Our next talk is going to be by Susanne Banknacht. She's a social scientist and she's doing research about hacking. And although she claims she's not a hacker, she's actually written a paper about GSM hacking. Yeah, so this is going to be very interesting. We also have translation available for this talk. You just dial 8014. So give a warm welcome to Susanne and enjoy. Thank you for having me. I'm very happy to be here. So by way of an introduction, this talk is about concepts. I'm a social scientist and I'm interested in concepts, words, ideas, vocabularies. Concepts matter because if you don't have a conceptual understanding of something, you can't really talk about it. You can't really work with it. You can't criticize it. That's why concepts are important tools. And this talk is about conceptual approaches to hacking. Hacking as a phenomenon, something that you can do. You can observe. You can talk about something that you might want to have a conceptual understanding of. So the question for this talk is, thank you. The question for this talk is, what is hacking? What's the concept of hacking? What should it be? What should be a concept of hacking like? Maybe that's a boring question for you.   But for me as a social scientist, this is a crazy question. So what's hacking? That's sort of a really big question.  I will be talking about concepts of hacking in academic research. How does academic research conceive of hacking? Academic research is increasingly interested in hacking. Research fields that are interested in hacking are the social sciences generally, but also interdisciplinary fields that bridge between social sciences and technology design, engineering, informatics, and computer science. Fields such as human-computer interaction or short HCI. Now, if research seeks to study practices such as hacking, typically there's some form of exchange involved. Exchange between those who are doing the study, running the study, and those who are studied, who are observed, interviewed, and so on. However, Phaefa, probably many of you know him, a blogger of the German hacking community, warned hackers against collaborating with researchers. Here's a quote. I'll quickly translate the first part into English. So lately he writes there has been a lot of research about hacking, about hacking communities and hacker spaces, also about groups such as Occupy. If they, these researchers, knock on your door, don't tell them anything. Just because they are polite and nice, you don't have to cooperate. So, and he goes on suggesting that these nerdy scientists that knock on your door are sent by the bad guys. Think tanks, consulting companies, corporate and public agencies who are afraid of hackers and want to spy on them. So, the thing is, I don't know anything about that spying business. I'm sorry. I can't tell you about that. But what I can tell you is what academic research about hacking actually looks like, how academic research conceives of hacking and how it conceptually approaches hacking. But before I do that, before I give you an overview of academic approaches to hacking, I want to give you the backstory. I want to tell you why I'm doing this, actually. So hacking is not my main research business. Hacking is sort of a weird side interest of mine. And I've been twice at the Congress before, a couple of years ago in 2010 and 2011. And I liked it very much. And at the same time, I became increasingly interested in HCI, that is in human-computer interaction. And I realized that in this field HCI, there's a growing literature about hacking. So HCI is a research field, is about the ways in which humans interact with computers. It's part social, part technical. It's part observing and understanding users and part building and designing for users. So users, HCI is typically about users. What do users want? What do they do? How can they be triggered into doing the right thing? Research in human-computer interaction has recently become very, very interested in hacking, but also in hacker spaces, making and do-it-yourself practices. Hacking is interesting for HCI because it is seen as a model for somehow engaging more actively, more deeply with computers. There are a lot of funding applications written about hacking at the moment. But somehow I didn't like the way HCI research approaches hacking. I found it lacking, I found it a bit disappointing because I think this kind of research was, to my mind, blind, blind to hacking's infrastructural scope. Hacking is not just about modifying artifacts, it's about infrastructuring, reconfiguring infrastructures, as I see it. And perhaps even more importantly, this research was blind to the political messages of hacking. Hacking practices communicate a political sentiment, communicate political messages. And I didn't find that in that literature. So in the remainder of my talk, I want to introduce some of these research approaches that I find lacking. And I say lacking, sort of with academic diplomacy, because much of this research is good research, it's not bad research, it's just that it leaves out very important parts of the picture, the larger picture of what hacking aspires or can aspire to be. So, and I'll also introduce some research approaches that I really like, that are much better at grasping the larger picture and that are doing justice to the political messages that hacking practices can convey. So, a first approach, conceptual approach to hacking. Hacking as creative and ad hoc. For researchers in human computer interaction, hacking is interesting because it approaches things differently. It breaks things, it turns them upside down, it improvises. Hacking is interesting because it is creative and it is creative often in unplanned ad hoc manner. That's why Joseph Paradiso, and he's working with von Hippel, many of you probably know that guy, Paradiso and his collaborators characterize hacking as ad hoc clutching. So he has a quote, hacking is appropriating, modifying or clutching existing resources, devices, hardware, software or anything within reach to suit other purposes, often in an ingenious fashion. And hacking is also described in sort of the same manner as opportunistic practice with an ad hoc nature. And there's more researchers who follow that line of thinking. For example, the use of tools and the making of tools in hacker spaces is described as ad hoc activity, making the most of what is at hand. If you don't have a tool, you make it. And if you don't have the stuff to make a tool, you just make it anyway with different stuff. And that's a kind of creativity that many researchers in human computer interaction find so inspiring. And they want to tap into that source of inspiration too. And that's fine, but it offers a very narrow perspective on hacking, sort of lacking the larger frame, I believe. The tricky question is, what's the motivation? What are the interests behind this kind of research? Is it a pedagogical interest in learning, trying to adapt the forms of learning that you find in hacking communities for mainstream education at schools and universities? That's one line of research. And for researchers, it's very fascinating to see how very complicated, very technical knowledge, but also very hands-on knowledge, is disseminated in online communities. But often the motivation to research hacking is a different one. It's an interest in innovation and economic value. And the question then is, do these research interests align with the interests that people in the hacking community have? So, innovation, economic value, let me give you some examples for how research frames hacking as innovation. Research in the field of HCI has described hacking in these academic papers as innovative leisure practice. It has also described hacking as end-user innovation or a form of user-driven product development. Hacking has also been called a simple way to speed up prototype development. So, this is all about innovation, finding a new take on technology innovation. And innovation is an economic term. Innovation is something that possesses economic value, something that someone can make money with. And you find this line of thought also in the work of other researchers. For example, Sylvia Lindner and collaborators, they studied hackerspaces in China and the U.S. And they went to these hackerspaces, observed people, talked to them, interviewed them, participated. And when they wrote up their research and turned it into an academic paper, what they wrote was this, hackerspaces as sites of innovation. Here's a... Oh, that's this one. And here's a longer quote. Our research suggests that we need to see hackerspaces not just as a place that amortizes the cost of a laser cutter and a 3D printer across hundreds of people. It is a place where people are experimenting with new ideas about the relationships among corporations, designers, and consumers. And what they observe and are interested in observing is a shift, quote again, from hobby to entrepreneurial practice. And that's zooming in on economic value. And I have sort of a very ambivalent stance towards this perspective. I don't think hacking is essentially about business and product. Correct me if I'm wrong. But I can see that this economic perspective is doing a nice PR job for the hacking community, especially in the U.S. context. To say that hacking is about technological innovation is one way to decriminalize it. It's a way, and that may be a good thing, but it's also a way that completely leaves aside the political sentiment that much of hacking carries with itself. It leaves aside political sentiment, and that's why I say with this academic diplomacy, I find this approach a little lacking. So what do you do? As a researcher, if you don't like the research literature that you have, you'll look for more literature. And if human-computer interaction doesn't get it entirely right, maybe others do. Maybe social scientists, anthropologists, sociologists. And in fact, I found research approaches to hacking that I really like and that are really getting at something. One of them is this. Hacking means transgression. Transgression. What's transgression? Breaking a rule, violating a convention. But hacking and transgression in hacking practice can take so many forms. There is legal transgression. Breaking the law is legal transgression. But it doesn't have to be a law. You can break other things too. You can break economic conventions. You can break cultural conventions. Just because you are expected to use your phone in a certain way doesn't mean you have to do it. You can break social conventions. And perhaps most importantly, you can break programming conventions. Research in various fields has emphasized this point, particularly in sociology and of course in criminology. Kevin Steinmetz, an ethnographer publishing in criminology, describes hacking as transgressive craft. And for example, the sociologist Paul Taylor has described hacking as illicit. And I think that's getting at something. A lot of hacking is about transgression, transgressing conventions. That's a good thing. But another important sociological approach to hacking is this one. And here we are getting really to some conceptual stuff. Hacking as challenging technological determinism. So technological determinism is the view that technology completely determines the social. In this view, technology determines what we do, what we think, how we behave, how we form communities, how communities function, how societies function. And for Silicon Valley, this may be fine. For sociologists, this is a horror scenario. Absolutely horror. Now, some sociologists believe that hackers are actually their allies in fighting technological determinism. For example, the English sociologist Tim Jordan argues that hacking both demands and refutes technological determinism. Hackers presume that the technologies involved in computers and networks will determine certain actions, and they presume also it is possible for them to alter and recreate such determinations. So fighting technological determinism, I think we're getting a little closer to the scope and the political message of hacking. And we're getting closer to a research approach that I really admire, hacking as practiced liberalism. So that's another perspective in the social sciences, most prominently voiced by Gabriela Coleman, a U.S. anthropologist and her collaborators. Many of you probably know Gabriela Coleman. She just published a book about anonymous and how anonymous morphed into political activism. She's interested in the political dimension of hacking. And together with Alex Golub, she has argued that hacking is, in fact, practiced liberalism. What underlies hacking, so their argument, is the liberal ethos of freedom. Freedom from corporate and political surveillance, freedom to do stuff, to reclaim proprietary knowledge, create technology, and disseminate technological knowledge. And what about transgression here? Actually, Coleman and Golub described transgression too as a reflection of American liberalism. It reflects, they argue, the very liberal value of creative individuality, and individuality that expresses itself against the conventions of mainstream society. So what this work shows, in a way, is that hacking is true American liberalism. One message that I'll read here is, Hello, America.  Don't hate them. Oh, they are your true self. That's one of their messages. Here's a quote, Hacking, so of marginalized or misunderstood in popular culture as the practice of deviant subculture, in fact, reveals the continuing relevance, if also the contradictions of the liberal traditions to the digital present. The only thing to keep in mind here is that this is a very American story and that the European perspective might look a little differently. So now that I'm almost at the end of my talk, I want to get back to something that I told you at the beginning. I told you that it's important, for me at least, to have a conceptual understanding of hacking, to be able to say what it is, to be able to talk about it. But for me, that's only half of the story because once you have a conceptual understanding of hacking, you can start challenging rethinking and remodeling the other concepts that you have. And two concepts that seem to become ever more important are technology use and design, use and design. We talk about design all the time. We talk a little less about use because it's a profane in a way, but design and use are two sides of a conceptual coin. And the fascinating thing about hacking is hacking is challenging the standard story of first design than use. The standard story of first design than use is this. There's professional designers and then there's more or less experienced users that put more or less effort into appropriating a technology. The ordinary human being is a user. The user is supposed to use technology and then there's the designer. In the broad sense of the term, also including engineers and business stakeholders. The designer is a privileged, a very privileged professional. The designer is powerful and the designer changes the world. User designer. So usually there's nothing much in between or beyond that. And I find this kind of thinking terribly limiting. That's thinking in very neat squares. Hackers, in fact, are not really, they're neither really, they aren't really designers and they aren't really users. They mix it all up in a way. Hacking practices mix this up, this neat distinction. So what hacking shows is that this neat story of first design than use doesn't really work out and that it shouldn't work out. It shouldn't work out. This story needs to be challenged. Otherwise we end up in a world with a class of privileged designers and the large group of users who can use stuff, maybe choose not to use stuff, maybe change the color of the phone, but not much else. To wrap this talk up, a quick conclusion. I was basically talking about two questions. What is hacking? The short answer is it can be all kinds of things. There's a range of approaches, research approaches to hacking and it very much depends on the values and research interests that underlie research. That's the thing to get it, I think. How research conceives of hacking depends on interests. Sometimes it also depends on funding applications and on values. And then there was a second question. The question, faith erased, should hackers talk to researchers if they knock on their door? I'd say why not? Why not? But better first have an open conversation about interests and values. Thank you. Thank you for the talk and we have time for a couple of questions. If you have any questions, just line up in front of one of the microphones distributed all over the cell. Yeah, please. Hello. Thank you for the talk first thing. I think it was very well structured and I had fun following it. However, I kind of tuned in a little late and maybe you took something, said something in advance that I didn't get. You said something about the concept of innovation. Actually what I'm getting at is just a little detail. But the concept of innovation being economical and I wondered, is it often or is it predominantly interpreted that way because you could also innovate because you have a certain need? A certain what? A need or just playing around and something fun happens and say, whoa, accidental innovation. Yeah, but I think the term itself has a strong economic connotation. So if you talk about innovation, typically as a sort of a research term, then you talk about something that has a money value. And of course, there's also social innovation, organizational innovation, but this term has strong roots apart from our everyday use of the word maybe, has strong roots in an economic vocabulary. So if a researcher writes a paper about hacking as innovation, there is an underlying economic value. Okay, thanks. Interesting because I as a user of that language have a completely different understanding of it, like what you said or everyday perception of it. There is a difference between everyday language and what you write in a research paper. Okay, thanks. Okay, there's another question on the left microphone. Thank you. I actually have two questions if that's all right. You talked a lot about innovations and also about entrepreneurship and I kind of got reminded of Schumpeter's idea of creative destruction. But my first question is, do you see a problem that because hackers are decriminalized and are more seen as these innovators that actually the society is changing, the hackers that the hackers actually want to change? Okay, I'm not sure. I got the latter part but I don't see a problem in decriminalizing hackers, but I see a problem in reducing the phenomenon of hacking to an economic phenomenon. I think that that's not doing justice to the phenomenon. I mean that's sort of a very flat, very narrow picture of it and I don't think it serves the community. If we now portray in research, portraying hackers as the new entrepreneurs, I think that's very limited if not a detrimental way of approaching it.  Thank you. Speak two completely different languages at some points and my question is in how far do you think something is lost or gained if you do a translation into a social scientist language or the other way around? I mean that's a very good point. I've been struggling with this a lot. You can frame it as a problem of interdisciplinarity or just as a problem of two cultures or whatever, but there is sort of a deep gap between someone who's thinking in social scientists terms and computer science. There is sort of a gap between that. And I think the thing to keep in mind is that different cultures or different academic cultures are good at different things. So social scientists have a very refined vocabulary when talking about power, communities, societies and computer scientists have a very refined vocabulary when talking about programming languages and they may not have that defined vocabulary when they are talking about societies.  But the thing to keep in mind is I think that social scientists are often observers and when you come here and you get into immerse into this hacking culture, this is a culture of sort of actually doing things and getting things done. And I find that very amazing and that's something I think social scientists have to remind themselves of. Thank you. Okay, we have a question from the internet. We take that first. I tried to treat this as a stack so I pop it off. The internet really thanks you for your talk and enjoyed your calm delivery. And the question is, do you think that hacking should be accessible to all? And how can we get those who do not understand what hacking is involved in it? Oh, these are two good questions. Yeah, I think hacking, I think it would be great if everyone had sort of the cultural, social and financial capital to get engaged with hacking. Unfortunately, I think this is not realistic for the near future because you have to remember that this is a practice that takes a lot of, it takes time, it takes money, but it also takes a certain mindset. Not everyone is ready for that. It takes what we call as social scientists, cultural capital to actually to take a phone apart if you purchase that phone for a lot of money and you really don't want to take it apart if it's the last kind of thing that you were able to purchase. So it takes a lot of capital, both in cultural and financial terms. But I think as sort of a societal vision, it's a nice and good and important vision to make hacking more widely available. And the second question, what was the second question? Can you repeat the second? The second part was, how can we get those who do not understand what hacking is involved in it? That's also a good question. I think that's a question of communication and dissemination. It's a question of, I think, decriminalizing hacking. I think that's important. Making hacking again one of those, getting hacking away from this gray zone periphery thingy, providing, giving hacking a more positive image in the eyes of a broader audience, in the eyes of a society. But I think to decriminalize hacking is, there are many ways to do that. And as I've said, I think refreshing hacking as the new entrepreneurship I think won't do. So that's a difficult task. Okay, so we should have time for two short questions. So that brings on the left. You waited. Hi, thanks a lot for your perspective. My question is kind of like, I was wondering for a clarification on your position and where you see yourself as a researcher and a clarification on your critique in your analysis of like the HCI research of Lidner or Hartman. It seems like you're conflating hacker, as one might see here in crypto analysis, with hacker as they see in maker spaces. And maker spaces are very much a commercialized space and it seems like you're kind of brushing together this wide gamut of lots of things that can be considered hacking as something that is being covered by them. And then you're criticizing the academy of researchers in this space, but at the same time it seems to be the same place where you're publishing. And so how do you see your position in bettering that? And how do you see yourself as a social scientist or as a hacker or as a hacker encourager or as someone who is a part or within it? Yeah, thank you. That's an interesting, I think two questions. First is question about there's a diversity, certainly. There's making, do it yourself and hacking. And I don't think I'm conflating these things. Actually, I think I have a problem of putting them all into one bucket because if you put it, and that's often done in the literature, there's often this phrase, hacking and making practices. And I don't like that because if you put hacking and making together and then you'll often end up with this image of hacking is like making and making is this commercialized inventor thingy very close to Silicon Valley thinking and stuff. And I don't like that. I think there should be more diversity in the literature actually acknowledging these differences, that there is a difference between rather apolitical making practices and practices that concern something like security research. So I think we should keep these things a little more apart. Making is apolitical. Sorry. Not all of it, but there are some. So if you're talking about research papers here in terms of research, making is often portrayed as apolitical and the cases that they refer to are often sort of, I think, compared to hacking rather apolitical cases. And I don't think these things should be all put into one bucket. I think there should be more of a sensibility for the diversity of that. And your second question, how I see myself as a researcher and that I'm actually publishing in this field, I'm about to publish one paper in this field. It's not my main sort of research area. And I'm actually publishing in this field because I think there is a need for this field, HCI, to get more of this perspective that recognizes political sentiment. I think there is a lack of research on that. I think the research perspective so far is somewhat too narrow. Okay, unfortunately we're out of time and we need some time to prepare for the next talk. So thank you for being here and enjoy the rest of the Congress. Thanks again.

What does the atonement do? What's the point of it? Well, the Bible says in Deuteronomy 1711, for the life of the flesh is in the blood and see God says that I have given it on the altar for you to make atonement for your souls. What that means is life is in the blood. Without the blood, there is no life. And so what does he do? He supplies the blood to make a payment for our sin. What the atonement does is it does three things. It covers our sin. In other words, he doesn't see the sin anymore. The debt is canceled, which is brought about by sin. The debt is paid by the blood. And because of that, the third thing, most importantly is there's this reconciliation whereby we as believers are reconciled to be with God and to be specific, to be with him forever. That's what the atonement does and that is certainly good news.


The SBDA 100 is a dive application used for logging and reporting dive profile information. Specific goal was for us to make sure that our Navy divers, as they manually log things, we wanted to automate that process and provide them with a digital record and tracker of all of their dive profile information. The Navy dive logging process hasn't changed very much in a long time. Typically, you'll have the dive supervisors or the person that's logging the dive will fill out a form or just write down on a piece of paper, left surface, return to surface, just the times. This gives them a very structured methodology for logging the dive. The dive application that we've developed not only works as a logger for dive profiles, but it also does Navy dive computer extraction of data and time series information, and then it also does an automatic upload into the DJRS system, which is dive and jump reporting system. The idea for the dive logging app came from the Force Master Diver at the Naval Expeditionary Combat Command, who is very experienced in diving and is therefore logged many, many dives over the course of his career and understands that there's a better way to do it using technology of today. Four years ago I was sitting there thinking of how can we make things better for the operators, for the young guys that have to, at the end of a long day, come back and manually go through the dive logs and write everything down and double check it and triple check it and submit it. Watching the how many hours it takes to manually log dives just seemed like something that we could achieve and be able to capture with today's technology in a much easier way. I think it's going to alleviate some of the administrative burden of manually adding dive tables and schedules into DJRS so we can focus on doing other things such as training and maintenance and diving and getting everyone qualified in what we're trying to do. The convenience and the efficiency of what you have actually in my opinion makes it a lot safer. The less we have to bring out when we do things the better and if you can encompass all that in one tablet we might have something that they can really streamline a lot of the planning because it's just a push button, we can get into that. The device is intended to benefit Navy divers around the world, specifically those that are doing service supplied diving as well as scuba diving. Tech Solutions is a great way for sailors and marines that know there's a better way that something could be done and no technology exists or might soon exist to help them perform their job and Tech Solutions is that outlet specifically for them. I think it's a great process that we have O&R. I never would have thought that a project that I was kind of doodling on and thinking about would actually get submitted and it would get approved and designed and built.


In cooperative learning, the teacher puts students in small groups to do an activity together. The students take the lead in doing the activity. The teacher only provides guidance as needed. The teacher does not put the same students together for each activity, but changes the groupings. That way, students can learn from a variety of partners. So in cooperative learning, the teacher puts students in groups, lets them take the lead in doing the activity, and changes the groupings for different activities. This method helps students learn about sharing, getting along with others, and working together.


Hey everyone, we're gonna talk about the good exercises to pair with your deadlift today It kind of depends on what you want to do. So if you're looking for just general hypertrophy You don't you don't always need to pair anything with it And sometimes it's best if you're if you have a base level of strength and you're maybe an intermediate to more advanced lifter It's probably best to just stick with that exercise Fatigue yourself as much as you can and then afterwards move on to whatever Accessory exercise you've deemed Appropriate but today what I want to talk about is not not pairing in the sense of a workout But pairing in the sense of sets, so I would do a deadlift and then another exercise and Then I go do a next set of deadlifts next set of other exercise now Next a little scenario here So let's say I'm trying to pattern this deadlift and I'm trying to Re-learn some sort of technique that allows me to find and feel my hamstrings It allows me to load my posterior chain of muscles and it allows me to decompress my back or Stabilize my knee or whatever. I'm looking forward to doing So for this I'm usually gonna be pretty particular about the exercise that you're doing I Meaning it's very person dependent for me if I notice somebody who is really Asymmetrical and really cave in over onto their right side, you know Maybe I'm giving them something to shut down their right adductor stop pulling you over to that right side Let's turn on your glute get that hips some support so that you can drive off of that leg during your deadlifts If If that's not necessarily this scenario a good general rule for you to try is to do something that Allows you to feel those lower outer abdominals or your hamstrings Especially upper hamstring not the part down by the knee but up towards the buttocks So to speak so you could do some sort of hamstring slider curl I like that that Exhaustion that you get there really helps you tune into that muscle. It helps you feel what's going on From a from an ab standpoint you might do a one of my favorites now is the full rock back Both hands around the ground sometimes you might elevate your left knee on a pad Maybe two inches or so and this gets you a little bit of addressing or it gets you addressing that asymmetry That you might be having but it also Focuses on opposing the stuff that gets tight during your deadlifts namely you or your back Extensors it helps oppose those turn these abs on so I can recruit the muscles that I need so if you're looking for Fixing technique and feeling better stuff Oftentimes it's best to pair these deadlifts with some sort of Lower outer abdominal exercise make sure you're getting all your air out make sure you're keeping yourself pushed away From whatever ground or whatever you're you're using as your implement to help you figure out this position now next scenario what if we're you know looking more for hypertrophy stuff, so Again, I'm not really pairing it if I'm looking for strength, but strength is different than hypertrophy If I want just more muscle then I can take this exercise this deadlift and I can say okay That's my lower body exercise now What's my upper body exercise and the thing about the deadlift is it's really a whole body exercise It's trying to tear your arms right off your body That's that's kind of the visual that I like to give people because I think it puts you in the mindset of yeah This this should be kind of difficult, but that's realistically what's happening and people will get Extra slabs the muscle on their upper back shoulder arm area from doing deadlifts Even more so than doing you know tricep extensions, right because this is a big time movement You're gonna get this hormonal response and you're gonna signal a little bit more muscle growth there So what if muscle size is my my goal if I have someone who's working out Two to four times a week which is generally the the lifting schedule that I'm recommending I'm gonna have you do Probably whole-body workouts, especially if you're a slightly less experienced I want you to start exposing yourself to other movements So with a deadlift I might want you to practice the deadlift and then I might pair that not with an upper back Exercise because I think that upper back area is going to get tired. It's going to support your deadlift So we don't want to fatigue it, right? It's an accessory muscle of your deadlift So we want it to be fresh so that your deadlift is as high as possible But I might give you some sort of pushing exercise So that could be push-ups that could be a bench press a floor press that could be an overhead press some Variation some incline press dumbbells barbells doesn't matter Swiss bar if you got it you could hold a safety squat bar I'm sure and that'd be weird, but I'm sure somebody's tried it before And and you can take this pushing exercise and you compare it with your deadlift and you can push both of those exercises and and you can save some time because While you do your bench press your leg muscles and your back and whatever are pretty much resting, right? So even though there is some general sense of Nervous system fatigue that you're gonna have to deal with you get that local muscular fatigue kind of clearing out While you're doing other work. So this this session becomes more and more efficient Those are pretty much my thoughts. So if you're trying to fix something Give yourself some sort of lower outer abdominal muscle activity That is the the like catch all Recommendation that I would give you and if you're looking for high perch free Pair with some sort of pushing exercise generally you can do upper back stuff But general or any sort of pulling like a pull-off or whatever, but generally I'm gonna recommend Doing some sort of push thing and you can really maximize the efficiency of your time if you have any other questions feel free to leave them below and if you just like to do Strength stuff and keep your deadlift as just a deadlift and not try to pair anything Maybe your gym is really busy and it's hard to hold two different pieces of equipment That's totally fine, too. You're gonna still get a lot out of that So keep pushing forward and if you have any questions leave them in the comments below


Guys, I'm going live early. How about that? Little bit early for those of you who are here early, do me a favor, post in that chat section. If you can hear me, I would appreciate that. I didn't mean to go live early. I was checking out some of my equipment and things started up, so what the heck? Why not get started a little bit early? Those of you who were waiting for me at 10 o'clock when you get an early dose of me, I guess. So this is going to be our motivation session today. And I want to make sure that you can hear me. So do me a favor, post in that chat section or give me a thumbs up or something. Interact with me a little bit and let me know that you can hear me. I'm also going to check it on my phone and probably an iPad here. Give me one second, guys. Trying to get everything set up on a Saturday morning. Yes, it doesn't matter what morning is it. What difference does it make if it's a Saturday morning? It makes no difference, does it? Okay, so let me just check one other thing here to make sure we're looking good. All right, so there's my channel and tell me where you're at, what you're doing, man. Tell me what's going on. Good morning, Dennis. What's going on, buddy? Let me know if you can hear my audio. I'm a little concerned that you guys can't hear my audio, but maybe you can. I'm going to try to check it right here to make sure. Yes, yes, you can, because I just checked it on my phone here, so you can hear my audio. That's good, that's a good thing. And we're going to talk all about motivation today. I want to share a couple of stories with you today. I think you're going to like them. I think when you leave here today, after this training, you're going to look at motivation entirely different. Damn, what's going on? Good to see you, man. Good morning. I saw you jumped in there and got that quiz done a couple of times, which is great. We had, shoot, thousands of people do that, but I got my favorites out there, you know. You were my favorites. Dennis, good, he can hear me. And if you're having problem with motivation, put that in the chat box. I think everybody to a certain degree has a problem with motivation, but I think I can fix it for you today. I really do. I think I can fix it for you. It's taken me 61 years to figure out some of these things. So I guess if I can share it with you, you're younger than me. I'll speed up the process for you. And, you know, another thing I want to talk about is, you know, we're going to get into motivation and how you can have motivation and all that. But I want to talk about the pressures you put on yourself and why you may not feel motivated now. In fact, I'm going to give you the answer why you may not feel motivated now. And it's probably not going to be what you think. And one thing I do want to do guys is I want to hook a cord up to this. Give me one second. I'll rub it. One second. I mean, like one second. You can probably still hear me. I just want to plug in here because I didn't do this beforehand. And it was really weird. All right, let me get plugged in here. Okay. That's good. That's good. All right. So it was really weird because I tried to use my StreamYard software today and I'm having an issue with StreamYard. If you've ever tried StreamYard, check it out. So you got some more rain today. Yes. Motivation is rough. It's rough because of what we've been taught. We've been taught all wrong. I'm going to show you how what you heard about motivation is entirely wrong. It's wrong. They told you the wrong thing. And then when you're not getting the results you want you're like, well darn, maybe there's something wrong with me. I'm not motivated. There's nothing wrong with you. It's what you've been taught. It's the direction you've been taught that's messed up. Oh yeah, don't forget. Subscribe to the channel. Don't forget to ring the bell. Turn on all bell notifications so you're notified each and every time we go live. Very important that you do that. Now, motivation, let's get into this, okay? What are some things that would demotivate you? In other words, things that make you not feel like doing anything, okay? And I think one of them would be illness, okay? If you don't feel good, if you don't feel healthy, you're not going to want to do stuff. Now, here's the problem with feeling healthy. Number one, health is not something you are given. Health is something you have to work for. So as a kid, I always heard you know, some people have good health, some people don't. That's not true. That's not true at all. The truth is you have to work for good health. Now think about this.  You're not going to feel healthy. You don't go to the gym, you don't exercise.  Last night I had a salad, okay? Every now and then you got to throw a salad out there. I do go and work out. I work out, I do push-ups, I do set-ups. You know, I do a treadmill. I do all these things and I don't want to do any of it. I don't want to do any of it. And you're saying, well, JR, how'd you get motivated to do it? I didn't. I didn't. Here's the truth. Let me explain to you this motivation thing which we are so perplexed by. Let's see here. Tyance is struggling to figure out all the things so that is rocking my confidence. Okay, I'm going to give you that one too. Reminding me to get back to that one. I'm going to give you that one. Motivation is not success. In other words, motivation doesn't come prior to success. Success comes, what? When does success come? Success comes when we do things that we don't want to do and we get a good result. Now think about this. Motivation is not success. Success is motivation. I'm going to give you an example. I'm going to tell you a couple of stories. The first one, I used to manage a lot of salespeople. Lots of salespeople, okay? And those salespeople would say, I just don't feel that motivated today, boss. I don't want to talk to customers. I don't feel motivated. Okay, now if I take that same salesperson and they go out and they help a customer and that customer buys a vehicle from them. Back then we were selling cars. That customer buys a vehicle from them and they make a nice profit and they make a nice commission, okay? What happens to their motivation at this point? Well, you're going to say, well, it's going to go up JR because they just had a success. Correct. So is that person more motivated to go wait on a customer than the person who hasn't waited on anybody yet? And the answer is yes. So here's the real truth. Motivation comes from success. Motivation comes from success. So the key that we have to get to is get to success. That's what we have to do. We got to get to success first. How do we get to success? We constantly do things that we don't want to do. What? Yes. That's where it's all at, guys. This is where it's so messed up.  And that's a lie. It's a bold-faced lie. You're not going to feel motivated to get successes. It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. Here's what you have to do. You have to go do things that you don't want to do and hope to get some successes. Because if you get some successes, it's going to motivate you to do those things even more. Example, I want to go to the gym. You want to go to the gym, okay? Why? We don't really want to go to the gym, right? Nobody wants to go to the gym. Nobody wants to join a gym. Nobody wants to lift weights. Nobody wants to ride a bike. Nobody wants to get on a treadmill. They want the results of doing those things, right? They don't want to have people see them work out. They want to have people see them in shape. So they want the results of that thing. So understand that you're never going to feel motivated to do painful things. It's not going to happen. Quit waiting to feel motivated. I listen to David Goggins all the time. If you don't know David Goggins, look him up. Good morning, Susie Jug. What's going on? Richard Brown is in there, of course. And David Goggins will tell you.  He runs 100, 200 mile races. He's been a Navy SEAL. He's been an Army Ranger. He's done so many things. And he says every morning he looks over at his shoes to go running and he doesn't want to do it. He doesn't want to do it, but he doesn't. And here's the big key, guys. It's not getting motivated to go out and get successes. It's forcing yourself to do things you don't want to do at all. That's it. It's forcing yourself to do things you don't want to do to get successes. And then when you get those successes, you're going to want to do it more. I'll give you another example. When I started my survival food company, I had my own brand of products. And these products were great, but nobody knew about it. Nobody was buying them. So I had this idea that I wanted, Susie just agreed, thank you so much. I had this idea that I would start calling other people's websites and trying to get them to put my product on their site. And I called and I called and I called. Everybody told me no. They said they weren't interested. They said that they didn't know anything about my products. They said that they didn't think it would sell. They said that they didn't think they'd make any money. And I heard this all day long. Sometimes I would make 200 phone calls a day. I would send out thousands of emails and everybody told me no. But then one day, one day I was into this for probably a couple of weeks. And then one day this guy said to me, he says, I'm building a website and I really like the idea of your survival foods. I'm going to put them on my website when I build the website. So this is pretty early stage, right? So I got this Manila folder and I had this form that I filled out with all of his information and what his website was going to be and what his name and address and email and phone was. And I put it into that folder and in the bottom of this file cabinet, which I don't even have file cabinets anymore, I put his folder and I said, look, I've got somebody that's going to sell my products. I'm so excited. And I was. Matter of fact, I was so excited that that day I made more calls than I had ever made. I send out more emails than I'd ever sent out because I had somebody that believed in me and believed in my product and they were going to sell it. Now that one guy really motivated me to continue my business. I have since sold millions and millions of dollars of my product. I've had days where I sell over $100,000 a day. Now understand I would never have gotten to $100,000 a day. And no, I don't do $100,000 every single day. So don't think that. But I've had days that I do. I have days I do 50,000 or 30,000 or 60. I have some people that have spent almost $100,000 just under $100,000 in one order. But why, how did I get there? I got there because one guy said he was going to sell my products on his website and I got news for you. That was in 2010. He never built the website. He never sold any of my products whatsoever. So that technically was not even a success. But in my mind, I perceived it as a success. In my mind, I said, hey, somebody has enough faith in me to say, hey, I'm going to put my products on my products on this website and I'm going to sell your products. That's what he said to me and it motivated me so much. I was so excited. I said, I got somebody and then I got somebody else and I got somebody else and I got somebody else. And now if you go out there and you Google, and let me put it in here, whereas I'm trying to find my notes here, Google, Google Survival Cave Food. Okay, this is my survival foods. If you Google Survival Cave Food right now, and you can open another tab, you can still hear me, you're going to find, matter of fact, I'm going to do it right now. Can I share my screen on this? I think I can, I think I can. Let me go over here to OBS and I'm going to share my screen for just one second. Okay, and I think all I have to do is move this up one.  I'm going to Google Survival Cave Food. Now this was just an idea I had, just an idea, okay? Now if you look as of this morning, there are 17,100,000 results because one guy said he might sell my products. And here's my product right here, Survival Cave, right? It's at Homefront Emergency, okay? And there's other survival food products there, but look at this. My website is at the top of the results for Survival Cave Food, okay? And then there's some other survival companies out there. Here's my domain authority, right here. Survival Cave Food, domain authority 34, okay? And if you look down through here, look at all this. This is all my products guys because one person, one person, look at this, Amazon. Here it is on Amazon. Here it is on Amazon. Here it is on Off-Grid Warehouse. Here it is on Directive 21. Here it is on Homefront Emergency. It is all over the place. If I keep clicking, you're gonna find thousands of websites have my product on it. Thousands of websites have my product on it, guys. That is insane. Now let me get back over here to OBS. But understand where this came from. This did not come from me being successful at first. It came from me doing things. Let me move this up. It came from me doing things that I didn't wanna do. I did not wanna call all these people. I did not wanna make 200 phone calls a day. I don't do that now. Now I don't. Now I just have money rolling in, which is really nice. And that's where you can get to. But quit waiting for motivation to come tap you on the shoulder.  They lied to you because nobody is motivated before they're successful. How could you possibly be?  I don't think so. Now, I will tell you this. If I make a call today to somebody, I'm motivated and I'm motivated because I know what a great company I have. I know the millions of dollars of products I've sold. I know how happy customers are with my products. I know these things, okay? I didn't have that in my back pocket before. Now I have that in my back pocket. Now I have all those people that bought my products. Let's see here, what? You're not going to motivate me? Well, I hope I am, but in a different kind of way, I want you to feel better about the fact that you're not motivated because that's how you should feel. You should feel not motivated. Now go force yourself to do the things you know are right. That's what I wanna get you to do. That's what I want you to understand today. You have to force yourself to do the things that you just don't wanna do, but you know there's a chance of getting some success. This is true with running ads. This is true with finding new products. This is true with finding some, your love of your life. I mean, how many people did you ask before you found that person? Did you quit? Did you quit looking because some people told you no? Don't, don't quit. There's no point in quitting. No, because you still got life.  I don't wanna run over too much, but that's the fact. Now, I do have a few things that I want to help you with that may make it sound, let's see here, have a prosperous mindset, 100%.  They pick up the clothing and they look at the price and they go, that costs too much. That's too expensive. That's too much money, that item is. They're lying to themselves. How are they lying to themselves? Well, because it's not too expensive, you just can't afford it. That's the truth, quit lying to yourself. Now, the next thing you're gonna say is, I don't have enough money. I need more money. I don't have enough money. Then go get it. There is plenty of money out there. There's plenty of money there, plenty of money. I'm sitting in this house right now that we just built, beautiful Georgetown, Texas, overlooking my beautiful backyard here in my 12 foot ceilings here in this huge room because I went out and did things that I didn't wanna do. I didn't wanna do them. Do you think I wanna get up on a Saturday morning after I've got money in the bank, after all my cars are paid for, after I've got a nice house, after I've got my belly full and sit here and work to convince you guys to be motivated? I don't have to do that. I have to force myself to do that because I know that if I can get that message across to you that you don't need motivation. You need success and you need to force yourself to do things. In the only way, you're gonna feel motivation. The only, the motivation is 100% a byproduct of success. Motivation never comes before success. It never will come before success. That's like saying, pay me a lot of money and then I'll go work real hard. How many times have you heard that?  Why don't you do this on a job? And here's the reply, you've heard this before. They don't pay me to do that. They don't pay me to do all that stuff. Why would I go do all that extra work when they're not paying me for it? Well, here's the truth. You've gotta do all that extra work first, then they will see your value and then they will pay you for it. Now, I hear the negative stuff out there. I hear it already. The negative person saying, oh no, I tried that once. I tried working real hard and they didn't give me a raise. It didn't happen. They didn't give me more money. Well, so what? Keep trying, get another job, try something else. Don't quit because here's the facts. There are people who worked really hard who make a lot of money. They weren't lucky, it's not luck guys. Luck is a byproduct of effort.  No, luck is a byproduct of your actions. What are you doing to get lucky?  That's it, that's the big key to luck. That's the key to success. These are byproducts of effort. The thing you have to apply is real 100% effort.  Think of the salesperson who forces themselves to go wait on a customer, makes a sale. How do they feel after that sale? They feel motivated. Now they're motivated. Where did the motivation come from? It came from the success. These are byproducts guys. Don't wake up in the morning and go, I'm just not motivated today. No kidding, no kidding. My son is a bodybuilder and he's in great shape and I don't know, can I find a picture of this boy here real quick? And he was a personal trainer and he doesn't do personal training anymore because he got really frustrated. And he got frustrated. Let me show you him first. Let me just show you Patrick real quick. Well, this is him jumping out of an airplane right now because that's his hobby, jumping out of airplanes. But that's not the picture I wanted to show you. Let me just show you a little picture of my little boy and you can kind of see what he is like. Let me find him here. And he is somewhere in here. Hang on with me.  Now, this is after he had his shoulder operated on right there and yet he's still going to the gym. He said, well, I could work my legs. So those of you who say, well, I'm not good at upper body, here's another picture of my little boy right there. That's a picture of him. And he quit doing personal training and here's why because people would tell him, people would tell him that they weren't motivated. They would tell him that they like to eat too much. They would tell him they didn't feel like it or they got burned out. That's what they would tell him. And he couldn't fathom it.  And I'm tired too, but I just do it because I want the results. So guys, if you're concerned about your motivation and you may have been worried up until this morning, you may have said, you know, it's my fault, JR. It's seriously my fault because I am just not the kind of person with a lot of motivation. That's on me. I'm just not a motivated person. You're like everybody else. Nobody's motivated. Nobody is motivated. People force themselves to do stuff. They get successes like what Patrick looks like right there, my son, and then that motivates them. That's where the motivation comes from. You're looking in the wrong place for motivation. Quit looking at nothingness for motivation because that's what we do, right? We look at nothingness.  No kidding, no kidding. But here's the truth.  And the answer is absolutely, absolutely I would feel motivated. Well then, success, right, is the key to motivation. Motivation will never, ever come tap you on the shoulder. Sure, some days you're gonna feel better than others but if you're waiting for those days, they are gonna be few and far between. Every now and then, when I go to the gym, I feel like going every now and then, not very often. 90% of the time I don't wanna go. 90% of the time, I don't wanna write scripts for videos on YouTube. 90% of the time, I don't wanna sit in my office for 10 or 12 hours and record videos. 90% of the time, but there's that 10% every now and then I get some motivation. You know, I had a really nice comment today and I'll share it with you. Somebody commented on one of my videos and I'm gonna see if I can find it here real quick but the person was very kind to me, very kind to me. Let's see here. This is what they said. This is the most precise, concise, to the point, easy to understand advice and tutorial on how to maximize one's business thank you page. I believe this is the most comprehensive tutorial with examples that I can find on YouTube with only the meat and potatoes. No fluff, I learned a lot from this. A major thank you for hooding this video up. Would love to learn more marketing strategies from your channel. This comment right here, guys, that comment right there is my motivation. That comment is my motivation, guys. That, reading that when I got up out of bed this morning and I said, well, I don't really feel like doing a lot. That's not what I really feel like doing. And then I read that, I don't know if you can see it, I don't know if you can see it, hope you can. And then I read that and I said, wow, I'm motivated now because I was able to touch that one person. If I'm able to touch that one person and make that one difference, why shouldn't I be in here helping you guys out? I should because you know what? This today is gonna touch somebody and they're gonna say, you know what? I didn't understand motivation before, JR. I thought that was something you were just born with. No, no, no, no, they taught you wrong. They taught you absolutely wrong. Let me check out some of these comments here. Man, thanks for clarifying the difference. You've just taken away all of my excuses. Oh, man, that's so good to hear, LaTanya. Thank you so much, it's so good to hear. Let's see, Susie Judd, you are right. I just bought a house in Italy. Oh wow, and I live and have an office on Coronado Island in San Diego. Hey, Susie, I just moved from Scripps Ranch in San Diego. I am in Georgetown, Texas now. So I know exactly where Coronado is and congratulations on your home in Italy too. Susie says, I actually quit my job after I spoke to you. Oh my goodness. And when I gave you a message that one day at, let's see, one day at Message Green in Scripps. Okay, yes, yes, I remember you, Susie, I sure do. You are correct. You just got to figure things out and try. If I flub up along the way, it's gonna happen and it'll be okay. Yes, it will, and here's the thing, guys. I think a lot of people don't try things because they're afraid, they're fearful that they're gonna fail at some stuff. Now, let me clear all that up for you so you don't have to worry about this anymore. You will. You will fail at some stuff, but here's the wonderful thing about failing at stuff. There aren't that many things to fail at, okay? There's not a million ways to do the wrong ad. There's not a million ways to screw up building an email list. There's only a handful. So what this means is every single time you screw up, every single time you make a mistake, you need to go thank you because I'm that much closer to figuring this stuff out. Now, let me give you another example. In sales, when I was managing salespeople, the ratio was you would sell one out of five people, one out of five people, you'd sell one out of five. So you had to wait on four people that told you no to get to that one. Now, obviously you may sell two in a row and then have to go through 10 or whatever the case may be, but on average, it was one out of five. Now, if you take that one out of five, okay, that you just take that one out of five and let's say your commission is $300, we'll just throw something out there. You take 300 divided by five and you get 60 bucks. Now, if I were to tell my salespeople and I asked them this question over and over again, what if I were to pay you $60 every time you went out and waited on somebody? Didn't matter if they bought or didn't buy or what happened, I'm just gonna give you $60. How would that change your motivation? Most people would tell me, they would say, well, I would be really motivated. Matter of fact, I would go out there and wait on all the people I could. Matter of fact, I'd stay late, I'd probably come in early, I may even miss lunch if you were gonna pay me that way. If you were gonna pay me every time I waited on somebody, but you see, that is how life works. It works just like that, just like running ads, just like building your list, just like selling products online.  You may not have seen it yet, but you got paid because you will run through enough things that don't work and you will hit the right thing and it's gonna pay off. And that's the one thing I really, really wanna get across to you this morning, guys. You will come across the thing that works. It's gonna happen for you. Now, we can expedite that, right? We can learn from people who've done it. You can go through my channel and you can watch videos. I've shown you this morning, there's 17 million results from my product, so obviously I did something, right? I'm not patting myself on the back because tomorrow I could have a bad day, right? And the only reason I got to that point where I made the money is because I kept trying things and I kept failing. That's it. And there's no shortcut to that. I guess the only shortcut is to maybe listen to some of my stuff and do some of the stuff I recommend, but don't take too many shortcuts. Fail a little bit, fall down a little bit. It toughens you up.  If you never are used to failing, if you're never used to any pain, let's say you never go to the gym and you go to the gym one day and you get really sore and you went, oh my God, that made me sore. I don't wanna go to the gym anymore. It makes me sore. It makes me hurt.  But if you go, you know what? It made me sore. It made me hurt, but I know that's really building. And I'm gonna go tomorrow. I'm gonna go the next day and I'm gonna keep hurting until I see results. That's the same difference. There's no difference. There's no easy way to this. But the wonderful thing is, when you get there and you get to the success and you look back at all the hard work you put in, you're gonna go, you know what? Wow, this was worth it, man. I busted my butt, but look where I'm at right now. Look where I'm at right now. And then pat yourself on the back and then stop and then move forward some more. Never quit moving forward. Let me read some of your comments here. Let's see here. You are correct. Just got to figure things out and try. Yeah, I've read that one there. When did you move to Texas, JR? You know, I moved here. Gosh, what was the date? I think we left the 18th or not. I think we got here like the 20 something, maybe 21st, 22nd. I can't remember the date now. 21st, 22nd, something like that. So we've been here a little over a month. We love it. It's beautiful. Gas is cheap. There's no personal property. There's no personal income tax. You know, if food's cheaper, there's so many wonderful things about Texas. People are very, very nice. We don't have to deal with politics. Matter of fact, I'll share this with you guys. I didn't look, I didn't shave. Why didn't I shave? Here's why. Here's why. I did a couple of days ago, because I had to do videos, but we have a dinner we're gonna go to tonight. One of the real estate agents that we first met here, and this is a pretty wild story. And let me share it with you real quick. We came to Texas in November of last year. And what we wanted to do was we wanted, and you're gonna love this story, we wanted to find a place to rent and live here for about a year so we could learn the area, learn the lay of the land and just kind of see what's going on. Now, that was a risky thing to do, right? That's risky to just go move somewhere and not know anything about it, but it kind of was a calculated risk. I just knew I wanted to be here. So when we got here, we looked around, we couldn't find anything to rent. We were disappointed. We were like, oh, we got here and we failed. We failed. It was a failure. We didn't find something to rent. But what we did start doing is we started looking at some of the housing developments and we found a couple of developments that looked really nice. Matter of fact, the one I'm in now, and I don't wanna say what it is, but the development I'm in now looked really nice, but we didn't see the house we wanted. Didn't see the house we wanted. They didn't have a model that we liked. So we went to another development and we didn't really like the development, but it was the same builder, the builder that built our home here. Which is Perry Homes, plug for Perry Homes. They built great houses. And we met this young lady there. And she said, well, there is one plan that we don't have a model of. And they don't have a model in the neighborhood you want, but there is a model and it's a little bit of a drive. It's in the area called Dripping Springs. It'll take us about an hour to get there. And we can go there and take a look at this model. And it may be for you guys because we wanted four bedrooms. We wanted a library. We wanted a dining room. We went all these different things. And we went into one story. She says, there is a model down there that we can go look at. So we got there and we go up to look at the model and it's just frame. It's just frame of a house. The house is not complete. And I said, well, this is just a framed house. This isn't a complete house. And she says, yeah, but you could at least walk through it and kind of get a feel for it. So we walked through the house and we looked at it. And I understand we had failed. We'd already failed because we came. What was our goal? We came here to rent a home. And we failed. We failed miserably. But we liked this house. We liked this frame of this house that had no walls, had no appliances, had no exterior to it, just a frame. And we liked it. And we went back to the neighborhood that we were looking in and understand this lady couldn't sell us this house because she didn't work in the neighborhood we wanted to live in, the development we wanted to live in. So she turned us over to a guy we had met there, really great guy named Dennis. Just talked to him this morning. And by the way, we're having dinner with her tonight. That's where this is leading up to.  It's got some room we can move around. And we put a deposit on the house and we bought it. Now, we did that in November. Since November, this house has gone up $250,000. $250,000 increase since November before we even moved in, before we even moved in. Now, you can say, well, J.R., your trip to Texas was a failure because you didn't find a rental. You could say that, yeah, you certainly could say that but that failure led to a success. What are you not trying that could lead to a success? It may not go in the direction you want. I started off selling cell phone cases online. I have a survival food company and I teach people how to make money online now. I'm doing nothing like what I attempted to do in the beginning, which was sell cell phone cases. I failed. There was a failure at that. But was I? Look at all your failures, guys. They lead you to successes. That is the point. The point today is you're not gonna ever feel motivated until you have successes and you're never gonna have successes until you try difficult things. The fact, success is an offshoot of effort. Motivation is an offshoot of success, okay? Motivation never comes first. Never, never, never. Maybe every now and then, not very often. Let me read some of your comments. Let's see here. I love that. Oh, and I'm gonna tell you why I didn't shave. One second, I do want to tell you why I didn't shave. Hello, this is Tammy from Michigan. What's going on, Tammy? Just be happy. Oh, I love that. I love your name there. Let's see here. I love that illustration. Change my thinking every time I fail, I got paid. Exactly, and you do. It's not PS.  True, you motivated me and I started my own business after that day. I talked to you. Oh my God, Susie, that's awesome. That is so great to hear. Susie was my masseuse in San Diego and really just beautiful person. Let's see here. She says, I know dude, massage. Yes, I remember you. I remember you, great massage too. Susie Judd, point is you never know how you meet someone. I met you and talked to you and then started. Oh, Susie, it makes me feel so good. It really does. You have no idea. Tell people that. Share that story so that other people will try things, Susie, it means so much to me. Let's see, pivot and adapt. Tie in says that's right. Take action and reverse later. Yeah, if you need to reverse later, I don't wanna run over guys. So that's what I've got to say. That's what I've got to say about motivation. I hope you're motivated now, but not in the way you think you're gonna be. You may not feel like doing things, but now you understand that you need to do things to feel the motivation. Now you understand that success is gonna come after effort that you don't wanna do. Success is gonna come after effort that you don't wanna do. And motivation, well, that's gonna happen after you hit some of those successes for doing things that you don't wanna do. That's what it is. If you enjoyed this guys, do me a favor, leave me a comment.  I really do appreciate it. You know, I do a lot of these. Sometimes I have people show up. Sometimes I don't have people show up, but you guys have been an awesome crowd. Probably one of the best crowds I've had since I've done lives in years. You guys, the interaction, the honesty, seeing people that I've talked to and met become successful. That means so much to me. Really guys, it means the world to me. So go try things. Come back and tell me what happened. Did you fail? Did you succeed? Remember, we failed at renting a house. We failed at that. Failed miserably. Motivation is doing it when you don't want to. Well said. Thank you so much, Paul. That's exactly what it is. Excellent is all, excuse me. And thanks plenty of, well, wait, I can't read this one, huh? Plenty of notes, okay, good. My computer's really far away in that. And I normally have my iPad off to the side and somehow I didn't set that up today. And I can see the comments a whole lot better. I couldn't do it. When is the next live? I'm gonna do one this week during the week, Paul. And what I'll do is I'll post it on the channel, guys. And what you wanna do is subscribe to the channel, turn all the bell notifications. And when you turn on the bell notifications, when I schedule that, you're gonna get the notification also when I go live. What are you selling? Let's see here. Costa, I'm not selling anything today. I own several companies. I teach people how to make money online. I have courses after this is over with in the description. You'll see links to some of that. But I'm not selling you anything, guys. I'm trying to get you successful. And I'm getting stories like Susie here. Man, it means so very much to me. It really does. What a great session. Appreciated web solutions. Your back web solutions. James Breen, where have you been? You used to talk about growing a beard, but you haven't got around to it. Well, let me tell you why. The reason I am kind of half-shaven now is because I wanna be shaven tonight. We're gonna go out to dinner and I wanna look decent. And I know that if I shave this morning, in our dinner, get this, guys. My dinner's at nine o'clock at night. Nine o'clock at night. My wife went berserk. She's like, no, we eat at 5.30. We can't go. We just go. We just get to eat later. She's pretty adamant about that, but she was nice enough and we're gonna go. So that's cool. So I wanna shave later on for dinner. And James, I just got too hot with a beard, buddy. Just wore me out, but I'm so glad to see you back. James Breen is a, I don't wanna say he's an old timer. He's a cool timer.  And we really appreciate him. He always has kind things to say, but he also has really great insight because he's got some life experience. I love that. Can't wait to show you all the things I have set up once it's ready. I would love to see a tie-in if you need any advice and any help at all, let me know. And guys, I'm gonna try to go live probably Tuesday, if that works for you. If you have any other days during the week you think it would be good for you, put them in there. If you say, I want Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, maybe I'll do all of them. But I want your input. I want you to put something in there. I would really appreciate that. Guys, thank you so much for being here. You've been wonderful. You've been generous. I really appreciate all your input. I love seeing your successes. I hope you understand motivation better now. Thank you so much for being here. Love each and every one of you. I'll talk to you next time. If I can figure out how to turn it off one second.


Welcome to NTIA Nightly, I am General Norvel, this edition's top stories. The son of St. Lucia's First Chief Minister has been appointed to serve as head of state. Minister for Health Hon. Mozi Jabattis assesses the Castro's Wellness Centre and the youth heed the call to participate fully in the nation's economy. The son of St. Lucia's First Chief Minister has been appointed to serve as acting Governor-General On Thursday 11th November 2021, His Excellency Errol Charles was sworn in during a ceremony at Government House. Details in this report. Former Deputy to the Governor-General, His Excellency Cyril Errol Mel-Chiles Charles was officially sworn in as acting Governor-General at a small ceremony on Thursday. Governor-General of St. Lucia, His Excellency Sir Emanuel Neville Snack pursuant to Section 22, Subsection 1A of the Constitution of St. Lucia had appointed His Excellency Charles to serve as Deputy to the Governor-General for the period August 4th to 31st, 2021. His Excellency Charles at the ceremony was presented with the Royal Commission by Cabinet Secretary Benjamin Emanuel after which he took the oath of allegiance before her Ladyship Hon. Dame Janice Pereira, Chief Justice of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. I, Cyril Errol Mel-Chiles Charles, do swear that I will faithfully beg allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen in a little bit second her heirs and successes according to law. So help me God. I, Cyril Errol Mel-Chiles Charles, do swear that I will well and fully serve Her Majesty the Queen in a little bit second her heirs and successes in the office of Governor-General. So help me God. The newly sworn in acting Governor-General, His Excellency Charles expressing gratitude for the confidence placed in him pledged to serve with dignity and impartiality. Having accompanied my father at times on many of the marches and meetings that culminated in the catalytic movement, the beginning of the liberation of our people from colonial rule governed by democracy, it is up to now the constitutional right of every citizen of this country to determine the country's political direction every five years. Mindful therefore of the enormous struggles of my forebears to take us to where we are today I pledge to be loyal to the government and people of St. Lucia and reaffirm my services at all times with fairness and impartiality. Acting Governor-General, His Excellency Cyril Errol Mel-Chiles Charles has had a professional career in the public service spanning some 30 years where he served in various capacities. The longest being in that of tax professional at the Inland Revenue Department for over 25 years. The acting Governor-General has also been involved in the work and the contribution of the Lions Club in St. Lucia for over 20 years. From the Government Information Service, I am General Norvel. Minister for Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs Hon. Moses Jabatist is continuing to assess the healthcare system as he charts the way forward for the islands health sector. Hon. Jabatist recently visited the Castries Wellness Center for a first hand view of the aging facility. More from Homer de Mark. The Minister for Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs in a quest to visit all healthcare facilities around the island recently toured the Castries Wellness Center. Hon. Moses Jabatist indicated that the purpose of the tour was to gain a first hand understanding of the operations of the facility. This, he said, will empower the Government to make more informed policy decisions. For me it's important because you hear about the conditions and you hear about services but to come in and actually experience what our people go through is very important in public policy and it's very important because I want these experiences to drive and to feed what we do in cabinet, the decisions which we take and also the bills and the policies which we intend to follow. Hon. Moses Jabatist highlighted some challenges identified at the facility that serves a significant number of solutions. I recognize that there are some challenges. Some of the spaces are really small and the professionals seem to have to be squeezing in and out of spaces. That is a concern. Also I recognize that the Cuban eye clinic, the space for the Cuban eye clinic has been refurbished and there is some work to be done on the roof of this clinic. Clearly we need to do some cleaning. We cannot have a reputable Cuban eye clinic and on top of this clinic you have rotten wood and so on. We have to take care of that and I'm also concerned about the waiting area. I recognize that the professionals there have set up a working area and it is important especially in Covid times but we have to do something about the conditions there. So all in all I know that this place at one time the thought was to have this place in transition with OKU and Victoria Hospital and so on but now we have to think about the conditions here to make things as comfortable as possible for our people and for the staff and the professionals. The minister indicated that the government will be working to improve the conditions of the Casteries Wellness Centre. From the Government Information Service, Hermione Mark reporting. The Department of Infrastructure, Ports and Transport led by Senior Minister Hon. Stevenson King has donated supplies to the public transport sector to assist in the fight against the coronavirus. Communications Officer Miguel Fabrié has the details. The public transportation sector stands among those more severely impacted by the ravages of the coronavirus pandemic. As a result of the Government of St. Lucia's Covid Control and Prevention protocols, minibus operators on island have for the better part of two years been operating with a smaller complement of passengers, a significant revenue shortfall being the immediate outcome. Among governments many endeavours at easing the squeeze on the transport sector was a donation of sanitary supplies to the National Council on Public Transportation on Wednesday, November 10. The presentation was made by Senior Minister with responsibility for infrastructure, ports, transport, physical development and urban renewal Hon. Stevenson King. The Senior Minister noted the importance of the sector to St. Lucia's social and economic development. For the last two years or so, what we have seen is a sector that has been on the tremendous strain and stress as many other sectors. But for the public transportation in particular, it is a sector that provides services to the entire country and without that sector, without that service, probably the country can be paralyzed at any given time. And therefore it is in our interest as a people, as a government to ensure that while we battle with Covid-19 and we attempt to instill the protocols that have been established, that some of the champions in that regard to ensure that the protocols are maintained, sustained, really and truly is the operators and the sector of public transportation. The Senior Minister touted the quote, excellent relationship fostered between the Department of Transport and the NCOPT since he assumed responsibility for the department. To date, the department and the council have both agreed to collaborate in order to tackle numerous areas of concern in the best interests of both the community and the minibus operators for a more reliable and safe transportation system. The November 10th donation comprised 150 cases plus 200 boxes of disposable face masks, 40 hand sanitizer dispensers, 64 thermometers and 15 gallons of hand sanitizer. It seemed to be small but it's a big initiative in that it will cover quite a number of individuals and certainly help in our drive, our mission of attempting to bring under control the pandemic here in St. Lucia Covid-19. I am hoping that this, in addition to other initiatives and other decisions of the government, will help continue to build and strengthen the relationship between the council and the ministry and that we can continue to engage in the necessary dialogue that will strengthen also the lot of minibus operators there in St. Lucia to give them a greater guarantee of their efforts in the provision of public transportation. The government of St. Lucia is in the process of finalizing the fulfilment of its commitment to provide Covid relief in excess of $1 million to minibus operators. President Godfrey Fudanand accepted the donation on behalf of the National Council on Public Transportation. It looks small but it will do great things for us. Each driver will receive 50 masks, each of them that will serve them for 50 days which is saving them some money from buying their own masks and that is good for the sector. So I want to thank the minister for his approach and method of operation since he's been president of, should I say minister of transport, sorry about that, minister of transport. He has extended a warm, open door policy to us as well as the PS and we are grateful for that. Our discussions have been very enlightening and encouraging to know that we will be able to achieve so much and like he made reference to, the payment, the Covid payment is soon going to be given to the operators. The handover was made during a small ceremony at the conference room of the Department of Infrastructure, Ports and Transport. Reporting for the Ministry of Infrastructure, Ports, Transport, Physical Development and Urban Renewal, I am Miguel Fabri. An SA competition which challenged young inclusions between the ages of 15 and 30 years to make suggestions to help improve the local economic situation and build a more diversified economy has come to a successful end with a prize-giving ceremony held recently at the office of the Ministry of Education. Chris Satney picks up that story. The SA competition which was organized by the Saint Lucian Analyzer, a group of young Saint Lucians living overseas drew participation from several young minds attempting to solve the island's economic woes through careful research and analysis with a view to presenting proposals that would help raise the standard of living of all Saint Lucians. The organizers have received the commendation of Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology and Vocational Training, Senator Honorable Dr. Pauline Antoine Prosper for their foresight in putting the island's youth at the forefront of solving the country's fiscal issues. Our Saint Lucian young men who as much as they live overseas have shown an interest in the development of youth in Saint Lucian. You must be applauded for your efforts, for your writing, for your engagement with the youth. We are so very pleased. I wish all the young men who had traveled overseas would have joined with you to engage our youth because our youth is the future of our country. And I do not have enough words to thank you for organizing this SA competition. Participants wrote pieces of 500 to 800 words on varying topics including the cannabis decriminalization, the retraining of the Saint Lucian workforce, as well as the use of robotics amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. In the end, Lincoln Francis won the top prize of $1,000 while Chelsea Dilsack was awarded second place and $600 and sedan Hadid received third place and $400. Top prize winner Lincoln Francis thinks the way forward for the country in dealing with its fiscal challenges is to invest in the digitization of business and many other traditional processes. And I see COVID-19 as a really something like a... I wouldn't want to use the term great recess because I know there's a lot of baggage to it but it has presented the opportunity for change. And I think that we can still ride that wave as Saint Lucian in changing and doing things differently in terms of education, in terms of businesses. So I really do think that COVID-19 as much as it has cost lives has really presented a catalyst for change. The Ministry of Education facilitated the judging aspects of the competition and a presentation of prizes on behalf of the Saint Lucian Analyzer. Acting Chief Education Officer Cyrus Sepal says, competitions of this nature have in developing critical and analytical thinking among Saint Lucian youth in becoming champions for change and for solving the problems of their generation. Not persons who will just simply develop a knowledge or to have content-based knowledge. I'm sure now you have been participated in this competition where you're able to come up with that piece. I'm sure it was not just simply you go on the internet, copy and paste and put it there. You're able to critically analyze the situation and use your skills, both in terms of the language and other areas to bring together a piece that now that you've been awarded. Organizers are said to be looking forward to continuing the essay competition with the rollout of a 2022 component on another challenging topic aimed at developing the youth and the country in general. From the Communications Unit of the Ministry of Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology and Vocational Training, I am Chris Satney reporting. The Ministry of Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology and Vocational Training has informed that King Degaton Registration for the academic year 2022-2023 for schools in the Castries Basin will be available online at kregistration.education.gov.lc. Registration is open from November 10 to December 20, 2021. Dr. Claudia Louise, the Chief Planning Officer in the Ministry of Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology and Vocational Training. Every year we register students, five-year-olds in schools. We organize for schools in the Castries District, which these include the Castries Anglican Infant, the Vibhutay Primary, Central Oasis RC Boys Infant, the Ave Maria Girls Infant, Camille Henry Memorial, Carmen René Memorial, Gordon and Walcott Memorial Methodist and the Mondador Primary School. So students who were born in the year 2017, that's anywhere from January to December of 2017 and where the parents either live or work in the Castries Area and they're desirous of registering their children. At these schools, we have an online portal and that portal can be accessed at kregistration.education.gov.lc. Upon registration, all applicants will be required to select a first, second and third option in the event that their School of Choice is oversubscribed. The chief planning officer indicated that the registration process has been enhanced to allow for a more seamless experience for parents and guardians. The documents include the child's birth certificate, the immunization certificate or health card with the completed three-and-a-half year or five-year development, also a passport size photo or just to make it easier, just use a cell phone and take a snapshot of the child's headshot and upload that as well. If parents are using the residence criteria, we would need something to authenticate that they reside in the area. So we would need something like a utility bill on their name or if you are renting, you would need some kind of letter or lease agreement from your landlord. If you want to apply for a school place based on where you work, then you would need a job letter. We don't need any financial information or what position. We just need to prove that you actually work in that area. So these are the documents. For households without internet access, alternative provisions will be made to assist parents and guardians. You can call 468-3221 or 468-5259 or WhatsApp 720-3252 for further information or assistance. This is Andrea Knight Lee. Primus Hutchinson is up next. Stay with us. Welcome back.

Welcome folks, we have the Dow Industries trading up $63, Nasdaq up $7, S&Ps flat, Gold. Gold contract down $5.90, trading at $16.80 an ounce. We have Silver down $0.49, $18.99 an ounce, late-sweet crude up $2.09 pennies at $87.25 notes and bonds. You get the 10-year note trading up $11.00 ticks at $11.15, the 30-year up $16 at $125.05 and $Kingdoll, $Kingdoll is up $113.00 ticks, $113.37, the euro is at $96.00, the yen is trading out here at $146.00 and the British pound is at $110.00 to $1.00 USD. We get over and take a look at the markets, yeah, we go from the Fed Minutes folks and the PPI this morning to, guess what, the CPI tomorrow and the markets are just going to lay here. So, it looks like you're going to get another contraction, alright, yesterday we did $92 million on the spy, you're not going to do that today. We had a low yesterday that was established out there at $355.00, we got the $356.30 bottom line, you know, it has to hold price and it's not holding price either, it has light volume but it's not holding price. We go into the NDX100, the three queues, same type of setup, you know, they're at $0.34 right now, you've done 39 million shares, but these both, you know, they need juice, that's the bottom line. $269 will be the number that the queues got to get inside to get some juice going, so let's get over to the dollar because the dollar, bottom line, you know, going back and forth out here today hasn't had much movement and, you know, you're coming into the initial downdraft, the downdraft, that's when we came off the top at $114.00 to $112.00, if we do go over to the bonds, the bonds look to me like they're going to pop, meaning, you know, they want to go higher on the counter trend balance, if the bonds go higher, the dollar's going to go lower and bottom line, the market would have a little breathing room out here.  So, what I expect we're going to see is that, once again, you're going to basically wait for the CPI tomorrow morning, that's how this is shaking out. Dow up 56, Nasdaq up four, S&P's down two and a half, come right back.
