Okay, so we created a custom conversion for the add to cart, which we created a custom conversion for the presentation. That's the landing, the thank you page, you know, as they opt in, they go to that presentation page and then, and then your third most important metric is your custom conversion for the customers. So as a person purchases enters their credit card information and then goes to your next page as a confirmation, that is a custom conversion as a custom conversion and it and we need to set it up as a custom audience. So we'll check the audience here shortly. So if they've, if they've already purchased, what do we want? Why do we want to capture that or have that as an audience? Very good question. The reason for it is so you can exclude them from future ads. Gotcha. Okay. Okay. So that's the most important reason to tell you the truth and to be able to track the metric. That's what this is doing. So we're setting up a custom conversion so we could track the metric and so we can run Facebook ads specifically for people who are likely to purchase. So as you continue to run your Facebook ads, as you continue to build your pixel and all this and all this data, the pixel is lining on all these different pages within your website, that pixel is grabbing all this data. What you'll eventually start doing is you'll start running conversion ads to your custom audiences, but your lookalike custom audiences around people who purchased. So that's why this custom conversion, because, because as we start to get really good at this and start running more conversion ads, we're going to also optimize for this. So we have to tell Facebook about this page. We want to, we want to run ads to find people who are likely to land on this page. We also want to run ads to find people who are likely to land on the presentation page. Those are the only two objectives. So as we run these ads of 25 bucks a day, dude, that's my number one objective is to get people to this presentation page or to get people to this. Thank you for purchasing page. And that's what you tell Facebook. That's what this is all about. So, so is that a correct name? Perfect. You want, and you want to keep everything matching like SWS ATC, SWS presentation, SWS course purchase. Perfect. And then, and then leave that all your own traffic. Click the drop down, select your category. Go select your category, the above, and then, and then look for purchase. So now we're going to tag this under, under purchases. So when we look at our metrics on that dashboard, we can, we can see this metric right here, purchase, purchase, bam, and then put a value. Go to, yeah, paste that link in right there. And then, and then, yeah, hit the drop down and then go and enter a value, enter a consecutive, a conversion value. What's the value? $99, $97. Yeah. Yeah, enter that. Okay, cool. So you're good. So, so now you still have that link copied. Now let's also go set up a custom audience, which I think we did, but let's just double check, click the dots and then audiences. So that's how you set up a custom conversion. Super, super important when running conversion ads specifically. So right here, presentation opt-in, website visitors. Wow, we don't have a, we don't have a customer audience. That's crazy. That's like the first audience I would always set up. I don't know why I didn't tell you to do that the time we did these ones. Yeah, man. Oh, that's a major one. So go to custom audience. Yep. And then do the same thing. So now the audience, the audience is so we can then exclude. I either am going to create an audience around those who land on my website, just the landing page, which is what we did on the last call, right? That's your other audience. And I'm going to include those. So if those people are landing on my page, they're seeing my ads every week. They're clicking learn more. They're coming on my website, my landing page, but they're not opt-in in. As I mentioned on our other call, that's an audience you'll continue to retarget. But in this case, these are customers. So we're going to go website and we're going to specifically name this one customers and in this case, when it's a, when it's a customer or when it's a lead, they go, they get to the presentation page. They opt-in. Those are two lists, those are two audiences that you'll always exclude. In case you just remember that, you'll always exclude this audience from your ads. Go to, and you could take the 30, take it to 180. And then just go all website visitors, hit that dropdown and go to specific people visit specific web pages and then just paste in. Okay. Yeah. And then paste in that link and then just name the audience. That's SWC customers or students or whatever you want to name it. SWS customers, course customers, perfect, course students, whatever. Perfect. So now, man, now you can, now you can, and again, that's, that's an obvious audience to always exclude if you keep running ads regarding the same course, right? You want to exclude those. And then let's say you drop another product. That these, this specific audience is so important for when you also include in future ads. Let's say you come out with new products, man. This is your audience. Yeah. So that's powerful, man. Not only do you have an email list of people that bought. Yeah. That's, that's okay. That's cool. But the fact that I actually have them in an audience and I can target them on Facebook, that's cool too. Right.  So, Hey guys, thank you for being such a great customer. Hey, guess what? We have a new promotion. We have a new product rolling out. You won't believe what Steve's up to these days, right? Like you, you can target that audience and that's powerful, man. Customers, you know, so here you're, so you're done, right? You're done. And this, okay. So here's, here's where, let's go back, go back. Oh, let's see if you can go back. See if you can go back to that page. Just hit the, yeah. See if you, okay. So long term when you scale, let me see if it took us back. Okay. Perfect. Right there in the middle. You don't got to do it now, but create a lookalike, right? What it lookalike audiences. Yeah. I mean, it's an audience that, that looks like data wise, uh, of, of people that I've either sold to or that I'm looking for. After a couple months, you'll be running ads to just your lookalike audiences. So as you go and set up a Facebook ad and this, I'm talking like, like 90 days from now. Uh-huh. That pixel will be so used where that pixel, the data on it is amazing. It knows your customer. It knows the type of people that are landing on your page. It has all the data, right? Your whole object, your whole, your whole strategy is to then only run ads, conversion ads to lookalike audiences of your customers or, or not, not, or it's and, and lookalike audiences. Lookalike audiences around your, um, around your presentation. So the opt-ins, the leads, right? That custom audience that you have right there, which is presentation opt-in leads in a few months, you'll have a lot of data on that pixel, um, on that page, which would allow you to create a lookalike audience. And that's where you scale to the moon.  You retarget a lookalike audience and, and Facebook's algorithm and their machine takes over from there because they already know your exact client. So they go out and search and find more. Yeah. Right. Like now, right here, you're, you're, you're opening up your business and targeting a cold market.  But after a while and, and, and as that pixel gets more data from people that are landing on these pages, you're then able to create a lookalike audience. And that's when Facebook, the dams break loose. You know what I mean? Like it's like a flood gate of, of that's where people scale. So that's when, you know, especially people that I follow that have these, these digital courses where they sell them for 1500, 2000. And that's how they're taking, you know, a couple of million a year in revenue to 50, 60, 70 million a year, you know, because of, of the traffic that can come through Facebook lookalike audiences. But that's down the line. But that's, that's just major potential for you guys, man. Okay. Major, you guys, yeah. So as I'm, as I'm working on this next video, and like I said, it'll probably take him till Monday to get the, to actually film it. So I'm going to, I'll do the script over the weekend. It'll take me two or three days to edit. So if I turn off, so how do I turn off that ad? And then how would I, I guess what I'll do is I'll, I'll turn it off. I'll schedule next mid to late next week with you. And by then, hopefully I'll have that, that video done so that we can start a new ad, right? As opposed to turning back on this ad. Yes. And you'll take the data. Like for example, you'll, you'll, you'll now have an audience. Yeah. You'll be able to retarget those who, in fact, set up that audience real quick right now, or did you, you actually already did. Right. You have an audience building of those who are watching that video. Yeah. But now we have a, yeah, but we switched the video. So I also switched the time because now instead of a 20 minute video, they're watching a four and a half minute video again. No, but what about the actual ad? The one that's running right now, that video is getting, it's getting a ton of views, right? Well, I mean, I would think it's on where, where do you, so I would go to get out of here. Just go to Facebook, go back to the ad manager and just click on the dots and go to the ads manager. Yeah, perfect. So hit the drop down, the Ron Fleck, hit that drop down your name and just go to the other account. OK, so and then click on, just go to check the box and then click on the, the click on, click on the ads for, click on the third tab because let's go to the actual, let's go to the actual video, click on. OK, click on the edit right below default name. Yeah, edit and then click on that, that drop down. You see one placement and then to the right, there's that square that drop down. So am I looking at the middle of the page? No, to the very right, to the very, very right. There's that drop down. Yeah, right there. Perfect. And then scroll down to so question. If I, if I let's say I wanted to keep this video running, but I wanted to change the ad, can you just come in here and do that? Or does it mess up the whole ad? Well, you wouldn't be able to change it because it's it's placed on your business page. So it's a post. Give me one second. You know, you're just scrolling through and then, boom, you'll see the sponsored ad.  Click on and it's not even a it's not even an engagement ad, which is pretty cool. Forty three shares and it's not even an engagement ad. Normally with an engagement ad, you get that. You'll get like you'll get like hundreds of shares and even hundreds of comments depending on obviously how long you're running it for. But at 25 bucks a day, that's a lot. Like that's, you know, I see I see got 116 here. Yeah, take a green shot of this for. Or later. Yeah, so. That's good. But see, even the shares, the comments, the engagement, that doesn't even matter. Like it doesn't matter because first of all, we're not paying for that. We're paying for conversions. We're paying for people to click learn more, right? But again, that's a post that's on the business page. So it can no longer be changed. Once it's here, it's here.   And yeah, just shut it off and start a new ad. So I think what I'd like to do is turn this off until I get that video. Let's go to the ads manager. So go back to the dots and just click on. You click it from there as manager. And what I always do is I always make sure each each blue is shaded gray. Like you can shade that blue to gray right here on the first tab campaign. And the whole thing is off. But what I like to do just for the eye, I mean, it's just a personal thing. But I shade them all gray. So right there, the do the first one. The campaigns just go from left to right. You mean like start in the campaign tab. But I guess. And do them all. No, just shade that one and then click on. Yeah, click on ad sets. The second tab and then shade that one to gray. You don't have to check the box. Just shade it to gray and then and then do the third tab and shade all those two to gray. That's how you properly turn off an ad. Not everyone does it that way. OK, so you fully turned it off. Now, if we didn't do anything different, can you just go in here and turn it back on the same way you turned it off? Not really, man. Like you can. You for sure can. But I I've just learned not to. And I've learned from other people, you know, not to. And I've also done that myself on ads. And then for some reason, the ad, it slows down or the cost per result will will increase. OK, like all of a sudden, like, yeah, that's why once the ad is on, don't touch it like don't touch it like. So do you do you delete the ad or do you save it just for data purposes? Or yeah, you could totally save everything here. Let let everything stack. Just make sure everything's turned off the proper way with on on each tab. Right. All blues to gray. And after that, just you'll just have and that is that's why the reason why I do all that is so I can have a clean dashboard. So when I come here and I see blue, those are ads that are automatically on like just it just registers fast. It's all color coordination, right?  It's just easier for the eye in my personal opinion. But but that's how you turn it off and then just start up a new one. And then as you start to really take off, you know which ones are on all the blues and it's only really just a few. Because the other ones you're turning off and you're testing different ones. So it looks like you're converting, man. You are converting. You're just not converting on the page on the presentation. You know, but these numbers are exciting, man. This actually really excites me. And that's why like once you do, I know you're going to take that price up. Once you do, if you look at how much you spent for all of that, let's say you take the price point to just simply four ninety seven.  Like that many leads like like think like once you start selling your your course at four ninety seven, it's going to take you one deal to even turn a profit from where you're at right now, which right now it looks ugly, right? But that's why that higher price point on a digital course. It's so important and it's something you have to be knowing. You have to be thinking that for the long term. It's not always going to be ninety seven bucks. It's too much. This is too good to keep it at that price. You know, but but but all I'm trying to get you to see is the fact that when you spend, it's like, man, you just need a few to make it back. That's the beauty. So in Cartra, I've not spent a lot of time going through all my analytics and everything, but if I go to I just want to see what that. So we've ran this for the last eight days. OK, so I should be able to go into just see what my sales have been on this product for the last eight days. Mm hmm. Is that it right here? Those two right there or is it three? I had two yesterday that showed up. I wonder why I didn't show up in here. And and do you and do you know if that, see, because we didn't have a custom? Well, actually, it should still stay in results. Do you know if those came from the ads? No, you don't know. I'm guessing they are because it's ninety seven. Everything we've done prior, we've been selling it for forty nine ninety five. Are you kidding me, Ron? No, dude, we should be celebrating right now. You got two freaking cells this week from this campaign. Well, I thought I had four because are you kidding me? That's freaking exciting. How can we text me those good news? I'm over here thinking you're still kind of excuse my language, but it shouldn't break. So I'm thinking you're still worried about these ads or your page or whatever. You made four cells this week from this. Well, this is showing me two. But but even two. But when it comes in, you know, I get the email from Cartra. Mm hmm. I got to just. Yesterday alone and one this morning. So I don't know it should show up. You can you can go to analytics at the top. You can go to analytics and you can go to sales. So so the last let's just say the last week or go the last seven days. So it's showing two sales here. Dude, even two cells, man. Yeah, like. That's why I mean, it's and I think that that's from, you know, who knows if it's someone that got in the funnel and and, you know, looked at one of like maybe they got our second email and decided, you know, we don't know where that came from. Well, the only way they're getting an email is if they're often often into a specific form and the only form that's out is that form and that's at ninety seven dollars, right? So it's like, yeah, those came in from your ads. No, I know these two came in from the ad because everything else that we've done, we've got a promo code. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And wow, man. So the other two, what makes you think those other two are part of this? Oh, two other sales. Yeah. What did you. Well, just because, you know, when I get a sale, Stripe sends me an email. Yeah, yeah. And I thought I got a couple of different ones. Gotcha. OK, here's one from Stripe. That was yesterday. How much is that? Is that for ninety seven? Ninety three eighty nine. Yes, that's after they take out. And then there was one on Wednesday for the same amount. Yeah. OK, what about the other two? And then then there I got one on Wednesday from Stripe. Is that it? It's a ninety seven dollar. So I think that number two, number three. I don't know. It's just a different email. So I think what happens is I get two emails from Stripe, one saying payment of ninety seven, and then they send another one saying this much is on your way, right? Gotcha, gotcha. Well, I get one so we're getting sales from that ad. I mean, it's not been a. You know, that's amazing, man. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. If you had shut off maybe the other three, maybe a day earlier, then that budget would have been even less. And you would probably be breaking even at this point. And that's freaking one week, man. That's one week tapping into a cold market. That's something to be excited about. Once you start building these custom audiences and really flex in that pixel, that's when it gets really crazy. That's when that's when, yeah, that's when your sales increase and when you're retargeting. So when that pixel gets data and you're retargeting these audiences and now people are seeing you multiple times. Man, if you're converting cold traffic like that, that that that means just pour it on, pour it on, pour it on. So you guys need weekly videos for sure, man. Well, yeah. So if we have these weekly videos, would the weekly videos take the place of that four and a half minute video? Is that where these weekly videos, they go in the ad? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The weekly video is the ad. Okay. Is the Facebook ad. And the whole objective is to get them to click learn more to opt in. Okay. That's it. So there is a there is a video that I think would work. And that is one that I called. It's I started to show it to you last last time. It's where I it's winter outside.  About how he gardens there. Yeah. And that one was kind of blotchy on us. But at the end, he makes a really good appeal. He shows this massive sunflower microgreen. Yeah. And I think and that one's already done. It's to music. It's about two minutes, two and a half minutes. We could set that up as an ad in the text of the ad. Just make sure you write, you know, and click learn more for more information or click learn more to, you know, to attend our free workshop. That's what I would call it, man. I would call it a workshop. But see, we really don't have a workshop. The presentation is a workshop. The presentation is a case study. It's a workshop.  That's what it is. But but at the same time, I know you can put a twist to it. You guys are in the gardening space. You know, like you're you're attracting that type of person, a workshop. I'd love to attend a workshop on gardening. Heck, yeah, I love that type of stuff. I'd love to attend a workshop and a workshop. What is a workshop seminar? What's the workshop of presentation? I'm just I'm just thinking out loud. Yeah. You know. So so I could take the ad right now that's running as the ad or the video that's running as an ad. Well, it's already on the presentation page, because right now our ad was running the same video for the ad as the presentation page. Remember, we switched that. So we could run an ad with Steve doing the, you know, the winter gardening video is what I call it. That could be the video ad taking us taking them, you know, through the funnel to the presentation page, which has the four minute really nice edited video. So that's actually something that that we could do. You totally can. And as long as you're verbally, you know, Steve is verbally telling them to click learn more, he's either he's either going to do that at the end of the video. That's the call to action. So as you guys, as he says his, you know, goodbyes at the end of the video, that's the call to action is to click learn more. So that's so all I was saying is that if you don't have that verbally in the video, then you'd have to write it in the text. Yeah, in the video. So do do people not get it? I mean, most people know they do get it, but you really do need to have a call. I think he said, you know, go to sproutingwithsteve.com or click below or something. But I don't at that time, we weren't doing Facebook. So yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, or it's no big deal. Like run that one. Yeah, it's no big deal. Run it and then just from, you know, from this point on, just make sure that that's at the end of every video, which brings me to my real ultimate point is that I truly believe, man, anything you're going to put out is good. Anything, anything, man, you have to know that. Don't try to spend too much time creating. Like don't think you have to write a script. You don't like Steve. Steve needs to literally pull out his cell phone and give us a random shot of him in the kitchen sprouting. And at the end of that video that he shoot on his cell phone. Hey guys, and by the way, we put together a workshop presentation where I go deep into what this is all about. I'd love for you to attend. Click learn more. It'll take you straight to our registration page where you can view our four minute presentation. See you guys there. Yeah, that is so powerful at the end of the video. And that's what I'm saying as you guys just live your life as he just lives his life and built his business. Those one off shots on your cell phone are all it takes. And it's so simple for you to do when you put on the document hat versus put trying to put on the creative hat. Yeah, like you got like a lot of people trying to put on the creative cap. Creative. What is this Hollywood? Like I'm not a no director. Like what do you mean creative? Like I don't got time. All I can do is document and that right there is social media. Social media is that is that that's why that video is so powerful of him. You know, or you record in the window top and the outside. Your hand is shaken. You know what I mean? Like that realness is what people gravitate to. It's not the green screen. It's not anything creative. So what we could do then with this video is when we get towards the end where he's talking about this is the website and everything prior to that. I could find a spot just to fade out. Yeah. Yeah. And what I'll do is I'll have him shoot himself with his phone phone. So it's quick, no green screen and just say, you know, come in and say, hey, that was I shot that a few months ago at summer and things are really cooking and blah, blah, blah. And then he can do the learn more for our and, you know, to register for our our short presentation to give you everything you need to know about sprouting. That's it, man. That's it. That's it. OK, I'm going to add him doing that to this video, which he doesn't do it on because we weren't thinking Facebook at that time. Do that. Have him put on the same poncho and say, hey, man, give me give me give me 10 seconds. That's a 10 second pitch at the end. Yeah. You know what I mean? So, so, yeah, that should be at the end. And again, if it wasn't in the end, then you would write in the text. That's why I was well, it it makes it nicer when he does the call. Yes, man. That's what it's all about. Every piece. That's what I'm trying to tell you also is that every video that you guys put out from this point forward, I don't care if it's not an ad. Every video, man, every video needs to have a call to action to the landing page. No more sprouting with Steve dot com. That's our landing page.  I need them all going through the presentation page. That's the only link we promote. Yeah, that's the only call to action in every single video from this point on. All traffic goes to this landing page. You know what I mean? That would be powerful. That that that's when it's really game time. That's when you actually have a what's the word I'm looking for? That's when you actually find your path where everything now funnels in. I truly believe most people are scattered brain. We're over here, scattered, we're scattered. Most don't have that legitimate offer and that one piece of bait. That's your bait. Your bait is a presentation page. Yeah, I'm telling you, man, that that would capture so many leads. And then the email, that's where you nurture the lead and you get them to buy more on the back end. You know, I think both those sales came as a result of the of the emails. And I don't don't know how we know that for sure. But it just seems like, well, you can you could click on each cell. You can click on each lead and you can go go to Carter, man. Let's see and see where they you should know this stuff. You don't know this stuff. Listen, this is I'm not a full cartridge. I'm not a cartridge. Not yet. OK, you're I'm going to graduate. When I started working in here, I barely knew how to log in here. I thought you were a pro the day I spoke to you. I'm like, oh, this has been I've learned all this just by fiddling. Good man.  So what do we what do we want to go to go to go to? I mean, let's let's go to those cells. So if anything, go to the list, go to go to my communications.  Let's look for a customer list. Where's the customer list? So the sprouting with Steve members should be. Yeah. And the last lady was named Mary. OK, let's look for Mary. Which I don't know these aren't necessarily like last one first, are they? I think it is, man. I want to say it is. I've noticed that it is as the last person that signed up as far as this is concerned. Was I think her name was Mary. Awesome. So click on click on. OK, so click on her name, click on her name. And then go into log, click on log. And then this right here will show you every everything she visited. Welcome video. So she's so does this mean she she had a band and cart and she came back later, maybe that was August 12th. That was because she purchased it. So she went to the overview. Quite a few times. See, we're actually that's. Welcome video, welcome video. See if she anyway. Transaction, go to transactions. So she bought at price point three two days ago. So that's the new price. So, yes, I mean, she came in, whether she came in right away or through the sequence. She's there. There are two sales because we've not run anything at ninety seven dollars.  It's game time. It's game time. Now she's going to come down to a weekly, weekly ad, a weekly ad. We need a new video. That's what that's why I truly believe in the documentation document, little parts of your day, turn it into a freaking ad. It's so simple. Anything, the day in the life, that's what people love on social media. It's the realness, the day in the life. If he's if he's sprouting all day like like I thought, like I'm assuming he is. I don't know. I'm just assuming he is. I'm I'm assuming he's in that garden more than you. If he is a footage all day, that's that's that's non like that's like. Yeah, all you can have footage. Yeah, no, there's no shortage of there's no shortage. So so what I'm going to do is I'm going to take that winter video. I'm going to spruce it up a little bit. So it's a little bit quicker to the to get to what he's talking about. And then I'm going to have him film an ending. That second call to action to register for our present. Yeah, or our our short dissertation on sprouting. And that will be the video for the next ad. And when they go to the landing or to the presentation page, it'll be that four and a half minute video where he talks about the benefits of sprouting, talks about the course. And then, you know, then that's there's a call to action there. So awesome.  Go to the the the the opt-ins, like is it the top one, 10 minute presentation? This is the one right here. See the top 10. Yeah, top 10. The hundred twenty eight now. Hundred twenty eight. Come on, Pastor. Come on, bro. Come on. Come on. Out of out of what for something spent. We're up like seven, I think, aren't we? No, dude, no. I thought I saw. Where would I see the like the click on? Uncheck that one selected the blue to the right in the ads in the third tab. Yeah, uncheck that one. And then go back to the to the first tab campaigns. The first tab. Yeah, that one. And then uncheck that box. So total spent four eighty six. Is that just on that ad? Yeah. Well, yeah, that's all you have here. So what about when I was running three? I was running four ads. Yeah, that's all part of that. Are you sure? Yeah, it's all part of that. So that's the amount spent in this from the first to the fourteenth. So we spent four eighty six. We brought in basically two hundred. So for two eighty six, we've just purchased. Now, what is this one forty here? The results that should be that should be the registration. So how many people actually landed on the presentation page? So the results are leads. You should have one hundred and forty leads. Then why on here if this is the form? Yeah, that's the form. So there's one twenty eight. Is that one? Yeah, one twenty. So that would mean that that the difference of one forty and this twelve or so they got to the page, but they didn't actually fill it out. Maybe no, no, because the result it's counting based on landing on a specific page. But they can't get to that present SWS presentation page unless they fill out that form. Exactly. So this number this number should not be higher than that number. For whatever reason. Yeah, so there's a difference of a few leads right there. OK, so basically this this is a result of our last ad. One hundred and twenty eight leads. Yes. And we and it cost us two hundred and eighty six dollars to get those. Yes. So that's where your back end, your emailing needs to be tight. Yeah, that's that's why. Because there's a hundred and twenty eight people that are that are on the yes and no side right now. They're literally on the yes and no side. So my yes and no emails better be on point. So I wonder if I can catch a few from there that there's your profit. I wonder if I should maybe may well, I understand the yes and the no. But I think I'm thinking that more people should be getting into my yes column that I think that because, you know, we change the video, right? And instead of having to watch it for 18 minutes to get into the yes column, we change the video and I think we change that that time. You know, of of let's just see here. Yeah, go to go to my videos and then just. Well, the sequence, I just want to see. So is this where you set the rule up here? No, you said. Oh, yeah, they're both rules, but the split, look at the split. The splits based on the tag. So basically they would have to watch that whole four minutes in order to get into this true column. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. I would almost like everybody who comes in and doesn't buy to get. Yeah, I know these over here are telling people to jump back over here. Go and watch it. Let's see. I mean, if I if I if I opted in and watched one minute of something and didn't hear the offer because the offer is not coming to the end. Yeah, middle to end. So if I don't stay there or if I don't reach that point, but all of a sudden I'm getting emails on buying, you know, I mean, how many can I where can I tell how many are in this in a sequence here? That's a good question, man. I was thinking the same thing. Like I'm what are these are these this this came over with your. Yeah, it's not the number. That's not that that number is not that. Like I know there has to be a way. I would think there's a way. That's a cartridge support question. Yeah, because I don't know the answer to that one, but that's an answer I need to know. I'd like to know it. Yeah, it would be nice to see like who's in this column and where they're at. I would totally think think you can. I would tell what's that bottom one at the bottom that wasn't activated. Well, I. I skipped from the eight reasons. Mm hmm. People don't grow sprouts. So that's the. One, two, three, the fourth one. And I didn't have anything here. I don't have, you know, we're not doing the timer on this. And so I wasn't. Delete it. If anything, delete it and then just. Yeah, you could delete that one and then just leave it leave it as is. And you can hit that the condenser thing at that button at the top to, you know, condense it to bring it all together. Like this. No, it's a very, no. Well, yeah, you could do that, but that. Yeah, I got nothing. The, like if you go to the very, very top. Of the screen right there to the left, to the left, that one. Yeah, hit that one, arrange icon. So just brings it tightens it up. That's all. Okay. So yeah, I what I want to do also with with my partner Steve is. He's very, very, very savvy when it comes to scripts because he's a writer. He just finished a book. He's been working a month and a half on. Gotcha. And so. I want him to go through this with me and basically. I'm really seeing that this is where the money's going to be is in the followup. Well, even if you look at the just bait, even if you just do basic math and look at the basic numbers, like. If those 128 are in here somewhere.  Like if I could just convert 1%, like what is that? What's 1%? What's another sale at least right now? At least that's another sale, right? And that's 1%. So that would allow you to at least almost break even, but then, but then at the same time, you have to look at that as, as a cost of my leads. Now these 128, I'm going to, as long as I can bring value. I'm going to continue to nurture that list. And I'm going to have different products that I'm going to be offering them. Yeah. That's how you guys need to be thinking, you know, this is the front entry product, but what else do we have on the back? Like what else can we put out? Can we put together another, another digital product and maybe sell that one for 57 to this existing list of 128 is interested in what we're doing. Yeah. Right. Like that's where you really email automation is going to be your best friend. Yeah. You know, like, yeah, like that. That's so powerful, man. And then, and then taking people to another presentation, getting them to, getting them to purchase something else, you know, along these lines, that's when you have emails going out every day and making sales every day on different products that you guys have. Yeah. Not just one, you know. Well, we've already made a few hundred dollars just because everybody that comes into our course, we recommend a certain supplier. Amazing. We're on a 12, 12% commission with them. Cool. So, you know, everybody's buying their, their product and. Mm hmm. I mean, that's not a product of our own, but I, I, we've talked about some different things. You know, splitting up the sprouting and the, the microgreen. Right. Cause they're kind of two different courses in one. So there's, there's things that we can do. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. I don't even know what microgreen. So the first, like in our course, the first five of the first three or four tabs are all sprouts. So sprouts are basically when you grow the seed to where it sprouts. Mm hmm. If you then take that and, and if you were to grow it to where it now starts to get green and gets a little blossom, that's called a microgreen. So that would be like what you would see on your salads on, in high end restaurants, they put those microgreens as garnish, maybe on an omelet. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. They're the most nutritious part of the plant's life is in the microgreen and sprout stage. I believe that. Oh, that's a microgreen, a microgreen broccoli sprout, which only takes about six days to grow is 10 times as healthy and nutritious as a full grown head of broccoli, which, you know, when your kids eat broccoli, it's usually a couple of bites of the part of it. They never eat a whole head. So imagine 10 times the nutrition of a whole head in a, in a sprout that's actually pretty nummy. I mean kids snack on them and grab them and chew them. It doesn't taste like. I need that course, pastor. I need that course, man. I want to learn that. So which, which email. Should I send it? Let's, let's do whatever email you have the one that I'm sending you emails. So let's do this. If I go to. Yeah, you could just do it here or hit done and exit the green. That's what I need to do. Okay. So now if I go to my product. What you could do is you could just go to my memberships and you can add someone there. Okay. That's so cool. And then just hit the, hit the dots, the three dots. No, to the, on the actual image. Yeah. And then you go to, um, yeah, members list and then you could just add from there. Okay. That's cool, man. Yeah. So that, that's exciting, man. Just get, get all that. And, and again, if you need to go back and tighten up your email automation, look at those emails.  He needs to be writing a story. It needs to be story time. These emails story time with Steve. Yeah, he's kind of, he's, he's kind of put all that. On me. Yeah. Okay. Busy. He's like, you can do it right up the script. And, and I, you know, I don't, I don't mind doing it. Okay. Okay. Well, in that case, yeah, that email, man, I'm telling you a few, a few extra cells this week from that 128 list is the difference. Yeah. Just a few, man. Just a few. If three came in out of the 128, that would have been, we would have been sitting on five cells. That right there is breaking even in one week, in one week, one week. You know, so just keep me posted, man. Keep me posted. Yeah. Okay.  So I'll book something for next week and I'll get that ad put together and we'll, we'll get a nice post. When we're on the call, we can just go to that post and create the next ad. Sounds good. Pastor. All right. Man, have a great weekend. Start watching it with the wife, the course. It's game time. Okay. Yep. Bye. Yeah.

Again, he was also supposed to be in episode one didn't really work out in the best route He's a really busy man. Well, we got his busy schedule down Now we got two other beautiful combatants two beautiful warriors who are also joining us. Cody. Who are those two beautiful people? Okay, first of all, I need to talk about somebody who used to be pretty well known on the vinespace And now he's pretty well known on the stardust space and well known on the youtube space And his name is austin burk also known as the burkinator and honestly, we've been wanting Austin is one of those people that we've been wanting to Talk to and get into something for a long time be at the podcaster Whatever and we got him for episode two of entertainment wars to pitch his idea We worked around his schedule and we got him and now What I consider the best for last guys we can't have it all just be guys on the show So unless we got to go out of the country too Yeah, we got a female combatant and not just a female combatant not just any female combatant a female combatant from Australia We got kasey causley. Sorry kasey if I mispronounce your name, but kasey causley That's why I left that one to you because I have no fucking idea how to say her name But kasey is coming on the show obviously different time frames It was a little tricky to try to figure out when we were going to film But we finally figured it out everything is sorted out and so Episode two we have our contestants everything's going down. We have adam Dolly the villain we have john the real talk We have austin burk also known as the burkinator and we also have kasey causley And those are our combatants guys. We're super excited to talk about entertainment Yes, and we're so excited to have them all on board really excited for that Jacob jewis. Um, sorry, I probably mispronounced your name. Sorry man. I guess how you doing? We're all doing great. We're talking entertainment wars too here And um, yeah, so really had decided to have them all be there This is gonna be super epic bringing all sorts of different personalities and mixing them together Uh, I could not wait to see how this goes if for everyone knowing we are filming august 15th, which is next sunday August 5th august 5th. Yeah, august 5th. Sorry august 5th filming next sunday And i'm assuming cody you're probably two weeks And we'll we'll know within like a week and a half of one We'll know soon when we'll have it up and we will let you guys know Yeah, and also I think If there are there are going to be changes to episode two and I don't feel the need to spoil all of those changes But there is one that we should get out of the way because it will be obvious Is that if you guys remember round one the the name it round that we had which I love I love it Yeah, it's great and it and for you guys for you guys know the person who found all those descriptions We made a couple up ourselves, but the person who found those descriptions was zack But yes zack is right uh round one name it we got rid of and that's just a creative choice We decided you know this show is all about creativity and all thinking out of the box and pitching and all that other good stuff And round one did apply itself to that in some ways However, we didn't think that it actually fit with the rest of the show because it didn't feel like people were It didn't feel like people were coming up Creatively with their own original ideas or pitches and stuff like the rest of the show has we love round one But creatively and it was fun because everyone kind of have their own genre and stuff But um, but overall but overall i'm fine with it We're getting rid of it We're leaving it to more of the pitching stuff since that is like a lot of the stuff that people really did enjoy And it kind of makes it more fair in the points system Um in a sense if you don't if you miss every point in the first round you could easily lose So we want to give it more of Beneficial things so and then sudden that That'll also change but we're not spoiling how that changes because we obviously saw how that went and ryan didn't know Who someone was and did you freeze? Yeah, I did not freeze, but that's just how it goes so But of course that is how I think Cody you're the one that froze guys But of course guys, so let's talk about this so So guys seriously, sorry I had to Cody logged out Um, let's see if he joins back in but um, yeah, so we are changing the sudden death round It'll be a little bit different. We're that one. We're kind of leaving for more of a surprise And then some of the minutes and debating and the pitching is the stuff that will be a little bit changed up on that point um So, yeah, we're really excited for this entertainment works too, baby I'm gonna go through the live chat a little bit and tell you guys what's up.

Um, but yeah, that's entertainment work guys I don't I don't want to keep this super long because I want you guys to also like catch up with this later down the road but so I'm I think I'm gonna end this if you guys have any other questions throw it down below of What we're doing and uh, what what we're doing in that aspect I'm a movie reviews. I might have suggested less Nickelodeon characters I know ryan didn't quite know what a couple characters were and I was right there with my to look them up See and that's another thing we changed up Anything that's kind of random that we can just throw out at you and you can't really really research We did change a lot of that Made it more accessible, but the stuff for the people who can research on we did throw it in there for you guys So it looks like it looks like Thanos is back But yeah, holy crap. Thanos didn't get him, but uh, we are ending this soon. I've already gone through this Cody Oh, geez. Wait, did you tell them that for those of those who are worried about next episode? It's going to be a lot shorter than episode one was. Yeah, so that's that's kind of how it is We're also making it a little bit shorter, but um So that yeah, so we're excited. Uh, the real talk said we should put more porn stars in there I don't know about that, but uh, maybe later down the road. I love the mariah mills thing though Maybe we did I don't I don't remember now watching Durban's reaction. That was hysterical.

We're at a point in time where every company, every movie studio wants to have an extended universe featuring a rich tapestry of characters from all the different properties they own. Now when it comes to video games, Fortnite pretty much trounces everyone. They buy out licenses left and right to use different content, different characters in their game, but when it comes to cinema, a movie accomplished just way back in 1988. And that film is Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I'm randomly talking about this movie today because Emmanuel Santiago over on Patreon at patreon.com slash adamdasmovies requested it.  So thank you Emmanuel for being an awesome Patreon member. Let's talk about Who Framed Roger Rabbit. As I stated, the film came out in 1988, was directed by Robert Zemeckis. Robert Zemeckis, Robert, why does that name sound familiar? I don't know. Could be because he directed one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time, back to the future. Maybe you know him from Forrest Gump, or Castaway, or the live action Pinocchio. Oh that was, that's not a good example. He has gone downhill lately, I'll say that, but man the guy was a legend back in the day. With Who Framed Roger Rabbit, just being one of his many amazing hits. I've seen it probably four or five times. I just showed my kids it recently. They both liked it too. And I'm incredibly fascinated that we somehow got Warner Brothers and Disney characters in the same picture. It just will never happen again. The fact that it happened at all is incredible. Steven Spielberg's to thank for that. I looked it up. I did some research, but I encourage you to, if you're really interested, there's tons of videos and tons of articles about how this went down with Amblin Entertainment and Disney. Anyway, the film takes place in Old Hollywood in 1947, where humans and cartoons coexist. Cartoons are just known as tunes in this for shorthand. And I have to say, the way this movie blends live action and animation is still top tier. I just rewatched it. It looks fantastic. The way the lighting and shadow bounces off these characters, how they're seamlessly interwoven into sequences.  It's night and day. You can tell there was artistry and craft put into every single frame of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, especially that one upskirt frame we get of Jessica Rabbit later in the movie. Yeah, when I was a kid, I would take the VHS tape. VHS tape. Wow. That's depressing. I would meticulously go frame by frame through that scene where she's flipping out of the car and spinning around in her dress. And yeah, it was there. It was there. As crazy as the merging of characters was, the plot is even more insane. I think this is a movie catered to all ages. I mean, you have Dumbo flying around, you have Mickey and Bugs in here. Yet the film is very dark.  The late Bob Hoskins takes lead here as Eddie Valiant, a washed out cop turned private eye. He has to figure out if Roger is actually responsible for this or who the real culprit is. This takes him to the seedy underbelly of Hollywood where we get some fantastic sequences like the piano duel between Daphne and Donald Duck, my favorite moment of the picture. We have these two animated characters going off on the piano. Things are exploding. There's penguins walking around with trays of drinks. The penguins are animated. The trays are real. It's so good how they set this stuff up. Eddie Valiant is incredibly no-nonsense. He's rough and tumble. He hates toons because brother was killed by one.  He's obnoxious. He's annoying. He's an old school cartoon character to a T, like Woody Woodpecker combined with bonkers, combined with Daphne Duck. Like it's like the worst of all these characters wrapped into one. And Charles Fleischer, who voices the rabbit, knocks it out of the park here. I just rewatched this movie and I still couldn't believe what I was seeing. How is this movie made? There's a freaking talking baby who smokes and sounds like he just got done with two tours in Iraq. He's swearing. He's looking up women's dresses. He's incredibly crass. Love the character. Then you have freaking Kathleen Turner as Jessica Rabbit, dear God. This is a character that turned me into a man overnight. I think I was 10 when I saw this film. I grew up real quick that day. Kathleen Turner provides that lovely baritone voice while Amy Irving did the actual singing number. Honestly, how was this movie made? I remember going to Disney World when I was a kid and there was a giant cutout statue of Jessica Rabbit.  I can't think of anything more lame and awesome at the same time. Jessica Rabbit is a dream come true for men all over the place and probably some lesbians out there. It's a beautiful character and one that would go on to be inspired by fake bodies on TikTok to this day. Last and not least is the always amazing Christopher Lloyd as the villain. We got fester in this movie, people. We have Doc in this movie. And again, this is where I sit back and scratch my head thinking, who is this movie for? The plot is so complex for a child to comprehend. Roger Rabbit's framed for killing Acme because there's photos that came out of Acme playing Patty Cake with his wife, Jessica. Jessica's being unfaithful. Roger's jealous. So obviously, he's going to drop some hurt on the guy, right? Wrong. It turns out Christopher Lloyd's character, Judge Doom, that doesn't set off a red flag or seven. I don't know what would, he and his Toon Goon set this whole thing up. But why do this? Why set this in motion? Well, it's obvious. It's because he wanted to set up a new highway system that ran through Toontown, stripping that thing out completely where he could put gas stations and fast food restaurants, things of that nature. And he needed Acme out of the picture so that he could become a major player.   It sounds like Fred from YouTube back in the day. Remember Fred? Remember VHS and Fred? Oh my god, what is happening in my life? There's just so much to appreciate here, from the practical effects being married so seamlessly with that animation, to the brilliant introduction to the movie where it looks like one of those old school Looney Toons episodes. We see Roger Rabbit starring in his hit show trying to keep a baby alive. It has a very Tom and Jerry style of feel to it. And this 2D, 3D hybrid animation they use is beautiful. You could have done a whole movie like this and I would have been all in. But then when they pull back the curtain and we see the birds around his head and the director come out and yell at him because they're supposed to be stars, it's so freaking awesome. Then Roger Rabbit just walks right off the set. Like they were filming in front of a live studio audience. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. There's a fully animated Toontown that Eddie visits. We have this LA noir style to everything. It's set in an interesting era of Hollywood with great production design, costumes, everything is working in this. The movie is wholly creative. I love every moment of it. Who Framed Roger Rabbit was an instant classic when it came out. Holy unique. Everyone should see this movie if they haven't. It might not even be something you enjoy, but it's something you'll appreciate. And that's what it's all about here. It's about making movies that are different, that stand out, that withstand the test of time. And after just rewatching this film, I can safely say it does. Thanks again to Emmanuel Santiago for recommending this movie. If you want to recommend one, please head over to Patreon.com AdamDoesMovies, become that top tier member. It's not that much money. You could only do it for one month if you want. I think it's 30 bucks. 30 bucks gets you a full review of a film. Not a bad deal, I think. If you really like what I'm doing and you don't have that much mula on hand, there's also a dollar tier, a five dollar, and that gives you access to 300 plus exclusive videos from my second channel that are private. They're only for Patreons and YouTube join members. Anyway, thanks for watching. What do you think of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Leave a comment below. Let me know. Like the video if you had a good time. Check me out on different platforms like Twitch.tv slash AdamDoesMovies. I'm also on TikTok. I have a merch store. I'm around. There's a link tree in the description. And hopefully, I'll see you around. Man, I'm honestly surprised Who Framed Roger Rabbit hasn't been ruined with the sequel. I know he was in the Chip and Dale movie, but oh my god. Imagine what Disney Plus would do to dishonor that movie. They would just ruin it so badly. Hopefully Zemeckis can keep that from happening like he has been with Back to the Future. They haven't touched that movie because Robert Zemeckis refuses. And I appreciate the man for that.


Hey guys, this week in the rundown we're talking about changes to the Navy's GMT program hitting the fleet. We have an interview with the Navy Chief of Chaplains as we highlight Suicide Prevention Month and changes to the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal. Earlier this year, SecNAS said he would end general military training as we know it. The Navy has updated the program to make it more efficient and effective for sailors across the fleet. The program will be split into two categories, Standardized Core Training, SCT and Navy Command Assigned Readiness Enhancement or CARE. SCT is the annual required training that we are all familiar with. With CARE training, triads will be given more flexibility to determine how to implement GMTs to make them more effective for their command. Command triads can also determine the schedule of trainings so that they are administered when they are most impactful and relevant. To read all the details of the change, check out the NAVAD men on NPC or read the five things you need to know about the GMT on Navy Live. So it's Suicide Prevention Month and as part of it, MC1 Fabrizio was able to talk to Navy Chief of Chaplains real admiral Margaret Kibben. She spoke about how we can recognize the potential signs others may present, where sailors can turn to in a time of need and the overall importance of caring and listening to our shipmates. Here's a bit of that interview. Is that when an individual is struggling with something in their lives and they just really want someone to talk to about all those issues, whether suicide is on the table or not, they know that they can come to a chaplain with complete confidentiality. And should the decision be part of their thoughts that they might be thinking about suicide to just lay that out on the table sometimes is really very important so that they can just know that somebody heard it and then therefore they see that somebody has heard them and in hearing them then maybe suicide that's taken off the table. Check out the full interview on Navy Live. Finally, an all-nav has been released that creates two new missions for sailors to qualify for the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal or G-WAT-E. Now the G-WAT-E Medal may be worn by sailors who served in Operation During Freedom Sentinel or Operation Inherent Resolve. Be sure to read the all-nav 062-15 on NPC that provides all the details about the change. Well, that's all for this week. For any questions, send us a message at USNPeople at gmail.com. For the Chief of Naval Personnel, I'm MC2 L.J. Burleson. Thanks for watching.


After ending the 2019 season with the 4-7 record last year, the Phelps Hornets are gearing up for what some hope to be the team's best season yet. This is going to be the most experienced team that Phelps has had in a long time. We've got 11 seniors. We only lost 5 seniors from last year and only 2 on each side of the ball that we're starting and we had a kicker. We're going to be pretty experienced this year. We have a lot of talent coming back and we're looking to shock a lot of people this year. Preparing for the season has been a challenge in some cases for the Hornets, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When we go into the weight room we have to wear a mask on, hand sanitize everything, spray everything down. It's really stressful. The Hornets kick off the season at home against Martin County on September 11th. For more on this and other stories, visit mountain-topsports.com or check us out on Facebook and Twitter. With Mountaintop Sports, I'm Cody Davis.


Great, we are back live here in, was formerly Sonny Las Vegas, Jeff, it's not Sonny Las Vegas anymore, Stormy Las Vegas. I've just checked the Twitter feed, people are saying there are flood advisory, so everyone take care of yourself, watch out for small pets and dogs. So I'm Jeff Frick with Silicon Angle, we're here at Splunk Comp 2012, we've been going at it all day, a lot of really interesting companies that are using Splunk to change the way they do business, getting a lot of data out, not just data anymore but really information, actionable information. So it's a lot of excitement. I'm here with my co-host, Jeff from wikibon.org, the preeminent big data analyst in the industry. Is that what... Well, that's what... I won't dispute that if you want to say it, but thank you so much. You're very welcome, Jeff Kelly. Welcome back everybody, having a great day here at dot com, thanks of course to Splunk, our sponsor for bringing us here, what are you going to give you this great content. We've got another great guest, we've got Ken Cheney, Chief Revenue Officer, enjoyer me Latras, co-founder CEO, message bus, welcome guys. Thanks. Welcome to the queue. Thanks for having us. So you guys are, we're telling us a little bit before we went on, you guys aren't just a Splunk customer, you kind of run your whole business with Splunk, so tell us a little bit about what you guys do and then we can kind of dig into some of the details. That's right, so message bus is a cloud native application that provides messaging services across email application push notification and various other message types that you could think of that branch out into the entire world. So we send lots of messages for various different customer types, some of these are receipts for financial transactions or password reset notifications, others are marketing messages or newsletter notifications, and they have different sort of tiers of priority classification and things like that. So we do that for a broad range of our customers. We have relationships with our customers based on their volume. So one of the key ways that we've implemented Splunk initially in our company outside of the normal sort of IT monitoring and notification filtration, things like that, is that we allow our customers to see into their billing profile on a regular basis and actually correlate charges directly to log lines coming straight out of the machine code that's being generated as we send their messages. We can see not just the billing information as well, but we can also see response codes from feedback loops that are subscribed to and also we can see full stream information, message by message, user by user, so that they can really do a deep dive on the data on their own time whenever they want. We also give them canned reports which come straight out of Splunk. But those are some novel ways that we're using it. There are some other very novel ways that are. Yeah, I mean it's the typical customer type that we're dealing with is pretty comfortable with the types of tools like Splunk that we're using. What we encounter is that folks are actually looking to remove CapEx from their environment. And so they come to us and we allow them, if they're an app dev, to quickly bootstrap that app and get it up and running with messaging services or an enterprise may be sending, as he was saying, critical announcements, things like that. But the point being is that at the end of the day, these customers, when they interact with us, they're actually, we eat our own dog food. We leverage Splunk heavily across multiple business processes and we expose where appropriate to our customers the information that Splunk provides. And like you said, so as folks are trying to reduce CapEx in the 21st century sort of compute model, they all want to get away from owning their own servers, from owning licenses for software that they'll go put on a shelf somewhere. And when we started dreaming about how we were going to provide a cloud native application to folks, we knew that we had to be in multiple clouds. So one thing that's kind of interesting to talk about with our, with regard to our Splunk story as well as just our general business story is that we have a presence in every major cloud provider in their public cloud. And then we also have various types of private cloud and hybrid pieces to our own business. So we're in rack space right now. We're in Amazon. We're in joint. We're working with the Azure crew to figure out how we best fit into that, that environment. But that allows our customers to be, to choose their own provider. And we're right there native to that. Now, how does that play into the Splunk story? Well, we have a Splunk instance in each and every cloud. And you can imagine that collecting data in each cloud and then trying to figure out how to piece it all together is a pretty difficult thing. But it's so simple with Splunk because we just say, okay, these are your forwarding nodes and this is your master node. And we can do a master node that's actually replicated in each cloud so that every cloud gets everybody else's roll up data, not necessarily the deep dive, but there's enough data there that you can go back and figure out sort of the important pieces of your business across the entire logging infrastructure and across the entire data collection infrastructure. Yeah, I was gonna say, there's not that many vendors out there yet who are really delivering kind of truly cloud-native application services. And when you start thinking about running across multiple clouds, it's an issue of not every cloud is the same, right? You look across Rackspace or Joints or AWS and you have specific strengths and weaknesses. So it's not that your workload is running spread evenly across those clouds. You actually are leveraging the strengths within each, right? And so our Splunk deployments are really, as you point out, you dive deep when needed for troubleshooting, but we aggregate kind of key critical metrics across that let us understand the total workload that is across all those systems at any given time. But at any given time, different parts of our workload are sitting in different spots.  Some in Cloud A and some in Cloud B? Or are you actually delivering kind of the cloud-specific benefit to that customer during that process that they're executing and shifting that work appropriately? So it's both. And third, it's utility or cost, right? Our ability to leverage, depending on the type of workload, the advantages of each particular vendor.  So you can feel their pain and sort of get in there. So that's great for us. Second, when we are going out to our customers and telling folks that we want to help automate tough business problems for them, we can prove that we know how to do that because we've automated, the entire process of going to multiple clouds is 100% automated on our side. We use OpsCode Chef to manage all those different pieces for us. So we can prove it right there. So that's the first one. The second one, survivability. If one of our cloud providers has an area, or like a geographic outage, we don't have to participate in that, right? We can bounce workload over to another cloud or another geography based on what's available. Additionally, what's fastest, what's most cost effective? That's a third thing, right? So what's most cost effective is often not a question of whether or not they've got high speed IO available in AWS today, right? With a quality of service guarantee and an SLA and blah, blah, blah. We don't necessarily want to have those conversations all the time. And we don't really want to think about what's most cost effective all the time. We do in very specific occasions. So we can set up relationships, long-term relationships with folks, to get the guarantees at the best cost where it's actually important to us and not just sort of on an, across the board basis. So- But to tie it back to Splunk, right? Splunk's giving us that visibility from a utilization perspective. Right. And we're able to pull kind of key metrics out. Right, so in this world with that much data, you're in hybrid environments, you're working across clouds. So you've got a lot of moving parts, a lot of data coming in from different sources. So prior to a tool like Splunk, would it even be possible to do what you guys are doing? Absolutely not. One of my favorite experiences at Twitter was actually finding out the hard way that when you get to the high hundreds of machines, you lose all capacity for introspection. So when you want to introspect all the way down to which disk drive is going to fail, at 500 machines, you can't really do that, that type of introspection. The data volume rolling off the machines is so high and there is so much noise, you can't detect any kind of signal at all.  So, we feel like additionally, the fact that you can do all these natural language queries against Splunk data and against machine data and get back really effective information. That's one of the things that we presented here earlier today. One of our use cases is that we have customer questions that normally would require a developer to try and answer. We have account managers who are not technical people who don't write code for living, who have never written a database query in their lives and they assemble and create their own Splunk queries to save, make their own dashboards and dashboards that they share with customers without ever interacting with a developer. So, very technical interactions with no technical knowledge required. Those kinds of things are absolutely not possible in an assist log world, right? Absolutely, absolutely. So, tell us a little bit more about, let's take into some really kind of unique insights maybe you guys have uncovered using Splunk and some of the things, add some real color to how it's really translated into business value for you and your customers. Sure, so we have... Maybe we should cover from a process perspective. Like if you look at it from a life cycle perspective we're using it across our life cycle. So, our developers are trained up and are actively leveraging Splunk to help us from an application testing, application troubleshooting perspective. So, in terms of how we instrument, so we're leveraging essentially key value pairs to throw alerts. So, you don't actually have to have, you know, English language written in there to throw those alerts for us. So, we're leveraging Splunk heavily in that kind of dev test cycle. Actually, in our integration tests. So, as we deploy new code, our integration tests go and run the new code through with a bunch of test data and Splunk provides all the feedback from that test. What's important here is, and we should have backed up and covered this earlier, but we are a true agile dev ops environment, okay? Our developers sit with our ops folks, right? And some of them are one in the same. They're interchangeable people. Yeah, interchangeable. So, in terms of how we use Splunk and think about Splunk, we do think about it from a life cycle perspective.  And so, you know, that example we gave about how we're using it for unit testing, how that translates over then into production. It's all very real. We also use it to measure the velocity of our development team. So, we kind of carry the agile ideal of velocity around as a number of complexity points that are developed, that are delivered to the production site or the production application in a week. And that gives us some time to introspect and figure out whether or not the features that we're trying to deliver are likely to occur in the next week or two. Or should we push that delivery date out and that's actually gleaned from the code check-ins that happen. There's a log analysis that happens via Splunk at our GitHub. So, it provides us with graphs that are relevant to our operations. So, we've got the coders. We've got the account managers. And then, of course, it's the same story everyone wants to tell you about their IT implementation, right? Where we didn't know the machine was going to die until we saw this spike, right? And we've actually got that set up in such a way that we'll actually receive pages to a mobile phone if things go horribly wrong. And that's all done with canned scripts. So, I have two questions. Sure, we don't have a ton of time. But one is, I'm just curious what the business value is that you've been able to extract through all these processes. The fact that you can build a company so you guys are getting paid, your investors are going to want to get paid at some point in time and you must be saving your customers' money on the front end.  That's a great question, right? I mean, the market today that we compete in, the vast majority of customers out there that we talk to are deploying on hardware where their capacity constrained, right? So they have a huge amount of CAPEX that goes into it. Along with that, there's a tremendous amount of expertise that has to be part of the equation, understand email, understand messaging in general, manage the relationships with all the big receiver ISPs. And we remove all of that, right? And Splunk lets us remove all of that, right? It is an enabler to our business, right? It's core to what we do. And so for customers who come to us, they're able to easily move their existing messaging traffic over to us. They're able to support new, exciting applications. So we work with a lot of social media, game developers, other types of companies like that who are looking to do very interesting types of use cases. They're able to do that very quickly with us and they're able to ensure the deliverability, meaning it's one thing to just catapult messages out. It's another thing to actually make sure messages are delivered. And to that end, across our business, Splunk is helping with that, right? So if there's message problems we know, Splunk lets us know, right? That's close to real time as possible. And the question, the answer you're really looking for is that when we talk to customers who know a lot about the actual sunk costs that they have in sending large volumes of messages or just how important it is to their business as a bottom line value, they're looking at between 60 and 70% capex savings just by switching to this because you don't have to buy the machines, the network bandwidth, the co-location facilities, and then the expertise, the humans, to go and service all of those pieces. So it's a significant amount of savings to switch over to our process. And we would absolutely not have the capability to do that without the current iteration of software as it is now. The other question I wanted to ask, which is kind of interesting, let's read your Twitter background. Is there a lot of talk here at the show about machine-generated data, right? Log files and sensors and this, that and the other. But clearly, at least from the outside, looking in, the explosive growth, which may or may not be accurate, is then people turning into machine-generated data on Facebook threads and Twitter feeds and this, that and the other. So I'm just kind of curious from your perspective, kind of being there at ground zero in terms of zero to big, really fast and explosive.  What have you kind of, have you seen this thing go from nothing to giant? I'll tell you, the reason I built this business of sending email is because a lot of people thought that Facebook and Twitter and SMS were gonna kill email and yet year on year email keeps growing by tens of percentage points and the reason is very simple. People wanna have conversations and they wanna have relevant conversations and there are various forms, various media to get your conversation out there and Twitter and Facebook are great ways to have various types of conversations and email is still a valid form of a conversation medium and so we wanna be part of that story and watch it grow. And you're part of the founding team there at Twitter. So tell us a little bit about, you know, having you kind of transition from your role there at Twitter to this job here and how did that kind of inform working at Twitter and kind of the lessons learned there and form what you're doing now? Well, I didn't sleep for about four years. So it was probably time for it to take a little rest. In 2010. So what better way than want to start up, right? That's right. So in 2010 I decided to get some sleep. I took a long sabbatical and decided that I just wanted to go do something a little bit different. Now, about a year and a half before that, one of the people, we had an open desk policy at Twitter when we first founded it and we had a bunch of people who rented desks from us and one of those people was Narendra Roshal who was an original founder of WebShots. Great story there. He and his partner Nick Wilder were doing this incubator project and they wanted me to come help them set up email servers for their incubated companies and as we got closer and closer to automating that process we realized that what we had was a multi-tenant cloud solution and we said, wow, this might be something fun to play with. We got roped into taking some funding from True Ventures and made a real business out of it. Today we're up to 31 employees. We've got some great customers and some great stories. My friends that helped, you know, my friends that founded Twitter with me are now some of our best customers. So we're dealing with Obvious Corporation's company Lift. We're trying to work our way into Medium right now with some great folks there. They've figured out that email's now important part of that and we've got a bunch of other stories that we're going to be really excited to tell later this year. So, you know, our goal is the same way that people equate Amazon to CPU with AWS and they equate Dropbox or Box to storage. We want to be that for cloud messaging, right? When people think about cloud messaging and the requirements around that, they turn to us. We're at the messaging layer. All right, really interesting story. I mean, we're hearing some really great customer stories about the different ways, I mean, it just runs a gamut. The different ways customers of Splunk are using the tool, using the product, you know, startups. Then we're seeing larger enterprises that are kind of trying to modernize the way they handle things. DevOps you mentioned earlier, I mean, we've heard that a couple of times today about how Splunk kind of enables that more iterative approach as opposed to the old kind of a little more static silo model. Absolutely. Yeah. And just really extracting enough business, enough business value to build the business on and give business value back to the customers and continue to grow. Absolutely. It's terrific. Okay, Ken and Jeremy from Message Bus. Thanks so much for being here. Appreciate it. Thanks for coming on by the queue. Thanks, John. And we're, of course we're here at .conf. 2012 Splunk's user conference here in Las Vegas. Thanks to Splunk, our sponsor for bringing us here. Really appreciate it. Giving you this great coverage all day today and tomorrow. So we'll be right back after a quick message.


Ever wonder what you did to deserve harsh treatment from others? Well, sometimes it's not you but the work people have to put in to improve their habits. Whether it's their deep rooted insecurities that cause them to lash out at you or their inability to let go of the past, know that you don't have to tolerate the toxic behavior that people have to work out on their own. Here are five types of unhealthy people you should walk away from. One, the green monster. Do you know someone who never seems happy when you achieve something or always gets competitive even over the little list of things? When jealousy drives them, it creates tension between you two instead of building an authentic supportive relationship. Envious feelings can also make it hard for the individual to be happy for you when you want to celebrate special moments with them. Don't play into their comparison games and never downplay your own achievements just to make them feel better. Most importantly, ask yourself if you want a true friend or a mere friend of me in disguise. Two, the nihilist. Life can get messy and it's normal to feel dejected every once in a while. But if you know someone who is constantly a Debbie Downer and dismisses your excitement over future events, hobbies and dreams, it makes it nearly impossible to share that happiness. Know that you don't have to stoop to their level of pessimism. In fact, staying away from a negative attitude will be beneficial for your health in the long run. Research has shown that high levels of cynicism puts people at a bigger risk of developing dementia compared to more open and trusting individuals. Three, the slacker. Have you ever sat next to someone who wanted to mooch off your work and get the same credit for it? Talk about unfair, right? These people lack motivation, don't care about ethics and do whatever it takes if it means taking the easy way out.    They might seem like they care about you, but they only care about two things. Fast results and themselves. Four, the complainer. What's worse than wasting time complaining about a situation instead of changing it? If you know someone who prefers to wallow in self-pity instead of taking action, it can be a bad influence on you. Toxic people who incessantly play the victim card but never take responsibility for what they are capable of fixing aren't just whiny, they're self-absorbed. Five, the verbal abuser. People who know how to dish out criticism but don't know how to apply it to their own lives can be incredibly hypocritical. They continue to put others down because it's easier than working out their own problems. Know that you don't have to take in what they say and surround yourself with people who will build you up instead of breaking you down. People who are verbally abusive enjoy attacking you because it makes them feel better about themselves. Your friends should be supportive of your goals and help you strive forward instead of holding you back. Do you encounter these types of people in your life?  For more information on toxic friends be sure to check out our other video here. Thanks for watching!
