You know the more I think about it the more time I put towards thinking about it Why is is an attack like a full-scale just a Omega attack such as Buster call linked to one button on the transponders snail I mean that bad boy could get pressed in any number of what you just drop it Bada boom Bada bing I guess no one really anticipated it being stuck with someone as an Unintelligent as spandam. Hey, that's how QG's fault at this point. Please enjoy welcome back to this channel My name is Jack the Buster. I should know be we have episodes 296 and 297 of our one-piece watch through that the last ones Yes, Buster call was enacted and that fleet could be here any episode that being said the fight against Khalifa is Starting to actually go in Nami's favor. I have no idea anymore Meanwhile Luffy is in hand-to-hand combat with Lucian.  Yeah, so the real one can hit her Silly Khalifa. Oh my gosh kind of rolled her there for a second All right, Nami, let's not start talking trash too early man. That's what she was doing It's a forecast, okay But when you're in any close space a pretty big deal Bad guess Oh no, I was wrong Hey, maybe it's like one that is just like hidden. Maybe there's actually six. Oh never mind. That's her. Okay I was thinking way too far forward. How is the the what's it called not broken? So she missed back baby.  That was the name. I was looking for why is the log pose not broken I swear when they've got the first one at the lighthouse, it shattered when Luffy like sprinted by her Oh, okay. I was right at least from part two. She doesn't have to mix it up though.  Oh my god. Just murder her My side She's getting so windy with these one liners, bro. I swear she'd be writing them in her downtime. Oh my god. Did not even win Dang If she gets the key she has won. Oh, yeah, not me. Let's go at least everybody heard the thing about the what was that Is it starting to fall even more? I'm shocked this building hasn't fallen yet. Honestly Take us with you. There's no way. None of you can break out. There's no way Oh those ropes titanium man I don't think you want chopper to show up bro. Well, actually maybe that would go kind of hard chopper versus the giraffe and wolf Oh She's actually getting the key. Hell yeah, nami.  Oh my god. She's actually making a break for it Is that like large boom the sound of the the door's opening? Maybe that's where the buster call will come from Since I did say that's closer to a navy base. I don't know or it's just all the people trying to leave Oh shoot. Wait, is she gonna come running in? But she still has the handcuffs on. There's nothing she can do We back to it That's a cool shot So fast never expect a bite though, baby What is he cutting? Is she It's funny though because at this point typically I'd be like, dude, dad There's no chance. Luffy's even winning this especially did he just taste his blood especially since uh luchi hasn't used his other phone yet But seeing what luffy has now and getting to use what gear three is I have complete confidence in him like no doubt my mind I don't know that's misplaced confidence, but we'll see he's he's got such a cool design, man Luchi just he's just cool. He's cool. And he I know he enjoys this fight a lot He's been looking forward to this. That's why he smiled when he heard luffy I bowled him in That's a legendary pokemon, right. He doesn't even know Frankie barely even knows him Because you're his crewmate if anybody would know you would know You can't blame Frankie for being out of the moon, man Kill him just got the target here Better not I mean, it's already on his last leg. Yeah, maybe that will be what is like the straw that brings the camels back and for this building It's chopper. I'd believe it Very proud. Yes Number two is for the handcuffs for Zoro and Soya king, right? It's just not fair, man It's just not fair It's funny because there will be a Sane amount of people here eventually just not for usop I just like his giraffe face So you guys won't waste any time this is the last point in terms of cb9 that has to be taken care of The music needs all three Well, if they can just hold off till they get there with the key, they're gonna chuck it to him Zoro's gonna uncuff himself and he will be unleashed bro. Think Rock Lee dropping the weights Ask and you shall receive They're gonna realize it eventually too, right? Surely. Oh my gosh guys. Come on There you go. It looks like he's reaching his limit slowly It's like sweating and heaving even more than when he first transformed I mean it's done more good than bad so far despite chopper's worries So positive Or pass out surely not die Maybe they have to knock him out. I can't take him seriously bro. He's so adorable with the giraffe face One of those pirates but A small I mean if you're you're more than welcome to underestimate chopper's form like this He's got it under control, baby Oh Oh knock him into the water and I'll just like completely deactivate him Oh No, I mean they could still use him to it. Well, no if he's on the verge of dying Yeah, somebody needs to be there to catch him or something. Oh frank. He's going. Okay.  Oh, here we go.  Maybe they're both back the three straw hats versus them. You guys should probably be scared.  Uh, who am I kidding? Dude soga king's unleashed too He's right. No, they should have taken the opportunity when they had it But instead they just wasted time arguing and running around and now like I said It's gonna be like rockly dropping the weights like Zoro's unleashed He's been punching with a harder weight than he needed this entire time harder heavier. Whatever Episode 297. Let's get it. I want to keep watching.  This is some max strength stuff too, baby He's like Pirates, uh I don't think that's what she's gonna find corpses of going in his elephant Well, he's actually doing something himself, but it's not even himself. It's his elephant his elisword Oh Pretty cool. I won't even lie.  Where is he? Right on schedule, baby. She's literally carrying them on her back from tiny little back. My goodness go girl. So many bottles Stop Oh wait two was robin's them. No, no wait two was yay. I never mind. Oh, he does right? No, they have robins most likely they have to because they're the only let cb9 members left So khalifas were to zoro and suga kings. Oh, so if three or four three and four But if those two aren't then it has to be with them because we don't know what number she has as far as I know I'm pretty sure the one with kaku is one. Oh, no, no, no, not kaku Hey, no kaku and once his name would both have one too We're stuck You're here for the long haul, baby. You're committed. It's almost so depressing to that They don't even have an escape on ship because mary and her terrible condition is back at water seven Look at the chaos Oh I'm gonna be honest. It was all in soju king man all on him handcuffing them But that was there but still you have to blame them for the execution I really think zoro's been a pop-up right here. I won't lie. It's like so the king should have a big moment where he's the hero Thank you so agile Well, let's do Whenever I knew they were getting double words. This was like the last thing I anticipated.  They adapted so fast So yeah, he's just watching. Yeah back off buddy Yeah He's some chill.  Whoa Hell yeah, damn Oh my gosh interesting Well, I thought he was pulling up that kamehameha That makes that that actually does make a lot of sense. Yeah, it's like a sly wolf I mean the vibe I got from it. I was like, no, I could see him being kind of nice. I guess I was wrong Hey, you respect his name Yeah, he has to have a moment where he stands up for himself like this because it's all been about that ever since he adopted Soga king How does the name of the slingshot right? I mean that looks like it pretty hard. Oh never mind Damn, he's so agile Dog he stands no damn It's so mean I think since nami's had her moment. He really has to stand up for himself. He has to win this himself Look at a man That's shepherd. He's the sheep.  I know you're in there, baby. I got honestly kind of forgot about him I don't know why I thought he was knocked out still. Guess what?  Well the crew's mostly back together now Dang, I really didn't think he was gonna have a moment here. Oh It washed over him. Oh my gosh, did it just like barely missed them She just landed right next to him What He had to be saved again Not gonna feel good. No, stop Gonna say he's too weak Still Facts facts us up has his pros. He has what he's good at just like everybody else Are they gone? Well, they're opening. Oh my gosh. Oh shoot Damn, they gotta be close then. There's no way they catch up in time So I can front span down with robin too unless luffy gets to luchi Yeah, they have no ship or anything Genuinely beyond their reach Oh, he's trying. I'm just gonna get there Go second gear luna show us third. I don't care. She don't got time, brother Almost shots. I mean, he's just manhandling him. He gets hits in but still luchi's taking care of business It's his job to skull and he enjoys the fight Dang, he has to man. She has no means of escape. Try running away. Oh franky Oh, wait, franky could fight with luffy. I mean even if it doesn't then you could still fight span them Get past luchi as long as they're on it. She's making a pass Bro, she'd be so adorable She's really thinking about the team man. I swear fight head God dang dude And to think I trusted them all when we got the water seven I liked them The floor doesn't seem so much. Oh shoot. I can't tell who means more business. Yeah, dang How many shoes do they oh, they're getting on the train? Oh my gosh Just piling on. Oh, they tied the giant the gates. What? Now why wait that long? God thank you friday mercury. I'm only just gonna be any episode now. We're gonna see ships on the horizon You can't escape that way though anymore. I don't think 10 battleships man 10 battleships five vice admirals Oh my god I feel like geeked man He's tapping his foot I genuinely think sanji can take him down That's exactly what he needs to hear You Us up, you would think that sanji can make the inventions you do Damn first time we've seen his face since you put the mask on He has to take what he's good at and use it that's been the thing the entire time with usub He's never meant to be have been as strong as zoro luffy sanji all of them That's why they had those conversations like him nami and chopper kind of bonded together because they typically weren't as powerful as the others in the crew Not to mention like devil fruit powers because luffy and robin both had devil fruit powers So I mean how can they even compete but like like you said they they have the the things that they're really good at usub Invents things nami is so good at charting and so good at having them go in the right direction Choppers they're all purpose medicine like that's why they're all there There would be no like give and take in their crew and they wouldn't be as successful as they have been thus far If they were all just you know like uh big strong soldiers Everybody's gonna kind of like pull their own load in a sort of different way But man, we were just getting into the thick of things I mean we have this fighting in cp9 left against uh, you know kaku and I keep thinking davara for some reason from dbz the wolf in the giraffe But once that's over, I mean it's just going to be climax man Especially once the the buster call arrives guys That's been it for episodes 296 297 number one piece watch through do drop us up on the channel If you are new and I'll catch you guys in the next one This base


But right now for today things are looking pretty bullish all of a sudden in the past one hour or so and so we will be looking for bullish trades obviously in the pre-market you have a whole bunch of bullish candidates over here but basically you can see Google is up 7, gone up to 1132 and Amazon is also up over here. So let's see how the market's open and we'll take it from there let's see if Google pulls back it might be a good opportunity but it doesn't look like it's going to do that okay it is pulling back a little bit here yeah definitely pulling back so let's go to our analyze screen 1135 call the option price has gone up quite a bit we can do 1140 or the 1137.5 let's do 114 let's do 1137.5 and that's going for about 5 30 5 30 okay now it's moving up again all right I'm getting into Google guys 5 30 okay all right these are okay no we did buy Google also let's see all right yeah we are in watch this here Google's moving up this is good SMP is looking pretty decent here gone back into the bullish the ticks are moving higher yeah still very much to the bullish side no question let's see if there's any other big movers you have Amazon up 15 and Google is up 10 all right Google's moving higher folks okay 1136 Google is in the in the bullish range $400 I'm going to peel off a couple just peel off two contracts here now let three contracts run and so at 610 we are at 400 and okay there we go so this is good this is moving well 500 I'm going to take off two contracts and you can see the RSI is in the very bullish right there this is a turning out to be a good trade okay 680 we've booked some profit here we've got three contracts now it's 780 it's going for 690 here $780 profit here on on the Google trade it's still moving higher so let's see if we can get a little bit more we don't want to wait too long this is a great profit for a day trade okay it's coming off so all right I'm going to I'm going to take it off folks this has been a good trade but it's at 650 okay so let's say 700 to 750 dollars was on Google so that was a good trade Amazon is still moving higher SMP has become a little soft here I'm going to look at the SPX again because it recovered nicely on this bar and you can see it's still in the bullish range so if you go out for the July 12th expiry I would say it cannot go more than 3005 because there's going to be resistance towards that level as it tries to move higher but now we see some softness there are three red dots so we'll just wait on this but definitely caught the right trade on Google here today on the SMP 29.95 okay so let's go here and on the SMP I would go to the 3005 call okay 3005 and maybe we don't need three I mean our five contracts here option is a little expensive so let's just say three contracts and I'm going for it 730 okay yeah in on that so let's see how it goes the ticks have started moving up also on the SPX yeah still in the very bullish zone here not bad okay it's moving up there up 195 to 25 folks and only three contracts okay that's a that's a decent profit I'm going to take it 270 now and I'll just take it it's a that's a good profit it's still moving a little higher but yeah it's still moving higher we should get a better price if it fills 820 should get filled here that's the mark price okay yeah 820 all right folks that was a good trade also for both the Google as well as the SPX so I'm just going to stop it over here


Now, as howling winds echo across the snow-covered reaches of the wild northwest, the Quaker Oaks Company makers of Quaker Pop Wheat and Quaker Pop Rice, the delicious cereal shot from guns in cooperation with the Mutual Broadcasting System present by special recording Sergeant Preston of the Yukon It's Yukon King, swiftest and strongest lead dog of the Northwest Breaking the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest mounted police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches Back to the days of the Gold Rush and the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King, as they meet the challenge of the Yukon Our adventure will begin in just a moment Is this your day for planning a big picnic or camping trip to the nearest park area? If it is, give yourself a summertime reminder about the dangers of forest fires If everyone did his share about fire prevention, 10 million acres of valuable timberland would not go up in flames each year Most of these fires, 9 out of 10 to be exact, are caused by well-meaning people who are careless for just a brief fatal instant with matches, cigarettes or campfires They forget the simple rules advocated by Smokey the Bear Make sure that cigarette and pipe ashes are completely out Crush them out with a heel of your shoe When you use matches break them in two after using and when it comes to campfires the best summertime insurance is water Drown the fire and break it over make sure it's out and as Smokey the Bear says Remember only you can prevent forest fires. This message has brought to you as a public service King was lying on the floor outside the inspector's office When the door opened and his master sergeant Preston reappeared the great dog sprang to his feet We'll be on our way in less than an hour Longing, the supplies were already lashed to the sled and the dogs were harnessed It was time for them to hit the trail, but evidently there was to be a delay No, King, this way boy The topic of Mount Hunter's office for a moment There's a letter I promised to deliver to Greg Halloran at the Aztec mine as we go past that King trotted beside his master down the street When he entered Hunter's office King realized there would be more talk before they started out Settle down by the door to wait until his master had finished his business. The letter ready, Matt? Inspector said you were making the trip to Indian Village on Aztec Creek in since the mines only a little way beyond the village I didn't think you'd mind living this to Greg Halloran No trouble at all Here you are. He'll get it tomorrow Tomorrow, right? I thought you'd get that night. What's a long way, Matt? Three in a day's no point in the letter in Tomorrow is too late, huh? I should have done something about this before but I didn't realize until last night what she was planning to do. Shane? You know him? I know him. He's a promoter But what does he have to do with Greg Halloran or the Aztec mine? He holds a mortgage on the mine I thought so too. I did Let me explain, sir. Last fall when Greg bought all that equipment, he borrowed $20,000 from me and Gave me a mortgage. He told me about it. Well, last month I needed cash. Had to have it tonight with the Shane. I wanted to borrow money on my personal note But he wasn't interested. He offered to buy the Aztec mortgage and I had no choice but to sell Well, that's so serious. I'll be able to pay it off by tomorrow at noon. The mortgage only runs for six months Yes, Internet Well, I've heard the mines producing. He only started to produce Last night at the Palace Hotel, I overheard Shane talking to some of his cronies If the mortgage isn't paid off by tomorrow noon, he means to walk into the gold commissioner's office and Or close on the mine It's possible that Greg has the money. It's possible he's on his way in the town this very minute But on the other hand, and this is why if you give me I've neglected to tell him I sold the mortgage He may be postponing his trip into town because he knows I'm a friend and that I wouldn't think of for clothing In that letter you have I've told him that Shane now holds the mortgage and that he can't expect any leniency He must pay up before noon tomorrow Of course, if the letter won't reach him until tomorrow, it will reach him tonight Then if he has a good team and starts at once, he can make it back here in time He may not have to fool him out, but it didn't become any way. I'll see if I can raise some cash. Let's go King See you later Now as the sergeant ran back toward headquarters King realized the time for the start had come It was long after dark when they turned off the Klondike and onto the frozen surface of the Aztec An hour later they near the Indian village, but the village was strangely dark and silent There was no sign of life anywhere Sergeant stop the team Well, it seems to be deserted I'll have to investigate before we go into the mine The chief lives just ahead there The chief lived in a well-built log cabin and as they approached it King caught the set of men inside It was only a vague feeling of mistrust that made him growl Still the growl was enough to alert the sergeant and as he kicked the door open He's playing to one side of the doorway You're wrong impossible I'll come out of there in the name of the crown Who are you sergeant Preston Northwest Mountain Police?  What's your business? We're prospect. Yeah. How do you happen to be here? We were just passing by our team and slatters at the edge of the village We thought we might put up here for the night turns out there's nobody home There was no one here when you were right.  Oh, yes, we haven't touched the thing Nothing seems to have been disturbed. Not to certainly wouldn't have moved out unless all his belongings buying it's a strange thing Isn't it sad? Listen, those are Indians. All right. Sounds like they're on the wall pass. They must be attacking that mining camp. We say come on As the first war cries shattered the stillness of the night Greg Hallowen jump from his cot and started to dress The door burst open and Rick Collins is foreman enters. What's up? They surrounded the mess cabin in the storehouse We don't have enough men to make a fight of it. At least we can protect our machinery What about the gold in the office safe? It'll have to stay there. They can't open the safe They have a hard time moving it. Come on Ordering his men to hold their fire Greg Hallowen led them from the bunkhouse up the hill to the mine There they took cover and watched the Indian many of whom carried torture Shall we give them a few rounds now? Greg? No, but look they've broken into the storehouse The women and kids are carrying away our supply. We have plenty one body might send them back to their village I doubt it if they attack them mine will have to shoot, but we won't do it before that's fine All right, you know the boss, but it looks to me as if they're heading this way now Yeah, it'll be a fight whether you like it or not ready man. Oh, hold your fire. They're coming not anymore They're not someone just drove up see the sledding team there Hey, I've seen that big league dog somewhere before of course you have the man on the sled is sergeant Preston Wait, he's talking to that tool that who's listening to him.

They're not hurting you them make prison a prison? What are you talking about big hole in Hill? That's a mine not to Greg's digging for gold.

Ah, don't they you know that I just come from there I saw them a redhead and a man with a black beard Greg Sergeant their names are Ben Gage and Jake Martin I hired them about a month ago and fired them two weeks ago for deliberate carelessness They nearly wrecked our boiler. This is all a plot to get even it may be more than that I have some news for you, but I'll finish with not your first Not you You know, I've never lied to you that right Certain speak proof. I'm your friend. I've come all the way from Dawson to see if any of your tribe was sick No, Indian sick I'm glad to hear it, but if anyone had been I'd have given him medicine you good friend all Indian know that all right then you must believe me The man with the red hair and his partner are bad men They've lied to you Halloween doesn't want to hurt the Indians Raise your right hand and tell him you want to be friends great. Okay Halloween wants to be your friend not to That's good. You did wrong to steal halloween supplies not to you broke the law But we understand that the reason you stole was that the redheaded man made you afraid You won't be punished if you bring the surprise back Let them keep what they've taken you hear that not to halloween is making you a fine present Him good friend. Of course.  Ah, but it's very good. I'm not my leg.  It won't be much trouble. I'm afraid I haven't settled everything for you train No one could have handled not to the way you did but losing a few supplies is nothing course not compared with losing your mind What's that you ever mortgage coming to tomorrow noon? Well, yes, but matt hunter has it He won't mind waiting a few days for his money. Do you have enough gold to pay it off? Yes I was already to start in the town when that last blizzard came along. We don't have any dogs Horses and pat mules find deep snow mighty tough going I'm waiting now until the trail packs down a little But if matt worried about his money you tell him leave this letter drink. Oh, who's it run from matt? He couldn't mean to read it sure I'll need some more light Let's go to my cabin In the cabin rick joined the sergeant and greg just as greg finished reading the letter Well, what's the matter with you greg? Uh, you look as if you'd lost your last friend. It's the mine We're gonna lose the mine. What are you talking about matt sold the mortgage Roger shane holds it now In a foreclosure. I can't yes. He can't there's nothing to stop him He isn't paid off by noon tomorrow, but you have the gold in the site. It must be in Dawson by noon tomorrow It's after midnight now There's no way to get it to town in time. There's one way how high team But I thought you were making a patrol special trip to check on the health of matt whose tribe the mission is accomplished You were going to arrest then gage and jake mark. I still intend to you can't guard them and make any sort of time Going to arrest them and leave them in your custody until I return you do that make another trip back here greg The motto of the force is maintain the right And my mind it isn't right that you should lose this mine after all the work you've put in it There's something else too You hired gage and martin a month ago. Yes dust after shane bought the mortgage from matt They proceeded to try and wreck your equipment slow up production Tonight they incited the indians against you. You think shame hides them to make trouble. It's possible But if he did and if his purpose was to keep you from washing out enough gold to pay off the mortgage He's failed All it remains to make his failure complete is to get the gold to Dawson Sergeant it's in the office safe. Let's get it on board my sled. Come on The gold was loaded on the sergeant's sled since the trail was already broken king was honest in the lead position Greg and wrecked accompanied the sergeant as far as the indian village Natu had bad news water hello with hair like fire Man with black beard them gone when indian gets back to village probably heading for Dawson And it doesn't matter i'll pick them up later I know you'd like to come along with me greg but your gold's heavy and every extra ounce of weight will slow the team I understand the letter I gave you and the gold are all you need to get the mortgage All I ask is that you'll make it in time. We'll do our best When the team king Ben gage and jake martin realized the sergeant would learn from Natu that it was they who had incited the indian attack So they left the village as soon as the sergeant started for the mining camp They reached the mouth of the Aztec shortly after daybreak Here the trail sloped sharply as it ran into the clondite Jake was riding the sled while ben was on the running board driving the team hard He neglected to use his brake on the sharp downgrade and the slave was crowding the dogs As they neared the turn onto the clondite trail when they reached it ben shouted The dog swung away from the whip and their sudden change of direction knocked the sled off balance It took the turn on one run and then crashed over Ben was thrown clear but Jake managed to hang on to the overturned sled Come on Help me get this thing right. I can't what's the matter with you I twist it my ankle give me a hand as soon as I get the sled back on this runner Is someone coming where up the trail from Dawson? It's Corkman Yeah, what's the matter here? We had a spill what happened to Ben twisty his ankle help me get him on the sled What brings you up here coach? Why aren't you two sticking close to the mine? We got the indians to attack it last night and sergeant Preston showed up We thought we'd better clear out Preston had a letter for drake from matt telling him Shane means to pull close Yes I overheard matt talking to some of his friends trying to borrow enough money to pay off the mortgage himself He had no luck What about drake drake can't do anything about paying off now does he have enough gold? I think so No, it isn't noon yet But how could he possibly get the dawson in time? He couldn't make it on a horse.  Oh, it's Preston We have to consider the possibility that he has the gold on board his sled Neil we got to get out of here staying right where you are You're right here for Preston.  He must have found out that Jake and I were behind the indian attack.   You're not gonna leave me here Yes, we are but Preston won't Bad ankle no snowshoes or supplies You have to take young board his sled and he left to take you all the way to Dawson There's nothing like weight to slow a dog team down Ben and you carry plenty of it. I don't like it You're staying here with your leg or not Come on Jake. I know I'll listen to reason up. Oh my ankle. I can't stand on it We'll continue our adventure in just a moment The bases are loaded. It's the last of the night and two outs. Here comes the pitch.

Oh When Ben had been lifted out of the sled and covered with a blanket the sergeant checked the team's harness The padded king as he considered the miles ahead He knew the exact distance to Dawson and the pace the team must maintain if the town were to be reached by noon With Ben's added weight. He also knew it would be a heartbreaking effort I hate to ask it of you king that we must try And even if we fail fellow, I'll know that no other teams that have done so well. All right, boy 10 minutes of 12, jaykin courtland drove up to roger shane's office just as shame was leaving Just in time I have the mortgage in my pocket and i'm on my way to the gold commissioners to foreclose is it 12 yet? Two minutes out. No, no, then he can't possibly make it. You can't make what sergeant president We think he has a goal to pay off, but he can't make it. Oh, I see no sign of him. Come on By the time the team reached the outskirts of dawson king was pulling most of the weight of the sled himself His heart was close to bursting and his breath came in labored gas But even the sergeant wouldn't ask the team to keep up such a pace unless the need were desperate Hunting only a little way now Oh They were heading down front street now and king threw himself against the traces Inspired by his example the team matched his effort and the sled picked up speed faster and faster One minute two minutes king knew this last sprint could only be sustained for second though And then when he was afraid his muscles would be unequal to even one more driving stride the word of release came Oh The goal has been reached the sled stopped directly in front of the gold commissioner's office the sergeant ran up the steps Shane is about to open the door. No need to go in there Shane. What? It's exactly two minutes of 12 There's a letter from greg halloween and on my sled. I have 20 000 dollars in gold Which i'm authorized to pay you for his mortgage hand it over now wait this letter the gold's on the sled I want the mortgage. Is that it? Yes.  You won't send me to jail I may have to pay a fine, but that's all not quite Your business depends on the trust people have in you when they hear what you've done You'll be finished in darson and the yuka.

So without further ado, again, I really want to welcome to today's episode, Nicholas Meakins, co-founder, CEO at Luxgive. Welcome, Nick. Hi, Jared and Julia, thanks for having me. How are you? Thank you for being here. We are fantastic. This is a conversation I've been looking forward to. I've had the privilege of speaking with your co-founder, Bobby, and really nerding out about this topic. But for our viewers and listeners, would you please share a little bit about yourself, Nick, and then a little bit about Luxgive as we dive into the conversation? Sure, happy to. I am CEO, co-founder of Luxgive, but I think more importantly, father to beautiful little girls. And yeah, I come from the luxury travel industry, and that's really my background. Before then though, I was a volunteer worker. My parents were volunteer workers in both India, Africa, in Ghana, and in Argentina. So I kind of grew up on the field doing voluntary work with them. And then I moved myself into a completely different industry, which is the luxury travel industry, and only as of like four years ago, really found how we can marry that together with fundraising and supporting nonprofits and being part of the positive change, which is incredible for me to be part of. And then yeah, we started Luxgive about four years ago to 2019, just before something happened in the world. I don't know what it was, but we should get on and everyone's covering their mouth. And I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I know what wasn't happening along with that was events and travel. So it actually gave us some time to build out our product a bit better and just more completely. And we'd already seen the effect that we could have with our product and with luxury travel in fundraising world. And so it was more a matter of, okay, well, I think the world's gonna open up again at some point, so we'll be ready when they are. And come fast forward a year and a half later, that's what happened. And now we're seeing just incredible growth. Our team now is almost 40 people, which is crazy to think a year and a half ago, we're four or five people. And yeah, there's no real science slowing down here. And really what we put that down to is the effectiveness of our ability to be able to fundraise for the nonprofits that we're working with. And yeah, what we do is provide luxury travel experiences for them at their events, which we're gonna go into more detail soon. So talk to us then about that, because your story is fascinating that you would have an idea and you'd be all good to go and then just run up against this brick wall that really changed the trajectory of your company as all nonprofits. And I've got to believe there's some pent up demand here that's gonna work in your favor, but step back and talk to us about how luxury travel really can fit into fundraising. And more importantly, now at this point in time, when we're going back to the Gallows. Absolutely. As you said, we've gone through a journey here, which has been changing and been shifting underneath us. We are now in a place I feel though that we're almost back to normal, I think across the board. There's been some slight changes, I think, some evolutions, I think, as they've come through the years that now people are starting to do more hybrid events as an example. So they've gone comfortable with promoting their events online and delivering them in that kind of format. So now it's like, why not reach your wider audience for those people that aren't there on the night? So with that aside though, I think those in-person events are really back in full flow from what we've seen. And I think as of last year, there were still probably people that were not having events as a result of something that happened in the world. But I'm not hearing that now. So that's huge. And how does that fit? And I guess with luxury travel, it's an interesting question because again, four years ago, I probably been like, hey, can you tell me how this fits in? But I think at that time, I was at a fork in the road, something from my career as well. I'd worked with two of the top companies for luxury villa vacations, luxury retreats. And they were subsequently sold to Airbnb, became Airbnb Luxe and just really had their very high-end stuff. It's a sort of separate platform of theirs. And then Travel Keys, which was the number two player really in the industry of that time as well. And then a core hotel, it's a big hotelier, I came and bought them up. And at that point, I'm like, okay, well, what do I do? That's my industry, that's who I know. We can do that again. And then I really stumbled across the consignment world and the fact that you can actually use these to raise funds for nonprofits. And this immediately spoke to me. We'd already had a bit of interest before in our previous lives from nonprofits asking us to create villa experiences for them for their events. But they were doing all the running around. They were doing all that work. I'm trying to like, okay, I need this, I need that on top. Oh, how much would it cost if I opened up for this much period of time? Which was a different pricing model than what we were used to, which was like, hey, hi, Jarrett, you would like Jamaica from the 7th to the 14th of April? Okay, this is what's available. How many bedrooms do you need? And it was very specific. So doing all that run around the backend work to create something of great value for nonprofits, that was something that we felt we could do using our current network of homes. And we had access to over 10,000 of the top villas and homes, chalets around the world, private islands. So we went to work putting together these experiences and that's the part that we knew. So that we were comfortable with. Like, I can get you the best stuff anywhere in the world. That I know. I know hospitality, this is what I've been doing. Can do with our eyes closed, with our one hand behind the back. Not as good with two hands, but so. And then what we had to figure out then was what did the nonprofits need? That was the part that we really need to understand. That's what we've gotten a lot better at over the last four years. And so we took their events and we're looking, what's their goals from these events? And what we saw was that these events are really being held to bring together their key donors and build and reinforce those relationships. Thank them for their generosity over the year. I mean, they rely on these donors throughout the year. Give them some excitement, some entertainment and ultimately thank you for what you're doing. And then almost as a sidebar to raise some funds in that event as well. They'll receive donations throughout the year independently of this. So sometimes for a lot of nonprofits, this isn't where they make the most. This is an event that they wanna build those relationships, build up that rapport, say hi in person, thanks. Feel the camaraderie, the community around them, around this cause. And there in, when we were talking about the raising funds, we saw that there was a few different ways that they do that. Sponsorships, for one, paddle raise being very, very effective way of raising funds. And then there was these raffles and auctions. And the high ticket items were always the travel ones. So this is where I was like, being okay, this works. And what we saw were very similar and repetitive, I guess, options coming up in these events. Hotel-based ones, and they're good, resorts and everything. But I guess where we saw the opportunity for the nonprofits and us was that when I look at a hotel, I kind of know how much it's worth in some way. If I say a Fairmont for the night, how much is it one night at a hotel? 500 bucks, I don't know. Like right in my mind right now, I could probably put somewhere a pin on where it would be. Most people will as well. Whereas if I tell you, four bedrooms in Turks and Caicos on the beach were eight people. Oh wait, that could be $100,000. It could be $5,000, like who knows, honestly. It's like how long is a piece of string at this point? And so that's where we saw, okay, because it's less quantifiable, I think these homes and these experiences, it makes it a much more effective tool for fundraising. And that was the part that really stuck with us.  And that made us think, we're onto something here. Let's continue making these experiences and build a system that we can scale for when the world opens up. And so far we've seen it really work. We're 140% raise over the consignment price, which is interesting. And I know you had spoken earlier about multiples and how we might be able to make those more effective. But yeah, so that's really how they fit together, tapping into the donor's travel budgets. And these are people that have disposable income. That's why they're donating thousands in the first place and making sure that you give them the sort of experience that they're looking for. You know, I'm really curious, and you had mentioned tapping into the donor's travel budget. Let's talk about the demographic of these donors because I'm really curious, you know, with this pent up demand or interest to travel, has that demographic shifted? So what is the demographic truly of donors, you know, specifically for the luxury travel? Interesting question. Again, it is a sort of how long it's a piece of string question because it varies so wildly. And I think it kind of goes back to what is luxury in the first place for us. And this is a question that's constantly being raised. What is luxury? What does it mean? And if I look at, you know, for me, that varies from one destination from one experience to the next wildly. Like if I look at what we have in Patagonia, okay, you got no Wi-Fi, you got no pool. That's unacceptable if you're in St. Bart's. Right, right, exactly. But I'm in Barbados, I got staff. No, you're not gonna get that in St. Bart's, you know? So it depends on where you are, what you're looking at is, it defines what luxury is. But ultimately what we see is that, you know, these people, they're of a demographic that they know what they want. And they expect consistency, reliability, for one, good communication, they want us to understand their needs and respond to those and be proactive about that. And obviously with a little bit of flair to show them they're special, these people like to be a bit pampered.  Okay, but that by the side of the bed or something like this. Oh, wow, that's all you need sometimes. It's just something to show them that they're special. But the demographic of people, it is wildly, it varies across the board. And, you know, we work with a lot of, you know, private schools as nonprofits. And you know, these are all in that category that they will take these sort of vacations they expect the best. And what that is depends on the person, to be honest. You know, some people are quite happy to go to Patagonia and do some glamping. Others, absolutely not. And that's where it's about understanding your donor and speaking to, you know, us as the travel experts of knowing, okay, well, you know, this would appeal to this range. This will appeal to that range. We also have a winner's choice packages, which sounds like that's what the winners choose. But actually what it is, is that the winner gets to choose from a variety of different experiences. So that appeals to a wider base as well. Some, you know, some people want to go domestic. Other people want to go, you know, skiing. And others just want the beach. And so we create these two, trying to appeal to a wider range of people and understanding their needs. And again, providing them with that consistency, speaking to the nonprofits, you've got to understand that these are their most prized assets, the donors. And it's not worth the $5, $10,000 they're gonna get from that trip that you sold for them if you ruin the relationship or if you damage their trust. So then you need to take care of them the best possible, make sure that when things go wrong, cause things inevitably will sometimes go wrong. You are there, you have a response and you can make it right. And let me ask you this question because, you know, for those of you that are watching or maybe just jumped on, the ecosystem of this transaction really is occurring at a gala or an event, correct? Where there's an auctioneer and there's some sort of engagement with that group in that ballroom or meeting room, whatever. How are you seeing some of these hybrid events or online auction pieces? Or is the travel still being held to the live auction piece? We've seen it diversify definitely in recent months in the last year really. And it's still predominantly more effective, I think in a live auction environment. It is, you know, when you're shopping online and you have that moment to be like, okay, well, what do I want? You know, is that, is these four, five options that my nonprofit has offered me really gonna be like, okay, that's what I want. We'd have to get pretty lucky in some cases. And we do have some that would do well in that environment, which are definitely much more unique, experiential sort of packages for that.  And I think that's where you get the thanks and you get the recognition there. And that's where we see it is very effective. And on the backend, what we do to kind of solve to the problem of like, well, did we hit this on the head? Like just out of chance or not. What we do on the backend is we try and tailor that for them. So when they come to us and we fulfill it, we don't say, hey, sorry, Julia, you got five nights in Turks and Caicos, two bedrooms, doesn't matter if you want three bedrooms or you wanna six nights. No, what do you like? We have access to the world here. And these kind of donors, these high net worth individuals, they don't like to be told, no. They like to be told, okay, well, it costs you $800 more for this or something. Okay, oh, well, that's what I want. And this is their time. They wanna maximize it.  And so what we do as a result, we get people much happier with their trip because we're able to customize it exactly for them after the fact, as opposed to going to the nonprofit and sometimes they'll know their donors really well. Okay, this person we made a trip for, there was one of the Andy Roddick Foundation and to think so for $400,000. They raised hundreds of thousands of dollars off that package of loan and that was custom. See, going to the Australian Open, meeting pros, vineyard tours, all this kind of helicopter tours, it was all out. When it's at that level and you know your donors and you're speaking to a few people, sure. If not, we try and make it a little bit more generic because after the fact, that's when we put our magic touch on it because everyone's different and we're not gonna try and guess your needs without having spoken to you. I think that's just a faux pas in hospitality in general. Yeah, interesting. Well, let's talk then, you know, a little bit more about these costs that are associated with it, as well as the process of travel because I hear you say, you know, Lux give really does pay that attention to the donor specifically. So talk to us about these associated costs if you would, Nick. Absolutely, and this is the difficult part, I think, of coming up with the experiences, honestly was the pricing of it and how to get this right, what's the balance because you've got two clients. One is the nonprofit. You wanna raise as much funds for them as possible, but then you have to bridge the gap between whatever you raised because we'll have like a $3,000, $4,000 experience cost to the nonprofit that will easily sell for $12,000, $15,000. Now there's a big gap between the two and even with the discounts that the nonprofit get for what we're offering them, there's still a gap because we're doing our job so well and raising funds for the nonprofits. Now, how do we bridge that gap, I think, is the twofold. So I think that the first thing is we keep the core costs as low as possible. So we don't include flights as an example. Now that's an exclusion. We never include flights. The reason for this is just add so much extra costs and little value. Anyone can book their own flights and the costs we'd have to build in would have to be based on the most expensive, really. So it doesn't add very much value. It doesn't raise more funds for the nonprofit. And so we're like, no, we don't do that. What we do include is all the extras.  And I've actually been victim of that recently when I was checking out some experiences. We took part of it on a cruise to see if we wanted to include it in our offerings. And I think it'd be resounding no at this point.   And so we include all of our taxes, all cleaning fees, all the extras. There's no, okay, and you need a booking fee or service fee or anything like this. The only extras that we charge is if you want more. And this is what we try and do as well is keep it to a minimum. Make these packages simple because if you start adding one, two, three, four experiences on, you're gonna have to get lucky for those to be the four experiences that these people want to do anyway.  We'll have a wine tour in Sonoma, that makes sense. But if you start adding on and then this meal and that meal, what if they are allergic to that food or, you know, they don't like sushi or, you know, pizza like, I don't know. These people will go to restaurants anyway. They will go and book two or three other experiences of themselves, you know, pre-stocking in the grocery or fridge. What do you want? You know, if I just guess for you, I'll get half fit right.  Again, the nonprofit's not winning and the donor's not winning. So that's really what we try and do to get the best pricing for that. Obviously you have very long windows to travel which you build into it and that's based on our relationships with our suppliers that were able to do that. And ultimately, I think one of the biggest value ads here is the concierge service. So that's something that's very underrated and it was something that was absolutely essential in our previous lives to provide real value was having the concierge team be able to basically be a trip designer. You know, these people know the areas, they know the best places to go, they have all the best connections to suppliers. You know, oftentimes they'll provide you with discounts because like, oh, they have the best boat charters and these people love us. So it's like, because we're signing a business all the time and they're like, oh, give them 20, 30% off, perfect. Hey, by the way, you get this sort of discount. So they get extra value just from the referrals. You know, they'll talk to the winners and be like, okay, what are you going for? Is it celebration? Is it just relaxation? And then based on that, they'll make the recommendations. We just had someone in St. Martin who wants to get some proposed to their fiancee or sorry, to their girlfriend. And he was like, oh, I just want this, this and this. Very simple. And our concierge, she was just like, okay, I heard you tell me this, but what you actually mean is this, this and this.  He wanted something playing from an iPhone. She's like, no, we're getting a band. No, we're doing this, we're doing this. And just knocked it out of the park and they came back, flabbergasted like, wow, there is the extra value for that. And that's what's included. Obviously, she said yes, right? Oh yeah, she said yes. It was a resounding yes. It might have worked with the iPhone, but it wouldn't have been the same thing. You know, Nick, it's really interesting because I think it's, I want to be very clear on this. And that is, is that a non-profit, the development director can hand over this transaction. Because I think a lot of times with travel, you know, the development team is like, oh man, I'm going to have to totally get in the weeds on this. But what I hear you saying is that with, you know, the handover, that's removed. That aspect is managed outside of the non-profit. That is absolutely mandatory for us. We don't want them getting involved, to be honest. It's much smoother, much easier. This is what we do, you know, just even from like availability questions and like, you know, transferring over from one destination other, we allow that as well. But you know, let me talk to them, see what they're like, you know, what are you looking for? We can recommend the best destinations based on your profile and everything like that. But yeah, I know it's completely, you know, plug and play and on top of that, you know, I completely get the donated trips and the value there. But then, you know, who's doing the linens? See who's doing the toiletries? You know, who's doing the check-in? Who's doing, you know, there's a lot of different pieces. Are you booking the transfers? Are you asking the owners now for availability and checking, making sure that they're booked off? And there's a lot of moving pieces that we feel that the non-profits time are better spent building their relationships with their donors and the relationships with the donors instead of like doing what we do for a living, which is travel. The other thing I want to mention to this because I feel like, you know, I hear and see this quite a bit, Nick, is the development team or the development committee, right, volunteers will say, we can't do, that's too expensive, right? And so I feel like we development are often adding these auction items with our budget in mind, as opposed to the donor's budget in mind. So I love when you said, you know, like really know your audience. Any tips on that, Nick? Because I would love to see Lux give, you know, at many more of these events, and to get that kind of paradigm shift from, maybe I development person can't afford this, but we have a whole room of donors that absolutely are craving this experience. Can you talk to us about that briefly? Absolutely. And I can actually speak this in compared to our previous lives where that's who we dealt with. And on average, the average expense that we would have on the accommodations alone was $12,500 for our clients. Now that is way higher than any of the packages, the average of packages that we sell. And I think this comes down to exactly that mentality, like they can afford it, you know? And it's, you know, if you're just giving generic stuff, fine, I understand. You know, people aren't going to be bidding that high, but when we're talking about an elevated experience here with the kind of, you know, pre-marketing that you need to do, you have to get people excited about this, videos. We love having videos. Whenever anyone has like a video, well, please put on videos. That's what sells the experience. We show actual photos of the residences and experiences that they're gonna be on. Then you realize that, okay, the budget that you have in mind may not be realistic with what, you know, these people actually are able to afford. $12,500 is very normal. That was our average. And, you know, if we drop that down to five, six, 7,000, you know, we hear a lot of nonprofits like, oh, I don't know about that. Like that's because, you know, that is travel. That's what it costs at the moment. And that's a good experience to have. So one thing that we look at is ticket price as well. So, you know, that's a usually good indicator of, you know, what kind of caliber of donor you're gonna be getting in the room. But as a strategy as a tactic, we do often suggest that you have a couple bands, like especially if you haven't done this before, don't put all your eggs in the basket with one really high end one. Have like that lower end, have that medium, and have a high end. And then, you know what, next year, you know, after the event, we're gonna say what worked, what didn't. Okay, and then we're gonna come back and we're gonna tweak and we're gonna optimize. Cause we wanna make sure that you're raising more year after year, that's the goal.  You should probably get just two high end ones now. Next year or something like that and raise an extra 50 grand. So before we let you go, cause we don't have that much time left, what is the actual or the average revenue share situation? At the very beginning, I thought I heard you say 140%. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So walk us through that really quickly. So what we're saying there is that based on the consignment price, and this is per experience. I'm not talking about like multiples or anything like this at this point. Cause obviously then it just gets higher. But what we're doing is we're looking at the cost of the experience. So if you have a $4,000 package, how much does that sell for? That's gonna be 140% above that $4,000. So you're now raising 104% of that 4,000, meaning that you're gonna be taking home just shy of $6,000 for that one package. So that's our average raise. I know that when I did some original research the consignment industry does sort of land around 40%. I think, and that's still good. I think we have to get nonprofits, allow them off the idea that this is, you can only have 8% expense ratio or something like this because that's not how a business runs. Like they have to operate as a business. You got people running this and they need a salary. I think that's something that has to change in the nonprofit world so that we can have more efficient nonprofits. It's not just about how much is donated. Like it has to be like you're running as a business sometimes. And this is the perfect example where do you wanna spend your time hunting down that? Do you wanna spend your time now fulfilling these trips? Perhaps not having the best experience, perhaps damaging that trust with your donor. Instead, look for other solutions. If you don't do consignments, look for underwriters or sponsors for it.  And so they had their name up there on the screens. This church's vehicles experience and they're associated with it. And that means 100% of it goes to the nonprofits, the raise, cause that's been sponsored. So there are ways around it, but I think we just need to be more creative with that. And yeah, that's a very good ratio for us, the 140%.  It's been a while. And for those of you that are listening and thinking about this for your events happening in the near future, I know we have a big, you know, push again in the fall, but events are on, travel is on, you know, there's a lot of energy around wanting to travel. So Nicholas Meekins, thank you. And for your entire team, I just, you know, really pleased to hear the growth and success that you're having.

Again, I'm Julia Patrick, CEO of the American Nonprofit Academy. I've been joined today by the non-profit nerd herself, Jared Ransom, CEO of the Raven Group.
