paid you 3.4 million dollars a few days ago. Did you know that? It's the record payment for a long time for your May and June revenue.

And I am in Dubai. Didn't know that. I've been here for one year now. I'm living here with my wife, our four kids, and my parents are visiting for the next few months. Why am I in Dubai? Because it's a zero-income tax environment. Government makes its money from fixed fees instead of a percentage of your worldwide income. That means if you make a million dollars, you keep a million dollars. They do have a 5% that, a sales tax here, when you buy local goods, but all the money you earn from salary, from businesses, dividends, any kind of income is 100% tax-free. That's just the law in Dubai. Click that I to see all the videos I made about Dubai and what we call the freedom experience because we're inviting you to come here.

My name is Coach Coco and I love volleyball so much so my channel is filled with tips, tricks, hacks, and anything and everything volleyball. Today I want to talk about some common themes that we tend to see at tryouts. Let's get right into it. I've been making volleyball tryout videos for five years now and throughout that time I have had conversations with players all over the world about their tryouts, coaches about their tryouts and I've noticed some very common themes. Now I typically give very general tryout advice. Advice that could be applicable to any tryout. However, there are some common themes that we're seeing develop because volleyball is a moving and living organism and it grows and change with time. So there are some things that we're seeing change. Let's get right into it. So volleyball tryouts can be the toughest part of the year for a lot of people especially if you are trying out for a new spot, you're at a new school, you don't know anybody, all of that and even if you are going from JV to varsity that can be stressful too. Now with volleyball tryouts there are some common things that I'm noticing and I've talked about these things before but I'm going to reiterate them because we're in a new volleyball season. Common theme number one, cardiovascular exercise. There is just no way in heck. You're going to be able to get out of conditioning. Conditioning is going to happen. That means that you are going to spend some time running or some time doing some kind of physical exercise that may not exactly relate to volleyball. Why is that? Are you a runner? Are you a track star? Maybe not. However your coach wants to see how healthy your body is in the form of physical fitness. Do you think it's going to be helpful if there's a volleyball player who takes one step and they're like, oh coach I can't do it? No. So we want to see how physically fit you are. Does that mean you need to be Usain Bolt and you just need to just be sprinting and hit the world record? Now again, we need to see that you can actually persevere through some exercise and if you can't you have a good attitude about it. Remember attitude is everything. So you have a good attitude about it. Number two, you're going to scrimmage at some time. What is scrimmage for those who are new? Scrimmage is having a mock volleyball game or a mock sporting event which they're going to have people against people and they want to see how you are in in-game scenarios. Now this is probably the most stressful part for new players because they maybe have learned the skills on their own and they don't know how to apply it in an in-game scenario especially if they're applying rotations and all of that. The best advice I can give you in a scrimmage and you've never scrimmaged before is take it back to the basics. Keep your eye on the ball. If the ball comes to you, you know what to do. I know that's scary. Pass it, okay? Set it. If it's the third ball, hit it. Don't be alarmed or afraid if things move quickly because they can move quickly.  Take it back to basics. Be aware of where you are in space and time. Aware of other people around you. Remember, you know, pass, set, hit. Just take it back to basics and that will help you be able to calm yourself down and if the ball comes to you, you'll be able to do something with it. It's okay if you don't know your rotation yet. Nobody comes out of the womb knowing a 5-1 or a 6-2. We all had to learn it. It's how you approach it is that makes the difference. Are you going to be, oh, I don't know it yet, but I'll learn or are you going to be, oh my gosh, I can't do it. I don't know how to do it.  Now don't be dismissive. Come at it and approach it with grace. Tip number three, the coach is going to want to see individualized skills. Now typically, when we are looking to coach, we see players and we can automatically know what they're going to be great at. I can see somebody and go, wow, she's going to swing or pass her all day or she has set her hands like butter. I know very quickly. So I think the best thing that you can do, especially if you're a new player, is to become well-rounded and have a good basis or foundation of skills, especially if you don't know what position you want to play yet. It's a good idea to have a good foundation of passing that doesn't mean perfect, but you know what a platform is. You know how to hold your hands, stuff like that, and know how to, you know what a set looks like. You know what I'm saying. That way, when the coach is asking everybody to apply skills, you have the basics, the basics. Okay. We need the basics. Tip number four, coaches are watching you like, you think they're not watching you, but we're watching you. We want to see your attitude. I can spot somebody from far away and go, I don't know about that one. You have to have a great attitude. Drop the ball, smile. It's okay. I got it next time. Calling mine every single time, asking for a hit. Me, me, me, me, me. I got it. Saying I got it. Things like that show that you understand how we communicate in the game and your vocal. Now I don't mean you go, no, I mean, you go, I got it. Sorry for the headphone users. You have to be very, very, not screaming to the top of your lungs, but vocal, be vocal. Tell me that you really got it. Okay. These are some of the common things that we do see in tryouts. These are some of the common things that coaches are looking for. Even if your tryout is not exactly like this, these are some things that you most likely 95% are going to see. If you've seen some different things, please put in the comments down below what things your coach did because it could help somebody else on their tryouts coming up because school starts in like two weeks. So please put it in the comments below with everything. I hope that you liked this video. Please like, comment, subscribe, and I'll see you guys next time.
